The topic suddenly became heavier.

But Shi Xiaobai seems not just connecting a fictional absurd story, but wants to express some of his own thoughts.

This may be an opportunity to get to know him in depth.

Li Chenxi suddenly became a little nervous. She hesitated for a while and asked, "Why did that human being ask you?"

The boy's head, which was resting on her shoulder, moved gently again, but he spoke softly without thinking, as if the problem that made the kings realize that the mistake was real, not a temporary fabrication with a flash of inspiration.

"The Creator God who created mankind cursed a young man one day, and that was a curse that would make the whole body feel painful when he saw the sad person."

Shi Xiaobai began to talk about the issue that changed the fate of the king.

"In order to avoid their own pain, the youth lend a helping hand to all the sad people."

"Not long after, the Creator God copied the youth and made a fake."

“The replica has no will, and does the same thing as the real youth, and also lends a helping hand to all the sad people.”

"The Creation God named the youth and the fake ones separately, one named ‘good’ and the other named ‘hypocrisy’.”

"Which one do you think is good and which one is hypocritical?"

A story that is not complicated, but its meaning is very difficult, and even less simple is the last question.

Who was named "good" by the Creator God and who was named "hypocritical" by the Creator God?

There are only two answers, this is a multiple-choice question that chooses one of two.

Even if you speak the answer intuitively, you will have a 50% correct rate.

If in order to make the conversation continue faster, then directly saying the answer that flashed through your mind might be the best choice, but this time, Li Chenxi was not in a hurry, but thought seriously.

It is certainly good to be able to listen to his voice and his thoughts.

But this is not enough to satisfy her. She doesn't need much, but once she needs it, she won't be content easily.

Listening and catering blindly cannot constitute "chat".

Now, it's her turn to convey her voice!

"First, youth are real, and fakes are fakes made after copying the youth, which can be said to be true and false. Second, youth lending a helping hand to all sad people is undoubtedly a kind of good deed, while fakes have no self-will, and the good deeds they do are just simple imitations. Therefore, youth are named "good" and fakes are called "hypocrisy", which is probably the most logical answer."

Li Chenxi suddenly wanted to move a distance back and take a look at the boy's expression and look at the moment, but she knew that doing this was a "foul" behavior at this time, so she had to resist the impulse.

"So, is that your answer?"

Shi Xiaobai was silent for a while and said softly.

A smile appeared involuntarily on the corner of Li Chenxi's mouth, because Shi Xiaobai said this in an emotionally unrestrained tone that she was best at, obviously not wanting her voice to reveal any effective information.

What a strict examiner.

She shook her head slowly and said softly: "Although it is the most logical answer, it is not my answer, nor is it the real answer. Because pursuing the 'good' of logic is precisely a kind of 'hypocrisy'."

"Um."

Shi Xiaobai snorted lightly and whispered: "Continue."

Li Chenxi nodded and said slowly: "Although the young man extended a helping hand to everyone, the reason he did this was because he was cursed by the Creator God. He did good deeds to avoid his own pain. Although he did good deeds, his purpose was for himself, which is undoubtedly a hypocrisy."

"It is different for fakes. He has no self-will. He simply copied the behavior of the young man. Extending a helping hand to everyone is part of his existence, an instinctive behavior, without any pursuit of personal interests, so he is so pure that he cannot be more purely good."

"Youth is hypocritical, fakes are truth and goodness, this is my answer!"

After saying his answer in one breath, Li Chenxi immediately pushed Shi Xiaobai away from his arms, stretched out his hands to support his shoulders, and opened a certain distance while making his eyes parallel to his gaze.

Sure enough, those black eyes were still so bright and dazzling. Even though it was a dark night sky, it was shining with the brilliance of stars.

"Hey, my answer is correct, right?"

Although he had seen the answer he wanted from his expression, he was still eager to get real confirmation.

Shi Xiaobai looked at her for a moment, and suddenly grinned, "This is how I answered that human being. You and I said almost the same answer."

