Be careful from the male insect [Interstellar]

[Prosthetic legs and others: What does Aiwen want us to see? 】

【Ivory Tower and Attempted Murder: Dispute or Reconciliation between the Liberal Party and the Old Party? 】

【…】

"Good guy, I heard that the news interface was stuck for 10 minutes today." The editor-in-chief said, "This time you have caused a huge sensation."

indeed so.As soon as Aiwen's writing was sent out, it was clicked tens of millions of times.Irga's hotline was almost blown up, and the shocked people wanted to confirm that this Aiwen was indeed Bi Aiwen.After being confirmed, several news headlines reported this "interview of the century" - as the second headline said, what is earth-shattering when the son of a female servant who was attempted murder meets the son of a female gentleman in the ivory tower Anything can happen.The female father of the former died unexpectedly, while the female father of the latter has been sentenced to death. They are doomed to die together: there may be a fight during the period, or at least a verbal confrontation on the podium, but no one can imagine that this encounter took place in In an interview, it was so peaceful, which is very strange.

What is even more incomprehensible to the worm is that the male worm named Aiwen still focuses on the individual fate and the artificial leg, and even implicitly equates himself with Mick.So that day, I almost got a copy of the subscription newspaper. While trying to see a hole in Aiwen's article, I talked about the content of this matter or the metaphor.

Is the Liberal Party and the old party going to reconcile?

No, I don't think so.

Wait a minute, why did Aiwen write a manuscript for Irga?

He becomes Ilga's special correspondent!God!

Does this signify Ivan will formally withdraw from the Liberal Party?

Why did Namick say that he was going to participate in the charity meeting in the name of a worm?

what happened?Are these two worms going to quit their respective parties?

"But no matter what they say, the only thing that is indisputable is that it was a huge success." The editor-in-chief rubbed his hands, "You understand? For journalists, topic and popularity are everything. Not to mention that this is not something Vulgar lace news, once the excitement of the people passes, the rest of the content is still quite worthy of thought.”

In short, the editor-in-chief is very satisfied.Immediately after the first hotline blew up, Ilga set out to add five new phone lines and quickly negotiated a dozen interviews and early-bird coverage rights on various fronts—some of which specifically requested their New special correspondents write for them, while others don't, just to catch the wave.

The editor-in-chief was busy with these arrangements, checked the various benefits that this matter brought to Irga, and doubled Ivan's salary.

"The timing is just right." He said very happily, "The charity auction is about to start. We have won a place, and we can watch it up close, and then I will take you and other journalists to attend the follow-up banquet. It's a celebration banquet."

The timing was right.That day, a luxury express train slowly drove out from Ilga, and there was a circle of reporters from other newspapers outside, but none of them caught Aiwen from the window.

Because of his ambiguous position, he still has a high degree of enthusiasm; at the same time, because of his confusing discussion in the article, they are more interested in his follow-up actions.

The car drove directly into the venue, and Ivan was still half-supported by Ryan (so that if something happened to his real or fake leg, he would be in the news again), all the worms walked into Irga's exclusive private room.There was still a while before the auction started, so the worms began to look through the auction catalogue.Ivan turned around for a long time, but didn't see Mick's prosthetic leg—he didn't realize until later that it was an auction item that Mick would buy next year—but he saw the sulfuric acid planet.

That [Welcome to the main star].

There are almost no female employees in Ilga, except for Aiwen, who is their chairman (also the editor-in-chief, but it was not made public, that is what Aiwen learned from everyone's gossip later), but the chairman is now I was socializing with the editor-in-chief outside, so Ivan was separated from a sofa in the room for him to study the auction catalog without interference.They're not here to buy anything, of course, but this kind of catalog is colorful and interesting to look at.

"There's still food to eat." Billy said, his mouth full of the ice cream sticks that had just been dipped into the chocolate waterfall. "We paid for it all at once, and the buffet snack meal is included. You must eat it back."

So they twittered and ate to their heart's content.There is no worm who is embarrassed because of Aiwen's presence. After all, they are all decades older than Aiwen, so they won't be twitchy.Alvin also started to eat.Only Ryan didn't join the binge, because he sat there frowning at the booklet, looking very uncomfortable.

"What's the matter?" Ivan came back from the long table, "Come, eat an ice cream bar."

Ryan took the ice cream stick, held it in his hand without eating, and continued to look at the catalogue.

Alvin: "What are you looking at?"

Ryan suddenly came back to his senses, trying to hide: "No, nothing, it's just the Serbian star..."

