Commander Locke was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood, but at this time, he couldn't ask anything, but everyone's reaction gave him a very bad premonition, and this feeling of being the only one in the dark was really going crazy! Fortunately, Councilor Dilard relieved him: "Mr. Wang Yang, what was the commander's reaction just now?" ”

Commander Locke's eyes widened suddenly: reaction? What reaction? Don't......

Sure enough, Wang Yang's voice appeared in his mind again: "This is called psychological suggestion." I just gave him a hint to believe that he was being manipulated by the telekinetic force, which triggered the psychological instinct of self-defense; This technique is similar to hypnosis, but in contrast to hypnosis, psychological suggestion can be deeply rooted in the subconscious, so that the person being suggested can believe in the heart that it is his own will, so that he will willingly act according to the will of the suggestor. I must thank Commander Locke, given that he was the most determined man on the scene, I chose him for psychological suggestion, and as you can see, he gave us a good example. ”

Commander Locke's head exploded, and the whole person was blindfolded at once, and only one sentence echoed in his head: Is this true? Is this all true? This damn bastard, how dare he?!

No wonder everyone's eyes are so weird, no wonder the subordinates look like they want to laugh but don't dare to laugh, it turns out that their struggles and roars just now are real? As soon as he thought of making all kinds of inexplicable actions like an idiot in front of everyone, giving inexplicable orders, and being unconsciously tricked under Wang Yang's command, Commander Locke felt that the blood in his whole body suddenly rushed to the top of his head.

"You !!" The furious Commander Locke yelled to rush over, but several quick-eyed subordinates hurriedly held him down.

Maus clutched his stomach and said breathlessly, "Master, Master is really 。。。。。。 It's so handsome。。。。。。 I swear 。。。。。。 Today's experience。。。。。。 Commander Locke's life。。。。。。 Ha ha...... I can't forget it。。。。。。 Do you say yes, Morpheus? ”

But instead of gloating, Morpheus glared at him fiercely. Lowered his voice and said, "Shut up, Maus, or I'll fire you!" ”

Speaker Haman spoke, and he didn't want to see a full force in the solemn hall of the council: "Commander, watch your manners. ”

Commander Locke is worthy of being the supreme military commander of Zion, and at this moment he showed excellent psychological qualities, he took a deep breath and quickly controlled his emotions: "I beg your pardon, I lost my temper, Mr. Speaker. ”

Speaker Haman turned to Wang Yang again: "The next time there is a similar situation, I hope you can say hello beforehand, young man." ”

Wang Yang nodded: "Yes, Your Excellency Speaker." Then he motioned to Xavier, whose eyes lit up and he was trembling, to signal the presentation to end.

Xavier was so satisfied that he put his eyes on the trembling hand, muttered something very quickly, and then said loudly, "Guys, this is the power that exists in our genes when I speak. I believe that this is a completely new life form for human beings, and it is the only way for us to move towards a higher species. What's more, this power is not picky about individuals, whether you are a natural human born in Zion or a fellow Matrix awakened; As long as half of our compatriots can break the genetic locks, we will become an invincible super-legion, defeating any enemy and regaining human dominance on Earth. ”

At this time, Xavier was really full of ambition, and his voice was unconsciously full of passion, and in the end, it could even be described as impassioned. But think about it, for a hundred years, the Machine Legion and the Matrix have pressed on everyone's hearts like an invisible mountain, bright sunshine, moist air, green trees and grass, blue sky and white clouds, thousands of miles of blue waves, long rivers and sunsets, countless beautiful scenes have become legends; There are only the pervasive dangers, the unsavory food, the gray world and the cold steel, and the hopeless years that do not know how long to endure, the feeling of heaviness and suffocation, which no one who has experienced it can imagine; When one day I finally see a ray of light, that kind of heartfelt ecstasy and exhilaration, can really make people's souls burn.

