Looking through the peephole on the door, I saw a man wearing a hooded jumpsuit, looking down at his phone. Ye Ning didn't see who it was. However, after experiencing two incidents last night and today, and seeing that the other party was unwilling to show his face, he concluded that he had bad intentions.
The other party is looking at their phone. This is an opportunity to strike first! Ye Ning quickly pressed the door handle, pushed the door open with his left hand, raised his fist with his right hand, wrapped it in flames, and struck the intruder with a horizontal punch. The opponent also noticed the attack and jumped back to dodge.
Seeing that the other party could easily avoid it, Ye Ning felt even more that the attacker was evil. He was about to continue the attack, but after hearing the familiar voice, he put down his attack.
"Holy shit, Ye Ning, are you treating your old friend who has traveled thousands of miles to visit you like this?" Yan Hanjun said with a shocked tone.
When Ye Ning saw it was Yan Hanjun, he immediately realized his rudeness, and immediately invited Yan Hanjun into the room, explaining: "A lot has happened recently, and it is always a good thing to be cautious." Then Ye Ning poured a glass of water and handed it to Yan Hanjun said: "Sit down, drink some water, and take a rest."
"You didn't pour me water before. Why have you become so polite? Do you realize your mistake?" Yan Hanjun said jokingly, then looked at the dining table and asked again: "It's so late. , haven’t you eaten yet?”
"It's so late, why don't you still want to visit us!" Ye Ning immediately replied, facing his old friend, he didn't have the slightest sense of social fear.
"Tch, it's not because of you. I came to see you last summer and you were not at home. I waited for three days and you were not at home. The same happened last night. I thought you were sick!" Yan Hanjun still looked at it with a smile on his face. He said, but there was a questioning tone in his tone.
Here is also an introduction to the relationship between Yan Hanjun and Ye Ning. The two families have been neighbors since childhood, and their family situations are very similar. Both mothers had difficult births and the younger one was saved.
However, Yan Hanjun's experience is more of a trick of fate. His father, an ordinary office worker, was killed by a gem falling from a height downstairs. The police checked the surveillance and could not find who threw the object from high altitude.
In the end, the gem was awarded to Yan Hanjun. This fish-scale red gem also emits some light at night. It is worth a lot at first glance. This gem also brought a lot of trouble to Yan Hanjun. Here is also Let’s not express it for now.
Yan Hanjun was adopted by Ye Ning's father Ye Qin. Ye Qin was usually busy. Fortunately, the two children had been weaned at that time and there was not much trouble. When they were both six years old, Yeqin also died for a reason that the military was unwilling to disclose.
The two children were also adopted one after another. Ye Ning was adopted by teacher Li Yin who had no wife and children. Yan Hanjun was adopted by Dr. Luo Bin of the scientific research team because of his academic talent as a child. After that, Yan Hanjun did show his talent. He has an amazing talent in scientific research, but that is a story for another day and will not be mentioned here for the time being.
After Yan Hanjun went to Tiancheng, he would take a few days off every summer to come back and visit Ye Ning, who grew up with him. The two still maintain a relationship, but due to the confidentiality of scientific research work, Yan Hanjun is not allowed to communicate with unrelated people on electronic devices. So it has always been this oldest way of communication with Ye Ning.
Speaking of last year, Ye Ning spent a summer vacation at Ma Jiao's house, and yesterday, Ye Ning stayed at Xu Yirou's house but was not at home, so Yan Hanjun failed both times. If he had agreed to Ma Jiao during the day, Yan Hanjun might have failed again today.
Ye Ning felt embarrassed when he thought of this, and said casually: "I have something to do, I just happen to not be at home." In order to cover up his embarrassment, he sat on the dining table and said: "You don't mind if I chat while eating, I'm a little hungry. ”
"It's okay, you eat first, and we'll talk after you're done." Yan Hanjun said.
Ye Ning finished eating quickly, put the bowl away in the kitchen, sat on the sofa next to Yan Hanjun, and asked: "I feel like you came to me for something important, otherwise you wouldn't have stopped me from coming on vacation. .”
Yan Hanjun looked at the time on his phone and said: "It's not too important, but I have to go back to Tiancheng at twelve o'clock tonight. It's very busy there, so I won't chat with you. You were supposed to attend last year I planned to tell you about this before the military training. Although it is a bit late to tell you now, it should not be a big problem. Ye Ning, let me ask you, what do you think is the way out for us humans at this stage? "
Ye Ning was frightened by this serious question. Every time Yan Hanjun came here, he would share some happy things in the year with him. This time, he was so serious that he was shocked. Ye Ning thought about the education Teacher Li Yin had given him since he was a child, as well as what he had seen and heard.
