Chapter 498: Resonance of Connection
In the afternoon, Tilan once again came to the garage where Suojia was.
The sun fell on the open space outside the garage. The open doors and windows let in the hot light from outside. There was a slight smell of engine oil in the air. Compared with the coldness of the night, the warehouse at this time seemed a bit quiet and lazy.
After repairing the hoverbike, Suojia put the electric wrench on the table, then picked up the kettle on the side and poured water into it. Then he turned on the fan on the side, and the breeze blew across his sweaty face and back. Cool and refreshing feeling.
If there hadn't been an internal problem with the 'Connector' this time, she probably lived a relatively comfortable life even though she wasn't rich. She would occasionally go out racing with her friends, make extra money or lose money by taking part in competitions, and curse those who were inappropriate while drinking. Rich people continue to live like this.
After pouring down half a bottle of water again, Suojia put the water bottle back on the table and prepared to lean on the chair to take a rest.
"Are you busy repairing it?"
A slightly familiar voice came from not far away. Suojia opened his eyes and saw a girl holding an umbrella standing in front of the garage and walking into the room through the bright light.
"It's Zijin." She recognized the girl with black hair and purple eyes.
"You sit down first, I'll take a rest." She greeted casually.
The girl put away her umbrella and looked around. Although Suojia asked her to sit, she didn't see a suitable seat. There were only two small benches with various traces of spray paint and oil stains on them.
Putting the umbrella in the corner of the garage, Tilan looked at the small door from the garage leading to the room.
"What about the rest."
Suojia leaned on the chair with his eyes half-closed and answered casually.
"Gern is surfing the Internet in the house, as if contacting old friends. The eldest lady will be communicating with other 'connectors' and trying to persuade them."
"Can I go over and have a look? I just don't know if Alanna knows me." Tilan was curious about how the other party communicated. It probably wasn't a phone call.
"It's okay. Just go through the door here, go to the room on the second floor, and knock on the door. We told the eldest lady about you this morning."
"OK."
Tilan opened the small door on the side and walked into the house.
The passage on the first floor is slightly cooler, with rooms scattered on both sides. It does not look like a place for families to live, but more like a temporary resting spot for employees. It has an obvious industrial module style.
Climbing up the stairs, Tilan walked towards the innermost room. When she stood outside the door, she could feel the special fluctuation inside even though she hadn't knocked on the door yet.
Not in a hurry to knock on the door, Tilan closed her eyes and felt it carefully for a while, thinking a little.
This feeling, the space has a slight dimensionality increase, is obviously the phenomenon of immersing in the sea of Aijaka, and there is also a weak magic change, which is not as pure as an independent individual, but the magic interweaving of various ideas and frequencies. , as if there are many people inside, but judging from the fluctuation range, each one is very weak, even weaker than insects, and ordinary people cannot notice anything is wrong at all.
Two minutes later, Tilan opened her eyes, then placed her fingers on the door and knocked lightly.
"Hello, I'm Zijin. I want to meet Miss Alanna."
Soon, the door opened, revealing a somewhat tired girl. She was wearing a silver painted short T-shirt and a short skirt of the same style, as if she had just come off the stage.
After Tilan walked into the room, she sat on the edge of the bed and leaned against the bedside as if tired.
"Hello, I'm Alanna." When she said this, she didn't have the energy shown in the show and the program at all, as if she was a dried sea urchin.
"Hello." Tilan replied, briefly looking inside the room.
The decoration here is very simple, with a table, chairs, a bed, and posters on the walls that have not been torn off. Only the sheets and quilts are new, they must have been bought not long ago.
"Thank you for helping Suojia yesterday. I guess I didn't cause any trouble to you." Rubbing her temples, Alanna braced herself up again and talked to Tilan.
"No, actually I am also curious, because when Suojia held my hand yesterday, it gave me a strange feeling that I had never experienced before."
"This is the charm of the 'Connector'. Normally, I could talk to you happily for a long time, but now there are many problems that need to be solved." Alanna regained her energy a little.
"You have a lot of questions to ask. As long as they are not too personal, I can answer them." Anyway, there are so many traitors in the organization, and there is no point in keeping it secret anymore.
