Chapter 81 The Werewolf

It was five o'clock in the morning when Shen Chunlan returned to New Hope Academy, and the criminal investigation department sent someone to drive him back to pick up his books.

The car drove directly to the 4th building of the boys' dormitory. The light in 317 was still on, it was Zhou Shifei who opened the door for Shen Chunlan.

Yang Deyi was lying on Qu Wu's table to sleep, and Lin She stood up when she heard someone coming in, with a frog squatting on her head.

"...Where's Qu Wu?" Shen Chunlan was surprised, "He didn't go back to the dormitory either?"

"Not only Qu Wu, Gong Shang and Long You also didn't come back." Zhou Shifei was very anxious, "Mr. Shen, what happened?"

Yang proudly rubbed his eyes and sat up.Because Rao Xinghai was directly taken away from the arena by the crisis officer, the two of them were so worried that they couldn't sleep. "Qu Wu and the werewolf boss went to play in Wangdu District." Yang said proudly, "He just sent me a voice message saying that the werewolf boss was injured, and now he is accompanying him to the hospital for an injection."

"Is Qu Wu okay?"

"He's fine. He also said he saw a palace merchant in Wangdu District." Yang Deyi recalled, "The tone was quite weird."

Shen Chunlan told them that Gong Shang and Long You were fine, and they just stayed in the crisis office to rest temporarily.It was a long and stormy day, Shen Chunlan thought it was not suitable to tell the rest of the people.

There are two piles of books on Rao Xinghai's desk, the textbooks on the left and the one on the right are labeled with the library.A brand-new "English Vocabulary Required for Level [-]" was spread out and placed face down on the table. Shen Chunlan opened it to have a look, and it started with the word A.

There are a few photos posted on the small bookshelf, some were taken in the dormitory, and some were taken out to play.The photos are all people from dormitory 317. Occasionally, Longyou Wang Wensi and others from upstairs 405 will enter randomly.There are fancy stickers on all the photos, obviously not Rao Xinghai's style.

"Uh, I posted all the photos for him." Yang Deyi scratched his head behind Shen Chunlan.

There is also a couple of two-inch photos inside, two of which were cut out, leaving six.In the photo, Rao Xinghai is wearing the hairstyle he had when he entered school, looking at the camera with an unhappy face.

"We went to the Lama Temple last fall, the Temple of Heaven, and the Joy City to eat Japanese food. Wanli invited us... This picture was taken at the Begonia Pond when the crabapple flowers were just blooming a few days ago." Yang Deyi introduced to Shen Chunlan .

In these photos, Rao Xinghai has a contradictory expression of pretending to be cool but holding back a smile, which is awkward.In the picture of April, he is still holding the shoulders of the sun, and the young face illuminated by the sun has a frown that can't help being exposed to the sun and is afraid of light, but the corners of the mouth are pursed, and there is a slight arc that is not obvious.

"It was all taken by the squad leader." Yang Deyi said in a pleading tone.

Shen Chunlan seemed to be possessed by the head of the department: "That's great, that's great."

Rao Xinghai's bed is much simpler.All his bedding is the same style that he bought in school when he entered school, with a large grid of light green and white.There are several martial arts novels and military history on the bedside, as well as a neatly folded scarf, which is packed in a transparent sealed bag and kept separate from the books.

Shen Chunlan found "Gearfish" hidden by Rao Xinghai under the scarf.

It was a very thin booklet, with the words "Yuanxingshe·Nie Cai" impressively printed on the bottom of the cover.

Shen Chunlan couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.Before he knew it, Rao Xinghai came into contact with what Nie Cai wrote, and Rao Xinghai never even told him about it.

When they left the dormitory, Yang Deyi and Zhou Shifei both looked worried and sent him to the stairs.They noticed an unusual aura from Shen Chunlan's actions.

"Rao Xinghai is fine, don't worry, he should be able to come back during the day." Shen Chunlan told Zhou Shifei, "There will be a match between Tang Ying and Wan Li next, and you also remember to ask everyone to cheer for them. Don't be afraid , There will be no accidents on the field, and the crisis office will watch them all. Also, don’t tell anyone about my visit to your dormitory tonight.”

Two students watched him get into the car and leave.

On the way back to the Crisis Office, the driver reminded him that he could sleep for a while.Only then did Shen Chunlan realize that he hadn't rested all night.But he didn't feel sleepy, Nie Cai's book was in his hand, and he felt the heavy weight.

