dogma

Rao Xinghai's appearance surprised Qu Wu.He guessed that Rao Xinghai wanted to come over to find a location, but he didn't expect that he would come here immediately, as if there was something urgent that he needed to deal with.

Qu Wu's heart was touched for a moment: "You came to see me? I'm fine..."

"No." Rao Xinghai didn't sit down at all, he stood and looked around the cafe, "Where's Teacher Shen?"

Qu Wu: "...in our boss's office. What are you doing?"

Rao Xinghai finally sat down opposite him.

Rao Xinghai had seen that werewolf in the commercial street of the school sports meeting.He has to admit that the werewolf is very good, whether it is appearance or demeanor, it is the first time he has seen such a man in real life, as if everything is easy to handle, seemingly smooth and transparent, but in fact he is stingy at all The person above gave him a wink.

Rao Xinghai himself would never take the initiative to communicate with such a person, nor is he capable of communicating on an equal footing with an adult like the werewolf boss.

Out of a defensive mentality, Rao Xinghai had already regarded Bo Wan as an imaginary enemy on the way there in a hurry.

But he wouldn't reveal anything to Qu Wu, so after thinking for a long time, he forced a lie: "I'm nearby, and I want to ask Mr. Shen about the exam."

Qu Wu let him talk nonsense and didn't care.

Rao Xinghai: "Have they talked for a long time?"

Qu Wu: "No."

Both of them actually pricked up their ears, but even though they had keen hearing, they couldn't detect what happened in the small office at all.

There was melodious jazz music in the cafe, and the waiters who took a short lunch break came one after another.Qu Wu glanced at the time.It's three o'clock. Boss Bo said that the store will open at three o'clock.

He is now in a completely natural state of mind.The part-time job was discovered by Shen Chunlan, and no matter what he did, he could not change the ending.Qu Wu quickly made a decision: at least he had to finish this day's work and get enough hourly wages.

"What's your boss's name?" Rao Xinghai asked.

Qu Wu was taken aback.He didn't know the full name of Boss Boss. The name signed on the contract at that time was too fluent, and the Chinese characters were reborn, and it had become a stick figure.

He didn't even know if it was two words or three.

Rao Xinghai was speechless: "Didn't you ask?"

Qu Wu: "I never asked."

He has disliked the boss from the first day he joined the job, and naturally he will not seriously understand everything about the boss.

Rao Xinghai felt a little anxious.The werewolf boss is so good.If he had to choose, he would be vacillating between a student who often irritated him and a handsome and outstanding mature man.

He knocked on the table unconsciously, making a loud bang.

Anxiety is unfounded.But he knew it was groundless, so he rushed over in a hurry.

what can he doWhy did he think that Shen Chunlan would definitely have something to do with the werewolf boss?These naive logic and ridiculous speculations made him feel embarrassed after thinking about them a little bit.

This is very different from the previous anxiety.He once felt unhappy when he saw Cao Hui and Shen Chunlan together, and wanted to exclude Cao Hui from the training.It seems to simply reject aliens, it is the wild beasts expelling outsiders within their own range.

But now, he is more anxious because he doesn't know what he can do.When striding forward in the cold wind, Rao Xinghai's mind was full of various doubts, each doubt was very specific, and in each doubt, he was the one who was powerless to reverse everything.

Qu Wu wrote exercises for a while, then looked up at Rao Xinghai.

The expression on Rao Xinghai's face did not change, but both of them were sentinels, and Qu Wu was keenly aware of the instability of Rao Xinghai's breath.He seemed to be caught in some kind of vortex, anxiety and tension became the protagonists currently ruling his body and mind.

If Yang Deyi was sitting here at this moment, he might have made a more accurate judgment.But in front of Rao Xinghai was Qu Wu.

Qu Wu asked a question: "Are you idle, have you finished your review?"

Rao Xinghai came back to his senses: "No."

Qu Wu closed the "History of Special Human Development" in front of him: "The history of development is a big class, and the scope of the exam is wide. Have you read all the books?"

Rao Xinghai: "Isn't development history an open-book exam?"

Qu Wu: "You also need to read the book for the open-book exam. There are too many questions, and you can't find them anywhere."

Rao Xinghai's mind was pulled back by Qu Wu.He saw Qu Wu put the history textbook aside and opened "Introduction to Cognitive Science".

Coincidentally, Rao Xinghai was not confident in other textbooks, but he was very familiar with the "Introduction to Cognitive Science" taught by Shen Chunlan. He could even guarantee that, apart from a few top students whose rankings were unshakeable, he might be the top student in the introduction exam. The best one.