"I'm very curious about how such an ability is achieved and what the effect is."
"A lot of newcomers do ask about this." Alana was not surprised. She held her forehead and shook it slightly to refresh herself.
"Let's start with the singer..." Just like she explained to Shan that day, she explained it again.
"As a singer, her voice is too strong and suppresses other voices. This is one of the reasons. In addition, the singer's strong appeal also constitutes a kind of violence. It is difficult to say whether she leads everyone's wishes or herself. A personal wish.”
"Thus, Alana's 'Z' group was born, representing the last group that wants to end all singers and giant corporations and resist all powers." Tilan recounted the declaration she heard from Suojia and Shanna.
In the past, Alanna would confidently admit this great ideal, but now she only feels that she may not be that powerful and strong.
"Uh, that's what I said." She tapped her forehead, trying to avoid the sight of the girl opposite.
"It's okay, it's a great idea." Tilan didn't show any mockery or sarcasm, but instead quietly and honestly described this idea, which was a bit naive, but still had a noble purpose.
"Do you really think so?" Alana asked, lowering her hand slightly.
"Yes."
"I don't know what kind of social structure civilization will form after losing the singer, maybe it will split into multiple different countries, or break taboos and evolve in various directions." Tilan raised her tone slightly, and then described her views and feelings over the years.
"But you are right about one thing. The current federation is very divided. The upper and lower groups have long lost mutual understanding. Various violent remarks emerge one after another, as if everyone is a victim. Everyone has become selfish. People are united and only follow emotional choices. They rarely think about the real reasons behind each problem and what choices they should make in their lives."
"If the development of science and technology and culture, and the continuous advancement of extraordinary abilities, are to improve people's lives and make civilization more advanced and harmonious, then at least in the latter, the current social structure is still in a crude state."
...
These words surprised Alana. It can be said that they hit the various problems existing in the federation very directly. In comparison, what she thought about in the past has become a little superficial.
"What do you mean...?" She couldn't see through the girl in front of her. Why did she feel that she was more extreme than herself?
"To put it simply, the Federation, as a country and social community in the Galaxy Era, still uses the cumbersome and outdated social system from thousands of years ago. Such a framework cannot meet the desire for life of all classes and groups. People at the bottom feel abandoned and ignored. The prosperity of the extraordinary people has nothing to do with them, but they have to watch others' brilliant lives, which creates a huge psychological gap."
"For high-sequence people with extraordinary powers, although their strength is far beyond that of ordinary people and they can easily destroy a city, they are still subject to the various laws of the Federation and are governed by some 'ordinary people'. They are even plotted against by power, which makes them feel insecure. In order to eliminate this insecurity, they must seek to obtain social power, which will impact the original structure of society. Let the law become no longer sacred. "
"If the law is only to protect those high-level extraordinary people, rich people, and powerful groups, these people can easily trample on it, while the lower-level people who break the law will suffer various punishments, then they will involuntarily doubt this system and dislike its role, and finally shake the foundation of the federal rule, and let other organizations grow in society, such as certain gangs, clans, brotherhoods, etc. "
"In essence, because the security needs of the lower level cannot be protected by the law, they will seek some other forces to protect their own interests, which provides soil for many illegal organizations to survive. "
The accumulation of four years in high school and the broadening of the overall situation of the federation after entering university have made Tilan see the problem more and more clearly, and gradually understand what she really wants to do.
She will not be easily swayed by various remarks, nor will she immerse herself in extreme emotions and self-touching, but just look at the world quietly and equally.
Generally speaking, only major changes will change a person drastically, but some people's changes are subtle and silent.
You have to jump into the pit to feel the pain, that's what only a fool would do. Tilan thinks that people who love to think should see the pit under their feet in advance and remind themselves not to fall into it.
Although Alana and her 'Z' group are immature in various ways, the starting point and the special abilities of the 'connector' are indeed what Tilan is interested in, which is why she joined them to find out.
When Tilan finished her opinion, Alana felt as if she was convinced and quickly accepted the theory of the girl in front of her. However, if that's the case, doesn't it mean that the 'Z' group she founded is just a child's play, and she doesn't even grasp the core of the problem.
