Evolved From Polluting the World

Knock first.

It's not the same as the sound of other doors, it's not "dong dong dong", but "zizizi".

It is the sound of electric current.

This is somewhat inconsistent with conventional understanding and general physical properties of materials.

The door opened automatically.

The lights inside were a little dim, as if the main light was turned off at night and the mood light was turned on.

It's not as spacious inside as expected. At least, compared to the high-ranking position of "General Affairs", it is a bit narrow.

There is a matching desk and chair, a row of sofas and coffee tables, and then there is nothing. This office doesn't even have windows. Once the door is closed, it's like a secret room, as dark and airtight as possible, and the oppressive breath blows in, as if the GM will notify the escape from the secret room at the next moment.

What's even more depressing is that there is no one inside.

Qiao Xun stood in the office and looked left and right. "Zhenru"'s retrieval of environmental information is extremely simple, and it only stays at the level of being able to recognize that a table is a table. He still doesn't know whether it's because there is a talent for concealing information here, or whether the environmental information is really that simple.

"Mr. General Affairs, I'm the fourth group leader of the new correction team, and I'm here to report to you." Qiao Xun said tentatively.

crunch crunch—

The voice sounded continuously, like some inferior robot walking.

Later, Qiao Xun saw that on the general affairs desk, a fist-sized clockwork toy shook to the edge of the desk. Seeing that he was about to fall off the desk, Qiao Xun subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him. But the toy stopped abruptly at the tipping point of falling.

Qiao Xun took a deep breath. He found that in the brief few seconds just now, he was a little moved by this toy.

Toys are the kind that are very common when I was a child. Wind up the toy and put it on the ground, and it will make its own structurally designed movements, such as walking, rolling, dancing and so on.

The toy on the desk is a spotted hyena.

Suddenly, the spotted hyena toy spoke,

"On the African grasslands, the lions at the top of the food chain are of course the most popular. They are powerful, noble in temperament, and even their appearance has been carefully fabricated by the creator. As a matter of course, they are the most concerned and are considered to be the They stand in the position of kings. But I always feel that spotted hyenas are the most perfect predators. They are united and orderly, they are knowledgeable, they judge the situation, they are waiting for opportunities, they are like a group of people wandering on the edge of the core area. Hunters like to obtain the most abundant food at the least cost, and at the same time, they are never picky about food and taboos, and know that living is the first rule of survival. Such an image makes them often insidious and cunning in film and television dramas. , in literary works, he almost only appears as a villain.

"However, the pretentious human beings who are well-fed and well-fed, in order to satisfy their desire for nature after breaking away from the ecological niche, even try to empathize with the beasts who only know how to survive. They have always used the words 'empathy is the characteristic of human beings'. Come to comfort yourself in order to achieve spiritual pleasure.

"Then, my friend, what do you think?"

The voice of the spotted hyena toy seemed to be soaked in water, became very wet, and lost its original recognition.

Qiao Xun didn't know why there was such an opening remark for this interview.

He believes that no matter whether this is a temptation or not, but at this time, instead of carefully choosing words and phrases, it is good to answer naturally and casually:

"You are right, humans have left their natural ecological niche and are not on the food chain. The span of physical change is often measured in '10,000 years', which is too far for a human with a lifespan of less than 180 years. But The evolutionary instinct of living things is always engraved in the genes. It is impossible to feel the ascension-like changes in the body, but to seek sublimation in the spirit. Full of warmth, thinking about **, rich and thinking about life."

The spotted hyena spoke again,

"But now, the tide of evolution has come. This kind of large-scale selection against nature has allowed humans to reduce evolution from the scale of 10,000 years to a hundred, ten, one year, or even shorter. Under such circumstances, spiritual Can the sublimation continue?"

Qiao Xun paused.

This way of thinking is very novel.

If the spiritual sublimation is regarded as the non-stop thinking of human beings, then this issue is quite academic. The non-stop and never-ending thinking of human beings has created the full bloom of culture, art, technology, philosophy, religion and other fields. Under the pressure of the environment, the need for evolution cannot be realized in the body, so the field of spiritual thinking is naturally the best choice.