Because Boss Bo didn't come out, Qu Wu was blatantly lazy and continued to review.

Rao Xinghai stared at his textbook for a while, and suddenly remembered the "Gearfish" that was still in his backpack.

Sentinels and guides, and even special humans, are called "cogs" of social development.

But Nie Cai obviously didn't like this title.He hates this kind of remarks that seem to instrumentalize special human beings. He wants to be a fish, dive into the sea, and stir up the wind and clouds.

On the night when he left the [-] General Hospital, when Shen Chunlan put the scarf around Rao Xinghai's neck, he reminded him to forget about the Yuanxing Society and not to search for it.

Rao Xinghai did not search.He himself holds a booklet of the Far Star Society.

After returning to the dormitory, he never resisted the temptation, took out "Gearfish" again, and watched it from beginning to end.

This time, he saw more intriguing content.

In the middle of "Gearfish", Nie Cai puts forward two points of view.

First, social resources are limited, and even fewer resources are allocated to special humans.If this part of scarce resources is blindly inclined to the rare and special human beings, it will only lead to the development of special human beings to be retarded or even regressed.

He believes that the number of other special humans should be appropriately reduced to make room for sentinel guides.

Why Sentinel Wizard?

He put forward a second point of view: because in the entire course of human history, only the evolution of sentinel guides completely complies with historical development.Sentinels and guides are more advanced human beings, they should not be discriminated against and face fear, they deserve more from the moment they are formed in the womb.

"The history of helpless human beings is written by the victors. Even though sentries and guides have played an important role in every struggle in history, compared to the huge number of special humans, the voices of sentinels and guides will always be ruthlessly cut off. "

Rao Xinghai remembered Nie Cai's original words in "Gearfish".

"Compared with special human beings such as half-zombies, underground people, werewolves, spring slaves, tea grandmas, or vampires who are sick or degenerate, sentries and guides are undoubtedly a new type of human beings who are perfect. We have mastered human evolution and The top secret of development. The explosive and leap-forward development of human beings is rare in the entire history of the earth, and the sentinel guide is the most successful achievement in this crazy development.

I am very honored to be one of them.

And I believe you are honored by it.You are so important among the pioneers leading humanity forward. "

It was hard for these words to disappear from Rao Xinghai's mind.He knew that Nie Cai might be an excellent preacher, and if he really had his own religion, then his followers would definitely not be small.

"Qu Wu," Rao Xinghai asked suddenly, "Why are there sentries and guides?"

Qu Wu didn't raise his head: "Didn't Teacher Shen say in the first section of the introductory class? We have a well-developed vomeronasal organ, and the vomeronasal organ is a kind of atavistic phenomenon."

Rao Xinghai thought to himself, Nie Cai would definitely not accept this point of view.

In "Gearfish", the one who is destined to lead the fish across the ocean and reach the other side of happiness is a new life named "Sentinel Guide".They don't bear the brand of "returning to ancestors", but are more advanced, smarter, stronger, and better able to adapt to changes in the environment. At the same time, they are also colder and crueler, and they know how to make choices when faced with choices.

The sentinel guide that Nie Cai admired is like a precise calculation machine.

Rao Xinghai wanted to ask Qu Wu a few more questions, when he suddenly heard the door opening from the small corridor.

He immediately stood up, and after taking a step, he hesitated again.Qu Wu looked at him with great interest: "What are you doing?"

Rao Xinghai grabbed the scarf and tightly wrapped it around his neck twice, Qu Wu suspected that he was going to strangle himself to death.

Shen Chunlan came out alone, his expression was not good.

Rao Xinghai raised his hand as a greeting.

Shen Chunlan was really startled: "What are you doing here?"

Immediately afterwards, he understood immediately.

"Rao Xinghai, did your dormitory already know that Qu Wu is here as a part-time job?" Shen Chunlan was very annoyed, "You are also working part-time, you should know that this is not allowed!"

Shen Chunlan leaned very close, lowered his voice, stared at the two students, all sullen.

Rao Xinghai didn't know if his anger came from the werewolf's office: "I was wrong."

Shen Chunlan did not accept his perfunctory apology. "Qu Wu, resign immediately after finishing today." Shen Chunlan ordered, "How much do you pay for a day here?"

Qu Wu: "180 per hour."

Shen Chunlan: "...What?!"

He had already saved up the next sentence—"Think about it, is such a small amount of money worth the risk of violating discipline"—but now he was tongue-tied and completely speechless.

One hundred and eighth hourly wages!Whether he is an undergraduate student at New Hope or a postgraduate student at Beijing Normal University, he has never heard that part-time students working in cafes can get such a high hourly salary.

