Chapter 105 Liu Yufei: The Complexity of Human Nature

Liu Yufei is human, not a god. He doesn't have that kind of compassion. And even if he were a god, he couldn't save this desolate land on the verge of destruction. It's not that people in this world haven't tried to create gods before; isn't the Giant Warrior the best proof? Gods did bring rebirth, but what was the price?

Similarly, Liu Yufei knew that he could not bring peace to any world, only power, and power could only be destroyed by desire.

That's why Liu Yufei can't interfere with anything, because he doesn't want to get involved in this cause and effect.

At the same time, as mentioned before, Liu Yufei is a human being; he has a hypocritical side, just like when he made Xida choose. Does Liu Yufei want the crystal stone from Sky City?

Of course he wanted it, but Liu Yufei couldn't bring himself to steal it by trickery. Just like with the Qilin beast before, Liu Yufei also coveted this power, but he was hypocritical!

Hypocritical conscience. I'm not a bad person. They did everything. Even without me, things would have turned out this way. I just went with the flow and got what I wanted.

Does Sheeta's choice matter? Of course it matters to Liu Yufei, so he will use rhetoric to force Sheeta to make a choice, so that she can destroy Laputa with her own hands, and only then can Liu Yufei obtain the Flying Stone Crystal with a clear conscience.

This time was no different. Liu Yufei would instinctively try to save these children, but then what? Liu Yufei felt somewhat lost!

It is also because of the inherent hypocrisy of human nature that children and soldiers are both human beings, and in terms of the right to life, they are equal. However, Liu Yufei can ignore the deaths of these soldiers, but he cannot ignore the deaths of these children.

Because in Liu Yufei's mind, these people were just NPCs, and their survival or demise was irrelevant to him. But Liu Yufei still took action in the end! He saved these people who were outside the main storyline.

But because he took action, Liu Yufei's identity suddenly changed from outside the game to inside the game, and the deaths of these soldiers were now related to Liu Yufei!

To put it bluntly, it's about self-identification. Human nature is so complex; we instinctively gravitate towards the weak.

For example, if you see a pickpocket stealing someone's wallet, you most likely won't say anything. Even if you don't want to, you'll tacitly accept it because you don't want to get involved in the cause and effect of this matter.

Of course, you would "kindly" remind the victim after the theft is over, but if the victim is deaf and mute, no matter what the situation is, your previous indifference means you also bear some responsibility!

Legally speaking, you are still not liable, but morally speaking, you are also the perpetrator!

That's human nature. It depends on your perspective. As for the former, we instinctively believe that he should be responsible for his own fate.

Liu Yufei is just an ordinary person. He admits he felt compassion, but he needs to convince himself, to find an excuse, to deliberately categorize these people, who are essentially the same, into two different kinds.

This allows Liu Yufei to remain indifferent to the former scenario. This is where Liu Yufei's monstrous nature lies: forcing San in Princess Mononoke, forcing Sheeta in Castle in the Sky, and now forcing Rastael!

But in forcing them, aren't they also forcing themselves? Liu Yufei isn't entirely corrupt; he has always given them the initiative.

San chose to let go of hatred, Sheeta chose to let go of ideals and power, and Rastilde also chose to give up hatred!

These people from Dorumechia were the culprits who destroyed her beautiful home, yet she still chose to rescue these children. They all chose to put aside their hatred, all for a better tomorrow.

“Sylvie, these children…”

Seeing the children floating in the air, no longer falling, Sivir immediately understood, but still said:

"Be careful, the childcare robot is coming soon!!"

Laputa's new generation of robots are equipped with mechanical stealth systems, so even the enormous robots flying in the air did not attract attention here.

Asbel, who had been communicating with Nausicaä using his mental powers, suddenly snapped back to reality, but the anti-submarine ship was already upon him.

"Baka, die!!"

Asbel could tell that the damned princess was hiding inside, so even in the face of overwhelming artillery fire, Asbel showed no fear and charged towards the vanguard through the flames.

Da da da...

boom...

After firing a burst of bullets, the red gunboat finally succumbed to the flames, and the wreckage of the aircraft plummeted downwards. Inside the main ship, blood flowed like a river; it was a close call.

"Your Highness!! Your subordinate... has failed in his duty... can no longer... can no longer protect... Your Highness!"

After the guard finished speaking, there was no sound. It turned out that when Asbel's gunboat opened fire in this direction, the soldiers around Kushana immediately formed a defensive barrier for her with their own bodies.

Kushana gazed silently at the lifeless captain of the guard. This was not her first captain of the guard; the previous ones had also sacrificed themselves to protect her.

"I will never forget this loyalty!!"

