Chapter 1: The Chu River and the Han Realm (5)

Roasted lamb, chicken hearts, lamb kidneys, meat tendons, and yellow clams are placed on the table, and the aroma of cumin chili noodles sprinkled with them is really mouth-watering.

The old man couldn't help but say that he picked up a big skewer and began to feast, and Gordon was not far behind, and the iron tongs went straight to the sparks: Alas, I went, I can't remember when I last ate this, it's so delicious.

While eating, he asked: Old man, you won't choke to death if you eat like this at such an age and drink like this, right? I'm so happy that way!

The old man grinned: Comrade Xiao Gao's belly is black and ruthless, but even if I burp a fart, someone will naturally be in charge of Yunxiao Company, hey! You always call us the Kingdom of the Clouds, but in fact we are just a company, but since you want to call us that, I can't help it, it's too difficult to get someone to change their minds!

Gordon took over the conversation: Then you still negotiate with me? What do you want to change my mind?

Of course, you want to drop a nuclear bomb! Let's have an oyster.

If you don't throw it away, you won't die? Gordon naturally took the oysters and cherished the juice.

The old man slammed the wine glass on the table: Who will not die in your heart? Think about the time since the establishment of your rebels, when we took the initiative to attack you, and it was you who took the initiative to attack us, and we took you to defend ourselves...... That one...... Annihilated.

Gordon also slammed the iron tongs into the ground: "You are so innocent, then tell me, what happened to your mecha taking the initiative to attack just now?" What happened to our chief's command post being razed to the ground by you? Are they all false that you killed them all?

The old man looked misunderstood, and defended: The mecha just now just wanted to find a place to negotiate, so you just came out to play with your life. It is also true that the command post was destroyed, and to be honest, who wants to be harassed by you every day? But those people are alive and well, and we're not fascists, we're just locked them in a virtual space, and I don't believe you can go and see for yourself.

Gordon said angrily: Clever words, clever words.

The old man said bitterly: I'm a lot older, what kind of grandson are you pretending to be like a little broken child? None of them died. Hey, you're a commander, those words are all deceiving your soldiers and the masses, if you believe that we will abuse humanity all day long, you will be a little crazy!

Then I don't understand, why didn't my former commander negotiate at the time, and you had to wait until today to negotiate with me?

The old man smiled slyly, paused for a moment and seemed to be thinking of the distant past: I don't know this, maybe I'm very happy today, maybe it's fate that the object I want to negotiate with is you Gordon, we are all pawns of fate, maybe it is God's arrangement.

Gordon got impatient: Don't talk to me about this fatalism, I don't eat this. As he spoke, he picked up the freshly grilled pork rib skewers again, took a hard bite, and said with a crunchy back molar: Your wolf son of Yunxiao Country has the ambition to destroy the world, and our resistance army swears not to share the sky with you.

The old man smashed his mouth and said: Look at what you said, people live well in the virtual space? It's time to sing, it's time to dance, it's time to have skewers, it's time to have sex, it's time to have sex, it's okay to have sex, we don't abuse them, we don't treat them as experiments, we don't treat them as batteries.

Gordon scoffed: What is the dignity of living by putting people in containers and letting them live by dreaming? Why don't you take out their brains, chop up their bodies and feed them to the dogs, how good and trouble-free it is to feed such a brain? Well, we call this kind of canned man.

The old man sighed: that is absolutely not dropping, we still have to give dignity to human beings, in fact, people in the virtual space life is not as unbearable as you think, once a person told me, this is the human race out of Africa, the Age of Discovery, after the human race another great migration, but the direction of immigration is the virtual space, is a continent that does not exist on the earth, not the sea of stars, but also more incomparably vast and boundless, look at the problem from a different angle?

Gordon asks rhetorically: But don't you feel ashamed that you have used despicable techniques to make humans give up their choice, and that they could have chosen between reality and fiction, but have been locked away forever by your sorcery?

The old man smiled bitterly and said: What is the shame of this? At the beginning of the establishment of Yunxiao Company, it was not to run towards your so-called evil behavior, but under the continuous change of economic, political and cultural patterns, taking into account the interests of our company and had to take a last resort, to put it bluntly, the evil behavior you think is a commercial means for ourselves, of course, it is a bit uncomfortable in actual implementation, one sentence or two sentences are not clear, just please don't be so hostile to us.

Gordon glared at the beads and asked: "You have won a great victory in the battle just now, and you can lock all mankind in the sky and rule the whole world with just one more snort, why don't you do it?" Do you have to negotiate with me here? Take off your pants and fart?

The old man said very solemnly: This is exactly our consideration of respecting human choice, you don't like to live in the virtual space, we respect your choice, of course, it is not excluded that there are some people who are coerced by you. Don't talk about this, anyway, you vow to tear us to the end, and fight us in a way that would rather be broken than broken, and the final result is that all the remaining self-reliant people on the earth no longer exist.

Nani? Self-reliant?

That's right, it means that people who don't need instruments to support themselves and can support themselves are the opposite of what you call canned people. The old man explained: Do you have to attack each other and break the net? You have launched a nuclear bomb, and we will also launch a nuclear bomb, and eventually the earth will be completely destroyed after the mutual disagreement of human beings, and the lives will be destroyed, which is not what we want to see, and I believe it is not what you want to see. There are lessons from the past, and we should learn from them.

Gordon searched for what he had learned about human history: I don't remember anything like this ever happened to mankind before!

The old man said very devotedly: Five million and one thousand thirty-four years ago, the two factions of the Autobots and Decepticons on Cybertron Star pinched every day, and no one obeyed anyone, and finally destroyed their home planet beyond recognition, and they themselves couldn't stay anymore, but they ran to the earth to continue to die.

Gordon was speechless: You're talking about cartoons, right?

Comprehend the spirit, the commanders of those two factions are tendons, but at least I'm not right now.

Gordon sighed: You forced us.

The old man was a little impatient, drank a whole glass of wine, and poured it again: I am here to make a statement, our Yunxiao Company respects the choice of independent people, and is willing to coexist with you on this earth, please don't treat all this with simple justice and evil, and don't use the stubborn idea of having you without me and me without you to decide all this. Just like people who had cancer in the past, they could live in symbiosis with the cancer vesicles for a long time through treatment, and the person would not die, but some people just couldn't tolerate having to cut off the cancer vesicles and eventually cause the cancer cells to spread throughout the body, and soon both parties would die, which was meaningless.
