Overturned Tower

"Film and screenwriting?"

"...It depends on the situation."

Bull thought for a while, and replied slowly: "If it is a special effects movie, I think their income can be higher. After all, this kind of industry has a high investment. If there is not enough return rate, I think its development will be difficult." Restricted."

But upon hearing this, "Year Progress" next to him interjected: "I don't think games are necessary—if the income of the game industry is limited, there will be an outflow of talent. The other Sky Island entertainment industries are indeed underdeveloped, so they are not as good as us." Live happily. If they come to check the happiness level, it means that the per capita is not enough. It is even more impossible for other sky islands to have better game imports than ours. If the game cannot develop, how many people will not be able to withstand the pressure, happiness Can't pass the speed test?"

"Of course it is to work hard and study hard. If you have more time, read books and learn a craft. As long as you focus enough, your happiness will not drop too much."

Bull snorted coldly: "My daughter is addicted to games... If not, I think she would have been admitted to Tianen University."

"Not always."

Progressive is a little displeased: "There are other temptations without games. You can fall in love without anything. Is it possible that only games can do it if you want to distract yourself? I don't think special effects movies need such a high income... just smashing special effects If there will be rewards, how can anyone seriously study the plot, characters and light and shadow?"

"That's because you're not tired enough," Bull said seriously. "When you get to my age, you'll know that sooner or later you won't be able to play games or watch plots."

"Then don't people who are not old enough not deserve to have the entertainment that belongs to our age?"

"—I don't think you need to quarrel. Because the situation is very simple..."

Bingshui interrupted the quarrel between the two, and told the truth lightly: "It's just because Mr. Bull likes special effects movies, and gradually he likes games more."

Chapter 32 Looking at the Earth and Looking Up at the Sky

After Bing Shui said these words, the room suddenly became silent.

Although the faces of the two cannot be seen, it can be judged through body movements that they seem to be vaguely aware of something, and subconsciously clenched their fists and straightened their arms, trying to resist.

The girl sighed: "Look, although everyone is in a state of no position. But everyone has their own cognition, preferences, culture, beliefs, different abilities, and different prejudices. If you are in the position of everyone If there is no position and no prejudice, then it can also be said that everyone has a position and prejudice-they no longer maintain their own butts, but maintain their own world outlook and values.

"Their asses are empty. After perfect justice there is nothingness.

"That is the nothingness of history, the nothingness of social relations, and of course the nothingness of people."

The corners of Bing Shui's mouth raised slightly, and the metal cuffs between her hands made a crisp sound of collision. She said lightly: "This is actually not an organization or a trend of thought at all. It's a religion.

"It's just that this kind of religion is amazing...the gods they believe in have no hands, and their history is neither theological nor humanistic. Instead, they advocate 'fairness' and 'justice'.

"You see, I have entered the veil of ignorance. I have given up everything I have to enter a state of fairness and justice, and I know a kind of 'ultimate justice'. And you are not willing to enter, then You are just a lost lamb who is ignorant of the truth... Do I have to be much taller than you, can I enlighten you? Do I represent justice, and you... represent mistakes and What about lagging behind?

"Isn't that a prejudice, gentlemen?"

From a gradual perspective, I watched the girl who was not a few years older than me, handcuffed in front of me, and said some words that made me feel confused...

He suddenly felt a kind of dizziness, a kind of weakness, a kind of nausea.

He remembered that Bingshui was indeed different from her predecessors.

She is not like Xiao Liuli, who can be friends with everyone; she is not as warm, soft and clingy as Bai Xue.

She always squinted her eyes, as if she hadn't woken up; she always didn't care about others' teasing and making things difficult; she always followed others slowly with her hands behind her back, never grabbing others' attention; she always Will suddenly say something very reasonable, just like now.

She has a tasteless charm—ice water is as cold as her code name, like a glass of clear, iced water.

But through this glass of ice water, it seems to be able to see a clearer world.

She is now violently kidnapped by them, with an explosive collar on her neck and metal handcuffs without keys. Outside the house are prosthetics with guns. Or kill her biological father...

