Chapter 104: Undercurrent

The little ÷ said ◎ Net], the ♂ little ÷ said ◎ Net],

In summary, even though most of us are reluctant to admit it, we have far more similarities to them than we do with them. Six Fingers is not as close to a 'monster' as we imagined, and it has nothing to do with the grotesque images in science fiction movies. There are no studies that prove that the average human being is very different from us in terms of average physical fitness or intelligence...... "A young girl with a pair of old-fashioned glasses cleared her throat with a big cross on the electronic whiteboard slogan "New Humanity - Independence from the World", and was about to continue, when she was interrupted by a raised hand from the audience sitting around the main podium.

"Question, six fingers aside, meaning you think we're no different from normal humans in nature?"

"Yes, I think ......"

"Question, if we are no different from them, then please briefly explain the reason why we have a 'gift' that they never have. Do you also agree with the so-called 'luck theory'? ”

"No, you know the probability thing......"

"As far as I know, we who live in the ship have an almost infinite chance of inheriting the talent of our offspring, which is close to 100%, while the very few new humans who are willing to live with ordinary people will quickly decay and disappear completely within two generations after they come ashore. Doesn't this happen to prove that intermarriage with ordinary people is devastating for the continuation of the existence of talent? Doesn't that mean that there really is a huge difference between us? The questioner's tone became increasingly aggressive.

"I know that some scholars have openly objected to our marriage to ordinary people, saying that this kind of behavior is 'as ridiculous as if a god marrying a mortal', and this blurted out a strong sense of superiority has had a very bad effect, but in fact it is ......"

"I'm sorry, but since you're playing the brand of 'academic exchange', please don't try to play 'emotional' from a moral point of view. Flash Dance. It is not a sin to admit that we are 'superior'. Someone raised their hand again to interrupt.

"Please give me a moment to finish my explanation, I'm not-"

Zhai Yiwen stood outside the small private room that is often used to hold various reading salons, listened carefully to the meaningless arguments inside for a while, and after chewing bubble gum twice in irritably, he finally pushed the door hard.

"Who is it? Late friends, I hope you can sneak in through the side door next time. The young girl on the podium raised her hand to block the sudden strong light, and tried to be as polite as possible in her criticism.

"Miss Ye, I hope you can understand that all reading salon activities not only need to rent the venue in advance, but also need to report the theme to the first floor in advance to obtain permission, especially when it comes to sensitive topics, you must go through the process honestly. Otherwise, there will be police like me who will come and disturb you. Zhai Yiwen leaned against the door with his hands and swept his gaze across the audience, "Oh, if you obviously unaware spectators run faster, I will assume that I didn't see it." ”

The participants looked at each other for a moment, and a few of them, perhaps a little bored, got up and left, and the rest began to talk to each other.

"Officer Zhai......" Ye Shuangshuang wiped his face a little annoyed, then forcibly calmed down, and asked loudly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're not wearing a uniform now?" I think it's also a violation of the regulations to make arrests in private during non-working hours when the situation is not reported in advance, right? ”

"Who said I was going to arrest you?" Zhai Yiwen lazily moved a few steps, and directly pulled down the switch of the spotlight on the main podium with one hand.

The sudden dimming of the light made Ye Shuangshuang instantly uncontrollably angry: "What are you doing? I'm going to complain to your boss that you're violently enforcing the law! ”

The audience, who was originally in a state of watching the play, more or less felt that there seemed to be a new hatred and old hatred between these two people.

"If that's what you mean by violent enforcement, then I'm sorry, I'm probably going to do something more egregious, like just picking you up and throwing you out. I can do it. Extremely tired of dealing with this nerdy living treasure, Zhai Yiwen put his hands in his pockets and approached the main podium step by step.

"You...... What do you want to do, I tell you, I will really go and complain about you! Ye Shuangshuang cautiously retreated, and at the same time forced his momentum by raising his volume.

"There are a lot of people who complain about my bad work attitude, and you are not a bad lady." Zhai Yiwen blew a bubble hard, squinted his eyes and smiled, "And it's your bad luck to choose the place here...... Please get out now, until I resort to more violent means. ”

"Why!" Both of them had their backs against the lectern.

"Just ...... This is my family's business. Zhai Yiwen pursed his lips, "I'm a young owner, and I don't want to lend you this place now, so that's it, feel free to complain about me." ”

Yeshuang looked at the female boss who was standing aside in surprise and smiling kindly.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ye, this is my son." The female boss bowed slightly embarrassed.

