The electric sheep finally stopped after three minutes of rotation, and automatically folded back into the original metal cube.The headache-inducing cheerful singing was suddenly interrupted, and the silver-white cube quietly reflected the light under the sun, which was a bit dazzling.

Rosie squinted her eyes, picked up the cube again, and suddenly noticed something changed on its surface.The original protruding button is gone, replaced by a recessed slot, as if the toy was taken apart and put back together, and a piece was inexplicably missing.

"What's the matter?" Deng Huailing leaned over, took the cube from Rosie, and looked at the slot, "It's a common port for electronic devices, and ordinary devices can also be connected. Maybe the killer doesn't just want to play with you."Son, he does have something for you."

"...I'm thankful that he didn't write virus codes to harm Dong 1's administrative system." Rosie said helplessly, but got up and found a suitable cable, and connected the cube to the computer in the office.

Although he has already been tricked once, he knows very well that the killer is not a boring person, and everything the other party does is for reasonable and shrewd reasons.Things that exist in the cube must be useful to them.

They waited in front of the computer for a while, but the holographic projector turned on automatically before the notification that the file transfer was successful.The girl in the blond hair and white dress folded her hands, holding the suspended metal cube, which slowly rotated in her palm, and the dark blue radiance overflowed from the silver gap.

"Rose?" Rosie looked puzzled at the artificial intelligence that appeared out of nowhere, "Why are you in..."

"The killer stated in the program that this document is for me, so I came to receive it." The cube shattered in the girl's palm, turning into bright blue data spots, which revolved around her and finally merged into her.body of.

She looked at the two confused humans and smiled slightly, "I know you are curious about the contents of the document, but the killer also ordered me to keep it a secret. I can only tell you that this is one of the results of the doctor and his research. PleaseBelieve me, this document is of no use to you, and I'll take care of it."

Rose disappeared after speaking, and the beam of the holographic projector dimmed.The remaining two looked at each other suspiciously, and Rosie blinked: "The joint research results of the killer and the doctor, what is that? The two of them have been together for ten years, so there should be a lot of research and inventions, Rose also saidIt's one of them, which one is it?"

"Do you remember Mary Ellis? The first urgent task we received was to find out the cause of her death." Deng Huailing pondered, "In her memory, the killer and the doctor did something to her.Experiment, transforming her into a self-aware bionic person. This is probably a research project that the killer attaches great importance to, after all these years have passed, and they still have her memory pump."

"So, what the killer left behind is likely to be the research results related to self-awareness?" Rosie also recalled the past under the reminder of the other party, "But why did he give the results to Rose? The only common thing I can think of isThe point is, Rose is also a simulated personality with self-awareness, but this achievement...how can it play a role in her hands?"

He frowned, guessing the killer's intentions inexplicably, his fingers tugging at the end of his hair in distress.Seeing his appearance, Deng Huailing couldn't help but smile lightly, gently held his palm, and moved away from the tangled long hair:

"You can't think of anything in the air. Since the killer has made up his mind to keep you from knowing, it's useless to continue thinking about it. Everyone has their own tasks. You have to trust Rose to handle this matter well, and now youThe task is to hold a live speech, let Robert experience the resentment you lost your comrades in arms, and this is considered to make full use of the opportunity created by the killer."

"That's right." Rosie came back to her senses, her eyes washed by sadness were extremely clear, and her determined expression was like a sprout after rain, glowing with vitality, "The killer hopes that I can use his death, and the more I use it, the moreWell...he doesn't want me to stay where I am because of grief, if I can maximize the value of this opportunity, he will be happy too."

Subconsciously, he has already started to use the killer's logic to think about the problem.This is very strange. They never reached an agreement before the killer was alive, but at this moment they understood each other in a subtle way.Looking at the high blue sky from the top of the fort, you can feel the warm wind slipping through your fingers.

Rosie followed Deng Huailing out, and looked back at the silver cube on the desk before leaving.It seemed that someone was watching him go forward behind him, and he belatedly discovered that he was never alone on this tortuous muddy road.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the death knell sounded in the huge underground city. The sound of the bell sounded like it was on the silent sea of night, causing waves of ripples.endlessly.

The artificial sunlight above all the buildings was extinguished, and the radio broadcasted the battle report of the East 5, constantly repeating the news of the death of the East 5 adjudicator and senior officers.All eleven underground cities except East 2 will stop power supply after half an hour. Soldiers went from house to house, distributing fuel oil and candles in an orderly manner, and inviting people living near the administrative center to watch the memorial speech.

The speech was scheduled to be held at 8 o'clock in the morning, and the square in front of the administrative center was already crowded with people at 7:30.Due to a large-scale power outage, the original street lamps were replaced with gasoline lamps. Although they were not as bright as electric lamps, they still illuminated the huge square, and people shuttled back and forth between light and shadow.

The cause of the power outage was related to the launch of the "End of Song Project", which Rosie considered the energy consumption of large electromagnetic wave generators when conceiving the plan.If the Brain Lock imitation is to hold as many enemy troops as possible, enough machines will have to be built and powered in large quantities continuously.

The electromagnetic wave generator itself was not the difficulty of the plan. He secretly entrusted more than a dozen arms factories in East 3 to produce the parts of the machine and store them in different warehouses.After the war started, people were ordered to work overtime to assemble the parts and maintain them at all times. As long as the "End of the Song Plan" is activated, these machines can be put into use immediately.

