Short Story｜Pi Zong

Section 1 Outsiders

Wen Sheng passed a certain chemical laboratory and deliberately accelerated his pace, almost jogging. After she surpassed those tools that she couldn't even name the gas bucket, she gradually returned to her original speed, and while listening to brisk jazz music, she walked through the block leisurely.

Her brisk, casual pace is very different from the residents here.

Tian Tian looked at Wen Sheng's back and recognized the girl who was in front of him at the post office last week. Before she sent the letter, she realized that she forgot to print out the receipt, and turned her head to signal that the boy should take care of things first. The boy thought to himself: How can someone come to do things and not know how to organize the documents first?

The girl walked into the coffee shop and looked up at the price list: "Coffee No. 1", "Coffee No. 2", "Coffee No. 3"... She has been drinking black coffee for more than ten years, and she doesn't care what grade it is. I don't want to delay the people in the queue, so every time I was thinking about whether to change the style, I changed my words: "Please give me a cup of Americano, medium, hot, thank you."

But what do 1, 2, and 3 each stand for?

The sentences she said were always short, the sentences she had conceived in her head beforehand - "Hello, I want a medium Americano", should she say "hot" or "medium" first? It's too long, I don't know how to express it completely, so I can only say: "American coffee", "Medium cup", "Hot", every time after ordering, the girl will feel ashamed for a while, thinking that it's not that she doesn't understand this. Language, neither lack of intelligence nor dyslexia, why can't you speak simple sentences well?

She was worried that people here would think she was stupid.

"Miss, use inside or take out?"

"Internal use, thank you"

Perhaps she shouldn't be called a "girl", Vincent is already thirty years old, but to the "relaxed" people, she looks much younger than her actual age.

And Tian Tian was a senior, he thought they were the same age.

Vincent packed a book of Baudelaire's poetry and a notebook in a canvas bag. Even if she didn't need it, she grabbed the old city's two hundred yuan and put it in her pocket, and went to the coffee shop to spend her morning time. Looking up, I saw the young male clerk, isn't that the boy I met at the post office last week? She nodded and smiled politely at him, and the boy nodded back.

Continue to bury your head in the book that has been turned over.

Here, literary works are basically banned, but for the first three months Vincent was allowed to live on his own terms. At this time, she didn't know "Easy Place" yet.

I have seen Vincent many times in a coffee shop every day. She always holds a soft and rotten white cloth bag (called a "canvas bag" in Vincent's world) and always orders a "medium cup of hot American coffee". She doesn't have to work so hard to pronounce sentences, she just needs to say "Number 2" here, everything is already in order here, not even "please" or "thank you"!

Watching her approach the counter from a distance, he could make coffee directly for her, but the colleague in charge of ordering would still ask Vincent what to order based on the rules.

He watched her sitting in a fixed corner, looking at her tattered book, and sometimes he suddenly picked up the notebook as if he was remembering something, and he was very curious about what she was writing every day, because she was the only one at the moment. outsider.

He queued behind her at the post office last week, and recognized her back every day, but according to the regulations, he could not greet her.

People go to the post office to run errands, so they can't talk to each other. Saying one more word may affect the operation of the whole society.

Tian Tian has been living here for a long time, and his appearance is almost the same as that of other coffee shop clerks. All coffee shop clerks are required to wear black shirts, black trousers and a grey apron. There are absolutely no exceptions and no exceptions. All industries have prescribed attire.

When you arrive at the clothing store, just stretch out your hand and let the clerk scan it, and the other party will take out the clothes that belong to you.

According to different occupations, everyone has to cut the same hairstyle. For a coffee shop clerk, it is a short three-point head, regardless of gender, age, and age. When outsiders come here, they will find that the residents even move the same way. One more or less movement, the machine will be broken and unable to work.

Every worker is a machine and the whole cafe is also a machine, this is the main concept when creating "Easy Place".

