October 3, 363 Water Day

The ghost in my ear, he's screaming at me all the time!

I was so scared that even if I poured myself alcohol in a bar full of people, 'he' could still wake me up in my sleep!

Daisy. The pills prescribed by Dr. Boyle didn't work for me, they didn't work at all, and she seemed to be panicking, facing so many patients that there was no cure.

Tommy has now been released from the hospital and spends his days in the bar......

Terry too......

I've never seen Terry's frightened eyes, he used to be so optimistic and full of jokes, but now he is like a zombie, withered and glazed-eyed.

I think I must be like them.

……

The dark sky, the glare of the sun, the thin atmosphere of the planet's surface, in an environment almost indistinguishable from a vacuum, these greedy wealth owners have built such a closed base for living and working.

Interests, everything is for the sake of interests, endless interests, and beyond that, what else can there be?

Pioneering, creating, inheriting; tenacity, hard work, hard work; Chance, coincidence, luck.

Who, no matter who, no matter what means, they almost unsurprisingly have a choice after they have acquired all the vast wealth that they can enjoy for themselves or for future generations.

Bigger, taller, more beautiful, more.

This is almost a necessity in behavioral consciousness, a curse written in the human genes. And it is precisely this unambiguous spell that extends, changes, and evolves in human ethics and social interaction, and even becomes the only driving force for the entire society to move forward.

From microbes to reptiles, from apes to humans, to becoming the sole ruler of the entire planet, after a destruction that is still unclear, what have awakened for hundreds of years? What has changed?

Is the source of any kind of greatness of human beings only comes from their own indelible desires?

For this question, Lucas. Taylor was puzzled and still hasn't found an answer.

The huge force field dome stretched into the distance with an imperceptible arc, and in his eyes, these artificial barriers that should be transparent separating life and death had a faint color of blood.

Maybe it's because of the sunlight, or maybe it's a phase field that blocks harmful rays, he said to himself.

Unemotional, concise, he is accustomed to thinking in his head, judging in his heart, and finally drawing his own conclusions, and giving up on them.

He knew he was different, and he knew that unlike Joanna's child's early autism, this inner monologue lifestyle was a quirk that could be completely transformed, but he chose never to change, because at the end of the day, he knew exactly what he was missing.

Desire may be the source of all troubles.

He constantly reminded himself of this.

He was annoyed by the ambiguous officialdom of several of the base's leaders, and Lucas had already judged that their sympathy for his brother's unexplained disappearance was not from the heart, and that these slick and bureaucratic professional managers had apparently taken this unwarranted turn of events as a nuisance, and they had sent a guy in charge of the contract to talk to him about the terms of the bereavement compensation when Steven's life and death were unknown.

Leaving behind the politicians and greeting the head of the investigation team, Lucas excused himself from the seventh-story reception room of the administrative building, wanting to see for himself what his brother described as "paradise" in the few videos of his family.

The first was the border, and a short walk along the metal path was already at the edge of the mining base, and Lucas reached out to touch the double-layer force field wall that was almost half a little as thick as Ternner, and only felt that the touch in his hand was like some kind of rough porcelain. He narrowed his eyes and peered out from behind the transparent force field at a planet that was so barren that even mountains, dirt, and even air were scarce.

Lucas knew that the planet orbiting the star Dionysus was small, only slightly larger than the moon Helios of the Pop Star, and that it was like an inconspicuous pebble in the mountains compared to the huge planet Calypso with its five-colored rings in the same galaxy.

But it is such a planet that has never been paid attention to for hundreds of years and is on the absolute edge of the Yinmeng's power, but after discovering a large number of acetisovskite deposits on it, it has become a sweet spot for the two largest chaebols of the Yinmeng. And it is precisely because of the distance that the relative working and living environment is difficult, and under the premise of the lack of a fixed contract colonist, Steven, who has soft ears, is bewitched and embarks on a road of no return.

Lucas remembers the day Steven announced that he was going to Cadmus, and he tried to stop it, only to be left speechless by his brother and his father. And now my mother washes her face with tears at home every day, and although the brothers don't say anything, they can see that they are blaming their father for agreeing with Steven's bad idea.

For the youngest brother in the family, Lucas, like Joanna and all his brothers, loves and cares for him, but also has a headache for his willful and troublesome character.

Because of his youngest age, little Steven, who is favored and humble, has shown his side as a demon king since he was a child.

Wide range of hobbies, dabbling in a lot, and smart, but just no longevity, learning everything halfway, reckless and competitive during school, not tall, not much strength, but he likes to be strong, fight for others, and make the same school not much older than him Andrew. Taylor always had to suffer injuries in order to save him.

Steven didn't seem to care about this, but became more and more arrogant as he grew older, and was later ordered to be expelled from the school because of his bravery, and because of his notoriety, no school would accept him, so he dropped out of school early and went home to help on the farm.

As the saying goes, eating a trench grows wisdom, but it is useless for this stubborn Steven, he is still the same as before during the help of the family farm, sleeping late, and likes to point fingers at everything in addition to idleness, and after not too much, he simply does not say hello, and runs with people to work in the Better of Tomorrow company in Junwu City, and then runs back after less than a year, saying some excuses and nonsense such as 'you can't learn anything in the rotten factory'.

The older you get, the less sensible you become.

That's what Lucas said about Steven a few years ago.

Of course, he didn't talk to his brother about it, but he was worried about it.

He was always used to keeping everything to himself.
