Chapter 647 Understanding and Human Nature

The audience thought that everything had been settled. When Xiaoyou was living a shameless and happy life with Shinichi, Xiaoyou suddenly said goodbye to Shinichi in Shinichi's dream.

When it was absorbed by Goto, it had a huge reaction in its body, but not feeling. It was a completely new world that was completely different from what I felt when I was with Shinichi. Suddenly, he obtained a lot of information and wanted to handle the internal information well, so he decided to temporarily cut off external information, and it would fall into a deep sleep, maybe a few years, maybe a few decades, maybe until he died.

In the end, the perverted murderer took Sakimi hostage on the rooftop, and Shinichi killed the perverted murderer. He wanted to catch Sakimi who fell down, which seemed to be a trap, but in the end he caught Sakimi.

Although the hand is still a hand, it has not turned into tentacles, has no eyes, and does not show whether Xiaoyou "wakes up", it has brought endless imagination to the audience.

"Why did Xiaoyou choose to sleep?"

The scene when Xiaoyou said goodbye hit Xu Yiru's tears and made her cry. She felt that the story had ended. Although Xiaoyou was not dead, she was just sleeping, the last scene also gave people rich associations, but why can't it end with a happy and reunion that made everyone happy?

Mo Mo also asked her this question. If it was a happy ending, she would finish it happily and then imagine the happy life of Xiaoyou, Shinichi and Rimi with Hime.

But when Xiaoyou unexpectedly chose to sleep, she fell into deep thought.

Why did Xiaoyou choose to sleep?

Why did the porter master arrange for Xiaoyou to go to sleep?

The first question is to stand from the perspective of Xiaoyou to think about why a parasitic beast with human nature makes a sleepy choice.

The second question is to think from the perspective of the creator, why Xiaoyou needs to sleep and what reasons does it have to sleep.

The story says that it wants to deal with the large amount of information it gets, and what Mo Mo needs to know is a deeper meaning.

First of all, it can be confirmed that Xiaoyou's sleep is not dangerous, nor is it a voluntary choice, but a voluntary idea of ​​exploration that he has developed besides survival.

Regarding what Xiaoyou is doing when he is sleeping, just from the story, it feels very abstract. In Xiaoyou's words, it means "it feels very pleasant" and "it is a world different from the real world with a new one."

Xiaoyou is a very strange parasitic beast. It has a huge curiosity, which drives it to constantly learn knowledge, understand human nature, and explore the world.

If you can understand this, then how could Xiaoyou not explore such a "different world"?

Just as Xiaoyou said to Shinichi in his dream, "Ah, it turns out that this is what you look like in your eyes." In the dream, the image of everyone Shinichi saw to Xiaoyou was different from what Xiaoyou saw.

To put it in a bad sentence, it is "there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people", and the world in everyone's eyes is different.

"Our understanding only has several points that can intersect, even if the same human constructs are constructed. If souls can be exchanged, we should be able to see and hear a world beyond imagination."

Shinichi is in a deep relationship of living together and fighting side by side, living together and dying together, and does not want Xiaoyou to leave him.

However, Xiaoyou hopes to see a more colorful world.

This is understanding.

After Xiaoyou was parasitized on Shinichi's right hand, they were both influencing each other, especially after Xiaoyou helped Shinichi repair his seriously injured heart, more cells on Xiaoyou's body were integrated into Shinichi, resulting in the more obvious impact.

Xiaoyou's influence on Shinichi is reflected in the fact that Shinichi's physical abilities, such as physical strength, speed, vision, and hearing, which are much stronger than ordinary people. Shinichi's spirit has also changed. Even if he is sad, he cannot shed tears. Sometimes he will unconsciously show ruthlessness, stronger, rational and calm.

The influence of Shinichi on Xiaoyou: Because Shinichi is a good boy who respects his father and is filial to his mother, gentle and kind, Xiaoyou, who had no feelings and only cares about his own safety, gradually became able to consider and help others. For example, when Tashima and Mitsuo fought together at school, Xiaoyou felt the murderous intention. Although it would not threaten his and Shinichi's safety, Xiaoyou considered that if Shinichi was not notified to stop him, Shinichi would be sad, so Xiaoyou still "conscientiously care about his other business" and notified Shinichi; and in the end, Xiaoyou woke up to save Satomishi, and when he communicated directly with Shinichi's brain, he said that at first he didn't understand that Shinichi, as a human, would be sad when he saw a puppy die. Later, he felt that a great advantage of human beings is that he can help other people or creatures, and sometimes even give up his own life.

