(Thanks to the two big guys "Shahuan who loves to read" and "zslw_11" for their rewards, two-in-one update, there will be another update later)
8:4 noon Moscow time on August [-]th.

A piece of news began to be broadcast on major news platforms: "According to the RIA Novosti report: The K20 train from Moscow to the capital was hijacked by terrorists, and some witnesses said that the train was burning and running on the shore of Lake Baikal.

The Russian military has launched operations, rescuers and negotiators have gone to the site of the incident, investigators are also investigating the incident, and the Russian commander Пути is rushing to Irkutsk.
On the K20 train, there were more than 900 passengers and crew members. It is reported that at least 80 Chinese people took the train. There have been no reports of casualties yet. "

This news was accompanied by a satellite photo of a wrecked train running between a blue lake and red and green red pine forests. After entering the calm lake, there was an uproar on the Internet.

The hijacking of a train carrying more than 900 people is an earth-shattering event all over the world.

Cheng Mo, who was at the core of the storm, had a calm face, but he didn't look in a good condition. At the moment, the car was filled with cold wind, blowing Cheng Mo's black hair, the weather in Siberia was cool in summer, but Cheng Mo was expressionless. His face was still covered with sweat, like he was sweating profusely after exercising.

The engrossed Cheng Mo and the leisurely clown Sith stood opposite each other. The chessboard between them was held in the air like a magic carpet. What was even more mysterious was that there were mirage-like colorful projections on their heads, but Standing on the chessboard on the projection is not chess pieces, but people, those who are regarded as chess pieces
An unbelievable scene happened on the train, but no one spoke, and everyone watched the game with bated breath, as if this was the scene of the World Series, and the two people in front of them were competing for the title of world champion.

The situation on the chessboard is really unfavorable for Cheng Mo. The queen represented by Xie Minyun is running around on the chessboard. You must know that the queen is the most powerful chess piece in chess, because she can go straight, horizontally, obliquely, and walk. The number of grids is not limited, as long as there are no other pieces in front.

Therefore, even though Cheng Mo's chess strength is much higher than that of the clown Sith, he has fallen into a great passivity. If it is a normal game, if the opponent has such a queen piece that Cheng Mo cannot eat, no matter how powerful Cheng Mo is, he can only Disarm and surrender.

But what's interesting is that for the clown Sith, he can't eat Cheng Mo's pawns at will, because Cheng Mo's pawns represent all his people, and the only thing he can eat without any scruples is the one that represents Cheng Mo. the king.
At the beginning of today, Cheng Mo, who was holding the white first, changed from the rear pawn system to the king pawn system, while the clown Sith should deal with the king pawn. The two have entered Spain to start the debate.

Because there is an invincible queen piece, Sith the Clown has a great advantage. He deliberately chose a more positive change, and then discarded a pawn, taking the opportunity to disrupt the white king's front pawn and introduce complexity into the battle.

Although Cheng Mo's pawn formation is not ideal at this time, and his sub-forces are not active, he responds calmly, patiently and steadily improves the position of his sub-forces, and puts pressure on the clown Sith a little bit, making the situation develop in the direction he wants.

Neither of them had ever played such a contradictory and chaotic chess game. The clown Sith wanted to eat as few pieces as possible from the other side, and directly checkmate the king of Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo was caught in an even more difficult dilemma, and the situation in front of him Yes, there's only one way to go, an almost impossible way
Both sides played extremely distorted moves. As the battle became more and more complicated, various seemingly absurd moves appeared frequently. For example, the queen representing Xie Minyun ran in front of Cheng Mo's elephant but refused to eat, and Cheng Mo's Ma Mingming could put The car representing Nicholas was trampled to death, but did not move
This scene, which was worse than that of a beginner, seemed a bit thrilling to everyone on the field.

Because Cheng Mo's chess pieces represent innocent lives, if Cheng Mo eats one, an innocent life will die.

