Chapter 28 Your Interests
"The world you see? Haha..." Hannibal suddenly smiled: "It sounds really arrogant, so what exactly are you?"
Hannibal asked this question again.
Ziliang shook his head: "I said, you won't understand. After all, you can't understand what this universe really looks like. If you use your current understanding ability to say, I belong to a part of this world. Of course, that was the past, and now, I am just a human being, and in some aspects, it's even worse than you... at least you don't lose insomnia."
"You can tell me, after all, you have only seen me a few times. How do you know I can't understand?" Hannibal said lightly.
"This does not require you to know much about you. Life between each dimension can naturally only understand the rules between their own latitudes, so the answer is right in front of you and you can't believe it."
“For example?”
“For example…this…”
Ziliang said, turning around and pulling open the curtain behind him...
At this moment, Hannibal was stunned. He stood there blankly, looking at the void world outside the window, after a long time...
"This is......?"
He reflexively wanted to ask, "Where is this?" but he didn't ask, because he knew that even if Ziliang said something, he could not understand what the word meant. There was even no such word in the world. After all, he could not imagine what words people would use to describe everything outside the window...
"This is the realm of void." Ziliang's voice pulled Hannibal's thoughts back: "A long time ago, people thought about what was outside of this world, and they couldn't imagine it, so they used this word to describe it casually. Although it was not so appropriate, I was used to calling it this way... After all, I used to floating here... for so long..."
Hannibal looked at Ziliang. He was a psychologist. He could easily hear what they were thinking in everyone's tone. So Hannibal clearly felt that the three words "so long" that Ziliang said... definitely meant an extremely long time, so long that it exceeded his imagination.
So Hannibal suddenly shook his head helplessly.
"It's true." He said: "...I have studied theology since I was a very young man. I have studied not only the "Divine Comedy", "Harry and God's Grace", but even all the books by Odingus. I have always felt that if I want to explore the true appearance of this world, theology is more practical than science. This is why I gave up medicine and instead studied the human spiritual world...
I now understand why you interrupted me when I was reciting the "Purgatory" of "The Divine Comedy"... It seems that you have known for a long time that no matter how humans fantasize about the true face of this world, it will be useless... Because we cannot imagine a world beyond our cognition, even if we take a look, we must pay the price of life, just like me."
"No...the reason you give your life is because you only have life." Ziliang corrected: "But if you have more bargaining chips, you will be stronger and more deeply understand the universe... and even beat him up!"
"What does it mean to beat him up?" Hannibal hesitated for a while before asking.
"It's literal meaning. I've beaten up before. Of course, my fate is not very good." Ziliang said and compared himself miserably: "Of course, in addition to the literal meaning, there is a deeper meaning, that is, you are not ordinary, you are a 'sin fragment'... or a B-level."
"Sin fragments?"
"Yes, it's just such a word. This universe is composed of various elements. It's not just light, time, weight, and other things that can be measured, but also many things that cannot be measured... For example, "sin". Of course, you don't have to go into the gradual second-class statement now. In short, you just need to know that you are different from ordinary people..."
"Ha... I've said so much, I seem to know what you want to say." Hannibal smiled and looked at Ziliang: "I remember you said before that you want me to join your team, right?"
Ziliang shrugged his shoulders and signaled that that's what happened.
"Sure enough..." Hannibal nodded: "Although you can't understand your existence, you should be something similar to some higher will. Then following an existence similar to 'God' seems to be a gift that all people who study theology dream of."
Hannibal said, then smiled slightly: "But I'm really sorry, I'm not interested..."
It was Ziliang's turn to be stunned for a moment. He felt that his pretentious speech just now was more solid than many religious leaders.
"It seems you are surprised..." Hannibal said lightly. Ziliang's emotions just now did not escape his eyes: "Indeed, under this situation, you are enough to bewitch anyone... But I said that you don't know me, for example, you don't know why I study theology... Haha, I'm not because I admire them, on the contrary, I'm just looking for a place where they are worse than mine...
Everyone is saying that I am an inhuman demon because I eat people... I never refute them because they are too arrogant and they always think that I am eroding my kind.
No, I just happened to store it in the human body, just like you.
What I pursue is enjoyment and aesthetics. I absorb knowledge, communicate with them, explore the stories they hide in the deepest part of my heart, and eat them... To be honest, that's just an instinct, so I don't think you have anything to attract me...
And what you said is, the real way of the world... To be honest, if that is what you let me see, then what I see has no meaning. The most important thing in interpreting a world is to enjoy the process of interpreting it, just like the pursuit of food is not just for the taste of the moment you eat, but the entire cooking process.
As for what makes me stronger and can eventually kick the butt of this universe and other things, haha, please forgive me for not being a rude person, I have no interest in those either.”
Hannibal said, even when he smiled, he could still clearly feel the gentleness, elegance, but also the feeling of keeping people from thousands of miles away.
"No, I know, you are at least interested in one thing..." Ziliang said suddenly.
"Is that so? Tell me."
"You want to eat me!"
