Hearing that this incident turned out to be related to criminal behavior, he immediately became interested.

"Well, wait until I finish notifying the others first."

Xiaoya from the Fuji Society of Yongquan Island is also obviously the kind of person who is quite happy to share gossip.

After she informed her colleagues in the relief agency company in other districts to disperse to look for traces of the inferior, she pulled the strangler to the row of plastic seats.

"Please sit down, Mr. Strangler. You must be tired after traveling all the way. Let us find your companion. Please take a rest and watch the game by the way."

Carefully and gently, she used her hands to sweep away the accumulated water on one of the seats for Hang, and wiped him again with a towel.

But even so, the strangulation still did not sit down.

"I'll just stand there," the majestic white lion nodded politely and distantly. "My companion is still in danger...I can't let him be assassinated while I sit here and rest peacefully."

When he said the word "companion", he couldn't help grinning.

...Calling that guy a companion makes Strangling somewhat disgusting.But without knowing the safety of the inferior, he really didn't have the leisure to sit down and rest.

But Xiaoya didn't care about the impoliteness of strangulation.

She just sat up from the chair, looked up at the hang, and said softly: "That happened three months ago..."

Three months ago, a strange incident occurred on Yongquan Island.

An executive from a branch of Shenzhi Heavy Industry was kidnapped by a strange man who called himself a "werewolf" on Yongquan Island, and the other party asked him to tell the "truth about the chip" in front of the camera.He hoped to get answers such as "The mind protection chip is a tool used by the Seven Giants to manipulate the human mind", or to know why everyone must install the chip, and why this chip can only be manufactured by Shenzhi Heavy Industry.

However, the executive did not answer even when he was tortured.

The senior executive was old and was only able to maintain his life with an artificial heart and artificial kidney.He tried to kill himself by shutting down his heart, but desperately found that his authority to control the heart prosthesis had been taken away.

But in the end, he was rescued by the Executive Department.And the person who kidnapped him also seemed to have received some kind of reminder beforehand, and left in a hurry before the execution department arrived.

Because none of the cameras caught him, it was as if he was invisible... This incident was once seen as the executive withholding details.It was not until a few days later that the video was posted on the Internet by an ordinary video anchor, that it finally caused a sensation.

However, after a detailed investigation by the executive department and the network security department of Yongquan Island, the anchor was not the perpetrator.It was the food video that he had already made two days ago and set a time to release regularly, and it was replaced by this torture video.

After testing by the Network Security Department, his account has not been logged in anywhere other than his home.Surveillance video near his home also showed no suspicious persons passing by.

But when this person was being closely monitored by the Executive Department, the executive who had been kidnapped before also requested to replace it with a new prosthetic heart because his heart was disturbed and manipulated.

However, before the operation was over, he suddenly opened his eyes while maintaining the external heart maintenance device, and killed the unsuspecting doctor and prosthetic doctor who were operating on him.Afterwards, due to too violent movements, he broke free from the life support device and died of heavy bleeding for a short time.

The nurse who saw this scene felt frightened and went crazy for a while.She went to the Cyber ​​Church to pray for several days before she gradually stabilized, replaced her medical prosthetic body and went back to work.

"But after that, another half month passed. 'Werewolf' appeared on the Internet again.

"He claimed this time that he had installed a virus on the latest batch of prosthetic bodies produced by Shenzhi Heavy Industry, and people infected with the virus would go crazy.

"At the same moment when the news was sent out, the nurse really went crazy. She killed the patient she was caring for without warning, and began to attack all the patients in the hospital ward indiscriminately - to everyone Make a knife."

"But it's in the hospital, so it's very convenient to rescue it. And the security force should not be weak."

Hanging raised an objection: "Those who were attacked, what happened in the end?"

"Mr. Strangled is really sharp."

Xiao Ya nodded submissively: "Before the arrival of the executive department, the hospital security controlled the nurses. Except for the patient who was attacked at the beginning, everyone else was fine. It's just that they were all frightened by it... …

"The nurse who can be captured claims that she has no memory of this incident at all. And the 'werewolf' announced that his next attack location will be the school. His appeal is that all newborns should stop implanting mind protection chips, Otherwise, he will continue to destroy like this.

"This time the company finally realized that the problem might be with those who had been attacked. So they put all the attacked people in the hospital under supervision.

"But this time there was a new 'werewolf'. The new attacker was born among the students, and he took an unsharpened ornamental iron knife and wounded five or sixty people. No one died.

"—However, from this time on... there have been 'copycat criminals'."

Xiaoya said in a deep voice: "There are students who pretend to be manipulated by 'werewolves', and thus kill their teachers or classmates; there are also others who imitate werewolves and issue the next 'crime notice'.

"From then on, things got out of hand."

