"Death is nothing to me... and I don't think my death can pay for the crimes I committed."
"I just said that for a long time, I completely lost my ability to think. I even forgot about death. The only thing I was thinking about was how to escape Wen Zhong's electric shock, or how to get rid of the electric shock. Make it shorter."
"As the electric shock lasts for a long time, you can smell the smell of cooked meat coming out of your body, and you will also wonder if you are dead, and whether the world you are in is hell or human. This feeling... is too uncomfortable. ” ap.
"This state lasted until my father died."
"My father's death made me realize that from now on, no one would eat...the things they pulled out in order to save me from receiving electric shocks. In addition to all the evasive awareness around electric shocks in my mind, I finally There is another consciousness."
"Such a consciousness will take root, grow into a towering tree, and then derive other consciousnesses. The idea of avenging your father is one of them. In your opinion, hatred can blind people's eyes and minds. But in my case , on the contrary. It was precisely because of the idea of revenge for my father that I was able to slowly regain my sanity and my ability to think."
"But in life in the villa, the more you have your own thoughts, the more painful it will be, including anger or hatred. This is not because Wen Zhong has any mind-reading ability, but because when you have thoughts, you will have feelings, desires, and humanity. But the reality is exactly the opposite of these things. Resentment is long-lasting, you can’t get it, and you can’t let it go. This is the state after you have the idea of revenge.”
"I have indeed relied on this idea to survive until now. I have also been telling myself for a long time that I must let Wen Zhong personally experience what he calls the 'human domestication experiment'. .”
After venting aimlessly and releasing her emotions, Qu Lulu finally got back to the subject:
"I proposed having a child with Haijun. My original idea was to tie the waves to the same boat through the child. In my eyes, Haijun is just an ordinary and normal person, just like Xia Youdao and Zhou Xiaodong. How could it be possible? They kill people at every turn. But I never thought that the navy would kill people for the sake of children."
"Before becoming a mother, I didn't understand the psychology of being a parent. After having Xiaochen, my own thoughts have also changed. Revenge for my father... seems to be less important. What I want more Xiaochen grew up safely and lived an ordinary life, that's all."
"But as long as Wen Zhong is alive, this simple wish cannot come true."
"The navy said that his native family was not complete. Many experiences and memories he had as a child made him feel painful, and his younger brother also became a weird character. Therefore, no matter what, Xiaochen cannot have similar experiences with the two brothers. Since Wen Zhong is not going to let us go, we can only let Wen Zhong die."
"Of course, these are all things for later."
"On the day it was discovered that a bomb was planted under the car, the navy was excited and said it would kill Wen Zhong and Shi Ji, but after calming down a little, it fantasized about using money to solve the problem."
"So, the navy called Wen Zhong and said that he could give him all the Genesis and all the money. He just hoped that he would let us go, and we could treat him as if we were strangers and did what we did to him. You can also treat it as if you don’t know.”
"Wen Zhong said, 'Genesis was originally his, but because of the many years of partnership with the Navy, it is not impossible for the Navy to quit midway, but it just needs to help him kill someone, and then record a video and send it to him. He also said that is the only way. , he can let the navy go with peace of mind, and he can also let him take away half of Genesis' assets."
"The person Wen Zhong wanted the navy to kill was me. He sent the video of me... killing Vietnamese people to the navy, saying that I was just an executioner and deserved to die. Killing me would be justice for heaven, and there was no need for anyone to do so. What a psychological burden."
"The Navy was not fooled. He knew that if this happened
If he does, Wen Zhong will use this as a lever, causing him to gradually become one of the "domesticated objects". "
"At this point, the navy no longer has any illusions about whether it can get rid of Wen Zhong in a peaceful way..."
The hands of time are set back to that time.
After the "telephone negotiation" with Li Haijun ended, Wen Zhong immediately fell into distress.
To him, Li Haijun was just a pig or a sheep that he raised. He could kill and eat the meat when it was fat and strong. Who knows, before the killing started, two "undercover agents" were arranged next to Li Haijun. ” But there are vague signs of “unreliability”.
The reason why he thought Qu Lulu and Hailang were "unreliable" was not that these two people had done anything disobedient to him. It was just because with the birth of Xiaochen, he found that there was light in the eyes of these two people, which made him even more worried. What made him feel uncomfortable was that the eyes they looked at him were a little more gentle.
What the hell. The eyes of these two murderers actually started to shine with the light of humanity?
