Chapter 244 Ulysses' Classroom

"Good morning Professor Sean." As soon as I entered the gate of Jianbao University, I saw the old guard named Ben looking at him with a sunny and kind face.

Sean was a little surprised. This old man had a bad temper. Not to mention that he, a professor, even the principal, wouldn't give him a good face. What's wrong today?

He said hello casually and turned to the school. As the two of them trotted their shoulders, a stale and muddy aura poured into his nose.

Sean felt a little scared in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Ben's smiling face, but a terrible thought arose in his heart - this guy must have been symbiotic.

He was a little confused for a moment. He didn't know how long Ulysses' plan had been going on, nor did he know how many people in this city had been symbiotically wormed by him. The most terrifying thing was that the people who were symbiotic could not see it on the surface. If you really want to say that they had any common characteristics, that is, they were full of complexion, always had a sense of happiness on their faces, and had a particularly good temper.

But this will make the coverage too wide, maybe it's just that he is in a good mood today.

Sean thought, walking through the grassland on campus in a complicated mood and entering the teaching building.

Walking through the porch where the statues were erected, a figure suddenly stopped him. It was a woman, to be precise, a woman who looked a little decisive.

She was wearing a windbreaker, a men's triangular top hat, black suede high leather boots, brown hair tied into a ponytail, and a angular face with anger, looking at him angrily.

"Damn, you've been running all these days, and I can't find you anywhere! We agreed to contact each Friday!"

Seeing the woman in front of him, Sean looked confused and vaguely felt familiar with him, but after thinking about it carefully, he had no impression at all.

"John Smith, you're talking! Have you found the clue I want?"

John Smith Day, it was the mess left by that guy again.

Sean was speechless, this matter was getting more and more complicated.

He rubbed his eyebrows with some headaches, and he really didn't want to continue to play the puzzle.

He simply asked straight to the point and said, "Sorry, I drank a little too much last night, and my mind was not clear - who are you?"

The woman became even more annoyed when she heard this, "Are you kidding me? If so, I can tell you very clearly that I am not in this mood now."

Seeing that Sean still had a serious expression on his face, he could only grit his teeth and said, "Yulia Horns, a rational learning institution operator, we agreed to investigate Ulysses together a week ago."

"Oh, I remembered it." Sean "suddenly realized," but thought to himself, wasn't this John Smith a double-faced spy?

"What's the evidence you said?"

"Of course what Ulysses and his secret association are doing. We have agreed before that you, as the lord, have figured out their plans and conspiracies. In exchange, I can guarantee that you will not be implicated by him and will receive promotions and commendations from the society."

Sean nodded, "So you learn to know that Ulysses is doing something, so why don't you catch him directly?"

"I have already answered this question. Ulysses is a full member of the Society of Rationality and has many supporters. How could I arrest him unless there is conclusive evidence, unless it can be proved that he is indeed doing something that harms the Society."

Speaking of this, Yulia's eyes were already very wrong, "So what did you investigate?"

Sean was speechless. He didn't know that John Smith had taken so many tasks.

"Well, I'm investigating, it should be a result again."

Yulia was angry at these perfunctory words and laughed: "I knew you would say this. I have confirmed that Ulysses is in the academy today. You should go to him now and make sure to figure out this matter.

Recently, the limelight in the Sword Castle is very wrong. We must figure out what he is doing. If it is later, I am afraid that something will happen.

I still have something to deal with. After the matter is successful, go to Pig Head Bar to find Mr. D."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Sean looked at the departing back and was a little confused. He could understand why Yulia was so nervous. In fact, he had already learned some of the truth and was even more nervous than the other party.

OK, hurry up and figure out what the old man is doing. It’s never a big deal to be so hungry.

He thought of walking towards the lounge.

I found an assistant teacher and asked casually: "Is Professor Ulysses here today?"

"Professor Ulysses is in class and may have to wait a while before he will come back."

Sean nodded, asked about the location of the classroom, and walked over.

He was preparing for a sudden attack.

Before he could reach the door, he heard the sound of a lecture full of energy coming from the wall. After Shawn was reborn, he became extremely sensitive and could hear the content in the class clearly without getting close.

But what Ulysses is telling is the story of Arturis and the Twelve Knights.

