Overturned Tower

Mage is not an ancient name for psykers. In the past, there really were no so-called psykers.

Because psykers are actually the product of artificial birth.

The real meaning of this chip is not a "spiritual firewall", but a "spiritual vaccine".

As long as one wears it for more than three years, it will cut off the ability to enter the sea of ​​group subconscious—to reach the [Primary Wasteland].

In other words, as long as anyone who has worn a chip, will be eradicated as a mage's talent after they grow up.

This is to prevent those mages who are full of hatred, resentment, and pain, and have gone completely crazy during the war, from extending their hands to the floating island where "mages no longer exist".

After all, the awakening of the mage was too early.

As long as one day is enough to change the personality, its impact can awaken and become a mage. And this means that a large number of adolescents will awaken to become mages—when their consciousness goes deep into the original wasteland, they will see and communicate with mages who were abandoned on land in their dreams.

[They will learn the secrets from the past, accept the teachings from the mage, and think that the "second truth" that the mage told them is the real history]

[You don’t even need any guarantees, the promise alone is enough to make these young girls work hard for it, and become the hands of these mages to contact Sky Island]

[A small number of conservatives want to take back the floating island, but the vast majority of mages want to let the empty island fall—because their hearts have long been infected and twisted and corrupted. The more the main force contributes to the war, the more deeply it will be infected by the curse】

Russell shook his head upon hearing this.

...how can this be stopped?

Although objectively speaking, they were indeed used by mages. But what else can these "born sinful" children do?

In the eyes of the people in the lower city, everyone in the upper city is a terrible criminal; while the people in the upper city are called "salary slaves" by the lower city, without the slightest free will.

Although the Lower City has only been born for less than forty years, the Upper and Lower City have been completely divided.

Even if they don't become the mage's helpers to destroy the floating island, they will still choose to destroy all of them relying on their own will.

but…

Russell suddenly realized something.

He raised his head, raised his tail slightly, and asked slowly: "You will know that there are 'conservatives', that is to say..."

[My identity when I participated in the teaching method battle was also a mage]

The head portrait of the deer did not hide anything, and even answered what Russell did not ask:

[The Tower of Babel theoretically does not belong to either the mage or the Holy See. We initially wanted to mediate this inexplicable war, but in the end we failed...and were dragged into the war]

[The Tower of Babel at that time, some people belonged to the mage, and some belonged to the Holy See]

[In the end, there are only three people who survived the war of teaching and law. One of them is a frozen angel, and the other is a conservative mage trapped on the ground...the rest is me]

【If I am in this situation, I can still be considered alive】

Hearing this, Russell was silent for a moment.

His raised tail slowly drooped down along with his ears.

He realized the question he asked, and it seemed that he had hurt the deer head a little... He didn't know how to answer it.

But the head of the deer didn't care about Russell's offense.

She patiently explained:

[The threshold for awakening to become a so-called "psychic" is much higher than awakening to become a mage]

[After the awakening process of the mage's dream is blocked by the chip, this power will become more active. And after repeating this several times, dozens of times, it will become extremely pure and unstoppable... When it is finally awakened, there is no need to dive into the sea of ​​subconsciousness of the group and borrow the spiritual energy of the group to form a "spell". Reality can be distorted by one's own will]

[So although the types of abilities of psykers are monotonous, their power is far stronger than that of mages]

[Human rationality keeps people away from the depths of the subconscious and separates me from 'us'. The devil loses his rationality, just like a swimmer loses his swimming ring and sinks into the deep sea... But the deep sea is not sea water, but poisonous sewage—it is the spiritual pollution produced by mages when they create curses]

[Therefore, there is no problem with the "protection chip" technology itself. However, the elf scholar who created this chip must have not considered a problem...]

"...the appearance of the lower city, right."

Russell murmured.

"right."

Bad Day sat on the pipe, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, with two thick cables under his feet.

He sneered softly and replied.

Initially, it was only a fully automated factory, farm and other facilities that "must exist" but took up too much space. But in recent decades, as the conflicts have become more intense, it has become a shadow city where mercenaries, criminal organizations, and illegal psykers are active.

Under the circumstances that the head office could not take the initiative to use lethal weapons, these criminals united together... actually caused some troubles.

"Ordinary people think that the trouble comes from criminal organizations and mercenaries who gather together to commit crimes. But to me, it doesn't matter at all-it's just the life and death of individuals and the economic loss of companies. Really The trouble is that...

"The uncoded people who would be exiled and killed immediately after being caught can combine with each other and give birth to children.

"And there is no doubt that these children were not born in a regular hospital... There is no way they have a chip. They are born black."

Russell's pupils shrank suddenly, and his fists were clenched.

What did he realize—

"...The mage was born again?"

"Yes. It's like a flame that has been extinguished is rekindled. More than 30 years have passed, and as the new "born without a code" grows into their teens...the inheritance of mages has been revived again in the lower city."

Bad Day took a deep breath, and his expression became a little more serious: "Didn't you ask, who is the person behind Xiao Liuli? Then let me tell you—the organization called the 'Veil of Ignorance', they were originally An association of 'new generation mages'. And they are not the only association of mages.

