Chapter 100 Blade Runner

"I really want to use 'Ji Chu Shi Biao' (a famous Chinese text) to clear my head —"

After the three of them finished planting the fruit trees in the yard, Li Ge went into their dormitory and grabbed a bottle of yogurt to drink.

At this moment, Xiaoye, who was also slumped on the sofa, continued to complain in the same way.

Li Ge: "...

If he couldn't empathize with Sayo before, now, after experiencing endless cycles of Akaishi reincarnation, he suddenly finds himself able to empathize with her.

If I could have a copy of "The Emperor's Memorial on the Expedition" for myself, at least my dreams wouldn't be filled with those weird and fantastical things like domineering CEOs, school beauties, annulments, substitutes, and white moonlight.

Li Ge even felt that her dream was like the meeting room of the four street vendors.

Give me something feudalistic, anything is fine, but please stop with those short dramas and Liu Ruyan literature.

"Xiaoye, maybe you shouldn't. If you really get hit by that thing, your personality might be warped." Valerie seemed to want to advise her friend.

"It doesn't matter anymore. After you've swum in the cesspool long enough, you might have the same thoughts as me—" Xiaoye said. "It might be easier to cover up the memories of living in the cesspool."

Li Ge: "————"

Oh no, I need to clear my head, otherwise I'll be dreaming about some weird, endless cycle of red stones again tonight.

"By the way, why do you hate your world so much?" Li Ge asked a question he really wanted to ask.

Everyone has some attachment to their hometown. Even though Li Ge returned to his hometown and was hit by a double whammy from the Empire and the Heavenly Will, he still thought about how to open the door and go back, at least to save the people he wanted to save, and to see if the Heavenly Will could still save him.

Xiaoye's thoughts seemed to be that she wanted to destroy her cesspool by any means possible, and even wanted to completely forget and erase all traces of her hometown.

This reminded Li Ge of the electronic pets she knew from her previous life, who were like people trying their best to erase their past and fully integrate into the new world.

Although Xiaoye didn't seem to be that kind of person, Li Ge still asked casually, out of sheer curiosity.

"Are you curious?" Xiaoye suddenly asked.

Li Ge simply nodded, but Valerie suddenly exclaimed, "Yes, yes! By the way, what's your hometown like?"

Xiaoye remained silent; she had indeed always avoided her past and hometown.

She seemed to be desperately trying to erase her past, to completely sever ties with it, to completely sever ties with it in her life, and even to completely erase her mind, to completely transform herself into a person of another civilization, or even to be an ordinary person from the Han Dynasty.

However, when this question was laid bare before Xiaoye, her first reaction was to run away!

She seemed to be trying to get away with this issue by being cute, to escape her past, and to act as if she were just an ordinary girl who simply liked wearing a mask.

Just as she was about to speak to brush it off, she fell silent.

The image of the fat old man who burned himself in the fire appeared in her mind for some reason. Something called "integrity," which she couldn't understand at all, seemed to be attacking her brain, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Let me tone it down a bit." She seemed to sigh, perhaps realizing that this disguise of hers could do nothing but deceive herself.

There's nothing to be ashamed of talking about one's hometown.

"I live in an era where magical technology is booming, a world where everyone can have magical organs implanted, thus becoming a magical genius—" Xiaoye slowly began to speak.

She began to recount everything about her hometown, word by word, trying to think of things that were somewhat pleasant.

Valerie and Li Ge immediately sat up straight, leaning back strategically. Apart from Yi Lian, who was still trying to make money at this moment, everyone in their team was there.

Through Xiaoye's words, they learned about a completely new world, a world where magical technology is integrated into every aspect of life.

Magical devices are no longer rare in her world; even the most ordinary people can have magical organs implanted, and her home is filled with civilian magical artifacts.

Furthermore, all magical devices have been able to achieve perfect networking, forming a product called the "Magic Network," which theoretically connects all magical devices and magical instruments in the world.

Everyone is connected to the magic network, and everyone is a part of the magic network.

"Wow, isn't that a wonderful world?" Valerie exclaimed. "A world where everyone is connected, isn't that great?"

Xiao Ye rolled her eyes, almost speechless, while Li Ge slapped her hard across the face in an instant.

There was no real damage, after all, her magical armor had amazing defensive capabilities, but it was the shockwave that made Li Ge's own hand go numb.

"Don't interrupt, listen carefully." Li Ge shook his slightly numb hand and said. At the same time, he suddenly understood why the label "Natural Person" appeared on Xiao Ye when he looked at her.

