conspiracy news agency

"Luo Haofeng, you are really bad!"

Why is this kind of beginning again, I hate this kind of beginning, even the readers are almost tired of reading it?Why do I have to be scolded so much that I can't lift my head even though I am the dean.

"You actually used that ability on A-Ding, is A-Ding still a minor?"

"No, it's not like that..."

I made some helpless excuses for the 32nd time, but the senior sister completely ignored it.

"I only let my ability go berserk because I couldn't control it..."

"It's as if you're right when you say that...the headmaster of Starlight Academy can't even control his own ability?"

No, it's actually manageable, as I said before.In fact, as long as money is used to suppress it forcibly, it is also possible.But, at that time... Inexplicably, he was led away by the nose by A-Ding.

"But, no one else knows? Only A-Ding...and you." I said in a low voice, and then quickly changed the subject, "By the way, how did senior sister know about this?"

"Addin told me."

that guy...

"A-Ding asked me what was going on with your abilities and why you suddenly went berserk, I just said a few words casually to get over it."

I later found out that Tian Yu's "perfunctory two sentences" meant "Oh~ well, Teacher Luo Haofeng has such a day or two every month that he is uncomfortable."

"But, to be honest, Luo Haofeng, I'm also very worried about you..."

Sister Tian Yu changed the subject and her tone became softer.

"If it really doesn't work, go and tell Principal Li not to let you confront Du Juan. After all, no matter how you say it, you also..."

"No matter how you say it, is it impossible for me to defeat Du Juan-senpai?"

I chuckled lightly, I didn't expect Senior Tian Yu to think so.

"Senior was not like this when she was in college. She pushed me to Dujuan on the first day she joined the news agency~"

"The situation was different back then..."

Different?

"Do you know why I needed you as a pawn to fight Dujuan at that time?"

To be honest, I didn't know that the senior sister's ability at that time was obviously comparable to Du Juan.

"That's right, evenly matched, evenly matched. This is the reason why Du Juan and I were chosen as the standard bearers in that sandbox game. However, Du Juan obviously has more powerful chess pieces. Anshun, Shang Qianhua. In contrast, the news agency only has Shan Shangchuan borrowed from there. This is a game that must be lost...until you show up."

The senior sister sat on the chair, raised her legs, and silently narrated the old incident that changed my life.

"You are actually not a particularly important person. If there were other people sitting alone in the cafeteria, I might have chosen someone else..."

Sure enough, it is a lie to say that I am a special person.

"However, once you enter the chessboard, you become the biggest variable in the world. You are an ordinary human being, so..."

Does it mean that it has the greatest growth potential...?

"That's right, but you are no longer a pure human being. You can't deny that, right?"

That's true, but...

"But there is always a way, right? Defeat Cuckoo..."

"It's not that there is no way, but... Mr. Luo Haofeng, you will become the kind of person you hate the most. Even if that's the case, don't you care?"

"It doesn't matter..." The straightforward attitude even made me feel unbelievable, "As long as I can defeat the cuckoo, I can use any method."

I am not trying to defeat Du Juan, but to defeat the self who was once controlled by Du Juan and Country C.If I continue like this, I may become that cowardly and incompetent puppet again.

I looked at Sister Tian Yu seriously, she was silent for a while, as if confirming my determination.Then finally shook his head helplessly.

"I really lost to you. You are still the same as you were in college, Mr. Luo Haofeng, only in terms of being brave and foolish."

"..."

Whether this is a compliment or a criticism, I cannot understand.

"Mr. Luo Haofeng, why do you think human beings are united?"

The senior sister didn't directly tell me the way to defeat the cuckoo, but asked this question.I thought about it for a while according to the reason why Du Juan refuted me...

"It's for survival... After all, ordinary human beings cannot survive."

"Is that...is that really the reason?"

"Eh……?"

"What Du Juan said, the situation that lonely humans will be swallowed by darkness should be in the history of tens of thousands of years? Humans today are not such fragile creatures~"

Simply put, the current human society is not such a fragile thing.

