[Brief description: Various loans of 32,000 euros, divorced, son 9 years old, traveling in Berlin. 】
[Recent status: After declaring a typhoon emergency, ADL Company invoked the mandatory overtime clause, and the average daily working hours until the day of death was 17 hours]
[Psychological condition analysis:]
[August status: stable (fatigue value is in the normal range);]
[September 1st to 8th: The internal environment disorder reached the threshold, and 3 abnormal dizziness occurred, resulting in substandard work quality, and the ADL attendance system automatically deducted 400 euros from salary]
[September 9: Extremely depressed and angry, suspected triggering event: discussing with co-workers that the recent work requirements were unreasonable, and complaining to the company about wage deductions. 】
[Encountered ridicule by co-workers, the key statement is recorded: "You old man, it's great if you have a job. Isn't the deduction of wages because you don't do your job up to standard?"]
["If we don't do it well, we will all be blown away by the typhoon. Now is the time of life and death!"]
["Don't be petty. We are hard-working Europeans, not those lazy and stupid Night City people."]
[September 10th to 21st: I fell unconscious at work many times. The supervisory robot invoked the mandatory overtime clause to initiate first aid measures and injected stimulants and various drugs (deduction of 300 euros, note: severe mood swings occurred)]
[September 22: Severe mood swings occurred while browsing the Internet, and two capillaries in the brain were bleeding. Key sentence records:]
["Isn't it natural for you to have your wages deducted if you don't do a good job? The environment is so bad now. It's good to have a job. I'd like to ask if there are any factories where the average daily working hours do not exceed 14 hours. It's best to have odd days off."]
["Your factory is so conscientious, brother. For the 400 euro medicine, I gave you a 100 euro extra."]
[September 23: Called my son, his condition is stable]
[September 24th to 29th: Stable, with three mood swings slightly exceeding the safety threshold. 】
[September 30: A quarrel broke out with company management and a mental illness broke out. 】
【Read detailed files.】
Seeing this information, Elliot was completely stunned.
This information is so detailed, just looking at the summarized key information report, it feels like it has been monitored 24 hours a day.
What's even more outrageous is that this data also contains information that can be queried down to every second. The chip is also equipped with a very smart query tool that can filter according to various tags such as status changes, whether to speak, whether to sleep, and so on.
Severns, on the other hand, was very calm. If he had to say it, he was surprised that the Internet Monitoring was willing to help them.
Elliot looked confused: "They. They all know?"
"What's wrong? Worried about privacy leaks? Don't be stupid, our privacy is worth a lot of money, and we don't engage in illegal activities."
These are the words Elliott uses to argue with others online, mainly those who think Europe's barriers violate privacy.
Of course that was not what he was confused about.
"no."
"You said that accurate monitoring of physiological conditions makes you shy? This service is not cheap for companies that provide prosthetic system services——
Even retrieving data after death is not cheap, so it is considered free for us. "
All services in this world have a price, which naturally includes comprehensive monitoring of physiological conditions.
There is also a low-end version for poor people: the physiological conditions are saved in the memory in the form of "video" and become readable after death, so that the forensic doctor or one's mercenary companions can know how one died.
but
That's still not the point.
The point is that network surveillance knows everything. Doesn’t that mean that the European Community also knows everything?
The European Community knows that there are cyberpsychotics in the factory, knows the key points before their onset, knows what stimulates them, what makes them crazy
They just don't ask.
With the help of network surveillance, their evidence chain for accusing ADL of causing cyberpsychosis will only become more complete.
But does this really make sense? In other words, what's the point of him doing this?
Elliott behaved very innocently in some places: for example, after experiencing the victory at Folkestone, he really had an illusion. This illusion told him that the European Community was really deceived by the company, and that the cyberpsychosis incident was really true. Suppressed by those unscrupulous companies.
Now, no matter how slow Elliot is, he can discover the truth: the EC has always known where cyberpsychosis exists, and can even know exactly when it happened from such reports.
Elliot looked at Severns blankly, and his slow expression recognition ability seemed to have improved a little:
He saw a hint of a sneer on Severns' indifferent expression. The sneer was so well hidden that Elliot felt that if it weren't for this situation, he would never have noticed that Severns was sneering.
At this moment, Elliot felt that as a worker, he was not as resentful about what happened to workers, about workers being exploited by companies, and about the inaction of the European Community as a political officer like Severs.
He used to think that government officials were just a bunch of people who went to work, drank tea, and went on business trips to show off. He was envious of them. It should be said that he was jealous of them. He was jealous that they could enjoy a good life without doing anything.
But now this concept has suddenly faded.
Severns patted Elliot on the shoulder: "We have to keep working. Without us, the cyberpsychosis incident would never have been made public. This is meaningful."
[Lille: He is right. At least from the fact that without these efforts, these workers will only be recorded as crazy murderers in the end, and their families can only be the families of criminals. They will never have the opportunity to become government officials or enter the company's management. ]
[Elliot: Brother, do you also think that government officials or company dogs are the best jobs? ]
[Lille: No, it's just that the positions that enjoy the most labor results are closed to them because of this kind of thing. ]
[Lille: And obviously, this is not fair. ]
[Elliot: But you said not to pursue fairness.]
[Lille: Haha, I have a good memory. Let me put it another way-]
[Lille: This makes me look very unhappy, so if I have the opportunity, I will definitely change this kind of thing. ]
[Lille: If I need help from others, if others need fairness, I will say it is unfair; if others need justice, I will say it is unjust. ]
[Lille: You have learned well, now enter the next stage: stop complaining, and then focus all your attention on what you want to do and what you should do. ]
[Lille: It just so happens that it takes a little time to set up the server in Bruges, and we also need time to plan the next trip. You can go to this cyber psychiatrist's home later. ]
Eliot nodded silently. His mind was blank just now, but after Lille said this, he found that he really wanted to see John's family.
He looked at Sevens and nodded: "I want to see John's family."
Sevens was stunned for a moment, but soon he nodded.
The phantom next to him jumped up from the sofa:
"I'll go drive."
