Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Long time no see, gods."

Jean quietly stared at the six gods sitting on his left, right and opposite sides.

"Little Fatty, don't mention a word about what happened tonight, especially the little girl behind you."

The Orange God spoke first, with a slight anger in his voice. Michelle looked at Gene in front of her in horror, but she thought of another thing, the vacant throne, this chair that had been there for who knows how many years. , has been vacant.

"Teacher, why are there only six gods but seven chairs in the Congress Hall, and there are also seven pillars outside."

"That is to show everyone that the six gods are equal to each other. They warn each other that no one's rights can override others. At the same time, they also want to convey the meaning of fairness to all citizens of Brilliant City."

Michelle's head was in chaos at this time, and sweat was constantly oozing from her forehead. The facts in front of her were too shocking, because Michelle had the impression that she had been concerned about this matter since she was very young. I have deep doubts about this unoccupied chair, but it is placed in the hall of Congress, beside the table that represents the supreme divine power.

Recalling what she saw when she came up tonight, the seven pillars were all emitting light. Michelle had never seen a blue pillar emitting light.

Could it be

"Stop talking nonsense, I have already asked someone to greet you and sign this document."

Gene said and took out the light and shadow phone directly, and a light and shadow screen appeared with the amnesty order on it.

The red god laughed, his voice a little sharp.

"Jean, this is different from what we agreed at the time. You are leaving here on your own. Do you remember what we said at the time? If you crawl back on your knees one day, we will immediately recognize you as the seventh member of the Brilliant City. God, and the news will be immediately communicated to everyone in the city."

"God? Is your brain broken? Rui"

Gene did not continue, but shook his head.

"I don't care what you think, just sign this document for me tonight so that I can get things done tomorrow."

"Look, you haven't been back for a long time. You used to put down your harsh words and pat your butt and leave. Now you come back with this tone. Gene, you are just the chief of the business department now, and your status is below us! If you want us to sign the document, you can , you crawl back from outside as you said before."

Jean stared at the red god with some anger, but now the green god smiled and said.

"Red, didn't you make a good promise before? Why have you changed your mind now?"

The red god laughed shrilly and shook his head.

"I'm just unhappy with your half-hearted attitude, Jean. You're obviously a god, but you act as the nanny for those little devils."

rub

Jean stood up, opened his shirt, and then stared at the red god coldly.

"If you're unhappy, use your fists to speak."

"Okay, just wait a few minutes and I'll come right over Gene. We haven't fought each other for many years. Let me beat you half to death."

For a moment, the other five gods present burst out laughing.

"Can you beat Gene?"

The orange god spoke, and the yellow god next to him shook his head.

"Save your energy, Red, it's just a document. Jean, you can ask us to sign it, but after signing, I just hope you can sit down and talk about the future of Brilliant City."

While speaking, the six gods stood up one after another, stretched out different fingers, and pressed their fingerprints on the light and shadow file that Gene called out. The six fingerprints emitting light particles were flickering, beating like flames. .

After Jean put away the light and shadow documents, he sat down, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a leisurely puff. The six gods looked at Jean at the same time.

Said the Orange God.

"We won't say anything more, Jean. Just come back and sit down when you are tired. You have been annoying and willful since a long time ago. I don't want to think about the misery we suffered in the past because of your willful behavior. Stop being like a child Gene, you are a god, not a human being!"

At this time, Locke's face was pale, and beads of sweat continued to leak out from his forehead. He was extremely conflicted in his heart. He didn't want Jean to sit on that cold throne, because once he sat on that throne, Jean would It is no longer possible to freely roam the city overlooking the city as before.

Gene shook his head.

"Give me a little more time, Brilliant City still has a future."

The yellow god immediately shook his head.

"It's been so many years, Gene. Although you can maintain order time and time again, people's hearts are not ancient. Creatures with intelligence like humans will only self-destruct again and again. The age of mechanization is necessary. Only by allowing Only when humans become creatures that can be controlled will they have a future, with precise efficiency, which is something humans cannot compare to machines.”

The yellow god said, raising a hand, yellow particles slowly floated out, and then turned into a human face with extremely clear composition veins.

"how do you feel?"

"People are stupid and will only repeat the same mistakes again and again. According to the current situation, in no more than 5 years, the city will probably have extremely serious problems and once again return to the era of war and blood. All kinds of Problems, external problems and internal problems are all squeezing, order will collapse 100%, and the era of only blood will soon come."

The human face made of yellow particles in front of him spoke in a cold and ruthless mechanical voice.

"Artificial intelligence has been developed a long time ago. It is necessary for cities to develop to the next stage, the era of fully mechanized artificial intelligence. Everything is under control. Whether it is cold or ruthless, this world is already a wasteland. Jean, although your efforts over the past 50 years have made some improvements, time does not allow for it. Even if you are looking at Brilliant City every minute, can you see it?"

Sweat was flowing down Michelle's forehead, and fear appeared in her head.

Jean stared at the yellow god coldly.

"There are still many people who work hard to live under the sun, every day."

The orange god said with a heavy voice.

"It's not what kind of life they want, but what kind of life we ​​can give them, Jean. All God can do is create, and people enjoy the life God created for them. In the next era, comprehensive When it comes, this city will be able to continue to survive. The seven of us have created everything in Brilliant City with our own hands. As the parents of Brilliant City, we have the obligation to create a way for Brilliant City to continue to survive before the city is on the verge of destruction. This It is your responsibility as a parent, Gene. Think carefully about what is right. If the same problem happens again and again, the order will only become more and more fragile. In the end, it will completely collapse under the combined force of internal and external forces. Or do you want to see the hellish doomsday era that the seven of us have experienced in the past, where people cannibalize people, blood and violence are performed every day, and the weak will always be trampled by the strong."

Gene's face looked a little angry, but there was helplessness in his eyes.

"Food, as long as the food problem is solved, I will pass the bill on the agricultural experimental base in the barrier zone by the end of this year."
