Chapter 45 Concealment and Deception
The voice of the scepter became a bit contemptuous, and I don't know when it started, but the eccentric voice of the scepter actually began to show emotion.
"Humble slave, I was very satisfied with your logical ability at first, but now it seems that emotions really affect your brain. In the third article of the slave code, your doubts have been clearly explained , under Article 3, you shouldn’t even question that I lied to you, it’s just a concealment at best.”
Shi Lei was stunned, he carefully recalled what Scepter said just now.
About the third of the slave code.
"After completing the novice trial stage, a slave officially becomes a slave of the slave development bank."
Since Shi Lei has to complete the novice trial stage before he can officially become a slave, then Shi Lei once said that he doesn't want to be anyone's slave, isn't it just a sign that he wants to quit?
The scepter also made it very clear that before becoming an official slave, Shi Lei had the right to choose to quit. Withdrawal may be accompanied by certain punishments. After all, this damn slave development bank is not a charity. The punishment may be to make up for all expenses, or a certain part of the body will be wiped off like Shi Lei's hair, but It must also be possible to withdraw.
Why does this damn scepter insist that it didn't deceive Shi Lei? This is obviously deception.
Concealment and deception are indeed different, but concealment should be based on the fact that Shi Lei knew nothing and did not raise any doubts. In that case, the scepter can of course choose not to raise it, otherwise how could it push Shi Lei into this pit?
But Shi Lei has made it clear that he doesn't want to be anyone's slave, even if his request was not so firm at the time, even if he blurted out a little subconsciously, the scepter can't be regarded as Shi Lei never raised a question, right?
...
Shi Lei was puzzled and thought about it, but still felt that he was cheated.
He became more and more furious. This damned scepter had clearly deceived himself, pretending that it had never violated the rules.
Shi Lei was almost about to curse, even though he actually understood that his curse was of no use to the scepter hidden behind the screen.
But the moment he was about to blurt out, Shi Lei suddenly stopped, and a thought flashed in his mind, he asked: "I will be punished if I violate the rules, so what if you violate the rules? Won't you be punished too?"
The scepter seemed to be stunned and did not answer, probably because it felt a surprise.
After a long time, the scepter gave a strange laugh, and said in an unmasculine voice: "What a clever slave, it seems that this journey will be more interesting. None of your seniors have ever thought of this. .”
Although he didn't answer Shi Lei's question directly, the performance of the scepter undoubtedly showed that Shi Lei's guess was right.
"Answer me positively, what will your punishment be if you violate the rules!"
"Damn slave, this is not a question you should ask, you are just a humble slave, how dare you talk to me in such a tone! I am the supreme scepter, I can kill you at any time, let you and your that Same as senior!" Scepter felt offended and was obviously angry.
At this moment, Shi Lei calmed down completely. He snorted and continued, "Even though I have become an official slave now, I am only a slave of the Slave Development Bank, not yours. As for our relationship, It is not certain who is whose slave. Erase me? If you try to obliterate me when I have not violated the code, you must have violated your code. Although I don’t know what will happen to you if you violate the code, I think That will definitely not be better than me being obliterated. Perhaps, as a living body with superpowers but no body, you will end up being completely obliterated if you violate the rules, from the aspect of life!"
The scepter fell silent, and did not continue to roar at Shi Lei. Perhaps it was shocked by what Shi Lei said, and it never thought that Shi Lei would be able to analyze it to this level.
"You don't need to answer. It seems that I have found the correct answer. If I am a slave of the Slave Development Bank, why are you not? We are just Party A and Party B under the Slave Development Bank. Under the control of the slave development bank. To put it bluntly, this seemingly useless black card is the real master. Don't pretend to be compared to me in the future, I don't like it!"
The scepter was furious, and this was the first time it showed real anger: "You fart! You humble slave, if you dare to offend me like this again, I..."
Shi Lei interrupted the scepter mercilessly. He smiled and said, "I offended you, so what can you do? You only have the basic right to talk, and I doubt that you have the ability to punish me at all. All the punishments are caused by this black card."
"You don't want to try it. You will never know what will happen after you really offend me. Do you really think I don't have the ability to punish you? You humble guy!" The scepter was still roaring, listening In Shi Lei's ears, he felt a lot more comfortable, after all, he already knew that the scepter could not punish him at will.
Shi Lei smiled disdainfully, and said: "Maybe you really have super powers, maybe you can kill me anytime and anywhere, maybe I think too much about this. But, I also believe that if you are in my presence Kill me for violating the rules, even if you only give me a small punishment, you will be punished by this black card. Stop pretending, compared to me, you dare not violate the rules at will."
The scepter gasped angrily, but didn't say a word. Obviously, Shi Lei had fully understood the truth.
Shi Lei, who had completely calmed down and recovered his ability to think, also understood the reason why the scepter did not violate the rules even though he clearly stated that he did not want to be anyone's slave.
In addition to the previous speculation, Scepter also said that since Shi Lei inserted the black card into the ATM and entered the password, he has become a slave to the Development Bank, or a slave of this black card. The only difference is that he was still a slave in the novice trial stage at that time, but now, he has become an official slave of the black card. Of course, the term "slave" is just Heika's wishful thinking, or it is simply a term that the Scepter evolved to satisfy its boring vanity. To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to signing a contract between Shi Lei and Heika.
If the black card is described as a company, then after Shi Lei enters the password, it is equivalent to signing a contract with this company and becoming an employee of the company. As an employer, the black card will provide Shi Lei with a quota in line with his position level every week, or every fixed time period. As an employee, Shi Lei must consume all the quota within a fixed time period according to the contract, otherwise, will be punished by the employer.
Between employers and employees, the scepter plays the role of communication. The employer is rigid, but the scepter is flexible. It has its own thoughts. In order to achieve a certain purpose, it will choose to actively inform or conceal . However, as long as Shi Lei, an employee, involves the rules of the employer, the scepter must be clearly explained.
Then, according to the logic of the black card, after Shi Lei entered the password, he was already that employee, so when Shi Lei said that he didn't want to be anyone's slave, it couldn't be passed.
The foothold is crooked, and the subsequent logic is no longer valid.
At that time, if what Shi Lei said was not that he didn't want to be anyone's slave, but that he didn't want the quota given by the black card and that he wanted to return to a normal life, then the Scepter had to tell the truth so that Shi Lei would have the chance to quit .
But now, it's too late.
The protagonist's resistance has begun, and of course he will not be anyone's slave. Therefore, I hope you will be more patient when reading the book. This is always the case when you follow up. The author wants to dig a hole, and the reader hopes to fill it right away. But this is a novel, and it needs a certain length and process to complete the process of filling the pits, and it is precisely because of this that the novel has a plot to speak of. I don't dare to brag that I write well, but there should be some people who are willing to support silently, and some people are willing to complain about the lack of steel, but, no matter what, please don't attack personally. Don't worry, I won't be a eunuch or a bad ending because of my glassy heart. I'm about to enter the tenth year at the starting point, and I still have the ability to bear it. So, friends who like this book, how about a few more recommendation tickets?