Li Chenxi was not surprised by the correctness of the answer, but when he heard this result, he still felt a little happy. He couldn't tell whether it was happy because the answer was correct or because he held the same answer as the boy.

Hey, the answer is correct?

Li Chenxi suddenly thought of something and said, "What is the answer from that human being after you answer? Are my and you correct?"

Li Chenxi keenly realized that Shi Xiaobai only mentioned the same answers between the two, but did not answer directly whether her answer was correct.

Sure enough, Shi Xiaobai's expression suddenly became a little serious. He looked into her eyes and said, "That human, without giving an answer, asked me instead."

Li Chenxi said in surprise: "Question?"

Shi Xiaobai paused for a moment, as if he wanted to brew an atmosphere that was sufficiently set off, and then said meaningfully: "The reason why fakes can do good purely is because they have no self-awareness at all and they will not think for themselves. The youth extends a helping hand to everyone, but it is called hypocrisy because the good deeds he does are self-interested, and the starting point is for himself. But the fundamental reason is ultimately because the young man has self-awareness and knows how to think for himself. The difference between good and hypocrisy is actually whether the motivation of the person who does good is self-interested."

"So, can humans with self-awareness really do pure good?"

"Humans are not machines, they have self-awareness. Even if they harm their own interests and do good, they cannot be selfless, because they (she) can obtain psychological satisfaction, and psychological satisfaction is also a kind of self-interest interest, which is just a sacrifice and acquisition of psychological needs and material interests."

"For example, a young man sacrificed his life to save a hundred people. Why did he do this? Because in his heart, 'save a hundred people' is greater than 'save himself'. After his own thinking, he made the most correct choice. He did this for those hundred people, but in fact it was also for himself, because the person he chose was himself. Of course, there was also the act of "save a hundred people" but eventually doing the act of "save a hundred people". In this case, his choice was obviously forced, not out of his own will. However, from another perspective, he had actually made a choice between "accepting" and "resisting" and his behavior still belonged to his own will!"

"To sum up, it is impossible for humans to do pure good because humans have self-awareness and humans can make choices, and choices themselves are selfish behaviors! Therefore, human 'good' should not be called 'good', but 'hypocrisy'!"

"When hypocrisy is greater than 'good', it is actually distorted into 'evil'! When humans use the name of good to satisfy their will and give the good name in their own choices, then 'good' becomes a weapon to whitewash "selfish". Isn't it a disguised 'evil'?"

"Imagine that a young man extends a helping hand to a sad person because of a curse. If he meets a sad person who cannot be saved and has been suffering from the curse, but no matter how hard he tries, he cannot save the other party in the abyss of sadness. Then what will the young man who saves him in order to stop suffering from his pain? The young man will most likely erase the sad person who cannot be saved and save himself! Because when "hypocrisy" is forced into desperate situations, he will turn unscrupulously into "evil"."

"Man has a distinction between good and evil, but how do we divide it? Humans cannot do pure good at all. At most, hypocrisy is hypocrisy. Even if it is hypocrisy, the difference between evil is just a matter of degree."

“So, can ‘good and evil’ really define human behavior?”

"Does the concept of 'good and evil' really have meaning to human beings?"

"Is 'good and evil' a cage that imprisons 'original sin' or a shackle that imprisons 'self'?"

"Although you are the king who created 'good and evil', I ask, is what you created the real 'good and evil'?"

Shi Xiaobai's expression was extremely complicated. When retelling every question, it seemed that he was not only telling the story in his memories, but also questioning himself again.

He ended the monologue of "that human" with a long silence, and looked at the ice-blue eyes quietly for a long time. Shi Xiaobai sighed softly and said, "This is the question that 'that human' sent to me with a two-choice question, and it is also the last words of 'that human'...."

Li Chenxi was slightly shocked and asked, "Did you kill him?"

