"What's wrong?"

Mach turned his face sideways, his eyes hidden behind his black sunglasses to look at Epenny, who had suddenly stopped.

The control program of the "siren" is highly perfect, in addition to the part of the hunting mission, the rì can also complete the auxiliary work, if necessary, you can also write a report with one hand, iron clothes with the other, and make soup with a soup spoon in your mouth.

This kind of "multi-functional design" makes people want to complain about what the mad scientists at the Dili Institute of Biology are thinking, and what kind of trouble is it to make a terminator maid? Could it be that they actually want a certain muscular governor to appear in a maid suit? Let everyone see how spicy the muscular big man is in a maid costume? Although there may be such misunderstandings, those mad scientists never make mistakes in key matters.

The self-discipline killing machine suddenly dropped its chain and was in a daze, and this kind of low-level mistake of human xìng is simply unimaginable.

"Your Excellency?"

Epenny tilted her neck with a confused expression.

"There seems to have been a very weak reaction just now...... I'm not sure, it's too fast, and the waveform is a type I've never seen before, so it's hard to locate. ”

"Could it be a miscalculation, or a non-pointing xìng wavelength leaked by a magician somewhere else?"

“...... Can't be sure, do you want to investigate further?"

"There's no need. ”

Mach shook his head.

"We don't have the extra jīng energy to investigate things that we don't even know if it's a misjudgment, so we get the job done first. ”

"Understood, Your Excellency. ”

After nodding obediently and being taught, Epenny put on a mask-like smile again, and followed closely behind Mach.

Sense xìng's field...... A magician who can discern the principles of the world and understand each other without misunderstanding?

Chewing gum, Maher gave a mocking sneer in his heart.

After the end of the war, except for the terrorist organizations and spy agencies that need magicians to conceal xìng and excellent individual combat ability, magicians in various countries are not very popular, and compared with the status of the past, the treatment of magicians can almost be described as "bleak" and "downcast". As for the Empire...... Needless to say, it's all blood and tears.

To put it mildly, with the rapid advancement of technology, there is no place for magicians who can't keep up with the times. Over time, sooner or later they will be eliminated completely.

It was supposed to be like this.

No matter how much you struggle or go against the flow of the cháo, what is destined to be eliminated will eventually be drowned in the wave of the times. This is the same as injecting shè hormones into the elderly, which may rejuvenate him for a while, but it will never make him rejuvenate and become a young man.

But if it's a resurrection of a corpse or a backdoor listing, that's another matter.

At some point, the definition of a magician began to be distorted and even replaced with something completely different.

Traditionally, a magician is known as "a person who can use magic to cause paranormal phenomena", but since a few years ago, a new term has been circulating under the table.

The so-called magician is the result of changes in the process of human beings constantly running into the world, and has a superior insight ability compared to ordinary people, can recognize the principles of the world, and can understand each other without misunderstanding. It can also be said to be a new attitude after the evolution of human beings

There is no doubt that this so-called "new discourse" is actually a kind of stealing concept, using people's perception of magicians to market a completely new concept, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a disguised fraud and sales. However, the problems caused by this theory are far more serious than the economic and social harm caused by simple fraud. In a way, this theory, combined with the existence of magicians, can even subvert an entire empire.

From a theoretical point of view, the idea that magicians are the result of evolution is not a bad idea.

Before the invention of a specific drug against plague in the past, the mortality rate of various deadly diseases usually decreased after a few decades. There are various factors in this, such as the mutation of the virus in the process of transmission, the production of human antibodies, the update and improvement of genetic information in the process of generational change, and so on. Overall, it should be said that this is the result of the excellent adaptability of human beings. By analogy, it is not entirely impossible for harsh environments to evolve into better forms with better insights and more effective and unhindered communication.

But in this way, the empire becomes an untenable fallacy.

If we admit that there may be better and more advanced people among the fourth-class citizens, and if we admit that there are other ways of life outside the empire, there is still a possibility that humanity will be different from what it is now. Then the hierarchy of the empire, the ideology, the existing laws, the institutions of violence, and the inhumane facilities and practices of the empire have all become untenable fallacies, and even the worst atrocities and scandals since the existence of intelligent life. After the initial doubts, people will re-examine their lives, and the grievances that have been accumulating will explode in one breath, and people will blame the empire for all their misfortunes, holding high the anti-flag, shouting slogans such as "regain Zì Yóu", "overthrow the tyranny built on mass graves" and so on in an attempt to overthrow the empire, and even if this rebellion can be suppressed, the empire will be greatly damaged and will not be able to pull itself back for a long time. As for the other sequelae of the rebellion, just thinking about it is enough to make the upper echelons of the empire shudder.