No matter how you look at it, they are all in a desperate situation.

But even so, she didn't panic at all.

Instead, he took his time and explained the truth to them.She raised her head, as if looking at the sky through the roof of the hotel.

It's as if...she wasn't kidnapped by them, but invited.

Gradually, he felt his head buzzing, and his cheeks were flushed.Like a fever.

Bing Shui crossed her legs and said casually, "Of course, I didn't say these words, but Mr. Qunqing. He is the respectable gentleman I mentioned above.

"He is not just an idol or a hero, but a great man with his own philosophies and positions... I think this era will remember him sooner or later.

"Mr. Qun Qing once criticized this - the veil of ignorance has one of the biggest characteristics, they will absorb all kinds of theoretical weapons that seem to be usable from the fields of society, philosophy, literature, etc., and stitch them together to decorate their own personal Tendency to be nihilistic. To make yourself look like an invincible fighter, to make yourself look like you're trying to do something great.

"And then what's more interesting is that they collect these theoretical weapons, but they don't really understand the context where these theories came from and the social situations it applies to. So you will see them talking about all kinds of things, but the flavor of each thing is different. That's not quite right... The most important thing is that everyone talks about something different.

"In the end, they are just a group of confused people who don't know what they are going to do and where they are going, so they want to give up thinking and giving up their efforts. They don't know what the consequences of what they do will bring. Because they don't think. Because the 'discord' want them not to think.

"Ignorance may erase existing prejudices and bring a moment of fairness and objectivity. But ignorance itself breeds more prejudices—new prejudices born of ignorance.

"And what will the new prejudice bring about?

"—the answer is simple, and that is the new 'discord'."

Progressively stared at the ice water.

Although he couldn't fully understand what Bing Shui said, he had a premonition—at this moment, Bing Shui's words would be branded in his heart.He was more touched and ashamed by the speech of the woman in the tavern at that time who persuaded him to join the veil of ignorance.

The next moment, the screen suddenly rose.

It's like a scene in a movie, suddenly a layer of monitors is placed outside, and it becomes one-dimensional——

The image reflected in the icy water froze and paused.

Because delphinium opened his eyes at this moment, and pulled out the infiltration device on his waist.

"—I found it. Miss Bingshui doesn't seem to be very scared, and she is still giving lectures."

The cool voice of the delphinium sounded, giving people a very reliable sense of security.

"Transistor Holiday Hotel, 6 on the 6301th floor. There are two people guarding the door all the time, they are natural persons... The degree of prosthetic body is very low. It should be used to prevent intrusion. There are four people in the two rooms next door, and the degree of prosthetic body is high. It's like the security guards in Tian'en Park. There are six people hiding in the opposite room...all of them are uncoded users, maybe psychic users, and there are two most advanced automatic artillery turrets."

She glanced at Xia next to her: "The firepower is a bit fierce, but the situation is not critical... How about it? Do you want to call for backup?"

"Please be sure to call."

Xia said without hesitation.

"I thought you were going to say something like 'it's just the two of us.' After all you've had surgery like that, the average person would want to get the best out of it...I mean, 'Totally play their own performance'."

Delphinium smiled slightly, reached out and pointed towards the void, and began to shake people.

Xia was silent for a while, then replied in a lower voice: "Maybe it used to be. But maybe it wasn't just my body that was transformed by the operation... The pain itself was also a precious experience.

"Now I want to be more utilitarian. I just want better results. I just want to win, I just want to save the ice water. I don't want to show off, I don't want to be handsome... What I want is the safest and safest Ordinary, the most thorough rescue success, not a thrilling action blockbuster.

"I'm not a kid anymore. I don't have that heroic dream anymore."

In Delphinium's eyes, Xia with her head bowed... and the ice water with her face upturned that she peeked through the camera in the man's helmet overlapped in such a wonderful posture.

The two people looking down at the earth and looking up at the sky...

What an amazing pair of friends.

Chapter 33 The Mother of Ale

"Fate..."

Russell sat beside the malt wine, leaning to the left on the armrest of the sofa, muttering in a low voice: "What is the so-called 'fate'?"

