Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

"Welcome home."

She replied, this time was obviously much more real than the time when the mechanical voice answered at the door.

Hemo put down the girl attached to him, turned around and opened the food bag, took out ingredients that the little girl had never seen before, and explained:

"Tonight we are cooking Yan national cuisine, shredded pork with green peppers."

"Green pepper shredded pork?" The little girl made a suspicious voice.Hemo patted his chest confidently, and was just about to explain at length how important the nutritional value contained in the so-called shredded pork with green peppers is to children who are growing up, when the girl asked an innocent question:

"Green pepper shredded pork, is it delicious?"

I heard that some people really can't get used to green peppers.Hemo thought to herself that this was also the first time she tried this dish, and she usually only heard it from colleagues in the company, and she had to eat it to know how it tasted.

But, to coax children, Hemo is a self-taught expert. Faced with Fiona's questioning, she didn't blush and her heart beat. She gently pinched her little face and replied:

"Of course it's delicious, the most delicious in the world."

"...Well, well then, come on, Aunt Hemer!"

"I told you not to call me Auntie." The veins on Hemer's forehead twitched again, and the faint sense of guilt that he had cheated on the child disappeared with the wind.

It sounds good, right? If you can't get used to it after a while, it will be your punishment!

Watching little Fiona run back to the room, Hemer returned his attention to cooking.As a researcher, she didn't know how to cook before, but after picking up Fiona, she unknowingly played the role of "mother", and naturally learned some cooking skills by herself.

Unexpectedly, he was exceptionally talented in this area, so Hemer studied it in depth, and now he is one of the top cooks in Rhine Life (although no one else knows about it).

Speaking of which, it's almost the one-year anniversary of finding Fiona, right?

Hemoyu still remembers that dark rainy night about a year ago. It is said that a research institute affiliated to a large company in Silicon Valley used high-energy stones in violation of regulations, which caused the entire city's Originium function network to run for several hours. A short circuit occurred within hours.It was the darkest night in the city that never sleeps in Silicon Valley.Hemer, who got off work early, failed to catch the last bus, so he could only walk back to his residence a few kilometers away.

The wind blows through the rainy day when the crowds are gradually subsiding, and the rusted railings guide the way forward. At the end of the road, among the ruins of mechanical parts that appeared at an unknown time, Hemer put an end to his ordinary but lonely life of living alone. .

There, she picked up the bruised girl and took her home for treatment.The amnesiac girl who met her by chance was finally named Fiona by her, after a "valiant and tenacious female swordsman" in the period of colonization in Colombian folklore.Hemer hopes that she can be like that "Fiona", even if she loses everything in an accident, she will firmly want to live, overcome tragedies, overcome scars, overcome illness and death, and live out her wonderful life. Life.

Thinking of the dying girl covered in scars in the ruins in his memory, Hemo chopped vegetables much harder.

Just being injured is not enough to make Hemer angry, but when dealing with it, Hemer discovered more than once that a large part of those shocking scars were man-made.

Contusions from whipping, needle holes from injections, bruises from long-term restraint, these wounds are by no means naturally formed, this child has been done with some insane things, and she who fell on the edge of the ruins at that time was probably not Accidentally exiled here, but was abandoned in that wasteland, waiting for the fate of being sent to the garbage dump and put into the incinerator by the transport truck of recycling steel scrap.

Hemer did not tolerate this kind of behavior. For a year, she conducted a detailed investigation. However, as a researcher, she was still a trainee. The resources she could mobilize and the means to obtain information in Colombia were very scarce. , even if they tried their best, they could only target the two large biotechnology companies that were competitors at the time-Rhein-Life and Loken Water Tank without breaking the law.

She joined Rhine Life, where the academic atmosphere is strong, the desire for knowledge is strong, and the regulations are also very strict. It seems that it is not doing human experiments on children and abandoning Fiona's organization, so she turned her attention to Loken Tank.

But the internal secrecy of the Loken water tank was far better than that of ordinary Columbia companies. Hemer was unable to investigate anything at all, and even almost put himself in danger several times.In desperation, she could only temporarily give up the investigation and devote herself to the research, hoping to increase her authority level in Rhine Life and obtain more social resources to investigate the illegal activities of the Loken water tank.

But this is a long process. During this process, Hemo has had the idea of ​​giving up on finding the truth more than once, so as to protect Fiona and live safely.Until recently, when the idea was at its height, she saw a glimmer of hope.

It exposed the religious corruption of Lateran, and exposed the corruption of Grand Duke Victoria. It can be said that the land of Terra is unafraid of power, sticks to justice, and most importantly, it is so capable that no one has seen its true face and found its whereabouts. reporter [Joseph Pulitzer].

With the greatest hope, Hemo sent him a request to help investigate the Loken water tank through the Londinium Morning Post. It was not only seeking allies, but also reminding himself not to forget the original intention in a comfortable life, and there may be many The child is hurting just like Fiona once was.