Shen Chunlan felt that the job was getting worse at this moment: "What do you usually do?"

"Touch everything but coffee."

Shen Chunlan: "He didn't let you touch coffee, and gave you such a high salary?"

Qu Wu: "Boss Boss doesn't allow others to touch the coffee. Others do most of the latte art, make cold brew, and he always does things like roasted beans and grinds himself."

Shen Chunlan: "..."

The more he heard it, the more suspicious he felt about the store.

"After finishing today, don't do it again." He gave the order succinctly, "Otherwise, I will report to the academy."

Without giving Qu Wu a chance to defend himself, he turned around and walked out of the cafe.

Rao Xinghai put on his scarf and followed him out, Shen Chunlan glanced at him, very dissatisfied: "Why are you here? Have you finished your review?"

Rao Xinghai felt depressed for a while, why does everyone only care about this issue?

"No." Rao Xinghai replied honestly, "Qu Wu said you came to the cafe to find werewolves, I...I...I'll come and have a look."

Shen Chunlan: "You are really free."

Rao Xinghai changed the subject: "Werewolves are fierce."

Shen Chunlan thought to himself, no.

There are not many werewolves he has come into contact with. Some have fierce looks, and some are like the young werewolf from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Crisis Office, with a tense face, but they will give candies to girls.

What Bo Wan is more obvious is another kind.

His appearance is completely different from the werewolf in the traditional cognition, more handsome and delicate.But when Shen Chunlan started talking with him, Shen Chunlan clearly felt that the young people in front of him almost shared the commonality of werewolves in character and temper: without exception, they were all very stubborn.

What Shen Chunlan told Bo Wan was about Song Qi.

Where did Song Qi come from, how did he enter the Yuanxing Club, and how after he disappeared for a long time, he was re-affected by the mutated zombie virus, and finally died in the No. [-] Hospital.

During the narration, Bo Wan didn't say a word, just stared at Shen Chunlan.

Shen Chunlan's heart sank: Bo Wan's performance can only show one thing, he is not completely ignorant of these things.

In the mutual introduction of the two, the werewolf said his name.Following the principle of politeness, Shen Chunlan asked one more question about the meaning of the name, and the werewolf quickly replied: I was born in the evening, and it was chosen by my father.

So Shen Chunlan chatted with Yuanxing Club and Bo Yuntian again.

He completely relied on Shen Chunhong's report, and did not expect these insufficiently detailed information to arouse Bo Wan's interest.But Bo Wan's expression changed.

"How do you know so much?" he asked. "Are you really just a teacher?"

Shen Chunlan: "I know this is not what a teacher should do. I came here just to remind you that the Yuanxing Club that split off may be doing illegal things. Song Qi... is a close friend of mine who has never met. Let's hope his death is meaningless."

Bo Wan sat on the office chair, looking up at the ceiling.This room is very narrow, filled with a strong aroma of coffee, and half of it has been used as a warehouse, filled with various packages of coffee beans.

"Mr. Shen, anyone's death is meaningless." He smiled coldly, "Including my father's. Everything you said has nothing to do with me. He died, and the Yuanxing Society disappeared, which is a natural thing. As for who will do things under the banner of the Yuanxing Society in the future, that is not my responsibility."

Shen Chunlan: "Then why did you name this place Remotestar?"

Bo Wan stared at Shen Chunlan, wrinkling her eyelids slightly: "Are you a sentinel or a guide?"

Shen Chunlan: "Remotestar means a lot to you."

Bo Wan was very dissatisfied with his attitude of avoiding questions, and Shen Chunlan's way of speaking made him even more displeased. "Mr. Shen, you are too reckless. If you come here and tell me about the Yuanxing Club and the half-zombie man, don't you doubt that I am actually a member of the Yuanxing Club now?"

Shen Chunlan stared at this young man who was about his own age.

"You are not." He said affirmatively, "You named this cafe after remotestar, and you still kept the badge of the Yuanxing Club. A society dedicated to the rare and special human being. If you dismiss the idea, you won't continue to wear the badge."

He paused and continued.

"The person who told me about the Yuanxing Society said that the Yuanxing Society only accepts adults to join. Bo Yuntian passed away ten years ago. At that time...were you an adult? If you are not an adult, your badge is not your own .This is something your father left you? If you don't agree with his concept, how can you wear it all the time?"

Bo Wan: "These are all your speculations, or I hate my father and want to spoil his hard work, so I deliberately use the name remotestar to do bad things?"

Shen Chunlan: "I'm not groundless. I just asked your name."

Bo Wan was taken aback.