After scanning the wrist, the individual's name, age, occupation, height, weight, and address will appear to the right of the individual. After the clerk takes the clothes belonging to the customer, points will be automatically deducted from his account, and he can pick up new clothes once every three months. This is an efficient way to organize research, and people do not need to spend time communicating and shopping.

The same is true for ordering food at a restaurant, but restaurant employees will also see personal allergens and substances that cannot be eaten due to illness. Otherwise, there will be a fixed menu from Monday to Sunday, and the food will be distributed according to the height, weight and age of the residents.

Therefore, there are no overweight or underweight people to see here, only the natural height difference of each person due to inheritance.

In fact, in order to maintain social operation, ordering a cup of coffee can only stay for half an hour, and according to regulations, guests cannot order more coffee, but Wen Sheng is an outsider who has just moved here, and no one will tell her before she is officially naturalized. system.

Section 2 Freedom

A month ago, Wen Sheng was working on a case in the office. It was already ten o'clock in the evening, but he didn't know when he would get off work. This is the tenth day in a row, including weekends, when I enter the company from 9:00 in the morning, and I can only go home in the middle of the night. There is no overtime pay, so I can only take a taxi back to her small suite at her own expense.

In the past ten days, she has rejected three friends' invitations and two appointments, and has been delaying the appointment time, and her relationship is almost unsustainable.

The boss promised to give Wen Sheng a raise after this wave is over, which may be another empty promise. But she is over 30 years old. She has been in this company for six years, and finally became a junior supervisor. Now she can't easily give up this job, but her daily life is only work and sleep, no matter whether she goes or stays. Good choice.

Not only her, but a million people in "Free City" live like this.

They work overtime and earn just enough to cover their expenses, and those who are worse off even live in debt. They don't have paid vacations, and they have to pay all kinds of new taxes from the government every few months, so she probably can only Destined to work overtime. How many years will it take to live to be thirty years old?

Sometimes I think about my ancestors who came to this "happy land" in order to escape the evil socialism. There is no real freedom here. After all, everything has a price tag. Their freedom can only be imagined. Most people don't know what these two words mean.

Of course, residents of the "City of Liberty" are allowed to criticize the government and policies, and they can protest in the streets if they are dissatisfied with the policies. These are the rights granted to citizens by law, but no one has done so in recent years.

Everyone is only working overtime for the bill at the end of the month and has no spare time to hit the streets.

Vincent had heard stories of people fighting in the streets several generations ago, and he had also read them in history when he was a child. This is the bloody and tearful history of freedom and democracy in his city. But by the time of Vincent's generation, no one could understand what liberal democracy was.

The age of Vincent's birth has long been irrelevant to ideology. The struggle of the ancestors has gone through several generations and the government has changed several times. Those are only left in the history books. People in the city believe that contemporary rights are equal to freedom, but many rights don't make sense to me.

It was more than 1:30 when I got home that day, and the moment I entered the Wuping cubicle where she lived, I received a notification from my personal mobile device: "Congratulations, you have won the immigration lottery, please see the left screen for details."

A virtual screen pops up on her left, which is the immigration promotion of "Easy Place". Only a few people are eligible for immigration. "Easy Place" has an agency in charge of immigration, but the selection rules have never flowed out. All of them are passively selected, and they still don't understand how they can win the lottery.

The picture in the advertisement is the life of the residents, the streets are very clean, there is not a single car or pesky wild dogs on the road, there are several things moving like MRT cars on the viaduct above, and the rows of houses are long. the same.

Wen Sheng had never seen such a neat city. She had seen an old photo of a model residential house in the city where she lived a hundred years ago, which might be similar to the house in the picture. But she had never heard of a city without cars, and she happened to be often annoyed by poor drivers, which was what attracted her to a car-free city.

A narrator appeared on the screen: "Are you tired of endless overtime? Are you overwhelmed by bills at the end of each month? Can't pay insurance, mortgage and taxes? Is there a future in life? You can change yourself now If you choose to immigrate to a "relaxed place", you only need to work from 9 to 5 every day, with two days off on weekends, to confirm that you can easily own your own house without worrying about mortgage or rent. Every worker is guaranteed to enjoy various insurances. Residents can only enjoy Now, leave other troubles in your life to the organization!"

