On January 1, 2019, a middle-aged man named Mao Qi, who had been unemployed for a long time, fell asleep by the stone railing of a river. In the middle of the night, he opened his eyes and saw a white light. After a while, the light disappeared, and Mao Qi drowsily fell asleep again. When he woke up, he was surprised to find that he seemed to have been transported to another place; he remembered sleeping by the stone railing of the river. Now he was lying on a white bed, and beside him stood a person wearing a device resembling a microphone and headphones. This person claimed to be an alien. Mao Qi was skeptical, and the alien, seeing his doubt, invited him to look out the window. So, Mao Qi walked to the window and was astonished to see a blue planet, which was Earth; it was clear that he was in outer space. Mao Qi slapped himself hard to confirm he was not dreaming. He finally believed that he had indeed encountered an alien.
Thus, the alien and Mao Qi engaged in a long and significant conversation, which changed Mao Qi's life trajectory and would undoubtedly have a major impact on humanity in the future.
(Note: This dialogue record was documented by the alien and later provided to Mao Qi.)
Mao Qi: "Are you really an alien? Am I in outer space right now? We humans also have space stations in outer space; will we be discovered?"
Alien: "Yes, I am an alien. You are indeed in outer space right now. But what I want to tell you is that the Earth you live on is an intelligent simulation system constructed by people on my planet using supercomputers. Since it is a simulation system, I can input invisible commands so that Earthlings' spaceships, space stations, and satellites cannot detect us. Of course, I could have talked to you on the land where you live, but I brought you to outer space to avoid your disbelief. I have found you for a very important reason."
Mao Qi: "What do you mean? The Earth is an intelligent simulation system? What does that mean?"
Alien: "I have some understanding of your life and technological development. You must have played online games, right?"
Mao Qi: "Yes, I have played online games. What does this have to do with online games?"
Alien: "I use online games as a metaphor to make it easier for you to understand. The Earth and solar system you live in are actually a simulated world created by people on my planet using supercomputers and super-intelligent simulation systems. Just like the world in the online game you play."
Mao Qi: "That can't be right. Everything I can see, all the sounds I can hear, the objects I can touch—are they all simulated?"
Alien: "To answer your question, we need to clarify the origin of your simulated world and why such a simulation world was constructed. This is a long story, so please be patient. First, let me tell you about my origin. We are from a planet called 'Kafna.' If translated into your Chinese, 'Kafna' means 'wise person,' so you can refer to that planet as 'Wisdom Star.' The science and technology on our 'Wisdom Star' have long been very advanced. With the continuous development of technology on 'Wisdom Star,' the biopharmaceutical industry has also flourished. However, it encountered a bottleneck: insufficient development of genetic technology. To make breakthroughs, it is necessary to thoroughly understand the mechanisms of gene operation. The impact and contribution of this industry are enormous because the residents of 'Wisdom Star'—the 'Wisdom Star people'—are also human. So, for convenience, I will refer to both Earthlings and Wisdom Star people as 'people.' As people, they have a strong desire for longevity and health, and even a strong desire to enhance their physical abilities and maintain eternal youth. As for those who originally had genetic diseases, they are even more eager to cure their illnesses as soon as possible to live a normal life. Ordinary medications and surgeries can only solve part of the problems externally; to fundamentally solve these issues, it is necessary to start with genes. However, research in genetic biology is very difficult, and conducting experiments is even harder. But as long as breakthroughs can be achieved, the business opportunities and wealth that follow are immeasurable. Therefore, many biopharmaceutical companies took risks and illegally used human bodies for related biological experiments. These biopharmaceutical companies all have backers and are controlled by the privileged class. For a long time, these matters were unknown to outsiders. During this time, these pharmaceutical companies developed many very effective and popular drugs, such as those that can cure many genetic diseases and those that can extend human lifespan. With these unethical and illegal biological experiments, they produced many drugs that benefited many people. However, the truth cannot be hidden forever. Decades later, the media finally exposed the illegal and horrific human experiments conducted by these pharmaceutical companies. The unfortunate individuals used for human experiments were all poor people. They were lured under the guise of high-paying job opportunities. Over the decades, the number of victims reached tens of thousands. The families of these victims, along with many people with a sense of justice, either took to the streets or filed lawsuits, engaging in a series of righteous battles against these pharmaceutical groups. Under immense public pressure, the pharmaceutical companies controlled by the privileged class announced a permanent ban on recruiting volunteers and a permanent ban on human experiments. But troubles continued; many employees of related pharmaceutical companies and technical personnel engaged in related research faced retaliation, being stabbed or even killed. The families of the victims of human experiments tried to protect the perpetrators, leading to intense conflicts outside the courtroom, and in the end, the perpetrators of related cases received light sentences. Some cases of missing pharmaceutical company employees were ignored by the police. Compensation after the fact dragged on for decades, and I won't elaborate on that. After this incident, pharmaceutical companies dared not conduct human experiments anymore. However, the economic benefits brought by the gene modification-related industry were too tempting for the privileged class to give up this lucrative opportunity. But now they could not continue their research; what to do? According to traditional research methods, it might take hundreds of years to make any breakthrough. Therefore, under the suggestion of some scientists, the pharmaceutical companies controlled by the privileged class turned their attention to intelligent simulation systems. Because the intelligent simulation systems on Wisdom Star had long been very advanced. However, genetic research is a complex and profound topic. Such a complex simulation system did not exist at that time on Wisdom Star. But as the saying goes, 'small money does not come out, big money does not enter.' The privileged class had plenty of money; they found many supercomputers whose performance far exceeded what Earthlings could imagine. No country or individual on Earth has yet been able to produce computers with such fast computing speeds. Using these computers as a platform, they gathered many physicists, chemists, biologists, geneticists, and software engineers to jointly develop this system. They constructed this complex simulation system based on knowledge from physics, chemistry, biology, and other fields. The simulation system first simulated and constructed a life-sustaining environment similar to Earth. Then, by inputting the characteristics of relevant chemical elements, they simulated the chemical reactions between chemical elements. After countless efforts, they simulated proteins through chemical reactions. They adjusted parameters so that proteins reacted and fused with other elements or proteins, simulating the formation process of single-celled organisms. After ten years of operation, the simulation system finally constructed a large number of invertebrates, and after twenty years of simulation operation, it finally created simulated organisms that were highly consistent with the characteristics of Wisdom Star people, which are humans on Earth. Since they simulated Earthlings for medical simulation research purposes, to facilitate research, they tried to simulate sensory systems similar to those of Wisdom Star people, including touch, hearing, vision, and taste. So when you asked me why you can see things, hear sounds, and touch objects, this is the result of the simulation system."
