Tan Yan couldn't bear to see Qiao Zhixue bullying a fawn that could accompany him to another world, and couldn't help but say, "Generally speaking, when we police handle civil cases like this, if we can obtain the forgiveness of the parties involved, we can mediate privately."

The little deer ran back to Tan Yan, revealing half of its face to peek at Qiao Zhixue.

Qiao Zhixue pushed up his glasses and said, "But at least he has to pay for the medical expenses. Does he have the money?"

Little Deer: “…”

"I have some." Tan Yan touched Xiaolu's head, "I... have worked for so many years, so I have some assets."

Liang Xian: “…”

I don’t know why, but every word Tan Yan says now hurts my heart.

"I was just kidding." Qiao Zhixue said.

Yet his words didn't sound like a joke at all.

"This is the first time for the deer. No one knows this will happen, so let it go. I just want everyone to realize that it is very dangerous for a non-human creature to have human intelligence." Qiao Zhixue said seriously, "He has human wisdom and will not be willing to be kept in captivity. He knows a lot of knowledge and has superpowers. Even if he is locked up, it may not be possible to prevent him from escaping. If an animal without any legal and moral constraints, with superpowers and high education develops an antisocial mentality, it will cause great harm to this society."

"Of course, I'm not saying that what you did was wrong. The existence of the deer has given us new discoveries, and saving him is still very valuable. But in the future in the other world, you must think twice about everything you do." Qiao Zhixue said again.

At this time, Minister Yu also said: "Exchanges between two countries may cause species invasion or cultural invasion, let alone two worlds. Everyone must be careful in the other world and do not bring back creatures from other worlds."

Everyone nodded, and Tan Yan also realized that his momentary weakness might have a great impact and would not be good for Xiaolu itself, so he solemnly agreed.

"I understand your feelings," Minister Yu continued. "As a police officer whose duty is to protect the lives of the people, how can you watch weak lives die before your eyes, even in another world? Saving the dying and the wounded is your duty, and no one will blame you. But... we are only human after all, and there are always things beyond our ability. Do what you can, understand?"

The special-powered team was taught, and they lowered their heads to ponder over what they had done.

"I didn't make you get used to death," Minister Yu continued, "because once you get used to it, you become numb, and once you become numb... you become limitless. We are all warriors, and our hands may be stained with blood in the future. But even so, every time I see a life disappear, I feel sad and powerless. Learn to be patient, but at the same time, stay humble, and deeply realize the insignificance and humbleness of human beings. This is what you will learn next."

"I understand!" Tan Yan replied firmly.

He seemed a little too soft-hearted, but this weakness was affirmed by Minister Yu. There is nothing wrong with being kind, and what he needs to do is to find a balance between rationality and sensibility.

Several old professors raised some opinions about the deer. They still couldn't accept that the deer and human minds were quantum entangled, so that they had human wisdom and could solve advanced math problems. But the young people accepted this very quickly. Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and there was no clear evidence to support them. In the end, there was no conclusion on this issue. Minister Yu asked everyone to go back and think about this issue. It didn't matter if there was no answer, after all, it was a topic under exploration.

After the old professors left, Yu Qiao and a few members of the Superpower Team were left in the meeting room, and they started a discussion about the deer's future affiliation.

"The deer will stay at the base and accompany me in research." Qiao Zhixue decided the deer's future ownership with one sentence.

Little Deer: “!!!”

He ran to Qiao Zhixue and opened his mouth to bite him, but Qiao Zhixue said, "Do you dare to bite one and try?"

Xiaolu closed his mouth aggrievedly and could only look at Qiao Zhixue with pitiful eyes. His big eyes seemed to be about to shed tears, which made people sad just by looking at them.

Seeing that Qiao Zhixue was unmoved, Xiaolu went to Tan Yan again, bit the corner of his clothes and begged bitterly.

Tan Yan softened his heart again, and he said, "Professor Qiao..."

