Overturned Tower

"I saved your life back then, is that how you repay me?"

"I know, so I'm planning to change tasks with you..."

"Then I took on an opposing mission and was swept into a sieve by more than 100 guns?"

"That's none of my business, you can't meet me. Everyone is like this..."

The two looked like they were about to quarrel again.

The godfather interrupted slowly, "Actually..."

Seeing that the two became quiet again, he looked at the white-haired man and said, "You're not just angry because you were robbed of the task. You're just venting your anger, right?

"Or, you are panicking and confused... You have realized that you and these mercenaries who are united with the organization are irresistible.

"You don't think from the bottom of your heart that your old friend snatched your mission and caused trouble for yourself. Rather, as a lone mercenary, you think that your brother betrayed you-betrayed the 'only act as a mercenary' mode', huh?"

Huskies remained silent and did not refute.

Although I was very upset, there was really no reason to refute.

Because what the godfather said was exactly what he thought deep in his heart.

Instead of being angry, he felt a strong sense of identity.

If his eyes hadn't been transformed into prosthetic bodies, he might have burst into tears when he saw his confidant.

The godfather said slowly: "Objectively speaking, this new employment model has indeed directly disrupted the entire market.

"After all, many mercenary missions are confrontational."

Generally, when two companies are in a business war, they will hire different mercenary organizations, with one side attacking and the other defending.

This is much cheaper than finding a professional security company, and the price-performance ratio is also high.

After all, all the security guards can hold are non-lethal security weapons, which are definitely not as good as mercenaries.

And when one side's mercenaries are a Qingrui team composed of three or four people, and the other side directly shoots more than 50 people with more than 50 guns, and there are twenty or thirty psykers mixed in... In fact, there is no need to fight. up.

Even if the combat experience is different, the difference in the number of people is too great.

"As for the mercenaries who have suffered a lot, if they can survive in the end, they will definitely do the same in the end after struggling painfully."

Godfather prophesied.

A subtle sarcasm appeared on his face: "So, we can see... the intervention of the angels in the lower city has actually caused the security environment in the upper city to become chaotic.

"The criminal actions that those organizations initiated during the daytime, only for revenge, for fun, etc., have now become profit-driven, purposeful and organized crimes. The danger can be said to be as follows The child has grown a lot."

The beagle was terrified.

Inside the "Eternal Tribulation of Reincarnation", they never regard their deception, bribery, and fraud as evil.Rather, it is regarded as an "anti-hero" behavior that "accelerates the reconstruction of the world with chaos"... From another perspective, they are also just.

Although they are all smart people, they know very well that these are all nonsense and excuses...

But no one dared to stand upright and say, "We are going to do bad things, we are doing bad things, and we have done bad things."

However, the godfather did not shy away from calling this behavior "evil".

The Godfather ruthlessly disassembled those acts in the name of justice as "revenge" and "fun" and judged them as "criminal acts".

On the one hand, Beagles are intimidated by it.

But on the other hand...he also felt inexplicably happy.

It's like chewing chili peppers, feeling exhilarated while being painful.

—Someone should have ripped the cloth a long time ago!

Chapter 24 The Words of the Godfather

They are villains.

A villain through and through, an unpardonable sinner.

There is no need to cover up the "Heart of Justice" at all, and there is no need to compete with the upper city for the title of "Justice"... because that is what they can't win anyway.

How can you tell others what you don't even believe in yourself?

But from another point of view...

If they are people from the upper city, rebuke them as unrighteous people.He also gets angry.

Because he'd feel attacked by them as part of the Lower Town.

Although what the other party said was correct, it didn't prevent him from feeling angry because he was attacked.

Only Godfather.

He's part of the lower town.

And he's not a loser, needing no whining - he's unquestionably the power man, the real King of Downtown.

He uprightly stated that their every move was evil.

Those words are like a spring in the desert.quenched his thirst.

On the other side, Husky also felt very agreeable.

Although he hasn't been beaten up by the "new mercenary" for the time being, he is already aware of this.

The way of life of mercenaries has been changed.

And it all started after the angel came.

...Although the angels said they wanted to destroy the criminal organizations in the lower city, it turned out that they, the mercenaries fighting alone, were the first to bear the brunt.

In the end, those organizations sucked the blood of the mercenaries and became stronger instead.

Why is this again?

He raised his own doubts.

The godfather crossed his hands and put his fingers on his knees, and calmly answered his confusion: "It didn't come from an accident."

"Are you saying...that it is inevitable?"

"It's an 'evolution.'"

said the godfather.

The lower city will inevitably form a group, the mercenaries will inevitably be attacked by angels, and they will inevitably join the organization.

And once mercenaries join the organization, they will inevitably bring some things that they are inconvenient to obtain to the organization, and take other uncoded people on missions together.

"Everything is predestined. Even if there were no angels, we would end up like this... The only role angels play is to bring acceleration."

The godfather said slowly: "Because it is human nature that decides all of this."

