"Are you afraid?" Zhang Heng asked.
"It would be a lie to say that I'm not afraid." Qiu Ming smiled bitterly. "Originally, I thought this matter could be resolved peacefully. If it was someone else, I was confident that they wouldn't kill me afterward. But if it's you, I have no confidence at all. Because of my work, I also studied you a little, and the conclusion is that I can't see through you at all."
Qiu Ming paused and continued, "No wonder you didn't have much of a reaction when I told you the truth about New Shanghai 0297. Did you already know about these things? Speaking of which, how did you enter New Shanghai 0297? What's your purpose? No, forget it … Don't tell me. I still want to live longer. "
"I promised you that if you cooperate well, I won't kill you," Zhang Heng said lightly.
Qiu Ming didn't say anything when he heard this. Instead, he took two more puffs of his cigarette. From the look on his face, it was obvious that he didn't believe Zhang Heng's promise. He had been weighing something.
After about five minutes, Qiu Ming seemed to have made up his mind and said again, "You're helping Mr. G now, right?"
"Huh?"
"Mr. G and I have known each other for a long time. When he was still in the emergency response team and was known as the strongest clone in the emergency response team in a hundred years, I gave him a USB flash drive with a movie inside."
"'Symbolic Exchange and Death'?"
"You do know this movie," Qiu Ming said. "I was born in a very famous family. One of my uncles is a member of the Shengtang Morgan board of directors. I didn't have too many material troubles since I was young. In addition, I wasn't the main heir that the family was grooming, so I didn't have that much competitive pressure. So, although I've received many memory codes, most of them were on skills. I didn't do much to my personality. This also allowed me to retain some of the bad habits unique to young people.
"At that time, I had just come to work in New Shanghai 0297. My job was to supervise the normal operations of the branch, especially the daily operations of the management and report to the board of directors. In fact, the management of the branch would also report to the headquarters regularly, so this was an idle job for an ignorant and incompetent young master like me. The power wasn't too great or too small, but it was good enough in that it was easy.
"At first, everything here was very new to me, especially when I saw so many people have to sign contracts with the company in order to survive. After that, they would play a certain role in the city and live in ignorance with another identity. It was quite interesting. In fact, compared to the lifeless world outside where everyone was the same, this place was more like a real, living world. How about it? Doesn't this sound a little ironic?
"… It seems to be a little off topic. Let's talk about New Shanghai 0297. Everyone here believes that one can't choose one's birth, but hard work can change one's fate. But in fact, everyone's birth is chosen by others. Whether you're a beggar on the first floor or a senior executive on the third or fourth floor might just be a difference in the staff's mind.
"For some that are really difficult to choose, we might as well roll the dice to make the decision. Moreover, even if it's a role that has already been assigned, I can use the power in my hands to change it. Out of some mischievous mentality, I once threw a beautiful girl who should have been sent to an entertainment company to be the wife of a fat butcher who weighed almost three hundred pounds. I have to admit that doing so gave me a strong sense of satisfaction at that time. It was as if I was God, able to manipulate other people's lives at will.
"But no matter how fun the game is, there will be a day when I get tired of it. As time went by, I got less and less pleasure from manipulating a person's fate. At the same time, because I was always messing around, it also caused some dissatisfaction in the branch management. However, I didn't take it to heart because I was eager to get new stimulation at that time.
"In the end, I turned my attention to Mr. G. At that time, he wasn't called that yet. He was the captain of the emergency response team, and he believed that he was some kind of clone. Therefore, he didn't dare to betray the person who gave them the mission because the emergency response team's treatment was not bad. In order to let the team members learn and grow, they would not periodically erase their memories. So, I saw Mr. G working hard for Shengtang Morgan, wiping his ass everywhere. If there were any dangerous or difficult special situations, the company would throw these troubles to him and let him solve them.
"I thought he was cute in his stupidity, just like a dog. I gave him the USB flash drive on his birthday. To be honest, now that I think about it, I don't know why I did that at that time. It was probably because I wanted to have fun. Baudrillard's theory has been banned by the federation, and his books and movies have almost all been destroyed. I found the movie in the USB flash drive from my family's collection. I didn't expect Mr. G to be able to see so many things from this movie.
"In short, because of me, he had doubts about his identity, and in the end, he successfully reached the fifth floor and killed his way here. This is the first time since the establishment of New Shanghai 0297, an outsider has entered this place, and this incident resulted in the death of about sixty employees in the base. If you are familiar with the style of those guys above, you should know that no matter what happens, they will find someone responsible immediately, and then push all the blame to that person.
"Unfortunately, it was my turn to play this role this time. I gave Mr. G a USB flash drive, which eventually led to this disaster. The board of directors thought that this was an extremely frivolous and irresponsible performance. My uncle was very disappointed with me. On behalf of the family, he announced that he would sever all ties with me. My status as a special agent was also revoked, and I became the most ordinary employee. Ironically, the culprit who caused all this, Mr. G, had a good attitude after his arrest and confession. The board of directors happened to need someone to help them manage the first floor and reduce costs. So, in the end, he was directly incorporated and entered the management department.
"After that, he went to the first floor alone. I didn't expect that in just a few years, his name would become known to everyone there. After a few more years, people began to call him the Underground Emperor of the first floor. He brought a special order to the first floor, and the management was very satisfied with his performance."
