Asylum on Earth [Unlimited Stream]

Chapter 96 The Meaning of Resistance

"I thought it would be a more lofty name, such as 'Master of Myriad Realms', 'King of the Gods' or something..." Bai Jianxiao thought it was funny, "Abandoned baby, it's really not like a ruler would take it name."

"Who knows? We don't know the true face of the abandoned baby, whether he is a person, a group of people or not a person at all." Yin Cheng said, "Just to know his name, we have to pay an unimaginable price , even if he calls himself a shit at a time like this, I can't laugh."

"Haha is right." Bai Jianxiao smiled bitterly.

"For more secrets about the paradise, you can ask Tang Yuan," Yin Cheng said, "after all, he has been to that place himself."

Bai Jianxiao didn't have time to ask, and saw Tang Yuan walking towards him. Yin Cheng didn't seem to like interacting with him, so he said hello and left.

There is only the last white chip left in the pocket, but Bai Jianxiao's thoughts are no longer here. What is "Tang Yuan has been to the paradise in person"?Could it be that he also climbed the Tower of Babel?Didn't he lose his memory?

Even though he was extremely curious, he couldn't ask any more questions when he saw Tang Yuan.Even if a cooperative relationship has been reached through the binding of various interests, they are enemies and not friends, and others are not obliged to tell him all the inside information.

"This is for you." Tang Yuan handed him a slender USB flash drive, "I put everything I owe you in it."

Having seen memory carriers in the shape of feathers and boxes, the U-disk, a product of the civilized world, made Bai Jianxiao very kind, but Tang Yuan turned the U-disk upside down in his hand, "Do you know how to use it?"

"Huh?" Bai Jianxiao didn't know what to do, how else could the U disk be used?

"Like this." Tang Yuan unscrewed the cover, and suddenly inserted the USB flash drive into his head. Bai Jianxiao watched the metal interface melt into Tang Yuan's hair, turning him into a silly long haired computer on legs.

After the demonstration, Tang Yuan pulled out the USB flash drive again, but his head didn't squirt blood, "This is a B-level prop that can be used for direct brain-to-brain transmission. Remember to return it to me after you use it up."

"Oh..." Bai Jianxiao took the USB flash drive.

After the memory was handed over, he and Tang Yuan really had nothing to say, they stared blankly at each other.The handsome young man with indigo curly hair refused to leave for a long time, hesitantly walked around the pond twice.

"Is there anything else?"

"I didn't kill the fish." Tang Yuan said suddenly, obviously hearing the conversation between him and Yin Cheng just now, "When I saw it, the fish was already dead."

"That's it..." Bai Jianxiao was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the lives of the three fish would become an unsolved case.No, so after all, why do you care so much about a few fish!

"Lu Zhiqiong and Amor were chatting by the pond before," Tang Yuan said again, "Seeing you getting off the elevator, he quickly threw the cigarette butt into the water."

"So it was him." Bai Jianxiao said, "I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."

"It's nothing."

Seeing that he was interested in chatting, Bai Jianxiao took advantage of the situation and asked, "I'm very interested in the fact that you have been to the paradise. If possible, you can make a condition, and I am willing to buy this secret."

"It's not a big deal. If you want to know, I might as well tell you." Tang Yuan licked his knuckles habitually, and suddenly asked an inexplicable question, "What do you think I am?"

Although it was very strange, Bai Jianxiao still replied truthfully: "Your name is Tang Yuan, and you are the vice president of Amor. They said that you used to be a cat, although I am very curious about how a cat became a human..."

"No, my mother is human, my father is also human, and I was born in a prison." Tang Yuan said blankly about his past, "The hive prisons are surrounded by water, and there are countless crazy people every day. Men and women were thrown out, driven onto small boats called 'fool's ships', and flowed down the river. The end of the river was a foul-smelling place, and the water was covered with swollen and rotting corpses. Another layer is so full that many a madman will step on it as if it were land, and fall into the water and drown."

Just imagining that scene, Bai Jianxiao had the urge to vomit, "Where were you born?"

Tang Yuan shook his head: "The fool's boat rowed past the corpse and docked on the shore. The lunatic went ashore under the guidance of the angel and entered the lunatic asylum. Men went to the left and women went to the right. They were strictly separated. My mother was one of them." A female lunatic. In that kind of place, you don’t have to be surprised even if you see someone chewing on your own flesh. Usually what they eat is the swill left in the prison cafeteria. When it was transported to the lunatic asylum, the food was rotten and full of maggots. It was covered with a layer of black flies.

"In addition to suicide, female prisoners have an additional way out, which is pregnancy. The mother's ability is to transform, and she can only become a cat. Even the soul has become the soul of a cat, and angels cannot see through it. She becomes a cat. A snow-white cat crawled along the ventilation duct to the men's cell, and then turned back into a human. When the group of lunatic men saw a naked woman suddenly appearing, they were so frightened that they all burst into tears and wanted to huddle against the fence Trying to run, my mother walked up to one of the men and said you come with me, and there was me. Anyway, my father was one of those men who was covered in his own shit.