Finally, a few locals appeared wearing the same clothes, smiling happily. They all looked the same, but Vincent didn't notice it at the time.

Remember, in Vincent's time, no one was talking about "freedom", and the struggle between human rights and women's rights was too far away from her. They have long been accustomed to absolute capitalism, the troubles in life are related to money, the only thing everyone pursues is wealth, and they do not remember the final conclusion of those socialist countries in history.

Vincent wondered in his heart, is there really such a place? If it is possible to live like this, of course, to immigrate to the past!

The screen stopped automatically, and two buttons appeared for her to choose - "I want to emigrate" and "Leave - give up the opportunity". Although she was very moved, her intuition was not at ease. Most of the good things could be pranks, so she pressed the leave button.

A new subtitle appeared on the screen: "We know that you may not be able to give up your current life immediately. You have another chance to choose to live in a "relaxed place" for three months. If you press the "leave button" now, you will Lose the right to apply for immigration forever!”

Two more buttons "I want to apply for a 3-month trial" and "Leave-permanently not allowed to immigrate" appear.

So she decided to apply for three months first.

Section 3 Rules

The next morning when Wen Sheng decided to go to the "Easy Place" to try it out, he was unexpectedly forced by the boss to pay no salary.

She had read about how to fight for rights through unions, but unions are said to have ceased to function for fifty years, although the group still exists. Anyway, it has been decided to leave here, maybe this is the arrangement of fate.

For the next three days, the Immigration Bureau of "Easy Place" communicated with her through a virtual screen.

Tell her that she only needs to bring a change of clothes and personal entertainment equipment for a week. In fact, she will not use these things later, and other necessities of life will be prepared for her.

They set off on the fourth morning. The organizer controlled a small aircraft to the side door of the building where Wen Sheng lived, and arrived at the destination in about half an hour.

After getting off the aircraft, a young man dressed like a driver came to meet her, who led her to a transparent office to complete the simple visa and trial procedures.

Wen Sheng was also implanted with a chip, and the clerk said she would remove the chip if she decided to leave.

The young man said, "We give you a month of life points in the chip. You don't need to work for the first month. I hope you can adapt to the environment first."

Wen Sheng: "Then how do I find a job? What is the salary level here?"

Young man: "The organization will arrange a job that suits you"

Vincent found that he didn't seem to be very talkative, which was exactly what she expected.

She hates chatting aimlessly with people at work or in life, and as soon as she arrives at the "relaxed place", she finds that the streets are very clean, there is nothing but a few pedestrians, and the flowers and trees are perfectly trimmed.

It's a little strange that everyone wears gray clothes. Is gray trending here?

Wen Sheng used to live in a colorful city, which she felt very fresh for a while, and the "relaxed place" looked neat. Her original style of dressing was low-key, but it became particularly obvious when she came here, and she immediately felt out of place and shy.

This is the goal of the establishment of this place, to let people remove their individuality and pursue collective unity.

Another point, Wen Sheng saw that the frequency of everyone's walking was a bit unnatural, and it seemed that they all had a purpose. But isn't it time for get off work? She remembered that the ad said it was "nine to five", and she glanced at her watch, it was six o'clock in the evening.

The time zone here is the same as Vincent's city.

It was only later that she realized that these people were now going to the "standard restaurant" for dinner.

It was another new experience for her, as each block used to have a fixed amount of cafes, restaurants, clinics, schools and post offices.

Breakfast is in the cafe, dinner is in the restaurant, and lunch is distributed at work. People here do not have the habit of having afternoon tea or supper. You may find it unbelievable, but if all the habits in life have been regulated, naturally you will not think that you can eat at non-meal time. People in the "easy place" are relaxed because they don't need to think about organizational norms. Other things.

