"Please tell me." Liu put his hands on his knees, leaned his body slightly to the side, and stared straight at Charles.

Charles did not answer directly, but lit another fairy wand:

"In my eyes, Miss Liang, your justice..."

"Eh? Is it just me?"

Ciel smiled bitterly: "You know, the others don't seem to be very friendly to me. I also think that they are just using the name of "justice" to justify violence."

Ryuu frowned, "It may sound harsh, and I want to refute you, but I think Kaguya will agree with this answer."

Then she looked at Charles curiously again, "What kind of justice am I performing in Mr. Charles' eyes?"

Charles groaned for a moment: "Ms. Liang, you are always so upright and honest. Hey... just like fireworks."

"Fireworks?" Liu turned and stared at the sparkler.

"Well, it can dispel darkness and bring light and hope. Although it is beautiful, it is always fleeting. You shine every day, but you don't know whether you will burn out in the next second, or go out halfway."

Liu lowered his head: "There is a god who thinks that we are just wasting our sense of justice. If one day our sense of justice is exhausted... what will become of us?"

Ciel pointed at the fireworks that were about to turn into ashes: "Of course it will turn into ashes."

"Your justice is beautiful and correct, but it is too idealistic. Not everyone can do it. I admire you very much. But reality is not a fairy tale. If you want to enforce such idealized justice, the price you pay is heavy."

Liu looked at the gunpowder that had merged with the earth and said in dissatisfaction, "Is there no one who can achieve this ideal of justice?"

"Yes." Charles smiled and said, "Those people are called heroes."

Liu opened his mouth.

Charles raised his finger and said, "Let me ask you a question. If there is one person on the left and ten thousand people on the right, if you want to save one, you must kill the other. Which one would you choose, Liang?"

Liu was silent for a long time, then asked, "Xia Ersan, what about you?"

"right."

"Why?" Liu was surprised.

"Because I'm just an ordinary person." Ciel scratched his head: "I'm not a justice partner. Of course I saved more people."

"Think about it again. What if there is one person on one side and a hundred people on the other? Which side should we kill?"

"One person?" Liu couldn't answer and asked tentatively.

"I will make the same choice again." Charles continued to ask: "What if there is one person on both sides this time?"

"This..." Liu couldn't make a decision.

Ciel spread his hands: "This is what you call the exhaustion of your sense of justice. When you make a choice, you are no longer just."

When Liu became depressed again and began to doubt himself, Ciel chuckled and said, "Do you want to know what the hero will choose?"

"How to choose?" Liu looked at Charles hopefully, as if he saw hope.

"Even a hero would choose to kill someone." Charles sneered.

Liu's eyes widened in disbelief: "Impossible, how can such a person be called a hero?"

Charles' expression became serious: "Because, that person will always be himself."

Liu's breathing stopped and he stood up suddenly.

Chapter 169 Justice is love!

Ciel looked up and stared at Liu who seemed to understand something. He sighed, "That's why I said, Miss Liang, you look a lot like Hanabi."

“When faced with a choice, the best way is to burn yourself.”

If you can't answer the question, and you can't solve the problem of the person who asked the question, there is another way, which is to solve the problem of the person who answered the question. (Funny)

"This is too sad." Liu slowly pondered the story and sat back down next to Ciel.

Ciel raised his eyebrows: "Well... after all, that's how heroes' stories are written. Of course, it's possible that only dead heroes are worthy of being praised by future generations. The living ones all married princesses and reached the pinnacle of their lives."

Charles smirked, "Ah, I don't even have time to be envious, jealous, or hateful. Who has the energy to praise a group of people who live a more extravagant life than themselves?"

"How can this be possible?" Liu curved his eyes: "Is there no better ending?"

"Of course there is..." Charles relit a fairy wand: "This is you..."

When the fairy wand was about to go out, he brought another fairy wand closer: "Look..."

Liu narrowed his eyes in thought.

Charles brought up two more fairy wands, followed by three and four.

The brilliant fireworks illuminated the central fountain, attracting the attention of many residents, who stopped to admire it.

When the fireworks died down, Ciel said calmly, "Look, the people you helped will help everyone, and justice will come back in cycles. So, even if it's short-lived, what you did will not lose its meaning."

"Everyone is fighting for the same ideal and holding the same belief. The flames of heroes will turn into a fire of fuel."

"Even if your sense of justice is exhausted, there will be countless successors who are inspired by justice and will shine again in your place."

"Well said!" Another energetic voice jumped out from the shadows!

The gray-haired girl blinked and made a scissors gesture: "Clang clang, it's Adi Farmada who is eavesdropping shamefully but can't bear to interrupt the conversation, wants to butt in, but can't bear to do so!"

"Adi? Why do you have to introduce yourself every time you show up?" Liu complained loudly.

Charles said seriously: "This kind of behavior is usually called stealing the show."

However, generally these types of characters are just minor roles, but if you keep emphasizing their names, they are likely to die.

Girl, your death star is shining!

"Hey~" Adi jumped to Ciel's side and held Ciel and Liu's hands: "As expected of Mr. Ciel, you think the same as I did."

"That's right! The people we have helped will also help others! Today's kindness will bring smiles tomorrow! Justice is flowing!"

Ciel and Liu pulled their hands away awkwardly, their cheeks slightly reddened: "This is what a friend of mine told me."

"Hey, please make sure to let me get to know him." Adi insisted.

"He also heard it from others." Charles tried to change the subject: "Do you want to hear his own understanding of justice?"

