"I admit that you gave people a shelter to survive in the apocalypse, and I also admit that you have made efforts to rebuild civilization over the years, but I cannot approve of your method of managing the city. Even if everything you do is just for the children
, that doesn’t mean you have to exploit others like this, you can definitely make everyone live a better life.”
"I've given them a good life, it couldn't be better."
"You call this situation a good life? We spend almost all our lives in order to obtain survival supplies, and are monitored all the time. Is this the life that humans should have? Don't tell me that resources are scarce. Today's cities
The population is nothing compared to the previous era. If the distribution is reasonable, there is no need to worry! Moreover, the automation technology is more developed than before, and there is no need for so much labor. I never thought that one day you would become greedy and excessive.
Capitalist, you are no longer you..."
"Alas... Madam, you haven't changed at all, you are still an idealist, which makes me very happy."
"But you disappoint me."
"Madam, after everything you have experienced, don't you understand?"
"Understand what?"
"Human beings do not deserve a happy life and will always destroy it themselves."
"What? Oh, just because those anti-AI guys started a war, you want to deny all human beings? Isn't this too naive?"
"It's not just these ladies, it's not just these. Human beings are seeking death more than this. It may be difficult for you to accept, but today's society has an unprecedented stable structure. There has been no war on this planet for more than sixty years. Except for the helplessness of the people,
The illegal crimes have been eliminated, and there are basically no people making trouble. The vast majority of people live in a safe environment. Although it is hard every day, everyone can survive. There is no famine or unrest. Even in our country,
The times have not done it either..."
"But people live not just to live! What's the point of living like a machine?"
"But if they don't live like machines, they won't be able to continue living. They will definitely find a way to kill themselves! I don't want this, but only by filling people's lives with work will they stop thinking about everything.
Heaven opposes this and that. Never underestimate the power of idlers. The last era was destroyed by a group of idlers who had no worries about food and drink. I can't let this tragedy happen again. Even now, it has still developed as it naturally will.
An organization dedicated to destroying the structure of modern society, but I can't continue to add to people's burdens. I know they are already working very hard. Human beings have a tendency to self-destruct. Only by restraining them with heavy labor can the stability of this population be ensured.
Continuation. Madam, please think carefully about our past and the history of the last era. Artificial intelligence and automation have made society more prosperous than ever, but there are always people who enjoy the results while hating the source. In the final analysis, human beings are just a kind of undesirable people.
Creatures that are prone to causing trouble are tantamount to murder if left unchecked, and they are not worthy of the kind of world we envision."
"..."
"No matter how advanced technology is, it cannot bring happiness to everyone. Human beings are not born worthy of happiness. This is my most profound realization in these years."
"I admit that the phenomenon you mentioned exists in reality, but... there are still dream chasers in this world. Dream chasers like us, not everyone wants to make trouble after eating and drinking."
"But dream chasers will always be a very small minority and cannot change the human species. We all thought we could change the world, but the results were tragic."
"We're just... unlucky. An accident happened... We were almost successful!"
"It can't be successful, madam. It's inevitable, not accidental. You don't like history, but human history is full of 'self-destruction'. Human beings will not be satisfied with a happy life, or what human beings need.
Not only happiness, but also suffering is needed. If there is no suffering, then people will create suffering by themselves. This is humankind's own choice, and it abounds in history."
"I agree with this. Uncivilized civilization is like a naughty child without parental supervision. Death is the norm."
Sai interjected.
"Does Miss Sai think so too? I thought you would have different opinions from different worlds..."
Lecia was a little sad, and the look she looked at Sai revealed disappointment and sadness.
"It's not a belief, it's an objective fact. The future of our civilization is destined to follow your path, but it has been changed due to the intervention of external factors. If not, the wonderful earth today would not exist at all.
"
"What external factors?"
"You will know this later, so let's continue discussing the problems of this world."
Sai changed the topic back.
"Raeder, you have also gone outside to see what you think of today's society."
Mr. Concern asked his daughter calmly.
"Ah? What do you think?"
The girl was startled. She was just quietly in the background, why was she suddenly asked a question? She obviously didn't raise her hand?
"Yes, tell me what you think, kid. You have seen this real world. Do you think this world is good? You are very similar to me. Do you agree with your father's view?"
Lecia seemed to have found a breakthrough point. She felt that her daughter would be dissatisfied with such a world.
"I……"
"There is no need to be nervous. You are a family after all. Although it is more than a hundred years too late to get together, they are your biological parents and the people closest to you. Whatever you want and can say, just say it.
"
Sai gently patted Raeder's shoulder.
"Huh~~~"
The girl took a deep breath. This action had no meaning to the Cybermen, but the girl's body imitated most of the functions of a natural person, which also made her more like a natural person.
"Actually, I hate the prison-like home more than the outside... Although the outside is very messy and the living environment is very bad, at least I can live without restraint. And I don't have many needs. I just do a little bit.
I can do whatever I need to make a living, and it doesn’t feel very hard... I used to not understand why other people were so busy and still had a bad life, but now I know that it was all designed by people like my father. If they could not work so hard, maybe
Will you be as comfortable as me?"
"It's impossible Raedel. Their desires are much more than yours, but their abilities are far different from yours. They are a group of incompetent and greedy people. You can live freely wherever you go because you are a high-quality elite.
, have abilities and at the same time know how to control desires. Ordinary people cannot be like you. Even if I give them everything for free, they will object to me because they think it is not enough or good enough. Such human beings do not deserve a free life."
Mr. Concern immediately retorted.
"You are too arrogant. I don't believe that everyone is like that. There must be people who have the same dreams as us, but you simply and rudely destroyed their right to pursue their dreams!"
Lecia was still insisting, even a little angry.
"Madam, you have also seen that excellent people can live well in any environment, while inferior people will turn heaven into hell. I believe there will be people who pursue their dreams, but I do not have the ability to take care of them.
I'm exhausted trying to maintain the status quo."
"I can understand that the abilities of mortals are limited."
Sai answered.
"That's why I decided to open up a new world, at the expense of the happiness of the residents of that world. It's too difficult to let people have the same dreams as us, so I chose to directly control and develop that planet with them, but I didn't expect
But an unknown accident happened. That was not my intention, it really wasn’t, alas~"
Mr. Concern sighed.
"...but you have committed a serious crime after all."
Lecia lowered her head.
"Yes, I am willing to accept any punishment, but I think everything I do is necessary."
