readx;? Gu Hanhan fled in the wilderness, almost burning his ass and letting the airship rise into the air. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [mobile phone, tablet to read novels, please visit m. directly, update faster, more traffic-saving] == novel. I didn't shout to eat the meal, I didn't sleep anymore, and I was full of energy to discuss the next itinerary with Zheng Wenwen. Under Gu Hanhan's strong recommendation, in the end, they decided to visit the Moro River first. Because there is also a time difference of about three hours between the Duile district of the International Embassy on the left bank of the Moro River and the Olympia of the Sacred Mountain, now that the Olympic Games and the Acropolis are close to noon, the sun is scorching, but the Duile is still cool in the morning, which is suitable for walking tours and viewing the palaces of all nations.
Swimming on the Moro River, they boarded the boat from the pier west of Torini. Here, Gu Hanhan insisted on throwing all his entourage away and taking a passenger cruise like an ordinary tourist. It's still early summer, the rangers are long gone, most of the superpowered nobles have returned to their families' territories after the social season, there are not many wealthy businessmen and politicians who come to the Beacon Star to try their luck, and even the tourism industry with the entire Vault Dweller system has entered the off-season. The docks were not crowded, and they easily bought tickets for the cruise and found two seats on the deck with a great view.
The boat goes down the river, and the river breeze is blowing, bringing picturesque scenery on both sides of the river. The □□ o'clock sun shone on their heads, and their faces were warm, which made people cheer up and give birth to infinite vitality. Halfway through the boat and stopped at the ferry port in the Tuile district, they disembarked and went to visit the Palais des Nations. Wander through the different buildings and take photos with the soldiers guarding the embassies with the flags of each country. They were in high spirits, full of energy, laughing and laughing, and took a lot of photos along the way. Gu Hanhan felt that her lost girlhood had come back all of a sudden, and it was really good to be young at the age of eighteen.
They wandered around the palace complex with the flags of all nations flying for three or four hours, until they were too tired to walk. Gu Hanhan suggested that they take a break at the open-air restaurant by the river, eat something, bask in the sun, or sleep a little more before continuing to take a boat to the Tiber Gladiatorial on the Lower East Side to watch the duel.
"I know there's an open-air café that tastes good," she said, "just across the river, not far away, and I'll take you!"
Gu Hanhan beckoned a bee plane to and from the river to carry passengers to and from the river, and took them to an open-air café with a business sign on the other side of the river. The café is not big, with only a dozen or so tables, lined up along the river. The table top is covered with a striped tablecloth and a large parasol in the center, and it is very leisurely for tourists to sit at the table and rest and eat. The two found an empty table and sat down, Zheng Wenwen picked up the water card on the table, and found that it was just some ordinary dishes and drinks.
It was early afternoon, the guests were scrambling, but there was only one waiter in the café, in addition to ordering and serving, he also had to be the cashier, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground. After a while, it was their turn to be at the table, but the waiter was very enthusiastic, and greeted Gu Hanhan with a smile: "Miss Gu is here, what do you need today?"
Gu Hanhan nodded like a waiter and said, "As before, a meat sauce noodle and a cup of Moro Love." ”
Zheng Wenwen couldn't see anything on the menu, so she also said, "I'm just like her." ”
The waiter smiled: "Miss has a good eye, these two are the signs of our store." ”
The waiter wrote the menu and left, and it didn't take long for him to bring two servings of noodles topped with bolognese sauce and two cups of coffee with blue flames dancing on the surface. One of the plates was obviously topped, and the meat sauce was half more, and the juice was golden and exuded an enticing aroma. The waiter deliberately put the extra portion of meat in front of Gu Hanhan and said, "The boss said that you love meat, so I made it for you." There were still a few dishes waiting in the kitchen, and he said that he would come out to greet the young lady when he was done. ”
After the waiter left, Zheng Wenwen picked up a noodle and tasted it, the taste was very ordinary, and she picked Gu Hanhan's plate with more meat sauce to taste, but it didn't taste good. But Gu Hanhan ate seriously, and sometimes stopped to drink a few sips of coffee and reminisce, as if he had enjoyed some delicious meal and was about to cry. Zheng Wenwen also took a sip of coffee, sweet and greasy with the smell of wine, weird and weird, and not delicious?!So Zheng Wenwen was a little strange - she and Gu Hanhan liked to eat similar food on the earth before, why did she only be in the Beacon Star for a year, and her taste changed so much?
"Are you an acquaintance of the boss here?" asked Zheng Wenwen while playing with the noodles rolled with a fork.
"It's an acquaintance," Gu Hanhan replied, "he's a patient in our laboratory's partner hospital." I had a little mental problem before, and it is said that it was because my wife and children suffered misfortunes one after another, and they were stimulated too much to have a psychological breakdown, and the treatment was ineffective for a long time. Later, we thought of a way to find a hypnotic superpower, and finally cured him. ”
Zheng Wenwen was very curious when she heard it: "What is the superpower of the hypnotic system, can it cure diseases like you?" I thought that superpowers were all about the same, they could carry the tripod with one hand, and they could break stone tablets with one hand, and they were ...... like that."
