Chapter 128: Higher Challenges

After thinking about it, An Feng hung up the phone again to Oldney and asked, "Are you ...... Have you passed the clinical inspection? ”

As soon as Oldney heard it, he knew that now An Feng could speak freely, his nerves relaxed, and he naturally replied: "I'm ...... Bird Nature Reserve looking at the scenery, aha, why are there suddenly more police. There are police officers in civilian clothes everywhere. ”

This sentence is actually to inform An Feng: There are police everywhere on the island, and it is a bit difficult to start.

An Feng sighed and said, "You get on the yacht, I will inform the crew and let them receive you." ”

Oldney pondered for a moment and apologized in a low voice: "It seems that I ruined your business, I'm sorry." ”

After setting up Odney, An Feng turned back to the room, eating the breakfast slowly, patiently waiting for the appointed time to come. He is a very patient person, how many days he has squatted in a certain place, every chew on the dinner table is infinitely extended, he is savoring every sip of deliciousness, every drop of fine wine - in this regard, Zhang Shuting on the other side is speechless, and it just so happens that this girl is not someone An Feng needs to bother to please, so ...... An Feng looked very dull during the whole meal.

Zhang Shuting also suddenly noticed that An Feng had become dull, and she watched the reports on TV with great interest, but An Feng was not interested in what was broadcast on TV. Zhang Shuting wanted to exchange TV programs with An Feng several times, but always found An Feng with his eyes closed, looking like he was intoxicated and enjoying himself, absent-minded and unresponsive to other topics. After a few times, Zhang Shuting stopped talking.

As the time slowly approached eight o'clock, Zhang Shuting let out a long sigh and asked boredly: "Brother Kane, I'm a little curious...... I don't know whether to ask this, what's wrong with your wife...... You obviously came out to play together, why are you trapped in the hotel and your wife goes out by herself? ”

"First, Susan is not my wife; Second, the hotel can't trap me. Thirdly, Suzanne and I are both independent individuals, and we have no right to ask each other to sacrifice or give anything. She's an occupational disease and wants to go out and get active, and I, I just want to be alone for a while. ”

Zhang Shuting showed an unbelievable face, she glanced at the TV, and suddenly felt that it was rare for An Feng to be willing to talk about this topic, she ran over and turned off the TV, and turned around to discuss with An Feng: "Do you want to stay alone?" Why don't I think, how were you guys last night...... The two of you are in love now, in love with each other, you and her, whatever you want to fly alone, fly solo. ”

"Because love is not the whole of life", An Feng took a sip of red wine, which was not bad, he closed his eyes and replied slowly.

Zhang Shuting turned her face to look at the turned off TV, lowered her head and pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "It's hard to understand...... I got my visa in February, and I was supposed to go abroad in July, just in time for the start of school here, but my cousin said that since I was repeating my freshman year of high school in the United States, there was no need to stay in China and waste time, so I came early. However, after the excitement and excitement at the beginning, this day is so boring. ”

An Feng didn't respond to this topic, Zhang Shuting rolled her eyes, and asked again: "Brother Kane, why are there so many people who come to study abroad, huh?" This one...... I happened to look at the course schedule for the next semester, and there was actually 'Table manners, this course, eating rules should also be studied as a separate course?' Also, my cousin said that the junior high school course I studied in China is enough to support me until I graduate from high school, so what else do I come here to study? ”

"This question is very simple, the whole world knows it, and the leader of the country also knows it...... Have you read the syllabus? ”

Zhang Shuting bit her lower lip and nodded slightly, An Feng raised his wrist to look at his watch, there was not much time left

"What does the domestic syllabus say? The purpose of education is ...... Improving the quality of the nation, promoting social development and prosperity, promoting economic development, safeguarding the unity of the motherland, safeguarding the leadership of a certain person, and dedicating a lifetime ...... to the doctrine of such and such a person, right?

Have you read the syllabus of other countries? In fact, the syllabus is the same in other countries, such as Europe and the United States, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Ethiopia. The purpose of their education is to develop individuals with the ability to live independently.

The ability to live independently, this is the purpose of their education, so they stipulate in the syllabus that students should be taught to be organized, to learn a skill, to learn to say thank you and gratitude, to learn to laugh, to learn self-control...... Learn to communicate with society, learn to integrate into this society, and so on.

The table manners you are talking about, this is actually a compulsory course in their kindergarten, I guess there are a lot of traveling students like you in your school, and this course is reserved until high school, and it is estimated that it is specially reserved for you, because you must not have learned it in kindergarten.

That's the difference. On the one hand, the purpose of education is to lower IQ, to tell you that your legitimate labor should be given away and managed and disposed of by others, which is a matter of course. As for whether you will have basic life skills, it is not considered. On the other hand, it only cares about whether you can survive on your own and whether you can survive skills, and as for what kind of thinking you want to have, it happens to be outside the scope of its consideration.

