Overturned Tower - Vol 2.3 Chapter 71
【Overturned Tower】【】
When meeting Xiaoya for the first time yesterday, Hang Zhan heard the legend about the “werewolf” on Yongquan Island from her.
The self-proclaimed “Werewolf” serial killer is ostensibly an anti-chip activist. He fanatically attacked the top executives of various companies and demanded that newborn babies no longer be equipped with chips.
This appeal sounds as if it reveals some kind of divinity, with a great sense of cleanliness of self-sacrifice for others. After all, the “werewolf”‘s appeal has nothing to do with him, and he will not get any benefits from it.
But a smarter person will realize that this is an absolutely impossible request. Nowadays, the order, commerce, finance, and even the development of various industries in the sky island are all based on “chip” technology. Suddenly removing the chip is like taking away the base of a tall building out of thin air.
Since everyone knows that the werewolf’s demands are absolutely impossible to come true…then there are only two possibilities.
One possibility is that His Excellency the “Werewolf” is a hard-headed lunatic. Knowing that he will not get any results, he would rather burn his life to death… His behavior is actually no different from committing suicide by hitting a wall. They all terrified people with heroic deaths, but they couldn’t change anything.
Another possibility… is that everything he does is a show. The chip is not important at all, what is important is the existence of “werewolves” in people’s cognition. Just like what the hangman said to Xiaoya before… as long as werewolves are still active, many crimes can be labeled as werewolves.
When night falls, people put on wolf skins and eat people. But when the day comes again, everyone takes off their wolf skins, and there are gentle and nice gentlemen inside. After “werewolves” became some kind of public perception, all this has been irreparable.
Even if the executive department of Yongquan Island really arrests the original “werewolf”, the carnival will not stop because of this. People have a thousand reasons to deny that the werewolf has been captured. They have a thousand excuses to say that this is just another show, and the one caught is just a stand-in, an actor, an innocent scapegoat lamb.
—In the end, it’s because people need werewolves. That’s why werewolves came into being.
But Xiaoya is not very interested in this kind of urban legend after all, and werewolves are just a small adjustment in people’s lives now. Although it has been put on the table, it has not become the focus of the topic…so the information given by Xiaoya is not complete.
And from the mouth of this prosthetic doctor who talked a lot, Hang Ling got more and more detailed information:
“Werewolf” is actually a legend with quite a history. It can even be traced back to the earthly age.
There is a race of people who look like normal people…but when the full moon comes, they go berserk and become upright wolves. This race is called “Werewolves”. If bitten by a mad werewolf, it will also be infected and become a new werewolf.
“Is it infected…”
Hang Hang murmured in a low voice: “Werewolves can make more people become werewolves and suffer from a contagious madness. That’s why he named him Werewolf.”
No wonder.
He finally understood why the other party was called this name.
Strangling can even roughly imagine the opponent’s appearance—

In Strangling’s intuition, the “werewolf” should be a man in his thirties. According to the experience of strangulation, this “werewolf” should be a paranoid and autistic conspirator. He was probably bespectacled, decadent, unshaven, and taciturn. He probably won’t have any friends… because his personal ability will far exceed the social circle around him, and his personality will make him unacceptable.
If such a guy gains the ability to change the world one day, he will become very terrifying. Because he has no fears, only a melancholy that cannot be expressed. And he doesn’t have any friends with whom he can talk, share, discuss, and stop his overly radical thoughts.
Judging from the current chaos in Yongquan Island, the werewolf should be happy to see the current chaos, and even actively contribute to it.
Although the “Werewolf” is just a mortal, he is bound to become a disaster—a disaster that even the company cannot fight. Because the werewolf is not a person, he is the aggregation of evil thoughts in everyone’s hearts, and it is the place to open people’s evil thoughts.
strong key. The prison door has been opened, evil thoughts and malice have been released, and his own existence is meaningless.
Even killing the werewolf would not help.
So far… sooner or later, the “werewolf” will land on the island of happiness. Because he is not for any ideal, nor does he have any clear purpose. A person with direction, his actions can be blocked, and his behavior can be predicted. But he didn’t think about anything, if he just wanted to cause chaos…
Such people are the most terrifying.
To be honest, Strangling really wants to see the Godfather and the werewolf touch each other.
Because from the werewolf, Hanging vaguely saw the taste of “the veil of ignorance”.
Although Hang Hang didn’t go to school…he didn’t have much culture, but he wasn’t stupid. Able to break free from his father’s grip, able to remain intact in the company’s machinations, and ultimately able to find his way among the major powers of the downtown area, he is irascible, but he is by no means a dull man.
He is very clear that the “final justice” brought by the veil of ignorance promised by the “discordant”-the kind of complete subversion of the current social state is just a lie.
Because people are not omniscient, every decision they make will be wrong to a certain extent; because people will make mistakes, people cannot be fully responsible for all their decisions.
The kind of democratic voting that excludes all positions and decides all matters pursued by the veil of ignorance is the premise of omniscience—people must thoroughly understand the hardships, work content, and task requirements of all walks of life, understand their difficulties and interests, and understand society. The degree of need for them and how their various products are digested in all aspects of society. Otherwise, it must be selfish to vote only based on one’s own position.
Such a “veil of ignorance” will never usher in absolute fairness and justice – but will only bring about infinite disputes, internal chaos, and self-destruction.
—Only after people have “omniscience” can they take a step back and talk about “ignorance”.
That is the scenery that can only be seen after having everything and giving it up. Instead of pretending that you have given them up when you don’t have them all at the very beginning. Whether you have had it or not, and whether you can have it is a very important difference.

