Lucius smiled as he saw Dean's reaction: "We are adults so there is no point in lying. Don't you think that it would be a waste of time?"
"Yes." Dean was happy: "I can only guarantee that I am telling the truth. How do I know that you are telling the truth?"
"We might as well swear."
"Swear by the God of Light?"
"Of course not. The God of Light is a fake. There is no credibility in using a fake thing as an oath." Lucius spoke bluntly without the slightest trace of the monastery's style. "Let's swear on the things that we admire and respect the most. Whoever lies will lose the thing that they want the most, the wish that they want the most. How about it?"
Dean raised his eyebrows and looked at him for a few seconds: "No problem but you have to add two more. In addition to these two you have to swear by the name of the God of Light and the identity of the Monastery. You can't violate it!"
"I don't believe in God but I didn't expect you to." Lucius shook his head with a smile. "Fine, I'll suffer a bit. With these two, who told me to sit lower than you?"
Dean was noncommittal.
After the two of them quickly swore their vows, Lucius said, "As far as I know, Mr. Du's childhood wish was to become a doctor or a priest?"
"It seems that you have done a lot of homework."
"Wouldn't it be rude if I didn't know anything about you?"
Dean didn't pursue the matter. His information was sent to the hands of the Monastery by the Holy Church when he was appointed as the 9th elder. The details of the information were more than what he knew. But after all, information was dead. Life was alive. It would never stop. He said: "In that case, how did the Monastery cultivate you?"
"You want to know how the Monastery allowed a person like me to exist?" Lucis shrugged: "Of course they relied on their relationship. I would have been kicked out if they didn't have a strong relationship."
"Relationship with your father?"
"Yes." Lucis nodded slightly, seemingly unwilling to continue discussing this topic. He took the initiative to say, "Mr. Du also had a passionate heart when he was young. Why are you so heartless now? You should know that you can't shake the power of the inner wall. If you succeed then the possibility is negligible. But if you fail then you and the people around you will be obliterated. Even their families, wives and daughters will be implicated. Even if you don't sympathize with the ordinary people you should sympathize with the people around you. "
Dean frowned. His words made him uncomfortable. He had deliberately avoided thinking about it before. After all, he wasn't 100% sure about overthrowing the inner wall!
"When they followed me, they were already prepared to sacrifice themselves." Dean looked at him coldly: "There are many people in this world who aren't like you. You can do whatever you want. Many people want to live a better life, so they can only exchange it with their lives. What they are enjoying now is what they have risked their lives for. "
Lucis smiled: "Do you think such an exchange is worth it? They are using their lives to exchange wealth with you. What is the difference between that and a devil's contract? Moreover, with your ability you can lead them to a good life. There is no need to rebel. "
"What do you mean by rebellion?"
"You are calling it rebellion."
Dean quietly looked at him: "You also think that rebellion is not necessary. Then why did you choose to rebel? You went against the Monastery's arrangement. Isn't that a betrayal of the Monastery? "
"I didn't betray them." Lucius shook his head. "If I was afraid of death and didn't come, then that would be considered a betrayal. But since I came, it can't be considered a betrayal. Moreover, what I'm doing now is also fulfilling my duty as a missionary, advising you to do good. How can this be considered a betrayal?
"But you are not satisfied with such an arrangement, right?" Dean's eyes were deep: "You mentioned true and false. In my opinion, your behavior is false. You are obviously not satisfied but you don't dare to show it on the surface. That is hypocrisy!"
Lucis was startled as he didn't expect Dean to use his words to suppress him. He was silent for a few seconds: "Indeed, it is hypocrisy. But hypocrisy is human nature. As long as it doesn't hurt others then it isn't a bad thing."
"I never thought that hypocrisy is a bad thing." Dean said.
Lucis was startled once again. He wanted to defend himself but didn't expect Dean's words to be in vain. He frowned: "Hypocritical people in this world are always hateful. Our Monastery borrowed the name of God of Light but it isn't hypocritical. After all, no one can prove that God of Light is real. But at the same time no one can prove that God of Light doesn't exist!"
"We borrowed the name of God of Light to spread kindness, justice and benevolence! I think it has nothing to do with hypocrisy! "
Dean looked indifferent: "Indeed, no one can prove that there are no ghosts. The Monastery isn't hypocritical. Even if it is hypocritical it is good for everyone. People would rather like villains than hypocritical people. In the final analysis, it's not that hypocrisy is a vicious thing, but that there are too many stupid people. They can't distinguish what is true and what is false. That's why they are deceived and say that others are hypocritical."
Lucius was speechless. He felt that there was something wrong with those words and retorted, "Most people are just kind, not stupid. There will always be people who treat kindness as stupidity, but kindness is kindness. If everyone is smart, then there will be more people who do bad things."
"But what do you think the world will be like if everyone is a villain?" Dean quietly looked at him: "I'll tell you what will happen. Politicians will tear off the mask of the people and will use tough means to suppress the voices of resistance. The treachery of businessmen will be allowed by the law. As you said, the world is divided into true and false. The true is more terrible than the false."
He didn't give Lucius a chance to interrupt and said, "If two people are both very dirty, and one of them is wearing clothes to cover himself, the other is naked and allows others to see his body. Knowing that he is dirty, people will stay away from him to protect themselves. It seems that the cute part of villains is to warn others to avoid danger. "
"That's why people hate hypocrisy! However, if all the people who are wearing clothes take off their clothes and reveal their dirty bodies, what will happen then? You will find that most of the people on the street are naked. They are all very dirty, and those who are truly kind and honest are very few. "
"What will happen at this time? There is only one result. All the people who are naked will bully the few. They will enslave the good and honest people. They won't hide their ugliness and will openly break the law. Of course, at that time, there will be no law, because there are too many bad people. They will make the law. At that time, killing is not a crime, raping is not a crime, and everyone will openly release their true nature. At that time, do you still think that true villains are cute? "
Lucis was stunned and speechless.
He said after a while: "What you said is too extreme. It is impossible to happen."
"It is impossible." Dudian nodded: "Because everyone is hypocritical. Hypocrisy is derogatory. It refers to hypocrisy and restraining one's nature. Isn't it hypocritical? If it is, then know how to restrain one's instincts and nature! In other words, the first step of being a person is to start from 'hypocrisy'. "