Therefore, after the former goes out, they will feel that they are out of place in society, that they used to live in an ivory tower, that they lack the means to make a living, that the society is very complex and that the human heart is very sinister, and it is not at all what is described in books. And when the latter go out, they never have the feeling that 'school is an ivory tower, because they have learned every detail of life in books, and every skill taught in books is preparing them for adapting to society......

Well, I'm a little boring, you know? If you understand, you will understand why your cousin asked you to come early, of course, this, the whole planet knows, and domestic officials also know. ”

Zhang Shuting immediately said: "What is brainwashing?" I've often heard people say this word, can you ...... Tell me about it. ”

An Feng looked at his watch again—there were still ten minutes left.

It's almost impossible to describe a grand concept in ten minutes. An Feng thought for a while and replied in the most economical sentence: "The purpose of brainwashing is to make you have no standards of right and wrong, no concept of right and wrong, so that you unswervingly believe in the 'truth' he instilled, and you can't listen to other people's ...... Reason. ”

"Cut, this is impossible, how can people have no standards of right and wrong, no concept of right and wrong? I ......"

"The first step of brainwashing is: special cases. Whoever tells you that there are special cases for everything, there are special circumstances...... Someone told you about this, right? ”

Zhang Shuting choked for a moment, and immediately counterattacked: "There is no absolute thing in the world, 100% of things do not exist, not a drop of water is 100% pure, of course, there are special cases for everything." ”

"Since not a drop of water is 100% pure, how do we define a drop of water? According to you, there are exceptions to everything. How do we define 'all things,' Isn't anything absolute, so nothing can be described? Always describe, always understand the world, then, who has the most absolute authority on the definition of this world? Are power and rank the only criteria? …… This last sentence is exactly what the first step of brainwashing needs to achieve. ”

"That, that, that...... There are absolutely no such things in the world. ”

"It's an absolute thing. Oh, you want to say: a man plus a woman is three people, right? You believe in the exceptions, but in the examples you give, the former is a mathematical problem and the latter is a reproduction problem. You question the math with the question of reproduction, and that's the trick -- you say the price of oil is expensive, I say Sweden is even more expensive. You say that Swedish roads are not tolled, I say that Japan is tolled. You say that wages are high in Japan, and I say that wages are low in Russia. You said that Russia has universal health insurance, I said that India has no medical insurance, and now that it has, then I will close the news and not let you know.

In short, I have the right to speak, and everything I say is the absolute truth. If you reason with me, I will play hooligan with you; If you play hooligan with me, I will talk to you about the legal system; If you talk to me about the legal system, I will talk to you about policy; If you talk to me about policy, I will talk to you about national conditions; If you talk to me about the national situation, I will talk to you about integration; If you talk to me about integration, I will talk to you about culture......

So, the person who is talking to you is the one who comes to brainwash you, who wants you to be uncertain about anything in the world, and then he will ask you to follow his standards and judge right and wrong according to his intentions.

Zhang Shuting bit her fingers and thought about it, thinking about it and said, "It seems to make some sense." Can you say a little more. ”

There are still a few minutes left and right, and An Feng continued: "The second step is 'stance, there is this word in the song you learned in elementary school,' 'stand firm or something,' Since you believe it, then the standard of right and wrong of things is not unique, it is based on the 'position', and it changes. Therefore, there is no such thing as justice, equality, and justice in this world, and there is no unified standard of right and wrong.

But there must be rules in this world, right? There has to be an order, right? Who makes this rule? Who determines the order, and maintains? Since there is no universal standard for right and wrong, why should we follow this rule and order? So, the next thing you'll be told is 'the big picture,' This so-called 'overall situation' is that whoever is bigger than you, his 'bureau' is bigger than you, and his standard of right and wrong is 'the overall situation', and you must obey it.

You see, the standard of right and wrong of things is up to some people, who say that this is right today, and maybe tomorrow they say that it is wrong, and why, it is just a different position. ”

"Is there a third point?" Zhang Shuting was still too young to understand some of the words, but since An Feng wanted to continue this topic as a means to kill time, she would continue to talk about this topic...... However, the more these words were savored, the more cold she felt.

"The third step is 'for your own good,--tell you that he has represented your rights and interests for your good, and that he has put the income of your lawful labor at his disposal, and for this reason he has shown you the warmth of Feng, and if you don't let him care about you, you are ungrateful, that is, you forget your ancestors, that is...... All kinds of abuse. ”

An Feng looked down at his watch, and the time was up. He made a long story short: "The fourth step is feelings, teaching you to judge right and wrong based on feelings, and never think based on intelligence." For example, if you are from a certain village, you have to have feelings for this village, and when others talk about the situation of this village, if you say something bad, you will immediately have instinctive resistance, and you must not be calm, and you must not use your IQ to evaluate what he says is right or wrong.

In this way, even if others want to tell you the right truth and correct concept in the future, you will instinctively refuse to accept, think, and compare...... Well, that's all for today, go pack your bags, we're ready to hit the road. ”

Zhang Shuting stood up trembling and muttered, "Mom...... My mom used to 'be good for me,' and my mom used to tell me 'stance,' my mom...... I am often influenced by feelings, and I ......"

