[After this, the resettlement area government and Pluto Deep Diving Company will find many explanations for what happened today]
Liao Qi's calm voice was played on every sound-producing machine through magnetic fluid as the access medium.
[They will first say that this is a horrific terrorist attack, a cyberpsycho carrying out indiscriminate destruction, and a tragedy that should not have happened. They will argue from various aspects that the Icarus Liberation Front's actions are extreme, cruel, irrational, and inhumane. Instead of bringing tranquility and peace to the bottom of the resettlement area, this will only bring endless chaos - it seems that they have cared about the tranquility and peace of the bottom of the resettlement area in the past. 】
[Then, they will weave all kinds of exquisite words and use one beautiful logical loop after another to demonstrate how sinful our resistance is. Various opinion leaders, experts and celebrities will also be invited to add so-called credibility to their rhetoric. In this way, they took away all their own responsibilities, and even shamelessly stood in the same angle as the people affected by the disaster today, saying that they, like you, were victims of terrorism in the resettlement areas. 】
[In addition, they will also hire people to spread another voice. They will pretend that they also come from poor people and comment on our struggles from a so-called "higher" position. It is said that our resistance is full of ridiculous self-satisfaction and is simply based on impulsive emotional venting. It is said that our motives for doing this are not noble, we are just caring about our own catharsis. There is no precise plan written in the script, and no real ability to compete with the company. The process of resistance is just sacrificing one's life in vain, and it does not actually bring benefits to the real people at the bottom. 】
[Yes, these bastards would even show a little bit of fucking mercy to our cause. 】
Liao Qi's mocking tone was filled with irrepressible anger.
At this moment, the two human intelligence limit adjusters who were wrestling with each other in the temporary network also heard the voice broadcast by Liao Qi.
"Liao Qi is dead?"
Christie was shocked after hearing the news.
The computing power required to process this sudden incoming information was less than one trillionth of that of Christie's logic core. However, the moment she received this message, violent fluctuations spread throughout the entire emotional circuit, causing her to lose control of the initiative in this online battle for a few tenths of a second.
Fortunately, the guy who was fighting against him in this network also temporarily shook his control over the network battle because of this sudden message.
After both of them realized their gaffe, they adjusted their efforts to each other again and started a new round of confrontation.
"That guy Liao Qi seems to have fallen into a state of cyberpsychosis. Is this caused by excessive adjustments and transformation based on the Icarus path?"
Number 1 asked.
"How would I know."
After hearing the other party's knowing question, Christie responded angrily. Along with her words, the icebreaker in the network turned into a storm composed of resentful spirits, sweeping toward the other party.
"Ah……"
In response, No. 1 just laughed. Then he pulled the reins in his hands, and the Pegasus he was riding spread out its wings and emitted a bright and dazzling light, instantly eliminating the storm of resentful spirits.
"As a senior executive of Pluto Deep Diving Company, don't you know?"
There was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone, as if he knew something before the other person did.
"What on earth do you want to say..."
Feeling restless, before Christie could finish her words, a communication message from Pluto Deep Diving Company came through the internal line.
[Ms. Christie, a high-level adjuster from the Icarus Liberation Front is approaching. It has been determined that his mental index has exceeded the high-risk value and fallen into the mental uncanny valley. Please take action to prevent this disaster]
This message is signed by Wolfsbane Troopers.
But...the mental uncanny valley?
Christie immediately thought that those guys were playing some trick - after all, the boy named Liao Qi was a guy who had been enlightened by "Paradox" and showed no sign of madness. It's hard to imagine what he had to go through before his mental index deteriorated sharply in such a short period of time, and he fell directly into the mental uncanny valley.
But when she connected to the sensor of her body in the basic reality, she saw those people flying towards her - saw the Wolfsbane troops fleeing in embarrassment, and Liao Qi who was chasing them with almost fanaticism. After scanning, she found that the quantity and quality of his whole body were far beyond the limit that a human being could bear, and she confirmed the accuracy of this information.
However, even so, she still couldn't believe this - before leaving the Narcissus Plains, she had clearly warned him repeatedly that the Ascension Path Ikaros could not install so many external prosthetics on herself at one time. No matter how strong and tough the mind is, it is difficult to maintain basic humanity under such rough adjustments and transformations.
Why didn't he listen to himself?
At this moment, the recording left by Liao Qi before he completely completed the adjustment and transformation is still playing.
[If I am the only one who explodes all these conflicts in the end, then they will search out my life afterwards. They didn't even need to forge anything, just add a little bit of fuel and jealousy, and they were able to prove that I was not the savior, revolutionary, spiritual totem, or saint that the people called for... I was just because of my personal grudges with the company. Take this path of resistance. 】
[My resistance was not only barbaric and cruel, but also coerced countless innocent people at the bottom of the resettlement area. Those innocent people in this conflict - although I don't know how many there are, but I believe the number will make me feel guilty - should not have lost their lives so unknowingly, precisely because of my reckless Resistance resulted in them becoming so-called "necessary sacrifices." 】
[They will definitely say this, saying that the Icarus Liberation Front is also not a good bird. It's just taking the people as the price, ignoring the people who are still really alive for the sake of their own idealism. It is said that we are wearing a righteous skin, but in fact we are only resolving personal grievances - everything I did today was not to liberate the refugees underground in the resettlement area, but just for my mother who died tragically at the hands of the company's dogs. The father who was oppressed to death by them in the past is seeking revenge. 】
Speaking of this, Liao Qi's voice gradually became more passionate.
Liao Qi's mother...was killed by someone from the company?
Looking at the Wolfsbane troops rushing toward him, Christie suddenly understood.
Without even taking a second look at the Wolfsbane troops coming over, Christie, who was in the temporary network, suddenly raised his head.