Mao Qi: "Then why have there been mass extinctions? Why are fossils discovered? Are fossils also simulated?"
Alien: "During the development and operation of this simulation system, military funding and personnel were involved; they hoped to use this simulation system to assist in the development of weapons and military medical technology. Of course, military personnel are also part of the privileged class, and we won't delve deeper into this topic. When these military personnel saw that biological entities appeared in this Earth simulation system, they proposed to develop weather weapons, which are weapons that can cause climate deterioration in enemy countries. Other privileged classes naturally dared not defy military orders. The four mass extinctions on Earth were caused by military personnel using our simulation system to simulate the power of their weather weapons, leading to species extinction. Why are there fossils? This simulation system strictly simulates according to the principles of biology, physics, and chemistry. The shells of shellfish, the bones of vertebrates, and the stems and leaves of plants on Earth are all very hard. After the mass extinction caused by weather weapons, under the action of physical and chemical processes, carbonization, calcification, and silicification naturally formed fossils. This was an accidental outcome, formed naturally due to physical, chemical, and biological laws, combined with the changes caused by weather weapons. From the perspective of the simulation system, fossils are certainly also the result of simulation."
Mao Qi: "I have a question I don't understand. Since they have simulated life and even simulated humans through the simulation system, they should have thoroughly studied the principles of genes to simulate humans, right? If that's the case, since they already understand thoroughly, why go through the trouble of using simulated humans for research? If they still don't understand the principles of genes after simulating humans, how could they possibly simulate humans through the simulation system?"
Alien: "During those years of illegal human experiments, the relevant pharmaceutical biological companies had already roughly grasped some principles and rules of genes. Based on these principles and rules, combined with comprehensive guidance from chemistry and biology, the intelligent simulation system at that time was already quite advanced. It not only had the ability to accumulate experience but also had abstract thinking and deep logical reasoning capabilities. By inputting the above knowledge into the intelligent simulation system, the computer could discover patterns and knowledge that even top scientists would find difficult to uncover. As knowledge continued to accumulate, once it reached a certain level, the intelligent system mastered the rules of genes, and generating various organisms in the simulation system was not difficult. In fact, during the entire simulation process, the relevant companies initially understood the principles of genes, but to produce effective drugs, they had to thoroughly understand the principles of genes, so they still needed to continue experimenting through the simulation system. Moreover, the drugs they developed also had to be tested on simulated humans to understand the possible side effects."
Mao Qi: "You say humans are simulated, just like characters in a game. Then, is the alien I see now also simulated?"
Alien: "The body you see is a three-dimensional digital projection. Since I am not a simulated character, I must use a three-dimensional digital projection to communicate face-to-face with Earthlings so that they can see me."
Mao Qi: "So after humans appeared in this simulation system, the privileged class of Wisdom Star used this system to conduct various biological experiments on humans, right?"
Alien: "That's correct. The research institutions controlled by the privileged class, along with military personnel, conducted various human experiments on humans through this simulation system for medical, military, and other purposes. Of course, most of the experiments conducted by the pharmaceutical companies controlled by the privileged class were related to genes. They recklessly modified human genes through the simulation system to study the functions of various gene segments. This naturally caused many deaths and disabilities, but since it was a simulation system, the privileged class didn't care at all. The important thing is that they spent nearly a hundred years and finally understood the functions of various gene segments. Based on this, they developed various drugs. Of course, the test subjects for these drugs were the simulated humans. Since these experiments were conducted on simulated humans, the law could not regulate them. After nearly a hundred years of simulated human experiments, these pharmaceutical biological companies had fully mastered the principles of genes and developed various extremely effective drugs. Various genetic diseases were easily resolved. Some genetic drugs even enhanced human physical abilities and greatly extended human lifespans; the average lifespan of Wisdom Star people is over 200 years. Some drugs can keep women youthful, making an eighty-year-old look like a twenty-year-old. Others can significantly enhance male functions, allowing a ninety-year-old to still be a playboy. The relevant companies made a fortune. In fact, from a moral perspective, although humans are simulated, they are strictly simulated according to the genes of Wisdom Star people, with various characteristics similar to those of Wisdom Star people. The actions of the relevant companies are also equally immoral."
Mao Qi: "If Earth is simulated, what about other planets? If simulating Earth is for biomedical research, what is the purpose of simulating other planets?"
Alien: "Do you think there is only one company researching biology and medicine? Not to mention Wisdom Star, just look at how many companies and research institutions are studying biology and medicine on Earth right now? It would not be an exaggeration to say thousands. Each company hopes to conduct independent research and apply for patents as soon as they achieve results, which involves confidentiality issues. The solution is to create several planets..."
Mao Qi: "But other planets show no signs of life."
Alien: "Didn't I just mention the confidentiality issue? Each planet serves as a research platform for a company or research institution. To maintain confidentiality, the simulation system has set up a shielding confidentiality setting. Under this setting, relevant companies and institutions can only clearly see the real situation of the platform they are using, while the real situation of other platforms is invisible. This confidentiality system has undergone multiple upgrades and is extremely refined. Even if a company wants to spy on other platforms, they can only see a desolate scene. You cannot see life on other planets, even if Earthlings use telescopes or send robotic probes to other planets, they can only see barren landscapes."
Mao Qi: "Why not make other planets invisible?"
Alien: "All platforms share a single intelligent simulation system. A planet is a very large simulation research platform, making it difficult to achieve an invisibility level of shielding. Even if it were achieved, it would greatly consume energy and system performance. So, it is unnecessary. Of course, the simulated spaceship we are currently on is very small, so it wouldn't be a problem to make it invisible to Earthlings."
Mao Qi: "Since there are so many companies, which company is responsible for managing this intelligent simulation system?"
Alien: "It is managed by the military, and the military charges fees. Of course, during the construction process, the relevant companies cooperated closely with the military, but the management rights and sovereignty always belonged to the military."
Mao Qi: "But there are too many planets in the universe. Are there really that many companies and research institutions?"
Mao Qi: "Are they still using humans as test subjects?"
