Just as Xiao Guo was about to speak, I thought of something to add, and hurriedly said: "You said that the recruiter only communicated with the selected 60 people. I think all the recruiters have received messages from the recruiter." Xiao Guo looked at me suspiciously, and I said, "The message is sure to have a strong persuasive force, requiring all applicants not to admit that they have ever applied." Xiao Guo hesitated: "There are so many people, everyone is willing to obey?" I said, "I don't know what method was used, but it's obviously very effective—that's why we couldn't even find a single candidate."

Xiao Guo couldn't help shaking his head──I don't blame him, because there are indeed too many things that I can't figure out.Xiao Guo murmured: "Could it be that the recruiter made a serious threat, so the applicant was too scared to admit it?" I smiled bitterly: "This is one of the possibilities. You can not study such side issues for the time being. When the fundamental problem is solved, there will naturally be an answer." Xiao Guo swayed vigorously and yelled several times.It seems that he wants to express his depression.Then, he said: "The aspirant's demand for life quota is directly related to its use. If the demand is large, it means that it will be used for business; if the demand is small, it seems to be used for research work."

I agree with Xiao Guo's analysis - if the life quota has reached the stage where it can be bought and sold, the demand for it must be beyond imagination.As it is now, it is certainly not enough for a city to choose sixty people. Xiao Guo said again: "If the selected people have disappeared, why didn't they attract attention?" I raised my eyebrows: "In a city with a population of over one million, many people disappear every day, so it won't attract much attention." Xiao Guo smiled bitterly: "What can we do now?" I thought about it for a while, and felt very helpless: "I can't do anything—there is no way to start, so I have to wait for changes."

Xiao Guoda didn’t take it seriously, and pointed at me: “It’s nice to say, what’s the matter of waiting for changes, it’s simply admitting failure, and you have no fighting spirit!” I spread my hands: "Whatever you say." Xiao Guo leaned closer to me: "This is not your style──Wesley has always been persistent in everything, how can there be any reason to give up halfway?" I suddenly felt very tired, I wiped my face with my hand a few times, and spoke weakly: "Everything has a beginning, let this be the first thing that Wesley doesn't want to pursue." Xiao Guo's eyes were fixed, his voice was hoarse, and he called out: "Tell me the real reason──I don't believe you will admit defeat."

I sighed: "When failure comes, no matter whether you admit it or not, you have to accept it. The current situation is like this." Xiao Guo was extremely stubborn: "Tell me the real reason!" I looked at him for a while, and then slowly said: "Lu Xun originally studied medicine, but later he gave up—" I just said this, Xiao Guo already said: "He said: study medicine, heal the rich, they continue to oppress the poor; heal the poor, they continue to be oppressed by the rich, it is too boring, so he gave up. " I nodded: "It's good that you know."

Xiao Guo really has the spirit of perseverance: "Your ideas are too outdated. Lu Xun's era was nearly a century ago, and the confrontation between the rich and the poor is not so sharp now." I smiled wryly and said, "I know, but when I think of powerful rulers, if they can live a long life through the transfer of life quota, I have no interest in this matter." Xiao Guo sneered: "You are too naive—power rule is a group. If some die, others will naturally take over. The presence or absence of a few people leads to changes in fundamental policies, and that is just the wishful thinking of so-called political commentators."

Xiao Guo's words made me very impressed--I already understood the truth, but emotionally I can't accept that the life of a powerful ruler can be extended. I patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, you continue to reason." Xiao Guo was very happy, he let out a big breath, and continued: "I imagine that all the selected candidates have already gathered in a certain place—there, the trading of life quotas is carried out." Xiao Guo's hypothesis, like other assumptions about this matter, has a very strange phenomenon: he knows that things should be like this, but he can't imagine how things should be like this.

Like Xiao Guo said, all the selected candidates have been gathered.I agree with the idea, but can't imagine how it worked out. In other parts of the world, although it is not difficult to transfer 60 people from every major city to their destination, it is not easy to do so without any traces—there are always clues to follow in the whereabouts of modern people . What is even more unimaginable is that the sixty people disappeared under the strict surveillance of the powerful rule. I believe that Zhu Jin and the others have tried their best to track down the whereabouts of the sixty people, but of course there is no result.

