Overturned Tower

The electronic tattoo used by Paradise Bird was made by herself with instruments.Its surface is as transparent as possible, attached to the bone, and can directly transmit sound waves to the auditory nerve through bone conduction.

It's like the knocking sound of human teeth is very small, but it can be heard clearly.

And using bone conduction to eavesdrop, even if the sound is very small, you can hear clearly...and at the same time, you can avoid being heard by outsiders.

Even though it is still moving forward with others, Paradise Bird is also distracted listening to the voice on the other side.

Her pupils contracted suddenly, and her momentary absence made her freeze in place for a moment.

The people next to her looked at her curiously, and Paradise Bird shook her head slightly, indicating that she was fine.

Just now, Tovatus' words were transmitted to the Bird of Paradise through the radio bug.

"... Blow up... the building invested by the church?"

Those immature whispers that were as intoxicating as wine and full of bewitching power sounded like a devil at the moment.

The strong impact made her even a little unsteady just now.

--Do not make jokes.

Church-funded buildings?

Turn people against angels?

I'm afraid it will.

Because what are the buildings invested by the church?

orphanage.Enlightenment school.crematorium.digital library.

These are things that those companies are unwilling to open, and they have no technical content at all, let alone things that are not profitable.

Kindergartens are generally the industry of Thoth psychics, because they have many experiments that require the participation of young children who have not yet manifested spirituality;

Hospitals and pharmacies are monopolized by Ampoule Biomedicine. Even if someone creates a new drug, it will often be purchased by Ampoule Biomedicine for patents or shares. Nursing homes are also controlled by them and used to sell diseases to the elderly. various drugs;

All convenience stores, department stores, and grocery stores that can buy daily necessities, as well as those taxi services driven by artificial intelligence, including those fully automatic factories that continue to produce in the downtown area... are all industries under the control of Sogo Corporation;

And hotels, restaurants and community properties are more or less controlled by Taoyuan Commercial Bank.

The same is true for other types of industries.

As long as it is profitable, as long as there is a technical threshold... it is basically controlled by the seven giants and their small companies.

Those industries that have no profit but must exist are taken over by the Cyber ​​Church.

This is a thankless industry.

——Hard work, tired heart, low upper limit, not understood.

Those who are willing to join are more or less the kind of people who have relatively low desire and hope to help others.

But they want to blow up these buildings?

Even if they act in the middle of the night, they will definitely accidentally injure innocent people.

Can the lives of orphans be guaranteed?What about the bodies stored in the crematorium?

What about the scholars and college students who study all night in the digital library? Will they get hurt?

What about the children who still need to learn to read and count in the future? Can they still keep up with the follow-up studies?

Without enough profit, the head office can't do all they can to help restore it - and as long as they keep blowing up these buildings, the speed of rebuilding can't keep up with the speed of destruction.

How many people's lives will be hit by this!

They will indeed anger the church... But this does not affect their first hatred to the lower city!

Originally, even if the lower city went to the upper city every day to rob, kidnap, and kill people, it was "a very small number of cases" after all.

Most people don't have reality at all, and they can't imagine that this kind of thing will happen to them one day.

After all, most people are actually "unprofitable".

But if these gangs really acted according to Torvatus's words...the damage and impact would be completely different from before!

Since then, the lower city has never returned to the sun. Even if they can be protected by the company for a short period of time and will not be wiped out by the angels, they have completely offended the Cyber ​​Church, which was originally neutral.

In the long run, they will be wiped out by the company and the church!

——You must never agree!

Once you agree, it is equivalent to choosing destruction as the inevitable ending!

Paradise Bird felt unusually nervous, and couldn't help holding its breath.

She realized very clearly... that the torrent of the times had already flowed.

The result of this meeting will directly determine the future of all people in the lower city of Sky Island from now on!

But to the despair of Paradise Bird, Tovatus' proposal was immediately recognized and approved by others.

"It's not bad. Weakness is a weapon... and it is true. Because we are fearless, churches and companies that have scruples should also be afraid of us."

It was a thick and dull voice, and Paradise Bird didn't know his name.

"Indeed, we have no choice... As I said before Hanging, I have been a mage for six years. Although I don't know how powerful an angel is, my strength is far less than one percent of my mentor. But even such powerful mages were defeated by the angel legion. Like strangulation, full familiarity, maze, legal enemies... you all are less than four years old. Although I don't know how long Mr. Barber has been a mage, but I I don't think it will last more than half a year."

Malt Wine's rational voice tended to agree after a moment of hesitation: "If the angels are allowed to wake up constantly, I don't know what will happen to those scum and bastards. But we must all die."

"Even if you count the two deserters and the discordants, we only have 23 people."

Quanshu's shriveled and shrill voice came: "However, it is not only Happy Island that has a lower city. We are not the only ones who can give birth to mages... No matter what the other people of Sky Island choose, we only need to choose this way to avoid the war. Must be effective.

"Since Happy Island has shown an obvious attitude of 'angels are not welcome', I think the Church should give priority to attacking other empty islands."

"Are you going to abandon the mages of other sky islands?"