With the lights on in the car, Shen Chunlan flipped through it in a hurry.

If in the first half of the booklet, Nie Cai is still explaining the unbalanced development between special humans and ordinary humans, sentinel guides and other special humans, in the last chapter, his intentions are already obvious.

[Evolution is natural selection: perhaps in the past years, this was true.However, human survival activities have greatly changed the laws of nature. Similarly, these survival activities also point to more precise evolutionary results—better, stronger, and more suitable sentinel guides for survival are inevitable for human progress.

In the history of Homo sapiens, there used to be different races such as Neanderthals, Thoreaus, Denisovans, and Mrs. Rudo.In the end, only Homo sapiens, the species that has been in the middle of the food chain for a long time, got the opportunity to develop by leaps and bounds.In the existing social norms, the "sentinel" and "guide" are the human beings in the middle chain.

At the same time, there have been three revolutionary events worth remembering in human history: cognitive revolution, agricultural revolution, and scientific revolution.The cognitive revolution opened up the ability of human beings to understand themselves, society and nature, which is the start-up stage of human history; the agricultural revolution accelerated the development of history, allowing human power to grow rapidly and become the real ruler of the earth; and the science of 500 years ago Revolutions gave humans for the first time the ability to alter history and biological evolution.

The next revolution may be triggered by gearfish.It is impossible for the sentinel guide to be lost in the river of human history, and the theory of interbreeding proves the rationality of the existence of special human beings—especially the sentinel guide.It is impossible for us to simply pass the stage on this huge stage of history. Our abilities are so amazing, and there are so many things we can do and change.

Maybe the one who stirs the storm is you. 】

It was very obvious that this was Nie Cai's style.He is knowledgeable and eloquent. The act of "convincing" is not simply telling and listening.He will use real data and events to attract the listener's attention, and what he really wants to say is subtly hidden in these sentences.

The conclusion is drawn step by step.And every small conclusion will have a slight deviation from the real facts: special humans seem to be valued, sentinel guides are called "gears", the real meaning of gears is actually an instrumental label, sentinel guides should not be labeled, sentinels Guides can shed labels, and finally do the reverse - making Sentinel guides the rulers who end up labeling others.

This copy of "Gearfish" may have been in the library for many years.Rao Xinghai found him among the crowded bookshelves visited by few people. It is impossible to know who put it there, but Shen Chunlan is almost sure that it is what Nie Caishang left when he was working in New Hope.

He is very smart. Although he thinks that the Sentinels are better than the Guides, the number of Sentinels and Guides in New Hope has always been half and half, so in this pamphlet aimed at propaganda, he did not reveal his true point of view.

This ensures that even if a guide has no intention of getting this kind of brochure, he can read it smoothly without feeling disgusted.

Was Rao Xinghai really not affected?Shen Chunlan remembered the gentle comfort he gave him when he took Rao Xinghai to No. [-] Hospital to look for Song Qi.He believed that Rao Xinghai would not believe all of this—if he believed it, it would mean that the school did not properly tell the students what they really needed to tell them.

Shen Chunlan closed the booklet and rubbed her eyes.Only then did he feel a little tired.People dispatched to set up small stalls on the side of the road at night evacuated before the urban management went to work, and there was another lively scene on the road."Takeaway", "retail" and contact numbers are written on each cart, and the stall owner is meticulous and thoughtful.

Shen Chunlan's heart moved, and he opened the brochure again.

He didn't read the content this time, but carefully read the layout in the book.

It is strange that this brochure, which is mainly for propaganda, did not leave any contact information of "Yuanxing Club" or "Nie Cai".

It was the first time for Rao Xinghai to have breakfast in the cafeteria in the Crisis Office. Xiao Liu bought him the canteen's signature meat buns and signature black soybean milk.Rao Xinghai finished his meal unceremoniously, and commented: "The one from New Hope is more delicious."

Xiao Liu: "Your EQ is very low, little classmate."

Rao Xinghai stared at him unceremoniously: "When can I see Adam?"

Xiao Liu: "Not now."

The golden python slept next to Rao Xinghai, its body coiled into a circle.The black mamba wandered anxiously in the room, knocking on the door from time to time.

It sensed that the spirit body of the same origin as itself was nearby.

Xiao Liu looked at the little snake: "Coincidentally, the black snake over there is also hitting the door."

