Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Let's stop this topic."

Rose said something, X nodded, and Gene looked at the expressions of the section chiefs and secretaries and smiled easily.

"You will know later, so we won't mention it for now."

"So now do you have any information or assumptions about where the rioters are?"

Li Chu asked, and X shook his head.

X intentionally left a hand, he would not fully support it. At least the AI's affairs would not tell God. After all, he is still a cooperative relationship with the AI. Even if he sells those riots opinions, because the AIs still judge that X is their ally, so there will be no complaints.

AI is not like human beings. AI only pursues its own absolute interests, and those who have interests in themselves will not have any problems as long as there is no threat. Even if the threat is an indirect threat, AI will only Respond to direct threats.

"Just rest for a while, I'll have someone bring something up."

Locke stood up and said, it was already 1 o'clock in the morning, and depending on what the gods wanted, including other section chiefs and secretaries, they planned to continue listening to what X said.

Michelle got up and planned to go directly to the canteen of the General Affairs Department, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Le Xiao lying on the sofa, already drooling from sleep, and Wu Lei beside her was still working.

"You take her back to her room."

Wu Lei stood up helplessly, dragging Le Xiao with telekinesis and walking quickly. Michelle looked at the two people entering the elevator with a slightly serious expression. What she heard tonight was too unbelievable.

The gods and this More than 8 billion.

This seems unbelievable to many people. The history of Brilliant City only briefly tells humans what kind of disasters this planet has suffered, without any exhaustive explanation of the past history.

Michelle once saw some things that she claimed to have heard from her ancestors, which were the conditions of some countries in the human world in the past, but gradually these things disappeared.

Michelle didn’t know why the gods were unwilling to tell the people of Bright City the past history. Perhaps it was because the people in Bright City were the descendants of humans with different cultures, countries, and languages ​​in the past, so those complex and complex things in the past were The meaningless things in Brilliant City were buried by the gods.

When she arrived at the canteen of the General Affairs Department, it was already crowded with people. During this period, the workload had increased sharply. Michelle went directly to tell the chefs to get them something to eat and drink, and they would have people come down later to get it for the meeting. Go to the room.

"Ms. Michelle, if you are hungry, please eat something first."

Michelle nodded. Originally she didn't plan to eat anything tonight, but now she is really hungry. She has been working all day. She should have rested originally, but it seems that she won't be able to rest tonight. Michelle wants it. After eating some simple things to fill my stomach, I sat in front of the food table.

People are always full of curiosity about unknown things, and Michelle is no exception. When she was very young, Michelle was full of curiosity and questions about this post-destruction world.

Michelle once asked everyone in her family, but no one knew about some things in the past, even her own family was a very old family in the history of Brilliant City.

But her father Charles told Michelle that everything they have today was achieved with blood and violence. In the past, this chaotic land was filled with all kinds of barbaric and cruel things. In order to survive, If this continues, civilization will become dispensable to human beings.

Even many people are unwilling to recall or mention the civilization before the destruction. The same goes for Charles's fathers. Charles told Michelle that a long time ago, Charles was just like Michelle, full of doubts and myths about the past.

Driven by his thirst for knowledge and curiosity, Charles asked Michelle's grandfather what the world was like in the past and how humans survived.

But Charles' father didn't want to answer, and even scolded Charles. At this time, Charles wanted to know more and more. As a result, he asked many people, and many people were unwilling to answer. Although some were willing, most of them just mentioned it briefly, because many things Most people don't want to think about it.

It seems that the world in the past was not bad. There may have been wars and famines, but it should have been a civilized society bathed in the sun. Charles's fathers already knew very well that they could not go back.

Charles also mentioned to Michelle that in such a land that is gradually becoming dark, some people become a little bit insane and finally commit suicide, because the era in this land is the same as the era before the destruction.

In order to survive, killings are taking place on this land every day. Even though humans have reclaimed planting land, as the sun becomes darker and darker, many people become more and more nervous, because they all know that there is no light. Otherwise, the crops will not survive, and the final situation will still be to fight against each other. Whoever can stand at the end will survive.

After its destruction, human society once became the same as the society of beasts, even more cruel than the beasts.

Now Michelle probably knows how the highly civilized and developed human society in the past came to destruction. What really destroyed human society was the human heart.

If all countries could really cooperate closely at that time, rather than for the benefit of the country or individual groups, this tragedy might not have happened. X has clearly said that the asteroid would pass by the earth slowly at that time. According to the level of science and technology, they have seven days to conduct scientific exploration and research on this asteroid.

These seven days were very important to the already overwhelmed human society at that time. However, it was during these seven days that various countries staged fierce battles.

The gods originally belonged to different countries and groups, and they also participated in the fight. After the violent explosion, the asteroid changed its mass, and then its orbit also changed, directly impacting the planet.

Fortunately, in the end, the asteroid turned into countless lights and shadows. Before the energy reached its maximum, the impact was reduced to a minimum, and humans survived.

In the following decades, human beings continued to disappear in the face of countless disasters. One country after another disappeared, and groups of human beings disappeared. In the dark world at that time, only this land was still illuminated by the sun.