Alien: "Sigh. This is a long story. Please listen patiently and do not interrupt. While the pharmaceutical biological companies were making huge profits and achieving great success, the military also raised the rental fees for using the platform, making a lot of money. As a result, the military had sufficient funds to further use this artificial intelligence simulation system for military research. The success of this simulation system in biomedical fields also sparked the interest of economists, especially policymakers from various countries on Wisdom Star. They also wanted to use this simulation system to try out the economic policies they wanted to formulate, to see what results would emerge and to anticipate the pros and cons of economic policies in advance. However, if the humans in the simulation system were still in a primitive technological state, it would be impossible to conduct relevant economic and military research. Therefore, economists and the military decided that the humans on the platforms used for biomedical research could remain in a primitive state forever. But this Earth was the main platform for military and economic purposes. On this platform, they decided to give the humans here high intelligence as needed, gradually allowing the humans on this platform to master certain technologies to simulate a real military and economic environment. With this decision, the technology of humans on this platform began to develop. According to the system's settings at that time, the time in the simulation system on Earth corresponded to the time on Wisdom Star in this way: one day on Wisdom Star equaled six months in the simulation system on Earth. Thus, the technology of humans on Earth continued to develop. During this development process, the military took this opportunity to re-study hand-to-hand combat from the cold weapon era and the combat of cold weapons. In fact, we Wisdom Star people also experienced the cold weapon era, but due to wars, many related historical materials were lost, and many exquisite cold weapon designs and advanced combat techniques were forgotten. This simulation system allowed military strategists to see exquisite cold weapon designs they had never thought of before and to witness humans developing previously unseen advanced combat techniques. For economists, during the development of human technological civilization, they observed humans creating various production tools, gradually transitioning from barter to using shells as currency, and then to using gold and silver as currency, leading to the preliminary formation of a commercial system and the emergence of social division of labor. With the continuous progress of human technology, the military and economists further began their research. The military set up a control system that could control various natural disasters and even control people's emotions, which would lead to wars between different tribes. This system was very successful, and soon wars broke out among tribes. Later, humans evolved from tribes into nations, and wars between nations also became frequent. The military set up a subconscious control system in the simulation, and when they wanted to verify certain military theories, they would input the tactics predetermined by the military into the minds of military commanders on Earth through this subconscious control system. The military commanders on Earth would feel inspired and would strictly follow these tactics to command battles. Military personnel would observe from the sidelines to see how effective these tactics were. Especially military school students, they often used this system for exams. The responsible military school teachers utilized the subconscious control system to instigate military conflicts between certain military groups on Earth or even between certain countries on Earth. Then, they would let students be responsible for commanding a particular battle, allowing students to execute their devised tactics through the subconscious control system and see the results, using this as their exam score. Countries on Wisdom Star were all using this simulation system for such exams. May I ask, with so much military research and so many exams, what was the casualty rate among the humans in the simulation system? The number of deaths was an astronomical figure that was horrifying. And those economists, through the military's control system, simulated various economic conditions, and then again through subconscious control, let the decision-makers of certain countries on Earth adopt the economic policies that the economists wanted to verify. Although sometimes the economic policies worked, leading to economic prosperity in relevant countries for a period, when the economists' policies failed, they often caused economic recession or even collapse in relevant countries, leaving the people in dire straits. Especially those university economics professors, they used this simulation system for exams. You can imagine that the relevant universities purchased the rights to use the control system, but their usage rights were limited. The specific limitations depended on military regulations, university needs, and how much money was paid. They would then cause the economy of the regions they controlled to collapse and let economics students find ways to save the economy of those regions. When not in exams, military school students and university economics students often engaged in small battles or small economic crises during classes for study purposes. As a result, there were often casualties in military affairs, and the economy frequently faced recession and collapse, leaving people in dire straits. How many people suffered as a result, living in deep water and scorching fire."
Mao Qi: "What can we do? Just let them do whatever they want?"
Alien: "There is no way, because this is just a simulation system, like an online game, where the life and death of characters, wealth and poverty, and legal matters cannot be regulated. But later, the control of Earth was no longer in the hands of the military and economists, but rather in the hands of film groups, writers, directors, and filmmakers."
Mao Qi: "What? How did this happen?"
Alien: "The history of humanity, as well as the military, pharmaceutical biological companies, and economists, conducting various experiments on humans in the simulation system is far too numerous for me to list one by one. Forgive me for being unable to briefly summarize how they conducted experiments in human history because it is too complex and time is insufficient. I can only briefly explain how the control of this Earth platform shifted from the military and economists to the film industry and writers. There are a total of 32 countries on Wisdom Star, and this simulation system was constructed by one of the most powerful countries. This country's name is 'Gapt,' which means 'warrior' in the language of Wisdom Star. For convenience, let's call this country 'Warrior Nation'..."
Mao Qi: "Sorry to interrupt, but how can you understand the language of Earthlings?"
Alien: "We invented intelligent translation machines long ago that can accurately translate various languages. As for the language of Earthlings, it gradually developed after the military gave the humans in the simulation system high intelligence. The system has collected a large amount of data and has long intelligently gathered various words and grammar invented by Earthlings. As long as this content is input into the intelligent translation machine, no Earthling's language can stump us. Now, back to the main point. After learning that the simulation system of Warrior Nation was a great success, several other relatively advanced countries on Wisdom Star stole the technology of Warrior Nation's simulation system, and in the process, they also stole some important military intelligence. This made the military realize that to further protect military secrets, they must create a completely independent simulation system. Therefore, the military invested heavily in the most advanced computers and used the technology of this simulation system to construct a completely independent simulation system dedicated to military use. The Earth platform was then handed over to economists and biopharmaceutical companies to manage. However, the Earth platform was originally intended for military use, and the computers used were particularly advanced, resulting in high energy consumption and maintenance costs. Economists and biopharmaceutical companies did not need such a powerful platform. Because the computers used on the Earth platform were incompatible with the military's independent simulation system at that time. To further enhance confidentiality, the military deliberately made the hardware and software systems incompatible with other platforms. As a result, the Earth platform became a useless shell, tasteless to eat but a pity to discard. At this time, an incident occurred that completely changed the fate of the Earth platform. What incident? We have mentioned before that the humans in this simulation system are strictly simulated based on Wisdom Star people, and for medical biological research, they also simulated relevant reproductive organs. The users of the simulation system, after paying the usage fee, could freely observe the behaviors of humans on the corresponding platform and could record videos and audio when needed, originally for research convenience. However, some people recorded the sexual scenes of humans and sold them to Wisdom Star people as pornographic videos. All countries on Wisdom Star strictly prohibited the production and sale of such videos. However, due to the perpetrators' military background, no real case could be solved; they only arrested and punished some sellers. Although the police heard rumors about how these videos were made, with the military behind it, who would dare to investigate and collect evidence in the simulation system? After the military no longer regarded the Earth platform as a military research platform, the police immediately conducted an investigation and finally obtained conclusive evidence. However, the gang producing the pornographic videos consisted of relatives of high-ranking military officials. The police could only issue warnings. But the police did not conceal this matter; instead, they reported the case to the media, making the military very embarrassed. Many high-ranking military officials found the relatives involved in the case and reprimanded them. Finally, under public pressure, the military and police held a closed-door meeting. The military fully agreed to the police's strict supervision of those involved and allowed police personnel to periodically check the simulation system without infringing on corporate secrets to prevent anyone from continuing to produce pornographic videos. Of course, the military's existing dedicated independent simulation system was off-limits to the police. Those criticized military relatives originally planned to wash their hands of this matter. However, among these military relatives, one was the grandson of the president of Warrior Nation. He believed that they now had a complete set of equipment to shoot videos from the simulation system and edit them into movies. They could shoot not only pornographic films but also capture other life content from the simulation system and edit them into films of other genres. Other accomplices agreed with his opinion. However, the military no longer allowed them to touch this simulation system. In a fit of anger, this president's grandson found a way to raise a large sum of money to buy the Earth platform. When purchasing this platform, the military and the president warned them that they must never shoot pornographic videos again, or they would be imprisoned. They also had to accept regular inspections from police personnel to prevent the occurrence of pornographic video incidents again."
