from Xingyuan

After saying goodbye to N4, Polina felt more and more wrong.

Although the lady seemed mysterious and had an unclear relationship with the master blacksmith, she didn't seem to be malicious towards herself.

Of course, it's not kind to talk about, that kind of feeling is close to a kind of curiosity about wild animals.She fed a little food, hoping to see Polina's naive eating and enjoying it.

She extinguished the bonfire and followed the blacksmith. The talkative she met the silent blacksmith, but she couldn't open any conversation.

The dialogue between the two often goes like this.

"Master blacksmith, why do you always look like you are bitter and bitter?"

"Because I really suffer and hate deeply."

"What did you eat today? Which book did you read?"

"Potatoes, didn't look."

"Master blacksmith, listening to your conversation with Ms. N4, don't you mean you are not from this planet?"

"Yes."

The blacksmith always answers questions, and never speaks a word.

Even after asking a lot of things, Polina's understanding of him is limited to that his name is Lioz.

Others are not clear at all, and his hobbies are not clear, nor does he explain where his powerful force comes from. He obviously has this level of strength, so instead of showing off his skills, he stays in Gufeng Village as a blacksmith.

What is he drawing?

Being poor, not rich in materials, not socializing with others, not having a wife and children, living alone in this world.

He has almost no desire for the world, and his views on everything are very cold and realistic.

Of course, the blacksmith still has a lot of advantages, for example, he attaches great importance to promises and is actually very kind at heart.

Polina is not like a blacksmith.

Maybe it's family background, maybe it's because of nature, Polina has a strong curiosity about everything, she is eager to see, see, and act.

They made their way through the forest and returned along the river, which swelled over the beachhead and filled the air with the smell of radioactive material.

The purple night sky hangs high in the clouds, wriggling like flesh and blood, which is proof of the invasion of the void.The shrubs in the stream are covered with raindrops. They need to walk carefully, carefully confirm every step, and tuck in their clothes to avoid exposing their skin and getting raindrops.

The river was turbulent and flooded the basin.

The blacksmith didn't take care of the bad feudal habits of the girls, he turned on the gravity himself and jumped over
Fortunately, Polina is also a typical heroine woman. She does not have the ability of a blacksmith. She knocked down a few big trees by herself, threw the wood into the river, and used it as a floating bridge. She jumped a few times and jumped without any danger. come over.

"Hey! How's it going? Am I smart?"

Polina pinched her waist with both hands, and said flamboyantly,
The blacksmith didn't even look at her, and said:
"Privately building a pontoon bridge is a form of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and will be fined."

"Hey! Why?"

"No reason, don't question, or you'll be next."

The decadent attitude of the blacksmith made Polina puff up her cheeks. She accelerated a few steps to catch up with the blacksmith and walked side by side with him:
"I said, master blacksmith, how desperate are you for this world to become like this?"

"Going to work on a loan, with a monthly salary of [-], and buying a house that occupies a quarter of the shared area, it turned out to be an unfinished building, and the bank couldn't get the money out. I was taught to tell the truth from an early age, and then watched the people who told the truth be beaten to death. I was educated. Studying can change your destiny, but you will be unemployed after graduating, thinking that getting married and having children will change your destiny, but the object claims to be an independent woman. After cheating on the bride price, she gets divorced and takes half of the family property. She is also complained about not having children. People who say that cats poop stink are splashed with hot paint, and children who are forced to eat feces are forced to mediate..."

The blacksmith said flatly:
"Although I haven't experienced these sufferings, I still feel my empathy. They have experienced it, which is equivalent to what I have experienced. Even if I let go of all this, I will still be scolded 'when you understand this piece of human civilization deeply. Saline, you know his thoughts are worthy of his suffering'—though I did nothing, my thoughts are worthy of my suffering."

Polina was silent for a moment, then said:
"But there is always a good place in the world, right?"

"Sunshine can't shine into the ditch of mice. You have been skiing and equestrian since you were a child and sleep ten hours a day. I can only make up for my humble background as a problem writer in a small town with a sweet smile, and I have to be scolded by Mr. Catfish as a leek. "

The blacksmith walked calmly:

"But in the end you will find that all the abuse and clamor doesn't matter, whether you are poor or rich, because only death and tranquility are absolutely fair. In the end, there is nothing but the fate of nothingness."

"But this... is too sad? If everyone is like you, lie down and give up resistance, won't the void completely destroy everything about us?"

"It's fair."

Blacksmith said:
"I didn't lead the way to the void, which is already the expression of my love for the kingdom the most."

