Just yesterday, when I met Xiaoya for the first time, Strangling heard the legend of the "werewolf" on Yongquan Island from her.

The self-proclaimed "werewolf" serial killer is ostensibly an anti-chipist. He fanatically attacked the top management of various companies, demanding that newborns no longer be equipped with chips.

It sounds as if there is some kind of divinity, a great sense of self-sacrificing purity. After all, the "werewolf's" appeal has nothing to do with him, and he will not get any benefit from it.

But the smarter ones will realize that this is an absolutely impossible appeal. Nowadays, the order, commerce, finance, and even the development of all walks of life in the sky island are all based on "chip" technology, and suddenly removing the chip is like pumping the base of a high-rise building out of thin air.

Since everyone knows it, the werewolf's appeal will never be realized... Then there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that the "werewolf" is a maniac with an iron head. Knowing that he won't get any results, he would rather burn his life to the brim...... His actions are actually no different from committing suicide by hitting a wall. They all frightened people with their heroic deaths, but they couldn't change anything.

Another possibility...... It's that everything he does is a show. The chip is not important at all, what matters is the existence of "werewolves" in people's cognition. Just like the words that Strangulation said to Xiaoya before... As long as werewolves are active, many evils can be called werewolves.

When night falls, people don wolf skins and eat people. But when the day came again, everyone took off their wolf skins, and inside were gentle, good gentlemen. After "werewolves" became a sort of public perception, all this became irreversible.

Even if the executive department of Yongquan Island really arrests the original "werewolf", this carnival will not stop because of this. People have a thousand reasons to deny that werewolves have been caught, and they have 10,000 excuses to say that this is just another show, and that what has been caught is just a stand-in, an actor, an innocent scapegoat.

- At the end of the day, it's because people need werewolves. That's why werewolves appeared.

But Xiaoya is not very interested in this kind of urban legend after all, and werewolves are now just a small spice in people's lives. Although it has been placed on the table, it has not become the focus of the conversation...... Therefore, the information given by Xiaoya is not complete.

And from the mouth of this prosthetic doctor who talked a lot, the strangulation got more and more detailed information:

"Werewolf" is actually a legend with quite a long history. It can even be traced back to earthly times.

There is a race that usually looks like a normal person... And when the full moon comes, it goes berserk and becomes a wolf that walks upright. This race is known as the "Werewolves". If you are bitten by a mad werewolf, you will also become infected and become a new werewolf.

"Infected..."

Strangler muttered in a low voice, "Werewolves can make more people werewolves and suffer from a contagious madness. That's why he named him Werewolf."

No wonder.

He finally understood the reason for the other party's name.

Strangling can even roughly figure out what the other party looks like-

In the strangulation's intuition, the "werewolf" should be a man in his thirties. Based on the experience of strangulation, this "werewolf" is supposed to be a paranoid and autistic conspirator. He probably wears glasses, has a decadent temperament, has a scruffy beard, and is taciturn. He probably won't have any friends...... Because his personal abilities will go far beyond the social circle around him, and his personality will not be accepted.

Such a person, if one day he has the ability to change the world, will become very terrifying. Because he has nothing to fear, only a depressed atmosphere that cannot be expressed. And he didn't have any friends with whom he could talk, share, and discuss, and stop his overly radical thoughts.

Judging from the current chaos on Yongquan Island, werewolves should be happy to see this chaotic scene now, and even take the initiative to contribute to the trouble.

Although the "werewolf" is only a mortal, he will become a scourge—a scourge that even the company cannot fight. Because the werewolf is not a person, he is the aggregate of the evil thoughts in the hearts of all people, and it is the one who opens people's evil thoughts

Prison keys. The prison door has been opened, evil thoughts and malice have been released, and his existence or absence is meaningless.

Even killing the werewolf will not help.

So far... Sooner or later, the "werewolf" will land on the island of happiness. Because he didn't have any ideals, and he didn't have any clear purpose. A person with a direction can be intercepted and his actions can be predicted. But he didn't think about anything, just wanted to stir up chaos...

Such people are the most terrifying.

Seriously, Strangulation would love to see the Godfather touch the werewolf.

Because from the werewolf, the strangulation vaguely saw the smell of the "curtain of ignorance".

Strangled though didn't go to school ... He wasn't literate, but he wasn't stupid. Able to break free from his father's control, to remain intact in the midst of the company's machinations, and ultimately to be able to navigate the ranks of the Lower Town, he is irritable, but not a dull man.

He was well aware that the "final justice" of the curtain of ignorance promised by the "discordants" – the radical subversion of the present state of society – was nothing more than a lie.

Because man is not omniscient, every decision he makes will be wrong to some degree; Because people make mistakes, they cannot be fully responsible for all their decisions.

