Chapter 5072: Yuan Dagu: What

Gao Ban: "This one really… I watched the Nan Family Sisters first, then Infiltrator! After finishing the Nan Family Sisters, I was afraid Infiltrator might also be a high-start, low-end affair… but in the end, I realized I was wrong—Infiltrator was brilliant from start to finish."

Tengmu Yidao: "Yeah, even if I dug up every single memory copy I've ever seen, Infiltrator, purely in terms of quality, is absolutely among the top tier… and its story gets more brilliant the further it goes!"

Tengmu Yidao: "The first part is the most mediocre… but 'mediocre' here is relative! It has only one story, yet that single story already depicts human nature with extraordinary depth."

Tengmu Yidao: "As for the second part, I've always thought it's the pinnacle of the trilogy! It surpasses the first part in character development… especially the lighting and visual design—utterly masterful!"

Gao Ban: "I'm thinking about Ni Yongxiao… he left a very deep impression on me—calculating, family-oriented… yet strangely hard to read."

Tu Fang Shilang: "I think the most striking figure should be Han Chen… he's unquestionably the most terrifying character in Infiltrator! Han Chen sometimes acts like a greenhorn—organized crime, in his eyes, has emotion and righteousness, cold-blooded yet romantic…"

Gui Yanye: "No no no, I think Ni Yongxiao is even more terrifying. Han Chen said it well: you've never met a person like this—you never know when he wants to kill you or when he'll be kind to you… from this, you can see just how inscrutable Ni Yongxiao is!"

Luo Man Yisheng: "@Tengmu Yidao. Personally, I think Infiltrator 3 is the true pinnacle of the story! This part has an enormous amount of information and a huge cast… making the psychological depth of the first part the central theme once again."

Luo Man Yisheng: "If the second part is about the treachery of the underworld… then the third part is about the radiance of justice! Liu Jianming wants to be a good man—he craves justice in his heart, and he wants to grasp the light in the darkness."

Ai Er Nie Si Di: "Yet he's still a bad man!"

Ai Er Nie Si Di: "Chen Yongren is the most righteous cop—he believes justice is the law!"

Feicun Jianxin: "He just wanted to be a good man! What's wrong with that?"

Xiangchuan Bu: "Then go talk to the police! Why are you yelling so loud?"

Tu Fang Shilang: "Liu Jianming: Sorry! I'm a cop now."

Tu Jianmai: "????"

Tu Fang Shilang: "Damn… too many elements."

Tony Not the Richest: "Actually, I'm curious now… did Liu Jianming truly want to be a good man at the end? I'm still not sure."

Yuan Dagu: "He did want to! Though Liu Jianming never became a good man… I must say, the story of Infiltrator is a tragedy."

Yuan Dagu: "Not just Liu Jianming—Chen Yongren, everyone inside, at least the main characters… all suffered tragic fates, all in pain, all tormented."

Yuan Dagu: "Liu Jianming's tragedy lies in this: he wanted to be good, but he had no idea what being good actually meant! He simply tried to be good using the gang's rules—self-contradictory, so his failure was inevitable."

Tengmu Yidao: "!!!"

Liu Jianming: "…"

Xue Xiaxue: "Ultimately, he was a typical thug in his youth—entered the underworld because he loved a woman… did whatever he was told, went undercover when ordered! Back then, how could he know what being good meant?"

Xue Xiaxue: "But once he joined the police force… he climbed step by step—from patrol officer to inspector, then senior inspector… respectable job, loving marriage, favor from superiors, bright future… even more importantly, he gained others' trust and respect—something he could never get in the underworld… he didn't want to go back because being good felt so good."

Gao Ban: "Same if it were me… when the world just collapsed, if I hadn't been forced, I wouldn't have wanted to fight through those nine-dead-one-life anomalies… luckily, I joined Jiarugong Society early! Otherwise, I'd be screwed."

0????

Luo Man Yisheng: "No big deal? According to the memory copy the president sent, even without joining Jiarugong Society, we still won in the end."

Ai Er Nie Si Di: "But you died!"

Feicun Jianxin: "Yeah, doctor, you died so horribly."

Yaoguai Zhiyou: "The doctor was too gentle—he planned everything, dreamed of a perfect future… but in that perfect future, there was no place for him."

Batman: "In Infiltrator 3… Liu Jianming's dissociation developed from his cognitive dissonance. To him, being good meant staying as he was—cutting ties with the past. Accepting judgment and redemption was impossible… because it would destroy everything he now had!"

Batman: "Then he became obsessed—fought desperately to go clean. This state of Liu Jianming's is called cognitive dissonance in psychology: the violent conflict between 'I want to be good' and 'I've done bad things.'"

0............

Lelouch: "Tsk tsk—Chen Yongren's logic is normal logic… I don't oppose you being good—go talk to the judge! If the judge thinks you're good, then you're good… but Liu Jianming's logic is underworld logic: we help each other—you help me be good, I help you regain your identity!"

Lelouch: "If you're heartless, then I'll be merciless…"

Batman: "In the third part… Liu Jianming's personality split grew from his cognitive dissonance. He wanted to imitate Chen Yongren and catch the mole—but he himself was the mole. So… his actions became utterly chaotic."
