(2-in-1 Update)

The fate of the cicada is to sing for a summer, and the fate of the ant is to serve the population, and everything in the world cannot escape their own beliefs and missions, even if human beings have supreme wisdom, they cannot escape their own fate. - Yan Funing

——————————————

The midsummer of Star City is full of golden stones, the vast sky is cloudless, the blue is translucent, the dazzling scorching sun and the streamer on the glass curtain wall reflect each other, the scorching fireball quietly exudes suffocating power, and the pedestrians on the road frown and walk in vain.

Yan Funing opened the car door, the boiling air came to his face, he was used to the coolness of London in summer, and the furnace-like weather in Star City was really uncomfortable, Yan Funing turned around and said goodbye to Li Jiting and the seniors in the car, and said sorry to Feng Luwan, and jumped out of the business car.

Yu Rong looked at Yan Funing, who was still meticulously dressed in formal clothes in the forty-degree hot weather, and then the business car slowly slid forward, he looked at Yan Funing's back through the glass with dark sunscreen, hugged the chair and said, "Boss, this kid is nothing special?" But how do I think you value this kid very much, I think when I first entered the Qianlong Group for internship, you were not so kind to me, let alone repeatedly retained, and now you almost promised to let Yan Funing be the successor, this is too favoritism, you must know that we are also a member of the Mensa Club, or a member of the Huaxia Red Guest Alliance, but it is more than a star and a half better than the graduate students of Imperial College ....."

Li Jiting glanced back at Yu Rong's somewhat greasy face, rolled his eyes and said: "Now is the era of looking at faces, the male comrades of our Qianlong Group are handsome, you look at you one by one, you are not kempt, and you don't pay attention to your image.... If you don't pull a long handsome person in, how can we improve the average appearance of our Qianlong group?"

Li Jiting's complaint was immediately exchanged for a burst of protests, and everyone sitting in the carriage despised Li Jiting's behavior of judging people by their appearance.

Yu Rong, a slightly chubby man, pushed his glasses and said, "Boss, I'm not good myself, but my carrier is extraordinary! Truth or always, it's a permanent carrier, I really don't care what happens to my body, so I let myself go and enjoy life!"

Everyone laughed ambiguously when they heard Yu Rong's words.

This smile contains a deeper meaning, just because Feng Luwan was there, everyone was embarrassed to express it, such as using the carrier with stronger staying power and higher sensitivity.... Don't have to bring insurance tao.... This kind of convenience and ability is simply not attainable by the ontology, and the vast majority of people who have used the carrier will dislike the ontology.

It's like if you have a Ferrari, you have a Rolls-Royce, you have a Lamborghini, would you still like to drive a QQ car?

However, Li Jiting, who has always liked to laugh and joke, did not laugh, and said with a sneer: "Hmm, do you mean that you used the carrier when you were not on a mission, and you also used the carrier to soak girls?"

Taijilong's internal affairs regulations stipulate that it is not allowed to use carriers to intervene in the lives of ordinary people without leaving the task.

Although this kind of thing is difficult to supervise, and they don't use the carrier to do anything illegal and undisciplined, it does violate the internal affairs regulations of Taijilong. In Taijilong, violating the regulations will be severely punished.

Even if everyone in Taijilong thinks that it is harmless to use the carrier once in a while to experience life, the internal affairs regulations are too strict, and who hasn't done a few fun things with the carrier in private?

But no matter what they think, no one dares to violate the regulations on the surface.

Yu Rong shook his head like a rattle with a frightened expression, "How dare I violate the internal affairs regulations of Taijilong! Besides, I am half a robot, and I won't be scared to death when I walk on the street?"

"Hehe! Don't think I don't know your little tricks, choose to maximize the human body, and use concealer to cover the line lines a little, how can ordinary people distinguish them?" After a pause, Li Jiting said earnestly: "I see that you are really comfortable living too much, I warn you! It is strictly forbidden to confuse the life of the carrier with the ontology, and treat the carrier as the ontology, as if the ontology is a burden, you bastards are really going to take a few days of ideological education class.....

"Starting tomorrow, we will gather at 6 o'clock every morning to do morning exercises, run 20 kilometers at a speed, and then take an hour's study class on internal affairs regulations, and I will personally supervise you..."

Suddenly there was a wail in the carriage, but no one pleaded for mercy or an excuse not to participate.

Use the carrier to do some private things, this kind of thing is even more unavoidable, and it is indeed difficult to supervise, and most of the time the people above can only turn a blind eye, as long as they don't do anything out of proportion.

