"A lifetime of illusion, and a death will see the truth." This is the first sentence that the human councillor painted.

"Don Quixote?" Lu Wen looked at him.

"Hmm."

Chen Qiang put down the bread in his hand.

He sat across from the two of them, his expression calm.

"One of the consequences of fear is that it confuses people and makes them unable to see things as they are." Lu Wen whispered this famous sentence from "Don Quixote", "In your world, all living things are distorted, are they fantasies?" Or is it reality? ”

"It's a fantasy for you, it's a reality for me." Chen Qiang said.

The book Don Quixote depicts a declining aristocrat who is fascinated by the knights.

He turned the fantasies written in the book into reality.

Magic and justice, struggle and inheritance collided in his mind.

So in that century when the knight disappeared, he put on his heavy armor, turned on his horse, and chased the vanished chivalry alone between dusk and dawn.

He recognized the girl from the neighboring village as his hostess, and he wrestled with the windmill and stubbornly believed that it was a giant.

"You suffered something from your childhood and the world began to twist, so Zero created another world for you, the world you thought you had seen in your dreams." Lu Wen said.

"I've never dreamed, I'm awake, and the world is not in a dream, it exists in reality."

"What do I look like to you? Torn monsters? Wriggling flesh? Covered in eyes? ”

"Pretty much."

Yin June watched the two chatting from beginning to end, and she couldn't find a common topic.

This guy named Lu Wen knows Zero quite well.

She didn't know what Don Quixote was.

The conversation between the two men sounded like it was encrypted to her.

"According to the thinking of ordinary people, after discovering me, they should keep a close eye on me and monitor my movements until I come into contact with the teacher." Chen Qiang said

"That's just the thinking of ordinary people against ordinary people." Lu Wen looked at him.

"The teacher said that he wanted to build a perfect world, so I am willing to follow him and turn this distorted world into a page of history."

"But now you're abandoned by him."

Lu Wen looked at Chen Qiang.

This human councillor has a lot in common with the little painter.

Childhood is their common weakness.

Zero took advantage of that time and gave them another world, a better world than the harsh real world.

"Do you know that the family that adopted you, their deaths may all be related to Zero."

"I know, I watched them die."

The man was hopeless.

The little painter still knows to stay away from Mowu City to protect his beloved.

Chen Qiang actually watched his family die.

Maybe in his eyes, those dead family members are some terrifying monsters?

"They adopted you after all."

"The world that everyone knows is different, the world you see is the world of universal cognition, this world exists, so why can't the world I see exist?"

When Chen Qiang stated all this, his tone did not change.

It's as if he's never been just a passerby.

"I saw that the sky was blood-red, the earth was full of abysses, monsters were walking on earth, and everyone lived in symbiosis with demons...... You can think it's my fantasy, but what if it's not? ”

"Actually, you don't deserve that epitaph." Lu Wen looked into his eyes, "I am confused all my life, and I am still confused when I die, this is you, you are paranoid that you are right, and you think that Zero is right." ”

Lu Wen got up, knowing that there was no point in asking.

He walked to the door and opened it.

The morning breeze of Baker City was greeted by you.

Yin June followed beside him.

"Why don't you keep asking?" She asked.

"There's no need, I've got the answers I should know." Lu Wen looked into the distance, "Sometimes, people know that they are wrong, but he is unwilling to correct them, because that mistake made him pay too much, so he can only immerse himself in his mistakes, and once he wakes up, that price will make him completely collapse." ”

This sentence is not too loud

But he was standing at the door.

So in the room behind him, Chen Qiang, who was eating bread, could hear it clearly.

He sat down on a stool, his head bowed, his body trembling slightly, and soon regained his composure.

Lu Wen and Yin June returned to the car and gradually moved away.

"Say, is Zero watching us right now?" Yin June sat in the co-pilot and buckled his seatbelt.

"Yes, and he knows the content of my previous conversation with Chen Qiang, and he can hear every word clearly." Lu Wen said.

