Chapter 2709 Brainwashed Colonel
"Col. Song Guanghe is definitely not mentally ill. The Holy Alliance cannot make a mentally ill patient the ground commander of a resource planet. His memory is very clear, his mind is very clear, and his logical thinking is perfect. He firmly remembers everything in the past."
Zhuge Jinglun explained to Li Yao, "He remembered his youth and youth during the empire as a nobleman, his wife and three children, and even the entire process of the Holy Alliance's modulation of him, but he devoted himself to the way of the best, completely separated from his past self, and became a "good tribe".
"Talking with him is very interesting. I believe it will give you a clearer understanding of the Holy Alliance."
Li Yao met this "Colin Song Guanghe" in the deepest secret cell in the Third Institute.
The colonel gave Li Yao a very good first impression. He was a middle-aged man with a handsome, decent behavior, clean and simple manner. The hospital uniform that was wrinkled on others was as straight as a military uniform when worn on him, and even the button on the top was straight.
His expression was not as cold and ruthless as the Saint Alliance members above. Instead, he had a delicate and warm smile, giving people a very...warm feeling.
However, this is just an illusion.
Zhuge Jinglun told Li Yao that a nurse and a researcher had been deceived by this warm smile and died at the hands of Colonel Song Guanghe.
No one expected that he would kill him - nurses and researchers were not important people. Even if they were killed, he would not escape. Moreover, they did not abuse him, but took good care of him. God knows why he killed people for no reason.
Since killing two innocent people in a row, Colonel Song Guanghe's cell has been completely closed, and even the air breathing has to be filtered layer by layer before it can be transmitted in. The walls of the cell are unidirectional glass, and people outside can see it at a glance, but Colonel Song Guanghe cannot see the situation outside.
When Li Yao met Colonel Song Guanghe, he was putting his hands on his knees and watching a soap opera projected from the huge light curtain - a soap opera dedicated to housewives and aunts. It was full of chattering family matters and childish love and hate entanglements, and was always yelling and screaming.
He had no choice, and this was also part of the research. Zhuge Jinglun would regularly play these things with strong emotional stimulation to him every day, hoping to detect abnormalities in his brain waves.
Unfortunately, Colonel Song Guanghe was obviously focused on his mind, but his brain waves did not change at all, as if he was staring at a blank wall.
On the bed next to it, there were also some novels and poetry collections - Zhuge Jinglun didn't want Colonel Song Guanghe to come into contact with Jingnao, so novels and poetry collections were actually very rare paper products. The smell of books and ink brought a few veils of antique atmosphere to this small cell...
This is also a test.
Unfortunately, although Colonel Song Guanghe read these novels and poetry collections with great interest, it did not cause any touch to his ancient well Wubo's heart.
"Col. Song, I brought a guest, a real big man."
Zhuge Jinglun said to the cell through the notes transmission array, "He wants to ask you some questions. If you can answer it well, maybe I can consider improving your living conditions and helping you change to a larger cell."
Colonel Song Guanghe continued to watch for more than half a minute, until the two women with claws in the three-dimensional light curtain had a fight, then they withdrew their gaze, smoothed the wrinkles on their clothes, slowly got up, and put their hands on the one-dimensional glass.
Although he knew that he could not see the outside, his clear eyes still seemed to penetrate the sealed cell and wrap around Li Yao.
"Director Zhuge, just call me 'Song Guanghe'. The name is just a code name, and I have been no longer a 'colonel' for a long time."
Colonel Song Guanghe smiled and said, "I am happy to answer all the questions of distinguished guests, but there is no need to change the cell - you won't change the cell for me, you just want to see my angry look.
"Besides, this place is very good. We humans were just a speck of dust in the vast universe. For dust, this cell is already big enough."
Zhuge Jinglun and Li Yao looked at each other and signaled with their eyes: "See it, the Zhishan clan is so strange."
Li Yao thought for a while and said straight to the point: "Hello Colonel Song Guanghe, I am very interested in the Holy Alliance and the Way of the Supreme Goodness. I even want to seek other ways other than war to resolve the conflict between the Empire and the Holy Alliance. Thank you for your willingness to be open and honest and answer my questions.
"I saw you just watched a TV series involving male and female love and emotional entanglement. How is it? How does it feel?"
"Very nice, this VIP."
