Chapter 11 Don't Name Your Cattle and Sheep
The shepherds said, don't name your cattle and sheep.
Although it is an inappropriate metaphor, Li Yue feels that applying this sentence to himself at this time will cause the same trouble - knowing or giving the other person a name, from then on it will no longer be an object, but a "living" existence with personality and characteristics.
"Rockfeer..." Although the girl didn't know that Li Yue had thought so much, she still murmured with her own name.
Li Yue was silent, fighting with heaven and man in her heart - if she abandoned her and died here in the end, would it become an unforgettable nightmare?
So what if she let her go and she dies on the way to escape?
Li Yue thought about it and suddenly stopped thinking about it - her brain is a good thing, but it is not beautiful if she gets into a dead end.
This is not a previous life, not a human society, this is the Demon King City.
In the Demon King City, even "mercy"... is a privilege for the strong.
And indifference is also a necessary expression for the devil.
Of course, this does not mean that Li Yue will never save her, but... she will just give the choice to herself.
"Rockfeer, you are a thief, are you?" Li Yue made the decision, and the aura emitted by her whole person became much easier. "The thief... should run very fast and have his own survival ability, right?"
"Forget it, I don't want to know." Li Yue patted her head, thinking that she almost got wrapped in by herself again, "I'll open this iron door later, you can choose for yourself."
"But... don't blame me for not reminding you that even if you escape from the dungeon, you may not be able to escape from the Demon King City. At least I don't know how to get out..." Li Yue did not give Rockefell a chance to answer, "So once you are caught, you may die even worse."
Rockefell couldn't believe Li Yue's words, and his eyes widened and glanced at the key on Li Yue's waist.
"Before that... please wait inside." Li Yue said, wrapping Rockefell with her mind...
When Li Yue completely focused and blocked her imagination about the body, the prompt from the Demon's Illustrated Book arrived as promised.
【Analysis…50%…】
Very weak, very fast.
【Analysis is completed, Demon Picture Book contains No.666--Human】
Li Yue was shocked. He didn't expect that the species "human" would be included in the Demon Picture Book, or... in a sense, "human" is also a kind of demon?
And it is a strange number like No.666.
[Human; Distribution: everywhere/diffusion; Lifespan: 40-120 years; Habit: Life driven by desire, with a single starting point, but has ever-changing appearance/packaging in the process of realization; Hobbies: complex; Skills: multiple; Action prediction success rate: conventional 1.356%, known motive 73.84%; Weakness: Brain/Heart]
After reading the introduction of "humanity" in the Demon Book, Li Yue's feelings are hard to describe.
First of all, judging from the lifespan, the level of human development in this world is very strange - muskets and crossbows can be seen in the Demon King City. So from this point of view... should be similar to the time around the Industrial Revolution?
But he is 120 years old. Is this the influence of magic?
As for habits... Li Yue even wanted to start a gamble directly - Li Yue, who had just traveled through time, still has a sense of pride and identity as a human being. Although the Demon Picture Book has more words to describe the "habits" of human beings, Li Yue still subconsciously wanted to say something... Please forgive me for not being able to agree.
What is "life driven by desire"? Can human love, kindness, courage... be summarized in a word called "desire"?
Uh...it doesn't seem to be impossible.
Li Yue's brain hurts a little - as a trumpet who has been baptized by the Internet waves for a long time, Li Yue still wants to find a foothold in refuting, but he has to admit that the evaluation given by the Demon Picture Record is a bit accurate.
Love is desire, hatred is desire, one word follows the heart, summarizing good and evil...
Yes, I had to sacrifice the great god - as a time traveler, Li Yue has always had good qualities in common, so he immediately found arguments from the sages of the world he came to, and then he remembered Lao Tzu of the "Tao Te Ching".
Wuwei! How about it?
Li Yue probably only remembers my basic argument.
However, the second half of the sentence is "rule", isn't "rule" a desire? If you reluctantly classify it, you don't have the description of the devil's picture book.
Still suffering from uneducated losses - Li Yue felt uncomfortable all over, but she also gave up competing with the Demon Picture Record with great self-knowledge and focused on studying the descriptions in the following lines.
"There are ever-changing appearances/packaging in the process of realization", which refers to things like love, courage, responsibility, etc. - of course, the Demon Picture Book does not deny all the beautiful qualities for human beings, but summarizes them without emotion. Judging from the number of words it describes, it also affirms the complexity of human beings.
Li Yue looked for a supplement for a long time, but she did not take her thinking to another dead end again.
Needless to say, hobbies, skills, and weaknesses, quickly skip them. Li Yue is quite concerned about the "action prediction success rate" - after all, this is an important data confirmed in Fendis at the beginning. With a description of the new format, it is inevitable to take a few more glances.
After a brief analysis, Li Yue felt that his understanding should be fine - the conventional state naturally refers to the description of strangers by the demon's illustration. Obviously, it is more difficult to predict strangers' behavior than predicting the actions of monsters. It can only be judged according to the "common sense" of human society.
The known motive... refers to the conclusion drawn by analysis after understanding the object's "desire"?
73.84% is not very high, even lower than the demon wolf and the skeleton, but it does not break out of logic - after all, humans... are impulsive.
Confirmed that she fully understood the description of "humanity" by the Demon Illustrated Book, Li Yue then wrapped Rockefey in the cell with her mind when she was a child, and the Demon Illustrated Book also analyzed her status.
[Current object...Status: Health/Fear; Motivation: Survival...]
Is it the same as when I first came to Demon King City? Li Yue couldn't help but laugh at herself.
"Are you okay... how long will you wait?" Rockefell asked carefully, for fear of angering the skeleton soldier who suddenly showed strangeness in front of him.
"Wait, it won't be too long." Li Yue knew that there would be no powerful existence in the "vegetable field". In addition to humans, they were just some weak monsters, and there were even no monsters, so it didn't take much time...
What's more, you have to go to the vault, so you can't wait too long here.
After Li Yue thought about it, she was about to take a step, but suddenly she was shocked and found that she had forgotten something!
The Demon Picture Book contains "humans", so the transformation function should also be enabled?
Yes or no……
Li Yue quickly opened the "transformation" page, and found a "human" on it, and suddenly felt relieved - although there was nothing wrong with the brain's body, Li Yue still had the will to be born as a human, and of course she wanted to find her body again...
The transformation can be fine-tuned, which is enough to satisfy Li Yue's expectations. However, for insurance, Li Yue is still preparing to walk deep into the "vegetable field" and try a man. Maybe he can change it less...
After all, Li Yue was also a handsome guy before traveling through time, it was a pity that he gave up his body like this.