Adam arrived at the Crisis Office half an hour ago, without any stop, he was directly pushed into the interrogation room.There are too many things to ask him, and Gao Tianyue cannot fully trust the report of "Oasis". Adam is an important breakthrough to understand the internal information of the Yuanxing Society.

At least they can learn the exact location of the Yuanxing Society base from Adam.This is something that "Oasis" doesn't mention.

Since entering the interrogation room, Adam's black mamba has come out by itself and kept banging on the door.The door of the interrogation room was very strong, but it banged frequently, which annoyed Gao Tianyue and Lei Chi.

Lei Chi suggested that the two brothers should just meet up.

Gao Tianyue refused: "At least ask Qin Ge to patrol Adam's sea area first, otherwise I don't feel relieved. In case Adam does something unexpected after the two meet, we cannot bear the responsibility."

Lei Chi was puzzled: "Is there something unexpected? Is there a big bang?"

Amidst the sound of two little snakes banging against the door regularly, Gao Tianyue shaved her Mediterranean hairstyle again and again. "It's so noisy." He waved his hand, "See you!"

When Rao Xinghai was brought to the interrogation room by Xiao Liu, he noticed that the room was filled with a strange and powerful spiritual atmosphere.When he walked into the door, the first thing he saw was Lei Chi standing in the corner, and then he saw a giant squid circling on the ceiling of the interrogation room.

Like Zhang Xiaoyuan's peach blossom jellyfish, this giant squid does not have a water-based protective cover. It swings its tentacles as if swimming in the water, and circles around the lamp.Tentacles of different lengths moved slowly in the air and light, casting shadows that kept shaking.

Gao Tianyue closed the door and signaled Rao Xinghai to sit down.Only then did Rao Xinghai understand that the giant squid was the spiritual body of this middle-aged Mediterranean man.

He sat down at the table, and the young man in front of him was staring at him all the time. When their eyes met, Adam was a little shy and smiled nervously.

With an awkward smile, he didn't seem to know what to say, so he simply bent down and grabbed the black mamba from the ground to the table.

Rao Xinghai froze for a while, then released his black mamba.He was a little emotional, the two snakes ran out, and the golden python scared Gao Tianyue and Lei Chi into surprise.

The two black mamba snakes are exactly the same: gray-brown snake scales, swimming posture, black part of the mouth when opening their mouths to say hello, and the frequency of shaking their small heads from side to side.They seem to be looking in a mirror.

"...We've met." Adam spoke first.

Rao Xinghai tickled his own black mamba to remind it to calm down a bit.Just looking at the appearance, he couldn't tell which one belonged to him at all, but the one that was obviously skinnier and more shameless belonged to him: it was so happy that it flicked its snake tail and slapped his brother's head. Or what it does to guinea pigs.

"You recognized me the first time you saw me, didn't you?" Rao Xinghai pointed to himself, "When I was in the cafe."

Adam nods.

Rao Xinghai looked at the young man who looked very similar to himself in front of him, and there were many thoughts in his heart that he couldn't sort out in an instant. What was Adam thinking at that time?He remembered that Adam had treated him to coffee and asked him about Rao Xinghai.Rao Xinghai felt a little sad for not being able to understand Adam's ecstasy at the time.

The young man was so cautious and excited, suppressing the idea of ​​confessing to him, pretending to be a new friend and chatting with him.

If he knew that he was his relative, Rao Xinghai would definitely take him to see more places and introduce his friends to him when he appeared in New Hope Academy.

Adam has no socially recognized identity and has never been to school.He has no name and is only called "Adam". "Adam" is not a name but a code name. It is the hope created by Yuanxing Society and Nie Cai. He was given this code name and has since become the code name itself.

"Is your allergy better?" Rao Xinghai asked.

The redness on Adam's face still hasn't subsided. He can no longer wear a mask, and his face is red and white. "They said they would help me find a doctor." Adam turned to look at Lei Chi, "This may be because I am not used to the dry climate and dust."

"Then are you used to eating and drinking here?" Rao Xinghai asked again.

"It's okay." Adam said, "I'm adapting pretty well."

Rao Xinghai: "Our school's cafeteria is delicious, I'll take you there."

Adam smiled: "The palace merchant said the same."

Rao Xinghai: "We will take you to eat all over the school."

Adam thought for a while: "I also met Qu Wu. Is his spiritual body a dog? I think he looks like a dog, and he is not a big bulldog, but a rather naive kind."

Rao Xinghai: "How do you know him?"

