Chapter 307 Consensus(1/2)
"I'm sorry, did you just say that the person has left?"
The airport hall was filled with sunlight, and rows of seats were empty.
The girl wearing toad sunglasses, covering half of her delicate palm-sized face, stood in front of the counter and asked in surprise.
She took off her sunglasses, and her beautiful face made the ground staff at the Chicago Airport who were accustomed to seeing the flow of people couldn't help but lament God's favoritism.
"Yes, our memory of beautiful women always lasts a little longer." The blond woman behind the counter pursed her lips and smiled, and handed back the photo in her hand, "You guys are a little late, they arrived about ten minutes ago
After leaving the airport, a friend picked them up and left."
"Okay, thank you." The girl who took the photo turned and walked out of the airport, whispering: "Brother, brother, I died before I left the mission. The mission target ran away on his own!"
About a few seconds later, the man's toneless voice came: "Because we wasted too much time on the way to buy sunglasses and surprise gifts. In addition...the mission target has legs."
"But we clearly sent text messages to Senior Brother Lu and the others," the girl said with a guilty conscience.
"You need to turn off your mobile phone before taking off. There are two possibilities. One is that they were picked up after getting off the plane before they could read the message, and the other is that they had other arrangements."
A man also wearing toad glasses came out, holding two bags of "surprise gifts" in his hands.
"Damn it! Senior Brother Lu actually dared to let me go. I even bought them couple T-shirts!"
Ask her to help us find the location of our senior brother, and I, Xia, will be the one to take care of the light bulb today!"
Chu Zihang sighed, took off his sunglasses and raised his head, the dazzling sunlight of the summer morning falling into his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the blue sky in a foreign country.
This is Chicago, also known as the Windy City. Summer in the Windy City is either filled with roaring thunderstorms or cloudless skies. Today is obviously the latter.
"Did you know? More than two hundred years ago, this city was home to an Indian tribe. Now, this city with a population of two million is an important transportation hub connecting the east and west of the United States, and is known as the skyscraper.
home."
Chu Zihang said suddenly.
Xia Mi looked at him in surprise, looking at the boy outlined in the sky, narrowed his eyes, and said softly:
"Chicago is located in Illinois, and the name of Illinois comes from the Indian tribe of Illinois. Brother, what do you want to explain?"
Chu Zihang looked back: "I just suddenly felt a little emotional about the cruelty of human history."
Xia Mi tilted his head slightly: "The history of any period of exploration and conquest is always crueler than you can imagine. When everything is in ruins, there is no restraint of law or morality. In the words of some people,
The 'human nature' of this period will be completely suppressed by the 'animal nature'."
Chu Zihang was silent for a while, nodded, and then asked: "What about the Dragon Clan? Do the Dragon Clan possess human nature, animality, or divinity?"
"Let's see how we divide it." Xia Mi put on her sunglasses again, with an expression that said she doesn't love anyone, she said lazily, "Some people think that human nature is the sublimation of animal nature, while divinity is a further sublimation of human nature.
This is a stepped relationship. Some people propose that every intelligent creature is born with these three natures. The three natures exist at the same time, are opposed to each other, and are interdependent. It is the mutual restraint and coexistence of these three natures that creates human beings.
Such an incredibly complex and cunning species."
"Complex and cunning?" Chu Zihang chewed on these two words, "I can understand the complexity, why is there cunning?"
"Humph, aren't humans cunning?" Xia Mi snorted, "In my opinion, the so-called 'human nature' is the greatest cunning of human beings, which is to carve out a clearing between 'divine nature' and 'animal nature'.
Then stuff the messy emotions inside, which is called 'human nature', and use it to imprison yourself and others..."
Chu Zihang smiled silently and said softly: "What do you think junior brother is doing now?"
Xia Mi raised his head and looked at Chu Zihang, with a slight smile on his lips: "Why did Mr. Xia suddenly change the topic?"
"Probably, because I am a cunning human being?" Chu Zihang lowered his head, reached out to take off Xia Mi's sunglasses, and stared at her obsidian eyes. His tone was a dull question. He didn't know whether he was asking himself or whether he was talking about something.
asked the girl in front of me.
This strange combination of tone and expression seemed strangely harmonious on the man in front of me.
Xia Mi bared his teeth, raised his fist and punched him on the shoulder.
"Dragon clan..." Chu Zihang suddenly hesitated, "What's the point of proposing marriage?"
Xia Mi snorted: "What do you want to do? I haven't reached the legal age for marriage yet. Do you dare to come to my door? Do you believe that my brother will punch you to death?"
"I will ask my junior brother to be a matchmaker." Chu Zihang's expression did not change, obviously he was well prepared.
Xia Mi's eyes widened slightly: "Senior brother, you alone have directly raised the upper limit of cunning for all mankind!"
"As long as I can marry you home, I can bear the price for the time being." Chu Zihang showed a rare and obvious smile.
It's hard to imagine that this paralyzed face could show such a natural and pure smile. In the past, this guy's "silent smile" was nothing more than a grin.
