Volume 5: A New Era Chapter 151 Fear
Liu Lei wasn't sure if he was being brainwashed by Lu Bai.
He just felt that his ideas were more unorthodox than ever before.
Working for the man who killed his entire family.
This crazy idea seemed very normal to him at this moment.
Life in this world is so difficult, and he is just an ordinary warrior.
Images of my past family members emerged in my mind.
My father is a warrior who has worked hard for half his life. However, due to the monopoly of martial arts technology and his own limited talent, he has not made any breakthroughs after working for a company for decades. He was eventually marginalized and never became a well-known warrior.
My mother was a good woman who constantly entertained dignitaries in high-end clubs and then went to various parties with them.
She was very glorious when she was young, but this kind of play made her shelf life pass quickly. Until one party, she was completely exhausted and then given to her father, who was a security guard in the club, as if it were a game.
His own wife was a commoner woman who admired warriors very much. She married him after he started to show his talent.
But as he gradually lost his body and could only use an externalized mechanical body every time they met, she gradually woke up from her boyish admiration and began to place all her hopes on her son.
My son is very sensible. He knows that the opportunity to practice martial arts is hard to come by, so he practices hard every day.
But every time Liu Lei saw his son practicing martial arts, he felt a sense of sadness.
There weren't many things he could teach his son. Most of them were either proprietary techniques like the Wood Figure Kung Fu, or copyrighted items that belonged to the company. If they were leaked outside, the company would be held responsible.
Therefore, he was very clear that in the near future, his son would follow in his footsteps.
First they sell their labor, then their values, and then their personality, and in the process they suffer the continuous loss of their bodies.
The highest realm you can reach is just within the mold that has already been defined by others.
They are like products on an assembly line.
After following the procedures, the products will be qualified and packaged and put into use.
The Terminal External Wooden Man Technique is just a means of encapsulation. Even if other scientific martial arts are practiced, they will have a way to control them.
Other unqualified products are directly thrown into society as waste after their surplus value is squeezed out.
This world is too cruel. They are high-level tools, and the civilians are raw materials. They are exploited and transformed at will by the powerful.
When these tools are not facing the powerful, they at least have some so-called freedom.
But for those civilians, in order to survive, freedom has never been theirs.
In such a sad world, moral sentiment is very precious but the most useless thing.
On the stage, Liu Lei was slow to take action, causing the spectators below to frown.
"Liu Lei, what are you doing? Don't you want to avenge your family?"
"Do you want to be scrapped? Answer me, Liu Lei!"
The supervisor in charge of the operation immediately sent a reprimand.
Even now, when Liu Lei heard such a scolding, he still had an instinct to obey the other party's orders, but he endured it all.
At this moment in the ring, it was the time when they had the least control over him.
"Okay, give me your answer." Lu Bai asked with great interest.
"Now that things have come to this, there is only one answer!" Liu Lei raised his head and looked at Lu Bai with fiery eyes.
"That means I'm loyal to you!" Liu Lei knelt in front of Lu Bai.
This scene completely shocked all the audience, and even the other contestants were puzzled by this sudden change.
"Hahahaha!" Lu Bai laughed happily.
"In that case, I will grant you further glory!" After Lu Bai finished speaking, Liu Lei's visor seemed to be burned and gold-plated patterns appeared on it.
It was a black snake, the same black snake as the demons .
And it wasn't just Liu Lei's body. The spare bodies that were connected through data, the machines that still stored his organs, and even the computers that were still studying Lu Bai's data, all showed the black snake mark at this moment.
Lu Bai had been entangled with them for so long, did he really think that he was helpless against such tactics and had a good temper?
They were studying Lu Bai's data, but they didn't know that Lu Bai now had a personal symbolic mark.
Those marks symbolize Lu Bai, and some of Lu Bai’s data is stored in them.
Once these marks are placed on things, the data contained therein can erode these things at will, causing them to turn towards Lu Bai or be controlled by Lu Bai.
Especially after Lu Bai's six desires were complete, Lu Bai had further control over his desires, which allowed his desires to become the carrier of the mark.
Liu Lei is indeed constantly changing his bodies, but his consciousness has never changed. As long as the desire is aroused and the mark erodes his consciousness, the mark can be infiltrated into all aspects with the help of the consciousness transformation of Liu Lei and others.
Not to mention, in order to deal with Lu Bai, they kept collecting information about Lu Bai and building a model of Lu Bai.
These information models are naturally not threatening under normal circumstances, but once they come into contact with Lu Bai's mark, they will be quickly transformed and become the entrance and ladder for Lu Bai to invade these things.
This is not enough, Lu Bai thought, personal symbolic imprint needs to be further enhanced and further refined.
It is not that the imprint contains one's own information, but that one's own information contains the imprint.
One day, when others know Lu Bai’s name and recognize Lu Bai’s existence, they will be marked and the connection with Lu Bai will appear on them.
By that time, Lu Bai might be able to be crowned as a great being and be called a god.
Liu Lei's loyalty further enhanced Lu Bai's power. More importantly, nothing happened after Liu Lei pledged his loyalty.
In an instant, the threat to Lu Bai reached its peak.
In the past, those people would work desperately for these powerful people. One reason was that their long-term condescending workplace PUA constantly strengthened the slave mentality of these workers.
Even if these people are oppressed to the point where they can no longer survive, they do not have the courage to bite back at those who oppress them, but instead choose to commit suicide in a cowardly manner.
Secondly, they are extremely powerful, and these high-level workers are divided in various vertical ways.
For example, different schools of science and martial arts, different regions, and different genders, through vertical cutting, divide the class of tool people and then provoke conflicts among them.
If the classes are not unified, they will not be able to challenge the power of the powerful.
Even if one or two people occasionally break through their slave nature and choose to resist, they will be quickly crushed to death by them.
After all, many things they learned during their growth period came from the powerful, and they have too many means to fight back against these tools.
However, these countermeasures are now ineffective, at least against Liu Lei and others.
What those powerful people are afraid of is not the rebellion of one or two people. To them, these high-level thugs and tools are like products on an assembly line. As long as there is time, they will continue to be produced in an endless supply.
What they are afraid of is opening a loophole for rebellion but nothing happens. Once this loophole is opened, it will not be just one or two people who will be affected, but countless people.
Those who wrongly accuse you know how innocent you are better than you do.
Those who oppress you know how excessive they are better than you do.
In the past, these people were confined within a framework through heavy controls and layers of shackles, allowing them to be manipulated at will.
But now, the framework is being broken, and those people see new possibilities with the help of Lu Bai's behavior.
Since Lu Bai can help Liu Lei and others escape from control, can he also help them escape from control?
Even further, if you figure out Lu Bai's methods, you can get out of his control even if you don't need to be loyal to Lu Bai anymore.
The word "freedom" was originally a positive word, but it has been used by some people with ulterior motives to the point of becoming a negative word. At this moment, it has begun to truly exert its influence.
"Kill him, kill him at all costs!"
"Let Zhan Wushuang go, and use those hidden means to kill him."
"This demon is disrupting the order of this world and making it chaotic."
"No need to follow the rules, just kill him!"
They were roaring madly because they felt fear.
