The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1006 Gods and Buddhas Everywhere (Part 10)

After the meeting, the principal's face was extremely gloomy.

From this moment on, she was destined to become a sinner for all time.

But she had no choice.

Not to mention that everyone believes the problem lies with her management.

Although she has successfully shifted the blame, Ms. Zhan is, after all, her subordinate, and she can never completely absolve herself of that responsibility.

The bureau chief concluded by quoting an ancient saying:
"It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost."

Everyone here knows what this means.

At that point, there was really no other way, and the principal even tried to raise objections: "But these children might not be willing..."

The Minister of Health snorted coldly:
"Get them there first! As the principal, you can't be incapable of even this, can you?"

But these aren't...ordinary children!

This refers not only to the child's abilities.

And their backgrounds.

This immediately drew many echoes of this sentiment.

Originally, many of the children in the Special Children's Department were the children of members of the Special Bureau, but they dared not speak out because of the director's tacit approval, though they were certainly unwilling in their hearts.

When someone takes the lead, naturally, waves of opposition arise.

After a long pause, the bureau chief gestured for him to stop, and then slowly began to speak:
“I understand everyone’s concerns, but the reconstruction plan is for the greater good of ‘the descent of ten thousand Buddhas.’ Some people can’t be so disregard for the big picture; their thinking isn’t advanced enough.”

Once this serious accusation was leveled, everyone immediately fell silent.

Many people lowered their heads.

But they are still her own daughters. No matter how obedient they are to the organization's arrangements, she can't bring herself to let them end up in a bloody birthing factory.

There were no objections; those who were sons in their families naturally thought it was none of their business and remained indifferent.

Just then, the bureau chief dropped a bombshell:
“Because this matter concerns the ‘descent of ten thousand Buddhas,’ Wanfo Temple, grateful for the greatness of the dedication, has decided to make an exception—the donors and their immediate family members will be given priority to enter the temple for celibacy and escape the suffering of the mortal world.”

He gave a deep smile and added:

"Moreover, everyone can rest assured that this is just a temporary measure. Once the birth rate curve stabilizes and rises, these children will be able to return to work as soon as possible and receive promotions."

How could anyone not be tempted by such an explanation?
Sure enough, many people began to weigh the situation in secret, their faces showing thoughtful expressions.

However, some people still raised questions: "How should the aftermath of this disaster be handled? It will definitely spark discussions, especially the truth about the birthing factories... Many people have already seen it."

"Did you warn us not to leak this information?" Director Ren asked in a deep voice.

"certainly………"

“But those families who have lost children, mothers, or wives will always come to ask, right? How are we supposed to explain this? If this gets out, the reconstruction plan will probably fall apart.”

Some people scoffed, "They're just a bunch of lowly people, what kind of trouble can they cause?"

"Ha, that's because you don't need to deal with them!" another person in charge retorted coldly. "Those of us who are specifically responsible for connecting with the grassroots have to deal with them every day! You have no idea that the reconstruction plan depends entirely on them! If things really get out of hand, not only will the progress be delayed, but even order might collapse!"

At this moment, the bureau chief suddenly spoke up.

"Director Zhang is right, we can't let them cause trouble."

"Unless we have enough talent to participate in infrastructure construction and management, we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes at this critical moment."

So everyone started thinking about how to solve the problem.

However, this time the director didn't give them much time to ponder; he simply took something out of his pocket:
"Fortunately, Wanfo Temple has now achieved a technological breakthrough, so you can consider this..."

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

In the director's hand was an old cell phone.

“That’s right,” he smiled. “Wanfo Temple has rebuilt its StarNet connection, which is a great thing that benefits countless people.”

No one could believe it was true.

There was an uproar, and people kept looking at the cell phone that the bureau chief had passed down to them.

But it's unclear what's going on.

Those video, live, and social media platforms are still empty.

"That's right, there's nothing yet," the director said again. "So your task now is to work hard to enrich the content, so that people online can see a lot of positive and uplifting content, thus enriching people's cultural and entertainment life!"

"In this way, the real suffering will no longer be the focus, and people will naturally devote themselves to the 'new world' we have built."

"When conditions are right, we will launch the 'StarNet Gold Rush' project—allowing people to participate in the 'Common Prosperity Plan' without leaving their homes."

Director Ren became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he were completely absorbed in this magnificent vision.

However, the subordinates looked at each other, scratching their heads in bewilderment.