Chapter 40 The Godfather and the Werewolf

Hearing this, Strangling is completely interested.

"It's really fun."

He narrowed his eyes and made a low and thick voice.

The corners of Hang Ling's mouth raised slightly, showing a happy expression: "This kind of panic that is constantly brewing in the crowd, the growing killing intent...isn't this an excellent excuse for the restless people to commit crimes?"

Of course he could understand the chaos this would cause.

But what to say...

——Anyway, he doesn't live on Yongquan Island, so of course he has a stand to watch the excitement.He hates those self-righteous ordinary people, and even more those high-ranking company dogs.

And this kind of chaos that is constantly fermenting among the people is often inflated by jealousy and hatred.The first to bear the brunt are those "elites" who are hated by people on weekdays, but others can do nothing about them.

Just because I am unable to retaliate, I send out videos and remotely control other people to eradicate enemies for myself.

If the "werewolf" appears on the Happy Island, then Stranding will immediately ask his subordinates to make a video to announce that the "werewolf" will murder the employees of Tianen Group next time!

At that time, whether you do it yourself or watch others do it, you will probably feel happy.

"Indeed."

Facing the sarcastic words of strangulation, Xiaoya could only sigh faintly: "It was also after that that Yongquan Island became chaotic.

"Because there are too many criminal notices claiming to be 'werewolves'. Even if the executive department keeps arresting and dispelling rumors, there will always be fish that slip through the net.

"Because of the large amount of mixed and false information, people can't immediately confirm what the real werewolf's announcement is...

"On the one hand, people refuse to take responsibility for being 'possessed by a werewolf', because anyone can be infected by a werewolf. So far, the rules for 'werewolf' infecting innocent people are still unclear, and it is possible for everyone to In the case of newborn "wolves", all hostility and targeting of werewolves may endanger their own interests in the future. Therefore, people refuse to regard those who are "suspected to be manipulated by werewolves to break the law" as guilty.

"But on the other hand, there are still people who take advantage of this fear, forging 'werewolf notices', or disguising themselves as 'people controlled by werewolves'.

"It is often only when it is announced that 'a certain werewolf announcement is a rumor' can the person who followed this announcement and came to commit a crime be arrested. In other words, if a certain announcement is true and true, it is indeed the original one' 'Werewolf' issued, that means, he did not actually send 'Werewolf'.

"But these ordinary people who are obviously not controlled by werewolves but still choose to help werewolves become werewolves controlled by him. His purpose has been achieved, and they will be exonerated."

Miss Mermaid lamented the depravity and malice conveyed on Yongquan Island: "Someone sees that his enemy happens to be within the range predicted by the werewolf, so he kills him directly, and then firmly claims that he has lost Memory is controlled by werewolves; there are also people who don't have any enemies or people who must be killed. They follow the "werewolf notice" on the Internet to commit crimes, hide themselves among the "wolfs", and through this means of exoneration.

"In fact, they just hope that they don't need to be responsible for killing people, or they simply enjoy the thrill of breaking their ordinary lives..."

"—But, I can't stop anymore."

Hang Hang shook his head, lowered his eyes with an almost compassionate attitude, and lamented hypocritically: "In the end, people have these malice in their hearts. It's just that they are all hidden, covered, and bound by other things.

"And the werewolf just induced the evil in their hearts and gave them the possibility of 'releasing their own self'. So people immediately degenerated.

"You said they pretended to be controlled by werewolves? How can you judge this? Or, is there an irreplaceable and inimitable sign whether they are controlled by werewolves?"

Strangled asked back.

Without waiting for Xiaoya to answer, he asked himself and answered: "The answer is, there is no difference.

"Whether they are controlled by the psychic power of the 'werewolf' or something, or manipulated by the legend of the 'werewolf' to commit a crime, there is no difference in essence. Even if they have not lost their memory, but they are doing it. At that moment, I have already become a 'werewolf' and put on a 'wolf skin'."

——It's really interesting.

Hang Ling had a strong interest in this matter.

In a sense, what the "Werewolf" does is no different from what the Godfather does.

The godfather taught by example and used his influence to implant trust in everyone's heart; on the contrary, the werewolf used his influence to implant distrust between people into everyone's heart.

Hatred and contradictions are often mutual.It's like the prisoner's dilemma.

Now it is only the first wave, the revenge of the weak against the strong.

And when people gradually become familiar with the "werewolf" and even adapt to the "werewolf rules", the strong will launch a counterattack.

They can also take advantage of the werewolf rule, and even control it.

As long as they don't "refute the rumors" to deny that a certain "werewolf announcement" is a rumor—or in other words, the Big Seven can even issue the "announcement letter" by themselves and do whatever they want.

If they see the teaser as "sent by the werewolf himself," then anyone who did the dirty work for it will be acquitted as well.In other words, they can thus remove the shackles of "power" imposed by the dragon.

