Overturned Tower

"It's really interesting."

After hearing Russell's story about the inferior, Bad Ridge nodded thoughtfully, "I've heard of the inferior before. He's quite famous in the mercenary circle."

"It's notorious."

Russell complained.

Bad Day shrugged: "What about the notoriety?"

His body was still leaning back. The angle between the chair and the ground was close to 40 degrees. He should have fallen to the ground a long time ago, but he still sat safely on the chair.

At the beginning, Russell was secretly looking forward to when Bad Day would fall to the ground in embarrassment, preferably when Coke soaked his clothes or put half-cooked cheese on his face... But now he realized that this should be part of Bad Day's psionic power, and he immediately It became very disappointing.

Boring boring.

"As a company dog, he has a notorious reputation in the lower city, which shows that his ability is indeed outstanding."

The bad day said leisurely.

Russell had heard of this black name before when he was working illegally in the lower city.

The uncoded people in the downtown area call the people in the Executive Department and the Special Executive Department "company dogs." As the name suggests, those who serve as hounds for the company to catch them.

In addition to "company dogs", there are also terms such as "salary slaves" and "wild dogs".

The former is used to describe those company employees who work honestly in the upper city and get a monthly salary; while the latter describes those employees who are not from the executive department and do not serve the head office—maybe they don’t even have a chip. Those who have no code, but only rely on their own wishes to punish the good and eliminate the evil "violent police".

After all, it is almost impossible for a coded person who has a chip and can locate it at any time to commit a crime.

In other words, if ordinary people can't think about it and decide to commit crimes, they don't even need the Department of Enforcement to arrest them...

There are devices for detecting chips everywhere at the intersection, and there are also cameras capable of face recognition. At the same time, almost every slightly larger store will connect all the people who enter the store to the local area network, and will register the moment they enter the door.

If they rob, steal, or kill someone, there is a high probability that the news from the company will be sent directly before they have even stepped out of the street—go and surrender.

—Of course, the company actually only mentioned that. Unless the media issues supervision, or the church or other head offices intervene in this matter, they probably won't even bother to send out the executive department.

After all, this is a "company", not a "country", and there is no written law.

The head office does not need to be responsible for the property and life safety of the residents, so they only need to make due statements in front of the media—for example, directly freeze all the property on the other party's account, disable the house key, and not allow the other party to Money transfers or purchases of any kind, nor the use of software of any kind is allowed. Things purchased before, such as floating vehicles, game goggles, and game cabins, will also refuse his use and login.

At the same time, when a prisoner enters any place, he will immediately send an alarm to other people in the same place, especially the security personnel, allowing them to carry out "pre-defense" and "preparation for suppression".

Just this level is enough.

Therefore, in this era of digitalization, the company does not need to send personnel to arrest... Unless the other party has caused losses to the company itself, then the executive department must be sent immediately to bring the person back.

In other cases, as long as the various permissions of the other party are blocked with a flick of a finger, the prisoner can only surrender himself; or escape to the black market, dismantle the chip and become an "uncoded person".

And the uncoded can really commit crimes.

Because they have no scruples—they will become uncoded, which in itself shows that they have committed crimes or have the consciousness of committing crimes.

Once the chip is removed, there is no going back. Life under the sun has been completely insulated from them since then, and they have to live in a chaotic world with scarce commodities, no Internet, and no restrictions throughout their lives.

That being the case, they naturally have nothing to fear.

Hordes jump back uptown at night, kidnapping, looting, stealing - you can't take money, but they can take people and things.

Beautiful girls can be sold for a very high price in the lower city, and boys can’t be sold in some places... Even if they can’t be sold, they can be broken up and sold for organs, or sold to some madmen in the lower city as materials and experimental products .

Or it can be used as a consumable to record some videos. In addition to the hot sale in the lower city, there is also a big market in the upper city.

As long as they are not arrested on the spot, they can drill back to the lower city through garbage channels, sewage outlets, etc.

