Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, but found no sound. She looked back and saw that the hole in the roof was dark, as if a mouth had been cut out of the building, about to let out a sigh.
...Former Evolutionary? Not now?
The man downstairs spoke again.
He probably knew that his audience must not know what to say at this moment, so he just whispered: "I remember that abilities and items with spiritual power were the first to fail. Then, other types
The evolutionary abilities and items...Physical enhancement fades the slowest and lasts the longest. I tried my best to register my identity before all my abilities disappeared, and I became legal. As for now
Well...if someone uses their evolutionary ability near me, I can still vaguely feel it, and my five senses are quite sharp. If I compete with ordinary people in a speed contest, I can usually win."
I can understand every word, but putting them together is so unrealistic.
For a moment, Lin Sanjiu had countless questions swirling around in her mind, trying to rush out of her mouth, but her heart suddenly jumped and she just asked: "Since you know I'm here, why didn't you sound the alarm?"
"There is no use in warning." The man did not raise his voice, but it fell clearly in the ears of the evolutionaries. "The security personnel are just ordinary people. They will not gain anything from you. Instead, you are calling them
Die in vain."
Lin Sanjiu was about to open her mouth to say that she would not kill people casually. She thought for a moment, but swallowed it back. After a while, the alarm system inside the museum will be triggered by the falling manhole cover. This is not the place to talk—
—Until she confirms that the person coming has no ill intentions and her own safety can be guaranteed, she might as well let him think that she doesn't care about human life just like most evolved people.
"It seems that you have been among ordinary people for a long time," she said coldly, "your heart has become so soft, and you are still worried about the life and death of others."
"You don't understand," the man's tone was full of helplessness as he wanted to explain but couldn't find the right words to explain, "The death of a person is really a big deal in modern society. It doesn't mean that someone will be brought down by death..."
"What do you want?" Since this man has no ability to evolve, he still wants to take the risk and confront the evolver. He obviously has a purpose.
"I know why you stole those special items. To be honest, if I had just come to this world and saw special items appearing in the museum, I would also steal them. But you also know now that they are harmful to evolvers.
Say, it has no effect at all."
The man still stood close to the root of the building, sighed, and said: "However, to me, they have a different meaning. If you take them away tonight, I, the security captain, will
I'm going to be in bad luck. Do you think that as a former evolutionizer with no professional skills, no educational experience, and even the ability to evolve, it is easy to find a job here? I really can't lose this
In their eyes, I am already a job seeker, and it will be too difficult to find another job."
...Lin Sanjiu never thought about this.
It seems that she has been immersed in the apocalyptic world for too long - for an evolved person, every bite of food and every bed he earns is to rely on his own strength to fight against others and the world.
Snatch it and grab it bit by bit. Although it is sometimes miserable, it also gives the evolver a clear sense of control: she has the right to decide her own body. Anyone who wants to interfere must either defeat her.
Either have to kill her.
Her livelihood was so dependent on something outside her control... She almost forgot what it felt like.
"My proposal is very simple." When she was lost in thought, the man continued, "It's useless for you to take those wastes, why not return them to me and keep my job... If I handle the situation well
, maybe you can even get a bonus. And as for you, no matter what information you need to know, as long as I know it, I can tell you everything."
Lin Sanjiu looked at the card in her hand. When she first decided to rob the museum, she just wanted to discover some information. Collecting a few more special items would be extra; since they are all unusable, as far as she is concerned
, might as well exchange it for some news about this world.
"How do I know what you tell me will be the truth?" She still didn't dare to rest assured.
The man sighed again, as if he had a headache. "I didn't realize until now that evolutionists are a difficult group of people to deal with..." He muttered in a low voice, "Why should I lie about the news about this world?
Ah? I have been holding my inferences about this world for more than three years. I am happy to be able to tell you about it. Besides, I am no different from an ordinary person now. I can live a peaceful life every day.
If I cheat you to death, what good will it do to me?"
As he talked, he started to complain: "Evolutionaries are like this. They don't have any basic trust in people. This can no longer be explained by caution. To put it bluntly, there is no logic at all. They are just suspicious and follow-up.
