Fennelly "escaped" from Doc's house. He felt dizzy looking at the blood on his body. He actually killed Doc, so easily. "It's ridiculous, I actually like this feeling." "Why didn't the Quark robot make any movement? I'm already so abnormal!" Fennelly held the wall and kept shaking his head. He felt a voice speaking in his head. ——Go and kill, watching those lives pass away in your hands. ——You feel great, you become their master at that moment. ——Don't worry, no one will blame you, after all, you can say that you were affected by the asteroid. ... The low voice is like the devil muttering.
The asteroid is a weapon against consciousness. It provokes the instinctive evil of living things. This is not a disease that a Quark robot can treat. It is more like a confrontation between your subconscious and conscious mind. In the process of growing up, when your parents beat and scold you, you may want to fight back, or even kill your parents; if your teacher asks you to stand in the corner, you will hate your teacher very much when you are embarrassed; if you see a beautiful woman in revealing clothes on the roadside, the things in your mind are even more obscene... And so on, they just pass through your mind, which is not your real thought, but the desire in your subconscious mind. This is the most essential evil of life. It is hidden, and this heavy hiding is not a disguise, but because life is more good than evil. The consciousness of life is the battlefield, with two armies of good and evil. Most of the time, good has the upper hand, and the evil thoughts that are revealed from time to time are the evil attacking the city. The goodness of life and the order established by civilization firmly guard the inner pass and prevent the disorderly expansion of these evils. Good and evil are yin and yang. Without evil, there would be no good, and without good, there would be no evil. The Olive Branch Civilization has penetrated the good and evil of life. It uses the panic created by the asteroid to arouse the malice in the heart of life, so that malice prevails and good intentions are suppressed. If we want to be clear, then this is more like a silent hypnosis. The asteroid is the medium and the pocket watch in the hands of the hypnotist. Who is the hypnotist? Self! Life puts shackles on itself and reveals its own evil. Just as life can trust each other in peace, in times of war, this trust will collapse over time even if it is the closest friends, the most loving lovers, and even relatives. Fennelly is in pain. Because he still retains his goodness. This is just like when you are normal, you always have some evil thoughts in your heart, and this evil makes you feel sick. "Hey, everyone, gather together. I don't care what you are doing or what you have done. Enter the virtual meeting." Fennelly sent a message and sat on a metal chair on the side of the road. The metal chair has the function of automatic heating or automatic cooling, but now it doesn't work. Fennelly's body is very cold, but his head is very hot, and his body is like ice and fire. When the chair cooled down, Fennelly jumped up directly. He felt a deep chill wrapped around him, just like the moment when he fell into hibernation. After about 5 minutes, all the members of the virtual conference room were present. Fennelly also went in directly. He looked around and said, "It is obvious that you have done something that violated federal law over the years. There is no denying that officials and scholars are ordinary lives. Even psychologists cannot resist this subtle weapon of consciousness, and you are the same." "And I am the same." He didn't want to talk too much about this issue, so he just made it a fact and continued, "Now, let all citizens in the city transfer and leave Star City. We can't stay here anymore. The sense of crisis has made us all crazy."
After Fennelly said so much, there was silence in the virtual conference room. There was no response, and everyone stared at him. "Hey!" "It's useless, Intelligence Officer Fennelly, remember that I left Star City 38 years ago to discuss things somewhere else? At that time, I found that I was wrong, but leaving Star City did not reduce the malice in my heart at all. I went to see a psychiatrist, one of the best psychiatrists on the Silk Road, and then I killed him..." "At that time, I understood that I could not escape this influence. It had already taken root in my heart. Good can be easily transformed into evil, but evil is difficult to return to good. This is like order and chaos. Chaos is the root of life. Evil represents desire. How can life get rid of desire?" "As you can see, I'm back, because there are people like me everywhere, and there, I am out of place." "Intelligence Officer Fennelly, join us." The plain voice came, and Fennelly couldn't believe his ears. "Sigsilumo, do you know what you are talking about?" Sigsilumo smiled: "Of course." "I know very well that my life was so boring before, and now I have really found my fun, isn't it great?" "And when that asteroid comes and destroys us, all these sins will disappear, including us." Madman. Other officials and scholars around also echoed. "Yes, I used to long for living tens of thousands of years, but now I find that I am not suitable. Instead of living a boring life of tens of thousands of years, it is better to cherish the fleeting moment, even if it is only 10 years, no, even 1 year , if you are happy, it will be better than tens of thousands of years." "Intelligence Officer Fennet, it seems that you cried very sadly when you heard that your son died. This is the pain caused by immortality. You are like us, life here is not fun. In fact, We shouldn’t be here in the first place, we should be at home with our families.” "What is the purpose of our coming here?/There has been no movement in Star City for thousands of years, and we are just waiting so meaninglessly. It is simply ridiculous. I even seem to see other people cursing us. , Ha, we can’t even get any honor here. We have lost everything and can’t get anything. It’s ridiculous. We might as well just stay in this short-term enjoyment.” Crazy. Every official and scholar is under pressure. Thousands of years are too long for a life, and there is no achievement in such a long time. The pressure from the outside world, the pressure on oneself, and the grief of a broken family. , everything lingered around them, and coupled with the death threat brought by the asteroid, they collapsed! In other words, they already want to die in their hearts... Fennelly realized at this time that there was really no way to escape, and this curse was too deep for them. However, as the highest officer here, he has more pressure than these people. This pressure is called responsibility. "You can't escape, but citizens can. They may not be able to return to normal after they get out, but the federation will always find a way." "This is not an excuse. No living being can gain happiness by harming other living beings. This is the bottom line that cannot be violated." "Since you are hopeless, then... destroy it!" Fennelly passed the message to the Mechanic God, asking the Mechanic God to send all the citizens of Star City into hibernation pods, and pass the information here to the Federation. He also asked the Mechanic God to send robots to complete the execution of these officials and scholars, including himself. . Because he knew that he himself could not escape this influence, because he was in too much pain, especially when these colleagues who had worked together for thousands of years had become like this. As the highest officer, he also made unforgivable mistakes, so let this Let the mistakes be contained in his hands. Perhaps...death is the best ending for him and them.
