On the night when Li Bo'an was buried, many vicious and violent incidents suddenly broke out around the world.
Some occur in private villas far away from residential areas, while others occur in downtown areas.
Most of the victims are upper-class people with status and status.
However, for some unknown reason, all the injuries did not result in actual deaths, and the people who caused these vicious attacks were gradually arrested by the police.
It seems that a sudden storm was contained in time, but in fact, the real waves are raging in the dark.
Many of the Arbiter's stations were captured, and a large number of Arbiters and the forces and forces related to the Arbiter were bloody purged.
Overnight, hundreds of casualties shocked the entire C-suite.
The Supreme Council also issued an emergency document, requiring the military intermediary councils of each major dome to mobilize garrison troops to assist the arbiters in the region to launch counterattacks against the enemy.
During the counterattack, the Arbiter captured several enemy leaders alive, but these guys regarded death as nothing, and there was nothing in the neuron core. They were a group of complete dead soldiers.
Unable to immediately identify the culprit behind the scenes, the Arbiter became furious. Not only did he start cleaning up his disciples again, but he also went to greater lengths than before. Many innocent people, even disciples who had been designated as security personnel, suffered catastrophic disasters overnight.
From July 13th to July 20th, 136, during this week, a total of 311 arbitrators died in action, 1,515 arbitrators were injured to varying degrees, and more than 300 arbitrators were injured in various degrees.
The garrison supporting the Arbiter was killed, nearly a thousand others were injured, and the whereabouts of nearly a hundred people are unknown...
In one week, the Arbiter eliminated a total of 3,915 disciples, captured 124 intruders alive, and affected more than 7,000 "innocent people".
Seeing that the situation was about to worsen, the thugs who were causing trouble around the world the day before disappeared without a trace overnight. The top leaders of the Arbiter suddenly issued an order asking the Arbiters everywhere to stop all clean-up operations.
, at the same time, the Supreme House issued a new document requiring local garrison forces to assist the police in maintaining regional security and stability.
After many orders were given, the battle finally came to an end.
The public's panic was also calmed before it broke out.
However, scholars and civil society groups in various regions became active after the epidemic basically ended.
They first sent out personnel to secretly investigate the basic information of the victims in the massacre, and then went to the hospital to find the police officers who were injured in the massacre... Then they began to focus on attacking the arbiter, believing that all these actions caused
All losses shall be borne by the arbitrator.
In response to this kind of attack, the Arbiter, who has already suffered heavy losses, will naturally not remain silent.
Especially in Percival, when some scholars led the people to protest outside an arbiter's station that day, an arbitrator was besieged for "offensive words", and then the arbiters stationed in the station rushed out.
Shock bombs were thrown at the demonstrators.
Although the lethality of this kind of thing on the battlefield is far less than the deterrent effect, most of these demonstrators are ordinary people and they are crowded together.
Several shock bombs were thrown out, killing three people on the spot and injuring more than ten others.
Seeing that the arbiter not only failed to take the initiative to take responsibility, but also took action against legal citizens, the demonstrators could no longer control their emotions, so a demonstration turned into a riot in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Percival's garrison was dispatched in time and another bloody storm was avoided.
But after this conflict ended, it pushed the entire institution of the Arbitrator to the forefront.
As one of the current top managers of the Arbitrator, Han Kongwen has been criticized and ridiculed by human rights activists around the world. Under pressure, the House of Representatives had no choice but to launch an emergency investigation, temporarily withdrawing Han Kongwen's highest authority credentials, and dispatched
Several top supervisory officials conducted supervisory inquiries on Han Kongwen.
At the same time, arbiters from various regions were also gathered together for investigation.
At this point, the fire that was ignited on the night of July 13th was finally extinguished...
…
"Hahahaha! Come on, come on! Everyone! Let's raise a toast together! I wish our Hongyan good luck in wealth!" Wang Fugui was very happy tonight.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was also quite warm.
But Zhang Yi had been blowing the wind on the rooftop upstairs and did not join in.
But he was not alone. There was someone who had been with him since he left the venue.
This person is not Lilin, but the long-lost Felim...or rather...Li Shaoan...
"You asked me just now what public opinion is... I really didn't know how to answer you for a while... but now I seem to have figured it out. Do you still listen?" Felim asked Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi faced the wind with a cold gaze, and after a long while he said: "Say."
"In fact, public opinion is very simple to understand... The so-called public opinion... is the breeze blowing, the grass bows... it is the power of a spark, which can also start a prairie fire... it is a dog in the water, everyone beats it, regardless of whether it is good or bad..." Phiri
Mu used three metaphors.
Zhang Yi heard it clearly and tasted it carefully, and it was indeed the case.
Especially the riots caused by the recent demonstrations around him.
"Public opinion can be the best thing or the worst thing, but looking at it now, it is undoubtedly the best state for us." Felim smiled.
Zhang Yi frowned, he hated this laughter.
"Why did you choose me in the first place?" Zhang Yi asked.
