Chapter 842: Red (Ⅱ)
"It's really none of my business, but having said that, I was one of you after all. Even if I leave the church now, I still treat you as my own brothers and sisters. I can't watch you get into trouble, no Do not ask."
Josephine spoke with sincerity.
The Wasp looked at her suspiciously, and asked tentatively: "If you really have such a good intention, how about you hurry up and help us deal with those unreasonable college students?"
"No, Jenny, you misunderstood me."
Josephine smiled awkwardly.
"I came here this time, not to help you bully those big kids, on the contrary, I want to persuade you to give up the old witch's order, and stop worrying about the Perydon clan, just let the group Warcraft will fend for themselves, so you don’t have to get yourself into trouble.”
Disappointed by her position, the Wasp surged into anger and gave her a savage look.
"Josephine! You traitor, you never let me down when you let me down!"
"Listen to what you said just now, can that be called human words?!"
"It's fine if you don't help us, but you actually help outsiders. Do you really think that those few college students can destroy our mission?"
"Jenny, calm down and recognize the reality!"
Josephine couldn't help showing anxiety on her face.
"Pelidon has almost been killed, and few cubs and beast eggs have survived. In fact, your mission has failed. What's the point of staying here?"
"At least we can take revenge and bring the heads of those students back to the headquarters of the religious order, and report to the Pope, so as to avoid punishment!"
said the Wasp viciously.
"You'd better get rid of this stupid idea immediately!" Josephine said coldly with a dark face, "I came here in a hurry to stop you from doing stupid things!"
"I don't understand, those little kids, what are you afraid of!" The Wasp was full of disdain.
"Jenny! You have been hiding in the depths of the iron forest all year round, isolated from the world, and you don't understand how fast the outside world is changing, let alone how powerful the 'enemy' you wishful thinking is."
"The ignorant are fearless, you are talking about people like you!"
"Do you think that your opponents are just a few college students? You are wrong. Behind those students are their mentors, their elders!"
"A village girl like you who doesn't know the world, doesn't even know how deep the background of those young masters and ladies is! Is that something you can offend!"
"If you don't listen to my advice and kill those college students, you will deeply anger Midgard University and the colonial military, and you will avenge them at all costs!"
"If that day really comes, the old hag won't be able to keep you. Besides, you know what the old hag is thinking. She doesn't like you a long time ago. Instead of doing anything to protect you, she might kick you out as a 'scapegoat' to wait for the opportunity. Get rid of you so-called 'moderates'!"
"Think about it, Jenny! Instead of being flattering and becoming victims of the old witch's elimination of dissidents after losing your use value, you might as well think about your future now, let those college students go, and save some sympathy. See you later."
Josephine's advice comes from the bottom of her heart, but there are huge differences in ideas between her and Jenny, and it is destined that no consensus can be reached.
"Have you said enough!"
The Wasp interrupted her sharply, becoming more agitated.
"Josephine, the most annoying thing about you is your vulgar, philistine, selfish thoughts!"
"We maintain the living space of Peridon, is it for our own personal gain?"
"You are wrong! We do this not because of any tangible benefits to ourselves, let alone to please the Pope, just because we think it is the right behavior, just because we still have a little bit of ideals, and we believe in protecting species. Balance makes our world a better place!"
"Josephine! Your depravity is not limited to a lifestyle of lust, vanity, luxury and promiscuity. What's even more tragic is that your soul has lost faith!"
"Look at you now, you only have money, status, and interpersonal relationships that are used by each other, but what about your ideals?"
"In your eyes blinded by greed, is there even a little bit of lofty belief that transcends worldly interests and sacrifices your life to defend it?"
"No, you have nothing, you are just a walking dead endlessly pursuing wealth, power and pleasure."
"Take away these external things, and you are just an empty shell."
"If you think that selfishness is the nature of human beings, and that people should pursue excitement and pleasure endlessly in life, then on the day when you are old and decrepit, when you can no longer indulge in pleasure as you did when you were young, from the bigness in the eyes of others A beauty becomes an old witch, and no one will love you sincerely anymore, so how should you answer such a question—is it worth living this life?"
"That's a question worth pondering, Jenny."
Facing the stern questioning from the Wasp, Josephine's gorgeous face showed a touch of melancholy.
"The day I decided to leave the church, I also betrayed my own beliefs. Frankly speaking, until today I have not found a new belief that I can convince myself that can be used as a spiritual pillar. There is no such kind of eternal truth, so I simply gave up metaphysical thinking, just focus on enjoying the tangible happiness in life, and strive to grasp the happiness that I can grasp, and I live a good life like this.”
"You just mentioned the concerns about getting old. Indeed, if there is no support of a lofty belief and a great cause worth fighting for a lifetime, it is difficult for a woman like me to avoid a bleak end in the evening. One day, the social scene will close the door to my aging and fading me."
"But I'm not worried about that."
Josephine smiled brightly and became radiant and confident again.
"Do you know what I'm going to do?"
"From the time I earned the first money, I took out one-third of it and saved it as a trust fund. Over the years, every income of mine has been arranged in this way, and the fund pool has continued to grow."
"I can't even withdraw this savings myself, and it will only come in handy when that 'final moment' comes, when my will is executed."
The dying arrangements disclosed by Josephine made the Wasp feel inexplicably uneasy, and instinctively realized that she had better not get involved with this crazy woman.
However, for some reason, in the end, driven by curiosity, she couldn't help asking Josephine that question.
"What do you mean by the 'final moment'?"
