"I used to wonder how you were so kind to provide shelter for ordinary humans who had no ability and a lot of trouble in a day. Flash." Gu Lan exhaled slowly, "Taking this opportunity, you should have done a lot of tricks on these fools, right?" ”

"We're just going to do the necessary medical check-ups on all the citizens who live in our cities." Even under such a coerced situation, Shi Yin's answer was quite calm, "After experiencing such a bad decades together, I think we should be able to reach a consensus on the prevention and control of the epidemic." The consequences of disease are far more serious than war. ”

"Really? What a beautiful excuse. Gu Lan leaned forward, "Tell me about your research." ”

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Oh, don't be like that, alien friend." Gu Lan sat back slowly, and said with a deliberate and pleasant face, "You may not know, people like us don't need to value things like 'reputation'. In other words, if you have to force me, I'll use any means. Don't make the situation look like the villain tortures the righteous to extract confessions. ”

“…… Why do you know this? "The gray eyes lit up slightly.

"Why is it so clear that you're currently leading this particular study?" Gu Lan lowered her head and flipped through the information in her hand, "Hmm...... Is it called 'Specific Human Analysis and Classification of Genetic Mechanisms'? It's an interesting proposition. Just as you often do things that deliberately exacerbate our internal conflicts, isn't it easy to think that we also have undercover agents in your city? ”

"You-"

"Don't have your surname Gu." Gu Lan replied quickly.

"Okay, Miss Gu, you're a little different from what I imagined."

"Did you finally notice that I was different from the bales you had come across in the city?" Gu Lan didn't smile on her face, "If you really want to talk to me about academics, although most of the people here are some little kids who are king with a little innate luck, there are also a few people like me who are still a little literate but have been robbed of the village—do you understand what it means to suppress the village?" ”

"You've been to our city, no, you're coming out of our city......" Shi Yin's eyes finally flashed with a hint of surprise.

"Okay, okay, no nonsense." Gu Lan was a little annoyed, "I'll ask you the key questions directly, please try to cooperate, of course, if you don't cooperate, I have a way to get you to cooperate." ”

Shi Yin looked into her eyes and suddenly took the initiative to say, "Have you heard of the famous 'Barbara Case' a few decades ago as a 'gifted person' of your generation?" ”

"Barbara? First name? Gu Lan was stunned, and by the way, she changed the direction of Erlang's legs, "No, what do you want to do?" Don't mess me up, I-"

"Don't talk about anything else for the time being, at least from my point of view, I don't quite understand the meaning of your favor." Shi Yin actually interrupted her and began to talk eloquently, "Since you have lived with us before, you will not fail to understand that it is really good for your future to really let this area fall into our hands, not the other way around." ”

"No, friend." Gu Lan laughed in disbelief, "You don't want to persuade me to let you go, right?" ”

"When I was a child, there was a boom in the 'gifted' moving into our city." Although Shi Yin has a slight accent, his pronunciation is even smoother than that of some humans with limited knowledge because of their remote life, "At that time, a referendum was held in my small city. Originally, most of us were not in favor of relaxing your entry permits, until someone brought up this case, which was already considered an 'old case' at the time, and convinced many people who did not welcome you in the first place. ”

"Examples? What is an example? Gu Lan stretched her face, "Are you trying to play the emotional card with me?" I'm sorry, and I don't think I'm close to a normal human, but I don't think I'm a father. Flash."

"Listen to me, don't interrupt yet." A strange look appeared on Shi Yin's face, "You won't regret knowing about this." ”

“…… Well, I'll allow you to say it first. There's plenty of time anyway. Gu Lan raised a hand with interest and made a gesture of "please", "Then tell the story a little better, let me appreciate it." ”

-

2105, winter solstice.

On a freezing day, thirteen-year-old Barbara, carrying a basket of bread that had almost been frozen hard, wandered aimlessly through the streets like a little match girl in a fairy tale.

But she had good luck today.

