Chapter 478 The File Deletion Test Is over, Players Please Prepare to Go Offline

What is the story of The Matrix?

Many film critics said that this is a story of human pursuit of freedom, but Fang Zheng has always sneered at this. On the other hand, as long as it is not for freedom, then it is evil and needs to be defeated.

But the problem is that freedom cannot be eaten as food.

Of course, throughout history, there have been many wars for freedom, slaves over slave owners, peasants over landowners. But for them, freedom is not a political correctness, but a necessity. They don't want others to decide their own life and death, and they don't want others to decide their own future. They hope to change their lives through their own efforts, so that they and their descendants can live a better life than they are now.

And this is the point.

But the problem is that if you look at it from a historical perspective, you will find that the story of The Matrix itself is illogical and doomed to failure.

Many people think that the finale of the third part is a failure, but in fact, in Fang Zheng's view, this is almost a doomed ending.

Murphys and Neo pursue freedom, overthrow the machine to enslave humans, and then?

Let's take a look at the basics of this world --- the sun is shrouded in dark clouds, the surface is already barren, there are no living things, and even food needs to be synthesized. In this case, a person can enjoy virtual food and sunshine in the mother's womb, so what can they get in reality?

Taking a step back, even if the aura of the protagonist Neo erupts, and finally he controls the entire matrix in turn, and then liberates all human beings from the slavery of the matrix, can they live a better life?

In a post-apocalyptic wasteland where resources are scarce, there is no sunlight, and survival is difficult? How do you feed billions of people? Do you rely on love to generate electricity and use ghosts to support your family?

Perhaps the director himself knows that his setting is mentally handicapped, so in the end, he really has no other choice but to film an ending in which human beings reconcile with their mother.

The reason is simple, because their belief in fighting, in Fang Zheng's view, is not only naive, but also fragile.

They are free only for the sake of being free, but freedom itself is not an end but a means. Of course, there are many such protagonists in Hollywood movies.

In Fang Zheng's view, Neo is such an impulsive protagonist, young, innocent, passionate, and easily incited. So when Murphys found him, he almost couldn't wait to agree to the other party's invitation.

As for why Neo continues to choose to be the savior, in Fang Zheng's view, the reason is very simple - because in the real world, he has no choice, if he does not become the savior, then he can only eat and die like everyone else. He can't quit his job as he wants, or change his job if he wants to, as he can in the virtual world. And because of "political correctness", it is impossible for him to go to the mother's body, so apart from continuing to be the hopeless job of the savior, he really has no goals.

And now... it's time to wake up from this dream.

Fangzheng stopped and raised his head. In front of him was the thick and solid metal gate of Zion. The automatic machine guns erected on both sides of the gate sensed the appearance of the enemy and began to quickly aim at the target. But the next moment, they quickly lost power and turned into a pile of scrap iron.

And Fang Zheng tilted his head.

"Nimf, open the door."

"Boom, boom—"

The door opened slowly.

On the metal platform on the other side of the gate, hundreds of mechas were waiting there. They raised their machine guns and aimed at the front, ready to attack at any time. But... when they saw everything that was happening, everyone's breathing stopped involuntarily.

Along with the opened metal door, a young man in a black windbreaker and sunglasses walked in slowly with his hands behind his back. Behind him followed a blue-haired girl with twin ponytails and a strange costume. They seemed to be walking in the park, strolling forward.

But as the two moved forward, everything around them began to lose their effect. Even the surrounding forts used for defense were completely silent at this time.

"Yo, how are you all?"

Fangzheng raised his hand and waved to everyone with a smile on his face. And looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of them, everyone didn't know what to do for a moment. In the end, Murphys walked out of the crowd and stared at him coldly.

"What are you doing here?"

Although Murphys' tone was cold, the expression in his eyes was very complicated——in the real world, because there is no good industry, they all wear some worn-out coarse clothes. This may also be the reason why they dress more handsomely than the other in the virtual world.

But at this moment, Fangzheng in front of him was wearing the same clean, straight windbreaker and sunglasses as in his mother's womb, as if mocking them. And looking at this scene, Murphy's heart was shaken again, could it be that... what he said is true? If, if so...

"I've already told you... oh, I don't seem to have said it, but it doesn't matter, it's the same if I come here to say it again."

Having said this, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and soon he heard a loud sound from the surrounding speakers. Then, Fangzheng's voice immediately began to echo throughout Zion.

"Do not make jokes!!"

Hearing Fangzheng's words, soon, some people roared angrily. And those soldiers manipulating the mechanical armor raised their guns angrily and aimed at Fang Zheng.

"You lackey of the mother body, don't even think about talking nonsense here! We will never go back!!"

"Da da da da!!!"

With the sound of guns and guns, countless bullets roared at Fang Zheng and Nimfu, but facing the hail of bullets in front of him, Fang Zheng just curled his lips.

The next moment, a surprising scene appeared.

Countless bullets quietly stopped in front of Fangzheng, as if they were frozen in the air. They are densely packed together, as if forming a barrier. Seeing this scene, the originally fierce artillery fire gradually became rarer, and at some point, they finally stopped completely.

"...What he said is indeed true..."

Standing on the balcony, watching this scene, Neo felt his whole body trembling. This scene is too familiar to him, he has done the same thing in the mother's womb!

but now……………

"Click, click, click..."

The bullets frozen in the air were scattered all over the place, and Fang Zheng stretched out his right hand to the side.

"Nimf, the sword."

"Yes, master."

Accompanied by Nimfu's words, a silver-white giant sword emerged out of thin air again, and was held in Fang Zheng's hand. And seeing this, no one doubted it anymore——if blocking bullets can be said to be some kind of special ability, then it is absolutely impossible to create things out of thin air in the real world!

"So, players."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his giant sword and pointed it forward.

"Sorry, this game is going to be shut down."
