Chapter Ninety-Six: Paper Tigers and Ideals

Regarding Zhao Huasheng's request to "go to see Li Wei", the plasma life form was a little surprised: "I don't have any opinion on this, but I have some curiosity, what are you doing when you see Li Wei?" ”

Zhao Huasheng said calmly: "Just ...... It is thanks to her that I have seen the true face of human civilization clearly. ”

"Feel free to do so." The plasma lifeform said. Obviously, it is not at all interested in this kind of emotional entanglement between individual human beings. As a living being with only one gender, it has no interest in understanding this kind of thing too much.

"Before I go to see her...... I'm going to get a gift for her first. Zhao Huasheng said and walked out of the small courtyard, found the leader of the soldiers who protected his safety, and then said his request.

Zhao Huasheng quickly got what he wanted. It was a small bottle of glue, some cardboard, and some improvised tools like rulers and knives.

"What do you want to do?" The plasma lifeform asked with some confusion.

"Make a handmade model and give it to Li Wei. What exactly...... You'll find out soon. Zhao Huasheng said with a smile.

Zhao Huasheng crouched on the table and began to be busy. Zhao Huasheng first drew a rough pattern, and divided the patterns with lines, and then according to the instructions of the pattern, he began to cut the white cardboard one by one, and after cutting, he pasted the cardboard with glue.

Zhao Huasheng was busy for an hour. An hour later, Zhao Huasheng got a paper tiger.

This is indeed what a tiger looks like. It has stout and powerful limbs, a thick tail, and a body that matches the proportions of a real tiger. But no matter how you look at it. This paper tiger looks a little shabby. It doesn't even look like a tiger, because people can't detect the bloodthirsty and furious aura from it, but it resembles a kitten, which can make people feel cute and docile.

Zhao Huasheng was once very interested in the art of origami. So it's not too difficult to make such a handmade model.

"What is this?" The plasma lifeform asked. It watched the whole process of Zhao Huasheng's production of the model, and in the process, it did not perceive anything wrong. It can be 100% sure that this is just a mediocre model. But out of prudence, it decided that if Zhao Huasheng could not give a reasonable explanation for this. It will still choose to destroy this thing, and restrict Zhao Huasheng's next actions.

"Oh, it's a tiger." Zhao Huasheng took the model in his hand and looked at it carefully, while muttering: "There is an ancient tradition among our ethnic group, according to the different years of people's birth. Each person will have a different caste...... We call them the zodiac. Li Wei is a tiger, so I plan to give her a model tiger as a gift. ”

Hearing this explanation, the plasma life form was immediately relieved. It has survived on Earth long enough for it to know enough about some of the cultures in human civilization. It knew that everything Zhao Huasheng said was true.

The plasma lifeform accepted this explanation, but remained silent and did not speak. Zhao Huasheng casually put the tiger on the table, and then threw all the leftovers left over from making the model into the fire. Let them all be reduced to ashes. After that, Zhao Huasheng took the tiger out of the small courtyard and found the soldiers who were guarding him. conveyed to them his desire to meet Li Wei.

The soldier conveyed Zhao Huasheng's words to his superiors, and then quickly got a response. So a car drove over and took Zhao Huasheng to a prison an hour later. In the interrogation room with a thick iron fence in the middle where Meng Zhuo and Yuan Shou had been, Zhao Huasheng met Li Wei.

This was the first time Zhao Huasheng saw Li Wei after he began to carry out his plan and separated from Li Wei.

When he first met Li Wei, Zhao Huasheng lost his mind for a moment. Because Zhao Huasheng almost couldn't recognize the person standing in front of him. Roughly calculated. Zhao Huasheng has been separated from Li Wei for a few months, and it has only been a few months. It's not enough to turn a person upside down. But this level of change is in Li Wei.

Zhao Huasheng still remembered Li Wei's appearance, quiet. Tranquil, the one full of elegance and intellectuality. Now, Li Wei's face is haggard, her hair is unkempt, and her eyes are blank. Although she was not shackled or wearing a prison uniform, her whole body constantly exuded an aura of despair and darkness.

The prison life in the past few months has changed Li Wei a lot. And the source of all these changes comes from Zhao Huasheng and Zhao Huasheng's plan.

