Looking at Commissioner Huang standing by the window, Jiang Baimian always felt that what he said just now was not for himself and others, and there is no need to say it to himself and others.
Indistinctly, Jiang Baimian felt that Commissioner Huang was using this to have a conversation with Mr. Zhang after knowing that he and others were communicating with Mr. Zhang.
Although Mr. Zhang couldn't hear these words, as far as Commissioner Huang was concerned, this might be what he wanted to achieve.
Similar emotions are subtle and indescribable.
After speaking, Commissioner Huang fell into a long silence.
He took the crumpled box of cigarettes out of his pocket, smoked one, put it to his mouth, paused for a few seconds, and then stuffed it back, as if he didn't think smoking in someone else's room was a good idea.
At this time, Shang Jianyao asked with a serious expression:
"When the old people like you die, will the Salvation Army still be able to complete the adjustment?"
Those who have seen the prosperous and impressive old world are definitely close to 80, or even surpassed. Even in the "Salvation Army", there are not many such veterans left, and, from the perspective of the laws of nature, they will definitely not live long. Years later, even if Commissioner Huang's body is still very tough, if he really suffers from an illness, he will collapse.
Commissioner Huang turned to look at Shang Jianyao and nodded:
"So our main work in recent years is to establish a system that adapts to the current situation and can operate stably without us old guys, and at the same time focuses on cultivating some ideal and brilliant successors."
Hearing this, Jiang Baimian was quite puzzled:
"According to what you said earlier, shouldn't it be more inclined to the pragmatic successor?"
Commissioner Huang raised his head slightly and laughed:
"This is a little bit of our selfishness, and we still hope that our ideals can be passed on.
"Moreover, an organization without ideals has no future, and no matter how effective the supervision method is, it is useless when everyone chooses a vulgar and degenerate organization.
"No matter how powerful scientific and technological means are, we must rely on human beings to realize them."
"This can be handed over to our intelligence, robots." Genova finally couldn't help but interject, "We will not degenerate, we will not be corrupt, and we can be qualified for the position of supervisor."
Commissioner Huang glanced at the silver-black robot, shook his head and smiled:
"Robots are also manipulated and controlled by humans.
"Robots that are not manipulated and controlled by humans are equivalent to real people, and people have selfishness."
"People have selfishness..." Genova's eyes flashed red, and he muttered to himself.
Commissioner Huang continued:
"We old guys still hope to see the day when our ideals come true."
As he said that, he turned his head to look out of the window, which was not so brightly lit:
"Don't you always think that my price is very hidden, guess what it is
"I can tell you now that the price I pay is the loss of a part of my memory forever."
Does this also cost? This price seems to be quite good, I can pack and sacrifice those things that I don't want to recall... Long Yuehong was moved for the first time because of the price of the awakened person.
It is not a good thing to have a good memory, and he is often embarrassed by embarrassing events in the past.
For example, hey, the genetic modification is only 1.75 meters...
Seemingly aware of the thoughts of him and Jiang Baimian and others, Commissioner Huang laughed at himself:
"When I found out that I could use a part of my memory as a price, I was in a similar mood to yours now: how good it is, it can clear the brain garbage, and it is not easy to be targeted.
"Unfortunately, I can't decide what to forget, and every time I improve, I forget a lot of things.
"Afterwards, I gradually understood the true meaning of a sentence in the old world:
"Those who do not have the past have no future, and those who forget the past will lose the motivation to move towards the future."
Commissioner Huang's tone gradually darkened:
"If I hadn't remembered the prosperity of the old world, remembered the oath and vision for the future made by everyone when the 'Salvation Army' was established, I might have been unable to persevere and chose to end my life on my own.
"I'm in my 80s now, and there are fewer and fewer things I can do, so that the ideals of me and those of my old comrades can be effectively continued is the only motivation for me to be alive.
"The current can be vulgar, the process can be pragmatic, but the goal cannot be changed.
"I hope that after finding out the source of 'innocence' and completely eliminating this hidden danger, after the industry has been completely rebuilt and the material reserves have reached a certain level, our 'Salvation Army' can practice its original ideal step by step."
Commissioner Huang's voice was raised:
"A better life in the future will surely be realized!"
Shang Jianyao put his legs together, stretched his right hand and pressed his left chest:
"For all mankind!"
Commissioner Huang also subconsciously pressed his right hand to his left chest, and replied with a straight back and a serious expression:
"For all mankind!"
