Chapter 510 The true self
In a somewhat awkward atmosphere, Shang Jianyao asked curiously:
"Doesn't it hurt?"
"It hurts." Fokas didn't stop beating himself, and his voice trembled a little, "But the more painful it is, the more it makes me forget the outside, forget the past, and see my true self."
This statement...... It always feels weird...... Which religious organization is this the philosophy of this religious organization? The "First City" is really degenerate, and many elders have certain ties to different sects...... No wonder internal contradictions are becoming more and more acute...... Jiang Baimian thought about it for a moment and asked deliberately:
"You advocate your true self, not which elder?"
Syllable!
Fokas gave himself another whip:
"No, 'Dawn' is the real self, and the real self is 'Dawn'."
Another sect that worships the "dawn" of the February New Year...... Jiang Baimian did not equate the organization to which General Fokas and Boss Ugo belonged to the "Dawn Morning Star", because just from the words and words heard so far, we can see that there are many differences between the two sides.
At least in the information provided by "Pangu Biology", "Dawn Morning Star" has never mentioned the word "true self".
It is not surprising that several members of the "Old Tune Team" believe that General Phocas and Boss Ugo believe in the "dawn" of the year, because Ugo has shown the ability to influence dreams before.
And now, Jiang Baimian and others finally understood what was going on with the equipment in Ugo's room:
Their idea is to torture themselves, gain pain, and find out who they really are.
"I thought you valued dreams more." It was Shang Jianyao who said this.
Long Yuehong also thinks the same in her heart, after all, the most well-known field of "dawn" is "dreams".
Phokas ended the whipping on himself and took a breath:
"That is the misunderstanding of the world, and it is also the wrong way under the feet of heretics and heretics."
He threw the whip aside, picked up a wet towel, and wiped the blood from his body:
"Our consciousness will indeed be swallowed up by nightmares, and we will become 'mindless' in reality.
"But when we talk about dreams, we don't just talk about dreams.
"In our denomination, dreams are a broader concept that refers to the problems of blinding the true self."
The disagreement is here...... This is how believers in the "dawn" of the New Year explain "heartless disease"...... Jiang Baimian did not blindly scoff at the other party's theory.
When she is still 108,000 miles away from the conclusion, she will not desmiss any kind of so-called "truth", and sometimes, there may be the deepest and most cruel reasons lurking behind the absurd and funny.
The stones of other mountains can attack jade!
Phocas wiped his body, and put on his clothes with multiple whip marks:
"The 'Mirror Sect' and the 'Dream Order' believe that the world itself is an illusion, and in a sense, this is not wrong, otherwise the nightmare would not have the terrifying ability to devour consciousness."
When talking about other believers, the general of the "First City" casually mentioned two secret organizations.
"There is also the 'Mirage Dragon Sect'." Shang Jianyao helped Zhou Guanzhu and the others fight for status.
Fokas glanced at him and continued:
"But they want to use the power of the year to wake up from the dream and enter a new world, which can only be called stupid.
"Zhi Sui has long given us methods and powers, but we are blinded by dreams and do not realize it.
"Everyone has a true self in their body, and the true self is 'dawn', as long as you can find your true self inward, you can get out of the dream and enter a new world."
Speaking of this, the lion-like general raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and tapped the side of his head:
"The true self will last forever!"
"Oh, oh." Shang Jianyao looked very focused, as if he wanted to remember General Fokas' every move just now.
After Fukas got dressed, Jiang Baimian asked with a smile:
"Creating pain in the flesh is your way to find your true self?"
"Yes." Fokas nodded slightly, "Every time we go to Mass, we are communicating how to torture ourselves better, some prefer to drip wax, some prefer to be pricked with needles, some people keep summarizing the various techniques of tying, hanging and whipping themselves, and some people want to be tortured by external forces instead of doing it themselves."
He went on to say:
"Of course, the point is torture, not pain, the former includes the latter.
"In addition to pain, there is humiliation, and there is also mental torture, the simplest example is that some people try to draw strength from the pain of their partner's betrayal of themselves, so they take the initiative to create opportunities to test the other person."
