Chapter 63: Falling to the bottom
Ning Yuan had been thinking about the matter of Du Karda just now, and he hadn't noticed the situation around him.
And now standing on the high platform, he can see the whole picture of the venue.
It's an incredibly wide studio, so wide that people think it's in the wild.
The high ceiling was hung with an array of spotlights, simulating the parallel light source of the sun, and he couldn't help but think of the spotlights in the lower area of Bravel.
There is also a man-made rockery behind the high platform, which gives people a sense of the outdoors.
There are also some artificial micro-mists on the countertop, and the fine pollen particles carry bursts of fragrance, simulating the natural field scene in all directions.
It's really like a paradise.
It took so much effort to make the light source perfectly arranged, illuminate the entire high platform, and let people see the people on the stage clearly, without being unconventional.
The readiness of large companies can be seen.
And these are all built by the workers in the morning.
This made him sigh at the industrial strength of this world.
If he hadn't seen the construction process with his own eyes, Ning Yuan would have thought that there was a peach blossom township hidden in the high-rise building.
There were a lot of people sitting in the audience at the bottom of the stage.
In front of it are the top 100 of the year that have been selected, and about them are business people from all walks of life, who should be the sponsors of these UPs.
As can be seen from the signs hanging in front of them, there are weapons manufacturers, household goods companies, food companies, drinking goods companies, construction companies...... All kinds of companies.
It seems that they are the ones who provide financial support for the top 100.
Here, Ning Yuan even saw the game production company of "Exotic Exploration: Divine Remains", and the one sitting at the head was Rowling!
What's going on?
Isn't she dead......
No, that's what Dukarda said, he didn't see her death with his own eyes, and it seems that there are many things hidden in it.
Rowling ...... It stands to reason that she should be the first to find herself.
What's going on?
Ning Yuan shook his head, suppressed his thoughts, and continued to observe the environment.
Behind these sponsors are brokerage companies, media company executives, network operation company executives, server vendors, ...... There were also some high-level executives of Internet giants in attendance.
After that, there was a huge group of reporters, and all kinds of self-media reporters were waiting in the back, holding some professional cameras and aiming at the high platform.
After that, the auditorium rises upwards like a wave, and at this distance, the view is already submerged in front of it, so the auditorium must be raised.
In the elevated audience, a large number of tickets were placed, disguised as fans.
In the process of live broadcasting, it is necessary to drive the emotions of the audience by inserting the facial expressions of these people, so that the ups and downs of the awards will be more suspenseful.
But when it comes to the hundredth hundredth, the suspense should be gone.
Looking at these people in the audience, Ning Yuan understood that this was a matter that the whole world was paying attention to.
Now, I am talking to the entire Abyssal World.
Countless cameras are aimed at themselves, and behind these cameras is the extremely developed media industry of the Abyss, with hundreds of billions of viewers.
With such a huge population base in the ruins, his words will have endless effects and generate countless attention.
Dukarda...... It's really built a ladder to the sky for himself, the fairy rope.
Ning Yuan took a deep breath.
I am now about to fall from the clouds and into the abyss.
Because here, if you say a wrong word, you will definitely face the condemnation of the whole world.
The pressure is overwhelming.
But...... Is it really worth it to do it yourself?
What does the life and death of the people of Yuanxu have to do with themselves?
I'm just an unexpected visitor.
The thoughts in his head were in turmoil for a moment.
yes, it's only been a few days since you've been in this world?
It's only been four days!
I can say that I don't have half of my attachment to this world, on the contrary, I have always been very disgusted.
Just crossed over and carried a life and death crisis.,The first day almost didn't survive.,The next day I met the ancient gods in a game......
Is there really a saving value in such a riotous world?
Cyberpunk world.
It seems to be full of vitality, but in fact it has been messed up by those monopoly companies.
They can't solve the problem of deep-seated exploitation, as exemplified by the abyss-like riots and barbaric Bravel Lower Districts.
Unable to change the status quo, he had to segregate his classes.
This civilization has entered the countdown.
Even if there is no ancient god infected, this world will play itself to death, the collapse of the barrier is just around the corner, and the whole society will return to the wilderness.
Why should I save such a world?
In the following time, brocade hat mink fur, delicacies from the mountains and seas, isn't it good to live in a dream?
