Chapter 302: A Necessary Sacrifice
After some communication with the Buddha, he returned to the human settlement in Damai City and continued his retreat in the secret room of the blindfolded woman.
Maybe it's because the persuasion was too smooth.
After this incident, the Buddha continued to run, trying to persuade the three of Huangye and the high-ranking officials of the Cleanup Department to make the two sides shake hands and make peace.
Knowing that as long as they are willing to make peace, they can go out of the living room, and the three of them have no opinion.
But the top brass of the clean-up ministry said they were unwilling to do anything.
No way.
It's really that Huang Ye and the others are too strong and too strong.
And it's not controllable.
Once they are released, maybe in the next second, those high-ranking members of the Cleanup Department will die at the hands of the three of them.
The high-level officials of the clean-up department are afraid of death.
So the matter of peace talks had no choice but to stop.
Although the Buddha failed to convince Huang Ye and the others, he easily won over the three leaders of the survivor settlement, including the blindfolded girl.
Among the three leaders, except for the blindfold woman, who has a living guide and has become a monk in the foundation building period, the rest are just ordinary people.
Ordinary people naturally do not arouse the fear of the top management of the clean-up department.
Therefore, under the temptation of the 'Law White Paper Project' to mass-produce the monks of the Divine Period, the two sides have a basis for cooperation.
In order to facilitate this plan, and in order to become a god, the three leaders of the survivor colony and the top management of the Clean-up Department hit it off and integrated the four forces.
so
Three years have passed in a flash
…
Although after the Buddha's campaign, the four forces of Damai City have been united, which has increased the number of available people in the Pollution Cleanup Department, and the progress of the 'Law Blank Paper Project' has also been accelerated.
But after all, this plan will cost countless lives
As time went on, as more and more people died writing the 'law blank paper', it became more and more difficult for the top of the pollution cleanup department to recruit dead soldiers.
Even though they promised a good reward, the outrageously high mortality rate still discouraged the civilians in the settlement.
In desperation, the top brass of the clean-up department could only change their thinking and began to use violence to force civilians to write a 'blank sheet of law'.
They put sticks and guns at the heads of civilians, and those who refused to cooperate were not only killed, but also harmed their families.
This had some effect, though, to allow the writing of the 'law blank paper' to continue.
But such a radical measure naturally quickly led to the leak of the 'Law Blank Paper Plan'.
So in less than a month, the civilians in the various settlements of Damai City knew the secret of the 'Law Blank Paper Project'.
Civilians began to resist and flee.
In desperation, the high-level of the clean-up department simply pushed the boat down the river and directly announced the full content of the 'Law Blank Paper Plan' to all civilians.
The top brass of the Cleanup Department will promote the people who died for this plan as heroes who are not afraid of death.
And it is called "heroes are dying for the future of all mankind".
This did have a certain effect: some people were brainwashed by the top of the clean-up department, and they were driven by a sense of collective honor to die willingly.
However, this did not last.
After all, there are only a few people with a sense of collective honor, and when such people are almost dead, the top of the clean-up department will no longer be able to recruit even one of them to die.
In order to solve the dilemma, the senior management of the clean-up department held a meeting to discuss.
"Everyone,"
In the council hall of the base of the Cleanup Department, the big man Boyle looked around and said to everyone: "I think you all know: it has become more and more difficult for us to recruit civilians who are willing to die on their own initiative recently. ”
"Although we can use force to force civilians to die, doing so will inevitably provoke civilians to resist."
"So, do you have any good way to get the civilians to take the initiative to die for the sake of the settlement, for the sake of all mankind?"
"I have an immature idea," as soon as the big guy Boyle's voice fell, he saw the man in the suit and got up and said: "In my opinion, the more depressed the spiritual life of the low-level civilians is, and the more they lack entertainment, the easier it is to pin their personal emotions on the collective or the general righteousness. ”
"Following this line of thinking, we might as well cut off more than ninety percent of the entertainment activities in the settlements, such as game consoles, computers and other equipment looted from the dense fog area, and we will not distribute them to the civilians."
"Even if they are distributed, they will find a way to restrict them from playing games and can only use the computer to work."
