Chapter 18 Choice and Waiver
"Horn—"
"Horn—"
"Woo~~"
Two short horns and sirens outside interrupted the small talk between the two men.
Wang Hu also stopped at the right time to talk about the ancients, because the timing of the appearance of the police car was too coincidental - this couldn't help but make him suspect that it was the local host Tateina who reminded him not to say too much to Zhang Xue, especially the "Modern History" part!
The host can hide behind history and influence the course of the world, and there must be corresponding means.
And this is not surprising, because the biggest problem is that the host constitution is very different from the current laws of the earth, or even completely opposite!
It uses the most powerful means to ensure that there is income from labor, not income from rights!
Under the credit currency system, whether you are a high-ranking official or a financial tycoon, a real estate speculator or an Internet upstart, any rentier class will fall into the dust at this stage of stepping into the universe;
On the contrary, people like Yuan Da Druid, people who silently plant grass and trees in the Northwest, real environmentalists, real laborers and creators like urban cleaners, teachers, etc., will be greatly compensated in the process of integration.
Once this is clear, will the elite still "lead" the people of the globe into space?
So this "surprise" must wait until that day to be revealed.
However, this point is that Tateingo is a little too worried, and Wang Hu has dealt with a bad situation similar to "revealing the secret in advance" many times, and he is clear about the complexity of it.
……
"I'll deal with it, stay in the room and don't come out." Wang Hu said to Zhang Xue.
The police of the United States are the most fragile in the world, shouting "I feel that my life is threatened" at every turn, and then pulling the trigger. The European police are not inferior to their counterparts in the United States, and they don't like to pull the trigger here, but the corruption is much more serious. Paying for money to handle cases and extorting tips has become commonplace, and harassment of women has recently become popular......
"Excuse me, officer." Wang Hu walked out and asked at the door.
"Homicide investigation." Two policemen stepped out of the car, and the young man pressed his hand on the handle of the gun with his waist in his hand, his eyes fixed on Wang Hu. Another elderly police officer walked up to Wang Hu, first lazily showing his police ID card, then taking out a photo and pasting it in front of Wang Hu.
The male in the photo, a Middle Easterner, looks seventeen or eighteen years old in the photo, with curly hair, which he saw last night......
"Have you ever seen this person? His name was Leopold. ”
"Nope." Wang Hu shook his head honestly.
The middle-aged police officer on the opposite side had a calm face, completely unmoved, and the curtain of the eyelids was contemptuous. "The other day Leopold told some of his buddies that they were going to trouble you, and they got a couple of guns. As a result, his body was found in the woods yesterday, less than a kilometer from your residence, and you said it had nothing to do with you? ”
"Yes, it has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything about it." Wang Hu replied expressionlessly.
Wang Hu rarely tells lies directly, unless the other party is hostile - the policeman in front of him is!
From the moment he got out of the car, Wang Hu felt Chi Guoguo's hostility from him. Wang Hu was sensitive, and although the policeman did a good job of disguising his hostility as discrimination—or both—Wang Hu easily confirmed this in terms of heart rate, gland secretion, etc.
For people who have a preset position, any face and speech will be useless.
Because he is already an enemy, being affable will not improve the situation, but will make him hate you even more. Therefore, Wang Hu did not go around in circles but directly denied it, since he was an enemy, he naturally let the other party have as little information as possible.
"Leopold's cause of death is defined as suicide by swallowing a gun, but I don't believe it, I'll keep looking into it, it's just the beginning......" After asking a few more questions, the old policeman who didn't get any useful information closed his notebook, and another young policeman opened the car door first.
Before leaving, "I'll keep an eye on you!" The old policeman pointed to his eyes and said coldly to Wang Hu.
Wang Hu stood on the stone steps in front of the door expressionlessly. The old policeman lowered his voice and said, "Listen, Chinese, there are some residents who asked me to tell you that they do not welcome you in this community, you better move out by yourself!" You know I have a way to get you in trouble! ”
……
"Remember I gave you a chance!" Before the police car left, the old policeman shouted at Wang Hu through the window again.
Wang Hu still stood on the stone steps and watched, watching him say nothing.
That gaze was a little hairy...... The old policeman patted the car door in disappointment, as long as Wang Hu resisted just now, he had a reason to arrest Wang Hu and lock him up for 24 hours! But Wang Hu didn't react at all when he listened to it from beginning to end, and he didn't even change his expression.
"Made", seeing that even the last provocation had no effect, the old policeman retracted into the car stupidly, and the police car started.
"Who are they? What happened? What a bad attitude of the police! Zhang Xue stood at the door and asked, "Wang Hu, are you racist?" I can find Ambassador Liu and find the media to expose them! Zhang Xue said angrily.
"Nothing...... Zhang Xue: Do you know? When I first moved here 10 years ago, it was actually very popular. People in the community ask me to take care of the kids who run out into the woods to play, and I earn a lot of tips by helping people fix the roof.
However, with the influx of refugees after '06, especially the area in the center of the clay district (with a middle-class community of single-family homes on the periphery and a blue-collar community in the center) being set as a resettlement site, the proportion of residents has changed considerably in the past decade.