Ye Ning said matter-of-factly: "Do you still need to ask? Only by eradicating these monsters can we humans live in peace and stability."
Yan Hanjun shook his head and sighed: "You have become institutionalized. I remember that you like to think randomly. Why don't you think about these things randomly?"
Ye Ning was very confused and asked: "What do you mean? Can you tell me more straightforwardly?"
"Let me ask you, what is your goal?" Yan Hanjun did not answer Ye Ning's question, but instead asked a more profound question.
"My goal? I haven't really thought about it. I feel like I just need to take it one step at a time and follow the orders from my superiors. If I have to say it, it is to execute every task well and eliminate more enemies. Monster." Ye Ning said solemnly.
"Who told you that you must destroy the monsters for the sake of peace? Who told you that your superiors' orders must be right?" Yan Hanjun asked, staring at Ye Ning.
Ye Ning did not answer and fell into deep thought. Yan Hanjun continued: "Each of us grew up in an invisible war, a war of thoughts. Each of us has our own opinions and what we think. Right or wrong, everyone values something different. Different ideas lead everyone in different directions.”
"Ever since the emergence of supernatural powers a hundred years ago, mankind has been in chaos. Today's top human beings are no longer elected based on voting. You don't know whether their ideas are correct, and you don't know whether they are just people. A puppet supported by superpowers."
"These are just my guesses. He really has a keen eye when he joins, but there is no warning for monsters making trouble. Everything is just a step-by-step test. The decisions they make are not necessarily the most correct ones." decision.”
"Whether it's the senior management or the so-called news, everything they say will not be fully stated or fully informed to you. They will only let you know what they want you to know and let you move towards them. associate in the direction they want, and then work hard to develop in the direction they want.”
Ye Ning interrupted Yan Hanjun: "You are not telling me right or wrong, you are just making me doubt what I believe. Then, if this is the case, I should also doubt what you want me to know. , what you want me to know is just your intentional behavior, isn’t it?”
"Yes, both I and them just want you to think that your behavior is the correct result after your own thinking, but your thinking process is being deliberately guided by someone with intention. You don't have to believe me , you can't believe them either, I just want you to have your own thinking and not be influenced by anyone else's thinking," Yan Hanjun said meaningfully.
Ye Ning continued to retort: "Then this is a paradox. If I don't trust my superiors according to what you said, then I will trust you. Then my thinking and my actions are all guided by you. I I don’t agree with your point of view. Human beings can survive to this day because of the instructions from the top. Why should we doubt the people who saved us?”
Yan Hanjun stood up, shook his body, and continued: "The education you have received since childhood is to obey the instructions of your superiors. You will never doubt whether they are doing the right thing or not. This is how people are. It is difficult to go through long-term fixed thinking. There has been a change, and you have subconsciously chosen to reject things that are not in line with your own cognition.”
Yan Hanjun turned around and looked at Ye Ning condescendingly and said: "Generally speaking, the more ignorant a person is, the more they think they know everything. If you are under that age and have no experience, forcing communication is just playing the piano to others. If you have a broad enough vision, You will find that what they did was the only way they had to do to save humanity at that time, but now, times have changed, and that doesn’t work anymore!”
Ye Ning said half-jokingly: "We are the same age, why do you pretend to be an old man and talk to me like this."
Yan Hanjun continued to stare at Ye Ning and said: "The same age does not mean the same vision. The education you received was the education of the military, which was based on the theory that monsters must die. You have always been in school and in the army. , that’s all you have access to.”
"But I am different. We who engage in scientific research sometimes have to draw materials from the local area and take risks on our own. What I have experienced, seen, and understood is a different set of theories and a different set of theories. A theory that has been proven by people.”
"If we want to test weapons, we must conduct experiments on monsters. The dead and living monsters you bring back from your mission are our experimental subjects. When facing death, they are just like us, and some will be afraid. Begging for mercy, some will fight to the death, what do you think they would say if they could talk?”
Hearing this, Ye Ning understood what Yan Hanjun wanted to convey, but he was not sure whether his guess was correct, so he asked, "What do you mean?"
Yan Hanjun also understood that Ye Ning had accepted his point of view, sat back on the sofa again, and said slowly: "They have always had thinking and rationality, and now they also have strength, why should we fight to the death? Maybe? We humans and monsters can live in peace."
