Chapter 1262: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 63 (Part 1)
The sun is scorching hot and the wind and sand are strong.
Frye walked staggeringly in a desert. There was no time and no destination. There was only the sea of sand under his feet that would sink people into it, and the sun that was always diagonally overhead.
Thinking is like the wind that keeps blowing on the surface of the sand. The sand flows like water. Frye can only follow the breeze and keep moving forward. The breeze is like a pushing hand from behind, pushing gently and inadvertently. Fry stepped forward.
Sand and the scorching sun always complement each other, and Frye is like these gravels in the wind. He is walking in the hot and desolate desert without time and purpose. Frye can't remember how long it has been.
The only thing that still remains in his mind is that there is something else that Fry needs to complete. This is the only thing that supports him to continue on.
"I remember!"
Frye made a dry and heavy voice. He would keep repeating this sentence to remind himself that in fact, his thoughts had already drifted far away.
Frye only felt that the wind pushing him from behind seemed to be directional, and the consciousness like quicksand was pulling Frye towards a certain final destination.
There was some kind of voice calling Frye in the distance. There was no sound around, and Frye was wrapped in a sense of silence.
At this time Frye stopped and looked at the sea of sand below. He could not see his own shadow, but he could see another shadow.
"Are you still going to keep walking?"
Fry nodded. In this lonely world, the only solace was this woman's voice. Fry didn't know who she was, but she would talk to him from time to time. Women always wanted to stop Fry. Travel to distant places.
"Go back, go back to your own place."
Frye shook his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He just wanted to find that voice.
"Even if you find that voice, you'll eventually come back to where you started!"
Frye nodded and wanted to move forward, but felt pulled by an invisible hand.
"There's nothing ahead."
Frye shook his head and continued walking.
The sand grains all over the sky are slightly blown up in the wind, and eventually fall back into the sea of sand, becoming a drop in the ocean among the many gravels.
"People are always small and insignificant, but even this smallness and insignificance have the power to change the world, don't they!"
Frye smiled and continued to move forward. Everything about him no longer mattered. He just wanted to seek his own answer.
Some memories from the past began to revive again. From the moment Frye began to understand the world, he had strong doubts about the entire world, and even his own existence. He wanted to know what the world was like. What, what should I be in this world?
There were a few embers floating in the wind at this time, but the hand behind him still grabbed Frye. Frye did not look back, he knew that he had to move forward.
"If you don't move forward, there will be no answer!"
At this time, the voice changed. Frye exhaled a breath, which was a deep voice like an endless abyss. This voice seemed to suck people in.
The moment Fry raised his head, what he saw was a ruin, with charred earth beneath his feet, embers floating in the air, and many buildings Fry had never seen before, turning into dust in the flames.
Everything under the sky was very chaotic. In front of Frye, there was a black, shaking human figure like smoke. He had a pair of scarlet eyes. The figure, like black smoke, slowly floated in front of Frye.
"Countless lives are disappearing, and the disappearing lives, even the traces of their existence, will disappear in history. You found me!"
Frye looked at the guy in front of him. This guy's voice came directly from his mind, very clearly.
It was surrounded by charred wasteland, and traces of civilization could be seen. These things Fry had never seen before. Many geometric buildings, some tree-like buildings, and the skeletons of many unknown creatures could be seen everywhere. , and there are many humanoid creatures that appear to be able to walk upright and have large skeletons.
"This used to be a paradise, and everything was beautiful once, but life has disappeared!"
Frye nodded and naturally followed the human figure of flying smoke in front of him.
Many of the numerical symbols representing civilization were unknown to Fry, but strange pictures appeared in his mind, and these pictures were constantly intertwined.
The beginning of life, starting from a single cell, to multiple cells, cold and scorching sun, fire, thunder and lightning, wind.
Under the countless actions of nature, the world has changed from gray to colorful. The world that once seemed static has become more active. Many lives have been transformed from beginning to end in the face of nature's countless choices. , from the end to the beginning.