There is a problem, there must be a problem. It is very likely that these two people will no longer be under their control.
So Wen Zhong began to reveal to them his idea of "closing the net" and letting Li Haijun die in an "accident."
Wen Zhong originally thought that these two people would make excuses to make Li Haijun run away quickly. Therefore, he asked Shi Ji to steal a large truck with eight rear wheels, and also used a trick. As long as Li Haijun drove out, the large truck would send Li Haijun "on the road."
Familiar taste, familiar recipe. Although "accidental traffic accident" is simple and crude with no technical content, it is one of Wen Zhong's first choices for killing people.
Judging from the results of the historical eavesdropping, Lang Lang and Qu Lulu did initially intend to let Li Haijun run away, but they told Li Haijun all the details about themselves and Wen Zhong, which was a bit unexpected by Wen Zhong.
These two hundred and fifty trust Li Haijun so much, are they not afraid that Li Haijun will call the police and sell them all?
What's even more unexpected is that Li Haijun, a man of 250, not only did not call the police, but also vowed to kill him.
This is so...exciting.
In fact, Wen Zhong never really trusted Qu Lulu and Hailang, and he never really trusted anyone. His trust in humans was lost at a young age. To be precise, Wen Zhong no longer trusted anyone since the year his biological mother abandoned him and Wen Da.
Next, amid Wen Da's endless "domestic violence", young Wen Zhong began to think about "what is the meaning of life, what fun is there", "what do I want", and other ultimate philosophical questions. But he still couldn't figure it out.
Later, during the terrible abuse by his father Wen Da, Ruan Xingzhu actually said to Wen Da, "No matter how many times you abuse me, I will always treat you like my first love." This made Wen Zhong suddenly become very interested: What is the reason? Let Ruan Xingzhu do this?
It has to be said that Wen Zhong's thinking and exploration of ultimate philosophical issues have finally been refined from the abstract macro level to the concrete micro level. As an individual, if you think about the ultimate philosophical question from an abstract macro level at the beginning, you will certainly not be able to find the answer, but when you refine it to specific issues, it is completely different.
Soon, he figured out the essence of why Ruan Xingzhu is like this: Ruan Xingzhu has "something" he wants, and his father Wen Da can satisfy Ruan Xingzhu's desire.
It turns out that as long as you can satisfy a person's desires, you can do whatever you want to that person?
Li Yuzhen's sudden visit seems to further confirm this point. Even though she knew that her father, Wen Da, was a habitual domestic abuser, this woman kept coming back, not because Wen Da could satisfy her desires and give her "what she wanted."
The father beat the elderly and the children at home. The villagers had tried to dissuade the father from this behavior in the early years. But then, the villagers were like a collective blindness or a collective amnesia. They were concerned about Wenda's "habitual domestic violence" He completely turned a blind eye and didn't even think there was anything wrong.
The reason is simply that after his father Wen Da became prosperous, he satisfied the desires of the villagers.
These people's desires were satisfied, so what did the father do?
, what they saw and suffered will no longer be so important. Black becomes white, white becomes black, what does it matter?
Of course, it's definitely not possible to just satisfy other people's desires. Ruan Xingzhu listens to her father so much not only because he satisfies her desires, but more importantly, if she disobeys, she will be beaten more severely by her father.
Therefore, to make a person obedient is actually very simple: satisfy his desires, and if he still doesn't obey, beat him.
Sticks and carrots may sound like nothing, but when you open your eyes and think about it carefully, it actually works so well. If you want to do whatever you want to a person, you only need to know what his desires are, and then use the stick and carrot well, that's all.
Wanting something is a kind of desire, and fearing something is also a kind of desire - the desire not to want.
Wen Zhong may not know that he has unintentionally glimpsed the secret of human nature: human nature is composed of all kinds of desires, good and malicious, positive and negative, noble and low, whatever you want, , all are desires. The so-called manipulation of human nature is to use people's various desires to satisfy or dissatisfy them.
The "stick plus carrot" approach became an important basis for Wen Zhong to "tame" others and make them obedient in the future. What he didn't know even more was that this theory was the basis for the application of "Pavlov's Dog" and "Stockholm Syndrome".
At the same time, at this step, Wen Zhong also inadvertently completed the sublimation from micro to macro, from concrete to abstract in his exploration and thinking of ultimate philosophical issues: By studying the specific case of Ruan Xingzhu, he got a conclusion that is applicable to most people. The universal laws of human beings have perfectly completed the transformation from the particular to the universal.