"I never thought there would be such a hellish place in the prison..." Bai Jianxiao said with emotion.If it was there that Swann was picked up by Shang Lie, it is completely understandable for her to be desperate.

"Do you think the lunatic asylum is hell?" Tang Yuan sneered, "After my mother became pregnant, she successfully left the lunatic asylum and was sent to a place called the Palace of Fanxi. I bought ten rooms, and I just need to lie down and eat enough every day.”

"I've heard of this place." Bai Jianxiao said.He remembered that Youlan ran away with her husband because she didn't want to be imprisoned there. "The babies will be taken away by angels as soon as they are born."

"My mother thought she could still escape, but unfortunately, there was no door to that place. There were only ten huge connected rooms, with white and fat pregnant women lying on narrow beds, like a pig farm. She started to get scared , frequently turned into a cat and ran around, and she saw a five- to sixty-year-old woman holding her belly up and howling all night long, and the room was always filled with a bloody and dirty smell."

"... Even so, there are many people who are willing to take the initiative to go in, right?"

"As long as one can survive, one can always break through the lower limit, and those who can't bear it will die, so they won't appear in my story." Tang Yuan smiled, "Of course, this is not the exciting part of the story Woolen cloth."

"In this hell on earth, my mother's madness became more and more serious, until at last she began to change frequently into cat form, forgetting how to return to human form. This affected the fetus in the womb. I am Born in cat form, she bit off my umbilical cord, licked my afterbirth clean, and passed on her knowledge of being human to me. The only door she knew was open was the one the angel brought The door where the baby went out, she hoped her spirit would escape with me."

"Human intelligence?"

"Oh, because the way of thinking will change after turning into a cat, so she has a special prop to preserve her sanity."

Bai Jianxiao suddenly thought of something, and spread out his palms: "It's this USB flash drive, right?!"

"It's the same thing, don't be nervous, the one in your hand is a counterfeit, and the real one is already broken." Tang Yuan said, "In short, when I was born, my mind was about the same as that of an 8-year-old child. Painful memory."

"I see, that's when you were brought into Paradise, right?"

"It can be said that, but all babies need to go through a 'big screening' before entering the paradise." Tang Yuan's tone suddenly became mysterious, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "That's right, the paradise is not So many babies are needed, for the batch that entered Paradise with me, there were a total of 52 babies, and I heard the order from the angel, saying that only 17% is enough.”

"52 babies, only 17% are needed..." Bai Jianxiao quickly calculated, "8.84, that is to say, only 9 babies can go to the paradise, right? Where did the rest go?"

"It's not 9, it's 8.84." Tang Yuan shook his finger, "We were put on a crawler one by one and were transported up. I heard the rattling sound coming from the front, just like a meat grinder , there was a viscous red liquid dripping down the track, like warm amniotic fluid. I barely looked up and saw a constantly stirring blade in front of me—like the kind in a soybean milk machine ——As soon as the blade rolled, a baby was swallowed and smashed into pieces. I was so scared that I got up and ran back. Thanks to my mother's intelligence, I knew to run. Finally, I couldn't run. , fell down on the track, and the meat grinder finally stopped working. A total of 8.84 babies, including me, were picked up and became the lucky ones to enter the paradise."

"I've been concerned about it since just now, why is it 8.84?" Bai Jianxiao couldn't help but interjected.

"The group of angels didn't turn off the meat grinder until about one-tenth of the ninth baby's body was shredded. Do you understand? They were strictly following the 17% order. It said 0.5 people , They will not hesitate to split a person in half and send him up, regardless of whether he is dead or alive. They are like robots, without any emotions, and will only execute the set programs."

Bai Jianxiao was out of breath when he heard that, recalling the angel's dark eyes, he felt a burst of terror and despair, "Since you don't need so many, then just let them go, why kill..."

"As I said, they are irrational and only perform tasks. Collecting babies is a task, and killing them is also a task. The two are not in conflict." Tang Yuan continued, "I almost became an angel, but thanks to As a gift from my mother, I became perhaps the first to walk out of Paradise with my memory preserved, and learned a little of the craft."

"What did you see in the paradise? How did you escape? What kind of craftsmanship are you talking about?" Bai Jianxiao had countless questions to ask.

Tang Yuan yawned, showing a look of boredom, "Ah, you can plug in the USB flash drive and watch for yourself. Anyway, I have been living as a cat since then, until one day I was picked up by Lu Zhiqiong."

Bai Jianxiao was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "The 'craft' you mentioned, is it setting a program?"

Tang Yuan narrowed his eyes, "How do you know?"