Gu Hanhan smiled: "Of course, it can cure the disease." There is no other disease, at least it can cure mental illness. The ability of this department, how to say, it can affect the perception of the human brain, change the memory and even manipulate a person's thinking is very easy for them, and it can be done easily. So as long as he erases that unfortunate memory, re-forges a good experience and puts it in his head, his psychological breakdown will naturally be good?"
Zheng Wenwen was stunned when she heard this: "Is this okay?"
"But that doesn't cure him, does it?" she thought for a moment, "it's a fake memory, his recovery is only based on false illusions, and in fact he's still a psychopath!"
"So what," Gu Hanhan smiled, "Whether it's real or fantasy, as long as he can live positively and treat each day optimistically, instead of anesthetizing and rotting in alcohol all day long in the pain of self-blame, isn't it enough?"
"I really like his bolognese noodles and I come over every once in a while to eat them," she said. ”
While he was talking, the owner of the open-air café finished cooking the dishes that the guests were waiting for came out. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a cleanly shaved beard on his chin and neatly groomed hair. The sleeves of his crisp white chef's uniform were folded a few times, and his apron was just untied from his waist and held it in his hand. With a warm and cheerful smile on his face, he greeted Gu Hanhan from afar: "Good afternoon, Miss Gu, I'm here to bask in the sun again today." ”
"Good afternoon, Mr. Taufent," Gu Hanhan replied with a smile, "How are you late?" ”
She specially introduced Zheng Wenwen to him and said: "This is my good friend on Earth, I grew up together, I came to Lighthouse Star to travel, and I accompanied her to walk on the Moro River." ”
"Ah, Miss from Earth, this is an honorable guest, are we still used to eating things here?"
"Where, we love to eat very much," Gu Hanhan said, "I can't eat for a long time, and I have to miss it." ”
The enthusiastic Mr. Tauffin exchanged pleasantries with them, talked a little more about the scenery on the Moro River, and then went back to the kitchen when a new guest ordered.
Gu Hanhan finished eating noodles, settled the bill with the waiter, and then walked with Zheng Wenwen to the ferry to take a boat.
Zheng Wenwen has been thinking about the hypnotic ability that Gu Hanhan said just now, and when she was waiting for the boat at the ferry, she sighed: "The ability of this hypnotic system is really powerful, he, it can change people's memories and control people's thoughts, it's like a god!"
"Hanhan, how much is a person with this ability," she asked.
"Many, there can always be a hundred and eighty thousand, but there are not many high-level ones, only a few hundred, and it's hard to say whether it can be thousands. ”
Zheng Wenwen gasped: "One hundred and eighty thousand is not much?"
"The whole universe is not referring to the lighthouse star," Gu Hanhan emphasized, "The registered population of the whole universe is 3 trillion, and the actual total population may exceed 5 trillion, and 100,000 people are not even 0.2 per 100 billion of the total population!"
"That's a lot!" Zheng Wenwen argued, "The total human population is 3 trillion or 5 trillion, and it doesn't matter if the proportion is 0.2 per 100 billion, or 0.2 per trillion." 100,000 is 100,000, and this absolute number will never change. Do you think about how terrible it would be for these 100,000 people to run out and do evil, change their memories today, and control their minds tomorrow, and how chaotic society would be?"
Gu Hanhan smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, there are two worlds of the convention, which makes it clear that the negative impact and harm inflicted by superpowers on non-superpowers by superpowers are equivalent to crimes, and ordinary superpowers will not run out to harm ordinary people." ”
Zheng Wenwen was so anxious that she only shook her head: "That's not the truth, Hanhan, I'm not talking about the law, I'm saying that murder and arson □□ robbery are also crimes, but there are no fewer murderers who kill people, arson□□ robbers in any year." The key is not whether the crime is committed or not, but who can collect evidence, who can try the crime, and who has the ability to make them accept the punishment of the law. ”
"Of course there is," Gu Hanhan said, "The Superpower Association, S.H.I.E.L.D., Inquisition, and various religious courts all have the ability to adjudicate and punish superpower criminals according to law." ”
The smile on Gu Hanhan's face gradually froze, and she said, "It's the entire temple." ”
"In other words, these abilities are controlled by the temple?" asked Zheng Wenwen sharply.
"Suffice it to say, theoretically all superpowers belong to the temple. is a member of the association, the Holy Crusade fighters of the temple, and accepts the jurisdiction and judgment of the temple," Gu Hanhan's voice was a little astringent: "The temple has a solid system to ensure the sanctity and strength of this jurisdiction and ruling, the membership system of the association, the conversion of the temple, the sectarian system, the aristocratic feudal system, and the slavery system......"
This is a strict and solid system, which can ensure that the superpowered people are imprisoned in it, and they will not casually run out to do evil to ordinary people and collapse the entire society, but-Gu Hanhan thought, no one can escape its evil to ordinary people as a whole......
However, the focus of Zheng Wenwen's thinking is obviously different from that of her friend.
She muttered to herself, "The power of that temple is very powerful, no wonder there are so many devout believers......"
