Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

This is the meeting hall of Diaoyutai Building No. 18.

Huge Chinese paintings swallow mountains and rivers, and the big red carpet is solemn and solemn. It has appeared on TV many times, the exchanges between Chinese and foreign heads of state, and the talks that shake the world. There are too many stories here.

Today, in the huge hall, there are conversations that are not known to the world. There are three participants and two interlocutors. Only a few people know that today's conversation will set a tone.

And completely change China and even the world's pattern of extraordinary people.

Colonel Tian looked solemnly and solemnly, looking at Kant, who was too young.

Not as old as his son.

But you can sit here and discuss the most important things with yourself, who represents the will of the country.

Because certain things have already happened, and certain things are about to happen, the social pattern that has been stable for thousands of years, developed over hundreds of years, and built over decades has come to the crossroads of change.

And he was appointed by the central government, came to contact Kant, and brought the will and proposal of the country.

Talk to the world's most powerful psychic about the... future of this country and the new group.

"How to manage, guide and coordinate the ever-growing group of extraordinary people, so that they can live in harmony with the vast majority of ordinary people, and on the premise of ensuring the safety of the latter's life, personal dignity, and freedom and equality, let the extraordinary people live in Find your place in the cause of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

Colonel Tian emphasized it again and said sincerely: "Perhaps this is official and false to you, but this is what the elders care about... Whether they are extraordinary or ordinary people, they are all our citizens, all As part of the Chinese nation, we are responsible to everyone."

Opposite Kant pondered, organizing language.

Colonel Tian was patiently silent.

In the many negotiations with the controllers of the top forces in the other world, Kant has mastered many negotiation skills - no, maybe not skills, just some kind of confidence and habits.

That is, the initiative should be in my hands.

He did not directly answer the other party's question, but pondered: "In the battle of Moyani, I fought with a group of extraordinary people with a government background in Fabaixi. I think you should all know the process and results."

Colonel Tian seemed to understand Kant's intention and nodded with a wry smile.

"They are well-equipped and have unique tactics. Their own abilities are combined with high-tech weapons and props designed for them, and they have exerted their abilities far superior to the conventional army. They are well-trained, they are good at cooperation, and they are a On the whole, everyone has their own positioning and specialties, and I think in the right battlefield, the role played by this force of abilities should be far better than that of a special force."

Kant said calmly: "It happened that the country also sent an extraordinary person to help me that time. I have a relationship with those two. The man uses a weapon similar to hydraulic gloves, and the woman is carrying a bag. Bottles and cans, the flame elements are sprayed around, I am afraid it is high-energy fuel or even metal."

"I think this should be the general policy of all countries for the cultivation and use of superhumans. With the top industrial capabilities and scientific research capabilities of modern society as technical and equipment support, so that superhumans with weak abilities can also exert huge destructive power. , and even train and train a group of weak superhumans to make them a complete combat unit, making up for the lack of personal quality and emphasizing the power of teamwork."

Colonel Tian nodded lightly and sighed silently.

"I wanted to understand this at the time. This should be the tacit understanding adopted by the countries for the extraordinary, monitoring the weak and harmless, and incorporating the potential or powerful into the system."

"Then prepare an evolution plan for the latter... oh, a strengthening plan."

Kant shook his finger: "Of course, under the vigorous cultivation of the state machinery and resources, weak superhumans can also rely on external forces to obtain powerful combat capabilities in a short period of time, but this combat power is after all a foreign object, once the logistics of the state machinery are lost. Support, without the replenishment of materials and equipment, their combat effectiveness will soon drop to dust, and the relevant departments will suppress, contain and execute them, and the difficulty will be greatly reduced."

"And when the country sets the strengthening route, it is already thinking about how to control them... Policies, welfare, care, and meticulous care, they will become giant babies, national housing, national car, national package distribution, five insurances and one housing fund. , various benefits, they will gradually get lost in the so-called privileges and benefits, they will be domesticated into a state where everything is decided by the state, and they will believe everything..."

The Fire Robber's expression became meaningful.

"Including exercise direction and strengthening ideas."