Your denomination is not righteous...... With Long Yuehong's experience, it also feels strange.
And at this moment, only one word flashed through Jiang Baimian's mind:
Everyone has their own ambitions......
Bai Chen originally wanted to ask, "Can you really accept this? Will you really feel satisfied with this?"
But in a blink of an eye, I remembered that Fokas repeatedly emphasized "pain" and "torture".
This made her feel that the other party was invulnerable.
"Isn't the most painful thing the death of a loved one, a companion or a friend?" Shang Jianyao asked with a serious expression.
Fokas's face changed a few times:
"Yes."
His tone was very low.
Shang Jianyao asked further:
"Then would anyone deliberately let their relatives, companions and friends die in order to feel this pain?"
Focus couldn't help but look the guy up and down, as if he was looking at a pervert.
He said in a deep voice:
"How can people who can deliberately cause the death of their relatives, companions, and friends feel pain from their deaths?"
"That's right!" Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm, looking elated.
He seemed to have untied some knots in his heart because of Phocas's answer.
Fokas didn't understand too much, and didn't want to say anything more, he looked at Jiang Baimian and said:
"What kind of help do you want me to provide?"
Jiang Baimian had already had a manuscript and said with a smile:
"If there is turmoil in the city, the responsibility of protecting Avia is transferred to the city defense forces, or if there is a gap, I hope the general can provide some convenience in our contact with Avia."
"What if there was no unrest?" Fokas did not answer the rhetorical question.
Jiang Baimian replied with a smile:
"Then I won't trouble you, General, we will ask you to help me when I get back."
Fokas was noncommittal and said instead:
"If you are willing to share the gains of contacting Avia, then I can agree."
Shout...... Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief and said in a joking tone:
"Actually, with your ideas, why do you want to get the secrets left by Ore? Isn't it enough to focus on finding your true self?"
Fokas looked around and said:
"Before we can find our true selves, we must also fight terrible nightmares so that our self-consciousness is not swallowed up, and the secrets left behind by Ore are likely to reveal the truth of the nightmare to some extent."
Jiang Baimian stopped asking questions and smiled:
"Happy cooperation."
Phokas turned around and looked at the window covered by the curtain, and said casually:
"I should go back too, Gaius will speak at the citizens' rally later."
…………
After getting the radio transceiver from Boss Ugo, the "old tune team" directly started debugging on the car, and then sent a telegram to "Pangu Biotechnology".
The content of the telegram is similar to Jiang Baimian's draft yesterday, but it only adds today's citizens' rally and gives the speculation that "there may be turmoil", expressing his desire to take advantage of the chaos to contact Avia.
Jiang Baimian hopes to get help from the company.
She felt that the company, as a big force, could not have only one intelligence network and a team like the "old tune team" in the original city.
After sending the telegram, Jiang Baimian set his sights on "Garibaldi" Giuseppe:
"Does the company have an awakened person at the level of 'Spiritual Corridor' here?"
Giuseppe shook his head slowly:
"I don't know, I am only responsible for providing corresponding information, not in deep contact with the person in charge, before this time, I didn't know you were so strong."
He did meet a large part of them and gave them specified information, but I don't know if there are any awakeners at the "Mind Corridor" level among them.
Speaking of this, Giuseppe added two sentences:
"However, there are really many teams and individuals in the company performing tasks here, and there is a high possibility that there will be strong people."
"Individual?" Jiang Baimian's eyes lit up.
Just as solo hunters tend to be stronger, those who perform company tasks individually rather than as a team are certainly not weak.
"Three." Giuseppe gave a positive answer, "But I have been exposed, and they will definitely not contact me again."
Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully and said to Bai Chen:
"Drive the car to the junction of the Red Giant Wolf District and the Green Olive District."
The official broadcasts of the original city can be heard there, so that the "old tune group" can grasp the direction of the citizens' assembly, and in the event of unrest, they can withdraw into the green olive area in time - as a place where the citizens and foreign vagrants live, it lacks strategic importance and will not become the focus of contention, but will only produce a certain amount of disorderly riots, which does not threaten the "old tune group".
"Okay." Bai Chen accelerated the jeep slightly.
