don't die

No one is willing to admit that he is a coward, even Lin Shen is no exception.

When Heye asked him that, he immediately stared back with raised eyebrows, which made Heye burst out laughing.

Lin Shen was upset.

"A person who gives up his life casually, is he qualified to say that he is not cowardly?"

His words were criticizing He Ye's fallacies, but they didn't get the desired effect.He Ye shook his head with a smile, looking at him like he was looking at a vexatious child.

"That's not what it says. Do you know what people are greedy for? That is life. Those who can give up their lives to realize their ideals, we all call them heroes and great men! But with suicide Aren’t those who end their lives in such a way as to use their lives to realize their ideals?”

There was a sneer on the corner of He Ye's mouth.

"I don't understand this point. Why are suicides discriminated against and considered cowardly?"

"Because their suicide will cause distress to those around them."

"Oh, don't those so-called heroes shed their blood and die vigorously, so he won't cause trouble to his relatives?" Heye sneered: "They have realized their false self-worth, but they don't care about their family's feelings. , in the end, it is the entire society that benefits from their sacrifices, not their family members. So of course most people as part of society applaud because they have enjoyed the benefits."

Lin Shen couldn't react. According to He Ye's logic, those tragic heroes who have been passed down through the ages, those moral models who sacrificed themselves for others, are they all just for some kind of self-satisfaction, and the biggest vested interests-this society, is actually in the world. Use their death to develop?

This sounds a bit shocking.

But Lin Shen is not easy to be fooled, he quickly found the loophole in He Ye's words.

"Your analogy is not correct. The death of those who sacrificed themselves for the sake of duty at least brought progress in a certain aspect. The death of suicides will only bring turmoil to society. Since people rely on society What's wrong with sacrificing small individuals for the sake of the larger environment for survival of the base?"

"sacrifice?"

He Ye sneered, "Okay, then let me ask you, if you were asked to sacrifice for a certain group around you, would you be willing?"

Lin Shen was stunned by this question, sacrificed for a certain collective benefit?him?

For whom, the townspeople?But how do they view themselves on weekdays, how many sarcastic remarks, even if one day they really sacrifice their lives because of protecting them, those people probably won't take it seriously.

Lin Shen replied quickly: "I can't do it, I'm not that kind of great person."

"Yeah, you can't do it. In fact, many people can't give up their lives, but there are two kinds of people who do, one is the 'great man' in your mouth, and the other is the suicide. They achieve their goals The means are the same, and they are willing to sacrifice their own lives, but the treatment they receive is very different. Why? Just because the death of a "great man" can bring benefits to most people, but the death of a "suicide" cannot bring benefits. benefit them."

He Ye said: "You are right in saying that it is not the majority of people who benefit from the death of suicides, that's why society rejects them. If one day, someone's suicide can make the world progress and be remembered by history, you Say, how many people will line up behind him and urge him to die quickly?"

"Hehe, isn't the value of this world interesting?" He Ye blinked his eyes and said jokingly. "Why are there so many differences between the life and death of one person and the life and death of different people? The matter of death has different results for everyone, and you will never get tired of it."

Lin Shen felt a chill gradually rising from his back, because he found that he had no intention of refuting at all, but began to agree with He Ye a little bit.In fact, from the very beginning, his rebuttal was weak and untenable.Ever since he agreed that the interests of the majority can be sacrificed to a small number of people, Lin Shen has no position in this discussion of death.

He gave up the lives of those few.This also recognizes that when necessary, some people's lives can be ended in exchange for the overall benefit.Looking at it from another perspective, is it any different from those suicides who gave up their lives for selfish desires and emotions?

No, big difference!Most people give up the lives of others in exchange for their own benefits.And those who committed suicide gave up their own lives in exchange for... just some slim hope and their own despair.

From this point of view, this theory of sacrifice is a hundred times crueler than the suicide of a suicide.

Realizing that something was wrong with him, Lin Shen quickly stood up.

"Hey, are you going back?"

He didn't answer, but He Ye behind him was still persistently asking: "It's a pleasure chatting with you, come tomorrow, I'll wait for you here!"

As if running away from a devil, Lin Shen hurriedly left the stream, and the moment he got out of the woods, he looked back.

A white figure was sitting by the stream, not forgetting to wave goodbye to him.

Lin Shen ordered himself to look away and leave.And the thoughts that lingered in his mind lingered like a shadow.

What exactly is death?

Who is qualified to judge whether a person should die, is he himself?If not, who else is eligible?

Lin Shen left in a hurry, his back seemed to be in a panic.The dense branches extending from the side of the road seemed to be laughing at his shaking, swaying, swaying.

As expected, He Tun saw Yu Yue again the next day. This guy's persistence was to not give up until he reached his goal.And today, it just so happened that Lin Shen also went out early in the morning, which also gave him a chance to continue pestering.

"How long are you going to sit here?"

He satirized looked at him, frowning. "To tell you clearly, I have to go out to patrol the forest later, and I don't have time to chat with you."

"Patrolling the forest?" Yu Yue was stunned.

