"The world is anomalous right now, Mr. Owen. The writer "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info people who create wealth cannot have wealth, and those who provide power cannot have power, and this situation is everywhere in human society. It shouldn't be, it shouldn't. Maybe it's because when it comes to his dreams and other things, although Li Ping is still calm, there is always a sense of excitement between his eyebrows, "Mankind has long entered the information age. It's been almost a hundred years. Information is wealth, wealth above all else, and the ability to accurately grasp information gives power, and this ironclad law has been proven since a hundred years ago. It is an undeniable fact that information technology has made our lives more convenient and comfortable, and our spiritual world has become more colorful. No technology can develop explosively and spread rapidly to every corner of human society in the short period of time in the early information age like information technology, and no technology can bring human beings closer together more closely than information technology. It makes the work of transforming nature more efficient, more efficient than our ancestors could have imagined......"

"But who created all this, who built this wonderful world, who is it? Who is it, it's us, it's the electronics engineers, it's the keyboard that changes human society so efficiently, and we do all of it. We have power, because with the ubiquitous electromagnetic waves and a small computer, we can use all the resources of the whole human race! We can do that!"

"But we're leaving this wonderful world in the hands of politicians who don't understand anything. We took the initiative to contribute this precious strength, and in the end we only received a meager salary that could only ensure survival. Even if we work hard every day, we have to be ridiculed by boring people who spend their time exercising and shaping their bodies all day long, laughing at our low athletic ability! Is this reasonable? Is it fair? Of course not! Since information technology is important enough to determine the future development of mankind, shouldn't it be the people who are at the forefront who are the most qualified to apply this power? This is what the world should be!

“…… In short," while Li Ping was giving a passionate speech, Mullen suddenly interrupted him, "You 'code farmers' decided to riot because their wages were too small. That's it, right?"

This was clearly a very offensive remark, as could be seen from Li Ping's now flushed face. "Code farmer," Mullen said in half-baked Chinese, and he understood the place of the word in Chinese: Originally, it was just a joke for electronic engineers about their heavy work, but at some point, it gradually evolved into a scornful term. Although it may seem bad to say such things as a person in the same profession, it ......

Mullen couldn't help but think of the strange hierarchy.

"Admittedly, sir, there is indeed a part of normality in what you say. It's a world where people who create wealth can't have it, and people who provide power can't have it, but in some senses that doesn't mean it's unjust. The engine gives the car the power to move forward, so does it have to control the direction in which the car is going? Of course not. Any technician has the power to move human society forward, but that doesn't mean they have the ability to point out a good way forward. This kind of thing...... It is so important that it is absolutely impossible to work part-time, and it is necessary to establish a completely different professional organization and system to control it. ”

This is the first time in Malen's life that he has really refuted a Chinese. Because of that damn mental illness, he had basically not been able to communicate face-to-face with Chinese before. Now, however, he feels that he finally has the strength to face his previous psychological trauma. Looking directly into the other's faces, Mullen continued, "The idea that the Creator should own everything created is utterly ridiculous. Do you tell me that everything you use now is made by yourself? Every chip, diode, and circuit on your computer is made by yourself? All the clothes on your body are woven by yourself? What's more, in your words, you always give electronic engineers a sense of superiority, as if becoming an electronic engineer should never be criticized, and we are a group of beings who are above ordinary human beings -- why do you have this kind of thinking? Are you qualified to have this kind of thinking? Who do you think you are? God?"

I couldn't stop being a little excited. No, I can't say it anymore, provoking the other person in this situation can easily lead to ......

“…… I get the general idea of what you mean, Mr. Owen. After being silent for a while, the expression on Li Ping's face calmed down again, but he could see from the trembling facial muscles that he was trying to restrain himself in order to avoid his outburst as much as possible, "You don't agree with our ideals, so you refused our invitation, did you?"

"Can that kind of naïve thing be called an ideal? This is simply an insult to the word ideal. ”

"But you can't let us run for nothing. Crossing the river that was completely overflowing also took a lot of our energy. Rubbing his hands, Li Ping's tone revealed obvious disappointment, "You have to give us something, otherwise...... Your personal safety, I can't really guarantee it, really. Dead people are much better than unusable talents. ”

"Do you think that such words can really threaten me?" It's really strange that I was so weak some time ago, and now I can face the other party's threat so courageously...... Even if it is a change, the change is a little too radical. But trauma ...... That's what it is. Thinking like this, Maren glared back against the other's gaze, "I will never hand over anything you want." You cowards who will only blame society for your frustrations......"

"Cowards, if we were a bunch of cowards, the organization would have collapsed ten years ago!"

"Sorry, allow me to correct you, you're not just a bunch of cowards, but a bunch of unreasonable paranoids......"

“…… Is there really no way for you and me to communicate well with each other?" Biting the cigarette in his mouth hard, Li Ping said with an unwilling expression, "From the very beginning, you have been sneering at our ideals...... It's so far from what I imagined you to be. We really want to ask for your help. Before this happened, we submitted one hundred and twenty-three invitations to you, but all of them were rejected or ignored......"

"I don't have to take any responsibility for your delusions, do I? Now that I understand your purpose, I can say unequivocally that I do not agree with or even oppose your ideals, which will cause great harm. And, Mr. Lee, while I can feel your respect for me, you don't seem to be very good at persuading others. Even if NX's opponents came to me to dig into the wall, they wouldn't say such clumsy words as yours. Clearly expressing his negative attitude, Mullen began to conceive a way out of the dilemma in his mind. There was a person who seemed to be using the radio to make contact, so is there a way to use their channel to call the police?How long does it take for the police to get here?" ”

“…… Mr. Owen, this is really your fault. We've been trying to communicate here, but you're so ruthless......" After hearing this, Li Ping suddenly gestured to the soldier next to him, "In this case, I really can't guarantee what will happen next." But you have one last chance—"

"What do you want to do?!"