The roar of the strangling angry lion came: "Are you planning to betray your own identity?"

Although he was angry, it was not for the lower city.It's for the "mage"—even the most reasonable strangulation doesn't care about the life and death of those without a code at all!

This one sentence after another, listening to Paradise Bird's whole body is cold.

She realized one thing.

These mages didn't treat other residents of the lower city as human beings at all!

The enemy hasn't come yet, they are discussing how to sacrifice other uncoded people in exchange for peace...

They are burning the future and possibility of other residents to buy time for the "mage"!

... She originally thought that the so-called "gangs" and "organizations" were nothing more than a group of people gathering together to make a living.

Although the positions are different, we are all family members, we are all of the same kind, and we are all uncoded people with the same situation.

But these days, the no-coders in downtown are nothing more than "scum" and "assholes" to them.

I'm afraid those uncoded people don't know...they who claim to be free are just clowns, playthings and props in the eyes of gang leaders.It's no different from the salary slaves in the upper city... No, those salary slaves may be valued more.After all, their lives are protected.

And she risked her life just to save such a group of "mages" and the soil that hatched "mages"?

Or, are you saving those uncoded people who have long been determined to be given up?

so ridiculous...

But right now.

Paradise Bird suddenly heard the voice of the barber:

"—The most choices? It's ridiculous... We don't have a choice at all."

She seemed to see a ray of light in the abyss.

Chapter 39 The Eloquent Bird

The barber tilted his head and looked at the others at the table.

He shook his head in disappointment.

Although as the proposer of the plan, Tovatus, who was refuted by the barber face to face, was completely lifeless.

He just asked with great interest: "Tell me in detail?"

"Simple. You've just heard 'there will still be stupid people to blame the angels'. I don't deny the inevitability of this development... But, it's not 'people will only blame the angels'."

The barber said flatly: "Although the voices used to attack the church will be amplified by the company, more voices will [-]% point at us."

Without waiting for Torvatus to speak.

"Full cooked" was the first to stand up and refute the barber's words head-on: "You are so naive. We have been hated by those wage slaves from the very beginning... But what does disgust matter? If disgust can turn into harm , I have been killed countless times.

"The fact is: as long as the church continues to unfreeze other angels, we will die sooner or later. Because we can't fight the angels now, we need a lot of time to grow dormant. For this purpose, no matter what price you pay, you should bear it. You become a mage The time is too short to understand anything at all.”

Hearing this, the barber smiled happily.

The barber was very happy if someone jumped out and stepped on him at this moment.

Because he was deliberately showing weakness and catching a fish as a target.

In this case, the barber's direct target would no longer be the difficult Tovatus.

Yes, he intended to thwart Tovatus' plans.Or conspiracy.

He was well aware that those "church-sponsored buildings" were exactly what the poor and needy of Uptown needed.

——Because he grew up by relying on various projects funded by the church.

To protect those orphans, to let the dead rest in peace... so that college students and civilians do not need to spend a high price to "buy" books.

In order to prevent those people who are already living a very difficult and tired life from falling on the "last straw that can overwhelm the camel", he must stop Tovatus' plot no matter what.

Just because he's here, hears it -- and can do it.

However, there is no point in just yelling at yourself.

Tovatus called so many people just to vote - in addition to Tovatus, there are four mages in the Veil of Ignorance, but they didn't say a word, which shows that Tovatus has long been have convinced them.

In a meeting of 21 people, he started with five votes.

Not counting the "fully cooked" target and the barber himself.

—The barber must enlist the support of at least ten of the remaining fourteen.

This means that he almost needs to reverse the thinking of everyone present.

Very challenging.

But he felt that he might not be able to——

"If I remember correctly, you should be a fraudster."

The barber suddenly mentioned casually: "You are even the mentor of other fraudsters in Eternal Reincarnation. You specialize in teaching them how to deceive and incite others."

"That's just my profession, not personal morality."

"Familiar" didn't care about this level of attack: "This is also what I'm helping newcomers in the organization learn to survive, what's wrong?"

"So you will be very good at diverting other people's attention and planting cues in others."

The barber said with a smile.

The purpose of the other mages present is different.

Other mages are still discussing how to delay time and increase the number of the same kind.

"Full cooked" was the first person to lead the idea to "simply direct the church's firepower to other sky islands".

"For you, uncoded people are not of the same kind; uncoded people from your gang are still not partners; even mages—as long as they are mages from other sky islands, they can be discarded."

"What's the problem?"

"Quanshu" sneered: "That's how it should be... We are about to die, how can we take care of them?"

"So, what if danger looms among us? I believe that at that time, you will also classify us as 'them'.

"As long as the company and the church promise to let you live, you will betray us without hesitation."

The barber said leisurely: "You are nothing but a frightened selfish person."

Without waiting for Quanshu to say anything, his voice suddenly rose, and he turned the topic back to the previous discussion: "As this coward said... what's the use of 'hostility' from the upper city?

"The simple answer is to make 'downtown' unnecessary."

Not many people have heard the words of the barber before.
