Dragon Clan: Undercover at the beginning, the road to conferring the gods

Chapter 52 Despair is the World's Greatest Enemy
"Where is wrong?"

Su Enxi tilted her head in doubt.

Although she doesn't have any emotional experience, she considers herself a master of emotion and thinks her judgment should be fine.

Whether it is emotional factors or profit factors, I have taken it into consideration. If the dignified Dragon King is angry because of a cabbage that has not been raised for a long time, it is against the common sense.

I'm so stupid that I can't live now.

Jiu De Mai also looked over suspiciously. Although she raised this possibility, she did not think too much about it. Su Enxi's words just now convinced her.

"Have you ever heard of the little match girl?"

Zero did not answer directly, but asked a question softly.

"The little match girl? Yes."

Su Enxi nodded. This story is one of Andersen's fairy tales, and it is well known to everyone.

The general idea is a sad story about a little girl who made a living by selling matches, and froze to death on a cold Christmas Eve because the matches could not be sold.

"Does this have anything to do with what I said?"

she asked suspiciously.

Zero shook his head, did not answer her question, but continued to ask.

"Why did she light all the matches at once before she died, instead of using them one by one?"

Hearing this question, Su Enxi and Jiu Toku Mai looked at each other inexplicably.

In the story of "The Little Match Girl", the little girl tried to strike a match to keep warm before she froze to death. Every time she strikes a match, there will be a warm fireplace, roast duck, Christmas tree and all the beautiful things in the world. After the match is extinguished, these things just disappear.

After using three, she saw her dead grandma. In order to prevent her from disappearing, she lit all the matches in one breath, and then followed her to heaven. Someone found her frozen to death the next day.

It's such a simple, unremarkable story.

"Is it because she misses her grandma very much, or because one match is not enough to warm her up, and she feels cold?"

Mai Shutoku expressed his conjecture from both fantasy and physics.

The content of the fairy tale itself is that the little girl is reluctant to part with her grandma, but from a physical point of view, Mai Shutoku thinks that one match is not enough to keep warm. Maybe it is because he feels cold that he used all the matches. Is there anything wrong with this? ?

Hearing Mai Shutoku's answer, Zero didn't comment, but just looked at the two silently.

Su Enxi shook her head, denying Jiu Toku Mai's conjecture.

"No, that's not the case!"

"From a real physical point of view, no matter whether it is a match or a handful of matches, it is not enough to keep warm in the wind and snow, and the little girl at that time may not feel cold... She was frozen to death. The person who really froze to death is dying. The perception may not be normal before."

"People who have been in a state of severe hypothermia for a long time will experience an abnormal expansion of blood vessels, which will lead to a sudden increase in blood vessel flow, and the skin on the surface of the human body will heat up for a short time. Then the hypothalamus will issue wrong instructions, making the brain mistakenly think that the body is very hot, and even make people feel cold. It’s so hot that you take off your clothes, that’s abnormal undressing.”

"Andersen may not understand these scientific knowledge, but he must have seen people who freeze to death. People who freeze to death often have smiles on their faces, because they feel that they are actually warm enough to relax under the judgment of their brains."

"According to the previous description of the story, being able to get warmth from a match proves that the little girl's brain has made a misjudgment. She is already warm enough with only one match, so it is impossible to light all the matches for warmth."

"As for missing grandma, why doesn't she light the matches one by one? This way we can see each other for a longer time. With her misjudgment of her body temperature, she might feel that she can last until tomorrow. At this time, the matches should be hers. The hope of survival should never be wasted like this."

Su Enxi crackled a lot of words.

Mai Tokuku blinked, and after digesting, raised an objection.

"Didn't you say that her perception is abnormal? At that time, she might not be able to maintain her rationality and think so far."

"But what if she really thinks this far?"

Su Enxi asked back.

"Do you still remember that star? She may not know that it is her own death star, but she must know that someone is going to die."

