Chapter 209 Thoughts Cannot Be Killed

The police car ultimately failed to catch Wen Xishu.

With the blessing of the three-phase power, Wen Xishu’s parkour made him seem to be free from the constraints of gravity.

He kept jumping around in the huge buildings.

Sometimes it would suddenly hide under a huge neon billboard, and sometimes it would hang on a piece of glass like a spider.

The power of Dragon Hidden makes him difficult to detect.

Wen Xishu, who was high in the sky, was finally able to see all the living beings in this city.

It is so uniform.

All the dog walkers in the city walk the same breed of dog, the same size, and turn at the same time.

Even dogs are regulated in this city. If a dog does not behave in a standard manner, it will be shot dead immediately by the security guards, and the factory will be contacted to arrange for a new puppy with the same appearance to be sent there.

Be proud of being the same and ashamed of being different.

Wen Xishu was undoubtedly the outlier. He had a strong willpower, and even though he was injected with a huge amount of “happiness factor”, he did not become addicted to the exaggerated pleasure.

Especially after removing the implanted device in his body… Wen Xishu became even more convinced that there was a big problem with this city.

It was also at this time that he saw the prompt.

[Current world disharmony: 66. ]

[Current character synchronization rate: 34. ]

The Scorpio Sword finally started to work properly, which was something Wen Xishu was very concerned about.

The efficiency of the Crazy Dice was not affected at all, but the Scorpio Blade seemed to be suppressed by something.

From the time I climbed the tower until now, the Scorpio Sword’s presence has not been very strong.

Wen Xishu wandered around the buildings, moving vertically and horizontally in space towards the tallest office building in District 14 where Horn was.

He had to admit… this city did have a kind of beauty that was pleasing to the eyes.

On the overpass, the distance between all pedestrians and the speed and distance between all vehicles are so neat.

The roads are like production lines in a factory.

Even in the rest area, those who were reading newspapers and drinking coffee were standing in neat rows.

Even when Wen Xishu played Age of Empires 4 and Skylines, he had never seen anything so neat.

In the school, all the children lined up in long queues, like industrial products that were about to be labeled “qualified product”.

Enter the campus in an orderly manner.

So beautiful.

Wen Xishu really felt that this feeling of neatness was very visually impactful.

Everyone is like a machine.

But he knew that this kind of beauty should not exist.

Because this kind of beauty is what he feels after seeing chaos for a long time.

If the situation is that he has lived in this kind of environment since childhood… then perhaps when he sees the messy scene, he will feel shocked and beautiful.

The traffic light appeared.

Logically speaking, it doesn’t matter whether there are traffic lights or not in a city like this. But soon, Wen Xishu discovered that traffic lights are not for vehicles, or rather, they are not only for vehicles, but for people and vehicles.

When the crowd turned green, the junior law enforcers soon appeared. Everyone stopped in an orderly manner.

Soon someone was pulled out from the crowd.

Wen Xishu couldn’t hear clearly, but his amazing eyesight allowed him to see the clues.

smile.

Among all the people, there was one person whose smile was different from the others in degree.

So the man had to smile again.

Since the person had to smile three times to be qualified, he was also asked about his ID and other documents.

Soon, this person seemed to feel great joy, and finally laughed like everyone else around him and re-entered the crowd.

The world returned to order and everything became as beautiful as it was at the beginning.

Wen Xishu only took a quick glance and felt a huge sense of incongruity in this world.

“Everyone here is different. They are all different in height, weight, and size… Theoretically, their lifespans are also different.”

“That person’s smile is not up to standard, perhaps because he has experienced some kind of separation or death?”

This was just Wen Xishu’s thought, but it made Wen Xishu feel inexplicably fearful.

[Current world disharmony: 67. ]

[Current character synchronization rate: 33. ]

District 15 is a living park.

There are various entertainment facilities here, including parks, playgrounds, cinemas, and various novel places.

Wen Xishu, disguised as a passerby, crossed a road with a standard smile on his face.

On this road, he saw a particularly ironic architectural facility – a moderately out-of-control experience performance.

