"Ahh I'm a little embarrassed, but I really want to say, do you think you're like a 'parasite' in its body? ———Alas, don't hit me! I'm just making an analogy, don't be angry that I'm too direct! "There is no more apt example of this humiliating parable.

"Yes, we are 'parasitic', but we also contribute! If it weren't for the endless flower pedicles we provide it with every day, it wouldn't be able to synthesize chlorophyll, and it wouldn't be able to complete photosynthesis and produce oxygen. ”

said that he was not angry, but Hai Xiaolou's defense was still full of grievances and indignation, as if he had been deeply misunderstood, hurt his self-esteem, and touched the bottom line, and refuted the book's "take it for granted" with extreme sourness.

"Alright! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I don't mean to look down on you, I just want to find a metaphor for certain relationships that is easy for humans to understand, and choose the wrong example! Sorry sorry, I'm not malicious, really, I'm human myself, aren't I? How could I have the heart to humiliate myself? Wouldn't I have a brain disease in that case? All right! Don't be angry, okay? Come on, have a laugh? ”

Shu Kang didn't expect Hai Xiaolou's reaction to be so big, so he felt that his joke had been made, he was not familiar with himself, and he didn't quite understand that this was just an ordinary joke, not a "coffin closure" of "going on the platform", don't be so serious.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, the last time I came here, the person who set a fire ended up miserable, do you know?" Hai Xiaolou suddenly lowered his voice very seriously and reminded the book.

"Really? Who is it? What kind of end? Shu Kang couldn't help but start to get half serious and asked.

"He didn't have a name, and no one knew him, except that he smoked a cigarette here, and then threw a match into the ground, and then the whole ground became a sea of fire, and he didn't even have time to leave his name, and he was burned clean." Hai Xiaolou's voice trembled slightly and said the story of that person, as if he had witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

In fact, at that time, he was indeed at the scene, and he was very close to this person, but he was too young at that time, and he was playing with a few friends, and suddenly saw that in the maze where they played every day, a man dressed in black appeared, with long hair, and the bangs on his forehead covered half of his face, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"There's a weirdo there!" The little friend who first found the man in black pointed at the man and shouted.

Several other friends, including the children's version of Hai Xiaolou, also looked at the "strange man", the man had two slender legs, very tall and strong, dressed in pure black, until he lit a cigarette and lit the lighter close to his mouth, only half of his face was illuminated by the firelight, and, in that second, at the same time, there seemed to be a very strange look in his eyes, because there were too many white eyes, and he couldn't figure out whether he was staring at these children to deliberately scare these children. Still looking for something else on the ceiling with both eyes.

The ensuing fire frightened the children into hugging each other, and they saw through the gap between their elbows that the strange man was killed by one of their own matches that had fallen to the ground without being extinguished.

The fire did not spread, because the burned places here were all quickly wrapped and digested by a thick membrane, except for the surface of the retracted wall, there was still a black shadow sealed inside, it took less than an hour, here, back to its usual appearance, the maze was still open as usual, and the children were still allowed to climb in and out, jumping up and down.

"But, this time I also set it on fire, and it's much more powerful than his cigarette butts, so why is it okay?" The book asked puzzled.

"Since that time, the algae cow has been very sick, and it has stopped producing oxygen for a long time, and there is less and less oxygen for people to breathe here, and it is about to become extinct. At this moment, a new species was stationed here, and only one cell was injected, but it was able to divide and divide again, and quickly repaired all the injured muscles, nerves, and nutrient transmission channels here, and restored its oxygen-producing function. Then, people went through the most difficult times and returned to the normal order of life. And 'no fire' has become a new rule here, and there has never been a single artificial spark in the country, and all the lighting is cold. Moreover, the amount of oxygen in this section of the labyrinth, due to the particularity of the structure, is especially lower than that of other pore chambers, and it is not easy to be accidentally burned, even if it is like you burn today, it can only scorch its surface, and the deep water content is more than 99%, not an extremely high temperature fire and sufficient oxygen, there can never be such a big fire here to be ignited. Hai Xiaolou introduced a "historical disaster" and "post-fire rectification" here very carefully.

"How can you know so well? What happened when you were old? Shu Kang asked with interest.

"Because, the current lord of the country is my father. That year, I was only 5 years old. Hai Xiaolou seems to be very reluctant to say his identity as the "second generation of officials".

"It turned out to be the crown prince! Disrespectful, disrespectful! Shu Kang began to ridicule this Hai Xiaolou with some personality.

"What prince is not very son, do you think this is a royal family? It's a very, very democratic place, everybody is equal, and me, my father, every human being who comes here, it's the same. Hai Xiaolou is so disgusted that he calls him like this, and even the basic social system here has to popularize common sense.

"Alright! You've said so much, I'm a question mark in my head, and I want to know more things, but don't you think we should change to a better place and sit down and talk slowly, instead of chatting like this, in mid-air, up and down? Shu Kang felt that his limbs were starting to stiffen a little because of the long stillness, so he made a suggestion to continue to act.

"Good! Then this time, you go first, and I break back. Hai Xiaolou had a long memory and changed his strategy.

"Okay, follow me!" Shu Kang took out a "home" posture and quickly started the second half of the climb upward.