His eyes went back and forth between the eyebrows and eyes of the two with similar shapes but completely different temperaments, and Ye Shuangshuang opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and it took a long time to speak: "...... To put it mildly, your education doesn't seem to have been successful. ”

"Since you know it's offensive, don't talk about it next time." Zhai Yiwen made a crooked "please" gesture, and deliberately screamed, "You should thank yourself for your good reincarnation, otherwise I wouldn't have persuaded you to leave with a 'good voice', but directly sent you to the duty room of my unit for a few days of tea." ”

Ye Shuangshuang looked at the arrogant appearance of this young policeman who was also not very old, and suddenly felt angry, and rarely lost all his self-cultivation, stomped his feet childishly, and dropped a sentence "I'm really ashamed to have you in our police team", grabbed the bag and walked away.

The retro-décored private room was quiet again, and only a few slower listeners were left to run out lightly. Zhai Yiwen turned around very casually, said with action, "Forget it, I don't see it", and then continued to chew the bubble gum very hard.

"Yiwenna......" The gentle mother whispered on the side, "Miss Ye is also the daughter of the honorary mayor, you should be careful on weekdays, don't really offend people." ”

"What is an honorary mayor? It's just that our ancestors invested some money in the construction of this ship, and we can enjoy the same benefits as those of us who work hard for free, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Zhai Yiwen coughed vigorously, reminding the few people who were too slow to clean up to move faster, "Besides, it's her who relies on her own little face, and she always looks for trouble in your son and my area when she has nothing to do, I haven't annoyed her, sue me?" ”

“…… It's time for you to take your breath, too. Mother softly persuaded, "Anyway, you're just a newcomer who has only been in this business for a year or two, and it's not good for anyone to come back and fight back." I heard that you quarreled with your boss a few days ago, but she kindly asked her adoptive father to come forward and press the matter. Anyway, she's also a member of the army now, and she's separated from the police station by a layer, so even if she relies on her adoptive father's relationship, it's not good to always help you. ”

"Was she quietly helping? Why bother, her own relationship with her family is average, and she doesn't have to stand up for me, a buddy who has been causing trouble since childhood. Remember to tell her next time, just let her do her job well, it is said that she is not idle now. Zhai Yiwen paused, and then added scoldingly, "I'll be angry when I mention this!" You know, there are always a few annoying 'old-timers', relying on their qualifications, not forcing the little girl who has just graduated to drink, and people say that they don't drink and rely on the old man to shake his face, and he is annoyed to death when he looks at it. ”

"Alas, you......" the mother sighed helplessly.

"What are you still rubbing? Particularly interested in me as a person? Zhai Yiwen turned his head sharply and shouted at the last few stranders, "Or do you really want to taste our tea?" I can tell you, we have just issued a new rule there, and we have to collect money after drinking tea, so that no one will come and drink water. ”

Ignoring a few muttered voices, Zhai Yiwen's gaze swept over a young man who was a little familiar, paused slightly, and then frowned.

…… Who is this man?

Supposedly, the people who come to listen to this kind of reading salon, which will develop in the direction of quarrels once they go deeper, are either middle-aged pedants with eyes thicker than the bottom of a glass bottle, or young students who are half-grown and half-understand about everything—given the age of the present-day speaker, it is estimated that it is basically the latter. But this young man in a dark long trench coat obviously has a temperament that is not the same as everyone else, and there is a word "This person has escaped from the red world" written all over his body.

Strange, when did he ever have the pleasure of getting acquainted with such a literary and artistic young man who was annoying to look at?

The other party obviously noticed that his intention was too obvious, smiled at him, and then turned away in cooperation.

"There are weirdos every year, and there are a lot of them this year......" Zhai Yiwen faintly felt that this familiarity was accompanied by a strange worry, but he searched repeatedly in his mind, from the colleague next door, all the way to the kindergarten classmates, and he didn't find a face that could be right.

"Daughter of the Mayor Emeritus." Li Ran, who had just walked out of the door, looked thoughtfully at Ye Shuangshuang, who was stepping on high heels and running all the way with his own drumbeat, "Maybe only a person in this position can say this kind of naïve conclusion seriously." ”

The billboard of the "Surprise Salon" next to him is still shining diligently. Li Ran smiled unconsciously, and said softly: "It's really been a long time since I came back......
