Perhaps it is the opposite sex, I think the essence of these Evil Land fragments is to keep us here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn clapped:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good, you have thought more deeply than I have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason I read this book is because the word 'mother' in it immediately caught my eye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Animals have males and females, there are significant physiological differences between them, yet humans seemingly have no such distinction...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But look, the clothing styles here still show two factions, one closer to our normal aesthetics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The other appears... delicate, charming, and cute. Though I find it unappealing, it seems many in this world enjoy it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I am wondering, is there no opposite sex in this world? What we've lost may indeed be the opposite sex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps there is a specific term, like male corresponding to female, and man corresponding to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn, like Wen Xishu initially, still had a headache. He pressed his temple:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The answer is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't figure it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe the answer is not important, after all, it's just a designation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it is not important. What matters is how to break free from here, how to detach from the rules of losing something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this regard, it seems only you, Mr. Wen Xishu, can do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu did not ask why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn directly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can see the synchronization rate and the world's dissonance.

Can I understand that in your world, there is someone of the opposite sex you love deeply? So much so that you loathe this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. I am very sure there is no such presence in my life. I don't need such a presence at all. But I do not accept my cognition being tampered with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I feel the same. But unfortunately, I don't have the motivation to change everything, so I gradually accepted this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I find the loss of that thing neither here nor there, but I hope I can accept it without developing a significant sense of dissonance to change everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu felt it was very contradictory. If the loss is neither here nor there, for someone without emotions, why not go along with it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu voiced his doubt:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you want to accept it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the beginning, the Ark... was not as cold-blooded as it is now, there was no such clear class distinction either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The captain gradually made people numb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The topic shifted, but Wen Xishu listened attentively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, the captain deprived the elderly of their benefits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone thought, the elderly, being old is already troublesome, it doesn't matter.
