Chapter 330 Hero Idol Theory

Luo Binhan lowered his head slowly and glanced at himself.

"you said I?"

"There is clearly no other possibility here."

"Aren't you talking nonsense then? I don't have any grudges against Old Brother Mo, so what kind of hostility can I have towards him? I can't be jealous of his handsome looks, can I?"

Luo Binhan sat back in place again.He temporarily forgot about Li Li's unusual action just now, and just wanted to figure out where her strange assumption came from.

"I didn't say you were hostile to anyone, sir." Li Li explained, "You are hostile to the character 'hero'."

"Then what am I? The villain?"

"You don't have to assign yourself an identity to look at something else. You're more of an enthusiastic audience in terms of the dilemma we're in."

Robin Han pursed his lips.But Li Li looked confident.Still smiling, she said, "Heroes are a complicated question, sir."

"How complicated? Hitting little monsters?"

"When you say that, you are judging heroes in a certain way, but that is obviously not the only criterion. Sir, 'hero' is a very imaginative concept, so we must define it before discussing it."

Li Li's back left the wall.She started pacing the room, looking interested.Luo Binhan followed her with his eyes and saw her stretching out her hand to write in the air. The virtual ink blots formed words that he knew or didn't know.

"Let's consider this matter from its etymology first." Li Li said, "In some languages, the word 'hero' comes from 'protection', 'defense', 'rescue', we can easily see its and in other languages ​​it means 'initiated', which signifies some special—we might say divinely endowed—superhuman intelligence; and in your native language, sir, if simply from Its literal interpretation, we compare people to the essence of plants and the leaders of animals, that is to say the talents and courage of heroes."

"Does it have to be male?" Luo Binhan said deliberately.But Li Li was not taken by him at all, she just waved her fingers casually.

"Let's jump over some historical limitations," she said. "That's useless for the current discussion, although it's a useful issue in itself. What we're looking at right now is the combination of a hero's mission, talent, and After character, we still see that they have some... common flaws."

"defect?"

"They're not done."

"What the hell?"

"Let's put it this way," Lee said, "it's always easy to see two decent characters in a story. One is younger, heroic, with an unfinished business. And the other is older— — that doesn’t have to be old in real age, the real point is that it’s a completed form of something. These two people can have many similar qualities, but usually we only see the former as a hero.”

Luo Binhan was a little confused.He still doesn't understand what Li Ideal told him, but he hasn't lost interest in the topic yet.

"So, what is old age?"

"We have so many words to describe it: sage, mentor, hero, god...and if you ask me, I think it's just a kind of idol. I see you laughing, sir. That's obviously what you think of as 'idol' It’s not a serious word. But if you look at some of our everyday vocabulary, it has a much heavier meaning in the past.”

Li Li returned to the original wall.She leaned her back against the wall and looked at a hulking machine in the corner.

"When people use clay and wood statues to express sacrifices, it means that they are facing a stable image that will not undergo major changes, sir," she said. "Usually, it can only be the dead or gods. , perhaps some prototype of them once came to life, but they were always molded after that, after their destiny was completely terminated and finalized. Sometimes in some stories they were resurrected in some form— —Gods, apocalypses, relics, or old men who hide in secret, but that doesn't change the fact: the fact is that they're over. There's no journey to complete, no difficulty to overcome. So they Nor would they be considered heroes any longer. Sir, if we now deduce the matter in reverse, we can easily conclude that heroes are idols of unfinished forms. Through the journey of forms, they finally resolve the external crisis, or their own spiritual difficulties, until their mission is fulfilled. Then they will be transformed into some kind of idol.”

"You make it sound like it's like writing a novel."

"For some 'magic', the mechanism by which they work is closer to creation than to reality, sir. Decide where a character will be needed, and then decide who fits the vacancy - but not everyone fits .The most important place is always reserved for the 'hero'. It can be neither mortal nor god, always somewhere in between."

Luo Binhan opened his mouth sensitively.But Li Li raised his hand and said: "I know what you're thinking, sir. In some contexts we emphasize that there are heroes among mortals, and that's usually out of praise for some kind of contribution. But, just in my opinion It’s just a personal opinion based on the needs of the times.”

"Can you speak human language?"

"When we didn't need an overly prominent hero," Li Li said, "we began to try our best to promote that mortals are heroes. However, I still want to point out that 'emphasis' itself is an admission of the opposite fact. We It can be seen that Mr. Momolo and his race have many typical heroic qualities, which is undoubtedly the reason why the Alliance is keen to choose them as the prototype for the promotional film. Another advantage of them is that the lifespan of the Everbright depends on Their mental will, and therefore their journeys, are always long, which keeps them from being 'done' quickly. From all indications, I think that you like them, sir. I nevertheless To say—the journey must come to an end."

Luo Binhan looked at his toes, then looked up at her.He didn't say anything dry and cheap, and Li Li no longer had that confident smile on his face.

"It seems to me that you hate the end, sir." Li Li said low and softly, "The end of the hero, live, die, become a sage, or the opposite. I think that may not make any difference to you. You It doesn't matter how it goes—saving the world, accomplishing vengeance, or just a journey. The only thing you're resisting is getting the hero done."

She walked towards Luo Binhan slowly, stretched out a pale hand, as if to touch Luo Binhan's face.But she kept this movement in a suspended state, with a distance of a few centimeters in between.

"Kitchen comedy is a deconstruction of history and myth," she whispered. "Contempt, hostility, disgust... Wrapped in absurd words, real emotions can be invisible, but you know worship is a The nature of fragile life. This ritual has been everywhere since ancient times. Now, Mr. Upsilon is chasing his end, and if you are powerless to stop him, how can you expect to stop the bigger wheel? If everything There is nothing left, how long can you tell the joke?"

She withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, and slipped it back into the pocket of her coat.

"This is my answer, sir." She said calmly, "The information you provided is not enough for me to judge Mr. Upsilon's future safety. If you have more information later, I will be happy to help."
