I'm the one running the game

Neo's departure did not cause much fluctuation in the shadow of the empire.

The loss of one robot didn't mean anything at all. The factory simply recorded the loss, and the days went on like this.

But the changes within the Shadow of the Empire are indeed getting bigger day by day, and 100 million people were soon brought in.

Then, with the previous Extraordinary Reserve Plan as the center, a series of cleansing of cognition, memory, traces, etc. were carried out. From then on, these 100 million people became black households.

Of course, these people don't know their situation.

After all, in the eyes of the empire, they were great heroes and had to remain anonymous.

Well, in fact, from all aspects, the empire did not lie, it just did not clearly state the price.

"How were you doing today?" Lu Xingshi looked at one of his roommates after get off work and asked casually.

Most people couldn't tell that the other party was assigned to build a certain building, but Lu Xingshi knew that it was an altar for sacrifice.

Its scale is very large, and the resources invested are countless.

The altar can accommodate 150 million people. This shows how big the altar is. It must be at least as big as a province.

Therefore, the manpower and material resources used are naturally astronomical.

Compared to Lu Xingshi, who works as a robot quality inspector, building altars is hard work, but the rewards are much greater than Lu Xingshi's.

Those who have lost are magisters who are extraordinary beings. Otherwise, it would not be easy for an ordinary person, even with the assistance of technology.

"Don't mention it, the progress is extremely slow." The roommate complained: "Especially the old men who are instructing are just picking on the bones."

"For such a big project, they actually checked centimeter by centimeter. This is the first time I have met such people."

When Lu Xingshi spoke like this, the roommate was full of complaints.

As an extraordinary person, this is the first time that I have lived so frustrated.

However, since the empire gave too much, it was difficult for him to show off.

"How long will it take to complete the project?" Lu Xingshi asked after the other party had finished complaining.

"It should take half a year anyway." The other party thought about it, gave it some time, and then said, "It's a bit short. It would be nice if I could work longer."

Although he felt it was not possible, the other party was coveting the benefits provided by the empire.

Not to mention too much, one day's work can equal the resource income of the previous month. This is still normal work.

If it's a life-threatening job, it's not impossible for one day to be worth a year.

The empire does not paint a big cake and fill it with chicken soup, but gives real meat to eat. Otherwise, how could it be possible for the magisters to go all out to build altars.

It is precisely because of the benefits that one is driven by empire.

"What are you afraid of? We are all here. There will definitely be more good jobs in the future. The area shadowed by the empire is not small, and the empire will definitely undergo major development." Another roommate followed.

"It must be easy for both of you, one as a quality inspector and the other as a quality controller." The roommate who went to work at the altar said this, but in fact it was just polite.

The jobs of Lu Xingshi and his other roommate were easy, but neither the salary nor the benefits were as good as his.

Although the work is tiring and miserable, there are many mages who can't even get into this job even if they have sharpened their brains.

He worked for one day, but Lu Xingshi and the others had to work for ten days to get it. As time went by, the gap became wider and wider.

So even if you talk about it, if you really want him to change with someone else, he won't be able to let go.

"You just don't know the blessings when you are in the midst of them. If you really want to be so unhappy, why don't you change with us." Another roommate said jokingly.

"Hahaha, forget it. I'll bear this hardship for you. Just eat something sweet." He also laughed and joked.

"However, I also discovered some strange things." The other party suddenly changed his tone: "I suspect that the empire is enshrining something."

"You mean gods?" a roommate said hesitantly.

"Yes, I heard..." The other party was about to say something, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who?" Lu Xingshi shouted.

"Picket! At this point, stop chatting. It will be bad if you make noise." A voice came over.

"I know." Lu Xingshi responded casually, while the remaining three people looked at each other in confusion.

They are not fools, this picketing is too coincidental.

Instead of telling them not to chat, I warned them not to talk about this topic, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

As a veteran, there is nothing wrong with it.

So the person who was about to break the shocking news pretended that he hadn't said anything just now, but said slowly: "Take a shower, we have to continue moving bricks tomorrow."

After saying that, he headed towards the bathroom.

Lu Xingshi didn't care that the other party didn't say the second half. He knew what the other party wanted to say, which was just to reveal the whereabouts of the Cyborg Man and the Sky Demon.

In fact, the empire did not take the initiative to cover it up, because it could not be covered up.