——This is much simpler than cultivating "heroes".

Once the werewolf really became a consensus, a rule.Then it must be that those who have the right to speak and control the old rules are more likely to adapt to the new rules.

And this is even more similar to the "Fujishe Movement" initiated by the Godfather.

Anyone can be a member of the Society, and all members of the Society will help each other.That being the case, it would be a loss not to join the Fuji Society; and to join the Fuji Society, one must abide by the same hierarchical internal rules of the Fuji Society.

In this case, when the high-ranking company directors find out about it, and when they realize that eradicating the Cedars is next to impossible...they, as a matter of course, will integrate into the Cedars in the new system.

As for whether they are willing to obey the new order with the Godfather as the core, or choose to establish another core to snatch the Godfather's right to speak...it doesn't really matter.

Because at the root of it, they, the power holders, have all been absorbed and become members of the relief society.

At that time, the "company executives" who were originally hostile to these uncoded people will in turn become their allies.These uncoded people, as members of the Fuji Society, have become the "property", "allies" and "companions" of the Fuji Society's high-level executives.They cannot gain support from within the Relief Society by harming the uncoded or other low-level people.

Interests and positions have reached unity at this moment.Originally, the power that was completely unrestricted by public opinion as the Seven Giants suddenly needed the support of other members of the Fuji Society.

At that time, they will have the real "right to speak".

This is exactly the vision the Godfather had for them.

And this is no different from "Werewolf".

While the residents of Yongquan Island were still confused about this, Hang Hang had already understood what the "werewolf" wanted to do.

He also wants to shake this era just like the Godfather, using the new rules formed by the "people" who obey him to completely destroy the old order formed by the relationship between people.

However, that is not peace, but turmoil; not trust, but suspicion; not friendship, but betrayal...

——It is not to let the "loved people" survive as much as possible, but to let those "hated people" die first.

Chapter 41 The Strangled House

——That is the diametrically opposite path to that of the Godfather, but leads to the same goal.

He has a deep-seated hatred for the company, but he has no mercy for ordinary people.

Not the path of a "hero," but of a monarch.

"It's really fun."

Hang let out a low sigh of admiration.

If you want to say, what does this remind the strangulation... then the first thing he thinks of is undoubtedly the elf director code-named "Discordant" in the lower city, Tovatus.And his demagogic thinking called "the veil of ignorance."

From the moment he and Ale decided to support the Godfather, and the infighting downtown gradually became united, the "discordants" and the veil of ignorance he led gradually separated from them.

At that time, the godfather had not given them hope.

Although the uncoded people are clamoring to live on the ground and live in the sun... But in fact, they don't believe that they can really be accepted by the uptown and the company.

Because they are more or less self-aware.

Even if they are not discriminated against or persecuted, the reason why they can be reduced to the downtown area, lose their chips and identification codes and become uncoded is because they do not have the ability to climb up in the existing system—at least some of them Most of them are not "don't want" but "can't".

They are all eliminated.

Even if they only get "fair" treatment, it is nothing more than changing from an uncoded person to a low-level wage slave.

They must be treated more than fair-obviously "preferential treatment" in order to be able to get ahead in the upper city.

As a strangler who was born without a code, I know the thoughts of these codeless people very well.

At the end of the day, they don't really care much about whether they have access to the sun, live in a place with normal gravity or upside down.

They just want to live a better life.

However, those who are a little more sober know that no matter what organization they join, which leader they follow, whether they risk their lives to complete the task or get exercise, they cannot change this hopeless future—because they are indeed not accepted. those who need it.

Because of this, the Veil of Ignorance and Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation will become the largest organization in the lower city.

It's not that these uncoded people believe in the big pie drawn by the two leaders from the bottom of their hearts.It's because of a bad mentality of "it doesn't matter anyway", which makes them prefer to do some "better things".

Compared with the white lion group founded by strangling, which abides by rules, emphasizes discipline, and keeps a low profile, the veil of ignorance that kills people, sets fires, and induces explosions everywhere, and the unscrupulous eternal reincarnation of seizing personal self-interest by creating chaos, has nothing to do with it. The question is the "cooler" structure.

It's like the mentality of some players who don't care about the security of their own accounts or other people's game experience, and choose to hang up without hesitation- anyway, they don't feel that they can play this game anyway. No matter how long you play, you don't feel that you will interact with other players.If the account is blocked, they will quit the pit; even if the account is not blocked, they may quit the pit at any time.

For players who have no motivation to play at all—or, in other words, actually don’t want to play anymore, and just rely on inertia to barely maintain the game, all they are looking for is a reason to leave completely.

For example, account banning.

And the mentality of these uncoded people is actually similar to this situation.

They have no expectations for the future at all.
