Gene followed Justin to a residence near the president's residence. After entering, Justin went to make tea first. This was where he rested after work.

  "Most of the shops have been closed recently, so we have to make do with Mr. Jean."

  Justin took out the biscuits he made, and Gene tasted one. The taste was indeed not very good, and the taste of the coffee was also average.

  "Go ahead."

  Gene put down the coffee and Justin hummed.

  "I entered Yuko's world before and met you, Mr. Jean."

  Gene became suspicious, and Justin began to briefly explain the situation at that time. He went in to assist Tommy and their experiments.

  "More than a century!"

  Jean smiled easily. He probably understood what was going on. The memory of Winter City that did not exist in his mind turned out to be in Yuko's world.

  Gene felt strange and asked.

  "Then do you think the person you saw is really me?"

  Justin nodded affirmatively.

  "Yes Mr. Jean, that is you, whether it is words, actions, and feelings, that is another Mr. Jean."

  Gene continued to ask Justin about some of the things he saw in the world over there. He now only had memories of those eight months and felt powerless.

  Jean knew what happened in Winter City, but he didn’t know what it was because Jean didn’t have that memory. He only knew what he had done in Winter City by relying on Vera’s dictation.

  Especially regarding Tasia, Gene knew nothing.

  "Why would you want to tell me?"

  Gene was a little confused, because these things were considered confidential, and Justin lowered his head helplessly.

  "What should I say? Mr. Jean, I want to talk to you. Maybe I need an answer."

  Gene nodded.

  "Are you questioning Tommy?"

  Justin hummed.

  "In the beginning, I was actually not satisfied with the president's actions because he completely crossed the moral and legal bottom line and did something that went against the bottom line of humanity."

  Gene, of course knowing what Tommy had done, asked with a smile.

  "This is inconsistent with the justice in your heart, isn't it?"

  Justin sighed.

  “If many things are not restricted by morality and law, then morality and law will lose the meaning of their existence.”

  Gene nodded.

  "It is true that what you think is correct, you don't need to doubt this, because you are a human being, and the human moral and legal system has been established step by step through countless tragic lessons. This is human It should have been obeyed.”

  Justin said thank you.

  "Those people do believe that they are above the law and morality. They have huge amounts of money in their hands and have enslaved others for generations. But after they die, will everything really get better? Or Can they really be killed without going through morals and laws?"

  Facing Justin's question, Gene thought for a moment and said.

  "This world has long been a world of the jungle, but after humans acquired morals and laws, they began to restrain themselves. After all, we are human beings, not beasts. We deal with problems that occur more rationally. This is what we humans do The meaning of social existence. But there is one thing. If one day it is impossible to use morality and law to solve problems, human beings can naturally only use force to solve problems."

  Justin hummed. He had also thought about this problem, and finally came to the same conclusion as Gene.

  "But this problem, if we put it in the past era of disorder, chaos, and information occlusion, it might be possible. But we humans have entered such a civilized society. Now everything has been broken and smashed. If humans still want to It will be difficult to enter a relatively fair society."

  Gene shook his head.

  "It can only end here."

  As he spoke, Gene took out a cigarette, lit it, and handed one over. The smoke filled the air, and the two of them were speechless for a moment.

  "Yeah, that's the end of it."

  Justin smiled helplessly and continued.

  "I actually don't have much hope for the future. Although the whole country is very good now, it is extremely depressing, maybe because there is no future."

  After Justin finished speaking, Gene nodded.

  "If you want to completely control mankind and maintain human society in a constant order, you can only cut off the future of mankind."

  Gene stood up. He no longer planned to continue talking to Justin. He could see that Justin was both satisfied with the current situation, but not very satisfied at the same time.

  "Is this all we can do, Mr. Jean?"

  Jean nodded and drank the coffee and said.

  "Mr. Justin, I don't think we will meet again in the future."

  Justin was stunned.

  "Mr. Jean, are you planning to leave?"

  Gene hummed, then opened the door and left.

  Justin sat down helplessly and could hear some faint mechanical sounds. He now hated this kind of life and this kind of country. It wasn't that he felt that this model was inappropriate, but he just hated it.

  Now the whole country is very depressed. Justin has already felt that the whole country seems to be gradually dying, the people have lost their vitality, and the future is very clear.

  The final result is that everyone will become a screw. Once this tone is set, this country will have no future.

  Justin clasped his hands together and smiled helplessly. With a flash of pink light, Tommy appeared in front of Justin. He stared at Justin with a serious expression and asked.

  "Director Justin, why didn't you tell me about seeing Jean in the world over there?"

  Tommy shook his head.

  "Mr. President, I just don't think things like this are relevant."

  Tommy's eyes were serious and he spoke.

  "Director Justin, I don't want a next time."

  Tommy had disappeared while he was talking, and Justin looked blankly at the empty streets outside. Many people were not going out now because there was no need to go out, and a large number of shops were closed.

  Only the unmanned supply stores in the community are open. People can go to the supply stores to buy anything they need. Many industries are facing disappearance, and there are very few news reports because there is nothing worth reporting about.

  Some entertainment programs have also begun to stop broadcasting, because many people in the entertainment industry have simply quit, and everyone has begun to lose motivation. Every industry is in sharp decline, and people have no fun at all.

  Everything now has made it impossible for most people to feel the happiness of being human. It seems that they are free, but in fact everyone has been locked in a cage.

