【Shining】Fallen

Probably the real collapse of the world will not cause greater chaos than it is now. If a planet is about to perish, the period of six months to one year before its demise is the most panic moment. As time goes by, people who want to die People basically commit suicide early, and those who are lucky will gradually return to calm—at least on the surface—they will be thinking "it won't be that far", while trembling and living the same life as usual .But this time is the most dangerous, almost foreshadowing the inescapable destruction of this planet—even if they survived by chance, the great ecstasy of escaping will drive them crazy for a while.

α-162 is not the first planet that is declared to be extinct. Before that, they have seen many planets that had to be relocated due to the extreme deterioration of the environment, planets that have been killed in perennial wars and almost exist in name only, the first rule of planets It's "seeking happiness" and doing all kinds of things to die, and finally build a planet that detonates the world and achieves the ultimate happiness...

About ten or so planets are destroyed every hundred years. No matter how unimaginable the cause has happened, people can look down on anything, but they can’t look down on their ability to die. Usually, the cause and result of the destruction of a planet can make the people of other planets talk about it with gusto. It has been going on for decades, and has the honor of being recorded in the history of the entire planet, but this does not mean that the people of α-162 can easily accept disasters befalling them.

Without bothering to keep their voices down, or whether they will be voted on or not—who cares now—they took to the streets.

"What does it mean that the energy of the planet is not enough!"

"Is the world going to be destroyed!"

"The government wants to give up the narrow space?!"

"Is it finally our turn—at least to find other planets... It's just that the energy is exhausted, there will always be a way to borrow energy! It must be possible...!"

"My child... at least please take my child...!"

"I-I don't want to die...I don't want to die—!"

Hundreds of years have passed since humans emigrated to alien planets, and each planet has divided a peace treaty of non-interference and will never interfere in the internal affairs of other planets. There are more than [-] planets in the α galaxy, among which there are governments based on free trade, some governments that believe in the logic of robbers by secretly plundering resources from other planets, and some planets named Mafia that fulfill the fantasies of middle schoolers and actually smuggle garlic waste in private. industry government.

α-162 is a planet where "absolute democracy" is the truth - countless small and medium-sized decisions must be voted on, and as for major matters, of course the whole house votes.The majority obeys the minority.

"The choice of the majority is always the right one." This is the first law in line with the logic of government operations.

But that's not the case——

"Don't the government take any measures?!"

"What the hell are they doing! Where's the president! Is Tianji District trying to give up the narrow space!"

"What is the basis of the selection list! ... I, I have citizenship ... I reserve all rights to the planet!"

"Please give us a reasonable explanation! Is the government going to abandon us-they...the vote will not pass...! No one will vote for it! This is not in line with the 'first law'-!"

The crowd uttered explosive questions and rushed in, and the hall of the jurisdiction was full of people.It was already late at night, and the managers in the narrow room were tired of coping. They knocked on the table impatiently, but their voices were drowned in the roar, and did not arouse any reaction.

The administrator of No. 301 had to raise the volume: "Pay attention to your words! Improper wording will be judged as a referendum against the will of citizens. I don't need to remind you again. If you choose to become a minority three times, you will lose your citizenship! Don't talk about emigration. , Hey, you all get out of the narrow room! Love dies where he died!"

The roar of the noise immediately weakened, and the narrow space was the residence of the outcasts—a resident of planet α-162 has only one thing that can deprive him of his citizenship rights since he was born, and that is to become a minority in the referendum three times.

People who have lost their citizenship rights are called "exiles", and they can only be driven to the narrow space, losing the right to vote, freedom restrictions that cannot leave the narrow space, extremely low medical conditions, no safe place to live, and no one. A cage of justice...he is still alive, and although he does not know how long he will live, at least the government has preserved his life.

That's all the Exile deserves.Because he violated the choice of the majority, aliens are not eligible to enjoy the rights of this planet.

The manager himself is also very irritable. He thinks that I have nowhere to go. What's more, you guys are worried about how the selection list is arranged for a while. Should you go and talk to Laplow at night? The Immigration Bureau in Bianyue has been working for decades, so there must be some inside information, maybe you can talk about it, yes, it’s best to bring that bottle of brandy, he has said it a few times... If it weren’t for the fact that his life was at stake this time Off, he was reluctant to take it out...

