Overturned Tower

——Almost all the others lost control and degenerated into demons.

Such things as power are not enough anyway.After trying "unconventional strength" once, I couldn't stop again.That's why when the inferior first introduced Delphinium's psychic powers to Russell, her reaction was so intense.

Of course, this can also be explained from another angle-it is because of the assistance of delphiniums that they will not die or fall when they encounter danger.They relied on delphiniums to continue their lives... and became complete demons and prisoners of Tianen Group, providing the company with a steady stream of psionic chips.

Like a two-legged sheep that provides wool and is raised in captivity.

Delphinium actually thinks in her heart that even degenerating into a demon is better than death.

This is a selfish thought.

For most of those involved, death is no different from the Fall.

Their original personalities have been wiped out, they are also counted as dead in society, and their relatives will never see them again-at that time, in the news, the fate of demons was always "annihilated".

Knowing that demons are actually imprisoned alive is only a very small number.

But it's actually different for delphiniums alone.

Because she has authority, she can call the monitoring of the reconstruction agency at any time, and take a look at the faces of her former friends.You can also initiate a remote call or video to them, listen to the voice of the other party, and chat with friends.As she works at her desk every day, she occasionally catches up with old friends from the past.

Even if she knew in her heart that these people were actually dead, she still wanted to deceive herself.

Delphinium stubbornly believes that as long as he remembers their faces and names and acts as if they are still alive, they are not completely dead.

If the delphinium, which is always rational, has done something irrational.The secret, then, is that part of her that is irrational—one might even call it capricious.

Because of this, the rational countermeasure of "ordering the execution of the devil" became an unacceptable move for Delphinium.

If Delphinium did not accept that their degeneration into demons was a form of death, then this act would be tantamount to killing all her friends; Behavior, it's like turning a friend into a digital pet.

In any case, as long as those people break through the reconstruction mechanism, these demons will still be killed, and more people will die tragically on the spot in the process; but if you want to stop them firmly, you must "protect the company" Property" this stupid reason, and kill those living residents.

This plunges Delphinium into a kind of moral paradox.

——There are four choices, none of which she can fully accept.

No matter how she chooses, she has already fallen into a place of injustice.And if she does nothing, things will only get worse.

She knew she was struggling with something meaningless.But she still can't make up her mind just yet.

"...Let's leave it to Ah Zhan to decide."

Delphinium sighed deeply, and decided to give up thinking: "Let's see what he thinks first."

But at this moment, Wuming calmly reminded: "Minister Zhan dare not go against your will. If you leave this kind of matter to him to decide, he will only look at you hesitantly.

"—Do you want to be the superior who kicks the ball? I don't think there are many people who care about the life and death of those demons except you. After all, they are essentially the company's property...Those who attack the reconstruction organization People, rather than wanting to free the demons, want to cause the company to cause property damage."

"Ignorance..."

Although he was the one who brought up this topic, there was some hesitation on the horn's face.

He tried to tug on the cuffs of ignorance.

But after the pitch-black snake coiled up high, it spat out merciless venom: "In the final analysis, the Fuji Society is an organization gathered with the guarantee of someone's personal charm. If you lose Ultramarine With the Godfather, how long can people unite under the slogan 'help each other'?

"There are already many people who have rebelled with their connections. Although there are still people who are still working for others in the Fuji Society sincerely, they are no longer the mainstream. Because no one can stand up again and hold that a flag to bring people together."

"Hey, ignorance..."

Ignoring the movement of the horn, his ignorant dark eyes were filled with a cold and rational color: "Ms. Delphinium, I think you know what I mean. Before you and Miss Bingshui returned, the head of the stack stood up—he Can't do anything, so incompetent that he's like a shell. But he's still willing to take the risk.

"Under the current situation, I think he may be more suitable as a banner. Do you understand what I mean?"

"...No need to say any more, I know."

Delphinium suddenly interrupted Wuming: "You are right."

Wuming closed his mouth and looked at Delphinium calmly.

After the silence, Delphinium exhaled lightly, as if spitting out something in her heart.