Polina fell silent. She always felt weird, but she just couldn't speak.

"Then, uncle, I have a question."

Polina said:

"If everything is destined to be nothingness, what if the void is destroyed one day?"

"It doesn't matter, I have already disappeared at that time. If everything disappears, then there is no meaning. Even nothingness has no meaning. If nothingness is defeated, then be defeated."

The blacksmith's words were hollow, and to Polina's ears, he didn't even want to have an independent soul, as if just living in the world would be a kind of deep suffering and torture for him.

He is indifferent to prosperity, and has no need for material and spiritual. His lofty knowledge and vision, as well as rich experience, have given him a vision beyond this era, and he can see everything at a glance.

Deconstruct, and keep deconstructing.

The so-called friendship is mutual benefit and complementary emotional value.

Marriage is only a contract for the merger of property, and love is only for reproduction.

Groups are only for the division of labor and cooperation. If someone leads, someone will pick shit. As long as there is a group, there will be rank and file.

The cold world view of the blacksmith made Polina feel chills. Those thoughts and spirits that are endowed with humanistic value and great significance have only the coldest and realistic criticism from the blacksmith.

History is meaningless, because no matter who comes to power, history will be distorted, and historians are always written in spring and autumn, mixed with subjectivity. It is even more meaningless to let robots rule humans. Robots disdain to manage such waste as humans.

Constant negation, denial, and nothingness turn the castle on the ground into a cold pile of stones. The glory of civilization is just a deformed flower rooted in suffering and blood. Any grand narrative is a hypocritical and meaningless accident, and love for specific people is even more meaningless. , because that's just for sentimental value...

Polina, who originally wanted to comfort the blacksmith, was instead spread by the blacksmith's nihilism.Almost didn't know what to do.

The blacksmith is numb to everything, and Li Aoz's memory and knowledge will not move him in any way. Even his self has been taken away by the void, and he no longer has the slightest enthusiasm and faith.

After combining Li Oz's realism, he who embraced the emptiness already possessed clear logic and belief. The more Polina communicated with him, the more she understood the emptiness of the blacksmith.

The village is getting closer.

Until the end, Polina didn't know what to do. She kicked the stones on the side of the road, and her emotions finally broke out. She couldn't help complaining:

"Okay, okay! Everything is meaningless—in that case, then, uncle blacksmith, why don't you die now?"

pat.

The blacksmith stopped, and Polina almost bumped into his broad back. She said "Hey" and raised her head to look at him suspiciously:

The blacksmith stretched out his hand and touched the air.

The purple sky is wriggling like flesh and blood, the void is breathing, and the inherent time domain has gradually expanded.

According to Li Oz's memory, then when the inherent time domain is formed, the entire dragon satellite will be incorporated into the territory of the void.

Here they enjoy the rising of the same sun as Zhou Yuanzhong Void Lords and Lords, but they will never be able to step out of here and become a part of the void path forever.

Like the presidential vote, live forever for the whole grand narrative of nihilism.

Narrative civilization never exploits individuals, it only restricts your actions and beliefs, your existence is its most precious value, and the same is true for void as the sixth narrative.

If you do nothing, you are a living stick.

If you are gifted, when you die, you will be incorporated into the grand narrative and become the fundamental force of the expansion of the inherent time domain.

[Use your personal life as a pen and ink to continue writing the glory of the grand narrative. 】

——This is the secret of narrative civilization revealed by Life Commune after research.

Narrative civilization, in this respect, is no different from [society].

Li Aoz will deliberately forget those things because Li Aoz's ambition makes him eager to establish his own grand narrative.

The blacksmith is tired of it all, he hates the struggle, the endless involution, and all this, only the void can bring the end.

Nothing is meaningless, even emptiness is meaningless.

But when Polina asked why he was still alive for all the meaninglessness, the blacksmith was stunned.

He just stretched out his hand and touched the sky.Fragments of memory came to mind.

"……moon."

The blacksmith murmured:
"I promised someone that I would take her to see the moon."

"moon?"

Polina blinked:

"What is the moon...?"

"I haven't seen it. Although I know what it looks like, I don't know how to see it. As you can see, this planet has no moon."

The blacksmith lowered his head, his eyes darkened.

Polina noticed the 'she' in his words, and immediately said insincerely:
"Uncle Blacksmith, you are really a trustworthy person."

"I'm not, I just... want to leave with nothing, that's all."

"In that case, the person who made an agreement with you must be very important to you, right?"

"Dead." The blacksmith said lightly.
