His Majesty the Demon King of Justice

Sid Allen Poe, the executive president of Angel Corporation, after losing the continental shelf oscillator, the small half of the high-level management of the floating island headquarters and even the director of the supervision department, the loss of more than a dozen branches in the southwest of the Elven Continent and After thousands of employees, he did not fall into despair, because he knew that the seemingly dominant Huaxia people still did not have the decisive weapon that would affect the final outcome, and the balance of the war was still tilted towards him—— The Chinese who are still in the chemical | science | explosive | [drug] generation cannot compare with the powerful destructive weapons on the starship in terms of final weapons.

This kind of self-confidence stemming from the absolute superiority of force, until the returning starship entered the atmosphere, it did not respond to the signal from the floating island headquarters, but instead flew directly to the Chinese control area and cracks appeared...

The starship that entered the Chinese-controlled area did not launch an attack as Sid Allan Poe imagined. After landing, he opened the hatch unsuspectingly to the Chinese. President Sid, who had been staring at this side with a fixed-point satellite, collapsed immediately The starship mutiny is still so blatant and undisguised, even if Sid Allan Poe knows that the home planet can send an army at will to completely wipe out the Chinese people on this planet, at least a hundred days later. Sid, who was on a space voyage, was also unable to send the message back to the mother star.

After that, the Chinese people didn't seem to be in a hurry to show off their martial arts with the starship's mutiny. They built the landing point of the starship into a fortress-type base at an extremely fast speed. The ship was gradually disassembled... Seeing this scene, Sid couldn't think of anything. The colonial planet simply didn't have the technology reserves to rebuild a space starship from the head. Once the starship was dismantled, including the Chinese people There are no conditions to fly out of the universe - those escape spaceships that can only take a single person and are forced to set a route back to the parent star are also placed on the starship!

When the head office discovers that the colonial planet has lost contact, it will of course send people over to investigate... But will it be half a year or a year later?

Sid Allan Poe still thinks that the Chinese will be driven off this planet sooner or later, but that has nothing to do with him...

After suffering another half month of anxiety, Sid Allan Poe, who had become decadent, saw the envoy sent by the Chinese to the floating island base. Along with the envoy were the traitors on the starship, the original One of Angel's employees.

The envoy of the Chinese people did not make a long speech with Sid Allan Poe. After meeting, he signaled the traitor to take out the projection equipment, and played the scene before the fall of the starship to the executive president of the Angail Corporation's colonial branch. ...

In the cosmic environment, a monster that is more flexible than the most advanced space fighters, possesses terrifying vitality and unimaginable offensive methods, told Sid Allan Poe wordlessly that the Chinese not only have the energy of space air combat, but also have this kind of combat power. Blue Star's technological level is neither preventable nor invincible. The starships that have been dismantled by the Chinese as trophies are the best evidence...Under such deterrence, Sid Allan Poe had no choice but to hold back. Qu Di signed the "Agreement on Joint Cooperation and Joint Development of Pandaren Planet No. Gale Company will shrink its branch to this area, and give up its involvement in other subtropical and tropical regions; and require Angel Company to release all the natives of this planet in batches and according to the receiving procedures of the Chinese people, and to change the direction of profit from immoral Population plunder turns to energy or other directions.

The envoys of the Huaxia people were particularly stern when they mentioned this part of the agreement, claiming that if the Angaier company does not respect the human ethics recognized by the Huaxia people, then the Huaxia people will not give up the "education method" by any means, and must let Angail Gale Corporation understands how important the inevitability of the universal guarantee of human ethics is... What else could Sid Allan Poe say about this?The Huaxia people are still showing a relatively "gentleman" and "civilized" attitude and style. If they are in a hurry, they will directly turn all the nearly [-] employees of Angel Company into prisoners. Then they will naturally think what to do How to implement the education method can be implemented.

When the agreement was signed, Sid Allan Poe knew that even if it was a contract of prostitution, he couldn't help but not sign it. He couldn't even put on a posture of non-violence and non-cooperation. Sometimes, the details of the contract are not complete until how they are implemented in the actual operation, and even some Chinese people have solemnly added some treaties that Sid Allan Poe considered unnecessary, such as:

The owner of the Pandaren planet must be, and can only be, the natives of this planet. Both the Angail Company and the Huaxia Development Department are "visiting" outsiders. The occupied areas of the two... er... the control of the two The district can only be regarded as rented from the aborigines, and the rent must be paid. The details of this rent will be implemented in the form of tripartite talks after the establishment of the aborigines' organization department.

