After eliminating the sub-chief who slipped through the net, An Xiaoyu immediately returned to the imperial capital. It had been about four or five days since she was incapacitated, and she almost felt like a century had passed. The feeling of flying freely returned to the body, and the breeze swept through her face and hair, relieving An Xiaoyu's tired body and mind.

The sky was shrouded in clouds, and the stars and moon could not be seen, but this did not affect An Xiaoyu's good mood.

Ten thousand lights began to appear on the ground, and the core area and periphery of the imperial capital were all displayed in front of An Xiaoyu's eyes, as if it was a bright star cluster, composed of countless lights to form the flow of the galaxy.

An Xiaoyu found Changsheng's villa for the first time, and wanted to fulfill her promise to end Changsheng's life of exile in this basement he chose, so as to avoid the pain of his body gradually turning into stones.

When the bald old man saw An Xiaoyu coming, the spatula in his hand paused and landed in the iron pot, making a crisp sound. An Xiaoyu saw that his face was a little reluctant and sad, of course, most of them were happy for the liberation of immortality.

He took off his apron and walked towards the porter with An Xiaoyu.

"You know what? I am an orphan who did not know that I had been abandoned by water in the midst of war. The bald old man said, "I don't know who my parents are, and I don't have relatives, Changsheng picked me up in a pool of blood, and he is the only relative in my life." ”

"I knew he was immortal, and I thought he would always be immortal. I used to think that when I was about to die, I would take Changsheng's hand and tell him that I couldn't take care of him anymore and let him be nicer to him in the future, but I didn't think about it......"

The old man sighed, seemed to exert some strength, looked at the door under the open carpet, and said softly, "I didn't expect him to die sooner than me. ”

As he spoke, before An Xiaoyu could express any feelings, the old man quickly bent down and opened the door, the entrance to the basement was revealed, and the old man walked in first.

An Xiaoyu opened her mouth and didn't know how to speak, so she closed her mouth and walked in the same way behind the old man.

Walking down the gloomy staircase, the old wood on the steps made a creaking sound, An Xiaoyu heard this sound, and felt the bleak atmosphere that filled the entire basement, and gradually gave birth to some uneasy feelings in her heart.

Falling to the ground, An Xiaoyu looked at the bald old man who was stunned on the spot, lowered his eyelids slightly, walked to his side, and whispered, "He's gone." ”

The old man didn't react, he thought he could be strong, but he was caught off guard.

He cried and whispered to An Xiaoyu: "I thought I could see him for the last time, and told him that today's dinner was his favorite green pepper shredded pork, and told him that when I measured my blood sugar today, it was three percentage points lower, just like usual." ”

"But...... Why did he leave? The old man threw himself into Changsheng's arms and cried, a man in his seventies, crying like a seven-year-old child.

An Xiaoyu was a little unbearable, looking at the figure that had all turned into black stone, feeling that there was no longer any spirit and vitality in it, An Xiaoyu bowed deeply towards Changsheng.

She didn't know why Changsheng died so quickly, so when she walked into this two-story building and felt the dead air in the basement, she wanted to tell the bald old man that she could go down alone.

Perhaps it is the immortality of immortality and the high priest that are twinn, and if one is broken, the other will also lose his life; Or maybe Ghost Hunt only knew that such a person existed in this world when he found the high priest, and he checked it and took away the immortality by the way.

No matter what it was, Chang Sheng died, and she still didn't say it after all.

She walked over to the old man and sat down and watched the bald old man cry.

An Xiaoyu is not a person who is good at comforting others, there is no doubt about it. As the only girl in the family since she was a child, she has been pampered at all, and even seven or eight-year-old An Xiaoan asked to go to the field to help with farming, and An Xiaoyu never picked up a hoe.

She is the most favored girl in the entire tribe, the most concerned student in the entire imperial capital, even the first person under the Heavenly Dao is her teacher, her friends are the elite of the world, she can help solve any problem, how can she learn to comfort others?

So standing in this basement full of instruments, An Xiaoyu actually felt that the area around her was empty, echoing with the sad cry of the old man, as if she was in a barren wilderness, so helpless.

An Xiaoyu finally understood what it means to feel the life of ordinary people and what it means to comprehend the feelings of normal people, it turns out that this is the feelings of normal people.

It seems that it has been a long time since he accepted the helplessness in his heart, accepted any malice in this world, accepted all the sadness of loss and the joy he gained, and since Chi Mo turned into ashes in front of him, these things have nothing to do with An Xiaoyu.

And in this underground force, facing a dead old man, An Xiaoyu found these back.

Standing up, An Xiaoyu patted the old man's shoulder, bowed to Changsheng again, and quietly left the basement, leaving the second-story building, letting the old man's crying gradually fade away in his ears, and gradually became inaudible, leaving only the sound of the wind in his ears.

It's like a whimper of heaven and earth.

Nearly a week has passed since the matter of the high priest, the clouds of the imperial capital are still shrouded, and it has entered November, the trees on the streets have completely lost their vitality, and they have all entered the winter hibernation, and An Xiaoyu has also begun to enter the dormant period.