"Don't overthink it, just follow along," Director Ren sneered. "Stick to me, you won't suffer any losses."

The bureau chief has spoken.

No one had any questions anymore.

……

At this moment, Liu Sheng finally understood, little by little—

How exactly did this world gradually become the way it is today?

In the original timeline, the birth factory probably also experienced a destruction once.

It is estimated that the riot occurred under the leadership of Deputy Factory Director Ding.

However, without her intervention, the ending would most likely not be so pleasant.

Perhaps it was because people died in it, or perhaps it was because they realized the need to strengthen management, upgraded the breeding factory, and ultimately introduced more young girls to join the nest.

That's why it became increasingly difficult to see the girl later on.

Because of this riot, Wanfo Temple decided to introduce other measures to consolidate its power.

Therefore, the StarNet was reconnected.

However, it still controls connection speed and permissions to prevent people from forming genuine connections without geographical and time constraints.

Furthermore, the endless stream of content and abundant gold-digging activities gradually immerse everyone in the StarNet world, making them forget that they still live in desolate ashes.

This led to the absurd and distorted world that Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu later saw, and that Wang Qingguang grew up in.

At this moment, Wang Qingguang was in tears.

Although young, he has experienced too much and already understands what everything before him means.

Ling Xiaoshu silently reached out his shared hand and gently touched her hair:
"That... is all in the past."

Wang Qingguang shook his head.

"But it's not the same for me..."

"I want to...I want to complete the side quests."

Side Quest Two: Become the Savior.

At this moment, Liu Sheng was controlling the space, closely following Director Ren upstairs. Upon hearing this, she slowly turned around.

Wang Qingguang's voice was weak:
"Sisters, I know you all have your own things to do, and I understand that this should be a thing of the past. But... I still can't accept that more girls will get caught up in this..."

"Actually, I wasn't like that when I was little. I was a very neat and tidy child... in my memory."

This surprised Liu Sheng somewhat.

"Then...what happened to you afterwards..."

Wang Qingguang lowered his head: "Because the people from the Special Bureau came again and again, my family had to hide me... Perhaps it was because of this that, as I hid, I also hoped that I could disappear, and eventually I obtained... this ability."

"But... I couldn't control it back then, it would appear and disappear intermittently. So they found Dr. Han and had surgery on me... 'remodeling' me into that shape."

"That happened when I was very young. Since everyone was like that, I didn't care, and I no longer felt like an oddball..."

Her tears flowed down, which also caused Ling Xiaoshu to shed tears.

"But now I realize that all of this was man-made... and I... I feel resentful!"

Ling Xiaoshu gently hugged herself.

It was like hugging Wang Qingguang and giving her a kiss. Qiao Yu looked at Liu Sheng with a pleading look in her eyes.

"If you want to do it, then do it."

Liu Sheng did not deny the matter.

“Then, we want to borrow some of Skynet’s permissions,” Ling Xiaoshu said, “and also, the help of ‘The World’!”

“Okay.” Liu Sheng nodded.

"Oh, right! I need to borrow something else..."

"what?"

"It's...that tablet."

Liu Sheng suddenly realized and took out a tablet.

This was taken from the monk at Wanfo Temple.

Once Skynet is established, this simple material transport will be possible.

That's why she was able to transmit the nuclear bomb from Ren Tianlong, which she had forcibly absorbed using her super-powerful self-healing ability, to the birth factory via the SkyNet, thus destroying everything.

This tablet is used internally by Wanfo Temple. It can connect to Wanfo Temple's server and contains a lot of old-world data, including old movies and TV shows.

But aside from accessing the server, there were no other functions, and when that master was erased, his privileges were also erased.

Otherwise, Liu Sheng could have allowed the "world" to flow upstream and decipher it.

Currently, it can only be used by connecting to Skynet.

However, the establishment of Skynet was limited to the new capital and could not be extended further.

But for Ling Xiaoshu and Wang Qingguang's plan, it was enough.

Since she had let them do it, Liu Sheng didn't interfere any further.

Meanwhile, she and Qiao Yu followed the bureau chief.

The space overlapped with his office.

He had barely sat down when he took out his phone, muttering to himself as he operated it:
"We need to report the situation to Wanfo Temple immediately..."

Director Ren opened an app, and Liu Sheng glanced at it casually, but was suddenly startled.

This interface looks familiar.

Isn't this the app of the God of Light that we saw in that "death ascension" world?

