Chapter 303 The reason
It was early morning in mid-March 1998.
"Hmm~"
Lin Xi yawned and walked out of the room, wearing a loose Tang suit. He looked up at the weather, changed into cloth shoes, and walked slowly to the street like an ordinary person.
"Mr. Lin, good morning!"
The guy at the roadside breakfast shop wiped his sweat with a towel draped over his shoulders and shouted with a big smile, "Mr. Lin, what would you like to eat today?"
"Same old as always." Lin Xi found a seat near the door and sat down. He clicked on the current affairs news on the table. The screen popped up, and the first page was a headshot of Vanessa getting off the plane in Paris.
[US President Ken Masters officially declared Nest a terrorist organization...]
【Big Exposure! The human experiment data of Nest is revealed! 】
[Shocking news, it turns out that such a conspiracy was hidden within the former environmental protection organization...]
He clicked on it out of curiosity, and it was full of speculation under the clickbait title.
After Ken defeated Jill of the Illuminati at the National Fighting Conference at the end of last year, he became the youngest and most powerful president in American history.
Because of his previous experience of being captured, brainwashed and cloned by Nest, he cancelled many collaborations with Nest as soon as he became president, and then took the lead in destroying several Nest bases. Nest's human experiments were completely shameful.
In particular, they snatched qualified and talented children from all over the world in the name of environmental protection and charity, and committed numerous bloody crimes, which directly caused Americans, who originally had a very good impression of Yinnest, to change 180 degrees.
Of course, for the chaebol, the most important thing is to make Nest spit out all the benefits it had swallowed before. The Stroheim family retreated from Europe, and the Illuminati was unable to recover after Jill's death, leaving only Nest. This is the real reason for the war.
The W organization was also not idle. While Vanessa was canvassing for votes all over the world, she was also manipulating the organization to be on guard against the Zero Cannon in outer space, and she also distributed relevant information to many countries.
After three months of wrangling and attacking, all the ground bases of Yinchao were cleared out with almost no resistance. Only then were all the secrets inside revealed to the public. Now there is almost no other protagonist in the news.
No one knows what Igniz was thinking. All the ground bases of the Nest were breached, and a large number of cadres rebelled and fled. In the final attack and defense of the base, Zero defeated Ken, casually injured the pursuing K', and then boarded the aircraft into space.
At present, everyone knows that the leader of the Nest, Nestor, his stupid son Igniz, and Zero are staying in the fortress in outer space, and no one is willing to force the Nest into a desperate situation.
Ken wanted to land on the moon, rush into the fortress, and lead the society. Pah, the United States occupied the fortress, but the chaebols were not stupid. They had already gained control of the United States except for South Town. Who would still fight for it?
Lin Xi already knew the inside story, so he skipped several pages of news and stopped at the fighting special issue, reading the latest news in the fighting world with great interest.
"The Invincible Dragon is back..." He couldn't help but feel a little excited when he saw Takuma Sakazaki's name on the list of applicants for the East Asian Fighting Championship.
After breaking through himself and having his body repaired, the Invincible Dragon, who had been dormant for several years, did not get the chance to make a move in Japan at that time. Now, after hard training, he has signed up for the competition, which should be quite interesting.
After all, Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami have signed up for the competition, plus a series of familiar faces from the King of Fighters games, it really feels interesting. While watching the news, the robot delivered the first breakfast of roast goose rice noodles to the table. He ate while watching the promotional video. The characters who appeared one by one in the video made him feel nostalgic.
A bald man with a height of over meters, very muscular, wearing a loose T-shirt and shorts, stood beside him, looking at him with strange eyes, and said, "My name is Yin, nice to meet Mr. Lin."
The same breath...
"Grotto Temple?" Lin Xi slurped the powder and looked up at the bald young man. "If you have anything to say, just tell me. I have a good relationship with both Master Wen and Master Wu."
Liao Yin was silent for a long time, then asked, "Why can't I see the cause and effect in you?"
"Hey waiter, let him order the food and I'll pay the bill." Lin Xi bit a goose leg and greeted the waiters coming and going.
In fact, the jobs of these waiters could have been completely replaced by robots long ago, but... employment is a big problem. The population of Hong Kong Island has exploded in the past two years. Every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and the prices of everything have doubled. Although the income is very high, there are only so many jobs.
In the end, the service industry absorbed the largest population, giving many people at the bottom of society the opportunity to make a living. Otherwise, if everyone received Comprehensive Social Security Assistance, it would take many years to complete the class transition.
Le Yin stood there like a wooden man, his eyes never leaving Lin Xi. The waiter called him several times before he came back to his senses.
"What would you like to eat, sir?" He looked at the waiter, hesitated for a moment, and ordered some food on the electronic menu.
Lin Xi finished a portion of roast goose rice noodles, picked up a pineapple bun, stuffed butter into it, and said slowly: "So, you can see the cause and effect in other people?"
"Yes." Liao Yin said in a low voice, "My friend Xiao Cui was beaten to death. I was very angry and hit her with a stick. I killed a bird. I saw the cause and effect of the bird and Xiao Cui. Why should others bear the consequences of their bad deeds? It's not fair."
Big guy with great wisdom?
Lin Xi understood, he had an impression of this movie. Cecilia Cheung's head was really a childhood trauma. The whole movie was actually quite confusing, but it ultimately said one thing, that as long as someone does bad things, karma will be created, and someone will suffer retribution, but the person who does bad things and the person who suffers retribution may not necessarily be the same person.
The more killing there is, the more killing it will cause, so we encourage everyone to do good deeds to interrupt the cycle of cause and effect.
Isn't this just stupid logic?
"Whoever kills your friend, you can just kill him and that's it." He was too lazy to argue with the little monk opposite him, so he gave a direct solution.
“But the evil consequences of my killing will also be borne by innocent people.” Liao Yin clasped his hands together, his face showing pain, and his muscles trembled as if he was enduring some unbearable pain.
Lin Xi swallowed the last bite of pineapple bun, took a sip of milk tea to moisten her mouth, and said, "What does that have to do with you? In the final analysis, isn't it the sin of the person who killed your friend?"
"He didn't kill anyone, so why did you kill him? If you kill him, someone will suffer. Go find the person who killed someone in the first place. That's boring."
"Mr. Lin has committed countless murders, but now he has no karma at all—" Liao Yin did not want to discuss the issue of karma with a person who had no wisdom and a heart of a bodhisattva, so he went straight to the question he wanted to know most: "I want to know, how did Mr. Lin manage to avoid karma?"
It’s already two thousand today…I should have opened another volume, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. Anyway, there is not much to write. The branch line of the Grotto Temple was dug before, so now I’m just filling in the hole.
