The "young man" took the newspaper that the worker had mentioned and saw the reward for the clue. Of course, he could not read the words. He could only read a string of numbers and had to rely on others to help him read the rest.
The workers were just joking and forgot about it after reading it. They continued chatting.
The "young man" heard a lot of news from them. It was said that this sex fiend was very powerful and had turned the entire Holy City upside down. It was said that even a Saintess could not escape from his clutches. The Temple was furious but did not dare to say it out loud. That would be blasphemy and the Temple would not be able to escape responsibility. Therefore, the highest that could be seen was a member of the royal family who had been murdered.
The actual situation was still unknown. It was also said that the Temple's experts and guards had been mobilized but could not do anything to this sex fiend. He had escaped time and time again. It was a time of crisis. The calamity planet was getting closer and closer, so the higher-ups had no choice but to put all their energy into dealing with it. They could not carry out a large-scale hunt for this sex fiend.
The most shocking news was that even the Purple Emblem Hull had to send the young women in his family out of the Holy City to avoid the calamity.
However, there were workers who did not believe it and scoffed. They thought that Purple Emblem Hull's experts were as numerous as the clouds in the sky. If they really made a move, how could they let the sex fiend go free?
These things were too far away from the workers. Everyone was just talking about it. Although the sex fiend had caused a lot of trouble, the people around them had not encountered it, so they did not have any real feelings. Otherwise, they would not have used such a mentality to watch those unlucky people make a fool of themselves.
As they chatted, the topic shifted to the Saintess and Son. In the Holy City and even in the prairie, this was a perennial topic. However, it was different from the ancient legends that Hu Jinxiu's mother had told. There were people here who insisted that they had seen a Saintess before. They said that they had never seen such a perfect person and that they would be satisfied for the rest of their lives.
There were also people who expressed disdain. They said that the Saintess and Son of God were debauched and that they even had abortions. It was just that outsiders did not know about it. One day, these blasphemous Saintess and Son of God would be executed by God.
The "young man" was not interested in these topics. Until now, he had not been able to understand from Hu Jinxiu's mother what the Saintess and Son of God did.
One moment, they said that they were the most holy people, prophets who communicated with God. The next moment, they said that they were the most perfect people, the servants who served God. Finally, they said that they were the cleanest people, the bodies of God who had descended.
There were many other theories, but no matter which one it was, there was one thing that was the same. Those chosen Holy Sons and Holy Virgins were absolutely not allowed to take even half a step out of the Divine Hall, unless it was an important prayer. Otherwise, it would be a felony, and many of them would be executed. Even now, after the Great Revolution, it was still very strict.
Whenever the Son or Saintess went to the Great Divine Mountain in the middle of the Ice Sea to pray to the gods, they would form a grand procession from the Great Divine Temple and set off according to an ancient ritual amidst the playing of musicians. The Son or Saintess who was in charge of praying would be in a tent filled with fragrance. Everyone they met along the way, regardless of their status, had to prostrate themselves on the ground and not raise their heads. Even a glance at them would be judged as blasphemy and they would be punished with having their eyes gouged out.
Because of the power of the Divine Hall, this custom still continued to this day. Although the workers beside the "young man" dared to secretly gossip about the private lives of the Son and Saintess, when it was really time to pray to the gods, they were also the ones who dared not raise their heads.
After eating and chatting, they naturally still had to work. Although the wages were paid once a day, the work on the construction site could not stop. The "young man" worked until midnight, and then he was replaced by someone else, who brought Hu Jinxiu back to the shack under the bridge.
He put away the money. He could not sleep for a while, so he looked at the stars in the sky.
Zhuo Ma once said that there was a star coming towards them. At first, the "young man" could not tell which star it was, but now he knew it just by looking at the light. The star seemed to emit a light that seemed to be different from other stars, and the light was facing the ground, like the tail of a meteor, but in the opposite direction.
For some reason, the "young man" always felt that he hated that star, and the farther away he was from it, the better. This feeling became more and more obvious as it got closer.
"Maybe it's a star that is going to bring disaster."
The "young man" heard from Zhuo Ma that the star would eventually hit them, but what the hit meant, the "young man" did not know. He could only sense it from the increasingly tense atmosphere in the city.
Because he heard a lot about the sex fiend during the day, the "young man" could not help but worry about Ran Ran. After tidying up, he said to Hu Jinxiu, "Let's go see Ran Ran?"
Hu Jinxiu, who had just fallen asleep, was a little tired. He had also worked for a day, but he did not have wages, only food. It was said that he was not allowed to be hired at his age, but now it was chaotic and tense, and no one came to take care of him.
