Although his ambition is not big and he knows his limits most of the time, it does not mean that he does not have ambition.
Especially at this moment when Voldemort is obviously unable to make a comeback and Zuo Si has a certain grasp on the lifeblood of the Ministry of Magic, it is natural and inevitable that he will want to reach out to the Ministry of Magic to get the power he has always dreamed of.
After all, in any human society, the level of power is far higher than the level of wealth.
If you only have money but no rights to match it, you are like a fattened pig, at risk of being slaughtered at any time.
This rule is also applicable in the so-called legal society of modern times, not to mention wizards who still retain some of the nature of the survival of the fittest.
Even though the Malfoys are now one of the wealthiest families ranked high in the British wizarding world, their political influence is clearly not as great as those of the pure-blood and half-blood families who once served as Minister of Magic.
The reason why Lucius was able to unite some people around him was entirely because when Voldemort fell, he was the first to use the clumsy excuse of "being under the Imperius Curse" to successfully escape punishment, and actively helped other allies who also joined the Death Eaters for the benefit of the family.
Since these people had betrayed the Death Eaters who were loyal to Voldemort, they also killed many wizards and Muggles during the war.
Therefore, they were afraid of being suppressed by the members of the Order of the Phoenix headed by Dumbledore, and they were even more afraid that the Dark Lord would return one day to settle accounts with them. As a last resort, they could only huddle together and gather around the Malfoy family led by Lucius.
This also gave Lucius a certain amount of political capital, allowing him to enter the Hogwarts school board, bribe officials from the Ministry of Magic through financial offensives, and even influence the minister's decision-making.
It’s a pity that he obviously didn’t understand what Zuo Si really wanted.
Ever since he had acquired almost all the magical knowledge, as well as various magical animals and plants that interested him, Zuo Si no longer had much interest in the so-called magical world and wizards.
Just think of it as a resort where you can rest and relax.
Apart from occasionally purchasing materials in bulk for making magic items and brewing potions through his own network of connections, he has no other needs at all.
Since there is no demand, why bother to do anything? Just keep the current stable state.
As for controlling the British, European and global wizarding world, he really had no interest in it at all, and he didn't want to waste his precious time and energy on such a meaningless thing.
At least there won't be any big moves until Headmaster Dumbledore dies of natural causes.
Just the opposite!
Compared to the magical world, Zuo Si actually cares more about the world of ordinary people.
Whether it is the high-level talents who have received higher education and proved their abilities, or the countless souls of ordinary people who were sent to the afterlife and eventually returned to the original energy form, or the rapidly developing technological level, as well as the cheap fabrics, steel, food, condiments, large machinery and other products brought by highly industrialized, these are what are really needed to rebuild the floating city world.
However, these things are not difficult to obtain, especially for him who can find a "sucker" to withdraw cash anytime and anywhere. It is easier than eating and drinking. There is no need to set up a secret society spanning six continents and four oceans.
After giving Lucius, Gemma Farley and others a stern warning, Zuo Si immediately put the matter behind him.
Just when he returned to the principal's office again, the door that had been closed suddenly opened.
Dumbledore and Umbridge, the Minister of Magic, walked out side by side.
Behind the two of them followed Snape, Black, Lily, McGonagall, Harry and other parties involved.
Especially Snape and Black, they were staring at each other with extreme disgust, disdain and hatred. Even though they were several meters away, one could feel the electric sparks flashing in the air.
If there were no one else around, Zuo Si had no doubt that the two of them would immediately start fighting until one of them was completely torn to pieces.
Unfortunately, Harry and Lily, mother and son, separated them physically, making them dare not risk launching an attack at the cost of accidentally hurting the most important person in the world.
Of course, as the savior who has learned the truth and is caught between his stepfather and godfather, his reaction is also quite interesting. His face has a complex expression of joy mixed with a hint of embarrassment and entanglement.
The good news is that this biological father's former best friend did not betray him. Instead, he chose to avenge him at all costs after the murder, and even suffered an unjust imprisonment in Azkaban for more than ten years without any regrets.
In other words, from now on, he has a godfather who cares about and loves him.
This is undoubtedly a very happy thing for Harry, who has lacked family affection and care since childhood.
What's more, Black also promised that even if he spent all the money in the family treasury, he would find a way to get a piece of magic mercury to resurrect his biological father James.