"Another example is the workers engaged in literature and art, such as writing books, talking about cross talk, and relieving the boredom of the big guys, and we can also set rules and restrictions."
"There is even the 'sex' aspect, and we can also set up all kinds of rules to suppress it."
The man in the mask suit thought for a while and added: "Suppressing 'sex' will not only make the spiritual life of the civilians in the settlement deprived, but also stimulate the fertility rate, so that more newborns will be born in our settlement and put into the 'Law White Paper Project'!" ”
in the council chamber.
The big guy Boyle considered the suggestion made by the man in the suit and asked for the opinions of others.
Seeing that there was no opposition among the people present, he nodded and said, "Okay, we will do what Gustav said in the future, and if a new problem arises, then we will meet again to discuss and solve it." ”
"Yes!"
The crowd responded in unison.
…
Since the implementation of the proposal put forward by the man in the mask suit, among the survivors in the settlement, more people have appeared with a collective heart and a sense of righteousness.
However, the 'Law Blank Paper Project' requires too many lives.
No matter how effective the policies and measures at the top of the clean-up ministry are, they will not be able to change the fact that people continue to die.
As time went on, the number of survivors in the Barley City settlement who were unwilling and unwilling to submit to the rule of the Cleanup Department began to gradually become more and more numerous.
And so it took nearly half a year.
Eventually, as the emotions of the survivors in the settlement continued to build, countless rebels gathered together and revolted in the settlement in the southern part of Barley City.
…
"Kill! Overthrow the tyranny of the Clean-up Ministry! ”
Outside a warehouse in a human settlement in the southern urban area.
Nearly a thousand survivors of the settlement swarmed and soon surrounded several guards outside the warehouse.
Although the guards were armed with guns, they did not have the courage to shoot in the face of a hundred times the number of rebels on their own.
The guards, who had been coerced, soon joined the ranks of the rebels.
They helped open the door to the settlement's warehouse, allowing the rebel team to obtain a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
The next day, the southern urban settlement officially declared its independence and subdued the leaders of the original settlement, intending to behead him for public display.
The time of the beheading was set at three o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, it was about a quarter of an hour or so before the leader was beheaded
…
In the southern part of the city, the head of the station is above the settlement.
A monk wearing a black blood-red tentacle mark, and a monk wearing a white yin-yang Taiji fish robe, both slowly descended from high in the sky.
It was after these two people got the news that they rushed to the Buddha and Chengsheng here as soon as possible.
Seeing that the two of them were able to resist the wind, all the rebels in the settlement, as well as some of the melon-eating passers-by who remained neutral, were all in an uproar.
"Who??" The soldiers in the rebel team even aimed their guns at Chengsheng and Buddha.
"Huh,"
Air.
The Buddha glanced at the rebels and said with a smile: "Stop it, everyone, as long as you are willing to stop, I can not pursue this matter." ”
"You guys. . . Is it from the Cleanup Department? In the face of the two people who could fly in the air, Cheng Xing and the Buddha, the leader of the rebel army did not dare to be careless.
"Sort of," the Buddha nodded, "We are here to suppress the rebellion on behalf of the Clean-up Department this time." ”
The leader of the rebels was stunned when he heard this: "It's just the two of you? ”
The Buddha smiled: "Don't say it's just the two of us, just any of us, you can't deal with it together." ”
After that, it is convenient to wave your right hand in the air.
With the Buddha's movements, all the rebel soldiers present felt that the guns in their hands were suspended in the air for no reason.
The Buddha waved his hand again, and the guns turned around and turned their guns on the rebels.
In the process, a soldier was stimulated, so his brain was hot, so he pulled out the spare pistol on his waist and shot at the Buddha.
'Phew'!
After the gunshots rang out, a scene that surprised everyone present appeared - the bullet fired by the soldier flew in front of the Buddha and then hovered inexplicably.
Air.
The Buddha spread his hand so that the palm of his right hand was facing upward, and the bullet flew into the palm of the Buddha along with the Buddha's movements.
