Shen Mi nodded solemnly, this did contain risks - if you often use the contract ability, if some accident occurs and you cannot pay the contract price, the result is destined to be tragic - or you will die from a headache, or you will die and become A perfect body.
If you often walk by the river, who can guarantee that you will always be dry?
Luo Qing, who was driving in front, kept listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He reminded softly without looking back: "Uncle Cat's ability to make up fairy tales is first-rate... There will be no shortage of early childhood education for kittens in the future."
"Go away, who wants to give birth to kittens...I am a human being." The fat cat was dissatisfied with the other party's exposure.
Luo Qing looked sympathetically at Shen Mi behind him through the rearview mirror, and warned: "Don't be taken seriously by the story Uncle Cat made up. What he said casually... elves do not exist, they only exist in legends."
It turned out to be just a legend, compiled by Sha Mao... Shen Mi had to recall the word "elf" again, and found that in her impression, it only existed in legends and works of contemporary novelists. She couldn't help but guess which of the stories just now were legends and which were... Cat is based on the legend.
Sha Mao said to Luo Qing with a proud look on his face: "Is this called imagination? Do you have such a good imagination?"
"I'm a writer cat!"
Seeing Fat Cat's arrogant look, Shen Mi chuckled, lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, and then asked the second question: "Teacher Fat Cat, is it random to awaken to become a contractor? Why does the Pandora Organization ask ordinary ironmen? To hide the fact that the contractor exists?”
"First of all... Meow... don't call me Fat Cat." Fat Cat looked at Shen Mi dissatisfied, then pointed his cat paw at Luo Qing who was driving and said, "You are about the same age as him, and you call me Uncle Cat like him."
After that, Uncle Cat nodded affirmatively: "It's random...it all depends on luck. If you are lucky, you will become a contractor."
But after finishing speaking, Maomata seemed to think of something and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he murmured in a daze:
"If you are unlucky, you will become a contractor...that's right."
When it comes to awakening as a contractor, good luck or bad luck makes sense... Shen Mi was thoughtful.
"As for why the Pandora Organization concealed the existence of contractors, you should be able to imagine... The Ironborn pursue freedom and fairness, although these things have never existed... Hehe, once it is announced that someone has superpowers, contractors can easily be Hostility, why do you have superpowers...meow...but I don't!"
"The Ironborn themselves are a cruel species that is both conservative and crazy. They will not agree that someone is innately stronger than themselves. The result will inevitably be that the contractor will become an alien. If the Ironborn can really tolerate all this, then the ancient legends Why did the elves disappear in today's continent..."
Sure enough, this is the same as his own speculation. Once extraordinary abilities appear, the confrontation between the extraordinary and the ordinary is inevitable... Shen Mi paused for a moment before asking the third question:
"Is the symbol energy that Pandora controls related to the contractor?"
Hearing this question, Luo Qing turned around involuntarily and glanced at Uncle Cat...
"Meow..." Uncle Cat stretched and meowed in a long voice: "I don't know."
have no idea?!
Seeing Uncle Cat lift up and turn to look at the scene outside the car, Luo Qing also returned to his shy look, seeming to completely ignore his own questions. Shen Mi secretly felt that the two people seemed to have a tacit understanding - he couldn't tell himself ...Behind the unknown, in addition to being really unclear, there are also situations such as being unable to say, not daring to say, etc., and the way Uncle Cat and Luo Qing are acting now is obviously the latter.
Can't tell? Or dare not tell? Shen Mi suddenly became interested in this kind of deliberate concealment, and sighed in her heart: "It would be great if Luo Sheng had the ability to read micro-expressions, so that he could directly see through whether the two of them were lying." ...When she thought of this, Shen Mi almost laughed out loud because of her stupidity——
Isn't the purpose of reading micro-expressions to see through the true thoughts? I have already awakened and have the superpower of telepathy, which is more direct and powerful than any micro-expressions... It seems that I haven't adapted to my identity as a contractor yet, and the first thing I thought of was Luo Sheng, not his own superpower.
However, it is better not to try to eavesdrop on the two people's voices to get the answer. Both of them are law enforcers in the contractor world, and he is just a newcomer who has been less than 24 hours, no, 28 hours. Shen Mi decisively gave up using his ability. The idea of getting the answer - to activate the ability, you need to contact the bodies of two people, so the intention is too obvious...
Moreover, this question is not absolutely necessary, it is just pure curiosity, and the motivation to take risks to pursue the answer is slightly lacking.
Luo Qing turned a corner along the street and chatted with a person and a cat behind him:
"The electricity generated by Fuyuan energy has greatly promoted the development of science and technology. The life of the Ironborn is changing rapidly... Electric cars, telephones, and electric lights have become popular in recent decades... My grandfather often talks about using fish oil when he was a child. To get to the city, you have to ride a bullock cart...Oh my god."
"That era was indeed too boring..." Uncle Cat curled up in a relaxed ball, looking very comfortable: "The electric light appeared when I was a child, but even now, there are still poor people who can only use fish oil or sheep oil lamps..."
