Boundary Convention

"You have to ask me, what is the biggest difference between humans and monkeys.

If I explain it to you from the perspective of biology, genetics, and sociology, you will definitely not be able to understand it, and it will waste too much time and energy. Well, let me explain it to you in the simplest way—even a three-year-old child can understand it.

Monkeys don't know how to use fire.

Yes, monkeys don't know how to use fire, and on the contrary, monkeys are largely afraid of fire.

In what used to be called Brazil, there lived a monkey called the brown haired monk monkey. Of course, it is now extinct. There were still one or two specimens in my library, but some terrorist It was a pity that it was burned when the ship was set ablaze.

This kind of monkey is very interesting. It was once considered to be the closest to the existence of 'ape' in the eyes of good things illiterates. They thought that this species was only one step away from evolution. The reason was that they could use tools. The coconuts are stored, dried in the sun, and then placed on a relatively flat stone shaped like a mortar, and then smashed open with a stone.

At first glance, such behavior is indeed very clever, but it is not enough. Ordinary people shout in surprise that they have stepped into the edge of civilization, but in fact this is a kind of arrogance and ignorance of civilization.

How long is human history? Four thousand years, five thousand years? No, the Yuanmou people have a history of 1.7 million years, and this is only the limit that human archaeological work can explore before the great flood. The history of human beings is much longer than we know.

Although there is no physical evidence, according to my calculations, human evolution should be at least five million years old.

Among these 5 million years, the nearest meaningful ones are only 4,000 years, 2,000 BC and 2,000 AD. But that's just a drop in the ocean, so why is this happening?

After possessing the tinder, human beings slowly obtained the key to evolution? No, more than that, before the great flood, there were frequent wildfires in the wild lands of the earth. Except for humans, there are many opportunities for animals to get fire, but only humans have learned how to use fire and know how to use it. Use fire to cook food, scare off predators, and even move or preserve fire.

But to this day, monkeys still don’t know how to use fire, and wolves, tigers, and leopards still shrink back when they see flames... You see, is this the same as some short-sighted and contemptuous people who shouted wildly after seeing my work? ?

It is not fire that drives man to evolve, but the ability to use fire.

The same is true of my plan, I don't want humans to evolve directly, but to give humans evolution..."

The playback of the video stopped abruptly, and the huge play button in the center of the screen covered the triumphant and chilling face.

This video is the 'justification' that she sent back to the coalition government before Mo Shixin was wanted by the entire coalition government, but there is no 'reflection' on the crimes she committed, and there is not even a little excuse , asking for forgiveness. What fills the entire video is her sense of superiority as a technological elite, as well as pure "naturalness".

In the past 20 years, this woman has ignored and trampled on the constitution formulated by the coalition government countless times. The coalition government and the GST and the supervisory committee in the middle have nothing to do. Everyone in the world says that these 20 years are the 20 years when the comprehensive strength of the GST has reached its peak, and it is also the 20 years when the coalition government has no sense of existence.

In front of the screen, the person watching this video is the current GST security captain Zwingli, a person of order who likes to stick to the rules and belongs to the coalition government at heart. Just yesterday, the coalition government announced the news that shocked the world. Mo Shixin, the former GST CEO, was arrested and brought to justice six years after his defection.

According to the news, Mo Shixin and her personal bodyguard Wakazuki Uragi were captured in an underground casino in the Gulf of Guinea, and then the GST handed them over to the Supreme Justice Department of the coalition government. After being arrested, the renegade king wore shackles made of new materials and an exaggerated electronic mouth cage. For people like Mo Shixin, this thing is no different from a shame mask, and what is even more ironic is that Mo Shixin asked Ruoyue to improve the electronic mouth cage from the traditional mouth cage, and it was used to interrogate some extremely Difficult, spitting jerk.