The kind of democratic voting that the Curtain of Ignorance pursues, which excludes all positions and decides all matters, presupposes omniscience—people must thoroughly understand the hardships, work contents, and task demands of all walks of life, understand their difficulties and interests, understand the extent to which society needs them, and understand how their various products are digested in all aspects of society. Otherwise, it would be selfish to vote based solely on one's own position.

Such a "curtain of ignorance" will never usher in absolute fairness and justice—but will only bring infinite disputes, internal chaos, and self-destruction.

- It is only after people have "omniscience" that they can take a step back and talk about "ignorance".

It's a scenery that you can only see when you have everything and then give it away. Rather than pretending to have given them up in the first place, when you didn't have them all. Whether you have it or not, and whether you can have it, is a very important difference.

The ignorant are merely stirring up disputes.

But he would never have imagined...

As an elf director, the dispute that he couldn't provoke was now realized on Yongquan Island by the exact same path as he did back then.

"The one who hurts you is from the werewolves, the group."

The prosthetic doctor sighed and ended the long operation.

"Werewolves, and what about groups?"

"Hmm. Although there is only one true werewolf, the crowd of 'worship, werewolves has formed a variety of different groups. There are real anti-chipist fools in it, who worship werewolves as if they were the real thing; There are also large and small companies fishing in troubled waters, in order to play a black hand on the enemy and muddy the waters; There are also *** who simply enjoy the collapse of this order, hate everyone, and gather together to take revenge on society.

"Regardless of what the original werewolves thought, 'Werewolves, the times have risen. A lot of people don't want it to end like this."

The doctor took off his mask as he cleaned up his things: "They probably thought you were here to deal with a werewolf incident... Be careful, they will come a second time if they can come. In the Brokers, there are probably some of them. They are everywhere...... Just to provoke a war..."

"—can I fit a prosthetic?"

Strangler couldn't wait to interrupt the prosthetic doctor's words, and with a stiff and urinating body, he slowly got up from the operating chair and moved a small section of his arm that was welded to the prosthetic chassis: "Just plug it in, right?"

"You'll have to wait two hours," the doctor lazily said, "plug it in now, and you'll die of pain."

"Go to the toilet first, and wait for Xiaoya to bring you back breakfast." After eating, come back and inject two 5% concentration of cognitive enhancers intravenously. When your heart rate drops below 50, it's better to plug it in again..."

But at this moment, the doctor suddenly changed

Turned pale.

He seemed to have received some news, and the whole person suddenly became nervous.

He put down the equipment in his hand directly, and crossed over to the strangulation in two steps.

He was about to reach out and touch the strangulation, but his hand was halfway up and then retracted.

"What's wrong?"

Strangling directly asked impatiently, "Don't be such a, what's wrong?"

"Xiaoya sent a message that something happened to her side."

The doctor was silent for a moment, but then spoke up.

Hearing this, Hang's face changed, and his face was solemn: "Where is it? What's the situation? How many people?"

"It's close! Go out and turn left, 1,300 meters.... It's not that something happened to her, it's that she came back and ran into a massive gang firefight. I don't know how many people, but I used small and medium-sized mechs, and there are some mages who are now hiding in a nearby store, and I don't know how long she can last, I have to go to Mr. Huang first! Damn it, I don't know where he is."

But no sooner had the doctor said this than the strangulation grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Don't worry, doctor."

He kept his face calm and said in a low voice, "Give me the prosthetic hand first."

「… You're going to die if you take this thing now."

The prosthetic doctor understood the meaning of strangulation in an instant, but he frowned and opened his mouth to warn, "It's not much more comfortable than a steel needle in your shoulder. It hurts like that, and it's useless for you to run over."

"Huh. I thought it hurts, that's all?"

Strangler scoffed, "Just say if you can take it."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

The doctor took a deep look at the strangulation, "You said it yourself. Don't blame me for the pain."

"Don't disgust me. Lao Tzu is not that kind of person."

"Okay."

As he spoke, the doctor first sent a brief message to Mr. Huang asking for help.

Then he slapped the breathing mask he had just taken off into the strangulation's arms: "Put it on and take ten deep breaths. After that, don't pick it up when you go out, just keep taking it with you and keep breathing deeply."

Strangler urged, "Can you hurry?"

"***Don't speak, take your deep breath first-"

The prosthetic doctor picked up the prosthetic hand next to him, plugged it into various wiring, and began to download the driver and change various initial settings for it.

His hands flew quickly in the void in front of him, and his face turned fierce: "In two minutes, I will definitely be able to pick you up!"

Strangler took a deep breath, white smoke filling the mask. Mechanics. Lesser. Faction.

Oh, that's familiar.

Mage...... Is it the one who attacked the inferior?

Isn't that a coincidence?

The dark golden light under his pupils also flickered with his breathing.