Li Ge wondered at the time if "natural person" could be used as a label for a person. But now he probably understands. In a world where everyone relies on transplanted magical organs, Xiao Ye, who has no transplanted magical organs, is the "natural person" in that label.

Even more so, an extremely dark thought flashed through Li Ge's mind for a moment.

Magical organ, as the name suggests, seems to be a biological organ, but where does this organ come from?

Could it be that—

"Where do you think magical organs come from?" Xiaoye asked, glancing at Valerie before seemingly staring directly at Lige.

"From—other people?" Li Ge asked.

Xiaoye laughed. Although she was wearing a mask, the corners of her eyes and the muscles in her face showed that she was laughing like a fox.

"Yes, the magical organs were obtained from other people, and were even completely public knowledge," Xiaoye said.

Valerie and Li Ge fell silent in an instant. They didn't even need to think to understand just how many bloody and brutal markets and transactions could be generated by the magic organ.

But perhaps the worst thing they could imagine is nothing compared to the sheer scale of openly trading magical organs.

"I once knew a child who possessed a supreme bone, the most exquisite natural magical organ, which is one in a billion ordinary children, born out of extreme chance and mutation, and is an organ that is naturally free of any side effects and has an affinity for spiritual particles."

"Then their whole family died, supposedly from a car accident, but not long after, I saw the son of an executive at a cosmetic surgery company possess the same Supreme Bone."

"And those inferior magical organs on her father's body probably all ended up on the black market, becoming products for other people at the bottom of society to choose and buy." Xiaoye slowly recounted a story she had experienced, word by word.

Even this is a story she has embellished as much as possible.

Then, Li Ge and Valerie fell even more silent.

"By the way, my world has no countries, no emperors or prime ministers. The entire world is ruled by several super-large companies, among which is the Magical Biology Company, which developed the technology of magical organs and thus became the strongest company in the world."

"My previous job was nominally that of a sheriff, but in reality, I was specially hired by the Public Security Bureau to clean up dangerous individuals and hunt down assassins who possessed high-value magical organs, while also recovering the corresponding magical organs."

"In my world, my profession actually has a really nice-sounding name —"

Xiaoye seemed to smile again, but it was hard to tell if it was a mocking smile or a bitter one.

"Blade Runner".

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze. Valerie was completely stunned and stood there dumbfounded. She had originally thought that no matter what Xiaoye's world was like, it was probably just a world full of dangers where humans could only hide in fear.

At most, they'd be like the Datong Cult, secretly killing people and turning them into sacrificial tools, right?

But Valerie didn't expect that there would be such a blatant sale of magical organs.

Although Li Ge wasn't as surprised as Valerie, he still let out a long sigh.

If Li Ge lived in this world, what kind of person would he become?

Xiaoye has already made it very clear: it's a world where the lower classes kill each other just to survive.

To survive, you must learn to kill and seize other people's magical organs to make yourself stronger and richer. And when someone stronger than you sets their sights on your magical organs, you'd better pray that they can't catch you.

An absolutely mutually destructive society at the bottom is also a world governed by an almost absolute law of the jungle.

Should one choose to kill desperately to seize magical organs in order to avoid being killed and having their organs taken by others, or should one kill others instead?

Li Ge didn't know if she could survive if she didn't kill anyone.

"There's another point: not everyone can adapt to another person's magical organs. In order for the magical organs to function better and for oneself to have greater power so as not to be killed by others, everyone has to take or inject large amounts of immunosuppressants every day."

"Immunosuppressants, also products of Magic Biotechnology, are highly addictive and cause irreversible damage to the brain."

Li Ge fell silent once again, having fully grasped the operating logic of Xiaoye's world.

Capitalists exacerbate the conflicts among the lower classes, causing them to harm each other. They aggressively promote magical organs, implying that without them you will die! Therefore, in order to survive, people have no choice but to have magical organs implanted. However, using other people's magical organs can cause rejection reactions, so naturally, people also need to use immunosuppressants from the Magic Biotechnology Company.

It's as if the whole world is a giant furnace, and everyone else is just firewood in that furnace.

At the same time, he understood why this girl had once so equally despised all potions. When they were not yet familiar with each other, and Chong Lige mentioned the "Nine Dragons Power," she looked at him with the same disdain as if he were trash.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ge still asked, "If I may ask, what exactly qualifies as a magical organ?"
