Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

"Do you believe people have previous lives?"

"Things like past lives... seem a bit illusory to talk about. I think people just need to live in the present."

The patient who asked the question laughed eerily, "I know, you don't believe it."

Bai Yao muttered in her heart that she really didn't believe it. If it wasn't for the fact that the other person was a patient, she would have wanted to ask if there was anything wrong with asking such a question.

Today is a good day. The so-called good weather only means that there is no black dust falling from the sky. In fact, the sky is still foggy and the air is not good. This is just because humans in the new era have long adapted to such an environment. I don’t think it’s anything anymore.

In 2089, mankind has entered a new era of science and technology. People's daily lives have been affected by rapidly changing science and technology, and widespread computerized information has enveloped all parts of the world.

It is only four o'clock in the afternoon, but because the polluted sky does not allow much light to shine through all year round, every time this time comes, various lights will light up everywhere in the city, with great visual impact.

Even the hospital, which is supposed to be the cleanest hospital, is no exception. The high-rise buildings and billboards are all lit up with bright lights. The bright neon lights match the gray and gloomy sky, which actually seems to match well.

Bai Yao is in her third year of college. Because the recent weather forecast showed that there will be a strong black rain in the near future, the school has closed early. The reason why she is sitting in the hospital is because she is waiting for her father to get off work.

In this era, human beings are divided into upper class people and lower class people because of their genetic advantages and disadvantages. The lower class people live in chaotic slums and do the hardest and most tiring work, while the upper class people believe that they can create more wealth for the world. Reasons to live in the main city and enjoy the best resources.

Under the appearance of peace, there is the unavoidable widening gap between the rich and the poor, as well as the true situation of human society that is increasingly depressed behind the illusion of prosperity.

Bai Yao's father is a doctor and her mother is a pilot, and the test at her birth showed that her genes are excellent, so she is qualified to study in a prestigious school. There is no doubt that their family is the epitome of the upper class. .

As a beneficiary of this social system, Bai Yao occasionally wants to criticize the system in this distorted environment, which would also appear to be a pretentious moaning.

If she really said something that was considered deviant by people in the upper class, she would probably soon be judged as having a genetic problem and be thrown into the lower class area.

Sometimes, Bai Yao feels that she is quite hypocritical in protecting herself.

Not long ago, Bai Yao was sitting on a bench playing with her mobile phone, waiting for her father to get off work. A man wearing a hospital gown suddenly sat next to her.

The middle-aged man has a slovenly appearance and a pair of dark circles under his eyes. The large hospital clothes make him look very thin, but his eyes are inexplicably bright. Perhaps a more suitable word can be used to describe it, that is, when he stares at Bai Yao, He looked a little nervous when he was excited.

As soon as the man sat down, he asked her a question, "Do you believe that people have previous lives?"

Bai Yao's first reaction was that this middle-aged man was going to have a clumsy conversation. Maybe his next sentence would be "I feel like I was destined to be with you in my previous life."

This is not Bai Yao Pu Xin. In fact, she is beautiful. Even in the upper class area, she is one of the best. Men have used such words to talk to her before.

But unexpectedly, the man did not say anything interesting to you as she expected. Instead, he mysteriously took out a USB flash drive from his pocket. He lowered his voice and said, "You Do you know how much energy is hidden in this?"

Bai Yao answered perfunctorily, "How old are you?"

"It can maximize the function of the purification tower and purify the pollution in the entire lower area."

Bai Yao was surprised and felt incredible.

The so-called new era is actually said by many to be an era of pollution. Gray fog covers the sky, the rain that falls is acidic black liquid, and even the snowflakes have lost their pure white color.

Only the AI ​​drawings in textbooks and the video data left behind decades ago tell contemporary children that in fact, a long time ago, snow was not black, but pure white.

The reason why human beings are divided into upper and lower zones based on genetic merit is also because of the scarcity and imbalance of resources.

In the center of every city, there is a tall building, which looks like an iron tower. It is the purification tower. It releases information at any time, mobilizing the preset information in every corner of the upper area. Small purifiers work together all the time to purify the air.

This is a great invention that scientists from all over the world have jointly experimented with for more than ten years. However, the operation of each purifier requires a lot of energy, so the world has to give up some people.

In the lower areas where purifiers are not widely available, people living there breathe turbid air and do the hardest physical work. Their average life span is much lower than that of people in the upper areas.

So it's not that Bai Yao can't understand that in the past ten years, the protests in the lower-class areas have become more and more intense. Naturally, over the years, they have more or less obtained some rights for themselves. For example, they can go to the hospitals in the upper-class areas to see doctors, but In fact, these so-called rights and interests are nothing but useful.

They simply cannot afford the treatment costs in hospitals in upper-class areas, and living in that kind of environment all year round, even if they can seek medical treatment, it is difficult for their broken bodies to be cured.

But sometimes people can only comfort themselves that at least they finally have a beginning.

The middle-aged man handed the USB flash drive in his hand to Bai Yao. His eyes were eager, as if he regarded Bai Yao as a god who would save the world. "As long as you plug this into the terminal of the purifier, the power of the purifier will exceed the set limit." Good boundaries can be raised to the maximum, and people in the lower areas can be purified."

Bai Yao frowned, "You said the purifier has set limits?"

In other words, people in the lower areas should also be able to enjoy purification?

The middle-aged man laughed "haha", "Don't you know? There are many people here who want to monopolize the resources of the upper class. If they are not deprived, how can their resources be piled up?"

Bai Yao said: "The world's media are reporting that it is impossible to break through the efficacy of the purifier."

The middle-aged man grinned, "Sometimes what you see is always a little different from the reality."
