Chapter 602 The Real Tower of Babel
"...So, at that time, Bad Sun told me some weird words like 'Become a hero, Russell', and then handed me the saint's beheading."
Russell said with some nostalgia for Huachu: "Looking back now... maybe my life started to change from that time."
The elf girl with pink shawl hair is standing with Russell in the rising "elevator" full of technology.
The dragon wants to meet Russell on land, but Russell has never been on earth. So the deer-headed statue asked Hua Chu to help him.
In fact, this is redundant behavior. After all, when Russell swallowed it now, it was different from the original imitation - he had already obtained part of the memory and knowledge of the sheath.
But considering that Sheath has only been on the ground for a few years, her understanding of the land is far less profound than that of Huazhu. So Russell agreed.
Huachu smiled and tilted his head: "That's right. If Nanliu Jing hadn't gone bad at that time, you might still be a senior executive of Tian'en Group now."
"really."
Russell nodded: "If I hadn't taken the knife at that time, I wouldn't have become a hero; if I hadn't become a hero, I wouldn't have entered the Special Execution Department and gotten to know Delphinium and the Inferior... and it wouldn't have been possible. The demonized Xiao Liuli will be executed on that day.”
That was a conspiracy hatched by Trovatus the Discordant.
It also means that Delphinium will most likely die in that crisis. The bad guy may also be driven crazy and have a head-on conflict with his father. Then it would be even less possible for his father to give Russell the task of spying on the Lower City plan... It would be impossible for him to enter the Lower City at that critical moment, save the Paradise Birds and those Uncoded People, and become the godfather of the Lower City at the same time.
"According to the original trajectory, the batch of psychic chips mixed with special viruses will flow into Xiacheng District. After a period of time, the uncoded people in Xiacheng District will be infected unknowingly and gradually become dead and injured.
"The bad guy will become the head of the Special Enforcement Department, and the mages will completely unite and confront the Enforcement Department. The angels will thaw and return, join the Special Enforcement Department and confront the mages head-on. And the last friend will die because of himself. The bad ones who die will be red-eyed - they want to kill all these uncoded people and these criminals.
"That means that the situation in the lower city of Happy Island will be intensified. The monkey-faced eagle will still be born, but with Morgan being silenced, no one will know its existence anymore...it will get enough time to turn the entire world The island is gradually infected. After the death of Xiao Liuli and Bai Xue, Bing Shui will eventually die in the assassination of Tiansong.
"The mages will be at an absolute disadvantage, but without the mediation of the 'Godfather', their desperate struggle will cause huge damage to the upper city; the bloodless and ruthless angels will not have any scruples, they will destroy the factories in the lower city. Cause huge damage. And this is related to previous price increases in the market..."
"With the increase in prices and the shortage of raw materials, the scale of unemployment on Happy Island will also increase exponentially. At that time, that type of 'unemployment' basically meant becoming an uncoded person - that is, losing human rights. "
Hua Chu continued on the sidelines: "In addition, the antagonism between the uncoded and the citizens has doubled... So, as a company dog, what will you do then?"
"...Without that, I would have either been in the equipment department or the network security department. If Dodgson wanted to push me in to inherit his position, I would have been stuck in the public relations department. But no matter what... ...I will definitely not lose my job. And this means that I will inevitably become a 'salary slave' and a 'company dog'."
Russell smiled helplessly: "Under that level of opposition, personal positions, good and evil, and preferences will lose all meaning. Of course, I may also be dispatched to the Special Execution Department because my psychic strength is too high... But without Delphinium, the Special Enforcement Department, where the bad guys started going crazy, was not such a good choice.
"I will raise the butcher knife and point it at the uncoded people who are forced to be homeless. I will fall for my relatives, friends, and my own life... and I also like the lazy, ordinary, A purposeless life.
"I will stand by and watch the world become a mess. Watch the mercenaries massacre in the upper city, watch the angels mercilessly destroy the factories, watch people unable to buy things and live in houses... watching the Happy Island The order gradually collapsed and people became hysterical.
"I will also be unable to see many things. Without the channel to become a mage, I cannot see the history and truth of this world; I cannot see the synthetic crisis that occurred on Tongshen Island, let alone the impact of the monkey-faced eagle program on The embezzlement and infection of the matrix world. I can't see the turmoil in the church, nor can I see the rebels on Yongquan Island...
"Even if I see it, it doesn't mean anything. Because at that time, I couldn't do anything."
"——Don't belittle yourself, Russell."
