Chapter 806 Coincidence
“You’re fired.”
The reality is that Elliot was fired from Eurotunnel.
No glorious commendation meeting, no salary increase, no promotion, nothing. Anyway, nothing, just a cold word.
You are fired.
The person who fired him had a stern face with sharp edges, three-dimensional features, and a tall figure. Even in a suit, people thought he was quite strong, strong and flexible, and he looked like he was exercising regularly.
Or maybe you have a lot of money and time to do body sculpting. In short, you look handsome.
His skin is fair and tender, and his ten fingers are slender and beautiful. It makes people wonder whether this man also knows how to play a musical instrument.
As one of the project managers of the Eurotunnel Company, Alvin is a perfect match for this office, in terms of temperament, appearance, and body.
But Elliot is different. He was stunned at the news. The contrast between his tattered clothes and the decorations in the room such as "safety production medals" and "advanced production workshops" was sharp and strong.
Even in terms of smell, the faint smell of synthetic aromatherapy in the room is distinguishable from the metal dust and burnt smell around Elliot.
The person sitting on the chair is an elite man in a black suit, and the person in front of the table , is a fat man with a gray head and a face.
It's like people from two worlds appear in this house at the same time.
Looking at the stunned Elliot, Alvin said meticulously: "The battle between you and that cyberpsycho in the factory caused a lot of equipment damage. This month's production standards are completely unable to meet the standards."
“You have to know that Eurotunnel has a heavy social mission, which will interfere with the operation of cross-sea cables and logistics channels.
As the most important infrastructure company within the European Union, the normal operation of the company is directly related to the quality of life of citizens on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Therefore.
Your reckless actions have caused great trouble to the normal operation of the company and society. , the company is also having a headache how to deal with this matter. ”
But didn’t he stand up to save the people in the factory?
Isn’t he a hero? He saved the entire factory!
Alvin’s side Processing other information about the company, he continued: “You have to be aware that Eurotunnel has a heavy social mission, which interferes with the operation of cross-sea cables and logistics channels.
As the most important infrastructure company within the European Union, the normal operation of the company is directly related to the quality of life of citizens on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Therefore.
Your reckless actions have caused great trouble to the normal operation of the company and society. , the company is also having a headache how to deal with this matter.
But”
Ivan stood up, walked to Elliot, stood squarely in front of him, and patted him on the shoulder:
“ But I know that there is nothing you can do. I have already asked the company not to hold you accountable, and you do not need to deal with subsequent matters.
You worked 26 days this month, a total of 286 working hours. According to your work content, the total is 2133 euros. I hope it will be of some help to your life. ”
[Transfer: +2133 Euros]
[Account balance: 4231 Euros]
Bang.
Elliot was kicked out, I don’t know Is it the gap between reality and fantasy, or is it a physical blow? There is no strange AI in his head scolding him as a useless waste. There is peace. He just sits in the company's logistics truck, leaves the factory, and stands in the factory. In front of the door.
The factory looks like a fortress from the outside. Thick walls and gates separate the factory from the wasteland and quagmire outside. There is a lively atmosphere inside, and the dead land outside.
Elliot's head was in a mess. He was speechless because to a certain extent, he also recognized what Ivan said:
Yes, the Eurotunnel Company is related to both sides of the Taiwan Strait. environment!
The heroic and fearless behavior suddenly turned into a reckless move that interfered with the functioning of society. The place where he had worked for several years suddenly kicked him out.
He had worked hard for this job for a long time. Just got it.
Without a job, how will he survive?
Getting on the public cable car back to the residential area, Elliot swiped his work ID card for the last time.
Looking up, the TV is playing today’s news:
[A serious production accident occurred at Eurotunnel Company No. 2 Factory today. 】
【According to local production management department personnel, they are understanding the details of the accident with the relevant person in charge of the company. 】
[Confirmed information so far includes that the accident was mainly caused by employees using expired prosthetics and incorrectly operating machinery, causing economic losses of more than 3 million euros, and may have a certain impact on the operation of the British-French channel. 】[Communication consulting fees and basic logistics costs may rise in the future, and the companies and stock sectors affected include]
Elliot looked at the news on the TV, his head empty. Yeah, I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
【You have arrived at the station. Eurotunnel and the European Union thank you for your contribution to the company and society. I hope you have a good day. 】
Bang.
The door was closed and the car continued to run on the line according to the usual settings. Elliot also got out of the car as usual. These two points of life have become a kind of muscle memory.
Going to the elevator in the apartment, walking through the long passage, constantly passing by workers commuting to and from get off work, just like before.
No one paid attention to him, no one knew what he had just done What "earth-shaking" feat? There was no one until he was fired, and he was so calm that Elliot felt like he was dreaming
Back in the messy room, he felt that nothing had changed:
Did it just happen? Is everything really a dream?
The crazy cyberpsychosis, the burning factory, the workers fighting side by side, and... There are also three AIs from outside the wall, and the voices from Night City, everything seems to have never happened.
Crack.
Elliot sat down on the synthetic leather sofa for an unknown amount of time. When he began to feel uncomfortable with the silence, he habitually connected to the TV and computer.
[呲——]
[Lille: It seems that you have been fired. The European style is really not difficult to guess. 】
Elliot suddenly froze: Those were not dreams.
The man with silver arms appeared next to the projection window:
[Johnny: Welcome to the real world, in this world, the courage to burn life will become a bargaining chip in the hands of others, self-righteousness The feat of saving will be wiped out quietly, and if you are unlucky, it will most likely be twisted into something else. 】
【Johnny: I suggest you smoke a cigarette now, that thing is always relaxing. 】
In the air, a completely invisible floating car watched Elliot return to his apartment.
The words "Internet Monitoring" are printed on the car.
".Nothing unusual."
"Strange. How could this happen? All coincidences happened to this fat man?"
If Elliot could see inside the car situation, he will be surprised to find: there are two people in the car, both of whom he has seen.
It was the network surveillance agent who came to his house some time ago to inquire about the power outage.
Agent A: "First it was an unexpected circuit failure, then it was cyberpsychosis, and finally, this guy stopped the equipment in the factory."
Agent B: "The autopsy of cyberpsychosis came out, and the preliminary test is confirmed. There are no other abnormalities, and there is not even contact with the experimental subject."
Agent A: "That's it. Too much work pressure?"
Agent B: "Too much work pressure, coupled with the poor quality of the prosthetic body, plus he has no money to maintain the prosthetic body. The madman owes a lot of debt. This month, Eurotunnel If the production target is not up to standard, his salary may be deducted.”
Agent A: “So it’s really a coincidence?”
Agent B: "At present, it seems that it is all a coincidence."
The car was silent for a while, and Agent A suddenly said in surprise:
".An even more coincidence is coming, the European Union has An official wanted to contact him and he was asking me "
Agent B shrugged: "I guess, let's just fill in 'no risk of interference from foreign forces - including AI interference'"
"Tsk, coincidence. , call it a day.”
