Chapter 202 Jiang Yichuan's Philosophy of Life
Although Sylvie was covered in blood, her steps were calm and there was a faint smile on her face.
Frankly speaking, Su Ming didn't understand why the minister could still laugh. He suspected that the minister might have made a deal with some smiling devil. The price was that he had to smile all the time. If he didn't smile for 16 hours a day, he would suddenly die or something.
Well, if you think about it carefully, this idea seems to make sense!
Su Ming suddenly became more energetic. He thought that Sylvie didn't smile all day long, so she couldn't smile for 16 hours a day, so she worked overtime all day long.
This explanation makes sense. The minister signed a contract with the smiling devil! Su Ming thought about it without thinking.
Jiang Yichuang was breathing heavily and wiping the samurai sword in his hand with the corner of his shirt. He saw Arthur and Liu Feiyun sitting opposite him, then turned and walked towards Su Ming.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Jiang Yichuan patted Su Ming's shoulder and sat down on his left side.
"Captain, are they all resolved? Are they strong?"
"They are still quite strong. Even the Eye of Charm is useless. Fortunately, they don't use Alienation to create supernatural armor." Jiang Yichuan adjusted his breathing and said, "Don't take the matter of massacring the village to heart. Someone has to do it. If you don't do it, I will... It makes no difference."
Su Ming glanced at Jiang Yichuan with complicated eyes and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Captain, you rarely comfort others, right?"
"No, I am very good at comforting others because I always speak reasonably and don't say useless superficial words. If you do something wrong, it is wrong, and if you do something right, it is right. For example, what you just did, Xiao Ming, was right." Jiang Yichuang said seriously.
Su Ming was silent. He was sure that Jiang Yichuan would never comfort anyone.
"Captain... have you ever encountered anything like this before?"
"I often encounter them." Jiang Yichuan said without hesitation. He turned to look at Su Ming and asked seriously, "Want to hear them? I can tell you a few."
This is ridiculous, this guy doesn’t even know how to chat, Su Ming thought.
He shook his head, rejecting Jiang Yichuang's personal testimony, and the atmosphere fell into a strange silence again.
After a few minutes, Jiang Yichuan suddenly spoke again: "Let me tell you an example . I have encountered such a thing. When I was on a mission before, I met a child in the range of the weird influence. The situation was very dangerous at the time. To sum up, if we save the child, we will most likely die.
Then someone in our team risked his life to rescue the child, and ran all the way with the child. In the end, I was the only one who survived.
I will omit the process in between as there is nothing much to talk about. I can focus on telling you what happens after the task is completed.
In that mission, a total of five people in the entire team died, the monster was not eliminated, and our only achievement was rescuing the child.
The incident was widely reported and received positive reviews from the general public. Everyone was praising the five dead commissioners. I also think that this incident has great positive significance. It may seem like a loss to sacrifice five lives in exchange for one child, but I think the spiritual and social impact this incident has brought is enormous.
I think that's a good thing to do. It's a great thing for the strong to sacrifice for the weak."
"Captain, what you did is different from what I just did, right?"
"Yes, I haven't mentioned this yet. The difference between what you just said and what I'm talking about is whether the rescue action will have a negative impact. Five commissioners died to save a child, which is just saving a child.
But if you allow the white fog to continue to exist in order to keep these people in the village alive, more people will die."
Hearing this, Su Ming felt that he understood what Jiang Yichuan meant.
Jiang Yichuan did not try to hide his thoughts. He directly pointed out the final conclusion: "If you want to protect something, you have to see if it is harmful. Even if it is innocent, if it is harmful, it should be destroyed. If it is harmless, then you can save it at all costs.
You did nothing wrong by not killing those children in the Black Gate, but you would be wrong if you refused to kill these villagers here.
Every decision made by the investigator must represent many ordinary people. You can't just think that you can die to save him and then sacrifice your life to save him. You have to think about whether your actions will harm others.
Only when you figure this out can you be considered a true investigation commissioner, otherwise you are just an employee who works in the investigation bureau to make money and get by."
Su Ming lowered his head, thinking that this was really a common sense.
Jiang Yichuan glanced at Su Ming, paused, and then added: "What I just said is the truth under normal circumstances. Just listen to it. It only represents my general opinion. The advantage is that you will not be scolded after doing things for you, and it makes your daily life relatively comfortable.
Now, I want to talk about another point of view, which is also my principle of life: If you encounter something that you want to do no matter what, even if it means giving up your life, then you can ignore all the rules I just talked about and just treat them as farts.