His eyes immediately fell silent. Crotova was incredibly lucky; despite the horrific scene, he was unharmed. Looking at the corpses around him, there was no fear on his face; in fact, he seemed somewhat smug that death had come a step slower than him.

"Your Highness, the losses are extremely heavy. Shall we cease operations and retreat for now?"

This was undoubtedly the right choice, but Kushana stood up with a cold expression, her eyes unusually resolute as she said sharply:

"Reorganize the army and continue south according to the original plan. When we reach the camp, we will hold a memorial service for these fallen soldiers!"

After saying that, he pulled down the visor on his helmet with his right hand.

"Follow orders!!"

As he spoke, Crotova glanced sideways at Kushana, wondering to himself:

"Is she crying?!"

Nausicaä may have truly shed tears. A woman's tears are not always for herself. Of course, she would hide this cowardly act very well, because her mother had taught her from a young age that everyone has the right to cry, but not everyone has the right to let others see them cry.

Unlike Kushana's labor pains, this person was crying their heart out.

"elder brother..."

Seeing the explosion in the sky, Rasdale immediately shouted, and her mech flew towards that direction.

"Lasdel..."

At this point, Rasdale was no longer listening to anything. Fortunately, the baby care robot that Rasdale was riding was under her management, so Rasdale's robot stopped before it had flown very far!

"Lasdale, as a nanny robot, I have no authority to wage war against any force. I'm sorry! Please take a nap first!"

"Sylvia, you can't..."

As a burst of spray came out of the mech, Rasdale immediately gave up struggling for food, while the other childcare robots quickly rescued the robot floating in the air.

Because they were all invisible, they did not attract the attention of others.

Meanwhile, below, Nausicaä's transport ship finally landed on a flat area.

"Grandpa Mitt, quickly tie the cargo ship up! We can't stay here any longer!"

The Sea of ​​Decay is a forbidden zone for humans; not staying there for even a second longer is seen as fraught with danger.

"Your Highness, don't worry, we... Ah! Princess, be careful, something's coming up from below!!"

They were anchored on the water's surface, and they could already sense the surging beneath the surface. They grabbed their weapons and became alert.

"It's over, it's a Queen Insect!!!"

Countless green eyes emitted beams of light like flashlights, instantly illuminating the dim water surface. Upon seeing this, Nausicaä shouted:

"Everyone, don't act rashly, calm down, let me handle this..."

"Your Highness..."

"Grandpa Mitt..."

Nausicaä made a shushing gesture, for at that moment, the Ohmu's golden tentacles had already probed out! Nausicaä immediately opened her arms, and the Ohmu's tentacles reached out towards her, quickly enveloping Nausicaä completely.

"Your Highness..."

This terrified the old men, and Mitt managed to restrain the man, preventing the others from causing trouble. However, Mitt also had flashbangs ready.

Fortunately, not long after, the golden tentacles slowly loosened, revealing Nausicaä inside with her eyes closed, safe and sound. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is amazing, it's like a dream! They managed to calm the Queen Mushroom without even using a flashbang!"

At this moment, Nausicaä was as if in a dream. On a golden field, in front of her was a giant Ohmu, whose countless eyes reflected Nausicaä's image.

Nausicaä was also somewhat excited, her lips trembling slightly, but in the end, she said nothing. The two foremost legs of the King Worm slowly rose, but ultimately did not take that step.

Then, with a slow movement of its feet, its massive body turned its back.

"Arnold..."

Watching the Ohmu depart into the distance, Nausicaä wanted to ask, but ultimately didn't, because she already had the answer in her heart.

The thoughts of the King Insects are interconnected, and the King Insect in front of them is clearly the one that Nausicaä rescued back then.

The reunion of long-lost friends should have been a touching scene, but both knew that due to their species, they could only bury this friendship deep in their hearts.

Being able to meet again despite being separated by thousands of miles is the greatest comfort! Humans and the Sea of ​​Decay are destined to be unable to coexist, so the relationship between the two, or between a human and an insect, is much more complicated than that between Ashitaka and San.

Just like when I meet my childhood friends again, our different life paths have long since shaped our different destinies, and we have even gone our separate ways and served different masters. So, in addition to joy, there is bound to be some awkwardness when we meet again!

Instead of exchanging words, it's better to smile at each other and leave the beautiful memories of the past, because not everyone is Runtu, and not everyone can call him "Master"!

It was Runtu's address of "Master" that caused Xun Ge so much regret.

Therefore, it's better to cherish the memory than to meet again; that's the best course of action. And so, Ohmu quietly departed, and Nausicaä tacitly refrained from pursuing him.