The Buddha looked at the soldier who had fired, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
In the next second, he seemed to be extremely casual, throwing the bullet in his hand only to hear a sound of blood and flesh splashing, and the soldier's forehead had been pierced by the bullet, and the whole person died violently on the spot.
Such an unbelievable scene, all the rebels present showed shocked expressions.
And soon, that shock turned to despair.
With just a wave of his hand, he controlled the weapons of everyone present, even the flying bullets.
How can this battle be fought?
on the ground.
Looking at the two people who were suspended in mid-air, the leader of the rebel army was stunned: "You. You two were able to fly into the sky because of the 'Law Blank Paper Project'? And the ability to control all of our weapons with telekinesis is also because of the 'Law Blank Paper Project'? ”
"It's not." The Buddha replied truthfully: "However, once the 'Law Blank Paper Project' succeeds, then even ordinary people like you will be able to have the same strength as us, or even surpass our current strength. ”
Since the leak of the 'Law Blank Paper Project', the top management of the Clean-up Department has already announced the specific content of the plan to the survivors in the settlement.
But the plan describes a bright future in which 'all human beings can become god-like beings with giant machines'.
That sounds like a lot of weirdness.
Therefore, almost all the survivors, including the leader of the resistance, did not believe it.
But now it's a different story.
Chengsheng and the Buddha, after all, are people who have mastered extraordinary powers and have great magical powers.
With the endorsement of these two people, all the rebels present immediately believed in the 'Law White Paper Plan'.
Air.
Seeing that the mood of the rebels was slightly shaken, Cheng Huo threatened: "You are now tied up, I can promise that I will not pursue this matter afterwards, and if the 'Law White Paper Plan' succeeds in the future, the benefits will still be yours." ”
"But if you continue to resist, then you will be killed, and no one will be left."
"Think it over for yourselves. If you don't want to make any more trouble, untie all the weapons you have left, and I will assume that these people have surrendered. ”
In the face of the two people who were beyond their cognition, the two people who resisted had lost their fighting spirit.
Coupled with the temptation to become a god-like existence after the success of the 'Law Blank Paper Project', and the guarantee of surviving 'no investigation after the fact', even if there were countless resistors on the field, they all unloaded their weapons with them.
Cheng Huo continued: "In addition, since the 'Law White Paper Project' still needs more people to die, in order to ensure fairness, in the future, the settlement will simply adopt the lottery method, including the high-level of the Cleanup Department, as well as the two of us, everyone may be shaken by the lottery and forced to die." ”
"In order to prevent fraud, every time the lottery goes to death in the future, there will be special staff on the scene to supervise."
"Then there will be a verifier to verify the authenticity."
"In this way, everyone in our colony is equal. If I arrange it this way, you should be okay, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.
I don't know if these people are afraid or really believe what Cheng Sheng said.
While the Living Buddha was talking with the rebels, the reinforcements from the Cleanup Department had also hurried to the scene.
Cheng Huo glanced at the soldiers of the Clean-up Department who rushed here.
He commanded the captain at the head: "The uprising here has been suppressed, you can ask the others present for the specific process. Then I'll leave it to you how to deal with and arrange the follow-up. ”
As he spoke, the whole person turned into a streamer of light and rose into the sky, and disappeared from the sight of the survivors in an instant.
When leaving, the Buddha sent a message to Chengsheng: "Fellow Daoist, do you really plan to use the method of lottery, and everyone has an equal chance of dying, including us?" ”
"How is that possible?"
Cheng Huo said with a smile: "We only need to move some hands and feet on the lottery machine, and we don't even need to use the 'emotional power' to ensure that the lottery machine does not shake us people." ”
"Then, in order to convince the civilians in the settlement, we can dispose of some of the high-level people in the clean-up department who have problems standing in line and are not social, on the grounds that 'they happened to be shaken by the lottery'."
"It can even kill two birds with one stone."
"That's good," the Buddha replied with a smile, "I thought you were crazy, and you really planned to play the 'absolute fairness' game!" ”
"How is it possible, it's just to deceive the survivors," Cheng responded with his divine sense.
After a brief exchange, the Buddha and the two returned to their hiding places and continued their retreats.
