Chapter 778 – 778. God’s Paradox
I’ve heard such a story.
Did you say it was God’s paradox? Probably so.
All the unreasonable things happening in this world.
They say that God has the ability to solve all of them but doesn’t do it, which is proof that God is a psychopath.
Or maybe I don’t have the ability to solve it. That is proof that God is not omnipotent and omnipotent.
As a staunch atheist, I saw that and thought it was plausible.
Because it made sense. To me, that sounded plausible.
However… Not now. I understood a little bit of God’s mind.
Only about 600 people. Humans on the Ark.
I am the one who provided them with plenty of food and saved them from all threats.
Therefore, I thought that everyone in the ark should be happy and live with gratitude.
And you don’t have to thank me for that. Because I didn’t ask for that.
But at least I thought I could live with satisfaction and gratitude for surviving in this damn world.
But no. When you sit down, you want to stretch your legs, and when you stretch your legs, you want to lie down?
The people inside the ark began to increase their demands one by one.
Of course… The good news is that it wasn’t such a barbaric and shameless request?
At least they are people who know about the real situation and how good their situation is right now.
That was the problem. They are logical.
I’m not just asking for something to be done.
We gathered people in the same situation and politely and politely made a request to Director Jeong.
That’s probably why Director Jeong and Seung-gyu told me this story.
If the content wasn’t worth listening to, they would have resolved it on their own terms.
“A woman?”
“Yes, a woman.”
At least Director Jeong and Seung-gyu will feel more at ease.
Because they are not in charge.
There is no need to take responsibility and worry about problems that cannot be solved.
You can just toss it to me, right?
That’s why they were smiling faintly.
They laugh and pass off their worries. It’s so obnoxious?
“It’s something that can’t just be ignored. Ha. This is true.”
What some people on the ark asked for was a woman.
A group of men who are having trouble because they cannot satisfy their sexual desires.
It was said that about 30 people from Fence and Castle gathered together and visited Director Jeong.
Their statement of position was said to be closer to a request or plea rather than a protest.
At least in Fence and Castle… Because there were women who tried to escape from labor by selling their bodies.
Therefore, they had the pleasure of using such women.
There was a way to solve it somehow.
The problem is that since coming to the Ark, productivity has increased extremely and the intensity of labor has drastically decreased.
Is it much easier to just do light work and come back than to prostitute yourself and miss work in return?
So there were no prostitutes on the ark.
That’s why those men also ended up in trouble.
“You can’t force someone into prostitution.”
“There is no need for prostitution. There are no luxuries and the work is not difficult.”
“If there are any women who have committed a crime, I will force them to do it.”
“Wouldn’t that be a bit difficult, right? Because you can’t commit a crime. I don’t know if you have a pathological kleptomania or want to kill someone so much that you ignore all the penalties. But it won’t be easy, since the people of the Ark saw the end of the man hanging in the central square. .”
The problem is that no crime occurs. That too is ironic.
Anyway, after hearing the story, I couldn’t easily come up with an answer.
Did they kill all the people in the world for no reason? Should I have left some outside?
It wouldn’t have mattered even if the man stayed.
You can change your gender and touch your body in moderation, right? I even erased my memories appropriately.
But that’s also funny. What crime are those people guilty of? It’s better to die.
“You don’t have to give me an answer right now, right?”
“That’s right.”
Yet Director Jeong keeps smiling.
I can’t believe you’re letting go of all your worries and putting on a relaxed expression like that.
Moreover, the same goes for Seung-gyu. It’s like the expression of a person performing Buddhist prayers across a river.
No… If you’ve made yourself an administrator, shouldn’t you be able to resolve these issues on your own?
They are bad people.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt a little strange looking at their attitude.
When these two smiled at me, it felt like it wasn’t the easy smile of those who had passed on responsibility.
What can I say? Did you feel like you knew the answer in advance and had me solve the problem?
“What is it? I finally realized it. You have the answer to this, but you passed it on to me?”
Director Jeong’s expression showed that he was correct in answering my words. The same goes for Seung-gyu.
I am indeed. Was it something like that? Did these people want to see my reaction?
“Do you have a good idea? I didn’t even know about it and thought about it hard.”
“It may not be a good idea. But there is a solution.”
“Ah. I wasted my time for no reason. Tell me. If there is such a thing, why do you test people like that?”
“I didn’t test it. I thought Seongcheol would be able to come up with something ingenious.”
“Me? Why do you think that?”
“You’ve always been like that, right? Seongcheol is the only person in my life who hasn’t been able to accurately identify people.”
Manager Jeong speaks with a smile as if it’s fun.
It feels like a teacher trying to teach a student.
“Is it a compliment? Is it an insult?”
“How dare you swear to my face? I’m not that brave of a person.”
“I think Manager Jeong can do it. Anyway, if you have the answer, please tell me.”
“Before that, Mr. Seongcheol, if you have anything in mind, please tell me. You may be able to refer to it later.”
“What do you think?”
Manager Jeong speaks with expectant eyes.
Seunggyu, who was next to him, also looked quite curious.
“Well, those people. How many people did you say? About 30? Anyway, I thought, should I just gather those people and make half of them women? Make them look a little prettier and have amazing bodies. Then, wouldn’t it be one of two things? Are you satisfied with that, or don’t say anything like this again?”
“Uhm…”
“That’s a bit…”
It wasn’t something that extreme, but the two people looked like they just listened to it for no reason.
Well, I don’t really feel like using that method either.