Thinking of this, Ning Yuan suddenly smiled.
Dukarda, you are truly haunted, disturbing your thoughts all the time.
These are their own thoughts.
But people, when faced with a choice, they will always consider the pros and cons in all aspects, so whether it is good thoughts or evil thoughts, there will be all kinds of aspects.
And he has already made up his mind about this matter.
I don't care about any civilization or social problem, I just don't like Karda and wants to let his plan fail.
is to find a way to save his friend, and for this, he will not hesitate to pay any price.
Things that have been determined a long time ago, no need to think again.
And now, these thoughts come out, don't they just prove one thing!
In the matter of the purpose of Dukalda, I was right!
Of course, there are other options for everything, and another thought popped up in Ning Yuan's mind.
Work with the big guys.
The game world they carry, the Heavenly Spirit Essence behind the world, they must be very interested.
These companies have so many resources at their disposal that they may be able to solve their own problems.
But...... Ning Yuan knew that these companies would not talk about humanitarianism.
They will definitely imprison themselves as soon as possible and carry out all kinds of inhumane experiments, with no possibility of escape.
Cooperating with the company is definitely a bad move.
But if things really reach an irreparable step, Ning Yuan will do the same.
Now, let's talk about the reputation first.
By the way, I've already made a fuss like this anyway, and my cheap brother must have noticed it.
Isn't my brother an official at the Department of Homeland Security!
Maybe you can help yourself solve the problem!
Thinking about it, Ning Yuan took a deep breath.
Go ahead.
He looked at the cameras and said loudly, "Yes, you've all been lied to!" Fooled by those giant corporations! This civilization is entering the countdown! ”
What's the way to put your reputation to rock bottom?
Self-defilement?
No.
As the saying goes, black and red are also red.
In an era of moral decay like Yuanxu, people's stains will also be transformed into traffic and a tool for making money.
And his purpose is to make his reputation fall to the bottom completely.
Let people stop paying attention to themselves.
Then the best way is to puncture the illusion of happiness created by the company for the people!
Just look at those airtight speech controls, and you can see that capital will do its best to block itself and make it impossible for him to live forever.
And that's exactly what I want.
Hit rock bottom.
"Ning Yuan, do you really want to do it?" A soft female voice came from her ear, and she asked worriedly, "Isn't that what you want most?" Thousands of people have become a popular UP master in the world? ”
"Dukarda, you're mistaken about me." Ning Yuan smiled and said with a shadow: "You are just a Holy Spirit, you really don't understand the thousands of desires in the world. ”
"Haha, then you...... Just do it, and let me take a good look at you demons. ”
……
Facing the camera that led to the world, Ning Yuan opened his mouth and continued: "Don't you still understand? ”
"Look at you, look at this stocktaking conference, I really think it's ridiculous."
"You guys open up the world, develop abilities, develop your own technology, etc., very good, very powerful." Ning Yuan pointed to the hundred UP Lords below and said, "But none of you have pointed out the real problem of the Abyssal Ruins. ”
"I know that you are famous in your respective fields, and you have reached the pinnacle. Do not understand these problems. ”
"But isn't it too much for no one to speak up? Okay, then I'll be the first person. ”
Ning Yuan smiled, he thought of Luo Dada who crashed into the temple in the Godforsaken Lands.
At the time, he didn't understand it, but now, he's going to hit his head against the wall.
Fate...... It's capricious.
He paused and said, "As far as I know, most of the people who work for the company generally live less than sixty years old, and most of them hang up at the age of forty or fifty, why?" ”
"Isn't it because of the endless toil! I live in the lower Bravel district, right at your feet, where the workers are all twenty hours a day, seven days a week, with hardly a moment of rest. ”
"In order to allow them to continue to work, these companies have replaced their hearts, livers, spleens, stomachs, kidneys, and lungs, and they have been burdened with debts that they can't afford to pay off for a lifetime, no, debts that they can't afford for generations!"
"Even so, it still can't save them from dying of exhaustion!"
Ning Yuan said loudly: "What are they doing with such a huge amount of labor? It's to be able to eat a full meal! To be able to live tomorrow! ”
"However, under the vicious competition of the last elimination system, many poor people are thrown out of the factory every day and become homeless!"
