Chapter 798
“I don’t plan to go see him. Just as you believe in him, I also believe he can get through this crisis—if he can’t even get through this crisis, then he has no meaning or value in existing.”
"What? Do you really want to watch my good brother die? You know, he's the one you chose. You've invested so much in him. Are you really willing to just watch him perish like this? To be honest, I don't want anything to happen to him myself. I really don't want him to die like this. But I always feel like you're hoping for his death; but then again, it doesn't seem like you really want him dead. Instead, it seems like you want to use his power to stop me. This feeling is really strange, but it also inexplicably gives me some motivation. I have to say, you guys really have some tricks up your sleeve. Oh well, I don't care what you think—this has nothing to do with me. Even if you want me to get involved, I won't care. I'm sure of that. After all, this kind of thing is meaningless to me, absolutely meaningless. If it were, I wouldn't be sitting here wasting my breath talking to you."
"I advise you to go see him. If you don't, the consequences could be unpredictable. I feel you should go, otherwise things could really get messy. Don't blame me for not warning you then, really, don't blame me for not telling you in advance—if things get out of control, it will be a real headache, and I don't know how I'll handle it."
"Like right now, I have a terrible headache. To be honest, if I had any other choice, I definitely wouldn't have chosen my good brother; I would have chosen someone else. Because I haven't seen the results I wanted from him at all, not even a little bit. He has really disappointed me, the kind of disappointment that comes with utter despair. I don't even know what to say anymore. I really want to know, what can I do to solve my current problem? My biggest problem right now is this headache, but I have absolutely no solution. That's why I need your help, isn't it?"
"But I always feel you won't help me. Because what you're doing now will only give me more headaches, not an inch of relief. I know exactly what your purpose is, but what can I do in this situation? I really have no way out, absolutely no way out. If I had even the slightest idea, I wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to you; I would have slapped you out long ago. Although you are a woman, and a beautiful one at that, you are of no use to me, utterly meaningless and without any purpose. But I also know that I need you right now—if I didn't, I wouldn't be here saying so much nonsense. The main reason I've kept you here is because you're good-looking, at least pleasing to the eye, making me feel a little bit better. As I told you before, the reason I went to such lengths to change so many things was to reverse those tragedies; and the reason I wanted to change those tragedies was simply because I was in a bad mood. Since my mood was already bad, wouldn't it be even worse if I didn't change those tragedies?"
"But I also know that once I change those tragedies, you will definitely come after me. I don't want you to bother me, so what should I do? I really have no other choice, truly. Your actions have left me helpless. I don't want to cause trouble, but I always feel that you are forcing me to. I really don't understand why you insist on doing this. I really don't want us to reach a point of confrontation, because that could easily lead to a complete breakdown in our relationship. I don't want to break ties with you, do you understand? A falling out with you would do me absolutely no good, but it seems to bring you many benefits. Yet you dare not truly break ties with me, because you cannot bear the consequences—although the benefits are tempting, the price is equally enormous. After all, everything is relative; the greater the benefits you gain, the greater the price you have to pay and the greater the risks you have to bear, that's an inevitable truth."
"If you can really afford that price, then it's a win-win situation, at least for you. But for me, it's not a good thing at all. It will only give me more headaches, and I might even lose my life because of your stupidity. Don't you agree? I think that's exactly right. The logic couldn't be clearer."
"No matter what you think, this is how I see it. In short, I will never change my mind, otherwise wouldn't I be joining forces with you? That's not what I want to see, I don't want to see that happen at all. That kind of thing would make me very tired, extremely tired, you know?"
"So, I don't want to get involved in this anymore, and please stop bothering me. If you insist on persisting, don't blame me for being impolite—I mean what I say, and you should know that. Stop bothering me; it's really pointless. If you continue like this, we'll only end up losing each other, that's inevitable, certain. I hope you can use your brains and stop thinking about bothering me all the time, because it's meaningless, worthless, do you understand? Absolutely no meaning or value whatsoever. You might think that if I keep nagging like this, I'll get impatient and just turn around and leave. But you're overthinking it—since I'm here, I will never leave because I'm impatient." "If I just leave like this, wouldn't I have come all this way for nothing? I've been here for so long, done so much; if I give up now, wouldn't all my previous efforts be wasted? That's called sunk cost. Besides, there are still many things waiting for me to change. If I don't do those things, no one else will. You should all understand that. I have to do this; I have no other choice. I hope you can understand. If you don't understand, that would be incredibly disappointing, utterly disappointing. Sigh, honestly, this is a painful and unacceptable situation, but I have no choice but to accept it because there's no other way. It's all your fault for being so foolish."