Mao Qi: "This president seems to be quite upright."
Alien: "If he were upright, how could those military relatives escape legal punishment? The president was so agitated at that time mainly because the public mocked him for only prohibiting the pornography of ordinary people while not prohibiting that of his grandson. Moreover, Warrior Nation also had many hostile countries, and these countries even claimed that this president was the commander of the pornographic video production team. So the president was extremely furious at that time."
Mao Qi: "What kind of movies did this president's grandson's film production team make?"
Alien: "They indeed did not shoot pornographic videos again. However, the movies they made marked the beginning of disaster for Earthlings."
Mao Qi: "How could making movies lead to disaster?"
Alien: "Do you remember the subconscious control system we mentioned earlier? You should understand why making movies would trigger disasters for Earthlings. Of course, at first, the movies they made were romantic comedies with happy endings. They used the subconscious control system a bit, and there were not many problems. But later, in addition to love stories, they also made tragedies, melodramas, and crime-themed movies, which brought tremendous disasters to Earthlings. I previously mentioned that in order to allow this simulation system to quickly simulate the process of life evolution, the time setting was that one day on Wisdom Star equaled six months in the simulation system. Now that this simulation system has been taken over by the film company, to facilitate filming, they modified the time setting so that the time in the simulation system is now completely synchronized with the time on Wisdom Star..."
Mao Qi: "Did anyone watch the movies they made? Were they popular?"
Alien: "Their movies were extremely popular. Why? As long as you understand their movie-making process, you will know why they were popular. They first determined the theme of the movie, whether it was a love movie, a tragedy, or a crime-themed movie. After determining the theme, they selected the location where the movie's story would take place, choosing a city. Then, they searched among the residents of this city for which people's personalities and appearances were suitable for the corresponding roles..."
Mao Qi: "How did they know who was suitable?"
Alien: "Whether real Wisdom Star people or Earthlings in the simulation system, 70% of their personalities are determined by genes, and 30% are determined by later environments. You must know that Earthlings are highly simulated versions of Wisdom Star people. As long as they figure out which genes a person carries, they can know that person's personality. In the simulation system, the Earth platform stores the genetic maps of all humans, and they can easily find people carrying certain genes. Of course, they also consider the person's appearance. Continuing with their movie-making process, after selecting the roles, they would track and film the selected individuals around the clock. When they wanted to trigger a certain plot they envisioned, they would use the subconscious control system on the relevant individuals, causing them to have corresponding thoughts and take action. Of course, since each person's situation and personality are different, the subconscious control system can only play a guiding role. The effectiveness of the guidance varies from person to person. However, the success rate of this subconscious control system is very high. Once the plot develops to a certain extent, and they believe it is time for post-production, they would stop filming, extract the relevant footage, and edit it, translating and dubbing it because the language of Earthlings was created by them after being given high intelligence, and it has no connection to the language of Wisdom Star. Then they would release the relevant movies. These movies do not require hiring big-name stars; you must know that the fees for big-name stars are astronomical. Since the scenes and plots in the simulation system actually occurred, the performances of these humans are incredibly real because they are not acting; all the roles exhibit genuine emotions, expressions, and reactions. Even top stars would find it difficult to act so realistically. Moreover, after issuing commands under the subconscious control system, since the simulated human society is very complex and modern humans generally have very high IQs, there would often be plot developments that the movie production team never anticipated, leading to dramatic twists and turns. The actors' performances are incredibly authentic, and the plots are so engaging that when such movies are released, they often achieve excellent box office results. Audiences love these movies. The film company also made a fortune and received a large amount of investment from investors. This president's grandson transformed from a recognized spendthrift into a giant in the film industry. After tasting success, the president's grandson further expanded the scale of the film company. He had multiple film production teams that produced movies using the methods we mentioned earlier. Initially, the movies they made were relatively healthy, such as love movies, comedies, inspirational movies, and films reflecting social realities. To earn more money, the president's grandson decided to make more crime-themed movies. These crime-themed movies became extremely popular. However, the humans in the simulation system paid a painful price for this. Because if you use this method to make crime movies, there will always be people committing crimes, leading to a high crime rate, right? In reality, I believe you Earthlings also feel the high crime rate in today's human society and the severity of criminal incidents. To increase the crime rate, the president's grandson, along with the film team, simulation system engineers, and economists, discussed various means to widen the existing wealth gap. This was actually a significant reason for the suffering of many Earthlings."
Mao Qi: "Is this true? Can you give some examples?"
Alien: "Even if you don't ask, to help you and Earthlings understand the truth, I will provide typical cases. You are Chinese, so to help you understand the truth, I will cite a case that occurred in China. Do you remember the Ma Jiajue case that happened at Yunnan University in China in 2004?"
Mao Qi: "Of course I remember; it was a sensational case nationwide at the time. Are you saying this case was manufactured by the film company of the president's grandson to shoot a crime movie? That's terrifying."
