[Detailed file browsing...]
Elliot was completely stunned upon seeing this file.
The file was so detailed that rely looking at the summarized key information report felt like 24-hour comprehensive surveillance without any blind spots.
What’s even more outrageous is that this data includes a query capable of precise information down to the second, with a chip equipped with a highly intelligent query tool that can filter by tags such as status changes, whether speaking, or whether sleeping.
Sevens, however, remained very calm, although he had to admit he was indeed surprised that Network Supervision would actually be willing to help them.
Elliot with a puzzled face: "They... they know everything?"
"What’s wrong? Worried about privacy leaks? Don’t be foolish, our privacy isn’t worth much, we’re not engaging in illegal activities."
These are Elliot’s argunts on the internet, especially with those who believe the European Barrier invades privacy.
He wasn’t confused about that.
"No..."
"Are you saying monitoring as precise as physiological conditions makes you uncomfortable? This service isn’t cheap at companies offering Prosthetic System services—
Even the post-mortem data retrieval isn’t cheap, consider it given to us for free."
In this world, every service has a price, including comprehensive monitoring of physiological conditions.
There’s also a low-cost version for the poor: storing physiological conditions as "video" in a storage device, becoming readable post-mortem so that coroners or one’s rcenary companions know how they died.
However...
That’s still not the focus.
The focus is that Network Supervision knows everything; doesn’t this an the European Union knows everything too?
The European Union knows there are cyber ntal disorders in factories, knows the critical points before their outbreak, knows what triggered them to beco crazy...
They just don’t bother.
With the help of Network Supervision, the evidence chain that indicts ADL for causing cyber ntal disorders will only beco more complete...
But does this really have any aning? Or rather, what’s the significance of him doing this?
Elliot sotis appeared quite naive: for example, after experiencing Foxstone’s victory, he truly had this illusion—that the European Union was genuinely deceived by companies, that the cyber ntal disorder events were indeed suppressed by unethical companies.
Now...Even Elliot’s dullness couldn’t prevent him from discovering the truth: the European Union has always known where cyber ntal disorders occur, and could precisely know when events happened from such reports.
Elliot stared blankly at Sevens; his dull expression recognition capability seed to have improved a bit:
He saw a hint of a cynical smile on Sevens’ indifferent face, a smile hidden so well that Elliot felt if not under such circumstances, he wouldn’t have possibly noticed Sevens was smiling cynically.
At this mont, Elliot felt that as a worker, the resentnt towards the company’s exploitation and the European Union’s inaction was less pronounced than Sevens, the civil servant...
Previously, he thought civil servants were just those who drank tea at work and wielded authority while on business trips; he envied...should say he was jealous of them, jealous that they could enjoy a good life without having to do anything.
But now this view suddenly faded a little.
Sevens patted Elliot on the shoulder: "We need to keep going; without us, the cyber ntal disorder incidents would never see the light of day, this makes it aningful."
[Lille: He’s right, at least in fact, without these efforts, these workers would ultimately be docunted as frenzied murderers, their families would only be families of criminals, never having the opportunity to beco civil servants or enter company managent.]
[Elliot: Brother, do you also think being a civil servant or a company dog is the best job?]
[Lille: No, it’s just that the positions enjoying the most labor achievents were closed off because of such events.]
[Lille: Obviously, this isn’t fair.]
[Elliot: But you said not to pursue fairness...]
[Lille: Haha, good mory, let rephrase—]
[Lille: It doesn’t look pleasant to , so if given the chance, I would definitely change this situation.]
[Lille: If others need fairness, I’ll say it’s unfair; if others need justice, I’ll say it’s unjust.]
[Lille: You’ve learned well, now enter the next phase: stop complaining, then focus all attention on thinking about how to proceed, how to do it.]
[Lille: Coincidentally, the server setup in Bruges needs a bit of ti, we also need ti to plan the next trip; anwhile, you should visit this cyber ntal disorder patient’s family.]
Elliot silently nodded, his mind was blank just monts ago, but after Lille’s words, he found himself indeed wanting to visit John’s family.
He looked at Sevens and nodded: "I want to go see John’s family."
Sevens was taken aback, but quickly nodded as well.
The Phantom beside him jumped up from the sofa:
"I’ll start the car."
