"That six-fingered professor named Shi Yin told me a few stories." Gu Lan organized the language while trying to recall, "It's basically about how humans and the six fingers got to where they are today. ”

"Oh." Yuan Sui nodded expressionlessly, "I guess many things are completely different from our feelings from their point of view." What do they say? Do you think that the humans who didn't take advantage of the danger of people and directly destroyed them, the group of alien visitors who brought disaster, were quite kind? Or is it stupid? ”

"Judging from my contact with them over the years, the six fingers as a whole are not a species that likes to speak cool words." There was a subtle embarrassment in Gu Lan's smile, "Even a large part of them currently have some kind of sympathy for the human condition...... Well, to be more accurate, Six Fingers' hostility is more directed at us gifted ones, and their attitude towards humans has always been justified. You may have also heard that in recent years, more and more humans have chosen to live with them. ”

"What is this? Do you repay virtue with virtue? Yuan Sui raised his eyebrows, "Because we didn't exterminate them back then, they are now willing to let humans live?" Quite reasonable. ”

"Maybe it's because they've suffered enough from war." Gu Lan sighed softly, not noticing Tong Bi'an's slightly unhappy expression on the side, "Although I don't know much about this aspect...... But when I was a student at their special education school for the gifted, I learned a little bit about their history. ”

"Oh, I've heard a few of them in military school." Yuan Sui picked up a slice of potato slices cooked by the six-fingered chef, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, before throwing it into his mouth and chewing it casually, swallowing it and then raising his chin, "Go on, I'll listen." ”

"Their planet was destroyed by war. Within the first half of the war, the population had been reduced to one-tenth of what it had been. "The volume and density of their planets are slightly smaller than our Earth's, but the composition of the atmosphere and crust is basically the same. If you look at them as humans on that planet, then the six fingers have a similar evolutionary trajectory to ours. After they arrived on Earth, they spent a lot of effort to compare the similarities and differences between our two planets, covering biology, history, geography, culture, science and technology, etc...... In the end, the conclusion is that apart from the fact that human civilization is about a hundred years ahead of us in terms of technology, human civilization bears a striking resemblance to their past history, and that the flora, fauna, and minerals on the earth are not too beyond their comprehension. ”

After listening to this long paragraph, Yuan Sui and Tong Bi'an gave completely different reactions.

"Oh, that's only a hundred years away." This is the center of Yuan Sui's attention.

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Tong Bi'an expressed his doubts.

Before Gu Lan could answer, Yuan Sui glanced at him deeply, and smiled mysteriously: "It's just survivor deviation in another sense." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Meaning, if a race that looks like us basically doesn't have any resemblance to us comes to Earth...... For example, in the past, there were often soft-skin monsters with big heads, big eyes, and two heads in science fiction movies. It is estimated that from the very beginning, we and the other party will perfectly interpret what it means to look at each other and hate each other. What kind of softness is that, seeing that kind of ugly thing, I am definitely the first to rush forward and make them all abrupt, it is impossible to have the love and hatred of the following decades......"

"You also know that love and hatred have lasted for decades, and the first one to rush up will definitely not be your turn, your grandparents are about the same." Tong Bi'an corrected it strictly.

"Don't be picky, I'll just give you an example." Yuan Sui waved his hand, and his eyes revealed a little bit of superiority unique to "cultural people", "In other words, it is precisely because of the premise that we and Six Fingers have a similar appearance that it is possible for us to live together in a state of almost non-interference with each other for decades." Assuming that in the past 100 years, a total of 100 alien races outside the galaxy have had to leave their homes and seek refuge on other planets, then it is possible to live in harmony with the aborigines of another planet, and it may be the only race that looks like the aborigines, such as Six Fingers. Human beings happen to be the lucky ones who are similar to the six fingers, so we have the opportunity to sit here and discuss philosophical issues, not the other way around. Do you understand? ”

"I, I'll brush it again......" Tong Bi'an's expression was a little frustrated.

