Next, Su Mingan encountered many special situations.
People with inferior personalities in the Second Ring Road are discriminated against like pigs and dogs, and can only do low-status jobs. If they don't work hard, they will be accused of "malfeasance in duty" and "no sense of honor for the city and state."
Immigrants from marginalized areas, in order to prevent emotional overload, abuse psychotropic drugs that suppress emotions and become like a group of drug addicts.
Private smuggling of various drugs... makes emotional measurement even more confusing, and there are even behaviors that actively trigger other people's emotional overload to frame co-workers and colleagues.
The marchers holding signs demanding personal equality were arrested and shot by the android army.
A girl who longed to be an artist and had a beautiful singing voice was judged to have an MT personality and had to become her most hated intelligence agent.
When she saw the patrol team, she rushed towards her like crazy, wanting to hug Su Mingan's thigh and beg him to give her a chance to engage in art, but she was arrested because of her emotional overload.
"Please, I want to sing. I sing very well. I have liked singing since I was a child... Please give me a chance. 'Adaptability' does not mean everything. I can live a good life without being an intelligence agent." ." She shouted, but she was shot by the tranquilizer gun while crying.
...These situations that usually might not appear for several months suddenly appeared before Su Mingan's eyes.
And all this reached its peak when an assassin jumped up like a desperate drowning man with self-explosion bombs strapped to his body.
When he saw the crazy and desperate smile on the face of the self-destructor, Su Mingan felt the sudden desire for destruction overflowing from his body, as if a hand was tearing his chest from the inside, and the psychological pain was extremely intense. .
...What a nasty city.
...what a nasty resident.
He felt an extremely strong sense of disgust and powerlessness coming from the bottom of his heart.
Logically speaking, it is difficult for the world copy to affect his emotions. Under normal circumstances, his rationality will firmly suppress his sensibility.
But at this time, very inexplicably, he was actually feeling pain and depression from the bottom of his heart at the whine of this world.
...This is so wrong.
The lingering influence on Akto's body... actually reached this point.
The fire exploded in front of his eyes. He closed his eyes, his eyelids blocked the dazzling light, and the blue wheelchair barrier completely protected him. The self-destructing assassin who used himself as fuel didn't even scratch his cloak.
"Check it out." Snow ordered, his expression was ugly.
The city lord was assassinated in the area under his control. Even if he was not injured, he could not escape responsibility. It was a slap in the face.
But Su Mingan looked at Snow's ugly expression and felt that this was a show.
It was a play for him to watch.
He closed the pill box in his hand with a "click", already very alert.
At the end of the tour, at the joint Eden meeting that was like a party, Snow toasted him.
In the bright room, the tabletop was covered with white cloth, and on the floor covered with scarlet carpet, a waiter carrying a tray of dessert cakes walked softly.
Su Ming'an sat at the top, and Snow sat beside him. The fine wine shone like blood under the crystal chandelier.
"City Lord, today's inspection trip... is my dereliction of duty." The white-haired old man narrowed his eyes, his eye sockets were sunken, and the edge of the glass was glowing with golden light: "Please let me punish myself with three glasses of wine."
As he spoke, he drank a full glass of wine, his expression looking very guilty.
Su Ming'an tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his expression dark and unclear.
He looked at the apologetic Maurit Snow, and after a moment he spoke:
“...Since you have neglected your duty, then resign.
As soon as he said this, everyone who was laughing and chatting at the long table fell silent.
They looked at Su Ming'an above in astonishment, and even let go of the android in their arms.
In the eerie silence, there was only the sound of Su Mingan's fingers tapping on the table, and the waiter's footsteps were like cat steps, inaudible.
"City Lord, although I really want to resign and apologize, the Dawn System won't allow it." Snow laughed awkwardly and concealed it: "I am still in this position, so I can't leave easily. The Dawn System believes that no one is better than me. More suitable, that”
"Oh." Su Mingan responded and lowered his head.