But the purpose is not to make people experience chaos, but to make people aware of the risk of life getting out of control by watching chaos.

Wen Xishu didn’t go to watch the performance after all. Presumably… even the loss of control was controlled.

Yes, everything in this world is controlled.

Everyone accepts this control.

The concept of disappearance is a very complex concept. It is a fusion of many concepts.

Wen Xishu already felt that the answer was about to come out. After the world’s disharmony reached 72, he could feel that he was getting close to the goal.

But he just couldn’t remember.

In the scenic park bench in District 15, a man and a woman were quickly interrupted by a man wearing the clothes of a junior law enforcer.

They were kissing.

But during the kiss, the thermometer on the bench showed that the man’s temperature was abnormal, so it was interrupted.

Fortunately, the man quickly regained his senses and, with a great sense of pleasure, became a part of the park again.

Wen Xishu quickened his pace.

He is very adaptable, so he doesn’t plan to watch this chaos again.

……

……

District 14.

In the bathroom of the office building, Wen Xishu changed his clothes again.

What surprised Wen Xishu was that in a place like the bathroom, there was still private space.

There are no cameras here, but there are sensors that trigger three-part music if an employee spends too long on the toilet.

In the first paragraph, the toilet sings to encourage employees to not forget the beauty of work. In the second paragraph, physical suggestions are given according to the excretion capacity of employees. In the third paragraph, the whole company is informed that someone takes too long to excrete.

So when Wen Xishu was in the office building bathroom, he saw that everyone was rushing around.

He took one of them hostage and stole his access card.

On the elevator billboard, there was a group of expressionless men and women who looked like vegetables, all with a sutured incision on their foreheads.

They are people who have had their frontal lobes removed, but they all dress extremely luxuriously and expensively.

Wen Xishu even noticed…someone took a sneak peek and there was a flash of envy in his eyes.

Of course, no one was talking in the elevator and eye movements could not be captured.

Everyone kept their distance and maintained the cleanliness of the office building.

It’s hard to imagine… This is the place with the most creative energy, where movies and novels, the emotional seasonings in people’s lives, are produced. Although everyone here doesn’t have a scratch on their forehead, everyone here is close to a state of insanity.

The thirty-fifth floor was soon reached.

A publishing house here went bankrupt not long ago because it published banned materials.

A writer was arrested for creating a banned word in a book. The writer’s original intention was to write about an anti-order society to praise the greatness of order.

But inexplicably, he created a villain who did whatever he wanted… and it actually caused a small discussion.

Naturally, this discussion was not a good one, so the publishing house was closed down and the author’s whereabouts were unknown.

It is expected that the 35th floor will be replaced by a new company within three days, but this place will become a temporary shelter for Horn and Wen Xishu.

“Wen Xishu, I’m here.”

There was a shocking wound on Horn’s wrist. Sitting in a wheelchair, his hand was hanging down and blood was dripping, which made Wen Xishu feel that he looked too pitiful.

Wen Xishu said:
“Give me the handle.”

Horn was puzzled, but he did as he was told. The next second, Horn suddenly felt that something had established a connection with him.

Horn suddenly realized:

“I see. It turns out that people like me can also gain power with the help of props. But I feel that the gap between my power and yours is huge.”

After being connected to the handle, Horn’s attributes in all aspects were improved, and his wound healing ability also became extremely powerful.

This feeling made Horn feel incredible:

“You are truly a person who brings miracles.”

Wen Xishu smiled:

“Many people say so. Tell me, why did you choose this place?”

“And… did you find anything?”

Horn nodded:
“This city has lost a very important concept. Everyone is extremely obedient. The city is full of the beauty of order.”

Wen Xishu didn’t say anything.

Horn said:

“But that’s strange. Because some professions are allowed to exist.”

Wen Xishu seemed to understand:
“Is this why you chose this place? You want to know if these creators have any information?”

Horn nodded again:

“Yes. As soon as I entered this world, I was one of the creators at work.”

