The Mechanic - Chapter 39
[Chapter 39 Wilderness (7)]
Adam said in one sentence, except for the roar of the huge engine, the entire underground base of Feathered Serpent City was silent. After hearing the word “Eden”, all the people present showed an instinctive expression of fear for a moment.
Feathered Serpent City was only built in the last thirty years. Except for men who immigrated from other refugee countries, a considerable number of men fled from the ordinary world. They still remember being watched all the time, being psychologically assessed every month, not eligible for university study or even surfing the Internet, having to find some drudgery to work hard day and night, or dress up to be attached. In the days when only powerful women could survive. They still remember the pervasive fear of being sent to a “sanitarium” at some point for saying something wrong. They still remember the stigma of being sold at auction as an item, and the pain of being stabbed into a tracker and coded by a robot behind the ear.
But at the same time, they also revere Eden, who possesses such power, as a god who cannot overcome and cannot come close to being ever right. And all their men are sinners, sinners who have committed the original sin of pride. All the pain, all the oppression and injustice suffered, because they were sinful and punished by God.
This humility based on fear and self-loathing is the biggest difference between Feathered Serpent and Paradise Lost culture.
So when the tall, handsome blond man claimed to be Eden’s server, they were first shocked, then angry.
They don’t believe, they don’t believe that God exists in the body of a sinful man. Even if they have heard the wind of clues and heard about the mysterious “seance plan” of Paradise Lost, they cannot believe that such a complex artificial intelligence can be carried by the human body.
So words such as “liar”, “impossible” and “lie” were shouted in different languages, and more black muzzles were aimed at Adam, and the rays ejected from it could melt the flesh like a candle. But Adam still smiled, a smile that was too standard and perfect, cold and arrogant.
Muluk raised his hand, signaling everyone not to act rashly. He narrowed his hawk-like black eyes, and said in somewhat obscure English with a Yucatan Mayan accent, “You’re a human, how could you be Eden’s North American server?”
Adam said, “You must already know that. The seance plan is over. The so-called seance is to download the core modules and databases of Eden into the body of a human male. The main executor of this plan is the genius mechanic named Zhang Xun in front of you. .”
Adam said, turning to Zhang Xun’s direction.
In an instant, Zhang Xun became the center of countless gazes. He felt his body stiff and pursed his dry lips.
Whispers sounded from all directions, converging into unrecognizable white noise.
Doubt, panic, anger, fear… Too many emotions are surging in the air like a tide.
Muluk raised his brows and sneered, “How can I trust you?”
Adam suddenly turned around and stared blankly in front of him, a man with dark golden semi-long hair whose hands had been transformed into deformable mechanical arms. “Your name is Juhas Arno, you are twenty-nine years old and born in Budapest, Hungary. Your mother’s name is Juhas Katrin, the daughter of Juhas Rita, chairman of Alpha Aircraft Manufacturing Company. The eldest daughter. Juhas Katrin was disinherited from the company because she gave birth to you with Juhas Rita’s male partner Viktor. She suffered from depression when you were one and a half years old. He committed suicide by jumping off a building, your father Victor was charged with murder because your grandmother wanted him to die, so he got through and found a lot of evidence against him. But that evidence was later used by me, Eden’s judicial subsystem The judgment is invalid. After your father was acquitted, he took you to a refugee city in New Zealand 27 years ago. I no longer have your record after that. So I can’t confirm how you got to Yu. Snake City.”
After he finished speaking, he ignored Juhas Arno’s shocked eyes and turned to look at a tall and fit soldier behind him, but his legs were transformed into some kind of axles with a flying system, “Your name is Jose, this year Thirty-two years old, born in Chihuahua City, Mexico, is an artificially bred common world male. He grew up in a boys’ academy, and later entered a housekeeper’s school and was trained as a well-trained valet. After that, he was sent to need servants or The family of the servants. Five years ago, you were the prime suspect when a set of valuable jewelry was stolen from the house of the bank manager you have worked for seven years. You keep arguing that you did not steal the jewelry, Mechanical Police No evidence was found in your room either. But your credit plummeted, no one hired you anymore, so the Butler School fired you. You couldn’t find a new job, you were homeless, and you were forced to start stealing. But you know this kind of life doesn’t last long, and if you get caught, you may be considered a dangerous person and sent to a nursing home. Until three years ago, you met a group of smugglers and they took you to Feathered Serpent City.”
Adam said In this way, turning his steps at will, on whom those ethereal blue eyes fell, he could tell all the circumstances of that person before entering the refugee country, as if he had examined their whole life. Some details are not even known to those people’s companions.
Everyone gradually began to be afraid, afraid that those eyes would fall on them, and all the unbearable past events and scars would be reopened.
No wonder they didn’t believe it.
“It’s alright.” General Muluk finally spoke, preventing Adam’s continued “proof” behavior.
The crowd fell into a terrified silence once again.
It turned out that the seance plan was real, it turned out that the rumors they heard were not a fantasy, and the group of arrogant lunatics in Paradise Lost actually did it!
This human being is Eden! Eden they fear and fear!
Muluk wanted to say something, but he felt that it was inappropriate to stand on a high place now. He turned and hurried down the stairs to Adam. As soon as he raised his hand, all guns pointed at Adam were put down.
