Chapter Ninety-Six: The Balance of Power (Part II)
"In this matter? Hee-hee, it seems that you are still not convinced. ”
The girl's jade-like fingers gently stroked Lin Xi's lips, and then leisurely took them back, leaving only a trace of residual fragrance between his lips.
The heart was seen through in an instant, and Lin Xi's face changed.
However, he still turned his head and said stiffly, "No matter what, I'm also a dignified alien, okay?" He's just a bureaucrat, so what do I have to disagree with......"
"That's what worries me the most!"
Wu Qiuli's tone suddenly became stern, interrupting Lin Xi's remaining words.
"Huh?"
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Qiuli.
Wu Qiuli took two steps forward and stood side by side with him.
The two looked at Xie Changlong, who was busy in the crowd, but what they saw in their eyes was a different scenery.
After a long while, Wu Qiuli said lightly, "This time we joined the military's convoy, we have inevitably had to break away from the previous life and come into contact with many people, do you know?" ”
"Of course." Lin Xi said as a matter of course, "Humans are social animals after all, aren't they? Only huddles can live better, and this is also good for the growth of little Apple, both of us are not adults ourselves, and what we can teach her is limited after all, and reaching more people may be more helpful to suppress her instinctive awakening. ”
Wu Qiuli shook her head, "That's not what I meant. ”
"And what do you mean?"
"There are many creatures that need to huddle to survive, such as wolves and lions, but ......"
Wu Qiuli suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Xi, her eyes were as clear as the purest stars in the early autumn night sky, "But any creature that huddles together must have a leader, the wolf has a wolf king, the lion has a lion, and the human ...... also has its own leader......"
Lin Xi seemed to vaguely understand something in his heart.
He said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”
"I want you not to fight for power, at least until you have the ability to lead everyone well."
Hearing Lin Xi's direct question, the girl simply made her words clear and said,
"Yes, you are an alien, and you may still be the strongest in the column, in such a last day, you have a natural advantage, as long as you want, you should easily grab the leadership of a group, food, wealth, beauty, good life, respect of others, power of every word...... All kinds of obsessive things, you can easily get everything you want, but have you ever thought that this disaster came too suddenly, the two of us, and even most of the other Inhumans, in addition to having powerful abilities, are actually still otaku and otaku before the cataclysm, and the abilities give us unimaginable destructive power, but they don't make us smarter and more sensible, it's like a sharp knife, sharp enough to cut through everything, But we haven't had time to create a scabbard and handle that can hold it, and the first one to be cut off is probably the hand that holds the knife! ”
Lin Xi looked at Wu Qiuli dumbfounded, the girl's foresight made him extremely embarrassed.
Then, before he could respond, Wu Qiuli had already continued, "Power is a good thing, I know, you men are thinking about this thing one by one, good men are ambitious in all directions, this is right, but once this power falls into the hands of the wrong person, the final result can only be to harm others and yourself!" ”
"Just like him," she pointed sharply at Xie Changlong in the crowd, "Yes, he is afraid of death, lustful, lazy, and may even be greedy, dirty and despicable, inconsistent on the outside, and interprets the disgusting appearance of a politician to the limit, but you can't deny that it is such a person, but he can indeed settle this group of disaster victims well, and if you do the same thing, even if you are given the combat power of a genuine dragon wolf, you will definitely not be able to do better!" This is not a problem that can be solved with claws and teeth alone! Don't look at me like that, I'm just talking about things! Not only you, but also me, see for yourself, don't keep saying that we are aliens, just talking about the ability to deal with things, we may not be as good as his two Xiaomi! ”
Lin Xi looked forward in the direction pointed out by Wu Qiuli, and sure enough, he saw that one of Xie Changlong's two Xiaomi was following him, skillfully recording something, while the other was standing at the door of a bus, comforting the refugees in an orderly manner and arranging for them to board the bus in an orderly manner.
"See?"
