Chapter 21: Utopia

After the capsule "test drive" is completed, Emma sends Gordon back to the room

Emma: "We'll be on the road in two hours, you can take advantage of this time to have a good rest, don't "toss". - hint

Gordon: "Well, I have to enjoy these two hours of "freedom", and for the next ten hours I will be in a "room" with you alone, ......" - counterattack

Emma: "Don't think about it, the ...... who did it to me on the way" - stopped at the door

Gordon: "I'm looking for death, I'm not going to let you commit dangerous driving." After speaking, he closed the hatch and sat down on the bed to reflect on the anomalies he had experienced not long ago

Gordon: "Emma's hint before leaving, the timing of the knock was too coincidental, was she spying on me? No, I checked the whole room yesterday and found no bugs, cameras, surveillance holes, single-sided see-through mirrors, etc., except for a small ventilation duct, the room was sealed (looking at the small vent)...... I see, she probably manipulated a mouse or a black cat to spy on me, and as Al said, I was being caught up in by someone in the Hellfire Club. It's Emma who took it upon herself to make the whole white group want to turn against me, does Magneto know about it...... Anyway, I can't contact Al while being watched, it will only leak more information and put him in a dangerous situation, I hope he can adapt and take the initiative to contact me when he notices the abnormality......"

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Office of Ultra-Natural Disaster Countermeasures, Cuckoo 00001 was called to the director's office by Jonathan

Cuckoo 00001: "The director is looking for me?"

Jonathan: "Yes, Emma, what did you say to Dent at noon?" - straight to the point

Cuckoo 00001: "Noon (guessing why Jonathan called himself to talk)...... Tell him about the actual physical condition of Director Gao and your real intention in arranging for Bide to enter the management team. ”

Jonathan: "Didn't say anything else?"

Cuckoo 00001: "No, I did not privately explain the additional instructions to him, nor did I hint at any extraneous meaning in Director Gao's words, but Dent himself seemed to have some problems in understanding, wishful thinking that this was a trial arranged for him by Director Gao, and I wanted him to increase his field experience and experience the hard work of the comrades on the front line......

Jonathan: "This is really not Director Gao's original intention?"

Cuckoo 00001: "Of course not, Director Gao knows very well what shape the organization is in now, facing multiple threats in the open and in the dark, and it is not the time to arrange for Dent to go to the front line to exercise." It's just that the more I explained Director Gao's original meaning to him and told him not to think about it, the more convinced he became. After I found out that my dissuasion could only be counterproductive, and the more I painted it, I gave it up, anyway, his backstage would stop his foolishness and not let him get into danger...... Why? Dent didn't go to his backstage and bothered you first?"

Jonathan: "You've guessed half right, he did make a "request" to me just now to be the leader of the working group and take Robin to Paradise Island for treatment, but he came to me after getting Elder Deng's consent first, and I couldn't refuse. ”

Cuckoo 00001: "Wouldn't it?

Jonathan: "Well, I don't know how he told Elder Deng, but Elder Deng did agree, and I specially verified it with the above." ”

Cuckoo 00001: "Hell Alive...... Did Dent's backstage arrange special bodyguards to protect him along the way?"

Jonathan: "This Deng didn't mention it, and Elder Deng didn't say it, you didn't add or replace one member of the working group you originally set. ”...,

Cuckoo 00001: "......"

Me (voiceover): "I said something before, but unfortunately you can't hear it, this time it's okay, right?"

Seven and a half hours later, on the east coast of Africa, at 7 p.m. local time, the sun had just set

The MRT capsule, carrying Gordon and Emma, sailed into a submarine base (a secret military port built underground) on Keio Island at night, and the orderlies (Emma's clones) immediately came to "serve" the Empress after receiving instructions from Emma

Emma: "Ha~~, it's finally here, the ten-hour high-speed flight is really tiring......" - open the cabin door, unbuckle the seat belt, get up from the seat to stretch your muscles, and hand over a series of trivial tasks after entering the port to the orderly to do

Emma: "...... Welcome to the utopia of equality and non-discrimination, the island of Kewlo. - Pride

Gordon: "Toilet, toilet ......" - regardless of Emma's politeness, he unbuckled his seat belt and jumped ashore, pulling his legs and running towards the buildings in the base

Emma: "You...... Stop me, there's no men's toilet in there!" - ordered the orderlies to stop Gordon from running blindly

Gordon: "There are no men's toilets in the military port? ...... you are" - secretly keeping an eye on the surroundings

Emma: "I said no, I don't believe you look around, is there a male soldier?"

Gordon (belly): "All of them are clones of Emma, this is simply her "private port" for the White Queen, the White King and the White Car are nowhere to be seen, and it is not appropriate to ......stay here for a long time."

Gordon: "Okay, good, good, you have a point, but I'm in a hurry right now......"

Emma: "Hold up, there's a public toilet in the camouflage building above the base, and it won't take a few minutes to get there...... Get in. Pulling Gordon to jump into the electric patrol car driven by the orderly

Gordon: "Hurry, I can't hold on." ”

Emma: "......"

Six minutes later, Gordon and Emma take a dedicated elevator into the camouflaged building on the ground level

Gordon: "This is ...... Kitchen in the back of the restaurant?"

Emma: "Yes, there's a French restaurant (by the sea) on the base...... Okay, here, there you go. β€”Led Gordon to the public restroom

Gordon: "Yes...... Wait, how do you have four doors in the toilet here......? Two men and two women?" - strange

Emma: "Oh, don't you know how to read (in French)? Isn't it written on the sign? From left to right, men's room, men's room, women's room, women's room......" - explained

Gordon: "...... As if you just told me that Keio Island is a utopia where everyone is equal and there is no discrimination?"

Emma: "Yes, under our behind-the-scenes rule, Keio Island abolished apartheid and adopted an attitude and policy that discriminates against citizens of different colors and races, and the human rights situation has improved considerably compared to the previous (before the Hellfire Club overthrew the previous regime......"

Gordon: "It's a big step forward from before? I think this toilet is newly built...... You can only make me more convinced that human nature is evil, and that there is no utopia in the world. - Depressed into the men's bathroom

Me (voiceover): "Aren't you, old guy, in a hurry? Why do you have to talk so much when you go to the bathroom?"
