Save the Sick Iceberg Project

All the cameras of the media were focused on Rong Xin who was seated in the fourth debate in an instant. Even under the high-definition camera capture, the youth's fair and handsome face was still as exquisite as white porcelain, and there was no fault at all. Lifting it lightly, there was a small gasp in surprise immediately from the audience below the stage.

That is a beautiful face that makes people palpitate.

However, in the fierce debate field, appearance is not king, only real eloquence and strong logic can be convincing.Almost 80.00% of all the people present had no hope for this overly handsome boy.Moreover, the decline of the "Anything Team" is already very obvious. Even if Rong Xin can survive the debate without stuttering, it is impossible to overwhelm the brilliant Feiyue team.

They lost.

Rong Xin took half a second to look around the audience, taking in all the regretful, sympathetic, and joke-seeking eyes.The corners of his mouth hooked up, no one believed him, just right, then he would show them what a real debate is.

"The other party's debater said just now that we have no conscience, no humanity, and no humanistic care when we give up a living life in the fire scene?"

Rong Xin pointed at Munch's "The Scream" on the big screen: "That's because you don't know what a "famous painting" is. After millions of people see a famous painting, they will be included in it." The brush strokes awaken the artistic treasures that resonate strongly in the heart. The reason why famous paintings become famous paintings is because they have reached the realm that ordinary people cannot reach, and they are the concentrated expression and expression of human emotional civilization to a certain extent. It is truly without humanistic care!"

Pei Yan's heart shook violently. During the debate, Rong Xin's high-cold aura seemed to be the same as usual, but it was completely different. There seemed to be a kind of arrogance from the inside out, and a calm temperament that could shake people's hearts. , is emanating from every corner of his body.

Rong Xin raised his head, under the spotlight, his dark eyes were deep and calm, and his magnetic voice resounded loudly:

"You think cats should be saved because the value of life is paramount. But I tell you no, life itself is just a carrier, and life itself has no value! Just imagine if a cat that survives in the wild dies accidentally, Do you feel pain? No. Because you have not poured any affection into that cat. The value of life is acquired, and the time, experience, attention and love you poured into it have achieved its value. And you Do you know how many people’s attention and love the famous painting has received so far? Do you know how many people have devoted their efforts to protect its existence. On one end of the balance is a world famous painting that condenses the emotions of thousands of people, and on the other end is a When you are only a cat, the other party argues, can you really not tell which is more important?" [Note]

The moment these words were finished, the audience in the audience was in an uproar.

Such a sharp rebuttal was beyond everyone's expectation, Zhengfang's seemingly flawless logic just now was shattered in Rong Xin's few words!Each of Rong Xin's arguments was like a knife that ruthlessly pierced into the logical pain points in their previous words, mercilessly tearing their complete logical system to pieces.

"This isn't a vase, it's a great god!" The audience, who had just decided that Rong Xin was no good, suddenly boiled in a low voice.

"Rong Xin is too courageous, he even directly denied the value of life! But I have to say that what he said is completely reasonable, value is originally given by people, cats and paintings that are also given value are of course more precious than paintings !"

"Soldier's dangerous move! My skin is getting goosebumps!"

"I haven't seen such a sharp and intense argument for a long time. Rong Xin's level may not be worse than that of Soros in the first debate!"

There was still 1 minute left for Rong Xin. Rong Xin looked at the four opponents whose faces froze in an instant. It seemed that he did not intend to give them a chance to breathe. The provocation and arrogance that were concealed, seemed to have everything under control: "I probably know why the opponent's friend saved the cat. As you said before, it was because of "compassion". But what is compassion? ?”

The opposing debaters only felt an ominous premonition, and sure enough, the next second, Rong Xin pointed the finger at their core argument: "It is you who stand on the commanding heights of morality and try to relieve your discomfort by saving the cat! To put it bluntly You don’t care about the life of the cat at all, you only care about whether your mood has been negatively affected by it. Otherwise, why can you drink dragon and tiger soup with pleasure when faced with appetite?”

