Deep in the Living

Chapter 254 Balloon (Thanks to Uncle Ba for being the leader)

The Venerable's ten fingers waved in the air, as if he was selecting some file between thoughts, or as if he was wavering some memory thread.

“Commissioner Rody.

I don't have a body as strong as yours that can kill a fake person, but my brain is very good, especially in terms of memory. I can remember a lot of things and use line segments to connect these things to achieve a certain balance.

Judging from the relationships you have developed so far, it seems that you prefer others to call you "Mr. Di".

Born twenty years ago in the 13th resettlement community in Jupiter City.

His father Luo Kangquan and his mother Tang Lizhen were both ordinary workers.

My elder sister Luo Yuyan graduated from Jupiter No. 4 Middle School and worked as a file clerk in an ordinary office.

You should have grown up normally in such an ordinary family, but unfortunately, in the year you graduated from junior high school, a serious fake human incident occurred in the No. 13 resettlement community.

Including your family, a total of twenty people died in the community.

The fake person who caused this incident failed to escape and was eventually killed on the spot by the investigator.

But... did you know that many people in the Jupiter City Investigation Bureau asked for leave that day? Moreover, six hours before the incident, the bureau received a report from a citizen, but because there was no definite clue, the investigator who answered the call did not follow up immediately.

If they had taken things more seriously, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened.

Is not it?

Unfortunately, tragedies like this happen every day in every city. After all, we live in a corner, in the most dangerous place, and we should be prepared to face tragedy when we are born here.

Having a good beginning and a good end is the most luxurious thing, being able to live alone is the best result. "

Faced with the family information that the Venerable easily gave him, which was even information he didn't know, Rody showed no expression, his face was expressionless, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, the Venerable once again directed his target to the metal box on the table.

"I prepared this gift especially for you. The 'information' you want is all in it, including other training institutions similar to orphanages, pseudo-human organizations distributed in different regions, and their illegal activities carried out in secret.

All the "dark sides of the moon" are packed in walnuts, and you can get all the memory information just by eating them.

Don't worry, it's just a memory carrier and will not affect your brain.

As you can see, Moon City is indeed full of festering sores and rotten to the core.

But why can the whole city, which has become so rotten, still maintain a state of stability and peace?
Why are there so many pseudo-human groups in Moon City, but there has never been a large-scale riot?
Why do we still deliver the largest amount of pituitary glands and the best quality to our headquarters every year?
Why do they know there is a problem here but do nothing about it?"

The Venerable slowly spread out his arms, showing his whole body.

“I believe Mr. Di already has the answer in his heart, precisely because of… me! Benjamin’s existence.

I am the weight of this city. The supervisory team I created spends several times more energy than investigators to maintain the balance of this city!
Think about it, how many people die every year in the exploration of the corner? Only when a large number of pituitary glands are produced and a large number of investigators are formed can more talents be selected to explore the corner.

Under my influence, the entire Moon City, as the largest high-quality pituitary supply base, vigorously promotes human exploration of new corners and increases the possibility of the survival of human civilization.

In human history, any event related to the survival of civilization is full of sacrifice.

Just think about it, when the corner first appeared on this island, how many people disappeared? And how many people died during the initial exploration, hundreds of millions, even billions!
Compared with these sacrifices, what are the deaths in Moon City?
The residents here were originally non-contributing people who were eliminated and exiled, and some were even involved in crimes.

What kind of life would those children in the orphanage have without my management? Thrown into the trash by their parents, sold as commodities, or sold for their organs?
I gave them a new life, taught them how to survive, and showed them a way to rise.

Even if they fail on this path and become fake people, they still have a chance to survive and become trainers or expatriates of the inspection team.

Their pituitary glands also need to be recovered and turned in for exploration of the corners.

As for the status of the entire monitoring group, you have also seen it.

Everyone trains and works in an orderly manner, shouldering the important weight of the Moon City and maintaining the stability of this festering balance. "

The Venerable suddenly lowered his posture and looked at Luo Di in front of him with a smile:
"Mr. Di...if you are willing to join us, I am willing to invest 50% of my resources in you.

Just like the 4hs website I created has specially arranged a [Moon Zone] for you~ I can meet your supply and demand in the human world.

The murderous groups under my control can all serve as nutrients for your growth.

After all, as long as you can eventually go to the Exploration Bureau and explore the corners as a representative of mankind, I will be serving the country."

The Venerable took another snack and put it in his mouth. He lowered his voice slightly and leaned forward, shortening the conversation distance between the two people:

"Of course, you can also treat what I said as nonsense and remain determined to kill me. However, the mess left behind needs to be solved by yourselves.

Once I die,

The entire Moon City will be in turmoil, and this long-suppressed abscess will erupt completely.

And you, Mr. Di, will also be labeled a "murderer" for killing me, a dedicated civil servant, and will always stand on the opposite side of humanity.

Your parents’ spirits in heaven would not want this outcome, and your friends would not want to see you become like this.

Just need to remind you that,

The Moon City was not founded by me. I was just a supervisor assigned here after passing the screening of the capital.

Even if I don't do these things, there will be more people who will rush to do them, and even do them worse than me.

So, please make your choice, Mr. Di.

I personally also like horror themes such as murderers, and the ultimate responsibility of the Supervisory Group itself is to train an explorer who is decisive in killing to serve the country.