I don't know why, after the death of the High Priest and the Elder, An Xiaoyu seemed to be no longer so interested in cultivation and things in the cultivation world. She herself doesn't know, it seems that from the inside, she has begun to look forward to those ordinary lives without novelty.

I returned to life at the academy, taking classes, training, and preparing for exams.

Because the administrator taught the art of life and death, he was finally persuaded by Zuo Qiu Zhizuo to return to the bottom of the sea of three thousand books because too many teachers jointly signed the book. For this reason, An Xiaoyu laughed at him well, but the administrator still looked indifferent, very boring.

They are all very curious, Recently, An Xiaoyu's absenteeism rate has almost reached zero, only occasionally when he sleeps, he will skip the first class, and all the other classes are present, which makes the teachers very relieved and makes the students panic.

An Xiaoyu's big mold operation marriage technique seems to have spread throughout the mecha department, and many people like to pat Leng Yan on the shoulder and say, "You are really hard." ”

However, Leng Yan felt that he really hadn't been unlucky a few times because of An Xiaoyu, probably really hard?

What the high priest did in the ancient city, although it was blocked by the Military Commission and the Ministry of Supervision, the empire's network was so developed, and the information exchange was so open, the news was concealed for less than half a month, and it was released.

Of course, in the thick nerves of the people of the imperial capital, as long as it was a tragedy a week ago, it would not cause any panic.

However, the panic did not erupt, and of course it set off another tone.

Opposition to the acceptance of half-breeds as citizens of the empire has re-emerged, and from the two centers of the imperial capital and the ancient city, there has been a lot of talk about half-breeds, and some people have even suggested that the half-race citizenship policy should be abolished and all half-breeds should be driven back to the western mountains.

Of course, such an offer could not be accepted.

The policy of hybridization has been officially enacted for many years, starting with the small towns on the border, and gradually there are many interracial and human hybrids that produce hybrids, which are different from the alien races, and they have more formal citizenship and can leave the towns and come to the interior of the empire.

And as reproduction continues, the half-breed with the thinnest bloodline in the empire should already be more than fifteen generations of half-blood.

You don't even feel any difference between this kind of hybrids and humans in ordinary daily life, they are just like ordinary people, with the same looks, the same words, the same hobbies, and no peculiar habits.

Of course, if the factors in these bloodlines are stimulated, they will also become half-bloods.

But how many such people are there in the empire? The empire does not have any family planning requirements, the vast continent is completely enough for human survival, and in order to conquer the entire continent, the empire is still encouraging early marriage and early childbearing, how many hybrids are hidden in the population in the whole empire?

This amount is probably enough to make people's scalps tingle, so only the Ministry of Supervision has a clear grasp of these data, and even the database of the mecha department does not have this kind of information.

But even if it is unlikely that a half-breed will be deported because of public opinion, there are still calls for a re-introduction of the half-race citizenship law, imposing particularly harsh restrictions on those who possess half-blood blood and may stimulate the ability to be mixed-blood.

For example, when the personal information is used in a public place, there will be a significant reminder to tell everyone around that this person is of mixed race.

For example, the demarcation of a dedicated half-breed living area, including a series of restrictions related to daily life, including place of residence, salary ceiling, job position, position height, purchase authority, etc., to ensure that the half-breed cannot come into contact with things that threaten humans.

Another example is the formulation of punishment regulations specifically for mixed-race races, and some people have even begun to draw up some relevant regulations, almost every one of which is the result of the death penalty, which is shocking.

"That's too much, isn't it? How else does this make people live? It's going to cause a riot! Lu Yuqi said while watching the news, feeling that the world was starting to go crazy, and kept complaining: "Are these people Shi Lezhi?" Such requests can be made. ”

The little girl who was eating cake next to her widened her eyes, looked at Lu Yuqi, listened to what she said, and didn't say anything.

Since the high priest's deeds and the entire imprisonment of the half-blood ability dispatch company were exposed, even the Three Thousand Academy was full of racist malice, and An Xiaoyu brought Ion to her home to live for a while for safety.

The little girl was soft and cute, and she was immediately loved by Lu Yuqi, so all the snacks were piled up in front of Ion, making her pampered.

She sat on the sofa, because of her height, she couldn't touch the ground with her calves, so she dangled there, holding a piece of cake and eating happily, which made Lu Yuqi's heart soft for a while: "You see that ions are so cute, how can anyone bear to say such things?" ”

An Xiaoyu rolled her eyes: "First of all, ion is not a half-blood, although others don't know, but you have to know that she is a pure-bred sea clan evolutionary." ”

"Secondly, you can't control what others say, and among those who speak out against mixed race, racists are just fueling the flames, and if there is no mass base, even reasonable statements will not be accepted, just as it took the empire ninety-nine years to establish the policy of establishing a country through science and technology."

"It's not because so many half-bloods want to rebel with the high priest and feel an existential crisis, don't you allow the empire to be restless?"

Lu Yuqi sighed: "That's right, if I die because of any friends and relatives, I will almost be with them." ”

With that, the topic is over.

