Chapter 2529 Nonsense
Gene followed Justin to a residence near the president's residence. After entering, Justin went to make tea first. This was where he rested after work.
"Most stores have closed recently, so we have to make do with Mr. Jean."
Justin took out the biscuits he made, and Gene tasted one. The taste was indeed not very good, and the taste of the coffee was also average.
"Say it."
Gene put down the coffee and Justin hummed.
"I entered Yuko's world before and met you, Mr. Jean."
Gene became suspicious, and Justin began to briefly explain the situation. He went in to assist Tommy and their experiments.
"More than a century!"
Jean smiled easily. He probably understood what was going on. The memory of Winter City that did not exist in his mind turned out to be in Yuko's world.
Gene felt strange and asked.
"Then do you think the person you saw is really me?"
Justin nodded affirmatively.
"Yes Mr. Jean, that is you, whether it is words, actions, and feelings, that is another Mr. Jean."
Gene continued to ask Justin about some of the things he saw in the world over there. He now only has memories of those eight months and feels powerless.
Jean knew what happened in Winter City, but he didn't know what it was because Jean didn't have that memory. He only knew what he had done in Winter City by relying on Verla's dictation.
Especially regarding Tasia, Gene knew nothing.
"Why would you want to tell me?"
Gene was a little confused, because these things were considered confidential, and Justin lowered his head helplessly.
"What should I say? Mr. Jean, I want to talk to you. Maybe I need an answer."
Gene nodded.
"Are you questioning Tommy?"
Justin hummed.
"In the beginning, I was actually not satisfied with the president's actions because he completely crossed the moral and legal bottom line and did something that went against the bottom line of humanity."
Gene, of course knowing what Tommy had done, asked with a smile.
"This is inconsistent with the justice in your heart, isn't it?"
Justin sighed.
“If many things are not restricted by morality and law, then morality and law will lose the meaning of their existence.”
Gene nodded.
"It is true that what you think is correct, you don't need to doubt this, because you are a human being, and the human moral and legal system has been established step by step through countless tragic lessons. This is human It should have been obeyed.”
Justin said thank you.
"Those people do believe that they are above the law and morality. They have huge amounts of money in their hands, passing it on from generation to generation, enslaving others under their feet. But after they die, will everything really get better? Or Can they really be killed without going through morality and law?”
Facing Justin's question, Gene thought for a moment and said.
"This world has long been a world of the jungle, but after humans acquired morals and laws, they began to restrain themselves. After all, we are human beings, not beasts. We deal with problems that occur more rationally. This is what we humans do The meaning of social existence. But one thing is, if one day it is impossible to solve the problem with morality and law, humans will naturally only use force to solve the problem. "
Justin hummed. He had also thought about this problem, and finally came to the same conclusion as Gene.
"But this problem, if we put it in the past era of disorder, chaos, and information occlusion, it might be possible, but we humans have entered such a civilized society, and now everything has been broken and smashed. If humans still want to It will be difficult to enter a relatively fair society.”
Jean shook his head.
"This can only go so far."
As he spoke, Gene took out a cigarette and lit it, then handed one over. The smoke filled the air, and the two of them were speechless for a moment.
"Yeah, that's the end of it."
Justin smiled helplessly and continued.
"I actually don't have much hope for the future. Although the whole country is very good now, it is extremely depressing, maybe because there is no future."
After Justin finished speaking, Gene nodded.
"If you want to completely control mankind and maintain human society in a constant order, you can only cut off the future of mankind."
Gene stood up. He no longer planned to continue talking to Justin. He could see that Justin was both satisfied with the current situation, but not very satisfied at the same time.
"Is this all we can do, Mr. Jean?"
Jean nodded and drank the coffee and said.
"Mr. Justin, I don't think we will meet again in the future."
Justin was stunned.
"Mr. Jean, are you planning to leave?"
Gene hummed, then opened the door and left.
Justin sat down helplessly and could hear some faint mechanical sounds. He now hated this kind of life and this country. It wasn't that he felt that this model was inappropriate, but he just hated it.
Now the whole country is very depressed. Justin has already felt that the whole country seems to be gradually dying, the people have lost their vitality, and the future is very clear.
The final result is that everyone will become a screw. Once this tone is set, this country will have no future.
Justin clasped his hands together and smiled helplessly. At this time, accompanied by a touch of pink light, Tommy appeared in front of Justin. He stared at Justin with a serious expression and asked.
"Director Justin, why didn't you tell me about seeing Gene in the world over there?"
Tommy shook his head.
"Mr. President, I just think this kind of thing is insignificant."
Tommy's eyes were solemn, and he spoke.
"Director Justin, I don't want there to be a next time."
While speaking, Tommy had disappeared, and Justin looked blankly at the empty streets outside. Now many people don't go out, because there is no need to go out, and a large number of stores have closed.
Only the unmanned material stores in the community are open. People can go to the material stores to buy anything they need. Many industries are facing extinction, and there are few news reports because there is nothing worth reporting.
Some entertainment programs have also begun to stop broadcasting, because many people in the entertainment industry have directly withdrawn, and everyone has become unmotivated. Any industry is in a sharp decline, and people have become boring.
Everything now has made most people unable to feel the joy of being human. They seem to be free, but in fact everyone has been locked in a cage.