This mutual influence can actually be regarded as a mutual understanding.

When killing Goto, Shinichi was hesitant and couldn't bear to attack him. He thought both sides were right and wanted to let him die. But then, he walked out of his own sentiment of the Virgin.

Because of understanding.

As a human being, he must protect his family, friends, and happiness. In the face of the threat in front of him, he must stand up bravely and destroy it, otherwise he will be the one who destroys it.

Human morality cannot be attached to parasitic beasts, or even to anything other than humans: wild beasts, nature. When seeing big fish eating small fish, it feels cruel, and when seeing old individuals drive out of the population and let them die, it feels colder, but all of these are their living habits.

From a human perspective, it is natural to think it is cruel and cold, but from their perspective.

Humans have not even been able to fully understand each other as their own populations, let alone understand other populations and natures that are simply inconsistent with language?

If Xiaoyou did not choose to sleep and continued to live with Shinichi, then it would lose its "parasitic beast" characteristics and completely become a "human".

This is not good or bad.

But if this is the case, the theme of "understanding" between different races in "Parasite Beasts" will be downplayed.

The reflections brought to people are far less intense than those of Xiaoyou who bid farewell to Shinichi and chose to sleep in the end.

Therefore, whether from the perspective of Xiaoyou himself, who is a parasitic beast, or from the highlighting of the theme of the porter's work in "Passitic beast", Xiaoyou's final farewell is a very important step.

In the comment section of dmfun's "Parasite Beast", countless people also joined the discussion on it.

"Netzsche wrote a book called "Humanity, Too Humanity" that uniquely dissects his views on the concept of "humanity". "Parasite Beast" is also a work with human nature as the subject, which uses a similar medium between humans and animals to explain the work's thinking about human nature."

"In "Parasite Beast", many characteristics of parasitic beast Xiaoyou are clearly bounded by humans. Xiaoyou is a creature that only suits the word "it" in Chinese. It has life, learning ability, evolution ability, but does not love. All actions it initiates are for survival: learning is for survival, evolution is for better survival, in order to prevent the host from dying (the death of the host will die together with it), it can give up seizing the head and fill the motivation of the heart, for its own safety, it can destroy humans without mercy, and for self-survival, it can feed on humans with confidence. If the thinking does not change to their perspective, it is difficult to understand all this."

"Humans are social animals based on collective units. As one of the parasitic beasts Tamura said, human power is great, and how small the power of a single organism is. Parasitic beasts have always been unorganized, unplanned abandoned existences. Each one is self-centered, and letting oneself live is what it does for its life."

"There is no way to know where this kind of life form comes from, and where it goes, is not equal with its single, reckless, and barbaric destructive power. This makes me think of how humans occupy the entire earth, develop countries, form languages, build communities, and invent tools... Above these, there is also the word "love". Whether it is maternal love, family affection, or love, the human heart is filled with the so-called "love".

"As a non-complete parasitic beast, nor a complete human being, a struggle character. He is a child of human beings, but he deeply understands Xiaoyou's thoughts. In fact, human beings are also an organism. All living things have their nature as creatures. Freud calls it the "self". There is only the consciousness of survival and is not bound by similar morality. His dilemma can be seen as the endless battle between the "self" and the "self". Both sides are hostile, and each side has its own truth, but both sides have to compromise with each other to maintain the balance of life."

"When we see those cold-blooded parasites attacking humans, and even develop from individuals to huge 'cannibal groups' implanted with political power, we will not hesitate to bring out our morals and laws to condemn such behavior. In fact, it is all for survival."

"In real life, survival itself is a cruel thing, a kind of act of putting self-interest first. This kind of self-interest includes the benefit of nakedness and benefiting people related to it. Only when all these are taken into consideration can you have the strength to "love the world". In this anime, this kind of self-interest that is not obvious in reality expands into a flat "unfavorable person, specifically for yourself". Perhaps in such comic methods, we can see the so-called "human nature" better." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Si, the novel is better updated and faster!