The ignorant are just stirring up trouble.
But he never imagined…
As an elf director, he was unable to provoke a dispute, but now in Yongquan Island, it has been realized in exactly the same way as he was back then.
“The person who hurt you came from the werewolves, the group.”
The prosthetic doctor sighed and ended the long operation.
“Werewolves, what about groups?”
“Hmm. Although there is only one real werewolf, the ‘worship,’ werewolf crowd has formed various groups. There are real anti-chip idiots who worship werewolves as real; Temporary Anbu formed for the purpose of laying black hands on enemies and stirring up trouble; there are also gangsters who simply enjoy the collapse of order and hate everyone, gather together to plan revenge on society.
“Regardless of what the original werewolves thought, ‘Werewolves, the era has already begun. A lot of people don’t want it to end like this.’”
The doctor took off his breathing mask while packing his things: “They probably thought that you were here to deal with the werewolf incident… Be careful, they will come again if they can come once. There are probably some of them in the relief agency.” People. They’re everywhere… just to start a war…”
“—Can I assemble the prosthetic body?”
Strangling couldn’t wait to interrupt the prosthetic doctor’s words. With a stiff and urinating body, he slowly got up from the operating chair and moved the small part of his arm that he welded to the prosthetic chassis: “Just plug it in, right?” ?”
“You have to wait two hours,” the doctor said lazily, “plug it in now, and you’ll die of pain.
“Go to the bathroom first, and wait for Xiaoya to bring you breakfast. After eating, come back and get two bottles of 5% cognitive enhancer IV infusion. When the heart rate drops below 50, it will be easier to plug it in. it is good…”
But at this moment, the doctor suddenly changed
turned pale.
He seemed to have received some news, and his whole body suddenly became tense.
He put down the equipment in his hand directly, and walked over to Hang Ling in two steps.
He just wanted to reach out to touch the strangulation, but his hand was stretched halfway, but he retracted again.
“What’s wrong?”
Hang Kill impatiently asked, “Don’t be such a bitch, what happened?”
“Xiaoya sent a message that something happened to her.”
The doctor was silent for a while, but he still spoke up.
Hang Kill also changed his face when he heard the words, and his face was solemn: “Where is it? What’s the situation? How many people?”
“It’s very close! Go out and turn left, 1,300 meters… It’s not that something happened to her, but when she came back, she encountered a large-scale gang fight. I don’t know how many people, but small and medium-sized mechas were used, There are also some mages who are now hiding in nearby stores, and I don’t know how long I can last. I have to go to Mr. Huang first! Damn, I don’t know where he is.”
But as soon as the doctor said this, Hang Sha pressed his shoulder.
“Don’t worry, doctor.”
With a sullen face, he said in a low voice: “Connect the prosthetic hand to me first. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”
“…It hurts to death to pick up this thing now.”
The prosthetic doctor understood the meaning of strangulation in an instant, but he frowned and warned: “It’s not much more comfortable than a steel needle in your shoulder. If it hurts like that, it’s useless even if you run over.”

“Hey. I thought it was going to hurt, that’s it?”
Hang Sha sneered and said, “Just tell me if you can take it.”
“It’s definitely possible…”
The doctor took a deep look at Stretch: “You said this yourself. Don’t blame me for the pain.”
“Don’t disgust me. I’m not that kind of person.”
“Row.”
The doctor said, and first sent a brief message for help to Mr. Huang.
Then he patted the breathing mask he had just taken off into Hang Shou’s arms: “Put it on and take ten deep breaths. Don’t take it off after you go out, keep wearing it and continue to take deep breaths.”
“Could you please hurry?” Strangled urged.
“***Don’t talk, just take your deep breath—”
The prosthetic doctor picked up the prosthetic hand next to it, plugged in various lines, and began to download drivers for it and change various initial settings.
His hands flew quickly in the void in front of him, his face turned fierce: “In two minutes, I will definitely be able to connect you!”
Strangling took a deep breath, and the white smoke was entangled in the mask. Mech. Xiaoya. gang.
Oh, really familiar.
The mage…is that the one who attacks the inferior?
This is not a coincidence.
The dark golden light in his pupils flickered with his breathing.