"I think the biggest improvement is nightclubs and karaoke bars. This is simply an epoch-making initiative!" Speaking of this, Uncle Cat regained his energy and said excitedly:
"You two kids haven't been there yet! Meow~~ rich nightlife, with many beautiful young girls, enthusiastic and unrestrained."
"I'm a nightclub cat!"
"Don't worry, Xiaoqing, I'll take you there next time, meow... wait until I finish teaching this guy."
Luo Qing seemed to understand the hidden meaning of Old Mao's words. His shy face suddenly turned red, and Shen Mi could just see it in the rearview mirror.
But Shen Mi couldn't help but complain in her heart... Don't worry, at this rate, we will soon enter the information age, which will be much more exciting than now. You can't understand how charming online games are!
While talking, Shen Mi became interested in the age of the cat and asked: "Uncle Cat, how old are you this year?"
"38..." Fat Meow hadn't recovered from the dream in the nightclub, and said casually: "Uncle Cat, 381, a flower..."
………
The Hot Spring City Public Security Department is located in the western suburbs, and it almost crosses the entire city to the wealthy area of the eastern suburbs where Shen Mi lives. It took a long time to stop and go, and the electric car took a long time before entering the eastern suburbs.
Luo Qing looked at the twenty-eight-hour watch and said it would be there in half an hour.
The population density in wealthy areas is not very high, but the traffic flow on the road has increased significantly. However, when the electric car turns the corner, a large number of ironmen suddenly appear on the road.
These people were dressed in different costumes and had people of all skin colors. They blocked the entire road in a mighty manner. The people in front held up banners, and the people behind followed. The "guys" in their hands were also of all kinds, including wooden sticks. , kitchen knives, poles, shovels, steel forks, wrenches...everything is available.
There was a young woman in a white shirt holding a loudspeaker and shouting loudly. Every time she shouted, the people behind her shouted in unison, which was very powerful...
As they got closer, Shen Mi could clearly see the big words on the banner——
"We want Fuyuan energy, and we oppose nuclear energy!"
"Nuclear power is the devil and a disaster for the Iron People!"
And what everyone shouted in unison was
"Oppose the coalition government to continue to carry out nuclear tests, we don't need nuclear energy!"
"The future of the Ironborn lies in Runesource energy!"
"Fuyuan energy is safe!"
This is...a demonstration! Opposing the alliance government's development of nuclear energy? Shen Mi probably guessed the scene in front of him.
The ironmen marching in great momentum, there were already thousands of people, and basically no one dared to stop them. Some policemen from the Public Security Department appeared in the distance, but there were only a dozen people, and they did not dare to get close. They could only drive far away to follow the parade. of people…
"Here we go again..." Luo Qing, who was driving, had to slow down and park the vehicle on the side of the road, waiting for the parade people to pass by. He couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
"This is already the eighth day in a row..." Uncle Cat continued to lean on the back seat nonchalantly: "However, the Hot Springs City Hall should have thought that today's parade would be serious, so why didn't they make preparations earlier?"
"The city hall is also in trouble, with such a large-scale demonstration." Luo Qing muttered.
"Why is it more serious today?" Shen Mi asked Uncle Cat for advice.
"It's very simple..." Uncle Cat straightened his body: "Yesterday, the Alliance Academy of Natural Sciences conducted a nuclear test in Tieshan City, a northern province, and it exploded. The news was not blocked and was published in the newspaper..."
"Since the alliance government and Pandora jointly issued a statement a week ago, preparing to rely on the Alliance Academy of Natural Sciences to carry out nuclear energy experiments, people have begun to panic for some reason. Almost all cities across the alliance have spontaneously organized demonstrations to resist the use of nuclear energy - yesterday The explosion further catalyzed the wave of resistance."
"Oh! So that's it..." Shen Mi nodded, this was the Ironborn's fear of new things...
No matter what era we are in, people have a fear of the development of science and technology, which is easy to understand.
Thinking that the Supervisory Office where the Punisher team is located is almost equivalent to the special forces of the Public Security Department, Shen Mi asked: "Isn't the Supervisory Office involved in maintaining public security?"
"Of course not! The management of the Ironborn society is a matter of the alliance government, and our Supervisory Office is only responsible for matters related to contractors..." Uncle Cat smiled, and after speaking, his eyes suddenly glazed: "For example, the Supervisory Office may find out
The culprit of incitement!”
"The culprit?" Luo Qing asked in confusion.
"Why are the people marching? The purpose of the march is to resist nuclear testing. What is the reason for resisting nuclear testing? Because the iron people are afraid of the harm caused by nuclear energy... Think about it carefully." Uncle Cat's eyes narrowed into a line again: "Iron people
How do they know the dangers of nuclear energy? The statement has only been issued for a day, and even our inspectors don’t understand what nuclear energy is. Why are people afraid of nuclear energy? Where did they get this understanding of nuclear energy?"
"You mean..." Luo Qing opened his mouth in surprise: "Someone deliberately spreads rumors about the dangers of nuclear energy to the iron people?"
