Adrian originally planned to stay on White Shield for one night, and return to Na'vi main star to pick up Zhong Yan the next day, but now he rushed home overnight.
Zhong Yan was not in the house, Adrian went to the backyard through the opened back door.
The interstellar giant rabbit cub was lying sideways on the grass, Zhong Yan was sitting on its back, and there was a small white ball lying on his shoulder, which was the ordinary rabbit cub.
The two rabbits were sleeping, and Zhong Yan looked up at the stars in the sky in a trance.
"Zhong Yan."
Adrian called his name, and Zhong Yan, who was sitting on the rabbit's back, lowered his head, his expression as calm as water, and he said, "Have you met Mr. Kaman? Didn't you say you won't be back tonight?"
He already knew he knew. It was also normal, before he left in a hurry, he confirmed the time of the promulgation of the ban to Intelun, and this behavior was passed on to Zhong Yan through several people, and Zhong Yan naturally understood that he already knew.
"You're really well-informed," Adrian said.
Zhong Yan nodded and said, "It is directly proportional to the energy and money I put into it."
Adrian wanted to ask a lot of questions for a while, but when he saw the small ball of white fur lying on Zhong Yan's shoulder, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he blurted out, "How did that rabbit on your shoulder get here?" of?"
Zhong Yan smiled softly, "Don't be nervous. I asked the owner of the steakhouse to buy this."
"When did you hook up with the steak house owner?"
"Don't speak so harshly. That day I went back to get the scarf and chatted with the boss very well, and we just left each other's contact information." Zhong Yan took the little white rabbit off his shoulder, put it in the palm of his hand, and gently smoothed its fur, " I don’t have anyone in the Na’vi sector, and as far as I know, the people arranged by the Supreme Council have not been successful, so don’t worry.”
"I know. They told me today that the 'specimen' has a rule not to touch the Navi sector." Adrian stood a few steps away from the giant rabbit cub, his voice was not high, but he could hear it in the quiet night Unusually clear, "Why?"
"'Specimen' is an organization dedicated to overthrowing the rule of artificial intelligence. The focus of infiltration is the capital star where the natural artificial intelligence itself is located. Why should I listen to friendly intelligence?"
Adrian stood on the ground without saying a word and looked up at him. After looking at each other for a few seconds, Zhong Yan said: "Okay. Because I know you hate this kind of thing. , it is impossible to reach a cooperation in the future.”
"So, it's not a coincidence that we met outside the school's specimen." Adrian said, "So, after the juice store collapsed, you bought that store."
"The juice shop is not closed, I bought it at a high price." Zhong Yan looked away, looked straight ahead and said, "I haven't been able to contact you for seven years, and finally I have a chance to meet you face to face, so I went Waiting for you there."
"What if I don't accept the invitation and don't go to the school celebration?"
"You will go. If you do not accept the invitation, you will soon receive a message from 'Specimen', telling you that we hope you will be present to pick up the important list. If you decline, I will arrange for a core member of the organization to go to The stronghold of the school, let me tell you that there are high-level organizations who want to meet with you in person. If you still hesitate, I will continue to increase the stakes until you agree to participate in the school celebration."
"Just to see me?"
"Just to see you."
Adrian asked: "Since we met, why didn't you tell me?"
"What's the point of telling you?" Zhong Yan looked at him again, and asked back, "So that you can cut off contact with the 'specimen' from now on? I know you too well, you don't like to stir up the situation behind your back, The only reason you can tolerate those unfair means is that you think the starting point of this organization is correct, those who achieve big things don’t care about small things. But when you learn that the leader of this underground resistance organization is me, and I don’t care about the freedom of human will at all If you are not free, will you continue to cooperate?"
"This is exactly what I came back to confirm with you. I asked you before why you came to the Na'vi sector. You said that 'Die' and Peisen conspired to threaten your seat, but the establishment of 'Specimen' is far from Before you discovered the change in 'Butterfly''s temperament. You were plotting to overthrow the rule of 'Butterfly' many years ago. Why?" Adrian asked word by word, "What exactly do you want?"
Zhong Yan did not answer immediately. He put the little white rabbit sleeping in a ball back on his shoulders, stood up on the giant rabbit's back, cast his eyes on the far and bright starry sky above his head, and sighed almost softly: "The starry sky is so beautiful. The only way to stand up The higher...the more beautiful the scenery can be seen."
Adrian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Aren't you standing tall enough?"
Standing on the back of the giant rabbit, Zhong Yan lowered his head and lowered his eyes, looking down at Adrian. He stretched out a hand to press his ribs - Adrian knew that there was a shameful scar there, which was the imprint left by Zhong Yan's unbearable youth.
