Chapter 902 Nature
After a day's work, the psychiatrist returned home. Even now, he was still pondering the riddle Grecker had left him.
However, he still had no clue. Something that existed without any conditions... he couldn't find it.
"Sir, you're back? I've prepared dinner," the nanny said with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work. How is the baby today?" the psychologist asked.
"He's doing well, you don't need to worry. He's still resting, would you like to go see him?"
"Okay~" The psychologist took off his coat and then carefully went to the baby's bedroom.
The door opened, and a soft snoring sound came from inside. The source of the snoring was a very cute little baby.
At this moment, the baby's eyes are closed, long eyelashes tremble slightly, and a cute blush appears on his chubby little face.
The psychologist came to the baby's bedside and quietly looked at him.
A hint of pity flashed in the psychologist's eyes, but it was ultimately replaced by sadness.
His baby is adorable, but he has a disability. For some reason, the baby's right hand was born immobile, and there are also some indelible scars on his right hand.
This scar is strange; it looks a bit like a burn, but the baby has never been burned.
Moreover, the baby's mother died suddenly during childbirth for reasons unknown.
Everything happened without warning, catching everyone off guard.
The death of his wife and the disability of his baby were like two heavy hammer blows to the psychologist's heart. If it weren't for his strong mental fortitude, he might not have been able to withstand such a blow.
Fortunately, after some self-adjustment, the psychologist finally recovered. He no longer appears to be in a depressed mood.
Although this might seem heartless to outsiders, the psychologist knows that dwelling excessively on his pain is not a good thing. He needs to set an example for his patients; he cannot succumb to his grief.
Smack smack smack~
The baby's mouth twitched, making a sucking sound.
The psychologist smiled slightly and then quietly left the baby's bedroom.
After the psychologist left, the sleeping baby quietly opened his eyes. His eyes held a calmness beyond his years.
"God of Learning...you actually lied to me..." the baby uttered in broken sentences.
That's right, the baby was Grek, who was reincarnated by Dior.
As Grek lay dying after his assassination attempt, he encountered the god of learning in his own consciousness.
The god of learning deceived him, saying he could guide him to resurrection, and Grek believed him without hesitation.
But in the end, he was guided to be reincarnated.
After he was reincarnated, his past memories should have been sealed away. However, the mark of the Mad Fire within him gave him a second option.
"Should I become someone else without even realizing it, or should I retain my own consciousness and live another life?"
Hearing this faint voice, Grek, who had fallen into a state of chaotic consciousness, subconsciously chose to retain his memories and live another life.
However, retaining memories of his previous life comes at a price: Grek's new mother died inexplicably.
When Grek regained consciousness, he deeply regretted his decision.
Although he didn't have much interaction with his mother in this life, the grief of losing her deeply saddened him. Moreover, he vaguely sensed that his mother's death was related to his own decisions.
However, he didn't hate the Mad Fire, since it was his own choice. He now harbored deep hatred for the God of Learning, because the latter had deceived him.
But he's just a baby now and can't do anything. Revenge will have to wait until later, when we can plan for the future.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, the Dragon Girl was somewhat troubled.
After listening to Greck's ramblings, she couldn't sleep.
She's been staying at the hospital for the past few days, in Vic's ward. Although she could have stayed in a hotel, which would have been much more comfortable, she felt it was better to stay in the free ward to save money.
"We have nothing now," the dragon girl thought.
Every time she thought of this, the Dragon Girl would feel a deep sense of fear.
Images of herself and Vic being homeless on the streets flashed through her mind.
They will become homeless, they will die miserably in some corner of the street... in an extremely undignified manner.
“But even becoming a homeless person requires certain conditions.” A strange thought interrupted the dragon girl’s fear.
“I need to lose my last savings, stop working, and stop asking for help from others. Only then can we truly become homeless.”
The Dragon Girl paused for a moment upon thinking about this, then felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
Unexpectedly, becoming a homeless person was not an easy thing for her.
However, this comfort cannot solve her current predicament.
The dragon girl shook her head.
"Now is not the time to ponder philosophy; I need to plan for the future." The Dragon Girl forced herself not to think about these pointless questions.
But sometimes people can't control their thoughts, especially when they're feeling down.
The more the Dragon Girl tried to avoid thinking about those philosophical questions, the more those questions pursued her.
"So there's no such thing as an easy thing in this world. Even if I want to control my thoughts, there are conditions. I need to stop thinking about those damn questions!"
Anger surged within the Dragon Girl.
She didn't understand what could be done without any conditions.
"If I just stop thinking about anything, will I meet the requirements? Like a stone?"
