Another day was over. On the way back, Xing Mengmeng asked worriedly: "Are you really sick?"
Jin Yuan was looking through the book Tian Yu gave him, seeming fascinated.
"Hello? Am I talking to you?"
Jin Yuan then closed the book and asked: "Mengmeng, who do you think...our enemy...is?"
The sudden question confused Xing Mengmeng.
"Aren't they those intruders?"
Kanehara shook his head: "'Intruders' are certainly hateful and a major hidden danger, but as we speculated before, whether it is our boss or 'First Sister', they have actually known about the existence of these people for a long time.
But... they didn't rush to drive them out, but chose to wait and see what happens... From this point of view... don't you think it's strange?"
After Xing Mengmeng thought about it, she frowned and said, "I don't think there's anything strange about it. It's just that I don't want to alert others, and I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately like the original arbiter... Oh... I'm sorry..."
Using the word "killing innocent people indiscriminately" to describe the former arbiter is actually not too much.
Kanehara knows this best.
"It's okay. The former arbiter was indeed not a teacher of justice... The two points you mentioned are also under my consideration... But recently, from this Tian Yu and the book he gave me,
I feel...our enemies have never been these people."
Xing Mengmeng was stunned and asked curiously: "Who is that?"
"It's all the 'causes' and the 'results' that will be produced..." Jin Yuan patted the book in his hand.
"Cause...effect...don't you mean 'factor'?"
Kanehara shook his head: "That's different... In the past, my impression of the factor was almost equivalent to the feeling of the core... But now I understand that the factor is something concrete, and its essence is the inner order of all this.
, it is a law belonging to God that us mortals can never transcend."
Jin Yuan's tone was serious, but Xing Mengmeng felt that he was saying something incomprehensible.
"Do you believe in the existence of God?"
"No, but I believe there is an inner order to all of this."
"for example?"
"Like our thoughts."
"Thought?"
"Yes, thought." Kanehara said, opening the book in his hand, and then found a sentence and read: "Humanism, socialism, liberalism, and even fascism are all embodied states of thought, but regardless of the above
None of them can really help the community with a shared future for mankind rise to a new platform. We will still perish...destined and irreversible."
Jin Yuan read very slowly. After he finished reading, he looked at Xing Mengmeng and said: "No matter how powerful the alien species is, it is just a specific existence. The law of the jungle is a clear hostile relationship, but these...these are invisible
The enemy is the most troublesome."
Xing Mengmeng expressed doubts: "Do you believe these words?"
Kanehara: "To be exact, I don't want to believe it, because these words are too absolute, but there is one thing you and I must admit..."
"What?"
"Our ancestors, those ancestors of the earth, they paid a high price to get where we are today."
Xing Mengmeng was silent. Of course she understood what Jin Yuan meant, but...it was just that those words before were really discouraging.
Seeing Xing Mengmeng's silence, Jin Yuan smiled and leaned over and said, "Oh my wife, I'm just saying casually. We are people living in the present. If some things are destined, we can only accept our fate, right?"
Xing Mengmeng couldn’t laugh
, she asked after being silent for a while: "If everything is really destined, then what are we doing now?"
Jin Yuan was stunned by the question, and his smile gradually became stiff and awkward, but then he said: "Destiny is destiny, and man's destiny is another matter. After all, fate bullies the weak and fears the strong. If we don't do anything now
If you do, you will only be bullied."
After hearing this, Xing Mengmeng finally smiled again, and she asked: "Then... what are you going to do next?"
Jin Yuan thought for a while and then said: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I already have some ideas, it just takes some time."
"Oh? Do you want to tell me and let me give you some advice?"
Jin Yuan chuckled: "I won't bother you to make a fuss for the time being. During this time, you can just relax and relax. As for me, just be my patient. Isn't it the best if everyone stays in peace?"
Xing Mengmeng curled her lips when she heard this, rolled her eyes at Jin Yuan and said, "Can I relax while accompanying you to see a doctor every day?"
Kanehara raised an eyebrow: "You can send me there first, and then invite your good sisters to go out to play. Anyway, this is not an operation and does not require family members to accompany you."
Xing Mengmeng glanced sideways at Jin Yuan and said "Oh~~~" meaningfully.
Kanehara chuckled: "No, I'm not gay, so I won't see Dr. Ueda."
"cut……"
Jin Yuan laughed, hugged Xing Mengmeng and gave her a big kiss. Then Xing Mengmeng punched her so hard that she almost ended up in the hospital.
——
While the young couple was having fun with each other here, Zheng Zhiwei was also listening to reports from his subordinates.
"They have been maintaining a two-point and one-line status recently, with no additional outings and no attempts to invade the central core."
Zheng Zhiwei hummed, then looked at the holographic image aside.
