Mingyue is a very touching name, just like the smile of the woman in the photo.
Lao Tian looked up at the smiling Mingyue in the photo, and slowly spoke, there was a hint of tenderness in his voice that could not be heard in ordinary words: "I remember very clearly, when I first met her, I was already over three hundred years old, and she was only seventeen years old.
We ran to the West Lake to drink together in the rainy spring, and we chased the deer on the vast snowy snowfield together" When he said this, Lao Tian's eyes seemed to be shining, but then, that trace of brilliance gradually faded.
"I remember it very clearly, I remember every day I knew her very clearly, and that period was the happiest time of my life."
Lao Tian's voice was very emotional, and then he whispered: "I remember one time, on the day I was born, she told me that she would congratulate me on my birthday every year in the future.
It's a pity that I lived too long."
The last sentence "living too long" is full of sourness and vicissitudes that Chen Xiao can't understand.
Chen Xiao looked at Lao Tian's face silently, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "You love her" "I love it."
Lao Tian nodded.
Then he seemed to smile: "I have been married several times in my life, but each time it is not long, I mean compared to my lifespan, it is not long enough."
Every time I fall in love with a woman, I watch them grow old and die.
Even watching my children, grandchildren, and grandchildren grow old and die step by step, I don't think you will experience this kind of feeling. ” At this moment, Lao Tian's voice was very astringent and bitter.
"She was the last woman I fell in love with, and the one I loved the most.
I have lived for more than 400 years, and it is not that I have never had other women, but Mingyue is a special woman, she is beautiful, and she has a charm that others can't match, she is a unique woman, a unique woman who can't find a second one in this world.
When Lao Tian said this, he smiled bitterly: "Probably, there is another reason: I have never been loved by her." ” What you can't get, it's always the best.
Lao Tian walked to the innermost window, took out an old and worn wooden box, and took out a pocket watch from inside.
It was a copper pocket watch with a green patina on the chain and scratches on the case.
"This is the first birthday gift that Mingyue gave me."
Lao Tian's fingers gently rubbed the scratches on the case, and said softly: "She said that every year when I was born in the future, she would give me a watch."
Unfortunately, she died at an early age, but she allowed her descendants to do so, and until the last owner of the shop left, I was given a new watch every year when I was born.
However, what I have always cherished the most is this piece. ” Lao Tian put the old-fashioned pocket watch back, shook his head and said: "This thing is so precious, I have never been reluctant to put it by my side, and I dare not put it by my side, so I can only hide it here quietly." ” "Mingyue, she's a phoenix," Chen Xiao asked in a low voice.
But Lao Tian waved his hand and did not answer immediately.
"Mingyue's story is the beginning of the whole incident."
Lao Tian shook his head: "Even the service club, the club, and many, many more are related to this peculiar woman, if it wasn't for her back then, I'm afraid the current situation wouldn't be."
Then, Lao Tian pointed to the two old chairs in the shop: "Sit down, I will tell you slowly." ” He sat down first, holding the cigarette in his hand, and then skillfully took out a lighter from the coffee table, looked at Chen Xiao, and smiled: "I often sneak here alone, and when I'm in a bad mood, I sit here and smoke two cigarettes, talk to myself, and I feel as if Mingyue is still here with me."
So, I've hidden a lighter here, hehe. ” He lit his cigarette and took a deep breath, and the cyan smoke rose as Lao Tian began to speak.
"Mingyue was born in a large family in the late Qing Dynasty, at that time it was the Westernization movement, Mingyue was surnamed like a boy when she was young, and she would never know what everyone should learn such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Later, the two elder brothers in the family were sent abroad by their father to study abroad, and this delicate young lady actually rolled up a small baggage, quietly ran away from home, and got on a steamer.
Lao Tian smoked a cigarette and sighed: "That's when I met her, when I was doing something for the service agency, and I happened to be on that cruise ship, so I met her."
Chen Xiao suddenly smiled: "You said it like the Titanic." ” Lao Tian smiled: "She is a tomboy, in order to go out secretly, she deliberately cut her hair, and she also learned that others wore a dress and a pair of round glasses, but her body is too slender, and she will still be seen at a glance, fortunately, she will also do a unique job, which is makeup."
Lao Tian said, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, the cigarette between his fingers, the ash was left for a long time, and he didn't notice it when it fell on his clothes.
Chen Xiao didn't interrupt his memories, just waited quietly.
After a long while, Lao Tian sighed and shook his head: "Don't talk about this."
Actually, I wasn't the protagonist of that incident.
Because the person who met her on the boat or rather, the protagonist in her heart is not me. ” After a pause, Lao Tian's expression became serious: "At that time, there was another man from the service club who was on the boat with me, and that man was at a higher level than me in the service club, and I was just responsible for assisting him in that incident." ” assist With Lao Tian, an old monster who has lived for four hundred years, his own strength is unfathomable, let him be his assistant, and the identity of that man, "He is K."