Felim said calmly: "Because the ultimate purpose of establishing Hongyan is to promote a good result, not to establish a
Dark Empire."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi turned around and looked at Felim and said, "Good result? Why can't I see clearly anymore?"
Felim smiled faintly and said: "I can't see clearly because there have been too many unnecessary sacrifices in recent events, but this does not mean that we will continue to do this in the future. After all, in the final analysis, we are just a group of people living in the world.
Just rats in the sewer."
mouse……
After hearing this, Zhang Yi asked: "Then have you ever heard of Beast Fighting Chess?"
Ferim was stunned: "Beast fighting chess?"
"Yes, in beast fighting chess, the elephant eats the tiger, the tiger eats the leopard, the leopard eats the dog, the dog eats the cat, the cat eats the mouse, and the mouse...eats the elephant." Zhang Yi stared at Ferim's eyes and said, "You
Although I still don't know what you want to do, but if you say that you just want to be a mouse, this lie is too perfunctory."
After hearing this, Filim laughed and said: "You are right. Although we are mice, mice can eat elephants. Now that we have tormented the cats to a fault, the next step is to attack the elephants."
Seeing that Zhang Yi had exposed him, not only did he not feel panic at all, but it actually made him feel proud, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Then he asked: "Elephant? Who is the elephant?"
Philim looked around the rooftop and said, "All you can see are elephants."
Zhang Yi was startled, then frowned and said: "You want to subvert the existing top management level?"
Filim shook his head: "The sky is dead, Huang Tian is standing... I have long been tired of watching this kind of old-fashioned plot. What I want to do now is to give them all the things they dare to think but dare not do.
Just implement it.”
"Oh?" Zhang Yi was a little doubtful, and he asked tentatively: "Then what are you going to do next?"
Felim did not hide anything and said directly: "I am going to negotiate a deal with Chu Yunlan."
Chu Yunlan?!
Zhang Yi was shocked and thought to himself: 'As soon as Hong Yan was established, he took the initiative to negotiate a deal with the leader of the annihilationists... What does this guy want to do?'
Seeing Zhang Yi's silence, Felim asked with a smile: "Are you surprised?"
Zhang Yi nodded: "To be honest...it's a bit surprising."
"Then you're not curious why I want to discuss a deal with Chu Yunlan? What kind of deal are you planning to discuss?" Felim asked.
Zhang Yi sneered and asked: "Then will you tell me if I ask? Why do I feel that there is no need for you to tell me?"
Filim glanced at Zhang Yi meaningfully and said: "You are right, I don't need to tell you, but since I have said what I am going to do next, I won't hide anything from you anymore.
Moreover... I originally planned for you to contact Chu Yunlan, so why didn't you tell me why I wanted to contact her?"
Zhang Yiyi frowned: "You actually want me to come into contact with the annihilators?"
Philim replied calmly: "Yes."
"Ha...Then you have chosen the wrong person. No matter what, I was once a member of the Arbiter. Even if I have been removed from the membership, it is impossible for me to negotiate a deal with my once biggest enemy. Moreover, you also
It's impossible to get the results you want." Zhang Yi made his attitude clear.
Philim sighed when he heard this.
He sighed inexplicably.
Zhang Yi frowned and said, "What? Do you think you chose the wrong person?"
Filim smiled and shook his head, then asked Zhang Yi: "Why did you join the Arbiter in the first place?"
Zhang Yi asked, "Why did you want to find me?"
Filim said frankly: "Because your identity is special enough, and I know that you have been hiding your strength, only you can bear this heavy responsibility."
Zhang Yi smiled: "Haha, it sounds like you know me very well."
Felim smiled slightly: "It's not too detailed, but it's basically very clear."
"Oh? Tell me."
Felim looked at Zhang Yi, his smile slowly faded and he said, "You really want me to say it."
Zhang Yi looked at Felim very calmly and said, "Say."
Filim no longer hesitated and said: "In 130, after Victory Day, the global population shrunk by nearly half, but few people cared about this issue, because for the survivors, the restoration of peace in the world was the greatest
It's a blessing, but only a few know how much it costs these half of the people."
As soon as Felim said something, Zhang Yi began to panic in his heart.
But he didn't show it.
"But it doesn't matter. It's a good thing for ordinary people that they don't know how high the cost is, not to mention what if they know... It won't help the development of the world in the future, but the problem is there. If it is not solved,
Human society will eventually go extinct sooner or later, and it has already begun to appear."
Zhang Yi didn't speak, but it didn't mean that he didn't understand what Ferim was talking about.
Zhang Yi actually knows everything that happened last year...especially the incident about the mysterious cube.
Although externally, the Supreme Academy of Sciences announced that it was a failed experiment, Zhang Yi knew it well... because he had been tracking the connection between the "mysterious cube" and the free people a few years ago.
"In fact, we had many opportunities to make up for it a long time ago, but... there has always been an irreconcilable contradiction between people's pursuit of progress and their pursuit of happiness. If we cannot give people happiness, there is no way to talk about social progress, and social progress always requires
Sufficient resources and people's efforts, once the balance here is not stable, it can easily cause social unrest... Therefore, management has always focused on system construction as the primary goal... However, the reality is that there is no absolutely perfect system.