The real difficulty lies in the energy to keep the machine running. There is no nuclear power plant in the second district, and it is too late to temporarily build it within a few months. We can only cut off most of the civilian electricity in the underground city and save energy to support the electromagnetic wave generator.In this way, they can stably control more than three million bionics, which is about one-third of the army in the main city.

Rosie learned how to maintain the normal operation of society under the premise of power outage from her previous experience in running God's Residence.Administrative personnel at all levels in the second district are familiar with the emergency plan for power outages, and the people in the underground city often conduct power outage drills, so the power outage throughout the city did not cause excessive panic.

On the contrary, the news of the death of the East 5 adjudicator and the explosion of the new base aroused public discussion. People in the square held candles and talked about the atrocities committed by the army in the main city with righteous indignation. Rumors quickly spread.He died by gouging out his heart alive.

Although there was vague fear in people's eyes, it was more hatred. The bionics killed their father and brother who joined the army, and also slaughtered their mother and sisters during the invasion of East 2. They had a blood feud with the main city.No matter how brutal Robert threatened them, they would not be able to give in and surrender.

The voice of discussion gradually subsided, and people saw the wide front of the administrative center building. Rosie walked up to the balcony on the third floor and stood behind the podium. The side of the podium was covered with white lilies, which were flowers mourning the dead.Still wearing the leader's military uniform, with a blooming thyme in his left breast pocket, he read out the opening line hoarsely:

"Good morning everyone, I'm Rosie."

The people noticed the pink and purple flowers in his pocket, and they all showed knowing eyes.Embroidering the cross pattern representing thyme on the skirt is a trend that Rosie's promotional video set off in the main city, and now it is also popular in the second district. Everyone who came to watch the speech embroidered a similar pattern on their clothes, dancing candlesIn the meantime, the pink cross swayed like a sea of flowers.

However, what is more striking is not the reappearance of the rebellious flower, but Rosie's pale and haggard face.Although the balcony where the speech was made was far away from the crowd, the leader's bright red eyes and chapped lips were clearly shown on the large broadcast screen powered by the power supply. His pupils were dark and bottomless, as if the last drop had flowed away.The spring of living water no longer has any fluctuations.

The people present were worried. It was obvious that the leader's mental state was not good, and the death of the adjudicator was too shocking, which made him a little dazed.But no one felt that Rosie on the screen was weak and fragile, because when he raised his head, the suppressed anger in his eyes surprised everyone, it was like a black beast violently hitting the fence and about to rush out of the cage.

"I believe everyone has heard about what happened on East 5 this morning. An officer betrayed information about the new base to the main city. As a result, the base was attacked when the troops were transferred. We lost more than 5,000 soldiers, nearly a hundred senior officers, and... the adjudicator of East 5, my loyal comrade-in-arms for more than ten years, the killer."

Speaking of this, Rosie lowered her tone, as if she wanted to restrain her hatred, but she still couldn't hold back, and punched the podium lightly, "He didn't die in the explosion, but was conscious.Under such circumstances, his heart was dug out and he was tortured to death!"

The crowd exclaimed, the rumors turned out to be true, and Robert Dillane was really so devoid of humanity.Rosie simply left the podium, went to the edge of the balcony, and leaned against the railing to look down at the vast sea of candles. The tiny microphone on his collar continued to send his voice to the eleven dungeons:

"I know that you can all empathize with me, because since the beginning of the war for more than a month, everyone has lost their loved ones, lovers or friends in this life. We are angry and hate, but there is nothing we can do. Countless soldiers are defending the base.Died in the war, countless refugees were massacred in the fall of East 2, and today, we have lost another important person."

Rosie put her hands on the railing, leaned forward, and gradually became emotional, "You all know that they are people, not numbers! When they are pierced by bullets in their chests and their throats are cut by bionic knives, only we——care about themPeople will cry in pain, and those culprits in the main city will always hide in the building high above, laughing at our embarrassment."

"No matter how important the dead are to us, they are just small insects in their eyes, and they must be crushed once they get in the way! Of course it is right to kill insects, even if they torture and humiliate wantonly, it is not a sin. I andLike you, I hate this inequality. How can those officials be so indifferent to life? How can they decide whether we live or die, our family and friends live or die? Just because they were born in a downtown area?"

He questioned angrily, layer upon layer of dissatisfaction, and stopped abruptly when he pushed his emotions to the highest point, allowing grief to ferment in silence for a few seconds.Then he lowered his eyes at the right time, and said slowly in a nostalgic tone, "Those people who died, although they were born in the poor second district, they were all... very, very good people."

Many in the audience at the plaza had tears in their eyes, not only from the similar experience of losing a loved one, but also from the power of Rosie's words.The other party catalyzed the pain and powerlessness of losing the important person to the point where it could not be added, and some vulnerable people directly burst into tears.

Compared with the awakening speech in the cemetery, the purpose of this memorial speech is purely to strengthen people's grief and then transform it into the power of revenge, in other words, it is incitement.

This is contrary to Rosie's consistent philosophy of governance, and Rosie believes that Robert can also see this.He didn't directly show emotional dementia and madness, which is not in line with the status of a leader, and it seems too exaggerated.The madness of a politician is the madness of decision-making. Robert is so familiar with him, he must be able to feel the "deviation" of his ideas under a major blow.

Now that he is crazy enough to incite people's hearts and play with people's wisdom in his hands, the next crazy move to open the lock of the brain seems more logical.
