When Russell heard this, he looked out the window subconsciously.
Smoke and dust were scattered in the starless night sky, and the gray-white moonlight was dim like dust.
Only then did Russell notice that the gray full moon was now as large as a disk.
"...Today turns out to be a full moon."
Russell murmured.
The color of the moon is just like the gray and white reflected in the camera when you use the black and white filter of your mobile phone to shoot the moon. The neon light reflected in the gorgeous nightless city on the ground makes the brilliance of the full moon dim and transparent.
It almost seems to disappear.
Only then did he remember... He hadn't raised his head to look at the moon for a long, long time.
There is no custom of admiring the moon in this world. After all, the gray-white moon, which is so dim that it is almost transparent, is indeed nothing to look at.
In other words, people in this world have never developed the habit of raising their heads and taking a look at the gray dome.
At this moment, the smoke is still floating outside the window. Through the dim moonlight, you can still barely see the smoke that is visible to the naked eye but gradually dissipates, and the fine texture is gradually spread in the air.
Even though he was separated by a very well-sealed window, Russell seemed to smell the smell of gunpowder smoke filling the air.
"The dragon's prohibition...is it okay not to obey it?"
Russell did not look back, but just stared at the smoke that had not yet dissipated: "The requirement to destroy weapons and prohibit thermal weapons from killing people must be the order of the Dragon."
"To be precise," the voice of No. 44 was cold, "the real restriction of the dragon is actually 'No one is allowed to use thermal weapons that can be mass-produced, initiate or participate in any large-scale killing of the same kind'. In this prohibition, everyone has nothing to do with it."
The board of directors of the island company has only the responsibility of supervision to the public. Because of this, the specific implementation efforts of the boards of directors of each island are slightly different. This can be carried out to a certain extent according to the management ideas of each island.
of adjustment.
"Just like on Sogo Island, Taoyuan Island and Happy Island, private individuals who are found to be holding thermal weapons can be sentenced to deportation unconditionally, but companies can also choose to ignore it; on Sun Island, Holy Blood Island and Tongshen Island, civilians are allowed to hold thermal weapons.
There are dangerous weapons, and there are even shops that sell them legally. It’s just that
While holding a weapon, it is tantamount to voluntarily giving up the right to be protected. To be more specific, as long as an individual possesses a dangerous weapon that allows an untrained child to take away the lives of others, and in
When someone dies in a fight, the killer is considered innocent if he does not possess a weapon of the same level.
"——This is the 'consensus on the right of self-defense for the weak' implemented in our three islands. That is, holding dangerous weapons is not considered a crime in itself, but holding weapons is equivalent to giving up the personal rights protected by the consensus. Anyone can
It can be killed.
"If you don't understand, you can understand it this way: All civilians on our empty island are equally protected by the 'consensus', and the consensus is the common will of all civilians on the empty island. The power to protect every citizen comes from
It serves the will of all people and in turn serves all individuals. If you do not trust the protection of the consensus and choose to use your own power and violence to protect yourself, you are breaking away from this consensus. Then the consensus is lost.
The need to continue to protect this individual and remove him from the group."
Russell turned around and found that even though he was not looking at No. 44, she was still bowing deeply to him.
She maintained her bowing posture and her voice was calm and clear: "The civilian armed security drone independently developed by this hotel can only connect to the hotel's wireless network, so it can only move around the hotel; at the same time, the drone is on
The predictive security and defense equipment held is not detachable because it is forged in one piece; the behavioral logic of the drone is completely controlled by the program set up by the hotel in advance, and there is no possibility of being exploited by any individual.
"Because of this, it can be regarded as a security device by the dragon. Because it is essentially just a slightly smarter grid fence. Considering the precious identity of the passengers here, it is understandable to apply more radical security strategies.
"
...smart grid?
Does it refer to the kind of smart grid that uses radio equipment and network cameras to monitor the surrounding area for fifteen kilometers, and after discovering enemies, uses smart cannons and howitzers to blast them into pieces?
Even Russell was stunned for a moment when he heard these somewhat outrageous remarks. Not to mention Ringo next to him.
Although Ringo also belongs to the "three air islands where guns are allowed", she definitely did not realize the meaning of the truth revealed by No. 44——
No. 44's attitude towards "guests" is really too honest.
She kept nothing secret. And from these words, a lot of information can actually be revealed.
Putting aside the attitude of the dragon...the reason why some of these three islands allow people to hold guns is because Holy Blood Island, Sun Island, and Tongshen Island have stronger murderous intentions towards the people.
No wonder this place is not like Happy Island, where a large number of uncensored people have accumulated and are active in Xiacheng District.
It is precisely because of the prohibition on possessing thermal weapons, but it is not completely blocked, that once people's pressure reaches a certain level, they will immediately vent it.
——And as long as they choose to "vent", they will be killed. So it is not easy to form a group and form a force...
To put it simply, it is precisely because individuals have the power to act that they will not choose to act in a group way. After all, once a group is formed, it must abide by the discipline within the organization, and there must be a power class within the organization, too.
Will form cliques. Many things will become less pure...
Even people who play games don't want to join any guilds - it's not necessarily because the players are afraid of society, but more because they just find it troublesome. Because they can predict that once they join a guild, they will probably quarrel in the end.
Or arguing. Rather than getting tired of it, it would be better not to have any contact in the first place.
And if this game can be played well by one person without losing any gaming experience; on the contrary, joining a guild will slow down one's efficiency. How many people will still choose to form or join a guild?
Definitely, but not too much.
——This is Tongshen Island’s decision.
They allow ordinary people to buy guns normally, which means everyone has the ability to act independently.
Whether you want to shoot an enemy, or you want to get rid of your boss or love rival...if you want to, you can do it.
Even if you are crazy and want to take revenge on society, you can still attack passers-by indiscriminately on the street, or attack an elementary school.
At the same time, the way the company wants to get rid of a person has become much simpler.
Just find a way to sell or give someone a gun and you have a reason to kill them as a matter of course...
And when smart people finally show up and want to destroy powerful enemies that are hard to reach - such as the head office or the Tartarus Hotel, they can't find anyone who can cooperate.
Because they all have clearer "enemies" and also have ideas and methods to deal with their enemies.
After killing the enemy, the hatred and resentment accumulated in their hearts were relieved a lot.
The so-called one-stop effort will eventually lead to exhaustion. The little courage left may not allow them to choose to continue to be enemies of the head office... After all, people are always short-sighted. The enemies close at hand have been solved, and if the execution department does not
By catching them, they hope they can return to their original comfortable lives.
——At that time, how many people will be able to stand up openly and declare the head office as the enemy?
