Chapter 693 Immigration
"Neurotic?" Shang Jianyao was not disappointed, but his eyes lit up, "The correct statement should be mental illness."
Ding Ling waved her hand:
"I'm used to it.
"In short, their brains are not normal, so don't worry about them."
Shang Jianyao persistently asked:
"How abnormal is it?"
Ding Ling saw that Xue Shiyue and others were also a little interested in this question, and explained briefly:
"They have some problems with their brains, in my words, they have some kind of persecution paranoia, and they always feel that someone wants to harm them and control them."
"Why?" Shang Jianyao was very curious.
Ding Ling pointed to her left chest:
"I was scared by 'heartless disease'.
"They suspect that most of the members of the 'Material Coordination Committee' have fallen into collusion with certain forces lurking in the darkness and causing the destruction of the old world, quietly using brain control devices to influence everyone, so that everyone obeys unconsciously, and even their thinking is no longer free."
Brain control device ...... There is indeed a disease...... Long Yuehong had only seen something similar in the old world entertainment materials.
Ding Ling continued:
"And once someone finds something wrong and has the idea of resisting, their thinking ability will be erased, leaving only biological instincts, that is, becoming 'mindless'.
"Well, that's how they explain the cause of 'unintentional disease'."
Brain control device, thinking erasure, "heartless disease"...... Jiang Baimian has to admit that the members of the "Salvation Army" really have a wide range of ideas.
And their theory really sounds like that, and it cannot be completely denied.
Because the internal logic of this statement is self-consistent, but whether there is such a thing as a brain controller has to be said separately, and now no one has investigated the source of "heartless disease" and can give a strong refutation.
"That's right......" Shang Jianyao looked like he was about to be persuaded, "Then why do they put aluminum pots on their heads?"
Ding Ling said not too surely:
"Probably the brain control device controls the operation of the human brain by affecting brain waves, and only by putting the entire head under the protection of the aluminum pot can we maintain the freedom of thought and see the truth of the world clearly.
"Therefore, they will wear aluminum pots no matter when, even if they sleep at night."
Sure enough, there are mental problems...... Long Yuehong was sure again.
Shang Jianyao clapped his hands:
"What a great performance art!
"And ......."
He looked sideways at Gnava:
"This is the same essence as you wear electromagnetic shielding clothing."
"Indeed." Gnava was very honest.
Hearing this, Long Yuehong shuddered, and quickly asked:
"Then do they still have 'heartless disease'?"
"There must be." Ding Ling replied very simply.
Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief, annoyed that she had been fooled by Shang Jianyao without a trace again.
Bai Chen thought about this matter from another perspective:
"In the style of your 'Salvation Army', why are you allowing these people to walk the streets openly instead of sending them to a mental hospital?"
"They have been propagating that if they are targeted, it means that their suspicions are correct: most of the members of the 'Material Coordination Committee' have degenerated and want to use brain control to permanently and from generation to generation." Ding Ling sneered, "Anyway, they are just more unique in this regard, which does not affect their work, and some of them are hidden deeper, so they will not wear aluminum pots directly, but get aluminum pieces and sew them into the hat mezzanine, looking like normal people on the outside."
Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully:
"There is always a source of such thoughts, right? You didn't find out the person who first spread such a statement and put him in prison?"
"I don't know much about this." Ding Ling turned sideways, pointed to the ten-story gray high-rise building behind her and said, "It's getting late, I'll take you to get the pass first."
Long Yuehong looked at it and saw several vertical plaques with black characters on a white background hanging next to the door of the building:
"Wubei Management Committee"
"Immigration Department"
"Inland Revenue Department"
"Security Checkpoint"
……
Ding Ling led Jiang Baimian and others into the building, and explained casually:
"In fact, most of us do not need to pay taxes, and the corresponding part has been deducted when issuing bills and change.
"The Inland Revenue Department is set up for immigrants, cross-border traders and relic hunters like you, and belongs to the same system as the Immigration Department and the Security Inspection Office."
Jiang Baimian took a light breath and said:
"Then don't the materials we bring have to pay taxes?"
This is much stricter than the "original city".
Ding Ling laughed:
"That's why I asked you to take out a large part of the materials first and exchange them for bills."
It's good to have someone who is familiar with the door...... Long Yuehong listened with sincere emotion.
Jiang Baimian turned to ask about another thing.
She pointed to Gnava and said:
"Robots should be piped products, does it really not affect the issuance of passes?"
"It's not a big problem." Ding Ling replied quite confidently, "Just add a clause to the pass, you can't bring this robot into the settlement, lest it suddenly get out of control and cause a tragedy. As for northern Wu, there are many robots."
Her implication is that northern Wubei has enough strength to suppress the chaotic robots.
"That's good, that's good......" Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief.
Since robots are not related, there should be no other problems.
Shang Jianyao looked at Gnava sympathetically:
"You are so pitiful."
"Hey." Gnawa made a sound in cooperation.
During the exchange, Ding Ling asked his subordinates to leave on their own, just as they were on vacation, and she led Shang Jianyao and others into a hall on the side of the first floor.