The whole process was like a huge, deep, unknowable and irreversible cycle. Unknowingly, Frye felt that his eyes were moistened and tears flowed down.
"Life will always appear and disappear inadvertently. In this long river of time, I have witnessed countless disappearing lives. I have tried countless times to find the meaning of life, but I failed. Still couldn’t find it.”
Everything in Frye's mind is still spinning. Countless galaxies, in the heroic evolution again and again, burst out the last brilliance of life. After the light dissipates, they will fall into darkness again.
No one can stop this, and there is no way to stop it. Everything is a natural choice, and it is no one's fault. After life passes away, it will leave traces, and in the long years, these traces will be erased by time.
At this time, Frye saw various forms of life in his mind. Frye had never seen so many forms of life.
Human beings are just a small type of life that has disappeared in the past, but they still exist.
"I have crossed countless galaxies and set foot on countless lands! I want to find the origin of those lives. Many of them have disappeared before I even have a chance to see them. I am here! In the end, life forms like you have also It will disappear in the near future.”
Frye looked at the guy in front of him blankly, not knowing what this guy was, but this guy knew everything, but Frye felt a trace of fear, because the feeling this guy gave Frye was extremely terrifying.
"I will eat everything, eat the best parts of life, and let it exist in my or our stomachs forever, in order to preserve the proof that life once existed, and in order to allow life to be in our bodies Keep it going!”
Fry couldn't quite understand, and he shook his head.
"Only you can hear it. I know your past and even your future, so everything about you has already been doomed. I was once trapped in a cage. It was you, a tiny living being, who liberated me. Of course! It's also because I eat I have lost my relationship as a nurturer, so now I am trapped on this planet, but in the end I will eat this planet, in order to let life exist in another form, in order to let the glory of these lives, no Will be annihilated by darkness!”
Frye looked at the guy in front of him with some fear. The embers in the air were slowly gathering together. The smoke-like guy in front of him gradually took shape. These fragments were constantly colliding. Frye's eyes widened in shock. Eye.
In the body of the guy in front of him, what Fry saw seemed to be the universe, with countless celestial bodies colliding and squeezing. The guy in front of him seemed to be the whole process itself. His body was being built bit by bit, and after countless fierce movements, In the collision of particles, they solidify little by little.
Finally, a human figure with an appearance like a rugged black rock surface stood in front of Frye. He had a geometric head, no cheeks, and only a pair of things that could be called eyes. There was no trace of emotion in the scarlet eyes. .
"I'm trapped! I'm trapped on this planet. I need your help, Fry Stan!"
Frye's eyes widened. There was an absolute and irresistible will in this voice, and his head nodded involuntarily.
"You! What exactly is it?"
The thing in front of him came to Frye little by little.
"It doesn't matter what I am! Remember, God is the enemy in the true sense! He is the enemy of life. I have witnessed countless worlds, countless civilizations, and countless eras. In the end, they all died because of God. These lives The anger, sadness and unwillingness of the passing time are enough for you! We will meet again in the future!"
In a daze, Frye felt that his body was a little light, and everything in front of him began to blur, in an empty and silent dark space.
Frye's consciousness began to sink. He felt that nothing was important and he was about to lose everything.
At this time, standing in front of Frye was a woman with glazed hair and a slight white light emitting from her whole body. Her whole body felt like the morning sun.
"I could have watched you die Fry! But Gene would be sad if you died!"
Frye's eyes widened, and a white hand pressed on Frye's cheek.
"Live well Fry, the future can be changed, everyone's future is like this! Once you give up everything, you will eventually become a grain of dust in the belly of the Devourer!"
The smell of disinfectant filled the room, and the wind blew the curtains gently.
Frye licked his dry lips. There was no consciousness in his whole body. Everything in front of him was blurry and shaking, the light was a little dim, and there was a familiar faint scent of tobacco in the air.
"are you awake!"