Before the little girl struck the third match, she saw a shooting star flashing in the sky, and remembered that her grandma had told her that it was a sign that someone was about to die.

"But what does that have to do with her lighting all the matches?" Mai Shutoku asked puzzled.

"She probably knows that people are going to die. In her mind, she may think that she can save the matches one by one until the sun comes out tomorrow, but she didn't do that. In the end, she chose a stud and used all the matches. It's clean."

Su Enxi looked straight into Jiu De Mai's eyes.

"If this is the case, then she was not frozen to death. Before being frozen to death, she chose to commit suicide. The way to commit suicide was to exhaust all her hopes in one breath."

"..."

Jiu De Mai was dumb for a moment.

"But why did she do this? According to you, even though it was a misjudgment, she should also feel that she can survive until tomorrow in the hallucination. Why did she give up?"

"Because of despair!"

Su Enxi said in a low voice.

"The boss said that despair is the greatest enemy in the world. The little girl no longer believes in any future, so there is no need to keep hope. She no longer believes in tomorrow."

Zero quietly nodded, indicating that this is what he wanted to say.

There was a long silence in the room, as if a silent bell was slowly echoing.

After half an hour.

Jiu Toku Mai finally came back to his senses, and shivered slightly.

"So, what you guys mean is that Xiao Longnu will really destroy the world for Xiaobaicai?"

She finally understood what they meant.

Under the framework of reason, Su Enxi came to a conclusion based on the consideration of emotions and interests, thinking that Xia Mi would not spend a lot of time for the family, but Zero overturned her theory.

If the existence of Xiaobaicai is the third match, or the last straw that overwhelms the camel, even if he does not have a deep relationship with the Dragon King, it is very likely to cause the Dragon King to fall into despair.

The Dragon King in despair doesn't care about the hope of revival, no matter the blood relatives around him or what, they will all turn into flames and burn together. For dragons, complete destruction is not an ending that they never thought of.

"No, my previous theory has not been completely overthrown, it's just a very small possibility."

Su Enxi shook her head.

"Sanwuniu's guess does have a theoretical basis, but it is basically a small probability event. After all, no one knows which match is the little cabbage."

"However, our task is to avoid this small probability event, so we must pay more attention to Xiaobaicai these days, and avoid his accident without exposing us, so we must—"

Su Enxi is about to say the measures to strengthen the defense.

Suddenly, Zero's slightly surprised voice sounded, interrupting her directly.

"The target has an accident!"

Su Enxi and Jiu De Mai suddenly rushed over, looking extremely nervous.

……

Room 15, Unit 201.

Xia Mi, who was chatting on the forum, always had hidden worries in his heart for some reason.

The monster mentioned by [Account Maid] made her feel a little uneasy.

It stands to reason that this kind of monster should not appear in this city, but she did find similar rumors on the Internet. Although it is only a few words, it is full of details. It does not look like a normal animal, but a monster mixed with dragon blood.

After thinking about it, she couldn't let go of her worry after all. She picked up her phone and wanted to ask where Su Mo was.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and it was Su Mo calling.

I have just left for such a short while, what is so important that I need to call myself immediately, and I can't say it tomorrow?
Is it—

Xia Mi's pupils shrank suddenly, and the ominous premonition in his heart was pulled to the highest level.

She answered the phone immediately, her hand was already on the doorknob, and she could break through the door at any time.

"Why, what happened?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Xia Mi asked about the specific situation very quickly and nervously.

Then, she heard Su Mo's slightly nervous and trembling voice.

"I tell you one thing, you must not be afraid."

"Don't worry, I'm the Dragon King, I won't be afraid!"

Xia Mi responded quickly, with a firm mind in his mind, and rushed out the door.

"Needless to say, where are you, I'll go right away!"

As a reliable boss, she never complained.

She said in the forum just now that she will kill anyone who dares to touch her cabbage!
The golden pupils in the girl's eyes shone ferociously, and the power of the Dragon King made Ming Chan shut up throughout the summer.