The woman in a heavy and warm fur coat beckoned to her, pinched her little face that was red from the cold, and said with the usual coquettishness: "Look at this little pitiful, such a cold day, stay at home comfortably." The hardest days are over, and if you can't get by, here," she said, pulling out a thick stack of bills from her pocket, "go find the police uncles at the corner of the street, and they'll give you a little relief for a lovely little girl." ”

Barbara's eyes drifted over the ring set with a huge gem on her index finger, but her mouth kept saying auspicious words in a different way, and she ran away with the bill in her hand.

Half a minute later, the beautiful ring appeared in the palm of her small hand like a trick. Barbara spun around the gray sky for a while before she was satisfied with the valuable knick-knacks in her pocket, leaving the basket casually on the ground.

A "gifted person" like her, the darling of fate, simply disdains to do such a menial job.

Hopefully, this thing will sell for a good price on the black market, and the 'Six-Fingered' bosses who are now curious about all things human beings will love it. It's not just this winter, maybe next winter, she can live a comfortable life.

From the first day she awakened this wonderful ability, Barbara went from a poor orphan whose parents died early to a genius thief who spent a lot of money.

This is the rice bowl that the gods have given her. Barbara sped all the way back to her warm home, and giggled as she plunged into the mountains of stuffed animals.

Maybe it's because the situation can't get any worse, and life is getting better little by little. The world has probably been in chaos since a few years ago, when a group of visitors of unknown origin and terrifying in appearance resembled humans fell into the middle of the desert. Her petty theft is nothing compared to that.

In the end, the "six fingers" who had worked so hard to come here were first defeated by the completely different living environment of this fresh planet, and they were infected with strange diseases, and they only dared to hide in the harsh conditions of the Gobi for several years. Had it not been for the effects of their radiation on the flora and fauna of the surrounding area, the global panic that had existed for several years would have been on the verge of becoming a laughing stock.

At a time when "expelling" or "adopting" them has become a boring after-dinner conversation in every human family, a group of pessimistic and hard-line scientists have finally stood up and issued a warning to the world with concern.

Since the other party is a race that can carry out long-distance interstellar travel, once they are allowed to exist and let them gradually get used to it, the current technological level of human beings may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party.

Unfortunately, these words of admonition made a group of people laugh even more. The human race on Earth is approaching the 9 billion mark, while the number of six fingers is less than 100,000.

When we think we have absolute superiority, human beings always seem to be especially compassionate. Some people even suggested that under the premise that the other party is willing to "share science and technology", we can even take the initiative to carry out relief.

All opponents are condemned for "lacking the most basic empathy as a human being" and struggling in the valley of morality to write tragic prophecies.

Eventually, their prophecy was fulfilled in a way that no human had ever expected.

"Regarding the recent spike in crime and the resurgence of prevalence in a few areas in the central and western regions, the interim spokesman said there is no evidence that there is a direct link to the explosive surge in 'gifted'...... The protests are gradually coming to a halt and most shops are reopening for Christmas this year...... Artificial amniotic fluid technology is gradually maturing, and according to the person in charge of the project, this technology will save humans who are difficult to conceive naturally due to the effects of radiation in the near future...... "The new announcer looks much kinder than the previous one, but the overly open smile on her face makes her seem a bit of an amateur."

Barbara slowly stirred the milk cereal in the glass, and couldn't help but take out the ring again and admire it for a while.

All little girls probably like this shiny thing, right? It's a pity that I can't keep it for a long time in order to eat.

"Barbara, are you there?" The neighbor's aunt was knocking on the door, presumably coming to bring her some extra food.

As one of the youngest children in the city, Barbara has long been accustomed to the spontaneous preferential treatment of adults who dream of having a offspring of their own.

Barbara took a small bite on the steaming cereal, quickly closed the small room full of suspicious objects, walked to the shabby little living room, and welcomed her aunt in with a sweet smile.

"Why are you wearing so little? Barbara, the weather is getting colder and colder lately, you have to be careful, in case you get sick, medicine is still hard to get! Also, you have to remember to play with the few children upstairs who have just awakened their strange abilities, and be careful that they bully you! The woman was as amused as Rory, and Barbara, who was annoyed, wanted to sew her mouth with her mind.

- Unfortunately, she can't do it yet.

Forget it, for the sake of the taste of the things you sent, I'll let you go for the time being.

Barbara took a few precious apples and smiled widely.