An Feng nudged Zhang Shuting's shoulder: "The world is very big, and the people around you don't represent the whole world...... You know what I mean? The education standards in this world are not the same, so North Korea's Kim Er Fat wants Kim Er Fat to go out to study, so your cousin let you come out early. You're actually a little late to come out now, you've already sung 'Stand firm or something' in elementary school. When you receive this training, you will unconsciously use this concept to treat others and demand from others in the future.

This is not good, looking at the world with this kind of worldview, Jin Erpang doesn't want his children to be like this. Now you want to be smart and not be deceived, what you have to do is: abandon feelings and judge things. Think actively, learn to use IQ - you can also use a neutral word to describe it: see things with reason......"

Zhang Shuting's body was pushed, and she returned to her room unwillingly. For the first time in her life, she began to examine her past, and a sense of powerlessness flooded her heart, and at this moment, she was really frightened. It turns out that many of my own ideas are ......

Not long after Zhang Shuting left, An Feng's mobile phone ding, and Susanna's test report was delivered.

asked Dr. Tom for this test report, firstly, to test the degree of openness of Dr. Tom's information to An Feng, and on the other hand, An Feng really wanted to see what Dr. Tom knew about Susanna, and what specialties Suzanne had that he didn't know.

According to the report, Suzanne has experienced two small shootouts, in which Suzanne has an overwhelming advantage, but it seems that ...... Dr. Tom is not satisfied with this and is preparing to give Suzanne a more difficult challenge.

The report also recorded Susanna's neural reaction time, visual and auditory sensations...... In short, Suzanne is an excellent person, her vision has a high sense of abstraction and fuzzy logic, she can accurately identify lurkers in camouflage clothes from flowers, and can intuitively judge abstract QR codes.

As for her hearing...... The verdict given by the report is that with Susanna's highly focused attention, she can filter out ambient sounds and hear sounds from U13 meters away. With the help of the phone's amplification, she can hear the tone of a phone call from two kilometers away. The results of the current test are that only the institute's specially designed shielded mobile phone can prevent Suzanne from eavesdropping.

The mobile phone in An Feng's hand is specially made by the research institute, which can shield tracking signals, prevent eavesdropping, and encrypt information...... But these functions are only external, and for the institute, the phone is almost unguarded.

From the report, An Feng also saw that Susanna's police partner was likely to be Dr. Tom's person, because the tone used in the report was not from the perspective of a bystander, and the person who wrote the report revealed the tone of the witness everywhere, for example, he described Susanna's on-the-spot performance, often used: I help...... I think...... I followed...

It took An Feng ten minutes to flip through this record, which was a long time at his reading speed. This is mainly because he is looking and thinking - what is the purpose of the institute "making" Suzanne and him? Susanna, who has experienced two shootouts, is still not satisfied with her performance, so will the institute be satisfied with his trial?

In contemplation, Odenney's call came, and he briefly reported: "I'm on the docks now, and your crew has accepted me." I parked my car on the pier and was about to board the ship......"

An Feng immediately followed: "Now you can talk freely." ”

Suzanne is now about two kilometers away from An Feng. Zhang Shuting was packing her luggage next door, and An Feng was the only one in the room now...... Never before has there been such a secure environment for calling.

Oldney breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay. At the appointed time, the call came, but the two sides did not talk a word, and the other party played a short bar music on the phone, and then hung up the phone. The woman on the boat immediately dialed another phone, and she only said one sentence on the phone: "The march was played

I recorded the whole call, I checked, and the number the mysterious woman dialed was a New Jersey number, the number of a beach house, and I saw an ad for the villa on the Internet. ”

An Feng was silent for a moment on the phone, Oldney knew what An Feng was thinking, and continued to say: "So many people are tracking Rosario, but they haven't found any flaws so far, I guess that villa must not be able to find clues, maybe that person left the villa immediately after making the call, and now chasing it, it is estimated that no trace can be found." Our clues seem to be broken, what now, interrogating that mysterious woman? ”

"It's useless, that mysterious woman is a call forwarder, she won't know any useful clues, otherwise, the killer wouldn't have squatted on the dock and monitored for so long." An Feng thought for a moment and ordered, "It seems that we are going to be like that killer...... Since the one on the ship is a woman, aren't you the best at dealing with women? Then you stay.

I will hand over the yacht to you, and the yacht will be under your command for the next few days. You lean the yacht against her and pretend to be a regular tourist. I installed bugging devices on the woman's boat and in her house. The yacht has a room and the password is ...... There's a full range of bugging equipment in that room, and ahem, you'll know when you go in. The yacht is yours these days, and the woman is yours. I'll go to that villa and see what clues I can find? ”

After hanging up the phone, An Feng waited for a while, and sure enough, Dr. Tom called as scheduled.

"Kane, I've just read your test report, but I think you should get more tests, so I've got you a little bit of a ...... After the show, your helicopter will fly directly to Boston, and the ground staff will arrange it for you......"
