Darkness is Coming

   When Huang Kaijing received an invitation from Qi Lie to go out for supper together in the Golden Peacock Hotel, he agreed without hesitation, because he was really hungry. But now when he saw the "deliciousness" on the table, Huang Kaijing lost his appetite.

   "Hey boy, what are you thinking?"

   Qi Lie's rough voice made Huang Kaijing raise his head, his eyes shifted from the supper on the dining table to Qi Lie's face full of vicissitudes.

   "Qi team, I'm not thinking about anything, I just..." Huang Kaijing pointed the tableware in his hand to a plate of dark dishes covered with sauce, and sighed, "Qi team, this is mouse meat."

"Hehe, Africa is poor, especially Malawi. Compared with the poor brothers and sisters around it, it is considered a poor place. You may not go out for a walk. If you go outside, you will find that there are people eating voles and selling voles on the streets. "Qi Lie grabbed a skewer with a smile, with a few roasted mice strung on the wooden stick, "I'm on a business trip now, the conditions are a bit more difficult, but it's still much better than when we were in Yuanjiang. Let's take a moment. You see, this one is called 'Kakupu'. It is smaller than ordinary mice, more sensitive, and tastes better. It looks a bit disgusting, but it tastes really good. Doesn't the region also eat some strange things, come, try it?"

  Huang Kaijing is not a hypocritical person, so he did not refuse.

After cutting a small piece of rat meat with a dining knife and putting it in his mouth, Huang Kaijing shook his head and said, "Qi team, I'm not talking about this. I was thinking that we are now in the center of the capital of Malawi and ask to eat local specialties. , but there is rat meat on our table. You can imagine how poor this place in Malawi is.”

"This, eating rat meat can help residents to add a good food that can be seen everywhere, and secondly, it can reduce the damage of rats to planting grains, so the commercialization of rat meat by the Malawi government does not mean that the Malawi people are poor. The guide arranged for Huang Kaijing in Malawi explained with a smile that he knew that Huang Kaijing is now a first-class star in China, so he tried his best to leave a good impression on Huang Kaijing and win the opportunity to attract investment.

   The more truly poor a place is, the more reluctant it is to admit its own poverty.

"In the end, the purpose of bringing mice to the dining table is to alleviate the problem of food shortage." Huang Kaijing ignored the guide and still looked at Qi Lie and said, "Millions of people here are living in hunger and cold. Many people starved to death and died of illness, and in many places, countless amounts of food were wasted and destroyed every day.

"It's pointless for you to say this." Qi Lie interrupted Huang Kaijing's words, raised his glass and smiled, "Come on, toast to today's victory, don't think about these things, not even the poverty problem in remote areas of the country. Solve, what do you want to do with this?"

"How should I put it, the reason for such a situation is that in the final analysis, the uneven distribution of resources and economic benefits are at work." Huang Kaijing said with a serious face, "It is possible that disasters will continue, and we must integrate all forces to deal with the crisis. This phenomenon It may be contained, it may intensify, you say, shouldn't we do something? If there was a strong enough unity that distributed all resources fairly, this would not happen. Only all human beings can unite Consistently, using resources appropriately in the most correct way, we can survive future crises, right?"

   Qi Lie didn't say anything, and exchanged glances with Qi Xinwu who was sitting beside him.

Qi Xinwu let out a sneer, and spoke for the first time since sitting at the dining table: "Please don't say such things to anyone in the future, it will have a bad influence on your President Yang and all of us awakened people, this world It's more complicated than you might think, and a lot of things are not taken for granted."

Huang Kaijing really wanted to reply to him, "At least I dare to think and ask questions", but after thinking about it, it is a taboo to speak shallowly, and he is now bearing the brand of President Yang, saying those words to Liu Yuanzhou's confidant, It is really not suitable. If it falls into the ears of interested people, it will inevitably make a big fuss.

   So Huang Kaijing swallowed the words that came into his throat together with the rat meat in his mouth.

   As this small-scale celebration feast was about to break up, an unexpected phone call came in.

  Huang Kaijing replied with an apologetic smile, got up and left the table, walked to the distance to answer the phone, only listened for half a minute, then his face changed greatly, hurried back to the table, put his hands on the table and said, "The ruling captain Xu has an accident!"

   Qi's uncle and nephew's reaction was unexpected, Qi Lie ate roasted mice in silence, Qi Xinwu looked up at Huang Kaijing calmly, and stretched out his hand to signal Huang Kaijing to sit down.

   "You, you already knew?" Huang Kaijing figured out the context, and his face became even more ugly, "You invited me to have a late-night snack because you deliberately asked me to leave the Golden Peacock Hotel so that I couldn't stop Xu Le?"

Qi Lie still didn't respond, Qi Xinwu took a napkin and wiped his mouth, and replied without emotion: "No matter if you were at the Golden Peacock Hotel or not before, you couldn't stop Xu Le. Please come for supper, just don't want to. Just to get you involved in this."

  Huang Kaijing gritted his teeth and asked, "Why?"

   "Some things don't have a reason." Qi Xinwu stood up, "There are some things you don't need to know why."

   "You are not reporting the information, and you are delaying the military aircraft. I can send you to the Court of the Awakened!" Huang Kaijing turned his right hand into the palm and slapped the table hard. The soup splashed on the tablecloth, mottled like a torn face.

   "You are free." Qi Xinwu waved his hand nonchalantly, "I still have something to do, farewell."

After   , Qi Xin and I left without looking back. Huang Kaijing was about to set off to chase, but was stopped by Qi Lie.

"Mr. Qi." Huang Kaijing changed his name to Qi Lie with a cold face, "Captain Xu is a member of the Yuanjiao Association, and you are members of the Nineteenth Bureau. You knew about it, but you didn't report it, and you held me back. Should you give me an explanation?"

"There is definitely a reason, but it's for President Yang, not for you." Qi Lie patted Huang Kaijing on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "If you insist on asking why, then I can only say, oh, In the words of your President Yang, because madness will surely destroy people."

   At 12:20 a.m. local time and 6:20 a.m. Beijing time, a video was uploaded to the Internet and quickly spread all over the world through major social software.

   In the video, an Asian man covered in blood is standing in a dilapidated house with corpses under his feet, all the elderly and children who were slaughtered.

   Outside the house you can see a line inscribed in Chinyanja (the language spoken by the Malawians): Shelter.