It's like a mental illness. If you don't live in modern society for a few years, you won't realize how serious your problem is."
"...You yourself have been like this before, right?"
The man paused and admitted from the bottom of the building: "That's right."
"But I can't stay here for a long time -" Now that she stayed for a few more minutes, she had already taken a big risk. Before Lin Sanjiu could finish her words, the security captain interrupted her: "I know, you
Leave your stuff to me and I’ll give you my phone.”
"Um?"
"You can go wherever you want, I don't ask. When I get free time tomorrow, I will make a call on my own mobile phone. If you receive a call with the caller ID showing 'Baby Wife', that's what I'm calling."
your."
Lin Sanjiu was silent for a long while, digesting the information in her stomach. "You, are you married?"
"Introduced by the company leader," the man seemed a little shy, "We just got married six months ago."
Was this person really an evolver? Lin Sanjiu was almost in a trance, and responded in a daze: "Then... okay. Throw the phone up first, oh, by the way, and yours too.
Work ID.”
There is actually no reason to suspect that the other party may not be the security captain - this is a museum at three in the morning, and apart from the security personnel inside the museum, the chance of outsiders showing up here is really very small. As soon as the words came out, she herself
I also realized that I did have some of the almost unreasonable paranoia and suspicion of an evolved person.
"This..." The man took a breath and seemed to find it difficult to say. "The building is very high, I'm afraid I won't be able to throw it..."
Lin Sanjiu looked down from the edge of the roof - although the two had been talking to each other for a while, she now really saw each other for the first time: there was a black head under the wall, and a body standing on the grass.
Wearing a uniform; just by glancing at him like this, she could detect the feeling of weakness and fatigue in the other person's body after the strength passed away.
"Is this also called high?" She looked at the height and was really surprised. "I'm not asking you to jump up. Forget it, you just have to throw it into the air."
The man didn't say much after hearing this, and took off a work ID from his neck. After making sure that he could get the ID back, he tied his mobile phone with the belt of his work ID, raised his hand and threw it into the sky.
Lin Sanjiu's consciousness was like a frog's tongue, flashing in mid-air and catching his prey.
"Hanjun," she looked at the name on the certificate. The photo showed a very down-to-earth, round face, smiling at the camera. The phone looked like it was commonly used, and the most recently opened software was a fruit-cutting game.
There are more than two hundred names in the contact list - there is no doubt that this pre-evolved person named Han Jun has successfully established a new life in this world.
The six special items from his predecessor that were now useless and could not even exert any effect were thrown down one by one by Lin Sanjiu. Han Jun hurriedly caught these items from underneath.
From time to time, he would exclaim "Huh? This was a special item before?" when he put the things away, and said in a sincere tone: "Thank you, I know you can just walk away."
…This time, my job is saved.”
Lin Sanjiu felt a little embarrassed. She looked back and didn't mention that she had opened a big hole in the roof. She just coughed: "Then I'm leaving. I'll contact you tomorrow."
When leaving the museum, she used the same method: she was like a big bird, facing the wind, stepping on the night, and crossing the sky - she could feel Han Jun's eyes staying on her blankly
, until he can no longer see. Once upon a time, this was something he could easily do, but now he can only stand on the ground and look up.
Since the suspicion was confirmed, Lin Sanjiu has not really thought about it. Sometimes when people first hear some important news, they have to put it to air and wait until their emotions calm down before they can face it - she
This was it now. After leaving the museum, she had no place to go for a while, and she couldn't spare her mind to think about where to go; she wandered aimlessly a few streets away for a while, and finally stopped in a daze.
He came down and looked at his hands in a daze.
Han Jun has been here for more than three years and has not been teleported away, but the world has always been running smoothly like this...
That is to say, the "end of the world" in the normal sense will never come? The magician Anida, the leader, the mental patient... may all gradually disappear in this world.
Evolver?
Isn't this a good thing? For any evolver, it is a dream and good thing to be able to get rid of the days of near death in the doomsday and return to a safe and stable society.