She opened her mouth and said seriously and slowly: "My lover, the father of the child...he is sacrificing himself for the sake of the world. Although it is only an illusion, I can vaguely sense that he is still alive and still alive. Doing our best for the future.

"I still can't give up the past for the future. But I can give up myself for someone more important."

Compared with A Zhan, who is still very immature now, but can become a banner for people in the future, the name "delphinium" can still play some role today.

As Wuming said, Ah Zhan is more suitable as a banner.

This is not to favor A Zhan...Because as a banner, it must be watched and attacked by people.

Ignorance is precisely protecting the delphinium—he hopes that the delphinium will see everything, realize that she is now a fragile pregnant woman, unable to stand out at this dangerous threshold.She should completely hand over all the power to Ah Zhan, instead of standing in the executive department's studio and influencing his opinions like a queen mother.

This is good.Whether it's from a friend's point of view or from a colleague's point of view.

However, Delphinium chose to refuse.

The bottom of her pupils ignited a deep blue fire——

"If people think there is something wrong in the future, then everything is my fault - the living people are the most important.

"Paradise bird, inform A Zhan. I will temporarily take over the special execution department now."

"Ah... yes!"

Paradise Bird responded.

There was a look of surprise on her face.

But Delphinium's orders did not stop.

"Notify the Executive Department to lift the weapons ban. From now on, at all costs, guard the reconstruction agency for two hours."

"Then notify Peter Pan, order in my name. Execute all demons within two hours."

Executing the devil means making an enemy of the board of directors; ordering to open fire on civilians is an indelible stigma.

But because this decision is correct and rational, from the standpoint of the decision maker, someone must eventually make it.

Although she said "see what Ah Zhan does", she actually knew that Ah Zhan would eventually make the same order as her.She was just subconsciously avoiding responsibility.

——Russell protected her very well.

She'd almost forgotten...that she wasn't just a girl, a hero's wife, a mother.

She is also a high-ranking psyker in contact with Leviathan's wall - the real authority of the Special Executive Department.

Now Delphinium chooses to bear the price for the future Ah Zhan.

With words, she will kill that delphinium loved by people and imagined by people...kill that immature and self-willed old self, kill that quiet girl who is bound by morality.

Compared with maintaining one's innocent and popular "name", what is more important is to effectively protect the "fruit" of the people.

That is true love.

At this moment, delphinium suddenly understood.

The person who should really take the poison called "lethal dose of love" and pay the price - from the beginning to the end, should be the one who chooses the "path of love" with his own awareness.

——If you are not willing to pay the price yourself, how can you truly love?

There was only a crackling sound, and the demon that appeared behind her at some point was crawling all over the cracks.

Then, with the pure white brilliance blooming from the inside——suddenly cracked!

Chapter 36 The Conspiracy of the Church

"Now, are you satisfied?"

Horn crossed his arms and glanced at the ignorance beside him.

Wuming sighed in satisfaction, lowered his head slightly, and closed his eyes again.

"Well, that's fine. Now that her psychic power has achieved the final breakthrough, she must have really figured it out. Self-deceiving words can fool herself, but she can't fool her psychic power."

People's trust in the company has completely collapsed, the dragons are preparing to intervene in the world, the "consensus" established by conventions has been completely abandoned, and even the Cyber ​​Church is ready to seize power.Chaos is coming, and no one can stop it...or rather, it has already arrived.

If the situation has developed to the point where it is now, and there is not enough awareness to face it, it is best to withdraw from the increasingly intensified struggle as soon as possible.

Compared with "talent", the "determination" that can persist to the end even in the gradually turning world is a more important quality.

"I don't know how to deceive myself..."

After delivering all the delphinium's notices, Paradise Bird heaved a sigh of relief.

She raised her head and looked at Delphinium with some worry: "I'm just worried that sister Delphinium's spiritual power will be fully awakened, whether it will hurt the child, and whether she will hurt herself..."

Birds of Paradise don't understand things like ideals, resolutions, and flags. Those things are too complicated.

She only cares about those she loves, and those who love her.For example, is there any danger on Russell's side, or is Delphinium's side too tired.