As tenants, Angel Company and the Huaxia people are obliged to guarantee the basic human rights of the aborigines, and Angel Company is obliged to help the aborigines sold as commodities return to their hometowns as much as possible if conditions permit...

Sid Allan Poe didn't think too much about the contents of these treaties when he signed them. When the envoys of the Chinese people left, he ordered the floating island base in the deep sea to move to the north, and prepared to shrink all the manpower to preserve its strength. It was only when I suddenly realized that the Huaxia people were too lazy to intervene to manage their large group of "defeated refugees". It seemed that they had set aside an area to allow them to fend for themselves, but in fact they still regarded them as captives. , and they are going to exchange the people they and the head office will send to investigate the situation in exchange for the sold natives...

Sid Allan Poe, who claims to be of noble birth, suddenly felt that he had no energy to do anything after realizing this.

Of course, there is no reason for the Huaxia people to raise more than 9 Angail employees or family members for nothing. Now, with the addition of General Liu from the Pandaren mainland, the number of aborigines who have been resettled by the Huaxia people has reached 80 to 10. Six towns have been built, and they have to organize production, find ways to educate the aborigines, and have to work hard to select an organization and management department from the aborigines that can meet the ideas of the Chinese people. Helping Angail's war refugees intrigue?

As for whether to develop the Pandaren planet into an enclave of Huaxia Kingdom, and create a plane from a foreign country... the Huaxia people really don't think about it.The principle of organization is on the one hand, on the other hand, the Chinese country is big enough, and the population is really large enough, and now the stalls in the country can't manage it.

But if it is said that the Huaxia people support some kind of king and lord to come out to implement the feudal system on the ground that the Huaxia people have grabbed one by one, the Huaxia people will definitely not do it...

The first batch of shantytown towns were established. Tractors emitting black smoke on the big plain outside the town are plowing the abandoned land that has been turned into wilderness for many years, and now it is slowly turning into fields from the wilderness. Leading a group of aboriginal farmers walking on the path compacted by a steamroller, pointing to the densely grown soybean fields that can't be seen as far as the eye can see: "It will be the harvest time in two days. All the soybeans in this area are harvested and used to press oil, and then planted." Go wheat.” Then he pointed to the side of the tractor where the repeated deep plowing was done, “We plant soybeans for one season, and plant wheat after harvesting the soybeans in the next year. You have grown soybeans once and have experience. When you look back, each production team will arrange people to go to the seed company as soon as possible. Get the seeds, do the budget work early..."

The Chinese people did not allocate land to these aborigines who had regained their freedom. Although the colonized population on this planet has been greatly reduced due to the Angel Company, and there are seriously too many people and less land, the Chinese people who are used to seeking eternal life have already determined when they built the town. The good land has a national route... although the country of the aborigines is still unknown.

As for the system of the production team moved here... It is also easy to understand. The slaves captured by the Angel Company will not be returned to you according to the township and county. It is the Chinese people who want to save trouble and form families for the aborigines as soon as possible, and there is also the problem of reproductive isolation... Can't they just let these aborigines who are mostly single-headed households unite and form production teams?

Among the five production teams led by agricultural technicians, one of the five captains was a pandaren captured from the pandaren continent, an elf, and two humans, and the last one was also captured from the pandaren continent. dwarf……

The main race of Pandaren Continent is humans, followed by Pandaren, and then there are many minority races. Dwarves are the mainstream among many minority races. Their appearance is indeed similar to that of the dwarves in "Lord of the Rings". The dwarves played by the actors can fight much more, and the two dwarves can lift up and run fast due to improper operation of the tractor...

It was impossible for so many races on the original planet to mix and live together. After the big change, they didn’t pay so much attention. The original organizational system and social rules were violently destroyed by Angail Corporation, and dwarves and elves can also be called brothers. ...The only problem is that this planet has been occupied for a long time. Although the aborigines can endure hardships and are obedient, many of them do not have the skills of farmers and have to learn everything from scratch.

