Overturned Tower

Happiness Island is not too far from Tongshen Island, but there is also a transfer from Sun Island on the way.

He set off before lunch, around eleven o’clock—he didn’t even have time to go home to pick up his things, because Director Amirus had already contacted the headquarters of Sun Island to help Russell transfer to the first-class cabin of the airship on Sun Island Inside prepared a very thoughtful luggage.

All kinds of items needed for a business trip are available, and even a credit stick that can be used in Tongshen Island is prepared. After connecting to Tongshen Island's network, you can transfer it directly to your account.

At the same time, Amyrus didn't really let Russell go alone... He also arranged three bodyguards for Russell, and he could meet them when Russell changed trains at Sun Island in the evening.

It is said that they are a man and two women, both are elites of Sun Island’s executive department, and they are also legal psykers armed with psychic powers. He is a psyker who has received advanced psychic education and is equipped with expensive weapons and consumables.

The Executive Department of Tianen Group, if they want to use psionic chips, they have to buy them at "internal prices". A large part of their salary is used to update equipment, replenish consumables, and maintain prosthetic bodies.

The executive department of Sun Island is all elites recruited through multiple examinations, and there is no such thing as cannon fodder caught from prisons.

Their psychic chips are directly reimbursed for free, and the updated equipment is only charged at cost. In this way, the spirit and fighting power must be heaven and earth.

"To be honest, I can also accompany you to Sun Island."

Bad Day put his legs on the table and let the chair under him lean back at a dangerous angle.

He said casually: "When the time comes, I will have to hide... How about I go directly to Tongshen Island and wait for you?"

"Okay. I'll be there at about ten thirty in the evening."

Russell was so absorbed in watching the beef patties sizzling on the iron plate in front of him that he didn't even pay attention to what Bad Day said.

He carefully sliced ​​the meatloaf with a knife, the burnt-brown skin was easily cracked, and the rich meaty aroma came to his face. Under the crispy and tough skin, there is a meat patty made of meat filling that has a good taste but not sticky, and there are evenly scattered diced fat meat the size of a soybean, which is almost completely melted.

It is also topped with a powdered spice mix of three types of peppers for a touch of greasiness. Combined with the fragrance of the meat, it is a delicacy that can take people's hearts away.

Just like the "bread tree" in the fairy tale. There is no need for additional and complicated processing, and when it comes out of the factory, it already has such a posture-this is the romance unique to synthetic meat.

This is the beauty of mixing industry and art.

"I remember you came to Tongshen Island."

Russell will cut off a juicy piece of meat, immerse it in the viscous, transparent, hot and sour dipping sauce next to it, and then put it in his mouth.

He said in a vague voice, "Is there anything I should pay attention to?"

"The first thing to pay attention to is not to let others think that you are a smart person at a glance."

Bad Day shrugged: "On Happiness Island, this kind of consensus is good, and it can save time for both parties...but on Tongshen Island, you'd better be a Riddler."

"Why, people here like to tell riddles?"

"It really is."

Bad day sneered and nodded.

After he finished explaining, Russell understood:

People from Tongshen Island have a custom of "meditation".

It is a kind of philosophical view similar to Investigating Things to Know—they believe that there is a spiritual reality deep in the human soul, and that this "wisdom entity" can be excavated through meditation, hypnosis, and integration with nature, and the soul's essence can be obtained from it. Revelation and true wisdom.

Compared with "intelligent entities", the knowledge acquired by the outside world through experience and learning is not real wisdom, but an illusory shadow cast by wisdom on the curtain of life. If you try to grasp the shadow, you will naturally be unable to grasp anything. Only by jumping out of one's own life can one seek "true wisdom".

And this kind of wisdom, of course, cannot be described in words. No one can get that kind of wisdom completely, but there are different degrees of access.

The closer you get to "true wisdom", the more "there is Zen between words and deeds"... probably that feeling.

The kind of people who are particularly good at words, long-winded, and eloquent, it shows that their hearts are not deep enough.

The "great wise men" they believe in are the type of "celebrity quotes" who are good at saying short but profound words, which can be carefully pondered and even comprehended. They care more about the "quiet temperament of a wise man" than saying what they mean.

To put it simply, they think that the Riddler is the most compelling image of a "wise man".

"That sounds really scary."

Russell complained: "Take 'hidden wisdom' as the appearance of wisdom. How many deceptive liars will appear here... It is not surprising even if there are some strange sects."

"That's true. There is a large-scale population trade in Tongshen Island that is even condoned by Shenzhi Heavy Industry."

Bad Day held up the meatloaf and took a bite, but the gravy that burst out didn't stain Bad Day's hands and clothes for some reason: "Isn't this 'synthetic man' hatched from the people who were bought and sold?" Well.

"Shenzhi Heavy Industry does not only pay attention to production, but also to research and development. The most efficient research and development is to bypass the safety process and conduct experiments directly on the human body; in the same way, because of the first consensus and the second consensus, materials related to the human body are also A material that is forever scarce.

"Of course, this is not surprising. This kind of cannibalism actually exists in every sky island, but the form and name are different.

"It is called 'idol trainee' on Happiness Island, 'period medical clinical volunteer' on Holy Blood Island, and 'exploration team non-staff member' on Yongquan Island...In this era, human life is the least valuable thing .

"But from another perspective, it is an eternally scarce resource. No matter how incompetent a person is, his internal organs are still valuable."

Bad Ri said indifferently: "You can be careful...

"Although being caught in Tongshen Island, you won't be dragged to shoot some underground video like Happy Island...but the process you face is probably similar to the process of shooting that kind of underground video. It's just more professional."

"I'm not going to get caught. Because I don't go down that kind of gutter."

"So confident? Are you... already thinking about how to investigate?"

"really."

Russell raised his head, looked at the bad day, and raised the corner of his mouth: "After all, I have acquaintances here."

Bad Ri thought thoughtfully: "A mage..."

"—that's right.

"The uncoded people of Tongshen Island are not in the lower city. They have a particularly high status here... I can find help from the mages, which means that I am with them. So I won't encounter too much trouble .”

Workers in Tongshen Island account for the vast majority of the middle and low-level population, and it is very difficult to expect workers to seek their own rights. It is very easy to invite retaliation and liquidation...so those "no code" can stand up and seek justice for their fellow workers.

They lose their chips, so they cannot send messages secretly with others, and it is difficult to be bribed;

They also have no money, no means of normal transactions with others, and can only live in other people's homes;

And as uncoded people~www.wuxiahere.com~, they are not legal citizens and are not protected by the first consensus and the second consensus. Therefore, if they take refuge in the company and are killed, there is no countermeasure.

This overwhelming dependence on other civilians makes them extra trustworthy—and the civilians are even proud of how many uncoded people they support. Losing the chip is not all bad for these uncoded people, at least it makes Shenzhi Heavy Industry unable to locate them, and they also have powerful spiritual powers and spells.

"Because of this, the angels of the church are not easy to speak here on Tongshen Island. Their situation is worse than ours. Even in the upper city, it is difficult to move... Their side is also a point of view.

"Ask the mage first, then ask the church; then ask the head office, and then ask the uncoded ones. They are all opposites. If you verify the information with each other, the accuracy rate will not be low."

Your words sound extremely outrageous...

Bad day couldn't help complaining in his heart.