"If you don't keep him in the base, how are you going to raise him? Put him in the dormitory?" Qiao Zhixue asked.

Tan Yan: “…”

"Even if the six of you live in the same dormitory, no one would mind raising an extra fawn, but what about other dormitories? What about the building manager? What about the Central Military Academy? In ordinary dormitories, even if you raise a cat or a dog, you will be criticized if you are caught. Do you still want to raise a deer? Do you know how big it will grow? If the school finds out and someone forcibly sends it to the zoo, will it kick and hurt others? Xu Mingyu is an insider, so we can suppress the news, but what about ordinary people? Can we do it?" Qiao Zhixue listed a series of practical difficulties, "Can you solve these difficulties?"

cannot…

"Let's say you can solve it, then what? Do you know what he eats? Can you study whether the deer in other worlds can adapt to the food on Earth? Liang Xian and Cui Heyu are good at science, so how are they doing in biology?"

Liang Xian and Cui Heyu lowered their heads. Their main research areas were military technology, which had nothing to do with biology.

"Then Professor Qiao, your biology..." Cui Heyu asked somewhat unconvinced.

"I can teach myself, it shouldn't be too difficult." Qiao Zhixue said lightly.

Tan Yan: “…”

He found it... difficult.

Faced with difficulties, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to hand the deer over to Professor Qiao. Tan Yan could only touch his head and said, "I will come to see you often."

"Yo~ Yo~" the little deer let out a sad cry like crying.

"Let me give you a name, how about Tan Lu? The 'lu' in 'road' sounds the same as 'lu'. You have left your own world, and I hope you can find your own way in the new world." Tan Yan said gently.

The little deer felt a little sad and a little happy. He actually stood up and put his head on Tan Yan's shoulder for comfort.

Liang Xian: “…”

His eyebrows twitched, and he felt that this posture... was very familiar...

"Professor Qiao," Tan Yan continued, "I have lived half my life hiding secrets. I have not dared to get married or have children. Now that I am about to retire, the organization is taking care of me. I don't have to bear the secrets alone anymore. There are so many young people who are continuing my career. In fact, I don't have any regrets. It's just that I may lack a companion when I retire in the future. Don't many elderly people raise a pet as a son after retirement? I brought Xiaolu back, and I have the responsibility to take care of him and teach him. He now has human wisdom again. Can you please... treat him more like a human being?"

Tan Yan was very worried that Tan Lu would become an experimental animal, and sincerely asked Qiao Zhixue.

Liang Xian was even more upset. The life span of a sika deer is 23-35 years. The fawn hadn't even grown antlers yet, and it looked like it was less than a year old. Judging from its age, the fawn seemed more likely to accompany Tan Yan until the end of his life.

Emma is so upset!

"Of course I will treat him as a highly intelligent being," Qiao Zhixue said as a matter of course, "otherwise, can I ask him to bear legal responsibility?"

Little Deer: “…”

"He was able to follow you into the other world alone and come back without your protection. He seems to be stronger than several team members. He will be your helper in the future. Of course, you must treat him equally."

"Really?" Tan Yan was very happy, patting the little deer's back to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, Professor Qiao won't hurt you. When Dad retires, I'll take you to open a small shop, and travel around the world in my spare time, so that you can get more familiar with the earth, okay?"

"Yo yo~~~" the little deer expressed his happiness.

Liang Xian: “…”

"Just think of it as going to school, okay?" Tan Yan continued to persuade, "Kids don't like going to school, especially when your teacher is so strict. I understand."

“Strict” Qiao Zhixue: “…”

How could he be strict? He had been so patient in teaching Tan Yan and had read high school questions to him over and over again!

Xiaolu's emotions finally calmed down, and he walked towards Qiao Zhixue, looking back every few steps, feeling very reluctant to leave.

"Be good," Tan Yan said, "just treat it as going to boarding school and learn how to be a good person from Teacher Qiao."

