Chapter 9 Why don't they know?
"So what are you going to do?" After returning to the ward, Kesong asked him.
Li Zhen sat at the small table beside the window and looked at her blankly: "I really didn't think about it. Actually, I don't like the days of fighting and killing... Although Brother Ying said that these two times are special circumstances."
"But now I'm becoming like this... I always feel unwilling to accept it if I want me to be a completely ordinary person."
"Kesong, what do you want me to choose?"
Zhang Kesong sat down opposite him, biting the straw in his mouth, sucking the milkshake he brought back from the cafeteria, and gurgling, looking at him thoughtfully: "I..."
"Actually, I've been here for a while."
"Ah?" Li Zhen was stunned, "...Here? You used to be...I wouldn't tell me that I am also an executive, right?"
Kesong smiled and knocked on his head: "No. I mean I am studying here. So I think you will stay here for a while. Don't forget that I am a capable person too - Brother Ying said just now, do you have to ask me some things? Actually, you should think of this problem when you know I am a capable person."
Then, Li Zhen learned about Zhang Kesong's past.
The two met in high school. Before that, Zhang Kesong had been staying in this northern base.
No wonder, when Li Zhen used to ask Kesong where to study in junior high school, she always said nothing about it. But at that time this was not a big deal, so she never asked clearly.
As he has seen so far, the northern base is quite large and there are quite a lot of staff. In addition, the southern base and the subordinate institutions of various administrative divisions are actually tens of thousands of people who are managing about 3,000 capable people in China.
So many people, of course, include a considerable number of ordinary people. Among these ordinary people, such as Zhang Chaoyang, all have their own families. If there is a family, there will be wives and children. Although strict confidentiality agreements were signed at work, some special situations will always occur, which will make some people who should not know the world of those who should not know the ability to know this secret.
Or, there are children with ability in ordinary people's families, and children with ability in the family of staff of the secret service office appear - this situation needs to be handled specially.
Because you can't expect a child to sign any confidentiality agreement with you, and then strictly abide by it with great control.
Kesong's ability is innate - she is born with C-level blood. However, her ability is quite special, so it was not until she was eight years old that Zhang Chaoyang and his wife could not see the clues. So she was sent to the northern base in accordance with the internal regulations of the Secret Service Office.
Children like Kesong will start living like boarding school in the base and receive education that is no different from the outside world - but most of the teachers who teach them are masters and doctoral students, and the teaching staff is not ordinary strong.
One day of the visiting holiday every month, I spend the rest of my time in this vast area. Of course, I will also have my own toys and hobbies, but I will also receive various trainings about my abilities - so that they can effectively control themselves and not cause trouble to those around me.
After spending elementary school and junior high school years in this base, most children enter puberty.
So at this time they and their families need to make choices.
Should we continue to stay here for education and then serve the northern base, or sign a security agreement as a fifteen-year-old natural person, return to normal society and accept the life of ordinary people.
At that time, Kesong chose the latter. Of course, the girl of that age yearns for the colorful world in the TV screen, and she doesn't want to spend another three and a half-closed life in the next time. So she returns to Pingyang, enters No. 2 Middle School, and meets Li Zhen.
And she had never mentioned these to any of her classmates.
Li Zhen heard her finish this in a calm tone and was silent for a long time before saying, "Actually... is it necessary?"
"Hmm?" At this time, Kesong was a little worried that Li Zhen would be unhappy because of her concealment, but he didn't expect to hear such a stupid sentence.
"I mean, is it necessary to keep it confidential like this?" Li Zhen thought about it and said slowly, "For example, separating your children like you at that time from your family is why it is kept confidential... But what's the big deal about being known? If I didn't die and come back to life, one day I found that my hand would soon heal again with a knife, and I was not afraid of falling and hurting... I guess I would tell my parents happily, tell you."
"You think, this superpower has appeared for more than two hundred years. There are always some abilities that the secret service does not know about. People around them will definitely find him very different - so this kind of thing will gradually become well-known. Is it necessary for them to keep it secret like this?"
Ke breathed a sigh of relief, then blinked: "Oh, I have asked my teacher this question before. She asked me at that time - do you know about Trisomyellow syndrome?"
"What kind of genetic disease I learned in biology class?" Li Zhen asked.
"Well." Kesong nodded, "But I was still in junior high school at that time and had never learned it, so I said I didn't know. Then the teacher told me that people with this disease in China account for about one percent of the population, which is to say millions. However, millions of such patients walked around the streets and never had any confidentiality measures. Ordinary people like us would not know that they existed if they had not learned in biology classes - then how could anyone know about three thousand abilities?"
Li Zhen was stunned, then nodded slowly: "It seems to make sense..."
"Yes. I was convinced, too." Kesong raised the corner of his mouth, "But later the teacher also told me that everyone actually felt that it was meaningless to keep it so confidential... Because from two hundred years ago to now, there have been more and more capable people - although I don't know why. However, one day, the number of people like us will reach a considerable level. At that time, even if we want to keep it confidential, it will not be able to keep it confidential. The current rules and regulations are left behind in the past, so everyone has always followed it."
"Well... it makes sense too." Li Zhen nodded again, "It sounds like your teacher is quite awesome."
Kesong said with a smile: "Of course, she was very kind to me when I was in school."
Then the two realized... they were off topic like they did when they chatted countless times before. So Li Zhen asked again: "But what does this have to do with how I choose?"
"I mean, you still have a lot of time to think about it slowly." Kesong finally put the white-bitten straw aside, "Brother Ying said there are still many things about you that have not been dealt with. I guess what he meant was that we both have to go back again."