And it would be even more difficult to imagine that those 60 people had already left the country. My expression was very hesitant, Xiao Guo knew what I was thinking, and he said: "It is difficult to get those people to go abroad, but it is definitely not impossible──" Before he finished speaking, I nodded in agreement. Indeed, it is difficult, but not impossible—after the world-shocking massacre, the executioner still had more ideas and ordered the arrest of many "key criminals".But the fact is that the "important criminals" went abroad one after another, leaving the executioner dumbfounded, wondering which link went wrong.

Therefore, under the rule of power, strict surveillance can still be broken through.Therefore, Xiao Guo's idea can be established. I raised my hand: "Your hypothesis can be established, but it's not helpful to investigate the whole matter. We don't know who the opponent is at all, and we can't imagine who or what group is so powerful and can do so much Things you can't even think about." Xiao Guo looked at me without making a sound. I knew what he was thinking, and shook my head, "No, it won't be aliens. You have to convince me first, what's the use of aliens asking for life quotas from people on earth."

Xiao Guo sighed: "If it's not an alien, then I really don't know who the solicitor is." As soon as Xiao Guo's words came out, the door opened, and before he saw anyone, he heard a voice: "I don't know who it is, you can find it!" As soon as Xiao Guo and I heard the sound, we stood up suddenly, and at the same time felt a strong wind, a big eagle flew in first, followed by Hong Ling, who was tall and strong, behind Hong Ling, who just spoke white element. Bai Su and Hong Ling came back, which made me very happy, but unexpectedly, there was another person behind Bai Su, and it was Mr. Liangsheng from Leman Hospital. They appeared suddenly, and while I was happy, I also felt strange——Listening to Bai Su's words, it seemed that she had heard the conversation between me and Xiao Guo. I gave her a questioning look, she nodded, looked at Liang Sheng, but said a conversation that sounded inexplicable to me: "Where is it?" Liang Sheng came forward and walked to the table.Not long ago, Zhu Jin and I sat around the table looking at a map. Liangsheng came to the table and pointed to the map that was still spread out on the table, which Zhu Jin and the others didn't take with them when they left. Hong Ling strode forward, stretching out her big hand to grab the map, Bai Su moved extremely quickly, and with a flip of her hand, she had already grabbed Hong Ling's wrist, preventing her from moving the map. Xiao Guo and I were dumbfounded by the series of actions of the three of us, not knowing what happened. Bai Su stopped Hong Ling, turned her head, and said a word to me—but her lips moved, but she didn't hear her. She used "lip language", saying: "There is an eavesdropping device, the bright sound was found outside." In an instant, I was so angry that I clenched my hands into fists and was about to rush out. Bai Su let go of the red silk, and grabbed me again──She said in a very happy tone: "Xiao Guo is here, great, let's go to the study." Xiao Guo also understood Bai Su's lips, he nodded immediately and went upstairs first.I held back my breath and followed, Bai Su, Hong Ling and Liang Sheng also entered the study together. Bai Su closed the door behind her back—my study has extremely perfect sound insulation equipment, if the listening device is downstairs, you will never hear what we say in the study. As soon as the front teeth were closed, Xiao Guo said: "My good fellow, you actually wielded a big sword in front of Guan Gong and played tricks of eavesdropping in Weifu!" Bai Su said: "If it wasn't for Mr. Liangsheng, we really wouldn't be able to find out—that map is a highly sensitive listening device, which is the most cutting-edge technology." Bai Su then told the story, it turned out that she and Hong Ling came home and met Liang Sheng at the door.Liang Sheng's behavior at that time was very strange—holding a small box in his hand, putting it next to his ear, and listening to something. When he saw Bai Su, he made a gesture to Bai Su, and Bai Su walked forward, he put the small box to Bai Su's ear, and Bai Su heard my conversation with Xiao Guo. Of course, Bai Su immediately knew what was going on. He pointed to the bushes not far away in a bright voice, and made a few gestures to indicate that it was none of his business—he explained to us later that his small box , has a myriad of functions and can receive many signals.He intercepted the signal from the eavesdropper. At that time, he didn't know who had put the eavesdropper in my house, but according to the ins and outs of the signal, he knew that the eavesdropper was hiding in the bushes not far away. . Bai Su felt that the loud voice was not malicious at that time, she listened to my conversation with Xiao Guo for a while, and then opened the door and came in. I believe that Liu Xu must not have known about putting down the listening device—although she also came out of the mud, but under the influence of Conway XVII, she should have gotten used to acting aboveboard and would no longer be so ghostly.If Conway knew about this kind of behavior, this "new life form" robot would definitely be furious, and Liu Xu didn't dare to take the risk. That