"These homeless people only have the skills that they have practiced day after day in the factory, they will only press the button on the machine, they don't have any capital to live in this world, and the end waiting for them is only starvation!"
"Heh, in such a developed society, the way to die with the highest average annual mortality rate is to starve to death by my mother! It's ridiculous. ”
There's one thing he doesn't say, and it's that firing a gun is as easy as pressing a button, so street gangs run rampant.
At this moment, Ning Yuan also moved the real fire, he recounted what he saw and heard in the lower district of Bravel, and vented his anger against this world.
Yes, he has always been angry with the world.
As a young man who grew up in peace, enjoying compulsory education and a cheap cost of living, it was difficult for him to understand the world.
There is no free education system, no law and order system in the neighborhood, there are only expensive "services".
Little Nina is eleven years old, and she hasn't gone to a serious school for a day, relying only on Hank's home education and the miscellaneous learning chips picked up in the garbage heap, so that she can have some knowledge.
She also has no playmates of the same age, and can only play games every day.
The streets are full of gangs, unscrupulously disturbing the law and order of the people, no one manages them, and no one even thinks it is wrong.
He continued: "And yet? What are they doing at such a cost? ”
"They're producing goods they can't afford to consume in their lifetime!"
"Heh, really, the people who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders, these goods are produced, even the simplest living items, they are difficult to consume."
"I'm living well in the stands, you may not be able to experience this feeling."
Ning Yuan smiled, and then continued: "If the laborer spends money to buy a better piece of daily necessities, then he may not have money to eat the next day, and he may not be able to do heavy work when he is hungry. ”
"In this case, they will be thrown out of the factory, making a living by digging through garbage cans, and after a few months of living, they may disappear into the bottomless abyss of the lower districts."
"You may not know that under the vicious last-place elimination system, they have to fight against other workers, and fight against automated machines! Desperate for all his life, just to get the next day's rations. In the end, however, they get nothing. ”
"They don't have any ability to resist risks, and at the slightest disturbance, their families will come back and end up on the streets, and the better ones will be able to enter the gangs, and more will fall into the abyss and disappear."
He remembered the homeless men he had seen in the alley four nights before.
The homeless had not eaten for three days.
The only thing they had was the prosthetics they had when they were working in the factory, hoping to rely on them to get some money, and finally died at the muzzle of the Demon Cave Military Industry.
Eh~
The audience below looked at Ning Yuan in a daze.
No one expected him to say such a thing.
Yes, most of the testimonials that have become the top 100 of the year contain words praising their hometown, but I really didn't expect Ning Yuan to talk about his hometown like this.
The current situation of those workers as described by Ning Yuan.
Those who work in the company have resonance, the world is like this, cruel, involuted, and desperate.
People also don't have time to stop and think.
However, some elites have shown puzzled expressions.
These elites, born in wealthy families and circulating in various social fields in the upper circles, never glanced down.
Faced with Ning Yuan's narrative, they instinctively didn't believe it.
Because they have been closely protected from birth to the present, and in the education they have received, there is no such link at all.
After the initial shock, the audience below turned their heads and ears.
To, who was far away in the audience at the back, didn't know what kind of expression to make, and his face was at a loss.
Ning Yuan didn't care about the reactions of the people below him, he continued to vent his anger: "Come, let me go on to talk about the goods produced by these workers, where are they all?" They are all in the bottomless abyss of the lower district of Bravel! ”
"I've seen more than once that trucks on the street are dumping loads of goods into the abyss, why?"
"Because I can't afford it!"
"In order to maximize profits, companies squeeze the wages of the people at the bottom and raise the prices of goods, and the consequence of this is that no one can afford to buy goods."
"These goods have passed their deadlines and can only be discarded." Ning Yuan sneered and continued: "Haha, the company is not even willing to pay for the disposal of expired goods, so it is piled up in the abyss. ”
"See, thousands of goods are wasted, and companies don't give these things to the poor, because the poor have enough to eat, and how can they control the poor to work for them?"
"In order to make up for these losses, they can only squeeze people's wages even harder......
Before he finished speaking, several high-level abilities rushed to the front of the stage and controlled Ning Yuan tightly, and the live broadcast signal was immediately cut off, turning into pitch black.
After Ning Yuan spoke, the people present were like superiors sending instructions.