  The crime rate in society has been basically zero recently. There are only a few disputes at most. But once a dispute occurs, the PLC will arrive immediately. Now most PLCs are near the community. Many people have nothing to do except chat all day long. Things are going on, and even they are looking forward to something happening.

  What makes Justin feel incredible is that the divorce rate has increased, and fewer and fewer people are getting married. There are almost no couples on the streets. This makes Justin feel incredible. Everyone is being assimilated by Tommy's system and becoming exactly the same. This process may not be a big deal to the next generation, because they will accept this system as soon as they are born, but the current generation is different. They have begun to despair. .

  Drop drop drop.

  A call rang, and Justin became confused and picked up the phone.

  "Mr. Director, please come over right away."

  "what happened?"

  The business on the phone was very noisy, the subordinate said.

  "Our building is being held hostage."

  Justin was stunned when a voice came.

  "Come here now or I'll blow them all up."

  Justin hummed.

  "Sir, please don't get excited. If there is any problem, I will come over and solve it."

  Justin picked up his clothes and went out quickly. Soon Justin came to the original WBI building. At this time, a large number of PLCs and heavily armed soldiers had arrived outside, and they had surrounded the building.

  Soon Justin learned about the situation. A doctor of chemistry made a bomb and then hijacked a person in the department. The bomb was in the department. After monitoring the probe and AI analysis and calculation, it was found that the bomb could blow up the entire building. building.

  Such an attack was sudden. The doctor said he was here to report some illegal crimes and brought some evidence. The evidence looked ordinary. However, when he entered the department, he announced that he was kidnapping everyone.

  "This doctor has asked to see you, Director Justin."

  Justin nodded and, escorted by some soldiers, entered the building. Soon Justin arrived on the 14th floor.

  There were soldiers everywhere at the door of a department. Justin walked to the door and raised his hands. A man with white hair and beard was sitting in an office behind the door.

  There is a bag on the table. The man's name is Rubens. He is a doctor of chemistry and has been retired for several years.

  "Mr. Rubens, please don't get excited. I'm already here. If you want to say anything, you can tell me."

  Rubens's hands were trembling. What he was holding in his hand should be the switch that detonated the bomb, but it was still unclear what function of the remote control that detonated the bomb was in Rubens's hand.

  The Ministry of Science has sent people over to analyze it. Justin stepped in. He did it on purpose, or in other words, it was necessary.

  "Don't come over here or I'll detonate the bomb immediately."

  Justin nodded, and Rubens looked very excited.

  "Look what you've done to this country?"

  Justin nodded.

  "Do you want to talk to Mr. President?"

  Rubens shook his head.

  "He was an out-and-out lunatic. He ruined everything, completely ruined everything."

  Rubens shouted, and at this moment there was a sound in the corridor. Just as Justin looked over, Tommy was already walking towards him step by step.

  Justin's face was solemn.

  "Mr. President, it's better to talk to Mr. Rubens calmly and listen to his opinion."

  Tommy said, staring at Justin.

  "You're not needed here. Come out."

  Tommy walked in, and all the soldiers were panicked for a moment, but soon the soldiers received orders from their superiors to evacuate them all, and a special force would come to deal with it.

  "I'll come in and stay with you. How about letting the others leave?"

  Rubens looked at Tommy in astonishment. He nodded, and then everyone in the office left one after another. Justin did not leave because he knew that nothing would happen.

  Tommy came to the table and sat directly in front of Bomb.

  "You really are a lunatic."

  Justin walked over with a solemn expression, and Tommy asked with a smile.

  "Mr. Rubens, your behavior is too radical. If you want to say anything, just say it directly. I am listening."

  "You have made this country become like this. You have taken away everyone's future. Now this world is meaningless. You madman, I know you must have used some special means to win this The country. Your approach has made us like zombies."

  Tommy smiled disapprovingly, then crossed his legs and asked.

  "What about the past? You would rather be treated as slaves by those capitalists. Now you are no longer slaves, but are you not used to it?"

  Rubens was extremely excited.

  "Shut up, you lunatic. Give us the country. We don't need such a mechanical society."

  Tommy hummed, and just as he was about to get up, Justin came over and said.

  "Mr. President, it's better to listen to Mr. Rubens first. He may have his own reasons."

  Tommy said as he closed his eyes and stood up.

  "The difficulty? This has nothing to do with the current world. Well, you can think about your wonderful life for the time being, and then accept death as soon as possible if you can't survive."

  Justin looked at Tommy in astonishment. For a moment, Rubens let go of his hand excitedly, and light appeared, but the next second was the dark sea.

  Tommy quietly stared at the flames bursting out from the light. As soon as the violent flames appeared on the dark sea, the flames suddenly stopped in an instant because of the lack of oxygen on the sea.

  "ended."

  Tommy returned to the hijacked office, Justin's eyes were shocked, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

  "Mr. President, is there no other way?"

  Tommy shook his head.

  "No, I have already seen this person's future. No matter what I say to him, he will not listen and will still detonate the bomb, so it is meaningless for such a person."

  Justin clenched his fists. He could not imagine what it would be like at the last moment.

  "But his design is quite interesting, the light signal bomb."

  Justin looked at Tommy confused, and Tommy explained.

  "He should have designed the function of light in the crystal in his hand. This black explosive will undergo a chemical reaction and explode after being irradiated by a specific light. This design is quite good."

  Justin looked at Tommy with some disappointment, he lowered his head and Tommy laughed.

  "Director Justin, if you don't want to continue working, you can resign at any time, even today. I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore!" (End of Chapter)