"They are 'undesirables', theoretically not allowed to be born, because they have never owned chips, so they have no citizenship rights, no different from ownerless artificial intelligence, anyone who sees them can destroy and kill them at will.

"They lived in fear, hatred, and disorder, and answered the call of the mage's dream. In the dream, they came into contact with those mages who still lived on land, and were raised by these mages. And from them While learning enough vicious spells.

"—On the other hand, because the traces of the mage appeared from the empty island, there was also a new reaction from the Cyber ​​Church.

"The sleeping mechanical angels have released the refrigeration one after another and carried out the 'resurrection procedure'. According to the original agreement reached between the Cyber ​​Church and the head office, they have the right to send angels into the floating island to participate in patrols and help clear up the mages."

"...Isn't this a good thing?"

Russell turned to look at the bad day, and asked suspiciously: "The company lacks lethal force and can't spare manpower. Why don't you let the angels do it—they are professional. It's better than these young mages of the new generation... By the way, you can also clean up the lower city."

For Russell at least, this is definitely a good thing.

It's like being so busy here, that the brother company suddenly came to a wave of reinforcements.

A group of strong men who don't want to pay and work overtime crazily fell from the sky, quickly digesting the more and more work on Russell's side due to the large-scale failure of colleagues.

Obviously, this has a very good positive effect on Russell's desire to be a "life man".

"You still remember, Russell. The wills introduced by these mechanical angels are all 'sages' with different personalities."

"really."

Russell nodded: "So, they will definitely help to clear up the evils in Sky Island...The living environment of all people is good."

"The problem is that this year is 1202. And these 'angels' were born in 1103, the war ended in 1106, and the Angel Legion fell asleep the next year. The company of the Seven Giants was founded in 1119."

Bad Day said meaningfully: "For you who don't know history, you may not be able to understand the moral standards of people in the past era.

"Anyway, you just need to know... we're all sinners to these relics from the old days. And they're all adapted to the violence of the old days, not necessarily adapted to the changed generations... and corporate law as well Can't control them.

"The most important thing is that what the angels want is not just to get rid of a villain, kill a criminal, and dismantle a criminal organization. It is to 'return this evil era to the past'—rebuild the old era The 'Laws of the Earth' to restrain the 'Heavenly Man'. This is not just a threat to the lower city."

...how could I not understand?

Russell sighed.

In fact, in my opinion, the world is indeed full of evil...

Not even just uncoded.

Just half an hour ago, a group of people who clearly had chips but "never committed a crime" were still fighting Russell—they even assigned a person to bear the charge of killing Russell. Before that, he had killed several people like this... In this way, the other gunmen could become clean instead.

So, how many seemingly innocent people are really innocent?

It would be a good thing if we could really go back to the era when there were laws to follow.

Just, in the process...

Can the laws that angels are used to and pursued really adapt to people's way of life today?

What's the point of a law if it's a law no one wants to obey?

What will the angel do then?

Could it be possible to light a fire and burn this evil city in the sky?

…if that time ever comes. Even if he didn't want to, Russell had to stand up and fight the angels.

"I probably understand. The mages in the lower city form gangs and form gangs; the angels are also preparing to come, and try to take over some power and try to violently modify people's way of life... This will inevitably bring about a top-down all-round confusion."

Russell stared at the bad day, then looked back at the head of the deer: "So, what can I do?

"I'm just a new member of the Special Executive Department, and my psychic power is only a mere two levels of redshift... I'm so light-hearted, I can't do anything."

"It's very simple."

Bad Day smiled lightly: "You still remember... As long as you hold the chip for three years, you will lose the qualification to become a mage."

"…so what?"

"You are a person who is born knowing, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Russell. Both the deer head and I know about it."

Bad Ri said slowly: "Although I don't know which era you were from the ancients who were reborn in modern times... But you do have an aura of order that is incompatible with this era. It is not weakness or timidity, but a subconscious attempt to Obey laws that don't exist. I presume you're from a halcyon time...an old time with the concept of 'law'.

"Also, your sealed memory has just awakened. You haven't been affected by the chip for more than three years..."

"…memory?"

Russell asked in surprise: "Isn't it the body?"

"Russell" has been in contact with chips for more than 20 years.

It's just that he only recently remembered the memory of his previous life.

Bad Day nodded very positively: "The key lies in the memory—especially the memory corresponding to the spiritual energy, not the body. For example, if a person is reborn on his spare body, this body is undoubtedly just Transplanted chips, but his mage ability will still be completely banned.

"However, the chip on your body will still prevent you from entering the sea of ​​​​group subconscious. When I saw that you can change into someone else, I had a new idea.

"I don't know if you have noticed... When you became Alice, you didn't have a chip."

Hearing this, Russell's pupils shrank slightly into vertical pupils.

He finally realized—why Babel valued himself.

"Good guess, Russell."

Bad Day smiled happily: "Although you have a chip, you can still become a mage.

"Become a mage whose identity will never be revealed because he still has the chip."