After seeing all this, human beings can only come to this land. Everything is for survival. This is the instinct of living things.

Michelle felt very satisfied after hearing all this, because she at least knew the real reason for the destruction of the world in the past, and it was not caused by the misoperation of some idiot astronaut.

The food came soon. Michelle had just taken a bite when she saw Locke coming down.

"Get me five steaks."

As soon as Locke sat down, Michelle said.

"Your Excellency, have you eaten too much?"

Locke sighed.

"We will be responsible for organizing the meeting minutes later. The section chiefs and secretaries of other departments are still working and processing some documents. After all, tonight is too important for our Brilliant City."

Michelle nodded, and Locke asked for some more wine. After he took a sip, he laughed helplessly.

"I asked Gene a long time ago, is the world really destroyed for such a ridiculous reason as a coin? Guess what he said."

Michelle shook her head and Locke said.

"He said he was that stupid astronaut, and you should have seen that coin."

Michelle said in shock.

"Is it the coin that Sir Jean once gave to my mother?"

Michelle was very surprised and hurriedly took out the coin from her arms.

Locke sighed.

"He once told me that the world in the past was very bad, because people's hearts are the same no matter what era. A very small number of people control everything in the world and manage the world. For most people in the world, many things are the same. It doesn’t matter, because people’s hearts are always changing, so in the end, different people’s hearts gathered together and turned into a catastrophe that destroyed the world.”

Michelle hummed.

"Isn't this the same with many of our current problems!"

Both of them knew that history was repeating itself, and not just once, but again and again. Half an hour later, the two returned to the conference room pushing two carts of food.

Everyone was hungry and started to eat, but Alpha did not come over, but sat in the corner with Jean. Niya walked over with a piece of food, put it down and left.

"Eat Alpha."

Alpha nodded and started eating. Gene was still the same as before, but now Alpha couldn't feel any harshness in Gene's body. Instead, he felt a looseness from the inside out. He had completely let go of everything.

If it were in the past, if something like this happened in the city, Jean would be running around day and night, trying to solve all the problems.

"Mr. Jean, have you ever thought that that girl can really do everything well in the future?"

Jean shook his head.

"As someone said just now, I just randomly picked up a person who liked me like a gamble. I didn't think about any consequences. From the moment I let her take over, I already planned to retire."

Alpha smiled helplessly.

"Maybe I have some expectations, but I have no time to teach her anything, and I can't wait for her to grow. I can only say that everything that girl has done now has exceeded my expectations countless times."

After Jean finished speaking calmly, Alpha laughed happily.

"When I found out the girl's true identity, I was shocked at first. I couldn't imagine how you could do such a childish and ridiculous thing, Mr. Jean, but maybe you saw it in her, Mr. Jean. What!"

Gene nodded.

"It's true that I saw some things, but these things are all advantages that ordinary people have to some extent. Just like the CBV building was hijacked before, I was actually quite worried, but after seeing the plan that Mo Xiaolan came up with After that, I already knew that this was the only way to go. However, the fact was completely different from what I thought, which was really surprising."

Alpha finished eating quickly. Gene handed over a cigarette and poured Alpha a glass of wine. Everyone was discussing slowly like this. Noah was already communicating with X on technological issues.

The gods did not continue the meeting, but interspersed it to give some people answers to what X just said. The section chiefs and secretaries who knew the truth needed a certain amount of time to digest everything.

"It's a pity what happened to Fry."

Alpha said after lighting the cigarette, Gene raised his head.

"I don't know what to say. Maybe I have to face Frye personally and ask. If he is still alive, I hope to have a good talk with him."

Alpha hummed, and Alpha moved closer.

"That night I felt as if I was being manipulated. What that guy X said just now reminded me of something. Before I made a decision, I saw a shadow."

Gene smiled and said.

"Are you going to say something like ghosts or ghosts?"

Alpha hummed, recalling the many strange things that had happened in the city. The one that Jean remembered most was the casualty accident on the barrier and some bodies were found. He didn't know how these people climbed up the barrier.

This extremely mysterious matter is only known to the gods and a few people. Jean looked at Alpha, quickly brought up a light and shadow screen, and opened the record of this matter. Alpha looked at it, and she seemed to have thought of something.

"Once a group of criminals attacked Frye Mental Hospital. I found an eyewitness before. He was convinced that this group of people entered Frye Mental Hospital, but the group disappeared. If we want to investigate, we can only Some DNA residues can be extracted on a large scale, but it should be more difficult."

Gene thought for a while and then nodded.

"This matter can be investigated by Lillian and the others tomorrow."

Alpha continued to look at the information. These people were all torn apart and seemed to have been cut off by extremely sharp things. What shocked Alpha even more was that even atomic-level materials were cut off in their wounds. This seemed to Alpha Coming is impossible.

The most important thing is the remaining clothing, including some of the items they held on their bodies, which makes it certain that they are a criminal gang.

“What else is there in this city?”

Alpha asked, and Gene smiled and shook his head.

"No matter what there is, it can only be discovered by you. We don't have much time. I may have to go out soon. All preparations are almost complete."

Alpha held out his hand.

"Good luck Mr. Jean."

Jean held Alpha's hand and smiled gently.