Lao Tian said in a low voice: "At that time, he was K."
Moreover, he is also the youngest k in the ISS committee."
His voice became bitter: "Speaking of which, the encounter on the boat gave rise to a very cliché love story, a rich lady who ran away from home and met a man with a strange identity.
And I'm just a bystander. ” "We took Mingyue to Europe together, in Europe, after we finished our work, K accompanied her to travel around Europe, to Paris, to London, to Berlin, to Antwerp, when the three of us were together, very happy, like three good friends.
But I know very well that in the hearts of the two of them, I am a friend, but the relationship between the two of them is not a friend. ” "K is a very special man.
He is a firm organizer, loyal and extremely responsible, and has a natural sense of mission, he believes that the existence of the service club is to be responsible for watching the world and grasping our direction. ” "I believe that the love between them was pure in the beginning.
I would like to bless them.
Mingyue is a beautiful woman, she has a very kind heart, I think, she understands my feelings for her, but she never embarrass me.
She is very smart and knows how to handle things well, even when the three of us are together, she always has a charm in her and can make us get along very well.
At that time, K and I were only colleagues, but we were not friends. ” "But things changed, more than two years later.

They were married in Paris, and after they got married, K left almost all the things in the service club for the time being, and lived in seclusion with her on the banks of the Seine.
In those days, I would often look for opportunities to go on missions in Europe, and I would often visit them.
They have always been happy and live well.
I remember that year, I went to Paris, and it happened to be my birthday, and she gave me a pocket watch, which is this one.
But one day, two years after we had known each other, when I went to visit them again in Paris, things changed.
When I went, they already had a child, but when I went, I didn't see K, she was the only one left at home in Paris, and although she still smiled brightly at me, I could see that she was not happy, not at all. ” "Why," Chen Xiao asked.
"Because of Mingyue, she is not an ordinary person."
Lao Tian's voice was a little bitter.
"She's also an anomaly," Chen Xiao frowned.
"No, she's not an anomalous."
Lao Tian frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I'm not an expert in this area, but maybe you can understand it if I understand it this way."
There is something hidden in the genes of Mingyue's body, and this substance, if the partner she meets is also an ordinary person, or other abilities, will not produce any special results.
But by the way, she met K. ” Lao Tian smiled: "To give a chemical example, the composition of water is H2O.
Two different substances collide together, creating a chemical reaction that becomes a new substance.
And that incident was completely a coincidence, and I learned one thing afterwards: the genetic component in Mingyue's body happens to have a strange mutation with K's genetic component, and the probability of this coincidence is very, very small.
But in the vast world, the sea of people is vast, but Mingyue met K, and at the same time fell in love, combined, and had offspring.
And the offspring who inherited the genes of the two at the same time, the children who synthesized the genes of the two people, had a chemical reaction, that is, their offspring were superpowers, and the abilities were not simply inherited from k.
Rather, there were some new, then incomprehensible changes" "K's ability is to control time" Lao Tian's voice was serious: "This is a very powerful ability, there are almost no obvious weaknesses, and K with this ability has a very high status in the service community."
Results.
Their child, that is, not an ordinary person like Mingyue, nor a time ability like K, but the discovery of a completely new and very powerful new ability made K, who was originally addicted to love and was willing to live in seclusion, re-stimulate the fanatical sense of mission and responsibility in his heart.
He faced this new discovery, as if he had found a new path to the future of mankind Well, yes, that's what K said, that's what he said at the time, and that's what he answered when I asked. ” "What the hell is going on" Chen Xiao heard the deep sadness in Lao Tian's voice.
Lao Tian snuffed out the cigarette, sighed, and then raised his head to look at Chen Xiao: "What do you think is the biggest weakness in life for the current human race?"
Chen Xiao frowned, although he didn't understand Lao Tian's intentions, he still thought about it seriously: "Well, the individual is too fragile and has a short life."
"I mean, all human beings, including the Aliens," Lao Tian said lightly: "For the Aliens, the individual is not fragile, and some Aliens, such as me, also have a long lifespan.
However, even those with extraordinary abilities have one of the greatest weaknesses that cannot be bypassed, and this weakness is shared by all human beings. ” "What the hell is it?"
"Inheritance" Lao Tian said these two words categorically.
His speech began to quicken: "The inheritance of knowledge, the inheritance of ability, etc., etc., the inheritance of everything" Chen Xiao frowned: "I don't quite understand what you mean." ” Lao Tian looked at Chen Xiao's eyes, his eyes were a little weird: "Okay, let's say, alone."