You have to do whatever it takes to do what you want to do... provided you are ready to die."
Su Ming raised his head and looked at Jiang Yichuan in surprise.
Those words just now were not something a social animal like him would say. They did not match the image of him in Su Ming's mind.
The first principle Jiang Yichuan mentioned is very consistent with his image as a corporate slave. That principle demonstrates a high level of sense of responsibility and mission, and it radiates the brilliance of rationality. Every detail proves that he has been brainwashed by noble professional ethics.
But the point he just made, every word is rebellious, every stroke is full of rebellious temperament, just like the teacher who was still advising you to study hard a second ago, suddenly said to you "Studying is important, but if you are willing to die on a woman's belly, then go to hell with studying! You have to be brave and go to health care!"
This feeling...how should I put it, it sounds quite satisfying. Su Ming thought that maybe he thought so too.
In any case, those words just now really made Su Ming feel much better.
Su Ming asked himself that it was absolutely impossible for him to die for these villagers, so it was reasonable for him to follow Jiang Yichuan's first point.
"Captain, you are awesome." Su Ming exclaimed sincerely.
Jiang Yichuan lowered his head, then raised it again and said silently: "Just listen to what he said just now, don't tell the minister, otherwise you will not be able to escape the 30,000-word inspection report."
Flora: “…”
Su Ming: “…”
Sylvie came out of the house opposite. She had changed out of her bloodstained clothes and put on new ones.
"Everyone come here, it's time for us to go to the next place." Sylvie said loudly.
Su Ming stood up with his hands on the ground and shouted loudly: "Xia Xiaoyu!"
He didn't know where Xia Xiaoyu had gone, but it would be bad if they left and Xia Xiaoyu didn't follow them.
"I'm here." Xia Xiaoyu walked out from the dark shadow holding Alice.
She looked at Su Ming anxiously, and was slightly relieved when she found that Su Ming looked normal.
"Where did you go?"
"If you want to do something like that, I can't let Alice stay nearby, so I'll go somewhere far away and come over when you're done." Xia Xiaoyu said.
Su Ming was startled: "You have been watching?"
"Yeah." Xia Xiaoyu nodded slightly, staring at Su Ming with concern, "Are you okay? This kind of thing is actually not that bad. Compared with what I did before, it's nothing . You don't have to take it to heart... uh, I mean it, you really don't have to take it to heart." She emphasized it at the end.
Su Ming glanced at the other person, forced a smile, and shrugged: "It's okay."
Everyone gathered together and Sylvie began to give orders.
"Each of you hold your horses and follow me to a place."
…
Under the leadership of Sylvie, Su Ming and others galloped all the way, climbing over several hills and passing through the woods.
Su Ming was already very good at riding horses. This was clearly his first time riding a horse, but it seemed as if he had been practicing for a long time. Perhaps it was because he and Xia Xiaoyu had sat on horses many times, so he gradually got used to it. Or maybe he was instinctively good at riding this kind of animal, just like he knew how to use a rifle and a scalpel from the beginning. He just hadn't tried it before, so he didn't know.
The only thing that made people uncomfortable was Alice sitting in the front. She was supposed to ride on the same horse with Xia Xiaoyu because Xia Xiaoyu's riding skills were better, but Alice's occasional willfulness made Su Ming unable to bear to refuse.
After passing through the woods, they stopped at the back of a high ground. The high ground was bare, and behind it was a sloping hillside. Above it was the woods they had passed through not long ago. Standing here and looking back, Su Ming realized how dark the woods they had just passed through were.
Standing outside and looking at the woods, it felt like it would be extremely difficult to pass through on horseback. However, Su Ming had not felt any difficulty passing through the woods just now. He did not feel it was dark, but only felt the mottled moonlight constantly moving by his side.
At this moment, Su Ming found himself in a strange state, his mind was clear and calm. After slaughtering the villagers, he experienced brief auditory hallucinations, but after that temporary drowsiness, his five senses became sharper than ever before.
"Okay, stop here." Sylvie, who was in the front, gave the order. She turned around and dismounted, patted the horse's neck gently, smiled, and then called Isabella.
As soon as Isabella came out of the dark bushes, she was asked to go back and get the telescope.
"Alice, come down." Su Ming also got off the horse, put his hands under Alice's armpits, and carried her down.
"Dad, I'm sleepy." Alice muttered , her eyelids trembling.
For children, it is indeed time to go to bed.
Su Ming carried Alice on his back and waited for Sylvie's next order.
