After Deng Huailing finished speaking, she let go of Rosie's hand and retreated out of the camera range.The indicator light on the hologram lighted up, the red light flashed, and the light beam, illuminated by the sun so hard to see the color, scanned Rosie's body, and the captured image data was transmitted to the video stream, and the signal was sent to the twelve seats.All available holographic projectors and normal screens in dungeons.

It happened to be ten o'clock in the morning, and the people in the dungeon were busy in their respective workplaces. When they heard the news that the leader was going to give a speech, they all stopped their work and straightened up to look at the nearest screen.

Rosie has given many speeches since she became the leader again, but this time there is no longer a monotonous voice, but also a picture. In the golden autumn, the leader in pure white military uniform is sitting in the cemetery, and the autumn wind blows through his black hair.With long hair and a long-lasting mysterious appearance, he appears in front of the public.

The people in the second district were surprised to find that it was an overly beautiful face, so beautiful that it was a bit weak, and it was very different from the leader they imagined.Based on the calm and steady voice in the past, everyone guessed that Rosie should be a calm and tough officer. As a leader, how can she have a weak and deceitful face?

Whispering voices spread among the crowd.Rosie raised her head, with a trace of confusion remaining on her face: "I..."

Immediately, the vague word blared from every speaker, echoing over the dungeon.Although the tone is still as smooth as ever, with this beautiful face, it seems less convincing than before.

After he finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds as if he forgot the words. In the tormented silence, the mood of the people changed from doubts when they first saw the appearance to sweating for Rosie.Everyone thought that Rosie was so nervous that he forgot the script. Only Rosie and Deng Huailing knew that he had no script to forget, and all the previous preparations had been erased.

However, Deng Huailing stood behind the camera and in front of Rosie, still wearing a casual and relaxed smile—as if Rosie was silent from the beginning to the end, unable to compose a word, he would still like and worship each other; even if the gods were lostDespite all the believers, he will still hold the candle high and walk towards the fallen god in the darkness, supporting him and walking side by side.

"Good morning everyone, I'm Rosie." In the eyes of the public, Rosie suddenly smiled inexplicably, and said the familiar opening words, and the delicate temperament on her face instantly changed to self-confidence and calmness.Although it still has the same appearance, it exudes a sharp and bright beauty, like a ball of dancing flames wrapped in ice, if you try to touch it, you will be burned by the cold air and high temperature.

"Some of you may have seen my face in Robert's live speech, but most of you should be very unfamiliar with this face, so let me introduce myself. As you can see, I am an 'art'Leader, number one enemy of Cecina's government."

——It’s like being reborn.The people stared at the arrogant young man in amazement, but this Rosie was more in line with their impression of the leader.The light in those eyes is not aggressive, but it makes people want to obey involuntarily.

Seeing that the progress was going well, Deng Huailing smiled reassuringly, left the filming scene, boarded the off-road vehicle parked next to the cemetery, and connected to the command channel.After the live broadcast started, Robert might send troops to attack at any time. Even if the android army didn't arrive in time, the missiles would be intercepted by Rose, but there was more than enough time to send out a few bombers.

"In the past, I didn't show up in public because I wanted to reserve some private space for myself. After completing the work of the leader, I wanted to have my own life. As for why I chose to meet with you at this time... because from the early morning of this morning,The war has already begun, I never expected the war, but I can't stop it."

Rosie spoke calmly, with clear and steady sentences, "In the face of a brutal war, my private life is not that important. If the second district lacks a spiritual leader at this critical moment, I am willing to lead the way with sincerity and courage, and let the bloody battleThe warriors who killed saw that they did not shed blood for a high name."

"I will always stand by your side. Your safety is my glory. I promise to lead you to victory; I promise that if I lose the battle, I will be the first person to be buried for the second district. Once I win, I willThe last to celebrate when the fighters are safely reunited with their families; I promise I will fight day and night for the survival of Sector Two until the end of my life."

His words echoed powerfully in everyone's heart, especially those who lived through Rosie's glorious ten years ago, many of them were elderly, and tears welled up in their eyes when they heard them.They understood that Rosie's words were not slogans, but oaths. During the bloody Christmas, the leader had voluntarily died for the refugees in the second district.

Only some young people in the crowd still stood there silently, with sluggish expressions.They don't have any opinion on Rosie, but they don't have a strong affection. In the process of their growth in the past ten years, "Shu" frequently launched terrorist attacks and recruited soldiers. Their parents and brothers were killed in small-scale wars.Now that a large-scale war is going on, it will only mean endless suffering to them.

Coupled with the rumors that smeared Rosie on the Internet in the main city area a few days ago, everyone in the younger generation knew that Rosie killed Cheng Wen, so they felt bad for him.They were originally a group of people who wanted to escape the radiation-filled second district and enter Cesina, and the increase in the quota for entering the city to 20 million credits was the best proof.

"If these are just high-sounding clichés and can't convince you to fight for the second district," Rosie raised the corners of her lips as expected, lowered her head, and stretched out her fingers to pluck the white wild chrysanthemum in front of Cheng Wen's tomb, "I...I want to tell you a story about the owner of this tomb, the former adjudicator of East 5, Cheng Wen."

Rosie sighed vaguely, and her tone eased: "I met Uncle Cheng when I was twenty years old. He was one of the earliest followers who witnessed my establishment of 'Skill', and he is also the oldest among the adjudicators.One of them. At that time, there were many adjudicators in the second district, and most of them were rebellious. Uncle Cheng taught me how to deal with them. Whenever I couldn’t control the chaotic eleven-seat meeting, Uncle Cheng scolded them for me.”