He immediately waved his hand and laughed at himself:
"I, most likely won't see that day. Okay, you should rest early. You will be checked tomorrow morning and evacuated out of the city, just in case."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao answered quite quickly.
After sending off Commissioner Huang, Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and joked:
"Why don't you refute the words of Commissioner Huang this time, saying that forgetting your ideals means betrayal?"
When Shang saw that Yao was wrong, he recognized it and sighed unabashedly:
"I think what he said makes a lot of sense. You can't ask everyone, or you can't ask most people, as pure as I am."
Are you pure? You have ten personalities! Long Yuehong couldn't help but muttered a few words.
Shang Jianyao glanced at Jiang Baimian again and said:
"And even me, I often have to compromise with reality. The 'Salvation Army' makes a compromise, temporarily suspends expansion, and adjusts itself. I can fully understand it."
Huh, what do you want if you don't compromise, go to the room and dance? Jiang Baimian snorted.
She turned to chuckle and said:
"What Commissioner Huang said may only be part of the situation. From what he said, I can't find the reason why Mr. Zhang and the others were so excited to oppose that they thought that the top management was controlled by their minds.
"possible… "
Jiang Baimian paused and said:
"Maybe some high-level executives, even some elderly people like Commissioner Huang, have indeed fallen, focusing on how to make themselves a better life and how to keep their children and grandchildren privileged for a long time.
"Whether the 'Salvation Army' can complete the adjustment and not become a force like the 'First City' is still unknown."
Shang Jianyao had a solemn expression and did not respond.
Bai Chen agreed with the group leader's statement:
"People have selfishness."
Just as Long Yuehong was about to speak, Jiang Baimian suddenly said "Oops":
"Commissioner Huang said just now that the price for him is to permanently lose part of his memory
"It's very much like the 'Last Man' realm..."
After careful consideration, Jiang Baimian felt that it seemed normal for an awakened person at the level of "Spiritual Corridor" in charge of an intelligence agency to belong to the "last man" field, and it could even be said to be very suitable.
Long Yuehong also suddenly realized:
"No wonder I always think he can detect my thoughts!"
Responded promptly.
Jiang Baimian then nodded:
"He made sure we had no problem because he slid through our memories and found that he wasn't lying
"Well, just a little bit of panic over the minutiae..."
For this matter, Jiang Baimian didn't feel angry, but instead, he felt a little more at ease, with a sense of relaxation that had completely cleared his suspicions.
It will be more troublesome if you encounter people who are unclear and have no means to confirm, or who are determined to let the "old-tone group" take the blame.
How the follow-up will develop, whether the nuclear warhead can be found, whether Wubei will be blown up, Jiang Baimian didn't think much about it, and couldn't analyze it.
After the death of the person in Room 214, the "Old Tune Team" in the hotel could only passively wait for the results of the "Salvation Army" investigation.
They can be evacuated tomorrow morning anyway.
Seeing that it was getting late, and after leaving Genava to charge and watch the night, Long Yuehong and the others went back to their rooms and went to bed.
After an unknown time, Jiang Baimian suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Someone seemed to be watching her.
Jiang Baimian struggled to get rid of the dream and opened his eyes.
Then, she saw a pair of eyes.
After brushing the ground, Jiang Baimian sat up and threw his left fist.
Pong! Shang Jianyao clenched his fists with both arms, but was forced to leave the bed.
Only then did Jiang Baimian react. In the darkness, with the help of the faint starlight, it seemed that Shang Jianyao was quietly watching him.
"In the middle of the night, what are you thinking about when you don't sleep?" she asked in a low voice.
Shang Jianyao stood up straight, frowned slightly, rubbed his chin and said:
"I thought of a question."
"What's the problem?" Jiang Baimian's expression gradually became solemn.
Shang Jianyao looked up at the ceiling:
"I'm wondering if the shadow that tried to 'possess' me before came from the 'New World'."
He was referring to what happened after he touched the badge in Room 214.
"Isn't it discussed at the time? It's very likely." Jiang Baimian wasn't too close to Shang Jianyao's thinking.
Shang Jianyao's expression slowly turned gloomy:
"In other words, that shadow is slightly equal to someone from the 'New World'.
"Will this 'Doctor' who is also in 'New World' tell him about our situation here
"We have already killed a powerful subordinate of the 'Doctor'. You said, will he pass the 'assassin' this time, find this place, return to reality, and take action in person?"