Neo let out a long breath: "I didn't expect it to be Wang Yang's attending physician who saved the situation, I should really thank him." What do you say, Morpheus? ”

turned his head, but was startled by the solemnity of Morpheus's face: "What's wrong with you?" Why this expression? ”

Morpheus shook his head slowly: "Don't underestimate Locke, I've dealt with him all my life, and I know him too well." Of all the people I have met, his stubbornness and paranoia are absolutely second to none, and his first credo is not to give up until he achieves his goal. ”

Neo asked, surprised, "Isn't the future of humanity enough to give in?" ”

Morpheus retorted in a low voice: "Then who will make concessions for those dead compatriots?" ”

Neo's expression froze, and he defended with insufficient confidence: "But Wang Yang is also for self-preservation, not to mention that the deceased is gone." As the supreme commander, Locke should focus on the overall situation, right? ”

Morpheus shook his head: "The big picture? What kind of big picture do you think is needed with the pattern and current situation of Zion? At the beginning, the defense force had older, more talented, and more outstanding military achievements, but in the end, it was Locke who became the supreme commander, that is, he was a stubborn enough guy, and no matter how bad the situation was, his belief would not be shaken. "As an absolute disadvantage of the decision-maker, the most needed is often not the spirit of daring to innovate and daring to be the first, but the quality of perseverance and perseverance.

Neo's heart couldn't help but sink, and when he looked at the rest of the crew, they all looked like they were facing a great enemy. Where there are people, there are grievances, and Neo, as a rookie, is still too tender.

Sure enough, just when everyone was excited and inexplicable, Commander Locke's voice rang out inopportunely: "So, the deaths of billions of compatriots can be written off with one stroke, and the executioner can get away with it?" That's what you're trying to say, Dr. Xavier? ”

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, poured on everyone's heads, and everyone suddenly realized that the law does not have a clause to make up for the merits, no matter what, the fact that Wang Yang indirectly caused the death of billions of compatriots is undoubted, even if the era of the new human race is really opened by Wang Yang, he must first take responsibility for his own mistakes.

- The death of billions of compatriots!

When I think of this, everyone has a kind of palpitations all over the body, what kind of psychology can make a person unscrupulous to this extent? It's like a mustard in the world, and even machines can't reach it.

"Please, say something! Don't be silent, please! Here, Xavier was whispering to Wang Yang pleading, and of course he could see as a doctor that Wang Yang was unwilling to defend himself, because he didn't take this appalling tragedy seriously at all. Although I don't understand what Wang Yang thinks, the dead are gone, and the rest of the people still have to live, right? Now it is pointless to let Wang Yang pay for his life, only by letting him live can he show his due value, not to mention that Wang Yang really has only a handful of time left.

Congressman Dereed turned his gaze to Wang Yang again: "Mr. Wang Yang, do you really have nothing to say?" ”

At this time, Neo was also staring at him nervously behind Wang Yang, and whispered: "Don't be like this, for Trinity, Wang Yang, say something." ”

Mau also folded his hands and muttered and pleaded: "Master, the image of a master is almost enough, and you can't continue to pretend to be cool." ”

Morpheus looked at Wang Yang with complicated eyes and said nothing. He has two biggest dreams in life: one is to break the shackles of Matrix and free his enslaved compatriots, and the other is to defeat the machine and win back the dignity of humanity; Now Wang Yang has achieved the first one for him, but the price is to send those compatriots to God, such a result is difficult for him to accept both emotionally and intellectually, but on the other hand, he agrees with Xavier's view: Wang Yang is a key, the ultimate mystery of the future of mankind and life. These two contradictory moods made him really not know what to do.

At this time, Speaker Haman also spoke: "Young man, we must bear the consequences of everything we do; From your eyes, I can see pure and firm faith, and I can feel your awe and kindness towards the world; In your most dangerous moment, a brave and beautiful girl is willing to sacrifice herself for you, so I believe that the person who can get such a love cannot be a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and the reason why this time it is a hearing and not a trial is because we believe that you should be given a fair chance before making a final decision, and I and everyone here want to know, why did you do this? Age and experience gave this old man a deep wisdom, and also made him keenly capture a glimmer of light leading to the truth in the hustle and bustle of public feelings.

At the mention of Trinity, Wang Yang couldn't continue to be silent, and he responded lightly, not with his thoughts but with words: "It's very simple, because this is the choice that human beings must make in the future." ”

"Shut up!" Commander Locke felt that he would have to go insane if he continued to allow Wang Yang to talk nonsense like this, he had never heard such a crazy reason, "You madman! Can this also be considered a reason? Can the extinction of humanity today be an option for survival in the future? Hahaha, then by killing you now, I am also contributing to the survival of mankind? Then why don't you stick your head over and let me shoot it with one shot? ”

