01153 Rashomon
"The information is not equal...... Isn't what we're doing now being a savior? Noko suddenly felt ridiculous.
Hearing this, You Gege asked, "Yezi, if you could know all the truth, would you feel very happy?" β
Yezi was stunned, thought for a while, and replied seriously: "It depends on what kind of truth it is." β
You Gege smiled: "For example? β
"For example......" Yezi rolled his eyes, and then smiled: "Just like the real estate they talked about just now, this is a good opportunity to make money, who doesn't want to take the opportunity to make a little money." β
As soon as these words came out, not only You Gege laughed, but Zhao Jie and Lao Xuan also laughed.
Seeing this, Yezi didn't smile: "Hey, what's wrong?" β
Zhao Jie waved his hand and said: "That's true, what everyone wants to know and the truth they want to know will always tend to be beneficial to themselves, and this will never change." β
"Really?" Yezi frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Zhao Jie's remarks.
Lao Xuan nodded and agreed: "This is reasonable, in fact...... Speaking of which, a movie called "Rashomon" made by your Japanese director has been well explained, why, haven't you seen this movie, Noko? β
Noko was stunned, she really hadn't seen it, but she had only heard about it.
"No...... I'm not interested in old movies. β
Lao Xuan was a little surprised and embarrassed, and he sighed softly: "Oh, no wonder. β
Noko: "Don't be wonder, what is this movie about?" β
Lao Xuan glanced at Yezi and then looked at Zhao Jie beside him and said, "When it comes to storytelling, you are still good at it, why don't you tell her?" β
Zhao Jie didn't rush to start, but glanced at You Gege first, and saw that You Gege didn't say anything before he said: "Actually, the story of this "Rashomon" is not complicated, the characters in the scene are very simple, but the interesting thing is that it is such a simple story that reflects too much about the truth and human nature. β
Yezi rolled his eyes and said, "Ouch, don't have so many prefixes, okay!" Straight to the point! β
Zhao Jie laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, well, the story told by Rashomon is actually like the four of us today, it is a story about a woodcutter, a robber, a samurai and the samurai's wife about four different descriptions of the truth." β
...... [The following contains spoilers, please read as appropriate]......
This "Rashomon" directed by the great director Akira Kurosawa tells the story of a bizarre murder.
The victims were samurai and the wives of samurai.
But in terms of the description of the truth, the confessions of the four people have four completely different stories.
In the eyes of the robbers, killing a samurai and insulting his wife was a manifestation of his superb martial arts.
In the eyes of the samurai, he was killed by robbers because he was plotted.
In the eyes of samurai wives, her husband was killed because he didn't love her and even disliked her because she was insulted.
In the woodcutter's eyes, the death of these people had nothing to do with him, all he wanted was the knife and the belongings of the deceased.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Each of the four different versions of the story has its own contradictions, but without exception, each has a self-interested attitude towards the truth.
Through this "Rashomon", the director shows people's attitude towards the truth.
After listening to Zhao Jie's story, Yezi understood why Zhao Jie and the others laughed when they said that they made a fortune.
They laughed not at Noko's straightforwardness and the careful thinking of money fans, but at this attitude towards the truth.
And if everyone's attitude towards the truth is like this, then it means that the truth sold by β³ββ³ is destined to be impossible for everyone to accept, let alone talk about salvation.
The asymmetry of top-down information mentioned earlier is understandable, and even necessary.
Because it is this asymmetry that creates the benefits, and once it is made public, then the truth about "real estate" loses its value.
Thinking of this, Noko was silent.
Everyone was silent.
After a long time, You Gege said: "We have never been a savior, nor have we intended to save the world, nor have we been able to save the world, what we can do is to break the existing order and constantly add new variables to the world, so as to help it accelerate its demise, or ...... Towards Transcendence...... But after all, the result is unpredictable, and thinking too much is restricted everywhere, so ...... No one will be allowed to talk about this issue in the future, we just need to maintain one principle. β
A principle? Noko didn't know the details of the plan, so she was a little puzzled.
Zhao Jie said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, as long as they bid the right price and what truth they want, we will give them something!" Before it all begins, we're pure businessmen! This is really important! β
Lao Xuan also thought so, but he thought about it more, he added: "However, we also have to master the balance of this, and we can't let any one or several forces regard us as a thorn in the side, so even if our strength is strong enough, it will be difficult to start promoting the 'Flint Project' ten years later." β
Project Flint? Noko heard another unfamiliar keyword, but she didn't dare to ask more.
You Gege pondered for a moment and then said, "Now that there are our people infiltrating the country, I am not worried that they will concentrate their forces against us...... What I'm worried about now is how I'm going to deal with it in 10 years. β
After hearing this, Zhao Jie and Lao Xuan glanced at each other, and the two said in unison: "The student thinks that Mr. should probably recruit protΓ©gΓ©s and brainstorm!" β
"Brainstorming?" You Gege thought for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed...... There's nothing better to do it......"
At this point, this is the end of the conversation for the time being.
