Chapter 6 The Customs of Tongshen Island

Happiness Island is not particularly far from Tongshen Island, but there is also a transfer from Sun Island on the way.

He left before lunch, about eleven o'clockβ€”he didn't even have time to go home to get his things, because Director Amirus had already contacted the headquarters of Sun Island and helped Russell prepare very thoughtful luggage in the first class cabin of Sun Island's transfer to an airship.

We have everything you need for a business trip, and you even have credit sticks that you can use on Toshin Island. When you connect to the network of Kamishima, you can transfer it directly to your account.

At the same time, Amirus didn't really let Russell go alone...... He also arranged for Russell to have three bodyguards who could be met by Russell when he changed trains at Sun Island in the evening.

It is said that they are a man and two women, both of whom are elites of the Sun Island Enforcement Department, and they are also legitimate psionic beings armed with psionic energy - unlike the members of the Executive Department who poached people from prison on Happiness Island, the psionic guards of Sun Island are psykers who have received advanced psionic education and are equipped with expensive weapons and consumables.

The execution department of Tianen Group, if you want to use the psychic chip, you have to use the "internal price" to buy. A large portion of their salary is used to update equipment, replenish consumables, and maintain prosthetics.

And the executive department of Sun Island is an elite who is hired by multiple examinations, and there is no cannon fodder caught from prison at all.

Their psionic chips are directly reimbursed for free, and they only charge the cost price for updating their equipment. In this way, the spirit and combat effectiveness will inevitably be heaven and earth.

"To be honest, I can accompany you to Sun Island."

Bad Day leaned his legs on the table, tilting the chair back at a dangerous angle.

He said casually, "When the time comes, I'll have to hide...... Why don't I go straight to Tongshen Island and wait for you? ”

"Yes. I'll be there at about half past ten in the evening. ”

Russell looked intently at the beef patty that made a sizzling sound on the iron plate in front of him, and didn't even pay attention to what Bad Day said.

He carefully cut the meatloaf with a knife, and the burnt brown skin easily cracked, and the rich aroma of meat came to his face. Beneath the crispy and flexible skin is a meatloaf made of textured but non-firewood filling, and evenly scattered with soybean-sized pieces of almost completely melted fatty meat.

To relieve the greasy, it is also sprinkled with a mixture of three peppers and powdered spices. Combined with the aroma of the meat, it is a delicious taste that will make you feel good.

It's like the "bread tree" in a fairy tale. Without additional and complicated processing, it already has such a posture when it comes out of the factory - this is the romance of synthetic meat.

This is the beauty of a mixture of industry and art.

"I remember you've been to Tongshen Island."

Russell will cut off a piece of juicy meat, submerge it in a viscous, transparent, well-balanced dipping sauce next to it, and place it in his mouth.

His voice was a little indistinct, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" ”

"The first thing to pay attention to is not to let others think that you are a smart person at a glance."

Bad Day shrugged: "In Happiness Island, this kind of consensus is good and can save time on both sides...... But on Tongshen Island, you'd better still be a little Riddler. ”

"Why, people here like to tell riddles?"

"Really."

Bad Day scoffed and nodded.

After he finished explaining, Russell understood:

The people of Tongshen Island have a custom of "meditation".

It is a philosophical view similar to that of the knowledge of things, which holds that there is a spiritual reality in the depths of the human soul, and that this "intelligent entity" can be unearthed through meditation, hypnosis, and oneness with nature, from which the revelation of the soul and true wisdom can be derived.

Compared with the "intelligent entity", the knowledge obtained by the outside world through experience and learning is not real wisdom, but an illusory shadow projected by wisdom on the curtain of life. If you try to grasp the shadow, you won't be able to catch anything. Only by jumping out of one's own life can we seek "true wisdom".

And this kind of wisdom, of course, cannot be described in words. No one can fully attain that kind of wisdom, only the degree of proximity is different.

The closer you get to "true wisdom", the more "there is a sense of Zen between words and deeds...... That's probably what it feels like.

People who are particularly good at speech, verbosity, and lotus tongue show that their hearts are not deep enough.

The "great wisdom" they believe in is the type of "famous quotes" who are good at saying short and deep meanings, and can carefully ponder and even make a reading comprehension. They care more about the "quiet temperament of a wise man" than they mean clearly.

To put it simply, they think that the Riddler is the most compelling image of the "wise man".

"Sounds scary."

Russell complained: "'Hiding wisdom' is the appearance of wisdom. How many demagoguery are there to be here...... It is not surprising that there are even some strange sects. ”

"That's true. There is a large-scale human trafficking on Tongshen Island, which is even connived at by Theosophical Heavy Industries. ”

Bad Day directly held the meatloaf and took a bite, but the juice that burst out of it didn't stain Bad Day's hands and clothes at all for some reason: "Isn't this 'synth) hatched from those people who are bought and sold?"

"Shenzhi Heavy Industries not only focuses on production, but also on research and development. The most efficient R&D is to go beyond the safety process and conduct experiments directly on the human body; In the same way, because of the first consensus and the second consensus, materials related to the human body are also materials that will always be scarce.

"Of course, this is not surprising. This mode of cannibalism is actually found on any empty island, but the form and name are different.

"On Happiness Island, it's called 'Idol Trainee', on Holy Blood Island, it's called 'Phased Medical Clinical Volunteers', and on Yongquan Island, it's called 'Exploration Team Supernumerary'...... In this day and age, human life is the least valuable thing.

"But on the other hand, it's an eternally scarce resource. No matter how incompetent a person is, his internal organs are valuable. ”

Bad Day said indifferently: "You can be careful......

"Although I was caught in Tongshen Island, I won't be pulled to shoot any underground videos like Happiness Island...... But you're dealing with a process that's pretty much the same as shooting that kind of underground video. It's just going to be a little more professional. ”

"I'm not going to get caught. Because I'm not going to get into that gutter. ”

"So confident? What are you...... Already figured out how to investigate? ”

"Indeed."

Russell raised his head, looked at the bad day, and the corners of his mouth rose: "After all, I have acquaintances here." ”

Bad Day thoughtfully: "Mage......

"β€”That's right.

"The uncensored people on Tongshen Island are not in Lower Town. Their status here is exceptional...... I can find help from the mages, which means I'm in league with them. So I'm not going to have too much trouble. ”

Workers make up the vast majority of the middle and lower class population, and it is very difficult to expect workers to seek their own rights. It is very easy to incur retaliation and liquidation...... So those "uncoded" can stand up and do justice for their workers.

If they lose their chips, they can't send messages to others secretly, and it's hard to be bought;

They have no money, no means to trade with others, and can only live in other people's homes;

And as uncensored people, they are not legal citizens, and they are not protected by the first consensus and the second consensus, so if they take refuge in the company and are unloaded and killed, there is no countermeasure.

This overwhelming dependence on other civilians makes them extraordinarily trustworthy - and civilians are even proud of how many uncensored people they have provided. The loss of the chip wasn't all bad for these uncensors, at least it made it impossible for Sanity Heavy to locate them, and it also had powerful psionic powers and spells.

"Because of this, the angels of the church are not easy to speak on the island of Tongshen. Their situation is worse than ours, even in Uptown...... Their side is also a point of focus.

"Ask the mage first, then the church; Then ask the head office, and then ask the no-code people. They are all opposites, and if they corroborate each other's intelligence, the accuracy will not be low. ”

That sounds outrageous......

Bad Day couldn't help but complain in his heart.