But the difficulty and dilemma is that because his mother had been dead for so long, she had long forgotten the time she spent with her biological father. She was determined to marry Snape, and they even had a child.
In addition, there is an 80% chance that James, the biological father, will not remember his ex-wife after he is resurrected, so there is basically no chance of reconciliation.
Add to that the tense and irreconcilable relationship between godfather and stepfather, and it would be a headache for not only a minor like Harry, but also an adult.
What's more, he shot Blake seriously at the wedding.
Although the other party repeatedly stressed that he didn't need to worry about it, and even praised his brave and decisive character worthy of being the Lion of Gryffindor, he was still filled with guilt and apology in his heart.
Just when Harry Potter was thinking about how to deal with this complicated family relationship in the future, the reporters and the accustomed people who had been waiting at the door for a long time finally reacted and surrounded him excitedly.
Rita Skeeter, a top reporter, even pushed a colleague aside with her butt without hesitation, got closer before everyone else, and asked loudly, "Principal Dumbledore! Minister Umbridge! Is Sirius Black really as innocent as he claims?"
“Through Legilimency, we have been able to confirm that Black is indeed innocent.
He did not betray the Potters, but secretly replaced the secret keeper with Peter Pettigrew.
In other words, Peter was the traitor who secretly sided with Voldemort and betrayed his friends.
Moreover, the spell that blew up a street and killed countless Muggles was also a crazy act of Peter when he was cornered. "
Dumbledore spoke first and explained the whole cause and effect of the incident.
After all, he is a master of Legilimency and has authority in this area that no one else has.
"So... the Ministry of Magic made a huge mistake? Not only did they arrest the wrong person, throwing the last heir of the Black family, one of the Holy 28 pure-bloods, into Azkaban to die, but they also treated the murderer and criminal as a hero and awarded him the Order of Merlin, First Class?"
Rita Skeeter's eyes lit up like a fly seeing excrement.
Obviously, she, who is always good at using exaggeration and false information to fabricate eye-catching news, realized almost immediately that this was definitely a blockbuster news that could make the front page of the Daily Prophet and other media.
If we exaggerate a little more and fan the flames a little more, many bigwigs may be forced to resign and end their political careers in disgrace.
"Ahem! Ms. Skeeter, please watch your words.
It was not the Ministry of Magic that made this huge mistake, but the previous Minister of Magic, Fudge, and the stupid officials he appointed who made unforgivable mistakes.
Corruption, weakness, incompetence, although I don't want to speak ill of my former boss, the negative impact he has caused since he took office has been hurting the British wizarding community.
But please rest assured, this is no longer the dark age when Fudge was in power.
I swear that when I return, I will severely punish those responsible for this unjust, false and wrongful conviction and hold them accountable."
Umbridge made the promise in a righteous manner under the gaze of countless eyes.
Although she looks heartbroken now, she is actually very happy in her heart.
Because through this incident, not only can he put the blame firmly on Fudge's head, but he can also justify getting rid of those guys who may pose a threat to his position as Minister of Magic.
For example, the prestigious Barty Crouch, Rufus Scrimgeour, and the wizards who hold the highest judicial power in the Wizengamot management agency.
Then he would take the opportunity to promote some of his own confidants to important positions.
When it comes to fighting for power, Umbridge has an unusually keen sense of smell, and knows how to seize fleeting opportunities to consolidate her position.
When Headmaster Dumbledore heard this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
With his intelligence, it was impossible for him not to hear that Umbridge was deliberately making indirect accusations, saying that he was blind and had pushed Fudge into the position of Minister of Magic, which led to a series of serious mistakes later.
What's even more terrible is that Rita Skeeter also understood the unspoken subtext, and immediately used the feather pen that automatically made up stories to record frantically, portraying the greatest wizard of the time as old and dim-witted in order to weaken his terrifying appeal in the wizarding world.
Of course, when he reached Dumbledore's age, he no longer cared about how others evaluated him.
So he just glanced at the contents on the sheepskin and did not stop the other party from unscrupulously making up stories about him. Instead, he kept glancing at the girl standing next to his brother Aberforth out of the corner of his eye.
Ariana...
His own sister, a poor girl who was killed by her own ambition and desire.