"Their ingenuity and accumulation of knowledge are not sufficient to dispute the jargon of scientists, and certainly do not know that their reinforcement routes are designed, perhaps efficient, but hide fatal loopholes as they spiral out of control. countermeasures.”

He looked at Colonel Tian opposite and said slowly: "This means that the superhumans trained and controlled by national power have great flaws. They may be unfavorable in certain situations and battlefields, but if they encounter a real Powerful transcendents, they are vulnerable."

"Will be killed like a dog."

"That's what you see in Moyani."

The meeting room was silent.

After a while, Colonel Tian sighed: "You are an unexpected surprise, we still don't know how you have grown to this point, but we have to admit painfully that your appearance has broken the balance that has always been there. , plucked the most terrifying string in the hearts of all heads of state."

"—The extraordinary who is not controlled by the state, but is powerful enough to make the state machine throw the rat's trap, and is helpless, has appeared."

He looked at Kant.

Kant looked at him too.

The two were silent.

That's the biggest problem.

In addition to the ordinary people who held the sword of the common man and were conquered by the state, someone raised the sword of the emperor.

Colonel Tian, ​​who has been working in the system for decades, carefully pondered Kant's thoughts.

But he had no idea what Kant was thinking anyway.

Kant was thinking - good praise, a few more words, cool.

After a while, Colonel Tian said with a wry smile: "You may be critical of the country's actions, but..."

Kant spread his hands and said, "No."

Colonel Tian was stunned for a moment, showing disbelief.

Kant saw the doubt in his eyes at a glance, and smiled: "Do I have to lie?"

Hearing this, the other party smiled helplessly: "That's true."

The will of the state sits in front of him openly and honestly and treats each other as equals, and he also fully understands his power and deterrence. What reason does he have to lie to cover up his true thoughts?

In any case, Colonel Tian was relieved, and said softly: "I thought you would have some criticisms about the way the country controls the extraordinary, after all, you are also one of them..."

Kant wondered: "Wait, you don't want to control me like this, do you?"

Colonel Tian said with a wry smile: "There is one thing to say, it is true, but what can I do, I am powerless."

Rather frank.

Kant laughed: "Isn't this the end, I have nothing in the rain, it's none of my business."

The colonel doesn't seem to have turned the corner: "You too..."

Kant shook his head, took out something from his pocket, it was a card, he pointed to the back: "Did you see it? These two lines, the resident ID card of the People's Republic of China."

Turning to the front again: "Have you seen it? Nationality, Han."

He shook his ID card: "You seem to have misunderstood me. You think that my personality has changed drastically, that I regard humans as ants, that I am ruthless, and that I am the only one. There is no such thing."

"I am from the earth, I am Chinese, and I am from the Han nationality. The foundation of my three views of temperament was laid in my childhood and adolescence. At that time, I did not have the awakening power."

"I have a high sense of identity with my nation, country and political party, and believe that personal honor and disgrace are closely related to the rise and fall of the country. I yearn for justice but hate injustice, I delight in kindness and despise evil, and the stencil on my mind comes from ignorant childhood. To learn and remember is to study for the rise of China, not to do to others what one would not want to do to oneself, to have the seeds of princes and generals, to travel on the great road, and to serve the world for the common good.”

"I am like this, you are like this, people in this country are like this."

He took the ID card back: "I don't know if you understand - in short, I don't want to have two ID cards, and I don't want my nationality column to become 'superpower' or something, I still Looking at many things from a Chinese perspective, it will definitely be the same in the future."

"So, about the management and control of superhumans, I will only say one thing."

Kant looked at the soldier on the opposite side with a calm and frank expression: "I have always supported gun ban."

Colonel Tian listened quietly, obviously, his micro-expression was constantly changing, surprised, hesitant, disbelieving... He had never expected such an answer.

Subconsciously, he looked at Qin Mengjin who was standing behind Kant.

Sister Qin nodded slightly to him.

Kant's voice sounded again: "Why, don't you believe me?"

"If you keep this mentality, it's really good news for Tianda." President Tian Da breathed a long sigh, "It's not that you don't believe in you... But people's hearts are changeable, and it's too difficult to believe."

