Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 203 NO.00ca: Personal Enmity

[After this, the government of the resettlement area and Pluto Deep Dive Company will find many explanations for what happened today]

Liao Qi's calm voice spread to most of the city through the ferrofluid as the access medium, playing on every machine that can produce sound.

[They will first say that this is a horrific terrorist attack, a cyberpsychopath doing indiscriminate destruction, a tragedy that should not have happened. They will argue from various aspects that the actions of the Icarus Liberation Front are extreme, brutal, irrational, and inhumane. Doing so will not bring tranquility and peace to the bottom of the resettlement area, but will only bring endless chaos-it seems that they used to care about the tranquility and peace of the bottom of the resettlement area. 】

[Then, they will weave all kinds of exquisite words and use beautiful logical closed loops one after another to demonstrate how evil our resistance is. Various opinion leaders and experts and celebrities will also be invited to add so-called credibility to their rhetoric. In this way, they have completely removed their own responsibilities, and even shamelessly stood at the same angle with the people affected by the disaster today, saying that they, like you, are victims of terrorism in the resettlement areas. 】

[In addition, they will hire people to spread another voice. They will pretend that they are also from the poor, and comment on our struggle from a so-called "higher" position. To say that our rebellion is filled with ridiculous self-gratification is only based on impulsive emotional venting. It is not noble to say that our motives for doing this are just for our own catharsis. There is no precise plan written in the script, and there is no real strength against the company. The process of resistance is nothing more than sacrificing one's own life in vain. In fact, there is no way to seek the well-being of the real bottom people. 】

[Yes, these bastards would even show the slightest sympathy for our cause. 】

In Liao Qi's mocking tone, there was irrepressible anger.

At this moment, the two human intelligence limit adjusters who were wrestling with each other in the temporary network domain also heard the voice of Liao Qi broadcast.

"Liao Qi is dead?"

Hearing the news, Christie was shocked.

The computing power required to process this sudden message is less than one trillionth of Christie's logic core. However, at the moment of receiving this message, the violent fluctuations that spread throughout the entire emotional circuit caused her to lose control of the initiative in this network domain battle for a few tenths of a second.

But fortunately, the guy who was fighting with him in this network domain also briefly shook his control over the network domain battle because of this sudden message.

And when both of them realized their gaffe, they adjusted their efforts again and started a new round of confrontation.

"That guy, Liao Qi, seems to have fallen into a state of cyber psychosis. Is this caused by excessive adjustment and transformation based on the Icarus path?"

Number One asked.

"How would I know."

Hearing the other party's knowingly asking, Christie responded angrily. Along with her words, the icebreaker in the network domain turned into a storm of resentful spirits, sweeping towards the opponent.

"Ah……"

To this, number one just laughed. Then he pulled the rein in his hand, and the Pegasus riding on it spread its wings and emitted a bright and dazzling light, instantly eliminating the storm of wraiths.

"As a senior executive of Pluto Deep Dive Company, don't you know?"

There was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone, as if he knew something ahead of the other party.

"What are you trying to say..."

Feeling restless, before Christie could finish speaking, a communication message from Pluto Deep Dive Company came in along the internal line.

[Ms. Christie, a high-ranking adjuster from the Icarus Liberation Front is approaching. It has been confirmed that his mental index has broken through the high-risk value, and he has fallen into the valley of mental terror. Please take action to prevent this disaster】

The signature of this message is Wolfbane Force.

But... the uncanny valley of the mind?

At the first moment, Christie thought that those guys were playing some kind of trick - after all, that kid named Liao Qi was once inspired by the "paradox", and he didn't show any signs of madness. It's hard to imagine what he had to go through to cause his mental index to deteriorate sharply in such a short period of time, and he fell directly into the valley of mental terror.

But when she connected to the sensor of the body in the base reality, she saw those people flying towards her—seeing the wolf poison troops fleeing in panic, and Liao Qi who was chasing and killing them almost frantically. After scanning his whole body, both in quantity and quality, it was far beyond the limit that a human being could bear, so she affirmed the accuracy of this information.

But even so, she still couldn't believe this - before she left Narcissus Plain, she had clearly warned him repeatedly that the Ascension Path Icarus couldn't equip herself with so many external prosthetic bodies at once. No matter how strong and tough the mind is, it is difficult to maintain the basic humanity under such rough adjustments and transformations.

Why doesn't he listen to himself?

At this moment, the recording left by Liao Qi before the complete adjustment and renovation was still continuing to play.

[If I was the only one who detonated all these contradictions in the end, then they would search for my life afterward. They didn't even need to fake anything, just a little embellishment, and they were able to prove that I wasn't the savior, the revolutionary, the spiritual totem, the saint that the people were calling for... I was just here because of a personal grievance with the company. On this path of resistance. 】

[My resistance was not only barbaric and tyrannical, but also engulfed countless innocent people at the bottom of the resettlement area. Those innocent people in this conflict - I don't know how many, but I'm sure the numbers must make me feel guilty - should not have lost their lives so unknowingly, because of my reckless Resistance, which led to them becoming the so-called "necessary sacrifices". 】

[They will definitely say that, saying that the Icarus Liberation Front is also not a good bird. It's just taking the people as the price, ignoring the people who are still really alive for their own idealism. It is said that we are wearing the mask of righteousness, but in fact we are only resolving personal grievances-what I did today was not to liberate the refugees underground in the resettlement area, but only for my mother who died tragically at the hands of the company dogs, for The father who was crushed to death by them in the past is taking revenge. 】

Having said that, Liao Qi's voice gradually became agitated.

Liao Qi's mother... was killed by someone from the company?

Seeing the Wolfsbane troop rushing towards her, Christie suddenly understood.

