Thirty-nine forts.

Bai Mansheng, who came to the place of human existence for the first time, saw many interesting things in the commercial block on the second floor.

Some unseen ornaments, some unseen clothing.

Even though she is cold, she feels joy and novelty.

will no longer pursue Tang Xian's theory of "danger in the world".

Obviously, as I said before, snatching a few out-of-print books from the hands of cataclysmic humans was also made up.

But that's how a woman is, when she's happy, even if she knows that you've lied to her, she can be pardoned. Conversely, the death penalty may also be pronounced directly.

Tang Xian was lucky.

At present, although the second floor of the pyramid is not as large as Baichuan City in terms of area, it has a large number of shops and is very lively.

The first thing Tang Xian did was to take Bai Mansheng to the cosmetics counter in the mall.

Not only did I have to buy it for Bai Mansheng, but I also had to buy it for Li Xiaoyu, Qing Jiuyu, Qiao Shanshan, Dong Ran, including Tang Suoye, and children of Lingyi's age.

Nowadays, with Baichuan City, Tang Xian looks at the pyramid a lot.

It's like looking at a super warehouse.

Especially in the pyramid where mines are wealthy, Tang Xian can't say how rich he is, but at least he doesn't need to look at the price before shopping in the mall and putting the things he likes in the shopping cart.

Studies have shown that in the process of gradually changing from poverty to wealth, the happiness brought by consumption is stronger than when the desired affluence is achieved.

Tang Xian is like this.

And Bai Mansheng also felt very happy out of his first impression.

Because these items are very expensive by Tang Xian.

For example, the priceless facial cleanser, and the hard-to-find White Snake Biography.

Although these lies have been exposed, Bai Mansheng still has a little habitual thinking, thinking that everything here is valuable.

Tang Xian also found that whether it is a bewitching woman or a cold woman, gift-giving is a versatile way to enhance favorability.

Bai Mansheng's favorability towards Tang Xian has returned to the evaluation of "devotion".

The shopping guide also likes guests like Tang Xian the most.

Although he portrays Don Quixote as a lame old gentleman, this appearance is a nobleman at first glance.

At the age of fifty or sixty, I still take girls in my twenties and shopping with them.

There are a lot of shopping guides who see this kind of thing.

It's just that I've never seen Bai Mansheng so beautiful.

Bai Mansheng shows a strong level of consumption.

In fact, there is a large amount of data in the ancient Weibo given by Luo Liuyan to prove that in ancient times: otaku spent electricity and otaku paid paper, and now it costs money. And literary young women cost both electricity and money.

Carrying large bags of cosmetics, clothes, and various books and discs, Bai Mansheng felt that the human world was really beautiful.

Although she didn't realize it, all this beauty was piled up with money.

Fortunately, Tang Xian is really rich.

Compared with Bai Mansheng, the Tang plane is very easy to handle.

Although the staff in charge of the service in the mall didn't know why this handsome, tall and muscular man was strolling around the toy area.

After shopping, Tang Xian arranged accommodation for Bai Mansheng and Tang Plane.

The snake and the dragon looked at each other and hated each other, so Tang Xian arranged two rooms.

After all these formalities were completed, Mr. Tang Quixote slowly went to the fourth floor, and because Bai Mansheng insisted on following, Tang Xian did not refuse.

The fruit of the sacred tree of Zutun brings about evolution.

There was only one before, and Tang Xian didn't dare to use it easily. But he has been thinking about this matter, and now that more than a month has passed, Tang Xian wants to see how things are going.

At the entrance of the level, Tang Xian looked at the poster at the entrance of the passage and frowned.

The thirty-ninth floor is currently the only fortress with the eighth layer opened, and it is also the only fortress with the method of making the Judgment Knight.

Naturally, Li Wanye would have tried to create a large number of Judgment Knights.

It's just that Tang Xian didn't expect to see such an advertisement here.

It's like a recruitment advertisement in the United States in the mid-twentieth century.

Exaggerated posters depict the appearance of the Knights of Judgment.

After being treated in an art style, the Judge Knight does have a mecha aesthetic.

Just like men loved Gundams more than a thousand years ago. The girls always didn't understand and thought that only children would like those toys.

But mecha is always one of the romances of men, and even when they are thirty or forty years old, there are many people who collect Gundam.