She thought this letter would go downhill like the anonymous letters she sent to many self-proclaimed righteous people in the past, but what she never expected was that only three days later, she received a letter from [Pulitzer] reply

——"I promise you, I will help you."

Hemer is overjoyed that he finally has an ally in his battle against the corporate behemoth, but he also worries if the Pulitzer reporter is really him, or if he's just a law enforcement phishing the bait.

Time didn't give her much chance to think about the pros and cons of the choice, and just before she was so distracted that she was about to chop the kitchen knife to her pale fingertips, she suddenly received an email reminder on her mobile phone in her trouser pocket.

"I've arrived in Columbia, are you interested in meeting me? The client." ——by Joseph Pulitzer

Hemer fell into silence, to go, or not to go, to see, or not to see?this is a problem.

Going to meet would undoubtedly come with risks, and it might even completely change her current life, but if she didn't go, the Loken tank, and so many children...

Recalling Fiona, who was covered in scars and dying, Hemer still couldn't give up this possible opportunity, and she replied:

"Tomorrow, Mobile City Silicon Valley, 33 Simpson Avenue, Ed Cafe. I will wait for you there, please bring something that can prove your identity, Pulitzer reporter."

Leave note (college entrance examination) plus some plot questions, chatting and explaining

The author is about to take the college entrance examination, and will have to sit in the examination room tomorrow.So I will take three days off here, I am very sorry, and I ask readers to forgive me.

This is force majeure.

I hope I can do well in the exam. After all, during this period of time, apart from codewords, I just review, so I feel very serious. The goal is 211, and the ideal is 985. Come on!

I saw a book review today that said something about Serena's character design, this is my fault.

I thought, after nearly [-] chapters of the serious and serious plot of the Northern Territory rebellion, I wanted to be relaxed and happy all the time, and I also wanted to choose a persecution (non-malicious) target. The plot outline that happened to be arranged included Serena. I just did some work temporarily, I want to relax everyone's mood, and welcome the new Columbia volume happily, but it seems that some readers don't feel very good, I'm sorry.Guaranteed to pay attention to this issue in the future.

The Columbia volume is a volume I carefully conceived. It unfolds from the two lines of light and dark. The guest "shareholder" of the science and technology fair will open the life of the Rhine in the bright line, and then the vest of the reporter Pulitzer will open the Loken water tank in the dark line. The two lines are summarized at the end. Ushered in a very heroic ending that I personally feel.

Some people may be dissatisfied or uncomfortable with the original characters, but as I said in the testimonial, the original characters are the soul of a book, and the land of Terra is not only the operators of Rhode Island-no And Froststar, Patriot, and many satellites that didn't land?For each original character, I will try my best to write her wonderful life and ending.Therefore, readers who are puzzled by the new original character - Fiona, please read it patiently, this character will not let you down.She will be the firewood to end the tragedy of the Loken water tank, and will also be the key to Hemer's growth.

Rosemary's handling of the problem is answered here in a unified manner, which is a good ending, even much better than expected.

Finally, I once again sincerely thank all the readers for their support. My younger brother is going to take the college entrance examination first. See you in three days!

ps: In addition, there seems to be a surprise when I come back from the college entrance examination. The artist's wife informed me that the draft is almost finished.

In addition to a Theresia wedding dress figure plus a Theresia wedding dress illustration, there is also an illustration of Vina and Reed (Aslan and Draco), and an emperor and shadow of Vina and Vynn Emperor figure.Stay tuned.

Chapter 1 Pulitzer must not be from Victoria

Columbia, Tech Capital - Silicon Valley, 7:00 pm.Rhine Life headquarters building.

The newly built Rheinland headquarters building fits their company logo. It is a Mobius ring-shaped silver building, which is divided into four main buildings in the south, east, north and west, connected by a glass corridor in the middle.The east building is an office building. The management of Rhine Life, such as the general manager, and the ministers of various departments work here. The top floor of the east building is the shareholder office of Rhine Life. It is a place for several resident directors to work and entertain foreign guests. The board of directors The meeting of shareholders and shareholders is also held here, which belongs to the place with the highest level of security in Rheinland Life.

The west building is the α laboratory building, which mainly conducts research on origin stones, ore diseases, ore patients and their affiliated subjects. It is also the main business of Rhine Life Biotechnology Group.As for the North Building, it belongs to other disciplines, including but not limited to "non-company main business" such as materials science, physics, and new energy.

As for the south building at the back, the south building is a dormitory for employees. Employees who need it can apply for it, and the company will rent the dormitory to employees at half the market price.

Perhaps interested people will have doubts when they see this place. It is obvious that Rhine Life is using the brand name of the company, but why does it even have an independent building dedicated to business negotiations and meeting guests? Instead, it looks like a research institution. Put a lot of resources into research and development?Don't they make money?