Shi Xiaobai shook his head slowly, "It's not me, it's 'good and evil' that erased him. Although 'good and evil' are not life, it is an eternal law that transcends life. They were created by me, without thoughts and follow the rules, but unexpectedly they have a very 'personality' and are extremely angry at the sow discord of 'that human', so they completely erased his existence."

Li Chenxi laughed and said, "The law of 'personality'? It's really a fresh and interesting statement. If I guess correctly, you don't agree that the human questioning is sow discord, so that he has doubts about the law of 'good and evil', and even has the idea of ​​'modifying' it, so the king's status will be shaken, right?"

Shi Xiaobai raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, "Well, you guessed it right. I didn't expect you to understand what I said so quickly and correctly analyze the profound meaning of my king. It would be a pleasant thing to chat with you."

“Each one another.”

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Chenxi's mouth. At this time, she was clearly a handsome young man-like appearance, but she had a girlish charm when she smiled. In addition to being a cold temperament, she also had the reason for perfectly concealing the fact that women dressed up as men. However, in front of Shi Xiaobai, she almost removed her guard, and of course she would not care about the emotions that had always been tightly sealed on her expression.

But the smile did not last long, Li Chenxi's expression suddenly became serious. She looked at Shi Xiaobai's eyes and said seriously: "I am just a person who listens to stories. I shouldn't be talking too much, but since it's a 'chat', I think I shouldn't hide my true thoughts. Of course, that human question is very interesting, and the subsequent questions seem to make sense, but is there any other reason for questioning the laws I created?"

"The human question is somewhat reasonable, but in fact it is more of a pervert. The word "good and evil" alone is certainly not enough to define complex human nature. But is it far-fetched to ask whether "good and evil" have any meaning to human beings?"

"The conjecture about young people going from 'hypocrisy' to 'evil' is ultimately a conjecture, with a probabilistic problem. It can only be said that the young people will kill the sad people who cannot be saved in order to save themselves from pain, but there is still a very small probability that the young people endure the pain until the end and did not give up their efforts. At this time, it can be completely considered that young people have sublimated from 'hypocrisy' to pure 'good'."

"Humans do have self-awareness. In the face of many multiple-choice questions in life, they can make choices independently. This is of course a self-interested behavior. But if they are forced to make choices that go against their will, the self-awareness actually does not play a role at this time. "That human" says that they can make choices of "acceptance" and "resistance" independently, and they are forced to have "self-interested behavior". Isn't it amplifying the concept of "self-interested behavior" and exaggerating the existence of "self-interested behavior" and digging too deeply the definition of "self-interested"?"

"Abstract, I think that part of the questioning of that human being is worth pondering, but it is not enough to shake your will. I think you can see the clues I can see, so I think the reason why you question the law of 'good and evil' is not that simple? Or..."

Li Chenxi suddenly stopped when she said this. In fact, what she wanted to say was, "Or because the time for making up the story was too hasty, she didn't expect this loophole?" But in order to continue to communicate "pleasantly", she still had to assume that everything Shi Xiaobai said was true. There are indeed many complaints in this story, but if she questioned the story itself, she would probably be in arguing that she would be unable to argue. She hoped to understand Shi Xiaobai's thoughts through conversation, rather than Shi Xiaobai's mouth skills.

Of course, the loopholes in the "human question" fabricated by Shi Xiaobai are not just about just wanting to express his thoughts frankly. In fact, she also wants to see Shi Xiaobai's ability to deal with it. When many loopholes in his fictional story are found, he needs to think about how long he can further make it true.

But what surprised Li Chenxi again was that Shi Xiaobai responded almost as soon as she finished speaking.

Shi Xiaobai chuckled and said, "I underestimate you. I didn't expect that you are not only listening to stories, but also thinking about the story so thoroughly from the perspective of God. You are right. I will question the law of "good and evil". In fact, after the death of 'that human', I suddenly went to the human world on a whim. For the highest-level existence, the human world is like an ant's cave and will never get involved. But after this investigation of the human world, I found the mistakes I have made all the time."