A red-dot notification appeared on Wen Sheng's wrist. The young man just said to press the palm of his left hand when he saw the notification, and then he would see instructions from the organization.

"Dinner time, please follow the route you see in front of you to the restaurant." She followed the green light route on the floor.

It takes about two minutes to walk to the restaurant.

This is a restaurant hidden in the atrium of a certain transparent building. The entrance has a design like a ticket booth in a movie theater. The person wearing all white pants, a hood and a mask asked her to stretch out her hand. The other party scanned and saw Wen Sheng's message. Just prepare a plate of food for her quickly.

Wen Sheng glanced at it and said, "This amount is a bit too much for me...Is this pork? I dare not eat pork."

The man in white responded indifferently: "You are 48kg and 160cm, right?"

"Yes, I just measured it, it should be accurate."

"Then this is your dinner!"

"But I dare not eat pork!"

"Pork? What's that? The food here is synthesized from the inorganic nutrients that the individual needs."

"OK, thanks!"

She couldn't understand what the other party was saying, but the meat was still delicious.

For the first week, everything here was interesting to Vincent.

A completely different life experience from the city she came from, she will be notified every day when the time is up, and she will know where she is going and what to do. In the original city, Vincent had absolute autonomy. He could have breakfast at two in the middle of the night or dinner at ten in the morning. There were many overweight and malnourished people. People were always discussing how to lose weight and how to exercise.

What's the point in the end?

Wen Sheng used to feel that there were too many people around her who didn't live according to the rules. She didn't understand why almost no one cared about the cleanliness of the streets, but living in the free world for too long, she couldn't tell what was wrong. Since childhood, social classes taught them that all their current living conditions have gone through the history of blood and tears, and they should be proud of everything they can enjoy. After all, their city is at the forefront of the times. Later, many places were marked by the "City of Freedom". pole.

Once men and men could not form a family, once all people had to receive compulsory education, once you could not litter on the road, someone might sue you... Once you couldn't have a party at night, and people would sue you at that time. You make noise!

Let me remind you again, her world is also individualistic, you can think of everything that has "rights" and is also highly capitalized, there is very little that the government can limit or help people, it's just that the government takes advantage of the people. Silently rolling out multiple taxes while busy chasing wealth.

The presence of the government is so low that people there haven't fought for fifty years.

Maybe it's a conspiracy? Their ancestors fought against the unexpected living conditions for decades, and their descendants enjoy absolute freedom from the moment they are born. On the condition that the government does not intervene in the private sphere, what they have abandoned is the promise of the past rulers to give them life security. How can they think about the status quo of their lives?

Wen Sheng was raised by two men, whom she called by their first names, where people have the right to go out naked on the streets, where all pets can run around with their owners, and the streets are dirty and smelly.

No one cares about the environment in the public spaces because they are all busy working to make money and the park has been empty for years. Although the government definitely has the funds to handle public goods according to the taxes paid by the citizens, but who would notice?

She is not currently working, and the organization allows her to stay in the coffee shop in the morning. She is thankful that she has packed a collection of poems so that she can pass the time. It's a bit ironic to say that she comes from a place that allows everyone to use their time freely, but she has been unable to read books for nearly ten years, and even forgot the entertainment value that reading had brought her before going out to society.

But she also found that everyone else seemed to finish their coffee quickly and leave, why wouldn't they want to sit in a coffee shop and take a break? I didn't see friends drinking coffee and chatting together. People here seem to be very withdrawn.

Section 4 Immigration Program

Precisely because it comes from a completely extreme world, everything in "Easy Place" is still good in Vincent's eyes.

Although there are some things that she doesn't understand, such as why she wears the same clothes, she can't choose the time she eats and the restaurant, and the salary is ration points instead of salary. But she has given serious thought to immigrating here.

Two weeks after being here, she was told she would be working in two weeks, so the organization started putting her in a position.

