Tiga returns to take a leisurely look at human affairs

TPC Far East Headquarters Base, in the office of Director Sawai.

Captain Hui Jian was wearing the uniform of the Victory Team, sitting across from the director's desk, silently waiting for the response from the person opposite.

Director Sawai was sitting on his swivel chair, flicking the screen on the table with his fingers from time to time, scanning the text and illustrations line by line.

What was displayed on the screen was all the information about super-ancient humans since the Qijela incident until Zhishu's consciousness was forcibly uploaded to the Internet.

After reading through all the contents bit by bit, Director Sawai was still frowning. It was obvious that he had encountered a very difficult problem that required more time to think about.

Megumi was also very patient. For nearly two hours, she waited quietly, watching the detailed changes in Director Sawai's facial expressions without showing any signs of boredom or anxiety.

Finally, when Director Sawai relaxed his brows slightly and looked away from the screen, he did not give Megumi an immediate answer. Instead, he sighed helplessly.

"I originally thought that ancient humans who have survived for 30 million years will be more intelligent than expected, but this does not seem to be the case."

Then he moved the screen back to a certain position, and Director Sawai read out the contents word by word, as if he was unskilled in reading a manuscript, and seemed to have a somewhat suppressed smile.

"Human beings are the primates of all things... All things should have the duty to serve human beings. Human thinking is... the measure of the universe. The cause of human development is the supreme and great cause in the universe."

After reading it, Director Sawai actually chuckled a few times.

"I really didn't expect that the level of thought of super-ancient humans... was still stuck in the Renaissance. The fear of giants and the rapid development of technology suppressed the original wisdom of humans."

Turning to raise his hand to turn off the screen, Director Sawai looked at Megumi.

"You asked me what I think of super-ancient humans, and I just remembered a sentence."

Director Sawai said softly with kind eyes.

"Man is the spirit of all things. However, when people act smart, everything may go to the opposite direction."

"Burrow Monsell, Famous Quotes from an Anthology of Contemporary Children's Education."

Megumi almost immediately answered the author and source of this passage. Director Sawai also leaned back in his chair and nodded slowly.

"From a scientific and technological perspective, super-ancient humans are much more advanced than us, but in terms of thought, I really cannot compliment their level. If humans want to survive and develop, they must destroy all those who are stronger than humans. All existence is destroyed.

It bases its own prosperity on the extinction of all things, and still regards itself as the so-called spirit of all things. In this way of development, human beings are more likely to perish from their own arrogance before they become truly powerful.

Without the awareness and ability to tolerate all things and co-exist with all things, what qualifications does human beings have to claim to be the spirit of all things? "

After saying that, Director Sawai cast his gaze on his desk.

There was a piece of A4 paper on the desktop, and what was printed on the paper was a resignation letter submitted by Hui Jian.

Director Sawai stretched out his hand, gently placed his fingers on the resignation letter, and then pushed it back towards Megumi.

"I know you are worried about your children and think that after leaving this position, you can get rid of the constraints of responsibilities, no longer have to worry about TPC's attitude, and can boldly do what you want to do.

But on the other hand, TPC can also be a cover for your actions. If we can cooperate with each other, then we may be able to rescue Zhishu faster. Captain Hui Jian, if it's convenient, could you let me talk to the leader of the Super Ancient Earth Guard Group, You Lian? "

"Then let me ask her..."

Hui Jian said and closed her eyes slightly. Soon, her long black hair quickly transformed from the roots to silver. When she opened her eyes again, her original black eyes also turned to silver.

She looked directly into Director Sawai's eyes, and there was no trace of friendliness in her calm eyes. Instead, there was a sense of alienation, as if Director Sawai would immediately raise questions no matter what he said next.

"Hello, respected leader of the Super Ancient Earth Guard Corps. First of all, please allow me to express our gratitude to you on behalf of the TPC and all humans on the earth today.

The time machine you left behind gave us a very timely warning and pointed out the location of the giant stone statue. Without your help, we would have been caught off guard when faced with the sudden appearance of a monster, and our losses would have been even greater. "

Director Sawai stood up and bowed deeply to the silver-haired woman in front of him. However, the woman shook her head, turned slightly sideways to avoid the salute, and then raised her hand to signal Director Sawai to sit down.

"Forget the high-sounding diplomatic rhetoric. I have long ceased to be the leader of the Earth Guard. The consciousness now living in Hui Jian's body is just my own. The future of mankind is only decided by you humans. .”

Director Sawai did not show any dissatisfaction with You Lian's indifference, but instead sighed with understanding.

“After our TPC’s continued investigation, it seems that your consciousness has been possessed by Captain Megumi since the South Pacific tsunami incident.

I'm sorry to say that it was indeed our TPC Australia branch and some colleagues in the police department who let you down regarding the tsunami and the dark area of ​​​​Kyoto. "

At this point, Director Sawai suddenly changed the subject.

"But if you are willing, I would like to ask you to go to the Qijela Flower Field we opened. It is a place where today's humans, warriors who inherit the power of light, your former teammates, and alien friends work together. Established through hard work.

In the future, Zijla pollen will become a medical anesthetic with minimal side effects, saving more patients from pain. The aromatic essential oil of Qijela will be extracted, and after modulation, it will become a pure natural cosmetic, which is popular all over the world.

I want to use these facts and results to prove to you that although we do not have as advanced technology as the super ancients, we humans today have the ability to make better choices when facing crises. "

Facing Director Sawai, who looked a little older, but still had bright eyes, showing determination and confidence, You Lian's lips slowly raised a smile, and the coldness and alienation in his eyes also weakened slightly.

Although Director Sawai's words were simple, the meaning conveyed in them was quite rich.

First of all, Director Sawai accurately judged the time when You Lian's consciousness awakened, and used this to prove to You Lian TPC's ability to comprehensively sort out and analyze intelligence, as well as its ability to review the overall development of events.

Subsequently, he took the initiative to apologize for the wrong decision-making behavior of some personnel within TPC. On the one hand, it shows a sincere attitude of correcting its mistakes. On the other hand, it also shows that TPC has roughly figured out which risks humans should not be involved in.

Finally, by solving Qijela, a problem that troubled the super-ancient people and had not been properly solved until the end, it showed You Lian that today's humans are indeed capable of making better choices than the super-ancient people.

It shows that human beings can use their own wisdom to solve problems that cannot be solved by relying solely on technology and power.

In short, what Director Sawai demonstrated first and foremost is that humans are capable of doing well.

What is then shown is that humans know what they do poorly and are willing to correct those mistakes.

The last thing shown is that today's human beings not only have potential and attitude, but they have truly successfully solved the crisis through their own limited power and practical actions.

"I know everything you said."

You Lian asked after nodding.

"So, what is the purpose of your conversation with me?"

Seeing You Lian's expression slow down, Director Sawai's smile deepened a bit along with the smile lines at the corners of his eyes.

"I just hope you can answer one of my questions. Before this, we always thought that those super-ancient ghosts in the network were actually our ancestors.

But now, I hope you can tell me where the humans on the earth today come from, and what is our relationship with the super ancient people. "

"You... are the descendants of all those who died heroically in the last dark war. I have collected the genetic factors of your ancestors.

Let all those who hide behind the battlefield and try to gain a chance of survival for themselves by oppressing others die. Let all those who are willing to sacrifice themselves let their genes continue. "

You Lian said, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him.

"To a certain extent, those Internet ghosts are indeed the ancestors of human beings. But they are a group that I eliminated, and they are not your direct ancestors.

In other words, you were originally part of my plan. You are human beings who have different concepts from Bitulas and those nobles, and have gone through another kind of screening. "