The Judgment Knight in bronze armor has the feeling of softening the mecha.

The poster also has a line of words written on it:

- Talent determines our destiny, but can't destiny really be changed? Join us and become a Knight of Judgment and change your destiny! You'll gain more power, higher honors, and rise to the top!

Tang Xian didn't stand here for too long, and the old gentleman he played was obviously not a very curious person.

He just silently went to the fourth floor, thinking about some news about Jinghe in his mind.

The Orderer is a mechanical body created through life.

If what Crystal Crane said is true, then this sentence has almost indicated the materials used to make the Knight of Judgment.

Song Que had also investigated before, and obviously thought of the birth of a large number of trial knights and the disappearance of the low-level personnel.

Tang Xian clenched his fists. All the good mood disappeared after seeing the poster.

What a terrible lie?

The process of arresting a large number of low-level personnel to create trial knights has made many people notice.

More and more forces are investigating where these people have gone.

In order to solve these troubles, Li Wanye thought of a more poisonous method.

Anyway, no one knows whether those Judgment Knights are machines or lives.

Therefore, Li Wanye directly made the recruitment of trial knights public.

It's like recruiting a regular army.

Change the fate of the bottom, get the honor you have never had, and have great power.

How exciting? Who can resist such a temptation?

But these people have no idea that the price of becoming a knight of judgment is to give up their independence and freedom as a life, and completely become a machine!

"All of a sudden, your emotions have become wrong. What happened. Bai Mansheng said.

"I saw something unbelievable and couldn't explain it clearly." Tang Xian shook his head slightly.

"I remember the book saying that violence can solve everything." Bai Mansheng said.

"Yes, but the right time and reason are needed to use violence."

"Sounds like a hassle."

Tang Xian nodded, this is indeed very troublesome. The severity of the matter was far greater than he had imagined.

The most terrible thing in this world is not evil, but those who do evil things without knowing what evil is.

Li Wanye once rejected the request of the Evolution Zone, which shows that he has a moral bottom line.

But can Li Wanye still realize it now......

He is weaving a lie that he thinks is righteous, or for the future of humanity, but in fact it is absolutely evil.

The fourth floor was soon there.

Tang Xian's mood also adjusted immediately.

There is more than one sick kingdom in the Holy Land fortress.

Li Wanye's charges cannot be cleared. There may be a day in the future when Li Xiaoyu and Li Wanye are on opposite sides.

Tang Xian didn't bother with the inevitable things, but hoped that Li Zheng and Li Xiaonian would never get involved.

Li Xiaoyu has given all her future to Baichuan City, but this does not mean that her past will begin to rot because of this.

He shook his head, shaking off the annoying thoughts.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences is still the same as ever, and it is still a research institute for a group of biological academic fanatics.

It was not difficult to enter the CAS as Don Quixote to visit the trade routes.

Tang Xian passed all the way and came to the door of the laboratory on the trade road.

Naturally, the sign at the door has been removed. The new logo has been affixed as before.

However, to Tang Xian's surprise, the new logo was not the straight man's remarks posted by the business road, but posted by others.

- The owner of the laboratory has found a suitable egg provider.

Tang Xian felt a little confused for the first time.

He thought it was a little funny, and remembered that the logo he left last time was actually a bit excessive.

But it seems that something terrible has really happened because of this.

Tang Xian pushed open the door of the laboratory, but the door was not locked, but it was just hidden.

After approaching the laboratory with Bai Mansheng, Tang Xian found that Bai Mansheng's expression was a little unnatural.

A conversation between two people came from inside the lab.

"Do you need me to remind you, as your fiancée, it is necessary for me to tell you that your brain is now overloaded and you have not slept for thirty-one hours straight.

Your brain's first and second signaling systems are in such a state that even the lowest possible power maintenance will increase your chances of sudden death. ”

The person who spoke was a girl, she should be very young, even a little smaller than Shang Lu, but the tone of her voice was a little like herself.

When Tang Xian thought like this, he felt a little strange, because he liked to analyze problems in an academic tone.

"No, this problem must be solved as soon as possible, is there a problem with the amount of enzymes, or is the alkali component in the soil too heavy?

Or ......"

It was the voice of the trade route, with a little pain and doubt.

Trade routes are normal. It's often a mad gesture to engage in academics.