But it's too late.Ivan has already moved over, and saw the auction item that Ryan must be looking at at a glance:

A fully automated robotic prosthesis consisting of a prosthetic leg, prosthetic arm and an artificial eye.The pulleys can be extended under the feet, the arms can be fully extended, and the eyes can see through.Prosthetics are second-hand products that are no longer used, but they are extremely delicate in workmanship and can be put into use again after modification.

Ivan sat down slowly, still staring at the prosthesis.

His father's.Ai Wen thought, he is a female father.His father's.His father's.

Holden's special ability may be that every time Ivan firmly believes that he will not hurt himself further, this bug can always impress him.Not bad this time either.The prosthetic limb that Aiwen sent back to him as a token of Enjuanyijue was put up for auction, it really belonged to him.Ivan never expected this before, probably because he is not wicked enough.

"He won." Ai Wen said angrily, "Good guy, I swear that one day, I will let him break his heart and cry in front of me. Although this worm seems to have no heart at all."

He naturally understood why Ryan didn't want him to see the catalog page, but compared to this, the most unbearable thing was that on the eve of the end of the auction, he had to sit there and watch with his own eyes that he had used it for more than ten years. The prosthetic limbs, which have been modified countless times to suit his physical growth, are sold, and the remaining money is "donated to charity".Ai Wen has never experienced such an ironic thing.

Here it is: going to the auction should have been fun, but now it's all messed up by Holden.

Aiwen sat in his seat, feeling very angry, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, lest other bugs find out that something was wrong.He continued fidgeting through the pamphlet and decided to go for a walk in the hallway with Ryan.Anyway, the aisle where the private rooms are located is all private rooms, and there are no idle insects, and there will be no safety hazards or other troubles.

"We'll be right back." Ivan said, and then he and Ryan left.

Before leaving, he vented his anger and grabbed a handful of hot ice cream cones on the buffet table, which had all kinds of flavors.He decides to eat them all in the hallway with Ryan, pretending that's Holden.

The corridors are really quiet and bug-free.On a narrow wall, there are many mobile digital photos displayed, which are the highlights of previous charity auctions.The auction was created after the Civil War officially ended, with the goal of focusing on fringe bug populations and promoting peace and fraternity.Worms are all smiles in every photo, only the one from last year with Meek looks out of place: prosthetic leg in the middle, buyer on one side, Meek on the other, scowling like the buyer owes him 100 Just in case.

"Tell me," Ivan looked at the photo, "why does he always look so unhappy?"

This question is quite difficult to answer.

They strolled in the corridor for a while, they were really bored, and Ivan was a little tired from standing, so they had to go back home.However, after eating all the Holden, Aiwen's mood was improved. After returning, he concentrated on watching the auction, exclaiming excitedly or complaining with other bugs from time to time.Acid planets sold for a premium, followed by autographs of important bugs, player jerseys and balls, and... oh, the prosthetics.

Ryan looked disturbed. "Shall we go down the corridor again?"

Ai Wen: "No, I want to see who wants to buy it."

He said this with an expression as if he wanted to chew up any insect that dared to do so.This expression looked terrible. Ivan was still wondering why Mick always kept a dark face in front of the public. Now that it was his turn, he began to understand a little bit.Maybe there are more entanglements that the worms can't understand between Mick and his artwork and the male father.

"20 stars!" The host said loudly, "20 once, 20 twice, 20 three times—"

Aiwen looked at the booth intently, vowing to savor the complex feelings it brought him as carefully as possible.

If they were in a movie, Ai Wen must be the protagonist, and this auction must be the highlight.In such a scene, it is absolutely impossible for this pair of prosthetic legs to be bought by the worm so easily. There must be some accident in the middle, so that the prosthetic leg is still stuck on the stage, and finally it will be like a lost puppy... up.

Ivan thought, compared to Holden selling the prosthesis, he might be more unbearable for Holden to send it back to himself.He didn't want to accept any more kindness from the worm.

However, when he thought this way, the prosthesis auction was over.There was no drama, no worms trying to claim final ownership of the prosthetic.After three bids, the prosthetic limb belonged to Mr. M in the 20th box at a price of 16 stars. It is not known who this Mr. M is.

What would he want a prosthetic for?Had he been gnawed by the hyena too?

Ivan slowly relaxed, no longer sitting upright on the sofa.The next exhibit was delivered to the stage, but he didn't have the energy to focus on what it was.He and Ryan sat quietly in the corner for a while, determined to continue bingeing.In the end he did manage to eat through the entire period between the opening and closing of the next exhibit, but at that moment the doorbell rang.

A waiter bug stood outside the door, holding a beautifully wrapped gift box in his hand.

"Excuse me, is Aiwen Xiongzi of Irden in this box?" the worm asked.

Alvin immediately stood up, "Yes."

"Here is a gift for you." The waiter said, "Check it."