Although to many outsiders, the famous Albus Dumbledore is wise, calm, and able to remain calm at all times.
Apart from the moral constraints on oneself, there are almost no shortcomings that can be exploited.
But in fact, Albus himself knew very well that he had a fatal weakness, which was his unspeakable longing and guilt for Ariana.
This emotion has accumulated over nearly a hundred years and has become a huge spiritual and psychological burden.
This is also why Dumbledore reacted so violently to the resurrection of his dead sister.
When a person feels strong guilt towards another person, he or she will subconsciously resist meeting the other person.
But his condition was obviously much more serious than this, almost becoming something like a demon in his heart that he could not get rid of no matter what.
While countless people were scrambling to ask loud questions and there was chaos at the door of the principal's office, Zuo Si quietly came to the ignored savior and asked in a slightly playful tone: "Harry, how do you feel now?"
"Uh... I don't know how to describe it. I used to fantasize about how nice it would be if I were not an orphan and had a perfect family and parents. But now, I suddenly find that the adult world seems to be much more complicated than I expected." Harry Potter sighed helplessly.
"Look at it lightly, don't be so sad.
Look at the bright side, you now have at least two fathers, one is your stepfather and the other is your godfather.
There is also a biological father who may be resurrected in the future, and a biological mother who is willing to sacrifice her life for you.
If your godfather and your resurrected biological father find true love and get married, there will also be a godmother and stepmother.
It is equivalent to a person having three fathers, three mothers, three families and a large number of brothers and sisters.
Isn't this the loved one you have always dreamed of?"
Zuo Si suppressed the urge to burst out laughing and patted the other person's shoulder to comfort him.
You know, this wonderful drama staged under his interference is much more exciting than those monotonous, boring and bloody love stories.
Look at the extremely complicated interpersonal relationships and plot. First, the bad boys led by James Potter in their school days made enemies with Snape, and then they stole the latter's childhood sweetheart Lily, and finally gave birth to a son.
In order to win back his beloved, Snape turned evil and joined Voldemort's Death Eaters, hoping to ensure Lily's safety.
But in the end, all my efforts were in vain. For a long time, I was trapped in deep self-blame and regret and couldn't extricate myself.
After getting the magic mercury to revive Lily, Snape went straight to the point of hiding her in a beautiful house, and at all costs made the matter a done deal, turning her from a bitter and vengeful victim of NTR into a glorious NTR.
To a certain extent, he and James Potter could be said to have given each other a green hat, which was barely a draw.
If you think that's the end of it, you are wrong.
In fact, the really interesting part doesn't begin until James Potter is resurrected.
By that time, Harry will have to deal with his biological father and godfather VS his biological mother and stepfather, as well as more than one half-sibling.
Faced with such a complex and contradictory family relationship, it was good enough if he was not driven crazy. He would not have the time to care about the so-called nemesis - Voldemort.
"Soth...that smile on your face seems a little evil right now." Harry Potter reminded in a low voice.
Zuo Si immediately shook his head to deny: "No, no, no, this must be your illusion.
In fact, I am happy that you are finding more and more of your loved ones.
After all, no matter what conflicts they had before, their love for you is real.
What's more, as long as you are alive, there are endless possibilities.
Maybe you can resolve their grievances through your own efforts?"
"Yeah! I can try!"
A light of hope suddenly flashed in Harry's eyes.
When Zuo Si noticed this, a barely perceptible hint of teasing immediately flashed across his face.
Resolve the feud between James, Black and Snape? Too naive!
And it's absolutely impossible!
Just considering Snape's vindictive, revengeful and tsundere personality, it is absolutely impossible for him to forget the bullying and humiliation he suffered in the past, as well as the unforgettable hatred of having his wife stolen from him.
By the same token, the self-righteous James and Black would never sincerely apologize to Snape for their behavior during their school days.
Therefore, all of Harry's attempts to make the two sides shake hands and make peace will ultimately end in failure or even have the opposite effect.
Moreover, he will become the object of contention and influence by both sides, just like a rat caught in a bellows, getting bullied from both ends.
It won't be long before the savior understands that family affection is often more beautiful the farther the distance is, but when you are in it, you will often feel irritated and upset.
Especially in a complicated case like his, I'm afraid that after he grows up in ten or twenty years, his whole body might fall apart.