The effect has been muted, but you can still observe every move of the people in the room.
"Continue to monitor and don't let up for a moment."
"yes."
——
It was early morning on January 18, 150.
Lou Yuxiao had just gotten up when she heard a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw it was Concubine Wan Xiao.
Her face looked very bad, there were wounds on her arms, and she looked a little embarrassed.
Lou Yuxiao quickly let her in, and at the same time looked outside the door to make sure no one was following her, and then closed the door.
When she returned to the house, Concubine Wan Xiao had already taken off her shirt.
The damage to the mechanical prosthesis is more severe than previously seen.
Lou Yuxiao immediately opened the underground entrance hidden beside the bed, and then helped Wan Xiaofei into the underground restoration center.
This is also Lou Yuxiao’s equipment integration base.
After Concubine Wan Xiao was placed on the repair table, Lou Yuxiao started the repair device and exited the basement.
About an hour passed.
Lou Yuxiao, who came back from buying breakfast, found that Concubine Wan Xiao was already taking a bath.
Although she is a mechanical prosthesis, Concubine Wan Xiao still loves to be clean.
…
"Has Su An arranged for you to get in touch with the core experimental content recently?" Although Concubine Wan Xiao didn't need to eat, she still picked up a glass of milk and drank it.
Lou Yuxiao is a new human being who has received genetic enhancement. Although her body is much stronger than ordinary people, she still needs to eat.
"No, he always stays alone recently and doesn't allow anyone to enter his laboratory."
"Oh? Stay alone? Are you sure you are alone?"
Lou Yuxiao put down his chopsticks and said, "Well, I was present for the last few contacts between him and Chu Yunlan, and
None of this is in a lab."
After hearing this, Concubine Wan Xiao smiled coldly: "This prison is very comfortable... I can even come out for a walk occasionally..."
Lou Yuxiao: "I have saved the recordings of their conversations separately. Do you want to listen to them now?"
Concubine Wan Xiao shook her head: "If there is anything valuable, just write it down and report it to the boss."
Lou Yuxiao was a little surprised, but still nodded.
"Okay, thank you for the hospitality." Concubine Wan Xiao said as she stood up and looked at the clothes on the bed.
Lou Yuxiao: "You can choose whatever you want in the closet."
Concubine Wan Xiao was not polite, she found a neutral sports coat, put it on and left.
When she opened the door, she reminded him: "It's not peaceful outside recently. You'd better remind him not to run around."
"OK."
…
After Concubine Wan Xiao left, Lou Yuxiao also changed her clothes and went out.
She had a day off today and didn't have to go to the laboratory, so she didn't change into a formal combat set, but chose a more casual sports set.
Although these civilian-grade assemblies do not contain weapons, they are still sufficient to deal with some unexpected battles.
Lou Yuxiao arrived at the garage and got in the car, then marked the coordinates at Xiaoyu Street Pavilion, which was also the place where Su An went most often.
It was already noon when we arrived at our destination.
The fa306 area where Xiaoyu Street Pavilion is located is always shrouded in drizzle.
When Lou Yuxiao entered the store, there were not many people in the store, so Lou Yuxiao walked to the seat where Su An usually sat and sat down.
As for why...
Lou Yuxiao didn't know, maybe she wanted to sit here and look at the scenery that Chu Yunlan liked.
After sitting down, the waiter came over to serve tea and presented a very traditional paper menu.
This kind of thing is really rare, but it is a trend that has become popular again nowadays.
Many places are trying to drive artificial intelligence out of their lives and want to take back the things that were originally taken care of by smart butlers to make up for their wasted time.
The same goes for Lou Yuxiao who is sitting here now.
She turned off the listening mind in her body, thinking about nothing, not paying attention to anything, and just peacefully enjoyed tea, snacks and the sound of rain outside the window.
Stretching out his hand to catch the rain falling from the eaves, Lou Yuxiao opened the conversation collected here a few days ago.
…
"What do you think happiness is?" Chu Yunlan asked.
"Happiness?" Su An was a little confused.
"right."
"I'm not sure what kind of happiness you mean."
"There is no one aspect, to be precise, it includes all of this... We choose to sit here today, drink tea and eat snacks, and we don't have to think about what we will face tomorrow. This feeling of emptiness
, all included.”
Su An didn't have such detailed thoughts, but he understood what Chu Yunlan meant...or rather...this stranger's thoughts...
"Thinking is a very hard thing...I think being in a daze is very happy."
"Haha, right? It seems you have understood it."
"Um."
"But...I can't stop thinking now."
"Why?"
"Because... uh... because..." Su An lowered his head, the glass in front of him sparkling with flowers.
"Because of responsibility."
"responsibility?"
"Why responsibility? What kind of responsibility?"
"There's no reason, right? It always feels weird to ask this question..."