In the 10,000+ population of the shantytown town, except for a few special reasons that cannot afford work, [-]% of the people are assigned to various production teams to participate in production, and the remaining [-]% have to enter various factories to earn rations. Females have indeed given up the evolution of physical strength due to the need for reproduction. At present, most of the workers entering factories are human females. At least females meet the requirements of workers in terms of being careful, obedient and highly sexual. However, due to the difference between the environment of the aborigines and the earth, the human "women" here are also much stronger than the people on earth.

Director Wang Long of the Safety Management Bureau, who is in charge of law and order in name but is actually in charge of all the affairs of the town, walked out of the container reform office with dark circles under his eyes. Tong Tong was passing by the gate of the compound with brisk steps. After seeing Director Wang Long, the two female workers who were visually estimated to be about 70 years old, but actually over 40, showed a humble and flattering smile unique to the bottom class. Speed ​​up and run away.

"..." Chief Wang Long's eyes paused on the 70kg mark on the oil drum, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly... I don't know if the air on this planet is particularly nourishing for people. One level...At the beginning, everyone was worried about whether a group of older women could take on the work of the oil mill. As a result, the stupid people on earth discovered that this old age and infirmity are only relative to those unscientific reasons As far as the residents are concerned, in terms of physical strength, fifty old women (aboriginal people) are enough to hang and beat thirty young people (earth people)... Uh, after all, working women on the earth seem to be able to beat The appearance of a young man in an abandoned house...

Of course, from the perspective of Director Wang Long, who came out of the grassroots police, no matter how shocking the world is, the rescued aborigines can rely on their own efforts to get their lives back on track. The group of people in the center of the town, in a group of buildings specially protected by concrete walls.

Director Wang Long would go over to take a look after finishing his daily tasks every day. Now that he had seen the sky, Director Wang Long, who had locked the gate of the Security Management Bureau compound, went to the protection center in the center of the town. up.

The degree of isolation in the protection center is higher than that of the employee dormitory areas of the existing factories. Outsiders are still allowed to enter the employee dormitory at noon every day, but they have to register for entry and exit, and they must be kicked out after the time passes. The protection center is It is forbidden for any outsiders to approach, even if they are Chinese people, they must be registered and accompanied by medical staff from the protection center throughout the process. Without permission, they must not come into contact with the people placed inside.

People here, not to mention being assigned to work in factories or production teams, will have stress reactions and negative mental stimulation when meeting strangers, and cannot integrate into society normally. Even the staff responsible for chores must have psychological knowledge, Or psychiatric students who graduated from medical school can imagine the seriousness of these people's mental problems.

"Director Wang." Professor Chen, the director of the protection center and who brought the students to do psychiatric social practice and directly practiced in another world, saw Wang Long and nodded slightly as a greeting.This Professor Chen passed the inspection after all the residents in the shantytown town were arranged to move in. He rushed here with his students to engage in "scientific research in the countryside". The crowd management method of the disease was simple and rude, and he lost his temper immediately. He immediately made a report to the valley base to apply for building a mental hospital in the town to accommodate and treat patients... After consideration, the base did not approve it, but still allocated manpower and material resources to cover it. the conservation center.

Director Wang Long was not polite either. After entering the door, he sat down and asked directly, "How is today?"

"The group with serious self-mutilation tendencies still can't control their emotions, but the "suicides" were discovered and stopped in time." Professor Chen sighed. It's not like he wasn't shocked and excited when he came. People, as a result, the excitement is gone after the work is done, and there seems to be some resentment at the moment, "I didn't say that the way the central government dealt with the invaders is completely problematic. If you don't say that the beasts are captured one by one, they should be shot. If they were shot, why did they retreat to the north completely?"

It's not the first time that Professor Chen has complained about this. Director Wang Long patiently listened to him spraying "appeasement" and "appeasement" for a long time before he straightened the problem: "The protection center can't lock them up forever. , Is there any "possibility" for these people to return to normal life?"

Professor Chen thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's hard!" He sighed and said again, "It's not that I want to make the condition more serious, but let the group that is being protected now go out, and you can arrange someone to collect them every few days. Once the corpse is collected, it will be counted when it is collected."

Director Wang Long could only sigh, and turned to look at the lush garden outside the window of the director's office...