"Okay, you think slowly, Sister Gu and I will continue." Yuan Sui blew on the edge of the bowl containing a small half bowl of soup, and made a "please" gesture at Gu Lan.

"Oh good." Gu Lan paused, "Wait a minute, where did we talk about before?" ”

"Let's give you a rough overview of how the Six Fingers were destroyed and how they arrived at us after a long interstellar journey." Yuan Sui picked up the bowl and poured a big mouthful directly, licking his lips to affirm, "The taste is actually okay, there is a feeling of learning a standard dish from a food tutorial." ”

"Twenty days after the start of the war, half of the land was scorched, and two-thirds of the water was polluted with an unrepurposed nature. A month later, in order to end the endless attrition as soon as possible, the belligerents were the first to use the highest level of weapons at that time, which directly led to a huge drift of one plate, half of the country sank to the bottom of the sea in three days, and the other half rose an average altitude of two hundred meters in seven days. Gu Lan mechanically recounted the appalling figures, "After about two months, the remaining six fingers finally realized that even an immediate truce would not be able to stop their planet from being destroyed. They have no other way than interstellar travel and uniting to find a new home. ”

"Very educational story." Yuan Sui commented without saltiness, "It is especially suitable for writing in the textbooks of military schools to set an example." lest we in the future not learn our lessons. ”

"Personally, I feel that most of the Six Fingers hate war even more than we do." Knowing in his heart that saying such things from his own position might arouse some suspicion, Gu Lan's tone was a little cautious, "To a large extent, the hostility of the Six Fingers towards the gifted is also related to their belief that we will eventually ignite a new flame of war. ”

"What kind of are you talking about?" Tong Bi'an rejoined the discussion, "Why are you sometimes so naïve like some ordinary people who are greedy for life and afraid of death? Without the existence of the gifted, ordinary humans are just little sheep at the mercy of foreign butchers. Will you feel pity for the dishes on your plate? They don't dare to touch us now, and even pretend to be polite to some of us, isn't it just to cause humanity to split from within, so that they can chop up the wolf claws of the gifted ones a little bit? ”

"But ......"

"You have obviously suffered losses for so many years under the hands of Six Fingers, why are you stupid to help them speak." Tong Bi'an's dissatisfaction has been obvious, "Why, it's only been a few years, and the scar has forgotten the pain?" It seems that the little white-faced professor has really poured you a lot of ecstasy soup. ”

"Tong Bi'an" Gu Lan was so excited that she almost stood up directly, but her shoulder was held down by a hand that was trying to pull it over.

"Okay, it was okay just now, why did you two start to make trouble inexplicably when you mentioned this matter." Yuan Sui made a persuasion, "Is there any point in winning and losing?" It is impossible for Six Fingers to issue a friendship for whitewashing, and we will not beat because of a few passionate words, what are you two doing here with blushing faces and thick necks? Are elementary school students who experience the atmosphere of the debate tournament? There is no shame in losing people. ”

"I don't care." Tong Bi'an hugged his hand and turned his head, "Every time I look at her picture of being bought and helping to count the money, I get angry." ”

"Then you close your eyes." Yuan Sui's patience in ideological education is very limited, "No matter how good the relationship between the two of you is, after all, they are two people, how can they have the same opinion on everything?" You love salty food, and you don't allow others to say a word of sweetness, right? You two are also experienced people, but you are still not mature at all. Have you ever heard of dialectics? There are two sides to everything, maybe it's true that people want to destroy us, and it's also true that they want to live in peace with us, not the same people. ”

"Okay, okay, dialectics, you read the most." Tong Bi'an's face was long.

"I've read the most. Have you ever heard of the top students in the water city? The cultural classes of our military school are also very strict. Yuan Sui replied very immodestly.

