388 Enleko (3)
The screen switches again, and Enleko, who is obviously slightly larger than just now, is standing on the terrace with sunlight, looking at the blue sky.
"You look happy." Jing Huayuan said with great interest.
"Well, of course, this is the first time I've seen the sky." Enleko nodded, "I was so scared before I saw the sun, I experienced it many times in the virtual reality, but when I was first exposed to the sun, I still took a step back, and I was so ugly. β
"Chief Engineer, if you come up here, it means that your talent has been discovered, right?"
"Well, I guess it's true, but not in the way I imagined."
As he spoke, the teacher who had given Enhleko the nutrient solution appeared.
"Teacher...... Has the presentation started? β
The teacher's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "I'm sorry...... I'm so sorry...... I've tried very hard to oppose it, but ......"
In junior high school, Enleko stood there with a bewildered expression, as if he had no idea what was going on.
At this time, his teacher suddenly gave him a card, turned around and ran away. Young Enleko was stunned for a long time before he looked down at the card, and he found that it was a credit certificate, which was not recorded so the source would not be found, and it was a hard currency used in black market transactions, which was very common in the lower classes. Enleko read the card with his bracelet, and then froze.
"I guess that's the teacher's reward for using your work?" Jing Huayuan said softly, "Sure enough, it's unfolding like this." β
"Ah, that's how it unfolds. It's very uncreative, by the way. The subsequent unfolding was also very uncreative, and I left the terrace as if I was disheartened. I didn't even have the heart to stay here and look at the night sky. β
The picture switches with Enhleko's statement, showing the young Enleko running away from the top of a high-rise tower in an honestly quite freehand way. It looks like a pre-prepared montage segment.
Eventually, the boy returned to the bottom of the gloomy tower, gasping for breath as the numb-looking people walked through the streets.
He happened to see a scantily clad girl on the side of the road using a dopamine generator, so he stepped forward and asked in a ferociousβor rather ferociousβor rather ferocious tone, "How much is a night?" β
The girl glanced at Enleko with contempt in her eyes, but the look of contempt changed the moment she saw the credit credential in his hand.
Then, the screen cuts again, and Nhleko is lying unconscious on his dirty bed. The girl had long since disappeared, along with all of his belongings.
The sleek boy was awakened by a knock on the door, and the innkeeper who rushed in grabbed the boy, put him on his shoulder, strode out of the hotel, and threw him on the street full of people who went to work in the morning.
The boy stood up, facing the surprised or mocking gazes of the people on the street, and his face was only numb.
Kagami reached out and hugged Enleko (large) from behind. Whispered, "Come, cry in my sister's arms." β
"I can only cry on your head at your height." Enleko regained his true colors in an instant, but immediately shook his head, "So I was so down. I don't know if I don't look at this memory. β
"That! I want to ask questions! Freya seemed to have been holding back for a long time, and now she raised her right hand in the air. I want to ask questions! I don't understand what's going on! I just understood that it was the girl who stole your things. I don't understand the others at all! β
"My teacher, I plagiarized my work. I later learned that her parents forced her, but at the time I felt betrayed by the whole world. β
"Woo woo wow so miserable!" Jinghuayuan cried loudly.
"It doesn't matter if you fake crying, don't really get my snot on me."
Jing Huayuan immediately cleared her nose, and then wiped it back and forth behind Enleko, and wiped it for a while before she suddenly woke up: "Hey, this is in the world of mental images, it's useless for me to wipe it!" That's right, Chief Engineer, that's why you became Troublesome Boy, right? β
"No, I'm not a troubled boy, but a revolutionary army. At least at first. β
As soon as Enleko finished speaking, an uncle with a bearded face appeared behind the young Enleko and put on an overcoat for him.
The young man Enleko turned his head and looked at his uncle with a blank expression.
The uncle said, "Do you want to completely overthrow all these things that are pressing on our heads?" β
Young Enleko was still at a loss.
The uncle grabbed his hand and pulled him into the alley next to him. The three of them immediately followed, and followed the old and the young through the winding alleys, until at last they got into a building, and after taking a look at the guards at the entrance of the building, the uncle pulled Enleko down the stairs, down the floors underground, and finally into a house.
There was a table and a few chairs in the room, and there was only one stove boiling water.
The uncle pressed the young man Enleko to a chair, sat down on the other side of the table, and then crossed his legs to the table, and the bottom of his boots was in a herringbone.
