Chapter 1037 The Disaster of Innocence Idle anecdotes
Smith. Zhou completely relied on his own preferences to put the ulterior truth behind this disaster that shook the world directly in front of everyone. And on the other side of such a truth, all those who saw everything he said fell into unimaginable confusion.
Some people couldn't believe what he was saying, and they took it as a lie. And that's what makes them interested in Smith. Zhou's presence generated great hostility.
And some people believed him, which made them feel emotional about the government's explanation. They felt cheated and began to challenge the government. And in the midst of this kind of trouble, all kinds of museums have become their first targets.
Compared with ancient historical relics and precious classics, the safety of one's own life is the one that everyone is more concerned about. If the lives of yourself and your family are threatened because of some cultural relics that have nothing to do with you, then no matter what the origin of the cultural relics is, how valuable they are, they are absolutely not allowed to exist.
It can be said that since Smith. After Zhou said that on a talk show, museums in the United States, Europe, and various historic museums came under pressure from different sides. There were demonstrations organized by the people, orders from the big companies behind them, and pressure from the government. These pressures are unbearable for any museum. Under such pressure, the museum had no choice but to begin to return these cultural relics to their birthplace one after another.
However, they are willing to send it, but those people in the country of origin may not be willing to accept it. In addition to China, which did not refuse to come, Egypt was the only country that expressed its willingness to accept these returned cultural relics to a limited extent. As for the cultural relics that intersect between European and American countries, they are completely caught in a state of rip-off.
If it is just some art paintings with a mysterious nature, it is better to say that those that are themselves mythological relics, or all kinds of things of a religious nature, are completely rejected from the door.
This kind of rivalry not only caused chaos in the collecting world, but also made the people of various countries full of hostility. And as the initiator of everything, Smith. Zhou disappeared without anyone knowing.
Of course, it cannot be said that it has disappeared without a trace. Because if he really wanted to, the Heavenly Hammer Bureau could still contact him. At the same time, he can be found by other people, such as Alexia. Another example, Captain Hydra Steve. Rogers.
In a small town in the North Indian region, Steve. Rogers sat in a street seat.
He was well-dressed and held a thick book in his hand. In this town, which is generally full of dirty lower-caste Indians, he looks so dazzling. But he looked at ease, and he didn't worry about being recognized at all.
He certainly didn't need to worry about anything. Because it's a place that's almost impossible to be monitored by modern technology. No one is going to pay attention to this poor, backward and conservative place. Not to mention the agents of the Sky Hammer Bureau, even if it is a smart machine that has been promoted to the whole world, it is difficult to insert a step into it under its conservative and superstitious atmosphere.
Staying in this place, as long as you don't make too much noise, it's basically impossible to be discovered. And Steve was only here for a meeting, so naturally he couldn't make any big moves.
Almost early in the morning, he sat here. In the middle of the process, he sent a group of begging children, a few idle half-grown youths who wanted to steal things, and a group of men who were chattering at you to sell useless products. It wasn't until three o'clock in the day, near noon, that Smith. Zhou Cai walked over from Youzai, and then sat down beside him.
"You're late. You're two hours late compared to your appointment! ”
When he said this, the look on Steve's face didn't fluctuate much, but Smith. Zhou could still understand the anger contained in his words. This made him grin, and then explained to him as he put his arm around Steve's shoulder.
"You know, if I want to be here, then I can come here in a split second. And since I didn't show up on time, it only means that I was held back by something. ”
"You're going to be dragged down?" When he asked this, Steve's voice was noticeably raised. Obviously, he didn't believe Smith. This interpretation of the week. "Did you meet Zhou Yi? Or did you see Mephisto come back from the dead, and then you were forced to talk to him for a while? ”
"Please, your words are mean!"
Although he was ridiculed, Smith. The smile on Zhou's face didn't change at all. He looked at the group of yellow-skinned, old-fashioned, almost refugee-like Indians around him, and smiled at Steve with a smug look on their faces.
"You know what? The people in this country are interesting. If you are serious, it should be the only country in the world that has obvious class division. I came here more than a thousand years ago, and this is what it is, and I came here more than a thousand years later, and it's still like this. It hasn't changed at all, including the way people feel about it. Do you know what that means? ”
What does this mean? Is it necessary to have a connection with you being late? ”
Steve asked rhetorically, and in the face of his rhetorical question, Smith. Zhou Ke smiled slightly and continued.
"So be it. I'll tell you an interesting story, and one of the things I saw on the road. When I was having dinner with Alexia yesterday, I gave one of the skinny kids, who looked like they were just adults, a bill as a tip. I wanted to give him another one this morning, but I didn't see the kid this morning. I thought he had changed shifts or something. But the waiter next to me gave me such an answer. ”
They called the boy lucky and said in small talk that it was because I gave him a bill as a tip. He doesn't have to work here, he can go and live happily for a while. Seriously, I'm wondering if I didn't write him a check worth millions. A $100 bill, which has depreciated, is at most two or three hours of hard money in any developed city. Is it necessary to be as outrageous as they say? ”
"With this curiosity, and the fact that it was still early in the time I had agreed with you, I stopped by to see the child's condition. Just like those waiters said, he is really living a happy life as enjoying life. Playing cricket, pickling girls. You may not be able to imagine that even a hundred dollars in bills, he spent a million. It can even be said that many millionaires may not be as comfortable as him. ”
"Does that mean anything?" Frowning at himself, Steve looked at Smith. Zhou Fa asked. He didn't understand Smith at all. What did Zhou just say meant? And for his doubts, Smith. Zhou just patted him on the shoulder, and then said to him seriously.
This shows that this young man is very content. And he's really just a microcosm of the country. You may not believe it, but I will tell you that there is a huge percentage of Indians like this young man who are willing to have fun in time. ”
"They rarely want to think about anything else, whether it's the future or whatever, it's too far away for them. They only care about the present, and they only think about having fun in time. And at this point, the Indians can be said to have reached the limit. Not everyone can hold a hundred dollars in bills and live as if they had a million-dollar fortune. For them, even if tomorrow is the deepest hell, as long as I can have a good time today, then everything will be fine. As for tomorrow, that's naturally something that needs to be considered tomorrow. ”
"What do you think of such an attitude for humanity as a whole?"
"Terrible!"
Smith. As soon as Zhou asked, Steve immediately gave his own answer. And his answer obviously can't be just two words. So soon, he added.
"I think it's a mind-numbing, a state that's almost as terrible as taking too many drugs. There's nothing wrong with being optimistic, but as you say, it's a big mistake to not even think about tomorrow a little bit far-farther away, and only care about having fun in time. I don't even think about my own future, what is the difference between human life and animal life. Just because of a small profit, you can leave behind the job that guarantees your own life. Is this stupid? Or is it ideological ignorance? ”
"I can say that just by your description, I can think about the future of this child. He must have no future to speak of. Because he doesn't have that kind of thing in his own eyes. That's true today, and he'll still be like this in the future. Even in the past few decades, I'm afraid he will still have nothing. And if such an attitude towards life appears in the entire human race, then I can only say that the human race is probably not too far from extinction! ”
"You're right!" Nodding, Smith. Zhou agreed with Steve's analysis. Then he asked. "So do you know what caused this outcome?"
Steve hasn't given an answer yet, Smith. Zhou himself was already talking to himself.
"I'm telling you, it's all because of religion. When I came here more than a thousand years ago, it was still under the rule of the Kushan Kingdom. And when I returned more than a thousand years later, it was the end of colonial rule and the beginning of a new era. On the surface, there are only two things that haven't changed! ”
"One is the guy I just told you about. And then there's the religion here! ”
