Chapter 20 Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite
"...Sister Flotte?"
After Xia heard the sound of the delphinium, her eyes suddenly lit up. Her ears suddenly stood up, as if she was still napping in the nest, but suddenly she heard the owner's pet opening the door. A look on her face
Immediately, he showed uncontrollable joy.
"Brother, is he--okay?"
"It's okay, I'm okay, and Bing Shui is okay... It's just that he ran into some trouble and couldn't come back, and he couldn't take care of things on Happy Island. In other words, he was fighting a more difficult enemy - so he
Let me come back first."
Delphinium smiled softly.
She had a certain temperament that Xia had never seen before... This made Xia feel a little intoxicated for a moment. She wanted to rely on her, but also wanted to act coquettishly towards her.
But Xia quickly realized something was wrong: "But, I remember Sister Flotte, aren't you...is your health okay now?"
She wasn't used to calling Delphinium "sister-in-law" or "ma'am", so she just called her "sister".
"One of the reasons why I came back was actually to take care of my children."
Delphinium lowered her eyes calmly and hugged Xia gently: "Now, the Sogo Island side has also fallen into chaos - even more intense than the Happy Island side.
"There is a resistance force against artificial intelligence. Under the banner of "returning human jobs to humans," they lead a group of people everywhere to smash cameras, destroy unmanned vehicles, autonomous machines, and assassinate maintenance personnel.
Artificial intelligence engineers, as well as highly intelligent talents with jobs. There are a large number of pilots and psychic hackers among them, and they are even trying to attack the Three Sages...
"Originally, they were going to collapse at the first touch. But with the support of a certain force, the Three Sages kept being disconnected inexplicably. When the Three Sages were unable to control the entire island normally, the Sogo Group, which had become accustomed to artificial intelligence taking over everything,
But he was extremely uncomfortable with those thugs.
"The Son of God collapsed and the Buddha was beheaded. Past sacrificial activities were interrupted, and viruses were imported into the prayer devices in the church. All part-time praying nuns will reveal all their personal information and be kidnapped from their homes or killed; priests dare not
Enter the church, and the church is occupied by thugs. Neither the angels nor the executive department can directly attack and bomb the church.
"And at night, thugs with bombs tied to them patrol the streets. They are not only attacking artificial intelligence, but even girls who have not had time to go home will be directly kidnapped by them, and they will even commit violence on the street."
"…Sounds really ridiculous."
Xia frowned: "Why does it feel like it's more troublesome than the Happy Island side?" "Sogo Island is the most troublesome - that side is the main battlefield, because our main force is also on Sogo Island."
Delphinium nodded and admitted Xia's speculation: "The crisis on Happy Island is probably similar to that on Tongshen Island and Yongquan Island."
"It's just Tongshen Island... I remember that Yongquan Island is not the freest and most peaceful island in the sky?"
"Yes. But Yongquan Island also has its own contradictions and hatreds - there is a rebel army on their side, under the banner of 'equality of spiritual beings,' but they are attacking all aquatic spiritual beings indiscriminately and robbing aquatic spiritual beings.
A store opened by citizens. Although there are calm people who realize that there must be something fishy behind this... but the hatred is still directed towards those land creatures.
"As for Tongshen Island, there are quite regular rebellions. There are always rebellions there, and they can wipe out one or two every week, and there are three or four every week. Anyway, their buildings are not afraid of bombing, and Sanshen
The heavy industry's repressive methods are also more severe, so the noise of fighting will be greater.
"Recently, they have reached the level of direct confrontation between heavy-armed robots in the city. The company dispatched a large number of armed drones, while the rebels wore military exoskeletons and engaged in high-intensity street fighting. Innocent citizens were affected and died every day.
They all start in three digits, leaving aside the injured.
"Many companies have shut down because of this, people are unwilling to go to work under fire, and the Internet has been highly disturbed by the rebels. People staying at home are afraid of the rebels, and they are thinking wildly because of boredom, and they are also suffering from random thoughts.