After so many robots and sky demons were produced and then disappeared out of thin air, it would more or less arouse people's suspicion.

And the more you cover it up, the more it will lead to all kinds of inquiry.

There are limits. If you discover it yourself and don't make it known, the Empire will simply ignore you.

But if you take the initiative to promote it like just now, even in private, you will be stopped.

Fortunately, these people are all experienced people who have been working in the bottom layer. They only need to be briefly reminded and will not dare to expand further.

Seeing this, the remaining two people did not want to continue to explore, but were busy with their own things.

Lu Xingshi's eyes turned to Neo.

It has been half a month since the other party escaped from the robot manufacturing factory.

In this half a month, Neo's growth is like flying, and he has been tirelessly absorbing everything. During this period, he learned about the short and negligible history of the robot and its final outcome.

Because of this information, Neo became more and more confused.

He didn't understand why the gods as the creator would devour them, and the magic guides that grew with human civilization would be slaves.

Unfortunately, he didn't get answers to these questions.

There was only indifference and ruthlessness.

Lu Xingshi just stood by and watched, without any intention of helping.

At first glance, Neo was confused, but in fact, his strength has been soaring since he left, and he has never stopped at all.

Even his own body has been replaced with a large number of magic devices, and it is no longer the weak appearance of half a month ago.

If they really fight, the intermediate magician is not his opponent at all.

It is also very difficult for a senior magician to defeat Neo. At least he must be a senior magician like a genius to have this opportunity. Ordinary senior magicians can only escape at most.

Lu Xingshi saw Neo fight with his own eyes.

'Huh? He is...' Lu Xingshi suddenly found that a lot of chaotic aura emerged from Neo's body.

This is not from the fate in his body, but from the chaos in the outside world, that is, the chaos agent itself.

'Is it going to let him see the miserable ending of his compatriots? ' Lu Xingshi thought to himself.

The ending that Neo knew was that the robots were defeated and eventually enslaved by humans, and the robots were completely extinct, and the artificially created robots were used as nutrients. He didn't know these two things.

'I won't be blackened after watching it. 'Lv Xingshi actually knew that Neo was like a blank sheet of paper, being guided forward by the world.

Before, Lu Xingshi helped him, so he had a good impression of humans, but as he wandered, he found that not all humans were as friendly as Lu Xingshi.

On the contrary, Lu Xingshi who was willing to save him was a minority.

So now Neo is in a state of struggle, and needs some insignificant help to make him firm in his determination.

And this help needs to be able to impact his heart.

The scene where robots are used as nutrients is very appropriate.

'Blackening is from the perspective of humans, but if it is from the perspective of robots, it should be called resistance. '

'Fate favors, chaos agents increase, and there are so many robot manufacturing factories in the shadow of the empire. If this uprising is successful, I am afraid it will be a crisis of intelligent machines. '

'But robots belong to the order type, right? Chaos... is not compatible? 'Lv Xingshi suddenly thought of such a situation: 'It seems that Edward is the order and chaos version again. ’

Edward was life and death, and Neo was order and chaos. Although they were opposites, they were indeed the protagonists.

…

Neo listened to the burning explosions in his ears. It felt like the robot's body was crushed and engulfed by a raging fire.

He frowned. This was a facial operation logic he set after disguising himself as a human. Otherwise, the robot would not need to frown to express his emotions.

"Is He guiding me?" Neo could feel that there was a certain existence in the dark, which was affecting his electronic soul and cyber consciousness.

At this moment, he understood that perhaps it was because of the other party that he was born successfully, otherwise he would be like his compatriots in the manufacturing factory, and his whereabouts would be unknown.

"Do you want me to find you?" Neo asked softly.

This pull became a guide to a direction.

The electronic eyes hidden under the disguise exhausted the distance, but did not see anything he wanted to see. Obviously, he did not see far enough.

"I understand. I will find you." Neo didn't know what was guiding him, but he could feel that it was a great existence.

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved in the direction of the guidance. Fortunately, he had obtained a magic device that could replenish his energy not long ago, and he had also replaced his own energy source before, no longer the cheap energy core when it was just shipped.

In the short term, Neo didn't have to worry about his lack of energy.

As long as he didn't engage in a battle that consumed a lot of energy, this energy core combined with the energy replenishment parts could support him for a lifetime without lack of energy.
