Chapter Seventy-Five: Jekyll and Hyde (Part II)

The images printed on the projection screen are like horses' hooves knocking on people's heads, each scene is impressive, and the picture that is difficult to dissipate in the mind for a long time, the crimes committed by the rebels when they invaded the mechanical city, each one is so heinous, like a hammer hitting Jekyll's heart.

They plundered everything they could take with them, and even if the goods they had stolen were piled up on the ground into small hills, it was impossible to bring them back and could not fill the unbalanced greed in their hearts; They forcefully pried open the alloy skulls of civilians, and inflicted electric shocks on semi-mechanized brains in the name of disarming brain-controlled chips, justifying their atrocities at the moment with lofty goals, and thus gaining satisfaction; They torture captured civilians with horrific methods of the human imagination, degrading their dignity as human beings, just to hide their inferiority complex

Before he knew it, his hands were clenched into fists, his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and drops of blood oozed down his fingers and fell silently on the table and on the floor.

Indignation, pain, sadness, and guilt are mixed together, a highly tense mental state and an overly strong sense of disgust are fed back into the physiology and become a violent discomfort, there are bursts of sharp pain in the stomach, breathing becomes difficult and short, as if no matter how much you speed up your breathing, oxygen is not enough, cold sweat involuntarily oozes from your forehead, and several times the nausea and nausea of sour water are pressed back by Jekyll.

How could he not recognize who the people on this were all about? How could he not recognize who these people were!

Those are the rebels who have taken refuge in the Tiehua Regiment! It's all for freedom, for the rebellion against the eternal independence of the brain-controlled chip. Tyranny, comrades who stand up for an armed uprising!

But now they themselves have become a group of lawless thugs, because with power and violence in their hands, they can do whatever it takes on defenseless innocents, even more so than Hyde, trampling on the law and restraint! This is how can he accept this kind of behavior! How could he tolerate such behavior!

After reading this, are you still going to convince me with the rhetoric that expects people to improve on their own? Hyde's cold voice interrupted Jekyll's thoughts, look at what they had done in the city.

They wantonly looted everything they could take with them, and smashed and burned everything they could not take away.

Is this the freedom you want to see in the atrocities of atrocities against those who have no power to resist, and the torture of civilians with the human imagination?

For millions of years, since the appearance of the human species on the earth, their nature has not changed, even if they have learned to walk upright, put on decent clothes, and package themselves as civilized people, they are still dominated by savagery in their bones, and they can easily degenerate into agitated, brutal and violent, and instinctual beasts at the first opportunity

Tell me, what about the law you advocate at this time? What about the morals you admire? Do they really protect these people?

Hyde sat at the table with a blank face, and questioned Jekyll one by one in a straightforward and almost indifferent tone, each of which was like an iron nail deep into the latter's heart, piercing his brain, and the entire conference room was plunged into a breathless atmosphere, and the hot and violent emotions like magma were quietly brewing under the calm surface, and the room maintained the eerie calm before the storm.

As an opponent who has been friends for many years and has killed each other for many years, Hyde knows too well what Jekyll is like, this self-proclaimed Chosen Saint is too noble as a human being, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a saint, he can break into the drone swarm alone in order to save people, he can give his share of food to the hungry civilians, he can help everyone regardless of return and cost, and he even insists on not killing no matter what the price is, he would rather bear the backlash brought by adhering to this naïve concept, They are also unwilling to kill others and take their lives.

Although he wants the world to be a better place, he never demands that others reach the same moral level as him, and acts according to his moral standards, only the minimum that they can abide by the law and keep the bottom line as a person. Fun Cabinet

This nobility is not only desired by many people, but also disliked

Few people feared him, because in the eyes of those people he was a complete altruist who never cared about himself and only others.

And it is also because of this nobility that it will be dealt a near-fatal blow at this moment.

The surveillance footage was also carefully selected by Hyde to combat Jekyll's psyche, and he knew very well that each of them was a heinous and appalling atrocity when taken out alone, a thousand times more barbaric than Ru Mao's blood-drinking and smashing a baby to death on a stone, and the brutality that only humans can produce when they kill each other, which not only challenged Jekyll's moral standards, but also trampled on the bottom line of civilization.

It may be a bit despicable to do so, but Hyde wants to win this fight anyway, his dream has not yet been fully realized, the true dawn has not yet come, humanity has just reached out to the sea of stars beyond the cradle, there is still a package waiting to be implemented, he cannot fall in the darkness before dawn!

First of all, we must defeat this guy on a psychological level, let him give up resistance on his own, and the next plans and steps can be successful, otherwise, he will have to choose another way

Looking at Jekyll, whose eyes were glazed and his expression was changing, Hyde struck while the iron was hot: Wake up, this is the reality, reason alone cannot restrain sensual humans, law and morality are equally vulnerable in the face of force and power, and only by firmly tying up the beasts will they not hurt each other

Jekyll's eyes glazed over, and his lips seemed to twitch a few more times, as if he had said something but no one could hear him.

Hyde raised his eyebrows slightly: What did you say?

There was a dull roar of thunder outside the window, accompanied by the distant sound of artillery in the southern part of the city, and flashes of electricity flashed from time to time in the thick clouds, bringing some light to the city where the lights were almost extinguished, and the wind that gradually became louder whistled and bent the branches of the trees in the city, shook the vegetation in the green belt, and blew the windows to make a rattling sound.

Unconsciously, clouds are converging in the sky above the mechanical city, and there is a slight breath of mountain rain in the whole city, and a heavy thunderstorm seems to be close at hand.

Before you know it, the people in the conference room have been reduced by two-thirds, and the ministers have quietly left the conference room, and now in the conference room, apart from Hyde and Johnson, there are only a few civilians who have not left yet, and Elizabeth and the Scarlet Queen, who are looking around like curious babies.

Wrong this time, Jekyll made a weak voice, but his logic is still clear, power that cannot be supervised and limited will inevitably lead to corruption, just like these people, no one can supervise the weapons and actions in their hands, there is no coercive force to restrain them, and law and morality will naturally become a dead letter, so we need to supervise and limit power, and we can't make power absolute power like you do

The Chosen Sage raised his head, his gaze gradually becoming firm: Don't try to defeat me on a mental level! I won't eat you again!