"Even in the city, there will be the kind of guy who hardly deals with anyone. He has no friends, relatives, or lovers. He repeats mechanical work every day, and then draws food from the fast food delivered to him guy."

Woow, indeed... that kind of guy exists, but it's too sad to say it like this.

"That's right, it is indeed the case now. However, this kind of guy who exists independently in the world does exist. Moreover, the reason why they can stand on the world is precisely because of the existence of 'United'." Senior sister said He paused for a while here, "In other words, under the current highly united society, only those who only live for themselves are allowed to exist. Can you understand this?"

"Huh...?" I don't really understand, "It's not appropriate to say that, even if those NEETs can live like that, it doesn't mean they are living happily. If all human beings are to live like that In terms of life, it is not as good as the current situation."

"That's right, that's right, because now is the historical peak period of the development of the 'United Society'... The form of the new 'Separate Society' will naturally be more awkward. Hey, let me say, are you listening~ "

The senior sister knocked on my head, and I was taking out a notebook and a pen from the drawer to record—"Discrete society..." I recorded this term I had never heard of on paper.

"Let's call the existing society in this world an aggregated society—the significance of its existence is to connect human beings together. When more people are aggregated into the same society, the social The overall efficiency will be higher. Therefore, we can think that the current era of globalization is the pinnacle of the agglomeration society. In this world, no one can escape from this society, so this society itself is what the agglomeration society can achieve maximum efficiency."

I listened carefully to the senior sister's church while recording the key points.

"A few 10 years ago, human beings had to gather together in order to survive, forming the earliest starting point of an aggregated society. With the historical process of slave society, feudal society, and capitalist society, the form of aggregated society has always occurred is changing, but the essence of aggregation has not changed. The reason for human beings to gather together is no longer to survive, but to live better. In other words, desire has replaced the original survival The motives of human beings have become the original motives for human beings to come together."

Senior sister blinked her eyes pretending to be puzzled. To be honest, for a woman of senior sister's age, that pretentiously cute expression reveals a different kind of heart-warming demeanor.

"But why are there so many NEETs?"

Is it because you are not good at making friends or communicating with other people in society?

No, no, it should be a deeper reason.Although it sounds like the second illness, it should be like this...

"These people have different desires than the average person."

"Barely pass~" The senior sister sighed, as if she was not satisfied with my answer, "It is not so much that these people have different desires from ordinary people, it should be said that every human being has different desires. Biological creatures, apart from the desire to survive and reproduce, generally everyone has different desires. However, human beings have agreed with each other for the desire to survive and reproduce for nearly 10 years. Isn’t this too strange? "

It's really admirable that the senior sister uttered the astonishing remarks that split the world with ease.

"Let's open up the space of imagination a little bit. If science and technology continue to advance, what will happen to these NEETs?"

The senior sister didn't wait for my answer, but asked and answered directly.

"Will they live better? Because one day, people no longer have to go to work outside their homes, and more people will be immersed in their homes. When technology develops further, maybe everyone will We live in our own virtual world. We are doing what we like. They will not influence each other, but at the same time, we will have a faint connection with each other. Even if you and I sit face to face, I can’t Determine whether you are really a human being or a virtual AI. And the virtual system responsible for taking care of my mental state will automatically erase you from my world after I fight with you. And you are not Die really, but only in my world, and I die in your own."

To be honest, I can't understand such a world.

"You who have seen the water control system should be able to understand that in the current world, seeing is not necessarily true, and hearing is not necessarily true. The world we perceive is gradually being affected by various things And become distorted. One day, when human technology can distort human vision into a ring, we will completely ignore each other's existence. The so-called aggregated society will completely cease to exist..."

Will such a world really come?I can't help but feel a little scared.

"If we're going to look at society as an ever-evolving thing, we've had primitive societies, slave societies, feudal societies, capitalist societies and...well, partial socialist societies. But all of these The social form is just going farther and farther on the road of aggregation. The discrete society is just another leap after the aggregation reaches its peak."

