My players are so fierce

Chapter 1350 1348. The quack doctor Crow Brother and his hopeless patient (continued)

"Crow, the Mermaid merchants will arrive in Transia in a few days. They are important guests who came to open up trade routes under the orders of Governor Hood. I will hold a banquet in Booty Bay to welcome you. When the time comes, you will serve as a cooperator." Partners should also come together.”

Boss Huo's voice rang out from the communication calculation orb, interrupting Brother Crow's concentration while he was busy.

He helplessly looked away from the dwarf mythology books in front of him and replied:

"I don't have time, Lao Huo. I have a lot of patients these days, especially after the Eternal Night Disaster in East Prussia. Many people suffered from severe mental weakness. It is said that the shadow dropped by the Lord of Darkness aroused them. The darkness in their hearts caused those people to lose control and cause quite a scene in Stromgarde.

Taipal invited me over to see what was going on, but I couldn't get away for a while. "

"I know you are busy, but this matter is related to the big things we have been doing."

Boss Huo explained:

“Didn’t you say before that you were going to fool the financial officer sent by the wolf girl?

This time, I will use the name of undersea trade to dispel all his worries. Coupled with the credibility endorsement of the Great Reef Province and the Merman Kingdom, there is a high probability that the guy can safely invest the Wolf Girl's wealth into it. With the blessing of the Wolf Girl's reputation, sweeping across Kakhovka and even several connected areas is no longer a dream. "

"That's a business issue, and I'm not professional enough in this area. In the past, I could only listen to your arrangements."

Brother Crow still declined politely:

"So I'd better do more practical things. I won't participate in your discussion. I will come over when the actual action is taken. In addition, I want to warn you not to make the stall too big. The scale is now a bit out of control. .

My advice is to close the net within a month. "

"Yeah, don't worry, my secretaries have already made a full set of plans. We will be able to retreat according to the plan when the time comes."

Lao Huo agreed, then exchanged a few words and then cut off the communication.

Brother Crow let out a sigh of relief, looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and planned to set off to Stromgarde after reading the dwarf myth in his hand to provide some treatment within his power for those suspected of being mentally ill.

But just as he turned the page, he heard someone next to him say:

"Don't bother!

Minds that have been defiled by the Lord of Darkness will be filled with evil thoughts that cannot be purified, but only those who already have shadows in their hearts will be profoundly affected. Measured by ordinary people's standards, 'good people' under universal values ​​will not be affected. There is such worry.

Therefore, none of those guys who are mentally ill are bad birds.

It might be a better choice to let them fend for themselves. "

The voice was calm and indifferent, not caring about how terrible and cruel the things he said were, as if he were discussing the recipe for tonight's dinner or why ants make holes.

It stands to reason that the sudden appearance of a person in his own yard would definitely panic the owner, but Brother Crow didn't.

Not only did he not panic, but he raised his head helplessly and said:

"I know you are a very good and outstanding assassin, but can you not show up suddenly at this time? My heart is not very good. To be honest, I can't bear too many surprises."

"I didn't mean to scare you, doctor, I was just pressed for time so I didn't have time to knock on the door."

At the door of Brother Crow's study, the slave owner Sariv Shadowblade walked out of the almost invisible shadow.

Today, he was wearing a traveler's attire, and he did seem to be traveling far away. However, he held a few books in his hands and placed them on Brother Crow's table. The top one was the famous "Existence and Nothingness". 》.

There is no doubt that these books should all have similar contents. Philosophical books from another world are the kind of things that ordinary people will not be interested in actively reading in their lifetime.

"I have to leave Transia, and I probably won't come back again, so before I leave, I will send back a few books I borrowed from you and express my gratitude to you."

The slave owner's fingers lightly crossed the book and said:

"Although in my opinion, your so-called 'treatment' is meaningless at all, I don't feel that I am better than before. On the contrary, because of spending so much energy reading these obscure books, I have neglected to exercise.

To be honest, I doubt you are using this method to weaken my combat effectiveness."

"My treatment is very effective. Your Excellency, please do not doubt my ability in this area."

Crow took down the book and opened it and looked at it. After discovering some creases on the book and a shadow elf-style bookmark, he shook his head and handed it to Salifu, saying:

“Take it with you, you can take it out and look at it when you’re bored on the road.

