【Shining】Fallen

When Gilgamesh knew about this, the situation was out of control.

About 6000 people, including members of Kierz's organization, took weapons and walked down the passage to Bianyue, and the explosion could be heard even with wooden pens-he and Enkidu were in the kale field at that time inspecting the newly planted Breeding situation.

Blood for blood is a narrow instinct. The corpses of the administrators killed by Enkidu were sent to the protein feed factory by automatic cleaning machines, and only half of their bodies were left. The minions of the murderers were all hung up and burned alive.

Since Bian Yue dared to release plagues and synthetic beasts to attack Zaza, killing 80 people, it is impossible for the people in Zaza to let them go.If Bian Yue is not allowed to pay the same price, Hazama will never let it go.

Gilgamesh felt a headache.

According to his speculation, it is impossible for Bianyue to be peaceful now-the referendum has come to an end, and it is too easy for Tianji to manipulate public opinion to guide the vote. Up to now, only 300 million citizens of Tianji can survive, and Bianyue's 930 million people will all be exiled. give up.

Tianji has a protective shield that covers the entire jurisdiction. Even if the border becomes more chaotic and wars start, and no one survives, it will not affect the Tianji people's leisurely emigration on the interstellar voyage ship.

Moreover, Bian Yue is very likely not the real culprit who released the plague and synthetic beasts. Its authority is not enough. This kind of massacre and extermination action must either report to Gilgamesh and get his permission, or the unanimous consent of the Tianji Council , submitted to a referendum and decided by popular vote.

But Zaza doesn’t care, anyway, they don’t know the inside story, most people go to Bianyue to get revenge when they are full after work, and go back to Zaza to work when they are hungry, and the cycle repeats.

With a blank expression, Gilgamesh beat up the guys who were eager to make a move. After discussing with Enkidu, he asked Shamut to continue to arrange various tasks in the near future, such as farming the land and repairing the house. Repair the house.

"I'm going back to Tianji," he said, not shying away from the crowd around him. "The old fellows in the council are useless. It's just a piece of shit that made it like this. I will stay for about ten days, and you stay here , don't cause trouble for me."

After he finished speaking, no one replied.

The crowd was quiet, watching him coldly.

That alienated, isolated, and defensive gaze focused on him motionlessly.

"Are you ditching the bay?" a man asked him.

"Escape back to Tianji?" a woman asked him.

"Abandon us?"

"Go."

"Don't stay here."

"Go away."

"People from Tianji don't dirty the narrow room."

"Anyway, a big man like you is just here for fun."

"We don't need you, go back to your heaven."

"It's disgusting."

"The narrow space is not a playground for your fun."

Gilgamesh stopped talking and slowly frowned.

He felt anger rising and falling in his chest.

These people who poured out malice without any basis and speculated on his thoughts without authorization put on a face of "knowing it a long time ago" and stared.

In the crowd, he was ostracized and isolated by himself again, and even felt a little bit of cruel killing intent, so he allowed the original plan to continue. There is no such thing as this world——

Enkidu shook his hand.

Then he saw Ida standing in the crowd, smiling and winking at him.

You know, he seemed to hear Ida’s voice, and everyone acted as if they were afraid of him and hated him, because they were fragile and sensitive, so they hated him first, so that if they were hated by him, they would not feel so uncomfortable .

Everyone was staring at him coldly and viciously.

Anger is like a balloon that pops when you poke it, and disappears without a trace with a "bang".

Gilgamesh rolled his eyes in his heart, and then felt a sense of powerlessness.

Idiots? These guys?Why can you be awkward and naive to this extent?

Enkidu stood close to him, refusing to move at all, and Gilgamesh felt his anger subside.

He snorted angrily, impatiently.

"I know it's difficult to understand my original intention based on your IQ, but at least listen clearly, I will come back after staying there for ten days or so."

He complained in his heart why he had to explain, and he could just beat him up.

"Need I remind you, who is the person in power now? A group of guys who are personally attached to me, don't add to the chaos-go work hard, I will be inspected after I come back, and the guys who have not passed the inspection, etc. Go to Nightingale's hospital."

After Gilgamesh finished speaking, he felt that his tone was too gentle, and immediately his face changed, and he scolded unceremoniously.

"Do you understand? Kneel down for those who don't understand, and screw off the heads of those who don't obey!"

The crowd froze for a moment, and as soon as the atmosphere relaxed, someone shouted as if to cover up.

"Since you don't plan to leave and never come back, just make it clear!"

"I'm sorry we're out of our wits."

"Hey - if you want to go, go -"

"Twist your head at every turn, are you a tyrant?!"

"Go, go! If you want to go, hurry up!"

"Don't interrupt our work here!"

Gilgamesh looked at this group of people who changed positions quickly with a disgusted face, and was about to go to Bianyue.

"Hey!"

He heard someone yelling behind him.

"...Don't die."

Gilgamesh couldn't help showing a smile, turned his back and curled his lips, speaking in a bad tone.

"Who do you think you're talking to?"

After a pause, he said again.

"...you too, don't die before I come back."

He didn't want to care about the group of people who sounded like they were laughing anymore, and Enkidu led each other towards the dark passage.

The passage is very long, and the V-shaped tunnel can accommodate three adults. The slope is a bit steep, and it is easy to fall down. Fortunately, Gilgamesh and Enkidu are not people who make such small mistakes. Very steady, with a slightly hasty pace.