Shen Chunlan: "If you hated your father, you wouldn't take the initiative to tell me that he chose this name for you."

"... Ha!" Bo Wan frowned and stared at him, "Is this some kind of mind game?"

"It's just some simple psychological inferences. Boss Bo, I'm testing you, because I wasn't sure whether I should tell you these things just now." Shen Chunlan was very calm, "But I'm sure now that you still respect your father, then you Wearing a badge and taking the name of Yuanxing, everything shows that you are not without feelings for the 'Yuanxing Club'."

The impatience on Bo Wan's face finally faded away.His tone changed completely, with tiredness.

"I was just an adult when he died." Bo Wan said in a low voice, "I hadn't had the chance to join the Yuanxing Club yet, and this badge was his relic. In my father's words, the Yuanxing Club has gone bad. He won't let me join until he's cleared."

Shen Chunlan: "Degenerate?"

Bo Wan looked at Shen Chunlan: "He regrets it very much. He personally recruited Nie Cai into the Yuanxing Club."

For a split second, Shen Chunlan thought she had heard wrong.

He heard himself asking back, "Nie Cai?"

Bo Wan: "I'm sorry...you don't know this person. He's very...terrible, both in his thoughts and in his behavior. My father always wanted to expel him before he died, but...I can only eavesdrop occasionally In just a few words, he said that there are more people following Nie Cai than imagined..."

Shen Chunlan did not hear the many words that followed.He just felt a bone-chilling chill penetrate his body.

He seemed to be standing in the narrow room again, with the cold black mud under his feet, trapping him and devouring him.

Nie Cai is a member of the Yuanxing Society - this is a very unexpected news.

Shen Chunlan hastily interrupted Bo Wan: "This Nie Cai...do you still have contact with him?"

Bo Wan hesitated for a moment: "Why are you asking this?"

Shen Chunlan: "Is there?"

Bo Wan pursed her thin lips tightly, Shen Chunlan's excitement made his eyes vigilant again, as if remembering the two strangers who only met today for the first time.

"No contact." Bo Wan replied, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

Walking in the cold wind outdoors at this time, Shen Chunlan finally realized belatedly that Bo Wan had lied.

He didn't answer Shen Chunlan's question immediately, but responded with rhetorical questions.This is obvious avoidance and defense.He still has contact with Nie Cai, or in other words, he still met Nie Cai after the Yuanxing Club split.

Shen Chunlan stood still and turned around.

Rao Xinghai turned around following his movements.

But Shen Chunlan didn't take a step.He knew that if he went back at this time, it would be impossible to ask anything from Bo Wan. The name "Nie Cai" made him lose his composure, and Shen Chunlan who lost his composure made Bo Wan full of vigilance.

Rao Xinghai was a little confused, but when Shen Chunlan continued to walk towards the school, he still followed faithfully.Seeing Shen Chunlan clutching the collar tightly, he thought that Shen Chunlan was cold, so he took off the scarf and put it on his shoulders.

Shen Chunlan was taken aback for a moment, as if realizing that Rao Xinghai was still by his side: "I don't need it."

Rao Xinghai still put it on for him.

The simple act of putting on a scarf for Shen Chunlan made him jump with joy, and the many doubts, anxieties and uneasiness that had arisen in the cafe just now disappeared completely, as if they had never existed before.

Shen Chunlan coughed lightly, pulled her thoughts away from Nie Cai and Bo Wan, and started talking to Rao Xinghai: "You know that Qu Wu is working part-time, why don't you stop Qu Wu?"

Rao Xinghai: "He needs money very much."

Shen Chunlan: "What happened to his family?"

Rao Xinghai hesitated.

Shen Chunlan lowered his face: "You can't even tell me? If you don't tell me now, it will be more troublesome to deal with when I report to the academy."

Rao Xinghai: "You said you would not report to the academy."

Shen Chunlan: "I'll go back on my word, you can try."

Rao Xinghai held back for a long time, and finally whispered: "It has something to do with his prosthetic limb."

At this time, in the small room of RS Cafe, Boss Bo was looking up and down at Qu Wu's prosthetic limb.

Qu Wu originally planned to come over and tell him that he might have to stop his part-time job, but Boss Bo got into his own small room and started drinking.

Boss Bo doesn't often enter this narrow room where wine and various discs are placed.Qu Wu recalled that Boss Bo was drinking heavily here when she first came to RS to work part-time.

But today he didn't drink too much, a bottle of wine was opened, two glasses were half filled, and both were placed in front of Boss Bo.

Qu Wu entered the small room, and before he could speak, Boss Bo had already motioned him to sit down.