"What you're saying is just your own opinion. Nobody knows the truth of the matter. You should understand that yourself, so you don't keep babbling on and on."
"You're right, I should know all these principles. But why should I know so much nonsense? I don't want to say so much nonsense either. To put it another way, it's your stupidity that made me realize you're much stupider than I imagined. I came here to help you; if you had just done what I said, you would definitely have gotten better results. But what have you done? One by one, you keep coming here to bother me, giving me a splitting headache, yet I'm helpless—after all, you came to me of your own accord, and I can't just ignore you completely. I can only use this rambling way to tell you to get lost and stop listening to my nagging, because it doesn't benefit either of us. But which of you thinks that way? You just think I'm a nagging guy, but actually, I'm not like that. I don't want to break ties with you and kill you all; that wouldn't do me any good either, really none at all."
“I don’t want to do something that doesn’t benefit me at all, but what you’ve done makes me realize that if I don’t do it, you’ll keep bothering me. So, I guess doing this is somehow slightly beneficial to me?”
"For me, if I could just get you all to leave, everything would be perfect. But now it seems unlikely. You all think that with enough patience, you can persuade me to leave. But how is that possible? It's absolutely impossible, at least that's what I think. I hope you understand this. If you don't, it just means you've got your heads stuck in a door—really, if your heads weren't stuck in a door, how could you do something so stupid? How could things have gotten to this point, right? So, our conflict is actually very simple. If you were just a little smarter and stopped bothering me, it could be easily resolved. But I feel that you don't want to resolve the conflict so easily and insist on creating trouble for yourselves. And the trouble you create is basically just asking for trouble, you don't gain much benefit, you're just torturing yourselves, it's completely meaningless. Besides making you look very stupid, it seems to have no other purpose, at least that's what I think, it's completely pointless."
"You're all doing something incredibly stupid, utterly stupid. There's nothing stupider than this, at least that's how I see it. No matter what you think, that's how I see it. Whether you think I'm right or wrong, your actions make you all seem incredibly stupid, utterly stupid. I'm truly helpless with you, but I still feel there's a sliver of hope for you, which is why I'm telling you all this. I hope you understand what I mean: get out of my world and never appear before me again. That way, everyone's happy, and there's still a possibility of reconciliation. If you continue to entangle yourself, it'll basically be a fight to the death. I don't want to end up like that either. Really, this situation isn't good for either of us, not even the slightest bit." There's nowhere to go. Why can't you listen to advice? Seriously, you're completely impervious to reason. I think you're utterly pathetic, utterly regrettable, truly a pity. I don't want you to end up like this, so I hope you can be a little smarter, I hope you can use your brains a little, don't give people the impression that you've lost your minds. You really don't need to give people this impression. You have so much to do, there's no need for this. This feeling is really awful, and I hope you can understand this principle, and I hope you can comprehend it. This principle, you must understand, you absolutely must comprehend. If you don't understand, or rather, if you don't comprehend it, then the final result will only be a lose-lose situation, benefiting neither of you in the slightest, truly, without the slightest meaning, without the slightest value, truly utterly worthless.”
"I think it would be better if you had an extra head. That way, even if one of your heads gets caught in a door, the other one can still think, making you a little smarter, which would be a good thing for both of us. If you still don't understand, then I can't help you anymore—I've said enough, and I hope you can take care of yourselves."
“What you’re saying may be true, but it means nothing to us. We just want you to leave or take on the responsibilities you’re meant to have. Since you’ve come into this world, you should know what you’re supposed to do. I think you should be very clear about that, instead of saying these things here. It’s unreasonable and against regulations to cancel this responsibility. Don’t you understand that? I think you should be very clear about it, so why are you unwilling to admit it?”
"Why should I admit it? Why should I admit it? I don't need to do it at all. And it's meaningless and worthless for me to do it. So don't waste your breath here. Going on like this is pointless, really pointless. Absolutely pointless. Go find what you should be doing yourself, instead of asking me here. Remember, you should be looking for what you need to do now."
"For example, comforting my brother is what you should be doing, instead of continuing to nag me. It's pointless, really, there's no point in you nagging me. What you need to do now is very simple: comfort my brother and help him regain his confidence. Stop thinking about those things. Those things don't belong to him; they belong to other people. It has nothing to do with him. His task is arduous and difficult. I hope he can understand this. If he doesn't understand, then find someone who does. Anyway, I will definitely find someone who understands, absolutely someone who understands."
"If he doesn't understand, then let him die. To me, it's just the loss of a younger brother; it's nothing. Really, it's nothing, at least not something I need to care about at all." (End of Chapter)