Kant raised his eyebrows and said, "Where does this come from?"

Colonel Tian sighed and changed the subject: "What do you think about the six extraordinary people?"

Kant thought for a while and replied: "The three PLA are okay, the remaining three are superficial, weak, pompous, dazed, like ordinary people who got rich overnight and are on the brink of danger."

"…well said."

The high-ranking official from the Military Commission said softly: "Any power users noticed by the relevant departments will be brought under our control, and those with obvious destructive power and special abilities will be forcibly incorporated into the system, and we will give them to them. There are two options, one is to join the army, and the other is to enter the civil service establishment."

Kant smiled and said, "Give me a choice?"

"Strong melons are not sweet, the army may not be suitable for everyone, and we don't want to put too many smoky things in." Colonel Tian gave a wry smile, "Okay, don't look at me like that, there are political considerations, here. I won't go into details—but you see it as a result."

Kant nodded: "The mental outlook is very different."

"There's also a general slide in discipline, thought and behavior."

Colonel Tian said: "This is a topic that we have been worrying about all the time. People will always change. It is impossible for us to put all extraordinary people into the army. Coercive measures are often counterproductive, but without strong discipline, scientific The tempering of the sense of organization and collective honor, those extraordinary people who work in nonviolent institutions and cooperate with research, change at an unsettling rate..."

A cold gleam flashed in Kant's eyes: "Doing evil and harming innocents?"

"I haven't reached that step... This is the bottom line, and we won't tolerate it." Colonel Tian said here, with a wry smile, "If that's the case, then it's better to say, how to judge, what should be closed, and what should be killed. Killing, it should be harmless... The most difficult thing to do is often not a crime."

"-How to say?"

"The Su Qingmo who provoked you, his original name was Su Zhuangzhuang, before the age of seventeen, the most ordinary student, autistic by nature, withdrawn, unpopular, suffered mild school bullying, a little low self-esteem, and then he awakened his ability , was invited to join the 507 Institute, and it has been five years now."

Kant heard the words and asked: "I can't see it, it looks full."

Colonel Tian asked suspiciously, "Charging now?"

Qin Mengjin immediately explained: "The Internet term refers to the kind of successful people who are extremely fulfilled in real life. In the Internet connotation of the term, it refers to men who are very good at hooking up with girls, who often go to bars and nightclubs, and frequently change girlfriends. With a partner, very good at getting along with women, very popular..."

"Oh, so, ashamed, an old guy like me doesn't understand the culture of young people."

Colonel Tian laughed and laughed at himself.

"Well, he is charging now." He immediately grasped the Internet term, "Just like you."

Immediately afterward, the high-ranking man seemed to be proud of his understanding of the new culture and mingled with young people, and said with a smile, "Haha."

—WDNMD!

Kant's expression remained unchanged, and his heart almost erupted.

Qin Mengjin almost laughed out loud, she hurriedly winked at Colonel Tian, ​​what kind of person, although he didn't know what he said wrong, he immediately changed the subject.

"Did you know? When I was just invited to join the 507 Institute, I met Su Zhuangzhuang. He was silent and introverted, very polite, and would say thank you to all the staff. He accepted the invitation without hesitation and worked hard to cooperate with everything. , he is excited about this, feels extremely honored and happy, because this is a contribution to the country, he is like a superhero in TV and novels, kind, honest, enthusiastic, simple."

"Then he slowly changed."

"After about half a year, the thank yous from his mouth became less and less, and he slowly began to take the staff's service and care for him for granted. He gradually felt that his position in the 507 Institute was unshakable, and he could not bear the boring life. , and began to set his sights on the colorful urban life."

"He changed his name, he changed his appearance, he went into and out of nightclubs with a huge salary that he couldn't spend, and gradually changed from a restrained and silent child to an experienced hunter. Soon he was not satisfied with this and began to use him Unique abilities and background in working in secret government departments to achieve more."

"Usually not disciplinary, because he does not reveal his identity and work department, but you know, just through some hints and details, you can make smart people aware of his mysterious background, and there are especially smart people in the imperial capital. , he cleverly used the resources he had, recognized more high-end people, mingled with them, and used his abilities more and more often - usually with women, especially in bed..."

