Star Railway: Building a Foundation from the Beginning

Once again, O5-7's words became a thunderbolt in the audience's ears.

It was extremely sudden, and with the physicist's magnetic voice, the Foundation, shrouded in the aura of divinity, suddenly turned into some kind of terrifying horror.

When all the hypocrisy that covers the truth is completely uncovered by O5-7, revealing the bloody truth beneath it.

O5-6 covered his head in pain, and his voice was like a mosquito:

"I don't believe it. The Foundation is by no means such an organization. "

O5-1 ignored the painful Six, grimaced and continued to confront O5-7:

"I've said it many, many times. "

"What we've been doing to maintain normalcy is to hope that humanity doesn't go in the wrong direction. "

"It's not that human beings don't develop, and it's not that what you said about normalcy wants us to stop human development. "

"Normalcy is part of human development, a prerequisite for human development. "

"Without normalcy, the world will undoubtedly collapse - without even the premise of development, what is development?"

However, this statement was rejected by Professor Fermi with a simple question.

"Who defines the wrong direction?"

O5-7 looked at One suspiciously, and spread his hands.

"Do we have the right to define? We don't. "

"We named what we thought was the wrong direction as an anomaly. "

"However, anything that is outside of our current norm can be called an anomaly, and it can be what you say is wrong. "

More importantly, it's not what the norm wants to see. "

"As for the crisis — is there any time when humanity has developed without a crisis?"

"How many times have we faced this in our history?"

"If human society refuses to move forward simply because it is afraid of a possible crisis, we will not even be able to enter the era as we know it. "

"Isn't the establishment of the Foundation itself a threat to the world?"

"In fact, not only is it threatening, it's often serious. "

"Crisis is not a justification for the Foundation's actions at all, it is just an excuse concocted by the normals to achieve their own purpose of immortality. "

"Whether it's going forward or not, the machine is there. "

"We may not even be able to find a way to defuse the crisis if we don't even go beyond normalcy – just like the world war that just passed. "

"Maybe without the Foundation, without anyone stubbornly upholding that surging, self-enclosed normalcy, the world would be a better place. "

"Seventh, the new normal is also the norm. O5-1 reminded.

"Didn't we make the trouble you just caused normal?"

"It's absolute uncertainty – and it's not certain, what the consequences of what you're going to do. "

"Is that really the case?" O5-7 scoffed.

"—So, is the norm the norm for the children of the night? Is the norm in pre-modern times?"

"What did we do? We took the Children of the Night in containment, destroyed their civilization, and called them Bigfoot. "

"We have shaped pre-modernity with so-called science, putting the normalcy of the past in a cage called the Scarlet King. "

"The Foundation is the immune system that belongs to the current normal. "

"The present normalcy is born by stepping on the corpse of the past normal, and it naturally does not allow the new normal to take its place. "

"The question of ascending to the gods has already said it all. "

"The current normalcy defended by the Foundation cannot support a new normal shaped by a god-like human, even if it is the choice of all humans. "

"If normalcy has no boundaries, then there is no abnormality in the world. "

"The normal with anomalies is just the new normal. "

"—then, what are we, the Overseer Council, our entire Foundation existence, doing?"

"Normal doesn't want to be replaced by a new normal. "

"There is only one true shift in SK-level dominance in this world, and that is the replacement of the old normal by the new normal. "

His indifferent tone of factual statement gave O5-2 an inexplicable sense of anger.

At that moment, O5-2 was willing to attend the meeting with a curly-haired baboon, better than a physicist who might tear the Foundation apart.

But he couldn't do anything about it, because he knew that the other party was definitely more prepared than they had imagined, and he couldn't persuade him to change his mind with words alone.

He could only put on a mocking face and see what O5-7 was trying to do:

"Yo. If you say so, shouldn't the Foundation be disbanded immediately?"

Then, nothing happened.

O5-7 apparently had no intention of bothering Two.

"There's no need for a discussion, number two. O5-7 said, "I'm just going to ask one question—"

He took a deep breath and looked around at the other twelve like the moderators of a meeting.

The anger, indifference, curiosity, and recognition in everyone's eyes are all visible.

"If human beings can't develop, it's part of the norm. "

"And if human beings can continue to develop, it is abnormal. "

"You choose to be loyal to humanity?"

