Memory Replacement (Sheng Shen)

In fact, when I first started watching PP, I watched it purely as a police movie. The endless criminal methods in it satisfied my curiosity. Seeing that the Holy Guardian killed Wang XX because of Shen Ye's evaluation of Wang XX [forgive me for not remembering the name of the supporting character], I was surprised and secretly happy that Xiao Gong really treated Xiao Shou differently [forgive me for being shallow at the time]. When I saw the Holy Guard killing Zhu Ye's friend, I actually felt very awkward and suffocated. I was embarrassed that the Holy Guard killed people, and I was holding my breath that Master Zhu didn't shoot at the Holy Guard. I think many people will have this similar feeling every week. When I saw the last episode, the relief and contented smile of the Holy Guardian before he was killed by Shenya, my whole body was touched, so I started to read twice, carefully reading every sentence of the Holy Guardian in it. Shen also said that the Holy Guardian became like this because of a turning point. When the Miko system became popular, people were classified by data, and people like the Holy Guardian could not be correctly recognized by the system and could not integrate into society like others. Just like a drop of oil in water, even if the color is the same, oil is oil and water is water. No matter how oil is decomposed, it cannot dissolve into water. The drop of oil of the Holy Guardian is floating on the top layer of the water, looking at the water from God's perspective. For some people, they are addicted to this sense of superiority that everyone is drunk and I am alone, so they become part of the cup, restricting the water. What the Holy Guardian hoped for, what he wanted, was not just to dissolve into the water. He wanted to break the cup and wanted the water to flow according to his own will. If PP is a textbook, then we can see the story of the protagonist struggling in a perverted society with emptiness of humanity. But it is a very immersive anime, and we tend to watch PP with the same relaxed attitude as watching anime, so many people began to not understand the Holy Guardian and began to despise the Holy Guardian, just like the water in those cups, trying their best to squeeze out the oil. They think the oil will pollute them and they will not be able to stay pure and clean. But how can water judge whether it is pure and clean? Water can no longer recognize itself correctly, because the cup is not a mirror. In the past, the water flowed through the mirror, either clear or dirty, and could be seen at a glance. But now that the cup has replaced the mirror, the water can only stay in the cup forever, thinking that it is clean, but in fact it has already slowly decayed from the bottom of the water. In PP, the Holy Guardian is like the protagonist in the books he likes to read, looking at this twisted world soberly, feeling pain in his heart, but no one responds. Because of the witch system, everything is so natural. People live their lives according to the arrangements of the witch, just like puppets. The trajectory of their destiny has been fixed, and they have no self. The Guardian was reading novels and philosophies, and he himself was the tragic protagonist in a novel. The Guardian's subordinates are representatives of people struggling under social injustice. They know that society is wrong, but they cannot correctly explore the source of everything that is wrong. They eventually turn into dry tears under the heat of the system. But the Holy Guardian saw the source, but could not shake it, and ultimately could not escape the fate of destruction. Compared to the Holy Guardian, Shen Ye is like the water under the oil. It is closest to the oil and is connected but still insoluble. And when the drop of water squeezes the oil out of the cup, the oil dries up, and the drop of water is also free, because the oil comes out with it. What is the purpose of the Holy Guardian, to awaken people who are manipulated by the system. Since Shen also gave up his identity as a criminal police officer, he has been freed from the shackles of the system, because his judgment of good and evil no longer relies on the system, but his own perception. What is good and what is evil? Can good and evil really be measured by data? Of course not, because the world itself is not either good or evil, so the system cannot perceive the "exemption system". The so-called system is nothing more than the brains and thoughts of a few people. They achieve the purpose of domination by deceiving the majority. Although there are many sober people among the majority, the overly comfortable environment has paralyzed their pursuit of freedom and individuality. Most of these people who are accepted by the minority are hypnotized by themselves and are extremely servile. Those who are excluded from the system and cannot be controlled are either destroyed or detained, or like Shen Ye's teacher, they protect themselves and hide in the world. After the teacher helped Shen Ye, he said that he would receive retribution, which was understandable. Shenya and Shenghu are like warriors who broke through the social system. They met and got to know each other, but in that context it was destined to be a tragedy. And the sparks they collided also ignited the hearts of more than one person, such as Yi Ye, such as Zhu Ye, and they will continue to affect more people. Those who died in order to dismantle the system became the fuel of the sparks, and eventually turned into endless fires that burned everything and ushered in the dawn. [I feel like after writing so much, I still haven't been able to express everything I want, so I'm scratching my head]

Soulless! I shouldn't believe you when you watch it. There's also BGM. The tear point is obviously very low, but I just can't shed tears. I originally wanted to write a long review, but PP really touched me too deeply. It touched my barely moving brain cells more than Ramen Tou, but when I wanted to type it out, I didn't know what to say... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I am pulling my hair out like crazy!

Speaking of which, Ye Shen and Bai Mao are really similar, but Bai Mao is more realistic. Hmm, I don't know. Anyway, the writing is very good, the aging brother Kao, the sorrow of Dan Dan...

Climb over with knives stuck in your body to meet the new blade... [Open the door and I'll bring you a knife rest!

I found that I was also obsessed with characters like Light Yagami who tried to change the entire world on their own. Although they were the Grim Reaper to many people, to me they were Don Quixote.

I feel so sad reading this article...