The lower city is densely packed with important factories, and only a few places have Internet access. The cameras were also completely removed.

When weapons of mass destruction cannot be used, the executive department can only be forced to engage in street fighting with them.

However, the executive department is also full of daily life. Everyone didn't want to work for the head office to that extent - after all, if someone really made a name for himself in the downtown area, what awaited him would be revenge against his family.

Like the underdog.

"Maybe there are not few people who can be as good as the bad ones, but the real problem is that they 'dare not' to be so good."

Russell sighed: "The head office will not protect them at all, and the public opinion will not protect them. People hate the criminals in the lower city, and they also hate these 'company dogs'... They would rather they kill dogs and die together. When the family members are being retaliated against, they yell a few words and clean up the lower city, that's all at most."

When Russell talked about this topic, Bad Day also sighed rarely, and was returning to his chair: "Aren't you talking about Tian Tian to death..."

His expression became serious: "I can create an opportunity for you, let me investigate... You become a mage first. In this case, the success of the plan will be higher."

"...How do you say it's so solemn?"

Russell was a little surprised: "Don't you have a piercing swordsmanship that can kill people through walls from a long distance?"

"You know something. The elves who can be directors must be the core members who pass on the 'eighty-four fates'. They are either mages or priests. They are not as weak as they look, and they are all psychics. The starting level of level seven or eight. There are also very few monsters, such as Sai Lun."

Bad Ri said angrily: "It's fine for me to go by myself, but if you want to go too, I can't keep you...Are you sure you must go?"

"Yes, I have to go myself."

Russell said seriously: "Even if it's an elf, I have to take responsibility for his death—at least I have to witness his death."

"...Your words are strange. It seems that you have a higher status than these elves."

Bad Ri's expression is a little subtle.

Then he thought about it seriously, and added: "If you are worried about 'memory inheritance after death of elves', that problem is easy to solve. After that, I can teach you **** elves step by step. I am quite familiar with this subject. Have experience.

"Karmasser... I know that guy, he is about six hundred years old this year. In the elves' conception, he just came of age and began to pursue his destiny... and it turned out to be such a mess.

"But even so, he has lived from the heyday of the mage to the present. Even without the constraints of fate, your colleague who is called the inferior would not be able to defeat him."

"...In that case, what happened to the 'Amirus' on the airship before?"

Russell couldn't help but asked: "In fact, he can easily defeat those mercenaries."

Bad Day looked at Russell and raised his eyebrows: "You have already guessed it in your heart."

"I just wanted to make sure."

Russell repeated.

"Of course he did it on purpose. After all, he can't die, or it doesn't matter if he dies...Elves don't care so much about life and death, and 'fate' is more important to them."

"What the **** is he trying to do?"

"You have to be clear about one thing, Russell," Bad Day tipped his chair back again, "he didn't know you would be there, let alone me.

"Think about it, if neither you nor I showed up...what would happen?"

"...what will happen?"

The answer is beyond doubt.

There is only one possibility... Those mercenaries will succeed, and he will be captured by those mercenaries.

Regardless of whether the airship will crash, whether other first-class guests will survive... only this answer will not change.

"He invited those mercenaries himself?!"

Russell felt a little unbelievable, but felt inexplicably reasonable about it.

After being kidnapped, until now Amirus has not sent anyone to investigate this matter... From this point of view, he actually did not hide his purpose at all.

The whole plan is almost obvious.

"That's not true. If he really invited it himself, then the strength of this plan is too light. The other directors can easily investigate the truth...You guessed wrong here."

Bad Ri shook his head: "Think about it again, what kind of news does the head deer bring to you?"

"The revival of the mage team in the lower city..."

"Yes, let me just say it, the answer is simple.

"The ones who invited these mercenaries were indeed the mage association in the lower city. They bought some viruses from the Tower of Babel through middlemen to carry out this plan. But their original purpose was really just to get Amirus It's just a certain memory... By searching for some dirty and cruel secrets inside the cyber church, it will damage the church's reputation.