Liu frowned and listened attentively: "Be sure to tell me."

Charles thought for a moment and said in Belle's tone: "For her, justice is 'thank you'."

"Huh?" Liu became interested.

"She always apologizes and always gets help, so she wants to say thank you to those who helped her, and then everyone can laugh from the bottom of their hearts together." Charles smiled:

"Ah, this answer doesn't quite fit in with justice, but I feel that accumulating the right things until the world is filled with happiness and smiles is also a part of justice."

"Yeah! Yeah!! Smailu! Smile! It's the same story as Argo." Adi patted Liu's thigh.

"Ah, now that you mention it..." Ciel was stunned for a moment, then he stroked his chin and said, "So, the way to practice justice is to become the urban idol that God talks about? Use your singing and dancing to make everyone smile!"

"Oh, oh! Idol? Well, idols are good! Let's turn weapons into musical instruments!" Aditi pulled Liu up and slowly circled in the central lake.

"Adi~~~~"

Liu's face flushed and she pouted.

Ciel took down Ryu and Adi's weapons and beat them rhythmically, with sparkling fireworks spinning in circles around them.

Residents passing by nearby saw this dreamy scene and stopped to watch with longing smiles.

Liu's depressed mood disappeared at this moment. No matter what kind of justice it was, she felt it was good, but she still had to find her own justice.

Until then, just do one of the two.

The dance ended and Adi waved goodbye. She still pretended to investigate the "illegal stolen goods trafficking den."

Liu lowered his hand in farewell.

"Charles, you are a man of great wisdom." She turned her head and looked at Charles: "Are those all the justice of Mr. Charles' "friends"? "

"Yes……"

"What about Mr. Charles himself? Didn't he find justice?" Liu asked curiously.

"Me?" Charles shrugged. "I'm not as noble as you think. The justice I understand is not great, but rather a bit dirty."

"Hmm? Can justice still be dirty?"

"Ah..." Ciel's eyes were deep: "Do you think the monsters in the dungeon are righteous or evil?"

"Of course it's evil!" Liu said as a matter of course.

"Why? What did they do wrong?" Charles asked back.

"They ate a lot of people! They took countless lives!" Liu said with a righteous look on his face.

"Then the question is, what are humans to pigs, cows, and sheep? The food you eat, the fur you peel off from animals, the silk you peel off from silkworm eggs...how many lives have been plundered?"

“……!” Liu was angry at first and wanted to open his mouth to refute, but the next second he bit his lips and finally felt relieved.

"Very... sharp question. I've never thought about it."

Ciel spread his hands: "Look, what is the original definition of justice and evil? In this set of rules of good and evil, discussing what is justice is really boring."

“Everything in the world is not black or white, good or evil. If there is something absolutely right, it is an ideal.”

"The ideal of monsters is to have endless meat to eat, to roam freely on the earth, and to have a blue sky. The ideal of cattle and sheep is to bask in the sun every day, to have grass to eat when they wake up, and to enjoy their mates when they are in estrus."

"The ideal of mankind is also to spend every moment happily with a smile. But this ideal is blocked by monsters and various factors. Therefore, monsters are defined as evil by smart humans!"

"You see, the source of evil is the blocked "ideal". In contrast, justice is the "ideal". "

Liu sat there and thought for a long time: "Mr. Ciel, your wisdom is really beyond my comprehension."

"It's really abstract, a bit like stream of consciousness." Charles smiled: "The reason why an ideal is called an ideal is because it cannot be easily realized."

"So, those who can break common sense and rules and reach their ideals are called heroes."

Chapter 170: War Letter!

"So, in the previous story, the hero chose to sacrifice himself? He essentially created a third option besides the two options?" Liu asked tentatively.

"You are very smart."

Ciel smirked and said, "That question has an even more ridiculous answer. Do you want to hear it?"

Liu asked curiously: "The fourth ending?"

Ciel nodded: "That's to solve the problem."

Liu said, "Is this okay?"

Ciel spread his hands: "You can't predict what choice others will give you, but you can decide whether you have the ability to change it. If you are not capable enough and fail to counterattack, then you may become a demon who "kills" both sides at the same time."

"How can you use the word 'kill'?" Liu lowered his eyebrows.

Charles showed a helpless expression: "Sorry, it's still because of ideals. When you go against the "ideals" that everyone hopes for and make different choices. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, you become a "murderer" because you can obviously save "most people", but you chose the stupidest way. "

"Compared to the third option, sacrificing oneself will obviously not be blamed by others."

"Yes, this is very unjust and not very positive, but isn't it a way to a perfect ending? Well, do you know what people who take the latter path are called?"

Liu was stunned: "What?"

Ciel smiled: "Villain."

Liu said unhappily, "Are you referring to those people from the secret faction?"

Ciel sneered, "Villains are not brainless creatures. They are just lunatics. Ha, they don't even have their own ideals. All they have in their heads is the will given to them by God."

"Give me an example." Ciel turned his head and stared at Liu: "Have you ever thought about why the former heroes [Silence] and [Gluttony] helped the dark faction?"

Liu was stunned again and shook his head: "Do you know?"

Ciel spread his hands: "I don't know either. But there must be a reason that would force the heroes to make the choice of destroying Orario."

"So, they are the real villains."

"As for those dark factions, they don't even know why they want to destroy the world. They are just puppets controlled by God."

Ciel asked seriously: "If killing, sacrifice, and destruction can bring a more "ideal" future than salvation and blessing, then is it "justice"? "