Speaker Haman shook his head, "Young man, I can't agree with your reasoning. The continuation of any species in history has not been premised on mass extinction, and it is impossible for our civilization to accept this choice of extermination, if we do this, then what is the difference between us and the machines out there that are killing us? ”

Wang Yang looked at him fixedly for a while, and still said in that tone: "There is only a thin line between the continuation of the race and self-destruction, the vitality of this world is being consumed by endless wars, both machines and humans are heading for a common abyss, and if you want not to be swallowed up, you can only learn to give up." ”

Speaker Haman frowned: "Vitality? ”

Wang Yang nodded: "Yuan Qi is the origin qi that constitutes a world, the richer the Yuan Qi of a world, the more prosperous the living beings in this world, and vice versa." And most of the vitality of this world has been dissipated, and what remains is being polluted, just like this earth. ”

"Enough!" Commander Locke was furious, "Stop deceiving us with such childish things, it is unbelievable that anyone would believe such a ridiculous statement, and I recommend that the council sentence him to death immediately, even wasting a second for such a madman is a crime." ”

Councilor Dereed had to come forward to reassure: "Calm down, Commander. ”

Speaker Haman stared at Wang Yang for a while, then suddenly asked, "How do you know?" How do you prove it? ”

"Mr. Speaker?!" Commander Locke couldn't believe his ears, how could such a crazy reason be believed?

Wang Yang's gaze began to fluctuate a little as he watched him, it was rare to be able to try to believe in something completely new at this age: "Before this, did any of you think that the power in the Matrix could become a reality?" ”

Speaker Haman paused for a moment: "This is different, your views are too deviant. We've reached a point where we can't afford to make a difference. ”

Wang Yang smiled: "In my opinion, there is no substantial difference between the two. ”

Speaker Haman mused, "Perhaps we can take a more modest approach. ”

Wang Yang unceremoniously interrupted him: "Then may I ask, what is the current territory of the human race?" What is the population? How many resources are there? What other war potential can be tapped? Where is our strategic advantage over machines? When the tide is not on our side, time will only be our enemy. In this case, we are not in a position to talk about soundness. ”

Even the iron-faced Commander Locke was speechless.

"What's more, now Matrix has fallen into the hands of a devil," Wang Yang regained that indifference, as if he was completely from the perspective of a bystander, "Smith wants not to enslave humans, but to destroy everything, including machines." With all due respect, Mr. Speaker, humanity has no way to retreat, and soon, it will be impossible for us to be slaves, even if we want to. ”

Commander Locke scolded, "What qualifications do you have to say this? The entire army of machines combined didn't have as many humans as you slaughtered alone! ”

Wang Yang sneered: "The future will only be dominated by species that have passed through the door of evolution, and it is better to end this suffering early than to watch them lose their humanity when their resources are exhausted." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked, not only Commander Locke was furious, but even Councilor Dereud was angry: "But we should at least give them the right to choose!" ”

Wang Yang looked at her, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of ridicule: "Madam, when our greed and arrogance have exhausted the vitality and vitality of this planet, we have already deprived them of the right to choose. ”

There was silence in the hall. All of you here are smart people, although it is impossible to verify who started the war between humans and intelligent machines, in fact, people with discerning eyes know that in terms of temperament, this war is 10% provoked by the human side, so tracing back to the source, human beings are now somewhat self-inflicted.

After a long time, Speaker Haman sighed, as if he sighed and regretted: "There are many truths in the world that I don't know. It's like life, I don't know how it works, but I can understand some of its reasons and purpose, and I don't know how you do those things, but I know you must have your own reasons. However, I can only face this issue from the standpoint that I understand. I believe your words are not unfounded, but I still can't accept them. ”

Wang Yang looked at him, his eyes were neither happy nor sad: "So I neither explain nor expect you to accept it." ”

With a touch of gloom, Speaker Haman announced: "The council has officially decided that Mr. Wang Yang bears unshirkable responsibility for the death of his fellow Matrix compatriots, and must bear corresponding responsibility for it; However, in view of Mr. Wang's unique achievements in unknown fields, the Council has specifically approved that you can conduct research on the premise that your personal freedom is restricted; Finally, once the machines invade Zion, you will be the first death squad to fight at the forefront of the bloodshed to cleanse you of your crimes against humanity. ”

Commander Locke was very unhappy with the council's leniency, but before he could say anything more, Councillor Dered had already sounded the warning hammer: "Commander Locke, please do what you are told, and the council will be adjourned." ”