Alien: "Have you ever thought about it? Ma Jiajue and the several classmates he killed had no deep-seated hatred; in fact, one of the murdered classmates, Shao Ruijie, was his best friend. Just because of a quarrel over playing bridge, Ma Jiajue killed four of them. This is extremely unreasonable and would never happen under normal circumstances. It was just a quarrel over a card game; why would he kill them? Shao Ruijie and Ma Jiajue were still good friends, and there was even less reason to kill him over a trivial matter. Moreover, at that time, Ma Jiajue and his friends were about to graduate, and after graduation, they might never see each other again. It would have been better to endure a little. You are right; this murder case was orchestrated by the film company. The relevant film team randomly selected Yunnan University as the filming location. Then they screened the university's faculty and students and found that Ma Jiajue had some gene segments that easily led to impulsive and irritable behavior. In fact, Ma Jiajue was indeed an impulsive and irritable person. For such a person, using the subconscious control system to influence him and incite him to commit crimes would be very easy. The film team also discovered that Ma Jiajue's good friend, Shao Ruijie, was a person who liked to joke and often offended people with his jokes. Therefore, the film team targeted Ma Jiajue and Shao Ruijie. Starting from January 1, 2004, they used the subconscious control system to make Ma Jiajue feel that everyone in the world looked down on him and targeted him. However, Ma Jiajue was still a person with a sense of law; although the subconscious control system made his thinking increasingly extreme, he understood that breaking the law would have consequences. Moreover, he was about to graduate from university, and seeing that his family had supported him for so many years, he thought that after graduation, he could repay his family and improve their economic situation. Therefore, no matter what, he forced himself to endure. This made the film team anxious. After discussing, they believed that Ma Jiajue's psychological state had become extremely abnormal due to their manipulation. Now he was merely afraid of legal punishment, so they thought that if they made Ma Jiajue feel that Shao Ruijie's friendship was fake and let Shao Ruijie inadvertently offend Ma Jiajue, how could they worry that Ma Jiajue would not go down the path of crime? How could they worry that this crime movie would not be completed? So, they again used the subconscious control system to make Shao Ruijie become sharp-tongued, making him feel that Ma Jiajue was a person of poor character. The film team actively tracked and filmed these two individuals, waiting for the drama to unfold. Sure enough, on a day in early February 2004, Ma Jiajue and several students were playing cards. Due to the influence of the subconscious control system, Shao Ruijie had been looking at Ma Jiajue unfavorably during that time. Coupled with the fact that he was losing at cards and was in a bad mood, Shao Ruijie quarreled with Ma Jiajue. Ma Jiajue had already been driven to extreme mental instability by the subconscious control system, and with Shao Ruijie's extremely sharp words, Ma Jiajue completely broke down. Originally, quarreling over a card game is very common, and saying a few harsh words is not a big deal, but Ma Jiajue had been driven mad by the film team; he had lost his rationality and believed that everyone in the world looked down on him and was playing with him, even his best friend Shao Ruijie was the same. Thus, Ma Jiajue went into a rage. Originally, the film team intended to entice Ma Jiajue to kill Shao Ruijie to complete the filming of this crime movie. But Ma Jiajue completely went insane; he not only killed Shao Ruijie but also killed his classmates Tang Xueli, Gong Bo, and Yang Kaihong. A major tragedy occurred. The film team felt no guilt for Ma Jiajue's unexpected madness; on the contrary, they thought that Ma Jiajue's multiple murders made this crime movie even more exciting and would achieve good box office results. The film team celebrated with drinks at that time. After killing, Ma Jiajue fled, and the film team thought that filming the pursuit process would make the movie more thrilling, so they continued to track and film Ma Jiajue. The process of Ma Jiajue fleeing, the police's pursuit, his capture, and the execution process were all tracked and filmed by the film team. After Ma Jiajue's death, the film team edited these videos, dubbed them, because the language of Earthlings was created by them after being given high intelligence, and it has no connection to the language of Wisdom Star. They had to re-dub it. There were also some other post-production details that I won't elaborate on here. Three months after Ma Jiajue's death, this movie was released, titled 'Campus Storm: Crazy Slaughter.' The production cost of the movie was low, but the content was real and exciting. The performances of the characters in the movie were outstanding because they were all genuine reactions rather than acting. The movie became a huge hit and sparked a wave of university crime films. Subsequently, the film team, in order to further exploit Ma Jiajue's remaining value, also wrote related novels and published related comics. The film team made a lot of money. But Ma Jiajue met a tragic end, Shao Ruijie met a tragic end, Tang Xueli met a tragic end, Gong Bo met a tragic end, and Yang Kaihong met a tragic end. If it weren't for the film team's manipulation through the subconscious control system, this tragedy would never have occurred. The film team made money through unscrupulous means. They sacrificed the lives and dignity of these students in exchange for their wealth and fame. And no one would be held accountable for this because Earth and Earthlings are all simulated by the simulation system. Just like the simulated characters in your online games, no one would be sentenced for harming others in a game. Therefore, the film team felt justified in making this money. But for Ma Jiajue, for his family, and for those deceased students and their families, this is a tragedy within a tragedy!"
Mao Qi: "What other cruel things has this film company done?"
Alien: "Too many to count; I could talk for a hundred days and still not finish. For example, the Mexican drug trafficking group was created by a certain team from this film company to shoot a long-running TV series about drugs. Just think about how many people drugs have killed? How many innocent people have been killed by drug trafficking groups? Originally, this team intended to shoot a few dozen episodes, ending with the drug trafficking group being eradicated. But unexpectedly, this drug-themed TV series became extremely popular and turned into a long-running series. For the sake of ratings and financial interests, the team allowed the Mexican drug trafficking group to persist to this day, causing countless people to be directly or indirectly harmed by the drug trafficking group. There are also disaster movies; after the relevant film teams had related ideas, they applied to the film company, which then used the simulation system to trigger the disasters and plagues requested by the film teams. The film teams would then track and film everywhere, and the protagonists were, of course, pre-selected. They filmed what these protagonists did during disasters or plagues, edited, translated, and dubbed, completing a movie. But we all know that once disasters or plagues occur, people will die, and many major disasters and plagues can even result in a large number of casualties. This is truly a tragedy within a tragedy."
Mao Qi: "Can't this film company shoot some warm and romantic movies or TV series? Like love movies, inspirational movies, comedies, etc.?"
