Chapter 608 News from Two Worlds

At the beginning, Lu Xuanyu didn't even believe that a big capitalist like Xiang Shan had time to look at the self-media he ran.

But after a few weeks of getting along, Lu Xuanyu began to feel that he and Xiang Shan might be friends.

Xiangshan has no airs and speaks very casually. But others would not think there was anything disrespectful about him.

He would clarify the interests of Lu Xuanyu at various times and always consider Lu Xuanyu's own safety. He will also respect Lu Xuanyu's pursuit.

At least, Lu Xuanyu believed that Xiangshan who was talking to him was "sincere".

Furthermore, to put it another way, Lu Xuanyu wouldn't be able to become Xiang Shan's friend. But Xiang Shan also said before that Lu Xuanyu is now one of the most important projects of their company.

On the day Lu Xuanyu came to Peiping, Xiang Shan personally came to take Lu Xuanyu around the medical center.

From this perspective, Xiang Shan should also come to visit Lu Xuanyu when he wakes up.

Lu Xuanyu even saw several media interviewing outside the ward today.

According to Xiang Shan's approach, it is normal for him to expand his influence at this time.

Florence was stunned for a moment: "Oh, right. I forgot to mention it. After observing signs of your awakening, I notified the boss. The boss asked me to convey my congratulations to you."

Lu Xuanyu felt that these words were somewhat insincere. Ms. Florence is a very careful person, and he does not think that Ms. Florence will forget her boss’s instructions.

He asked: "Um... is Mr. Xiang dealing with something?"

"It's a little unexpected." Florence said, "It's not a good thing. But it's not about the company, it's...his personal affairs. The boss should be over there in Africa now."

"Private matters..." Lu Xuanyu scratched his head. It was hard for him to imagine that there was any "private matter" that could disrupt a big capitalist like Xiang Shan. He even didn't understand what "private affairs" Xiangshan could have in Africa.

But Ms. Florence didn’t seem to want to talk about it. She felt that it was impolite to discuss Xiang Shan's personal affairs.

Lu Xuanyu learned about the matter from the news a few days later.

People of Xiangshan and Yawgmoth's level must be watched by a lot of media. Unless they deliberately control relevant information, every move they make in public can become valuable material for the media.

The news is not very long. mentioned in this news. Several core members of the Superman Enterprise, including Xiangshan and Yawgmoth, attended the memorial service of a linguist, and Xiangshan personally delivered the eulogy.

The linguist died during some unrest in Africa. I don't know why, but he has a history with so many powerful people.

Many media outlets are staring at the deceased linguist, hoping to dig up some gossip about the big shot.

Lu Xuanyu jumped through the "related links" several times before finding the cause of the linguist's death.

While Lu Xuanyu was in a coma, Africa was once again in turmoil. This time, a war broke out in a small country.

The cause of the war is puzzling.

This small African country became a European colony two hundred years ago. Two hundred years ago, the aborigines only knew "tribes" and "villages." But the Europeans brought with them a piece of continental junk they invented—a concept called “nation.” The colonists followed their experience and registered the Aboriginal people as two different peoples.

The basis for division is nothing more than some concepts similar to "face recognition" - such as the distance between the eyes and the height of the bridge of the nose.

When these two "ethnic groups" were first registered, there wasn't much difference between them. Even some people who were related by blood were distinguished by subtle differences in appearance.

However, as time went by, the two "nations" accumulated huge conflicts.

And the conflict develops into hatred.

In that country, every adult is educating children that those with eyebrows and noses that are different from ours are not human beings, but demons without blood or tears.

Their language even changed. Although the two peoples spoke the same language a hundred years ago, today, the language they speak is almost distorted into two systems.

Eventually, they began to kill each other - even though the two "nations" only existed for a little over a hundred years.

The linguist was doing fieldwork in that country. In fact, he didn't have to be involved in such an incident. He lives not far from United Nations peacekeeping forces. He originally only did research in refugee camps run by the United Nations.

However, this linguist overestimated his ability and wanted to protect a group of children. Eventually, he died from a stray bullet.

The news mentioned that the linguist’s will was to donate his body to scientific research.

Lu Xuanyu flipped through the news again. The donation was indeed made to Transhumanist International.

"This little day..." Lu Xuanyu glanced at the linguist's photo and said, "The Japanese who lived a good life are still a man."

Lu Xuanyu felt that he might not be able to make the same decision in a different place.

No... maybe the person I am now is not as good as the person I was a few years ago. After a close encounter with an overloaded truck, he no longer had the boundless courage of his youth.

But according to the news, the linguist has been in the war-torn area.

This is probably not the first time he has faced life-threatening danger.

"Speaking of which, are the UN peacekeeping forces just a show-off?" Lu Xuanyu said in a casual way, slandering the peacekeeping forces.

More than ten years ago...in 2028 or 29, social unrest broke out in any country in Southeast Asia. At that time, the peacekeeping troops maintained local social stability neatly.

But now, an even more appalling tragedy has broken out in that African country.

Although the unrest in that African country lasted only a few days, the events of these few days dominated the news for weeks.

"Mr. Xiang must be feeling very sad." Lu Xuanyu muttered, "If he really has had a relationship with that linguist for more than ten years."

The country turned into purgatory and the civilized society here seem to be in two different worlds.

Tragedies continue to happen over there, but people here are still exploring the personal relationship between an unknown deceased person and some wealthy people.

If the deceased had not happened to die in that country, the "two worlds" would not seem to have any connection.

Lu Xuanyu didn't even remember the name of that country.

Xiang Shan didn't appear again until Lu Xuanyu started rehabilitation training.

Lu Xuanyu felt that Xiang Shan did have a heavy aura about him.

Xiang Shan said: "Congratulations on completing the genetic modification surgery, Mr. Lu."

The prototype of this event is the Rwandan genocide, which originally broke out in the 1990s.

In addition, the science fiction novel "Undifferentiated Engine" based on this incident is my favorite science fiction novel. This novel draws on the tradition of Japanese private novels and writes about the "private experience" of the Rwandan Genocide from a very personal perspective. It is precisely because of the influence of this novel that a Japanese appeared in this incident. I recommend everyone to read this novel.
