Chapter 214 - Sakizuki's Frolic 04
About half an hour later, Dior, who was in a daze, received a new contact. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Su Yuan, who came to the laboratory, brought four large red boxes, and when Dio looked at her with a puzzled expression, she immediately began to explain.
"This is the official document entrusted to me by the Hunter Department, and I will convey the message of the Hunter Department next," Su Yuan said expressionlessly, "After all, D-10 is also a British public service, so when you are not in the office, no one will help you deal with all the official documents, and you have no secretary or assistant, all the accumulated shares are here." Of course, only some less important documents were brought here, because there were too many accumulations to bring the Ming Empire as an exception, and before you returned to London, it was best to complete all the documents here. ”
Diorten stood up suddenly, picked up a red box, and threw it into the furnace in the laboratory without saying a word. Ignition, ignition, all in one go, without a trace of procrastination. Then she sat back in her seat leisurely, completely ignoring Su Yuan's shocked expression, took out her pipe and lit the fire by herself.
"There are two things I hate the most in my life, one is the red box and the other is the official document. Since it's not an important document, I'll burn it. ”
"Oh. Su Yuan didn't say anything, but left the laboratory without saying a word.
Just when Dior wondered why she was so honest, Su Yuan walked in with a few boxes of the same style.
"There are quite a few, burn slowly. ”
“......”
Find an open place and burn it all, Dior's head suddenly popped into this thought. No, if it was discovered by the guys from the hunter department, it was estimated that she would be convicted of dereliction of duty, so when Su Yuan moved the box in, she put the box in front of the desk next to the stove, and then picked up the brush and wrote down the two big words 'firewood', and after taping it on the box, she clapped her hands and returned to her seat as if she had done nothing.
When Su Yuan brought the box in again, Dio pointed to his neatly arranged box.
"Ah, I'm sorry for you, just put it here. ”
"It seems that you don't have to worry, this winter," Su Yuan smiled bitterly and put down the box, "If you want to go back to London, it's best to go back to London as soon as possible." Before the start of spring this year, there may be a heavy snowfall. ”
"Huh, is the weather forecast accurate enough now?"
"Weather forecast?oh, I've almost forgotten that you're British," Su Yuan patted his head, "The 'weather forecast' of the Ming Empire doesn't use satellites to monitor air flow conditions, but has another way. Did you see those guys setting up stalls and reading palmists while wandering the streets?"
"Don't tell me that the Ming Empire is still using that kind of 'primitive' means. The corners of Dior's mouth twitched.
"Primitive?It seems that you don't care much about these things, you are also like the kind of person who doesn't wear an umbrella when it rains," Su Yuan shrugged his shoulders and continued, "The accuracy of the Ming Empire's weather forecasts surpasses that of any country in the world, and I don't really understand the specific operation method, at least in the current statistics of scholars." Think about it, if there is no demand, how could the Ming Empire let that kind of street swindler run all over the place?"
It's... It's a bit of an incomprehensible news. Dio held her forehead, she seemed to remember that she had also met an old fortune teller on the street in Sicily, it seemed that this 'weather fortune telling' had spread all over the world?
The world is full of surprises.
"So, no matter how heavy the snow is, it won't paralyze the traffic of the entire Ming Empire," Dior said indifferently, "At that time, it will be too late to leave, not to mention that I only need to go to Shanghai, where the submarine we are proud of is still parked." ”
"That's right, and even if you want to go back to London, there's no hurry," Su Yuan nodded, "Then again, I met the captain on the road before I came." ”
"Let them play, there's nothing else to do right now anyway. ”
"I've also heard that the results of the exercise "D-10" were not very good?"
"Shut up and be quiet for a while. ”
"Aren't you going with them, there's nothing else to do while you're here, right?" Su Yuan patted the table, "This is the organization and circle that 'exists for you', that is to say, once you are not there, this circle may not be able to get along at all." You can understand that, right?"