"What Sui Sui said also makes sense." Gu Lan calmed down relatively quickly, "Then what should we do next?" ”

"What else can I do? Eat well, wait for people from outside to contact us, and ask around when we are bored. Yuan Sui picked up a piece of ginger disguised as a potato from his plate and threw it into the trash can a few steps away, "Anyway, it's not like the three of us can count it by thinking about it here." The arrow is on the bow, and I have to send it. ”

“…… To say something I shouldn't have said, if we can, we should still find a way to talk to the top of Six Fingers face-to-face. Gu Lan's hand clutched the corner of his clothes crampedly, "Not for anything else...... I just don't want us to end up with a situation where we have to leave our homeland after we finally beat Six Fingers. ”

"Everyone wants to solve the problem peacefully, but it depends on whether fate gives us this opportunity." Yuan Sui nodded first, thought about it and shook his head, "But looking at this way, it is inevitable to fight a few battles to find out each other." The best-case scenario is that we don't lose too much and don't win too much. Once this group of guys who once destroyed a planet is really annoyed, it is estimated that no one will have good fruit to eat. ”

"That's a good point."

A strange and somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from behind. Yuan Sui was full of excitement, and instantly hooked a few strands of rope and pinched it in his hand.

She saw Gu Lan, who was sitting opposite, also trembled, and after looking at it, she showed a relieved expression. Yuan Sui followed her gaze and turned his head into a pair of gentle dark gray eyes.

"Mr. Major General, eavesdropping is not a good habit." Yuan Sui narrowed his eyes, "Why are you here?" ”

"I've been working here all the time." The young six-fingered officer was dressed in civilian clothes today, and his smile was still amiable, "Everyone who enters the city will leave a photo archive at our police station, and I also happened to see the three of you, so I stopped by to have a look." ”

"That's a coincidence." Yuan Sui's response was a little cold.

"Don't believe me? It doesn't matter, I never imagined that I could be trusted by you so easily. ”

"The last time you asked us to organize, we've basically got it together." Yuan Sui said bluntly, "But how you act next mainly depends on your performance above." ”

"No, you've misunderstood something." The young officer looked sideways, lowered his voice, and said, "It's the performance of a certain group of people above. You are a man of understanding, so trust me, not every six fingers is your enemy. ”

"Understood." Yuan Sui suddenly laughed, leaned back, and sank into the single sofa in a casual posture, "The three of us will be here today, and it was originally what you expected, right?" In the invitation list provided to us last time, there must be someone you bought early, and you simply controlled the three of us remotely to come here. ”

"That's basically it, Miss Yuan is really smart."

"Basic, you say?"

"I just told them to make sure they chose the most reliable person to come here. Unexpectedly, Mr. Tong's current trust is you. The young officer held out his hand to her, "Introduce me formally, you can call me Mingshi." ”

"Don't you have a last name on your six fingers?" Yuan Sui still cautiously withdrew his hand.

"No, no, it's just a code name. Just like when you learn a foreign language, you also give yourself a new foreign name. Ming Shi withdrew his hand steadily, not showing anger or embarrassment, "I did hear some of the conversations you just had, and I am very happy to have direct and effective communication with a reasonable person like you." ”

"My personal experience is that whoever starts touting it as soon as he comes up is either begging me for something, or he has already done something wrong." Yuan Sui looked straight at him without blinking, obviously the whole person's mental state was not as relaxed as she appeared on the outside, "May I ask what kind of you are?" ”

"You're quite right. Before I came, I happened to be in a meeting to discuss whether or not to go to war with you. ”

"You agree?"

"I don't have a choice." Ming Shi replied without thinking, "As I said last time, this is not the time for moderates. ”

Yuan Sui suddenly stood up, took the other party as the center of the circle, and swaggered around twice.

"Understood." Her scrutiny was undisguised, "You plan to use our power to plot a usurpation." ”

"You can say the same thing." Ming Shi laughed heartily, "How is it, is Miss Yuan interested in this work?" ”

"I don't have a choice." Yuan Sui repeated in a cold voice.