With the Ministry of Magic officially acknowledging that Sirius Black was innocent and that Peter, who was once hailed as a hero, was the real murderer, the British wizarding community was in an uproar.
Fudge, who had originally retired and was preparing to wait for death at home, was once again criticized by overwhelming public opinion and even had to go abroad to avoid the limelight.
Instead of being crowned the greatest Minister of Magic, he was given a host of titles including worst, weakest, most incompetent and most corrupt.
Even the family and their descendants were affected. Unable to withstand the huge wave of condemnation, they resigned from the positions they had worked so hard to obtain.
Umbridge, under the pretext of "wiping out the remnants of Fudge" and "restoring a bright and sunny sky to the British wizarding world", launched a major purge of important positions in the Ministry of Magic, and inserted "her own people" such as Gemma Farley into the positions, under the euphemism of giving more opportunities to daring and adventurous young people.
After this series of combined punches, even those pure-blood families who originally looked down on Umbridge were convinced and believed that no one else could shake her position in a short period of time.
In addition, there is another interesting information, that is, Ron's pet mouse, Scabbers, is missing.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Zuo Si.
At this moment, he was sitting in a chair in the principal's office, flipping through a research notebook on ancient magic with interest. After more than ten minutes, he raised his head and asked, "Why did you suddenly give me this?"
"Because I want to retire. From now on, the wizarding world will officially enter the era led by you." Dumbledore replied in a slightly tired tone.
It's not hard to tell from the puffy eye bags and dark circles that he has been suffering from severe insomnia since meeting Ariana.
But Zuo Si closed his notes and sneered, "I'm sorry, Professor. I'm not ready to take on such an important responsibility. Don't forget, I'm still a student at Hogwarts."
“Haha, if you want, I can give you a diploma now, and you can get full score certificates for all ordinary wizards and ultimate wizards without taking any exams.
In fact, apart from your age, your total amount of magic power, knowledge and skills have reached an astonishing level.
With you around, guys like Tom can't cause any trouble at all.
As he said this, Dumbledore's eyes were no longer as sharp and aggressive as before, but instead showed the weakness of an ordinary person.
"First of all, thank you for your recognition and trust.
But unfortunately, I am not the kind of person you are looking for, and I will not devote everything to protecting the current order of the wizarding world.