Everyone: “…”

Let Qiao Zhixue teach Lu how to behave

This meeting has completely changed everyone's outlook on life. They have taken in too much information at once, such as Tan Yan's 58, Lu's IQ is higher than theirs, and so on. These pieces of news, which are more shocking than superpowers, have been stuffed into their heads one after another. It's really not enough.

After Xiaolu stood next to Qiao Zhixue, everyone lay on the table, unable to lift up their bodies, not looking like the elites of the military academy at all.

Minister Yu also understood the huge mental and physical exhaustion of everyone. In fact, he was quite surprised to hear that the deer was so smart. But Minister Yu was strong. He held on and remained serious in front of everyone and was able to educate everyone, which was not easy.

"Taking into account the special nature of Qiu Qizhen's abilities, we can pool everyone's strength and bring out a stronger force, so that the overall strength of the team members can be improved and their endurance can be strengthened. We have decided to add two new members when we enter the 'void' next time. Classmates Cui and Yu will do logistics work on Earth. What do you think?" This time, Minister Yu still respected the opinions of the team members very much.

"It shouldn't be a big problem," Tan Yan said confidently, "I have the confidence to protect everyone."

"I agree." Even Liang Xian did not object this time. Qiu Qizhen's existence indeed added great possibilities to the superpower team.

"But you can no longer be willful in selecting people," Minister Yu said seriously, "Through observations during this period, we have selected several outstanding students. They have perseverance and can stick to boring interest groups. They have not raised any questions about the unreasonable actions of the organization. Moreover, after testing, they have a strong sense of confidentiality. These students are talents needed in the other world and will become your companions in the future. I will give you their names and information. Before the next 'void', focus on building good relationships with these people and promoting unity."

Minister Yu printed out each student's information and distributed it to everyone. Liang Xian took a quick look and saw that they were all second and third grade students, so he was not very familiar with them.

The first-year students of the special class will have a one-month joint exercise with the senior students in the second half of the year, so the second- and third-year students are very familiar with each other. However, Liang Xian and his classmates have not started this activity yet, so they don’t know the senior students very well.

Minister Yu: "We have been very lucky. Every team member who entered the 'Void' has awakened superpowers, but this does not mean that we will always be lucky. For example, Cui Heyu, his superpowers are excellent, but they are not suitable for exploring the other world, so he can only stay in the real world to contribute. If any team member is determined to be unable to awaken superpowers in the future, he will be eliminated and join the logistics team, but this does not mean that we are not a team. We are all teammates on the same front. We must unite as one, understand?"

"Understood!" everyone said in unison.

Minister Yu had finished speaking. He looked at Qiao Zhixue, wondering if Professor Qiao had anything to add.

Qiao Zhixue touched Xiaolu's head and said, "Since everyone knows that superpowers can be used in the real world, we should be more careful and never use them in front of others! I will bring Xiaolu to the military academy's training ground with everyone every night. Everyone can practice controlling superpowers, and no one is allowed to act on their own. The consequences of leaking secrets are not something we can bear when the conditions are not yet mature. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

"Yo!" The little deer shouted along with everyone else.

The author has something to say: I really can’t write anymore, so that’s all for today’s lunch.

In the evening... In the evening... I don't know if I can write it. I'm not in good shape today. I'll see how I rest in the afternoon.

I'm a bit confused about the upcoming plot. I do have an outline, and it's actually quite complete, but every time I arrive in a new world I don't know how to put it together, and I need to sort out my thoughts.

Let’s talk about it in the evening. If you don’t see the update at 10 o’clock, don’t wait. I will try my best to make it smooth.

Love everyone~~

ppps: It's the end of the month, the nutrient solution will expire if we don't give it to you, come on, come on, why are you still keeping it? The little deer said that it was very hungry, and it didn't know what to eat after coming to Earth, and it didn't dare to eat anything for fear of getting a stomachache, so it could only drink the nutrient solution! !
