After George Carlin walked up to the altar, all of the content of his lectures at Capital University, even his casual conversations, were collected by his worshippers and uploaded onto the Internet. This historical and political scientist was clearly not a pedantic person who only knew how to read books. Instead, he had a wide range of interests, and had dabbled in the field of art. However, his achievements in these fields were not as high as his achievements in his field. Even this scholar could not shake off his male hobbies. He often liked to comment on the late second great war between the Federation and the Empire when he was half-drunk. He had many comments on war, but unfortunately, even his most loyal worshippers had to admit that this gentleman really did not know anything about war. Most of his comments were absurd, often far from the development of reality. In particular, his comments on mecha were hilarious to countless people.
"Although individual mecha are extremely mobile, the amount of energy and ammunition they can carry is seriously insufficient. They are categorized as high-energy, low-energy weapons, definitely not in line with economic principles and political needs. In modern warfare, if individual mecha are said to be beautiful and expensive diamonds, then any of the most primitive group cannons would be able to burn these diamonds into black charcoal... "
This conversation had taken place at a university cocktail party in the spring of the 27th year of the Constitutional calendar, and later became one of Saint George's anecdotes. Xu Le had also seen this passage. He scratched his head curiously, feeling that this passage was unbelievably familiar. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that in the endless twilight outside the mine, whenever he showed a yearning for mecha... Uncle Feng Yu would say this passage in an incomparably mocking tone.
"Uncle actually reads George Carlin's quotes?" Xu Le recalled that white-haired fellow with a mouthful of rotten teeth. No matter how he thought about it, the other did not seem like someone interested in history, politics, or political gossip. He could not help but laugh.
Tossing the matter of George Carlin to the back of his mind, Xu Le continued his night tour of the Internet. With great familiarity, he entered a certain forum and began to carefully read the documents on the 300th entry. This was a propaganda forum about the spirit of the First Charter. There was everything on the First Charter. By now, Xu Le had already shaken off the panic of fleeing. The camouflage chip behind his neck seemed to be able to completely evade the brilliance of the First Charter. However, he was still a little worried and wanted to know more about the First Charter. He had been working on the project since two months ago. After browsing the network of the capital ring for a long time, he was shocked to discover that the files about the Bureau of Proclamation, the electronic surveillance network of the Federation, and the central computer were all openly available on the network and in the library for the citizens of the Federation to read.
The working procedures of the Bureau of Proclamation and the authority of the Central Computer were not secrets. Perhaps only the absolute transparency of this process could allow the citizens of the Federation to accept the existence of the First Charter? Xu Le would sometimes think like this in his heart.
The more he knew, the less he didn't know, and the less fear he had. He stopped searching through the documents and stared at the metal bracelet on his wrist, deep in thought. The ability to create the camouflage chip was enough to defeat all the Nebula Award winners in the past hundred years. Who exactly was the boss? Why did he know so much about the Bureau of Proclamation and the Central Computer that gathered the crystallization of human wisdom?
There was no need to continue thinking about questions that could not be answered. Gently stroking the smooth and textured surface of the metal bracelet, Xu Le's finger gently tapped on the holographic screen and connected to the government bulletin board. After rummaging under the information tree for a long time, he finally found the information about the third prison in the East Forest Region, Foggy State.
"Brother Wei will be released from prison in a week." Xu Le looked at the familiar name on the bulletin board and felt inexplicably sad. He had very few friends in his life. Brother Wei and Qiang Zi were two, and Shi Qinghai, who he had just met recently … could barely be considered one. Of course, the boss was one. Xiao Qiang, who was not yet fourteen years old, was sent to the juvenile detention center. He wondered how anxious his mother would be. What about Li Wei? What could he do after he was released from prison? Would he really become a gangster when he returned to Zhonglou Street?
Xu Le felt anxious. He lowered his head and thought for a long time. The smile on his face that rarely disappeared disappeared at this time. He finally made up his mind and began to look for reliable ways on the Internet, hoping to find a way to send a sum of money to Li Wei. The bank card that Feng Yu left him still had more than three million Federation coins. This was something he found out after downloading the Sanlin United Bank app a few days ago. He planned to send one million to Li Wei, believing that this could help Li Wei embark on a completely different path.
From a rational point of view, Xu Le knew that his actions were not wise. If the Federation suspected something in the future, it would be very easy to find out from Li Wei through the financial monitoring system … However, Xu Le just could not watch his friend suffer in a distant place, not to mention that Li Wei was imprisoned because of him. In his opinion, there were many things in this world that were more important. Of course, he would be extremely careful and try not to leave any clues.