There are more than a hundred elves sitting or standing in the garden, as well as a dozen humans, and dwarves who are very rare even among the aborigines. The staff is organizing them to listen to the concert. The soothing music played on the stereo is probably very effective. At any rate, Director Wang Long didn't see the scene of a group of people huddling together and going crazy, which made the staff burnt out during the previous visits.

The managers of Angel Company will regard some of the slaves as "sex"|slaves, most of these "sex"|slaves did not last until the Chinese came, and the few lucky ones who survived were also infected with severe mental illness—— Nearly all were depressed and manic, had severe self-harm tendencies, and worse... almost none of them had family members to turn to, no relatives to comfort with words or deeds.

One of the most impressive things about Wang Long before Professor Chen came was that one of the patients cut his hand into a blood gourd with glass shards obtained from a broken window, relying on this incomprehensible self-mutilation behavior Only then can he calm down and sit on the ground and eat like a normal person... This man is a male elf. It is said that he was a strong man in a certain elf tribe before he became a slave. He has extremely strong self-esteem and pride He believed that "suicide" was a coward's choice, so he took extreme measures to try to survive "normally"...

This patient at least had the desire to survive, and most of them were other people who put the hope of liberation on death... In order to avoid the tragic consequences of "collecting the corpse", Wang Long had to draw out the embarrassing manpower at that time. Some came out to keep an eye on them.

"Professor Chen, I'm thinking, should they also do some simple work that can be done in the protection center?" Director Wang Long suppressed his pity in his heart, and told Professor Chen his thoughts, "We people on earth are now Some psychiatric drugs have little effect on them, and it is difficult to effectively get them out of the shadows by relying on staff arrangements and organization alone, so it is better to use a flexible method and use other methods to divert their attention... What do you think?"

"I've also been thinking about this issue recently." Professor Chen nodded, "The illness of despairing of oneself and the world, subconsciously thinking that they have no reason to live is a knot in many of them's hearts, so think of ways from the side, let They know that they are valuable people, so they should be able to try it. However, I think this auxiliary method can only be effective if it is combined with "drug" treatment. If you are serious, Director Wang, please help me to "drug" the medicine Over there in the lab..."

Wang Long couldn't help but smiled wryly, urging the people in the pharmacology laboratory to line up and don't know where they are, and he is still needed... Some of the common diseases of the aborigines in other worlds can use the medicines of the earth, but There are still many existing medicines that cannot meet the needs of the aborigines here. Many people almost had accidents because of the adaptability of the two worlds when they caught a cold. For this reason, the Huaxia Academy of Medical Sciences The Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences directly moved all the pharmacology laboratories here.

Chief Wang Long’s visit to the protection center was not just for wandering. Some of the people resettled were rescued by Chief Wang Long from Angaier’s branch. It can be regarded as a means of adjuvant treatment for Long to meet and talk with these patients.

So far, the male elf who still has to rely on a certain degree of self-mutilation to maintain his sanity is called Shu. When the nurse in a white coat brought him to the reception room, Shu showed a very shallow smile at Wang Long, This is not to say that he came out of the shadows, but that the education he had received was affecting this forest elf.

Wang Long observed Shu's arm exposed outside the loose robe, probably because the nurse stared closely at it, and there were no new wounds.When the nurse slightly pressed his shoulder to let him sit down, Shu looked vaguely anxious, but he didn't obviously resist the nurse's slight touch.

The nurses in the protection center are either students brought by Professor Chen, or nursing, psychiatric, and psychology students borrowed from domestic colleges and universities. These young people say that it is impossible to suppress patients by force, but they must be managed. The only way to live with a patient is to rely on a student with obvious Chinese characteristics and an immature temperament—even if the patient goes crazy, he is unwilling to hurt a Chinese person. At least one squad of special forces is needed...

Wang Long knew that this elf had a strong self-esteem. Every time he met, he would hide his pity in his heart and talk to the tree as if dealing with normal people. After a few greetings in Elvish language, Wang Long showed a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Tree, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. This is my personal request. If you are in a difficult situation, you can refuse me." It doesn't matter."

Tree's eyes brightened slightly, and he nodded slightly.

Wang Long nodded, and talked about the lack of manpower in the town as if complaining to a friend, and mentioned that the higher-ups had arranged for him a task that needed to be completed as soon as possible and that required confidentiality. There was really no manpower to complete this task He had no choice but to ask a friend for help...

