"Why, you want to become a teacher."

Both Luo Qiu and Teacher Pulin seemed to have forgotten the topic of gifts. After they listened quietly to the resident singer singing a bluesy tune, Luo Qiu asked the question again.

"It always feels like you are a reporter and I am doing the interview." Teacher Pulin couldn't help but laugh.

Luo Qiu also smiled, with what Teacher Pulin said before, a beautiful smile... He replied: "There is someone in the family who is indeed a reporter."

"This is the first time you have disclosed family information to me." Teacher Pulin smiled and said, "Does this mean that as a student, you have begun to trust me as a teacher?"

Luo Qiu shook his head and said immediately: "Do you like...the feeling of being trusted?"

Pulin: To be honest, no one dislikes being trusted by others... Trust represents need, and being needed can easily make people satisfied - what happens after being satisfied?

He didn't say.

Luo Qiu did not continue to ask.

…

Teacher Pulin answered the previous question: "Actually, for a long time, I didn't know what I should do... It wasn't necessarily the career of a teacher. In fact, I learned everything very quickly, really. Soon, I became a teacher just because I happened to be looking for this job."

"Because of Professor Xie Jiatu's sudden disappearance?" Luo Qiu asked curiously.

Teacher Pulin thought for a while and then said slowly: "I see that Claudia seems to care about you very much...well, and the female classmate who asked for leave today. She probably told you, Professor Xie Jiatu's matter."

Boss Luo nodded.

Teacher Pulin continued: "Claudia was suddenly transferred from the Department of Mathematics after I took office. Although it was only a second degree course, her degree of hard work is indeed rarely seen... She always I feel that I may have some special connection with the disappearance of Professor Xie Jiatu."

"Has she talked to you about this matter in person?"

Teacher Pulin shook his head and said: "That's not true, but I can feel that she is suspicious of me... After all, I do seem a bit mysterious to her. You see, I actually have no friends here, not even colleagues. There is very little communication between us. Even on this occasion, if it hadn’t been for your invitation, it might be difficult for me to find a chance to come in in the future... I said, I will bring death - just like you This is the shadow I saw."

The phantom of the soul drawn out of the man's body by Teacher Pulin was still floating beside him - only then did Teacher Pulin send the phantom back to the man's body.

He shook his head and said: "It is sometimes difficult for me to control this ability. When my mood swings are relatively large, it is also the most dangerous time, so I rarely communicate with others."

"I'm honored that the teacher can tell me so many things...So, you don't know anything about Professor Xie Jiatu, right?"

Teacher Pulin thought for a while and said, "Yes, I have never even met this Professor Xie Jiatu, and I don't know why he disappeared... What I know about him is probably that I inherited some of the lesson plans he left behind. Hmm...some of his views on theology are actually quite interesting. For example, his understanding of [Trinity] is [past], [present] and [future]. Claudia discussed this view in class She has mentioned it before, but I think this view is not something she came up with on her own, but she read some materials left by Professor Xie Jiatu or something like that."

Luo Qiu nodded. At this time, he was convinced that there was no relationship between Teacher Pulin and Professor Xie Jiatu. He didn't need to investigate this matter specifically. He could feel that Teacher Pulin was not involved in this matter. Is there something hidden in the matter?

"You seem to be quite interested in [Trinity]?" Teacher Pulin seemed to be keenly aware of something, and looked at it with some profound meaning.

Luo Qiu just shook his head slightly and said ambiguously: "I don't have any clue at the moment...but maybe a certain idea has already occurred to me inadvertently."

Teacher Pulin suddenly became confused, but asked patiently: "You seem to have encountered some trouble."

Luo Qiu said calmly: "For the time being, it doesn't seem to be a particularly serious matter... Well, judging from the known conditions for the time being."

Teacher Pulin thought for a while, then nodded and said: "You give me a feeling that everything can be solved...So, I believe you won't be worried for too long, and even...you are actually enjoying what you are doing now." This kind of confusion?"

Luo Qiu looked up at him and asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"

Teacher Pulin smiled and said: "Your expression does not look like you are worried at all. It is more like someone who likes to solve puzzles and has encountered a new puzzle."

Boss Luo shook his head, "You said it was too scary for me."

Teacher Pulin said lightly: "Actually, you know it yourself."

Boss Luo asked back: "Just like you, you know it yourself?"

Teacher Pulin said softly: "Yes."

…

Later, another group of people came to the bar, including Uncle Peake, an old man wearing a Scottish skirt, as well as the police chief and another police officer who were off duty.

Uncle Peake obviously didn't notice that sitting in the corner was a young man who happened to be in front of Mr. Smith's restaurant in the evening. He led the people to find a table and sat down very familiarly.

The bartender came up to say hello, and Uncle Pique said just follow the old rules.

This elderly man seems to be full of energy. Most young people in the bar look preoccupied or indulgently, but the old man looks like he is enjoying life.

He is actually not young anymore, and his life is counting down... He may know this, or he may not care about it.

Uncle Pique had a good drinking capacity and drank a large glass of beer in one gulp...the 1-liter bottle. The people sitting next to him applauded. Then Uncle Pique probably got into the mood and asked the bar owner to take some beer. The mouth organ came and I ran to the stage to play with the resident band.

Boss Luo and Teacher Pulin looked away from Uncle Pique almost at the same time.

Teacher Pulin suddenly said quietly, "If possible, I don't want to take Mr. Peak away... However, he seems to have a little more time. Although I don't know what happened, it is good after all."

Luo Qiu thought for a while and said, "Will the teacher not take the other person away because he is reluctant to leave?"

"Those who have to leave always need to leave." Teacher Pulin shook his head and said: "This is like a fate...just like the issue of the three sirens we discussed this morning."

