After finishing the complaint letter, Hesta began to reply to another email - and that night, she finally received a reply from Rico and Turan.
The two of them followed the medical team to a primitive rainforest this week and just returned to a place with internet today, so they were delayed in replying to the letter.
Both men were deeply concerned about Hesta's plight. Turan expressed almost angrily that she could not understand the arrangement of Hestad's school - especially, how could the AHgAs in District 14 be so irresponsible and place Hestad in a boarding family that could trigger trauma at any time?
Even if it is inconvenient to live in a dormitory with ordinary classmates, isn't it possible to have a single room on campus? She wasn't sure how the matter came to this, but encouraged Hestad to apply as soon as possible to try to leave.
In comparison, Li Ge was much calmer on this issue. She gave the same statement as Yu Xuekun: Don't think too much, it doesn't matter how bad the homestay is, as long as you just treat it as a place to sleep and eat. good. Go out more often and stay away from home. Three months will pass in a blink of an eye.
As for how to deal with the complex and mysterious interpersonal relationships here, the two people's attitudes are surprisingly consistent: Hesta will not stay in District 14 for long anyway, so why bother asking for trouble in a new environment? . For now, it is important to endure the loneliness and pass the observation period honestly. You must know that the awareness of prevention against decommissioned mercury needles is very strong in livable places, so there is really no need to spend too much effort here.
Hesta read the letter several times. Although the email could not show the handwriting of Rico and Turan, when she read it, she seemed to be able to hear their voices in every sentence.
When replying to the letter, Hestad did not mention anything about Yugali or Ding Yuqing. He only talked about yesterday's trip to Songxueyuan and his new hobby that has taken up the most of his time recently - chess. Zhou's school club is recruiting new students, and she has already agreed with several classmates from the chess club that she will sign up at their booth.
At the end of writing, a gust of wind blew in from the window and blew the cellophane that had been removed from the hair removal device box to the ground. Hesta leaned over and picked up the cellophane and threw it into the trash can.
After sitting in front of the computer again, Hesta suddenly smiled, and then typed the next sentence on the screen:
"By the way, I also had a magical experience today: for the first time in so many years, I realized that I have armpit hair."
Shortly after the email was sent, Hestad's phone suddenly vibrated again.
She picked it up and took a look, and found that it was Li Ge asking in the group: "What does it mean to have armpit hair? Have you never grown it before?"
This group was started by Turan, but they rarely use it at ordinary times - this kind of instant messaging can hardly carry in-depth discussions, especially for people like them who are completely disconnected from time to time. If there is time for short message chat, how many people can Rather sit down and write a postcard or a long letter.
"It's long," Hesta replied, "but I haven't thought about it, I just feel like it never existed."
Rico was obviously still very confused: "...So it's because he has grown so much recently that his diaphragm has reached his armpits?"
"No, the girl at home gave me a hair removal device, and I paid attention to the hair on my body when I took a shower at night."
The top of the group showed that Li Ge was typing, but soon stopped. After repeated many times, her message was finally sent.
"If you don't like it, just shave it off."
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I suddenly realized it...is there today."
Rico sent three confused expressions, "What does it mean to be there? Has it affected your daily life?"
"It has no impact... I just never noticed it before, but starting from today, I noticed it."
Rico: "@TULAN@TULAN@TULAN please translate."
Just as Hesta was thinking hard about how to express it, Turan also appeared in the dialog box.
Turan: "@利格For example, have you ever noticed whether you usually walk with your left foot first or your right foot first?"
Rico: "...Why should I pay attention to this?"
Turan: "Suppose there is an announcement from Office No. 2, saying that based on observation, those mercury needles that move their right foot first are the mercury needles that are truly suitable for combat. You should pay attention."
Rico: "Then I think Office 2 is crazy."
Turan: "Okay, this shows that you are one of those who don't agree with this conclusion - but from today on, it doesn't matter whether you walk with your left foot or your right foot first."
Jane: "@turan, that's right, that's almost the feeling."
Rico: "..."
Rico: "Are the people in District 14 so idle?"
Jane: "I don't know. I feel like I know nothing about District 14."
Turan: "It's the same everywhere. When we went to the drugstore last week, do you still remember that there was a hair removal device next to the melatonin gummies... Do you want to try it? If so, I'll find a friend here I’ll take you to a beauty salon on weekends, there are several right next to our apartment.”
Rico: "..."
Rico: "@Jian, have you taken off your clothes?"
Jane: "Not yet. She said it won't work if you do it once or twice, but it will be effective if you persist for a long time."
Rico: "How long will you hold on?"
Jane: "It depends on the amount of light you set. I read the instructions for the hair removal device. Generally, once a week or twice a week for the first three months, and then once a month. If there are no adverse reactions in the middle, just keep this rhythm. "
Turan: "...You really started studying it!"
Hesta stepped on the table with both feet, causing the entire chair to tilt backward slightly. She smiled while making a few simple smiles.
In some kind of shaky balance, Hestad reviewed the chat records of several people, especially the previous example Turan did with Office No. 2.
However, even if Office No. 2 makes such an announcement one day in the future, she probably won't be surprised.
The more counterintuitive an announcement is, the more likely it is that members of the team with high obedience will be screened out. If a mercury needle is willing to guide her daily behavior based on such an announcement, it means that she can ignore the logic behind the rule and choose to obey it just because it comes from Office No. 2.
All of these…unnatural rules can serve as a test of compliance for the listener.
If we really encounter such a thought experiment, I am afraid that Rico will be flagged when he comes up, but there is no need for such a thought experiment to flag Rico: one day in the future, if Office No. 2 really has such a need, they You should immediately remember why Rico was expelled from the Third District in the first place.
Suddenly, Hesta's mind flashed - somehow, she suddenly remembered the navigation advice for the dangerous passengers on the Shengming, and the four rules that almost caused harm.
It seems that there are similarities and differences.
