He is the Holy Son of the Holy See, but a master of black magic.

It seems to hope to evoke a little fond memory.

Andy, who came to visit, was introduced to the room where he had stayed when he first settled in Kezia's house.

Tatami, lattice windows, bright environment, the sound of gurgling water outside the window is very clear.

In the Zen-like courtyard, the green plant that had been pruned carelessly by the ugly man was still bare.

Compared to the buildings in other parts of York, Andy does prefer the style here.

At the same time, he did not show his face to the Kozia family.

On the contrary, his attitude was as usual and polite. He didn't forget to take off his shoes when he entered the house, which looked very polite.

This is both flattering and somewhat misleading.

Even when the two young men were left alone in the room to talk, the ugly man even winked at the girl.

Make the other person angry.

But she didn't speak because she felt that Andy had become a strange existence.

Just like when I saw him when I returned home after the assessment.

"My mother drank heavily."

From the moment he walked in until now, Andy has seen something.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, he took the initiative to speak while sitting opposite the girl.

"After drinking too much, she would abuse me and say I was a burden, which made her whole life hopeless."

These words stunned the girl who was in an inexplicable mood. She was a little surprised that Andy's life experience was like this.

I was even more surprised that Andy would bring up such a topic of self-inflicted scars.

But whether you admit it or not, this kind of self-deprecating words from a "big man" can always make people feel flattered, and then shorten the distance between the two parties.

"Then, then life must be miserable." She responded dryly, not knowing what to say.

"Yeah, it's miserable." Andy sighed.

"But she never gave up on me as a burden until she died. She spent all her money trying to find ways to treat me. Before she died, she even secretly contacted the scumbag father who abandoned us and begged, hoping that he could continue to take care of me."

The girl was startled when she heard this, and then fell silent.

She was a little unsure about what Andy's words meant.

Is it reminding myself of the importance of family affection? If you lose it, you can never get it back?

Or are you saying that only your family can help you desperately in times of crisis?

Tell yourself not to take yourself too seriously?

Although this is true, but...

Andy actually didn't mean to be a life coach for others, he was just talking about another thing on this topic.

"Why do you think my mother has this attitude?"

What could be the reason for this?

The girl answered without thinking, "Motherly love is innate and is the instinct of all female life."

"Is it really limited to those who are born?"

Andy asked again, "Do those who beat, abuse, and abandon their children have congenital defects?"

Lily was stunned again when she heard this, and then began to ponder.

Because this scene reminded her of the issues Andy mentioned before writing that letter.

Why are housekeepers so easy to deal with?

The question at that time was this, which inspired her a lot.

And now...

“Culture, family atmosphere, schooling, books, etc.”

The girl's tone was much more cautious.

“Indeed, it’s not just nature, but the environment in which you grow up that is also important.”

By the time she finished saying this, she had already somewhat understood, "You mean, some mistakes, the fault does not lie with us, but with the world?"

"Society affects us in all aspects."

Andy agreed: "Newspapers, TV, government agencies, the Internet, and your family, neighbors, colleagues, friends..."

"Every moment, every minute, every second, they are trying to make you believe something and make you do something. The methods they use include but are not limited to persuasion, request, coercion, and inducement. If it doesn't work once, they will do it multiple times. , keep repeating until you are consistent with the public’s concept.”

"Like some magical songs?"

The girl's mind jumped a little, and she suddenly said: "I obviously think it's very unpleasant, but I can't forget it?"

"You could say the same thing."

Andy nodded: "You obviously don't want to be affected, but you can't escape the fate of being affected in the end."

"However, magical music is just the most obvious influence, and it is harmless. But what about those that are not obvious, that are always present in daily life, silently, so that you are not aware of it?"

The girl said nothing when she heard this, but her expression became dazed.

She felt that Andy wanted to tell her that some of the concepts of her parents' generation were formed because the world they lived in was like this.

Without a high-level vision, one is affected all the time, and naturally one cannot escape the fate of being subtly influenced by the surrounding environment.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that she can barely accept the things about her family that once made her feel pessimistic?

After all, it is not them who are wrong, but the world...

"York is a special country."

Seeing the nun's thoughtful look on her face, Andy said from the side: "But what happened here, has it happened anywhere else in the world?"

"Of course."

Lily replied, "It's not that serious, but it's not much better either."

"So, why do you think this is?"

Andy said thoughtfully, "Why is the social atmosphere we see like this?"

Why?

The girl frowned for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "Because of privilege, because of class, because of being extraordinary!"

“The most important thing is transcendence.”

She then added: "There is a clear difference between extraordinary people and ordinary people in the world. They can treat ordinary people unscrupulously, even treating them as livestock."

"This kind of unscrupulous power indulges their words and deeds, constantly breeds evil in their hearts, and their characters become more and more distorted, which ultimately leads to the current trend!"

After saying this, her expression was gloomy and her mood was already a little gloomy.

Just like many young people cannot understand many things in society.

I can't stand it, but I can't change it.

Thinking about this kind of thing, apart from making your mood worse, what else can it do?

"We can't change this now."

As if he could read minds, Andy, who was sitting across from the coffee table, said quietly:

"But if our number increases, more and more, until it reaches a certain level, do you think the world will be changed?"

us?

The girl was stunned when she heard this, then hesitated and said:

"I think this is difficult, right? I mean, trying to change this trend is tantamount to challenging the existing order of the extraordinary class."

"But as an extraordinary person, who would make himself uncomfortable?"

What she actually wanted to say was that there are too few extraordinary people like me who sympathize with ordinary people.

Looking at the entire world, even if there are many, compared to all the extraordinary beings, they are simply a drop in the bucket.

But this sounded like boasting, and she was embarrassed to say it.

"It is indeed difficult for most of the existing extraordinary beings to voluntarily give up their privileges."

Andy nodded in agreement, "But what if we can find a new batch of extraordinary beings?"

"A group of extraordinary beings who have the correct outlook on life, are powerful, and have empathy for ordinary people?"

"You are not afraid of sacrifices and difficulties for your ideals, just like you are now?"

"If we can really find such a group of people, it will certainly be effective."

Lily was a little confused, "But, is this kind of thing possible?"

is it possible?

Andy didn't say anything after hearing this, and just handed the letter to the other party.

The girl took the letter in confusion, opened it and looked a little confused.

"York renovation plan?"

"What does it mean?"

About the book club group.

I haven't established a book club group yet. I'll wait until the update becomes stable after a while, because as long as I establish a group, I will inevitably spend time on the water group...