Out of some self-esteem and not wanting to admit defeat in front of her peers, Alana turned her head and bit her lips lightly.
This... It seems that I said too much. Seeing the other party's reaction, Tilan also realized where the problem lies.
After all, she is just a 'newcomer'. Such remarks made 'Alana', the core, a little embarrassed. If she really recognized and praised herself, wouldn't it be admitting that she is not suitable to be the leader? This is very discouraging.
"Alana is amazing. Although I have thought about many problems, I have not put them into practice. In this regard, Alana is amazing." Tilan organized her words and tried to praise her.
After some comfort, Alana felt much better, and her mentality gradually became calm.
"What year is Zijin in college?" Alana asked curiously after her emotions stabilized.
"It's the first year now." Tilan answered honestly.
She was hit again in her heart, but Alana pretended not to care and nodded, "Zijin is still very young, I am already half graduated."
At present, the university study in the Federation is half on campus and half off campus. After the first part is finished, it can be said that it is half graduated. Senior singers such as Elukelu and Luo Fenghua are at this stage.
Although she felt that what the girl who was several years younger than her said seemed to make sense, Alana would never admit that she was not as good as others. She cheered up and showed a certain "senior" style.
"Little Zijin sees things in the long term, unlike her peers who only know how to play and study." It seems that adding the word "little" can give her a psychological advantage, just like an eldest sister evaluating her younger siblings.
Afterwards, Alana looked at the sky outside which had darkened for some time, and then stood up.
"It's getting late, let's go eat first, and then introduce the current situation to Zijin."
Afterwards, Alanna picked up the short jacket on the bedside and put it on, then put on a hat and sunglasses, and then took Tilan downstairs to find the others.
"Good evening, Miss." Suojia had already finished repairing his motorcycle and had changed into clean clothes.
"Where is Gen?" Alana looked around and asked.
"He said he was going to buy something to eat."
"Then let him buy more. Anyway, I don't have any shortage of money in my card. Besides, it's also a good way to celebrate the addition of new members."
"Okay." Suojia saw that Alana's energy was much better than yesterday, and she was in a good mood.
"Then you get busy first. I'll take Zijin for a walk in the yard."
"OK~" In this regard, Suojia said it was no problem.
Afterwards, Alanna asked Tilan to follow her and walked into the open space in the abandoned warehouse.
It was already past 7 o'clock at night, and it was not long after dark. The tall buildings in the distance were already lit up with various lights, and there were not many stars visible in the sky.
The two walked away for a while before Alanna spoke.
"To be honest, I was a little surprised and didn't believe it when I heard that a new member had joined yesterday, because this period is very special."
"I used to believe in friends, I believed in the memories we built together, and I believed that trust in each other can build a beautiful circle. We can work together to help each other and compose the music of the new era."
"It's a pity that I was betrayed."
"No matter how much I try to convince myself, everyone has their own troubles and their own reasons, but I still feel very sad. I don't want to trust others anymore, and I don't want to suffer this kind of thing again."
"You are different from other members. I rarely see such calm and clear thinking among my peers. Most people just live by their feelings."
"Even though there is a part of resistance in the program of the 'Z' group that I founded, most people don't care, or they just pay lip service to it."
"You are one of the few people who raises questions, thinks deeply, and doesn't completely deny me."
"This had a great impact on me and made me discover some shortcomings in the past."
"It seems I'm still a little unqualified." She sighed.
"There is nothing unqualified." Tilan shook his head.
"As you said, everyone has something they are good at. We form a circle and make up for each other's shortcomings."
"The same is true in modern society. The division of labor allows everyone to live by doing only what they are good at, instead of being like primitive people who have to do everything themselves."
"Yeah, but I found that I seem to be more suitable to be a simple singer, rather than to really touch the cruel and real changes." Alanna stopped.
"As for me, I have always lived a very chic life. Although I don't have the talent of a singer, I am still very happy. Because of singing, I have gained a lot of love and I don't have to worry about money."
"After accidentally discovering the ability of the 'Connector' with several companions, we slowly experimented with the initial usage, and then happily promoted it carefully and slowly recruited members."