She thought the whole thing was weird in hindsight, so I'm growing unsure if she'd choose to stay. At that time, Wen Sheng only thought that this was probably an "exotic style". After all, every place has its own work culture. At first, she evaluated it from a fresh perspective.

Early that morning, the organization sent someone to the suite where she lived to find her. That person was wearing a standard suit, and no one in Vincent's world was dressed so rigidly, but she had seen some office workers in historical dramas wearing similar clothes.

The man in the suit has a glass in front of his face, which is his portable computer. Relevant information automatically appears according to the topics they are talking about, and you can also receive messages from the organization at any time.

The other party came to Wen Sheng's room, and two chairs suddenly appeared on the ground for them to sit down and talk about things. The room was an all-white space, and everything here had to be personalized.

When you want to go to sleep, press a button and the bed will automatically appear. The toilet and bathroom are in the four corners of this floor. Before using it, you must press the button with the toilet or shower head icon in the room, and then the screen will instruct her which way to use. One room to remove the waiting time.

After use, someone will come to clean it immediately. In such a highly technological world, cleaning is still done manually.

The people who organized that day came to help Wen Sheng arrange work. At first, they first got to know her work in the original city.

"Have you thought about what work you want to do next?"

"I was originally about advertising, do you have any recommended companies?"

"Advertising? Company? What does this mean?"

It took a while for the other party to understand and tell her that there was no need for advertisements in the "Easy Place", only the "publicity" for the outside world was the advertisement that Vincent saw in the previous city.

In fact, the organization led by their top leader has mastered all industries, all of which are monopolized markets and there is no company-like organization, but with Wen Sheng's 30 years of life experience, he can't understand what this means at the moment.

The man in the suit said proudly: "The organization has arranged the best products for everyone, and distributed them to everyone according to their personal needs. We emphasize fairness here. So your career is not feasible here! Think about it again. You can doing what?"

"I can draw and write, maybe I can work in a publishing house."

The other party paused for a while, and seemed to look for information from the glass and said, "The people here who can work in the publishing house are all selected by the organization. Only as 'senior senior citizens' can they enter."

"How can I become a 'senior senior citizen'?"

"Of course I don't know, that was decided from above."

"I really don't know what I can do..."

"In fact, work is not the whole of our lives, it is just to maintain the operation of this society. Anyway, you work seven hours a day, five days a week. You don't need to care about what you do, that's why this place is called a "relaxed place"!"

"Okay, then it's up to you to arrange the work for me directly."

After the man in the suit left, Wen Sheng suddenly remembered something strange, did he have no outline?

Having just been attracted by his portable computer, Wen Sheng has been trying to see if he can see what appears on the screen, so he neglected to look at the other person's face. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was not because the glass blocked his face that he could not see his outline, but he had no outline at all.

She began to try to remember what the first young man the aircraft had met after arriving here two weeks ago looked like?

Again, she comes from a highly individualistic world where everyone is dedicated to expressing individuality in their appearance, she only sees herself and pays little attention to other people's faces. Therefore, we can easily find people from other cities to live here. How can those selfish people pay attention to these details.

At that time, she saw people of different professions wearing their own uniforms, and was still caught in the novelty of the whole thing, and she didn't realize that these people's facial features were blurred.

Section 5 Face

How is it possible that everyone has no outlines?

Wen Sheng's curiosity was instantly aroused. In her grandparents' time, "plastic surgery" was popular. At that time, people liked to make their silhouettes the same as those who were born beautiful. Later, many people have the same face. and lost its individuality.

She always felt that this past was ridiculous, what kind of person would repair their own characteristics?

Is it possible that the people here also do "plastic surgery" and make their faces flat?

After observing for a few more days, I found that some people still saw differences in their faces - the more authoritative people looked, the more dull their features, the people who worked for the organization had no outline, and the clerks of the cafe or the cleaners in the residential area. The cleaning staff can still see individual differences.

