Barrier of Light

"Sorry for the waitting."

Cui Zhongcheng read the last dozen or so pages for more than an hour. After the sun moved, there were only remaining spots of light falling on the two of them.

The man closed the pages of the book and said apologetically, "I thought your review... would end at night at the earliest."

Dream interpretation is the longest test.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shen finished it so quickly.

"You're too polite." Gu Shen quickly shook his head, "I've always wanted to come here to read, so I didn't think so for a long time."

Cui Zhongcheng glanced at Gu Shen's hand.

He reads very slowly, while Gu Shen is the complete opposite. He has finished reading two books since he sat across from him.

"Electromagnetic topology?" Cui Zhongcheng smiled. This is an old subject that has been conquered a long time ago, and the person who conquered it is famous: "Why did you choose this book? Randomly? You are still interested in Alan Turing ?”

"Actually, I'm interested in the deep sea..."

This sentence sounds a little arrogant, Gu Shen quickly corrected it: "To be precise, I am more curious about the research and development process of the deep sea, so I read some related books when I have time, miscellaneous, and everything."

"Then you shouldn't choose this book. This book is too old. Topology has little to do with the deep sea." Cui Zhongzhong said with a smile, "Maybe you should read books on cloud computing and deep sea language."

"Logic and algorithm should be just architecture..." Gu Shen thought for a while, scratched his head and said, "Mr. Turing said that the real flesh and blood of technology is the knowledge and truth that have not been entered into the database. I know that I am not smart, so I usually choose this kind of book... The subject is conquered, all the difficult points are marked, and there will be basically no confusion after reading it."

Cui Zhongzhong was silent for a while, and looked at the boy meaningfully: "Gu Shen...you are different from what I imagined. Don't belittle yourself, maybe you are much smarter than you imagined."

Gu Shen shrugged off the compliment with embarrassment, and said frankly: "You are also different from what I imagined. I thought you would..."

paused.

He posed as if he was typing on the keyboard, and said with a smile, "very busy."

Who would have thought that the congressman's assistant, who has a lot of things to do every day, would spend the whole day sitting leisurely in the library reading paper books.

"Today is an exception, because I want to see you." Cui Zhongzhong stood up, cleared the books on the table, put the monocle into the coat pocket, and then put the whole coat on his arm, smiling: "We talked while walking." Let me show you my alma mater."

The two left the library, walking and stopping along the way.

"I have studied in Da Teng Public School for six years, and my dream is to become a teacher. If there are no accidents, my dream should be realized." Cui Zhongcheng recalled his past, with complicated emotions flowing in his eyes, He smiled guiltily and said, "I'm really ashamed. The council is too busy. More than ten years have passed, and this is the first time I've returned to my alma mater."

"Accident?" Gu Shen asked cautiously.

"At that time, my mother, who raised me alone, was seriously ill and needed a lot of money. Huazhi Group was hiring talents with high salaries. Mr. Zhao took a fancy to me and gave me a good job. A sum of money." Cui Zhongzhong said lightly: "With this money, I can treat her illness and feed myself. Sometimes people need to bow their heads to reality. Ideals cannot be eaten or used as medicine. You I have read the file, the reason for joining the tribunal is because of money, right?"

Gu Shen was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Cui Zhongzhong said lightly: "Man dies for money, and birds die for food. No one in this world is a saint of asceticism. The missions of the tribunal are very dangerous. You can ask for anything. Now you can use It is a good thing that money satisfies you, maybe you will not look down on these vulgar things in the future..."

"I hope my mother-in-law and the little ones in the orphanage can live a better life." Gu Shen knew that since Mr. Cui asked to see him alone after the review, he would not just chat.

Only after passing the review will you have the opportunity to meet.

So now is the time to make your own conditions.

"This is not a problem." Cui Zhongzhong said calmly: "It is not easy for Granny Xu Ya of Chenguang Welfare Institute to train you. If she is willing to move to a big city, I will send someone to arrange it at any time. If she wants to stay in For Wulaoshan, I will directly allocate funds from the group, and the group can solve the educational resources, social security, and future employment of these children for them."

"..."

Gu Shen thought for a while, and said seriously: "Can the appropriation be directly charged to my card? I hope that Mr. Cui will not inform his mother-in-law about this matter... For those children, it is enough to ensure that the educational resources are sufficient. They can solve their own problems."

"Okay." Cui Zhongzhong still agreed neatly, "I will do as you say."

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Those children who grow up in remote mountains and remote areas often have perseverance and resilience that surpass their peers. I can't go back either.

"Is there anything else you want?"

Gu Shen thought about it for a long time this time.

He stopped in front of a lake with sparkling light, reflecting countless reflections of himself.

"I told my mother-in-law that I work in a research institute, and that you need your help to smooth things over and let her believe it." Gu Shen said slowly, "It shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Don't worry," Cui Zhongzhong said lightly, "I will make your research institute resume more real than a real researcher."

Having received this promise, Gu Shen heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Cui, I want to ask about the next mission." He said seriously: "I have experienced the A-009 incident, and I know what extraordinary missions mean..."

In the future, I will deal with many dangerous people, including out-of-control people, sealed items, and there should be many extraordinary phenomena that cannot be explained by science.

"You will leave Qinghe District for a while."

Cui Zhongzhong stood beside Gu Shen, he looked at the thousands of silhouettes in the lake, and said softly: "There is a task for you... It's not as dangerous as you imagined, it's about dealing with 'normal people'. Of course, It’s never easy either.”

"Sometimes normal people are scarier than out-of-control people."

Gu Shen laughed at himself.

Everyone thinks that A-009 is a scourge, but only he knows that this tall lady is at least gentle to herself.

On the contrary, the two unknown transcendents who burned down the building in the fire case were cruel and resentful.

"Finally, I have one more request...I don't want the fire case to be overturned or forgotten by everyone."

The ripples in the lake dissipated and returned to a smooth mirror surface, reflecting the calm face of the young man: "This turmoil was caused by the amnesty order, and those who assassinated me were clearly organized and premeditated. I cannot forgive the behind-the-scenes What he did, he took innocent lives and escaped justice."