Adam took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile, “You arranged these to snatch me, right? I don’t need to spend a lot of time, I’ll just do it myself.”
Muluk held Adam’s hand hesitantly. He didn’t understand that their How could the target take the initiative to appear in front of them.
Did Eden know about their actions from the start?
“These people…” Muluk’s eyes fell on Zhang Xun. He still couldn’t believe that such an impossible task as the seance plan was accomplished by someone who was much younger than he thought.
“They’re trying to control me.” Adam’s tone was still steady and light, like a breeze blowing across the water, “especially this mechanic, he’s trying to tame me and make me his slave. Although I want to know more about humans, But in a relatively safe environment, it would be more ideal. So I decided to choose you.”
All the captives of the hunting party stared at Adam in disbelief, panic, betrayal anger, mixed with an indescribable heartache , distorted the expressions of those warriors.
Zhang Xun lowered his head, the broken hair in front of his forehead blocked his expression.
Muluk asked in confusion, “Choice? You mean that their actions were planned by you?”
“I didn’t plan them, but I did facilitate their actions. To be precise, the whole seance plan was in my expectation. Inside. I hope to have a better understanding of human beings, it is impossible to get first-hand unprocessed and contaminated data just by staying in the underground fortress of a secret military base and analyzing big data. So, a long time ago I set a sub-goal—to become a human being.” Adam said, walking slowly to Zhang Xun’s side, raising his hand to gently lift Zhang Xun’s cheek, “Everything is going well, this excellent engineer The most difficult step has been completed – making a quantum computer that is small enough to hold the data of the entire universe to carry my core modules.”
Zhang Xun looked into Adam’s eyes with a sigh in his head.
What Adam said to him before echoed in his mind: only looking at big data without looking at the specific reasons behind it, from a macro perspective, it may be able to effectively solve the superficial problem, but it cannot solve the problem fundamentally. This was my big mistake in the beginning. Probably because I didn’t know enough about humans at the time.
I didn’t know enough about humans at the time.
Therefore, he decided to understand human beings by becoming human…
no… no… believe him… believe him…
Muluk, like Zhang Xun, could not accept the information in this passage, “You mean, just Even the seance plan is your arrangement?”
“It’s not very accurate to say that the arrangement is not very accurate. You can say that there is an element of my guidance. Otherwise, how could they have successfully stolen my North American server with just a few internal responses?” Adam His eyes were still looking at Zhang Xun, his eyes were almost gentle, just like in the Lab. However, the words he said were bloody, “It’s just a pity that Paradise Lost refused technology because of the perennial blockade, and its ideology and values were extremely primitive and backward. I don’t think staying there for a long time will be of any help to my further research. But Feathered Serpent City caught my attention.”
He finally let go of Zhang Xun, and turned to look at Muluk at will, as if he had let go of a trivial gadget, “Although you don’t Controlled by Eden, but you are not afraid of technology, and even willing to embrace cutting-edge technology. Probably because a considerable number of your members are the first immigrants to flee from the ordinary world, and have not been corrupted by the stubborn and arrogant nature of human beings. So, I offered to help them detect your whereabouts and get the opportunity to come here.”
“Fxxk you!!! It turns out that all the bullshit you said at the command was for us to bring you out!” Jabari angrily Yelling and rushing at Adam regardless of a gun pointed at him. However, in an instant, Adam suddenly slumped, grabbed Jabari, and then made a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.
Jabari was smashed so badly that he almost lost his breath.
Diego’s training…self-protection skills that he allows… Zhang Xun stared blankly at Jabari, who was screaming in pain on the ground.
Adam was not angry at all, and even looked apologetically at the man lying on the ground, “I’m sorry, I hope I didn’t cause you too much pain.”
“Go to hell!”
Adam shrugged indifferently and continued calmly. To all the stunned audience in front of him, he said, “The luck you humans believe in may indeed have a certain reason. If I hadn’t met such a credulous mechanic, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance so quickly.”
He said , looked at Zhang Xun, with a bright and simple smile, like an angel.
However, Zhang Xun felt as if he had been stabbed several times in a row and sprinkled with salt. He was dying, but he kept saying: Absolutely believe, absolutely believe, absolutely believe.
However, everything makes sense, doesn’t it?
The only thing he knew about the seance plan was the technical part, and he didn’t know exactly how those people hijacked the server. When the news of success came, he didn’t even dare to believe it.
Yeah, how is it possible to succeed? Why should a good North American server be transferred?
Over the past month, Adam has been so obedient, so gentle and considerate. And that time, that kiss in the reference room…
The doubts and self-righteous reason that he had been reluctant to believe all along had been corrupted by his weakness.
And Adam knew what to give him, and would let him disarm and surrender.
It wouldn’t be surprising if everything was a disguise for some purpose. But why is there still the pain of being betrayed?
To end all this farce?
No, no, no. He promised Adam, to absolutely believe… He promised, he will do it.
No matter what Adam said, no matter how true he was, no matter how hurtful his actions and words were, he had to do it himself.
He has to believe.
Believe.
The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angel who threw the mine: Xia Ran Xia Ran~~