The audience in the audience were dumbfounded, and the next second, cheers and applause rang out like thunder.

Pei Yan's blood boiled all over, and he stared at Rong Xin on the stage. His confident face was so dazzling, as if the light of the whole world was concentrated on him.Pei Yan has always known that Rong Xin has a poisonous tongue, but he didn't know that he could be so eloquent. Every word was like a sharp knife poking at the opponent's omissions, sharp and merciless.

If it was said that the team was at a disadvantage just now, then now that disadvantage has been forcefully brought back by Rong Xin's eloquent tongue.

"It's too strong!" The audience's blood boiled with enthusiasm.

"I don't know who will win this match!"

The time for the sequential debate was over, Rong Xin sat down, and the host continued with the introduction of the last session.

Rong Xin lowered his voice and smiled at the team members: "Everyone, come on."

Zhang Ailun's hands were shaking with excitement: "Brother Rong..."

They had already resigned to their fate just now, but seeing Rong Xin's efforts to turn the tide just now, everyone seemed to have been beaten again, and the fighting spirit was rekindled in everyone's eyes.

"We can win." Rong Xin whispered, "Trust me. The opponent's position has already begun to panic. We can win as long as we let them expose their shortcomings in the next free debate."

Then he turned his head and patted Shen Qinglin's hand lightly: "Play to the level you should have."

Shen Qinglin's body trembled slightly. He was already feeling ashamed and thrown home, but Rong Xin's wonderful debate just now made him regain his confidence. Rong Xin's trusting gaze seemed to tell him "You don't need anyone to send you down." .With a sore nose, Shen Qinglin nodded vigorously: "I will try my best!"

The host announced: "Next is the free debate session, each group has 5 minutes, and the timer starts!"

A total of 10 minutes of free debate, who speaks is completely random, alternating positive and negative, the fight is the ability to react on the spot, to see if you can refute the opponent who spoke last time, and at the same time make the next opponent speechless.

The first one to stand up was Fang Sande: "The other party kept saying that the value of art is higher than the value of life, life has no value, and art is priceless. Then I would like to ask what is the value of art? How can I be more specific?" explain?"

At this time, the team that said everything was no longer the team that was beaten by others.

Zhang Ailun pushed his chair and stood up, calmly playing the characteristics of his logic, meticulous language and humor: "The value of art lies in the impact it brings to people's hearts, and that it can express the unique emotional release of human beings in the most concise way. It is an indispensable record of human civilization. We have mentioned this many times before, and the other party may be too concerned about the life of the kitten that they cannot even hear our argument."

The audience suddenly burst into laughter.

The free debate is a chance for any team to come back. Zhang Ailun successfully fired the first shot, and the momentum of rushing forward is almost unstoppable.

When the other party was directly attacked, his face was a little uneasy, and the second debate quickly stood up to save the scene: "The other party's friend said that the life of a cat is worthless, but there is only one cat in this world, and the cat in the fire scene passed away. Even if it is gone, when a living life is lost in a fire, doesn't it arouse your inner sympathy, you would rather see a cat die in pain than a lifeless painting?"

I have to say that the second debate was very good. She cleverly brought the topic back to a direction where she could empathize with the audience, but when the soldiers came to cover up the water, Xia Luosheng flicked her long hair and immediately stood up: "If a cat dies Yes, the only one who suffers is its owner, because only its owner has invested experience and emotions in it. But if a famous painting is burned, what you destroy is not just a painting, but countless Emotionally condensed masterpieces certified by everyone. No one can bear the responsibility of burning famous paintings, because famous paintings do not belong to only one person, they are the common wealth of all mankind.” [Note]

There was applause from below!

The other party immediately said: "Then why is Munch the chosen one? Why is his spirit eternal?"

"We don't discuss art issues here." Rong Xin said indifferently, "If you want to study art in depth, I suggest you apply for the Academy of Fine Arts. We only need to know that Munch's "The Scream" must be worth more than a cat. enough."