However, after a few minutes, the instructions were passed down layer by layer, reaching the upper echelons of the company, and then the upper echelons of the company ordered to seize Ning Yuan.
In such a short period of time, Ning Yuan had already finished everything he wanted to say.
The desired effect was also achieved in comparison.
In the process of being controlled, he continued to shout: "When the abyss under our feet is filled, when you companies starve the workers to death, the end of the entire abyss ......"
The staff present were busy, constantly debugging the signal, and changing the host's final lines.
This year's Yuanxu Annual Inventory Conference is destined to be messed up by Ning Yuan.
……
After Ning Yuan was controlled, his head was put on a sack.
The field of vision went dark.
When he woke up again, he found himself thrown into a prison.
A staff member of Hongguang Electronics rushed over and put a layer of computing power lock on Ning Yuan's main control prosthesis, and shut down Ning Yuan's energy system by the way.
This way, Ning Yuan has no way to use any abilities to escape.
Scold.
Anyway, I didn't plan to escape.
So be it.
After recovering his senses, he observed his surroundings.
This is supposed to be a detention center for detention, and the cold iron bars block off the small space two meters square.
At his knees, a stone platform of more than a meter sticks out of the wall, which serves as a prison bed.
Ning Yuan propped himself up, sat on the cold stone bed, leaned against the wall, and couldn't help but smile.
Not long since.
I am a person who is shy to talk to others.
Long-term loneliness has almost made me lose the ability to communicate with others, and if it weren't for playing games, starting live broadcasts, and doing UP, I might have autism.
And now, in front of hundreds of billions of eyes, so many people from all walks of life.
I was able to roar out what I thought without reservation.
It's really a lot of progress.
Is it the influence of the original owner of the body?
Or do you have such a desire to talk in your heart?
Ning Yuan shook his head, he didn't know, he only knew that right now, there was no way to complete Du Karda's ambitions.
"I really can't imagine it, Ning Yuan, you can actually do this step." Stewart's voice rang in his ears: "You demon is really beyond my expectations. ”
Hearing this voice, Ning Yuan smiled: "Du Calda, you have failed. I'll find a way to free Stewart and rescue Monina and the north wind to cool them, you wait. ”
"Oh, I'll see, huh...... That's a good idiom. Dukalda said with a smile.
"Uh, no."
"The culture of your demons is really amazing, I didn't expect you to be so accomplished by desires." Dukalda said: "Desire, fortunately there is no such thing in my world. ”
"Then your world is really dead silent." Ning Yuan said with a sneer.
"Haha, that's a necessity for the world to last."
"Without desire, there is no motivation for development, and if there is no development, you will die."
"I agree with the second half of your sentence, if you don't develop, you will die." Dukalda smiled, then said, "But you really think that's the end of it?" ”
"What do you mean?" Ning Yuan asked, "Next, those companies will ban me, so that I will never be able to live for more." No one will ever log into the game company's mind network again, and you won't be able to invade the world. ”
Dukarda laughed: "Haha, then let's wait and see." ”
"Don't you have any other words? Use an idiom twice? ”
"Well, then...... Wait and see? ”
"Hiss~ This word seems to be okay......"
……
After a while, two uniformed policemen entered the cell, set up Ning Yuan, and made their way to the interrogation room.
In the interrogation room, there is a special table with two handcuffs welded to the ends of the table.
Ning Yuan was roughly pressed to the chair, and his hands were firmly handcuffed.
After a while, a sturdy beauty with a scar on her face walked in, she was wearing a uniform and sitting opposite Ning Yuan.
She said to Ning Yuan: "Hello, let me introduce myself, I am the Sheriff of the Upper Bravel District, Luoning Street, Neve Sherman. ”
"Hello, Sheriff Sherman." Ning Yuan said with a smile: "Then I don't need to introduce myself, I've been popular all over the Internet in the past two days." ”
"Of course not." Sherman had a cold face and said seriously: "Then I'll get straight to the point, what is the relationship between you and the Brunwayne United Front?" ”
"What? What United Front? ”
"Hehe, you don't know?" Sherman sneered and said, "That's the rioters who have always wanted to disturb the ruins, and your speech on the stage ......"
Suddenly, a black-haired male police officer barged in in a panic and said, "The lawyer from the Shanxing border has come over and asked for ......"