"Do you know what I set up D-10 for?" Dior looked at her dissatisfied, motioning her to shut up, "I was here to find information related to Wonderland and make D-10 my possession." In other words, I don't care if "D-10" can work without me, preferably not. It's 'my thing' and what I want to do with it is my business. Now that I have a lot of information about Wonderland, the rest of this organization is to make my actions more convenient. Even if Sixteen Nights really wanted to join "D-10" now, I would refuse, understand? ”

"This is the most famous temple in Nanjing, and although there are very few humans who visit it, there are many monsters who come here to listen to the master's teachings. People who travel here every year come here to get a glimpse of the true face of the master, and of course, it's the off-season for tourists, so there are no tourists in sight. ”
Jacqueline was in charge of the tour guide, and when the group arrived in front of the temple, they happened to see a monk saying goodbye to some monsters.
"Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer our questions. ”
"Where, as long as you are willing, the poor monk is ready to take care of you at any time. ”
As she spoke, the monster with beast ears and the humans next to her left the temple, and when they passed by Yuru and her group, she glanced at Yuru with strange eyes. The girl froze for a moment, she didn't have the shadow of this monster in her memory, and the strange gaze of the other party also caught her attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Nanchan Temple, the poor monk is the abbot here... Huh?" the monk walked up to the group, and before he had finished his sentence, he noticed the strangeness of a few of them, "Oh, what a familiar face." ”
"Ahh Jiang Liu'er or something?"
"It's a poor monk, this is really a rare fate. ”
Nanzen Temple, the name of this temple is actually very few people have heard. It is not a temple founded by Jiang Liuer himself, but after the death of the previous abbot, he took over here and has supported the temple alone.
Jiang Liu'er led everyone to the inner courtyard, which is where the monks usually live. Jiang Liu'er knew that these people definitely didn't come to ask for Buddha, so he sat down after preparing tea.
"You all seem to have something on your mind. ”
"Everybody has something on their minds," Jacqueline looked more positive than usual, "and that doesn't make any sense." ”
"Not all things are the same, there are things that affect the status quo, there are things that disappear naturally after a period of time, and there are things that will become more and more painful over time, everyone has things on their minds, but everyone has 'their own' minds. ”
"You too?"
"Of course, the poor monks are just 'humans', and when I have troubles, I recite the scriptures so that I can calm down. ”
Sixteen nights yawned, she was not very interested in this kind of 'preaching', but Jacqueline and Jiang Liuer became more and more energetic. Saki on the side climbed on top of the stone statue and hid behind to 'observe' their every move. Sixteen Nights couldn't help but smile secretly for a lifetime, waving at Misaki Night.
"Honestly, Master," Jacqueline narrowed, "I'm actually a 'subhuman'. I came here to ask the master a question, do you think that a person like me has a 'soul'?"
"It's a difficult question," Jiang Liu'er shook, "the soul and the spirit, which may be part of human consciousness. The jury itself is inconclusive. We humans have no way to prove that we have a 'soul', and this has been the case for hundreds of years. Does it matter to the donor whether you have a soul or not? That doesn't prove that you're human, and in my eyes you're a 'different race' from the monsters. ”
"After all, when did you start calling youkai?"
Sixteen Nights interjected at an inopportune time, she picked up and ran to her feet, looked at her daughter with a smile, and said:
"Different skin colors can be called different races, and we are only distinguished by some physical features, so we can't be called humans? Monsters, monsters, and even subhumans are just symbols of human fear. Humans are best at eliminating aliens, and they are afraid of these 'monsters' that are more powerful than them, so they try to exclude them by all means, to install them with a race different from their own, so that they can be expelled from their own species for all sorts of reasons. Obviously, there is not even the most basic bio/reproductive isolation between different species. ”
"I've never felt inferior, why should we be excluded when we're better than others? Misaki Ya, you also remember, this is our 'dignity of survival'. ”