"We know what happened to you, and I have to tell you, it happens every day. The people who live on it try to ensure that all their offspring are good enough by adjusting their genes, but the fact is that geniuses are not necessarily geniuses, and no matter how they adjust their genes, it doesn't work. I heard that the genetic modification technology of the Ilarai people has become strong enough to control their talents, so the entire Ilarai people are experts of all kinds......"
"Huh?" Freya blinked, "No! There is no such thing! It's just that the focus of each person's genetic knowledge base is different! You are mistaken! β
Enleko and Kagami looked at Freya together.
Freya stuck out her tongue: "I'm sorry, I ...... carelessly"
Enleko shrugged his shoulders and continued to turn his gaze back to his teenage self.
"I did think it would be great to be able to ruin everything," Nhleko narrated his silent teenage self, "and that's why I felt like I had found a new pillar when I sang with them, 'There has never been a savior or an immortal emperor,' and their ideas are so appealing to someone like me who has lost everything." β
The screen switched again, and Enleko, who had already put on the uniform of the revolutionary army, was looking at the book in his hand seriously. Jing Huayuan immediately leaned over, but before she could take a closer look, Enleko said: "This is a dystopian novel collected by the Revolutionary Army, and in the colony where I was born, these novels are all forbidden books. For the sake of safety, the revolutionary army kept the novel in paper form, and it was printed in large copies, and no one could steal it from the library management of the revolutionary army, and could only read it in the library. Personally, though, I don't have much interest in these dystopian novels. β
Nhleko shrugged, "I'm interested in the cyberpunk novels in the library, so I've become a hacker, and the Revolutionary Army's perception of me has changed from a researcher to a field agent. We have been carrying out revolutionary activities, but now that we think about it, the so-called revolutionary activities are really a bit petty. We had thought about mobilizing the lower classes to revolt in a massive revolt, but everyone was afraid of the Hell Paratroopers, and from this point of view, the Hell Paratroopers did a great job of deterring them. So we can't mobilize all the lower classes to resist, and we can only pin our hopes on assassinations and all kinds of similar terrorist attacks. β
Enleko shook his head: "Now that I think about it, it's really sad, we want to save the people at the bottom, but the people don't want to be saved, they are used to living a dark life at the foot of high-rise buildings, I guess in another one or two hundred years, the people at the bottom may think that the sun is a terrible thing, and once they face the scorching sun, they will immediately pass out." β
"Ah, that's the premise that Asimov used in the Steel Cave series." "I remember the second part was called Naked Sun, and the title was the fact that the inhabitants of 'Big City' in the book Che had not lived in a natural environment for thousands of years, so they were afraid of the unobstructed sun. By the way, the same thing happened in Wells's pen earlier, in Wells's "Time Machine", human beings are divided, and the human beings working in the dark factories have become a kind of underground creatures who hate sunlight and like to move in the dark, while the ruling class has become incapable of survival because of laziness and laziness, like a lamb-like existence, and every night the underground humans will appear to attack the surface people......"
"Yes, yes, I know you're knowledgeable." After a perfunctory remark, Enleko continued, "Although I have a variety of opinions when I reflect on that time, I was bent on changing the world. I continued to go out in the field, and in less than two years I became the top field expert of the revolutionary army. At that time, I really thought that I would fight for the cause of the people's liberation all my life until my last mission. β
"The final mission?" Jinghuayuan repeated.
"yes, the last mission, you should be able to guess, we were betrayed by traitors. That's how this kind of story unfolds. I was desperate on a skyscraper, so I broke into a house. β
With Nhleko finishing, the scene switches to the moment he was talking about.
Nhleko, who was carrying weapons and other equipment, looked in surprise at the woman with a big belly in the room.
That's exactly the teacher who took away his work.
After a moment of silence, the pregnant teacher said to the young Enleko, "Come over here and hide in the bedroom." β
Nhleko was still stunned, and the teacher stood up, grabbed him by the shoulders, and forcibly pushed him towards the bedroom.
"Take off your clothes and pretend to be with me, so you can avoid searching."
"Impossible," said the young Enleko, "this last century disguise is impossible to evade search, and you must stop the searchers and keep them from entering." β
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
The teacher pushed Enleko into the bedroom, and then answered the door in a trembling voice, "Who, it's not convenient for me to open the door right now." β
The next moment, the people outside the door opened fire.
"Huh?" Freya was startled, her eyes widening as she watched it all.
Nhleko said calmly: "The teacher's voice is trembling, and the commander of the security forces thinks she is lying, so he decided to demonstrate what will happen to the revolutionaries." (To be continued.) )
