Chapter 248 Good and Evil Black and White
"So... there is one person for every one meter of building height?" Shen Dinghai said in disbelief.
Ran Ran met his eyes and said, "Thirty-three dead people, this is data that the survey team can't find."
“That’s why Building 8 can never be built.”
Shen Dinghai still looked shocked, "Is this their revenge?"
"I don't think it's revenge..." Ran Ran said softly, "They just feel wronged..."
"Nephew, you have seen many ghosts so far. Is there any ghost that uses such gentle means to retaliate?"
Shen Dinghai was speechless for a moment.
"They just used the collapsed steel and concrete to express their grievances, because they were buried under this pile of things, no one knew about it, and even the clues to remind everyone of their existence were so obscure."
"I think their reluctance is so insignificant that it is almost humble."
Ran Ran raised her eyes, hatred flashing in them, "I have never seen such a frivolous 'revenge'."
Shen Dinghai saw that Ranran was angry and immediately stopped worrying about this issue.
"Now that we have found the victim, shouldn't we find the perpetrator next? There are so many girls, it's impossible that Sun Zhiqiang killed them all, right?"
Zhang Wei shook her head. "Looking at the degree of decay of the body, it can't be Sun Zhiqiang. The workers said before that this foundation existed before they started construction. At that time, Sun Zhiqiang had not yet come to the Shengxiu Building site."
Shen Dinghai pondered for a moment, "That must be the person behind Sun Zhiqiang."
"Sun Zhiqiang clearly discovered that the measurement data of Building 8 was biased and there were inaccuracies, but the people above him easily suppressed it, and even used promotion and wealth to silence Sun Zhiqiang. The subsequent murders by Sun Zhiqiang might have been instigated by the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Ranran unconsciously rubbed the gradually drying soil on his fingertips.
"Li Yang, Wang Laowu, Lao He, Sun Zhiqiang, and them are all victims."
“The perpetrators don’t need to say anything.”
Shen Dinghai opened his eyes wide with curiosity, "Then how do we find the specific perpetrator?"
Ran Ran sighed inexplicably, "It would be best if we can find someone, but I'm afraid there is no so-called specific perpetrator."
"If all evil could ultimately be attributed to one person, not just this matter, but the whole world would be much simpler."
Shen Dinghai had never heard anyone say such a thing before, "What do you mean...what if evil is not a specific person?"
Ning Wu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Evil will take root in the entire environment, with huge roots spread all over the world, even closely intertwined with goodness."
"Like a pair of twins, connected since birth, there is no way to separate the two. Later, people found that the evil one had a tumor. If it was allowed to grow, it would harm the good one, so people wanted to kill the evil one."
"But they simply can't do it, because they only discovered the truth that made them despair - if they kill evil directly, the good connected to it will also die."
“How can we eliminate and eradicate such evil?”
What Ning Wu said was not vivid, but the scene appeared in the minds of everyone present.
Good and evil are connected. People sing praises to good and hate evil, but they are also helpless against evil.
"Why is good connected with evil? Aren't good and evil opposites?" Shen Dinghai asked the first question in his mind.
Ning Wu curled the corners of his mouth, his expression was gentle, but his smile was somewhat ironic.
"Good and evil are in opposition, then it will be just as the little girl said, this world will be extremely simple..."
“It’s also incredibly boring.”
"Boring?" Shen Dinghai frowned, "Why is it boring?" Ning Wu smiled gently, "Where do you think all the joy in your life so far has come from?"
Without waiting for Shen Dinghai to answer, Ning Wu spoke softly.
“It comes from the differences.”
"If there is really only a simple opposition between good and evil, then people will inevitably strengthen the forces of good and eliminate the forces of evil."
"One day, evil will be wiped out by good."
Shen Dinghai frowned even more tightly, "Isn't this good? There will be no more injustice and evil in the world from now on."
Ning Wu reminded him gently, "Think again about the word I just said, difference."
"After eliminating evil, what will the world look like, and where will the world go?"
Shen Dinghai held his breath for a moment, "Without evil, everyone is good. Are you saying there is no difference? I still don't feel there is anything wrong with such a world."
"Wrong." Ning Wu curled his lips, "Without evil, there would be no good. Good can only be called good when it is contrasted with evil."
"Just like white is only white when it is contrasted with black."
"Completely eliminating evil is not as simple as eliminating the gap. You need to look further."
Shen Dinghai broke out in sweat on his forehead. "Without a definition of evil, there is no standard for good... Is this what you want to say..."
Ning Wu's smile became a little more genuine. "Yes, this way the whole world will go to two extremes."
"First, we will fall into a state of complete disorder, with no evil and no good. Then what is good and what is evil? All boundaries will become blurred. Ignorance and confusion will fill the whole world, and people will not understand what is beautiful, what is possible, and what is worthy of praise."
"Boring."
"The second is to strictly formulate the standard of goodness before the first situation occurs." Ning Wu smiled with his eyes curved. "But by then there will be no goodness. People will probably call it something else. In short, it is a set of behavioral norms covering all aspects of life."
"Everyone must live strictly according to this rule. After a long time, everyone will tend to be the same."
"Then the word 'individual' will lose its meaning, and will be followed by 'independent', 'thinking', and so on."
"Everyone is like commodities produced on an assembly line. Apart from their appearance, everything else is the same. What you see, hear, say, and think every day is all the same. Would you still find such a world interesting?"
"But that at least ensures harmony and peace, doesn't it?" Shen Dinghai subconsciously didn't dare to think too deeply.
Ning Wu pondered, "A harmonious but boring world... Anyway, I don't like it, and such a world..."
He grinned. "What's the point of it existing? It's like a pool of stagnant water that will never come alive."
"Does Mr. Shen want to live in a pool of stagnant water?"
Shen Dinghai was shocked by this. "I don't want to!" He gasped, then laughed dryly, "I'm just discussing the possibility with you, which doesn't mean I'm putting myself in it."
What a joke, he is a person who relies entirely on fun to survive!
Including following Ranran to see these strange and bizarre things, doesn't he feel scared and timid?
Of course! It was just like the first time I went with Ran Ran to deal with Jiang Yali and ended up meeting An An.
He was scared to death!
But he also knew that behind this huge fear, there was a trace of excitement and excitement for the magical things he had never heard of or seen!
Life is boring, long and difficult most of the time, but just for a little bit of fun, you can get through many long periods of boredom.
This is how people should live...