Just the opposite.
If someone like Grandvo jumped out now and called for the overthrow of the confidentiality law, I would not only not stop him, but would also strongly support him.
Because in my opinion, the wizarding world today is too comfortable and filled with blind arrogance.
随着麻瓜世界的科技水平日新月异，最终被彻底发现只是迟早的事情。
到那个时候，掌握主动权的就不再是巫师了。
事实上，眼下的魔法界正在以一种缓慢的速度步入死亡。
也许是几十年、也许是几百年……
当麻瓜的科技达到足以飞出地球开启星辰大海征途的时候，您觉得仍旧留在地面上的巫师跟丛林里那些原始落后的土著部落又有什么区别？ 过度的保守只会导致淘汰和灭亡，这是在人类历史上一次又一次被证明过的真理。
尽管很报纸和媒体都可在鼓吹我是下个时代的引领者，但我可以明确告诉您，我永远也不会成为第二个你。
另外，从您击败格林德沃那一刻起，魔法界就已经没有所谓的未来可言了。
是您亲手扼杀了巫师们主宰这个世界最后的机会。”
说罢，左思随手将笔记还给校长大人，并且非常明确的表达了自己的立场跟态度。
当魔法界的守护者？ 抱歉，这种光有责任和义务却没有相应权力，而且搞不好还要被道德绑架的事情，他但凡脑子还没被门挤过就绝对不会接手。
什么“能力越大责任越大”这种屁话，还是拿去忽悠那些没有经历过社会毒打的热血少年吧。
邓布利多敏锐的察觉到了左思眼睛里透露出来的轻蔑与不屑，扶着额头露出苦笑：“你觉得我当初做出的决定是错误的？是巫师中的叛徒跟罪人？”
左思轻轻摇了摇头：“不，我可没这么说，我只是阐述了一个已经存在的事实。
起码站在麻瓜们的角度，您成功阻止了一个企图颠覆世界现有秩序的野心家和巫师至上的极端种族主义者，是不折不扣的救世主跟英雄。
至于魔法界未来会发生什么，谁又能说得清楚呢。”
“那你呢？如果有一天麻瓜和巫师之间真的爆发了战争，你会做和选择？”邓布利多表情严肃的询问道。
“我什么都不会做，只会冷眼旁观看着他们分出胜负，最多在巫师一方战败的时候庇护一些我认识和关心的人，仅此而已。哦，对了，我最近有些忙，可能没办法赶回来参加期末考试了，提前先跟您请个假。”
说完这番话，左思也不理会校长大人的反应，直接起身走出了办公室的大门。
看着他渐渐远去的背影，邓布利多不由得再次发出了一声叹息，转过身望着窗外有些阴郁的天空，内心之中充满了焦虑跟担忧。
只不过这一次担忧的不再是伏地魔，而是巫师和魔法界的未来。
如果换成是以前，他根本不会像现在这样，对那场几十年前爆发席卷整个欧洲魔法界的浪潮，还有自己做出的选择产生怀疑。
可自从开始关注麻瓜世界科技发展之后，这位百岁老人突然意识到即便是有麻瓜驱逐咒这样的魔法，未来巫师们被麻瓜发现的概率还是会不可避免变得越来越高。
尤其是正在街头巷尾不断增多的监控摄像头，随时都有可能抓拍到巫师们使用各种魔法的画面。
也许现在魔法部还勉强可以靠派出人手用遗忘咒把这些事情删除掉。
可要是摄像头变得越来越小、越来越隐蔽，数量再增加几十倍乃至几百倍呢？
到那个时候，光靠十几个乃至几十个巫师，真的能在短时间内处理的完那么多的突发情况？ 还有那种最近几年迅猛发展的一种叫做“互联网”的快速信息传递技术，对巫师们而言也同样是一个巨大的潜在威胁。
相比起麻瓜世界在第二次世界大战结束后奇迹般的发展速度，魔法界那点微不足道的进步跟变化简直就像是一潭死水。
“福克斯，你说我是不是真的错了？”邓布利多向自己的宠物凤凰发出了询问。
但遗憾的是凤凰虽然足够聪明，也能理解主人想要表达的意思，可面对这种过于复杂的问题还是只能摆出一副无辜的样子眨了眨眼睛，根本不知道该怎么回答。
……
与此同时，离开校长办公室的左思去跟赫敏道了个别之后，便拿着一张清单开始了大采购。
跟以前一样，他先是随机挑选了几位“幸运儿”，然后直接一发夺魂咒完成控制，命令对方开始通过各种渠道采购清单上的内容。
才短短几天功夫，数不清的钢铁、精密机械零件、实验室专用的先进仪器和其他一些乱乱七八糟的东西，就全部被塞进无痕伸展咒的箱子里。
等做完这一切，左思才带上凤凰之神贝努在这段时间里搜集的灵魂直接返回浮空城，并在复刻深水城的虚拟空间跟这些人见了一面。
由于之前已经有了三十位来自各个领域的专家，有些彼此之间还认识或者听说过对方的名字，因此他们原本紧张的情绪很快就被安抚下来，通过灵能传输通道将意识注入进事先准备好的克隆体内。
紧跟着就是喜闻乐见的抢人环节。
由于浮空城内目前已经成立了好几个相对独立的部门，并且每个部门都拥有一大堆迫切需要研究的课题，所以人手可以说是非常的紧缺。
别说是这些在业界已经有一定名气的天才，就是普通的研究员他们都迫切的想要多来点。
事实上，因为人手极度紧缺，很多工作都已经交给拥有一定智力的构装体乃至尸嵌生物来完成。
当然，这些家伙跟那些量产型的不同，都是根据需要进行过特殊改造、强化，往往有两三个脑袋和七八只手，一个人就能顶好几个普通研究员。
唯一遗憾的是，它们只能从事不怎么需要脑子的重复工作，根本没有自主判断的能力。
包括武器设计与研发小组，统筹规划与社会科学小组，魔法化学实验室，能量与物理实验室，生物与死灵技术实验室，灵能信号强化实验室，材料学实验室等各部门的负责人，甚至为了抢到更多的人手不惜放下手头研究亲自上阵。
一时之间，浮空城中央高塔的一楼大厅俨然变成了招聘现场。
不管是什么部门都在拼命强调自己的重要性，展示那些正在研究中的项目，以及未来可以达到的高度。
没过多久，新来的这批高级人才就纷纷做出了选择，以极高的热情投入到以前从未接触过的魔法领域。
对于死过一次的他们来说，可以重获新生并且继续从事自己感兴趣的研究，学习掌握神秘莫测的魔法力量，简直就是走了天大的狗屎运，生怕做不出成绩来被淘汰掉。
相比之下，另外一些对于真相一无所知的玩家们就没有这么幸运了。
这些灵魂先是被投入到事先准备好的容器中分隔开，然后再由主脑伊莎多拉成批量的吸入到另外一个虚幻世界“无限城”，对其记忆进行轻微的修改。
很快，第一批新入住的灵魂就从名为“蚁穴”的巨大休眠仓内苏醒过来。
“这……这是哪？我又是谁？”
一名三十岁上下的亚洲面孔缓缓从充满科幻感的银色巨蛋中爬出来，一脸茫然的看着周围。
与他一起苏醒的还有差不多三四百个，身上统一穿着白色的紧身服，慢慢朝门口唯一的通道汇聚。