…
…
Thinking of his boss, thinking of Li Wei, thinking of his hometown, Xu Le felt frustrated. After a moment of daze, he took out the name card made of pure natural fiber from his pocket. After glancing at it, he put it away in the metal drawer. He thought of the cute little girl on the spaceship.
This name card was given to him by Madam Zhong. Once he thought of the distant and terrifying existence of the seven great families, Xu Le's mood became a little strange. His boss had died at the hands of the 4th Military Region, and quite a few of Cillin's soldiers knew what he looked like. If there wasn't a major change in his life, then he would never have dialed the number on the business card. He probably wouldn't have met that little girl again in this life, unless he had a death wish. If there was a day when he really needed to call that number, then it could only mean that in his life, there was already a problem that was more terrifying than death.
Ewha University's West Gate, which had been sealed for decades, was reopened a few days ago. Due to the shorter distance, the students chose to leave the university through the West Gate. Originally, not many people used the back gate, but now, it was even more deserted. It was possible that not a single person would appear for several hours. Only the pear trees accompanied the lonely teenager in the gatehouse. At this time, it was already late at night, and the spring wind quietly subsided. Xu Le walked to the middle of the iron gate under the shadow of the pear trees. After locking the iron gate, he returned to his room and swiped his card. Only then did he turn off all the lights, turn on the automatic monitoring device, and walk back to his bedroom.
In the darkness, Xu Le, who was wearing only a single piece of underwear, did the horse stance for half an hour. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and started revising the ten stiff mechanical movements. Every time he entered his knee, raised his elbow, and turned his wrist, they were all so forceful and powerful. There was no turning back, and there was no other way to describe it.
In the end, he took a shower. Facing the mirror, he used a small knife to scrape between his eyebrows for a long time. Only then did he carry his aching and tired body to bed and fall into a deep sleep. In his sleep, in the darkness, he did not notice that there was an extremely difficult to detect wave on his naked body. It was moving along a certain path, turning back, and finally circling back to its original point, forming a passage, and then continuing. These waves and tremors became clearer and clearer, but also more and more inconspicuous. It was as if they were about to hide under his skin, into his muscles and joints, never to be seen by others again …
…
…
Life in Ewha University was unchanging. Every day, Xu Le would sit in on class and absorb the knowledge that was digitized and turned into blueprints. That was the most basic knowledge, but also the part that he lacked the most. Four years of working as a mechanic had made his practical ability abnormally strong. However, for some reason, the mechanic, Feng Yu, had never taught him any theoretical knowledge. Today, Xu Le was in an awkward situation. He knew how to do it, but he did not know why. Ewha University's professors' dry and dry theoretical lectures just so happened to satisfy his needs in this aspect. Therefore, he lived an abnormally fulfilling life. He only had to wait for the next semester's experimental class to begin, to verify the results of his combination of theory and practice.
He did not know what Shi Qinghai had been busy with recently. He only came over to say hello one afternoon and then disappeared. Xu Le knew that this rogue official had not been fired. He could not help but be surprised at his ability. He knew how busy the Federation Investigation Bureau was, but he did not complain about missing a few drinks. However, for some reason, Xu Le was not used to not seeing that guy for a few days.
The revenge that the two of them had been worried about, the revenge of that pair of cold-blooded siblings, did not come as expected. However, Xu Le still cautiously stayed within the campus, not taking a single step out of the iron gate. If this peaceful life continued, Xu Le would definitely be very satisfied. He had already bought a summer ticket to the 'hometown' recorded in the chip to take a look. He seemed to have gotten used to his fake identity and did not want to be disturbed by other things.
However, on that day, Xu Le felt that the campus's atmosphere was a little strange. The students walking between the school's experimental building and the dormitory had a normal expression, but Xu Le felt that something was about to happen. Perhaps it was because the principal suddenly appeared in the deserted back door to talk to him? Xu Le lowered his head and tried his best to remain calm. Although Ewha University was not famous, it seemed to have a high position within the government. This seemingly ordinary principal's position was definitely not low. Why would such a person specifically come to the front door to talk to him?
At this time, Xu Le had already forgotten about the recommendation letter. He could only guess that the principal had come to the back door to investigate something. However, why did he not discover anything? He subconsciously looked out of the window.