Tang Xian waved his hand lightly, signaling Bai Mansheng not to make a sound.

Bai Mansheng nodded, her expression was also a little strange, and she seemed absent-minded.

Tang Xian saw this expression, when he was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, he could see Tang Xiaojiu showing such a look when he looked back from time to time.

He was a little surprised, because the smell in his nose should not be appealing food.

"Maybe you need to do something more ordinary, unrelated to it to get your basal ganglia active, so that your prefrontal lobe, which is the higher nerve activity, can focus more on the problem you're solving." The girl's voice came again.

Tang Xian was stunned for a moment, thinking that this girl was really interesting.

She's right, in fact, she does it all the time.

That's why sometimes people are more thoughtful when they are walking, drinking tea, or looking at the scenery than when they are thinking intently.

商路 says:

"So what should I do now?"

"Today is Tuesday, and according to our marriage contract, you should have an experimental sex with me today.

But considering that your body is overloaded and the dopamine secretion is diluted, I recommend that you go to sleep now, wake up with food, and then complete the marriage contract. ”

The girl also added by the way:

"Don't worry, I will take care of your plants for you during this time, and observe the plant change data, although I am not a botanical department but a brain department, but just remembering the plant growth and change is not difficult for me."

From beginning to end, the girl's tone was steady.

Tang Xian suddenly realized, so it's not that he can't find a girlfriend on the business route, but that Xueba needs the same type of Xueba.

But there is a strange feeling, as if Shanglu has found a female version of himself.

He laughed dumbly, and then went into the inner chamber and said:

"It seems that this month, a big event has happened in your life."

Shang Lu was taken aback, then turned around and showed joy, and said:

"Brother Xian, you're here, it's great! I happen to have some questions that I want to ask you. ”

Tang Xian's gaze fell on the girl behind Shang Lu.

She looked two or three years younger than Shang Lu, but the badge on front of her indicated that the little girl with thick glasses had achieved Ph.D. status in several fields. (, domain name (remember _ three.)

In the pyramid, there are also many academic statuses, and their assessment system is even stricter than in ancient times.

Therefore, Tang Xian is sure that the girl in front of him may be smarter than Shang Lu. Or even purely about IQ...... It's very close to yourself.

It's just a feeling, like a kind of magnetic field that is unique to the same kind of seeing the same kind.

"I'm sorry I just overheard your conversation, I'm sure you're married, and by the way, the ring on your ring finger is beautiful. So Shang Lu, I'm sure your wife will be able to answer my questions, and it's time for you to go and rest. ”

Shang Lu was surprised:

"Why?"

"Didn't you sign a contract? Speaking of which, it's really an interesting idea, who came up with the idea to get married and sign a contract? ”

Tang Xian stretched out his hand and said:

"I'm a friend of Shanglu, my name is Tang Xian."

"My name is Zhong Xiuxiu. I am the wife of the trade route. ”

Zhong Xiuxiu then added:

"I think anything, even any relationship, can draw up a contract. This can effectively improve the efficiency of our work and life. And it is extremely efficient to resolve post-marital disputes. ”

Tang Xian was suddenly very curious about a question:

"So how did you get married?"

Shang Ludeng's face flushed, and he said angrily:

"I don't know which bastard put a ...... on my door"

Before he finished speaking, looking at Zhong Xiuxiu's calm and somewhat doubtful eyes, Shang Lu instantly shut up.

"Ninety-four percent of human beings do not develop a greasy feeling with their current subject until about seventy days. Therefore, during the wedding period, which means two months after the completion of the wedding ceremony, we cannot express our dissatisfaction with the marriage partner. From Article 21, Subsection 3 of the Marriage Agreement. ”

Tang Xian almost wanted to applaud.

Zhong Xiuxiu added: "But when I saw a friend who wanted to exaggerate the fact that primates have healthy and reasonable emotions, this time it was just a verbal warning." ”

Shang Lu nodded without a temper.

Immediately, Zhong Xiuxiu looked at Tang Xian again and said:

"I got married because my husband put a request on the door, and I thought my husband was very productive and very attractive to me in terms of appearance and secondary sexual characteristics, so I fulfilled his request to put it on the door. Then he cried with joy, and I asked him to marry. ”

Tang Xian could imagine that Shang Lu was not crying with joy, but with a panicked face, Pear Blossom looked at a lovely girl with rain, with a calm, scrutinizing gaze, and then looked at him "honestly".