"Then why did the teacher keep Mr. Smith's family?" Boss Luo asked abruptly.

Teacher Pulin frowned and was silent, then looked at Luo Qiu suspiciously - Luo Qiu said calmly: "Teacher, we had dinner together in Mr. Smith's restaurant."

Teacher Pulin breathed out slowly, shook his head and said, "I don't want to talk about this matter. I didn't say that I was a fair person."

"It doesn't matter." Boss Luo said softly: "I obviously can't be absolutely impartial."

Teacher Pulin smiled slightly and suddenly said: "No... you may not know that you are probably more fair than you think... This is your essence, I can feel it, and my feeling is more fair than you think. Ordinary people are more perceptive. So, you can be more confident."

Luo Qiu couldn't help but frown... He was not confident. This was something that no one had ever mentioned to him.

The maid relies on him in everything, and the dark soul messengers in the store will never disobey him...even if they do, they cannot disobey him. Looking back, Luo Qiu found that there seemed to be nothing he could not do about what he wanted to do now - not confident?

"Actually, I have had such a time." Teacher Pulin said slowly: "From feeling that my power is getting stronger and stronger, and the influence is getting wider and wider, in the end, I have to seal this power..."

He raised his hands wearing white gloves and continued: "This power has surpassed human cognition. It brings me fear - I will be afraid that I will eventually be unable to control it, and ultimately cause uncontrollable consequences." The consequences of control. In fact, you are the same."

Boss Luo just smiled indifferently and was noncommittal.

Teacher Pulin sighed and said: "Before I settled down to teach here, I traveled to many countries and met many young people like you who had just gained strength. Most of them were like this. ...because they don’t know what they are going to do - after waiting for a power strong enough to meet all their previous needs, and after completing these needs in a short period of time, they become confused and uneasy, and then embark on the journey. The path of crime.”

Boss Luo opened his mouth... Probably due to occupational disease, this seminary teacher seemed to regard himself as the kind of young child who becomes confused after gaining great power.

He looked at Teacher Pulin curiously, "So, are you guiding them again?"

Teacher Pulin shrugged and said: "Some are easier to communicate with, and after the communication, they will gradually return to their original life trajectory. They will gradually understand that this sudden power is just a tool for life, not a The rulers who control their creatures - when they accept and fully master the power, the number of times they use the power will be less. Isn't this the case with humans, if things are too easy to obtain, the happiness will be lower... There is no happiness, It gets lost.”

Luo Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, have you ever met a lost person?"

Teacher Pulin affirmed: "Of course there are, and there are many... In fact, it is difficult for most of these people to return to their original life trajectory. Their thoughts have been dominated by power and they believe more in the laws of the jungle. ...In fact, this is a very ridiculous thing. There is nothing wrong with the law of the jungle, but the mistake lies in the view that strength is everything. To be honest, I don't like force theory... but young people prefer this."

Luo Qiu suddenly smiled.

Teacher Pulin asked curiously: "Is there something on my face?"

Boss Luo suddenly said: "Teacher, you are really suitable to continue to be a teacher... Maybe you don't know it yourself. What you say is that you just happened to come across this job. That's why you became a teacher. I like this profession of teaching.”

Teacher Pulin thought for a while, shook his head, and said noncommittally: "Maybe...but I'm not sure why I yearn for this career."

Boss Luo looked at the time at this time.

"It's getting late." Teacher Pulin saw the other party's intention to leave, so he simply said: "I'm glad you invited me in. This meal can be regarded as my invitation to you... As a teacher , it is better not to let students spend money. Even if you spend money, it will not be a condition for your subject credits."

Boss Luo couldn't help but smile.

Teacher Pulin put down the drink money on the table, then walked around the people who were attracted by Uncle Pique, and quietly left the bar... Boss Luo shook the cup in his hand gently, his eyes suddenly turned, and he looked at Mr. Somewhere in front of the table.

I saw a black cat squatting on the edge of the counter, looking at him quietly.

This was the black cat he saw in the back alley of Mr. Smith's restaurant... Boss Luo recognized it immediately.

"Can he still not see you?" Luo Qiu looked at the little black cat and asked softly.

The black cat's eyes suddenly rolled, and then he jumped off the counter, quickly ran into the crowd, and disappeared... Boss Luo shook his head and planned to get up and leave.

Before leaving, Boss Luo glanced at a portion of potato chips on the table - they were snacks that came with buying wine.

After thinking about it, I packed it.

…

…

Distant time and space...

"Adam, bring up for me the error report that this [Supreme Intelligence] has hidden for the past ten years... Also, pour me a cup of coffee, thank you."

The maid wearing a work skirt was sitting in front of the screen, her fingers were like butterflies flying on the keys... the lines of code written in special words were like running water.

The coffee quilt with a strong fragrance was placed next to the maid lady... just within her reach - the maid lady casually reached out to take it.

But the moment the palm touched the ear of the cup, it was gently held.

"Master?" The maid looked up and saw her master standing behind her.

"I'm visiting the team." Boss Luo pointed to a critical door behind him, smiled and said, "I brought some condolences."

He placed a small box on the table.

The maid opened it curiously, then blinked and said in surprise: "Potato chips?"

"That's right." Boss Luo chuckled, then directly picked up a piece of potato chips, fed it to the maid, and said, "I heard that overtime goes better with snacks... In fact, I also brought instant noodles. "

The maid looked at her master even more surprised.

At this time, Boss Luo directly pinched his sleeves and waved his hand, and a ready-made kitchen appeared behind him... He walked in and said: "It will be ready soon, just wait."

The maid lady's eyes were full of doubts.
