"Of course, we all have our own thoughts, our minds are not under any control, but we must be orderly, we must be in sync."
"You only need to follow the operation manual to be happy, why would you violate it?"
"Look at our city, everything is so neat and orderly, everything is filled with the beauty of order, even the dust on each floor is evenly distributed!"
"Everyone's movements are uniform, everyone is the same! Why do you need to be special?"
"Your sickness is too severe, but precisely because of this, you have a chance to rise up. Honestly, I'm very envious of you."
Wen Xishu stood up.
At this moment, his movements also did not conform to the "Behavioral Norm Manual·Patient Ordinance," so Wen Xishu's butterfly effect variable had already broken through three percent.
The doctor was terrified.
Wen Xishu said:
"It seems you are already addicted to that intense pleasure, that reward mechanism. Unfortunately, doctor, I don't think I'm sick."
These words Wen Xishu spoke were not coherent. After he said it, Wen Xishu's butterfly effect variable had already reached 0.037.
Heading towards four percent.
At this moment, the Behavioral Norm Manual·Doctor's Version issued instructions to the psychiatrist.
[Detected potential criminal presence, please immediately execute paralysis methods! This action includes more pleasure value rewards and is evaluated as a social contribution method.]
The doctor without hesitation took out a pistol capable of shooting tranquilizers from under the desk.
Then he pulled the trigger.
In his eyes, as long as he pulled the trigger, the opponent would be hit immediately and then fall into a slumber.
But from Wen Xishu's perspective, everything was very slow.
Wen Xishu didn't even dodge, just perfectly activated an invulnerable frame, precisely blocking this shot.
[Your behavior does not conform to the patient operation manual, current butterfly effect variable 0.049.]
About to break through five percent.
The doctor immediately raised his hands:
"Sorry, don't kill me...don't kill me! I'm just trying to earn a living! My job is already very hard!"
"If... if I lose this job, I'll have to take on more dangerous and demeaning work in the novels and film industry!"
Wen Xishu almost burst out laughing. More dangerous and demeaning novels and film industry?
He froze for a moment, then started to comprehend the logic behind it. The more creative and unrestricted the industry... the more demeaning and dangerous?
Wen Xishu certainly wouldn't kill the doctor.
He simply asked a question, but this question immediately scared the doctor into fainting.
"Tell me, how can I get rid of these prompts, you should be able to see them, how do I remove this so-called operation manual?"
Wen Xishu's behavior now was considered very crazy.
He himself felt this craziness, a huge, abrupt emotion trying to stop this craziness.
But on the other hand, although Wen Xishu couldn't think deeply, he instinctively sensed that everyone in this city was connected to something.
Something that makes everyone feel "I shouldn't do this" and "huge pleasure."
At the same time, it constantly suggests the effect of each person's actions on society.
This variable is controlled to an absurd degree.
Wen Xishu felt he was about to find the answer.
The concept of not producing variables...
But after he asked this question, the doctor had already fainted.
[Your behavior does not conform to the patient operation manual, current butterfly effect variable 0.072.]
It directly soared to seven percent.
[Apprehending personnel have been dispatched, if you choose to surrender now, you can enjoy the prefrontal lobotomy policy for free.]
Wen Xishu again sensed dissonance.
Those novelists and directors despised by the doctor... If the underlying logic is to strive for a better life, why don't these people choose a lobotomy and work in a factory to become elites?
Wasn't it very easy for him to get this kind of opportunity?
But after a brief thought, Wen Xishu figured out the logic inside.
"They are not as rebellious as I am."
"They have been disciplined to be sufficiently compliant."
"So, in this world, for those who are sufficiently compliant, there's no need for them to be puppets, because an appropriate ability to think allows them to better execute the world's rules. However, for those who are not compliant with the world's rules, it is all recommended they undergo a lobotomy."
"At the same time, also promoting the tools without the ability to think after a lobotomy. Praising these people as elites..."
"Damn, how perverted is Sirius's world?"
Wen Xishu seemed to understand.
After losing many concepts, Sirius was definitely very much like a "puppet", but he was not a true puppet yet, only after losing this most important concept—
Only then would Sirius truly be tamed by the captain.
Outside, sirens were ringing. Less than a kilometer away from Wen Xishu, several police cars started rushing towards him.
Wen Xishu had a premonition—the Law Enforcer was coming to catch him.
At this moment, Wen Xishu suddenly received a message. A call from Horn.
"Horn?"
"It's me, Wen Xishu, how are you? You haven't been tamed by the operation manual, right?"
"Is that even a question."
"That's good, I think if it's you, you can definitely realize something's wrong just like me."
"Shall we meet up first?"
"No problem, but before meeting up, you need to remove something from your inner arm."
"So there is an implant, after all."