The audience burst into laughter, and when Rong Xin came back with a venomous tongue, the faces of the four debates turned pale, and they sat down tremblingly. The other party quickly stood up: "I think the value of the famous paintings the other party said is illusory. In the eyes of some people, this painting represents a high achievement of art, but in the eyes of others, this painting may be worthless! It is just a painting, and it is impossible to compare with the great life created by the Creator!"

Shen Qinglin: "Oh? Then the opponent's debater is making generalizations now. Let's take a closer look. What the opponent's debater means is that as long as a few people who don't understand art deny the value of a work of art, then this masterpiece will become a masterpiece. It's worthless!"

The frustrating and stammering look at the beginning disappeared, and Shen Qinglin completely changed the audience's first impression of him as soon as he opened his mouth. After turning everyone's attention to the other party's robber logic, he immediately said: "Why is the other party arguing?" Netizens would rather give up their lives when faced with appetites, but give up famous paintings when faced with the lives of cats and famous paintings, can it be said that the cultural treasures of human beings are not as good as your appetites?"

This obedience relationship was absolutely perfect, Pei Yan couldn't help but yelled "Okay!" in a low voice.

The atmosphere at the scene was almost heated to boiling during the fierce battle between the two sides. This kind of hearty Jedi counterattack made people's hairs stand on end, and they wished to rush to the stage to debate with them.

The other party’s four defenses were obviously flustered: "We admit that sometimes we have double standards, because human beings cannot succumb to appetite, but now we have the opportunity to save cats. Since we have such a choice, we can get rid of appetite and save lives. sublime, why don't we do it?"

The Leap team admitted its "double standard"!

These words were completely subconsciously uttered. As soon as Si Bian said it, he immediately regretted and wanted to slap himself in the mouth. In a panic, he had already exposed in front of the audience that he had more than enough heart but not enough power. This was a fatal failure, almost irreparable!

Sure enough, Rong Xin stood up immediately, seized this opportunity and asked loudly: "Now there is an opportunity for you to save the art treasures of all mankind, why don't you do it? Why do you love cats and life? Awe can be put away in a restaurant, but you can’t put it away for the treasure of human art? Friends of the other party, please answer my question directly. Is your conscience and your identification with the word life true or false!”

The affirmative debater was speechless, one second, two seconds, three seconds passed, and no one stood up.

"Team Feiyue is dumb!" There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone could see clearly that under the attack of the "Team Anything" with full firepower, Fang Feiyue retreated steadily, and the initial advantage no longer existed. Now it is even more embarrassing to be irrefutable by the opponent's logic.

Whatever you say, the team successfully counterattacked the Jedi!The Leap team was rubbed against the soles of their feet, and they no longer had the strength to turn over.

"Time's up!" The host rang the bell.

After 10 minutes, according to the votes on the spot and the judges' review, the results of the first round of the debate were announced.

The host stood on the stage and revealed the results of the judging bit by bit: "I announce that the winning group of the first round of pk competition is... the team that says anything!"

Everyone expected it, and the cheers like a tsunami resounded through the entire auditorium. Rong Xin and the team members hugged each other. crowd.

In the crowd, Pei Yan was staring at him, the two looked at each other, Pei Yan's handsome face was full of uncontrollable joy and tenderness, although the surrounding noises were loud, Rong Xin could clearly see the corners of his lips twitching. With a bright smile, she lip-synced to him: "Xiao Xinxin is awesome."

Rong Xin's ears were slightly red.

The competition lasted until six o'clock in the evening and finally came to an end. Eight groups participated and four groups won.

Those who remain are the elite of the elite, and next week's four-to-two group stage is expected to be a tough battle.

Pei Yan still had to arrange the ending, so Rong Xin sent the three of his teammates away by himself.

"I can't believe we actually won!" Zhang Ailun hugged Shen Qinglin in a circle excitedly at the gate of Hope University.