"Or stay true to normal?"

O5-1 jerked his head, and Professor Fermi glared at him unafraid.

He stared calmly at the cloudy eyes, not finding much surprise in them.

He knew that he had expected such a question, and that O5-1 must have sensed the contradiction between humanity and normalcy much earlier, and had made the choice.

And now, the old man is convinced that in addition to O5-4 . Anyone other than O5-7 will firmly choose normalcy.

However, in the next second, the old man saw a completely different situation than he had hoped.

In addition to O5-7 and O5-4, who have already chosen humans, there are also 6, 8, 11, and 12 stations that have passed.

O5-13 also seems to have a backbone, just sitting there, safe as an ornament, a silent potted plant.

Undoubtedly, this situation was completely beyond O5-1's expectations, but it was also beyond the imagination of the audience.

- Shouldn't the maintenance of normalcy be one of the means of preserving human existence?

Why would O5-1 be so mad as to treat means as an end in themselves???

It's like suffering is indispensable on the road to success, but some people regard hardship as their goal, and even career progress can be thrown aside in order to endure hardship.

In the imagination of the audience, the O5 who chose to be loyal to humanity should have an overwhelming advantage!

"Without humans, even if normalcy is maintained, what's the use?"

"Activate the mechanical séance and rebuild human civilization. "

"No, it's a pioneer in learning, entrusting the future to the next civilization. "

......

"You guys, what's going on in your head?!" O5-1 roared with exertion.

He had probably forgotten that he was an old man, and he was completely unsuitable for this kind of occasion where he had to talk a lot and the ECG was straight up.

"Do you still deserve to sit here and be a member of the Overseer Council?!"

"You're going to forget your duties?!Are you hypnotized by Seven?!"

He stood up on crutches and yelled at the councillors who had chosen humanity.

The originally sacred and solemn conference room was filled with fierce roars almost instantly.

"Loyalty to normalcy is the greatest loyalty to humanity!"

"If we ignore normalcy, human civilization will be abnormally destroyed hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times!"

"It is precisely because we have always been based on normalcy, guarding normalcy, rebuilding civilization after disasters, and resisting anomalies under the veil, that human civilization can obtain the basic conditions for continuity!"

"Without the current normalcy, where are humanity going?"

"We have always been, and have always been, concerned about the survival of human beings as a race and human civilization as a whole!"

"Our ultimate goal of protecting normalcy must be this!"

"Uncertainty and abnormality are all existences that may lead to the complete destruction of human civilization, and the only way to ensure that human civilization can continue better is to protect normalcy!"

"Focusing narrowly on the current human race will only increase the risk for no reason!"

O5-7 raised his hand at O5-1 and asked:

"Klaus. "

He will no longer call each other number one.

"Even if the human race you call is only a small part of the Foundation,"

"It's even only members of the O5 Council,"

"It's even just you,"

"Is this the future you'd like to see?"

"If all humans outside of the Extermination Foundation were needed to eliminate this anomaly,"

"Would you do that?"

That's not asking, not even asking a question.

It's a reproach on the premise of knowing the answer, it's a street fight that tears off the last bit of disguise from each other, and it throws away the aura of the O5 councillor and exposes the truest nature.

And that's the question O5-7 always wanted to ask.

"I, I, I ......"

O5-1 has an angry expression, but this anger does not support a counterattack against O5-7, and there are not even words to support it.

As a result, all he was left with was impotent rage, and he was in a hurry.

In the end, I couldn't even say "I", only the silence after being subdued.

"That's enough, is that hard to answer?" O5-4 couldn't stand it.

He was already full of disappointment with today's Foundation, especially the idiot No. 1 who was pulling the Foundation, pulling the lofty ideals of the first generation of parliamentarians, and satisfying his personal private domain.

He had also fantasized that the Foundation had always guarded humanity, and that maintaining normalcy was just one of the means.

It's just that everything has to speak with reality.

"One, are you thinking that even if all humans outside of the Foundation are terminated - or even except you? "

"Just take Containment-2000 and make a batch, and normalcy will be maintained?"

"Don't hide it, you've been like this for decades. "

"Do they deserve to be killed by you?"