"But...but..."

I couldn't help interrupting because there was a problem that I couldn't understand.

"I can't see that trend at all now... Judging from the current international trend, the whole of Europe has moved towards unification. The West Asian faction represented by country E has also moved towards unity because of the intervention of country Y. After all, The apex of a converging society should also be..."

"No, the Datong world you imagined is impossible to be born." The senior sister smiled lightly, as if I had fallen into her trap, "As I said before, the characteristics of an aggregated society It is that the higher the degree of aggregation, the higher the social efficiency. However, conversely, the more efficient the society will be, the more separation tends to appear.”

A gust of wind suddenly blew up from the sealed office, and the senior's hair was disheveled by the wind.The moment I blocked my view with my hands, the shape of the entire office melted into the darkness.Senior sister stood in front of me unwaveringly, and behind her was the blue planet that carried 70 billion lives including me.

"Gay affirmative movement and Christian movement, women's affirmative movement and patriarchal revivalism, hedonism and green environmental protection organization... These small things that were originally insignificant before the feudal society will now cause conflicts between regions. This It proves that human beings have completely transformed from survival instincts to desire instincts. Human beings have long been far away from the age when they need to be together to survive, and even sacrifice the lives of others for their own desires - this is the basis of a discrete society .”

Following the senior sister's explanation, on the huge earth, the national borders like aurora are changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.More and more small countries disappear until there is almost only one country left in the world.

"One day, the smokers in this world will be cornered, and maybe a war will break out because of smoking ban. Next, a group of smokers will establish or control a new country because of it. Homosexuals and the cross The same is true for believers. All lily lovers will establish the first country in history that prohibits men from entering. And the world will not fall back to primitive society, because with the advancement of science and technology and the development of productivity, every small country Productivity will reach a point where the standard of living before the split will be maintained."

Inside that huge country, borders began to be reborn, leaving beautiful and cruel traces in the sky like a spider weaving a web.In less than a sentence, the world has fallen into a more divided situation than before.However, the branches of light did not stop because of this.

"However, this alone is not enough. What if a person is gay and a smoker? What if a Christian is also a lily lover? Even a separate country for all the disputes in this world would be too much The overlapping of these disputes produces countless permutations and combinations. So until finally, human beings have to live a self-sufficient life responsible only to themselves. Society disintegrates in the order of international, national, provincial, city-state, family, until each When people live in a world where only they are satisfied, the discrete society will reach its peak.”

"no, do not want!"

I seem to have a premonition of what's coming next, but I can't stop it anyway.The network of those auroras became denser and denser until the entire earth became one giant cocoon.

With a bang, the senior sister hit her hands together, and the ball of light behind the senior sister exploded like a bomb.Countless silver shuttles, like some kind of biological symbol, spewed out in the aftermath of the planetary explosion, and scattered into the endless universe around them.

As if I was shocked by the scene that my senior sister described, even though the surrounding scenery has returned to the real world, I still feel my heart throbbing.

"That way... no."

I struggled to speak out, but I couldn't find anything to refute my senior.Senior sister's paradox has no flaws, at least in my opinion.If you use this theory to challenge Du Juan, there is no reason to lose.

But can I really do it?

Before convincing others, the first thing I have to do is to convince myself.However, although I couldn't find any loopholes in my senior's logic, I couldn't admit that human beings will eventually move towards that bleak future.

"Well, this is not the inevitable future of mankind, but at least it is one of the possible futures of mankind."

The senior sister didn't care about my nervous dark color, and said lightly.

"Compared with the direction of human history thousands of years later, shouldn't you think about your own future first. Even if you succeed in persuading Du Juan here, it doesn't mean that country C will be divided. You and I are in this world The impact on history is simply not big enough to change the final outcome of mankind. If mankind will choose that evolution route in the end, it is not something you can solve by sacrificing your future in the Alante History Institute here. In short... "

"I see……"

My voice was a little hoarse, although I knew my senior was comforting me, but those words didn't make me feel better at all.

"I'll think about it carefully."