The identity background of being able to enter Taijilong is not small, so using the carrier to feel life is an unspoken rule that is not said at the bottom and not pursued at the top.

Feng Luwan saw through the rearview mirror that the expressions of everyone in the Hidden Dragon Group in the carriage were indeed painful, but no one asked Li Jiting to run less.

The vast majority of law enforcers will not point points to the strengthening body, especially the official Chosen One, because the official Chosen Ontology, which is mostly cyborgs, has not low requirements for physique, and the strengthening body can be achieved through exercise, and it is not worth spending points.

Therefore, whether it is an official chosen one or not, it will not waste so many points on strengthening the ontology, at most it is enough to point out the first point of genetic enhancement....

Therefore, a twenty-kilometer speed run is still a big burden for the body, especially for a computer genius like Yu Rong who doesn't like to exercise, and most of the time he is a logistics person who wants to die, but Yu Rong didn't fight, just cried and looked worried.

Li Jiting sighed at the group of people behind him and said, "Do you know why I value Yan Funing? Because he clearly distinguishes between the body and the carrier..... Even if it is very easy to do many things with a carrier, he will still choose to use the ontology to do it.... Maybe it's a bit stupid not to covet convenience at all, just like insisting on wearing formal clothes on a hot day, there is no point in other than making yourself suffer, but such a person's willpower is strong enough..."

But Li Jiting didn't say the next sentence, "Although his character is a little flawed, I think he can adjust it...."

——————————————

Yan Funing, who was wearing a dark suit, walked into Lehuo City, attracting the attention of men, women and children, countless people pointed at him, and some even tried to find out if there was a camera behind him, Yan Funing didn't care about these inquiring eyes.

walked to the map of the mall and took a few looks, quickly determined the location, and walked directly to the walking elevator, heading towards the location of the hair salon on the first floor that Yan Yitong told him.

After getting off the elevator, according to the location map in his mind, he walked straight to the door of the hair salon without looking for it.

The decoration of the hair salon is very gorgeous, with white European-style wood-framed walls, golden hollow bordered mirrors, and a lot of high-power spotlights installed on the top of the black aluminum grille, which illuminates the whole space very transparently and brightly, but there is a smell of Amonia inside, which is slightly pungent.

Yan Funing walked inside, looking for his Yan Yitong and Fu Yuanzhuo among the flowery hairstylists and female customers, and soon he saw Yan Yitong who was waving to him with a face full of surprise in the VIP area, and then he saw Fu Yuanzhuo who stood up from the high stool and shouted: "Brother Ning!"

He was just about to nod and smile, but he saw the face of the person who was sitting on the barber bench with his back to him and lowering his head slightly beside Yan Yitong and Fu Yuanzhuo, cutting his hair.

Black-rimmed glasses sit on a white table, a glass of boiled water ripples in a clear plastic cup, and blue hair falls like snow under silver scissors.

The grim face, already familiar to him, appeared in a sun-shaped gold-trimmed mirror.....

Yan Funing clearly remembered this indifferent expression, which was a kind of loneliness born of fate.

It is not the loneliness of the unbearable high place, nor the lonely self-appreciation of the soulmate, nor the pain, self-pity, or sorrow.

It's a kind of loneliness that comes out of your bones and is accompanied by death, as if life will disappear from time at any time, and you can't grasp anything, so you can only watch from the sidelines.....

Yan Funing couldn't forget this expression, on 240, he stared at the wind and grass on K20 twenty-four hours a day, and he spent most of his time on the monitor observing the behavior of this boy called Cheng Mo, and then figuring out what he was doing and what his purpose was.

Yan Funing can probably speculate on the logic of Cheng Mo's behavior, but he regrets that Cheng Mo didn't do well enough, and he was a little emotional, such as Cheng Mo went to notify the American couple, and vaguely notified the family of three to get off the train, if it was him, he would definitely not say much;

In Yan Funing's opinion, Cheng Mo is rational enough, but he can't escape the constraints of the social moral framework.

Therefore, after K20 and 240 lost contact, he guessed the fate of this boy and Xie Minyun, and he deduced countless times, in the presence of the Clown Sith, no matter what, this weak teenager did not have the slightest chance of survival, so he didn't even open his mouth to ask Li Jiting for confirmation.

However, he didn't expect that the boy who he thought was impossible to live would appear in front of his eyes at this moment.

The incredibleness was comparable to his surprise when he first came into contact with Uroboros.