"My job! My brother, who has a lot of tasks to do every day, is not as leisurely as you."

"You still come out to work?" Yu Yue's eyes widened and became rounder, "I thought you were just kidding me online."

"I'm such an adult, I have to support myself."

He Tun rolled his eyes and pushed the courtyard door out. "You have to sit here for a long time and continue to sit, I'm going to work."

"Hey, wait!"

Yu Yue looked at his back and hurriedly chased after him.Out of curiosity about his job, and even more curious about how he could find a job in this barren mountain and wild forest, Yu Yue followed.And today's forest patrol has just begun.

When Lin Shen stepped into the woods near the creek, there was a voice full of surprise.

"You really came."

He Ye was sitting on the rock yesterday, waving at him, seeing the same posture as yesterday, Lin Shen had every reason to wonder if this guy stayed here all night and didn't leave.

Before he had time to ask questions, He Ye saw the clothes on his body and the bag he was carrying, so he asked.

"Aren't you going where you're supposed to go?"

Lin Shen replied indifferently: "There is no place I should go."

"Hehe." He Ye laughed, "You answered me like that, and let me see my former self."

He threw a stone into the water, but it didn't float.

"I used to always have doubts. Sometimes when I think about it deeply, I think I'm crazy."

"What do you suspect?" Lin Shen asked.

"No one recognizes me, no one recognizes me, and everyone around me denies the value of my existence." Heye said indifferently, as if talking about something that is insignificant to others. "I have to say that it was a very troublesome thing during the growing period. No matter what you do, you will not be praised. If you do a little badly, you will be poked in the back. Even if you work hard, no one will care. They all You're waiting to see me laugh."

"At that time, I thought, whether I was wrong or the people around me were wrong, but then I found it ridiculous to think so."

Heye said: "Compared to entanglement about who is right and who is wrong, it is me and the surrounding environment that are incompatible. After thinking about it, I found that this is an unsolvable problem. Because the power of one person cannot change the environment, I grow The current general environment has rejected me for more than [-] years, and will continue to reject me for a longer time."

"No one cares, no one understands, being ignored like air, living like a captive animal. I finally figured it out, since I can't change the people around me, there is only one thing I can do." He Ye said: "At the very least, I still have the right to decide to eliminate my existence."

"...You are trying to commit suicide."

"Bingo! Guessed correctly, ten rewards!" He Ye looked at him with a smile, not at all embarrassed by his attempt.

"Of course, I hope you don't use the word suicide to describe it." He Ye corrected: "I just chose the best way to realize my ideal, and I am tired from fighting with them, but I don't want to admit defeat. A good method appears in front of me, why don't I implement it?"

"Ah, of course, I'm not one of those 'great men'. Not many people in this world will benefit from my death." Lin Shen: "When a person dies, he has nothing left."

"It doesn't matter." He Ye laughed again, but this time the smile felt hollow, like a blank sheet of paper. "Anyway, I still have nothing so far. It's okay if this life ends sooner. Rather, it's a bet I made."

"bet?"

"Yeah, how will my death react to the people around me? Do they regret that they didn't watch me, or do they feel relieved, or feel angry that they disrupted their original arrangements? Curious about this." He Ye said: "And death is too tempting for me, I can't help but want to try it, of course, I understand that there is no return ticket for it. But it doesn't matter..."

"Anyway, it's meaningless to live now. Happiness is in the future, will it be better in the future?" He Ye narrowed his eyes, the dark eyes were like an abyss that could swallow people. "I don't believe it at all."

Death is the most honest and most credible. Compared with the false smiles and perfunctory intentions of the people around you, wouldn't it make people feel happy to embrace this truth?

"And you, do you want to try it together?"

Lin Shen was startled and looked at him in disbelief.

"I'm not joking."

He Ye smiled and held out his hand to him.

"Because I understand that you are the same person as me. Not being understood, being rejected by others, being out of tune with the surroundings, and being looked at with strange eyes. How long do you want to live like this?"

"Do you want to try it with me?" He Ye bewitched, lowered his voice and said, "It's not always said that death is the best gift God bestows on human beings, what do you think?"

Lin Shen stared at him closely, his pupils constricted slightly.

He looked at He Ye's face with a too bright smile, and felt a little dazzled for a moment.Countless faces flashed past his eyes, but all of them were blurred and unreal, but those mocking laughter and contemptuous gazes were always so clear.Has he really felt happy in such a life?has no meaning?

Most people are afraid of death, but Heye seems to be enjoying death, so what about me?

Lin Shen asked himself, living a life so oppressive that he couldn't breathe every day, desperately protecting those who looked down on him at all, is it necessary to continue such a life?

If death is truly a gift from God.

He looked at He Ye and thought, then the person in front of him is the messenger who handed him the gift.

In other words, the devil who opened Pandora's box.

Lin Shen stretched out his hand.

The dream came back to his mind, a nightmare he had every night.

Boom--!

There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and He Teng, who was walking on the road, raised his head suspiciously.

"It is going to rain?"

What answered him was the sudden rainstorm.