Gene looked at Frye with his eyes wide open. On the light and shadow screen next to him, Frye's brain waves began to fluctuate. Gene walked over and closed the window. He walked to the bedside and helped Frye cover his neck with the quilt. at.
Frye closed his eyes, but he still couldn't make a sound in his throat. His body had no feeling. He could move his fingers, but he couldn't feel any touch on his body.
"When you had the accident, they cut off your pain nerves. Although the feeling will come back in the future, it will not be the same as before."
Jean said and sat on the chair. It was just 5:13 in the afternoon, and today's hustle and bustle had not yet passed. Jean came to the headquarters of Section 4 after attending Freya's parliamentary faction's founding speech ceremony in the morning.
During this year, Gene would come over every day when he was free, and he would just sit quietly and watch one or two disappear, and then leave. But now Frye woke up, and he woke up inadvertently.
Gene was very happy in his heart, but he still smiled as always and was not overly excited.
In Jean's eyes, the student on the hospital bed in front of him had always been a taciturn student, and he was the student whom Jean felt most regretful about.
This student never asks for anything from others. Gene has known him since he was very young. He has always been grateful for everything the world has given him. He has not become disgusted or even disgusted because of the tragic encounters again and again. Hate everything and still be grateful.
"It's okay! It'll be good if you can wake up."
Gene said, holding up a finger, and helped Frye up, letting him lean on the cushion behind him. He took a glass of warm water directly from a distance, held it with his hand, and placed the cup on Frye's side. After he took a sip of water, his body began to tremble, and he kept wanting to nod and say thank you to the best of his ability.
"Be hungry!"
Gene smiled, put out the cigarette butt, rolled up his sleeves, turned and walked to the kitchen in a nearby ward, but after seeing Frye's worried look, Gene said with a smile.
"Over at Frye Mental Hospital, Huashen is permanently stationed there. The patients are fine and feel at ease."
The moment he stepped into the kitchen, Gene breathed a sigh of relief. To continue in this vegetative state was also a great torture for Fry himself. Tang Rao had talked to Gene many times.
It's just that Gene never thought about letting Fry go to that world more easily. Gene believed everything Ellie said, and the miracle really happened.
I took out some rice noodles and seasonings from the kitchen cabinet. These things had been placed for more than a year and were finally put to use. At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open and a bunch of people left. Coming in, Marcus excitedly looked at Frye who had woken up, and burst into tears for a while.
Students from Department 4 gathered around Fry and helped him check the detailed values of his body.
No one could have imagined that in such an exciting afternoon for the whole city, Frye would wake up.
"What's wrong Marcus!"
Gene asked. Standing at the door was Marcus, who was still wiping tears and shaking his head.
"What should I do, Principal Jean, what should I do."
Jean stopped what he was doing, and some students gathered at the door. They all hoped that Jean could say something.
The metal poisoning at the bottom of the South has been concealed. Some people suffered severe brain damage due to metal poisoning, some died, and some were sent to Frye Mental Hospital.
Everyone knows that the only way to keep this matter secret is to continue to conceal it. Although the safety of the water source has been ensured, many people who suffered from metal toxins in the contaminated water source in the past are still unaware, and many people seeking medical treatment have been informed. It is caused by a new type of virus. The drugs prescribed by doctors and the treatments used are all for metal poisoning.
In this incident, 231 people have died and 847 people have suffered serious damage to their physical functions.
"You have graduated! Aren't you?"
After Gene said something, he continued to knead the dough. Marcus' heart felt cold at this time, and he kept swallowing.
"Why are you always like this, principal! Is it possible?"
Someone pulled Marcus, and he tilted his head to control his emotions. Finally, Marcus turned around and walked out of the ward. Gene still didn't say anything because he didn't know what to do.
The city is going through an extremely difficult time. Last year's riots left everyone with lingering fears. The Angus family has been forced into a desperate situation. Once the Angus family collapses, more people will suffer from the economic consequences. misfortune.
The difficult question of choosing the majority and discarding the minority is eternal, so Gene has no answer.