So Adam started talking to Rao Xinghai about what happened in Wangdu District tonight.The two chatted little by little like this, a little unfamiliar, a little cautious and afraid of making the other party uncomfortable, and a little indescribably close.

It's a reunion after a long absence.

The golden python put its head on the table, looking at the two little snakes with red eyes.The black mamba started to introduce this companion to his brother, and then slapped the golden python's face with its tail again, very arrogantly.

Another black mamba approached slowly, moved its tail half-believingly, lightly touched the golden python's face, and immediately retracted.

Its brother poked the golden python's face again, encouraging it to hit it again.

The golden python maintained a gentlemanly silence, enduring the more and more aggressive flapping of the two snakes, and the snake occasionally vomited, showing non-threatening dissatisfaction.

The lively skill competition finally came to an end in late April, and New Hope Academy returned to calm.

But the heat of discussion is far from over.

Zhan Yan from the Department of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences scored the highest score for his excellent performance in the duel with two players, while Tang Ying ranked fourth and entered the finals in May.

Wan Li partnered with his senior sister, but unfortunately lost to Zhanyan in the second match.Although his white-naped crane has no special ability, it is a very rare spiritual body, and once became the most concerned object in the arena.Wang Wensi remembered that the big screen gave the white-naped crane 59 close-ups. "There are only so many times in our ten thousand miles." He stretched out two fingers for emphasis.

Rao Xinghai and Qiao Fangjiu both withdrew from the competition, and Rao Xinghai was even notified to cancel the competition results.The riot on the field was treated as an accident where the freshmen couldn't control their mental bodies, and it was treated as a warning within a department.

On the campus forum, the rusty-spotted leopard cat of Zhanyan and the blush-eyed butterfly of Gongshang ranked first in the popularity list of the sentinel and the guide spirit, and people kept asking if the two knew each other and whether they had the opportunity to play together.

Zhanyan was found to have logged in with her roommate's IP and secretly liked the topic of "Zhangong CP". Businesses have added a lot of pressure.But after the skin-pipe behavior was exposed, it made the younger brothers and younger sisters who admired Zhanyan very sad: it was not because he had someone he liked, but because this method was too dishonorable.The younger brothers and younger sisters quickly sorted out their fan mentality: what we like is the rusty-spotted leopard cat, cats and cats have nothing to do with Zhanyan, we can still scold Zhanyan!

And Gong Shang, who was interviewed by the school's reporter group and the radio station, took the opportunity to advertise tutoring during the interview.

Rao Xinghai's rankings were not high or low, and the comments "This sentry is so handsome" and "I'm really bad at snakes" were almost on par.

Also very popular is a werewolf sister who won the championship in the preliminary stage with an absolute advantage in the werewolf actual combat competition.She is a senior this year, and when she learned that she got the highest score, she immediately expressed that she had no intention of participating in the finals, because she will go abroad to continue her studies in May.

Due to the rising popularity of the werewolf sister, posts scolding New Hope Academy for its narrow admissions policy and should recruit werewolves and other special human students frequently appeared in the water district.The administrators deleted it when they saw it, and the topic of debate quickly rose to the opaque management system and the school's refusal to delegate power to students' self-management forums. The discussions were very lively.

Qiao Fangjiu and Tang Ying also became famous in World War I, and received many messages and selfies from admirers every day.Yang Yun also volunteered to help the two of them appreciate and select, and was very busy and happy every day.

But she has been a little conflicted with Yang Deyi recently.The cause of the incident was an episode on the day the game ended.At that time, Yang Deyi was helping to pack his things in the venue, and a werewolf player found him.Yang Deyi was confused, and found that the young werewolf was also confused.

"I didn't complain to you, don't worry." The werewolf said, "I'll come over and talk to you."

Yang Deyi: "What are you complaining about? Do we know each other?"

Werewolf: "Are you Yang Deyi from volunteer number V188?"

Yang Deyi: "I am."

Werewolf: "...Okay. When I saw you a few days ago, you were still a woman."

Yang Deyi: "..."

He dragged the confused werewolf brother to Yang Yunye, who was so embarrassed that he had to exchange names and contact information with him, and even told him his WeChat account for selling video memberships.

But that night, after the werewolf brother told her that he was from the Foreign Language Institute of the Talent Planning Bureau, Yang Yun added him with a large number and apologized earnestly.

But the werewolf has a big temper and is still in a state of anger, refusing to talk to her.