Tang Xian patted Shang Lu's shoulder and said:

"I believe that you and Zhong Xiuxiu's genes will be able to create the greatest human brain."

The business route wants to talk and stop, and stop talking and wanting.

Tang Xian looked at the business route, and wanted to laugh more and more.

What is it like to wake up and find out that you are no longer a virgin?

Although Tang Xian didn't see that process, if he wrote a post like this on Bhu, he could already make up for it.

When Shoji secreted bodily fluids, he woke up with the pleasure that came from the prostate.

looked at a girl with an academic research look on her face but was disheveled, and met him honestly with a calm gaze.

Since the trade route was in a coma, it is very likely that the posture at that time was riding.

Although netizens are not short of tens of thousands of starting coins, in view of the fact that there are too many acquaintances in the circle, the interests are too heavy, and the national conditions do not allow it, 404 is too fierce, Tang Xian feels that there is no need to continue to make up for it.

But he had to say that even if he and Li Xiaoyu were absolutely unable to do such a thing.

This girl named Zhong Xiuxiu is really worthy of her name.

Especially after the forced riding of the trade route, he forced the trade route to get married within a month, and this amazing work efficiency made Tang Xian even more impressed with Zhong Xiuxiu.

Finally, I'm not the most abnormal person.

"Okay, Shang Lu, you go and rest, I believe that your wife can solve my doubts more efficiently."

Shang Lu was not reluctant, and he was indeed very tired.

Under Zhong Xiuxiu's plan, in order to improve work efficiency, Shanglu vacated the least commonly used corner of the laboratory as a bedroom.

Before going to bed, he told some things, probably that Tang Xian had the authority to know everything.

After the trade route left, Zhong Xiuxiu said in that tone that was extremely fast and emotionless:

"It is remarkable that my husband gave a man all the right to use the laboratory and all the right to know about the study of plants. This permission is not 100% open even to me. ”

Zhong Xiuxiu took Tang Xian to the laboratory of the Zudun Sacred Tree.

As she walked, she said:

"Based on this situation, I should raise the possibility that he has same-sex tendencies. What do you think? ”

Tang Xian didn't want to speak.

In some cases, Li Xiaoyu also has this problem. But Li Xiaoyu also has emotional moments, although most of these times are classified as brain-dead moments by Tang Xian.

But in comparison, Tang Xian found that Li Xiaoyu was cuter...... No, it's a lot cuter.

Zhong Xiuxiu is like a robot, and the business route is really pitiful.

Tang Xian thinks that his behavior of sticking the logo at the beginning is really (dry) owes (gets) to test (drift) and worry (bright).

Unlike the last time I visited, the laboratory of the trade route has changed a lot.

This is an expanded laboratory, which was provided by Zhong Xiuxiu after coming to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to persuade the dean.

Knocked down the walls of one wall and linked the two labs.

It can be regarded as improving the treatment of trade routes.

The main reason is that Shang Lu wants to try what Tang Xian said before, and if the cultivation range of the Zudun Sacred Tree is increased, he may be able to harvest a larger Zudun Sacred Tree.

This is Tang Xian's blind guess, and it is only a judgment based on the huge rhizome of the Zudun sacred tree in the mining area.

But he guessed right.

"My husband is a very interesting person, he has a lot of noble qualities, such as he likes to know why he does something.

After discovering that the seedlings of the Zutun Sacred Tree had bottomed out, he wanted to figure out how it worked.

But he couldn't understand why the Zudun Sacred Tree grew bigger in the larger the environment, and the rhizome did not appear to be compressed in the small environment.

This question is also one of the troubles that plague him these days.

Mr. Tang Xian, although I think you are worthy of my vigilance to some extent, because if my husband is really gay, then he is most likely to take a fancy to you, but I believe that this also shows that you have a good opinion in the field of plants. ”

Zhong Xiuxiu looked at Tang Xian:

"What do you think of this sacred tree of Zudun?"

"I don't care about the impact of the environment on the trees, I care more about the fruit of the sacred tree of Zudun."

"I see, it's a more valuable thing and deserves more attention, but that's the second problem that bothers my husband.