is to say, it was the good deeds of Hibiscus and Shui Hong. I didn't have a good impression of the two of them at first, but now I feel disgusted and disgusted to the extreme. Bai Su lightly patted the back of my hand twice, signaling me to be calm.She looked towards Liang Sheng, and Liang Sheng spread out her hands, with a helpless expression on her face: "After meeting with Mr. Wei last time, we tried our best to track down the whereabouts of the solicitor, but we found nothing, so we came here again to hear the news──but look Come, Mr. Wei, there is no progress on the matter." Both Xiao Guo and I smiled wryly.Xiao Guo said: "There are only some assumptions, but there is no development in reality—Wess ideals are about to be given up..." When he said this, he looked at Bai Su, who smiled and said, "He was just joking." I continued to smile bitterly: "Everything that can be done has been done, but there is still no result. Zhu Jin and the others came here, thinking that there was a turning point, but they also failed. Even Leman Hospital has no clue. What else can we do?" for?" Bai Su ignored my words, and said to Liang, "Why are you so interested in this matter?" When she asked this question, she made a backhand gesture to me. I knew what he meant, and I always insisted that the matter had nothing to do with aliens, because aliens would not be interested in the life quota of people on earth.As for Liangsheng and the Lerman Hospital he represents, it can be said that they belong to the scope of aliens. They are obviously very interested, which can also prove that my idea is not quite right. Liang Sheng replied: "We have been studying human life, and thus discovered the life quota. If our discovery is used by people for business, it will bring chaos to the order of human society." I have already seen what Liang Sheng said. In this matter of life quota trading, no matter the buyer or the seller, because they are in it and only care about their own interests, they can't see its destructive effect on social order. I asked myself that I would not buy my life, let alone sell my life. I can be said to be a bystander, so I can see the seriousness of this matter. And Liang Sheng is an alien, and there is no doubt about the position of the bystander, so he should see it more clearly than me. Satisfied with Liangsheng's answer, Bai Su nodded her head with a serious expression: "So we can't give up on the investigation anyway, we must find out the results and stop this kind of life quota trading." Originally, I was really disheartened about this matter, but at this moment, Bai Su's words made me let out a long howl involuntarily, expressing that I have made up my mind to continue to pursue without a clue. As soon as I made a sound, Hong Ling, a savage, longed for this opportunity, and roared too.The combination of the voices of the two, although not earth-shattering, is quite astonishing.At this moment, I looked out the window and saw a group of people coming out of the nearby bushes. Looking down from the top, it looks like people are very short due to the angle.The person walking in the front was not very tall, but now it looked more like a mound moving forward.And the three women who followed him, no matter from any angle, they were all beautiful and dazzling. These three women are, of course, Liu Xu, Zhu Jin and Shui Hong. But the thick and solid man in front of him was a tycoon.Behind it was Tao Qiquan and some rich people I could recognize or not. I'm not surprised to see these people—they've come to me before, and they'll come again.On the contrary, Zhu Jin put down the listening device at my place and dared to show up openly. I really admire her courage. To my surprise, there were many people behind them. First there were seven or eight men in Arab dress, and a few more in military uniform, with stars shining on their shoulder epaulets. In addition, there were some people in strange clothes, twenty or thirty people walking with the help of others, and even a few people in wheelchairs. The strange combination of this large group of people really cannot be added. Judging by their situation, they are coming towards my house.Maybe the voices from Hong Ling and me were transmitted through the window, but most of them still sounded very alarming, so those people stopped and looked up. This time, I can condescendingly see their faces clearly.After looking at it, Xiao Guo first let out an exclamation, and I couldn't help but take a breath. At a glance, I can recognize at least ten or eight big people-these big people are either super rich, or those in power who have the ability to turn the world upside down, cause chaos in the world, or make the world peaceful. The identities of the other characters that I didn't recognize for a while can also be imagined. The combination of many economic, political and military giants is simply a worldwide summit meeting. I was wondering why so many giants gathered together, but Bai Su said behind me: "These people are all big buyers of life quotas." After Bai Su reminded me, I became even more angry, and said with a sneer, "I really hope that I can sell my life quota──and refuse to sell it to them. It is also a pleasure to see their desperate expressions!" Shaking his head brightly: "Wei Jun, you are too extreme! The trading of life quotas is not a good thing for human beings. But