Xia Mi stared at him unblinkingly. After a long time, the girl looked seriously like a housewife who discovered that her husband was having an affair:
"Who taught you this?"
"……Caesar."
Forced by the captivating gaze, Chu Zihang explained honestly.
"Senior Brother Caesar knows it very well." Xia Mi narrowed his eyes slightly in a dangerous arc.
"He said that as a master of love and a senior in the industry, he should give me and my junior brother some guidance." Chu Zihang almost restated what Caesar said that day.
"Play with him more in the future."
Xia Mi said seriously, "That kid is so bad, don't play with him in the future."
Chu Zihang was startled and frowned. Did he hear it wrong?
"Do you even need to guess? Senior Brother Lu must be dragging Eri around Chicago now." Xia Mi wrinkled his nose slightly, "Humph, this bad guy knows how to kidnap and traffick girls from good families, and he dares to let me go!"
The instant change of topic made Chu Zihang feel familiar, but now was obviously not the time to care about it.
He thought for a while and said: "It's summer now. I heard from the seniors in school that summer in Chicago is the best. If I were a junior, I would rent a car and take the girl I like along the coastal highway.
Open from early morning to dusk, facing the sea breeze and the orange sunset in the distance."
Xia Mi's eyes lit up and he said: "Let's go! Let's rent a car too! Go to Linhai Highway to intercept him!"
Chu Zihang shook his head, put on his sunglasses again, and said in a calm tone: "We are going to rent a car, but we are not looking for our junior brother. We will go to Chicago for a day and then look for him."
He took Xia Mi's hand and strode out of the Chicago airport facing the early morning sunshine in a foreign country. What filled their field of vision at that moment was the golden sunshine of this midsummer.
Their figures gradually transformed into a lake under the golden sunlight.
Planes roared overhead, flying over the city and casting large shadows. The roaring engines, full of passengers, were carried by the wind and flew away into the distance.
…
…
The faint sunlight at dusk fell on the brown-black desk. The windows in the house were half-opened and half-closed. The white gauze curtains were slightly fluttered by the midsummer breeze, just like the skirt of a girl on the ramp being blown up by the wind, revealing the unique scenery of midsummer.
.
Outside the window, the rising tide crashes on the black rocks along the coast, splashing white waves.
A flock of seabirds fluttered hurriedly over the fortress standing on the cliff, leaving behind a few chaotic bird calls that sounded like warnings.
A man in a black crisp suit stood silently in front of the window. If it weren't for the cigar smoke, he would really be like a stone statue that has been silent for many years.
The man stood in front of the window and looked at the leaden sky getting closer and closer in the distance, but there was no wave in his eyes.
There is a dangerous aura flowing in the air. If you listen carefully, you will hear the panicked sounds of animals coming from around the castle, and the sound of the distant ocean tide becomes deeper and deeper.
Heavy rain is coming.
The old man, whose skin was as pale as the thick limestone tombstone next to the statue, slowly said: "What is that girl's name, where does she live, how many people are in the family, and what kind of jobs do her parents do? They should all be of mixed race, right? What's their ancestry? Chinese.
How is the way to propose marriage different from that in the UK?"
The old man standing in front of the window turned around, and it was Angers who left Chicago overnight last night.
He looked strange and said: "Why, are you still planning to propose marriage to him in person? Is it your turn to do this?"
Beowulf raised his head in displeasure: "It's not my turn? I'm his godfather. If I don't come forward in this kind of thing, could it be his stepfather's turn?"
"Speaking of which..." Ange pondered, "Did Chu Zihang's stepfather investigate? Is it confirmed that he is just an ordinary person?"
"I've investigated it, and he's a good man." Beowulf said calmly.
"A good person?" Angers raised his eyebrows.
"In a sense, he is indeed a good man." Beowulf sighed, "If you don't talk about this, what do you want to say when you come to me?"
"Damn it, it's obviously you who came to me, why did I come to find you?" Angers said dissatisfied.
"I didn't come to see you." Beowulf shook his head and denied, "I just called you to confirm whether it is true that my godson has the person he likes. As a parent, I have the right to ask the school about my godson's status at school. Yes.
You have to come and visit yourself. To be honest Angers, I don't really want to see you. Although I don't hate you, you always bring me troubles every time we meet."
"Just bear with it a little longer," Angers consoled him. "It's almost enough to bear with it until December 21 next year."
"December 21st?" Beowulf frowned, "Do you still believe in the end of the world?"
"Maybe earlier." Angers shrugged, "The current situation is so bad that some people may use it to criticize my inaction at the next school board meeting."
"How bad is the situation?" Beowulf said solemnly. He knew Angers' character well, and the "bad" coming out of his mouth was by no means a trivial matter, but a danger that the entire secret party was prepared to prepare for.
"Twelve red emergencies occurred overnight, and a mysterious third party appeared. We are not even sure if there is a fourth party. Do you still remember the Nordic mythology we talked about back then?" Angers said slowly.
