Evening: 21:56
Berlin Area · Leipzig - Linden Street.
"Woo choke~Woo choke~Woo choke~"
The siren of the ambulance sounded like a sob. At this time, many first responders in white robes pulled up the lying frame and loaded the seriously injured victims into the ambulance. If the situation was critical, they could only be treated on the spot. first aid.
The old Hero Nimus was looking at the ruins of Linden Street with a sad face, and at this time a young man with blond hair and golden eyes took off his top hat and put it on his chest Before that, he came to Professor Nimus with a solemn expression.
"I'm sorry, it seems that my action was a step too late after all."
Professor Nimus shook his head.
"You have completed your mission very well. If you hadn't discovered the hidden point in advance, things would have become more troublesome later on."
Professor Nimus's vicissitudes of life was now full of deep fatigue.
"Abraham, can you answer me a question?"
"Say." The blond young man nodded.
“Did the Kingdom of Heaven give you an order?”
“···No.”
"As expected..."
Professor Nimus's figure became more and more stooped.
“Did [Section 13] tell you anything?”
“They need me to sign the “Information Blocking Regulations.”
“···Yes . You have completed the graduation task this time, and I still have something to deal with.”
Professor Nimus turned and walked out of the street on Bodhi Tree Street, while Xia Xiu looked at her back and remained silent. After Professor Nimus completely left his sight, he slowly walked into the dilapidated building. within the neighborhood.
At this time, most of the wounded and dead had been transported out, and the rioting structures had been cleared away. There were splatters of blood on the ground and the sizzling remains of the structures. Telling what kind of tragedy happened here just now.
"Hello, are you Mr. Abraham?" A young member of Section 13 stopped Xia Xiu.
"I am."
"Please sign the "Information Blocking Regulations" with us. At the same time, in view of your help to [13th Section] this time, our company will I will prepare a generous thank you gift for you," the young clerk said politely to Xia Xiu.
"Where's Wendel?" Xia Xiu asked the young clerk with narrowed golden eyes.
"Captain Wendell is dealing with some emergencies."
"Really..." A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of the blond young man's mouth.
“Take me to sign the ordinance.”
“Okay.”
·········
Thirteenth Section·Diversity Department Center.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used it, I let you down." [Cornflower·002] Lying flat in front of a special instrument, she took out the golden prosthesis from the storage of her right hand of [Memu Cleaning Agent].
Wendell took the cleaning agent from 002's hand and fell silent.
For 002 contaminated with unidentified mercury, [13th Section] will not carry out complicated procedures for memicide elimination.
Destroy her and directly use the new [Cornflower] for the previous position. This is the most cost-effective way.
“I would like to ask, is my “self-decision” only caused by the contamination of Meme in [Red Branch]?”
At this time, the instrument has begun to be destroyed by intracranial procedures. , and 002 asked expectantly.
“Neither [Asimov’s underlying laws] nor the think tank links in your mind are locked.”
“I’m sorry to tell you the cruel truth. Any possible violation of [ Thirteen Sections] or structures that generate self-logic, most will be directly obliterated.”
Wendell continued with a somewhat heavy tone:
"But the structures infected by the Mimo virus can escape the restriction of erasure. The Mimo virus is a terrifying existence that can even distort the rules of the world. Some are infected by the Mimo virus. The contaminated structure can indeed avoid the erasure of the genealogy while generating self-will."
"However, you have not generated self-will, because your underlying laws have not even shown signs of being locked. ·······"
Wendell looked at the expectant 002 and said slowly:
"You are simply contaminated by the Meme virus"
"Yeah..."
The corners of 002's eyes began to become heavy.
“I thought it was my own free will. Although it made me do something wrong, it was my own decision anyway...”
“It turns out No..."
After the 002 program was destroyed, she closed her eyes completely.
Other [Cornflower] constructs appeared. They zipped up the body bags expressionlessly, held the bags with both hands, lifted them up, and took their companions to the incinerator.
"Captain Wendell, you have been given new instructions from above. They need you to attend a meeting." A clerk walked to Wendell from the distant passage to report.
