Chapter 24: Fighting wits and courage
A curving cobblestone path, embedded in the verdant lawn, was headed by three people walking through it.
The one who walked in the middle, of medium height, wore a blue-gray suit, had a black blindfold over his face, his arms were tied behind his back, and he walked slowly.
When the three of them walked to the door of the first floor, the door opened automatically, and a guard in a black suit stood at the door, his vigilant eyes staring at the three of them, his face expressionless.
Through the glass door, the trio walked into the hall and along the burgundy carpet to Thomson.
Thomson was leaning against the table, standing there, his hands crossed over his chest, one hand resting on the table, tapping lightly, making a slight sound, and his expression was relaxed and natural, as if he were going to meet an old friend.
"The guest has arrived, sir. The man in the suit who walked in front said.
Thomson stretched out his right index finger and shook it from side to side in the air a few times, his eyes flicked, and he motioned for the "guest" to release his arm and take off the blindfold.
Untying the brown and yellow hemp rope and taking off the black blindfold, the two men in suits stood beside them, their eyes looking at Thomson.
The "guest" stood in the center of the hall, his eyes blinking a few times, and gradually adjusting to the bright environment.
"Welcome to Yuehua Island, my dearest Professor of Wind Language. Thomson looked at him, stretched out his right hand, and smiled.
The man who was called Professor of the Language of the Wind seemed to be still in a dream, and he was not at all mentally prepared for the sudden appearance in this strange place, and looked at Thomson blankly, and did not speak for a long time.
Wind whispered two steps back, his face full of suspicion, unable to believe his eyes, and asked in surprise, "What the hell is going on?" Thomson. ”
"I didn't expect to meet old friends again so soon, didn't they? ”
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" the wind whispered with a flushed face and shouted in frustration.
"Don't worry, old friend. You always have an admirable spirit of inquiry, which can be shown at all times. This is the headquarters of the Future Alliance, welcome to join us, congratulations!" Thomson once again held out his right hand.
Ignoring his outstretched hand, Wind Whisper looked directly at Thomson and continued, "'Futu
e Allia
What is CE (Future Alliance)? How come I've never heard of it?"
"It's a secret organization, of course you wouldn't know. It will be the ruler of the future world, the builder of the future world order after the rebirth of the earth, and the great king of the future. It is the ruler of the earth after it has slipped into the abyss and fallen into a state of complete chaos, and it is the king of tomorrow. ”
"You're crazy, Thomson. I don't want to know anything about 'Futu
e Allia
CE (Alliance for the Future)', and won't join your organization, send me back. Otherwise, I'll accuse you!" the wind said in a hurry, trembling all over.
Thomson made a "tsk" sound from his mouth, "Mr. Wind Whisper, you don't seem to understand your current situation. Wake up, you are already a 'dead man', and there is no more 'Whisper of the Wind' professor in the world. With that, Thomson let out a burst of maniacian laughter, a devilish voice echoing through the corners of the hall.
Wind whispered his hands into fists, gritted his teeth, and his face turned even paler. He roared and lunged at Thomson, fist swinging. The man in the suit next to him took a step forward, grabbed him, and held his hand firmly. He staggered and stood there, shouting "shameless, liar" incessantly, his eyes wide with rage, and he was extremely angry.
After a long while, the anger of the Wind Whisper gradually dissipated a little, and his breathing became steady. He asked:
"Mr. Thomson, I really don't understand, what do you want to do? You and I are also old friends, both are world-renowned meteorological experts, both shoulder a great mission, our research results will promote the development and progress of mankind, we should have a broad view of the universe and development, and make greater contributions to the happiness of mankind. ”
"Yes, Mr. Wind Whisper, we are excellent representatives of humanity, at the forefront of scientific research, engaged in meaningful research. We often participate in international climate change forums together, and our research scope and direction are basically the same, and we are the two most authoritative people in climate change research today. We have studied climate change for decades, collected deep ice samples from the Antarctic, Arctic, Arctic Ocean and even the Himalayan foothills, created countless mathematical models of climate change, and gained a clear understanding of the Earth's climate change trend and rate of change over the past 10,000 years. The impact of climate change on the earth, the impact on human development, and even the final fate of the earth and the final end of mankind, we know very well in our hearts, but we just haven't published the conclusions, haven't we?" Thomson changed his rebellious tone just now, and his face showed the face of a scholar.
Wind Whisper sighed, "Mr. Thomson, there is some truth to what you said. But as meteorological scientists, we should make the research results available to society in a timely manner, slow down or even reverse the rate of climate change, and minimize the impact of climate change on the earth and people, and from my research, this is feasible!"
"Ha, ha, ha!" Thomson laughed loudly and applauded exaggeratedly, "Beautiful! Mr. Wind Whisper, you speak beautifully, do you believe it yourself? To put it bluntly, only the two of us know best in the world that this trend is irreversible and is accelerating further, extreme weather events will emerge one after another, climate collapse is inevitable, and the world will be reborn!"
"What the hell are you going to do? The earth belongs to all mankind, and we only have the right to protect, not the right to destroy. ”
"My dearest Mr. Wind Whisper, for the sake of our friendship and common cause, you may as well listen to me. ”
Thomson walked back behind the table and sat down in his chair, sitting up straight, his eyes looking at the Whisper of the Wind, as if he had something to say.