There is a sign for "Immigration Department".
Ding Ling didn't say hello to several staff members at the scene, and went directly into an office deep in the aisle, smiling and saying to the old man inside:
"Grandpa Hong, there are a few relic hunters here who want to get a pass."
The old man looked sixty or seventy years old, with sparse white hair, sharp eyes, and a rigid temperament, wearing straight blue clothes that represented government officials rather than military officers.
He seemed to notice someone approaching, glanced at the door, and nodded to Ding Ling:
"Let them in."
Ding Ling immediately introduced to Xue Shiyue and others:
"This is Director Hong, Director Hong of the Immigration Department, who also serves as the director of the Taxation Department, and is an old comrade-in-arms of my deceased grandfather."
Shang Jianyao was suddenly excited, and stepped forward a few steps:
"Are you a veteran of the 'Salvation Army' who experienced the chaotic era and the early days of the new calendar?"
Hong Guangming looked Shang Jianyao up and down quite vigilantly:
"I was born in the early days of chaos and joined later, so I must have experienced a lot."
Shang Jianyao's waist straightened up, and he pressed his left chest with his right hand and said:
"For all mankind!"
Seeing Hong Guangming's suspicious face, Jiang Baimian hurriedly explained:
"He is an avid admirer of your 'Salvation Army' and especially likes what you did in the late chaotic years and the beginning of the new calendar."
Hong Guangming breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said:
"Since it was brought by Xiaoling, please briefly talk about your origin and purpose, and then I will check what materials you brought and whether there are weapons of mass destruction, and then you can issue a pass."
He chuckled:
"If it's someone else, you have to go to the security checkpoint first."
After he stood up, Jiang Baimian realized that his left arm and right leg were obviously abnormal, and it seemed that he had been transplanted with an unknown model of mechanical prosthesis.
This can be seen from the iron black color of his left palm and the way he gets up.
Sensing her gaze, Hong Guangming was not angry and said with a smile:
"Lost in a battle, just like your companion."
Long Yuehong's robotic arm is still quite obvious.
Shang Jianyao cast a respectful glance at him.
"Sorry to trouble you, Grandpa Hong." Ding Ling gave way to the door.
Hong Guangming then limped over slightly.
His problem was not the mechanical right leg, but the left leg that still belonged to humans.
It seems that due to its advanced age, it cannot keep up with the rhythm of the mechanical right leg, which is slightly incongruous.
Ding Ling did not try to help Hong Guangming, and signaled Shang Jianyao and others not to do the same, as if they were afraid of hurting the other party's self-esteem.
Combat wounds are medals, but old age is another matter.
After leaving the building of the Wubei Management Committee and coming to the jeep of the "Old Adjustment Team", Hong Guangming looked at Jiang Baimian and said:
"You can talk about your origin and purpose."
Jiang Baimian briefly repeated what he had said to Ding Ling before, and finally emphasized:
"We are really wanted by the 'First City'."
"The Hunter Guild also has their bounty......" Ding Ling helped prove it.
"Wanted by the 'First City' to plan a big conspiracy?" Hong Guangming smiled indifferently, "What kind of conspiracy?"
"That's an excuse they are looking for." Shang Jianyao was about to answer honestly, but Jiang Baimian took the lead, "In fact, we stole some information, and later killed some of them in the counter-pursuit."
Hong Guangming glanced at a few of them again and joked:
"You don't really carry weapons of mass destruction, do you?"
As he spoke, he motioned for Long Yuehong to open the trunk and let himself check.
"A little canned food...... Individual combat bazooka, hehe, this doesn't count, the power is limited......" Hong Guangming checked them one by one, pointed to the four innermost crates, and said, "What is this?"
"Three military exoskeleton devices, two bionic intelligent armor." Shang Jianyao replied honestly.
In Ding Ling's helplessness, Hong Guangming laughed:
"As expected of a wanted criminal who calculates his worth based on Wan Olei, open it and let me see."
Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao, and Gnawa each dragged out a box and opened it on the spot.
The scene suddenly fell into extreme silence.
Ding Ling looked at it stupidly, and suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for this team to be wanted.
They wouldn't really rob three military exoskeleton devices and two bionic intelligent armor from the "First City", right?
Hong Guangming is a person who has seen the world and experienced life and death, and quickly recovered, looking at Jiang Baimian and others:
"You guys are really not simple......
"These equipment are all piped products."
Ding Ling suddenly woke up, took a few steps forward, came to Hong Guangming's side, took out a stack of bills, and said in a low voice:
"Grandpa Hong, be considerate, they really just want to go to the ice field to explore the ruins."
This part of the bill is slightly equal to the profits she made from her previous transactions with the "old adjustment team".
Hong Guangming weighed the bills, nodded slightly, and said:
"You said so."
He immediately warned the "old tune team":
"Well, these items cannot be brought into the settlement, I will write it clearly on the pass."
Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously glanced at Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao's expression was blank, as if he had turned into a statue.