Wuming sighed: "I can't help it, but the situation in front of me is not impressive.

"You still don't understand? Then let me explain more clearly——

"In the near future, the rulers of this world will no longer be the 'Big Seven'. The old order based on wealth, consensus and corporate law will completely withdraw from the world stage."

"... Isn't that a good thing?"

Paradise Bird was a little puzzled: "The head office is decayed and depraved, which has caused so many tragedies. Shouldn't the fall of the Seven Giants be a good thing?"

"In fact, it's only going to get worse."

But the horn shook his head: "Because power cannot be absent forever. It's like what Miss Ale said... If power is not in the hands of those who should have it, those who shouldn't have it will have it Power. The absence of power is worse than its abuse."

He has always understood what Wuming wants to do, but he doesn't quite approve of him in terms of means.The horns have always believed that ignorance is too radical, and they have a more moderate strategy, which can slowly change people's ideas from top to bottom, and try to control the shock of social changes to the smallest extent.

For example, believe in the church.

From the point of view of the horn, the Cyber ​​Church is absolutely trustworthy.Because their ultimate goal - cyber immortality without flesh and blood, cannot be achieved at the current level of technology.Therefore, the church will not conflict with any organization in terms of interests.

It is precisely because any force must respect the church, and they will not directly conflict with the church, and the conflicts between these forces are much greater than the conflicts between them and the church.Therefore, the church can act as a powerful mediator, suppressing the transformation of the entire society.

Shouldn't these angels stand up at this time?

Rather than entering a battlefield like a meat grinder, fighting each other meaninglessly with one's own kind, and promoting social progress through one's own authority—this is exactly the future that Bugle hopes for.

"I still think we should trust the church."

The horn casually tapped the Paradise Bird's head, making a crisp sound.

But he didn't look at the bird of paradise, but stared at Wuming seriously: "This world cannot withstand a world war of that scale. It has become shaky, and people's rationality has long since reached its limit.

"If the world were engulfed in fire, I don't think a new civilization will rise from the fire - I think it would be a war that would destroy everyone. It would just go backwards, not new."

"I don't deny that."

Wuming didn't even look at the horn, he just closed his eyes, curled up into a ball and replied calmly: "I simply don't believe in the church.

"I will never trust them when they juice our sleeping brethren into a source of holy orders.

"Don't forget, Trumpet. From the very beginning, we are not affiliated with the church - the church can't make everyone an angel, and it's impossible to make angels without a god-falling device.

"To become an angel, the first thing we need is a different 'heart' for each of us, and this heart is determined by past life experiences and genes; the other part is the memories and corpses of previous saints .We are angels now, not a gift of the church, but a cooperation of perfect equality of personality between each other.

"We became angels, not to gain power, let alone to become masters. We all wanted to end the disaster and end the war that made everyone suffer, so we accepted the war that did not go through security. Verified god drop experiment.

"And after we became angels, we also took risks and paid the price of our lives to fight on the front line. We never owed the church anything.

"——In this case, what right does the church have to treat us as their property, subordinates and tools, freeze them at will, unseal them at will, slaughter them and sell them, or deploy them to work?"

Wuming's tone was cold and calm.His tone was not angry, nor was his emotion intense.

But the horn can only remain silent, speechless.Because he is not a businessman or a politician, he cannot speak nonsense with his eyes open.It is precisely because what Wuming said is the truth that he can't say anything.

"--Wait a moment!"

It was not long before the atmosphere became tense, and the delphinium hadn't woken up again.

Paradise Bird's expression suddenly changed: "Something happened at the Reengineering Agency!"

"how?"

Wuming stabbed lightly: "Has it become so useless over there that even a group of unarmed civilians can't defend it under the condition of loaded guns and live ammunition? It's only been less than 10 minutes now."

"...Maybe I really can't keep it."

Paradise Bird has a complex expression.

Wuming suddenly opened his eyes: "What?"

"Although I have notified Peter Pan just now, he has already begun to destroy the demons..."

Paradise Bird's expression became extremely complicated: "However, the angels have arrived.