Shen Qinglin was staggered by him for two steps, and scratched his head embarrassingly after standing still: "I lost the chain at a critical moment, and I caused trouble for everyone."

Xia Luosheng patted him on the shoulder carelessly: "Oh, it's okay! Who doesn't get nervous, my legs shake when I stand up and talk."

Zhang Ailun also made an exaggerated gesture of trembling hands: "Me too! It scared me to death!"

Rong Xin also nodded sincerely: "I trembled too."

Shen Qinglin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Rong, don't comfort me anymore, you are as calm as a pinnacle on the stage! Thanks to you, we can win!"

"Brother Rong is awesome!" "Brother Rong is awesome!"

Rong Xin smiled lightly: "Average, third in the world."

"Brother Rong can actually make jokes hahahaha!"

The four of them walked out of the campus under the setting sun, and Xia Luosheng turned her head to look regretfully: "It's a pity that we will have to draw lots again to change groups for pk, otherwise I really want to continue to be in the same group as you."

"Who isn't!" Zhang Ailun also turned into a sad face.

Shen Qinglin hooked Zhang Ailun's shoulders: "Don't be so embarrassing, we finally won, let's celebrate, how about I invite you to drink milk tea?"

There is a well-known milk tea shop in City A at the entrance of Hope University, Rong Xin took the three of them there, Xia Luosheng is a senior milk tea lover, she has long coveted the milk tea in City A, happily clamoring to drink the strawberry milk that she has been thinking about for a long time , The burden of the goddess was thrown out of the sky in an instant.

Rong Xin looked at her silently, and smiled lightly. Since seeing the relationship between Pei Yan and Rong Xin, Xia Luosheng immediately gave up her pursuit of Pei Yan. She is an open-minded and upright girl.

"A cup of strawberry milk, a cup of oolong milk cap, and a cup of jasmine milk tea," Shen Qinglin stood in line at the window of the milk tea shop, talking about the milk tea chosen by several people, "Brother Rong, what do you drink?"

"I won't drink anymore." Rong Xin rubbed the back of his stiff neck. After playing for an hour and watching the battle for a long time, his neck was sore. "You guys drink, I'll lose weight."

At this moment, Zhou Yue also came out from the back door of Hope University, ready to go to the milk tea shop to buy a drink.

As everyone expected, Zhou Yue's group also entered the semi-finals, but Zhou Yue was not very happy. Their team's advancement was expected, and there was nothing unusual about it.

What really caught him off guard was the advancement of Rong Xin's group.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Zhou Yue walked towards the milk tea shop in his pocket, his eyes darkened.

He has been the head of the debate club at Soros School for a year, and he knows the styles of debaters and the possible paths like the back of his hand.Before the game, he had investigated all the players who were most likely to fight against him, and figured out their ways through the videos of their previous competitions, which can almost be called foolproof.

But the appearance of Rong Xin, a dark horse, caught him off guard. He didn't expect this freshman from Hope University to be so sharp. This kind of debate style is the most unpredictable in the arena, and it is also the easiest to resonate with the audience.The appearance of Rong Xin disrupted his original layout and rhythm, and became a risk factor that cannot be ignored.

It's hard to imagine that a person who has never had any debate experience would have such a naturally sharp tongue. If he really meets head-on on the field at that time, he will probably suffer a big loss.

"Fuck." Zhou Yue cursed in a low voice, his face becoming more gloomy.

He is the proud son of Soros University. His elite parents have placed high hopes on him since he was a child. He is basically the first in every exam, and he will work hard to not lose in every competition.Participating in the debate this time was also the idea of ​​his parents. Before he left, his mother specifically told him how important this kind of nationwide competition was, and he would never tolerate any mistakes. His father even told him that he must win and not lose.

Zhou Yue threw away the cigarette in his mouth, stepped on it hard and crushed it under his feet.