After all, although Ion is not mixed-blood, it is still the target of public criticism, and An Xiaoyu is also a person directly involved in this matter, so it's not good to say too much, and An Xiaoyu will be annoyed if she says too much.

"Look at this!" Lu Yuqi continued to flip through the news, and after a while, he made a new discovery: "It is said that the number of mental illnesses in the empire has increased dramatically, and some suspected mental patients have suddenly appeared recently, and they are also contagious, and the hospital suspects that prions are at work." ”

"Is mental illness still contagious? It's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds. ”

Lu Yuqi read out word by word: "The first symptom was found in the ** community, when the family realized that the patient was mentally abnormal, the illness had already begun to spread through the patient's contact infection. To date, in just four days, a total of 157 cases have been detected in the Empire, with roughly similar symptoms. ”

"The early stage of the onset of symptoms is manifested as mental disability, inability to concentrate, accompanied by neurasthenia, insomnia, irritability and other symptoms; In the medium term, the symptoms of the disease can be confirmed as weakness of the limbs, muscle twitching, loss of some reason and thinking ability; In the later stage, he has depression and masochistic tendencies. ”

"At present, all patients have been uniformly admitted and studied by the imperial medical institutions, and I believe that a suitable solution will be found soon."

"The medical structure advises the residents of the imperial capital that the disease is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, please pay attention to the people you come into contact with in your daily life, and if you find the above early symptoms, please go to the hospital as soon as possible for examination and prevention."

An Xiaoyu was furious by Lu Yuqi: "If you read the news, you read the news, why are you looking at me?" ”

Lu Yuqi sneered: "You don't look at your state these days, your spirit is sluggish, your limbs are weak, you can't concentrate, who can't hold chopsticks with such a high level of cultivation when you eat in the morning?" ”

"You know the, I'm lazy!"

"It's the first time I've heard someone who says laziness so reasonably, it's worthy of you." Lu Yuqi arched his hand to express false admiration, and An Xiaoyu didn't care.

Regarding these news, An Xiaoyu didn't care, there has not been a single case found in the Three Thousand Academy, so her friends don't need to worry, the rest of the people, the family naturally has their own methods, and then they just want Lu Yuqi to not go out a few times a year.

Thinking of not going out, An Xiaoyu thought of Yi Sui and Yi Zhe, they have been living in the old mansion for many years, An Xiaoyu has had too many things to do recently and almost forgot to go to see them, it seems that he has to find a time to go, after all, he still owes the Yi family a promise, and it is not bad to follow the old man.

thought that these things had nothing to do with her, but soon, An Xiaoyu received a call from Xu Hewei and asked her to go to the 13th Hospital.

An Xiaoyu felt that his fate with the Third Hospital of the city had begun to get deeper and deeper, and he didn't know what Xu He was looking for to go to that kind of place for himself, did he make other people's stomachs bigger, and didn't dare to ask his family for money to have a baby?

After saying hello to Lu Yuqi and them, An Xiaoyu went out lazily, to be honest, no matter what happened, she really didn't want to care about it now, but Xu Hewei called over, and she was embarrassed to refuse directly, so she didn't even bring a knife and took a taxi to the hospital.

After arriving at the hospital, An Xiaoyu realized that it was really a trouble.

An entire floor of the 13th Hospital is now full of neurological patients, and when I walked in, I saw that the glass on the doors of the wards on both sides of the corridor had hit the barbed wire, and it was estimated that there was no time to change the tempered glass as an emergency measure, and inside these barbed wire, there were dancing patients.

An Xiaoyu sighed, sure enough, it was this trouble.

Xu Hewei came to An Xiaoyu's face, and at the same time Kong Shi and Guan Jue, Guan Jue is still the same old look, looking like a yin person anytime and anywhere, and smiled at An Xiaoyu: "I heard that you have been very honest recently?" ”

"I just wanted to be lazy, but you made me miserable." An Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, Xu He was a little embarrassed.

However, Guan Jue and Kong Shi both knew An Xiaoyu's urine, and they didn't care too much, so they took An Xiaoyu directly to the director's room on this floor, where there were two gray-haired old doctors looking at various data and discussing, all about nerves and viruses.

"I have never seen such a psychiatric disease transmitted directly from person to skin, even if it is a prion, if I really want to say it, I am more inclined to some nerve wave disorders, after all, human brain waves can interfere with each other."

"But why, according to you, did they get sick through physical contact? The diffusion range of nerve waves should be extremely wide, and in our research, the intensity of nerve waves will not be weakened beyond the range of five meters, so there is such a thing as a safe distance of five meters. ”

An Xiaoyu listened to the discussion between the two professors, and was a little speechless: "I'm a mecha learner, what are you asking me to come over for?" I don't know how to heal. ”

Xu Hewei said: "The people of the Oracle Academy said that it might be a problem with the divine soul. ”

"Well, that's possible." An Xiaoyu thought for a while and nodded, but when she looked up, she found that the entire room, including the two white-haired doctors, were looking at her, and she couldn't help but panic.

"I just said it was possible, but I didn't say it could be cured! I can't promise it! ”

"It's okay, it's possible, let's work together!"