Alien: "Yes, I mentioned earlier that this film company has multiple film creation teams and produces several movies each year, including crime movies, love movies, inspirational movies, and comedies. Although this film company has caused immense suffering to many Earthlings, it has also allowed some Earthlings to benefit from shooting love movies, inspirational movies, and comedies. For example, many film teams have filmed numerous stories about poor boys marrying rich girls. To produce these movies, the relevant film teams would select some young people from poor families and use the subconscious control system to instill a sense of ambition and drive in these impoverished youths, making the selected rich girls fall in love with the poor boys, turning them into love-struck individuals. In the end, the poor boys succeed and marry the rich girls, leading to a happy ending. The same goes for inspirational movies and comedies. If the film company has harmed many people by making crime movies and disaster movies, these love and comedy movies have allowed a considerable portion of Earthlings to live happy lives. The current society of Earthlings has a dark and evil side, but also a bright and happy side. Everything is arranged by the film company."
Mao Qi: "I am shocked. Let me share my perspective. From the perspective of Earthlings, the actions of the film company are too cruel and terrifying. Although they have created many beautiful and warm stories to shoot love and comedy movies, for those selected to shoot crime movies, or for those innocently involved in the process of shooting crime movies, this is very painful. They could have lived peacefully, but the film company turned these people into madmen, making them fight and kill each other, which is an extremely immoral and terrifying act. I truly feel angry, but more than anger, I feel fear. I am afraid that I might also be selected as a character in a crime movie and become a victim. I am really scared. You have revealed this truth to me, and I am very afraid. If I tell this truth to others, I believe many people will be extremely panicked. What should we do?"
Alien: "We contacted you to help Earthlings, so please don't worry. There have always been many righteous and upright individuals on Wisdom Star who have condemned the moral decay of the relevant film companies. Especially many parents of students, who believe that these crime-themed movies will corrupt teenagers. Many parents whose children have committed crimes believe that these crime movies provide a very bad example for teenagers, enticing their children down the path of crime. Therefore, these parents organized a group called the 'Parents' Film Review Committee.' For convenience, I will refer to this group as the 'Parent Committee.' The members of this group also believe that those who have been influenced by the subconscious control system and have turned to crime are not willing to commit crimes; it is the film company that deliberately trapped them in the mire of crime for the sake of making movies. Therefore, the members of this group sympathize with Earthlings. Especially the parents I mentioned earlier, who are suffering because of their children’s crimes, are trying every means to help the people on Earth. I was once a member of the 'Parent Committee.' After various efforts, we contacted you, hoping you could assist us in rescuing those Earthlings harmed by the film company."
Mao Qi: "How can I help you? I have no ability; why did you choose me?"
Alien: "Don't worry; please listen patiently as I tell you the complete story. After the 'Parent Committee' was established, the members tried every means to protest against the film company for making crime movies that corrupt teenagers, wanting to limit the shooting of such movies. On the other hand, some members of the 'Parent Committee,' who were suffering from their children's crimes, proposed to rescue the humans in the simulation system who were being used as tools for filming. After years of protests and struggles, and after many years of patiently explaining to the public the dangers of crime movies and the suffering of those used as tools for filming, some people stood up to take action for justice. They were employees of the film company and programmers of the simulation system. They were not opposed to making movies but opposed to making movies that teach people to commit crimes, and they had witnessed many Earthlings suffering for the sake of making these movies. They believed that although Earthlings are simulated, they have developed a high level of intelligence, and they also have emotions and feelings. As a result, the 'Parent Committee' held speeches and demonstrations everywhere, and the programmers of the simulation system worked together, causing the film company considerable headaches. After the situation escalated, actors on Wisdom Star also began to take action because if the film company could make good movies using the simulation system, wouldn't that mean actors would be out of work? Under tremendous public pressure, the film company and the 'Parent Committee' negotiated. The film company promised to reduce the number of crime movies, hoping the 'Parent Committee' would not make things difficult for them. In response to this promise from the film company, a split occurred within the 'Parent Committee.' Some members believed that the film company had made concessions and that the matter should end there. These members later became known as the 'Reconciliation Faction.' However, other members believed that would they really honestly execute their verbal promise? Moreover, we cannot ignore the Earthlings suffering in the simulation platform; we should help them with love. These members later became known as the 'Compassion Faction.' The two factions had significant disagreements and even argued. Meanwhile, the film company dismissed many employees who supported the 'Parent Committee.' The president's grandson also used various connections to force many programmers who supported the 'Parent Committee' to resign. At the same time, he bribed members of the Reconciliation Faction and sent undercover agents into the 'Parent Committee' to become members, giving the Reconciliation Faction a numerical advantage. The Compassion Faction was left isolated and helpless. A large-scale movement was thus quelled. However, the members of the Compassion Faction did not give up. They independently formed a group called the 'Helping Humanity Association,' abbreviated as 'Help Association.' At that time, I was elected as the president of the Help Association. Without the support of the 'Parent Committee,' the Help Association was powerless, but we still mobilized members to give speeches, hoping to draw the attention of other Wisdom Star people to the Earthlings being tormented by the film company. Through our efforts, one day, several individuals claiming to be programmers of the simulation system secretly contacted us. They also believed that it was too much for the film company to torture Earthlings in the name of making movies. I held a meeting with them on March 1, 1980. At the meeting, they said they had a way to help Earthlings break free from the subconscious control system and liberate them from suffering. This method was something they had discovered by chance. At that time, the film company was preparing to shoot a detective-themed movie, originally planning for an unknown actress A to murder another famous actress B out of jealousy. The relevant film team had already used the subconscious control system to put actress A in an irritable and suspicious state. At that time, actress A suspected that her inability to become famous was due to actress B using despicable means, which was not true. However, actress A was under the influence of the subconscious control system and was already very abnormal. But just as actress A was planning to kill actress B, an unexpected situation occurred: actress A had recorded a song some time ago, which suddenly became popular, and she became famous overnight. After actress A became popular, the film team discovered that the subconscious control system had failed. Actress A not only did not kill actress B but actively befriended her and expanded her network..."
Mao Qi: "So, the film company cannot completely control everything about us, right?"
