Because the only people who can truly wield that kind of ocean-like power are the masters of the Kingdom of God.

However, the reason why Kirisu Madoka wanted to join the Shinto system was not because of some power as vast as the ocean.

Not to mention, the most prominent figure in the system is now guiding her.

After she joined the Shinto system, she gradually eliminated her suspicion of others and no longer felt like a little white rabbit walking in a dark forest. Although it was probably because she could use some of the spells, she eventually returned to her old life, still clumsily learning to be a good teacher but never being able to get in. Kirisu Miharu, who had seen her true face, would run to her house from time to time to help her with housework, and because she often saw her sister doing some strange rituals and interacting with people like Awashima Seri——

Although Kirisu Miharu is a hopeless sister complex, she also has a good impression of people like Awashima Seri.

So she couldn’t help but be curious about what her sister was doing.

After some investigation, she found that the rituals and doctrines of the religion her sister joined actually overlapped with those mentioned in the game.

So in the end she also joined Ling Wuji’s Shinto system.

There are actually quite a few people like this pair of sisters who join “Penglai” for various reasons. Although most of these people have one thing in common, that is, they have clearly seen the trajectory of the future, but choose to turn a blind eye and want to escape. It cannot be said that these people are not talented, but in essence, Penglai is just a safe haven for them to huddle together for warmth.

Although Ling Wuji did not rule out such consequences.

Anyway, he has already decided to symbolize the existence of Star Lord.

Many people also know that he is the Star Lord, not to mention that the current structure of the Penglai organization is essentially composed of people who obey Ling Wu Ji’s orders and carry out his will. Whether it is Justisia Rizleich von Einzbern, Xiao Zhishu, or anyone else, they cannot conceal this fact, so normal people can see the connection between Ling Wu Ji and the Star Lord at a glance.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why there are so many believers of the Star Lord in Ling Wuji’s organization.

For Shizuka Hiratsuka, it was completely incomprehensible how things had turned out to be in this situation.

So she couldn’t help but want to find Yukinoshita Haruno to complain.

“Actually, I think that when he said that to you, he just wanted you to come to me or Yukino-chan,” Yukinoshita Haruno thought about the boy’s actions in the incident and said, “But he probably didn’t expect that Kirisu-sensei would choose that, right?”

“You mean, he deliberately used the idea of ​​memory modification to offend me?”

“It’s hard to say, because he has used this kind of argument against me before, and he even really wanted to do it.”

“It sounds like he’s a repeat offender…”

Hiratsuka Shizuka said dejectedly.

She couldn’t explain what she was feeling right now.

Perhaps she had become disillusioned with the image of the proud student she had always believed herself to be.

“I think he’s not really so capricious as to modify other people’s memories or anything like that. He’s not that excessive in this regard,” Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head when she saw her expression, “but you should have corrected your impression of him a long time ago. When you learned that he was an arrogant person on the mysterious side, you should have known that he couldn’t be your favorite student, and he wouldn’t be influenced by your words and make you think you’ve become a teacher like Fujino Yanjiurou.”

“why?”

“What do you think is the motivation for a person to learn?”

“Satisfy your curiosity?”

“It would be great if everyone in the world was as simple as you say, Xiaojing.”

Of course, Hiratsuka Shizuka knew that this was just a joke.

Maybe some people really only learn to satisfy their curiosity. After all, “interest is the best teacher.” But for most people in the world, the motivation for learning is not to solve their own doubts, but because they see their own talent in this area. Under the influence of more factors that far exceed curiosity, they force themselves to absorb those knowledge and change their original personal concepts. It can even be said that the experience brought to them by their original behavior patterns is more painful than pleasant, so they want to learn the behavior patterns of others.

As for Ling Wuji as an individual, why should he force himself to change his personal ideas?

Why change his behavior?

Yukinoshita Haruno also nodded, then kept shaking the wine glass in her hand, staring at the amber liquid in it, and said: “Most people study only because the result of learning can give them better living conditions, not because they love knowledge. Didn’t you also say that school is a place for students to adapt to society in advance? What’s more, even Mr. Fujino’s student finally gave up medicine and turned to literature, didn’t he? The great writer originally just wanted to save the declining country, but in the end he found that medicine could not save the country, so he naturally gave up and turned to the path of literature. It is true that Mr. Fujino has a noble character and has a profound influence on that person, but for Lingjun, I have to say something unpleasant, Xiaojing, you are not a model of noble character, right?”

