MTL - The 21st Century of the Gangsters Everywhere-~ Sixty-eight short stories

"Besides, do you want to hear a story?"

"Eh?"

"Once upon a time, there was a man named Azrael, who was a natural person."

"???"

"His ability is good, but his character is not very good. The arrogant and arrogant character of Western chaebols who can't afford to lose is vividly reflected in him. He can't see adjustment classmates who are better than himself in all aspects, so he brought a group of them. The same virtuous natural person wants to bully the adjuster classmate.

In the end, the adjuster knocked down the entire crew by himself.

So Azrael went home and asked his mother, "Why am I not an adjuster?" His mother answered him with a slap in the face and a sentence, "I don't want to give birth to that kind of monster." "

"!!"

"This incident, as well as the fact that the adjuster classmates are still better than him in all aspects, has always stimulated him."

"If I can't be the same as the adjusters, then if I kill all the adjusters, I will still be the strongest. Anyone who is stronger than me should die! Azrael thought so."

"This story... does it have anything to do with me?"

Kira blinked.

"This story, you listen to it the other way around. Isn't it you?" Li Ping tilted his head to look at Qianxi's resolute face that no one wanted to deal with.

"Why can't I be a natural person?"

"Why am I different from others?"

"Why can I only do these things."

"Because as parents, they don't want their children to be left behind."

"In order to give the child a stronger foundation, so that the child can have a better future."

"The evolution of mankind and the future of mankind are all illusory. Only this is true."

"This is a blessing from the world to you adjusters. Of course, it seems to be your curse now."

After all, the second generation of adjusters is infertile per capita... The second generation of adjusters has difficulty even being a parent, let alone giving their children a future.

"This…"

"Kira-kun, people are inherently unequal. When everyone is a natural person, it is also when everyone is drinking blood. But after the development of social productivity, this kind of inequality becomes due to the decrease of survival pressure. It's not obvious anymore. The distance between people also seems to be getting closer due to the progress of technology.

But the distance between people has actually become larger..." Li Ping remembered the mentally retarded group of people who are still tirelessly looking for the devil to lead the way in the real world.

"what?"

"People will only believe what they want to believe. The big data on the Internet has further strengthened this trend, and it has been directly strengthened to the point that when you see more, under the push of big data, you will only see what you want to see. Degree.

This point is even more excessive in the Atlantic Federation where capital is king, dividing the public, creating opposition, and exaggerating topics... The media can do everything for traffic and popularity. First was the regime, then the state, then the color, then the gender, then the sexual orientation... and now, it's the adjusters who are on the cusp. "

"A world of blue and normal? What is a blue and normal world? No one knows. All they know is that the adjusters took them and never got their jobs, and all they knew was that the adjusters were rich-class workers. The monsters created, they only know that they want to kill all the monsters in the sky."

"This kind of thing..."

"The people are stupid, Kira-kun. Have you read a book called "The Crowd"?"

"Uh... no."

"The point of this book, in a nutshell, is that once a person enters a group, he becomes an "unconscious" savage.

Reasoning, logic, intelligence, these conscious "rational" factors, play only a small role in the human mind.

Most of a person's actions follow feelings and are dominated by "unconscious factors" such as emotions, instincts, and desires.

When a group of people gather together, the emotions, desires, and instincts that everyone has will be superimposed and magnified infinitely, forming a vast sea of ​​unconsciousness.

They entered a hypnotized psychedelic state, where they could only perform conditioned reflexes and completely lost their ability to think. What is even more terrifying is that after being controlled by instinctual desires, people in the group will lose their sense of responsibility and become crazy and brutal savages. People in criminal groups do not think they are committing a crime, but are performing a great and honorable task.

Just like the average believer in the blue universe. They really believe that killing the Regulators is opening up a better future for humanity. A normal world for the sake of blue, as they call it. "

"It seems that you are really thinking about the nature of these things, Captain Li Ping."

"Representative Ashar? When did you come here?" Li Ping turned to look at Uzmi Yura Ashar who was standing on the MS storage rack.

"From the time you started telling the story, the protagonist of the story you told should not happen to have the same name as the leader of the blue universe, right? Is this the gossip from where?"

"It's all rumors, God knows whether these things are true or not. But Ashar representative, what is Obu going to do in this war. Now that Panama is about to fall, Obu's Kaguya is the most accessible mass accelerator on Earth."

"Panama is about to fall?"

"We cannot win this war without destroying or occupying all mass accelerators on Earth."

"Do you think you can win?"

"Because they all have to die if they don't want to win... In other words, will there really be a winner in this war? Let those extremists hold the button of nuclear weapons. Who the **** is in power in the Atlantic Federation..."

"This is the so-called chaebol politics." Representative Ashar smiled.

"Speaking of which... Orbu seems to be a clan politics that is more prone to problems than chaebol politics." Li Ping looked at the representative of Ashar curiously. Your Orb's government is a bit like an ancient feudal country.

"So Aub's internal and external troubles are particularly serious. For example, the G-series and the Archangel developed by Dawning Society for the Atlantic Federation in Helipolis were made by some people inside Aub who could not withstand the pressure of the Atlantic Federation. All this It was all done without my knowledge."

"Let me guess... the Sahak family?"

"...You have done a lot of homework, yes, it is indeed the Sahak family who presided over the development of the G series. However, you are obviously just a captain and pilot, so you really pay attention to a lot of things. You know your influence Has the force been extended?"

"Oh? Did Aslan kill her father? Or did Lux ​​fool her father into lame? Or did Siegel and Patrick openly fight?"

"Young man, what's wrong with you..." Seeing Li Ping's face, his face lit up instantly, and Representative Ashar's face darkened. "The upgrade components for the Assault and Divine Shield have been sent, do you understand what it means?"

"...Oh, fuck."