She looked at the stars in the sky, regardless of the fact that the ice wall she had built was being eroded by No. 1. She allocated a lot of computing power to try to find clues about the other party's existence in the starry sky.
Of course, she found nothing - as a member of the board of directors, the other party would not leave such an obvious clue.
But she was almost certain that someone on the board of directors knew the real purpose of choosing the Nord resettlement area, perhaps based on the analytical ability after breaking through the limits of human intelligence, or some other intelligence channels.
This is why he arranged for the Wolfsbane troops to follow him.
"Ms. Christie, now is not the time to fall out."
In the online battle, No. 1, who gradually gained an advantage because of Christie's behavior, said this.
Then, while breaking through the opponent's ice wall, he continued:
"Understand? As long as we are still in the dunghill of the company, it is inevitable to be played by the other party like this. I bet that even if you interrogate those people in the Wolfsbane Force, you can't find any clues about the whole thing. Here, they have had any contact with the senior person who plotted against you.
"According to those directors who claim to be gods, after their intelligence surpasses that of humans, all they do is put rocks where they should be - without breaking through the limits of human intelligence. In this game, you and I Not even qualified to serve on the table.”
Number 1 seemed to want to say something more, but Christie, who looked over again, interrupted in a low voice:
"Shut up."
Along with her words, the surrounding temporary network domain was crumbling inch by inch.
Christie is being forced offline - even if this process will cause serious sequelae and allow the guy from the "Fire Stealer" to take advantage of the opportunity, she can't control it so much.
At the same time, Liao Qi's messages continued, and his tone became more and more excited.
[Then they will finally say that we should actually use a more civilized, advanced and sophisticated way to solve the problem - after all, in their eyes, all this should be business, politics, the operating laws of the world, and their Civility in the mouth... In short, it should not be a personal grudge. 】
[If you use personal grudges to cause social unrest, even if your mother died innocently and tragically at the hands of those scum, as long as your revenge brings new hatred, as long as your purpose is mixed with a little bit of personal grudges , then you are impure. They will also say that you should resort to law and morality to judge them. 】
Having said this, Liao Qi in the recording took a deep breath, letting rage brew in his chest.
Then, he roared:
[Fuck you, this is a personal grudge! My mother was crushed to death by them like a bug, so I just want to make these corporate idiots pay with their blood! There is no higher reason, the reason why I do this today is that simple! 】
Liao Qi's excited voice echoed in the ears of almost everyone on this level. It surges with their blood and resonates with their chests.
[Compatriots, the reasons for resistance are never too complicated to fit on a page! No one has ever stipulated that only those who have obtained a doctorate in TM or other resistance studies and understand the theoretical basis of TM or something are allowed to protest. In the history of human civilization for more than 6,000 years, the reason for every struggle is very simple - personal grudges! 】
[Look at the family and friends you cherish around you, look at them who have been eaten to the bone by the corporate system. Look at yourself again, in this era with the miracles of the abyss and dark web, you can't even meet the basic life security. There are also those cyber psychoses that they deliberately indulged, and the mercenary war areas they demarcated, using limited war as a tool for games and profit distribution... There is a blood feud between each of us and the company, and every one of us The gathering of people's personal grievances is the reason for our struggle! 】
[Those corporate dogs will tell you that I gained the power I have today by actively trading with the AI in the Abyss Dark Web. I will also warn you that no one can control this force. The essence of our resistance is to hold a nuclear bomb and detonate it in the center of the city, and then use your kindness to make you unwilling to detonate the nuclear bomb. 】
[But if you don’t detonate a nuclear bomb, nothing will change. So the important thing is – go blow it up. As for what will happen after it is detonated, that is not something you, an honest person who has been bullied, should reflect on, look forward and backward, and achieve nothing in the end. Explode, destroy, make them hurt, let them bleed, let them reflect, and then they will take your opinions seriously. Because there are always only two kinds of people in the world of those bastards - equal opponents and inconspicuous little people. They will negotiate with the former, but will always trample on the latter. 】
[Only by making yourself a dangerous person will they look at you. 】
[So now, I have made myself the number one dangerous person - I have prepared a bomb that is enough to sink the entire Nord settlement area. One gram of antimatter is used as a fuse to trigger a chain reaction in a geothermal power station. Their scientists can calculate the specific values and effects more accurately than me. But from an intuitive point of view, once it explodes, including Pluto deep inside, the six Olympus companies with branches in the Nord resettlement area will be reduced to nothing, along with their personnel and fixed assets. The trigger for this bomb is now in the hands of Booker Irvine, and he, like me, has a personal grudge against those corporate bastards. 】
[Counting from the end of this recording, my friend Booker will detonate in three minutes. You can choose not to believe it, or you can bet. But in short, whether you agree to the conditions announced by the Icarus Liberation Front, the resettlement area government and the heads of the branches, we will only wait for you for three minutes, and we will only accept "yes" or "no" An answer that leaves no room for bargaining. 】
[I sincerely hope that everyone can survive. If not, then I will wait for you in hell first. 】
[Farewell, Nord Resettlement Area. 】
At this moment, near the energy core of the geothermal power station, Booker silently pressed his watch after Liao Qi finished his last sentence.
In Hecate's calm eyes, the 3:00 on his watch jumped to 2:59.
"Obviously, I was strongly opposed to doing this before. I thought it was no different between human life and the company. I thought I was deceiving you. Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"
Hecate asked with interest, without any awareness of the danger.
Booker took a deep breath.
"Liao Qi is right..."
He said slowly:
"This is a personal vendetta."
After hearing this, an imperceptible smile finally appeared on Hecate's iceberg face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
"Angry and hatred...that's it."