Christie, who was in the temporary network domain, raised her head abruptly without even looking at the Wolfsbane troops coming over.

She looked at the stars in the network domain, regardless of the ice wall she built was being eroded by No. 1, she allocated a lot of computing power, trying to find clues of the opponent's existence in this starry sky.

Of course, she found nothing - as a member of the board of directors, the other party would not leave such an obvious handle.

But she is almost sure, perhaps based on the analysis ability after breaking through the limit of human intelligence, or other information channels, someone on the board of directors knows the real purpose of her choosing the Nord resettlement area.

Arranging Wolfsbane troops to follow him is for this reason.

"Ms. Christie, now is not the time to turn your face."

In the network battle, because of Christie's actions, No. 1, who had gradually gained an advantage, said so.

Then, while breaking through the opponent's ice wall, he continued:

"Understood? It's just in the company's dung heap, and it's inevitable to be played by the other party like this. I bet, even if you interrogate those people in the Wolfsbane army, you can't find out the truth behind the whole thing. In the past, they had any contact with the high-level person who plotted against you.

"According to those directors who claim to be gods, after the wisdom surpasses human beings, what they do is just put the stones where they should be-do not break through the limits of human intelligence. In this game, you and I Not even qualified to sit on the table."

Number one seemed to want to say something, but Christie, who turned her gaze back, interrupted in a low voice:

"Shut up."

Accompanied by her words, the surrounding temporary network domains are breaking apart bit by bit.

Christie is forcing her to go offline—even if the process will cause serious sequelae and let the guy from "Fire Stealer" take advantage of it, she can't control that much anymore.

At the same time, Liao Qi's message continued, and his tone became more and more excited.

[Then they will finally say that we should actually solve problems in a more civilized, advanced and sophisticated way—after all, in their eyes, all of this should be business, politics, the laws of the world, and their The civilization in the mouth... All in all, it shouldn't be a personal grudge. 】

[If you use personal grievances to cause social turmoil, even if your mother died innocently at the hands of their bastards, as long as your revenge brings new hatred, as long as your purpose is mixed with a little bit of personal grievances , then you are impure. They will also say that you should appeal to the law and morals to judge them. 】

Having said that, Liao Qi in the recording took a deep breath, letting fury brew in his chest.

Then he roared:

[Go to TM, this is a personal grievance! My mother was run over like a bug, so I'm going to make the company pay for it! There is no nobler reason than the simple reason why I am doing this today! 】

Liao Qi's excited voice echoed in this level, almost everyone's ears. Accompanied by their blood surging, resonating with their chests.

[Compatriots, the reasons for resistance are never so complicated that they cannot be written on a page! No one has ever stipulated that only those who have obtained a doctorate in TM resistance and understand TM theoretical basis are allowed to protest. In the history of human civilization for more than 6,000 years, the reason for each struggle is very simple - it is personal grievances! 】

[Look at the dear relatives and friends around you, look at them who have been eaten up by the company system without even bones left. Looking at myself again, in today's era with the miracles of the abyss and dark net, even the basic guarantee of life cannot be satisfied. There are also those cyberpsychopaths deliberately indulged by them, as well as the mercenary war areas designated by them, using limited wars as tools for games and distribution of benefits... Each of us has a deep blood feud with the company, and each of us People's personal grievances gather together, that's why we fight! 】

[The gang of company dogs will tell you that I acquired the power I have today by taking the initiative to trade with the AI ​​in the abyss darknet. I will also warn you that no one can control this force. The essence of our resistance is to hold a nuclear bomb and detonate it in the downtown center, and then use your kindness to make you unwilling to detonate the nuclear bomb. 】

[But if you don’t detonate the nuclear bomb, nothing will change. So the important thing is - to fry. As for what will happen after the detonation, it is not for you, an honest person who has been bullied, to reflect, look forward and backward, and achieve nothing in the end. Blow it up, destroy it, make them hurt, let them bleed, make them reflect, and then they'll take your opinion seriously. Because there have always been only two kinds of people in the world of those bastards—equal opponents and insignificant people. They will negotiate with the former, but never trample on the latter. 】

[Only if you make yourself a dangerous person, they will look at you. 】

[So now, I have made myself the No. 1 dangerous person-I have prepared a bomb that can sink the entire Nord resettlement area. One gram of antimatter is used as a fuse to trigger a chain reaction in a geothermal power station. The specific values ​​and effects, their scientists are more accurate than me. But intuitively speaking, once it explodes, including Pluto's deep dive, the six Olympus companies with branches in the Nord resettlement area, together with their personnel and fixed assets, will be wiped out. And the trigger for the bomb is now in the hands of Booker Irwin, who, like me, has a personal vendetta with those corporate bastards. 】

[From the end of this recording, three minutes later, my friend Booker will detonate, you can choose not to believe it, you can gamble. But in short, whether you agree to the conditions announced by the Icarus Liberation Front, the resettlement district government and the heads of the branch companies, we will only wait for you for three minutes, and only accept "yes" or "no" One answer, no room for bargaining. 】

[I sincerely hope that everyone can survive, if not, then I will wait for you in hell first. 】

[Farewell, Nord resettlement area. 】

At this moment, near the energy core of the geothermal power station, Booker silently pressed his watch after Liao Qi finished his last sentence.

Under Hecate's calm eyes, the 3:00 on his watch jumped to 2:59.

"Obviously, I strongly objected to doing this before, thinking that such a trivial life is no different from the company, and thinking that I was deceiving you, why did you suddenly change your mind now?"

Not aware of the danger at all, Hecate asked with great interest.

In response, Booker took a deep breath.

"Liao Qi is right..."

He said slowly:

"This is a personal grudge."

Hearing this, an imperceptible smile finally appeared on Hecate's iceberg face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"Anger and hate... I see."