He smiled slightly and blinked his eyes, letting the tears in his eyes disappear, "In fact, he is a gentle person, he doesn't fight or grab, and he doesn't like disputes the most. But for us, he goes to the battlefield every time, rushesIn front of the other adjudicators. He loves us all as his own children, and the way he charges forward, he doesn't look like an ordinary water conservancy engineer at all."

"Later, Victor became the leader, and he also obeyed Victor's orders. He knew that the temporary leader had become a scheming demon, but he still regarded him as a child and protected him without hesitation. Later, Victor colluded with the main city,Send him to me who was transformed into a bionic man...I killed him with my own hands." Rosie's face was pale, her smile was shattered, and her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, "I killed him with my own hands.depended on."

"I know, Uncle Cheng forgave me for my loss of control back then, and my willfulness for going to death during Scarlet Christmas. I can also explain myself that I did this because I was controlled by CyberRose. But, II can’t lie to myself, this is the path I chose, I was willing to be manipulated by Robert, and I fell into this situation, it was my own choice that led to irreparable consequences.”

Thousands of miles away on East 5, the killer stood in front of the window with his hands folded, overlooking the weeping crowd.East 5 used to be Cheng Wen's jurisdiction. When Cheng Wen passed away a year ago, the people here spontaneously held a memorial service. Naturally, they were full of hatred for the Cesina government.

At this moment, it only takes Rosie to say a few casual words of incitement to further stimulate people's sadness and hatred, but he doesn't.

"The officials under me suggested that I use Uncle Cheng's death to gain sympathy. They told me that sensation is the most powerful weapon, but I don't think so." Rosie's fingers slowly stroked the cold stone tablet, "Be sober,It is the most powerful weapon. It is the same for me and you, if you have clearly thought about the consequences of your choices, you will be more cautious when facing your choices."

"I understand very well that among the people in the second district, some people's lifelong long-cherished wish is to enter the main city and become a citizen of Cesina. That's why so many refugees flooded into the main city during the bloody Christmas... that's why, you are indifferent to the burning flames of war, the army invading your homeland and the compatriots who died.”

He stood up from Cheng Wen's tombstone, took two steps forward, and stared directly at the camera with sharp eyes, "You think that group of bionics are here to rescue you, right?"

Many young people in front of the screen held their breath, blushing with guilt. Although Rosie was not in front of them, she seemed to be able to see through their thoughts.District 2 has always had people with this kind of thinking. If their thinking cannot be fundamentally reversed, Rosie will still be hamstrung by the influx of refugees into the city just like it was ten years ago.

"Bloody Christmas, the night I died alone, I kept thinking why my people rushed to the main city in spite of everything. Could it be that I didn't do well in the second district?" Rosie smiled amiably, "NowI will not blame myself like this anymore. I already understand that the sweet dream woven by CyberRose is too tempting, they hyped up the benefits of bionics and the Magic Sea system in the second district, making our people flock to it."

"But what I want to tell you is still the same sentence. Before making a choice, you must carefully weigh the pros and cons before it can be called a sober choice. You have never seen a child who is immersed in the fantasy sea system until his limbs shrink.There are prostitutes who are willing to sleep with people after a pinch of marijuana, and countless criminals who have been replaced by bionics and can only steal and rob, and then executed by bionics, so you can't imagine what it is like to abandon your dignity and live in a fantasy."

"Perhaps you are tempted to ask me back, 'I just want to dream, I accept this life soberly, this is my choice, can't I?'" Rosie paused for a moment, asked herself, "Of course., This is your freedom, and I have no way to interfere. But I also want to ask you, do the people of Cesina want to dream, or are they forced by reality to dream?"

"Did you consciously choose the dream world, or did you choose to live the dream life by being manipulated by the values of the city's elite—a world embellished like a dream by advertising, packaging, and marketing?"

Rosie said softly, under the blazing autumn sun, the autumn wind bleakly rolled up the dead leaves, chasing them through his hair, and he held one with his hands.His tone was not harsh, he just talked rationally and calmly, but it aroused an extremely heavy echo in the hearts of everyone who wanted to escape.In the hot early autumn, there was a chill of fear behind their backs.

"You think you're consciously choosing, but in fact, you've never really been given the right to be sober," Rosie said, "Cecina City, manipulated by CyberRose, is just a huge machine for making puppets.This sinking, and finally being robbed of everything by the company. I don't want to give up the right to be sober, so I came here to ignite the fire of resistance."

Rosie's eyes brightened little by little, "Now, it's your turn to choose. Do you want to create a future with your own hands, or let CyberRose decide your future?"

"Will it be heroic and fearless to earn freedom for your family and yourself, or hang your head on a slowly tightening noose?"

"Is it with your painstaking efforts to build a pile of treasures for the powerful and powerful to rest in peace of mind, or to fuel the flames of resistance and burn them all?"

"It's all up to you." He spread his hands towards the camera, and the fallen leaves in his hands were gone with the wind.

Just behind him, in the high sky, a reconnaissance plane and four bombers sent by Robert were shot down. Deng Huailing commanded the ground troops to build a strict defense line, and the enemy drones were violently bombed before they approached..The burning wreckage fell like a salute in full bloom in the daytime, curling down like a celebration.

The twelve dungeons were quiet for a moment, and then cheers erupted from the mountains and tsunami.Accompanied by the cries of "Second District must win", the accumulated dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction of the people over the past ten years melted like ice at this moment.On the screen, Rosie stood quietly, and off the screen, the crowd was boiling like a sea.
