"You'll be hollow, we'll empty your mind and fill you with ours"

—Such is the rite of the succession of the martyrs.

City X, 6:45

Countdown: 15 minutes

……

In front of the camera, Shi Kuang held a cigarette in his hand, looked at the indicator light in the corner of his eyes, his brows and eyes were gentle, his lips were smiling, and his voice was full of demagogic power as always.

"The green light, it seems, finally has a new martyr.

Few remember who the last martyr was, or what he did or said.Bibliophiles and mental patients once asked us, what are the martyrs doing?We will tell them: we are remembering.

Because human beings are forgetful animals, here is another forgetful country; history is too like a blackboard, which is constantly wiped clean and written on.The past is artificially erased, and the erasure itself is deliberately forgotten, and the lie becomes the truth.

The responsibility of the martyrs is to remind mankind to remember with blood and at the cost of their lives.Every martyr will tell the story about the empire totem, about that stupid bird.Although it has been told countless times, it has been forgotten countless times.

The martyr will choose to burn like that stupid bird, and the successor martyr will be reborn in the ruins.

Human beings are always impressed by flames, burning, and destruction.We never expect the numb people to wake up and resist in comfort and enjoyment.As the first martyr of the Empire said, 'Never rebel unless awakened, but never awaken unless rebelled'.Even if the people know the whole story clearly, deep in their hearts, they have to work hard to fabricate lies to conceal the truth and keep themselves hypnotized.They already think they are dead, and dead people want to live as long as possible, numb, like a walking corpse, without a soul.

The past is dead and the future is unimaginable.But if hope exists, it must exist among the people.

Like the No. 13 bibliophile, he used his death to remind you to leave the room with the telescreen and the city.Just like the soldiers who went to the front line, they were sacrificed and destroyed in the fire of war, and they were reborn in the ashes of the war.

The word war seems far away.

Five years ago, we declared war.

But the billions of people who love the telescreen and entertain themselves to death, you may have heard about it, you may be aware of it, but you don't care.

In the past five years, the war has never stopped. Countless bombers flew to the battlefield from above your heads, and tens of millions of imperial soldiers were sent to the front line. Among them, there are your relatives and friends; but, living in electronic caves People who really don't know, are they blind, are they deaf.No, you are just indifferent.

Yesterday, we ended war.

We fought for five years and defeated an enemy many times stronger than us.

But this is only victory in external wars.

As I said just now, the martyrs will choose to be burned like that stupid bird, and together with this city, they will be reduced to ashes in the burning.He had to activate the self-destruct devices in all the telescreens in the city.All the telescreens will explode in an instant, and the whole city will be wiped out like a missile.

Why did the telescreen have a self-destruct mechanism?

Little is known that the man who designed the telescreen was the very first martyr who said - 'We are ruined by what we love'.

There are too many people in this country who love the telescreen, obsessively, soullessly, sickly, so intensely that they don't want to leave the room, or even waste time talking to their loved ones and friends.Even though it is deadly, there is a timed bomb in its body, but this does not affect the people's love for it...

Why should I activate the self-destruct mechanism?

Ridiculous sacrifice?

No.

The spirit of sacrifice that appears to be serious on the surface is actually a hotbed of filth.

Just like the telescreen, there is also a self-destruct device in the body of the martyr, which is integrated into the blood and cannot be removed. This is also the key to the martyr's inheritance.Every martyr goes to destroy with hatred, to destroy this dirty and hopeless world.This is what really drives the martyrs to their ruin.

Why was the city X burned?

X was not the first city to die, any more than I was the first to be martyred.Even, we can't remember clearly, this is the first city to be burned in flames, and how many martyrs I am.As I said at the beginning, very few people remember who the previous martyr was, what he did, and what he said.Humans are very bad at remembering.

I became a martyr when I was 17 years old, and that year the city of S happened to be reduced to ruins in the sea of ​​fire.But, a year later, with the rebuilding of City S, there were still telescreens in every room.Even as cities were reduced to ashes, the telescreen did not disappear.

New telescreens, still with self-destruct mechanisms.

The people reborn from the ruins love the cute and deadly telescreen as always.

Even if it was destroyed.

But nothing seems to have changed.

Some people may ask, what's the point of doing this?This method is really stupid, just like that stupid bird.Time and time again, rebirth again and again, it seems that you can never get rid of this cycle.But it is impossible for us to activate the self-destruct devices of all the telescreens in all the cities of this country at the same time, and it is impossible for us to really destroy this country.

However, the optimism is that our world is progressing in the direction of willingness to bear more pain.

Every year, the number of bibliophiles is increasing; more and more people are being arrested and sent to mental institutions.This is a good sign.This shows that someone is thinking and willing to think.Thinking is bound to be painful.If you think, you will become different; if you are different, in this sick society, you may only be put in prison, in a mental hospital.

There are also those homeless people beside the rusty railroad tracks. When the last martyr was still alive, there were only a few hundred homeless people in the whole country.Now, there are thousands of such homeless people in every city.Soldiers who survive will come back here, and after the bloodshed, they start to feel pain for the future of this country, and they are willing to suffer more for it.

It is the good fortune of this country, and of the martyrs, that the people are demanding the right to suffer.

When more and more people are willing to bear the pain, they will accumulate huge energy to awaken, resist, and fight!

Now, the city will be reduced to ashes.

Not to mention, I really feel a little bit reluctant to part with this world.

Even if the world was once hopeless and painful;

But we believe that we will meet in a place full of hope without darkness, and a new civilization will be rebuilt on the ruins. "
