Chapter 841: The Future (Part II)
In the snap of a finger, it fell from thousands of years of history and headed for the future.
Ye Qingxuan was in the chaos, and he could only extract a few fragments.
'Asset merger'...... 'data age'...... 'polymer material breakthrough'......' 'super large collider'...... 'man-machine revolution'......
In the end, the speed was so fast that he couldn't catch up, and he couldn't even find a fragment.
In just an instant, he fell from the ancient palace and came to the dark world.
Countless clouds covered the sky.
There was a pungent smell in the air, countless towering chimneys spewed thick fog into the sky, and foul-smelling torrential rain fell from the sky and fell to the ground along countless glittering giant trees.
But when I looked closely, I realized that it was not a giant tree that supported the sky and extended behind the dark clouds, but a jaw-dropping tall building.
Through the fence, the hurricane below is blowing in your face, and looking down, you can see the clouds surging, and the ground is covered in thick fog, so you can't see clearly.
In the next moment, Gaius's perspective was detached from the perspective of a man, and he had a wonderful vision that almost overlooked the whole world. He saw the steel-covered earth under the thick fog, and the countless buildings that rose into the sky like a forest, and the deformed slaves sleeping in countless rooms like pigeon cages.
And at the very top, above the clouds, in the splendid dwellings enjoying the sun and fresh air, well-dressed aristocrats sang and danced, tasting the wine and delicacies that had long been extinct on the earth.
"It's ...... What?"
Gaius looked back sluggishly and saw Charles' smile, which seemed to be pity and peace with the gods on high above.
"This is the world forged by your desires. β
He looked down on heaven and earth and answered Gaius's question:
"ββA 'bright future' after the freedom of capital. β
As he spoke, he took Gaius forward, stepping out, the roar in the workshop was coming, and in the pungent smell of the potion, on the huge assembly line, countless creations were moving rapidly, being assembled by workers on both sides.
The emaciated workers in the cramped booths had an indescribable calm.
It's as if assimilated with machinery.
There are even many more people who have some of their own machines implanted.
"They are slave laborers, the lowest people in this world, who work more than eighteen hours a day in exchange for pay. β
"This is a filter factory, and if you don't install filters, you won't even survive three hours in the terrifying air outside," Charles said.
Tens of thousands of people work in this factory, 24 hours a day, never stopping, and there are hundreds of thousands of such factories around the world, supporting an incredible prosperity.
Unfortunately, they have no assets and no freedom to speak of, because they have already sold their ownership to the factory.
They are the lowest kind of tool slaves, without the skills, and can only do these jobs that have not yet been replaced by machines, and they are not seen as human beings.
And you...... Over there. β
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the large portrait at the top of the workshop. The man in the portrait is majestic and noble, like the chosen people of God.
When the monotonous bell rang, the mechanical assembly line came to an abrupt halt, and all the slave laborers got up in unison, raised their heads, looked up at the portrait above their heads, and sang the carol reverently and neatly.
Praise to the great revolutionary leader Gaius, praise the great FΓΌhrer......
"You are the founder of this country's assets, known as the father of civilization, revered for thousands of years, and a true deity. Countless people have fought to defend your ideals. β
Gaius staggered back.
"That's not right......"
In the next moment, they came to the large, gloomy building, where the coat of arms representing the Republic hung high above it, reflecting a cold glow.
"This is a branch of the Purge Management Committee, which is commonly known as the Authority. β
Charles pushed open the door for him: "Do you want to go and see? There is a child who has scribbled on your portrait is on trial, and the person who reported him is his brother, the child."
For this, he was rewarded and commended by the great leader. β
In Gaius's blank gaze, the child with the Gaeus badge on his chest was stepping on the red carpet and walking out of the Authority with his head held high, his eyes determined and calm.
"Would you like to talk to him?"
Charles asked, reaching out and stopping the child.
The child looked at them with a frown, at their chests, and soon his expression turned disgusted.
"Oh, forgot, you didn't wear this. β
Charles stretched out his hand, pinned two badges to Gaius and himself, and waved his hand, and the unhappiness in the child's eyes disappeared.
"Excuse me, what's the matter? Two gentlemen, ah, I see. β
The child seemed to have anticipated it, raised his sleeve and wiped the badge on his chest: "Please feel free to look at it, but don't stain it." β
"I ......"
Gaius stared at him blankly, his lips open and closed, but he could not speak knowing that the child was impatiently leaving.
"That's just a badge...... That's just a badge......"