In fact, those who raised this question ignored the status of the city of science and technology—Silicon Valley on the land of Terra, not only Rhine Life, but most of the scientific research companies in Silicon Valley did the same thing. For these large scientific research companies , There has never been a situation where no one cares about a new product because of lack of marketing after it has been developed. On the contrary, the short supply of products is the problem that scientific research companies face most of the time.

As the leader of Terra's land science, although Colombia, an emerging country, is not strong enough in military strength, it is very familiar with how to make money. I don't know how many people are looking at this mobile city every day, and they don't know How many people are looking forward to the brand-new technology developed by these companies. With a little publicity and guidance in Colombia, large quantities of gold and silver will fall into this "treasure bowl" like a waterfall.

Therefore, there is no need for companies to promote themselves, and sensible Colombian officials will naturally endorse the capitalists behind these companies.

Moreover, there is also a large-scale publicity every four years-the Columbia Science and Technology Expo, sponsored by the Colombian federal government and undertaken by the "Annual Enterprise" bred in Silicon Valley, the city of science and technology, aims to show this miracle in four years, between dreams and capital. The latest products created by the city, signing large-scale contracts, attracting huge investments, and promoting the vigorous development of science and technology and productivity across Terra...

By the way, feed back the Colombian federal government and the monopoly oligarchy standing behind the government.

That's what Serena and the others are busy with right now.

In the office of the administration building in the east building, Sereya, who had only been off the aircraft for less than three hours, was already bound by the lady in charge to work hard.After asking for a large amount of overtime pay in accordance with the rules, Serena completely ignored the painful death stare of the head lady, and asked:

"Is there anything I need to do?"

Miss Chief Administration rubbed her eyes with dark circles, and replied: "Yes, and many, such as checking the security work of the entire exhibition."

Selea frowned. She clearly remembered that the work had been completed and passed the inspection before she left Colombia for Victoria last time.

Sensing Serena's puzzled eyes, the chief executive waved his hand, pointing to the ceiling routinely - this action has almost become a conditioned reflex in the past few days - of course she didn't mean to check the ceiling, It means "above".

Above, the real management of Rheinland, the "big shot" of the board of directors.

"Mr. Hunter Albert, the executive director of the expo, is a person who strives for excellence. He feels that it is necessary to check the expo site and the Rhine Life Building again. It is best to focus on the bugs, pinhole cameras, and spell imprints... this sort of thing."

The governor thought about it, but he still didn't tell Serena about the crystal ball, which he didn't know if the executive director had a brain pump.

The so-called excellence is actually a beautified version of nitpicking and looking for trouble. I understand this point. The governor originally wanted to complain directly, but thinking of Serena's straight-talking character, she was very afraid that that would happen. :

Mr. Executive Director inspected the scene, found the director of the defense department Sereya, and praised: "Good job."

Saria: "It's all the result of the director's faultfinding."

Executive Director: "Criticism? Who Said?",

Saria: "The governor told me."

Once this happens, there is no way for Miss Chief Administrator to escape her inevitable death except to make a loud noise to cover it up, and she may even lose this job that she cherishes very much.So Serena's emotional intelligence is not high, she needs to be higher, excellence means excellence, if you are misunderstood as a villain who flatters the directors, then you will admit it, it is all for life, for everyone, and for Serena.

However, being able to come up with a suitable synonym so quickly, the governor even raised his chest proudly and put his hands on his hips for a while.

It's a pity that Serena didn't pay attention to the careful and appropriate choice of words and sentences of Miss Chief Administrator. She focused on another thing:

"Camera? Bug? Why is there such a thing?"

"Why do you think?"

The superintendent asked,

"Think about what I've been up to these days, Saria?"

"Uh... busy with the shareholders?"

Serena was stunned for a moment. Speaking of shareholders, she couldn't help recalling that polite young Victorian boy in her mind. He looked so young, and he was already a shareholder of a large company like Rhein-Life. He is still the largest among the shareholders, young and promising, young and promising.

It would be great if the other shareholders were as easy-going as he was, but unfortunately Sereya knew that this was impossible. For example, the executive director, Mr. Henry, belonged to that kind of narrow-minded type.

"Fart...cough cough, I mean, wrong! It's a reporter, that reporter!"

The lady in charge rolled her eyes and replied:

"If it's a shareholder, why should we worry so much? The shareholder is our own family. What's more, the shareholder who hasn't arrived in Colombia is the one you went to receive. That's our No. [-] boss, one of our own. Guard."

No one will have trouble with their company and money.The governor thought to himself.

