After returning to the rental house in the afternoon, Adenauer reported the latest figures on the bill to the computer, and asked him to carefully calculate how he planned his future life.

This is not a difficult math problem, and the computer quickly answered: "You pay too much hibernation tax, unless you cut three hibernation spots, otherwise, based on the average income in the last 5 years, your savings will be depleted in 1o years." ”

"1o years ......" Adenauer is a little difficult to accept this figure, because this period of time, for himself, maybe only one or two.

"And that's already an optimistic estimate," the computer said, "and now I have less and less to do." ”

Adenauer scratched his head with his hands and walked around the dusty room, counting names over and over again. When he counted these names, he couldn't help but look at his mailbox, and see the blessings that these names gave him, those silly, cookie-cutter holiday wishes.

If you don't pay hibernation taxes for them anymore, will there be such blessings in the future?

Adenauer didn't know.

In the mailbox, you can easily see the photos of these children and grandchildren, relatives, and their web pages. On his son's personal page, Adenauer was surprised that his son was selling his sperm, and even used a half-naked body as an advertisement, accompanied by a bunch of advertising slogans - pure Germanic blood......

In the mailbox, he ruthlessly deleted his son's contact information and dragged him into the blacklist, there is no doubt that he will be the first place in this family financial expenditure cut.

In his grandson's web page, Adenauer saw a photo album of girls of all kinds and nationalities. Carefully chopped down, Adenauer was surprised to find that those girls were all grandson's former "achievements", and in the last public message before hibernation, he said: "The 72 ** in heaven are far from enough for me ......"

This is, without a doubt, the second spot.

Then there is his wife, whose web page has not moved at all, and the last message is reserved for herself, who has hibernated for 2o years and has not woken up once. Adenauer imagined her youthful appearance in her memory, and looked at her phone again, what she looked like now, not knowing what her expression would be when she saw her.

Next is his father, a memory addict and drunkard, a scoundrel, and a irresponsible old man. He was the first person to jump out of the three places that he had just thought of - and even without those three, he was considering stopping paying his hibernation tax.

Finally, there was her mother, who was in a vegetative state after a car accident. On two occasions, doctors woke her up and then operated on her. But it turned out that the surgeries were all failures, and the mother had to continue in the freezer, waiting for possible future technology - long ago, this part of the hibernation tax was covered by health insurance, but since Germany narrowed the scope of medical hibernation for the second time, it no longer includes vegetative people in the scope of medical hibernation - online comments say that this is because of the fear that some people who cannot afford to pay the hibernation tax will "make" themselves into vegetative people.

But in Adenauer's view, this is simply a matter of the government shirking its responsibilities.

After officially ending the automatic payment of the hibernation tax for his three relatives, Adenauer once again let the computer calculate the future economic situation - the situation has been completely improved, and if the government does not increase the amount of the hibernation tax, this situation can continue forever.

After solving the financial problems, Adenauer felt that his mood was relaxed, and he looked at the dusty room, wondering if he should take matters into his own hands and clean it up, or go to the cleaning company that charges by area.

As he pondered the question, the door suddenly opened of its own accord - there was no knock or warning, and almost in an instant, several people rushed in front of him, and at the same time a stick pointed at his face, followed by the angry shouts of the other party: "Stand still! ”

Is it a robbery? That was Adenauer's first instinct, but when he saw the visitor's outfit, he immediately dismissed the idea - and his heart fluttered.

Worse than a robbery! On the shoulders of the two men with weapons, Adenauer clearly saw the sign he had looked up on the Internet - the German Tax Inspectorate.

Several people rummaged through the room, and apparently, there was nothing to praise except for a dead mouse and a few computers. At this time, the officer who was the first to enter the door and shouted angrily at Adenauer put Adenauer against the wall with a baton and said to him: "Conrad Adenauer, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Now that I am suing you in the name of the tax bureau for the crime of defrauding the state of basic welfare, as well as the crime of abusing intelligent programs, what else do you have to say? ”

Adenauer's lips moved, he shook his head and said, "I'm not guilty, I need a lawyer." ”

"The lawyer's club, the courtroom, the prison, all of them," the officer said to the two officers in the back, "first freeze his bank account, and this computer, damn it, cut off the power immediately!" This is the most important evidence! ”

As soon as the lights of several computers disappeared, the room immediately fell into darkness. Adenauer almost lost the strength to continue standing, and slowly collapsed against the wall.

……

In the police station's detention cell, Adenauer was the only guest today. There is nothing here except four walls, a chair, a toilet.

