Chapter 382 The Beginning of Social Investigation and Walker Street 32
Chapter 382 The Beginning of Social Investigation Activities, and the Ribot House at 32 Walker Street
"The armed forces have greatly frightened the workers, but the hatred will not dissipate due to fear. The industrial areas and downtown areas are shrouded in anger and hatred, and we don't know what kind of disaster will be brewed."
Vidya Gandhi explained:
"This is the meaning of this social practice - the Holy Light will always appear when the world needs it, and as the reserves to execute the will of the Holy Light, you shoulder the responsibility of using the Holy Light to influence the world and eliminate hatred with love."
"This activity is very difficult and almost impossible to complete, so it is marked with up to 200 practical points. After completing this activity, you can directly apply for courses and social practice activities in the second semester of first grade."
Nuomiguo asked cautiously:
"The completion goal of this event is to [use the power of holy light to influence factory owners and workers], and the other is to [ease the current situation]. Both goals seem very general, not detailed and specific standards."
Vidya Gandhi said in an affirmative tone:
"Yes, there are no specific completion standards for this activity. Everything is based on your impact on society and will ultimately be evaluated by the teachers and principal in the school."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to blink at Nuomi Guo inadvertently, and said something full of hints to her in a lowered voice:
"So, if you insist on choosing this activity, it will be difficult for me to help you... It is difficult, but it is not impossible. You need to really do something. You know, you have not completed the first semester of schoolwork before you entered school.
There has been no precedent for this before, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done now. The standards are flexible, but the premise is that you must come up with something.”
Nuomiguo hated such hints, and she was even more disgusted by the meaning expressed in the hints, but she found helplessly that she could only act according to such unspoken rules - the rules were set by the church school, and the church school represented the hymn
The will of the group, and the will of the choir determines the operation of the entire society.
If you want to achieve success within this interlocking system, you must abide by the rules of the game within the system.
Nuomi Guo said: "I... understand."
Vidya Gandhi looked at her constantly flashing eyes and nodded happily: "Well, I will help you declare and record the activities. When carrying out activities, you must pay attention to safety and make good use of your status as a student in a missionary school.
——Even the worst gangsters in Xiacheng District would not dare to make a mistake in front of the school uniform and identity given by the Holy Light."
This time, Nuomiguo did not say thank you as usual, or even expressed any words. He pulled Messiah, greeted Wolf Ribot, and prepared to leave.
When I was going out, Nuomi Guo suddenly felt like he couldn't pull it anymore.
Turning around, he saw that Messiah was standing inside the door, his eyes falling on Osmandis next to Vidya Gandhi.
The boy showed a forced and stiff smile: "I won't go, and I don't want the points."
Vidya Gandhi recognized Messiah at a glance today as the girl who came with Chen Yan yesterday, but what she did not expect was that the monster actually showed fear of the girl.
She immediately understood why she didn't do anything when the monster forced her to leave Chen Yan in the dormitory yesterday - the one-eyed monster was afraid of this girl!
She was even more curious, what was the girl's identity?
Although this girl is not beautiful and is a lowly Ayr, her calm temperament cannot lie. Vidya Gandhi has received many real nobles, and now she feels that the aura of the Messiah even
Stronger than those big shots.
If she could be developed into a follower of Arhat...
While Vidya Gandhi was thinking, Messiah stood at the door, never taking his eyes off Osmandis' face.
Nuomiguo thought about Messiah's past and realized that she was not persecuting the one-eyed boy for no reason.
So she watched with interest as the awkward atmosphere gradually descended in front of her, and motioned to Wolf Ribot, who was becoming more timid due to the gradually solidifying atmosphere, to relax.
Messiah's eyes were always on Osmandis' face, and that gaze made him feel endless pressure. The pressure was no less than the pressure that came from his heart when he faced the unknown existence alone in the vast starry sky in the past few decades.
Loneliness, powerlessness, fear, hesitation, etc. are all intertwined and strong negative emotions.
He didn't know who she was, and he didn't know where the sense of oppression she exuded against him came from. She was obviously just a little girl with an ordinary body!
But even if he lowered his head, he could clearly feel her gaze falling on him——
Cold, deep, dark, and terrifyingly heavy, that gaze almost crushed his thoracic spine!
He wanted to gasp for air, but he couldn't open his mouth. He wanted to shout and vent, but his throat was too stiff and he couldn't make a sound.
This feeling of oppression can never come from an ordinary girl!
who is she?
How could it be more terrifying than the unknown in the starry sky?