“Actually, I understand what you said.”

Shizuya Hiratsuka stared at the wine glass in his hand and said.

“only?”

“But what I find strange is that, just as you said, he can unscrupulously oppress the world to adapt to him, but why didn’t he do that before?”

“So do you think he could still be saved at that time?” Yukinoshita Haruno said, “But now he has taken the initiative to cut off his contact with others and said that he and you will never meet again in the future. Do you think he is hopeless?”

“That’s not the case…”

Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled bitterly and swallowed the liquid in the glass.

But Yukinoshita Haruno raised her head slightly, looked at the ceiling and thought for a moment, then said: “But this question is actually very interesting…”

“Oh?”

“Xiao Jing, what school do you think he belongs to?”

“school?”

“Political.”

“That kind of big government guy?”

Hiratsuka Shizuka gave the answer based on her own impression. After all, no matter how you look at it, Ling Wuji’s daily words and deeds reveal signs of being deeply influenced.

“No, it seems to me that he might be an anarchist.”

“how is this possible?”

Shizuka Hiratsuka instinctively chose not to believe it.

“Xiao Jing, have you ever read the ancient Chinese book Zhuangzi?”

At this time, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly changed the topic to another direction and said.

“I have a rough idea of ​​it.”

“So you haven’t read it completely?” Yukinoshita Haruno put on a peaceful smile and said, “In fact, the author of that book, Zhuangzi himself, is an anarchist. Of course, it is a bit of a scissorship to apply the standards of later generations to a work written thousands of years ago, but in the chapter “Snatching a Box”, Zhuangzi said, ‘As long as the sages are alive, the thieves will not stop’…”

“From my perspective, Ling Wuji doesn’t look like someone who would admit that this statement is correct.”

It’s not like she hasn’t heard this before.

The saying “As long as saints live, thieves will never stop” means, just as Rousseau said, the progress of human civilization has destroyed the simple and harmonious relationship between people in the natural state. People are becoming smarter, but this intelligence is used to oppress their own kind, just like a child will have evil intentions after reading “Aesop’s Fables”, because the child will only envy the fox who tricked the meat out of the crow’s mouth, instead of sympathizing with the cheated crow. Therefore, the smarter a person is, the greater his contribution to social inequality.

Therefore, killing those “saints” can restore society to its original and harmonious state.

But no disease…

Shizuka Hiratsuka thought carefully about the man’s daily words and deeds, and really couldn’t give that person the impression of an anarchist.

To be honest, he is more like a technology-oriented person who believes that as long as technology continues to develop, all problems can be solved.

“But I don’t think the two conflict with each other.”

In response to Hiratsuka Shizuka’s doubts, Yukinoshita Haruno replied with a rather strange statement.

“how come……”

For a moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka found it difficult to understand why she would say such a thing.

How could the two be consistent?

“Why are they not consistent?” Yukinoshita Haruno still had the same expression. She said to her high school teacher in a leisurely manner, “In my opinion, the ideal society that Zhuangzi’s theory wants to describe is not essentially to destroy the existing etiquette and morality of that era and let everyone return to the life of primitive society, but to educate all individuals to be self-sufficient, that is, ‘it is better to forget each other in the world than to help each other in spite of our differences; it is better to forget each other and change their ways than to praise Yao and criticize Jie’. Human beings live in this turbulent society, just like fish live on dry land. Instead of spitting saliva to support each other, it is better for them to find each other’s world…”

Shizuka Hiratsuka listened with great interest to Yukinoshita Haruno’s theories which were thousands of years old and almost outdated.

For her, it was a very fresh experience whether it was Yang No, who was originally just her student, explaining these theories, or hearing these theories that she had never understood before.

And Yukinoshita Haruno continued: “In order to achieve a state where everyone forgets each other, Zhuangzi at that time could only come up with a criticism of the rites and ethics of the time, and then let people give up those moral standards and return to primitive society. But for you, the advancement of technology is more controllable than returning to primitive society…”

Shizuka Hiratsuka imitated what the boy had done when he chased her away not long ago and clapped her hands softly for Yukinoshita Haruno.

The people around them looked at this strange pair of…sisters with strange eyes. Some people who wanted to run over to chat with them were inevitably defeated by their strange behavior: no matter what, although it is not wrong to discuss philosophical issues in a bar, it is ultimately just a means to attract other people’s attention, and the serious attitude of these two people really makes people want to stay away from them.