Seeing Wang Long as a friend he could turn to for help seemed to make him very happy. He actually took the initiative to ask some questions about how to complete this task, and finally suggested to Wang Long very actively: he wants to protect It is best to get the support of the director of the center, Professor Chen, to complete the tasks in the center.

The need to be needed by others is probably the need that all intelligent creatures have in the depths of their souls. Shu, who had become taciturn due to a bad experience, took the initiative to contact other patients in the center after the meeting and asked them if they could Apart from those critically ill patients who are self-enclosed and refuse to contact the outside world, quite a few people have agreed to help him "fulfill Director Wang Long's request".

Seeing that the situation was very good, Professor Chen urgently approached Wang Long to discuss what kind of tasks should be entrusted to these patients. After many discussions, it was indeed quite difficult for the two of them to find one, and it must be kept confidential in the early stage. ’ task—to let these post-traumatic stress disorder patients write adult education popularization materials that are in line with the facts.

This is really a brain hole... This group of patients cannot integrate into society normally because they all have bad experiences, but at the same time, it is also because they are indeed a group of aborigines who think too much. Wang Long and Professor Chen intend to let them To face another problem that requires more thinking: This popular education textbook for adults is undoubtedly not in line with the original social environment of the Pandaren planet. While popularizing education to adult aborigines, it is also necessary to teach them to go against the conventional wisdom and cognition, let them learn the skills to integrate into the new society, and use a subtle way to send people who have just jumped out of the feudal era into civilization-based society. In the new society of...

It has to be said that this is an unimaginable challenge. As a forest elf, a tree who regards the belief in the forest goddess as natural as eating and drinking in his bones, is completely in a state of sluggishness to Wang Long's request...

"Since God didn't save us, why do we still believe in God? Since we all know that there is no savior in this world, and we can only rely on ourselves to save ourselves, then of course there is no need for everyone to agree with God's rules." Born in Director Wang Long, who grew up under the red flag of New China, said very naturally, "We Chinese people came here because the ancestors of the Chinese people and your ancestors were friends, and the people of our two planets have been brothers and sisters since ancient times; we Chinese people came here. Human beings have the ability to drive the colonists away because we have broken the feudal superstition and established a new society decades earlier, so that we have the organizational strength to send over weapons and supplies. You see, you guys Whether it’s good or us, we haven’t received help from God, and we can only rely on our own hands to move towards a better tomorrow. If we want to believe, it’s more beneficial to worship ourselves than to worship God.”

Shu's eyes widened, and he had nothing to say about the Huaxia people's attitude of treating belief as a transaction in their bones...

Among the patients, in addition to people who think that belief in God is very natural, there are also people who think that aristocratic rule is a matter of course. For example, the two human slaves rescued from the Z-21 branch belonged to a certain territory on the Pandaren mainland. The descendants of the aristocrats in the world, because of their superior life, they are relatively old and have thin skin and white flesh. They are regarded as "sex"|slaves. There are adult textbooks that do not recognize the status of nobles. These two descendants of noble families, and even those who are higher in the succession rank, are almost not stupid.

Regarding the two of them, Director Wang Long, who came out of the grassroots police, flexibly changed his explanation: "Of course, this is because all the nobles did not fulfill their duties of protecting the territory and the people when the colonists invaded. I asked for the protection of the lord, right? In the end, the lords have enjoyed the honor and support of the people for so many years and so many generations. If they didn’t protect the people well, they would fill it in themselves...In this case, we certainly can’t admit how much superior status the nobles had in the past. Now, if new nobles emerge in the future and can truly fulfill their duty of protecting the people, then it will not be too late for us to respect them again."

His words did not seem to show the attitude of attacking local tyrants and nobles, but in fact they were all pitfalls... To protect the people, you have to face the parent planet of Angel Corporation, the technology side The powerful planet Blue Star, if any noble can really have this ability, the Huaxia people will give you a thumbs up, and then bring the demon mercenaries to see how good you are...

This kind of bare-bones teaching material compilation work that hides class struggle is left to the protection center, a group that thinks too much all day long and is indeed a group with a relatively high IQ among the aborigines. Professor Chen strokes his beard and smiles and praises Jitong—he I don't think this group of patients really has the ability to write general textbooks, but in the short term, they definitely don't have the energy to think about such headaches as how to seek death and how to die.

