Chapter 127
Chapter 127
After the chaos, unexpectedly, the interrupted meeting of the high-level executives seemed to be going to continue—after arranging for someone to properly deal with the scene, Enoch looked around, and finally his eyes stopped somewhere in the rubble of the ruins. In the middle of the crowd, he pulled the silent black-haired young man to the ruins, bent down, and picked up a dirty folder that was pressed under the rubble.Le-Wen let out a "huh", the man shook off the dust on it, put the glove he took off under his armpit, and wiped off the dust with the gloved hand, and looked at the red pair of gloves. His eyes turned into a crimson moon with a smile: "Ah, isn't this my meeting material? I'm about to send someone to get it—so you're here to deliver it to me, brother?"
He squeezed Fushen's tense face with his hands, and smiled brightly: "It's really hard work for you."
If Fushen's eyes could see, he would be able to see how incompatible the smile on the man's face was with the silent people around him doing "cleaning work" after the unexpected tragedy happened at this moment: it was like a A test subject in normal operation... To be precise, this is what test subject No. [-] should look like.
"What were you doing just now?" Fu Shen raised his jaw slightly.
"What do you do?" Enoch smiled slightly.
"The collapsed wall in the lounge crushed the people standing under the wall, right?" Fushen paused, "I told them to go back to the lounge, if I didn't do it..."
"If you weren't here, maybe the number of dead and the number of people alive today would be completely reversed—the same multiple-choice question you have done before, Frigg, remember the question you asked Xiaopang in the research institute, About nine kids playing on a normal train track and one kid playing on a disused train track... you choose the other and you regret it."
"...Yes," Fushen said, "I shouldn't have chosen."
"And you have to make a choice. Too many people crowded in the corridor will make the target bigger. When the dragonflies invade, the crowd will start to be chaotic, trampling and pushing—even without external force, they will hurt themselves. Putting them back in that walled-off lounge was definitely the right thing to do in that situation."
"Will you do the same?"
"I would do the same if I did."
Judging from Enoch's voice, he probably smiled again at this time... Fushen sighed deeply: "Even if you say that, it still can't comfort me—it's not that you let those who witnessed the truth reasons for people to lie."
Enoch glanced at Fushen with a puzzled look, then he put on his gloves slowly, and said slowly, "I always feel that you seem to have misunderstood something."
"?"
"Did you care about what that crazy woman Lilith said, huh? Think I'm protecting you, protecting you, abusing power and using strong means to try to cover up the mistakes you made, so that you can escape the punishment of the rules?"
"What? I didn't—"
"I am."
"..."
"It can be regarded as one of the reasons, but there are other reasons. If you have doubts, you can answer me a question first-if those people know the truth, what will they do?"
"……How to do it?"
"Ignoring that you actually saved the vast majority of them, and then zooming in on the death of someone else - maybe someone will try to remind them of that in the meantime, but in the case of the vast majority of colored glasses, the meager debate will soon Get overwhelmed and disappear, and in the end, you're savior-turned-murderer, as if you purposely let those people into the break room and stand under the wall just to kill them."
Fu Shen was a little startled when he heard that——
Although he felt that Enoch was exaggerating, what if such a thing really happened?
How should he defend himself?
...Probably no one will listen to him seriously, and all rebuttals will turn into sophistry.
Fushen's silence made Enoch very satisfied. He realized that his words had worked, so he decided to add embellishment: "If you let them know the truth, they will start to blame you, and they may even start to blame other test subjects. ——Including me, and most of the test subjects are in important positions, which will make our originally smooth work unnecessary and add a little hidden danger."
Enoch tapped Fushen's head with the folder in his hand, and continued: "So, just out of consideration for the stability of people's hearts-sometimes sacrifices are inevitable in the process of performing tasks, which is inevitable. Yes, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that it is actually not a big deal, but in order to prevent people in the crowd who have brains that can never turn a corner from lowering everyone's IQ, it is also a good idea to simply keep everyone in the dark way."
slap.
The folder changed its direction, and it was placed on Fushen's head with no seriousness.
Fushen raised his hand to take it down, and at the same time heard Enoch say, "Do you understand?"
"what?"