"!" Sherman scolded irritably: "These grandsons, they came so fast." ”
Then, she turned to Ning Yuan and said, "Let you go now, remember, I'm staring at you, and you and the people behind you will be arrested." ”
After saying that, she walked out in a hurry.
After a while, Xiao Lei walked in with a polite middle-aged man.
"Ning Yuan, the trouble you broke into this time is really big." Xiao Lei had unspeakable anger on her face: "The company really regrets signing such a master as you." ”
"......" Ning Yuan smiled: "It seems that you are looking for me to settle the account." ”
"Of course, you have seriously violated the terms of the contract and will face a lawsuit from the company, but before that, we have to get you out." Xiao Lei pointed to the middle-aged man beside her and said, "This is Lawyer Park." ”
"Hello, Ning Yuan." Lawyer Park sat down in a chair and said to Ning Yuan: "Now the police suspect that you are related to the rioters, and in order to prevent the fire from burning to the company, we have decided to clear your name." ”
"You ......" Ning Yuan's eyes widened.
Wait a minute!
Whitewash me?
!
I finally shattered Dukalda's plan, why did I turn around and give me a backstab?
"Luckily." Lawyer Park said: "During Dr. Lin's examination of you last night, it was found that you have a serious mental illness, and the main controller has signs of being invaded, which can be used as evidence in court. ”
"Yes, you said that you were hacked into the main control by the hackers of the Bluwayne Front, so you ......"
"Get out!" Ning Yuan scolded angrily and said, "I refuse!" Get out of here! ”
"Ning Yuan, I'll grass your uncle! It's been eight lifetimes of bad luck to be your agent! Xiao Lei slapped the table angrily and couldn't help shouting: "Because of you, my KPIs for this month are scrapped!" You...... Do you know what you're talking about? ”
"Yes, Ning Yuan, if you don't agree...... Lawyer Park said solemnly, "I will be sentenced to three years in prison for disturbing the peace, and I will also be burdened with a huge amount of defaulted debts." ”
"Well, I see, you guys go out." Ning originally wanted to wave his hand, but his hand was handcuffed, so he had to give up.
"It's not as simple as you think." Lawyer Park said: "These police have been staring at those rioters for many years, and in order to obtain information, they have used a lot of methods, such as asking you to commit a small thing in prison, expanding the sentence, and if you don't say anything, they will imprison you for a day until you die." ”
"Well, Ning Yuan, these prisons are all private." Xiao Lei said: "You have to do heavy labor in it......"
Private prisons.
Ning Yuan knew this, and the prison was privatized.
In order to do business, prisoners were forced to perform heavy physical labor, and because prisoners had no human rights, they were unscrupulous.
Isn't DTL, once the city of automobiles, a second spring rejuvenated by private prisons after it was abandoned?
"Heh, is there a difference from the outside?"
Ning Yuan's words made the two of them silent for a while.
Then Xiao Lei said in a serious tone: "Think about your fans, your fame, everything you have earned so hard, just give up?" ”
"Ah, for the sake of the fans, I can't do that."
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing, you guys go quickly, don't bother me, don't try hard, okay?" Ning Yuan said impatiently.
To jail?
He's not afraid.
I've made it like this, and that cheap guy will definitely fish himself out.
Looking at Ning Yuan's resolute expression, Xiao Lei sighed: "Okay, this is your choice, don't regret it." ”
"Regrets? Inexistent. ”
Ning Yuan smiled and sent the two away.
Immediately afterward, Sheriff Sherman walked in and kept asking about the United Front in Bruwayne.
Where did he know what the United Front was?
So I had to stare at Sherman.
"In three days, you will be tried in court, and if you can reveal something during this time, you will get a reduced sentence." Sherman said with a cold face: "This is your last chance, don't worry, I can keep you out of prison for the rest of your life." ”
Scold.
I didn't even ask for the exoneration given by the mountain star boundary.
Commutation?
Joke.
Seeing that Ning Yuan didn't speak, Sherman gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out of the room.
Before leaving, she turned up the temperature of the air conditioner to the maximum.
After a while, the entire interrogation room was as hot as a steamer, and beads of sweat dripped from Ning Yuan's body.
Wipe!
This is so ruthless.
It's going to steam yourself alive!
served.