Originally, she thought it was convenient to wear the same clothes. She has been trying her best to show her personality all her life. Here, you can reduce one chance to compete with others, and maybe everyone can live in peace. But it would be too much for her to lose the features of her face.

No one has discussed this topic with Wen Sheng. She is not sure if she thinks too much or if the people here don't realize that everyone has no outlines? Of course they have five senses, but the insipid ones just perform their functions, not their personal characteristics.

She thought to herself: Who can I discuss this with so that I won't offend the "organization"?

She decided to find a certain male clerk she had met in the cafe, a young boy who looked friendly and the only face Vincent recognized.

Looking at this girl every day has a very special temperament. Every day she sits in the corner of the cafe to read or write. After an hour or two, she will go to the counter to order another cup of coffee. Order coffee and she can sit for as long as she wants. Sometimes she would spend a long time peeking at the people next to her, drinking the cup of coffee she almost forgot after a long time, and then moving her eyes to the glass in the cafe, looking somewhere.

This person also loves wasting time too much, doesn't the world she came from stipulates the time to stay in the coffee shop?

After Chen Tiantian came home a few times, she still thought about the girl's deep voice when she ordered coffee. Her way of punctuating sentences seems to have a kind of magic, an absolute affirmation, as if this medium cup of hot American coffee is important, and "the place to relax" People speak in a unified tone and tone.

In fact, there is no such thing as Americano at all, but the person above said just give her size 2.

She is completely different from the people in "Easy Place". Although she has the same black hair and brown eyes, she should be of the same race, but she looks different from the others. Tian Tianyi couldn't tell clearly, maybe she was still wearing the clothes of her hometown, and Vincent seemed to evoke some part of his memory.

Tian Tian is also an immigrant, brought here by strangers after his parents died when he was ten years old.

He was used to everything here, but at first he was troubled by not being able to recognize his classmates or teachers. It was only later that he realized that there was no need to maintain interpersonal relationships here, and that it was okay not to recognize others. Vincent reminded him of some fragments of the old world.

For example, his name is Tiantian, and the people here do not have names; he also remembers discussing with his friends what he wants to do in the future when he was a child, but after coming here, everything is very easy, and someone will help you arrange a job after college; and, It used to be that not everyone wore the same clothes.

It turns out that it is possible for humans to choose their own jobs?

Wen Sheng glanced at Tian Tian at the counter and asked him in a low voice, "Can you speak at work?"

Tian Tian said, "It's not very convenient."

"But I'm curious about something and don't know who to ask"

After thinking about it every day, he said, "Otherwise, I will wait and clean next to your seat under the guise. Write down what you want to ask, and I will see if I can answer it."

"Okay, thank you."

I have never explicitly instructed residents not to discuss the "relaxed place" with outsiders, nor have I clearly stated that they can't talk at work, but no one here will gossip or show curiosity. Dare to put down the work at hand and chat with her directly.

Of course, Wen Sheng can also feel the strange atmosphere.

She knew exactly what she wanted to ask and was afraid of breaking some invisible "agreement". After thinking about it, she wrote and tore it off in her notebook:

Am I being over-hearted? I think everyone looks the same. But you don't look like everyone else...

Do you know why everyone looks the same?

When I went to her place to clean every day, the other guests had already left.

He received the note and looked at it, and said in a low voice, "I don't know what city you are from, but I was educated here since I was a child, and the organization taught us to be one. Our society is very fair, and everyone is Same."

"It still doesn't make sense, why do everyone look so alike? I don't mean to imply that everyone has no personality, but that all the people here have no outlines! Can you see that?" Wen Sheng was a little excited when she talked about it. It's hard to imagine that everyone can't see this.

"We don't care about how we look alike, the less we have personal characteristics, the more we represent a sense of honor..." After answering Tiantian, he felt something strange, and he continued, "Actually, I have seen the outside world, and when I first came here, it was because I knew No one else was bothered, but soon I realized that I didn't need to know anyone else at all. The organization would directly communicate with us and tell us what we should do now. Anyway, no matter what day we work with today, it is to do what we should be. do things like this in order to maintain the functioning of society as a whole.”