During the meal, Hu Jinxiu also heard the topic of the workers' discussion. Although she was very tired, she was more worried about her sister's safety, "But, Brother Big Eggs, where are we going to find her?"
The "young man" said, "Let's go to the master's house and ask."
The master's house was not like the vicious rich man in Hu Jinxiu's mother's story, at least the people they interacted with were friendly, so the "young man" thought that it should be fine to just ask.
After all, Hu Jinxiu was just a child. After a day of heavy work, his body was sore, so the "young man" decided to carry him on his back. With the help of an old map and his memory, as well as asking people, it did not take long to find the master's house.
After explaining where he came from, he asked at the door, but the person said that he had not returned from St. Proteus University, so the "young man" continued to ask questions along the way.
On the way, he met a group of blue-haired soldiers who were jogging towards the grand shrine. Looking at the tail that they would only show when they were preparing for battle, the "young man" could not help but feel nervous. He wondered if the sex fiend had appeared again, and these soldiers were on their way.
He immediately sped up, and with the help of the passersby, he found St. Proteus University.
At the tall gate, he thought that someone would stop him and ask for some kind of identification. Since he didn't have anything, he prepared to find the wall and sneak over it. But strangely, no one stopped him. The guard at the gate just glanced at him and went somewhere else.
The "young man" did not know what was going on, but he did not think too much about it. He continued to ask people on the side of the road, but no one knew where the daughter of the master's house was. Instead, they asked him, "Which faculty is the girl whose surname is Pu Lian, but whose real name is unknown, from?"
Naturally, he did not know anything, so he could only search blindly.
Hu Jinxiu had long fallen asleep. He was so tired that he could not hold on for too long.
In a building, he seemed to see Ran Ran's figure, so he followed her, but when he entered, he realized that he had seen the wrong person.
In the huge room, at least that was what he thought, there were many people sitting there. These people were dressed far better than him and Hu Jinxiu, and at that moment, they were all looking at him with surprise, who had barged in with Hu Jinxiu on his back, as if they had seen a rare animal.
He felt a little embarrassed. This feeling was like the first time he met Ni Yue, and he felt a little ashamed.
Fortunately, Hu Jinxiu was asleep, so she did not have to be as embarrassed as he was.
He wanted to leave immediately, but he heard a loud bang behind him. A young blue-haired woman had closed the door, and then stood in front of the door, blocking it.
At that moment, in front of the room, an older blue-haired man looked at him, frowned, and said, "What are you still standing there for? Quickly find a place to sit down! Time is running out. Perhaps in a few months, it will be an extravagant hope for you to be able to sit here peacefully like today! "
The "young man" did not know what to do. He was here to look for someone, not to sit here.
Without waiting for him to speak, the blue-haired woman who was blocking the door pointed to a seat in front of her and said, "Quickly sit down! The professor is about to start! Don't disturb the others! "
"I'm here to look for someone." The "young man" thought for a moment, but still decided to say it. The soldiers he had met on the way made him feel a little uneasy.
"Don't speak!" The blue-haired woman probably did not hear him clearly, so she just frowned and stopped him.
"I —" The "young man" tried again.
"Be quiet!" The blue-haired woman said and ignored him. Then, she closed the door and sat aside.
The "young man" had to sit down for the time being, thinking that it was quite annoying. Should he just break the door and be done with it?
At that moment, the blue-haired old man in front began to say, "Today, let's talk about something else. Biology is a very interesting subject. Among you, there are black-haired people and blue-haired people. There are also several types of black-haired people, and there are more blue-haired people. There are many differences in our structure.
So where do we come from? How are we born? Don't believe the words of the temple. Although they also have a scientific explanation … Today, what I'm going to talk about is something that many biologists vaguely know in the past, but dare not say … "
The young people in the audience were very excited, and their eyes flashed with excitement. Many people kept asking questions, and then thinking.
The "young man", however, was not interested until the blue-haired old man slowly said, "… When the memory from the external stimulation gradually forms, the self-consciousness will gradually appear, and then continue to determine the self …"
The "young man" frowned. He did not know why he thought of the story in the video machine that he saw on the rail car, so he suddenly interrupted and asked, "Can I ask a question?"
A girl next to him looked at him strangely, and the blue-haired old man in front nodded and said, "What do you want to ask?"
The "young man" frowned again, and then asked in a seemingly confused manner, "If, if a person's memory is deliberately changed, then, is he still the same person? For example, the one in the video machine by the supreme god … "