The only difference is that the central image of the God of Light has been replaced by a smiling Maitreya Buddha, a cute and endearing cartoon version.

The bottom buttons are neatly arranged:

Offering incense, making offerings, drawing lots, praying, overcoming difficulties, daily practice, and fellow Buddhists' exchanges...

The features are much richer than before, the icons are more refined, and even the character illustrations are much more vivid, clearly indicating that it has undergone several iterations.

Once again, Liu Sheng realized that there were indeed many familiar places in this world, and he had a strong feeling that everything was interconnected.

"May I enter?" Liu Sheng asked softly.

[Invading...]

[Intrusion complete.]

"World" is the name of the world.

The next instant, a door quietly appeared on the office wall.

The mahogany door is carved with the character "福" (fortune/blessing) and is decorated with a pair of door gods, all of whom are smiling Buddhas. The left one holds a sword and the right one holds a lotus. Their smiles are too blatant, and their teeth are gleaming white, making people shudder.

The horizontal inscription above the door reads four large, black characters:
karma.

Of course, this was only superimposed in the office, so Director Ren couldn't see it.

Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu temporarily said goodbye to Ling Xiaoshu and Wang Qingguang, whose heads were buried together, and then stepped into the APP's portal.

Once the threshold space is established, the boundary between reality and illusion can be broken, and one can even enter the virtual world of the Star Network.

Behind the door lies an endless network, filled with bands of light formed by "0" and "1", creating a dazzling world.

In the distance, a familiar figure was running through the path of light.

It was Director Ren.

However, it is still a virtual avatar, composed of pixelated blocks. From the furrowed brow blocks, one can tell that he is very anxious.

Finally, he arrived at a virtual altar with incense burning and a dazzling light. The altar was richly decorated and dazzling, and behind the altar, the shadow of Buddha was faintly visible.

Director Ren sighed resignedly.

He took out three golden incense sticks, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner. He then took out a gold bracelet and placed it on top of the burner. Finally, he knelt down and prayed devoutly.

In reality, Director Ren simply clicked the "Offer Incense" and "Make Offerings" buttons in sequence, and then took out a gold bracelet from his pocket. The gold bracelet magically disappeared. He then clicked "Pray" and then "Exchange with Buddhist Friends," which finally brought up a dialogue box.

From Liu Sheng's perspective, he was already kneeling on both knees, looking terrified, his forehead pressed to the ground, respectfully reporting:
"Things are progressing well, so please rest assured, Master."

As the mist swelled, the Buddha's shadow appeared in layers.

A line of golden dialogue boxes appeared in the void:
I'm not entirely at ease.

[Wanfo Temple suffered heavy losses, even its abbot died in the attack. Who is responsible?]

Director Ren's face turned pale, his body trembled uncontrollably, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"Your subordinates have...severely punished those involved..."

You haven't found the real culprit; they're all just scapegoats.

"Your subordinate...has confirmed..."

【lie!!!!】

Thunder roared in fury, and clouds churned.

The other party showed him no mercy, and immediately imposed a punishment that caused Director Ren to tremble violently in his seat before collapsing to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Liu Sheng sensed the origin of that existence.

His gaze was drawn into the depths of the mist.

With a flick of her wrist, Qiao Yu sent out a tracking talisman that disappeared into the misty Buddhist light.

The two quickly chased after him inside, ignoring Director Ren who was lying on the ground.

Dialogue boxes also appeared in the sky.

[You handled this terribly. There was a traitor in the birthing factory who revolted, and you allowed him to incite the female workers to rebel, yet you didn't notice for so long.]

"I... didn't know... there were traitors?"

[The one surnamed Ding.]

"So...it was him!" The bureau chief struggled to his feet, begging for mercy. "I'll handle it right away! I...I'll wipe out his whole family! No, his son is still in the hospital, I'll have my son kill him right now!"

The other party neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply said:

In short, we must expedite the StarNet project.

"But our content isn't enough..."

[Hurry up and take the picture, do we need to teach you?]

"Rest assured, Master, we will do our best!"

After a moment, Director Ren mustered his courage and asked, "By the way, where are those missing little girls from the bureau now?"

That's what he really wanted to ask.

The other party is a god, all-knowing, so this shouldn't be too difficult for him.

Sure enough, the other party sneered.

The clouds gathered and dispersed, and the sky cracked open to reveal a line of words:

"Isn't it right here in your room?"