"Doesn't he know all about our plans?" Yin June asked.

"Do we have a plan?"

Lu Wen smiled, their plan was to destroy Zero's plan.

Dr. Jiang seemed to be interested in exercising the two of them, so he didn't give any other advice, just opened up the permissions of all the equipment and let the two of them use it.

I always feel that this old-timer is very sure.

"What did you mean by the last thing you said when you went out just now?"

"Chen Qiang has actually realized that everything he suffered in his childhood was single-handedly planned by Zero, including the fearful events that caused his worldview to be distorted."

Lu Wen looked for a hotel with a high rating on the map.

Make it your destination.

"The death of the family who adopted him was also done by Zero, and it can be said that all the tragedies he has experienced since he was a child were caused by Zero."

"And he's still dead set on following Zero?"

"Because there is nothing else for him to do, there is no hope in his life...... Zero can still give him a real dream, so that he will not be too painful. ”

"It's better to live like this than to die."

Such a tragedy is the life of being manipulated.

Before the two arrived at the hotel, a piece of news came out.

[Human Councilor Chen Qiang committed suicide by swallowing a gun at home, the reason is currently unknown]

[After investigation, Hon Chan Keung suffers from long-term depression and lives alone all year round]

He's dead.

Chen Qiang knew that although his exposure caused Zero to give up on him, he still had one last thing worth exploiting.

That was his death.

"Zero can arrange his death to make it more like it was made by the android organization, which can also have the effect of increasing the contradictions, but in the end...... He probably woke up at last. ”

There is no meaning in being manipulated like that.

During the conversation between the two, Lu Wen kept reminding Chen Qiang.

"A lifetime of illusion, and it is difficult to see the truth when you are dying."

If he doesn't make his own decisions, he won't see the truth.

So Chen Qiang finally decided.

Arrange your own death.

He opened the door and took one last look at the twisted world.

The sound of gunfire woke up the neighbors on this quiet morning, and they walked out the door.

At the moment of death, he finally got rid of Zero's control, and he didn't know if the world in his eyes had returned to normal.

"He died on the street, Zero didn't have time to set up the scene, and after the gunshot, the body was quickly found by people around him, so Zero couldn't take advantage of his death."

What's Zero's mood right now?

Did it feel like things were getting out of his control?

"Get off the bus, the restaurant is here, you can order whatever you want."

Lu Wen parked the car on the side of the road.

Dr. Jiang's modified car has its own monitoring without dead ends, which can prevent some ill-intentioned people from installing bugging devices on the car.

Yin June ordered a table as usual.

"Chen Qiang's words actually revealed a message, Zero has a bigger plan, each plan complements each other, even if there is a problem in the middle, it will not affect the final outcome too much, he wants to provoke a war between the city and the no-man's land."

Lu Wen leaned back in his chair and analyzed carefully.

Something was missing.

The death of several parliamentarians of different forces, using them, may be able to achieve the ultimate goal.

But that plan was ruined.

Public.

Now, whenever the android councillor dies, the first thing that comes to people's minds is Zero, not anyone else.

So the death of the parliamentarian is no longer worthless.

But listening to Chen Qiang's tone, Zero seemed to be very indifferent.

"Original...... His goal has actually been achieved, and he only needs to do one thing in the future. Lu Wen suddenly figured out a key point.

"What?" Yin June looked up at him.

"If you think about it, the doctor is here to train you, not to let you eat and drink all day."

"I don't know about Zero, you and the doctor have been discussing for hours in the early hours of the morning, who knows what kind of dumb riddle you are playing, you are just a beautiful girl from an ordinary family."

“……”

Large-scale wars often originate from small-scale local upheavals.

When the casualties reach a certain level, both sides will begin to lose their restraint.

The so-called, played out with fire.

"Casualty, this is the result of Zero's final request, and he has done it." Lu Wen said.