Huachu's voice, which was always drawn out and seemed to need a beating, became rare and gentle.
But soon she became irritated again: "For a tool like you, someone with a discerning eye will always find you. Gold will always shine. By then, you will be pushed to the front desk... Eventually we will reach the current situation.
"The direct cause of the turmoil in the Seven Islands is the rebellion of the church; the core disaster that plunges the world into crisis is the invasion of the world at dusk; but the root cause of the current situation can be traced back to those giant dragons. There are also those named elves who betrayed their mission and forgot their history.
"These are things that have happened. You can't change it, and we can't change it. No matter how involved you are in these things, eventually they are going to happen.
"Compared to the future possibilities you described, I think the current world is pretty good."
"Not bad...are you serious?"
Russell was a little helpless: "Don't compare yourself to others, Huachu."
"That's what I say, but after all, this world is still worse. Now that we have you, there are those who have survived because of your existence, and there are those who have changed their destiny because of you, and have emerged from the mud and swamp. People who have stood up... There are Fuji Society established because of you, and there are people who have survived or changed their destiny because of Fuji Society."
Hua Chu paused and looked back seriously: "I really feel that the world now has something called 'possibility' more than the future you described.
"That is the most precious thing. It is the 'hope' for people to see the dawn."
“…Hope is poisoned wine. People drink it with intoxicating dreams, and often die in agony.”
Russell was a little disappointed: "Without me, the future would be a choice between the 'Civilization Sample Project' represented by the dragon, the 'Mind Uploading Project' represented by the church, and the 'Human Completion Plan' represented by the monkey-faced eagle. Regardless of the choice All of them are terrible, so there is no difficulty in choosing.
"And now that I have... we will explore the fourth possibility. But actually, even I don't know the success rate of that plan - before I really came into contact with the dream, I actually couldn't fully predict what would happen. Can it be swallowed up?"
"There's nothing worse than that, right?"
"That's what I said..."
Russell sighed and his ears drooped: "For me, there is only the difference between 'plan success' and 'plan failure'. I need to completely swallow the fantasy and maintain sufficient rationality. But before that, I still have to deal with the dragon and the church. The huge chaos that is swirling on the seven islands now is actually the fuse that ignited...
"I even think that they will suddenly go crazy... It is very likely that Huan Meng has sensed the crisis. It gradually woke up and began to interfere in the world and complete the great mission of destroying the world that it had not completed a long time ago."
"I see."
Hua Touch nodded, understanding in her heart.
As expected, Russell was still a little anxious. But she did not comfort Russell.
Because any comfort and relief from others will reduce Russell's purity.
And Russell will feel anxious because of this, which shows that he still has enough humanity at the moment - at least for now, this is a good thing.
"Speaking of which," Huachu asked instead, "among the 'three choices' in that world line, which future will you, as a company dog, ultimately prefer? A sample of dragon civilization?"
"If I had to choose, I would choose mind uploading - the digital paradise is also a paradise. I actually don't care that much about the gap between virtuality and reality. But in fact, seriously speaking, these three plans are not essentially the same. What’s the difference?”
Russell replied without hesitation: "A digital civilization without humans, a civilization that can only survive with a very small number of elites, a civilization with only one powerful individual - all have no value in existence."
"...But aren't you an elite yourself?"
Hua Chu was a little surprised: "As Thrall's name-bearer, you are the highest-level 'elite'. Even in the 'Civilization Sample' plan, you will eventually be able to transform into a name-bearer elf, gain immortality, and go to school." Of the ship.”
"It is precisely because I can get on the ship that I can confidently say this without making you think that I am being bitter or hating the elites who can get on the ship.
"As long as we are human, we will make mistakes; as long as we live in this world, we will eventually suffer.
"But the mistakes made by our predecessors will eventually condense and become 'history'; the suffering people have suffered in the process of civilization is so that future generations will no longer suffer the same suffering one day. Blood and tears condense into history, and sweat turns into knowledge - —The bones and flesh heal and the wounds become scars, that is civilization..."
When Russell said this, his steps suddenly stopped in place.
He pondered for a while before slowly exhaling.
"...No, I understand."
Russell said sincerely: "Thank you, Huachu."
"nothing."
She smiled and replied: "I am more or less a psychiatrist."
When they said this, the small space they were in suddenly shook.
Accompanied by a powerful feeling of weightlessness, the closed door in front rotated and opened on its own, expelling cold air to reduce pressure with a hissing sound. The look always reminded Russell of a pressure cooker.
This is where Russell has never been...
The real Tower of Babel.