Yan Yitong saw his brother stunned for the first time, or looking at his future boyfriend in a daze, a little overwhelmed, and said in his heart: "Could it be that there is telepathy between geniuses?" She jumped and ran over, pulled Yan Funing's arm, and said a little shyly: "Brother, what are you looking at? Do you know Cheng Mo?"

Yan Funing's heart sank, and he said quietly: "I don't know.... I'm just looking at what it's like to make my sister rave...."

"Hehe, brother, I promise you'll like him, he's a genius just like you!" Yan Yitong said happily.

Yan Funing touched the short wig on Yan Yitong's head, the spotlight shone on the dark thick wig, and he said lightly: "It doesn't matter if I like it or not, just like it." ”

Yan Yitong didn't deny that he liked Cheng Mo in front of Yan Funing like he did in front of Fu Yuanzhuo, but shook Yan Funing's arm with a red face and said, "Brother, Cheng Mo and I are just friends." ”

Yan Funing didn't speak, just took his eyes off Yan Yitong and glanced at Cheng Mo in the mirror, in this position, he could see Cheng Mo's face through the mirror, but Cheng Mo couldn't see him, just as he was on 240.

At this time, Fu Yuanzhuo also came over and said with some complaints: "Brother Ning, why don't you come back in advance, I'll pick you up at the airport." ”

Yan Funing looked at Fu Yuanzhuo and said with a smile: "I came back with my classmates, and he happened to be picked up, so I took his ride." ”

"What are you doing in someone else's car?

"There's no need to care about these little things, our relationship doesn't pay attention to these...."Yan Funing patted Fu Yuanzhuo's shoulder and said.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, and you didn't come back for the Chinese New Year last year, originally Tong Tong and I wanted to go to the UK to see you this summer, but you didn't allow us to go to ....." After a pause, Fu Yuanzhuo said: "Don't say much, I'll do Dong in the evening, let's go to the Red Mansion to have a good meal, and we must drink until we are high." ”

Yan Funing nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After the three of them finished greeting, Yan Yitong pulled Yan Funing to Cheng Mo, who was receiving punishment, and said, "Cheng Mo, let me introduce to you, this is my brother, Yan Funing ......"

Cheng Mo's head couldn't move, but his eyes were tilted in his sockets to look at Yan Funing, who was wearing a black suit and looking like a British gentleman in the mirror, and said: "Hello, my name is Cheng Mo, and I am Yan Yitong's classmate." ”

Yan Funing didn't look at Cheng Mo's face, but just looked at Cheng Mo's pupils reflected in the mirror, the pair of pitch-black pupils that looked like a galaxy with black eyes did not have the profundity that Yan Funing imagined, nor was it complicated and cold, but like white paper without wrinkles, blank and calm.

This is also different from Yan Funing's imagination, a person who has killed a lot of people can be so calm, not the kind of indulgent guiltlessness, nor the fearlessness of pretending to forget, nothing has happened.

It is a pure clear conscience, not the absence of guilt.

Yan Funing looked at Cheng Mo's eyes in the mirror, smiled and said, "I feel like we've met somewhere..... But I can't remember it at once. ”

Cheng Mo generally doesn't like to use micro-expressions to observe others, especially people he knows, so although he was a little strange, he didn't figure out Yan Funing's expression, just glanced at Yan Funing's handsome face in the mirror and said, "Yes? Probably a public face like me is like this, there will always be people who think they have seen it somewhere." ”

Yan Funing shook his head, "Maybe, I heard my sister say that you are very smart, and you also helped Fu Yuanzhuo to take the second place in the whole grade, and severely frustrated Du Leng's prestige." ”

Cheng Mo said: "I'm not smart, I just prefer to know some knowledge that others don't want to know." ”

"What a coincidence! I also have this hobby, especially like to look for those who do not want to be made public history in the old library, look at those philosophical ideas full of reason, and look for the ultimate mystery of numbers, such as the British Library, where there are not only 150 million collections, but also the manuscripts of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo。 It's just a pity that the current books are dominated by the mainstay, the discipline of philosophy is about to disappear, and there are fewer and fewer scientific works..."

If it was Cheng Mo in the past, he might agree with Yan Funing's point of view, but now he doesn't think so, "I also like libraries, but I don't quite agree with you, I think that if all the libraries and museums in the world are destroyed, and all the works of art and books are gone, then there will be nothing left of human beings, all hope will be disillusioned, and we will not be able to survive by reason alone, which is why poets and artists must exist." Although science has been tasked with the task of carrying out human fantasies for hundreds of years now, it lacks something in the heart of the desire for ideals, because it does not dare to make overly generous promises, because it cannot lie. But we humans are animals that need hope, even if those hopes are false....."