But now, physical evolution has been realized.

Then, what about the field of spiritual thinking?

If everyone can evolve, how will the human technology tree and literary philosophy develop now?

When this question was suddenly put in front of Qiao Xun. He found that he was a little helpless.

He thought about it and replied,

"This question is probably not something I can think clearly about alone. Perhaps, it needs all human beings to answer it together."

If you don't understand, just tell the truth, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

"Yes. Fortunately, I didn't hear an answer you took for granted. Well, Team Leader Qiao Xun, you're shocked. Please sit down and let's get to know each other well."

Qiao Xun asked suspiciously:

"Is Mr. General Manager not here?"

"Hehe, yes. I'm sorry, I'm not in the correction area at the moment, so I have to talk to you in this way. However, we will definitely have a more formal interview next time."

"Well, Mr. General Manager is convenient."

Qiao Xun sat down on the sofa.

Spotted Hyena Toys asks:

"Have you already had a certain understanding of corrections?"

"Well, the basic affairs are almost understood. The related matters in the group are being adjusted."

"In fact, what worries me more is the internal problems of the fourth group. Leader Shi Qi is an excellent train staff, and his strength and personal character have been unanimously praised by the correction committee. Therefore, in the fourth group You have quite a lot of prestige and status. I was worried at first if you could handle it well, but now it seems that you are handling it well.”

Qiao Xun was surprised,

"Does Mr. General Manager already know?"

"Hehe, of course. After all, I'm the general manager."

Qiao Xun was heartbroken. Jiang You said that anything in the correction group could not be concealed from the general affairs, and now it seems...

The spotted hyena toy continued to vibrate and sound,

"The sea train has been running too fast for nearly a year, and many processes have been advanced. On the way forward at high speed, some problems will inevitably occur, which will exist in any social environment. This year, corrections will be made. The workload has obviously increased a lot. I discussed with Mr. Chief Secretary that in the next year, the workload will continue to increase. Therefore, Qiao Xun team leader, I have to work hard for you. "

"This is my duty. I am in my position, do my best, and do my best."

"The social structure of sea trains is rather special. Therefore, we are uprooted in the process of dealing with problems. Because the means are very harsh, it is inevitable that there will be some antagonistic existences under the trees on the train. The handling of this relationship is also every correction. What the team has to face when performing tasks. As a team leader, your responsibilities may be heavier.”

"Well, I know. I will study hard to become a competent team leader."

"Hehe, why do you need to learn? I always have pioneering expectations for you. It is better to let others learn than to learn from others."

"Mr. General Affairs has a much higher vision than me."

"Don't be humble either. The sea train is a society where ability is paramount. It's not feasible for people to form cliques and communicate with one another. If you have a good opinion, you can refute me immediately."

This general manager looks... oh no, it sounds normal, very much like what a leader would say.

Qiao Xun smiled,

"Mr. General Affairs, I will keep it in mind."

"That's what the correction team has asked of you. Then, Captain Qiao Xun, what are your requirements for the correction team?"

Qiao Xun paused for a moment.

This question... why does the general manager ask such a question?

"My request for the correction team?"

"Yes. You, the correction team needs to do something for you." The deep, moist tone fell heavily in his ears.

Qiao Xun's mind turned quickly.

This sentence sounds like something like "employees' requirements for the company's welfare benefits".

However, the benefits of the train are fixed at each location, and there are no additional requirements.

So, this sentence has another meaning.

Qiao Xun first tentatively answered:

"I don't have any special requirements for the correction team. I should obey the train's arrangements."

"No, you have needs. I already feel it."

Qiao Xun's expression and body did not respond, but his heart couldn't help but become active.

The general affairs have already felt that I have a need? Do I feel my need, or do I have a need?

The difference of a single word can have completely different meanings.

The mysterious and powerful general manager put pressure on Qiao Xun. The pressure was aggravated in the airtight office, and the shaking spotted hyena toy made a creaking sound, unattractive, slow and irregular sound rhythm, and people couldn't help being distracted, with the urge to smash the toy with a punch.