Osmandis couldn't breathe.
He is no longer the king in the past who was "unmatched by the gods and mighty gods", but is just a fragile boy who may lose his life at any time.
Back then, he didn't dare to covet the unknown in the starry sky. Now he was faced with an existence that was equal to or even surpassed the unknown in the starry sky. His will almost collapsed in the next moment, and he fell into boundless loss of control.
He couldn't stand it anymore.
He gave up resistance.
The moment he gave up resistance, the pressure on his body disappeared.
He felt everything that happened to him in a daze, feeling his restored spirit and relaxed muscles. He raised his head and an unnatural wry smile appeared on his face.
‘Damn it! Where did this monster come from!’ He only dared to scream in his heart.
He walked towards the Messiah in silence and stood behind her without saying a word.
No one knows what kind of confrontation took place between the two.
Vidya Gandhi looked at Messiah with even more surprise.
Before leaving the office, Nuomiguo said to Vidya Gandhi: "By the way, the other two will come later."
Vidya Gandhi smiled and nodded.
Whether the remaining two people can come to report is no longer important.
…
…
Except for Osmandis, the other three returned to the dormitory, put on their newly issued school uniforms, and then met with the former in the open space in front of the dormitory.
Nuomiguo said seriously to the other three people: "You also know that the Holy Light course in the church school has no learning significance. Our goal is to graduate as soon as possible - we will continue to accumulate credits through social practice activities and strive to graduate within a month.
Graduating from a missionary school!"
Wolf Ribot said in surprise: "What are you talking about! How is it possible!"
Nuomiguo looked at him: "Do you have any opinions?"
Wolf Ribot said immediately: "No!"
Wolf didn't dare to raise any objections. Being able to go to school was already a great gift. He still remembered the attitude shown by his mother when Nuomiguo came to visit home with a blank admission notice - that was what he had been doing all his life.
I have never seen such a level of surprise on my mother's face.
The Ribot family, like most working-class families in the old city, reaped the dividends of the rapid development era of Yanan City - Wolfe's grandfather, the deceased Ribot, once saved money on the construction site thirty years ago.
After acquiring a relatively generous fortune, he was able to use the apartment building at No. 32 Walker Street as his son's support to live in Yanan City.
But by the generation of the old man's son, Wolfe's father, Tom Ribot, the old man's savings had almost been eaten up by various things such as life, schooling, and taxes.
Renting out the rooms in the apartment can barely pay the monthly local tax, and they don't even dare to turn on the heating, let alone the more expensive floor heating.
They had to scrimp on food and clothing to save money to pay local taxes, plus all kinds of necessary living expenses...
After everything was calculated - after all the expenses that could support a bare life were calculated, they had no more money to support Wolfe's education.
Before the night when Nuomi Guo walked through the door of 32 Walker Street with a blank acceptance letter, Wolfe's parents had had countless arguments:
His father believed that his son could have a good job even if he did not go to school and could study at home and learn skills.
But her mother believed that her son must go to school. She believed that only by contacting other people could Wolfe become a normal person like everyone else, rather than a maverick freak.
Wolfe even once heard the devastating quarrel between his parents. His mother threatened his father hysterically that if he didn't find a chance for Wolfe to go to school, she would go to the corner building to earn tuition money for Wolfe.
Although Wolfe is only 12 years old, he knows what "corner building" means. Kids on the street like to use this to insult others when they quarrel, as if it is the most vicious insult.
Wolfe didn't know what to do. He was just scared. He locked the bedroom door and hid under the quilt. The fear kept him awake all night.
His father smoked without saying a word all night, and when he came back with a thick stack of loose money the next night, Wolfe saw the bandage on his father's arm.
He knew that his father had gone to sell blood.
As long as he can remember, he has often seen various people freezing to death on the streets during the six-month-long winter every year. Sometimes they also have such bandages on their arms.
The father of one of his friends got sick because of selling blood and died soon after. He still remembers the way that little friend cried bitterly - even the day before, that little friend still bumped into a steel bar.
A tough guy who never frowns.
From that moment on, Wolfe knew that money was precious.
It wasn't until later when Nuomiguo walked into the apartment with a blank acceptance letter that Wolfe realized that he had to fight for this opportunity no matter what.
That night, Nuomi Guo showed humility and gentleness beyond his expectation. He stood at the table without speaking, but remembered every word she said in his mind.
To this day, he will still listen to Nuomi Guo - even if the goal she proposes is impossible, he will definitely try his best.
