Overturned Tower - v2 Chapter 15 do what you want

【Overturned Tower】【】

Fredericka is Xayah's real name.

He hadn't called Xia by her name for a long time since she was an adult. This kind of address means to respect the other person's independent personality at the social level more than treating the other person as part of the family.

But now, as a father for a long time, he spoke slowly to Xia: "I believe that even if most people are deceived for a while, they will eventually wake up. Unless they receive insufficient education, what they get The intelligence is wrong. And if this is the case, then the education department and the media should also be the problem. There is no wise general who can command a war when the intelligence is completely wrong, so we should not require people to be able to see through lies.

"Even though they are perpetrators on a grand scale, part of the chaos, that doesn't mean they're evil. They're stupid at best. But more often than not, it's the sane and intelligent people who, because of overthinking And keep silent, only those who don't use their brains will talk and do it in the first place... So the fools you see are actually mostly the same group of people.

“I still believe in right and wrong, it’s just that smarter, more rational people have a stronger social self-awareness—the more rational people think, the less they want to fight animals to the death, so they don’t want to offend madmen. In other words, they're not talking because they think they're the underdog at the moment.... As soon as we change the situation, when they realize they're not in a headwind anymore, they'll come forward.

"They will have a heart that can't wait to share the truth, liquidate the resentment of those who make them dissatisfied, and deeply reflect the superiority of their wisdom and understanding ability, and they will come out of their brains..."

Having said that, Dodge paused.

As if to leave it to Xayah to defend, but Xayah just looked at him calmly and intently.

Dodgson was a little surprised.

"...I thought you were going to say something like 'then they're just cowards, not good people,' or something like that."

"If it was me in the past, maybe I would really say that."

Xia sighed: "But I will grow up too... Dad. They don't have any social obligation to stand up, and no one can ask them to ignore danger and give their lives for the sake of morality and truth. Then How can I accuse them of standing by? They are doing us a favor by not being involved.

"In the final analysis, I'm not smarter, more rational, or superior than them. It's just because I have a higher status, so I have access to more information and secrets. If I were from the same background as them, I'm afraid that I am now There will be more panic.

"If that's the case, how can I criticize others?"

After Dodgson called her Fredericka for a long time, she also called Dad for a long time.

Dodgson stared blankly at Xia, as if meeting his daughter for the first time.

"…You've grown up."

He sighed with emotion in a low voice, and the expression on his face was unprecedentedly complicated.

Director Dodgson's faint smile was covered with a layer of bitterness and sadness. But at the same time, there is a kind of pride and euphoria, as well as the sense of loss after watching a certain long drama.

"So... Xayah, what do you want to do?"

"I guess the chairman must have given you a ban... For example, you can't directly intervene in it, or the board of directors can't take sides. Otherwise, you probably would have shot it long ago. You won't wait until the public opinion has been brewing for several days now. like a statue."

Xia asked earnestly, "Can you tell me? What is your bottom line?

"To be selfish—although I want to wake people up, so that they don't regret the foolish actions they have done now, or make mistakes and break the pot under the torture of guilt; I also want to save Mark who dared to speak and Courageous and smart people, because they will be the backbone of future human beings.

"But if the price of all this is to put my father in danger... I can't do this.

"Like those 'cowards,' you said earlier."

"...you have also become smooth

some. "

Dodgson smiled bitterly: "It's about the same. But strictly speaking, what Saron told us was not 'don't take sides, but' don't make any big troubles."

"—Isn't this a big deal now?"

"It's just a group of people arguing online."

Dodgson said calmly: "As long as you give them a sense of peace of mind, they will forget the virtual hatred of wanting to kill each other's family through the Internet in a blink of an eye, and they will even forget their current mood and the viewpoint they support. Look at that Little brother... Although he can be pushed and cursed, no one will beat him, let alone kill him, right?

"After all, this incident has been brewing for five days. The total number of people who died due to this incident is less than 20... There are 40 million people in Happy Island. That is to say, the Fuji Society is now whitewashing If you become a full-time employee, twice as many mercenaries can die in one night without any quarrels or disputes. Do you think this will be a major event that makes the board of directors collectively silent?"

"...Indeed."

Xia nodded reluctantly, but could only admit it.

The factories were not destroyed, and there were no gun battles on the streets—the Tianen Group did not send out the executive department, nor did it send out the Mechanics Division, the Heavy Mechanics, and even the angels who couldn't bear the sand in their eyes. More than 20 people died in the five days. Looking at this number alone, it doesn't seem like a lot... But in the various video links, clips, pictures, and news that are repeatedly pasted and reposted by netizens, there is a constant stack of mania brewing , anxiety and hatred.