In fact, Tian Tian didn't understand why everyone gradually lost their outlines, he only knew that it was related to the sense of honor. But at the beginning his answer came to the point.

Precisely because the "Easy Place" pursues collectivism and requires each person to renounce the characteristics of their own body or individuality to achieve oneness.

Everyone talks about the organization with gratitude and pride.

Section 6 Class

As I said before, when the man in the suit was discussing work with Vincent, he said that the people who could work in the publishing house were senior citizens. When I founded "Easy Place", I divided citizens into nine classes. Now I am too lazy to introduce them all. I am still not proud of this initiative.

Here, everyone is educated from the age of six until he retires at the age of fifty, and the only goal pursued is to serve the organization.

The more abide by the norms, the higher the grade, but I am fair to let every citizen start at the same starting point, and be sent to the same age group according to different ages. Believe me, it is definitely the right decision to let everyone leave their parents when they are young. No matter what level your parents are classified into, it will not affect the organization's opinion of you. We believe that everyone belongs to the organization, and their birth does not matter at all, There is no hereditary poverty or wealth here.

The more senior citizens don't get higher points or benefits, it's all about honor.

I guess it must be incomprehensible from the values of the world you know. But I let this sense of honor show on the outside, as Vincent sees people who have lost their personal profile.

We emphasize fairness and justice here, and the city where Vincent came from pursues individualism and pursues liberal democracy.

And they are tired like dogs every day, where do they have time to think about this?

It's ridiculous to think about it. Fifty years ago, they looked down on us, always saying that they were the most democratic "country" in the region, and this place was portrayed as an uncivilized place. After a high degree of globalization, even the word "country" has now been abolished, and now they are all city-states.

Only "easy place" can be called "country", which is our pride. We also have our own government, fixed land, and unique legal system. As for other city-states, they just follow the laws of the largest capitalist country a hundred years ago.

But now residents from other places are trying to immigrate here in various ways.

I sent a virus program that tracks personal work and rest to everyone's mobile device in the world - they are still lagging behind without chip implants, I can always catch those poor people who leave early and come back late, up to 70% of them If they choose to immigrate directly, the remaining 99% are willing to come here for a trial stay, and nearly 100% of them are willing to stay after the trial stay for three months.

As for the few people who are unwilling to stay, unfortunately, disaster happened when the aircraft sent them back to their original place of residence. This may be a mistake made by the engineers who designed the aircraft in the first place. We are still studying the reasons.

Wen Sheng was also implanted with a chip on the first day he came here.

This chip is the one that I have spent 20 years researching by a team of top scientists. It automatically helps us to screen out those who truly pursue the unity of the organization. It is divided into nine levels of citizens. The outside will become more blurred because of the more loyal and belief in the collective interests. , people see people with blurred outlines and appreciate their dedication to the organization.

In addition to personal information, chips can also sense people's inherent loyalty to the organization, that is, are they really losing personal value? Although everyone believes on the surface that giving up personal interests is the right choice, human nature is inherently selfish, and a few people cannot truly obey from the inside, and we cannot see it from the outside.

Conversely, if the residents gradually lose their loyalty to the organization and begin to pursue individual selfish desires or question the collective interests, the chip will also sense it and return the outline to them little by little. These people will always wear the skin of personal color and live in shame all their lives.

When the people around them see their appearances changing again, they are bound to stay away from them, no longer respect them, and they will eventually be cast aside by the organization.

However, I don't like to intimidate the residents of "Easy Land" before it happens, and what the consequences will be can only be left to them to guess.

By the way, think about where else can you retire at fifty now? We are definitely the easiest country in the world to survive. You may be wondering what year it is in AD, but a unified calendar is used as a normative social system for other global cities, and it doesn't make any sense to us.

If you want to immigrate here, you can contact the organization at any time by pressing ten "#" symbols on your personal mobile device.