Kant said coldly, "Bastard!"

Colonel Tian was shocked.

—Fuck, so jealous? You are suitable for the Commission for Discipline Inspection, little comrade.

He talked about another person.

"Li Xiaojie is that fashionable and beautiful young woman. She was originally a very ordinary girl. She was beautiful in dress, with ordinary family conditions, ordinary studies and ordinary hobbies. Her normal life would be in an ordinary second-class school. Graduate, find an ordinary job, marry an ordinary person..."

"And then she also gained abilities."

Kant thought of the person's jeweled appearance: "Then she started to buy, buy, buy?"

"...Yes, when she first joined the system, she was also cautious, well-behaved, and polite. After a while, she took everything for granted, but her desire continued to expand."

"Buy a lot of luxury goods, spend a lot of money, and make a list for her idol - I know the word is because of her. Her desire for comparison and materialism has continued to expand over time, and it has grown to the point that she wants to sell to all the rich people in the country. The second generation is on par, so that the generous salary cannot support her expenses."

Having said this, Colonel Tian shook his head: "So she started taking small loans."

"..." Kande said in a subtle tone, "Grass."

"She borrowed a lot of money, and after it expired, no company dared to ask her to charge her. If her family was harassed by phone calls, she would go to the department to give opinions and cry, and those irregular platforms immediately She admitted defeat and disappeared. The regular bank stopped her credit extension and closed her account. She also went to ask the department to help her solve it, and then asked for a salary increase.

Kant is already the face of the old man in the subway looking at his mobile phone.

He wondered: "Why don't you put a sack on and let her figure out the situation? What about your Iron Fist of the People's Democratic Dictatorship? Crank her! Criticize her! Educate her!"

Colonel Tian sighed: "Compared to her ability and value, these are actually trivial things. It's not that we have no way to clean up her, but the above thinks that this is just the love of beauty of the little girl's family, and there is no need to make a big fuss, so Let the relevant departments give more education.”

"You also know that this is one of the disadvantages of the big government's work. As long as the top thinks that it is not necessary to go on the line, then the bottom must swallow it."

Kant was thoughtful—he had probably guessed what the government was trying to do with him.

"But we finally had a conflict with Li Xiaojie - the idol she liked encountered some objections on the Internet some time ago. She insisted that it was a purposeful persecution and smear, and asked the relevant departments to use administrative means to interfere and protect Her idol, after being rejected, made a lot of noise."

Colonel Tian shook his head and said, "Finally, the front-line departments know the importance. Paying back a little loan and solving some illegal fund-raising platforms are just trivial matters, but interfering with public opinion platforms is another matter."

"They reported the problem, which finally attracted dissatisfaction and attention from above. The matter was characterized as an extraordinary person trying to interfere with the public opinion environment. We specially selected a group of extraordinary people from the Armed Police Force, went to her department, and sent a message to her. Formal stern warning."

"It was only then that she realized the seriousness of the problem, and she gave up aggrievedly. Oh, this matter also caused her idol to hang up a bit. That's another topic."

Kant tutted: "Wonderful, wonderful."

"But it's not over yet." Tian University's tone became serious. "The most disturbing thing happened - although Li Xiaojie died, but what she revealed was not that she did something wrong."

"It's that she doesn't think she's strong enough to protect her brother."

Kant showed a look of disgust: "Who are these people?"

"They are all ordinary mortals with too heavy power - people who get rich overnight have a big change in their minds, let alone this one?"

Colonel Tian sighed, "It's the same with Li Xiaojie. What's wrong with Aimei? There's nothing wrong with chasing stars, but if she has the ability to exert influence and get money, that's another story."

"Like Su Zhuangzhuang, she was an ordinary person who was cautious, polite and enthusiastic at the beginning, but with changes in status, vision, and experience, they gradually became like this..."

He looked at Kant: "Li Xiaojie has touched our bottom line, because she has an idea - she wants to rewrite the rules through powerful force."

"This is something we cannot tolerate."

