Even if this project had a dozen more people, it would still be a drop in the bucket.
So he also set up a game studio related to the VR technology. However, obviously, because of Kayaba Akihiko's "suicide", it was obviously confirmed that the equipment had major safety hazards, so the related products on the market were naturally recalled. The company was still in a state of panic and would definitely not be able to recover in less than half a year.
Until then, the Gongfuin family's consortium can only wait and see.
So even if he could recruit people now, it would be meaningless.
Not to mention he hasn't recruited one yet.
Ling Wuji's state made Awashima Seri talk to him frequently, as if to confirm his mental state. Ling Wuji also vaguely sensed her thoughts and said, "So, in your opinion, it's abnormal for me not to cause trouble?"
Obviously, this is the impression Ling Wuji gives people.
So Awashima Seri didn't deny it, she just nodded.
“But when I first came to Japan…”
"Maybe at that time you just felt that you couldn't bear the consequences of causing trouble, so you chose to lie low?"
"You talk as if I'm invincible now."
"You can even defeat Luo Hao, and Medusa also obeys your orders. Is there anything else that can pose a threat to you? Not to mention that you have the hair of the Monkey King in your hand." Awashima Seri said.
"If strength can be compared so simply, then I should be punching the 27th Ancestor of the Dead Apostles and kicking the God of Disobedience," Ling Wuji just complained, "but obviously I can't do that."
"In your opinion, how should we distinguish between the strong and the weak?"
Ling Wuji naturally brought out the old saying he used to deal with Luo Hao at that time: "Of course it depends on the strength of the three layers of the structure of 'spirit, energy and spirit'. If any one of these three layers is weak, it will determine their upper limit. Luo Hao is strong in magic power and physical form, but weak in spirit and soul, which gives me an opportunity to take advantage of him; but the God of Disobedience has essentially regarded the three as one. Even if I use the Dragon Slaying Technique to separate them, they may not have any shortcomings. From the level of life, the God Slayer is obviously not as good as the God of Disobedience."
"So Luo Hao lost because of this? Do you have a way to deal with the soul?"
Obviously, even someone like Awashima Seri cannot suppress her curiosity about this secret that has yet to be revealed.
Ling Wu Ji nodded indifferently.
"So, as long as any one of the three structures of spirit, energy and spirit has a shortcoming, you can deal with it?"
Ling Wuji looked at her strangely.
"what happened?"
"Why do I feel like you are on a mission to collect intelligence on me..."
Awashima Seri felt an indescribable anger at Ling Wuji's groundless suspicion, so she turned her head away and said, "Then you might as well not say anything!"
Ling Wuji thought about it and said, "Although it sounds a bit arrogant, in theory, it is true. It is better to say that the only thing that limits me now is my speed, so I am also thinking about getting an IS to enhance my mobility."
"You can already fly, but you still want to improve your maneuverability?"
"The flying speed that Liezi's Wind Controlling Technique can provide is not very good, or it is limited by my own cultivation. Although the mobility of the IS also has certain limitations."
At this time, Awashima Seri suddenly realized: "Isn't it true that only women can drive the IS?"
Ling Wuji rolled his eyes and said, "You believe that? IS is just a weapon after all. What kind of weapon can't be controlled just because of gender? It's nothing more than Xiao Zhizhishu's feminist tendencies."
"So you found that one?"
"Who?"
Ling Wuji decisively pretended to be stupid.
Awashima Seri looked at the lively expression on the boy's face, and suddenly, as if snow had melted, the smile on that originally dull but unusually beautiful face became exceptionally bright, and then she said, "In that case, I have nothing to worry about."
"Actually, even if I wanted to cause trouble you couldn't stop me, right?"
"That's certainly not what I'm worried about."
Ling Wuji said seriously: "If that's the case, I'm going to go to high school and turn over a new leaf, remember the Eight Honors and Eight Shames, stay true to my original aspiration, and always be ready to serve the people and build a socialist ..."
Awashima Seri was a little stunned for a moment: "You want to join the Japanese Communist Party?"
Ling Wuji almost choked: "How is that possible? I have no intention of giving up my Chinese nationality."
"So you were just kidding?"
"Yeah, do you think I'm someone who will change my ways?"
"Well," Awashima Seri nodded, "After all, people won't always stay the same, right?"
Ling Wuji also agreed with this statement.
But if people are destined to change, then why did he choose to see his true nature instead of using the Tiandun Sword Technique to create an ideal, perfect self? Why should he force himself to accept his imperfect self?
Ling Wu Ji said to himself in his heart.
"But I still think you are better now."
Hearing her say that, Ling Wuji couldn't help but ask: "Don't you think what you said is contradictory?"
She is always worried about whether he will become the one who is so clear-headed, but she says that he is better now? Could it be that she is actually a worried old lady?
How did Char say that?
Larazin... No, Kokoro... No, Awashima Seri is the one who can be my mother!
No, this attribute is too different, isn't it?
"I don't think it's contradictory, because no matter how you look at it, the possibility that you're heading in a worse direction is the greatest, right?"
"But that's just what you think."
"But to this day, you still haven't found a way to make yourself happy from the bottom of your heart, right?" Awashima Seri asked him.
Ling Wu Ji suddenly fell silent.
Volume 2: Yitian Wanli needs a long sword: Chapter : Epilogue ()
In How the Steel Was Tempered, Pavel Korchagin said: "One's life should be spent in this way, so that when one looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his years, nor be ashamed of doing nothing. When he is dying, he can say: 'My whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the greatest cause in the world - the struggle for human liberation'!"