"Perhaps you are acting too hastily. Although today, we see many residents resisting the Dawn System, this is just a deliberate misinterpretation by some groups. Their capital is not enough to support them in doing so." The adjutant next to him said: "Their Assassination is stupid and will only drag the city-state into an unrestricted war. I believe that the Executor will handle these people well, and they will not be enough to shake Dawn's dominance."
Su Mingan stared at the wine glass in his hand. The bright red light in the wine was as bright as fire.
"...How can their short-sighted eyes see the current situation clearly?" Some people on the long table agreed with a smile.
"They know too little, they are just a group of uncontrolled guys..."
"Perhaps we should build more shelters to deal with these potentially criminal entities..."
Su Ming'an suddenly raised his hand and poured out the wine glass in his hand. The wine fell onto the white tablecloth, staining the tabletop like a ball of blood.
Everyone who was originally condemning the residents fell silent again.
A solemn and gloomy atmosphere enveloped the bright hall. Participants with different postures made the scene look like the Last Supper sitting around Jesus.
As for the "Jesus" among them, Su Mingan placed the empty wine glass in front of Snow and stared at the old man's narrowed and smiling eyes.
"What's in the Molitor Snow wine?" Su Mingan asked.
His tone was calm, but he called the executive officer by his full name.
Others held their breath and stared at the table without daring to move. They looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.
Snow was still squinting and smiling, and his left hand was still stroking the mechanical cane.
"City Lord, human nature is greedy." Snow did not directly answer Su Mingan's words: "In the past, you gave them a piece of bread so that they could survive, and they would be grateful to you. But when they are full, they will not need bread. They will ask for more from you, and one day you will not be able to give them what they want, and they will start to blame you - and that is what they are doing now."
Su Mingan looked at him.
"So, they will use their ignorance to put it into practice to save the city that is about to collapse." Snow said: "The arrogant Dawn System will disappear under their hands, and the old rulers of the city-state should Die in the hands of pioneers for the people to usher in a new prosperous age and era.
This is the reason why they dare to use themselves as a lead to assassinate you. "
"But they can't even defeat their own stupidity." Su Mingan said calmly.
"Exactly." Snow smiled and put down the wine glass in his hand: "Just like the situation today... just for a pure will and goal, people lost their original wisdom and rationality and integrated into the city-state. In the midst of collective rule—this dissatisfies the free-natured.”
"It is meaningless to just pursue personal freedom. Morality and ethics are not the product of pursuing freedom, but the pursuit of maximizing individual security and social interests - what a person wants should be restricted freedom." Su Mingan said calmly, He didn't expect Snow to come to talk philosophy with him: "People have to legislate for themselves. Mollie Snow, you haven't answered what's in my wine yet."
Originally, he was just trying to trick Snow. He couldn't tell if there was poison in the wine. In his shadow state, he had poison resistance and immunity, but Akto's body was as brittle as paper, so he was just being cautious.
As a result, such a fraud really came out, and there was really something wrong with the wine.
Snow tilted his head and ignored his question again:
"City Lord, philosophy is a very good thing... It makes wise people smarter and thinkers broader. People like you, the only MT (Dawn Personality) who possess both broad wisdom and deep thinking ability, should be able to Get maximum enjoyment out of it.
But the vast majority of people... they don't understand philosophy. Filling their stomachs and emptying themselves out of vulgar entertainment activities are all they live.
They can't understand...and can't understand. He only wants to believe in things that are good for him. A stable and high-paying job, delicious and sufficient beef and foie gras, and a beautiful and lovely lover are enough for them to abandon those useless thoughts.
Instruments and data are 'alien' in people's eyes, which is the fairest and most unfair judgment. No one wants to be a part of being replaced, which makes them unhappy.
It is necessary to serve as a guide for the rulers, to set up an anchor for the people, and to make them responsible for their own ignorance and stupidity, instead of using empty ideas to simply make everyone live a better life - this is the consciousness and means of the rulers. Times are about to change.
Asa Akto...Lord of the city. "
Snow chewed the words, leaned back, crossed his fingers on the table, and said with a smile: "It's time to put down your stupid utopian ideas, people can't understand these."
He put his fingers together and raised his hand.
