Chapter 116 The Stairway to the Future
The dirty and messy factory was filled with harsh cutting sounds. Fan Liang looked away from the machine tool and looked around. He found many blond workers around him busy at work, all with blank eyes, like machines.
The dungeon I entered this time is called [Stairway to the Future]. I can't analyze any information from the name, and I didn't get the exact task.
Where to start?
Looking through the memories in my brain, I found that there were very few.I only know that I live alone, and there is a boy named Jesse who works with him in a factory.
Obviously, Jesse is the key figure in [Stairway to the Future].
Let's find him first.
Fan Liang made up his mind and planned to leave the machining workshop and go to the assembly workshop where Jesse was.But suddenly, a fat black man threw his hat on the ground and said something very inflammatory.
"Stop it! Everyone, stop it!"
The workers seem to have not heard the cries of the black people, and they are still focused on doing their work. Their faces are expressionless, like a body that has lost its soul.
A black name suddenly appeared in Fan Liang's mind.
Walter.
What surprised him even more was that Walter's head turned out to be the head of a light bulb, a common incandescent lamp with no brain inside and a glowing filament.
"Why? Why are you doing this??"
Walter pulled over a white woman and shook her shoulders vigorously, but the woman couldn't focus her eyes and stared blankly at Walter.
"Why are we working like puppets? Why? Don't you have anything to say?"
Walter's hands were so hard that his nails were embedded in the white woman's flesh. He said angrily: "We are working every day except for work. We have no space for freedom. We can't even have our own thoughts. Our existence is for The country contributes, but what does the country give us?"
"To take away our right to speak is to take away our dignity!
To rob our minds of our soul is to rob us of our lives!
Yes, I never knew what it meant to live like a puppet! "
Walter let go of the person he was holding, sat on the ground and cried, "Why? Why are you at the mercy of others? Why can't you listen to what I say?"
Indeed, no one responded to Walter's words. They were still concentrating on their work, while the white woman who had been sprayed with saliva turned her body to the machine tool and continued to be busy day after day.
Fan Liang pondered for a few seconds, and was about to walk towards Walter, but just as his left foot was lifted, the alarm bell rang loudly.
The movements of the hands of the people in the workshop stopped at the same time, they raised their heads, and after a brief hesitation, they rushed towards Fan Liang like a herd of frightened bison, ran past him, and shrank to the corner.
As for Walter.
His face was full of fear, and his legs seemed to be weak. He struggled to get up and slipped and fell to the ground. After repeated several times, he finally realized that he could not use his legs to leave, so he quickly crawled out. When they arrived at the door, four pairs of leather shoes appeared in front of them.
look up.
It's four men in black with sunglasses.
Poker face.
Looking down at Walter's pin-sharp eyes.
"Mr. Walter, you've become a freak."
The men in black are the regulators of this world. They obey the king and maintain the stability of society.The weirdo is the main factor that threatens society.
What they have to do is simple.
Just clear.
"I'm not a weirdo, you are weirdos!" After finishing speaking, Walter roared hysterically again, "It's the country! It's the king! He's depriving us of our thinking brains, he..."
A click.
Walter's bulb head was smashed with a baton, the filament lost its light, and Walter was dragged away like a corpse.
The supervisor left without saying a word, and the tense bodies of the workers in the workshop quickly relaxed. They returned to their posts like walking corpses and continued their work. It was as if what happened to Walter never happened.
Fan Liang vaguely guessed something, but he didn't have a clearer understanding of the world, so it's not a good thing to act rashly.
He decided to wait until after get off work.
Time passed by, Fan Liang spent a long afternoon in breath adjustment, and waited until the evening when he got off work.
When the bell rang, the workers walked out of the workshop in an orderly manner, their expressions still unchanged, as if they were NPCs living in a cheap game.
Fan Liang was going to No. 353 Broad Street, which was Jesse's address.There are thousands of workers in his factory, and it is not easy to find someone during off-duty hours, so why not go directly to Jesse's house.
But just as he was about to leave, someone shouted from behind.
"Fan."
Fan Liang turned around, he was a Caucasian boy, wearing greasy overalls, smiling all over his face.
"Hi, Jesse."
Fan Liang responded with a smile.
This caused a flash of surprise in the eyes of the little Caucasian brother. Obviously, he was very surprised by Fan Liang's performance.
"Want to have a drink?" Jessie issued an invitation and looked at Fan Liang expectantly.
"of course."
What reason does Fan Liang have to disagree?
"Let's go."
Jesse turned his head to the factory gate, motioning for Fan Liang to go with him.
After leaving the factory, the street has been covered with a layer of gray, and the colorful sign lights are flickering, full of lively atmosphere.For many people, the day has just begun, but for people in this world, that is not the case.
The two entered a bar.
Instead of choosing to sit at the bar, they found a relatively quiet place to sit down. They ordered two large glasses of rye beer, and then stared at the drinks in front of them in silence.
"Are those two from the same factory as us?" Fan Liang spoke first, looked at the two sitting at the bar and drank, and said with a smile, "Their relationship doesn't look as good as expected, look at their expressions , It’s like drinking horse urine, since drinking together is so painful, why do you want to get together?”
Fan Liang shrugged, expressing helplessness.
There was no response from Jesse for a long time.
Fan Liang looked over strangely, and found that Jesse was looking at him dumbfounded.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Jesse's mouth opened wider and his eyes widened.
Fan Liang couldn't help frowning, suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, he stood up hastily, and scanned all the people having fun in the bar.
He found that all the people were drinking and drinking, and there was no one chatting.He even found that no matter whether they were in suits or sloppy clothes, all the people had blank eyes, no different from the workers in the workshop.
Suddenly, Fan Liang felt his head go cold, and his hat was snatched away by Jesse.
"how is this possible?!"
Jesse sounded in disbelief, shocked by what he saw.
Thank you, then you want me to name it, Ye Xiangyi’s reward, Kawen, it’s so painful
