Cheng Cheng and the Cicada

Chapter 13 Savior Company

Chapter 13 The Savior Company Broke!

In the blink of an eye.

Lin Xian dismissed that guess.

Because the Savior Company in Chapter 13 broke!

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes, sensing that things were slightly off! This! Could it be that this revered Godfather is Copernicus?

Could it be that time-traveling assassins are going to be sent back again and again to 2024, and Lin Nian will be killed again and again?

This guy is too sinister, truly a persistent ghost… However!

In the blink of an eye! Lin Xian dismissed that guess! Because! Many things didn't make logical sense! Copernicus was such a capable person; unless he died in a historical struggle, he wouldn't likely end up mixed up with a rebellious thief like Xu Yiyi to such a troublesome degree! And he and Xu Yiyi were walking in a stinky sewer! Could it be that Copernicus also had to take this underground passage every time he entered the city?

That would be too pathetic!

Recalling the fourth dream, where Copernicus single-handedly dominated the Time Police and the Time Court, he couldn't possibly be doing so miserably in this dream... Directly falling from the "Lord of Time" to the "Lord of the Sewers"!

"Do you know who that Godfather wants to kill?"

Qian Shao Lin Xian asked directly, "Since you said he wants to travel back to the past to kill the so-called culprit, who exactly is this culprit?"

"I don't know!"

Xu Yiyi shook her head. "Since the Godfather said that, he must have a target, but the specific plan is not something someone like me can know! That's why this has always been my goal. I want to join the gang, join the Godfather's plan, and dedicate my own strength to this world." Hearing Xu Yiyi's firm and ambitious words!

Lin Xian felt a little comforted by the guilt he felt earlier!

It seemed that Xu Yiyi wasn't as bad as he had thought, not a thief, robber, thug, or rogue! But!

Her actions just now and her righteous speech now did make Lin Xian feel very conflicted. "What else do I want to ask?" "What's the situation with Donghai City, the city you mentioned above?"

"I see everyone walking around nervously, afraid to run, afraid to litter, and even afraid to speak loudly, lest they get points deducted!"

"It's annoying!" "Including you, who just had 40 points deducted and went straight to negative points. What's the full score?"

"What happens when the score is completely deducted?" Xu Yiyi led Lin Xian into another passage!

Turning her head, she said, "There's no full score, only an initial score. Everyone starts with 100 points! Donghai City, and all major cities around the world, have a detailed set of deduction regulations!"

"It's just that compared to adding points, deducting points is too easy! Like you saw, spitting, yelling loudly, swearing, and even destroying public property or stepping on the lawn will result in points being deducted by those mechanical androids!" "You've noticed, right? People usually don't dare to speak casually on the street. Sometimes, even if they accidentally say a curse word or can't help but laugh out loud, points will be deducted!" "So, to be safe, everyone doesn't talk! Not only do they not talk, but they also abide by the rules in everything they do. They never litter, vehicles must be parked neatly, and they certainly don't violate traffic rules and related laws. To that extent, dozens or even hundreds of points will be deducted at once." Lin Xian listened to Xu Yiyi's UGC, which seemed like an idealized society with idealized management! From the perspective of the system's purpose and effect, it couldn't be said that this concept and system were wrong. After all, it was indeed effective, and it did indeed punish uncivilized behavior. Even the point deductions were reasonable and based on evidence, not random deductions! It just felt very oppressive, and the whole society lived under strict and rigid rules!

There was no vitality, and it was deathly silent!

"It's a bit of an overcorrection!"

Lin Xian said, "It seems that this era has already merged law and morality into one! Since ancient times, the law has been the lowest moral baseline. Society's constraints on humanity only require humans not to violate the law. For things that violate morality, at most, there is condemnation and criticism, but absolutely no punishment!"

"The regulations in Donghai City are indeed a bit excessive! Like you said, children under the age of 6 don't have points deducted. Then I dare say that for a 7-year-old child, as long as they are a little naughty, those 100 points won't be enough for them to mess around with for a week!"

Recalling the seven or eight-year-old mischievous kids from his relatives' families who were loud, rowdy, and ran around wildly, filled with abstract language, he estimated that it wouldn't even take 10 minutes to deduct all the points. A few "fuck"s would be all it took! He then asked, "What happens after those personal points are deducted?"

Lin Xian was very curious: "Seeing how tense and afraid everyone in the city is about point deductions, does something serious happen after they are deducted?"

"This also depends on the situation!" Lin Xian Xu Yiyi continued forward, but simply put, the first time 100 points are deducted, there will be a long period of criticism, education, and learning, and then various social activities will be carried out to re-accumulate the points to 100 before returning to society and living freely! "This is the same for both adults and children. Generally, children over the age of 6 will quickly have their points deducted! Even with minor exemptions, all children will inevitably have to undergo education and transformation!" "If the points are restored and the personal score is deducted a second time, things will be much more serious!"

Punishments and treatments will be carried out according to the severity of the circumstances, and even sentences will be imposed! In the end, points will also be obtained through labor reform before returning to society... This is a very slow process, because criminals with a prior record also have their points halved!

"That's why everyone is so afraid of having points deducted. Once the points are deducted for the second time, it is very difficult to restore them to 100. Many people have spent years doing this and still haven't regained their freedom!"

"And if the points are deducted for the third time…" Saying this, Xu Yiyi gave a self-deprecating smile and stretched. "Then it's like me. For minor offenses, I'm directly expelled from the city and have my resident status revoked. For serious offenses, I'll be directly dealt with…"

She made a gun shape with her right hand and pointed it at her temple. "Bang! Goodbye to this world!" Lin Xian quickened his pace!

Following closely behind Xu Yiyi, "Since the consequences are so serious, why do you still commit crimes? Although living under this system is indeed very oppressive and frustrating, it's better than going to jail, being expelled from the city, or being shot, right?" "It's useless! Qian Shao" Xu Yiyi snorted softly: "According to the old people, the personal point system wasn't as strict as it is now. Only very serious behaviors would be deducted points. Bad habits and陋习 in daily life were ignored!"

"But later, the rules gradually became more and more detailed, and it became like this! From the moment I woke up from the hibernation pod, I was required to study the point deduction items for a long time. It really defined every aspect of life! You can't say swear words, and it even specifies many words and phrases. Even if you accidentally say them, you'll be judged to be uncivilized and have points deducted! Anyway, you can't stop this kind of point deduction. It's only a matter of time before the points are deducted!"

"So, under this premise, everyone must become slaves to the points and try their best to add points. This way..."