Although Ling Wu Ji felt that he was actually a nihilist.
But he also liked the previous sentence.
But even if he is really like Awashima Seri, who is always causing trouble, he cannot say that he is not wasting his time, because he may not really care about the things he has caused.
Romain Rolland also said: "There is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is to love life after seeing the truth of it."
Therefore, Ling Wuji cannot be considered a hero.
He also didn't think he had enough courage to love life.
Perhaps the truth is that he still cannot accept the real self, the real self who is useless without the means of the mysterious side. In a sense, he and his believer, Arisa Kushoin, are actually birds of a feather, except that Arisa Kushoin relies on him as her god, while he relies on the various abilities brought to him by the means of the mysterious side.
After taking away his abilities and appearance, how much of his self is recognized by others?
He didn't even dare to ask others such questions.
However, at this time he inexplicably thought of someone.
"Maybe I should be more open-minded."
If he cannot determine the reference frame through himself, he can only introduce variables.
All the past events came to his mind at this moment, including the issue of the open system that the old man in the temple talked about, Sun Wukong's "My nature is self-sufficient, I do not rely on external help", and the old Taoist's "use the unreal to cultivate the real". It was as if all the truths suddenly became clear to him. If he was not sure whether his talent in the mysterious side could be regarded as a part of himself, then he had to temporarily become an ordinary person.
At that time, perhaps he will be frustrated, and then rely more on the means of the mysterious side, or perhaps he will maintain the status quo, but he will be able to see himself more clearly. Or maybe, he can completely accept his true self?
Ling Wuji felt as if he had fallen into a strange logic circle: Can a person really objectively examine his own problems? If he found the problem, wouldn't that mean he had recognized himself in a certain sense?
However, he had not completely forgotten the foundation of his previous life. He reacted after a moment and thought of Gödel's incompleteness theorem.
In other words, a mentally ill person cannot judge whether he or she is mentally ill.
Ling Wu Ji shook his head, but even when he thought of this messy joke and the solution to his current problem, his mood did not seem to get much better. He realized that what would it matter even if he could see the truth?
So what if he can break through to the Golden Core stage?
He felt that there was a hole in his heart that seemed like a bottomless abyss, and no matter what, it could not be filled.
And that void has probably existed since the beginning of the time travel.
“Real, heartfelt happiness?”
He thought of Awashima Seri's concern for him, and thought that perhaps he had unconsciously entered the state she described. He was gradually losing interest in everything. Even the things between him and Arisa Kushoin unconsciously turned to the art of sex, although the result was not bad.
Ling Wuji stood on the street of this city and exhaled a puff of white steam.
He has lived in this city for a year, although until now, he still feels that he cannot fully integrate into this place. It is better to say that there is always a certain gap between him and this world. This gap keeps the reality of the world out of his door. What he can see is mostly what he wants to see.
He also has the ability to rewrite most of the reality he sees into what he wants to see.
Although it seems that he doesn't take the initiative very often.
He wanted to observe this city carefully, but in this huge city, there were not many people who could really gain his approval. Most people were just a group of busy ants to him, just passers-by who would cross each other's paths, and insignificant background boards. His perspective shifted to the "Taixu Mirror", and he couldn't help but think, maybe after a hundred years, when he had no worries in this world, maybe he would really be like Araya Soren, who couldn't help but want to launch a world-destroying crisis or something when the mood struck him?
But the influence of Zhuangzi's teachings on him may have been too profound.
"The universe is not small and vast, but what people can use is only enough to accommodate their feet. So if we use our feet as a toilet to cushion our feet, and end up in the underworld, is there any use for people?"
The world is not narrow. The space that people can use is merely for standing on. But if all the space except for the foothold is dug away, all the way to the underworld, is there anything left in the world that can be used?
Therefore, transforming the world cannot be based on destroying the world.
Although Zhuangzi's theories are basically about how to blend in with the light and dust, avoid worldly troubles, and even oppose the progress of civilization.
……
For secular Japan, this winter was not much different from any other.
But on the mysterious side, the sudden emergence of a certain person caused an unprecedented response.
The seventh godslayer, Kusanagi Godou, went to Italy for spring break and returned the Prometheus tablet to a witch. He borrowed the power of the tablet and successfully killed a disobedient god, usurping his power, and leaped from an ordinary person on the secular side who knew nothing to the pinnacle of the mysterious side.
The appearance of this person caused an undercurrent of turmoil on the mysterious side of Tokyo.
Everyone felt that as a godslayer and a demon king, he would sooner or later dominate the mysterious side of Japan.
But unfortunately, Tokyo is now under the control of a young man from China.
And that young man even had a record of defeating Luo Hao.
Such a miracle can even be compared to killing a god in a sense.
Of course, if we talk about legendary status, he is naturally not as good as Kusanagi Godou, who knew nothing about the mysterious side but succeeded in killing gods.
Therefore, many people on the mysterious side of Japan are optimistic about him and want to secretly bet on him. After all, although Ling Wu Ji basically cooperates with Scepter 4 in his daily affairs and can be said to be impartial, the Japanese still do not want to be suppressed by an outsider. So after Kusanagi Godou returned from Italy, people on the mysterious side of Tokyo kept sending people to contact him and provoke confrontation between him and Ling Wu Ji.
This hypocritical pacifist was misled by the inflammatory remarks of those people and believed that Ling Wuji was a tyrant like Dong Zhuo, so he really wanted to negotiate with him.
