At the end of the river is a bottomless abyss. Water and fish fall into it together, and no one can escape.
This is a fatal blow to the fish that jump out of the water, because no matter how hard they struggle, they will eventually end up in the abyss with the river. This is an unchangeable fate.
Suddenly, some fish found a similar creature with wings flying overhead. Their dead white fish eyes stared at the pair of wings with such longing.
"Flying fish, how much suffering do we have to go through to grow wings like you?"
It sounded like a sigh at the time, but looking back now, I can see how sad, angry and desolate it was.
In a daze, Zhou Jinru heard someone submitting a report, and a series of information records appeared in front of his eyes.
"Experimental specimen No. 17 has undergone major changes. After more than 30,000 simulation experiments, we finally found a way to change the fate of the target."
"Specimen No. 17 went into silence. It is not an emergency. Do not affect his decision."
"According to the simulation results, Target 17 will eventually become a dictator. His poor imitation of the Terminator cannot really lead to fate-changing results. This experimental specimen is a failure, and we cannot imitate the Terminator."
A voice sighed: "It is important to give birth to a finalist, but we will also become the target of his destruction. But without a finalist, we cannot change our destiny. No one can have absolute reason like Zhang Taiyue. He destroyed his own Humanity has completely turned into a monster.”
…
"Experimental specimen No. 17 was eliminated. He failed to grow into a terminator or even completely control a city. We failed."
"That doctor from Rhode Island, who is he?"
"I don't know, but there is already an experimental specimen lurking around him, and he doesn't have any suspicion."
…
"Very good. The second experimental specimen has also successfully lurked. He still has no doubts. Will he be the target we are looking for?"
"Maybe, maybe not, we need to look at it for a longer period of time."
…
"The highest order is to immediately activate surface experimental specimens to confirm the true identity of Dr. Rhode Island, who is suspected to be Defender No. 004."
This directive caused quite a stir.
"The first experimental specimen we buried has a very important identity. Victoria's escaped princess. The experimental target is passive latency. In other words, it can only be used once. The doctor will definitely find the abnormality afterwards. At the same time, the control target The mental shackles will also be ineffective, just to confirm the identity of the other party, it would be overkill."
"Defender No. 004 has died at the end of the last era. Our allies have seen it with their own eyes. It cannot be fake. Could it be a trap?"
There were divergent opinions for a while, but the order was still implemented.
"The specimen is invalid. The doctor from Rhode Island has been confirmed to be Defender No. 004. He is not dead at all. He lied to our allies!"
…
This is the last message recorded.
"The balance of fate, interesting, I will remember you."
Zhou Jinru returned to reality and made a mental calculation. This organization did not disappear within a hundred years, but completely lurked and used its influence to control multiple targets. Even Vina became their specimen.
Judging from the record description, Wei Na only passively became a specimen and was always under observation.
"So, there is at least one specimen of the Scale of Destiny around me?"
Zhou Jinru couldn't guess who it was for a while, so he simply didn't think about it and waited until he returned.
Holding the pen of memories in his hand, he thought that after seeing these records, even the members of the Balance of Destiny might not know about them, and he would be able to peek into their plans in the future.
A night of silence.
Zhou Jinru got up early and when he was going out, he happened to see Kemp walking over with a pair of red eyes.
"Captain Camp Guard, what's wrong with you?"
Camp was an honest man and quickly recounted his experience. He struggled: "The Pasha is very dissatisfied with the money I received from those businessmen. Should I hand over all the money?"
"That's not necessary. The pasha doesn't want you to pay this much. To be honest, no matter how much money you charge, you should stand firmly on the pasha's side. If someone gives you money, it means that you are valuable and have status. Understand what I mean. What do you mean, collecting money is just a small thing, you must ensure that you are closely connected with the pasha."
Kemp is an honest person, and bullying an honest person is not something worth showing off, and along the way, the only person Talaat can trust is Kemp.
After some enlightenment from Zhou Jinru, the captain of the guard suddenly understood. He changed his bad mood, yawned and said that he wanted to go back to sleep and thank Mr. Fourth later.
"Mr. Four, you are here!"
When Zhou Jinru came to Talaat's tent, the young pasha was looking at the map, his eyes always falling on the Baisha settlement.
"It's just a Baisha settlement, what should you care about?"
"I was thinking about the Baisha settlement. Although there is nothing memorable about that place, after the Baisha royal chief was killed by the horse bandits, his territory became a blank. No matter who goes, he can easily take it. I want to give it to Hoover. , I am unwilling to accept just a verbal transaction."
Zhou Jinru smiled and said, "Do you think the selling price is not enough?"
"I'm a little greedy."
"It doesn't matter, give it to Hoover if he wants it, give it to him generously."
"ah?"
Talaat's eyes widened. He had made it very clear, but why did Mr. Fourth tell Hoover?
"Even if you don't give it to him, wouldn't Hoover reach out and get it himself? It's an empty city, just give it to him. It's just given to him temporarily, don't worry."
The young Pasha smiled bitterly and said: "I can't figure out the reason."
Zhou Jinru smiled and said nothing.
Just before noon, Hoover came to visit, and the first thing he said was to ask about the situation in the White Sands settlement.
"Lord Pasha, now that there is no one to manage the Baisha settlement, the horse bandits are too happy to take advantage of them in vain!"
Faced with the aggressive Hoover, Talat could only let him go even if he was unwilling to do so.
"You're right, but I don't have that much energy to take care of it at the moment. Do you have any good ideas?"
The reluctance shown by the young pasha in front of him all fell into Hoover's eyes. He suppressed the pride in his heart and said loudly: "I am willing to help the pasha temporarily manage the Baisha settlement. When the pasha is free, I will hand it back." Here you go!”
Talaat had no room to refuse at all, so he could only nod: "Okay then, I'll leave it to you, but I have one request: restrain your men as much as possible and not harm the people of the settlement."
Hoover agreed wholeheartedly and left quickly. It seemed that he would soon arrive at the White Sands Settlement to announce his taking office.
"Mr. Fourth, I have done as you asked. What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"
