Chapter 577 To Kill a Mockingbird.(1/2)
After the sound like the collision of particles, there was blood-colored light that filled the field of vision. The fuselage was shaking violently, and the surrounding temperature rose rapidly.
...The helicopter is going to explode.
After realizing that Sumingan's defensive shield could not be broken, Kaskinen Philo's first choice was to actively detonate the helicopter and die together with Asa Akto in the explosion.
In the bloody light, Philo opened his arms, and the stars on his shoulders and the golden emblem on his chest representing the deputy chief of the eagle and dog were shining brightly. He closed his deep eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was enjoying this kind of thing.
The high sense of honor brought by the act of self-destruction.
This noble spirit of dying together with the "enemy" represents "sacrifice", and this method of burning and self-destructing the enemy made him feel extremely excited in the last stage of his life. He seemed to have the meaning of life like a martyr.
"For the sake of mankind, I will kill this great enemy who stands in front of the future of mankind - Asa Acto."
He stretched out his arms and spoke almost with emotion: "The City of Measurement has gone through several generations of ups and downs, and now it has lost its meaning of existence and should be overthrown. Only this method can deter those idiots who have lost their blood.
Awaken those ignorant and shallow old guard.
I would like to be the pioneer who eliminates the disaster - a hero who should make concessions for the progress of history.
For the sake of human history, for the future of the city-state, for more survival resources and the much-desired freedom and power... you should understand my decision, Lord Asa Akto."
Philo stared at Su Mingan in the wheelchair. The bright red fire had risen behind him, like a blooming firework.
He took off the military cap on his head, turned his hands upward, and bowed slightly towards Su Ming'an:
"...I hope you will die for the future of Measurement City, City Lord.
The glory of mankind lasts forever."
Su Mingan remained motionless, with the defensive shield completely surrounding his body.
He is purely human, his gray eyes reflect the shadows of rows of cold machines, and there is no aroused emotion in his eyes.
In the stuffy air, everything seemed to be in a state of distortion. The cold robot in front of him began to become distorted and blurred, and the firelight gradually filled his field of vision. Violent trembling caused him to get into the wheelchair. He gripped the armrests and closed his eyes slightly.
.
"You would rather die with the plane...or kill me." He said: "It's really a 'righteousness'."
He knew that Philo's behavior of dying with him showed that Philo had already had the corresponding awareness.
Philo's behavior was not motivated by any desire for profit or personal desire.
One is that he is really "sacrifice" for the overall situation and wants to die together with Akto.
But the most terrifying thing is this kind of self-righteous "sacrifice".
—Everyone has good intentions, but they can create the most horrific ending.
Kaskinen Philo is a qualified MAN (moral type) person. Su Mingan's judgment of him is absolutely correct. He does have a strong sense of justice and morality. He can make decisions based on a vision for the future.
"Sacrifice" without hesitation.
…But this does not mean that he is always suitable to be a leader.
Without the maintenance of exciting and intense emotions and the passionate ruling structure, this kind of leadership that cannot see through gray and is always noble and righteous... will not last long. Sooner or later, it will suffer backlash due to its own rigidity and overly cold-blooded methods to reach the top.
.
Su Ming'an gradually realized that Asa Acto's eight-type personality governance... is really an extremely terrifying method of city-state governance.
- It makes blind believers foolishly believe, makes stupid people sober, reproduces the unyielding "barbarism" unique to Utopia, and makes pioneers die from their own disputes.
When extreme voices longing for beauty become absolute, no sane person can cross the hierarchy to expose it. As long as the perpetrators do not regard their actions as evil and think of them as a bright means of changing the world, the Dawn System will not be able to judge them.
Evildoers will even be proud of it, as long as they acknowledge it in their hearts.
Just like Nietzsche's words
[Man is like a tree. The more he seeks to ascend to heights and light, the deeper his roots sink, toward darkness, depths, and evil.] Good and evil go hand in hand.
Right and wrong are actually determined only by human beings' own "emotions". Machines only have the right to measure data and have no right to make subjective judgments.
This is a fatal problem.
Su Mingan stretched out his hand.
Even though he was just sitting in a wheelchair, even if he was intercepted by rows of cold and tall robots, his eyes were still locked on Philo standing behind the robots.
"A day when you won't hear what posterity says, Philo," he said, "I extend you an invitation to the tower."
Philo was slightly startled.
The next moment, azure light spread out, forming an arc-shaped barrier, completely wrapping them both.
