Chapter 40 You are crying

The barber went to ask about strangulation before.

The networks of each island are local area networks and are not connected to each other. If you want to check the information, you can't find it... and this kind of inquiry may also be reported to the company's network security department.

But the dream world is different.

The dream world is connected, and the whole world shares a dream world. New mages from each sky island and old mages on the ground will appear in the dream world. As long as they enter the dream world, the mages can exchange information with the mages from other sky islands.

Xingfu Island is not the only one with Xiacheng District, other sky islands also have places where these uncoded people gather...it's just that the places are different.

For example, Sogo Island, which he is most familiar with, is basically completely connected to the upper and lower city areas. Unlike Xingfu Island, all entrances are blocked or monitored, and the rest are kept secret... Anyone can enter the lower city area at any time.

Because the "Xiacheng District" alone cannot escape the eyes of the ubiquitous artificial intelligence. The uncoded people can only huddle in a corner of Xiacheng District, in a radio silent zone called the "Black Zone". Therefore, although Sogo Island

There is no distinction between upper and lower urban areas, but the "black area" is actually the lower urban area of ​​Xingfu Island.

For example, Tongshen Island, which is under the jurisdiction of Shenzhi Heavy Industry, although there is also a lower city area, the gathering place for the uncensored people is instead in the upper city area.

The difference from Happy Island is that they know production very well... Almost all of them are workers, because more than 90% of the population of Tongshen Island are workers. Therefore, they all know that if disputes and fighting destroy the factory, prices will

If they want to be promoted, everyone will have to go hungry together. And in the factories in Shangcheng District, almost all workers are from the same background as them, so it is even easier to hurt them.

Therefore, their disputes will try to avoid the running factories. The uncoded persons on Tongshen Island are usually not criminals, but organizers of strikes and demonstrations. They will even spontaneously exclude criminals from joining them, trying to maintain a kind of

"Internal Order".

As for the Hudson Marine Mining Company... As the lowest floating island, the lower city is too close to the ocean, making it extremely humid and uninhabitable. And their upper and lower cities are also connected, making it easier for aquatic creatures to interact with each other.

The "water channel" passing through is even as wide as a motorway.

The uncoded people over there live in the "port area". This refers to the area including the upper city and lower city, where workers are transported to the ocean exploration ships.

The giant dragon named "Hudson" is on the island. Although no one has seen its appearance, the island is much brighter than other islands. At least the company directors dare not do anything wrong. These illegal psychics,

Instead, they get along with the company in a semi-cooperative manner... As mercenaries when conducting some dangerous explorations, a small number of criminals usually focus on theft of resources and intelligence.

Happy Island is a special case... Few of the uncoded people on other empty islands can occupy such a large area like them.

As long as people can survive, it is always easy to tolerate it. For example, in the case of Hudson Ocean Mining Company, although the uncoded people also have no human rights, and there will be no enforcement department to hold them accountable if they are killed, but at least everyone will not shout about beating them and

Don't make a living by robbing and killing, but cooperate with companies...to do the most dangerous, but well-paying jobs.

For example, go mining on the ground.

Despite the protection, as long as the work clothes are slightly damaged, radiation and curses may still cause death. If ordinary people died in that place, it would cause a public uproar... But if it is an uncensored person, it doesn't matter.

Because they are "already dead". Even if they die, they will not be on the news, and they will not even be included in the accounts of human losses.

From another perspective, because they commit very few crimes, there are also many people in the upper city who sympathize with them and help them. There are even organizations like the "Uncoded Human Rights Foundation" that strive for their interests.

This way, they are less likely to rebel against the company.

Strangler's idea of ​​creating an "underground order" came from the inspiration given to him by mages from other empty islands.

He never believed that the Uncoded could defeat the company. But he also didn't want to surrender... In this case, controlling the losses and destruction caused by the lower city to the upper city might make it easier for people to accept their existence.

"But, he is too naive."

The godfather whispered: "Tovatus has a higher vision, and what he sees is right.

"These Uncoded Ones are essentially petri dishes...their purpose is to increase the number of illegal psykers.

"As for the idea that the number of psykers is fixed and that the possibilities of psionic power are exhausted, I can only half-believe it.

"I think that their...or at least Tianen Group's purpose is to reduce the number of psykers in the upper city. Because the more psykers are born in the lower city, the fewer of them will appear in the upper city.

But compared to 'annihilation', Tianen Group's actions are more like 'expulsion'.

"Because the force is too weak. Whether it is the arresting force or the trial force...it seems lazy.

“The working attitude of the execution department undoubtedly comes from the special execution department and the board of directors.

"I previously judged that the company's sudden attack on Xiacheng District was because their 'experiment was over.' But after additional information about the strangulation, I felt that the matter was not that simple.

"This is more like a 'harvest'. Clear out the lower city area, and then push in a new batch of opponents and unstable factors from the upper city area. Eliminate the old resisters, and then continue to cultivate new ones. Always control.

Their strength ensures that they will always be young, always immature, and have never truly suffered... so they will always be disliked."

"...Is that why you became a godfather and taught them?"

Morgan listened carefully: "Because you want to make them normal people?"

"They were normal people."

The godfather corrected him: "I just reminded them of it."

"...What a good father."

Morgan stared at him, a little absent-minded, as if he remembered something.

The barber turned his head and said helplessly: "You should know that I am not the person you know."

He also knew that he should not say this.

This is tantamount to admitting that he at least knows about the existence of Lan Gegui, and he was just pretending not to know her before.

But the surging emotions in his heart made him unable to control his impulse... so he made an irrational statement.

But now that I’ve said it, it’s better to say it directly

"Blue Bird is dead, and I am just a phantom born from his corpse. He is not me, and I am not him. You should not have any special feelings for me..."

"But you...are crying."

Morgan's words gently interrupted the barber's words.

Hearing this, the barber froze in place.

He reached out to touch the bridge of his nose and felt the moisture.

Am I...crying?

Is it the barber who is crying, or is it the bluebird?