In this way, Ning Yuan was steamed in a sauna for several hours, and the iron cuffs on his wrists were also terrible.
Sweat pooled into a puddle under him.
He felt like he had been walking in the desert for days and nights, his mouth was dry and his skin was chapped.
A glass of water is urgently needed.
Water......
If you want water, you have to say something.
But how did he know what to say!
Never mind.
So be it.
Ning Yuan became groggy.
Brother, if you don't come again, I'll really become a steamed dumpling!
At about 6 p.m., there was a change in the interrogation room.
A group of people broke into the interrogation room, took the weakened Ning Yuan directly from the police station, and put him in a floating car.
Immediately after that, the floating car drove for more than an hour and came to a villa built on top of a high-rise building.
The villa is luxurious, with beautiful flowers that fill the garden, and a high rockery with a waterfall cascading down from the roof and plunging into the pool, where several beautiful swimsuit beauties are frolicking.
Looking at these scenes, Ning Yuan thought to himself that his brother would be quite able to enjoy it.
Immediately afterward, he was led into the living room of the villa by a group of people.
Ning Yuan looked around, the living room was very large, and it could fit at least four of his own garages.
In the background wall, there is a tank of live goldfish, and the seaweed is swaying in the water, which looks very beautiful under the illumination of the lights.
The overall decoration is simple, but the material is very elegant, low-key and connotative.
I'll go, my brother fished himself out, who are you looking for?
After a while, a blonde maid with a lovely figure stepped forward and said, "Mr. Ning Yuan, the master will arrive later, what do you want to drink?" ”
"Water, just give me water."
"Okay." After the maid handed Ning Yuan a glass of water, she left with light steps.
After a while, a muscular man wearing a vest walked in, with sweat stains on the vest, and looked like he had just finished his work.
He naturally sat down opposite Ning Yuan and said, "Hello, I'm the president of Lord Consulting, Don Lord Lord. ”
"Hello, I'm Ning Yuan."
"Haha, you're crazy today. I saw the live stream of the annual meeting stocktaking and decided to invite you to join us. Don Lord said with a smile.
Ning Yuan frowned.
Listening to his words, it seems that he came out by himself, not Ning Lin did it.
So what is his purpose?
Join us......
Could he be that...... Brunwayne United Front?
He looked at Don Lorde: "You guys? ”
"Yes, we're a lobby under Congressman Casper, you know, Ms. Carol Casper, who is running for president."
"Uh...... What do you want to do? Ning Yuan asked suspiciously.
"Your remarks at the annual inventory of Yuanxu TUBE are very interesting, and with the analysis of our big data analysts, your remarks have accurately resonated with the entire lower class and the labor group."
Don Lord waved his hand, and the holographic projector hidden in the ceiling activated.
Light and shadow flickered in mid-air, followed by a long list of data analysis tables.
He continued to say to Ning Yuan: "Now their attention to you is unprecedentedly high, and it has overshadowed the popularity you created by playing games before. ”
"I ...... ! Ning Yuan's eyes widened, looking at the form in mid-air.
He didn't expect it to turn out like this!
"Haha, you have to pay attention to the language in the future." Don Lord said, "Now that Ms. Caspar's vote is at a disadvantage, your presence gives us hope. If you can join the Conservative Party and become an assistant to Ms Casper, it will effectively lead to the election......"
"I ...... your horse! Ning Yuan couldn't help but scold: "I won't participate!" Roll the calves! ”
Depend on!
He didn't expect that what he had worked so hard to do would have the opposite effect in the end.
In this way, Won't Dukalda's plan be successful!
The abyss is just around the corner.
"Tut-tut." Tang Lord listened to Ning Yuan's angry scolding, but he didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "This is not up to you. ”
"You ......"
"We don't want you, it's just your identity."
Don Lord finished laughing, clapped his hands, and walked into the room alone, it was the blonde maid who had brought water to Ning Yuan just now.
She smiled at Ning Yuan.
Then he turned around, and he turned into Ning Yuan's appearance, and said with a smile in Ning Yuan's voice: "Mr. Ning Yuan, this is my ability. ”
Looking at her transformation, Ning Yuan's eyes couldn't help but widen.
I look good in a maid outfit......
Wrong!
He turned his head to look at Don Lord angrily, his breath converging in his chest, and then exploded in his throat:
"Me,!"