Alien: "Yes, that's correct. Since the humans in the simulation system are highly intelligent simulated beings, many of their actions are spontaneous and cannot be completely controlled by the film company. The film company only uses the subconscious control system to control relevant individuals' subconsciousness when necessary for filming. In many cases, human behaviors and events are spontaneous. For example, the previously mentioned actress A had the opportunity to record that song, and her success was entirely a spontaneous action by humans that the film team did not anticipate. Now, back to the main point. The film team discovered that once actress A became popular, the subconscious control system became ineffective on her. They consulted with the management personnel of the simulation system and the system engineers and found that when a person is admired by many, the subconscious control system fails. The system engineers held a technical seminar on this phenomenon and confirmed that it was indeed true. The mechanism behind this occurrence is determined by certain biological mechanisms and cannot be changed by modifying the program. Because once the program is modified, the biological mechanisms in the simulation system would conflict with other scientific mechanisms such as chemistry, leading to the collapse of the simulation system. Ultimately, the film team chose another actress C, who had long been unable to become famous in the entertainment industry, and used the subconscious control system to influence her, completing the filming of this detective movie. In other words, when a person is admired by many, the film company's subconscious control system becomes ineffective; this is a significant discovery. However, outsiders have always been unaware of this, and we in the 'Help Association' were also unaware. Fortunately, we encountered righteous programmers of the simulation system who informed us of this important news. They believed we could use this principle to help Earthlings break free from the subconscious control system, or at least reduce its influence on Earthlings to prevent major tragedies. They also said we could select a person from the simulation system to implement the rescue plan. After discussions, with the film company unaware, we began to try to contact Earthlings with the help of these programmers. We first attempted to contact people from developed Western countries, but those we reached out to either firmly disbelieved us or refused to help out of fear of trouble. One young man said he was willing to believe us, but he did not want to stir up trouble; he wanted to become a director in the future and would use what we told him as inspiration to make a movie. Since people from developed countries did not want to stir up trouble, we then tried to contact people from Africa, but they could not understand what we were saying and did not trust us. The only way we could contact Earthlings was through backdoors opened by those righteous programmers, and those programmers themselves were taking great risks. If discovered, they would be blacklisted from the industry and would have to change careers. However, all of us, driven by the belief of helping Earthlings, were not afraid. After some twists and turns, on October 25, 1981, we finally found a sixty-year-old man in China who was willing to believe us. His name was 'Chen Xiaoming.' He established a small group called the 'Help Association.' Through his efforts and persuasion, by 1983, this group had grown to 30 members. They carried out activities according to the rescue plan we devised for Earthlings. The activities were as follows: they found a larger house, and one of the members lived alone in that house, which had a certain area. So, the activities were conducted in this member's home. During the activities, they placed a chair in the center of the living room, and all members would surround the chair, taking turns sitting on it for one minute. During the minute that each member sat on the chair, all other members would enthusiastically applaud and praise him as a hero, praising him for being remarkable. Of course, during this process, one member was responsible for timing to ensure that each member had a chance to sit on the chair for one minute. Once all members had completed their turns, the member responsible for timing would sit on the chair, and the others would also applaud and praise him. We called this activity 'Help Association Ceremony.'"
Mao Qi: "Why hold such a ceremony?"
Alien: "This is not a ceremony; it is a method we derived after multiple discussions with those programmers to help Earthlings break free from the subconscious control system as much as possible. Earlier, we mentioned that a certain actress who was originally controlled by the subconscious control system managed to break free after suddenly becoming popular. The admiration she received gave her confidence and pride, allowing her to escape the influence of the subconscious control system. This was analyzed and researched by those righteous programmers. They also found some similar cases that sufficiently proved that when a person is admired and gains confidence and pride, they can basically break free from the influence of the subconscious control system. Moreover, these programmers theoretically proved that this effect cannot be changed because it is based on profound chemical and biological foundations. The simulation system itself was constructed based on chemical and biological principles. To change this effect, the code of the simulation system would have to be completely rewritten, which is an extremely complex and tedious task and is thankless. Therefore, the film company cannot change this effect. We can fully utilize this effect to try to break free from the influence of the subconscious control system."
Mao Qi: "Is this ceremony similar to worship activities in major religions?"
Alien: "Completely different. Worship activities in major religions involve worshiping deities. We worship every member of the Help Association; each member is receiving admiration, and every member is receiving respect from everyone."
Mao Qi: "There are also similar activities among the followers of major religions, such as mutual blessings and prayers."
Alien: "The blessings and prayers among these religious followers are completely different from worship. The deities they worship are always their gods. Moreover, these religious followers generally believe they have 'karmic obstacles,' 'retribution,' 'guilt,' etc., and they are in a state of inferiority. But we want to tell everyone that since Earth has been taken over by the film company, every Earthling has directly or indirectly contributed to the films. Many Earthlings have even become movie stars, but they are famous on Wisdom Star without knowing it. Since everyone is a star, why shouldn't they receive admiration? Everyone has contributed to the film industry and is a hero in the film industry, so why shouldn't they be respected? Therefore, the admiration received during the Help Association Ceremony is deserved and earned. You Earthlings are all heroes and stars."
Mao Qi: "According to your theory, many stars in the entertainment industry have a large number of fans. Can they all escape the influence of the subconscious control system?"
Alien: "We have long studied this issue. We found that if a person engages in smoking, drug use, or alcoholism, even if they have many admirers, it is difficult to help them escape the subconscious control system. Tobacco, drugs, alcohol, or other stimulants can alter the brain's structure, making it easier for the subconscious control system to take control. Of course, for smoking or alcoholism, the effects of tobacco and alcohol on the human brain are relatively limited. We have already proven that alcoholics can escape the influence of the subconscious control system after abstaining from alcohol for three months, and smokers can do the same after abstaining from smoking for three months. The effects will be the same as for ordinary people. However, once someone becomes addicted to drugs, it greatly alters their brain structure, making it nearly impossible for drug users to escape the influence of the subconscious control system. You just asked if all stars can escape the influence of the subconscious control system. The answer is that as long as a star has a certain number of fans and does not smoke, drink, or use drugs, they will generally not be affected by the subconscious control system."
Mao Qi: "What about many ancient emperors and modern heads of state? They also have many admirers. Are they also not affected by the subconscious control system? If so, wouldn't that mean the film company cannot influence the politics of various countries on Earth and thus cannot shoot political or war-themed films?"
Alien: "Not at all. The film company has produced many political and war-themed movies and TV series. Although emperors and heads of state have many admirers, on one hand, many of these emperors and heads of state have issues with alcoholism or drug use. Don't think that there were no drugs in ancient times; they existed, just not as potent as modern drugs. As we mentioned earlier, if a person is an alcoholic or uses drugs, even if they have many admirers, they cannot escape the control of the subconscious control system. On the other hand, to disrupt a country, it is not necessary to control the highest ruler of that country; controlling the confidants of the highest ruler, officials under their rule, and a certain number of the populace through the subconscious control system can also lead to chaos."