尽管这些人当中既有欧美白人，也有东亚的黄种人，还有来自南美的拉丁裔，可他们却可以进行无障碍的交流，并且十分流利的说着根本不是地球上任何一种语言。
当所有人都聚集过来之后，原本紧闭的大门这才缓缓打开，从外面走进来一名留着短发的年轻少女。
不用问也知道，她就是主脑伊莎多拉创造出来的虚拟形象。
先是感受了一下这些灵魂的精神状态，确认没有疯掉或是傻了的，伊莎多拉这才面带微笑的开口说道：“我想你们一定很疑惑，这里是什么地方，自己又是谁，对吧？”
“没错！小姐！请务必给我们一个明确的解释。”一名两米多高的白人壮汉从人群中挤了出来。
“没问题，这也正是我接下来要说的。首先请冷静下来，好好搜索一下自己的记忆，然后告诉我你们是否想起了什么？”
伊莎多拉指着自己的太阳穴，用话术引导着这些刚刚接受过改造灵魂的思维。
大概两三分钟之后，第一个苏醒的亚洲人率先惊呼道：“啊！我想起来了！我……我是出了车祸，被一辆打卡列车从身上碾过去然后便失去了意识。”
“该死！我也想起来了！我是在战场上被一个子弹打中了心脏。”白人壮汉脸色瞬间变得惨白。
“我是癌症晚期！”
“我是心脏病发作！”
"I...I have acute leukemia!"
…
As one person after another recalled the last scene before death, they finally found their common ground.
When Isadora saw this, she immediately clapped her hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then she said to herself, "I believe you all know that you have already died once, without my explanation. But you are lucky. Your family signed an experimental agreement at the last minute, allowing scientific research institutions to freeze the body and use it for related medical research."
"Wait! If our bodies are donated for medical research, shouldn't they be dissected like those bodies soaked in formalin solution in the medical school?" a young man wearing glasses interrupted.
"No, you misunderstood. The agreement you signed is not an ordinary medical research, but a study of consciousness and soul after death. Three centuries have passed since 1992, and our company has finally mastered the cutting-edge technology that can revive corpses. And you are the first group of people to be awakened."
As she said this, Isadora carefully observed everyone's reactions.
Just as she expected, these guys were all stunned with expressions of disbelief when they heard that three hundred years had passed.
"Three...three hundred years? We have been frozen for three hundred years!"
A Latin girl of about sixteen or seventeen opened her mouth wide, her whole body trembling slightly from excessive emotion.
Isadora nodded slightly: "Yes. According to the agreement, you are the first batch to be frozen, so you are also the first batch to be awakened."
"But...but why can't I remember my name? Not only my name, but some other information has also become very vague?" The burly white man frowned and asked.
"Because of the immaturity of early technology, the freezing equipment was far less safe and reliable than it is now, and your brain may have suffered some unknown minor damage.
However, this situation should not be very serious, and perhaps it will recover on its own after a period of time.
What's more, three hundred years have passed now, and all your former family and friends are no longer here.
Since we have forgotten our past names, why not give ourselves a new name to embrace our future lives? "
Isadora was clearly well prepared and gave a convincing reason straight out of the box.
