(Considering feedback that so readers didn’t understand, this Chapter contains more explanations.)
A person always feels happiest when approaching happiness. However, after truly achieving a result, they gradually beco anxious about gains and losses.
Hence, the essence of happiness is the sense of acquisition.
A person lacking money feels happy when they obtain money; a person lacking wisdom feels happy when they gain wisdom.
And the more knowledge and wisdom one possesses, the more they realize their own shallowness.
This is Wen Xishu’s way of breaking through.
Next, he will begin to unify with Yoshida Koki, breaking through the first human hole.
At this mont, Wen Xishu looked at the already vanished "doubt" and began to "mutter to himself."
"You should have realized that you actually live in a fake world," said Wen Xishu.
Yoshida Koki nodded:
"You are ?"
In Lisa’s eyes, their conversation looked like one person talking to himself, as if suffering from schizophrenia.
"I am , and you are you. You are dead, but I am still alive. I am playing you, and you are overshadowing ," Wen Xishu’s words were sowhat obscure.
But Yoshida Koki soon understood.
Wen Xishu continued:
"You should have discovered that your life cos with a concept of inevitable happiness..."
Yoshida Koki nodded:
"Yes, my life has been too smooth, without any misfortune. This world seems only to allow to feel misfortune for others."
"But I have never experienced the subjective feelings of misfortune."
Wen Xishu said:
"Because this world does not allow you to be unfortunate. Misfortune is quantified; once you have feelings of misfortune, a corporeal form of those emotions would be born around you."
"If a person does not doubt anything, they often beco happy due to rare ignorance. Thus, doubt is one of the sources of misfortune."
"That is why that woman appeared by your side; she is the embodint of doubt."
Yoshida Koki asked:
"I started to doubt my surroundings, leading to her birth... But why does she look like that?"
"Because of . I said, you are already dead, or rather, Yoshida Koki is dead. So the appearance of doubt is determined by , Wen Xishu," said Wen Xishu.
Yoshida Koki was not surprised to hear about his own death; he just chuckled:
"So, in your perception, or rather in my perception, beautiful won are all suspect?"
"Yes, beautiful won are all suspect. This suspicion is my innate wariness towards certain beautiful things. People like , once happy, feel sothing is wrong. Once a beautiful woman approaches, I wonder what she wants from . Probably because I have been so unfortunate before that I always feel undeserving," Wen Xishu candidly said.
"So you like this type of woman," Yoshida Koki chuckled again.
"If the world were peaceful, if I were absolutely safe... if I weren’t so doubtful, I might marry a woman who looks like ’doubt.’
Wen Xishu was also candid. After all, he had always been facing himself.
Yoshida Koki said:
"Well then, since you dared to appear, why not solve the puzzle for ."
Yoshida Koki, after speaking, nodded to himself. Then he turned around:
"Lisa, leave my room."
Lisa’s expression was strange; she didn’t imdiately act, but then Yoshida Koki said:
"I need you to leave my room. This is my desire at the mont."
Lisa nodded and finally left the room.
After closing the door, Koki began to formally solve the puzzle.
Or rather, Wen Xishu began to formally solve the puzzle:
"Koki, you are in a human hole. And I am an... explorer of the human hole."
"Human holes are very dangerous, with almost no chance of survival. No... more exaggerated than these words, almost impossible to survive. It can be said that exploring human holes is one of the most dangerous tasks I have encountered so far. To be precise, I survived this ti by sheer luck."
"Let first tell you about the characteristics of human holes. First, once in the human hole, you lose yourself, or to put it another way – forget yourself when the sense of incongruity is not strong enough."
"As soon as I entered the human hole, I beca you, starting to forcibly experience your happy life."
"At that ti, I couldn’t realize that I was ."
"My mory was temporarily missing, replaced by your mory. I desired what you desired, having the sa cognitions as you. I almost beca you."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I would feel the happiness you would desire and finally say that sentence at the critical points of my life: ’I am so happy.’
Yoshida Koki was now sowhat afraid of the words "I am so happy."
He didn’t interrupt Wen Xishu’s speech.
Wen Xishu said:
"You should have noticed that at each critical point, for instance, childhood, youth, middle age... as long as you say those words, a count appears on your palm lines."
"I suspect that if the count reaches three... I will die."
"In other words, your life is divided into several critical points. As long as you feel very happy at three of these points and say it... I, who invaded the human hole, will die directly."
Yoshida Koki said:
"So that’s how it is. So this is actually a way to kill you."
Wen Xishu laughed:
"This is just one of the ways."
"My biggest characteristic is doubt. I beca you, yet retained my doubt."
