The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 310 - 196: Tang’s Fatal Weakness
Chapter 310: Chapter 196: Tang’s Fatal Weakness”Hey, how much history do you guys still remember?” Jiang Shu turned his head to look at the four Tablet Spirits.

The fox had already left the rooftop, but he still stood there without moving.

A: Probably... still remember most of it, your history isn’t too bad.

”Good, that’s good, remember the main points, and you guys can ponder and fabricate the rest of the details.” Jiang Shu nodded.

What he and the fox had just discussed was his idea, to use the collective subconscious to hypnotize the entire city, thereby greatly weakening the Main Brain’s power and ultimately destroying the Main Brain.

Such a plan does sound a bit fantastical, but the more Jiang Shu thought about it, the more he realized its feasibility, and his own foundation in hypnosis wasn’t bad either; he had only hidden it in front of Wolf because he was worried that Wolf might suspect him.

Although...

To accomplish such a feat, it would definitely take a lot of time, and it’s very possible that this time would be measured in years.

Compared to the war tactics of Clo, which could easily lead to tens of thousands of casualties, ”Sky Pavilion” wouldn’t endanger anyone’s life before the overall situation was decided.

Moreover, as Jiang Shu once said to Clo—

”If you can’t come up with a comprehensive plan for reconstruction, the act of overthrowing corruption is more terrifying than the corruption itself.”

Jiang Shu used to think this way; blind warfare couldn’t save others, at most it was just self-gratification of the agitators.

But now he had gradually come to understand, under the Character Card system of Lonely City, no one could conceive a ”perfect system” because everyone in Lonely City had limited knowledge.

It was very difficult for everyone to grasp the essence of the matter.

However, his conception could well solve this problem, as that grand Magic Performance could be halted at any time before it started, without hurting any individual.

Before this, Jiang Shu still had plenty of time to slowly understand Lonely City and could try to find the best way to rebuild.

”For now, let’s just take it slow,” Jiang Shu thought of the difficulties involved and immediately felt a great deal of pressure.

To implant such a collective subconscious, first, he had to seamlessly integrate this historical culture into the everyday life of the people of Lonely City, which required starting from books, games, movies, derivative products, and so on.

As long as the works were excellent enough and spread widely, this could be achieved in a relatively short period of time.

This is called Cultural Invasion of the Otherworld.TXT.

Next, after the first phase was complete, he needed to find evidence that Lonely City fabricated its history.

Considering Duan Xun’s fate, the convoluted web undoubtedly involved the top secrets of the Three Major Groups, which definitely couldn’t be achieved easily.

This is called 007 The Top Secret.AVI.

Finally, he would need enough influence on public opinion, targeting the irrational aspects of Lonely City to create misleading discourse, which again entails secretly cultivating online opinion leaders and such; otherwise, it would be difficult to spread this collective subconscious throughout the entire city.

This is called Introduction to Communication Studies and New Media Research.DOC.

Jiang Shu rubbed his head, feeling slightly headache.

Although the three steps were determined quickly, he knew that no one had ever walked this path before, so there would certainly be countless difficulties in actual implementation.

Many details and directions would change as his understanding of Lonely City deepened.

And all this could only be done clandestinely, it must not be brought to the forefront until the moment of truth.

”Let’s take it one step at a time,” Jiang Shu muttered to himself, with ideas about reforms in other aspects of Lonely City emerging in his mind.

These were the unfinished tasks of the Deception Group from before, concerning the police system in Lonely City and so on, which was also what Devil Wind wanted to achieve.

Speaking of Devil Wind, Jiang Shu’s heart suddenly sank; he slightly lowered his gaze and looked down from the edge of the rooftop.

It was a dizzyingly high height.

Devil Wind’s death had been so sudden.

And it all started because of his own carelessness.

He thought he had found a flaw in Tang, and so without hesitation, he splashed the ”smiling face’s” dirty water onto Tang, hoping to cause some trouble for Tang that would be more favorable for the Deception Group’s operation.

But afterward.

Mu Jin’s rebellion, the police’s successful capture of Devil Wind, Tang’s Fake Body preventing him from reading minds or foretelling anything useful...

And those three shots from Tang, fired without hesitation just to infuriate him.

All these factors combined made Devil Wind’s death seem so abrupt, completely beyond his expectations.

And when Devil Wind had taken a police officer hostage, he had stood on the roof of a police car.

At the time, he had realized that with Devil Wind’s ability alone, there was no escaping that evening, so he silently signaled Devil Wind with his eyes to give up resisting.

Being captured was not a big deal, with him there, with the fox there, they could sooner or later rescue Devil Wind, only a change of appearance was needed.

There was absolutely no need to die.

Devil Wind saw his hint and prepared to give up the resistance.

But then, Tang fired.

Three utterly unnecessary and incomprehensible shots.

Jiang Shu clenched his fist again.

Those two twisted bullets were lying in the box where he kept his Black Silver, and he would return them to Tang, but not yet, at least not until he found Tang’s real body.

In any case, to some extent, he had to restrain the Social Sequence, which was what Devil Wind wanted to do.
