It's a simple dawn in Baker City.
But something big happened this dawn.
The first android councilor in the history of Baker City suddenly held a rally and began a special speech in the central square of Baker City.
"In the secret, there is a person named Zero. He is trying to use my death to intensify the conflict between androids and humans, thereby triggering a war."
Loudspeakers beamed sound into the streets throughout the city.
Thousands of people gathered around the central square to hear this special android congressman speak.
"The reformed councilman, who was also a very good friend of mine, died in the hands of Zero a week ago, and Zero's goal was achieved!"
"Everyone must know about the battle between the android organization and the underground organization last night."
The android congressman was bathing in the morning light, speaking sincerely and expressing himself naturally.
"Why do those android organizations risk their lives and come from no man's land to the city? Of course it is to investigate the truth of the death..."
Through his narration, people knew about the existence of Zero.
There are many things I have known for a long time, and now I have a deeper understanding of this person.
The crowd is getting denser.
Many office workers stopped and listened for a few minutes.
More media began to broadcast the rally live, and people could see the rally on mobile TV and on the homepages of various social platforms.
Even the subway station's announcement began to ring with the congressman's voice.
"It seems that the humans in Baker City don't want war to happen, so there is such a large-scale live broadcast." Lu Wen stood on a tall building in the distance.
Dr. Jiang just told him one thing.
Don't think Zero is so smart.
If anyone in the world knows Zero best, it may be Dr. Jiang.
As Zero's former teacher, he knew his apprentice's character and abilities very well.
"Many people say that Number Zero likes to use conspiracy. In fact, it is just because his conspiracy is too simple and can be seen by others at a glance, so the conspiracy turns into a conspiracy."
Dr. Jiang's words echoed in Lu Wen's mind.
The most troublesome thing about Zero is his difficulty, not his tactics.
Moreover, an old guy who has been active for decades has too many things in his hands. A small painter can bring the fear of monster attacks to Mowu City.
Who knows how many other people like young painters he controls
"Here we come, the first human councilor is here." Yin June said beside him.
"So fast? Is there any surveillance? Is his arrival abnormal?" Lu Wen asked.
"It's very abnormal. The surveillance showed that one second he was sleeping at home, and the next second he stood up inexplicably and went straight to the venue of the speech."
"Your surveillance can actually see into other people's homes."
"Using the parliament's satellite, you can get real-time images of thermal imaging. This technology has been around for many years. Don't say you don't know."
Parliamentary satellites are used daily.
Lu Wen felt that as long as he was a technically powerful person, he could whip the parliament's technical staff to death.
"Interesting, this human congressman is probably controlled by Zero." Yin Liuyue touched her delicate chin, "If a human congressman shot an android congressman in public, wouldn't this be big enough news? It would be enough to make the bionics in no man's land People are approaching Baker City in large numbers.”
When the time comes, find someone to bring a human rhythm to the Internet.
For example, words such as 'if we fight, we will fight', 'if we want to fight, we will fight'...
There is no peace at all between the two sides.
on the square.
The android congressman also noticed the arrival of the human congressman.
He remembered what the two assistants of Dr. Jiang said to him early this morning.
"Zero's next target is you and your data backup. Leave the data backup to us. We will hand it over to Dr. Jiang. It is an absolutely safe place. When you give your speech in the morning, speak with confidence and pay attention to those humans. MP…”
The reason why he elected this congressman was to improve the rights of androids.
He would never want to see such a thing as war.
Moreover, the two assistants of Dr. Jiang also told him a very important news.
When he went from being unknown to becoming famous, all the processes in between were probably controlled by Number Zero.
This feeling of being manipulated from the beginning and not being able to control his own life or death made him very uncomfortable.
So he agreed to this plan.
He looked down and saw the first councilman had arrived.
So fast.
It had only been five minutes since he started speaking, and it was very early now. He had an impression that this congressman would not get up until eight or nine o'clock.
Could this be what Dr. Jiang's two assistants said...the human beings controlled by Zero
The android congressman was prepared to be shot.
"Number Zero is hiding in the dark and may take action at any time. This is a very capable person. He has the technology to control bionic people, and his psychological ability allows him to control ordinary humans..."
He looked calm and continued his speech.
More than ten minutes later, the second human councilor arrived at the scene.
Yin Liuyue stood on a high-rise building and said according to the surveillance video: "This person is relatively normal. He lives very close to him. After hearing the news, he washed up and made breakfast for his wife and children before coming over."
"He is a good man who takes care of his family." Lu Wen said.