"human nature?"

"That's right. The human nature of the uncoded, the human nature of the high-level organization, the human nature of the mercenaries... the human nature of the residents of the upper city, the human nature of the company's high-level people. Everything makes this ending inevitable.

"There's oppression uptown. And there's bound to be downtown.

"Uncoded people are not inferior to coded people. In the same way, they are not nobler than coded people.

"Uptown isn't the only place where 'companies' exploit workers, Lower Town is a happy place.

"Sooner or later, there will be a company belonging to them in the lower city. There was no such thing before, just because they couldn't find the way. The uncoded organization, which is purely a combination of violence and authoritarianism, is easier to cross this line than a company.

"The company still needs to slowly test and eliminate the resistance of employees step by step. But these uncoded organizations in the lower city don't need it-they only need to threaten death.

"Because they are barbaric. They are criminals. They are not 'civilized' enough, and they don't need the pretense of 'righteousness' and 'reason'. They didn't need any benefits or any Excuse; then now, they unite you mercenaries to squeeze those ordinary uncoded people, and they don't need any excuses either.

"The threat from the angels has instead become a boost to their growth—if you don't accept their terms, go out and fight against the angels alone."

In front of Grandma Lan, in front of those two girls.

The godfather said these dangerous words without hesitation.

No matter if you are in the upper city or the lower city, you will find it dangerous and unacceptable to hear it... the truth.

"...Didn't the angel help them in turn?"

The white-haired mercenary replied in disbelief.

"It's hard to understand, but it's true."

The godfather chuckled: "Because angels are also bound.

"The church is not clean. They are also mortals, and they also have a desire for power... To take a step back, even if they have no selfish intentions, it does not mean that they will not make mistakes.

"Everyone is different. Their lives are different, their personalities are different, and their ideas will be different. One person thinks it's good to do this, and another person thinks it's good to do that... Both of them are altruistic, but that doesn't mean they don't Will conflict. Greed has nothing to do with talent, talent has nothing to do with achievement. Even momentary success has nothing to do with final results...

"When the church froze the angels, this decision can be said to guarantee the continuation of the church. It will not trigger a new war on the sky island.

"But now you see it too. The angels and the church are essentially opposites.

"The angels are trying to get out of the church's control, and the church wants to use the angels and fear them at the same time."

The godfather looked at the two of them and said slowly: "The angels of today are you in the future.

"When the lower city becomes stable, they will have credit with the middleman. Then do you really need you mercenaries?"

Hearing this, the two mercenaries suddenly felt chills in their hearts.

no doubt……

At that point, they're either fully integrated into the organization.Or it will be cleared by the organization and replaced.

"...So, do you want us to refuse the cooperation of those organizations?"

The Beagle mercenary asked quickly.

He was also vaguely aware of this future, but he didn't really realize how big the problem was until the godfather said it.

"Why refuse?"

asked the godfather.

The two were stunned.

The blue-haired youth sighed: "You still don't have your own thinking.

"I said above... temporary achievements have nothing to do with the final result. At this moment, the entire plan and the entire future they conceived are based on what they have seen and come into contact with.

"But what if...the situation in the future changes?"

No questions were asked for the two of them.

The godfather went on to say: "To this day, we human beings still retain the nature of beasts, and the fragile ones will be preyed on and killed mercilessly. The laws of nature are not completely inapplicable just because we have two arms.

"They're doing it because the angels aren't putting enough pressure on them right now; if the church is using the angels, it's because the corporations aren't putting enough pressure on them. There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal allies... as long as the strong When the weak relationship changes, the old community relationship will also change accordingly.

"In the final analysis...whether in the upper city or the lower city, whether there is an identification code, whether the power you have is holy rank or psionic power, what is the difference?

"In the beginning, the residents of Uptown thought the church was good. Because the church helped them and didn't expect anything in return.

“Right now, people in Uptown think the church is bad. Because the church does raise their prices, muddle things, make their lives more dangerous.

"In less than a month, attitudes can change dramatically. Just because the church is helping or hurting them.

"So, what about the angels? After being frozen by the church for so long, can they really stand with the church?"

The godfather sighed.

He spread his hands, and said slowly: "What we have to do is not just to keep the lower city alive...after all, who are we talking about to keep the lower city alive?

"The most people in the lower city? Then they are in the criminal organization.

"Is it the wise and strong people in the lower city? Then they are the top of the organization.

"Innocent people in the lower city? Then they don't have any organization, they are all free people or mutual aid organizations.

"Is it the most persecuted people in the lower city? Then they are already dead, killed by other uncoded people.

"It is the veil of ignorance who is willing to take revenge on the upper city; it is you mercenaries who do not want to mix with those criminals and want to return to the upper city to live in the upper city; it is just that Hope to live a safe life comes from those who were born without an ID number."

The godfather's eyes were deep, even compassionate.

"Who will unite you?

"Can you be integrated?"

The answer is self-evident.