The problems in the south are more serious. Only after construction begins can the economy of the south get better.
Marcus sat slumped quietly at the door of the ward, his hat put aside, and he pressed his forehead with one hand.
"What should I do, what should I do, what is the right thing to do!"
Near dusk, 5:45
After Mo Xiaolan came up from the underground interrogation room, he walked onto the lawn with a solemn expression.
The interrogation room was filled with key members of Eddie Financial who were not part of the family. All of them had been interrogated, and everything was under Plam's instructions.
It is true that many people have contacted some gang members at the bottom and provided them with funds to open casinos and loan sharks to create profits for Eddie Financial every year.
But now Aidi Finance still controls the money bags of 30% of the people in the city. Although these issues have been implicated due to the domestic violence that broke out within the family last year, Aidi Finance is still running, but only the relevant people They were all caught. After accepting all investigations, Plum returned to the family. Because of immunity, they could not catch Plum in Section 2.
What Mo Xiaolan was puzzled about was how Plum had been able to operate quietly for so many years. Everything seemed to be in line with common sense.
The gang members at the bottom wanted to make money, and Plum wanted to make Eddie Financial, which he was responsible for, more profitable, and the two sides hit it off.
Private loans and financial loans are allowed in the city, within a certain limit, because it is almost impossible to borrow money in 7 Branch. After experiencing the incident of businessmen who defaulted on their debts in the past, 7 Branch has The channel for borrowing has been almost closed. This is inevitable in order to prevent the city from accumulating debt and to stabilize the city's economy.
Large amounts of borrowing for a long period of time will cause the city to become deeply in debt. This is a point that two economic intelligence analysis experts have already given a clear analysis report.
If there is interest on the loan, the borrower has to bear the extra money to be repaid, but this is a vicious cycle for the city. The original volume of 100 yuan will eventually have to bear the volume of 101 yuan.
This risk is the risk of the entire city. Borrowing will destroy the balance of supply and demand. Therefore, after dealing with the incident of defaulting on debts, Section 7 set up some rules that ordinary people cannot borrow money at all, even if companies and companies find it difficult to borrow money.
The price of the city can be stable for ten years because the regulation of capital is very strong and the control is very strict.
Therefore, the law opened up private lending in order to ease the financial pressure in society, but this was used by people with ulterior motives. For qualified lending companies, there can be strong supervision, but for many personal receptions, the law cannot give a specific characterization.
What Mo Xiaolan is now doubting is the ability of Plum. Is he really capable of running all this well? Many people who are being interrogated now have said that it was Plum's instructions.
Although it is not ruled out that there are people who deliberately blame everything on Plumb, most of the interrogation was indeed directed by Plumb.
"Gene, that bastard, stood me up again."
Mo Xiaolan stamped her feet in anger. Now Gene often takes her to investigate everywhere. Today, he was supposed to come at 5 o'clock, but he has not been seen until now. The reply she got when she called him was that he had something to do today.
Mo Xiaolan turned around and walked up to the second floor in anger, and directly and roughly pushed open the section chief's office. R was processing documents on the light and shadow screen.
"Section chief, I want to take a leave."
"Don't you take a leave every day?"
R looked at Mo Xiaolan, she walked quickly to the table and put her hands on the table.
"I want to take a leave, 7 days."
R raised his head.
"No."
"Then you can fire me, I quit."
R shook his head.
"No."
Mo Xiaolan sighed. He hadn't seen Alpha for a long time. Mo Xiaolan wanted to go find her. Her boyfriend Luo Wen was the same. He was very busy in the company.
"What are you doing recently?"
Mo Xiaolan asked. Recently, C was at the bottom and brought a large number of people from Section 2 over. No one knew what they were doing. K had not been seen for several months.
"Mo Xiaolan, you are just an ordinary clerk. You are not qualified to know."
Mo Xiaolan got angry for a while.
"Don't use your authority to pressure me. Tell me what you are doing?"