"Today she wants to force the relevant departments to interfere in public opinion to help her idol, and tomorrow she will ask the Internet department for the real information of those who scold her or scold her idol, and the day after tomorrow, the personal information of these people will be made public. Maybe teach these people personally."

Colonel Tian's tone became solemn: "This is intolerable."

"I probably understand." Kant asked, "Aren't all supernatural beings like bears?"

"This is not the case. The few sent today are more or less thorns with problems."

Facing Kant's half-smiling eyes, Colonel Tian said softly: "But it has become a more serious problem... In the face of the prosperous commodity economy and cross-current material desires, it is difficult for us to restrain these non-military troops through ideological education and moral education. Extraordinary people in the background, especially when they are a little cunningly approaching the bottom line but not touching the bottom line, it is not good for us to take too drastic measures."

He hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Even if it is a superhuman in the army, there are more or less problems."

"Um?"

"Our soldiers are good sons and daughters who join the army to serve the country. They were originally ordinary people. Although they have the discipline and organization of the army, they are not war machines. They are also ordinary people with flesh and blood. Anger has its own desires."

Colonel Tian's sigh was much more today.

This is a problem they have been suffering from, and there is no solution to it.

"We are the People's Army, our children and soldiers are not consumables that are thrown away when they are worn out. We hope that they will be fine from now to the future, but we cannot interfere with some psychological problems, we are difficult to guide some ideological problems, and we have some personal problems. Not a good solution."

Kant mused: "It doesn't sound easy."

The other party shook his head and said, "It's not easy... It's difficult for people to manage, let alone people with supernatural abilities."

"Then..." Kant rested his elbows on the table, "I think you brought these thorns to see me on purpose, and talking to me here is definitely not just for complaining."

"Yes."

Tian Dazheng said: "Comrade Kant, your appearance has shown us a certain way of solving the problem, and it has also prompted the elders to make a certain determination."

Kant was intrigued.

He had thought of it long ago, and was very happy - because he smelled the exchange of interests.

It's good, how can you not be happy.

"What idea?"

"It's the scene we just saw." Colonel Tian said, "Those supernatural beings who are pretentious and consider themselves to be the favored sons of heaven... You can form absolute pressure on them, make them fear, make them afraid, make them They realize that there are days beyond."

Kant's expression changed slightly.

He straightened up: "You want me to be a deterrent and a constrictor of Chinese superhumans? No, my family is not supernatural, and this will put them in danger."

Colonel Tian waved his hand: "Please don't get excited, we don't mean that. There are a lot of extraordinary people in China. We can't gather these people together and call you over to beat them."

"Oh, what does the country mean?"

The spokesperson who came on behalf of the will of the country calmly said: "We need to moderately untie the ability restrictions on superpowers and increase their personal strength and development ceiling."

"We want to set up a law enforcement and supervision department for superhumans. On the basis of unlocking the general ability restrictions, we will further increase the development ceiling and personal strength of members of this special department, so that they can form a combat advantage over ordinary superhumans. Maintain deterrence."

"Finally we would like to invite you to teach and train members of this special department."

"And...become a sword to deter them."

"When you let this double-edged sword corrupt, degenerate, and even betrayed for various reasons, and try to cut the user and harm innocent people, you will be thought of."

"Think of someone who is always watching them who they can't defeat no matter what, and who will find them and kill them if they dare to betray the people."

He looked at Kant with a sincere and solemn expression.

There was even a hint of helplessness and sighing.

Because this deterrent chain is not perfect, but some kind of helpless compromise.

But it is the best result.

"They're here to deter the entire Transcendent group, and you're here to deter them."

He stood up and bowed slightly to Kant.

"This is the best solution."

"Untie the shackles of the extraordinary to a certain extent, so that we will not fall behind the West with low human rights advantages, introduce special departments to supervise, prevent possible threats, and maximize the protection of the safety of life, property and personal dignity of the general public, it is up to you To complete the final deterrence and ensure that our nation can move forward in an orderly and steady manner in this era of drastic change...this is our proposal."

Kant sat upright and his expression became solemn.

"Then." He looked directly at the other party and asked sternly, "Who will deter me?"

Do not ask clearly, I do not worry.
