Chapter 16 Commissioner and Twilight
“A murder occurred in the No. 13 Coal Mine in the Barrier Field District. Two foremen and the mine director died, and all their property was looted.”
Now The branch director, who was carefully studying a Western Region master craft pocket watch, looked up impatiently at the secretary who had disturbed his lunch break.
"If it's just this little thing, you can prepare to go to the personnel handover."
The secretary fidgeted and lowered his head.
"According to the news from the security over there, the murderer is most likely the experimental subject who escaped from Miss Feng and No. 7 Test Site."
"So! Did the security at the site arrest you? Living there?”
“No, but they suspect that Miss Feng may have escaped to the loser’s territory with the experimental product.”
Hearing this, the minister was originally upset. Feeling calmer, he put down the precious pocket watch.
"The superintendent named Tian has a deeper relationship with those losers. He will have thought of this in advance. We have paid so much tax to support those police officers, it is time for them to do their work."
"Following your instructions, we also applied for locator permission from the manager."
Suddenly, the minister sat up straight, his expression became serious unconsciously, and his waist subconsciously bent.
"What did the manager say?"
"This is his approval notice."
The secretary took two steps forward quickly and handed an envelope into the hands of the minister. .
After opening the envelope and seeing the contents of the notice, the minister's face became a little ugly and a little relieved, but he finally took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
“Call Bai Qiulin over here.”
Soon a thin, lazy young man wearing a wrinkled shirt and casual pants with a somewhat slovenly temperament came to the minister’s door. In a private lounge.
The minister did not hide his displeasure at all when he looked at the young man. He slapped the other piece of paper in the envelope on the desk with a cold face.
“This is the manager’s order. From now on, you will be solely responsible for Fengzi’s escape.”
Bai Qiulin scratched his messy hair, picked up the order casually, and stuffed it into his pocket without even looking at it.
"A red shirt and white socks, you have bad taste, Minister."
"Shut up! You are just a commissioner! Pay attention to the way you speak to your superiors!"
< br>"I'm sorry, dear Mr. Minister, I sincerely suggest that you cultivate your own aesthetics."
He whistled and left without looking back, leaving only a pale expression on his face. The minister started to turn red but had nowhere to vent his anger. He hammered the table twice in anger!
The secretary on the side took the initiative to pour a cup of tea and placed it in front of the minister.
"Isn't the manager ready to officially take over the affairs of the branch?" the secretary asked in a low voice.
The minister brought the tea, and his anger disappeared as quickly as it came. In other words, he was deliberately showing it to the commissioner.
“The upper seat of the Sunlight Council has always been vacant, and the council is preparing to officially establish this seat on this year’s Glorious Festival. Originally, when Fengzi came, the position was reserved for her, but it turned out that this girl did not know the heights of the world. I want to go against the whole city."
"Since she is stupid and disabled, there are more choices for the council, and the manager is also very interested in this position. Otherwise, why would he do it since then? After coming to Taiyang, he never came to the company. Instead, he had many contacts with the congressmen and big factory owners.”
The secretary's expression was a little hesitant, but she still chose to ask.
"If the manager becomes a senator, then Commissioner Bai who comes with him"
The minister squinted and grabbed the secretary's white fingers, using the same method he used to study the pocket watch just now. Be serious and play with it carefully.
The secretary knelt down beside him obediently, letting the minister play with her hands that once danced on the black and white piano keys.
“Don’t worry, I have already asked someone at the headquarters to inquire about this man named Bai. Before he was sent to the branch, he was an unknown scientific researcher with no connections or background. After the manager came to the Suns with him, he was left alone in the company without paying any attention to him, and he was not assigned any specific duties.”
"Now that I have specifically handed over the matter of the experimental subject to him and asked him to do such a thankless task, I am obviously very dissatisfied with him." The minister slowly placed his slender white hand on his lower body, the The foot wearing the mocked white socks stepped on the secretary's head.
This condescending pleasure and unscrupulous insult made him feel happy.