"Crack!"
The next moment, the waiter who was carrying the tray immediately threw away the dessert in his hand, and the sound of the porcelain bowl breaking could be heard endlessly.
Their bodies were spliced and modified, and rows of cold guns were pointed at Su Mingan. Even the surrounding doors and windows were pressed down by iron bars, blocking the escape route.
Facing the black muzzle, Su Mingan's hand was still touching the edge of the glass, as if he was not aware of the dangerous situation.
He raised his hand to fiddle with his watch, but a thin needle glowing with blue light shot out instantly, hitting the back of his hand. The speed was so fast that it didn't even trigger the wheelchair's defense shield.
Blue light lingered, glowing with dazzling paralyzing lightning. His debuff column appeared in a [Paralysis] state, and then disappeared quickly.
In the shadow state, this level of anesthesia needle cannot control him.
He raised his eyes, and Snow seemed to think he had been paralyzed, still looking at him with a smile, without any panic.
"[Garden of Eden], was it also invaded by Tawei?" Su Mingan said.
"No, we volunteered," Snow said.
In his eyes, there were no bright red lines from his dimension. Tavi has not yet taken control of his mind, turning him into a completely different person than he was before.
He just volunteered.
"[Garden of Eden] is the organization closest to the Dawn System and Type 8 personality. As an executive, I am more aware of today's difficult situation." Snow said: "Survival resources are in short supply and space turbulence is becoming more intense. [Safe Zone] The scope of the world is shrinking day by day, and we must seek refuge in other dimensions in order to gain a glimmer of hope - the fire of human civilization must be preserved, even if it is as a loser. "
"Yeah." Su Mingan said: "A familiar point of view.
He thought about Edward who would forcibly kill him after the Third World ended, and also claimed to be the "qualified number one player".
...and Mizushima Kawakora, who prides himself on being righteous and righteously asks him to give up his position.
How similar.
The Akto of today is simply the person he was in the past. The eagle dog leader Kaskinen Philo who wants to kill him, and the Eden executive Molitor Snow in front of him, exactly correspond to the original Edward and Mizushima Kawakora.
ah.
…I see.
Is this what "Tavi" is all about?
This dimension that is invading the ruined world is just like the organizer of the invasion of Zhai Star. The people in the Garden of Eden were vying for it, as if they were going to be the organizer's 'dogs and people with special status'.
It's so similar, so similar.
"As long as you declare to 'call on the people of the city-state to surrender to Tawei, you will become Tawei's 'agent' and still retain the position of the city lord."
Snow took out a piece of almost transparent paper. The texture of this paper was very special, like it was made of a special film material, with a layer of gradient light color.
He faced the paper towards Su Ming'an. The paper was like a mirror: "As long as you say something like this, we will continue to surround you. Today, you still have the recognition of the vast majority of city-state residents, and we need your prestige."
Everyone stared here, holding guns tightly in their hands, and remained silent.
The changes of an era are taking place under their guns.
Asa Akto is the only pure human who has not integrated the Dawn Chip. If his invasion of Wei wants to reduce people's psychological obstacles, it is best to need Akto's approval. This is a matter of legitimacy.
"It was a pleasure communicating with him, you guys." Su Mingan said, "I must have been in contact with him a long time ago."
Snow smiled and said nothing, but continued to hold up the paper in his hand like a video recorder.
Su Mingan moved his fingers and pointed at the wine that looked like a large amount of blood on the tablecloth.
"Morlett Snow," he said. "Then lick it."
Snow was slightly startled.
"Didn't you say that for the emergence of the new era, you are willing to do anything, even give him a dog?" Su Mingan said: "Just under the screen recording in your hand, lick it, before you lick the wine on the table After I am clean, I will issue a declaration to surrender to him. I believe that with your determination,
It's not impossible to lick the tablecloth like a dog in front of the whole world, right? "
"City Lord, you" Snow looked stiff.
"Lick it." Su Mingan looked at him lightly: "Now, you are not going to say something like I am a madman and it is not normal at all. Don't make me feel too deja vu."