"Authority cannot be insulted, the sacred bourgeois revolution is the cornerstone of the establishment of the state, and even the holy emblem cannot be desecrated. β
Charles turned, "Let's go, sir, we still have a lot of places to see, it seems that you are not used to the feeling of being a god." β
The memories that followed have been shattered under the huge impact.
Gorgeous halls, soft carols, sheng songs and swallow dances...... Alienated human ...... Trial...... Surveillance...... Report...... Acquisition...... Asset Change ...... Fall...... Rise......
Ye Qingxuan could see that Gaius roared angrily, facing Charles, questioning, arguing, and then changing in the future, becoming ...... again More difficult to understand.
In this kaleidoscopic demonic realm, soon, the will of the weak is exhausted.
In the end, all that remained was ruins.
Countless malevolent radiations filled the surface, and deformed humans crawled on the barren ground, greedily licking the mud.
In the midst of the wreckage, the statue of Gaius shattered and fell to the ground.
The majestic face is covered with dust.
Gaius sat down on the ground, his hair disheveled, staring blankly at the desolation, muttering something, but he could not hear himself.
At last, he turned frantically and threw himself at Charles, tugging at his collar:
"No! Let me see again! Something must be wrong! The human world should be perfect! This time, I will definitely be able to ......"
"It doesn't matter. β
Charles smiled pitifully, the last words of the memory:
"You can watch it for as long as you want......
At that moment, Ye Qingxuan's tracing came to an abrupt end.
Because the old man screamed.
He woke up from his dream, frantically struggling, falling from the operating table, hissing, and madly ramming into those who stood in front of him, destroying everything that was intact.
"No, no, no, it's not right, it should have been perfect, it's not my fault, I'm not wrong!"
He screamed, hysterical, and looked at everyone with reddened eyes:
"I'm not wrong! I don't !!"
No one responded.
Everyone watched him silently, watching him roar hoarsely, and finally, exhausted, he sat down on the ground, giggled, and then burst into tears, tearing his hair and face, curling up in the corner, and muttering to himself: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
I'm sorry.
Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes.
He's gone crazy.
It's not even Charr's revenge.
From the beginning, when he was crushed by countless sacrifices and lost his way, this end was doomed. He couldn't face the sacrifices of his colleagues, he couldn't face his own kindred, and he couldn't face so much pain.
He can only deceive himself, and deceive himself that the sacrifice is worth it, for the future, for something else.
Whatever it is.
He could never find that perfect world.
When this bubble was punctured, he was no longer far from madness.
How will he face the world after he has been overwhelmed by guilt and despair, what he has pursued all his life has been destroyed, and the price of his life's sacrifice has lost its meaning?
"Kill him. β
Ye Qingxuan's eyes lowered and clenched his fists: "When I think of the teacher sacrificing for such a madman, I feel ...... Worth. β
"Unfortunately, we can't. β
The head of the Silent Agency replied.
"What do you mean?"
"Literally, we can't kill him. β
The old musician replied: "His body has been inhuman, and even the imminent fatal brain tumor has been removed."
Something was sustaining his life, and every time he was on the verge of death, it would restore him to his original state, like this. β
He drew his sword and slashed sharply, slashing off Gaius's head.
But the skull rolled on the ground, blood spilled, and then flowed backwards towards the wound, and not a drop was left back into the shell, and finally, the head returned to its original position.
No more scars.
"We've tried all sorts of things, and in a sense, he's become a scourge, almost immortal. The person in charge sighed softly: "Even if it is burned to ashes, it can be reborn from the fire...... That god, I'm afraid he doesn't want to let him go so easily, right?
Originally, we could have given him tranquilizers and hypnotics, so that he could fall asleep, but now that his body has become resistant to drugs, it won't be long before even dreams become a luxury for him. β
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
If the average person is concerned, this kind of immortality may be undesirable, but for Gaius...... This is eternal punishment and torture.
He couldn't escape anything by dying.
Live forever in pain.
Facing all this in pain forever.
"I know your news, you can go, take him with you...... I don't want to look at him again. β
Ye Qingxuan retracted his gaze and pushed the door out.
Ignore the person in charge who is chasing after him. The man was stopped by his subordinates, and from a distance he seemed to be shouting something to himself.
But he didn't want to listen anymore.
But when he pushed open the door, he saw a man under the steps.
And the familiar faces.
"First meeting, Your Excellency. I took the liberty to visit, and I also invited Haihan. β
At the foot of the steps, His Majesty Don Juan, the first citizen of Burgundy and the Great Emperor, smiled at him with a familiar smile: Can you take a moment to it?"