Regarding the news of Mo Shixin's arrest, GST did not know it in advance, and GST employees including Zwingli also learned about it from the public media. About an hour after learning about the matter, Zwingli received this video and a letter of appointment from GST. The coalition government and the supervisory committee decided together that Zwingli would conduct a 30-day investigation on Mo Shixin. During the uninterrupted interrogation, another executive, Ingolf, was sent to continue hunting down the remaining members of the eternal dead. Zwingli expressed both excitement and fear at the same time. He understood that this was an opportunity and a test for him from above.

Zwingli began to look up all the information related to Mo Shixin, from any trivia that happened during her entry into GST to becoming CEO, Zwingli did not want any loopholes in the interrogation. He also re-read the historical documents about GST. From how GST started as a scientific research institution with only a few people in the early 21st century to how it developed to the present huge scientific and technological empire, and all kinds of deeds, large or small, during this period, he fully understood investigated one by one. Zwingli had to know these things by heart, so as to avoid embarrassing himself in front of this arrogant woman. He hoped that this woman could plead guilty legally.

For Mo Shixin, Zwingli has very complicated emotions in his heart. On the one hand, he has great respect and admiration for the former GST executive named "Queen of Science", and on the other hand, Zwingli There are many reasons to be hostile to this treacherous woman—she is a survivor of the Iceland tragedy and the biggest suspect, and his father died because of it.

In private, it’s not that Zwingli didn’t investigate the connection between this woman and the tragedy in Iceland, and some of the clues pointed in the direction that he had to interrupt his investigation—like Ingolf, he also found that Some things they should not know, such as the disappearance of Lana Ginsburg's body. He figured it might be better not to touch the truth before he made himself troubled by it.

However, there was one thing that Zwingli always cared about.

That's how GST managed to catch Mo Shixin. All along, he was basically only responsible for maintaining the order in New Milan, and did not exceed his authority to get involved in the case about Mo Shixin. The reason why Mo Shixin has defected for many years is nothing more than the huge energy network she built before, coupled with the possible selfishness of another executive, Ingolf, it is normal that she cannot catch Mo Shixin—but why is she in At this point in time, Mo Shixin was suddenly captured by the GST instead of the coalition government.

After Mo Shixin was delisted, the entire GST is basically under the control of the coalition government. Although it has independent operating rights, its current members are basically appointed by the coalition government, and then they can only be hired after strict review by the supervisory committee. , if there is any action, the above must be clear. But this time, regarding the method of capturing Mo Shixin, GST has always been evasive. It is obvious that there is something to hide. Moreover, in order to avoid the previous situation where GST controlled the coalition government, the coalition government strictly restricted GST's armed forces. There are no other armed personnel, including mercenaries, other than the security personnel and the "puppet army" established by Charter Ingolf. Then where did they come from to capture Mo Shi's heart? Or, who ordered the capture? Ingolf? That's absolutely impossible. If it could be caught, it would have been caught long ago.

At night, Zwingli received the materials from the GST archives. After a busy day, he had to go to the living room to continue to read the files, and this time the materials were never involved in him before——Mo Shixin childhood. Zwingli read it word by word, not daring to miss every detail, when suddenly he discovered a strange thing.

There are more or less personnel changes in GST every year, which is normal for such a large enterprise, because for the consideration of business handover, GST will record the whereabouts of resigned personnel to avoid possible miscommunication smooth. In the year Mo Shixin was born, 12 medical staff members of the GST Affiliated Hospital resigned one after another, and their whereabouts were unknown. The time happened to be within a few weeks of Mo Shixin's birth.

Zwenli pondered for a long time on the sofa in the living room, feeling more and more unreasonable. He suddenly thought of what Mo Shixin said in the video, and felt that something was wrong. He looked at the wanton fire in the fireplace , talking to himself.

"Monkeys are afraid of fire..."

"Man uses fire..."

"Monkeys, flames, people..."

"12 Doctors and a Vanishing Corpse..."

"Who's the monkey?"

"Is someone playing with fire?"