"It's just methane from the fermenting of second-hand excrement—it looks like it's going to be blown up, but in fact it's gone after just one blow."

Dodgson shook his head: "Because people don't realize at all what is the concept of 'resource scarcity'. In the island of happiness, 30% of people think that beef grows from supermarkets, and 40% think that beef is synthesized from factories in the downtown area. In fact, they don't understand what 'resources' are at all. They simply understand that 'they are going to starve to death... But in fact, even if the resources are really exhausted, they will not starve to death.

"Totling has long mastered solar energy synthesis technology, and Sogo Group has their fully automatic hydroponic farm technology. Resources refer to more serious things...the future of this world. Rather than daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation concept.

"To put it bluntly, even if it's just to appease the people, the Seven Islands won't let them starve. It's easy for the Seven Giants."

When he said this, he looked at Xia seriously: "The truth is this—

"The dragon is coming back. I hope you can remember that the dragon is the real master of this world.

"The status of elves, the founding of corporations, the unwritten customary law...and the stupid and backward airships, and the obliteration of the concept of 'written records of the past' were all at the request of the dragon.

"But now, this incident has alarmed the dragons. They plan to return to the Seven Islands and conduct a review of the company—or, in other words, the board of directors.

"The folly of the populace is tolerated because they know nothing and can do nothing. But if the directors do something in it, they will pay the price. And most importantly...the dragon I haven't been back for a long time, and none of us know what is wrong in the dragon's concept; we don't even know how the dragon will punish people who have done something wrong. Everything is a mystery.

"—It's good not to do it. This is not an order from the board of directors, but an admonition, or a notice. Sai Lun told us, don't do something that shouldn't be done at this time. Once you anger the dragon, or make the dragon feel If you're incompetent...then it's not a 'paid retirement,' issue."

"...So, as a member of your immediate family, do I also need to keep silent?"

Xia confirmed with some reluctance.

"-No."

However, Dodgson seriously refused.

"Just do what you want," he said softly, "If it's wrong to eliminate rumors, maintain order, and uphold justice, then let the dragon judge.

"I think you can do no wrong

. I also believe that you have grown up now, you have your own judgment, you have a calm head, and you will not go too far.

"so…"

Dodgson said, peeling off the magnetic nameplate on his chest.

Seriously and seriously, he stuck it on Xia's chest. Then reach out and press it, activate it with the authority of the director, and confirm the authority transfer.

Looking at the many confirmation windows that kept popping up in front of her eyes, Xia suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Dodgson authorized all the authority in all fields that he could give to Xia to the maximum extent. That means, apart from her lack of connections and the trust of her subordinates, in terms of authority and power, she is about equal to Director Dodgson at this moment.

This is undoubtedly a serious violation.

The authorization of each power by the human directors of the seven giants must be reported to the elf directors in the board of directors. Although the chairman will basically not refuse, and each director has more or less privately authorized once or twice, but on the surface, private authorization is not allowed. This is also a protection for human directors.

When it is liquidated in the future, Dodgson's directors will be done.

But if Xia can be recognized by the dragon or the board of directors for her achievements during this period...she may also have a chance to take over Dodgson's position.

"Don't think too much, UU reading www.uukanshu.com also don't feel pressure..."

【Overturned Tower】【】

Dodgson seemed to be relieved, and slowly sat down and collapsed on the bed.

He just closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, I also feel... the position of director is somewhat untenable. It really doesn't suit me..."

"Then leave it to me."

Xia said seriously: "I will not let you down... Dad."

"...ah."

Dodgson hummed meaninglessly, he hesitated for a long time and thought twice. At this time, what should I say?

The orange cat thought suddenly.

Dad is proud of you? She has long been my pride.

Want to do things smarter? She doesn't need to remind herself now. Do you want to trust your companions and the people? In this regard, she might do better than herself.

After all, Dodgson didn't really want to be a director. The reason why he achieved this position is just because he feels that he seems to be able to do something and change something.

And now...

He even felt tricky and powerless.

Today's swift retreat is not a kind of escape?

But she is so brave.....

Thinking of this, Dodgson finally knew what kind of advice he could give her.

So, as a father, he spoke seriously and gave what he could give... the final warning:

"—Anyway, stay safe. I love you."

"I love you too, Dad."