Before I knew it, it was noon, and Zhao Jie and the others, who were originally going to take a break, simply didn't sleep, and directly began to prepare for You Gege's afternoon trip.
You Gege took a nap in his room for an hour.
Zhao Jie woke her up at exactly one o'clock in the afternoon.
Leaving their temporary residence, the group drove to the front of a house in the suburbs.
The house is located on the edge of the settlement, and behind it is a pine forest, which is not at all conspicuous.
However, after entering the house, I knew what it meant to "have no hole".
Although the interior decoration style is relatively simple, the details also reflect the care and refinement.
When You Gege arrived, the second floor of the house was already full.
Hearing that Mr. had arrived, the people on the second floor hurriedly got up, and they were all very respectful.
These people are men and women, not only in age, but also in skin and hair color.
It's not hard to tell from their faces that they come from all over the world.
The reason why You Gege met these people here is quite intriguing.
After taking the main seat, the door to the second floor was closed.
Zhao Jie and Lao Xuan were not accompanied, only Yezi always followed You Gege's side.
At about 9 o'clock in the evening, after the seven-hour secret meeting, the people who participated in the secret meeting left the mansion in batches.
You Gege didn't stay here either, she went back to her previous hotel, had dinner there, and then rested for the night.
Early the next morning, You Gege received a piece of bad news.
Chao Qing is dead.
Although he was wearing a technological product that was ahead of his time, and had the combat strength to fight against a hundred, he was defeated in the end and died in battle.
However, before he died, Chao Qing destroyed all the products that did not belong to this era, including the exoskeleton armor on his body.
Chao Qing's death was originally in You Gege's plan, so You Gege was not surprised, nor was he too sad.
However, Zhao Jie's eyes turned red for a while after receiving the news, and he finally held back and did not lose his temper in front of others.
As soon as Chao Qing died, basically the storm in Nanjing subsided.
β³ββ³ announced their arrival to the world in such a very high-profile way, and showed his attitude, as for what they thought, You Gege didn't care.
Now what she was waiting for was something else.
β¦β¦
After waiting for a day and a night, Hu Benkang finally met Li Shaoan.
But as soon as they met, the two did not hug warmly, but almost fought.
Hu Benkang was angry that Li Shaoan actually used him as a pawn, and Li Shaoan was angry that he overstepped his authority and reported Li Shaoan's various violations to his superiors.
Although these "violations" and "ultra vires" behaviors have been confirmed by their superiors, Li Shaoan will inevitably be blamed in front of others for Hu Benkang's trouble...... After all, in order to successfully clean up this batch of "uninvited guests", under Li Shaoan's layout, the special service team sacrificed seven young team members.
Guan Dehou finally pulled the two of them apart, but the cruel words of these two people did not stop.
"What! The wings are hard! I was able to take charge of myself! That's it, whether the brother lives or dies? Did Lao Tzu save the dog's life when he blocked the bullet for you in the Northeast?! Yes?! Hu Benkang was about to explode, his anger was not just that Li Shaoan had hidden something from him, but that he felt that this matter could have been done better, at least ...... At least you don't have to sacrifice so many young lives "for nothing".
"Hu Benkang! You're not a soldier! It's a soldier! He has to obey orders!! If you listen to orders, you will inevitably bleed! Don't tell me you don't understand!! Li Shao'an's anger came more from the incomprehension of his best friends.
"I understand! It's because I understand that I risked my life to save you a shit! And what about you! What do you take your brother for! When you ascend the ladder to prosperity and fortune? Yes! You spread out! If Lao Tzu doesn't convince him today, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Hu! β
Li Shaoan sneered: "Come on!" I think you're the best at it! Isn't it stupid to stay in the Northeast! Don't give me any kind of high hat! I can't catch it! I don't want to pick it up either! If you think I'm here to get promoted! Are you coming? I'm standing here today and you're going to fight! If I fight back, I'm a beast! β
"You!" Hu Benkang was angry, he made a fierce effort, broke free from Guan Dehou, and then punched Li Shaoan in the face.
The punch was very hard.
Li Shaoan staggered back several steps before he stabilized his figure.
He didn't fight back, and stood up straight and looked at Hu Benkang.
After Hu Benkang punched, he rushed over and grabbed Li Shao'an by the collar and pushed him against the wall and said, "I took them out in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and before I left, I promised their parents that I would be taken back by them!" Are you ...... now? What should I bring back? Do you want to take their ashes back to show them to their parents? Yes!!! When did the people who came out of our eighth company become so cold-blooded! Yes??!! You don't even say hello! No trace at all! If it weren't for Lao Tzu's fate, would you also want to prepare a coffin for me? Yes?! β
Li Shaoan didn't say a word, he just looked at Hu Benkang.
Hu Benkang saw that he didn't react, and the anger that had already gone down came back again, he threw Li Shaoan aside hard, and then chased after him again.
This time, Guan Dehou didn't stop him, and a voice stopped Hu Benkang's fist.
"Stop!
β
Hu Benkang's body trembled, and when he looked back, Minister Chen was standing at the door with a pale face.
Guan Dehou immediately stood up straight and saluted.