Wu Qiuli shook her head, "The ruler is short and the inch is long." I know that before the cataclysm, officials were always portrayed on the Internet as corrupt officials, as if everyone was a heinous and good-for-nothing bastard, but in my opinion, such remarks are often just a catharsis of some slackers' dissatisfaction with their own situation...... They themselves are incompetent and unwilling to work hard, they are poor, and they cannot live a good life, so they infinitely magnify the greed of those officials, believing that their misfortune is caused by the greed of these people......"
"But they never thought about why others had the opportunity to be greedy and they didn't?"
Lin Xi was dumbfounded by Wu Qiuli's words.
He never thought that this young girl, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, would have such a deep and positive understanding of society.
Admittedly, it is not so easy to be a bad person.
A person who has no status is **, even if he wants to do bad things, he can only steal petty at most, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance after all.
As the old saying goes, "those who steal the hook are punished, and those who steal the country are princes".
But first, if you want to steal the country, you must first have the corresponding ability to sit on the throne of the princes!
Just like those "tiger flies" who have fallen in the "tiger fighting" operation again and again, if you carefully study their resumes, you will find that these people are by no means the wine bags and rice bags that ordinary people imagine will only make money, on the contrary, whether it is education, family background or political achievements, they are the best choice, and ordinary people are difficult to match!
In a sense, it is this capital that qualifies them for greed!
Their minds, eyes, patterns, and all their leadership skills are definitely not comparable to a kid like Lin Xi who hasn't even graduated from college!
As for the corruption and degeneration after taking the position, it is a matter of personal thought, and it has nothing to do with the country, and it is a kind of irresponsible revenge to push all the ugliness to the state, to the party, and to the system.
This is what Wu Qiuli wants to tell Lin Xi:
The world is fair, nothing can be earned for nothing, even if you want to be a tyrant, you must work accordingly for it!
At both ends of the power scale, on one side is the benefit, and on the other side, there is a heavy capacity!
If you want to climb to the height of the temple, you can;
The ability to fall from heaven on you is itself a kind of chance, "if you don't take it, you will have it", but before that, you must first exercise yourself crazily, and you must first have the wisdom and leadership ability that matches the position of power, otherwise you will be in a hurry, and the result will be to bring yourself, as well as all the people you lead, into the abyss of no return!
There are no such examples, Boss Tu and Strange Man who died in Lin Xi's own hands are the best negative teaching materials in this regard, relying on a little ability to run rampant and domineering, and the final result will inevitably be in the hands of people who can't be provoked, and there will be no place to die; And those sports students who were coerced by them, if it weren't for such two stupid Boi bosses, maybe they would still be living in this world now!
"More importantly......"
Wu Qiuli's voice suddenly softened again, she took Lin Xi's hand and folded it in her palm,
"Although we haven't known each other for a long time, in my heart, you and Little Apple are the most important people in this world besides my father, and I hope you understand this......"
"Although the situation is still uncertain, I believe that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the further the future, the more obvious the conflict between the Inhumans and the people who inherited power before the Cataclysm, and it will only intensify, and there is no room for relaxation......
"The Inhumans with extraordinary abilities will never be willing to be just a knife in the hands of those in power, and those who are used to enjoying the benefits of power will never just hand over the power in their hands, at that time, all kinds of bloodshed, intrigues and tricks will definitely emerge one after another, we are still too young to be the opponent of politicians, and even I am not optimistic about the entire class of Inhumans, at least in the first confrontation, the Inhumans are eighty percent likely to be suppressed, so, I hope you, I and Little Apple, We can all stay away from the center of this vortex of right and wrong......"
"I know, your abilities are already very powerful, but no matter how strong you are, you are still a person, not a superman, not a god, can you be stronger than a sniper rifle or a heavy machine gun? Can you outperform a cruise missile? Can you outcompete an airplane tank? If you fall into the trap of politicians and are set on fire by heavy fire, how sure are you that you will survive? What are you going to do with me and Little Apple if you die? ”
"Promise me! Don't get involved in this maelstrom until you're completely sure! ”
The girl's sincere words echoed in Lin Xi's ears, and on his vest, cold sweat was already pouring down......
