Chapter 22: The Real Tower of Babel
"So, when Bad Day said something to me, 'Be a hero, Russell, or something like that, he beheaded the saint and gave it to me."
Russell said with some nostalgia for Flower Touch, "Looking back now, maybe my life began to change at that time."
An elf girl with pink shawl hair is standing with Russell in a rising "elevator" full of technology.
The dragon was going to meet Russell on land, and Russell had never been to earth. So the deer head statue found Flower Touch to help him.
In fact, this is an unnecessary act. After all, when Russell swallows now, it is different from the first imitation - he has already obtained a part of the memory and knowledge of the sheath.
But considering that the sheath has only been on the ground for only a few years, it is far less than the depth of the flower touch's understanding of the land. So Russell responded anyway.
Hua Touch smiled and tilted her head: "Yes. If the Nanliu scene hadn't gone bad at that time, you might still be an executive in the Tianen Group now."
"Indeed."
Russell nodded, "If I hadn't taken that knife at the time, I wouldn't have been a hero; If I hadn't become a hero, I wouldn't have entered the Special Enforcement Department and met the delphinium and the inferior, and I wouldn't have been able to execute the demonized little glass that day."
It was a conspiracy set up by Tovatus the Discordant.
It also means that the delphinium is very likely to die in that crisis. And the inferior can also be driven mad and come into direct conflict with his father. Then it is even more unlikely that his father will give Russell the task of spying on the plans of the Lower City, and it is impossible for him to enter the Lower City at that critical moment, save the Paradise Bird and those *** people, and become the godfather of the Lower City at the same time.
"According to the original trajectory, the batch of psionic chips that have been doped with a special virus will flow into the lower city. After a period of time, the *** people in the lower city will be unknowingly infected, and gradually die and be injured.
"The inferior will become the head of the Special Enforcement Department, and the mages will be completely united and confronted by the Enforcement Department. The angels will thaw and return, joining the Special Operations and confronting the mages head-on. And the last friend who died because of himself will be red-eyed - he wants to kill all these *** people and these criminals.
"That means that the situation in the upper and lower cities of Happiness Island will be exacerbated. The monkey-faced eagle will still be born, but with Morgan killed, no one will know about its existence anymore. It will get enough time to gradually infect the entire island of Tongshen. And after the death of Xiao Liuli and Bai Xue, Bingshui will eventually die in the assassination of Tiansheng.
"The mages will be at an absolute disadvantage, but without the mediation of the Godfathers, their dying throes will wreak great havoc on the Upper Town; The bloodless and merciless angels will not have any fear, and they will cause great damage to the factories of the lower city. And this is related to the previous price increase in the market
"With the rise in prices and the shortage of raw materials, the scale of unemployment on the island of happiness will also increase exponentially. And at the time, that type of 'unemployment' basically meant being one of the *** – that is, losing human rights."
Hua Touch stepped aside and continued: "Coupled with the exponential opposition between *** and citizen, then, as a company dog, what will you do at that time?"
"If I hadn't come out of that, I'd have either been in the equipment department or the cyber security department. If Dodgerson wanted to put me in to take his place, I would be in the PR department. But I'm definitely not going to be unemployed anyway. And that means I'm going to inevitably be a 'wage slave,' a company dog."
Russell smiled helplessly: "Under that level of opposition, personal positions, good and evil, and preferences will lose all meaning. Of course, I could also be sent to the Special Enforcement Department because of the high level of psionic energy, but without the Delphinium and the inferior ones are starting to go crazy, it is not a good choice.
"I'm going to raise the butcher's knife and point it at the *** people who have been pushed homeless. I will be depraved for my relatives and friends, for my own life, and I also like that lazy, mundane, aimless life. "I'll just sit on the sidelines and watch the world go haywire. Watching the mercenaries slaughter in the upper city, watching the angels ruthlessly destroying the factory, watching people unable to buy things and unable to live in houses, watching the order of Happiness Island gradually collapse, people became hysterical
。
"I can't see a lot of things, too. Without a channel to become a mage, I can't see the history and truth of this world; I don't see the synthesizer crisis happening on Tongshen Island, and I don't see the encroachment and infection of the Monkey-faced Eagle program on the Matrix World. I don't see the upheaval in the church, I don't see the rebels on Springs Island
"Even if you see it, it doesn't make any sense. Because at that time, I couldn't do anything."
"—Don't be presumptuous, Russell."