You’re making this sound easy because it’s not my job, right? Is this the harmful effect of desk administration?
“If you’re going to make that kind of expression, please tell me the answer quickly.”
When I said this, Director Jeong shook his head and said.
“There is no need to give an answer.”
“Yes?”
“Looking at things like this, Seongcheol has a surprisingly naive side. It’s hard to believe that he is the person who killed all the people in the world.”
At Director Jeong’s words, I looked at him as if asking what he was talking about, and when he felt the look in my eyes, he answered me with an expression that said it was no big deal.
“It means we don’t have to take responsibility for other people’s sexual desires.”
“Ignore it?”
“Yes. It’s normal to ignore it.”
“Then what are your complaints?”
“What do you know?”
“Isn’t that irresponsible?”
“No. It’s not irresponsibility. In fact, it wasn’t my responsibility to begin with.”
“Hmm… Actually, that’s true.”
“Is it true that there is only one complaint about sexual desire? People have endless complaints. If you listen to one thing, it is obvious that they will ask for everything after that.”
“What you just said sounds like an inner voice coming from experience.”
“Because I have experience.”
“Ah. Pence?”
“Yes.”
“Well, there must have been all kinds of people there too.”
Manager Jeong nods his head at my words.
Then he slowly opens his mouth.
“It is Seongcheol’s heart that will solve your needs. The ark here is Seongcheol’s. But there is no need to listen to every single one of those voices. You don’t die if you can’t have sex, right? And if you want to have sex, you have to look out for yourself. There is no need to listen to people gathering together like that and asking for something to be done.”
“Hmm… You are decisive?”
“If we are not decisive, the requirements will increase endlessly.”
“No, I mean… Ignoring it like that doesn’t make the complaints go away, does it?”
“No. Complaints disappear. That’s human. Being accustomed to the surroundings is the biggest advantage humans have. If you don’t do that, you get beaten up. It’s a human society. Be it laws, morals, etiquette…”
“Hmm.”
Director Jeong’s story from his experience was definitely worth referencing.
Well, there is no need for me to take care of sexual welfare. I was too soft.
“Why is Seung-gyu in such an accepting mood?”
“Because I’ve seen it too.”
“What?”
“Same thing now. Of course, I also had situations where men and women were swapped.”
“Ah…”
When I think about it, that’s true. Logistics Center and Cheongpyeong.
While going there, Seunggyu experienced the opposite situation.
Men who are lacking and women who have unresolved sexual desires.
Come to think of it, I see. I was worried about that too.
“Besides, when I was in Cheongpyeong, Jaehyun gave me similar counseling. Well, I think I’m doing well now.”
That guy from Gimpo. But. It must have been crazy and jumping around.
The women of Cheongpyeong that I have collected are all beauties that are rare in society.
There are a lot of women like that, but no one falls for them… It must have tasted like death.
It’s a good thing that he didn’t become crooked and stayed calm until now.
If you look at it that way, even though the way you act and the way you talk may seem odd, it’s more normal than you think, right?
“Okay. So the conclusion is simple? Ignore it?”
“That would be good.”
“Then you should have done that already.”
“I told you. I came to ask if there was another better way.”
“Hmm…”
Director Jeong asks me in a surprising tone as I worry.
“You seem to be paying more attention to the Ark than you think?”
“I created this place, so I think this level of interest is natural, right?”
“That’s true. That’s true, but… It’s not that easy for people to live together. All kinds of ridiculous things happen and there are many cases where the common sense I knew doesn’t apply.”
“Still, wouldn’t it be possible to control it to some extent with the number of people on the ark?”
“What? Mercy or fear?”
“Oh… I think it’s going to be another profound story.”
“Ugh. I don’t like stories like that either. Furthermore, I’m tired of worrying about that now.”
Manager Jeong waves his hands.
It certainly looks like that person has put a lot of thought into it.
For that alone, I think Director Jeong is a person worthy of respect.
Even though Director Jeong was the head of the cult, I think he would have done well in politics.
“Then tell me that. And… I feel something about today. About the Ark.”
“What is it?”
“You two can take care of most things without having to tell me. I think it would be easier for me to just watch.”
“Wow… Irresponsible…”
“No. It’s different from neglect. If an unwanted situation arises, I will intervene. But… I will give you a degree of freedom.”
“What do I do if I mess up?”
Manager Jeong with a mischievous expression.
This guy. They test it like this again.
“Are you asking that without even intending to mess it up?”
“No. That’s Seongcheol’s misconception. Ever since the days when the fence was a hill, I’ve always been thinking about running away if something goes wrong. I’ve always prepared a way to run away to a place where no one can find me. Fortunately, the results were good, so I was able to run away. I didn’t have to go.”
“That’s the secret to helping so many people run without problems. It’s surprising.”
“In the first place, you can only have peace of mind when you have an escape route secured.”
But I also agree with that.
Minimal safety. It is true that I feel at ease as long as that is guaranteed.
In this way, the story slowly moved on to less important stories.
In the end, it ended with a lot of small talk.
The two people left my room in the ark, and I sat alone on the sofa and thought quietly.
Ark. The last people left in the world.
If you think about it, these people will eventually die. I won’t use state regression for them.
In the case of Go Seong-yeon, they just use state regression and have sex, but I don’t know how much longer it will last.
Eventually, there will come a time when they all let go.
So… Like I said today, you can just leave it to those two.
There is no need to get deeply involved and there is no need to worry about every single thing.
Let’s just watch. That would be nice.
Just watching. As if I had become a god.