This is a good book and it is really helpful for your situation. After all, from the first moment I saw you, I knew that you had fallen into decadent nihilism and could not extricate yourself and even developed to the stage of self-destruction.

But I believe that some of the ideas in this book will allow you to look at and examine your past life from another perspective.

In fact, I'm not doing you any harm by suggesting that you convert to a faith.

I have explained to you that the incident between you and Truman has become a taboo in your past memories, like a thorn wrapped in your hand. You yourself cannot touch that memory, let alone face it or let go of it. More importantly!

My series of psychological interventions are not useless, it's just that you are resisting treatment.

You regard the past as a sin that must be borne, so you have a "martyrdom"-like emotion and regard it as a part of atonement.

Don't rush to deny it, Mr. Salifu.

I don't need your approval or answer, you only need to answer yourself, and only you know the answer to this question.

You killed Truman and suffered a lot because of it. You know what you must do to prevent your guilt from becoming a cause of suicide, so you regard Truman's ideal as your own ideal and decide to spend the rest of your life overthrowing the social problems of the Shadow Elves that are too bad to be solved.

Unfortunately, you lack relevant professional knowledge and don't know how to lead those men who have suffered like you.

Without the guidance of correct thoughts, you can only use violence to solve problems, and you immerse yourself in it day after day and eventually become a group of hopeless thugs. Even the organization itself has become a chain that binds you. "

The crow stood up and looked at the silent slave owner with a sharp look.

He said:

"You have realized that what you did will not make the shadow elf society better. You realized that you can't fulfill Truman's ideal by yourself, so you looked for answers from a group of "bad friends" and naturally accepted the influence of the stupid annihilation thinking of the monk.

It was at that time that you stepped into a mental trap that you could not escape.

In your heart, you think that everything is meaningless. In this case, there is no difference between saving and destroying. You may not be able to create a new world like Truman, but you can at least destroy the old world and let the weeds of hope grow freely in the ruins.

So, you ran all the way on this road.

But this is wrong!

When you need help the most, the monk polluted you with his extreme thoughts.

I don't deny that the question of the value of life is a false proposition. I am actually a nihilist, but you and I have completely different answers to the question of "the meaning of life".

I give you these books to let you know that in the face of despair, you can choose to self-destruct and destroy the world together with yourself, or you can stop worrying about the value and meaning of existence, so that you can face your life and the whole world with a freer attitude.

Since everything will lead to nothingness, there is no need to care whether your existence is valuable to the world, and there is no need to insist on proving anything to anyone, and there is no need to insist on sacrificing yourself to answer a question that may not have an answer from the beginning. "

He looked at Salifu in front of him and asked back:

"Are you so sure that Truman can do what he wants to do if he is alive? You have read a lot of books these days, and I believe you can understand that the problem of the shadow elves cannot be solved by one or two heroes.

If Truman lived until now, he would probably be as painful and confused as you.

His luck is that he was killed by you before he realized his incompetence, and his pain was eventually inherited by you.

I am not provoking you!

I just want to say my true opinion on this matter at this farewell moment.

You and Truman are both looking for fish in a tree. If you can't look at the problem objectively, you can't expect to get the right answer. You can't even clear your own mind, so how can you save your suffering compatriots?

Your problem is exactly the same as the problems faced by young people in their twenties in my world.

Too much thinking, too little action; too many problems, too little knowledge.

And my final advice to you is, don't try to attribute all problems to your past mistakes, and don't try to solve problems alone. There is no answer in this world that can make the shadow elves return to normal overnight.

In this kind of problem, all those who try to take shortcuts will eventually be punished by fate, and you are the most classic example.

You have lost everything, Salifu, you have nothing to lose, but this is an opportunity, an opportunity to regain yourself. "

After Brother Crow finished speaking, Salifu did not say a word.

Whether this was a provocation or indeed a form of "talk therapy", he did not respond to these remarks, but the fact that Brother Crow could openly talk about his relationship with Truman without being pierced through the heart by Salifu showed Brother Crow's "amazing attainments" in this regard.

You can say he was bewitching or deceiving.

But he really raised the personal reputation of a Dusk Boss to "Friendly", which is a miracle that players can never achieve.

"You want to persuade me to turn back from my wrong path?"

