"Of course it's me or me..." Hao Ning thought for a while, "Bah, bah, all your organs are broken!" After speaking, he suddenly realized, "I see! You mean—"

"The Ship of Theseus!" Zhou Yuan thought for a while, "The classic Ship of Theseus thought experiment!"

"What are you talking about?" Hao Ning opened his mouth, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Yuan together with Liu Shuai. After Zhou Yuan became a "circle god", he not only talked about it, but also said something unexpected. matter. .

"A hypothetical question," Zhou Yuan thought for a while, "a ship that can sail in the sea for hundreds of years, thanks to uninterrupted repairs and replacement parts. As long as a board rots, it will be replaced, and so on , until all the functional parts are not the original ones. The question is, is the resulting ship the original ship of Theseus, or is it a completely different ship? This is not what Liu Shuai just asked you That question, replace all the parts of your body, are you still not you? If you are not you, since when are you not yours?"

"...It's so special..." Hao Ning frowned, "Where did you know these things?"

"Hehe," Zhou Yuan smiled, "Someone in the circle of friends will always post these fake posts to show that they are erudite, independent, and grandstanding. Do I know that these are weird now?"

"Aren't you just sensationalizing now—" Hao Ning thought for a while, but finally didn't say it.

"A Moments version of Baidu Encyclopedia..." Liu Shuai sighed, "That's what I mean. The body is still like this, let alone a part of the soul is replaced, of course it is more difficult to be discovered."

"That's right, you've finally begun to understand," Zhang Quan nodded, "Although the piece of a person's soul is cut off is not a lot, the total amount is even greater, so for those who practice magic arts, Still making money."

"Why is the total amount larger?" Hao Ning felt that he had returned to the state a few weeks ago, and he didn't understand many things. "Like you said, cutting the soul is a new method, wouldn't it be more troublesome?"

"Are you a hundred thousand why?" Zhang Quan never finished his "lecture" today, and was always interrupted in a bad mood. After thinking about it, he explained carefully, "The preparation work for Luohun is very important. Trouble, if you want to lose a person's soul as a whole, you need to do a lot of preparation in the early stage to let his subconscious fully accept the fact that there is no soul. This is why Lan Ruo needs to seduce Zhou Yuan a long time in advance and let Zhou Yuan say " You don’t need to wait for your own soul’. But if you just cut off a part of your soul, you don’t have to be so troublesome.”

"A penny-pinching thought experiment!" Zhou Yuan suddenly spoke again.

"I'm going to brother, what are you talking about?" Liu Shuai was listening with gusto, but couldn't help complaining after being interrupted by Zhou Yuan.

"You don't know the allusion to the penny-pinching?" Zhou Yuan stared at Liu Shuai with wide eyes, "Isn't this common sense that today's dicks must have?"

"Dian your sister..." Liu Shuai blushed a little, "If you have something to say, don't pretend to be profound."

"Hehehe," Zhou Yuan glanced at Liu Shuai, "I don't pluck a single hair. I'm talking about Yang Zhu in ancient times. He once said: If you want to forcibly pluck out a hair of my hair, even if it is beneficial to the whole world, I will not." Here. Later generations ridiculed Yang Zhu for being penniless."

"This person is really selfish," Liu Shuai nodded, "This kind of person should be ridiculed for being so selfish."

"Well, Mozi's disciple Qinzi has the same understanding as you," Zhou Yuan chuckled softly, "so I went to ask Yang Zhu's student Meng Sunyang, but Meng Sunyang slapped me in the face."

"Slap in the face?" Liu Shuai yelled, "This guy is so relentless and selfish, how can he be justified?"

"Don't tell me, you're still honest and upright!" Hao Ning also remembered this allusion, so he took over the conversation, "This Meng Sunyang asked Qin Zi, if someone said to beat you up and give you ten thousand gold, what would you do? Qin The son replied without hesitation, do it!"

"Of course... do it," Liu Shuai swallowed, and finally agreed.

Seeing that Liu Shuai also nodded involuntarily, Hao Ning continued: "Meng Sunyang asked again, if one of your legs is amputated, so that you can get a country, would you like it? Qinzi was silent for a long time and did not answer. Because he knows The next question will be to chop off your head, so that you can get the world, are you willing?"

Liu Shuai stopped talking, as if he was chewing on the meaning of these words.

"This thought experiment was later summarized as—" Zhou Yuan nodded, agreeing with Hao Ning's words, "As long as a precedent of harming the interests of others is set, it will spread from a hair to the whole body, from a person to the world, from voluntary From being voluntary to being voluntary, and finally using the interests of the world to support a very small number of people. The embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest, starting from depriving a person of a hair of interest."

"It's like someone met a liar who touches porcelain on the road," Hao Ning thought of something and said it to tease Zhou Yuan. It doesn't matter, as long as I can bear it, I am willing to spend money to eliminate the disaster. In the end, not to mention the loss of my own interests, it also encourages this parasitic behavior."

"Hey, don't laugh at me, I haven't been 'inspired' at that time..." Zhou Yuan said with a sigh, "The truth was summed up by our ancestors thousands of years ago, but we didn't listen to it at all. , It’s really like what Mr. Zhang Quan said just now, the answer is there, it’s just that we haven’t changed it.”

Hearing that Zhou Yuan used such an allusion to explain the truth of what he just said, Zhang Quan smiled uncontrollably and nodded slightly.

"What does this have to do with cutting the soul?" Liu Shuai was not very interested in allusions and historical stories, and he didn't bother to listen to these people's singing and singing, so he continued to ask.

"If it is said that taking a person's soul is cutting off your head and killing you, then taking only a part of the soul is like pulling out a hair of your hair," Zhang Quan said, looking at the rubbings on the wall. , "In this way, it can almost be said that the other party does not need to seriously consider the meaning of his own soul. Perhaps only a word from the other party, even if it is an unconscious sentence, can cut off part of the other party's soul."

"So the other party only asked Qi Li a word, and Qi Li just agreed casually at that time, and the other party cut his soul?" Hao Ning put together the whole thing, "In this way, it is really convenient. Dare to talk nonsense, after a few words, the soul is gone."

"You can't say that, under the principle of equivalent exchange, you have to satisfy the other party's desire," Zhang Quan waved his hand with a smile, "No matter what kind of temptation, the other party must use some way to satisfy this person's desire, that is to say, you can't Promises don’t count, this is the basic rule of magic.”

"So, the rules of this magic way are reliable in the world." Zhou Yuan smiled after hearing this, "I'm shopping, and I don't know how many times I've been cheated."

"Uh..." Hao Ning didn't expect Zhou Yuan to say that, and he didn't realize what was wrong for a while, "Don't be so angry, okay? Let's not talk about this, so the reason why Qi Li was cut off is because his desire can be satisfied ?”

"Hey, isn't his desire to do whatever he wants after he has martial arts?" Zhang Quan found a chair and sat down with his legs crossed, completely different from Zhang Chihang's usual demeanor. Xianghuo, what's wrong with letting him have this martial art? Don't you also have a similar ability by borrowing supernatural powers?"

"Me?" Hao Ning was stunned for a moment, "I thought I was..."

"You think you are the only one in the world?" Zhang Quan sneered.
