Chapter 131: New Discoveries
Three minutes later, the headlines changed again. Zhongchun glanced at Mars, as if he had gotten to know his master again.
A minute later, Superintendent Ximen from the North Headquarters called: "The booth at Tainan New Media Group said you asked him to change the headlines back."
"Southeast Electric is looking for you." Mars looked at the old man on the video call with amusement.
"The police and the civilians are close friends. As you know, they are big customers." The old man Ximen said and sighed: "I know that fat man. He is in charge of the neighborhood where my home is. The young man is sensible, but I didn't expect that he would have such a bad temper.
.”
"What is the reason?" Mars stretched out his hand, and a chair ran to Mars' side with long legs.
"What else could be the reason? The superiors don't treat the subordinates as human beings." There was something in Superintendent Ximen's words, but he refused to say another word: "The other side is urging me, Mars, are you willing to give them a face?"
"My mentor told me that with greater ability comes greater responsibility. I believe what he said and let them come to me on their own, or when things in China are over, I will come to them with some local products." Mars said here.
He stretched out his hand to fish it out, and a plague mutant rose up from the ground. It had its neck broken and was caught outside the rooftop by a psychic palm. Mars and it merged into a shadow.
"Epidemic variant! You guys pretended that I didn't ask. I asked them to come to you on their own." Old man Ximen looked at it and shook his head: "I thought you were still in the south."
"I've been playing here for several days, and the locals are very enthusiastic." Mars pointed his lens at the 'all living things' on the ground.
Thirty seconds after ending the communication with Old Man Ximen, the phone rang again.
It was Chun's call. As soon as Mars answered it, the girl's mouth puckered on the screen.
It had been a long time since I saw this girl shriveled up. Mars smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"I saw that the headlines of the Southern Thailand Times had changed again. I saw that my dad was talking serious nonsense and was very happy. Why did you ask someone to change the headlines?" This girl was a little unhappy.
"If I were a mortal with nothing to do, I wouldn't be able to do this. But as a legend among psykers, it is natural for me to speak out for the disadvantaged. Otherwise, what's the difference between us and man-eating monsters?" Mars.
It's a bit bitter to say this.
After listening to Mars' explanation, Chun was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "You are right, Mars." Then the girl became visibly happy: "As expected of Mars, his consciousness is already better than that of Mars.
I'm cumming."
"Don't say nice things to me, Chun. I just feel that everything must come to light. Please help me look at it. Also, I will personally explain your father's situation when I have time."
"It's okay, let me tell you, your behavior is the representative of chivalry in the Four Islands."
After Chun finished the communication, Mars let the chair carry him back behind Meng Zuo. At this time, the omnic had already reached the top of the room, which was a small personal room.
"They are really social animals. I'm not wrong. You see, ten thousand years ago and ten thousand years later, the people are different, the principles are different, but the pain is the same." Zhongchun said this and looked at Mars again: "But I
Thank you anyway."
"You are different from your brother." Mars smiled after saying that, and then began to comment on this small room: "This is a room that can only hold one bed. There are shelves on both sides of the wall.
There are books on it, small electrical appliances, and a few small statues from the old era that I don’t know what they represent.”
"What would you think if I told you that those little statues were very popular two-dimensional figurines at the time?" Meng Zuo turned around and said, "This room is just big enough for a bed, and all the small things are placed in these.
On the shelf, everyone said that the old era was like heaven. I used to think they were right, but now I think the facts are somewhat biased."
How could the old era be a paradise? The planet under our feet can never be a paradise for everyone, because some people's paradise... will definitely be a purgatory in the eyes of others, just like what the Tainan joke said,
There is a boss whose two children are studying abroad, and each has a tuition fee of 3 million yuan a year. The economy has been in recession in the past two years, and the boss sold a house for more than 10 million yuan, and said that life is very tiring.
He never thought that the young people working in his company might not be able to earn a year's tuition for his children.
Thinking of this, Mars sighed: "By the way, have you looked under this bed?"
"I've seen it. I hid a moldy silicone doll with its head missing." Meng Zuo replied.
The trio sighed in unison after being silent for a while. Meng Zuo wiped his nose, Zhong Chun rubbed his brow, and Mars lamented that the silicone doll that became moldy 10,000 years ago is still silently guarding the bed of its owner to this day.
At this time, Mars' cell phone rang again, and a strange number appeared in Mars' eyes.
"This is Mars, who are you?"
"I am the legal counsel of Southeast Electric, Mr. Mars. My client said that what you have done has affected the operation of their group, and the court summons has been served to Gaota." The old man on the mobile phone screen said this.
Sighing: "Mr., my client wants to ask you, do you really want to develop to this point?"
"I have been in the Middle-earth region in the past few days, and I will let the tower's legal counsel represent me in court." Mars said with a smile: "Do you have any questions?"
"No, sir, don't blame us poor people who earn hard money, what else can we say." The old man hung up the phone after saying that.
Meng Zuo sneered a few times from the side, and Zhongchun sneered: "He is also a pitiful person."
How can we not call it a pitiful person? In front of such man-eating monsters as big companies, every life is just a withered skeleton by the Wuding River. The only value of existence is whether it can create profits.
But Mars did not refute these two little guys, because he felt that there was really no need for the two little omnics to learn to empathize with humans at all times. They were omnics, and they were the last insurance in Mars' eyes - when one day, Tai
When Nanbian is no longer suitable for mortals to survive, I think the omnics will definitely stand up again, just like the mentors did before.
It is far better to believe in human beings than to believe in omnics. At least they will not be entangled by love and hate, let alone be soft-hearted.
"It's getting dark." This is a reminder in mid-spring.
Mars heard the sound and looked into the distance. The sun was setting and the planet had completed another revolution.
The reminder from Meng Zuo made Mars turn his attention to the screen. On the screen, the epidemic variant stood up. It walked to the two machines on the wall and used its thick fingers to remove the red machine from the machine.
Take out a paper card and put it into the slot of another machine.
Some nice pure music began to sound in the room, a piano solo.
The mutants started to move, it was dark, they had their lives.
And their companion sat in front of the terminal again.