Mao Qi: "Did you observe and study the effects of this during the Help Association? Did the participants in the Help Association escape the influence of the subconscious control system?"
Alien: "We took the opportunity to observe for several years, and the results fully confirmed the effectiveness of this method. Many who were originally assigned tragic endings successfully changed their fates because of this method. However, we also discovered that this Help Association Ceremony had almost no effect on homosexuals. Although it is regrettable, all treatments have their applicable scope. We can only regretfully say that the method we used in the Help Association Ceremony can help ordinary people escape the influence of the subconscious control system but cannot help homosexuals. Fortunately, the film company produces very few films on homosexual themes on Wisdom Star, so homosexuals do not need to worry about this issue."
Mao Qi: "I have heard that the orientation of homosexuals and transgender individuals is caused by genes. So, can't your gene modification technology on Wisdom Star change their orientation?"
Alien: "The brains of homosexuals and transgender individuals are different from those of ordinary people. Therefore, their sexual orientation differs from that of ordinary people. However, this is not caused by genes but rather by cultural influences on the brain. Although the medical technology on Wisdom Star can change their brain structure, there are risks associated with such surgeries. No matter how advanced the technology is, there are always risks. Moreover, since the horrific human experimentation incident years ago, hospitals and doctors have been afraid to alter others' brains against their will, as this would not only be illegal but also evoke the historical trauma of that incident, the consequences of which no one can bear. Generally, homosexuals and transgender individuals are reluctant to undergo such neurosurgeries, so it has to be abandoned. However, the laws on Wisdom Star still consider homosexuality and transgenderism illegal."
Mao Qi: "Will the film company use the subconscious control system to change a person's sexual orientation?"
Alien: "No, because the subconscious control system cannot change a person's sexual orientation. Moreover, due to the existence of certain cultures, homosexuals and transgender individuals have always existed. Therefore, even if the film company wants to make such movies, they will not have trouble finding people."
Mao Qi: "What is the view of the Parent Committee and Help Association on homosexuals and transgender individuals?"
Alien: "Our attitude is 'do not attack, do not offend, do not promote.' We do not want to offend anyone or conflict with any group, but we also will not promote their culture."
Mao Qi: "Can you explain the entire principle of this method?"
Alien: "I cannot. Humans have indeed developed a certain level of technology. However, humans may not be able to use this technology wisely, especially since the film company is currently trying every means to undermine the moral fabric of human society to make crime-themed movies. This makes it even more difficult for humans to use technology correctly without committing crimes. Therefore, if we tell you the principles, not to mention whether humans can understand them with their current technology, if someone uses these principles for improper purposes, we would indirectly be doing something wrong, which is something we do not wish to see."
Mao Qi: "So, using this method, the mutual admiration among members differs from the admiration fans have for stars. Will the effects be the same?"
Alien: "Of course, there is a difference in effectiveness. However, if there is a person who has good relationships with other members and is liked by everyone, then during this 'Help Association Ceremony,' the effect will be particularly good. As for how to build good relationships with other members, each member needs to think for themselves. To achieve good results with this method, we must understand this principle: after Earth has been controlled by the film company, all Earthlings have contributed to the film company; they have dedicated everything to the film industry, so all Earthlings are big stars and remarkable. Earthlings are all heroes in the film industry. Therefore, praising humanity and Earthlings is appropriate. Back to the main point, after Chen Xiaoming established this 'Help Association' group based on our instructions, the effect was excellent. The number of members once grew to over 100. To make better use of time during the ceremony, Chen Xiaoming and a few other members decided to place two or even three chairs in the center of the living room so that two to three members could receive admiration simultaneously. Of course, this was not a hard rule; they adjusted based on the situation. Just as this group was thriving, an unexpected incident occurred. One person who joined the Help Association was a long-term drug user who wanted to quit drugs and hoped the Help Association could provide assistance. However, the temptation of drugs was too great for him to control. As a result, during one Help Association activity, he experienced a drug craving and excused himself to go to the bathroom, where he used drugs and ultimately died from an overdose. After this incident, law enforcement apprehended Chen Xiaoming and the others, and the 'Help Association' group had to disband. Meanwhile, on Wisdom Star, we also encountered trouble; the actions of those righteous programmers who helped us were exposed. The film company arrested us on charges of disrupting operations and espionage. We were sentenced to life imprisonment. Originally, we were to spend the rest of our lives in prison. However, after thirty years in prison, the situation changed. The president of Warrior Nation was ousted due to a corruption scandal, and some important members of the Parent Committee were elected as congressmen through democratic elections. They pressured the film company in Congress. However, after so many years of development in the film industry, the president's grandson had become a film mogul and had significant influence in Congress. However, he was also implicated in his grandfather's corruption issues. The Parent Committee negotiated with him, expressing their willingness to help him pass through Congress without delving into his issues, but he had to agree to three conditions: First, at least 40% of the movies and TV series produced by the film company must have positive, just, and bright themes. Second, the selection of actors for these positive and just movies, including both leading and supporting roles, must be jointly researched and decided by the Parent Committee and relevant film groups. Third, the members of the Help Association must be released, and their indulgence of homosexuality and drug use will not be pursued, but the members of the Help Association must ensure that they will not harbor homosexuals or allow others to use drugs in the future. Fourth, if the Help Association wishes to establish an organization on Earth in the future, they must abide by the law and not obstruct anyone who wishes to report to the police, nor interfere with police work. After both parties signed the relevant documents and formally reached an agreement, we were released from prison."
Mao Qi: "Why did the Parent Committee want to save this president's grandson? He should be imprisoned too."
Alien: "If this president's grandson were imprisoned, there could be three potential changes on Earth. The first possibility is that this grandson's deputy would take over the film company, but this deputy is very perverse and enjoys watching extremely twisted movies. If he were to take over the film company, the number of perverse cases on Earth would surge, leading to more victims. The second possibility is that another film company ranked second would take over, and this company prefers to make violent crime movies, producing extremely bloody and violent films. If they took over, there would be rivers of blood on Earth every day. The third possibility is that a pharmaceutical company would take over, and the terrifying experiments they conduct would be even worse. Therefore, letting the president's grandson avoid prison was a last resort."