Feeling more scared.
"Now the market activities on Tongshen Island are almost completely suspended... the lower city area is occupied by the rebels.
The storage materials in the upper city area are gradually depleted, and people are also feeling anxious because the food reserves are gradually depleted. And the few executive officers are sent to protect the high-level officials... Now there is a battle between man and machine on the other side of Tongshen Island.
struggle,."
"...It sounds like things are really good here on Happy Island."
Xia frowned and corrected what he said before: "Where are the other Sky Islands?" "Other Sky Islands have not yet experienced this level of chaos, but there are some signs... In other words, they dealt with it more promptly. It may also be that
The enemy's attention was not focused on them."
Delphinium said, turning his gaze to Shu Ya, showing a dignified smile: "Thanks to Mr. Shu Ya this time. Otherwise, the situation on Happy Island will also become tense. Thank you for your hard work."
"...No, it's nothing."
Brushing his teeth shook his head.
Lying on the bed, I could clearly see the change in Xia's expression: before, she looked like she had become a "big shot" - her brows were always furrowed, and her eyes shone with rational light. Now that she has
A kind of consciousness that seems to give up something in order to achieve something, and realize how many people's fates they hold in their hands, and what kind of pressure they bear.
The only thing that comforted him was that when Delphinium opened the door and walked in, Xia instantly transformed back into the girl she was. This meant that she would always have someone she could rely on, and it also meant that the world was not that bad yet.
superior.
Half a year ago, when Shu Ya first met Xia, she could only be regarded as a child who had barely shed some of her childishness.
It’s like a student who doesn’t know the sorrow of the world and leaves the campus full of laughter. He starts to try to support himself for the first time and realizes that life is not easy and making money is difficult. When he looks up, he seems to be able to see through his future at a glance;
It is also like guarding the ancient port lighthouse alone, deeply aware that as long as there is some problem with my work, innocent people will pay a heavy price for it.
The color of dreams fades away, revealing the essence of reality - and the essence of reality is pain.
Thousands of pains and difficulties. Everyone has his or her own misfortune, and every family has its own scripture that is difficult to recite...but some are particularly difficult to recite.
Even if you spend several generations trying your best to climb up and become a "big shot", just one small mistake, an unsolvable problem, and an unsatisfactory descendant may fall from the height again.
Shu Ya has personally experienced this kind of shock in life - his life has been full of ups and downs, falling from a high place and rising from the abyss. It is precisely because he understands the impermanence of the world that he decides not to fight for it or to fight for it in this life.
Humans are not elves. Mortals only have a lifespan of a few decades, and they live long after death. No matter what level they reach or who they become, there will always be disasters that belong to them.
As the saying goes, it's rare to be confused. That's why combing your teeth can always make you live easily.
He is only forty years old now, but he had the thoughts of sixty years old when he was twenty years old. Because of this, he can clearly realize that Xia, who always has clear and pure eyes like glass,
Now I am also trapped in the curse of "reality".
She is no longer a floating dreaming girl, nor a brave man saving the world in her dreams. Instead, she is a "big shot" who truly holds power and wants to do something practical - there is a burning fire in her eyes.
Objectively speaking, this is good.
But I don't like this feeling when brushing my teeth.
It is the irresponsibility of those "adults" that children who should be dreaming are forced to take on a mountain of heavy responsibilities that can overwhelm their meager lives and become big figures who determine the fate of the world.
No matter how nice the words "give them possibilities" and "let them realize their dreams" sound good, it cannot excuse the incompetence of adults. It is the incompetence of the board of directors and those who hold power in the company.
It was her father Dodgson who felt confused and handed over this power to Miss Xia.
Kasumi has indeed grown up and woke up from her dream.
And other sky islands also have their "Kasumi".
These boys and girls with heroic dreams grew up in a hurry, facing increasingly severe situations, and dealing with problems that even adults find difficult...