The slave owner raised his head, looked at Brother Crow, and said sarcastically:

"You want to tell me that I have a second chance?"

"No, you don't. "

Brother Crow shook his head and said:

"But you don't need that. As I said, you have gone too far on the road of self-destruction. It is the energy in your heart that supports you to keep trekking.

You are already dead!

When the sword that killed Truman struck, you died along with your brother. The one who survived was just a body that kept moving forward to realize an impossible ideal. When the energy in your heart dissipated, that was when you collapsed.

I never thought about saving you. I am just a lawyer, not a magician. I don't have the power to change the world like my companions.

I just hope that through my intervention, you can choose to rest in peace when you finally collapse, instead of letting despair shape yourself into something more terrifying. This world is already full of disasters, and it really doesn't need more crazy shadow elf butchers. "

"But as a doctor, you should at least give me a suggestion as a patient!"

Salifu said coldly:

"Instead of treating me as your test subject, kicking me away after shamelessly analyzing my thoughts and consciousness, what is the difference between this and the monk you hate? Even if it is an incurable terminal illness, you should symbolically prescribe some medicine for me. "

"I have already given you advice."

The crow pointed to the book in Salifu's hand and said solemnly:

"Read more, fight less, don't act recklessly when encountering problems, learn to arm yourself with knowledge instead of letting yourself fall into the nature of beasts. Violence is the lowest level way to solve all problems. Once you immerse yourself in it, you will no longer have any chance of wisdom.

Come to think of it, if you had gathered those children and given them books instead of swords, perhaps the situation would be different now.

I have read so many books to you, Salifu, do you really have no feelings at all?

The dignity you want requires not only a hand holding a sword, but also a pen to record and books like this that analyze problems.

But as far as you are concerned, my advice to you is to do what you are good at. ”

He repeated what he had just said and said:

“You may not be able to create a new world, but you can destroy the unfair old world and let the weeds of hope grow freely in the ruins. ”

“Isn’t this exactly the same as the advice given to me by the monk head?”

Salifu said sarcastically:

“Sure enough, saying so much can’t change the fact that you are a quack. I am really wasting my time and life here these days. I wanted to give you some medical fees, but I finally decided to spare your life.

Take care of yourself, quack!

Not every patient has the same good temper as me. "

After saying that, he turned and disappeared into the shadow of the study, but he did not leave behind the book that Brother Crow asked him to take with him.

"Quack" Crow did not get angry because of the patient's ridicule. On the contrary, he tidied up his study and left his courtyard on time. He also ran into Patriarch Natalie at the door.

The latter rode a horse to Stromberg to assist in treating patients there, and happened to go with Brother Crow.

The two of them left the neighborhood while talking. When they were about to enter the airship tower, Natalie looked at Crow beside her and said:

"Your dangerous patient just left. He followed you until you were safe, obviously to prevent me from arresting you, the quack who was entangled with Dusk. Are you crazy? Do you know that once people know what you have done during this period, not only the Transians, but also your compatriots will despise you for it.

This is already a betrayal!"

"I am just doing my duty. "

Brother Crow said with a smile:

"I can't drive the patient away when he comes to me. Besides, I ran to you for help the first time he came, and you didn't refuse me to continue to contact him, right? My powerful bodyguard. "

"Humph."

Ms. Natalie snorted expressionlessly, but when the two walked into the cabin of the airship, she couldn't help asking:

"So, what are you bewitching him for?"

"You can't use the derogatory word "bewitching", ma'am. To be precise, I'm just treating him, and at most adding a little guidance."

Crow corrected:

"I don't have the idea of ​​taking advantage of a poor man at all. I just want him to know where his problem lies.

He has eaten more rice than I have eaten salt, and he has killed more people than I have ever seen. Such a person doesn't need to be bewitched at all!

When he finds the answer, he will take action immediately. However, as I said, a man with blood on his hands like Lord Salifu will not have a second chance. All he can do is swing his sword at the right target at the right moment in the process of self-destruction.

So, let us mourn for the next victim who deserves it.

I hope this soul can find a little relief on the road to destruction. He is destined to suffer in the hell of the shadow elves for 10,000 years, but if he can get an answer before going to hell, perhaps 10,000 years of torture will be sweet for him.

Bless my patient, he is beyond help. "
