Chapter 3303 Trial of the Big Fool (One Hundred and Six)
Chapter 3303 The Trial of the Great Fool (One Hundred and Six)
At the same time (?), the capital of South Africa, Bretonia.
After Sherrichard came out of the secret tunnel dedicated to the President of South Africa, the redness and swelling on his eye circles had completely subsided.
...At least under the disguise of the holographic image, Bedivere couldn't see any redness or swelling.
"Are you okay?" The werewolf youth still refrained from saying such pitiful words. During the time he followed Sherrichard, he just remained silent.
"Well, where should we go next?" Sherrichard finally spoke.
"Go, go play?" This sudden statement caused a drop of sweat to break out on the forehead of the werewolf youth. He never expected that Sherrich Chad would still be in the mood to continue playing after experiencing so many things.
"Go and play, of course." The Snow Lion girl replied: "The [business] here has been done, let's go do some [private things]. This is still a date, isn't it? Under normal circumstances, men and women should go on a date.
What should we do? Go shopping? Eat? Watch a movie?"
"I think probably, I can do all of these." Bediville replied awkwardly.
Thinking of it, he had never done these things with Lianyin before. Ever since he left Great Britain seven years ago, Lianyin had been following him. They left Great Britain, left the glorious region of Western Europe, and went deep into the country.
Go to the snowfields of Western Siberia in the dawn region of Eastern Europe, and then live there.
That place should indeed be the territory of the werewolf tribe (Eskimo tribe), and there is nothing wrong with Bedivere returning to live in the abandoned territory of his tribe.
But in the end, what he did was wronged Lianyin, who just suffered as a girl with him in that kind of ice and snow.
...Well, it’s not actually suffering. The Holy Spirit [The Cabin in the Forest] has always been with Bedivere, and he can set up his own comfort zone anywhere in the ice and snow. The house creates a comfortable and warm place.
The world has an almost unlimited supply of water, food, and even some simple clothing and other materials, and it can also change it.
Despite this, Bediwell still felt that he had wronged his wife Lianyin. It seemed that they had never dated like they did today, enjoying shopping, eating, watching movies in the big city... and so on. He made love to her
The most romantic thing in his life was just fishing in the ice and snow, with his woman clinging to his side. Speaking of which, it wasn't even romantic at all. Sometimes Bedivere felt that he was a really bad husband.
And Lianyin is no longer here.
He is dating another woman now, who may become an equally important woman in his life. Sherry Chad.
So...is this the first real date in his life?
He didn't feel betrayed by Lianyin. He just felt regretful that he couldn't have a good date with Lianyin when she was still alive. But she was dead, so he didn't feel that he had betrayed his love for her.
"By the way, before you go on a date, turn on the button of the holographic collar around your neck." Sherrichard interrupted Bedivere's meditation, as if she knew that Bedivere might be thoughtful for a long time.
"Um...this?" The werewolf youth quickly fumbled for the button Sherrichard mentioned. He pressed it without thinking. After pressing the button, he asked: "What is this?"
"The forbidden word detection jamming system." Sherrichard replied in a low voice, and she also pressed the button of the collar around her neck.
Bedivere was stunned for a moment: "...Huh?"
"You have to know that in Breton, South Africa, everything is managed by a highly automated system. A high degree of management also means a high degree of surveillance. All the machines here are the eyes and ears of the government."
Bedivere frowned. When she said that word just now, did the collar around her neck make a sound? The "beep" sound cleverly blocked half of the words she said.
He originally thought that the holographic collar only used holographic images to disguise their faces as human beings. But he did not expect that the collar also had this "interference function". The collar was simultaneously recording every word they said, and the words were
Those seemingly sensitive words have been "coded".
With the interference of this collar, the automated systems in the city of Breton should not be able to easily identify the forbidden words they spoke.
"...Is that the so-called banned word just now?" Bediwell asked in confusion: "How come government (beep) government has become a banned word? People in this country are not even allowed to talk about their government (beep) government."
?"
His guess was correct because when he said the word himself, the collar around his neck also beeped. He said it twice, and the collar beeped twice.
"Wow. That's outrageous." The werewolf young man groaned.
"It's actually not a big problem for us to say these words in a hidden position, because it will generally not be caught by the management system. But considering that we are going to go shopping in a crowded place, it is better to take preventive measures.
." Sherrichard replied: "I have the identity of a senior official, and I can actually speak freely. The system cannot do anything to me. But when you entered the country, your status was [foreign visitor], which is the same as the civilians of this country. This is
It would be bad to have such a banned word come out of your mouth and be caught by the public system..."
So this country allows high-ranking officials to say banned words, but does not allow civilians to say banned words. It is getting more and more outrageous. Bedivere wondered.