"By the way, in the early hours of the morning, I heard Dr. Jiang say, are you a candidate for the bionic parliament in Mowu City? Then your name should be Lu Wen, not Sun Wei! Despicable foreigner, you lied to me for the second time "
"In a strange place, multiple minds are always right." Lu Wen explained.
"Thankfully I still trust you so much that I even took you to see the doctor!"
"Shall I treat you to another meal?"
"Okay, it's settled!"
The two of them continued to observe the movements in the square.
Although there is monitoring, there is no guarantee that there will be no blind spots.
Lu Wen is a bionic human, so he is the best monitor.
By the end of the speech, the imaginary shooting had not happened.
There are four human councilors listed as suspicious. The first councilor to arrive is the most suspicious. He is almost certainly controlled by Zero.
This kind of control is more thorough than Zero's control over the little painter.
The young painter at least still has his own consciousness.
In order to protect Bai Sisi, he chose to leave Mowu City on his own initiative and let himself fall completely into a dream.
"Look up the life experience of the first congressman." Lu Wen said.
"It has been found out." Yin Liuyue looked at the phone, "Chen Qiang is an orphan. He lived on the streets since he was a child. Later he was adopted by a not-so-rich family. The reason why he can run for parliament is because he represents the vast majority of people. The lower class can resonate with people.”
"Do you have any family now?"
"No, the family that adopted him passed away mysteriously. He hasn't started a family yet. In his life history, he didn't even have a love experience. He feels like a cold robot."
"Died mysteriously... Could it be another spinning top?"
"What top?" Yin Liuyue was puzzled.
Lu Wen told her about the little painter.
"Through false dreams, I have cultivated him since he was a child and have been inducing him..."
It seems like a very simple method.
But it’s almost impossible to do it.
Everyone is an independent individual, and it is impossible to be obedient and controlled by others unless there is some excuse.
"You mean, the people controlled by Zero think they are in a dream?"
"No, it's more serious. They may know that the so-called dream is reality, but some people don't want to wake up, and others can't tell the difference between dreams and outside dreams. They use dreams as an excuse. After all... killing people in dreams, no There will be too much psychological burden.”
The person they have an emotional relationship with is like the spinning top in Inception.
It can help them distinguish between dreams and dreams.
"So Zero wants to kill everyone who has an emotional relationship with them, whether it's family or love."
"Yes, let's go and visit this congressman."
…
…
Chen Qiang drove the car on the way home.
Empty home.
He is probably the loneliest human councilor.
Wake up every day, eat, go to work, pay attention to political affairs, get off work, and sleep.
"Chi—"
The car braked suddenly.
He's home.
Open the car door.
The flat road began to twist slowly.
The trees on both sides stretched out ferocious branches, and terrifying human faces appeared on the tree trunks.
The car behind him was dragged into the abyss by rotting tentacles.
He couldn't take a step back.
The green grass seeped with blood, dyeing the grass roots and blades scarlet red, and a putrid smell floated in the air.
Chen Qiang's expression remained unchanged, as if he was used to being with monsters.
He walked to the door.
Open the door.
Sitting in the room were two twisted humanoids.
One male and one female.
They seemed to be stitched together from broken corpses, coming from hell, weird and terrifying, looking at him at the door with bleeding eyes.
"The teacher said that two guests will come to the house later, and he was right."
Chen Qiang's calmness was within Lu Wen's expectation.
When the word 'teacher' appeared in his mouth, it was certain that he was one of the people induced by Zero.
"I'm curious, what does the world look like in your eyes?" Lu Wen sat on the chair and asked seriously.
The world in the eyes of a young painter is complete, but not artistic enough.
So he needs to go to the dreamland and make those complete things incomplete.
"It's different from your so-called normal world, but I'm used to it."
Chen Qiang did not change anything because of the arrival of these two people.
Continuing with the life he was used to day in and day out.
He took the loaf of bread out of the refrigerator, cut a few slices, and put it in the toaster to wait for the second baking to finish.
"Do you know he is using you?" Lu Wen asked.
"Know."
It was still a very ordinary tone.
"Earlier, the android started giving a speech. I hurried over, ready to execute the teacher's plan and kill him, but the teacher suddenly told me... I was exposed."
"So you were abandoned?" Lu Wen asked.
"Yes, but it's really nothing."
"So besides killing the android congressman, Zero has other plans?"
Chen Qiang did not answer this question.
He took out the toasted bread and started spreading peanut butter on it.
The smell of bread lingered in my nose, a foul stench.
He looked at the peanut butter on it. It was sticky and disgusting, like stirred flesh and blood.
So he took a bite.
"I can answer your first question, the world in my eyes."