"The point is the reporters. The upper management held a special meeting to analyze why the Pulitzer reporters were able to catch so many handles on the Duke of Victoria and Rutland's religion, so that they turned them around. After analysis and analysis, the biggest doubt is still It comes from the way he obtained information—the scandalous information should be classified as top secret no matter which country it is placed in. It is impossible for their high-level government officials to disclose the information by themselves? If the legal method is not good, it can only show that the source of the information is illegal. And these How did you get the illegal information?"

"Through eavesdropping, stealing, or even magical means?" Seliya added in a little astonishment, this is indeed a way of thinking.

It is impossible for high-level government officials to sell their own scandals, which is as ridiculous as the emperor rebelling against himself.After all, scandals are uncontrollable. If a reporter who is not one of you reports them, who knows how it will affect your image?

And if it is said that the Pulitzer reporter is an insider of that country, it is indeed not very credible. After all, he became famous by helping Victoria expose Rutland's old background. If you want to ask who profited from the religious reform movement The biggest, there is no doubt that it is Victoria, which has achieved religious independence and greatly weakened the influence of Lateran. If the Pulitzer reporter is an intelligence officer of that country, it must be Victoria—unless the country’s brain is pumped and let My own family went to help others, so that Victoria, who was basically sitting on the hegemony, could sit a little more stably.

But that doesn't make sense. If Pulitzer was from Victoria, what did he do afterward?Backhandedly reported the corruption case of the Duke of Victoria, and exposed Victoria's old background. If he is from Victoria, the government must not send someone to him to suppress the rebellion overnight?

The people of Terra obviously don't know that there is a thing called public opinion control, and another thing called public opinion guidance, and there is a twisted product called "water army" when the two are combined.

But Wayne obviously understood this trick. On the surface, exposing the Duke's corruption case does more harm than good, but with a little manipulation, this "Victoria Duke Corruption Case" will become a "Victoria Royal Anti-Corruption Case". "Success", a heinous crime of damaging reputation and reputation has become a typical case of enhancing the authority of the royal family, demonstrating the Victorian rule of law, and everyone is equal before the law.

The means are clever, the actions are secretive, and Pulitzer's identity has been cleaned up by the way. Now it seems that the effect is very good.

Rhine Life and even the upper echelons of Columbia believe that Pulitzer cannot be from Victoria, so his motives are hard to guess. Everyone must be vigilant against him to prevent him from obtaining some things that Rhine Life and Columbia do not want to expose to the world through some unofficial and illegal means.

"All in all, don't ask if there are too many. Finish your work, Serena, and overtime pay will be paid as usual. Go to the financial department to get it yourself."

The commander-in-chief patted the solid shoulder of the woman Vayifan earnestly, walked over her and walked out of the hall.

Serena nodded herself.

In fact, she still has a question in her mind.

Why is Rhine's life so tense?

What is the company hiding?

She wants to ask the governor this question, what she thinks the governor should know.But for some reason, her poor woman's sixth sense played a role at this time, and she always felt that it was better not to understand these things.

"Let's work."

Chapter 2 Where the sun doesn't shine

On July 7 in the Terran calendar, it was sunny and the sky above no man's land.

Riding an aircraft is not a comfortable thing. The aircraft on Terra is far less comfortable than the planes of Wayne's previous life. There are no free snacks to eat, and there are no beautiful flight attendants. Wayne can only stare at the old Lynn. The profile of the lynx was lost in thought.

In fact, he really wanted to ask Old Lynx about the nine-year compulsory education. After all, she talked so nonchalantly that night that Wayne always felt that she slipped through the net of the nine-year compulsory education.

And she also said that she also said these things to Teresia, and Teresia was surprised?

Why is she surprised?

Wayne couldn't figure it out at first, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be only one possibility.

People in this world seem to think that Terra is a "round sky"?Even people like Theresa are no exception.

This can be fun, a world that has developed into the industrial age and half-stepped into the information age, has advanced technology in some fields compared to the earth, can be called the source of endless energy, strong productivity, but is affected by Trapped in the backward feudal system and even the slave system, the aristocratic emperor is in power, and even the development of capitalism is very difficult, let alone GCZY.This kind of world is already weird enough, but now some people suggest to Wayne that people in this world don't even know the truth that "the earth is round", and even abide by the tradition of a round sky and a square place. Do you question this?

It's so weird, it's just like "the natives shared nuclear fusion technology with you", full of the sense of division of civilization.

Didn't any of them try to circumnavigate the world?With Terra's level of technology and Origin Stone, which is easy to store and has a high energy storage capacity, this kind of experiment should be said to be easy, right?The world of Terra is not without sea, right?

Wayne didn't forget the giant beasts in the sea mentioned in the deep sea hunter Skadi's file. He just wondered, no matter what country's literature, demons are rare after all, otherwise civilization would have perished long ago.And these rare demons, can really stop the people of Terra from discovering this simple law of nature for so long?

Or is it not demons in the sea, but something else?