"Then why did you also activate the interference system on your own collar?" Bediwell asked.
"Because I want to maintain an equal status with you." Sherrichard said with a smile.
Bedivere heard the beeping sound coming from the collar when Sherichard spoke, and felt a sting on her nerves.
"Don't worry too much." Sherrichard replied, "Actually, it's fine if we speak and act in close proximity in crowded places."
"...Speaking of which, what would happen if we didn't have this interference system to protect us and we accidentally said forbidden words that we shouldn't say and were caught by the system?" Bedivere asked again.
"They implement a system similar to a deduction system for their citizens. Occasionally, if you say a few wrong words, you will not be punished. But if someone continuously says words that they should not say in a short period of time, they will be marked by the system.
Then this person will be blacklisted by the system. This will affect his official career and his priority in obtaining various social benefits. In serious cases, he may even be convicted of "disturbing public order" and directly become a political official (beep)
Punish the criminal and take him away."
"...You must be joking with me, right?" Bedivere suddenly became furious: "You are guilty of just saying a few wrong words in public? And you have to be arrested? What kind of messy law is this? (beep)
Law! Do people still have the freedom to speak (beep) freely?"
"But this is the law (beep) they made. In this country, they are the law, and whatever they say is what it is." Sherichard replied calmly, as if she had long been accustomed to the arrogance and unreasonableness of South Africa.
.
However, Bedivere still couldn't let go.
Isn't this... a kind of white terror?
They rely on terror and high-pressure rule to suppress the voices of their own people, silence the dissatisfied, and try to filter out all criticism, leaving only praise in the voice... or even pure silence.
This is whitewashing the peace and deceiving oneself and others.
Countries that do this will not go far.
When it does this, it already has half its foot in the coffin.
However, Bediwell looked at Sherichard again. At this time, she still had a vague and cold smile on her face. Maybe Sherichard didn't care at all. The crazier this country is, the more it declines, and the closer it is to destruction.
, the Snow Lion girl is even happier.
She was gloating.
After all, she is not a citizen of the Republic of South Africa, a country that even robbed and destroyed her country. She is watching indifferently as this country, which she hates so much, kills itself, and she will never have the slightest sympathy for it.
Bedivere even vaguely felt that even if Sherichard did nothing, the country would eventually destroy itself. It was only a matter of time.
"By the way," the werewolf youth whispered: "The automated system that manages this city is SEELE, right?"
"Yes."
"And you just planted a lot of, um, bombs in SEELE's computer room, right?"
He could almost predict that the word was a forbidden word.
"Yes." Sherrichard replied coldly: "They will explode after we leave the city, and the entire system will be completely paralyzed."
"Then, what will happen to this city?" Bediwell asked: "A large-scale traffic accident? The city's functions are completely paralyzed, or something like that?"
"Nothing will happen. Well, maybe there may be a few traffic accidents in a short period of time, but the system has its own backup. The city will only lose control for a short period of time, and then it will immediately switch to the backup system.
Restore all management functions. The backup system is far less efficient than SEELE, but it can still barely maintain the normal operation of the city."
"But there may still be a few traffic accidents before the backup system goes online. Maybe someone will lose their life."
"I don't think this will happen. You will find that vehicles in the city are strictly monitored by the system, and the speed is kept below a safe standard. Traffic accidents may cause the occupants to suffer minor injuries, maybe moderate injuries, but absolutely no injuries."
It won’t cause death."
Bedivere remained skeptical, but he did not continue to ask questions because he could almost predict what Sherrichard would say next.
If someone dies in such an accident, it's their fault for relying too much on automated systems.
Drivers should be responsible for their own lives and the lives of others. They should put their hands on the steering wheel and bear the weight of that responsibility. If you leave all this to the automated system and then be betrayed by the system, you will bring it upon yourself.
.
People should control the system, and the system should assist people, not dominate.
Otherwise, what is the difference between people who are controlled by the system and who even have the power of life and death in the hands of the system, and domestic animals?
If they died in an accident caused by a system error, wouldn't they be just like livestock that were slaughtered due to "accidents"? How could they deserve any mercy?
Regarding this point, Bedivere even agreed with Sherichard, although she did not express her opinion.
"Let's put aside these heavy topics and go shopping." The Snow Lion girl urged: "As long as you pay attention to your words and deeds in public, there will be no problem. The worst we can do is talk less, right?"
"I don't know how the people of South Africa survived..." Bedivere muttered.
"Ha, they have adapted." Sherrichard said with a sarcastic smile: "Those who have not adapted are all dead or imprisoned, and the rest are naturally adaptors."
A group of people who only know how to accept the situation, blindly follow abnormal laws, and can't even raise a voice of opposition, are they ants?
The werewolf young man thought.
——They are almost like domestic animals living under the management of the system.
