"You always dress very rustic on weekdays. [Read full text]" Pan Pan sucked the small wooden spoon of the coffee cup, "You have a ponytail and black glasses. I almost didn't recognize you when you changed your clothes that day. .”
Cheng Yongxin dressed up deliberately today because she was waiting for these words.
She looked like she thought about it seriously, and then replied with a half-smile:
"Ever since Salina was almost raped but no one was punished for it, I thought it would be safer to make myself ugly." Pan Pan almost choked.
The attempted rape of female agent Salina was not a secret among the powerful senior figures, especially the Tintin couple who were already heads of the propaganda department at the time.
At that time, because the senior qualifications of Salina and her team were not recognized, and because of the protection of "one's own people", in the end, on the grounds of maintaining stability, they hastily moved the few people who committed the crime far away, and at the same time put Salina aside. Under the direct protection of powerful departments.
But apparently for women, the shadow of agency is much greater. Although Pan Pan acquiesced to this reality at the time, she always felt unwilling to do so every time she thought about it. This emotion was stirred up again by her words today.
"That's right! If we throw away all the morality of the old world as soon as we arrive in the new world, what difference will we make from the beasts? Moreover, once an exception is made for something that should be the bottom line, will it be the same in the future? Do you want to follow the rules? The Senate might as well declare the rape innocent!"
Pan Pan's mood suddenly became excited. An almost invisible smile appeared on Cheng Yongxin's lips: Foreign girls are really simple-minded, and they can stir up their emotions with just a few words. In her opinion, the Salina incident was wonderful - Salina was not only a young woman. Still a white man from the United States. There are natural attributes in common with Pan Pan.
The words "empathy" are not said in vain.
She judged: In this Senate group that blatantly lists the purchase of white female slaves as a government project and nakedly promotes "living space", the implicit dual discrimination of gender and race is a constant concern for modern white women. The pressure exists. Pan Pan will never fail to experience it. I only need appropriate guidance. It can stimulate her "self-defense" emotions and take advantage of them.
"Oh, that's..." Cheng Yongxin deliberately made a helpless expression, "Salina was an agent who came to investigate the Senate at the time. She was hostile to the Senate and suffered this loss, so she had to be considered unlucky. But I was thinking, In the past, it was because the interests of 'non-companions' could be sacrificed in the interest of 'maintaining stability', but what about in the future?"
Pan Pan nodded silently: for a moment. She understood the second half of what Cheng Yongxin didn't say.
The next time, again, the interests of the minority conflict with the interests of the majority, or those in power. Who will be sacrificed next?
The reason why Salina's incident can be easily smoothed out means that this group has shown signs of a danger - their moral bottom line has become lower.
In this rotten world, whoever has a little bit of humanity can gain the title of "righteousness".
Since D-day. Ding Ding figured out a point after his manuscripts kept being returned: the executive committee hoped that Lingao Daily would ruthlessly expose the scars of the Ming Dynasty. Black remains black, gray remains black, and white remains black. But for the Senate, even if there are mistakes in the review, it should be like the emperor issuing an edict to blame himself, and everything must be carried out under the premise that "the rule of the Senate is a kind of salvation."
To put it simply, it is the Chinese version of “divine right of kings.” The Senate wanted to give its rule a "divine salvation" color. Ding Ding understood very well, and Pan Pan was naturally not confused. The best evidence. Even Pan Pan talks less and less, and gradually no longer asks where to go for news.
Each article contains an exclusive interview with a naturalized citizen. Those stammering and even weird Mandarin accents described a hell that Pan Pan could not even imagine.
Yes, it is a real hell on earth. Things that would be regarded as heinous crimes in modern time and space are happening here openly and without any punishment. The superior oppresses the inferior, and the strong bullies the weak. This is all naked and natural.
Unspeakable suffering, just hearing about horrifying atrocities, horrific crimes committed by ordinary people without hesitation in order to survive...
For Pan Pan, she had no money, but her salary had not yet been paid and she had to stuff her stomach randomly at the terrible pizza shop on the corner. The biggest hardship she had ever experienced was during the period when she landed on D-Day. The lack of food and military training in preparation for war.
Ironically, the Senate used her expertise to destroy her principles in order to bring many people living in hell back to earth.
Yes, the human world. This was Pan Pan's final compromise with herself: Lingao was certainly not a paradise under the rule of the Senate, but at least it was a place where she could stay alone, so she chose to serve the Senate silently.