"People cannot be resurrected from the dead, and when the truth and honesty have no benefit to the outcome, we choose concealment and lies."
"..."
"This matter ends here, and the result is as I announced just now, everyone—including you, Frigga, it is best to forget about those unnecessary processes, and there is no need for two versions of an event. "
After the conversation, Enoch didn't give Fushen any more chances to argue, but ordered his subordinates to send him back to the room - Fushen didn't know who this person was at first, only that she was a woman , because she has the habit of wearing high heels, this voice made Fushen feel familiar.
Before the giant dragonfly invaded, he also heard the sound of high heels, but now that he thought about it carefully, it was very strange that after the incident, there was no one around who "should be nearby" or "can be of great help" besides him. Super Soldier -
The ones who walk around in high heels in this cold weather are, of course, super soldiers.
"Here, your room." The man stretched out his hand and opened the door for God Fu.
"Lika?" God Fu was a little surprised, "It's you?"
"it's me."
"But how come—"
"I'm now Mr. Enoch's administrator, or you can say it's his secretary. I'll take care of some trivial matters for him so that he can work with peace of mind."
trivia.
Hmm, does that sound like something?
Fushen was not angry, although he didn't have much affection for the girl who had cheated him, but politeness prevented him from entering the room and slapping the door on her face, even though he really wanted to: "I Thought you'd stay and work with wolves."
There was no response to Fushen's words, and the surroundings fell into silence. Just as he felt a little embarrassed, he heard Lika say, "I proposed it, but he rejected it."
"Oh? Oh..." Fushen wanted to look regretful, but he felt that he had probably failed.
"He is an excellent leader. I suspect that after the first nightmare, no one can get close to him again. All his emotions seem to be left in the ruins of the research institute containing the remains of his former subordinates. He is a man more like a test subject than a test subject—”
"……Oh."
Fu Shen nodded, stepped into his room, turned his head and was about to thank Lika for sending him back, but heard her say in a very soft voice: "But he didn't mention Mr. Enoch's decision today. objection."
"What?" Fu Shen was taken aback.
"Those, lies made up to protect you."
"……what?"
"He once even ran to the frozen convenience store, through the thick ice, just to get a whole bottle of drink, we all wondered what he did it for, and then I saw him coming back, I gave you that bottle of drink as a personal item..."
"????"
"In the environment at that time, all the spoils of the super soldier belonged to everyone—in other words, his behavior was against the rules."
"So?" God Fu couldn't understand more and more what Lika was talking about, he almost forgot, after all, it was just a can of drink.
"Don't you understand?" Lika's voice became softer, "We have worked hard to establish a system of rules and regulations that seem to be good for everyone, and for you, whether it is Mr. Enoch, the wolf, or something else People—everybody is making concessions for you."
Fu Shen felt as if he understood a little bit.
Lika asked, "Why?"
Fu Shen couldn't answer.
Lika chuckled lightly.
Fushen felt that what she actually wanted to ask was "why" - of course, no matter how hard he asked, he still couldn't answer, and he couldn't even feel Lika's emotions, nor would he feel guilty about it or anything else: Because Fushen didn't think he had gained any benefits from the above-mentioned behavior.
In fact, he didn't care at all whether those people wanted to blame him for the crimes of the people crushed to death by the wall - of course he didn't want to take the blame, but if he couldn't explain it...
That's nothing.
Fushen was a little tired of this topic, so he tried to close the door—but the door handle was grabbed from the outside, and Lika's voice sounded again: "For today's events, for those who died because of you, what do you have? Don't you feel sorry at all?"
"..."
"Or are you refusing to answer?"
"Those people didn't die because of me."
"That means you're not sorry."
"I'm just sorry."
"..."
After a few seconds of silence.
Lika simply said "I see", and then he took the initiative to close the door from the outside——
So far, God Fu thought it was just an unpleasant conversation after an unpleasant day and an unpleasant event.
Until a few days later, he accidentally heard some gossip, such as——
A certain test subject didn't feel the slightest apology for the casualties caused by the invasion of ancient creatures a few days ago, even though he was there at the time.
At that time, Fushen was a little confused, and his mind was full of: I am really a fucking dog.