In the cabin, a red light flashed, the temperature rose, and the fuselage shook violently like an earthquake - one by one
"Tōichi!!!"
Su Lin raised his head. In his field of vision, a helicopter fell rapidly in the sky and disintegrated in the air with the explosion of fire.
Rows of eagle and dog troops loaded with combat robotic arms and armed with firearms immediately noticed the movement in the air. The bionic human troops stationed inside the second ring area also moved as if they had been activated.
Under the coordination of the central command system, they quickly identified the helicopter model, passengers, reason for taking off, landing target, and the possible location of the fall.
Su Lin squinted her eyes and listened to the sound of rows of footsteps passing by the street.
"I feel a familiar breath. The person in the sky is Su Mingan." Xiao Ai on his shoulder said.
"We don't have to join in the fun." Su Lin turned around: "Now everyone's attention has been attracted by him, and we can just take advantage of it... Since the Dawn System is not an omniscient 'god' here,
Instead, we were held back by Tavi's invasion. This is our opportunity."
He put on a felt hat to cover his dazzling short, fiery red hair, and disappeared into the dark alley.
In the quiet underground laboratory, the blond Noel stared at the experimental bed in front of him.
Just like a chef cutting a cow, the scalpel in his hand passed across the body of the experimental subject on the bed, cutting it into small pieces.
The subject is a painless android who does not have human rights. It is an experimental resource he applied for. As a type 2 MAT (philosophical personality), he has such authority.
His white gloves gradually turned bright red, and several transparent threads surrounded him like a spider web, handing tiny silver needles, tweezers and other items into his hands in time.
After a while, when the bed was stained with blood, he stopped his hand, thoughts flashing in his eyes.
"We still need real human beings, and bionic humans of this level are simply not enough." He frowned: "But if we conduct experiments on living people, it will attract a lot of condemnation from the audience.
In order to do this kind of experiment, I haven't broadcast live for a long time... It's really damned that I still have to take their views into consideration.
Humanity is really hopeless. At this time, we still have to put our sense of morality first in the pyramid. Obviously this is something that is inferior to life and the survival of the race. Isn't it good to wait until civilization develops to force it? Absolutely.
To turn the spear inward at this critical moment... What a disgusting group of hypocritical defenders."
He took off his white gloves and threw them on the ground with a bang, blood splattering on his dark black high-top leather boots.
When he turned around, he heard a gentle knock on the door: "Ya Heng, something big happened in the Second Ring Road."
"What's the matter?" Noel lowered his head and washed his hands.
Outside the door, a woman with beige hair slowly walked in, her lips dyed as bright red as blood.
"Huh? Your clothes..." The woman pointed to his collar: "It's full of blood."
Noel looked down and his vision was all gray.
"Sorry, I can't see the color." He smiled and said, "Go on, what happened?"
"Someone seems to have seen the sudden arrival of the Lord of Akto City...[Eden] has already gone to respond immediately," the woman said.
Noel was nervous. He looked at his teammates' chat channel and found that Su Mingan had not sent any message.
... At this time, if no prior notification is given, it means that Su Ming'an is in a combat state, or in a special state where he cannot share news.
Something happened.
He quickly opened the glass sliding door and strode out.
The tower invitation duel barrier spread, shrouding Su Mingan and Philo. With a loud noise, the helicopter completely disintegrated and they fell from high altitude.
Philo stared at the invitation barrier of the tower that enveloped him, and seemed to understand something.
"You want to escape the explosion and fall in this way." Philo said: "It's impossible, Lord of the City."
He turned the pistol in his hand and pointed the muzzle at his temple.
With a gunshot and blood splattering, the respected deputy chief of the Eagle Dog closed his deep eyes.
…He chose to shoot himself.
He let go and the pistol fell vertically, and his figure fell weakly, like a fluttering leaf.
With the death of one party, the barrier of the tower's invitation instantly converged.
The strong wind blew in, and Su Mingan's white coat was blown up by the strong wind. He squinted his eyes, and the pressure from the fall had already been added to this fragile body shell.
"Xiko."
He looked at the helicopter above that turned into flames, and the body of Philo in military uniform that fell helplessly, and said in a calm tone:
"...They really wanted to kill me."
A blue light flashed, and the image of Xi Ke appeared on his right wrist. She had calm sea-blue eyes, did not speak, and just looked at him silently through the screen.
After the Dawn System woke up, even it couldn't say a single sincere word to him.
To be continued...
