Chapter 521

At this time, the door of the room opened, and a middle-aged thin man came in, as if he couldn't see them. He took off his coat and sat on the chair in the living room, talking to himself.

Wei Ran frowned and said, "does he know you?"

Qiu Baiyi was quite complacent. "Of course, it's impossible. I applied spiritual invisibility, and of course I also applied it to you. Although we actually exist, we will be automatically filtered by other people's consciousness, so we can't see me. Oh, the same is true when you come in. "

Wei Ran then thought of a question, "you are wanted everywhere now, and your body structure is obviously different from that of people in the world. It is easy to be recognized by patrol drones when you go out of the slum.

Since you all practice martial arts, why don't you just take away a native and act more freely in their capacity? "

Qiu Baiyi said reluctantly, "I thought about it before. I didn't do it until I noticed something bad from this guy."

He pointed to the original owner in the room. "Listen to what he's talking about?"

Wei Ran frowned and listened to the man say to the air: "wife, as long as I save 30000 yuan, I can send my children to noble schools. You should come back then. Forgive me for being so poor and unable to find a regular job. I can only do odd jobs to make a living. It's my inability to let you leave..."

This seems to be the confession of a miserable middle-aged man. Although his mental state doesn't look very normal, it still has logic.

Wei Ran looked at Qiu Baiyi suspiciously, but Qiu Baiyi said, "when I first hid here, I used to hypnotize this man. I inadvertently saw from his memory that he had never been married and had no children.

He has been living alone since he was young. He makes a living by scavenging. Occasionally, he can find some jobs that intelligent robots can't do to do odd jobs. It's impossible for a woman to marry him.

But in the fragments of his memory, there were some things forcibly transplanted by others, which he mistakenly thought were what had happened to him, such as the so-called wife and daughter. "

Then Qiu Baiyi looked very serious, "the so-called false memory came from the interface behind his head. The so-called network in this world is very dangerous. It can make itself no longer think of itself, but something else without God's knowledge. This is one of the reasons why I haven't lost him. "

Wei Yan also locked his eyebrows tightly. He remembered the memory modifier that Elena had mentioned. A large part of human cognition of self comes from memory and from various choices in life in the past.

If this kind of memory can be modified, added or deleted at will, can I still call it me? And those who can control other people's memories, does that mean they can control other people's lives at any time?

A living person becomes an NPC created by others? Think about what a terrible thing it is.

"Have you only tried to take him and not others?"

Qiu Baiyi sighed, "why didn't I try? In fact, I tried everyone in this building, but I found a terrible fact. Everyone here has modified their memory. The false life experience makes them think they have another life, full of hope and can continue to struggle to change.

But in fact, the people here, their life, is completely dark, there is no future. Some sects in our heaven control a mortal world. Some demons either kill people and take their souls for cultivation. Most of the time, it is laissez faire without any control. How can you control everyone's thoughts and memories like this? "

What a chilling thing.

Wei Ran thought to himself, if everyone in the slum is like this, what about other people living in the middle class? For example, has this body been deleted and modified by the brain computer interface before? What about GE Chong and them? Is their resistance and their revolution also the result of memory modification?

Wei Ran didn't dare to think about it and forcibly changed the topic. "How do you act later? Can this spiritual invisibility be blessed all the time?"

"It's not a big problem to bless all the time, but this thing can only work for people in a certain range. It's a joke for the artificial intelligence in the world. Artificial intelligence has no spirit. Moreover, through their research on me, they have been able to lock the aura emitted from me on me, so... I really have no good way. "

Wei Ran sneered, "you mean, I can only rely on myself when saving people?"

"At present, I can only ask brother Li."

"Don't be busy and please me. Why don't you go to a place with me? Maybe it can solve the problem that you are easy to reveal your whereabouts."

The next meeting time was agreed with Qiu Baiyi. At this time, the man who had just entered the house and sat in a daze stood up again and walked outside the door.

Wei Ran thought for a while and said goodbye to Qiu Baiyi. He found that it was still early and Wei Ran was bored, so he inexplicably followed the man behind him.

As he took public transport all the way, he came to the heavily polluted industrial area of the city. Here, he sees the other side of the world.

In the industrial zone, order is more orderly than Wei Ran imagined, because all production work is completed by robots. As long as there is sufficient energy, these robots can always be returned to the factory for scrap.

Therefore, the production in the industrial zone has hardly stopped, and all kinds of needs in the city basically come from this.

Wei Ran is curious that more than 80% of the world's people are completely destitute and can only live on government relief.

The other 19% are working-class people like Qi Yu, who can barely meet the middle-class living standard and have a certain spending power by relying on their own skills.

Only 1% of the population is the aristocracy of the world, firmly occupying the top-level society of the pyramid, with more than 90% of the resources under their control.

Only the 1% of the extremely rich can not drive the consumption of this society, while the consumption capacity of the 19% of the middle class is still very limited. Therefore, the internal cycle of the whole world economy can be said to be close to collapse. A large amount of wealth and resources are more concentrated upward, and the bottom is more withered.

In this case, it is reasonable that the factory does not have so much work. If it only produces subsistence materials, it does not need to rush day and night. So Wei Ran is curious about what these factories are producing.

He still followed the unconscious poor man to the deep area of the industrial zone. The man's expression was numb and his eyes were dull. He had the same temperament as those who ate subsistence allowances and indulged in the online game world.

Wei Ran doesn't know what work is suitable for him in this industrial area where all production tasks can be completed only by machines.

He came to a core area of the industrial zone. After the security robot at the door scanned the facial features and pupils, he was allowed to enter.

Wei Ran was curious about what he was doing inside. He also followed him to go in, but was stopped by the security robot.

"Sir, you are not an employee of the company and do not have permission to enter."

Wei Ran subconsciously wants to use violence, but immediately reacts that his current situation is not suitable for causing trouble everywhere, so he is ready to turn around and leave to see other places.

But he asked casually, "are you still short of people? I want to come for an interview. "

The electronic eyes of the security robot flickered, and finally made an anthropomorphic smile, "the company has been recruiting people for a long time, and any human citizen is welcome to become an employee of the company. If you want an interview, you can take this badge to the personnel department and wait. "

The security robot handed Wei ran a special badge. Wei Ran wore the badge and went to the personnel department according to the route indicated on the ground.