"What do you mean...... Last night, the field organized a battle with the android forces? But wasn't that deliberately provoked by the two of us? ”

"Yes, but even without the two of us, there will be other people who will start a fight, and the most important point is ...... Be sure to bring the No-Man's Orboid organization to Baker City. ”

With the Transhuman Councillor dead, Zero was halfway there.

Armed with the rage of being slandered, many androids have risked their lives to infiltrate Baker City to investigate the truth about death.

The rest is simple.

Let these androids intersect with an underground organization, or the Executive Directorate, or the forces of the army, and turn into a firepower conflict.

"Last night's battle damage was 1:4, it seems that the androids won a complete victory, but they fled in disgrace, they must be holding their breath in their hearts, these guys' brain circuits are quite simple, they can't stand this anger, they will definitely come back." Lu Wen said.

"You're a android yourself, and you're actually scolding your own people." Yin June gave him a blank look.

"No, I actually...... In a sense, it's a little more advanced than those androids. ”

"The legendary six generations of androids that haven't been released yet?"

"No, I can't explain it to you."

Lu Wen looked out the window.

No matter how sunny the weather is, there are always low-pressure clouds over the city.

Zero's plan wasn't very shrewd, but it just gave people a sense of unstoppability, interlocking, and as long as any link didn't stop him, the outcome of the plan wouldn't change much.

"You just said there's one more thing Zero needs to do, what is it? Draw the flames of war out of those two forces and spread to the whole of Baker City? Yin June asked.

"Yes." Lu Wen nodded, "The reason why I agreed to your plan last night was to use the android organization in no man's land to weaken the underground organization of Baker City...... At that time, I didn't think of this, Dr. Jiang was right, I was still not flexible enough, my brain couldn't turn around, and it would be a big loss to line up with Zero. ”

Last night's plan was simple.

Jia Ren's underground organization is chasing and killing Lu Wen, and Lu Wen naturally can't sit still, so he has to give them a little color.

So he agreed to the girl's plan.

Lure the members of the Underground Order to where the Androids are lurking, and induce a war between the two sides.

In fact, Lu Wen had already seen far away at that time.

Before implementing Yin June's plan, he calculated many times.

According to the current attitude of Baker City towards androids, the ability of the underground organization forces, the strength of the android organization in the no-man's land, and other factors, a comprehensive analysis was made.

In his calculations.

The feud between the two organizations, no matter how fierce it is, will not spread to the whole of Baker City.

The underground organization is not popular in the first place, and the android organization in the no-man's land is not popular, and the two organizations are at war and the possibility of alarming the entire Baker City is very small.

The worst-case outcome, in which the fighting lasted too long, left the Baker City Council to intervene.

"What is it going to take for Zero to get the whole of Baker City involved in the struggle between these two forces?"

Lu Wen sighed.

Kill some more councillors? It doesn't work.

Guide two groups to blow up the parliament building in the middle of a campaign? Neither organization is so stupid.

And it's all too obvious.

Zero's arrival has been made public, and no matter what strange things happen, they can be pushed on him as soon as possible.

The city is chaotic, but the most basic order is there.

"Chaos? How do you make the mess bigger? ”

Lu Wenzheng lowered his head and pondered these two words.

Trying to figure out Zero's next plan.

But something suddenly happened in Mowu City, which made him stunned for a moment.

"There's a councilor and a deacon coming to Mou City in Floating City?"

This is information from within the Executive Board.

Very few executives know.

Lu Wen's news was given to him by Wei Bo'an.

Wei Bo'an told him not to let the ordinary people know.

It's been years since anyone from Floating City has been to Mou City.

Councillor this is understandable, one of the 29 old immortals.

As for the deacons, there is no executive board on the side of the floating city, and they have set up a deacon office, and all disputes are mediated by the deacons.

At this critical juncture, what are these two doing in Mowu City?

The atmosphere in Mou is eerie right now.

Under the operation of Ma Bo and others, many ordinary people knew that the android organization outside Mowu City had formed an alliance and expressed their willingness for peace.

"Is it to prevent the birth of another Eden?"

Or is it ......

Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Completely destroy the android organization outside Mou City?