After a moment of distraction, Zhao Huasheng regained his composure. And the moment Li Wei saw Zhao Huasheng, there was also a momentary change. Their eyes crossed for a moment, and then there was a terrifying silence that almost suffocated.

Halfway, Li Wei's words broke the calm: "What are you looking for me for?" Come and see how miserable and depressed I am now, so that I can vent those resentments in your heart? ”

Li Wei's words were full of irony, Li Wei was like a delirious crazy woman at this moment, and her voice became sharp because she was too excited: "I hate it so much, I hate that I didn't avenge my brother, I hate that I didn't let you ruin your reputation." ”

Li Wei made a very good start to this conversation. Li Wei knew very well that Zhao Huasheng must have something very important when he came to find him, and this matter may even be related to the fate of human civilization, but at the same time, because of the plasma life form that was always monitoring Zhao Huasheng, Zhao Huasheng could not tell his demands in an ordinary way, but could only express it through hints and metaphors. So Li Wei continued to continue her previous identity and image, and next, it was time for Zhao Huasheng to speak.

Zhao Huasheng lowered his head and was silent. After a while, Zhao Huasheng said: "Li Wei, I hate everyone in this world, but I don't hate you." Although the stab you stabbed me in the back almost plunged me into the abyss and never be able to turn over, I still don't hate you. ”

Li Wei didn't know the meaning of Zhao Huasheng's words, so Li Wei didn't respond, but just smiled sarcastically.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you." Zhao Huasheng said silently, "The head of state has agreed to make a deal with me, and human civilization will be responsible for building a moon base for me." After the moon base is built, I will spend the rest of my life on the moon. So, this will be the last time we will meet, and after this meeting, I will let go of you completely, no longer love you, and I will not hate you. From now on, you are just a meaningless symbol to me, and your name and your appearance will not cause any ripples in my heart. ”

"This is my gift to you." Zhao Huasheng whispered, and put the tiger model in his hand on the table on Li Wei's side through the iron fence, "You belong to the tiger...... This tiger represents you to me. I made it with my own hands, and now, I will give it back to you, and I will give you back everything that belongs to you, and you will not leave anything left with me. ”

Li Wei sat silently on the iron chair and did not move. By now, Li Wei probably understood that the purpose of Zhao Huasheng's trip was to give this paper tiger to himself, and there must be a big secret hidden on this paper tiger. It is quite possible that the solution to the solar civilization's retaliation against human civilization lies on this paper tiger.

But precisely because it is so important, in order to avoid accidents, in order to avoid suspicion of plasma lifeforms, Li Wei has to behave more naturally.

"I didn't leave anything with you in the first place." Li Wei said indifferently, "So, you don't have to give this tiger to me." It doesn't make sense. ”

"Take it." Zhao Huasheng shook his head and sighed: "It should be to fulfill one of my wishes." This is a ritual for me, a ritual to say goodbye to you once and for all. It doesn't make sense to you, but it does to me. In exchange, I can give you back your freedom and get you back to where you want to work and live. ”

"Okay." Li Wei said directly, "Deal." ”

"Goodbye, then. No, never again. Zhao Huasheng said with a smile, his eyes kept looking at Li Wei: "Go ahead, still live according to your trajectory, and still study the things you are interested in about optical instruments...... You have told me that your dream is to create the most powerful, cohesive, and luminous laser emitter in the human world...... So, here, I wish you in advance to realize your ideals. ”

Li Wei originally worked in the High Energy Laser Research Laboratory of the Institute of Optics under the Central Academy of Sciences. This is Li Wei's profession, and the "Li Wei's ideal" mentioned by Zhao Huasheng also sounds very logical and in line with Li Wei's work and knowledge. But whether it is Li Wei or Zhao Huasheng, they all remember very clearly that Li Wei never told Zhao Huasheng that his ideals were these things, and he never mentioned them.

But Li Wei still acquiesced to this matter. Li Wei nodded lightly, and then said, "Thank you." ”

After receiving this response, Zhao Huasheng turned around, did not hesitate at all, and did not look back at Li Wei again. Zhao Huasheng left the prison like this, and then came to the front of the convoy and said, "Send me back." (To be continued)
