yes, it's desperate.

The shadowchasers could understand the president's thoughts.

The once glorious civilization was destroyed, the original tools turned over and pressed on the head of the original master, and the former self-proclaimed master of all things, discarding the higher beings who believed in the despicable gods, was suddenly expelled from his homeland, and could only be trapped in the isolated sky city, planning a counterattack for decades, only to be defeated one after another, and the civilization struggled between survival and destruction.

Everything was so desperate.

Who doesn't know that even if the memory is awakened, the clone is still a clone, and it can never become the real self, even if the clone named itself still walks in time, but in essence, the self is dead when it dies? However, even if it is a civilian, he still tries to make himself believe that the clone is still himself, calmly faces the new life after death, and regards the newborn clone as the relative in the past.

Who doesn't know that humanity simply cannot sustain a large-scale war by relying only on the basic resources of the capital area, and that in the face of the machinery that occupies the world's resources, there is little hope of victory on the human side? But for decades, everyone in the floating city is still trying to prepare for war and try their best to resist the invasion of machinery.

Who doesn't know that the whole world has fallen, and it is not reasonable that only the capital area can withstand the attack of the machinery that concentrates global forces? The ground cities corresponding to the floating cities can launch a siege battle with hundreds of thousands of troops every once in a while, and how much pressure will the capital area, as the last ground stronghold of mankind, bear? How can there be more than enough to mine minerals for the use of the floating cities, and even have the surplus to concentrate the research results of all the floating cities and produce new high-power weapons for various cities?

But what if you know?

In this world where you can only see despair, what else can you do but use the only hope that the capital area is still resisting to anesthetize yourself and support yourself?

Even in the midst of despair, seeing a glimmer of hope is the driving force to support humanity to persevere, and if even this hope is lost, when hope is shattered and only despair remains, the only choice for humanity is to give up on itself, and civilization will really come to an end.

In fact, there are already signs of self-abandonment, compared to the generation that just landed in the sky city a few decades ago, this generation is indulging in lust and greed for pleasure, although it is still trying, but it is not as good as before. This is the result of maintaining the hope of the metropolitan area, and no one dares to imagine that if the metropolitan area is really proven to be a lie, the hearts of the people will collapse at a rapid pace.

In fact, there was no need to imagine, just look at Delia's expression on the side, she finally understood why Shuer had suggested that she leave the table just now, and it was still too exaggerated for her to accept this information unprepared. Therefore, the girl's face is now as pale as paper, her body trembles like a fallen leaf in the wind, she has lost the shelter of the building, and the direct sunlight is shining on her face, making her eyes white and vast, and her vision has lost focus, and she only feels that the world is spinning.

It wasn't until she felt a big hand grasp her small hand that the girl recovered from the chaos, but even so, she felt a buzzing in her ears, her throat was dry, and not only could she not say a word, but the sounds around her seemed to come from a distant place.

"You saw that, too, Mr. Shure. The president of the black market said with a wry smile, "Maybe you can't understand it, but our world is too fragile to withstand a single blow, and even if you know that there are many problems in the capital area, no one is willing to dig into it." ”

"Hmm. Shure nodded, without going through a similar despair, he really couldn't put himself in the shoes of the human beings in this world. However, he couldn't help but feel bitter when he thought of Pavatiga's future, it was true that he had not experienced similar despair now, but it was difficult to say whether the same despair would befall him in a few years.

"Mr. Shull has mentioned the Mechanics before. "Let's be honest, the Mechanics are humans who have completely given up hope, who have been crushed by despair and turned to worship the radicals who incarnate as data, and some even sneak down to the surface and call themselves pilgrimages. And those radicals who can already only make logical judgments actually do not kill them, but do not know what they have done to them, this process is called a blessing by them, and after the blessing will send them back to the city in the sky, so that they can encourage more people to become believers. In the previous two years, two cities in the sky had fallen in a row, the result of internal destruction by the followers of the Mechanic Cult. Therefore, the various forces in the city are extremely resistant to the worship of the Mechanics, and they will show no mercy to the cultists who reveal their identities. To tell you the truth, before I met a few of them, I had doubts about the identities of a few of them, and I was worried that you were a traitor sent by the machine. ”

"Because we take your kind with us?"

"Well, we can detect that you have a lot of electronic devices on you, including a biological brain-like device, which is very similar to us, and it is very similar to machinery. Of course, the most important point is that you are too suspicious when you appear. ”

"Oh, yes, we come and go freely in the herd of mechanical beasts, and it's hard not to think of those people when the mechanical beasts turn a blind eye to us. Shul nodded, "However, there should be a difference." ”

"There was a difference, and we quickly dispelled our suspicions, because ...... You've destroyed a lot of automatons. There were no more displays around, and the guild leader gave up on the image presentation, "The biggest characteristic of the Cymbinists is that they will never attack any automatons. ”

"Of course, we don't attack the gods we believe in, and even disrespect is a felony, presumably they do. Shul sighed lightly, "Put this issue aside for now, and discuss it privately when you have time, or go back to the question just now." ”

"Well, how high our price is depends on how big Mr. Shure's appetite is. The president stared at Shure's face, "So we need to know what you really want." ”

"You don't have to test me anymore, I said from the beginning that we are only envoys, and only projections, and we will not bring anything, and we will not take anything with us, we will only want to exchange information with you, and we have no interest in invading your world. Of course, Shuer would not know what the purpose of the president's repeated temptations was, just like when he first encountered those metal lifeforms, he was also full of vigilance against that alien civilization, even if he had personally experienced its memory, he would not be at ease, and he would have to verify it repeatedly, but now that the outsider has replaced himself, it is strange that the other party is not so careful, "Our rule is not to interfere in the native world, so you can rest assured." ”

"Is there an exchange of information?" said the guild with a frown, "the scope is too wide, what does it include?"

"As long as it's informational. Shul squinted his eyes and whispered, "Language, words, history, star charts, humanities, nature, everything. ”
