Volume 7: Frost Chapter 15 Licking
Jiang You walked into the Special Operations Department's office carrying a birdcage. After greeting Sun Yu, he began to shout, "Recruiting talents, recruiting talents, look who I brought to see you?"
He walked into Zhaocai's room, but Zhaocai was not there.
Sun Yu said, "The recruitment is in the audio-visual room."
Jiang You walked to the door of the audio-visual room, opened it, and saw Zhao Cai sleeping on the sofa with his belly exposed and his paws facing the sky. Hearing the noise, Zhao Cai twisted his body a few times, turned over, and stood up.
Jiang You opened the birdcage and Jiujiu flew out.
Sun Yu walked over to Jiang You and watched Zhao Cai jumping up and down to chase Jiu Jiu. He said, "Zhao Cai needs to move more. I think he is much fatter than when he first came."
"That's right, hey, you see, cats are really liquid..."
Zhaocai seemed discouraged because he couldn't catch Jiujiu. He lay on the ground, slowly backed away, and his whole body gradually fell under the sofa.
Jiujiu flew onto the TV, turned its head and pecked the hair on its neck, then flapped its wings proudly.
"Are you here for something today?" Sun Yu asked Jiang You.
Jiang You said, "I have something to do. The section chief will probably be here soon."
"Anyone else?"
"The others may still be in Yanjing."
Jiang You turned around and prepared to leave, but he saw an orange afterimage flying towards the TV out of the corner of his eye. Before it could spread its wings, it was tightly held by Zhaocai's two claws. Then, with a "bang", Zhaocai fell to the ground.
It lowered its head, stuck out its tongue, and began to lick Jiujiu's fur.
A shrill bird cry was heard.
Jiujiu broke free from Zhaocai's arms, and rushed towards the ceiling with its fur in disarray. When it was about to hit the ceiling, it flapped its wings, circled half a circle, and then whooshed past Jiang You.
At this moment, the office door was just opened, Tang Butian was standing in front of the door, and Chuchu rushed out of the office and flew into the corridor.
"Stop, Jiji!" Jiang You chased and shouted, "Come back, come back!"
The window next to the elevator was open.
Chirp flew out.
Jiang You held his waist and took a few breaths.
When Sun Yu arrived, he asked, "Brother Jiang, do you want to chase him?"
Tang Butian also looked at Jiang You.
Jiang You waved his hand, "No need, it can go back by itself. Zhao Cai just pissed it off today."
After finishing speaking, Jiang You turned his head and looked at Tang Butian. Today, Tang Butian had tied her hair up and wore a cherry floral shirt with a red skirt, looking like a middle school student. He asked, "Where were you originally planning to go?"
"shop."
"Alone?"
"Li Sheng has arrived at school."
As they talked, they walked back to the office.
Zhaocai was still in the audio-visual room, lying in front of the birdcage with an innocent look on his face. Jiang You picked him up and carried him out. After sitting down, he stroked the fur on his back and said, "Your dinner is gone, did you know that?"
Zhao Cai looked at Sun Yu.
Sun-woo avoided its sight.
"What did Hongzhen say?" Tang Butian asked.
"What he said was rather vague," Jiang You said after briefly repeating Master Hongzhen's words, "I think his concerns are justified."
"Meow."
Zhao Cai called out, and Jiang You smoothed the fur on his head. "The research institute collected and organized all the metaphysical information from folk mountains, and then used modern data processing methods to analyze and explore. They obtained many useful conclusions and results , but they are only partially correct."
Tang Butian listened very attentively.
"Zhuang Zekun is too confident. The alien spiritual power is a reaction. I personally think that this conclusion may not be more correct than the alien spiritual power predicting that the way of heaven will change. It may be a more accurate description on a certain level, but from a panoramic perspective, I think it is not as good as Monk Xin."
"What will happen when the way of heaven changes?" Sun Yu asked.
"Anything is possible," Jiang You let go of his hand, and Zhao Cai jumped to the ground. He said seriously, "Based on my experience reading online articles , spiritual power revival and systems were very popular recently. Maybe in the future, each of us will be bound to a system when we are born," he looked at Tang Butian, "I want a system with a royal sister voice, preferably a physical one, a fox-eared girl, running around in front of me every day with her tail wagging, it's quite interesting."
Tang Butian looked at him, then looked at the wooden sword in his hand.
"It's just possible, maybe. The change of the way of heaven may be a good thing for this world, but it may not be a good thing for mankind."
"Why?" Sun Yu asked.
"Once the rules are established, they will move towards chaos and disorder from the moment they are established. This is what Buddhism says: the birth and death of heaven and earth is called a calamity. If the way of heaven is to last forever, then metabolism must be ensured. We cannot stick to the laws of our ancestors until the end of time."
"What should we do then?" Sun Yu asked.
"Generally speaking, things won't change so drastically. A virus won't appear today and humans will be extinct and full of zombies in three months. The monk can feel that the way of heaven will change. It may be because this time and thirty years ago, there were external forces interfering with the way of heaven. The way of heaven feels that it has nurtured humans for so long that we should take the initiative to embrace the changes, keep the external energy, and digest the external rules." Jiang You looked at Tang Butian, "That's about it. It's still early. Do you want to talk to Li Sheng again and go shopping now?"
"Lin Shunan said he wanted to come over."
Hearing the name Lin Shunan, Sun Yu also had a headache. He asked, "Why is he here? Isn't he going to torment us again?"
Tang Butian replied: "I don't know."
Jiang You went to the refrigerator and took out three cans of Coke. After the three of them drank Coke and chatted for a while, there was a knock on the door.
Sun Yu stood up and opened the door. The person who came was Lin Shunan.
"Section Chief Tang, Brother Sun, Brother Jiang," Lin Shunan greeted them one by one after entering the office, and then said, "Section Chief Tang, I'm here to apologize to you."
Tang Butian's expression was cold. She said, "What are you apologizing for?"
"I have deeply reflected on my way of doing things in the past few days. My original intention was to solve the problem of alien spiritual power, but I did not consider that the Special Operations Department is different from the Research Institute. The Special Operations Department has more work and responsibilities. What I did actually wasted the Special Operations Department's manpower and time."
"Then what?"
"I think the reason for these misunderstandings is that our two departments do not understand and communicate enough with each other. So I would like to invite members of the Special Operations Department to come to the institute . Yesterday, the new laboratory was finally fully built. I would like to invite you to visit and take a look at our latest research projects."
After saying this, Lin Shunan noticed that Tang Butian's expression did not change. He looked at Jiang You and Sun Yu for help.
Jiang You coughed lightly and asked, "If we visit, will meals be provided?"
"Of course I do."
"When?" Tang Butian asked.
"Next week, it seems many people are still in Yanjing right now?" He then quickly added, "Chief Tang, let's see which day is convenient for you."
"Okay." Tang Butian nodded.
After Lin Shunan smiled awkwardly, he said, "Well, I'll go then. Let me know when the time is set."
After Lin Shunan left, Sun Yu said: "He, why does he seem to..."
"A bit nerdy." Jiang You continued what Sun Yu said.
Sun Yu nodded, "Are all the people in the research institute like this?"
"God knows."