"We have all heard of the great legends and legendary adventures of Arturis, as well as the Twelve Knights, and even among the classmates here, there may be descendants of the Twelve Knights.

However, as I said before, true history is always hidden under the vain and gorgeous appearance, and the truth of the story is often disappointing.

The kings, bureaucrats, priests, and even all those in power will always try their best to seek benefits for themselves. This is not a moral corruption or a distortion of human nature, but only an inevitable result of the selfish nature of biological creatures.

No matter under any social structure or in any government structure, the outcome is no different. The only difference is the difference between the name change and the political slogan…”

Ulysses's concept was as sharp and pessimistic as ever, and soon a student asked a question.

"Professor, if this is the case, is there no way to solve this problem? Can't we build a truly fair and just society?"

"There are still methods. I don't know if you have observed a creature like ant. In the social structure of ant, whether it is the high-ranking queen, or the worker ants and soldier ants at the bottom, each one is dedicated and will not obtain resources that exceed its own needs.

When disaster strikes, every individual in the ant colony will work hard for the collective benefit. No one is lazy, and no one uses his power for personal gain. This is a truly fair and just society."

A student's voice sounded, "But there are also privileged classes like queens among the ants!"

"That's right, but the existence of the queen is not a high ruler, but a great breeder. She will not issue instructions to the ant colony or exploit it. Her existence means reproduction. This is both its responsibility and its work. If the queen dies, the ants will not feel sad, nor will they hold a grand funeral for the queen. Do you know what they will do?"

"Eating the queen is like any other member."

"If a queen no longer lays eggs, then the worker ant will kill it without hesitation, instead of letting them do whatever they do as we humans do to incompetent rulers."

Another student asked: "Why can ants do it but humans can't do it? Aren't we more advanced creatures?"

"I am not a biologist, but from my personal point of view, high and low are just concepts given by humans. Similarly, the same is true for cleverness and stupidity. A smart official can use the convenience of his position to make billions of wealth for himself, while an official who insists on self-conformity can only live by force and may even be ridiculed as stupid by his colleagues.

It can be seen that for a group, individual intelligence is sometimes not a good thing.”

A student asked a little dissatisfied: "But without smart scientists, how can our technology develop?"

Ulysses smiled, "Many people always confuse cleverness with knowledge, and confuse cunning with wisdom. Scientists will never be smarter than ordinary people in making profits for themselves, or even more 'stupid'. Of course, the premise is that he is really a pure scientist.

Therefore, there will be a strange phenomenon of bad money driving out good money. Take our principal as an example. Do you know how he became the principal? Do you know what research results he has had?

No, nothing, he was able to become the principal simply because he was the son of Count Ryan and had once given an expensive gift of 12,000 pounds to the Minister of Education.

This shocked the students, and even a brief silence was created. This inside story was certainly not an absolute secret. People knew about the exchange of interests between some high-ranking officials and nobles, but when they spoke it casually, there was even a specific amount, it still shocked many people's chins.

Sean thought to himself that this old man really dared to say it, but this also indirectly shows that this old guy is probably about to start, and he no longer cares about that much.

He vaguely figured out some of the other party's ideas from Ulysses's words, but it still needs further confirmation.

"So if you want to build a perfect society, everyone must give up part of their freedom, or even part of their self. Only when all individuals have the same beliefs can a truly fair and just society be established."

A female student asked, "But how to do it."

Another student jerked, "Maybe someone may invent some kind of machine in the future that can fix human thoughts."

Hahahaha! A burst of laughter rang out.

Ulysses didn't laugh, "It's not that there's no possibility, at least it's a solution."

The encouraged student couldn't help but continue asking, "How long does it take?"

"Who knows, maybe for hundreds of years, but it is also possible that we will have the opportunity to see this scene. If there is really such a machine, would you like to let this machine solidify your vision and unify your cognition? Abandon personal selfishness and work together for the prosperity of the entire ethnic group?"

This question caused silence again, but fortunately the ringtone broke the awkward silence.

"Okay, students, that's all for today."

When Sean walked into the classroom, Ulysses was left alone in the classroom. He was gathering his lecture notes. When he saw Sean walk in, he smiled.
