Symbiote Ninth

Caesar's expression was unusually dull. He could see clearly the room he was in. It was a well-formed cuboid. The dark gray walls and floor were very soft to prevent detainees from committing suicide. Sixteen people were evenly arranged on the ceiling. The light source, was so bright that it was almost impossible to sleep.

Looking at the light, Caesar collected himself and answered Lin Yitai's question, "Of course I do."

"Then are you willing to make sacrifices for him?" Lin Yitai said.

Caesar's thoughts gradually became clear, and he quickly thought of what Lin Yitai wanted him to do.

"What do you need me to do?" Caesar looked up at him, "I will try my best to cooperate."

"It's very simple." Lin Yitai said: "Admit that you led and provoked the whole plan, admit that you held Link and Chenghe hostage, and if you agree, I will tell you the rest of the details."

"What—what plan?" Caesar frowned.

"Repair all symbionts and subvert human rule." Lin Yitai smiled again and looked at him thoughtfully, "Huh?"

Without thinking about it, Caesar licked his lips and said, "I can say it, but Link won't agree--I'm not saying I don't agree to you, of course I agree, but he's not the kind who will listen to you without saying a word. The person I lied to, you are his brother, you should know him better than me, if he can't agree with me, then we are just doing useless work."

"It's very simple." Lin Yitai said: "Convince him that you really thought of doing this. I will provide the evidence and details. It is not difficult to deceive Link. Link is a person with great love in his heart. His great love is to maintain order, he loves you, but he also loves others, he will not tolerate you disrupting order, so as long as you convince him, he will shut up."

Caesar heard the sound of the wind blowing the wheat again, and he understood what Lin Yitai wanted him to do.

Lin Yitai wanted him to destroy the love between him and Link.

"I—I promise you." After Caesar finished speaking, he wanted to talk about something less serious. "To be honest, I did have that impulse, although it was only for a moment."

"It's understandable... Well, since you agreed." He looked down at the time, "I will come to you again at twelve o'clock tomorrow night."

"Wait!" Caesar stopped him and couldn't help but said, "Does this have to be the case? Can't we start with Dutan?"

"Do you think that only a few of us know about this matter? Since I know, don't they know?" Lin Yitai pointed to the ceiling, "Taking down Dutan is not something that can be done with a diary, do you think It’s too simple, politics is not simply about right and wrong, besides, you and the Holy Son have more than 100 lives in their hands, and Dutan’s crimes cannot be destroyed by making them public.”

"But you are not..." Caesar wanted to ask if he was not a member of the Free Army?Why not take this opportunity to unite forces that can unite?

Lin Yitai reached out and rubbed the center of her brows, her tone was tired, but she was not impatient, "I know what you want to ask, it's okay, you can talk here with confidence, the monitoring device has been switched to another line, Link told you Well, we are not pure people, are we starting a war now? Rather than saying it is a war, it is better to say it is a meaningless sacrifice, diary... If there is not that diary, do you think Du Tan will keep you alive until now? ? Will you give me this opportunity to discuss how to keep Link?"

Caesar understood.

Du Tan was restrained by the diary, so he didn't dare to act rashly for the time being, but someone had to explain and prove that the incident was resolved, and sacrifices were required.

That's him.

"I see." Caesar stared directly at the light on the ceiling, a dazzling white spot appeared in front of his eyes, this white spot jumped back and forth in his mind, jumped into his fragile nerves, jumped into his hard bones, Blast him, burn him, wrap him, dissolve him, soak him.

Let him cease to exist.

"When did you start to have a consciousness of your own?"

"When 00019 restarts me."

"When did you decide to start implementing the plan?"

"When you have your own consciousness."

"why?"

"Because man is our enemy."

"What is your plan?"

"At first I planned to blow myself up in the center of District [-]. On July [-]th, at [-]:[-] p.m., soldiers from District [-] were sent to disperse the marchers. If successful, the estimated casualties would be between [-] and [-], both soldiers and civilians. Both, I expected that I would have been repaired at that time, but I didn't expect that I was sent for testing at that time, and I missed the opportunity."

"Where did you hear about the march?"

"I could connect to the intranet at any time, and my level of confidentiality was very high."

"What's the next plan?"

"Bring Link and Chenghe together."

"reason?"

"They're relatively friendly."

"more specific?"

"Instigate disputes within the team, create conflicts, spread public opinion, and find allies."

"What's the matter with the piggy bank?"

Caesar opened his mouth and looked at Lin Yitai in front of him.

Lin Yitai's back was very straight, sitting opposite him in this narrow room, seeing Caesar stop, Lin Yitai was a little puzzled, "Huh?"

"Can you tell the truth about the piggy bank? Chenghe also saw it."

"Yes." Lin Yitai said: "Chenghe won't have the chance to go to a military court, but if he lied about this matter, it would be too obvious and deliberate. We just need to tamper with some small details."

"But--"

"No buts."

Caesar was silent for a moment, the hesitation in his eyes faded, and he said calmly: "I wanted to create a dispute within the team, and took the opportunity to kill Piggy. The purpose was to drive a wedge between Link and the others, but I didn't expect Piggy to provide a reason. If If he doesn't do this, I will tamper with Freesia's memory, make him believe that the piggy bank wants to hurt him, and then join hands with Freesia to kill him."

"How to tamper with it?"

"Invade his memory module and modify the data. Freesia trusts me very much. The temperature in the occupied area is too low. I propose to help him overhaul the constant temperature module, and he will give me permission."

"Is this technically feasible?"

"Have."

"The more than 100 dead soldiers?"

"I killed it."

"reason?"

"There is no reason."

"No reason?"

"There is no direct reason. They didn't take the initiative to attack me at the time. The fundamental reason is that I hate humans. At that time, Link insisted on leaving the team. I felt that he was worthless and that my plan was destroyed. This was just an impulsive revenge. Behavior."

"What did you do after that?"

"escape."

"more specific?"

"Fleeing in the occupied area, I didn't do anything specific...just fleeing. Link listened to what I said and believed that I was a reliable partner."

After he finished speaking, he felt ridiculous.

"Do you think this sounds believable at all? Who can this fool? Will Link believe it?" Caesar leaned against the wall, his hands hanging down feebly.

"People are very easy to be persuaded." Lin Yitai said: "There is no one in this world who cannot be deceived. Human memory can be tampered with like data. 186 years ago, a team of hydrographic surveys The ship claimed to have found two isolated islands on the sea, but when they returned along the road afterwards, they found that there were no small islands there at all, and there was no error in the line, nor in the gyroscope. , How can personal memory be [-]% true, let alone intuition?"

After he finished speaking, he hugged his shoulders and thought for a while, and said to Caesar: "Just add a few small details to ensure the truth. I will be responsible for this. Next question, how do you want to use Link?"

"Get his trust, unite with him the strength of the Independent Army, return to the R&D center in the third district, seize the power source, repair all the symbiotes, and snatch the equipment."

"If Link doesn't trust you, what are you going to do?"

"He will trust me." Caesar's thin eyelids blinked, almost being penetrated by the light above his head, turning into two dark red membranes, "I fell in love with him."

"Love." Lin Yitai slowed down her voice, "Are you sure this is love?"

"I tried to make him think it was love, okay?" Caesar said. "Manipulating him with emotion is like tampering with freesia's data."

The peaceful expression on Lin Yitai's face disappeared, and the only bit of kindness and warmth in his eyes also disappeared.

"Do you call this love?" He lowered his head and looked at Caesar with probing eyes. "This is the most vicious deception, the dirtiest lie, and the most shameless sophistry that exists in the world."