Most of the old residents have moved away, and now this community is deeply religiously divided, and many people dare not speak out, but I am just an innocent person who has been affected, and the focus of the conflict is not on me...... But it is not excluded that some people want to do something through me, after all, the election is coming again. ”
Wang Hu said indifferently.
"But you don't need to put up with this, I can mobilize public opinion to help you ......" Zhang Xue suddenly remembered something, and the words changed, "You can't lose confidence in the people of the earth because of this, in fact, there are still many good people on our earth!" ”
Wang Hu,...... Girl, do you have a hole in your head?
You're really one step away from psychosis.
"I won't, and I want you to stop thinking of me as an alien. I've lived here for more than 10 years, I'm happy, please treat me like a local. "Identity comes with responsibility, especially at a time when a crisis is approaching the planet.
It is true that he can maintain his transcendent identity by continuing to be an alien, but Wang Hu does not care about fulfilling the responsibilities of an earthling.
"Also, don't be superstitious about the power of the media, really. The media is like a...... If you are important to her, she is important, and if you are not important, she is worthless. This is not a quote from me, it is a famous quote from some people. Wang Hu relayed the complaints of Sanlatin, and he felt that it made sense, especially on the earth in this era. Discrimination is not a law, it is not binding in essence except for a condemnation, and you really think it is discrimination? ”
"What is not discrimination?" Zhang Xue was at a loss.
Wang Hu spread his hands, this is too complicated to continue lazily.
In short, he thinks that it is discriminatory against African-Americans, but there are Chinese and Russians in a powerful country behind them...... Not necessarily.
Discrimination was not completely eliminated until the end of the empire.
In the Age of Interstellar Discovery, the yellow people with the talent of "careful calculation" showed amazing efficiency, and the pace of great development could be rolled on all the time! The "exploitative colonization" of the East has left the "predatory colonization" of the West far behind, and the status of the race has naturally been turned upside down!
And in the end, it seems that the same people who are still shouting racism and trying to share food from other people's bowls are still the same people before......
Hence the political saying, "The same population, some are the labor force, and others are just statistics." ”
The ability is to look at others for yourself, and now whatever you look at, you still have to rely on yourself to change.
*****
That little thug committed suicide last night?
Before entering the door, Wang Hu turned his head and glanced in the direction of the woods.
"I have 12 euros in my wallet, you can take it if you want." Wang Hu remembers saying this at the time, behaving like any adult who has been robbed but still keeps his senses.
Give money, don't get in trouble.
"Ha, who are you trying to fool the Chinese guys? Who here doesn't know you have a lot of money in your pocket! You've just sold your truck and ordered a meal for 9,999 euros! Damn, you have more money to eat than I've ever seen in my life, and you say you don't have any money? 200,000 euros! I only need 200,000 euros for your life! The kid said viciously, brandishing his gun.
"Otherwise I'll kill you, I really do what I say! You know I'm a minor, you understand that I can do anything, and I'm going to make a big deal before I reach adulthood! Either take the money and fly away, or go in for a few years, but it's a good deal, isn't it? It's a great deal! ”
Indeed, in today's European conscience country, there are guns, immigrants, and minors, and it is almost doomed that even if he kills, he will only be punished lightly, and he will not even need to go to prison.
The thug became more and more excited, the barrel of his gun swayed, and the fingers on the trigger were even slightly spasmodic, and even Wang Hu, an experienced soldier, couldn't guess when the shot would go off...... The words revealed that Wang Hu did not let go at all, no matter whether he could get the money or not, he would kill people today!
These damn Germans can't keep a little secret!
Selling a car and ordering a meal involve two different groups of people, but the information is synthesized by a thug, and it is clear that the news has spread everywhere...... The German man drank alcohol, and his mouth was even more broken than that of our community aunt.
"Give money, give me money! Come on! The muzzle of the trembling gun was about to poke at the door of Wang Hu's head.
"Alas~ remember next time, the most important thing is to keep your distance." As soon as Wang Hu's hand moved, the gun fell into his hand. Then he slapped his right hand into the thug's abdomen, and the thug retched and collapsed.
Wang Hu didn't dare to use his fists, for fear of beating people to death!
This is not the time to make a difference.
"Come, grab your gun, I think we can have a good talk." Wang Hu shoved the pistol back into the thug's hand and carried him into the hut.
He didn't think that the thug had a gun in his hand was a threat to him, and the thug obviously thought the same way, he looked helplessly at the world outside the door, and suddenly understood what despair was.
However, Wang Hu didn't do anything to him, it's true!
Wang Hu just opened up the psychological counseling mode of the human history system, using a plain way that the gangsters could understand and the dialect of his hometown, full of slang from religious beliefs to family status, from parenting to social experience.
Because the topic touched the soul, the little gangster even cried several times in the middle of the way, and he listened thoroughly.
And accept the reality that he is social garbage......
After the conversation, Wang Hu let him go.
After swearing to all the gods not to divulge Wang Hu's information, the thugs left the forest hut with their guns.
"There was a 45% chance that he would have continued to mess around with business as usual; 25% are likely to try to change and go to vocational training; There is a 17% chance that they will completely change their minds and move away; There is less than an 8% chance of choosing suicide, but he chose this path......"
[Because it's easiest to give up]
The "Death" system quietly pops up a prompt.