Colonel Song Guanghe still smiled and said, "The photo was very good, very interesting."
“It’s very interesting?”
Li Yao said in surprise, "How interesting is it? Can it touch your heart?"
"For example, we all know that ants can release some special substances through the waving of their tentacles, communicate with each other, and form a strict social system."
Colonel Song Guanghe said, "If we are ants, we can feel a lot of information from this substance. I can feel the love, hate, and love of ants, and the heroic and unyielding ants, and the passion and anger of ants. The confrontation between two ant colonies is like a war between two countries. Countless heroes and despicable villains will emerge, leaving behind countless moving legends and even a magnificent epic.
"It's a pity that we are not ants, but humans. So when we see the confrontation between two ant colonies under the big tree, we only think it's very interesting, but it's impossible to understand it. We don't care about the love, hate, and love, the heroes and villains of ants, the legends and epics of ants, right?
"By the same reason, now I watch these so-called emotional dramas composed of seven emotions and six desires, and watch these two female humans fight for one male human, just like you watch two groups of ants fighting, or two female orangutans fighting, 'very interesting', that's all."
If the other party hadn't heard the sound, Li Yao really wanted to whistle for Colonel Song Guanghe.
The Zhishan clan is indeed different from the lower-level Saint Alliance members. He has a very clear mind and has his own set of logic, which is not so easy to be "corrected".
"So--"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and asked again, "These emotional dramas cannot bring you any touch, what about you in the past? Dean Zhuge said, do you remember everything in the past very clearly, remember your wife and children, and even they cannot touch your heart? How do you view your past self?"
"Ah, I was the past."
The delicate smile on Colonel Song Guanghe's face remained unchanged, like a deep imprint. He shook his head slowly and said, "It was a dark period that was unbearable to look back on. I was bewitched by the demons, driven by beastly instincts, and influenced by the extremely crazy people around me. I was immersed in the quagmire of deep sin with them.
"At that time, I was greedy for power, obsessed with desire, flattered the strong, wagged the tail and begged for mercy; intrigue with my companions and deceited with each other; cruelly exploited the weak and even killed them without reason.
"I can kill my best friend without blinking in order to compete for the command of the family war team; I can also marry a woman I don't know in order to climb up without breaking my skills; I can even use the most extreme methods to train my flesh and blood to participate in the most dangerous survival trial, which ended up killing my youngest child.
"I was addicted to the halo of power and the pressure of power, and completely became a slave to the 'demon of desire'. The most evil time, I was eager to seek merit and even killed five hundred innocent villagers, pretending to be a member of the Holy Alliance to make military achievements. I had to do this because almost all the noble officers on the entire front did this.
"Sin, it's really an endless sin. When I think about it, I make people tremble and my heart breaks. I really don't know how I was in the past soaked in the black mud without knowing it, and I even feel like a fish in water!
"Fortunately, all the sins have passed. Master Sui Ye has made me realize the true way, and has also given me the opportunity to cleanse my sins from the past, so that I finally found my own peace.
"No matter what your identity is, I think you are a cultivator. Then you must be soaked in the quagmire of sin like me in the past without knowing it. I sincerely wish you can realize your own sin as soon as possible, get rid of this dark quagmire life, and find... your ultimate peace.
Li Yao's eyes twitched: "Ultimate peace? Could this be the reason why you killed a nurse and a researcher?"
"Yes, I feel the sin in them."
Colonel Song Guanghe said lightly, "More importantly, I see that they are still conscienced and are struggling in the quagmire of darkness. They want to cleanse their sins but don't know how to do it. So, I helped them and took them out of the sea of suffering and return to eternal tranquility."
"Don't you think doing this is forcing someone else?"
Li Yao said, "Including when you were captured by the Holy Alliance, you also used forced methods to brainwash. How do you evaluate this kind of forced methods? Don't you think people should have the right to choose what path they can take?"
"If a person wants to cut his artery, wouldn't you go up and 'forced' and kick the knife in his hand?"
Colonel Song Guanghe asked, "If you see someone hanging, wouldn't you go up and 'forced' to carry him down? If you see someone struggling in a fire pit, do you have to ask him politely and save him after you get permission?
"Liberty, what exactly is freedom? Should human beings really have the freedom to hurt their bodies, the freedom to absorb drugs, the freedom to waste resources and kill each other unscrupulously?