There is no way to talk about a breakthrough in the maximum load capacity of human civilization... To put it bluntly, there is no way
To make progress is to wait for death, but to make progress is very likely to accelerate the situation of destruction." Felim's words are thought-provoking.
Zhang Yi originally thought that Philim would say some extreme things, but he didn't expect that he would have such an opinion.
But so what.
Zhang Yidao: "You see it very clearly."
"Thorough... So what? Throughout the ages, so many saints and sages have failed to solve the problems. I just sigh."
Zhang Yi heard this but asked: "Since you know you can only sigh, why do you make all these efforts?"
Philim replied: "Because I believe everything depends on man."
"What if there is no result?"
"Haha... I didn't think about it that much. Besides, many things may not have results, but no results don't mean we don't have to do them. There is still a big difference."
Zhang Yi understood, and he asked again: "Then continue. You have been talking for a long time, but you don't seem to have mentioned anything about me."
Felim smiled faintly and continued: "In fact, your name was not originally Zhang Yi, but should be a series of numbers. Am I right?"
Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows and did not deny it: "Yes, I was indeed not born through normal human reproduction, but this is nothing new, right?"
"Indeed, both the previous Turaya and the current pseudo-biological reproduction technology are copying human reproduction methods to create new human beings. As one of them, there is indeed nothing novel about you." Filim's tone was calm.
, but he paused and then said: "But the source of your intelligence sample is different, even unique!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Yi's seriousness shone with a cold light.
Firim's back was turned to Zhang Yi at this time. As long as Zhang Yi wanted, he could tear the man in front of him to pieces at any time.
But he didn't do that. He knew very well that if the other party dared to say it, he would have the confidence and confidence to say it. If he couldn't keep calm with just such a sentence, then Zhang Yi would be too hopeless.
"Unique? Oh, what you are saying is, which person born through the reproduction of simulated organisms is not unique? This is the technical achievement of the Supreme Academy of Sciences. You shouldn't doubt that they just copied Turaya crudely, right?" Zhang
There was sarcasm in Yi's words.
After hearing this, Filim was not unhappy at all, but explained: "I did not question the meaning of the Supreme Academy of Sciences, nor did I think there was any connection between this technology and Turaya. After all, one is creation and the other is restoration.
moment, this is different in itself, but... Although the newborns born based on the intelligence samples of both parents seem to perfectly restore the variable individuals created by genetic genes, in the final analysis, they are still far from 11=1, but
You are different!"
Zhang Yiyi frowned: "What 11=1?"
Philim didn't explain much and just said: "That is not important. What is important is who the intelligence sample that created you came from."
The topic reached a critical point, and the cold light in Zhang Yi's eyes had already turned sharp.
Philim saw it clearly, but he remained calm.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Zhang Yi asked.
Felim nodded: "I understand very well."
"Then you also know the consequences of saying these words?"
Felim nodded: "Yeah."
"But you still have to say it?"
"uncertain."
"uncertain?"
"Yes, if we know each other well, there is no need to speak so thoroughly, but if you are still pretending to be confused, then I must make it clear."
Zhang Yi looked at Felim and said, "Who are you?"
Felim also looked at Zhang Yi, he smiled slightly and said: "I am just an ordinary person who does not accept his fate."
"Can ordinary people know my identity?"
"It's impossible for ordinary people to know."
"Then how did you know?"
"A small accident, or rather... it has its own destiny."
"Ha... you have said everything. You were the one who just said that man can conquer heaven, and you are also the one who said that there is destiny in the world. You are such a strange person."
"Haha, this is called 'moderation', there are no absolutes."
"Um... Okay, then just tell me, what other secrets do you know about me?" Zhang Yi was already ready to take action after saying this.
But Philim just smiled and said nothing.
"talk?"
Philim shook his head: "Forget it, if you really don't want to do it, then forget it." With that, Philim turned around and left.
Zhang Yi stopped him and said, "I didn't say that."
Felim looked at Zhang Yi and said: "But you have too many doubts in your heart. This is not the result I expected."
Zhang Yi laughed when he heard this: "What you said is really interesting. If you didn't pretend to be weird with me at the beginning, how could I have such a problem?"
Philim: "No one is pretending, including Wang Fugui. We are all our truest selves. Every word we say and everything we do is an expression of our true meaning."
"Oh? Then... why can't I see your purpose more and more clearly?"
Philim said: "Because you are pretending to be confused."
"Am I pretending to be confused?"
"Yes, you clearly knew that the 'Mysterious Cube' was eating away at the entire world, but you pretended not to know anything about it. You knew Lilin's true identity, but you still kept her by your side. Even...you knew that you were very familiar with Nie Renhuan, but you pretended not to know anything about it.
"I don't know Tsukuru... Tell me, who is pretending to be confused?" Felim made it clear.
After Zhang Yi heard this, murderous intent loomed in his eyes.