"I thought of it when you mentioned the procedure," Bai Jianxiao said, "The fake Lu Zhiqiong who was summoned by the spirit once told me that because a program was set in his body, he could never walk out of that door. No matter Neither Death Hunter nor Swann have such abilities, so I guess it was you."

"You're very sharp, that's right," Tang Yuan showed approval, and then said a few more words, "You might as well treat this prison as a huge holographic game, the paradise is the command terminal, and the mastermind's codename is 'Abandoned' Babies'. And these angels are robots that have been programmed one by one, performing their tasks meticulously."

"Wait, is this a metaphor, or is it really like this?" Bai Jianxiao was a little confused, "Like... the Matrix? Are we actually just mentally entering a world controlled by artificial intelligence?"

"What is the Matrix?" Tang Yuan was at a loss for these things in the external world, "it's obviously not that simple, at least your world can be truly affected by angels. Oh yes, there is one more thing I'm going to tell you."

"what?"

"I found out when we met for the first time that a 'program' has also been implanted in your soul."

Bai Jianxiao's breathing stagnates, "What procedure?"

"Don't ask me, I can't tell you the answer. I just know there is such a thing." Tang Yuan said, "If I don't tell you, you won't even feel its existence, but this program, it will Unknowingly affect your thinking and control your actions. So, I'm not surprised that your mobile phone will receive Lu Lu's message. You must have some special features that you don't know. Chosen to come here."

Bai Jianxiao couldn't listen to what else Tang Yuan said afterwards.He roughly looked back at the past, and all the memories since he remembered were complete and reliable. He should have never been bitten by a poisonous spider, or some great bloodline passed down by his ancestors!What is so special about him?What about this procedure?Who planted it for him and when?

These questions hovered over his head like bats, all of them had hideous faces.Holding these three memories, Bai Jianxiao thought she had cleared up some fog, but in the end she was thrown into a bigger mystery.

"What did you say to him, Jianbai looks very troubled?" Inside the room, Amor asked worriedly.

Tang Yuan lowered his head and took a sip of water from the cup in his hand, and slowly repeated what he said just now verbatim.Amor was also worried when he heard that, and asked, "What is that procedure? Don't you know?"

"I don't know, because I didn't set it up." Tang Yuan said, "Even if I know, I won't tell you, because you will tell Lu Zhiqiong right away."

"Don't speak to me in such a distrustful tone," Amor held his face affectionately, without any embarrassment of being exposed, "I love you forever."

"It doesn't matter," Tang Yuan said with a smile, "I have a hunch that Lu Zhiqiong will come back sooner or later, and when he returns to us, everything will return to how it was at the beginning."

"I don't want to go back to where I started," Amor said. "At least now I feel like I have a glimmer of hope that we can all come together and do something, and maybe one day..."

"It doesn't make any sense. I've been there, I've seen those things with my own eyes," Tang Yuan sneered, "I can't even explain it to you—only when you really face that fear, you will know what despair is. "

"I don't think so," Amor said, "Just like when your mother passed away, she still had hope in her heart. I think you standing here in health today is the meaning of her entire struggle."

In order to clear Lu Zhiqiong of being a fish murderer, he must explain the real cause of Yu's death.

This pond looks lush and vibrant with water plants, but in fact the water plants are just like the sky.Bai Jianxiao and Lu Zhiqiong were so busy that they didn't bother to feed the fish after throwing them into the pond, so tragedy happened that night.

In the limited space, the six fish gradually felt hungry, and under the call of instinct, they started a survival game.The thin three were killed first, and the live fish ate the corpses of their companions to satisfy their hunger.

The next day, the dead fish were cleaned up, and the three fish were still hungry, staring at each other with hatred and fear.At this time, a wise man in the fish said: "We can't kill each other. The real evil is the person who put us into this cage. We must unite and defeat them!"

Lu Zhiqiong passed by the pond, his trousers were wet, he looked down and wondered, "Why are these fish jumping up and throwing water at me?"

Bai Jianxiao glanced at him sideways: "I still have the face to say, if you hadn't thrown the cigarette butts in, the fish wouldn't have died..."

"I was wronged," Lu Zhiqiong said, "I was smoking cigarettes, not poison!"

"You reminded me, hand over the cigarette, I want to check the ingredients in it!"

these fish?In the end, of course, they all died.

Later, a new fish was replaced, and the two careless owners finally remembered to feed them. After that, the fish swayed their tails comfortably.

Will there be a historian among the fish to record the struggle of the three fish?Will there be a poet among fishes to write a hymn to life for them?Will there be later fish laughing at their ignorant and ridiculous struggles?

They don't know and never think about it.

Maybe the narrow pond gave them blind courage, maybe the meaning of freedom lies in looking up at the starry sky forever.Rebellion is born when the shackles come, and this is a truth that fish also know.