If Mr. Di is willing to be our final answer.

The moon will be your back and your new home.

If you are not interested in this, you can leave directly. I will continue to operate 4hs and help Mr. Di complete the final pituitary completion.

If you want to leave Moon City directly, then we can only meet again if fate allows.

If you want to kill me, now is the best opportunity."

The Venerable's body kept leaning forward, actively showing his neck.

Rody remained expressionless from beginning to end.

He didn't listen to the Venerable's words at all. He had been thinking about the simplest question since he stepped into the building.

≮To kill or not to kill? ≯
He had always been able to come up with an answer quickly in the past, but this time he hesitated.

His head was sealed with a jaw-splitting device, his brain was stimulated with wire, and he was clearly very awake. But this time, it was difficult for him to make a decision.

Killing him would most likely only be a temporary solution. Rody would become a murderer for killing an important member of the FBI, and might even be sentenced to death, and would never be able to fulfill his promise to others.

The most important thing is that the Moon City itself may not change at all, and his killing is meaningless.

If he doesn't kill, he won't deserve to be associated with the term murderer, nor will he deserve to go to the real hell.

Looking at the defenseless neck in front of him that could be easily cut off, Rody finally did not take action.

He needs to return to the hotel.
Soaking in the cold bathtub and thinking carefully, I need to think about this problem from the root.

Or maybe he needs to return to Pluto City, to the mental hospital he is most familiar with, take some medicine, and be hung on a torture device to think it all through.

Ding!
Luo Di no longer looked at the venerable in front of him, nor did he say anything in response. With an indifferent look in his eyes, he stood up and left.

"Mr. Di, if you have made up your mind, you are always welcome to come back and talk to me. I am looking forward to our cooperation, and I also hope to discuss the relevant theories of the killer with you next time we meet."

The Venerable did not see the guest off, but simply waved his hand lightly to open the door.

The elevator that was previously under repair has also been put into operation again.

Luo Di took the elevator back to the first floor and walked out of the concrete building known as the "Moon Weight".

Moonlight bathing,

Walking on Yuehuan Street in the middle of the night,
His mind was still lingering on the dilemma of whether to kill or not.

So much so that when he walked across the sidewalk, he didn't notice the person coming towards him.

Snapped!
Rody only felt that he hit something very light. When he came to his senses, a thin, malnourished girl had been knocked to the ground. She looked like she was not even sixteen years old.

The fall was very heavy.

Even if the skin is broken,

Even if blood is shed,

Even if the pain has been transmitted to the brain,
She still gritted her teeth and held the balloon tightly in one hand.

This was her sales mission for the day. If she couldn't sell enough balloons and earn enough money to go home, she didn't know what her alcoholic father would do to her.

however.

Because Rody was thinking about something, he forgot to restrain his murderous intent when he looked at the girl.

Ordinary people can't stand such a gaze.

Just one look made the girl completely terrified. Even though she instinctively wanted to grab the balloon in her hand, she let go because she was too scared.

Colorful hydrogen balloons flew out of hands and floated into the sky.

The girl looked up at the balloon that had slipped out of her hand. Her survival instinct urged her frail body to stand up suddenly, even though her arm was still bleeding from the fall.

She jumped with all her might, trying to catch the balloons.

But her finger was getting farther and farther away from the balloon.

Endless despair filled the girl's eyes almost instantly. Her body, which stopped jumping, began to tremble, as if she had already thought about what would happen when she returned home later.

suddenly,

The girl turned her gaze towards Rody in front of her.
He threw it at the "culprit" who caused the balloon to slip out of his hand.

Rody also kept looking at the girl, looking at her thin body, the faintly visible scars, and the desperate expression after the balloon was lost.

current,

The two looked at each other.

Roddy originally thought that the other party would give him an angry and blaming look because of the lost balloon.

But what you actually see is something else... It's a look of wanting death, a look of complete despair for life, and seeing death as a relief.

hum!
A strong tinnitus echoed in Rody's brain.

His messy thoughts were suddenly cleared.

He looked up at the colorful balloons floating in the sky, recalling his experiences since he set foot in Moon City, and recalling the unforgivable murderous girl named Wendy.

My brain, which was as chaotic as a tangled mess, seemed to have an extra balloon string that sorted everything out.

"You have received a face-to-face transfer of 1000000 rubles"

The girl was stunned when she received a notification in her account.

follow closely,

The young man walked up to her and did not fulfill her wish to die. Instead, he took out a small metal container like a magic trick and handed it to her.

"This is for you...Live well and leave this city."

The girl did not thank him, she just nodded seriously.

It seemed that the young man in front of her was the first person who spoke to her sincerely and the first person who understood her heart.

Whatever was in this container, she would take it seriously.

Looking at the girl walking away, looking at her back disappearing into the night, Rody's mind became clearer than ever before.

“It seems that I am still far from being a true killer, and I still have a long way to go.

If it was Hua Yuan, there wouldn't be so much useless thinking. Back on the island, I taught her not to think too much, it was obviously a very simple matter.

Yes~ It’s obviously a simple matter, why should we worry so much?

If this world is truly rotten, then I must be the first to fester...

Hell is my home, if I don’t go to hell, who will?”
