It was like a home at first sight
I was thinking to myself when a low call broke the silence. I looked up, and Bennet was walking towards me not far away, and I was both happy and surprised to see him.
"How did you come to such a place? I don't think girls like to go to shops or markets?! ”
"Hey, I've been touching guns every day, so I'd love to know about the origins of guns, and I've already been to the market."
"It's a pity that most of the girls never get tired of shopping."
"Maybe, but there will be exceptions to the rules."
We both burst out laughing, causing the two librarians and a few other people to look at us, and we quickly lowered our voices.
"You like to read." I whispered again.
"Oh, how can I say it, maybe it's because I'm from the Tongjin Bogu School, and I still have some genes left in my bones."
"Why didn't you stay in the Tongjin Bogu Sect?" I asked curiously.
"Do you think I should stay······?" Actually, I'm very tired of life there, and some of the things there always suffocate me. As I've gotten older, my troubles have grown. Once I reached the legal age of eighteen, I couldn't stay any longer. I jumped out of that invisible circle and came here. Because my sports performance is not bad, I chose to be fearless. It's not so much that I like to be sent in the face of danger, but that I came here to escape. Bennet's words were more about helplessness.
His answer was really beyond my expectations, there was no politeness at all, it was all sincere and open, which made me speechless for a while. I know that this thought must have been suppressed in his heart for a long time, so he will spit it out quickly, but in this chaotic real society, these words are not said to anyone, and it is necessary to recognize the object of confiding.
So I said carefully, "This is definitely what you have always wanted to say, but I think it would be better to say less of yours." ”
He withdrew his distant gaze and lowered his head a little shyly.
It occurred to me that he had just turned eighteen, and that he was still an ignorant teenager. Perhaps he felt that meeting me in the library of the Fearless Sect meant that I was 100% of his kind, and his first feeling was that I must be a big sister who was a good listener.
I smiled, trying to ease his helplessness, but I couldn't think of a suitable language for a moment. Suddenly, some questions hit my head, and I shifted the subject just right.
"I stumbled across this book called "The Precise Energy of Worms", which mentions a kind of bullet, which is very peculiar, called "Worm Bullet", have you ever heard of it when you were in the Bogu School? I asked in a whisper.
"Bug bombs?!" Bennet searched his memory diligently, and after a while he finally remembered, "Oh, that bug bomb you said, I remembered." That thing has long been outdated, it seems that more than three hundred years ago, or four hundred years ago, this weapon was produced, but it simply could not keep up with the tide of war, and it was quickly withdrawn from the production line. Later, more than 20 years ago, someone brought this thing up again, although some people sought after it, but most people were not optimistic about this thing, thinking that the live bullet of the bug was far less stable and light than the bullet made of metal, so it was just a flash in the pan, and then disappeared again. ”
"Oh, yes, I'm scared of bugs anyway. ······"
"You put a hundred hearts, the research and development of insect bombs has withdrawn from the stage of history, and it will definitely not enter the house again."
I smiled wryly, thinking that things are not as simple as you think.
"Do you know this man?" I asked, pointing to the author's picture on the title page of the book "The Precise Energy of Worms".
"You don't even know him?!" Bennet looked at me in surprise, "This is the famous chairman of the thrifty faction, the Blue Devils." ”
"Oh, I see. I really don't know much. ”
"I've never heard of anyone who doesn't know the Blue Devils, you're really extreme! This is a book written by the Blue Devil when he was young, when a group of people led by the Blue Devil advocated the unique and excellent structure of the insect bomb, and many people opposed it, not only saying that its structure was backward, but most importantly, they felt that this kind of bullet was inhumane. Once shot, the person who is shot does not die immediately, but evolves into a demon state where a person is not like a human and a ghost is not like a ghost, and the pain is unbearable, and life is worse than death. The farce was later flipped by mass public demonstrations of dissenting views and the unsuccessful development of the bullet, which ultimately succeeded in thwarting the resurgence of the bullet. At that time, the Blue Devils were very at the head of the Triumphant and Thrifty faction, and they were so busy with the election campaign that they had long since forgotten about the bugs. As much as I don't like this guy, there's really no second guy who is better suited for the position. Since he was a child, he was extremely stingy, never asking for gifts, but snatching toys from his brother or sister, as well as food. His greatest pleasure is saving money. When he grew up, he intensified his efforts, not only squeezing the interests of others to the extreme, but also picking on himself. He was very thin, because he had very little food to feed himself, and he was even more Grande than the stingy head of the millennia, and if he couldn't become the chairman of the Diligence and Frugality faction, who else could?! ”
"It's really 'people can't look good, and the sea can't fight', and there are such characters!" I sighed.
"Yes, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds!" Bennet agrees, "I don't particularly appreciate the hard-working and thrifty attitude, and it's getting more and more prevalent. They are so frugal, almost self-harming, what joy can they have in life! ”
"Yes, I think the same as you, everything should have a degree······"
We chatted as we walked out of the library and headed for bootcamp. Although the midday sun hung high in the sky and the weather was already very hot, we didn't feel anything, and we were still chatting comfortably at first sight.