"Because I am a star that attracts everyone's attention, I easily obtained the position of leader and organized many activities."
"Slowly, just immerse yourself in this kind of acting."
"Yes, acting, I am not the kind of warrior who really dares to promote world change, the kind of person who burns the world with blood and fire. I just like the unique identity, the pleasure of building an organization and being surrounded by others. "
"I didn't distinguish the difference in the past, but after listening to you talk a lot this afternoon, I gradually realized that if I follow the program I proposed, I will inevitably encounter these things, but this is not what I want."
"Huh, maybe I should be grateful to that mysterious organization. They took over my mess. If someone from the Tribunal comes to visit me one day, I can say that I have been abandoned long ago."
"Alanna, do you want to give up?" Tilan raised her head and looked at the girl walking in front.
"It's time to give up." She was not as confident and sparkling as she usually was on stage.
"How about Zijin come and give it a try and sit in my position, if you have this idea."
"I'm just a new member, or in other words, just an outsider." The girl shook her head. She didn't know the members scattered all over the place at all.
"No one is born to do something, and great people grow up step by step. Alanna, since you were able to inspire everyone and bring everyone together in the past, I believe you can also overcome difficulties and bring everyone back together."
"I don't talk about those far-fetched ideas of changing the world. I just want everyone to get back together, not to be used by other organizational forces, to fulfill their promises, and not to let everyone go astray just because they join the 'Z' group."
"I believe Alanna can do such a thing."
"That's very good, but unfortunately I still lack confidence." Alana turned around, a little light flashing in her eyes, as if the tears were like some kind of rekindled faith.
"If Zijin can be my right hand and help me well, maybe I can gather my courage." A smile appeared on her lips.
Compared to the incompetent trio, the girl with black hair and purple eyes in front of her is much more reliable.
"Oh, me?" Tilan didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to herself.
"Don't you realize that we look alike? We both have black hair, can sing, and have purple eyes." Alana looked at the girl opposite.
"I don't think I said I could sing." Tilan was surprised.
"Yes, it's like an adult who walks a lot can tell at a glance whether those crawling children can walk. Whether it's the sound of your speech or the clarity and recognition of your voice, it shows that you have a good foundation in this area."
"I'm a big singer, I still have this vision." Alana was confident and sure.
"It's not easy to achieve the goal of reconciliation, so can you help me temporarily, Zijin." She stretched out her palm.
If it was just this matter, Tilan felt that it was not a big problem. She put her hand on it. When the two shook hands, a strange feeling was instantly connected. It seemed that the two of them had a temporary resonance of consciousness, and all kinds of feelings were shared at the same time.
So from Alana's perspective, this is what I look like.
Looking at herself under the night sky, Tilan felt that she did look a little "younger". Both her appearance and figure had not changed much from a few years ago.
What is this? Alana was also very surprised. Even though she had used similar connection abilities with many people, she had never seen it as clearly as today. It was as if she was looking at the world through a magnifying glass.
The flow of the wind, the night view in the distance, the flow of tiny Ajeka particles in the air, the flow of magic power in the body, the countless tiny thoughts, etc., seemed to have entered a higher level of life, and the whole world became more "real".
This can only mean one thing, that is, the girl in front of her has strength that she can't imagine. It is far from being as simple as Sequence 5. Even as Sequence 6, she can't reach this level.
This kind of consciousness resonance ended after just a few seconds, and then the two returned to normal.
"So this is how the ability of the connector is realized." Tilan blinked and began to understand the way to realize this ability.
It is probably that the consciousness enters the Sea of Ajeka and interacts briefly, just like two computers communicating remotely and taking over each other.
It must be said that this is a very dangerous ability, because long-term use has the tendency of "self" being assimilated, and finally merged into a huge collective consciousness, and each body is just a part.
It seems that their way of using it is still very simple and crude. At least they should be able to isolate themselves and not be influenced and assimilated by others at will. Just once, Tilan, as an excellent student, saw a lot of problems.
It seems that there are many things to do in the future. Although the "connector" does not seem to be the solution she wants, it also has great reference significance.