"But they are too young. They don't know that the reason why they can find out that Amirus will take this airship is because Amirus deliberately disclosed the information; Amirus didn't let any guards follow him, It was also his intention.

"Amirus will not disclose any information. He set a restriction on himself. Once any memory is burned into a chip, he will kill himself immediately to destroy the memory. He hopes to use his death to promote the church's investigation into the next generation. The vengeance of the Mages Society in the city, as a way to let the board of directors loose its grip on the church - for the reason of increasing the security of the directors, let the angels take over the policing of the 'upper city', not just the lower city."

Bad Day laughed: "Amirus is stronger than Calmathere. If those mad mages on the ground, after hearing the trash sent by those innocent children, could actually kill that iron bishop... they might suspect that they are Not crazy enough to hallucinate."

"... Is his old man so loyal to the church?"

"If it's an ordinary elf, of course it won't be the case. Even if they become cardinals, they are the embodiment of capital and power."

Bad Day shrugged: "But Amirus is different, he is the biggest exception, a true pious person. Amirus' fate is 'obsession'...he is obsessed with the 'day of reunion with God' promised by the church ' is coming, even more convinced of this matter than the Pope.

"Even the pope is not as pious as him. There are few popes in the past who can rest assured of angels. But Amirus is different. He is a true 'fundamentalist'."

This is understandable.

Russell nodded.

The Pope of the Cyber ​​Church is a rotation system, re-elected every seven years. Considering that the Pope himself has no real power, the elves have little interest in this position.

The person who became the pope was so complicated that he was able to escape from various political struggles and interest concessions, and the ability to awaken the power of the holy order was already the limit.

"Even the weakest angel is far more holy than the pope and the cardinal - but the irony is that only the bishop can appoint and remove angels. The vast majority of angels come from the bottom of the church, not the top. That's why However, the Pope is the one who is the most wary of angels and the least believer in the "divine device".

"But Amyrus is different. He really trusts angels... He even tried to transform himself into an angel, but failed. It's just because the elves can't use the god-fall device. Because of the brainwashing intensity of the god-fall device, it can't shake the elves at all fate'."

After talking here, Bad Ri suddenly thought of some fun, and laughed out loud.

"Speaking of...do you know the name Sai Lun?"

"The chairman of Tianen Group?"

Russell must have heard the name.

Every day when he goes to work, he sees the huge statue of Ms. Sai Lun in the park.

"Yes. But at the same time ~www.readwn.com~ she is also the clerk of the church. Her status is second only to the Pope... and this position does not need to be rotated."

But Bad Day showed a malicious smile: "Then guess, why do you Tianen Group... measure happiness? Or, what is the reference value of that 'happiness'?"

"…What's the meaning?"

Russell sensed something was wrong.

But he instinctively refused to admit it.

As for the bad day, it easily shattered the last illusion: "Happy Island is an empty island under her rule, and it is also the area with the highest 'happiness' in the world. The entertainment industry is extremely rich, and the media is not controlled. News, various social benefits, relatively low housing prices, preparatory work to prevent unemployment, free reimbursement of psychological treatment, and even drug treatment... And let me tell you, the Sky Island plan was also formulated by her. It can be said, It happened that she brought the survivors of the Sharia War to the empty island.

"The method of judging the degree of happiness comes from the church's research. Then, how do you think the world consciousness will judge this?"

"...will give her the power of the Holy Order."

"certainly!"

The bad day laughed loudly, and the voice full of sarcasm was extremely ear-piercing: "She saved the people of the whole world in the face of the world war, and led them to the empty island; she gave happiness to one seventh of the people in the world, Give them jobs and benefits, let them have food and shelter...

"—Chairman Sai Lun is now a living saint whose power of holy order is stronger than that of all angels!

"What do you think is that statue in Tianen Group? That is the statue she made for herself!"

Bad Day shook his head again and again, and sighed full of sarcasm and compassion: "Our blind and stupid god—"