"Do their lives deserve to be the price you have to pay for maintaining normalcy that you have been saying all along?"

O5-1 did not deny it.

He just watched the scene in a trance, his gaze wandering away, seeking the help of his own people.

He dimly saw the indifferent or sarcastic looks of the other emperors, and when had he been used as a target for a fire-gathering attack since he took office as Overseer One?

The wind and waves blew on him, bringing the people who were on the large ship of the Foundation to a more dangerous situation, and more wind and waves struck.

He saw his throne begin to crumble, and the storm he had been planning for was coming, but he didn't even have time to gather the pieces.

"One. "O5-11 has joined the crusade.

But unlike the agitated ones, his mood and tone were very smooth.

"Since the day I joined the Foundation, I have worked for one goal, and that is to protect all of humanity. "

"You should know that I have always been against abuse, even the use of D-Class. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"I am also opposed to all sorts of inhumane experiments on the so-called Type Blue and Type Green. "

"It's not a necessary evil at all. "

"If the Foundation is to protect the illusory goal of normalcy, the evil agency that would do even the unleashing of all anomalous massacres of humanity. "

"Then I'd rather not sit here, I'd rather never drink the fountain of youth. "

In the midst of this increasingly manic storm, not everyone was Professor Fermi's help.

O5-3 stood firmly beside One, and shouted scolding:

"You guys are just a bunch of crazy people. "

"Do you let the anomaly change the world into a mess, sleep today, see the earth explode tomorrow, and see the sun get cold the day after tomorrow, you will be happy, right?"

"Or are you willing to watch everyone around you become reality benders, making the world illogical?"

O5-4 simply confronted Three:

"If humanity is all gone, then it doesn't matter to me whether there is logic in the world or not. "

"Three, we really should protect humanity from anomalies and keep the world running smoothly. "

"But what we're doing now isn't focused on protecting humanity at all. "

O5-5 chooses and three to serve two breads with cheese, and besieges four:

"Then we might as well just accept our fate. "

"Assuming that what Enrique said is right, then let's act as the immune system of normalcy and do the necessary evil to humans. "

"If you are fragile to this extent, you can leave the Foundation and set up your own door. "

"Let's see if we are more supported by people who are guarding normalcy, or whether you are more popular with you who are turning the world upside down. "

"Don't be divisive, Five. O5-6 didn't get up.

The parliamentarian simply sat in his seat, sighing sadly and shaking his head in despair. []

Look at the Foundation's former consensus being cut and shattered by colleagues with their own weapons and desires.

"Now is not the time for infighting. Don't make such extreme statements either. "

But her efforts were doomed to be in vain.

O5-11 was furious, and instead laughed out loud, taunting the inexplicable guys.

"It's just for what you call the guardian of the world order. "

"Can you kill all those whom you are paranoid about as going down the wrong path?"

"I'd really like to see how you plan to win hearts and minds by slaughtering humans. "

Several lawmakers who stood up were-for-tat, and their momentum was rising, and they would not and would not abate.

The meeting has evolved from Trials O5-7 to Trials O5-1 and even the Trials Foundation.

Who else is not on the side, and who else can be co-opted......

O5-1 sighed blankly, looking at O5-13 wrapped in black clothing.

"What about Thirteen? Why don't you keep quiet?"

Hearing this, O5-13 took an electronic monitor to the table and pointed it at O5-1.

[I have nothing to say. 】

"I have nothing to say. The electronic tone replied synchronously.

"Klaus, stop talking nonsense. O5-7 sneered, condescendingly.

"I know you're going to get rid of me as O5 right now. "

"Until then, I will use my authority to launch one last proposal. "

O5-1 didn't interrupt him, and the old man was silent in the storm.

O5-7's proposal may be weightless, but both supporters and opponents must respect the authority of the Councillors.

That's their vital power.

"I propose," O5-7 said aloud, "that the Foundation change its goals with immediate effect. "

Every syllable was like a cannon roar, bombarding everyone's hearts.

"From guarding the normalcy itself to guarding human development, protecting the uncertainty needed for human development. "

"This requires us to decipher a large number of anomalous objects that may be useful for human development, and to make their contents public. "

Alternatively, the Foundation will be disbanded. "。