if you find a way to transfer life quotas, it will be a great discovery. If this kind of discovery can be bought with money, I will Also a buyer." I said angrily, "What's the use of your life quota?" Liang Sheng's answer was actually within my expectations. He said: "The development of civilization on Earth is quite slow. One of the reasons is that people on Earth have short lives. If some great scientists can enjoy more life quotas , they will be able to make more contributions to human civilization. For example, if Leonardo Da Vinci can live another 50 years, the history of human flight may be advanced by 200 years." I sneered and said, "What you said just now is purely a fantasy of aliens. If the life quota can be transferred, it must be 100% transferred to those people──" As I said this, I stretched out my hand and pointed out the window. At this moment, those people were getting closer to my house. I waved my hand vigorously again and raised my voice: "It will never be the scientist's turn to enjoy it!" Liang said: "That's just a problem with the distribution method—not the fundamental problem." I stared at him: "Have you ever heard a story about an emperor who saw a disheveled peasant and blamed them for not eating meat? The sarcastic remarks you just said are even worse than this. The distribution problem is the fundamental problem── It won't be up to you to distribute it!" With a bitter smile: "If Leman Hospital has mastered the transfer method of life quota, I can allocate it." I took a breath, and said word by word: "When you have this kind of power, you will be the same as the powerful people on Earth—power corrupts, this is the most reasonable saying!" At this time, Bai Su opened the door of the study and called down: "Everyone wait at the door, don't move rashly!" Of course, Bai Su's words can be heard by Zhu Jin through the wiretapping device, and Zhu Jin will naturally tell those people. But although Bai Su's words were authoritative, they didn't work.As soon as she spoke, there was a "bang bang" knock on the door, which was extremely rude. I couldn't bear it anymore, I jumped down from the upstairs, tumbling in mid-air, and landed in front of the door, opened the door with my left hand, reached out with my right hand, and grabbed the wrist of the guy who was knocking hard on the door outside, and moved backwards just fall. When I threw that guy out, I felt his body was very heavy. I didn't know he was a tycoon until he yelled. Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed, and a person passed by in front of me. I grabbed it, but it was empty.At the same time, the man could be heard shouting: "Be merciful!" The person is none other than Hibiscus. At this time, I was also wondering why the tycoon fell out all of a sudden, but I didn't hear the sound of him landing heavily. I turned around quickly, and saw the wonderful scene in front of me: I saw Hong Ling's hand at some point, her right hand grabbed the piece of fat protruding from the back of the tycoon, and her left hand supported the tycoon's waist, already The tycoon held his head high. While struggling, the tycoon yelled again and again. Seeing this situation, I naturally laughed out loud and cheered, "What a handsome skill!" Hong Ling smiled, shaking her arms, pretending to throw the tycoon out, and said at the same time: "Short fat man, if you call again, I will throw it hard like this, and see if your life quota will be reimbursed immediately!" The tycoon was afraid that he had never been treated like this since he was born, even if he was used to rampant behavior, he was afraid that Hong Ling could say and do it at this time, even though his cheeks were swollen with anger, he didn't dare to scream again. At this time, except for Zhu Jin who flew in, the rest of the people obeyed Bai Su's order and stood still at the door, not daring to move. Even Bai Su admired Hong Ling's actions very much. Immediately after my applause, she asked me loudly, "Do you know what kind of trick this is?" I couldn't stop laughing: "Of course I know!" Then, I raised my voice: "Back then, Mr. Hong, the beggar from the north, and Mr. Ouyang, the poisonous man from the west, used this technique to capture that fat monk!" People who can understand the conversation between me and Bai Su will not hate it too much, but the situation of the tycoon is getting worse and worse, but it is obvious to all. I saw that while we were talking, the condor also relied on its popularity to join in the fun.It flew to the tycoon's chest and stopped. The sharp beak was less than one centimeter away from the tycoon's eyes, and it swung back and forth, as if it was about to peck it off. What a tycoon, he is indeed extremely powerful. Under such circumstances, his eyes are wide open, and he doesn't even blink. And what happened next was even more unexpected. Zhu Jin screamed, and suddenly she became short and knelt down straight, with panic all over her face, and shouted: "It's all me!" No, you shouldn’t have eavesdropped on the house, let him down quickly, and I’ll kowtow to your whole family to make amends!” The tycoon shouted from above: "It's my idea! If you want to kill or fight, just come at me, don't make things difficult for others!" During the yelling, Zhu Jin really wanted to kowtow, but Bai Su rushed forward, leaned over and hugged her, and picked her up. Hong Ling