"What about the situation with the Hohenzollern family?"
"It said they will take care of it."
"Where is the angel from heaven?"< br>
"He left [Section Thirteen] after signing the regulations."
Wendell was silent for a moment, and then he continued to ask:
"Did he receive any reward?"
“No.”
“···, I understand, take me to the conference room.”
"Yes."
·········
This is the last time Xia Xiu sees Bryce, he is dying.
In the white room full of the smell of disinfectant alcohol, the young man who was supposed to be carefree was lying on the hospital bed full of lifelessness. There was a shocking hole in his right eye, and he The remaining left eye was lifeless.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"Brother, I'm about to die." Bryce just said this to Xia Xiu in a hollow tone.
The blond young man stood beside him silently.
All the organs on Bryce's body have been distorted by the large amount of EVE particle radiation field. If it had been an hour earlier, Xia Xiu would have been sure to use [Flesh Shaping Technique] to hang his life, but he Really late.
"Those...[Cornflowers] are really out of control." Bryce asked the blond young man in a hoarse voice.
The blond young man recalled the Meme virus he felt from the killed structures, and then replied to Bryce:
"Technically speaking, yes."
When such a big thing happens, the structures killed by [Section 13] will inevitably be retained, otherwise they will not be able to face the pressure of external public opinion.
"Really..." Bryce heard the voice of Xia Xiu's words.
"I should listen to you and leave the Berlin area as soon as possible..." A smile appeared on the corner of Bryce's mouth that was uglier than crying.
“But, this is my home, where can I go.”
"Many times I wonder, what would the world be like without the Curtain?"
"In terms of benefits alone, if everyone accepts abnormalities, various technologies under normal conditions will be several times more advanced than they are now."
“It’s strange, where does the concept of ‘abnormality’ come from?” “If there were no normality protection organizations such as Heavenly Kingdom and [Thirteen Sections], all mankind would have to come into contact with anomalies sooner or later, and then they would Take it for granted as we do now, and learn how to deal with it... It would be easier to keep it hidden than to let the world know about the anomaly."
"Clearing the anomaly and containing the anomaly are not about the world. Once you know it, you can’t do it, which even saves the manpower and material resources needed to deceive others.”
"If this practice of covering up the truth is really going to be seen in the long run, wouldn't it be very self-deceiving?"
Faced with Bryce's questioning, the blond young man remained silent.
As if Bryce had experienced the first flashback, he asked the other party in a breathless voice with a tired face:
"Brother, the curtain meeting Will it continue to exist?”
The blond young man stared at those extremely sad eyes.
"The curtain will eventually be torn apart, but not now."
"Yes...well..."
Bryce closed his tired eyes, The blond young man took off his hat and put it on his chest to mourn for the other party.
··········
Three days later.
Monument to the Victims of Linden Street.
Xia Xiu placed a handful of white chrysanthemums under the monument, and beside him stood Wendel in black casual clothes.
“Collective Memu pollution, [Section Thirteen] are really a bunch of rubbish!”
The blond young man smiled and said to Wendell beside him. The strange thing is that he is clearly smiling, but it gives people an unusually cold feeling.
"..., yes, a bunch of trash." Wendell lowered his head and muttered to himself.
"It seems that they didn't reveal too much information to their own people, and they didn't want to dirty their hands. Oh, I heard that you killed the president of the Hohenzollern Group. This should be the only thing that surprises you. "Yeah."
Facing the blond young man's ridicule, Wendell silently took out a cigarette. At this time, he didn't care about the taboo of smoking in front of a dead person.
"In fact, you have more or less guessed it, and the Kingdom of Heaven did not respond at all... Everyone is actually the same."
This time Xia Xiu exposed his face Self-deprecating smile:
"Yes, it's all the same. There are too many people who are full of hostility towards us. Kind and upright people regard us as enemies; people with pure beliefs also don't like us. They It is a danger to think that we are the enemy of the public. Of course, you should be grateful that they despise us and just laugh at us as buffoons."
"There is no such thing as being spotless. Each of us is breathing dust."
"However, this does not prevent us from doing things better."
