Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 21 Hidden Dangers
(I have a bad cold. I don’t know why the voltage is unstable after the snow in Hangzhou. The circuit breaker trips after I write for a while. Damn, this is stupid. Hangzhou has never seen snow before or what? It feels like everything has been greatly affected... Let me recommend Ma En’s daily life...)
Cultural fronts, memes, ideologies. It may sound high-sounding, but in fact it is closely related to everyone.
The language and folk language spoken, the habits of doing things, the self-awareness and theoretical homeland, the cultural front is simply the recognition and self-awareness of a certain cultural circle. It is specifically manifested in many factors such as country, language, folklore, painting, mythology, etc.
The failure of the cultural front in this regard means that there is no recognition in this regard. When a civilization uses the writing of other civilizations, speaks the language of other civilizations, and recognizes everything in other civilizations, then this civilization itself is no different from other civilizations. This is the consequence of the collapse of the cultural front. From an individual perspective, it may be understandable, just a change in living habits, but from an organizational and other perspectives, the collapse of culture is devastating.
Therefore, the cultural front must be protected no matter what. Regardless of whether an organization is based on race, concept, or ideology, culture is a must for them. The existence of industrial technology is indispensable, but when ideology and culture themselves are destroyed, then industrial technology is nothing more than a large colony that supplies high-quality labor and labor to other countries. If the foundation for which you strive does not exist, other things are nothing more than wedding clothes for others. The cultural front and the material front, one arm the body, the other arm the spirit, both are indispensable. No matter which side is missing, it will have fatal consequences.
Although Holy Light also pays attention to culture, compared with its excessively powerful strength, culture really seems to be dispensable.
Although he understands people's hearts very well, he always develops in a very unconventional direction.
Everyone knows that it is a certain idol or a certain organization, but they know nothing about the Holy Light and development concept behind them. On the contrary, the concept of chaotic world and entertainment to death proposed by the devil is popular and deeply rooted on various peaceful planets, and even in the sphere of influence of the Holy Light, this trend of thought has appeared.
In terms of the number of idol groups and influence, the Holy Light Faction is undoubtedly at the forefront. No organization has more people than them, and no organization can produce so many high-quality idols. However, in terms of specific influence and thinking, the Holy Light Faction is fatally inferior. For ordinary people, no matter whether it is a good concept or an idea, it is too far away from them, and there is no way to generate a sense of exact resonance.
On the contrary, in those war-torn planets or other extreme universes, the Holy Light faction was able to develop quickly. Those who had truly suffered and been tortured by demons quickly accepted the gifts from the Holy Light and threw themselves into the arms of the Holy Light. However, looking at the large amount of funds, lovely idols, and various bald men who came out of remote and cold areas, the Holy Light always felt that it had made some fatal mistakes. Although it had the upper hand on the battlefield, demon sympathizers and neutral organizations would always stubbornly stand up to protect the demons, which greatly troubled the leaders.
They are not crazy, and it is impossible for them to kill all dissidents. Although it sounds cool to be the enemy of the world, it is just the devil's idea. It is better to say that the devils want the Holy Light faction to go crazy and fight against the whole world. In that case, the loss of their own cultural ideas will cause the Holy Light camp to collapse and disband. They just want to see this.
Therefore, any idol or cultural trend that can accurately guide fans and audiences is invaluable to the Holy Light faction. This is true for novelists, composers, painters, and cultural researchers.
"That's why you asked the adults to come over... But anyway, personal protection is a bit too much."
'Um.'
Although the communication in consciousness disappeared, it does not mean that the two people do not exist. As conceptual creatures, both Sally and Angel can communicate in a kind of consciousness that is very difficult to describe in words. This kind of communication can not only bypass Li Lin's consciousness, but also cannot be captured by anyone below the level of God. After all, strictly speaking, the Great Demon itself is a vicious embodiment of the rules that can fight against the gods, so it is natural for it to have this kind of resistance.
As the screen-peeping duo who had been invisible in Li Lin's mind the entire time, lurking in the shadows of his mind, always protecting their master with a smile, they were still looking at the idol who was crying with joy with admiration, and in their consciousness, they revealed an ugly look that must not be seen by other outsiders.
'Another one has fallen.'
'Um.'
"I always feel like wherever you go, you'll always find some strange followers."
'Um.'
"I said, don't you have any ideas?"
"Because I am also a follower who was inspired by the adults?"
"Oh, I almost forgot... No! Why am I talking to you so leisurely now? You are just an enemy!"
The little girl, who had always been a low-IQ person in the celestial city, suddenly realized that she and a certain six-winged girl had never been on the same side. She suddenly shouted in the middle of the conversation:
'You are just a thief who stole fish! You somehow found out the name of the master and came here to be a thief, but the master doesn't care about you at all and uses you as a useful tool! I have read in comics and novels that people like you will not have a good ending in the future! A thief who descends from the sky will never beat a childhood sweetheart! Especially for a late-stage thief like you, there is no hope! Give up!'
"You are not my childhood sweetheart, are you? And I have always abided by the agreement of eternal entourage. I have no ill will towards anyone, and I have not done anything evil. My heart still yearns for light. At the same time, I will not beg my companions when I suffer. I just endure the malice from others and work hard for you."
"Huh?! Do you think my words are malicious?!"
"It is the embodiment of a concept that will distort all the rules around it as long as it exists in the world. What are you still talking about now?"
"How good is the Hollow Spirit?! How dare you tell me that your essence is just a shadow, and that you don't even have a real body! In this respect, I am countless times better than you!"
"Let's not talk about this for now. Senior Sally, don't you think there is a fatal problem with the defense system here?"
"How could that be? And why are you suddenly calling me senior?"
'The management system here.'
Looking at the girl who wiped her tears and vowed to be strong, Angel said in a vague voice:
"It's so easy to call idols out, and then let idols and fans meet so easily, without any planning, but just relying on requests, isn't this dangerous? "
"Huh? Where is the danger? This is the main entrance of the Holy Light Chapel, and there are adults guarding us. There are also various countermeasures in other places. How could there be any problem? Do you look down on the adults' abilities or what? If you dare to look down on the adults' abilities, I will throw you into the Kingdom of God and make you a crystal stone. I am serious. I will do this even if the adults scold me."
"No, I mean, if you call out idols so easily, it will be easy to cause problems, right?"
'So what went wrong?'
"For example, calling out certain idols and punishing traitors in the name of Holy Light... is that possible?"
"…Huh?"
Is there anything so dirty?
Listening to the filthiness among these intelligent beings, the Great Devil could not help but be stunned.