The question that blurted out turned into nonsense in the next moment. Raising the pistol in his hand, Li Ping took a deep breath and aimed the muzzle of the gun at the green-haired witch who was escorted by another terrorist: "It's the first time I've done such a thing as hostage-taking, so maybe the gun will go off due to various accidents...... Tell me right away before this unfortunate happens, Mr. Owen, can you give us the information on the vulnerability of the brain access program?"

The small room fell silent for a moment. The priest and shrine maiden, who could not understand the conversation between Maren and Li Ping in English, showed obvious anxiety and panic on their faces. Until now, no one has given them a clear explanation of their current situation. Moreover, faintly, the cry of babies can be heard outside, I am afraid that their children are hungry......

"Wait, please calm down, Mr. Li Ping. Seeing it all, Mullen nervously moved his Adam's apple. Obviously, although he was about to be fifty years old, he had even less experience than the average person in dealing with such things - and the result was the current stalemate, "they have nothing to do with the affairs of you and me......

"I know that very well. However, it's because it doesn't matter that I'm able to do it more easily, Mr. Owen?" said Li Ping's gaze that hurriedly swept over Patrick on the other side, "If it's your friend, he's obviously more valuable to you, can you do it right away...... It's a thing worth considering. ”

“…… Tsk......"

What should I do now?

What they want is a bug in the brain access program. This is an extremely secret that only the world knows about itself - and this is what NX's project team asked for in the first place. There is no doubt that if this information is handed over to them, the other party will definitely not use it to do anything good. There may be a lot of people who will suffer from this...... But if you don't say it, the owners of the shrine ......

"Have you thought about it, Mr. Owen, and I wish I had heard your answer sooner. You and we are busy. ”

This...... My God...... What the hell am I ...... What should I do?

Cold sweat ran down Mullen's back. Scanning the group of people around him in a panic, he finally completely lost the courage to refute the other party, and seemed to be at a loss. This, this...... What exactly should be done?...... Do you really want to give in to them? After all, I ...... Do I really have the qualifications to decide the survival of others?

But the situation is that I have been pushed to this point. That kind of question makes no sense at all. So, what to do?

As countless mixed thoughts came to mind, Maren and the green-haired shrine maiden's eyes met. Although the deepest part of those eyes still precipitated the same tenderness as before, now the panic, confusion, and the fear that came with it had overshadowed it. Even if subjectively she didn't want to do such a thing as asking for help, the helplessness revealed in it still made the pressure on Maren more and more. Can she let the group of guys on the other side kill her? No, of course not...... But......

"Alright, Mr. Owen, I think it seems like you're going to need some outside stimulation right now to make up your mind. Suddenly, this voice came from the ears of Maren, who lowered his head and thought painfully. Next is a Chinese sentence, "Do it." ”

"No!" Suddenly looking up, Mullen got up from his chair and screamed desperately, "You can't ......"

Aha. Seem...... It's useless anymore. The speed at which the fingers are pulled is faster than the speed at which the sound is conveyed.

Maybe it was for stealth reasons, or maybe for some other reason, the person who came was using a whispering weapon, so before everyone could realize what was going on, a cold corpse was already lying on the wooden floor of the shrine. "Knock". With a violent throb in Mullen's chest.

It's the priest. They picked the priest first.

At this point, Mullen only felt that everything around him was spinning. All voices seemed to have died down, whether it was Li Ping's further threats or the witch's cries after the loss of her husband. The whole world was dead silent, filled with despair and remorse.

I...... I...... I killed that priest...... That particularly simple and hospitable priest...... Moreover, it is a stranger who has nothing to do with the matter......

The baby's cry seemed to be getting closer. Is it an illusion?...... No, someone was carrying the one-month-old child in......

"All right, Mr. Owen. The number of hostages has been replenished. I don't want to do it to women or children, let alone such beautiful women and so young children. But if you insist on sticking to that ridiculous principle, I'll have to keep doing it. "Hearing has recovered a little bit. Mullen heard Li Ping say, "I need your answer. ”

"I ...... I...... I...... I ......"

Can't hesitate anymore. Otherwise, more people will die. The shrine maiden will die, and so will the child...... Can't hesitate......

“…… Inside my backpack, my personal computer, the name 'Pandora', the password 'six spaces 6 spaces SIX', and fingerprint and iris checks...... "Almost all the strength in my body, Mullen whispered, "That's what you want......"

The opponent moved quickly - or Mullen received too much of a blow. All in all, the work was done when the latter did not react at all. Smiling and playing with the storage in his hand, Li Ping nodded: "Well, thank you for your cooperation......"

“…… Let them go? They're irrelevance. So there is no point in it anymore. ”

“…… Mr. Owen, there is an old Chinese saying that I don't know if you have heard of. Hearing Li Ping's words, an ominous premonition suddenly came up. Mullen's instincts have always been accurate, but this time he sincerely prayed to God that his instincts would not be accurate...... "'Cut the grass to the roots.'" Now that I have killed their son, husband and father, I am completely hostile to them, and they have already witnessed the operation, if our re-activity is known to the police...... So. ”

Immediately afterwards, two cold Chinese characters were said by the other party: "Do it." ”