Flower touches the voice that always drags her voice, and it seems to be very underbeaten, and it rarely becomes gentle.
But soon she became beaten again: "A superb tool like you, there will always be someone with a discerning eye who will find you. It's gold that always shines. By that time, you've been pushed to the forefront, and you'll eventually be in the situation you're in.
"The immediate cause of the unrest in the Seven Islands was the rebellion of the Church; The core catastrophe that plunged the world into crisis was the invasion of the world by the twilight; But if we want to say that the root cause of these situations can be traced back to those dragons, and those famous elves who have betrayed their mission and forgotten history.
"These are things that have already happened. You can't change it, and we can't change it. No matter how deeply involved you are in these things, they will happen eventually.
"Compared to the future possibilities you described, I think the world is pretty good right now."
"Not bad..... are you serious?"
Russell was a little helpless: "Don't be worse, flower touch."
"That's right, but the world is worse in the final analysis. Now with you, with those who survived because of your existence, with those who changed their fate and rose from the mud and swamp because of you, with the Brokers who were founded because of you, and with those who survived or changed their fates because of the Brokers."
Hua Touch paused, and looked back seriously: "I really feel that the current world has something more than the kind of future you depicted.
"That's the most precious thing. It's the 'hope' of the dawn." … Hope is poisoned wine. People drink it in drunken dreams, but they often die in agony."
Russell was a little stunned: "Without me, then the future is the 'Civilization Sample Project' represented by the dragon, the 'Thought Uploading Plan' represented by the Church, and the 'Human Completion Plan' represented by the Monkey-faced Eagle. No matter which one you choose, it's rotten, but there is no difficulty in choosing.
"And now that we have me, we're going to explore the fourth possibility. But even I don't know the success rate of that project—I can't fully predict whether I'll be able to devour it until I actually get in touch with it."
"There's nothing worse than that, is it?"
"That's what I said......
Russell sighed, his ears pulling down: "For me, there is only the difference between a successful plan and a failed plan. I need to devour the dreams completely, and I need to be fully rational. Until then, I'll have to deal with dragons and churches. The huge chaos that is rolling up on the seven islands today is actually the fuse that ignites
"I even thought they would go crazy all of a sudden... It is very likely that the dream has sensed the crisis. It gradually came to its senses and began to intervene in the world, to accomplish the great cause of destruction that it had not completed for a long time." "I see."
Hua Touch nodded, knowing in her heart.
Russell was still a little anxious. But she didn't comfort Russell.
For any comfort and relief from others will diminish Russell's purity.
And Russell will feel anxious because of this, which shows that he still has enough humanity at the moment - at least for now, which is a good thing.
"Speaking of which," Flowertouch asked, "out of the 'three choices' of that world line, which future will you end up leaning towards as a company dog?" A sample of the dragon's civilization?"
"If I had to choose, I would choose Thought Upload – the digital kingdom of heaven is also the kingdom of heaven. I'm a person who doesn't really care so much about the gap between the virtual and the real
。 But seriously, there is no difference in essence between the three programs."
Russell replied without hesitation: "There is no digital civilization of mankind, a civilization that only a very small number of elites can survive, and a civilization that only exists with a powerful individual—none of them have any value in existence."
"But aren't you an elite yourself?"
Flower Touch was a little surprised: "As the name raider of Thrall, you yourself are the highest level of 'elite,' in your own right. Even in the 'Civilization Sample, Project, you will definitely be able to transform into a famous elf, gain eternal life, and get on the ship."
"It's because I do get on the boat that I can say it without making you think it's souring or hating the elites who can get on the ship.
"As long as you are human, you will make mistakes; As long as human beings live in the world, they will eventually suffer.
"But the mistakes of those who came before us will eventually condense and become 'history,' The suffering that people have suffered in the process of civilization is so that future generations will one day no longer suffer the same suffering. Blood and tears condense into history, sweat into knowledge—a bone and flesh heal, wounds into scars, that is civilization."
Russell said this, and his footsteps suddenly stopped in place.
He pondered for a moment before exhaling slowly.
… No, I see."
Russell said sincerely, "Thank you, Flower Touch."
"Nothing."
She smiled and replied, "I'm more or less a psychiatrist."
As they said this, there was a sudden shock in the small space they were in.
With a strong feeling of weightlessness, the closed door in front of it rotated and opened on its own, expelling cold air to relieve pressure with a snort. It always seems to remind Russell of a pressure cooker.
This is the place where Russell never arrived
The real Tower of Babel.
