Cyber Heroes

What Yuki didn't know was that this kind of thing had actually happened many times in history.

The beasts that hurt people, the unintelligent natural disasters, and even the bullies who caused trouble are remembered in various forms. Perhaps at the beginning, it was just the parents who wanted to use stories to teach their children a "lesson", but soon the custom will form, then transform and become sacred.

I don’t know how many gods and saints in the minds of future generations were actually just murderers and arsonists during their lifetimes.

This has happened many times before and is happening now.

"But..." Yuki pointed to the stick stuck at the entrance of the town, "Why would they show respect to that stick?"

"At the beginning, maybe I just wanted to use this thing to scare some green forests from other places." Six Days thought: "Starting three years ago, the local green forests were shaved over and over again in the battle between the government and the knights. It has long been unable to make any waves... Maybe they feel that the effect of this stick is quite obvious, and they have developed a respect for this stick?"

Youki was stunned: "How is this possible? The owner of this stick was beaten to death in front of them! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Ah!" Liuri pointed at Yuki, "Sure enough, at this time you..."

"What?" Han Zhun was the only one here. "What are you talking about? Silver transmission shaft Leif? Isn't that a famous green forest tycoon? He was killed three years ago? No wonder he went to look at the wanted list When there was no one... How do you know it so well? You are indeed knights!"

Now that Liu Ri realized that "the unknown senior killed the silver transmission shaft Leif", he was satisfied. In his mind, the unknown senior was a great hero, a great hero, a great knight, and a great master who could kill even the Moon Rangers with ease. It was not surprising to kill someone on the Tiger List. He just knew a little bit about this senior's past.

He said to Yuki: "People will selectively forget this kind of thing. You have to know that there is always a deep-rooted illusion in the human heart, called 'everything is connected', and 'this connection must be Based on one and the same truth'."

Yuki couldn't believe it. In fact, Xiang Shan also said similar things to him. However, Xiangshan’s evaluation at the time was, “Human beings have created a scientific paradigm based on such nihilistic delusions. If you think about it carefully, it’s quite remarkable.”

But if you think about it carefully, this is probably the more common form of this "empty delusion".

Human beings often connect two unrelated things and think that "they are mysteriously connected", and then write down this pattern and never forget it.

Sometimes, two different things that people think are related may actually be directly related, or they may be different "effects" of the same "cause", and there is such an indirect connection between the two. (For example, "the incidence of malaria is high in a certain area" and "the incidence of diabetes is low in this area", both are the result of "poverty", not "malaria can cure/alleviate diabetes".)

But more often than not, different things that are thought to be related may really not have even an indirect connection and are just coincidences.

For example, concepts such as "lucky colors".

But human beings inevitably like to seek an explanation for things that they cannot understand at the moment.

Some scientific research knights believe that in ancient times, individuals who could quickly connect the "rustling in the grass" with "the approach of a top carnivorous big cat" would have a greater competitive advantage under the natural selection of evolution.

People in this town feel that since the stick was inserted at the entrance of the town, there have been less green forests.

They didn't know about the turbulent situation in the world in the past three years, they didn't know about Duke Xinglin, and they didn't know that King Agni had damaged the Rangers.

In their view, "sticks are stuck" and "there are fewer green forests" are two related things.

So, they respected the stick.

As for "the previous owner of that stick was beaten to death", it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

It is not that difficult for a person to have two contradictory beliefs in his mind at the same time and to accept both.

Just don't think too much.

But Yuki is a man who loves to think too much. He couldn't accept it at all.

"Why?" he said, "It's obviously Master...he...he..."

"'Master'?" Han Zhun heard an unusual word again.

Yuki's mouth twisted. It was the only part of him that could make an expression.

He didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. The young man no longer pointed at the stick, but stamped his foot: "Damn, what's the point of coming here? Are you causing trouble for yourself?"

With that said, he walked directly into the town.

Sixth shrugged. The Burrowers build their community on a family basis, so he has received a complete youth education. His great-grandfather paid great attention to the saying of "overcoming superstition" in Wuzu's philosophy. When he was a child, he often lay down with his brothers and sisters, listening to his ancestors talk about the past and the roots of these "superstitions."

Learn from history.

In fact, Yuki came back early. If we come back in more than ten years, people here will selectively forget about the silver drive shaft. Then, in their eyes, this stick will become a magic prop that "insert it to ensure that the green forest will never come again".

In an era when the logic of "witchcraft" still existed in human minds, many magical rituals were formed by humans in this way - even though these things were of no use in the material world.

Then, various stories will be attached to the stick. These things are like dust in the collective consciousness of mankind, gradually forming sedimentary rocks in the sea of ​​​​souls—if this process is not forcibly terminated by the government.

Of course, it is also possible that a group of Green Forests forcibly interrupted this process. Of course, when the "magic" bubble is popped, people will find that there is nothing inside the bubble. This stick will be quickly forgotten.

By that time, Youki may be even more unacceptable.

Youki said nothing, and Han Zhenzhen kept following him, asking questions about various things. Soon they came to the edge of the copper sugar crop.

But at this time, gunfire rang out.

Han Zhun jumped and lay on the ground skillfully. His prosthetic body rate is relatively low, so he cannot withstand this kind of torture.

Yuki looked at the place where the gunshot was heard in confusion.

Those were several young people. The leader was holding a semi-automatic rifle, pointing the muzzle at the sky, shouting: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