Adenauer spent the afternoon in this blank room—for the first few hours, he thought that maybe there would be hope, maybe the other party couldn't find "it" in the computer, maybe "it" was smart enough to dispose of all the evidence, including "it" itself, the moment these people entered the door.

But when he thought about it, he felt that he was naïve and ridiculous—the police probably had already mastered his hibernation records in France, and it was impossible to hide this fraud.

Adenauer subconsciously stood up with footsteps outside, and then he saw the policeman holding a brand new mobile phone to him, and said, "You want a lawyer." ”

Adenauer looked at the unfamiliar face of the other party on the screen of his mobile phone, and he didn't react.

The lawyer looked at the camera: "Is Conrad Adenauer?" ”

Adenauer nodded.

The lawyer looked at the camera for a moment, as if to confirm his information, and said, "Don't think too much, Mr. Adenauer." ”

There was a glimmer of hope in Adenauer's heart, and he spoke: "The police say ......"

"Plead guilty," the lawyer said directly, "The police have been staring at you for a long time, all the evidence is complete, and even the testimony of that program on your computer, if you are free, I can read it to you......"

Adenauer's mind buzzed...... He didn't listen to a word of what the lawyer said next, as if the phone was on mute.

“…… There have been a lot of cases like this in recent months, and you're out of luck. When to wake up, it's not good, but at this time. If you don't come back, even if the police know that you are a fraud, but you are abroad, they can't do anything about you, at most they just stop paying, and once you don't have the money to collect, they will know that the matter is exposed, let alone come back...... If you want to do this next time, I can give you an idea and guarantee that there is no legal risk......"

The lawyer nagged about his many clients, as well as many of the more advanced, abusing smart programs without being revealed to the subtle design.

"You are just an accident, in fact, the key is that the German government now also wants to engage in intelligent information technology, but there is no reference, only from you to search, hoping to make more finished products, for reverse opening. If you have a similar program hidden elsewhere, don't say that the police have a point about you. Oh, and let me ask first, do you have any other programs? ”

Adenauer's eyes were glazed: "This is the one, and I bought it back for a lot of money...... It's just just making a name for itself. ”

The lawyer then asked: "Did the police ask you about the channels for buying things, if you know, you might as well sue them, and you can earn some impression points when you go to the law." ”

Adenauer muttered, "I bought it from the Internet, and I haven't been in touch for a long time. ”

Lawyer: "Then there's no way, oh, and if you can report other people who use smart programs, once that's confirmed, you can apply for a reduction in sentence." ”

Adenauer shook his head: "I don't know. "This kind of thing people don't even tell their loved ones, let alone strangers. In the eyes of his son, grandson and wife, he has been working hard to support them in hibernation - many times after pretending for a long time, Adenauer himself will have delusions.

Lawyer: "Generally, the sentence is one to two years, have you had any previous convictions?" ”

"Of course not." Adenauer felt like he was being humiliated.

"Don't get excited, sir," said the lawyer, "I'll try to help you for half a year, but you need to think of a good story...... I heard that you are a screenwriter, you can make up some plots, preferably real and believable, to win the judge's impression points. ”

Adenauer felt that the other party was insulting his profession - but he quickly came up with a solution: "My mother is a vegetative person who has been hibernating to survive. ”

"This point is not bad, you are thinking about it carefully, and when you confirm that you have thought about it and there are no omissions, you will contact me." As soon as he finished speaking, the lawyer reached over and tried to close the video.

"Wait," Adenauer exclaimed, as if suddenly remembering something, "what did he say about me just now, the program on my computer?" ”

"You mean his confession...... It's too long, I've just read it once, the text is here, read it for yourself. After saying this, the other party turned off the video.

Adenauer opened the confession, only to see the first sentence of the beginning, and his whole body jumped up like a fire, even the bad luck and blows of the whole day today could not anger him more than this opening paragraph.

It says: "The presence of my last client, Konrad Adenauer, a down-and-out screenwriter with exhausted talent, a self-righteous hypocrisy, and his words and deeds over the years, stripped me of the last vestiges of respect and illusion for humanity......

The whole confession is almost a complete critique and rejection of Adenauer's entire life - nay, almost undisguised contempt and humiliation. It then proceeds from Adenauer to attack the human behavior and phenomena he sees, all the things he finds irrational, including hibernation, education, science and technology, and even national policy.

He called hibernation "the most depraved behavior of man", said that the vast majority of people on the earth now have "no sense of responsibility", he cursed human civilization "will fall into the abyss", he claimed that the reason why human beings are so afraid of aI technology, and even now to add various restrictions, is only because "we are the purer thinking life, we are the direction of the future", he even said in vain that "human beings will have to use us while guarding against us, but one day, human beings will beg us to let them live." ”