However, this kind of compromise often makes Pan Pan's conscience uneasy in his heart. The news of being shot a few days ago and Cheng Yongxin's words today only widened the shadow in her heart.
"You know," Pan Pan finally spoke, "I have always felt that some of the actions of the Senate are inappropriate. However, no matter what the motives of the Senate are, objectively speaking, they are leading the world to a good side... …”
"'For survival' and 'for the majority', such excuses will give people a sense of guilt, thinking that all the evil they have done is a 'have to', and the end point is that even the Germans will be ashamed." The Iron Cross Group and poison gas camps were mentioned.”
Cheng Yongxin clicked again. She is well aware of the importance of the Nazis in political correctness in Europe and the United States, and hints that the Senate is slipping into the abyss of political incorrectness. This has a strong psychological implication for people like Pan Pan who are engaged in journalism: something must be done immediately. What.
"You're right." Pan Pan was indeed struck by her words, which deeply worried her heart. In fact, there was no need for Cheng Yongxin to remind her. In the past few years, she had not known what kind of political power the Senate was and what roles her boyfriend and herself played in the political power.
Seeing Pan Pan's expression, Cheng Yongxin knew that her words had had an effect. She decided to call it a day and call it a day, letting her think about it carefully.
She started to change the chat to a lighter topic, but Pan Pan kept looking distracted. Cheng Yongxin felt secretly proud that today's "battle" was more than half successful.
Pan Pan suddenly spoke as if he had made up his mind, "Do you know why I have to quarrel with Ding Ding?"
"I don't know, this is your private matter."
"No, it's business." Pan Pan's expression was a little distorted, "I'm really chilled. I didn't expect him to be like this." She hesitated, "You can keep secrets, right?"
Cheng Yongxin couldn't restrain her inner excitement. "Sharing secrets" is a sign of the upgrade of friendship between women.
"Of course." She nodded solemnly.
"This is what happened -"
The cause of the incident was a "falling accident" that happened in Bairen City three days ago. The deceased was a maid "to be assigned" at a maid school named Lin Xiaoya. At five o'clock in the morning, the cleaner found her dead under a building in the senior dormitory area. The police immediately entered the scene and conducted an investigation, and initially determined that he died after falling from the building. The body was then transported to the forensic center for examination.
Accidents are not uncommon in any society. Falling from a building may be a suicide or a slip. But the question arises. As a maid "to be assigned", it is impossible for her to enter the elders' dormitory area by herself - without a pass. The Lingao Security Battalion does a very meticulous job of protecting the veteran dormitory area, and will never allow a naturalized citizen without a pass to enter the dormitory area.
"There is something fishy about this matter," Cheng Yongxin said.
"Yes, I think so too. I went to the scene to do interviews, came back and wrote a story, and then I was shot by Tintin."
"Why?" Cheng Yongxin said pretending to be surprised.
"He said that this matter cannot be reported in the newspaper - it will easily cause adverse consequences in terms of public opinion." Pan Pan became excited again, "I just reported it truthfully and did not make any speculation at all. Why must it be taken down? I told him For a long time, he firmly disagreed. Is it true that the Senate has a guilty conscience?!"
"How is the case handled now?"
"I have been transferred to the Criminal Division of the Police Headquarters. I told Ding Ding: I have sent an interview application to the Police Headquarters, requesting a full interview, and the final official investigation results must be reported to the newspaper. Otherwise, I really have to quit. !”
Cheng Yongxin shook his head: "I have already foreseen what the outcome will be - it will never have anything to do with the elders."
Pan Pan fell into silence.
"Don't you know that the basic purpose of the Senate when it comes to matters involving senators is to make peace?" Cheng Yongxin said sharply, "Even if it is proven that the case involves the senators, it will be left alone - Salin If the Na case is like this, who would care about the life of a slave girl? Not to mention that there is a great "Common Program" to protect the senators from any punishment."
"We can't go on like this." Pan Pan said involuntarily.
"Yes, we can't go on like this." Cheng Yongxin said meaningfully, "First they hunted for the rebels, but I didn't say anything - because I was not a rebel; then they hunted for the Jews, and I didn't say anything - because I am not a Jew; later they came after the trade unionists, but I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist; then they came after the Catholics, but I did not speak out - because I was a Protestant; in the end they came for me, but never again No one stands up to speak for me."