"——I think it may be a kind of calculation. It is essentially similar to the weather forecast made by the annealing device."

At this time, the malt wine handed Russell a glass of cold beer with quite a lot of foam while talking.

It is exuding a strong malt aroma, and a fine layer of ice dew has condensed on the outside of the cup.

...will you pass me a drink?

Russell looked sideways at the ale.

The malt wine lady with the wine-red Malt Ears was unwavering, and smiled sweetly: "Why don't you have a drink, Mr. Ultramarine? You must have not tampered with it.

"This glass is... malt wine."

Russell tilted his head, stretched out his hand to take the wine glass in the malt wine's hand.

He didn't drink it all down, and he didn't just take a sip.Instead, he drank half a cup in a normal gulp.

Malt Wine stared at Russell's movements, a little surprised: "You really dare to drink it."

"You can see the future, and I can see the present."

Russell raised his wine glass and raised his glass to the malt wine: "Of course I can see that you have no hostility towards me."

"of course."

A gentle and intellectual smile appeared on Malt Wine's face: "I won't do things that are meaningless and risky.

"One of the most important things my mother taught me is 'never be greedy'.

"For most things in this world, as long as you have a certain amount of talent, don't be greedy, work hard, think hard, and study hard, you can maintain the most guaranteed success.

"If you have the courage to seize the rare opportunity on this basis, you will be able to achieve great success."

"Then what do you think is 'seize the opportunity' and what is 'greedy and aggressive'?"

Russell asked back.

"I do not know either."

Malt Wine just shook his head slightly in a lonely way: "This kind of thing must not have been seen at the time.

"You can't ask a person to be both bold and prudent, innovative and old-fashioned... A successful person who dares to seize the opportunity may succeed for a lifetime, or he may fail in the last thing, lose everything, and never turn back; And a person who will never be greedy and aggressive, and does not believe in any things that fall from the sky, will definitely miss countless opportunities.

"I would rather be the 'second person'. If someone succeeds, I will follow up; if someone escapes, I will follow up immediately. I am not like strangulation, I always want to be the one who eats meat , always wanting to be at the top. I just have a little broth to drink and I'm satisfied."

"But most of the time, followers like you will just take orders."

"That's because it must not be the 'second person', but the 'third person' or even the 'one', 'thousandth'."

Malt Wine smiled: "My spells can always tell me who the winner is... I don't need to take special risks to do anything. As long as I can stand on the right team every time, I can at least have a good life. No disaster and no disease."

"Is what you're asking for... just 'no worries about food and clothing, no disasters and no diseases'?"

"only?"

Malt wine asked back: "Do you know... For many people, this is the happiness that cannot be dreamed of in a lifetime."

"But not to you."

Russell said softly: "You have long been a big shot, haven't you?"

"Momentary success doesn't determine anything."

Malt Wine lightly shook his head: "The great ones may also fall from the clouds."

"For example, your mother?"

"...Have you found it?"

"I got it."

Russell was not so proud.

Distinguish between lies and feel emotions.For him, this is a basic operation.

"I knew... Qun Qing is by no means an 'innocent and pure' hero."

Malt Wine smiled with satisfaction.

She poured herself a glass of beer and drank it down.

She didn't look at Russell, but while refilling her glass, she replied casually: "You should know that only those born without a code can become mages.

"But you might not know... my parents were not uncoded.

"—I'm an 'illegitimate daughter'."

"But essentially, I'm a 'venture' for my mom," she said softly.

Russell raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

When he said this, he had probably guessed it.

"My mother wasn't my father's wife, or even his lover. Just his secretary."

The malt wine caressed his cheek, and said mockingly: "Because of her appearance and ability to handle affairs, she has gained my father's trust. But in the end, she can only be a 'secretary'.

"After all, it is a position of serving people, and she will not be considered a [big shot] in her life. And she wanted to be a big shot since she was a child, and she went to study the secretarial industry, just to be close to the bosses...

"Since she has a bright mind, good looks and figure, both IQ and EQ are top-notch...why can't she become a big shot?

"—she thought so."