I think you know that one of his areas of pride is plant cloning. However, he could not clone the sacred tree of Zutun, so he could only let its mother grow freely.

In order to solve the problem that the sacred tree of Zutun could not be cloned, he racked his brains in the past few days, but there was no effective result. ”

Tang Xian noticed that Bai Mansheng was staring at the fruit of the Zudun Sacred Tree, and his expression became more and more unnatural.

This is a look of restraint.

Zhong Xiuxiu also noticed this, she looked at Bai Mansheng and said:

"Aren't your friends human?"

Tang Xian frowned slightly and said:

"Why do you say that?"

"In the microscopic environment, I have found that many organisms instinctively want to get close to the fruit of the sacred tree of Zutun.

They used to move irregularly, but when they got close to the fruit, it was as if they felt a magnetic force.

I confirm that this force field does not exist, and interestingly, human cells are not attracted.

So I'm surmising that your friend either has a unique quirk for the fruit, or she's not human. ”

Bai Mansheng was still awake after all, and she looked at Zhong Xiuxiu in surprise.

Indeed, the fruit of the sacred tree of Zutun had a strong attraction to her.

This attraction was even interfering with her thinking.

Bai Mansheng shook his head, not wanting to cause trouble for Tang Xian, and said:

"I just saw the fruit, and I liked it, my name is Bai Mansheng, and I am the lady-in-waiting of Monsieur Don Quixote."

Zhong Xiuxiu didn't doubt it, after all, she was also engaged in brain research and knew that many people had quirks.

Tang Xian didn't want to linger on the topic of identity, so he said:

"The mystery of the fruit of the sacred tree of Zutun cannot be solved for the time being, it is called the fruit of evolution in the mining area, and the reason why countless creatures are willing to be driven by plants is to eat its fruit.

However, why a small fruit can bring about evolution is not something that can be immediately explained by existing science, and we must first have a research object that evolves through this channel in order to judge the difference between evolution and evolution, and then find out the reason. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to think too much about this issue. ”

Zhong Xiuxiu nodded and said:

"Makes sense."

"How many fruits are there in the sacred tree of Zutun?"

"With the current progress, we can produce two seeds a month. There are currently four pieces in stock. ”

"I'm going to take it and get one."

"No problem, I'm sure my husband won't mind his potential same-sex lust and take away a few fruits that can be sustainably produced."

Tang Xian heard it.

Although Zhong Xiuxiu's tone has not changed, this should be jealous.

He laughed and said:

"You know, people tend to love their wives the most, but in some relevant social situations, they will show that their wives are not as important as their friends, but it's all fake. Men have to bow to their wives in the end. At least that's the way the trade route is. ”

Tang Xian confirmed that Zhong Xiuxiu is a pure rational thinker without any social common sense.

Zhong Xiuxiu tilted her head, thinking about Tang Xian's words, and then said:

"Okay, I'll remember those words and update them to my social behavior manual."

Tang Xian was not surprised why this person would actually give himself a description of social behavior.

After putting the fruit of the Zudun Sacred Tree into the prop bag, Tang Xian left the laboratory with Bai Mansheng.

"I want to eat that fruit."

"Not yet."

"Why? Is this fruit precious? ”

Tang Xian shook his head and said:

"I suddenly had some doubts about the purpose of the sacred tree of Zutun, this fruit may not be as miraculous as I thought."

"What do you mean?"

"Evolution is a difficult process. I've actually been wondering if the Zutun Sacred Tree can really bring about evolution for living beings.

Plant reproduction is actually very interesting, just like flowers attract bees, dandelions will scatter around, so I don't know if this fruit will bring some dangerous situations, so I might as well go to the evolutionary zone to do experiments.

If it can really bring about evolution, I won't be stingy. But you have to be patient.

Whether it's reality or myth, there is a serious price to be paid for stealing the forbidden fruit. ”

After putting the fruit in the prop bag, the attraction was gone.

Bai Mansheng settled his mind and said:

"Where are you going next?"

"After ten hours of dining, in the evening, we will go to the novice village to have a look."

"Newbie Village?"

"It's where I used to mine, it's protected by the Judge Knight, and I want to see how the Judge Knight is made."

Can the Knight of Judgment, who can remove health regeneration, become resistant to it?