The clown Sith's chess pieces represent the enemy of everyone present, and if Cheng Mo sends one away, it means that everyone's chances of surviving will be greatly increased.

The expressions of the survivors in the two carriages were very exciting. Some were angry because of Cheng Mo’s indecision; some felt sorry because the clown Sith gave up eating again; On the face; some people are very determined in their hearts, and their intentions to attack violently are always in their eyes.

All in all, this is an ukiyo-e painting of people's hearts, in which everyone shows the most primitive state in front of survival and desire. At this moment, in these two carriages, everyone is alone, immersed in their own Greed, selfishness, stubbornness, and fragility filled their final shelter in the empty and silent space.

"Silent, you let me down so much, if you want to live, how can you do it without selling something?" The clown Sith shook his head and said to Cheng Mo.

"You disappointed me too, why don't my queen eat all your sons!" Cheng Mo said coldly.

"How can I be willing to let you die so quickly, I want to see more about what kind of color you are deep in your heart." The clown Sith said with a smile "hehe".

Cheng Mo saw the clown Sith's tongue protruding from the smile crack of the mask, and then licked the mask. It felt creepy, like being wrapped around the neck by a boa constrictor. You are tightening your body, you can feel the split letter hissing in front of your eyes, and then it slowly stretches out the terrifying triangular head to your eyes
The clown Sith looked at Cheng Mo and said, "Don't be naive, silent, you won't be able to find a solution if you procrastinate, why care about morality? Morality doesn't exist in the first place, it's all imagined by the superiors." , the shackles that imprison our thoughts and souls. Yes, morality is beneficial to social development to a certain extent, but this hypocritical appearance also greatly restricts our evolutionary speed. The essence of human evolution is natural selection, and the strong For your respect, in the words of Yuval Harari: War is 'the school of life', 'what doesn't kill me makes me stronger'. So, only with a heart that breaks all rules can you become more powerful"

The clown Sith hooked his hands like Cheng Mo, as if he was signaling to come to his arms, "come on! Silent, you have already let eight innocent people die, so what does it matter if you die a few more? Besides, You and these people just met by chance, why care about their life and death, people are going to die, this is a natural and reasonable process, you are not afraid of death, but are you afraid of letting them die? As for your little girlfriend."

The clown Sith looked at Xie Minyun at the side, shrugged his shoulders, "Women are just a boring species, except for reproduction, they are a burden, you are still young, maybe you don't understand how annoying women are, wait for you to experience more Once again, you will find that women are superficial and lack wisdom. Really, I tell you as someone who has experienced it!"

Cheng Mo didn't speak, but just ate another pawn of the clown Sith, the clown Sith laughed insanely, "Yes! Yes! That's it, we make the battle situation more chaotic, you know, the more chaotic, The more real your human nature is, the more naked people will be presented in front of you.”

The clown Sith did not continue playing chess, but turned his head to look at the person representing the chess piece, which happened to be the man from the Republic of China. At this moment, his will had completely collapsed, and he collapsed on the seat, only opening his eyes in horror. Looking at the clown Sith, the woman beside him was still crying, probably a couple.

The clown Sith shook his head, "Hey! I'm so sorry, but since fate chooses this way, I can't do anything about it. You seem to be from Han? I heard that a Gouli spy is with that Shirkov, if you can Provide some information, maybe I can help you.”

The man burst into tears and said: "I don't know, I really don't know!"

"Oh! Then I can only say I'm sorry!" The clown Sith raised his hand, as if he was about to snap his death fingers. The man from Han Country rushed over from his seat, and he hugged the clown Sith's leg, crying bitterly She said tearfully: "Please let me go, I will do anything for you. Please! I don't want to die yet!"

The clown Sith smiled at Cheng Mo, then looked down at the man hugging his leg and said, "Oh my God! I'm a little embarrassed by your piousness, why not? If you can throw your girlfriend away Get off the train, prove yourself to be a brave man who can abandon morality, and I might be able to consider giving you a chance."