Thinking of this, he became anxious, took out the butt of his gun and knocked heavily on the table a few times, blowing his nose.

"Hurry up and go back to me! I will notify you if there is any news. The mice should hide in the ditch. When the ark sets sail, you can just hide in the corner, and no one will find you. They are all scattered, hurry up, now But at night, at 12:30 in the morning, it’s not working hours—if there is any problem, come tomorrow, someone will deal with it and explain—you! Hey! Go down for me, turn over the table! Go down!”

The crowd murmured and refused to leave.

The manager wanted to say something, when he saw a tall shadow oppressively covering him.

The burly man waved his fist threateningly, and said with a sneer, "It doesn't matter what the hell you want to do with those goddamned arrangements, as long as you can control your mouth...don't make me fucking worry The sky will fall when you sleep, just now, explain it to me quickly! Otherwise, I will let you...!"

The manager of No. 301 raised his right hand and pulled the trigger. The laser from the beam gun instantly penetrated the brain of the strong man. The grim face deliberately made by the threat was distorted at this moment. The strong man fell down without saying a word, soaked in blood. one place.

The crowd immediately shut up.

The manager kept his gun in his hand: "Who else has anything to say?"

Anger and resentment surged in the quiet hall, he turned a blind eye to it, and ordered rudely with his eyes lowered: "If not, then get out now."

Among the crowd who exited silently, a scavenger wearing a wide black hood covering his face reached out to close the burly man's staring eyes, picked up his corpse and walked out.

There was a "ding" on the ring watch of the manager of No. 301, reminding him that he had been deducted [-] star coins. People without citizenship have no guarantee of life. After killing them, they will be fined [-] star coins, including the body of [-] star coins. processing fee.

He heard the sound of "ding" coming from the scavenger carrying the corpse out of the house at the same time, curled his lips, the people in the narrow room are already at the bottom of the chain of contempt, but they keep dealing with it for the sake of fifteen star coins The scavengers of corpses are even more contemptible.

There are 6 districts in total, and each district corresponds to its jurisdiction. Not all districts disperse the crowd easily like Jurisdiction No. 301 of Lilyland District. The javelin was smashed, and the flames and guns were everywhere, and it was as lively as the New Year—a bloody year.

Enkidu squatted on the eaves and repaired the roof with his ponytail tied up.

With a long iron nail in his mouth, he didn't care about the whole brightly lit avenue, and the dark night walkers began to rustle.

His hearing was very sensitive, and the farce of the administration clearly came to his ears, the screams and roars, the sound of shattering and crashing, the sound of blood dripping and dripping... very clearly, he could hear the most humble cries for help in the wind.

But what does it matter to him?

The planet was dying, and that wasn't even as important as him fixing the roof for Shammut.

He listened to the wind blowing through his hair, and the iron nails under his palms were firmly wedged into the wooden boards. Ida ran out as early as the first shot of the No. 302 jurisdiction. She is a child who likes to be lively, and she must be at the moment Jumping through the crowd.

The roof was easily repaired. There is no 3D printer in the Strelitzia district, and ordinary material consumption and replacement are repaired in the most primitive way. Enkidu put away the tools and turned over.

Ida ran over from the street at this time, her eyes were wide open, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were brighter than the lamps on the street corner.Occasionally she bumped into a passerby, and she didn't care if she was scolded, she just ran over quickly all the way.

"Brother Enkidu!" She was extremely excited, gasping for breath, "I just met—I—oh, this can't be said..."

She grabbed Enkidu happily and shook his hand up and down, "But I know a secret! I'm so happy! I'm so happy!"

She lowered her voice and looked extremely mysterious: "The destruction of the world... is a lie! It's the adults who are lying! That's great!"

Enkidu stabilized her bouncing body to prevent her from falling: "Who told you?"

She bit her lower lip and couldn't stop laughing, her body seemed to hide a little sun that was secretly shining and warming, her dark eyes glowed with a strange light, she whispered: "It's a divine revelation——"

Enkidu paused. At this moment, flames and explosions erupted not far away. The crowd screamed and vented their despair with weapons. Occasionally, laser beams passed by, and more people hid at home and waited for the incident. fermentation.

Shammut hid behind the window on the second floor and couldn't stop looking at him with a lot of thoughts.

"……yes."

Enkidu smiled slightly and brushed her bangs.