“Fortunately, my disability didn’t attract too much attention. Besides, I felt from the beginning that there was a foreign object in my arm.”

“After removing the implant, I began to understand that this world is a highly monitored world.”

“But my intelligence capabilities are limited, and I don’t know much.”

“I checked the law enforcement records and found out that the 35th floor of this building had been subject to law enforcement.”

“So I came here.”

Horn looked at Wen Xishu:
“This time, we can’t rely on Mia, we have to become Mia ourselves.”

Wen Xishu naturally understood the meaning of this sentence. He had to accumulate the disharmony to the maximum, and then he would naturally understand the concept of disappearance.

“This would put us in an extremely dangerous situation,” Horn said.

The law enforcers, and the even more powerful monsters of the sea of ​​evil…can indeed put people in extremely dangerous situations.

And Wen Xishu can’t afford to lose.

For Wen Xishu, the concept of no women is naturally a very important concept that he has lost, but he can still climb the tower after all.

But Wen Xishu could feel that this concept was extremely important. Once lost, he would become a puppet.

“We have no way out. Now that we are here, we must find a way out.”

Horn nodded:

“So I was thinking about the rationality of this city.”

“In fact, you and I both know that human thoughts cannot be completely controlled.”

“If this city were filled with people who had their frontal lobes removed, I’d understand.”

“But the problem is that only a small number of people have their frontal lobes removed.”

“Most people actually have complete thinking ability, but they are enslaved by happiness drugs.”

“We have entered the spiritual world of Sirius. Wen Xishu, don’t you think that the situation of this city is very similar to that of Sirius?”

After being asked this by Horn, Wen Xishu actually figured out something.

Sirius is enslaved, but longs to break free from slavery, but the probability of this happening is very low.

But deep down inside Sirius, he must have wanted to resist.

The few “superior people” who have had their frontal lobes removed represent a certain image.

Sirius longs to escape from captivity, but is blinded by this image, so that in his inner world… everyone feels that only those who have lost the ability to think are the best.

But correspondingly, there are also some potential rebels in this world, or rebels in the subconscious.

Wen Xishu immediately thought of this publishing house.

“Yes, if this world really promotes order, then these creators who play with words and ideas should be killed the most.”

Horn said:

“But they were not killed, they were just supervised… Let’s assume that everything in the world is an image.”

“So, what do these so-called creators represent?”

Wen Xishu blurted out:
“Represents Sirius’s desire to obtain…”

He was almost about to say that word, but suddenly Wen Xishu felt speechless.

Horn was also stunned for a moment, but soon he smiled:
“Don’t think too deeply. Before we figure out a way out… we can’t think too deeply.”

“Even for you, it would be difficult to face the sea monster after it has evolved several times, right?”

It’s true. Wen Xishu felt last time that the evolution of the sea beast had reached the limit of what he could cope with.

If you want to evolve further, you really have to use some forbidden trump cards.

Horn said:

“Have you noticed that in Sirius’s spiritual world, everything is corrective behavior?”

“But it won’t correct the mind.”

“So thoughts can’t actually be killed. I believe that Sirius longs to break free from his imprisonment, so there must be many sparks hidden in his subconscious… in this spiritual world.”

“Chaotic, rebellious, a spark of resistance.”

“But unfortunately, Wen Xishu, I have no way to obtain intelligence. The words of these people have been corrected in the code of conduct manual.”

“I tried to talk to other people, but when they saw me in a wheelchair, they wanted to stay away from me. I felt like a nuisance.”

Horn was clearly frustrated.

He always felt that Wen Xishu was very powerful, and without Wen Xishu, he would not dare to start this game.

But he was worried that the help he gave to Wen Xishu was too little.

When Wen Xishu heard what Horn said, he was immediately happy.

“Yeah, the mind is out of control, Horn! You really hit the nail on the head! The mind is out of control!”

“How could I have forgotten this?”

Wen Xishu was very excited, and Horn said:

“How do you manage to…read minds? Can you do this?”

Wen Xishu said:
“Then I have a way. I may not be good at getting information, but I am definitely good at getting ideas.”