The man hugged Clown Sith's leg, his body was shaking like chaff, and his voice was trembling, "No, don't. Except for this matter."

Clown Sith interrupted him impatiently, "Don't, don't waste my time, you have to be decisive, if you want to be as indecisive as this child, I might as well send you to see God right now and give you ten seconds Decide."

After a pause, the clown Sith said in an extremely seductive voice: "If you do it beautifully, maybe I, as the messenger of Satan, will give you the immortal power from the devil! With power like me, you can You can imagine what you get."

The man stood up tremblingly while crying, and he staggered towards his girlfriend, repeating unconsciously, "I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

The clown Sith spread his hands towards Cheng Mo, "Look. This is human nature. The so-called morality and rules are just a mask that people put on their faces. Once they face death, they will reveal their true face."

Then the clown Sith glanced left and right again, put one hand on his mouth, bowed his body as if whispering to Cheng Mo and whispered to Cheng Mo: "Don't look at the behavior of these people next to him, in fact they are the same, very It is obvious that they don't care about those innocent people, nor do they care about your winning or losing, the people with real backbone will die first."

The clown Sith straightened his body: "Neither the bystanders nor the superiors care about the fate of the chess pieces. I don't know if you want to be a chess piece on the chessboard, or want to be the standard bearer who can decide the fate of others like now?"

Cheng Mo didn't speak, and he didn't turn his head to look at the man from Han who strangled his girlfriend's neck. There was no one around to speak. It's the most sensible way to protect oneself. Even if it's their turn next moment, they can linger for a while longer.

In the cold wind and the cold sunshine, only Han Guo woman screamed hoarsely.

"Enough!" Suddenly a voice sounded, it was the calm voice of Napoleon VII, and then he said coldly: "Maurice, go and throw that Han countryman out!"

As soon as Napoleon VII finished speaking, Morris appeared next to the Han Guo man, and threw the Han Guo man out of the carriage like throwing garbage. The man flew in the air like a doll.

The clown Sith laughed "haha". He pointed at Napoleon VII and said, "A coward still pretends to be a messenger of justice? The most hypocritical person here is you. You put on a noble face on the surface, but you are actually a vampire."

Napoleon VII sneered: "Who am I? It's not up to you, a clown, to judge. The pain they have suffered, I will repay you a hundred times."

"Your ability to tell jokes is much better than mine. It seems that you are more suitable to be a comedian than me." After speaking, the clown Sith shot down one of Cheng Mo's elephants with a cannon representing Evans, making his king There is a barrier in front of him, "silent, I will be a general next step? Eat others? Or be eaten by others? You choose yourself. But if you look carefully, is there any way back for you?"

"Although you are playing chess now, you are still just a particle on the chessboard. The chessboard is the world. Everything exists only in the rules invented by us humans. In fact, this world exists outside the common imagination of mankind. Break the rules, and you will find that in this world, there is no God, no country, no wealth, no law, no rights, and no justice. Chaos and nothingness is the truth."

The clown Sith pointed at Cheng Mo and said, "I and others, humanity and divinity, you can only choose one of them!"

Cheng Mo closed his eyes and ate the car representing Mr. Evans with the queen. The desperate cries and shouts of Mr. Evans and Mrs. Evans came from his left side. Cheng Mo hoped so much at this moment He himself is the carrier, so that he can shield his hearing, but at this moment he is only himself.

The clown Sith laughed lightly at first, and then laughed louder and more presumptuously. His joyful and hearty laughter echoed throughout the carriage and the sky. He raised his head and looked at Cheng Mo, as if seeing a Very funny joke, "Ugh! Uh! Uh! Ha! Ha! Ha! Looks like you've made your choice! Yes, that's it, that's it, close your eyes and go into the darkness to be king, falling is better than flying It's much easier. If you want to be a king, you have to put aside the moral order. When you really ignore everything, you can not only become a king. You can also become a god."