Hu Benkang also put away his fists, but there was no indication on his face that he had done something wrong.
Minister Chen walked in and looked at Li Shao'an.
When he was in the Northeast, he didn't specialize in special service assaults, so even if he confronted him head-on, Li Shaoan could not be Hu Benkang's opponent.
After this punch, half of his face was swollen, and the corners of his mouth were even more bloody.
Minister Chen frowned: "Look at you!" What does it look like! Now that the matter is not over, let's fight with the nest?! β
Hu Benkang gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Li Shaoan got up slowly, lowered his head and did not speak.
After all, Minister Chen still felt sorry for Li Shaoan, so he approached and said, "Go and let the nurse take a look." β
Li Shaoan nodded lightly and then left accompanied by Guan Dehou.
Hu Benkang saw that Li Shaoan was gone, and he didn't want to ask anything more, so he saluted: "Minister, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back too." β
When Minister Chen heard this, he stopped him: "Wait, you come with me for a while." β
Saying that, Minister Chen walked out, but Hu Benkang did not move.
Minister Chen walked to the door and didn't hear the voice behind him, so he turned around and said, "What, do you still need me to invite you over?" β
Hu Benkang followed.
When I arrived at Minister Chen's office, there were two foreigners sitting in the room, one of whom looked like an American, and the other was a black man wearing a navy green military uniform and didn't know what country it was.
After seeing these two people, Minister Chen said: "I'm sorry two, I have some important things to deal with, and I ask you two to go to the hotel to rest first, and let's discuss the previous things early tomorrow morning, what do you think?" β
Minister Chen spoke in Chinese.
The two foreigners seemed to understand perfectly, and they got up silently and left.
Hu Benkang was amazed.
After the door was closed, Minister Chen sighed, and then said: "It is the intention of the ministry to let your people come over to carry out the task, and Shao An knew about it at that time and tried his best to stop it, but there was meat in the palms and backs of his hands, and it was inevitable that there would be deaths and injuries to anyone, so the ministry did not adopt Shao An's opinion, and still chose the best indicators for you to have to unit!" β
Minister Chen poured two cups of tea, then handed Hu Benkang a cup.
This has been made very clear, Hu Benkang is not a fool, but ...... What he cares about is not personal life and death, but being used without knowing the truth.
Minister Chen took the tea and did not drink it, but saluted to the west, and then sprinkled it in front of him.
Seeing this, Hu Benkang also gave tea to the seven martyrs who died in Longtan Prison the day before yesterday.
"Sit down."
Hu Benkang didn't move, he was still standing.
After Minister Chen glanced at him, he knew what he was thinking, so he continued: "The reason why I hid it from you from beginning to end is not because I am worried that your personal consciousness is not enough and you will have emotions, but because ...... From the beginning to the end, we didn't dare to leak a little bit of the news. β
Hu Benkang frowned: "Why?" β
Minister Chen poured another cup of tea, tasted it and said with a wry smile: "Why...... Because our opponent is not only β³ββ³, but also many other 'uninvited guests' who covet the scientific and technological power mastered by this group of people, and these people have infiltrated all parts of Nanjing in this year, if it weren't for Shao'an and Dehou who escaped death and brought back key clues, we might not even be able to catch a mouse as big as Omega Commando! β
Hu Benkang frowned when he heard this, but he continued to ask: "If it is reasonable to say that one or two illegal elements entered the country with guns, such a large number of armed personnel appeared in Longtan Prison, this kind of thing can no longer be explained by negligence, right?" β
Minister Chen nodded: "You're right, but do you know that since the appearance of that mysterious organization codenamed AOA, all countries in the world have been disturbed by them, and from the very beginning, we can't be sure that their nest is under our noses, and the findings of the Interpol and Security Affairs Disposal Team all point to San Francisco, USA...... But the result? We have all become pawns on other people's chessboards, they just used the most ordinary disguise to hide themselves in such a high-profile place as Longtan Prison, and even put Chao Qing outside for us to see! But this is the same as close-up magic, the closer you get, the more you can't see clearly. β
Hearing this, Hu Benkang understood.
But what is the connection between this and Li Shao'an's deliberately concealed whereabouts, and even claiming that he is still trapped in Longtan Prison?
Before Hu Benkang asked, Minister Chen continued: "Dehou and Shao'an were the first to discover, but they may have noticed the enemy's ability to reach the sky, so they took action without reporting and fell into the enemy's trap, this personal action caused them to lose a lot of people, but it also brought us back a key clue, that is, ......"
Hu Benkang frowned, looked at Minister Chen intently, and listened quietly.
Minister Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's ...... There is also an inside line that has been infiltrated among personnel of my level, and if you can't use and clear this inside line, it is impossible to successfully pull out this stinger under Longtan Prison! And there are a lot of uncontrollable factors in Shao'an's plan, and the appearance of Omega Commando is one of them! And the only ones who can save the new force in this uncontrollable factor are you, the special service members of the Eighth Company of Xing'an! So...... After Shao'an made a plan, the ministry chose you! β