"Not high enough. The so-called peak power twelve people are actually not equal. Even if they are equal... that is not the peak, but above ten thousand people, under one 'person'." Zhong Yan's voice was very soft, If the picture is frozen at this moment, his beautiful face even has a peaceful smile, no one would have thought that what he is confiding at this moment is that in this vast federation of thousands of planets, in this grand era, a human being can have "It's too crowded for twelve people to stand together. I want that unique, highest position."
Even Adrian was unable to speak for a while. The giant rabbit cub was lying on its side, and Zhong Yan walked down its legs, bypassing the rabbit and heading towards the house.
"Let's go back and talk." Zhong Yan said when passing by Adrian.
Adrian followed him without a word. The two returned to the room, Zhong Yan gently put the sleeping bunny on his shoulder into the box, and then sat on the sofa opposite Adrian.
As soon as he sat down, Adrian said, "You lied to them."
"I have lied to everyone in this world except you. Who are you talking about?"
He seemed to have no remorse, and Adrian suppressed his anger and said: "Those passionate members of the 'specimen' organization, you used them to realize your own desires! They thought they were fighting for the overthrow of artificial intelligence." Work hard, but actually it is helping you get to the top!"
"I want to be in the position, but the premise that I can be in the position is that the position must be occupied by a human being. There is no cheating or cheating. The 'Specimen' has been established for more than four years, and everything it does is to promote human autonomy. And once human autonomy is realized," Zhong Yan said, "there will always be someone who will take over."
"And this person should not be you."
"Why can't it be me?"
"Because you are not suitable!" Adrian said sharply, "There is no world in your heart, no righteousness, only your own selfish desires!"
Zhong Yan was silent for two seconds, then suddenly said: "Don't you think you are being too harsh on me?"
"What?" Adrian repeated incredulously, "I'm being too harsh on you?"
Zhong Yan took a deep breath, "I have been in the Supreme Council for seven years, and I have never done anything that is sorry for the world or righteousness. If one day I can sit in that position, I will naturally work hard. A sage talks about deeds, regardless of heart, And you are asking me to be more saintly than a saint! As long as a leader can manage the territory well and benefit his people, is the leader in his heart filled with the world or desire for power? What's the difference just to consolidate your position?"
"Yes." Adrian said coldly, "That's the whole difference."
Zhong Yan's eyes also turned cold. As he sat there, the expression on his face gradually faded, leaving only a flawless mask, and he said softly: "So what? Only you know the whole world. If the great event can be accomplished, and the meritorious service will be settled in the future, I will naturally... do my part."
Adrian sneered and said: "Zhong Yan, you once said that I was naive, we don't know who is more naive—you think you can overthrow the human society that has ruled the human society for hundreds of years just with your conspiracies and schemes. system, and then transfer power in a safe and secure way? What we are talking about is a complete overturn of an era, not you competing with those seniors and sisters for the position of student council president in the highest institution! You are not here to investigate Nawei’s military situation Is it? It seems that no matter what, in the next limited period of time, we are temporarily on the same boat. Since you have given the bottom line, I might as well give you the bottom line. Not long ago, the Na'vi star area , no longer exists."
Zhong Yan was taken aback, and asked, "What do you mean? What does it mean that the Na'vi star area no longer exists? Aren't we now on the main star of the Na'vi star area?"
"This is the Na'vi military area, not the Na'vi star area."
The Federation currently has fifty-three star regions, and each star region has one or more militarized planets. These planets stationed with federal troops are called military regions.
The original military area of the Na'vi star area was a few other planets, but after Adrian occupied the district council by force, the headquarters of the general area was moved to the main star, Na Viland. Zhong Yan thought about it, and slowly said: "Your current headquarters is here, and you call this a military region... that's right."
Adrian still looked at him and didn't speak.
This is the Na'vi military area, not the Na'vi star area. The Na'vi star area no longer exists.
Zhong Yan gradually came to his senses, and a little bit of surprise surfaced on his expression. He said slowly, "Navier sector...in the 53rd star sector...where are the other planets?"
Adrian didn't answer directly, but just showed a sneer, he said: "It's the right choice for Capital Star not to have any armed conflict with me."
Zhong Yan murmured in disbelief: "All the planets have already been included in the military area?! How many troops and weapons and equipment have you hoarded?"
"It's too much to ask, Congressman." Adrian said lightly, "Why don't you tell me what information and plans you have in your terminal?"
"How long have you been the commander-in-chief? I said why all the public opinion is promoted by me, and you put all your energy on developing military power? The entire Na'vi, the entire star sector, are all soldiers?! What do you want to do?"
"Mr. Member of Parliament, with your keen political sense, can't you see what this signal is?"
Zhong Yan ignored his sarcasm, stood up uncontrollably, and said sharply, "Adrian Yate! Are you crazy? You want a military commander?!"
Comparing Zhong Yan's excitement, Adrian seemed quite calm. He also stood up and took a step forward to stand in front of Zhong Yan. He lowered his head to stare into Zhong Yan's startled and angry eyes, and asked, "Are you still doing your part?"