R put down the work at hand, stood up, and walked to Mo Xiaolan's side.
"I'll give you a week off. You can go back now."
Mo Xiaolan was instantly happy, but still looked at R suspiciously.
"Really not telling me? What are you doing?"
R shook his head.
"If you really want to know, work hard and be more sociable. I will give this position to you after I retire."
Mo Xiaolan immediately shook her head, turned around and ran away. She didn't want to continue working there at all. She stayed in Section 2 just to figure out the whole thing about the Hillman family. Unlike Alpha, she hated the current Operations Department.
Mo Xiaolan went downstairs quickly and got a travel permit from her boss, the director, before leaving in a depressed mood.
As soon as she left the house, Mo Xiaolan turned around and gave the middle finger to the closed door of Section 2 behind her.
The current practices of the Operations Department, under the leadership of Alpha, have become more and more oppressive. Even if this is for the good of the city, Mo Xiaolan is going to talk to Alpha this time. This concept of friends from childhood to adulthood is good in the eyes of many people, but in the eyes of Mo Xiaolan, it is too tight.
At this moment, Mo Xiaolan saw a take-off and landing aircraft coming towards this side. It was K and the others who had returned. For a moment, Mo Xiaolan wanted to turn back, but after thinking about it, she gave up. She ran with a brisk pace, intending to have a comfortable barbecue first.
Mo Xiaolan suddenly stopped and looked around, because she always felt like she was being watched by someone. She always had this feeling recently, but soon Mo Xiaolan saw the surveillance on the street.
While thinking, she shook her head helplessly. Surveillance is not just AI. Each district has a 5-person surveillance team. At least 3 people will always be in front of the surveillance screen in each district. As long as any suspicious place is found, the 5 members of the nearby patrol will be immediately asked to take action.
Nowadays, the control of the city has reached the point where ordinary people go out and do things every day, which will be clearly recorded in their personal information.
This is something that Mo Xiaolan can't accept. There is no privacy in the city. Mo Xiaolan only knew this when her former classmates teased her about some things when she and her boyfriend went shopping.
Mo Xiaolan is just an ordinary clerk in Section 2. Although he is a Level 3 official to the outside world, he is just an ordinary clerk to the inside.
Section 6 is currently working on digitizing every person in the city. All of this was revealed to me by Ke Ying after she got drunk one day, and Mo Xiaolan learned more details.
The daily behavior patterns and daily activities of people in these cities will be fully recorded by monitoring, and data analysis and processing will be carried out directly. AI will record everything and then continuously complete its own database.
This is a very scary thing in Mo Xiaolan's eyes. The city is becoming AI-based, or completely solidified. Mo Xiaolan has learned from the gods' step-by-step actions over the years that the gods want to drag the city into an era with clear levels and clear division of labor, as if it were a machine, a truly mechanized era, to determine the fate of all classes and what they can do in life.
Section 2 and Section 6 are the two most important sections of AI evolution. Mo Xiaolan has started to worry since he learned about these things.
The AI of Brilliant City has developed to a point that is infinitely close to 100% humanization. A series of networks such as transportation networks, communication networks, citizen networks, and company networks are actually under the control of AI, and Sections 2, 6, and 10 control AI.
AI has actually entered human life since the communication network decades ago, but all of this is implicit.
Many rumors in the world say that all of this is managed by a few gods, but in fact it is just a bunch of data symbols.
With the development of light and shadow technology, the paper in Brilliant City has basically disappeared, because what you do on the Internet can be known immediately by Section 2. Although it is claimed to be for saving resources and for greater convenience, it is actually for controlling everything.
Now the thing that Mo Xiaolan is most worried about is what he got out of Keying's mouth that night. Section 10 has developed a robot that can compete with real people, but because the cost is too high and the technical cost is also high, it has not been launched yet.
But now there is a plan to select an area and directly put the robots in, let them live in the human neighborhood, and then conduct various experiments.
"Maybe it has already started!"