Rao Xinghai, Gong Shang, Long You and Qiao Fangjiu never mentioned what happened that day.Rao Xinghai returned to school the next afternoon.He stayed up all night, slept in the dormitory for an hour and immediately got up, asked Qiao Fangjiu and her partner out, and apologized earnestly.Qiao Fangjiu asked him what happened to the two spirit bodies in private, Rao Xinghai was silent for a long time, and replied: "Although it is very special, I am not dangerous."

Before he left the crisis office, the spiritual adjuster Qin Ge patrolled his "sea area" again.This was the fourth meeting between him and Qin Ge.Qin Ge gave better conclusions each time. He said that Rao Xinghai's "sea area" showed a calmness and stability that had never been seen before.

Rao Xinghai actually knew it himself.He understands his changes, bit by bit, silently, but they are happening.

On the last weekend of April, Rao Xinghai knocked on the door of Shen Chunlan's dormitory with a heavy schoolbag on his back.

In the second semester of the freshman year, although the courses were not much different from the previous semester, the department head taught a compulsory course, Introduction to Social Cognition.Rao Xinghai was once again stumped by the mid-term essay he assigned.

He had to ask Shen Chunlan for help.

Shen Chunlan brought him tea, Rao Xinghai spread the books and manuscript paper on the dining table, and Shen Chunlan sat beside him.Rao Xinghai turned his head to kiss him, and after the kiss, he wanted to hug him again, which was a coquettish way full of strength and oppression.

Shen Chunlan thought that the business was more important, he held down Rao Xinghai's movement of lifting the corner of his clothes, and changed the subject: "I also have class today, right?"

"Go ahead. The head of the department said that the number of words in the thesis should not be less than 5000. Isn't that a little too much?" Rao Xinghai resigned his hand resentfully, and twirled a pen between his fingers.

Shen Chunlan: "What did you say?"

Although the dean's course has a textbook, his course schedule is completely different from the textbook, and chapters that are not in the textbook are inserted from time to time.In today's class, the old man suddenly became interested in the middle of the lecture, and talked about the discrimination chain within the sentinel and the guide.

"All discrimination does not exist in isolation." The old man paced on the podium, shaking a folding fan in his hand, "If someone says that I discriminate against sweet rice dumplings, but I am neutral in other respects, that is the only discrimination I have. There is no doubt that what he said was a lie."

The folding fan was put away with a snap.

"Why? We need to find out the source of the discrimination first." The old man beat the desk with a folding fan, "Simply put, discrimination must contain the element of supremacy. Once a person has the idea of ​​'supremacy', he must be against his own concept. , people or things that act differently, with hostility."

He pointed at Wang Wensi: "For example, Tianjin people don't speak seriously."

Wang Wensi: "What are you talking about?"

He pointed at Tang Ying again: "For example, pretty girls don't smoke."

Tang Ying: "...I'm trying to quit smoking."

"Very good, very good." The head of the department spread his fan again, "In short, if a person discriminates against half-zombies, he is very likely to discriminate against sentries, discriminate against guides, have low evaluation of women, and sneer at poor men. Narcissism, self-importance."

Shen Chunlan already understood after hearing this: "Did he ask you to buy his new book in the end?"

Rao Xinghai was shocked: "How do you know?! It's called "Inside the Onion", have you seen it?"

"He will give me an autographed copy, and I will borrow it from you." Shen Chunlan asked him, "How is Adam doing?"

After several days of investigation in Wangdu District, there was no trace of Nie Caiguanli and others.What annoyed the Crisis Office and Gao Tianyue the most was that Adam kept silent about almost everything about the Yuanxing Club.

Rao Xinghai would go to the Crisis Office to visit Adam every other day, and sometimes Qu Wu or Gong Shang would go with him.

"He doesn't trust the people in crisis management." Rao Xinghai said, "Up until now, he hasn't let Teacher Qin Ge enter his 'sea area'."

The author has something to say:

On the day when business resumed, the troupe was empty.

Director Liang looked at the huge billboard in confusion.

Billboard: Venomous black snakes, both appear!

Director Liang: Isn't this attractive?

Shen Chunlan: How could this attract people!

In the afternoon, the billboard was urgently replaced: a special performance by the cute little panda, feel free to touch and rua!

Wang Wensi: Make the billboard bigger!Make my face bigger!Don't post the photo of the troupe owner, who will look at her!

Director Liang: What did you say?Don't want wages anymore?

Wang Wensi bowed and apologized with the little panda: I'm sorry for my incoherent speech.