Cheng Mo listened to the crazy laughter of the clown Siss and the mournful cries of the Evans family, and began to envy Xie Minyun. Sometimes it is a happy thing to be able to escape. He thought of Sisyphus, probably Sisyphus faced Perhaps the most the world feels is this moment of isolation.

At this moment, he chose to take on the responsibility that he shouldn't have, shouldering this meaningless world, and embarked on a ridiculous and endless road.

But if you think about it carefully, everyone in this world, every piece on the chessboard, is not Sisyphus, just like the "Myth of Sisyphus" said: "Get up, tram, four-hour office or Factory work, meals, trams, four-hour work, meals, sleep, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, most of the days go by in the same rhythm from day to day."

Everyone suffers.

Everyone bears a part of the weight of this world, doing careers that are meaningless and ineffective to themselves in a similar way. Life is an absurd game, but most people don't understand that he earns money in reality. Those gold coins, equipment, completed tasks, and obtained names are the same as those obtained in computer games, which have no meaning.

Existentialism (Note 1) thinker Camus (Note 2) once said: "In my opinion, there is nothing more stupid than dying on the road."

So in January 1960, Camus was sitting in a car. Due to the slippery rain, the car crashed into a tree on the side of the road. Camus was thrown through the rear window, his head went through the glass, his skull was cracked, his neck was broken, Died instantly.The god of fate let him die in a car accident.

It is biting philosophical irony that an existentialist thinker who had been battling the absurdity of existence died in what he called the dumbest car accident.

How ridiculous the world is!

A self-proclaimed refined egoist would actually take on responsibility and darkness for others that he shouldn't have.
"Don't you look back at your friend? He didn't even have time to say goodbye to his child!" The clown Sith looked at Cheng Mo as if he was about to burst into tears, while Mr. Evans was struggling on the chair. It was like being strangled by someone and unable to breathe.

The clown Sith once again moved the pawn representing Mrs. Evans to a position where Cheng Mo's horse could eat it, "Come on! Come on! Go on, the next one is that little girl! Let's reunite their family in heaven." His body Trembling slightly, the hem of the tuxedo fluttered in the wind, and the mask shone slightly dazzlingly in the sun.

Obviously, he was almost excited to the extreme, and he was only a few steps away. When Cheng Mo ate the son representing the little girl Rebecca and Xie Minyun and won the victory, he was about to reach the climax!

However, Cheng Mo did not capture the bishop representing Mrs. Evans. He jumped his horse in front of the queen, forming a strange position. His queen was trapped in the middle by his own chess piece and could not move. Then he There will be no pieces to move, in the rules of chess, one side has no pieces to move means a draw
Cheng Mo has planned for so long just for this moment.

He looked at the clown Sith on the opposite side and said coldly: "Then it's your turn to choose, if you don't eat my son, I will have no son to move, then the result is that you can't win, and I can't win, either. It's going to be a draw, so...do you eat or not?"

Seeing the miraculous chess game in the air, the people in the carriage let out incredible exclamations in such a terrifying atmosphere.

Clown Sith looked at the weird endgame in front of him, his body completely froze!

　　Note 2——Albert Camus, French writer, philosopher, representative of existential literature and absurd philosophy.His main works include "The Outsider" and "The Plague".

　　Camus won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. In his novels, plays, essays and treatises, he profoundly revealed the loneliness of man in an alien world, the increasing alienation between the individual and himself, and the inevitability of sin and death. avoid.But while he reveals the absurdity of the world, he is not desperate and decadent. He advocates rising up and resisting in the absurdity, adhering to truth and justice in despair, and he points out to the world a free humanitarian road other than Christianity and Marxism. .His courage in the face of the bleakness of life, his intrepidity in what he knew was impossible, made him, after the Second World War, not only in France, but also in Europe and ultimately the world, the spokesman of his generation and the next generation. man's spiritual guide.