"In the human world, I have seen many unreasonable situations. The child who steals food for a hungry mother is regarded as a "evil" and beaten to death; the torture of chopping the murderer into a stick and exposing him to the sun is regarded as a "good deed" by the people; the rich lady gave a beggar ten taels of gold for mercy, but the beggar was guilty of possessing a treasure. Not only was the gold robbed by the thugs, but the beggar was also beaten to become disabled. The rich lady actually did "evil" out of "good intentions". A certain king launched a war for his ambition, resulting in the death of countless people. If the invasion is successful, it will be praised as a great "good deed". On the contrary, once the invasion fails, it will be cursed as an eternal "evil king"..."

"There are countless such unreasonable things. 'good and evil' are often distorted and misunderstood in the human world, and even turned black and white. Although the judgment of 'good and evil' requires the position of the judge, the biggest problem is that the position of the majority is regarded as the real 'good and evil', while the position of the few is distorted into 'wrong', whether it is 'right' or not, it will be distorted into 'wrong'. 'good' is essentially dominated by 'power'. Which side has a stronger 'power' and which side is 'good'."

"In my previous understanding, human beings are just low-level living organisms in the lower plane. However, because human beings are low-level lives, there are much more needs and desires than other high-level lives. Needs and desires lead to human nature being much more complex than gods and demons. I, who have always paid attention to higher planes, have never noticed that although the 'good and evil' created by my king is suitable for gods and demons, it is far from enough for humans."

"Why did the 'human' have been practicing hard for thousands of years, and finally went from a mere human cultivation to a level that surpassed gods and demons, and came to me through many difficulties, but just to say this question of "seeking death"? Why is he willing to question "good and evil" at the risk of being killed by "good and evil"? The reason why he did this is because the law of "good and evil". In the human world, it is not a cage that imprisons "original sin", but a shackle that imprisons "self". For humans, strength is the root of "good and evil".

"He loves mankind deeply and hates mankind, but he is unable to change the status quo, so rather than saying that he is questioning me, he is asking me for my life."

After Shi Xiaobai finished speaking, he sighed deeply, as if he was remembering the great man who was flying into the fire and not willing to take care of it, as if he was compassionate about the contradiction between good and evil in the human world.

Li Chenxi was stunned for a long time after listening to it. She underestimated Shi Xiaobai's reaction speed and even underestimated Shi Xiaobai's ability to make up stories. After finally listening to the whole story, she suddenly felt a hint of depression and heavyness, as if this story was really happening. Although the concept of "King of Kings" and "The Law of Good and Evil" was so exaggerated and false, she could no longer conclude with complete confidence that the story was true and false.

Is it because he made the story too true?

Or is it because his acting skills are too realistic? The expression of nostalgia and compassion made her seem to see a former king questioning the "good and evil" she created.

Or is it because she can understand the ugliness of human nature that she resonates with the stories and principles he made up?

Li Chenxi suddenly felt his chest was stuffy, as if something was blocking it. She took a deep breath and said, "This is not the fault of good or evil, but the problem of human nature. Human nature is like this. As human beings, questioning human nature is equivalent to questioning ourselves. The only thing we can do is to try to restrain our dark side, but it is impossible to change the darkness of human nature itself."

Yes, this is what she has always known.

She could not change anyone's good and evil. The old patriarch was the author of the orphan plan and was the culprit who caused her to be exiled to the isolated island for three years. However, the old patriarch also treated her like a granddaughter, giving her the best everything, compensating her for her best growth environment and the brightest future.

She could not change the human nature of the old patriarch, could not judge the good and evil of the old patriarch, and she didn't even know whether to hate or be grateful to him.

Human nature is too complicated, and she is also in it.

The only thing she can do is to do things based on the good and evil she believes in, so that she will not let the darkness of nature swallow herself.

She can't change human nature.

So she chose to stay away.

So she would rather live in a world of one person.

This is her perception, is she wrong?