The blond young man said After that, he turned around and left, and only Wendell, who was smoking, was left. He looked at the departing figure, lowered his head and whispered:
"The road to hell is Paved with good intentions...We are all in hell”

"O'Brien is dead!?"
A cute voice asked his captain with an unusually surprised tone.
“Keep your voice down, my ears are going deaf.” Charlotte covered her ears and scolded the Loli next to her.
"Isn't this a surprise?"
Lori looked at her team leader aggrievedly and said.
"His death was an accident, like a caged bird." Charlotte said, staring deeply in the direction of Berlin.
"Captain, what is the difference between that caged bird and those standardized structures? Why do I feel that the structural protection of [13th Section] is more rubbish than imagined, and there will be a lot of them once infected." Loli continued to ask her group leader with some confusion.
"Jasmine, of course the caged bird is different from those standardized structures." Charlotte stroked Jasmine's head.
“And those standardized structures are not as simple as you think. The only way we can infect them is to fight or suffer.”
“You have to know, doing dirty work Everyone likes to wear gloves when walking. ”
"Just like the [Ministry of Solemnity] in the Kingdom of Heaven and the direct burial troops [White Gloves] in the hands of the congressman who murdered his wife and son."
Charlotte had a sarcastic smile on her lips. .
“Speaking of heaven, it seems that there are really no annoying angels tracking us this time.” Jasmine said, touching her head.
“The Kingdom of Heaven is not a great and upright existence. In their eyes, they will always seek greater interests for mankind, and they don’t care about the process.”
“Theirs There is no rope inside, the thirteen members of the resolution assembly are divided into several factions.”
"Tear down the curtain, directly intervene in all countries of Terra, establish a unified human government, the Great Crusade..."
"These radical ideas have many supporters within the Kingdom of Heaven. ”
Jasmine was stunned for a moment, wondering why this kingdom of heaven sounds crazier than she imagined.
“Believe me, if an opportunity arises that satisfies the above conditions, they will fulfill it without hesitation. By then, we may be able to see the real hell.”
< br>The corners of Charlotte's mouth turned up.
Some people are born to watch the world burn.
··········
Heaven·an unknown place.
“0-02, we are an inspection team directly under the Ethics Committee.”
“Get the nearby [White Gloves] members to stand down!”
As the executive director of the Ethics Committee, Charles Vernal looked at the members of the nearby burial mechanism team with a gloomy face, and he angrily yelled at the strong old man holding a cane in the hall.
Each member of the Resolution Assembly has his or her own burial mechanism team. The [White Gloves] are a team that makes even the Ethics Committee feel troublesome and annoying. They only obey 0-02, and they will let 0-02 The annoying person "disappears".
"Everyone, please step back." The old man waved his hand to the nearby people.
The guys who made Charles feel troublesome temporarily retreated, and 0-02 came to Charles, his powerful eyes looking directly at each other.
“CEO, why did you come to me?”
"Why did you privately interfere with the issuance of Eden's order? Also, we found out that you privately accessed [Yahwei]'s "Salvation Sequence Plan". Don't you know that it is a top-level sequence that no one can access privately? ? Once the confidentiality measures are not taken, [Crimson King] and [Ether Monarch] will know the sequence..."
"Utopia Plan" 0-02 interrupted Charles. Discourse.
Charles was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, he looked at 0-02 in horror.
“How dare you!?”
“It doesn’t matter, this plan is not included in the confidentiality agreement.”
0-02 stared at the CEO in front of him with disdain.
“As a partner, you should be good at speculation and silence. You definitely don’t want to see everything through. You should watch what your awake partner is doing in your dream. If you are willing to turn your pity into suspicion , you will know whether your partner needs your compassion, maybe he just needs your unyielding eyes and eternal gaze."
"What are you..."
"The kingdom of heaven will usher in a powerful sun, and he will abandon this cumbersome parliamentary system, and a utopia on land will be established-"
"Child, we need a monarch who belongs to the kingdom of heaven. .”
Looking at the old man with blazing eyes, Charles could feel the madness in his bones.
