Chapter 45 Concealment and Deception
The voice of the scepter became a little contemptuous. I don’t know when it started, but the extremely strange tone of the scepter, which was neither male nor female, actually began to appear in emotions.
"A humble slave, I was very satisfied with your logical ability, but now it seems that emotions really affect your brain. In the third article of the slave code, your doubts have been clearly explained. Under the third article, you should not question that I had lie to you, at most it was just a concealment."
Shi Lei was stunned, and he carefully recalled the words of the Scepter just now.
Article 3 of the Slave Code.
"After completing the novice trial stage, the slave officially became a slave to the slave development bank."
Since you have to complete the novice trial stage before you can officially become a slave, Shi Lei once proposed not to become a slave to anyone, isn’t it just an indication that he wants to quit?
The Scepter also understood that before becoming a formal slave, Shi Lei had the right to choose to withdraw. Exit may be accompanied by certain punishment. After all, this damn slave development bank is not a charity. This punishment may be to make up for all expenses, or maybe a part of the body will be wiped out like Shi Lei's hair, but that must be able to withdraw.
Why did this damn scepter insist that it did not deceive Shi Lei? This is obviously a deception.
Concealment and deception are indeed different, but concealment should be based on Shi Lei's ignorance and no questions asked. In that case, the scepter can of course choose not to raise it on its own initiative, otherwise how can he push Shi Lei into this pit?
However, Shi Lei has made it clear that he does not want to become a slave to anyone. Even if his request was not so firm at the time, he even blurted out a little subconsciously. The scepter cannot be regarded as Shi Lei's never raised any questions, right?
...
Shi Lei was puzzled and thought about it, but he still felt that he had been deceived.
He became more and more angry. This damn scepter clearly deceived himself, and pretended that it had never violated the rules.
Shi Lei was almost cursing, even though he actually understood that his scolding was useless to this scepter hidden behind the screen.
But just as he wanted to rush out, Shi Lei suddenly paused. A thought flashed through his mind. He asked: "If I violate the code, I will inevitably be punished. So what if you violate the code? Will you also be punished?"
The scepter seemed to be stunned and did not answer, probably because it felt an accident.
After a long time, the scepter laughed strangely and made a voice that was neither male nor female: "What a smart slave. It seems that this journey will be more interesting. None of your seniors can ever think of this."
Although there was no direct answer to Shi Lei's question, the performance of the scepter undoubtedly showed that Shi Lei guessed correctly.
"Answer me positively, what will your punishment be if you violate the code!"
"Damn slave, this is not the question you should ask. You are just a humble slave. How dare you talk to me in such a tone! I am the supreme scepter. I can wipe you out at any time and make you like your senior!" The scepter felt offended and was obviously angry.
At this time, Shi Lei calmed down completely. He snorted and continued, "Even if I have become a formal slave now, I am just a slave to the slave development bank, not yours. As for the relationship between us, who is the slave of whom is not necessarily. Eliminate me? If I do not violate the code, if you try to erase me, you will definitely violate your code. Although I don't know the consequences of your violation of the code, I think it will definitely not be better than being erased. Perhaps, as a living body with superpowers but without a body, your life body will be completely erased and erased from the aspect of the living body!"
The scepter fell silent and did not continue to roar at Shi Lei. Perhaps it was shocked by what Shi Lei said. It never expected that Shi Lei could actually analyze this level.
"You don't need to answer. It seems that I have found the correct answer. If I am a slave to the slave development bank, why don't you? We are just Party A and Party B located under the slave development bank, and we will be slapped by the slave development bank. To put it bluntly, this black card that seems useless is the real master. Don't pretend to be compared with me in the future, I don't like this!"
The scepter was furious, and this was the first time it showed its true anger: "You fart! You humble slave, you dare to offend me like this, I..."
Shi Lei interrupted the scepter without mercy. He smiled and said, "What can you do if I offend you? You just have basic dialogue rights, and I even suspect that you have no ability to punish me at all. All the punishment is caused by this black card."
"You won't want to try it. You will never know what will happen after you really anger me. Do you really think I don't have the ability to punish you? You humble guy!" The scepter was still roaring, but he felt much more comfortable in Shi Lei's ears. After all, he already knew that the scepter could not punish him at will.
Shi Lei smiled disdainfully and said, "Maybe you really have super abilities, maybe you can indeed erase me anytime and anywhere. This may be because I think too much about this. But I also believe that if you erase me without violating the code, or even if you just give me a very small punishment, you will be punished by this black card. Stop pretending, compared to me, you are even more afraid to violate the code at will."
The Scepter gasped in anger but did not say a word. It was obvious that Shi Lei had completely understood the truth.
Shi Lei, who had completely calmed down and had regained his thinking ability, also understood why he clearly stated that he did not want to be a slave to anyone, but the scepter did not violate the code.
In addition to previous speculations, Scepter also said that after Shi Lei inserted the black card into the ATM and entered the password, he had become a slave of the slave development bank, or the slave of this black card. The difference is that he was still a slave in the trial stage of the novice at that time, and now he has become a formal slave of the black card. Of course, the word slave is just a wishful thinking statement of the black card, or it is simply the statement that Scepter evolved to satisfy its boring vanity. To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to a contract signed between Shi Lei and the black card.
If a black card is described as a company, then after Shi Lei enters the password, he will sign a contract with the company and become an employee of the company. As an employer, the black card will provide Shi Lei with a quota that matches his position level every week, or every fixed time period. As an employee, Shi Lei must spend all the quota within a fixed time period according to the contract, otherwise he will accept punishment from the employer.
The scepter plays a communication role between the employer and the employee. The employer is rigid, but the scepter is flexible. It has its own ideas. In order to achieve a certain purpose, it will choose to actively inform or conceal it. However, as long as the employee Shi Lei, involves the rules of the employer, the scepter must be clearly explained.
So, according to the logic of the black card, Shi Lei was already the employee after entering the password, so when Shi Lei suggested that he did not want to be a slave to anyone, this would not be passed.
The foothold will be deteriorated, and the logic will no longer be true.
At that time, if Shi Lei was not saying that he did not want to be a slave to anyone, but that he did not want the amount given by the black card and that he wanted to return to his normal life, then the scepter must be told truthfully, and Shi Lei would have the opportunity to quit.