Recently, the crime rate in society is basically zero. At most, there are only some disputes. But once a dispute occurs, the PLC will arrive immediately. Now most PLCs are near the community. Many people have nothing to do all day except chatting. They even hope that something will happen.
What makes Justin feel most incredible is that the divorce rate has risen, and fewer and fewer people are getting married. There are almost no couples on the streets. This makes Justin feel unbelievable.
Everyone is assimilated by Tommy's system and becomes exactly the same. This process may not be a big deal for the next generation, because they will accept this system as soon as they are born, but the current generation is different. They have begun to despair.
Beep beep.
A call sounded, and Justin was puzzled. He picked up the phone.
"Mr. Director, please come over immediately."
"What's going on?"
The business on the phone was very noisy, and the subordinate said.
"Our building has been held hostage."
Justin was stunned, and a voice came at this time.
"Come here right now, or I'll blow everyone up."
Justin hummed.
"Sir, please don't get excited. If there's any problem, I'll come and solve it."
Justin picked up his clothes and went out quickly. Soon Justin came to the original WBI building. At this time, a large number of PLCs and fully armed soldiers had come outside. They had surrounded the building.
Justin soon learned about the situation. A chemistry doctor made a bomb and then held someone in a department hostage. The bomb was in the department. Through the monitoring probe, AI analysis and calculation, this bomb can blow up the entire building.
Such an attack was sudden. The doctor said he came to report some crimes and brought some evidence. The evidence looked ordinary, but when he entered the department, he announced that everyone was held hostage.
"This doctor wants to see you, Director Justin."
Justin nodded, and under the escort of some soldiers, he entered the building, and soon Justin came to the 14th floor.
At the door of a department, there were soldiers everywhere. Justin walked to the door and raised his hands. A man with white hair and beard was sitting in an office behind the door.
There was a bag on the table. The man's name was Rubens. He was a doctor of chemistry and had been retired for several years.
"Mr. Rubens, please don't get excited. I'm here. You can tell me anything you want to say."
Rubens' hands were shaking. He was holding something in his hand. It should be the switch to detonate the bomb, but it was not clear what function the remote control in Rubens' hand had to detonate the bomb.
The Ministry of Science had sent someone to analyze it. Justin walked in. He did it on purpose, or it was necessary.
"Don't come over, otherwise I will detonate the bomb immediately."
Justin nodded. Rubens looked very excited.
"Look at what you have done to this country?"
Justin nodded.
"Do you want to talk to Mr. President?"
Rubens shook his head.
"He is an out-and-out madman. He destroyed everything, completely destroyed everything."
Reubens shouted. At this time, a voice came from the corridor. Justin just looked over and Tommy was already walking over step by step.
Justin's face was solemn.
"Mr. President, you should talk to Mr. Rubens calmly and listen to his opinions."
Tommy stared at Justin and said.
"You are not needed here. Come out."
Tommy walked in. For a moment, all the soldiers were panicked, but soon the soldiers received orders from their superiors to evacuate all of them. A special force will come to deal with it.
"I'll come in to accompany you. How about letting others leave?"
Reubens looked at Tommy in astonishment. He nodded, and then the people in the office left one after another. Justin did not leave because he knew that nothing would happen.
Tommy came to the table and sat directly in front of the bomb.
"You are really a madman."
Justin walked over with a solemn face, and Tommy asked with a smile.
"Mr. Rubens, your behavior is too radical. If you want to say anything, just say it directly. I am listening."
"You have made this country become like this. You have taken away everyone's future. Now this world is meaningless. You madman, I know you must have used some special means to win this The country. Your approach has made us like zombies.”
Tommy smiled disapprovingly, then crossed his legs and asked.
"What about the past? You would rather be treated as slaves by those capitalists. Now you are no longer slaves, but are you not used to it?"
Rubens was extremely excited.
"Shut up, you lunatic, and give us back the country. We don't need such a mechanical society."
Tommy hummed, and just as he was about to get up, Justin came over and said.
"Mr. President, it's better to listen to Mr. Rubens first. He may have his own reasons."
Tommy said as he closed his eyes and stood up.
"The difficulty? This has nothing to do with the current world. Well, you can think about your wonderful life for the time being, and then accept death as soon as possible if you can't survive."
Justin looked at Tommy in astonishment. For a moment, Rubens let go of his hand excitedly, and light appeared, but the next second was the dark sea.
Tommy quietly stared at the flames bursting out from the light. Once the violent flames appeared on the dark sea, the flames suddenly stopped in an instant because of the lack of oxygen on the sea.
"it's over."
Tommy returned to the hijacked office, Justin's eyes were shocked, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Mr. President, is there no other way?"
Tommy shook his head.
"No, I have already seen this person's future. No matter what I say to him, he will not listen and will still detonate the bomb, so it is meaningless for such a person."
Justin clenched his fists. He could not imagine what it would be like at the last moment.
"But his design is quite interesting, the light signal bomb."
Justin looked at Tommy confused, and Tommy explained.
"He should have designed the function of light in the crystal in his hand, and this black explosive will undergo a chemical reaction and explode after being irradiated by a specific light. This design is quite good."
Justin looked at Tommy with some disappointment, he lowered his head and Tommy laughed.
"Director Justin, if you don't want to continue working, you can resign at any time, even today. I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore!" ()
