Chapter 8: The Wall of Sighs (End)

Dorothy looked here and there, but in desperation she had to take another shot, trying to get the conversation back to normal."I think,'Big Brother' has already expressed her point of view, but there are still some details that need to be added. Specifically..." She grabbed the ponytail on the right and thought distressedly:

"Well, to be more specific, it is the perspective of understanding the cataclysm. Let me talk about that period of history first, but I can only introduce it roughly, and I will elaborate on it later when I have the opportunity.

"The black plague was extinct at the turn of the summer and autumn of 2384. Before that, the outside world had become chaotic, and North America had stagnated for a long time. In the super cities, low-income people have been completely dominated by consortia, while middle-income groups have It is indulging in pleasure, the moral level is extremely declining, and the crime rate is rising. The'big brother' is completely disappointed in this kind of earth. As early as 2381, he began to build a closed world, trying to save enough civilized heritage... at least one That’s what I thought at first."

"But after repairing, the taste has changed. From the great Wenyuan Pavilion to the nostalgic theme park of Yin. How is this script so familiar?" Suo Zhongwu shrugged and said to the black oil in the sky. Spicy irony.In order to arouse the anger of "Big Brother", he deliberately ignored the goods, but pretended to be very interested and talked intently with the girl:

"Dorothy, I'm sorry to interrupt your introduction. I also want to learn about the history of the cataclysm, but one thing needs to be figured out first. You just said that the plague invasion occurred in 2384? Then why the closed world, Will the time be set to 2300 years? Is it because our big brother loves this time period so much that it is the most glorious era in the world on the 9th."

Dorothy shook her head, a hint of helplessness flashed across her face."Listen to me first. You are always so anxious, and your mouth is more poisonous than a rattlesnake—"

She was interrupted again midway.It was not Suo Zhongwu who snatched the topic, but the "big brother" who seemed to be a actor and was uncomfortable without having a sense of existence.

"World No. 9. You have actually been ranked to World No. 9. With so many parallel worlds, you still haven't made you humble. With so many parallel worlds, you can't even teach you to fear the black plague!" The shadows rolled violently. , Became more manic:

"The thing No. 6 wants to say is very simple: in the face of the disaster, the livestock in the outside world did nothing. As a result, the invading black plague was easily wiped out, and most of the organisms were also taken away. If I hadn't planned ahead and built it in advance In a closed world, this planet will only leave ruined walls and countless evil souls wandering in hell!"

"I understand what you mean." Suo Zhongwu glared back at "Big Brother" without showing any weakness, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails were embedded in his palm.He didn't brag this time, but he really understood the opponent's idea, although this idea was so arrogant and full of the stench of high-level giants:

"You feel that you are the world prophet No. 9, the only superman in the world who has escaped the low-level tastes. You think everyone else should worship you and become puppets as you like. However, such an otherworldly Perfect, why are you still helpless against the crisis of extinction, so you can only hide in the theme park and shiver? And afterwards, I still don’t repent, and I always comfort myself with nonsense such as "Black Plague invincible". Mr. Big Brother, I know that I am in my hometown. , What are you called?"

"When I get rid of the trouble, maybe I will study ancient Asian folklore." The shadows became thinner, and the sun was shining in the center, forming a white old man with a high nose, square face and monocle.

"But now, I am not interested in a verbal argument with you. You and the organization you belong to are very annoying to me. There will be no more contact or bilateral negotiations in the future. I don’t want your help, nor Will assist you."

Don't talk about the king of a country, even the waiter who works part-time in a fast food restaurant will not say such naive words that leave no way behind.Dorothy really couldn’t stand it. She first gestured to Suo Zhongwu apologetically, and then softly made suggestions to the employer, hoping that "Big Brother" could consider it for a while before making a decision, "At least another arrangement Negotiation. Just one time."

"You talk too much, number six." To the loyal servant, "Big Brother" not only didn't say anything to praise, but instead gave a contemptuous rebuke:

"I have given the order, and all you have to do is execute it. The senior servant in charge of diplomacy has been withdrawn. You will strengthen the firewall with him. From now on, you are not allowed to respond to any calls from the air-conditioning law firm. As for This Mr. Suo, lock it up first and wait for me—"

"You will only wait until electromagnetic shells, high-energy lasers and the latest explosive energy beams." Suo Zhongwu threatened calmly, as if it was just a breakfast recipe:

"Don't think that we are soft persimmons, which can be handled by the coward in the tortoise shell. Again, the time-conditioner is not an eggless coward like you. Not only did you dare to fight the black plague, but you never lost! Add chaos, wait to be smashed by the power of the wild!

He used a very old stalk, and no one in World No. 9 knows.But the self-confidence that he deliberately showed can be felt by anyone."Power? By now, do you think you have power?" "Big Brother" gave a contemptuous smile, and the monocle was blurred:

"It seems that I should teach you a lesson, Mr. Suo Zhongwu. You need to realize that you are small, and you all need to realize that you are small. To defeat the black plague? Try to defeat the closed world first!"

[The cowhide is blowing loudly, and I am not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue!Rotten boy will always only be brave in food stalls, really go to fight, and tear down your bones in one minute!

—— Suo Zhongwu originally planned to use these words to fight back, and he still used his home dialect.But as soon as he uttered the word "cowhide", the vocal cords suddenly lost their function."Big Brother" finally incarnates the authority dog, resorting to the most despised trick: if you can't say it, you can't speak.

If it is in the outside world, Suo Zhongwu can find 10,000 ways to deal with it. Whether he complains through a formal channel or asks a hacker friend for help, he can make this guy drink a pot.But here is a closed world, "Big Brother" has the highest authority to reserve, he can do whatever he wants without being able to stop it.

The dark cloud burst out suddenly, encumbering Suo Zhongwu in an instant.He could not speak or move, he could only watch his ascending all the way until he broke through the stratosphere.Before the storm began, the last word he heard was Dorothy’s angry protest:

"It's not fair!"