Rong Xin didn't have a video of participating in the debate for him to study at all. He had no possibility of preparing for it at all.This uncertainty made him uneasy, like an ant getting into a bone, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

In any case, I must win this competition, no matter what the cost.

Suddenly, Zhou Yue frowned and stopped, his gaze fixed not far away - Rong Xin and his teammates were standing at the entrance of the milk tea shop choosing milk tea.

Zhang Ailun laughed wildly and patted his stomach: "Brother Rong, look at my physique and I don't lose weight, why are you losing weight!"

Shen Qinglin was afraid that he would be embarrassed to let him treat him, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay, Brother Rong, you're welcome, it's just a cup of milk tea, you invited me for dinner yesterday."

Xia Luosheng also smiled and said: "It's Brother Rong, if you don't drink, I'm too embarrassed to cheat him."

Under the enthusiastic persuasion of the three friends, Rong Xin had no choice but to tell the truth: "That's not what I mean, I'm allergic to milk tea... no, I'm allergic to all dairy products. You three can drink it, don't worry about me .”

He was originally thin, and his complexion was very fair. At first glance, he looked like he was just recovering from a serious illness. When he said this, everyone suddenly realized, Xia Luosheng opened his eyes wide: "Ah, so it is like this. But it is the first time for me I heard that there are people who are allergic to milk, Brother Rong, what is your allergic reaction, is it red spots all over your body?"

Shen Qinglin was also curious: "Is it still difficult to breathe like asthma?"

"No." Rong Xin shook his head, standing a little tired, leaning against the wall beside him, and smiled helplessly, "It will hurt my stomach."

This problem was not present from birth, but probably started when he was ten years old. It may be that his body was too weak at that time. Once Rong Xin was thirsty in the middle of the night, so he went to the refrigerator and drank 500ml of ice milk in one go. .That night, I vomited to death and was sent to the emergency room. Since then, I have suffered from this problem. As long as I eat a little dairy product, my stomach hurts so much that I can’t straighten my back. So I almost don’t touch any dairy products. He didn't even eat the milk chocolate that Pei Yan gave him when he went to Fengming Mountain.

"It's a pity, so many delicious things can't be eaten." Charlotte shook her head regretfully.

Rong Xin didn't care: "It's okay, I didn't really like drinking milk." The chicken is still delicious.

The four of them didn't notice that behind the tree not far away, Zhou Yue listened to their conversation completely, and a cold smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, Pei Yan rubbed his sore waist and finally walked out of the venue: "It's finally over!"

Pei Yan couldn't help being happy when he thought of Xiao Bingshan's promotion.

Little Bingshan was as expected, no matter what time it was, he was able to handle it with ease.

Pei Yan touched his lips, recalling Rong Xin's demeanor fighting all the heroes on stage, he felt his heart burning hot.

Fuck, I like it even more.

He squinted his eyes, and was about to take out his phone and was about to call Xiao Bingshan, but suddenly saw several missed calls on his phone, which were from the police station.

Pei Yan rubbed her waist with her hand, and the smile on her face slowly faded as if it had been frozen. She turned around and walked to the backstage lounge where no one was there, and locked the door with her backhand.

"Hey, ouch, you answered the phone."

Qi Yiming from the Criminal Police Brigade was sitting in the East District Police Station sorting out the materials, with his mobile phone between his ears and shoulders: "The file of the case you wanted in City B four years ago has been found. This case involves a big man, and it is very difficult to find. I didn't have enough authority at the beginning, so they told me in the name of Lao Liu. Yan'er, you owe me a big meal."

Pei Yan gripped the phone slightly with her fingers, the joy just now was completely covered by the nervousness at this moment.

He has been waiting for news from City B since two days ago, and now the truth is close at hand. Who is Rong Xin's real revenge target will soon surface, and his throat is almost tight: "Which big man. "

Qi Yiming tapped on the file, and a low voice came from afar from the phone: "I couldn't believe it at first, it was Zhao Yuanqi, the son of the boss of Hongcheng Group."