The passageway was filled with the dampness of the soil. Taking advantage of this time, Gilgamesh briefed Enkidu on the situation on the frontier.

Bianyue is the living area sandwiched between Zajian and Tianji, covering an area of ​​200 million hectares. Like Zajian, it is divided into six districts: white eye, kestrel, eight-color thrush, longevity belt, Louyan, and golden-crowned ground warbler.

The passage dug from the wooden pen to Bianyue should eventually be in the middle of the Embroidery Eye area and the Kestrel area.

Planet α-162 is a country where democracy is supreme. The narrow area is the eternal residence of the minority, and the border is the temporary residence of the majority.

If you vote three times and become a minority, the citizens of Border Vietnam have to pack up and roll to the narrow room.

Voting covers all aspects of civic life. For example, a referendum was launched 50 years ago to allow euthanasia, and the next year it was voted whether the elderly who lost their labor force should choose suicide to make better space for the next generation and reduce the burden on the young. ?

The final result of the vote was "yes".

Of course, this is just a vote, and no one forces the elderly to commit suicide—it’s just that when you are old, every time you go out, every conversation, every breath, someone will express with their eyes and attitude: why are you not dead yet?

You start to feel a burden of life, everyone is expecting you to die, as if as long as you live, you are a minority.

You have to trade your life for the security of being a majority.

Similarly, the planet establishes laws through voting. In order to protect the rights of the planetary government and people and prevent the birth rate of newborns from falling every year, the planet votes to pass the law. Those who are still unmarried at the age of [-] will be counted as two failed votes.

Therefore, No. 162 became a rare planet in the α galaxy with both birth rate and death rate topping the list.

"It's very simple," Gilgamesh said with a pale face, and when he talked about these topics, there was always no warmth in his voice, "The rapid population renewal can bring maximum benefits. come out."

Moreover, unlike Zazama, the distance between the people in Bianyue is too close to each other, which is completely beyond the normal tolerable range.

People in the narrow space never care about others. It is not easy for them to survive. They don't know who will die tomorrow, so they will always treat others with indifference.

The curiosity of border and Vietnamese citizens is even stronger. They will get to the bottom of any matter and try their best to understand it. People's voyeuristic desires can always be liberated to the greatest extent.

It's not that they have nothing to do, Bian Yue has a heavy workload, and everyone has to put all their energy into their work to ensure their quality of life.

This voyeuristic desire boils down to ensuring control over the situation, and control is precisely insecurity.

When you sympathize with a tearful suspect, listen to his request and press the vote, and then you find out that this is a data-driven report, you press the wrong choice, you are expelled, and you lose everything.

Such people abound. Your life is in the hands of those who have the right to speak, not you.At this time, in order to give yourself a little sense of security, you will investigate everything thoroughly, and gradually become a habit, and gradually become biased.Everyone is struggling under the weight of existence.

Having said that, Gilgamesh shook Enkidu's hand.

"When we get to Bian Yue, let's split up. You find those disobedient guys in Hazama and throw them back. You might get infected at some point. It's harmless to Bian Yue, but completely fatal to Hazama. Virus. I'm going to cross Bianyue and go to Tianji to deal with some things."

He told Enkidu.

"The people in Xiaojian are crazy on the surface, and the people in Bianyue are crazy in their bones. Don't trust them, not any one of them—in order to ensure that he will not be exiled, Bianyue hates Zajian extremely."

It was the first time in Enkidu's life that someone was worried. He held Gilgamesh back in a strange way, and didn't pay much attention to his words.

"Are we going to part?" he asked, feeling an indescribable emotion--a novelty, too.

At this time, they were almost out of the passage, and there was faint sunlight leaking in front of them.

"...Ah." Gilgamesh stopped in his tracks, as if he was thinking about something, but the thought just passed through his mind carelessly, and he didn't stay long, his eyes were completely fixed on Enkidu's face.

"That's all... simply direct..."

"what?"

"If you encounter something that bothers you..."

He opened his mouth slightly stagnantly, and this unnatural breeze disappeared as quickly as an illusion.He quickly returned to his aloof and confident appearance.

"If anyone makes you dissatisfied, if anyone blocks your way, you kill him. Don't worry about the question of whether you believe it or not, you can do whatever you want, save people, kill people, even destroy this planet—you To have this power to decide everything on the planet."

He said slowly and easily.

"I will share my power with you."

Divide power to others—

Even Gilgamesh felt ridiculous and unbelievable for himself who said this sentence.

If there is a third person present, no matter who it is, they will be shocked.

Don't say that sharing is the first thing children learn when they become sensible. This natural principle does not hold true for Gilgamesh.

The entire galaxy is his sole possession, and the bastards who dare to touch it and think about it are challenging his authority, even if they escape to other galaxies, they will never let it go lightly.

But now, Gilgamesh--the tyrant who is the only one who wants to share with others.

Before making this decision, before Gilgamesh himself said this sentence, even he himself would not believe it.

But he didn't have the slightest bit of displeasure——

He is so satisfied.

Enkidu tilted his head slightly in front of him, his eyes were as clear as glass, and he couldn't understand what kind of promise he had just accepted.

But this is enough——

The tyrant who has always only asked for has also begun to learn to give.

He leaned forward and hugged Enkidu.

"Go, my friend."

"You already have everything I have."