“Although I still find it a little weird…”

Of course, neither of them cared about those things. Shizuka Hiratsuka just thought about it for a while and then said.

“What’s so incredible? Don’t you think his ideal society is like that?”

“No, I’m not like you, I’m not with him all the time. Of course, you know his deepest thoughts better, but…”

For a moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn’t tell what the weird feeling was.

“I think what you find incredible is his attitude towards human society, right?” Yukinoshita Haruno took the initiative to reveal the answer, saying, “However, this is a very interesting proposition. If his ideal society is one where everyone is self-sufficient and does not interfere with each other, then he should set an example and should not interfere with this society. But if he interferes with the progress of society, you would think that he is rebelling against his ideal state, right?”

“Ideal state?”

Hiratsuka Shizuka, on the other hand, had some doubts about this word.

Yukinoshita Yangnai pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said: “The emperor of the South Sea is Zhu, the emperor of the North Sea is Hu, and the emperor of the Central Sea is Hun Dun. Zhu and Hu once met in Hun Dun’s land, and Hun Dun treated them very well. Zhu and Hu planned to repay Hun Dun’s kindness, saying: ‘Everyone has seven orifices for seeing, hearing, eating and breathing, but this person has none. Let’s try to drill them.’ They drilled one orifice a day, and after seven days, Hun Dun died.”

“what are you saying?”

After all, Hiratsuka Shizuka was not someone who chose Chinese as her second language like Yukinoshita Haruno, so she naturally couldn’t understand the ancient Chinese that she spoke casually.

“This is a very interesting story. Lingjun seems to admire it very much,” Yukinoshita Haruno explained the fable a little bit, saying, “This story is about Shu and Hu, the emperors of the South Sea and the North Sea respectively. They accidentally met the emperor of the Central Sea, Hun Dun. Hun Dun was very good to Shu and Hu, so Shu and Hu wanted to repay Hun Dun. They said that people have seven orifices to see, hear, speak, and breathe, but Hun Dun did not. So they helped Hun Dun to chisel out the seven orifices, but after the seven orifices were chiseled out, Hun Dun died.”

“It’s a very interesting story…” Hiratsuka Shizuka said, “But what does this have to do with Ling Wuji’s ideal state?”

“Let’s put aside those metaphors. Lingjun’s ideal state is naturally that state of chaos. He won’t make any choices, so there will be no opposition or contradiction. In other words, for him, his ideal society is that everyone can become like that, living in a world where they can’t interfere with each other, and even if they can interfere with each other, it’s a very harmonious world,” Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and looked at her former teacher, and said, “Do you understand, Xiaojing?”

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned and thought for a while, then finally raised her glass and said, “I understand a little bit.”

Then there was an unspeakable silence between the two.

In the end, it was Shizuka Hiratsuka who broke the silence first. She held her forehead, which was starting to hurt, and said, “Come to think of it, what was our initial topic?”

“It seems that there is no topic, Xiaojing, you just want to complain to me,” Yukinoshita Haruno said calmly, “Or, Xiaojing, you don’t want to complain, but you are dissatisfied with Lingjun’s desire to cut off contact with you and sever all ties with you?”

“maybe.”

Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke in a low voice, almost as if talking to herself.

“From my point of view, it’s better not to get too close to that person, okay?”

“What is this? You and he obviously have that kind of relationship!”

Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head: “I don’t know if you still want to correct him, Xiaojing, but in my opinion, maybe he was still hesitant about a part of himself before, but after he went to college, he gave up those uncertainties and chose to accept himself now. Moreover, his interest in this world is gradually fading. Maybe soon, he will become the ideal state of ‘chaos’. At this time, wanting to approach him or even change him is a thankless act, not to mention that I never think you can do it, Xiaojing.”

“But then, doesn’t that mean he’s not interested in you either?”

“Who knows? In the end, I’m just speculating,” Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile, “but you and I are different, Xiaojing. I have already decided to put my life on the gambling table and put all my chips on that person. Even if he is really not interested in me in the end, there will still be traces of him on me, and these traces and influences are my capital in that new era…”

“You’d better be careful with your wording.”

Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a blush, not knowing if it was because she was starting to get drunk or because Yukinoshita Haruno’s words were a little too provocative.

“I think this wording can more appropriately express the close relationship between him and I, even if it became a ‘past’ close relationship at that time!”

Hiratsuka Shizuka just stared at her in a daze.