It's a dangerous thing to try.

Calling the Don plane and Bai Mansheng is a means of protection.

Tang Xian returned to the second floor.

Restaurants are actually rarely visited these days, and most of them are bars in disguise.

Of course, there are still various banquets held here.

Wedding banquets, college banquets and the like.

Going on to higher education means that even if you are not very talented, you can be employed at a high level like Keye or Shanglu.

In comparison, the phenomenon of talent worship in the academic district is not very serious.

For example, Shang Lu is not a highly gifted chosen one, but his obsession with academics also has a place in the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Tang Xian took Bai Mansheng to a tea restaurant on the second floor.

Ordered two cups of black tea, some fruit.

There is no need to disguise himself in front of Shang Lu and his wife, but on other occasions, Tang Xian still plays Don Quixote.

白曼声 says:

"In comparison, human beings are really good at doing some simple things with a sense of ritual."

"The sense of ritual comes from all kinds of rules, and a world with rules will be more interesting, people like the joy when they break the rules, but if there are no rules, they will feel very boring."

Bai Mansheng was thoughtful.

Tang Xian was talking, but he saw an acquaintance.

Jiang Ming.

He was dining here with his wife.

Next to him, there was the auditor Bai Ling who I saw before. The female boss who was helped by Tang Xian three years ago.

Of course, there is no connection between them now.

The three of them were obviously chatting about some business together.

When Tang Xian looked at Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming also noticed Tang Xian.

So following Jiang Ming's gaze, Bai Ling also looked over.

They're probably going to have to vet temporary workers later.

This is a benefit given by the fortress to the people at the bottom, and for temporary workers who perform well, there is an eligibility for promotion to the second tier.

That's why there are so many service staff on the second floor.

Tang Xian smiled politely at Jiang Ming, and then withdrew his gaze apologetically.

It's like a gentleman seeing a scene of indecent disrespect.

Jiang Ming was a little strange, but in the end he just nodded in acknowledgment.

He didn't recognize Tang Xian, and Bai Ling couldn't recognize Tang Xian.

Bai Mansheng looked at Tang Xian curiously and said:

"You don't act much like you."

"Everyone will be nostalgic, and I am not Zhong Xiuxiu."

Tang Xian suddenly found that he could finally find an object to use as an example of a freak.

Praise the trade route, praise his prosperous beauty and healthy reproductive structure.

"Nostalgia? That's even less like you. ”

"As a place where I grew up, although I don't think nostalgia is good for me, I only do things in the evening, and now having tea with a beautiful woman is very much in line with the behavior of the person I play."

Tang Xian paused, and then said:

"It won't be long before something bad happens to this fortress."

"For example?"

There are really a lot of disputes in the human world, Bai Mansheng thought.

"Do you know zombies?"

"What's that?"

"A kind of post-apocalyptic science fiction thing, they are living corpses that have been resurrected due to the influence of certain mutations in human beings, such as scientific drugs, biochemical factors, viral infections, etc., and spread viruses by gnawing others.

Zombies do not possess any human characteristics, despite having human bodies.

But in science fiction, their code of conduct is often driven by the most basic desire to survive - eating. Or at the behest of a mother. ”

Bai Mansheng doesn't understand much, she has read a lot of stories, but most of them are romances.

Tang Xian just found a topic casually and said:

"Zombies look like people in the short term, so many people think they are human.

Some people even raise relatives who have become zombies, thinking that they are still their relatives. ”

白曼声 says:

"Does this have anything to do with the change in the fortress you're talking about?"

"It's best if it doesn't matter, but now it seems that people believe that they have become Knights of Judgment, and that they are still human, and that they still have consciousness.

And their relatives seem to accept this, although I believe that the Knights of Judgment are before them, and they do not recognize who is who at all. ”

Not only the entrance to the passage of the level, but also elsewhere on the second floor, Tang can also see some advertisements encouraging non-gifted people to become Knights of Judgment.

This kind of evil advertising is everywhere. On the way to the restaurant, Tang Xian even saw some slums, residential areas dedicated to those who have been promoted to the second floor, with dense advertisements for the recruitment of Judge Knights.

It's like the Macau online casino advertisement that ancient people saw after opening a certain color website.

"If people know the truth...... The fortress would erupt in one of the largest unrest in history. ”