The dragon girl tried to clear her mind of everything.
But she found that this was impossible. Because not thinking about anything required clearing all her thoughts.
But the thoughts in her mind were like a ladle being pushed down in water. If one side was suppressed, the other side would rise up.
Something that requires such effort to accomplish is certainly not something that can be done without any conditions, as Grek claimed.
"Heh... So that kind of thing simply doesn't exist! Everything needs conditions to be maintained! Greck's theory is fundamentally wrong! Only real things need conditions to be maintained! There is no such thing as something that can exist without conditions," the dragon girl thought with a cold laugh.
She no longer believes Greck's nonsense.
She rolled over in bed, ready to rest.
She was too lazy to think anymore, and she didn't care about the thoughts swirling in her mind. She simply let her mind wander, preparing to drift off to sleep.
As she continued to clear her mind, she found that her thoughts became even more chaotic.
Many thoughts kept stimulating her mind.
Whenever those thoughts surfaced, the Dragon Girl's heart would ache a little more.
They are just thoughts, yet they possess the power to cause suffering.
The dragon girl silently shed tears, feeling that even a peaceful sleep was impossible for her.
It was as if everything in the world was against her; she couldn't accomplish anything she wanted. Everything required certain conditions to exist, and nothing could be done easily.
The dragon girl's mood sank even lower. In the end, she didn't even have the strength to chase after those thoughts anymore.
But it was at this moment, when she stopped chasing those thoughts and let them flow by, that the dragon girl suddenly felt much lighter.
It's a strange feeling. It's a bit like completely giving up, but it's different.
The Dragon Girl could still see those thoughts, but she simply didn't have the strength to chase after them.
After remaining in this state for a while, the dragon girl had some questions. She didn't quite understand why those thoughts could still arise in her mind even when she was weak.
The dragon girl found it difficult to chase after those thoughts, but they arose effortlessly. It was as if they appeared out of thin air, naturally. Their appearance was so natural, and their disappearance just as abrupt.
It was as if everything was meant to be this way.
But when the Dragon Girl took all of this for granted, her consciousness completely ceased at that moment.
Perhaps all thoughts should be natural, but the interference imposed on them by consciousness makes them unnatural.
"Does something that exists naturally necessarily mean it exists without any conditions? That doesn't seem right, it's not quite there..."
At that moment, the dragon girl was suddenly startled. It was as if she had found something that existed without any conditions.
That thing can generate thoughts out of thin air...
But when asked to describe that thing, she couldn't.
The Dragon Girl's heart pounded wildly. She wanted to go back to that state of complete abandonment, but she just couldn't get back to that feeling.
"What exactly is that? Are there really things in this world that exist without relying on any conditions? The existence of thoughts is so natural... And is the thing that creates these thoughts the real, tangible existence that Greck is talking about?"
The dragon girl was confused. Even though she caught a glimpse of the real shadow, she dared not believe it easily.
The dragon girl tried to find that truth again, but she could no longer find any trace of it...
The next morning, the dragon girl woke up in bed. She had fallen asleep without realizing it the night before. But she hadn't slept soundly, because even in her dreams, she seemed to be constantly searching. So when she woke up, she still felt very tired.
After she got up, she looked at Vic beside her.
Vic was in a daze at the moment, seemingly having woken up earlier than her.
The dragon girl opened her mouth; she really wanted to ask Vic if he had found that real thing.
But when the words were about to come out, she began to succumb to reality.
"I'm going to book the tickets today. You also have to attend a congressional meeting, so remember to prepare your speech. You might need to give a speech on stage... If you don't have any ideas, I can write it for you, and you can just read it."
"This opportunity is very important to you. Even if you fail, you've still had the chance to shine. I hope you can do your best."
Vic turned to the dragon girl and smiled. "Don't worry, I already have a plan in mind."
"Hmm..." The dragon girl nodded as well.
The two looked at each other for a while, but ultimately said nothing more.
The Dragon Girl went out to book tickets.
Vic lay on the bed, lost in thought. He had thought about it for a long time yesterday, but he hadn't experienced the same feelings as the Dragon Girl.
However, he did deduce many interesting things. He trusted Greck a lot, so he assumed that what Greck said was true.
"Anything that exists based on conditions is illusory."
Based on this fundamental reasoning, Vic discovered that none of the illusory existences can last forever, because they require the maintenance of certain conditions.
Just like even the most powerful and wealthy person in the world cannot escape death.
Because as time goes on, the various conditions that maintain his body will gradually become ineffective.
This applies not only to people, but also to the world they inhabit. The existence of this world is maintained by various conditions. If one day some of these conditions fail, then this world will cease to exist.