Therefore, in any case, it is necessary to eliminate the new discourse on magicians, completely negate the slightest possibility through scientific and administrative means, and bury the magicians in the darkness together with the group of magicians, so as to ensure the prosperity and peace of the empire.

In this sense, Epenny is the embodiment of this idea and demonstrates the vulnerability of magicians through science and technology. It is just a fantasy to let the public understand that the so-called "evolutionary possibility" of human beings is nothing more than a fantasy, that the so-called magicians are nothing more than monsters that cannot be tolerated in normal society, and that "discerning the principles of the world", "barrier-free communication", and "excellent insight" are nothing more than exaggerated propaganda for political purposes, which can be easily eliminated by using the power of science and technology. While displaying these contents, use technology such as the "Siren" to eliminate the mages with greater efficiency and completely eradicate these dangerous foreign objects from this world.

At the same time, it is a device that negates magicians from the god jīng and **, and destroys the myth of "human beings may xìng". This is the full picture of the "Nightingale".

terrorist organizations that pin their hopes on the ethereal possibility of xìng;

an empire that uses science and technology to make devices that fight poison with poison;

Which side is crazier?

Maher was making a disrespectful joke in his mind, and if he hadn't been on a mission, he would have laughed out loud.

################

Marseille finds himself in a particularly strong relationship with certain people lately, first the girl of the mysterious organization, then the senior detective, whether he likes it or not, these two groups of people are constantly appearing around him in turn. There seems to be an invisible hand in the underworld, which binds the fate of all people.

"Marseille, we meet again. ”

The senior detective in front of him was still dressed in casual clothes last time, the only difference was that he had an extra pair of sunglasses, black round lenses covered his eyes, and his smile looked more dangerous.

"Mr. Detective......"

Without having to look in the mirror, Marseille knows how stiff the smile on his face is.

"This, you see...... I'm ......."

"It's okay, it's okay. The first time I participated in the 'Source of Life', it was like this, and after the first baptism, I really changed from a boy to a man. ”

In line with the boy's embarrassment, Marseille tried to make himself look like an uncle next door who had discovered that a child was secretly touching something inappropriate for children, and with a somewhat mischievous mentality, he leaned over and whispered:

"Did you succeed in graduating from virginity?"

The boy's body tensed suddenly, and his flushed face shook repeatedly. Mach, amused by this scene, laughed, patted the boy on the shoulder, and comforted:

"Don't be nervous, you're still young and have opportunities. But if you find an interesting girl, don't miss it. If you're not careful, the lover of your dreams will become someone else's lover. ”

"Oh...... Good. ”

The boy's face was so red that it seemed to drip blood, and after patting him on the shoulder again, and after a few unnutritious jokes, Maher turned to the side.

It would be a surprise for both of them to meet here. But Mach, who had seen all kinds of accidents, was quickly relieved that this was the "source of life", the haunt of the youth league jīngying, and as a future cadre candidate, Pierre Marseille was understandably invited to enjoy the benefits here, and thus develop a sense of responsibility for hard work and loyalty to the empire. You know, although loyalty is said to be an incomparably sacred virtue, the reality is that most loyalty is maintained by money and profit, and only the superior life and social status can really capture the hearts of these young people and make them serve the empire diligently.

As for Marseille's stiff reaction, it is actually very easy to explain. As a model honor student who has always received a decent education and strictly meets the requirements of the norm in every word and deed. It will indeed be embarrassing to meet the ** elephant in "The Source of Life" for the first time. What made him even more embarrassed was that he was discovered by a familiar adult, and the reaction when the embarrassment cancer occurred was not strange at all.

After all, he is just a child who has not yet entered society.

Leaving himself or Marseille teased, the senior detective turned and walked to a secluded corner.

The search was Epenny's task, and with her appearance, it would not be too abrupt to enter the villa and conduct a search, and once it was certain that there was indeed a magician in the crowd, Maher did not think that he was absolutely sure that he would be able to subdue the other party. Instead of adding unnecessary variables, it is better to take a step back, stand in a relatively quiet place and watch coldly, even if something unexpected happens, you can give orders to the mobile troops outside as soon as possible.

Due to the angle, Maher did not notice that the innocent boy in his eyes was still standing in place, and his stiff expression turned to the side a little bit.

Not daring to even blink, his eyes fell on the girl in the army uniform, moving closely with the other party's brisk steps.

The blue eyes were not embarrassed or shy, nor the purity and restlessness of youth, but inexplicable doubts and fears.

What is that?

The question of horror echoed in Marseille's heart.