In fact, these people's selective amnesia was entirely the result of her deliberate erasure.
The purpose is very simple, which is to downplay the contradictions and conflicts that may be caused by factors such as race, nationality, religion, etc., so that these souls can quickly forget the past and become the "fourth disaster" that Zuo Si needs.
There is no doubt that the possibility of long-term freezing causing damage to brain cells is too high, so the white strong man immediately chose to accept it, and sighed with a wry smile: "Well, as a person who has died once, I am very lucky to be reborn again. I really shouldn't expect too much. Miss, if you don't mind, can you let us see what the world of the future looks like?"
"Okay. Please line up and follow me. Remember, don't touch anything you don't understand. Otherwise, our company will not be responsible for any accidents or casualties. If any important equipment or instruments are damaged, you must pay compensation."
After saying that, Isadora turned around and walked straight out the door.
Hundreds of people hurriedly followed closely behind, with either curious or nervous looks, ready to see with their own eyes what the world would be like three hundred years from now.
As a result, as soon as they walked out of the "ant nest", they were stunned by what they saw.
At the top of a building several thousand meters high, countless rectangular vehicles were seen flying at an extremely fast speed along the gaps between buildings, so fast that they even left afterimages in the air.
But even so, not a single traffic accident occurred.
They didn't even know whether this thing should be called a "car" or an "aircraft."
In addition, the exaggerated, sci-fi and dazzling buildings also make these "antiques" from the past constantly exclaim.
In particular, the lifelike beasts projected by the 3D projection billboards looked exactly like the real thing, which scared many people.
The bionic robots and robot pets that are everywhere in the streets and alleys are severely impacting the cognitive limits of everyone present.
"Oh my God! This... is this the world three hundred years later? Which country is this? Which city?" The first Asian who woke up asked, covering his mouth and suppressing his emotions.
"Now there is no longer any concept of countries and cities. There is only one legitimate regime on earth - the United Government. There is also only one super city, which is the Infinite City under our feet. Finally, please allow me to say to you on behalf of the people of this era: Welcome to the future!"
As these words came out of their mouths, these souls that had been completely fooled by the illusory world could no longer control their excitement, and they started crying and laughing like crazy.
But soon, a more rational old man raised a question that worried everyone.
"Since the world has changed so dramatically over the past three hundred years, what about our identities? Most importantly, can we old antiques really adapt to a society with such advanced technology and find jobs to support ourselves?"
moment!
The scene was very lively one second and became so quiet the next second that you could hear a pin drop.
After all, how to find a job to make money and support yourself is a huge challenge that must be faced.
"Please don't worry about this. Our company has already helped you to apply for a new resident status, and we are also willing to provide you with a job."
After going around in circles for a long time, Isadora finally revealed her true purpose.
Obviously, she took the trouble to create such a huge and magnificent infinite city not to allow these souls to live and reside in peace, but to lead them into the floating city in the real world and transfer their consciousness into the clones to serve Zuo Si's plan.
"What kind of job? How much can you earn? Is it enough to support your family?" the old man asked immediately.
Isadora smiled and replied, "Of course. In fact, the job is to earn money by playing games in the virtual world and then exchange the virtual currency for real-world currency.
With the development of science and technology, virtual reality technology has been realized decades ago.
It is called the second home outside the real world, and both adults and children will immerse themselves in it and enjoy the fun.
As long as there is demand, there will naturally be a market.
The currency in virtual games can even be equated to real-world money to some extent.
As early as thirty years ago, the coalition government enacted the Virtual Property Protection Act, recognizing that virtual property is as important as real-world property.
Now, I will take you to take a shower, eat something, and then experience this virtual reality game. What do you think?"
"It seems like we don't have any other choice, right?"
The sturdy white man shrugged indifferently.
In fact, he had no idea that he had inadvertently revealed the essence of the virtual world "Infinite City".
Although Isadora seems to have given everyone a choice, in fact, if the soul that enters here is unwilling to accept the job she offers and instead goes out to venture out, then they will soon find that they will continue to encounter all kinds of bad things. Not only will they not be able to make any money, but they will also be hunted by gangs and even the police.
In the end, he had no choice but to come back and do the promising job of the Fourth Disaster...