The matter of the protection center here is finalized, and the summer harvest and summer planting work of the production teams in the other side of the town is also over. With the assistance of agricultural machinery brought by the agricultural brigade, and technicians coming down to the production team to lead the harvest and planting, even a group of farmers who have not been named It is also impossible for skilled aborigines to have any problems growing soybeans and wheat... These two crops themselves are very solid.

After half a year in the agricultural production team model, the agricultural brigade has almost "discovered" the quality of the aborigines' farmers. After the report was handed in, Director Wang Long, who is part-time the police chief, judge, and town mayor, sent more than a thousand people from the whole town The captain of the production team convened a collective meeting. At the meeting, Director Wang Long informed the production team of the reorganization plan:

First, more than [-] production teams will be reorganized, consolidated and reduced to [-], and those who are not suitable for agricultural production will be transferred from the production teams to arrange other jobs.

The technicians of the agricultural brigade believe that there are indeed many aborigines who are not suitable for agricultural production. Of course, the formation of the production team in the spring was not really intended to create such a large agricultural team. It is not necessary to have so many farmers to cultivate the plains around the town. One reason, and another reason is that the Chinese need a relatively long period of time to gain a deep understanding of the aborigines, and use the production team model to make these aborigines with "chaotic" sources develop working habits and discipline Talk about the habit of order, and exercise a certain degree of obedience.

Taking one step counts three steps and watching ten steps is the habit of Chinese people, but the aborigines don't know it. As soon as Director Wang Long's voice fell, more than a thousand production team leaders who participated in the meeting became nervous and began to whisper. The production team model organized in spring About ten people form a group, and ten groups form a team. Every five production teams are responsible for the joint cultivation of an area. With the original strong physique of the aborigines and the assistance of the agricultural machinery arranged by the agricultural brigade, the work is not heavy to be honest. , It's relatively easy... That is, in places where the assigned responsibility fields are relatively far away, everyone needs to go out half an hour in advance and walk more than ten kilometers.

Even before being invaded by the colonists, it was very rare to be able to support yourself and live a better life with sufficient supplies (relatively speaking) just like playing. Now we need to reduce so many production teams, The captains were very nervous, for fear that their team would be selected. In this case, it would be difficult for them to explain themselves to other people in the team. The team leaders and captains of the production team were all chosen by themselves and trusted by everyone. No one can afford to lose everyone's jobs at a collective meeting.

A production team leader with a leopard head and obvious orc features raised his hands courageously. After being called, he stood up and spoke: "I and my team may not be very good at farming, but everyone is willing to learn, please give Let's have more chances, don't disband our production team."

Wang Long recognized this production team leader with a leopard head, because his head is really special... The Huaxia people privately nicknamed him Lin Chong, and he personally thinks that although the name Lin Chong Weird but nicer than his original name, so he really changed his name to Lin Chong...

"The streamlining of the production team doesn't mean that you don't recognize your labor, nor does it mean that you don't give everyone the opportunity to learn." Director Wang Long said with a smile, "We Chinese people have a saying that socks are valuable, not to mention living people. It’s just that everyone’s talents are different. Some people have a flexible mind and can’t fight. Could it be said that his flexible brain is useless? Of course not, it’s just that his brain has not been used. So I say Well, being unsuited to farming and having no talent in planting does not mean that you are not good in other areas. And our current production team has been reorganized and streamlined to solve the problem that there is no suitable place for everyone to display their talents. For example, you, Lin Chong , Whoever says that you are good at farming, then he must not be telling the truth. But when it comes to hunting in the mountains and forests in your free time, and hunting wild deer on the grasslands, there are definitely not many people in our town who can compare with you."

Director Wang Long, who has worked as a policeman for more than ten years and can persuade mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to go home hand in hand for dinner, mischievously winked at Lin Chong: "Now I want to say that our organization disbanded Lin Chong's production team, Transfer the people in his team who are good at planting to other brigades, and then let us, an expert hunter, lead a special forest ranger team, let people like him be under his control, and specialize in patrolling around the plains and catching those who destroy crops Wild boar, wild deer, rabbit, and by the way, I will show everyone a tooth-fighting festival, do you think it is good?"