No... this feeling is not normal.

Qiao Xun's rationality told Consciousness over and over again that this feeling is not normal, and there must be special factors interfering with it. But he didn't know what. The environmental information is so rudimentary that Zhenru simply cannot extract useful content in such a situation.

How to answer. Lie or tell the truth.

The general affairs are too mysterious, and Qiao Xun has no way of knowing whether his lying skills can be deceived. If he can't hide it, he will inevitably make his identity suspicious, which will inevitably affect Agnes' arrangement.

At this time, think about it, if it was Agnes, what would he say.

Qiao Xun thought about Agnes.

Her beautiful, fantasy eyes felt him in her brain. He felt the eyes too.

Agnes... what would you say?

"Agnes..." Her image became clearer in Qiao Xun's mind.

Sick appearance, withered temperament, as well as petty brushstrokes and meaningless trifles in her letters.

letter…

By the way, the letter Agnes wrote to me!

Qiao Xun was moved.

He moved out the contents of the letter intact,

"Mr. General Affairs, I've been feeling depressed recently, and I've always thought about the meaning of my life for so long. Although I've had this kind of thinking dozens of times, but this time, it's special."

Dead silence.

After saying those words, the closed office was dead silent.

Ten seconds later, the spotted hyena toy shook again.

"So, what can the correction team do for you?"

"Let me think about it. I will figure out the meaning of life."

Another ten seconds.

The spotted hyena toy is no longer shaking this time, and the tone is no longer moist.

"I hope you can figure it out as soon as possible, Team Leader Qiao Xun. You are welcome to join the correction team, and I look forward to the changes you can bring to the correction team."

Qiao Xun stood up and bowed slightly,

"Me too, Mr. General Manager."

"Next time, we will have a more formal meeting."

"Okay, then I'll say goodbye first."

"Please."

Qiao Xun walked out of the office and left naturally.

After walking out of the second building, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Relying on the contents of that letter, we can safely pass this test. After all, one cannot doubt what the demigods say.

Agnes' provocative smile became cute in Qiao Xun's heart at this moment.

"Agnes Jean Hibernian..."

…

In the confined and cramped office, the spotted hyena toy stood alone on the empty desk.

At a certain moment, the door was pushed open, and the light shone through the gap, embellishing the dark office with a touch of spatial art style.

A woman came in, picked up the toy on the table, and turned the clockwork on her back.

crunch,

crunch-

Twisted it five times.

She opened her mouth and said:

"Mr. General Manager."

"Will the new team leader who came by airborne think about the meaning of life in the busy correction team?"

"I don't think so."

"But he didn't lie. I saw his honesty in chapter five."

"The cunning rabbit has three caves. Maybe, he has special means."

"The upper deck of the train is not very stable. This feeling is very similar to six years ago."

"Do you need me to do anything?"

"I remember that three days later, it will be the year-end review of the VIP seats. After the VIP seats are restructured, aren't there VIPs who are difficult to deal with? Arrange for the fourth group to test and test, what skills does the new team leader have?"

"Okay. Mr. General Manager, are there any other arrangements?"

"Isn't the investigation of the second carriage in the livestock area clear?"

"I can't go deep. I don't know if the power zone is blocking it or the control zone."

"Maybe it's the restraint area. The 'diplomats' of Hei Ge didn't make serious representations until the end. It seems that they have failed. In just one year, two major failures, can't help but think that it is the era of sea trains. . It depends on what the No. 1 train captain thinks."

"Nevertheless, Heige's 'Wanderer' has become more active lately. She may become the new king. Incredibly, she was just a twenty-one-year-old ordinary human woman named Yu Xiaoshu a year ago. , is unacceptably common."

"But isn't evolution just so wonderful?"

"You are right."

"Okay, Ann, let's do your thing."

"OK."

The spotted hyena toy stopped shaking.

The door of the office was closed, taking away the light.

Everything returned to silence.