Qu Wu carefully sat down next to the edge of the sofa, about two people away from Boss Bo.

Boss Bo: "Sit here and come near me."

Qu Wu: "That's all right."

Boss Bo: "Be obedient. If you are obedient, maybe you can touch my paw."

Qu Wu hesitated for half a second, and quickly sat down.

Boss Bo pointed to the wine glass on the table: "I invite you to drink."

Qu Wu: "I've only drank beer, this kind... I'm not suitable."

"This is Gamay, suitable for beginners." Boss Bo put one hand on the back of the sofa, with a smile in his eyes, and persuaded Qu Wu, "And it's iced, delicious and fruity, try it .”

Qu Wu was still hesitating.

"You want to tell me about the part-time job, don't you?" the werewolf asked softly.

Qu Wu nodded.

"Then you drink first." The werewolf said, "After drinking this cup, I will listen to you."

Qu Wu obediently picked up the wine glass.He had never drunk this kind of wine before. The light purple liquid reflected more and more complex and mellow colors in the light. He finished it in one breath, and the heat rushed from his stomach to his face. It was as if soaked in rice, and it suddenly became smoky.

The werewolf had been staring at him, and couldn't help but chuckle at this moment.

"You wasted the wine."

"I said I don't know how to drink." Qu Wu wiped her mouth.

"It's okay." The werewolf picked up the remaining cup and shook the stem, "I'll let you waste it."

Qu Wu felt a little dizzy, she didn't know if it was the wine or the cramped space.

Boss Bo didn't look happy, nor angry.The anger that the middle-aged man brought to him just now subtly changed after a long conversation with Shen Chunlan.

"The first time I drank, I drank Gamay." The werewolf said, "My father brought me to drink. Then I drank half a glass in one gulp just like you."

He took a sip of his wine.

"I was five years old."

Qu Wu: "...Is it a bit early?"

He tried to make the topic easier, but when he turned his head and wanted to say something, he suddenly stopped.

Two hairy wolf ears appeared on the side of the werewolf's handsome face, where his ears should have been.The werewolf didn't look so threatening anymore, Qu Wu even thought he was a little childish.

He held his breath nervously, not sure if this was a parting gift from his boss.

"Is it early? I knew how to hunt when I was five years old. Rabbits, sheep, deer... Father didn't allow me to eat them, but I learned how to catch them—what are you doing?"

Bo Wan watched Qu Wu's hand reach out to her.

The young sentinel's face was flushed strangely, but his eyes were clear.He touched the werewolf's ear.

"...Wow." Qu Wu sighed in a low voice.

Werewolf: "..."

Qu Wu touched him with his prosthetic limb.

The werewolf suddenly became curious: "Is your prosthetic... the same as a human hand?"

He realized that he had never asked Qu Wu about the prosthetic.

Qu Wu: "Huh?"

He is a little drunk.So cute, thought the werewolf.

Grasping Qu Wu's arm, he easily pushed the sentinel down on the back of the sofa, while he moved closer, so close that he could almost touch Qu Wu's eyelashes.

"Didn't your textbook teach you not to touch the ears of werewolves casually?"

Qu Wu: "..."

Sensing the unknown danger, he shook his head nervously.

White mist poured out of him, and a border collie appeared in the room.

The werewolf didn't move his body, he was still half pressed on Qu Wu's body.The panic, puzzlement and forced calm of the young sentinel are really interesting.

"Qu Wu, you're drunk." His voice sounded like a suggestive chant, "I warned you, don't touch the werewolf's hair, don't touch the werewolf's ear casually."

Qu Wu nodded frantically: "I know now!"

Boss Bo: "Today I will teach you the third thing."

He raised the corners of his lips.

"Don't be alone in a room with a werewolf like me."

The voice was as shallow as a thin layer of spring water, as if it was only applied to the leaves, and it was indecipherable, barely slipping over Qu Wu's nose and lips.

Qu Wu completely held her breath, not daring to pant.The werewolf was almost kissing.

The author has something to say:

Today's troupe is a little deserted, and the director is lingering in front of the ticket window.

Director: What's the matter, why only one-third of the tickets were sold?Today there are guinea pigs and border shepherds doing a butt dance together!

Conductor: Everyone is queuing up at the Werewolf Café.

Director: ...why?

Conductor: If you spend over 200, you can draw a lottery and have a chance to get a kiss from the werewolf boss.

Director: Bah!Grandstanding!

But today it has never been able to perform.

Because Bian Mu took the guinea pig to the cafe and queued up to ask for a kiss.

After Rao Xinghai learned of this, (because the scene was too violent, the following is omitted).