He sneered.
“Leave it to him, leave it all to him. I want to see what he can do with such a tricky, potentially dangerous thing!”
In the shabby medical center, Levi sat bored on a small bench, listening to the priest he met in the morning wearing a black robe and a starlight cross pendant around his neck, explaining the church's doctrine to him.
“Twilight is not a specific god. In this era where everyone relies on scientific skills to survive underground, even the most stupid people will not place their spirits on that illusory thing.”
“Natural rules have become chaotic. Human beings have paid a heavy price and fled from the surface. They have built seemingly similar rules underground to survive, but this is obviously not long-lasting.”
“No one knows how long we can persist in such a human-maintained nature. So in the first year of the New Era, Mr. Chen Pingyi, a great leader in brain science and psychiatry, founded the Twilight Church and became the first The first pope. "
"Twilight, the last ray of sunlight in the evening. The purpose of the first pope's creation was to prevent despair and pessimism from taking over the mainstream of the underground city. Finally, part of the human brain nerves are intercepted, and biological rules are used to maintain the most basic biological activity.”
"When the neural network is built large enough and there are enough, it can create a world that exists in consciousness. When the real world enters its final destruction and the survival of living things completely falls into darkness, twilight will be activated , human thinking will be reborn in another form. "
"In that world, there will be no poverty, no hunger, no disparity, everyone will have endless resources, and human consciousness will enter. In the Garden of Eden, the neurological thinking of living creatures will also be continued in reality."
"This is Twilight."
The white-haired priest was serious, but he was also serious. There was no delay in taking care of the patient whose arm was burned in front of him.
Li Wei glanced at the darkening clouds outside the window and asked casually.
"Then what positive impact does your belief have on the present world? If everyone expects that mankind will eventually perish and enter the illusory Garden of Eden, then who will want to live? At worst, it will be fun to burn, kill and loot for a while, and then die and wait for another Isn’t it okay to continue enjoying life without paying anything?”
“What you do in this world will affect everyone’s life in the twilight.”
The priest’s scalding of the patient is completed. After processing, he looked at Levi and pointed at his head.
“Good and bad, good and evil, these may be able to deceive anyone else, but they can never deceive themselves. The moment a person’s nerves are left behind, his memory also plays a fundamental role in his life. With a conclusion, Twilight will use it to judge his form and situation in the spiritual world. Good people and bad people will have different appearances, jobs and families, and the extremely evil ones will become beasts."
While saying this, he also took out a small card from his pocket and handed it to Levi.
"We are not pursuing the development of many believers, but if you are interested in the final Twilight, you can come to the church at any time to sign a death and burial treaty. Twilight will not interfere in life, but is willing to take good care of your body and nerves."
“I’ve talked to you so much, and I just feel that your image and voice are very good. Recently, the church is preparing to build a choir for the Festival of Lights. You can come and give it a try. If you are selected, you can follow the bishop at the festival. Entering the White Tower that day and spreading the twilight to those big shots is a rare opportunity that many people dream of.”
After sending out the card and treating the last patient of the day, the priest was invited out. Li Wei closed the door of the medical clinic and walked out of the border market.
It can be seen that the residents of the border city respect him. Even the children who have returned home from get out of class will hang around him.
Levi glanced at the card in his hand, there was only one address on it.
[No. 18 Twilight Church, Laborer Block 2, Yuguang District]
He shrugged, pressed the card with his fingers, flicked it, and the card flew away in a circle.
Not to mention that he will never die, even in reality, he has no interest in such a church.
Although the teachings indeed persuade people to be positive and good, more people will be domesticated into cows and horses who do not know how to resist and question.
Levi has no malicious intent or interest in this. He just wants to try this strange priest to see if he can trigger any tasks.
But obviously, the result is nothing gained.
Just when he was about to turn around and find a snack bar to eat on the hour for the Teeth Festival, Fengzi found him with a depressed expression.
"We must leave as soon as possible."