was also greatly moved by the fact that Zhu Jin and Daheng had seen the truth through adversity, and immediately put Daheng down gently.Tycoon and Zhu Jin immediately hugged each other tightly. When I saw this situation, I just wanted to sneer, but Bai Su had already grabbed my hand with his backhand, preventing me from making a sound. Later, I laughed at Bai Su and Hong Ling: "You guys are too easy to soften your hearts. This man and a woman are clearly acting, and you forgave them so quickly!" Bai Su replied: "You have to be forgiving and forgiving. They have done this to such an extent, we should take advantage of the situation and stop, and keep it to a certain extent. Besides, this matter needs to be investigated, and many places have to cooperate with them, making it too rigid , no good." Although I didn't say anything more at the time, I didn't take it seriously.However, the development of things later was exactly as Bai Su had expected—this is something for later, and it is not even within the scope of this story, so I will not mention it. At the moment, the tycoon was still hugging Zhu Jin, looked towards me, and said: "In order to find out how much information you have on this matter, so it is my idea to put a listening device." I have already accepted Bai Su's hint, so I just said coldly: "Good idea──but it's useless, I don't have any information." The tycoon looked at Xiao Guo, and then at Liang Sheng, with a puzzled look on his face. I stopped Liangsheng, walked to the gate, and raised my voice: "This is Mr. Liangsheng from Leman Hospital. More than half of you know his origin. The life quota you are looking for is first given by Leman. Mann Hospital. He can tell you that they just proposed this concept, and they don’t know how to transfer life quotas from some people to others! What you are pursuing, even Mr. Liang Sheng doesn’t know, it’s equal to There is no such thing at all!" The reason why I pulled Liang Sheng out was because I saw the battle of the group of people outside the door, and knew that if the matter was not resolved thoroughly, I would be very troubled in the future.Therefore, it is very clear that I have nothing to do with the whole thing, and I can get nothing from here. Those people were very disappointed when they heard my words. Some people who were big men came up to say hello to me, and those who didn't know came up to introduce themselves as representatives of so-and-so. All of a sudden, it was really chaotic for a while.I pointed to one of them: "Your master has just passed his fiftieth birthday, and he is in his prime, so why rush to buy life quota!" The man's answer can be said to represent the aspirations of all buyers.He said: "Master said: Life is impermanent. Today you don't know what will happen tomorrow. If you have prepared for it, there will be no mistakes. Master asks me to say hello to Mr. Wei." I spread my hands: "Everyone has already understood that I really can't provide any help on this matter!" The tycoon walked to my side and said loudly: "We came here and didn't intend to get any help from you!" I was angry and funny: "Then, why are you here?" The tycoon's answer made me even more angry.He actually said: "We are here to ask you not to sabotage this matter──we are determined to buy life quotas, please don't get in the way and sabotage our deal!" I was so angry that I couldn't speak for a while, at this time Hong Ling and Bai Su stood by my side and expressed their support for me. I stared straight at the tycoon, and said coldly, "What I do, or don't do, is up to me. You, or anyone else, can't change it──Have I made it clear enough?" The tycoon's face was ashen, and he said nothing.Tao Qiquan came up to smooth things over, and I shook my head at him: "You can't convince me, and I can't convince you either—everyone does his own thing. Don't bother anyone, okay?" Tao Qiquan sighed a few times and said nothing. I ignored them, turned around and went into the room, followed by Guo Hongling and Bai Su, who had a bright voice. Laughed loudly: "I wish you success──Everyone will become a thousand-year-old tortoise!" I immediately laughed and said, "Well said!" Although Bai Su didn't think so, she couldn't help laughing, and Xiao Guo and Liang Sheng applauded together.Although those people outside the door looked embarrassed, it seemed that they didn't mind being turned into big turtles, the important thing was that they didn't die for a thousand years. This shows how strong their desire to buy their lives is! Suddenly, what I thought was: Are there more people in the world who want to buy their lives, or are there more people who want to sell their lives? This story, titled, ends here. No result - of course not yet, because "buying your life" is an incomplete act at all.If you only buy, if you don't sell, there will be no results.There is buying and selling, which is a complete process. Therefore, of course, if you want to know what will happen next, you must listen to the "next chapter" decomposed in the next chapter. All kinds of twists and turns will be developed in the next story. Not sure if you believe in life quotas. I believe it very much──because in my body, there are indeed several life quotas that have been used up. I'm not even sure if life quotas could be purchased and I could afford them, I'd buy them—like those people. How about you? (full text)