No matter how strong his talent is, when a person comes into this world from birth, starting from a baby, all the way to growing up Chengren, and then learning all kinds of knowledge from the outside world, it takes a long process. ” He smiled and continued: "Let's just say that in our modern society, a normal person needs to receive more than ten years of school education before he can learn a set of basic civilization knowledge, whether it is mathematics, physics and chemistry or others.
And after studying in school for more than ten years, what I have learned is only some of the most basic and popular things, those advanced and cutting-edge knowledge, which are only the fields that a few elite people have the energy to study.
For example, an ordinary college student will learn advanced mathematics in mathematics, but if you continue to go up, for example, a college student will study physical chemistry, but it is only some relatively low theories, and it is far from being comparable with professional experts."
Chen Xiao frowned: "That's natural."
After all, manpower is sometimes exhausted, and it takes a lot of energy and a long time to delve into a field to profound. ” "However, this knowledge is all knowledge that has been discovered by human predecessors, and it is already something that exists, but it is no longer possible for human beings to master the knowledge and civilization left by their predecessors."
Lao Tian smiled: "For example, Einstein's theory of relativity, this is also the intellectual heritage of the ancestors, but for the vast majority of people in this world, they can't learn it at all, because they don't have the time, or the energy to learn these advanced things, even if they simply inherit the intellectual heritage left by their ancestors."
Lao Tian shook his head: "I said, a person has studied in school for more than ten years from childhood to adulthood, and he can only master a small part of the most basic and ordinary knowledge, and he can't learn all the cultural knowledge heritage left by his ancestors."
There are even terrible situations where a professional who has mastered a high level of knowledge in a particular field dies, but then there is no successor to a lot of knowledge in that field. ” He smiled bitterly: "For example, my children can't learn all the martial arts of my voice, there are many things, after I die, I'm afraid it will be lost, even if I use the written situation to pass it down, no one can finish it, just stay in writing, it is equivalent to being lost" Chen Xiao gradually guessed something in his heart: "So, what do you mean?"
"Inheritance is a very troublesome thing.
Nowadays, human civilization and knowledge inheritance can only rely on learning, spending energy, spending time, and also looking at talent.
And it takes more than ten years to learn some of the most basic and ordinary things, for most people, there can be more than ten years in a lifetime, and the speed is too slow and the efficiency is too low.
Lao Tian shook his head: "Especially in the era when K and Mingyue met, there were no computers in the world, there were no massive storage tools, even the inheritance of knowledge could only rely on writing and printing, so when K suddenly discovered such a new path, all the fanaticism in his heart was stimulated."
Chen Xiao swallowed and foamed: "So, in the end, what is the ability of Mingyue and K's children?"
"Copy" Lao Tian spat out these two short words. glanced at Chen Xiao again: "Thorough copying, complete copying, all the abilities, all knowledge, and all the wisdom that the parents have mastered, and directly copy them, from the moment they are born, they have strong knowledge and ability."
Lao Tian said in a low voice: "That child, is a girl, I saw her later, she was only two years old at the time, she could recite a lot of Tang poems, which she had never learned, but was born will, because Mingyue recited it when she was young, she almost didn't have to study, and she naturally inherited most of Mingyue and K's knowledge, and she also inherited K's ability without reservation.
But it has reached the level of an adult.
He said with a wry smile: "It's like copying content from one computer to another."
Chen Xiao's eyes widened It's amazing, it's just amazing But why did Chen Xiao start frowning then.

Such a magical thing sounds like a good thing, but why, I have a feeling of "terrible" in my heart Lao Tian closed his eyes.
He couldn't help but recall the day a hundred years ago, when he ran back to his homeland island in anger and found K in the laboratory, when he angrily accused him, that man, his face was very indifferent and resolute, and in the face of his accusations, he said coldly to himself: "This is a great discovery, if I succeed, it will completely change the future path of mankind, human beings will no longer have to spend more than ten years or even decades to learn the culture and knowledge left by their ancestors, but can directly inherit, can use more time and energy in life to open up, to open up, to pursue those unknown new things, will greatly accelerate the process of human civilization."
"What about Mingyue, what about your feelings, and her feelings?"
"I don't have time" K replied coldly at that time: "For the sake of the mission, I am willing to give up a woman."
I'm even willing to give up all my feelings, my life, all of my " At that time, Lao Tian pointed to the young girl in the laboratory: "What about her, she is your daughter, not an experiment" "I'm not my own anymore, let alone my daughter" Sighing, Lao Tian began to feel in his pocket again, as if he wanted to find another cigarette, but unfortunately he didn't find it, so he could only scratch his hair irritably, and then raised his eyelids and glanced at Chen Xiao: "You know, that K, what happened later?"
"I think he must have failed."
Chen Xiao frowned: "After all, his so-called inheritance has passed for a hundred years, but now it has not been realized." ” "Hmph."
Lao Tian smiled noncommittally: "So, do you know that K, what happened to him himself?"
Chen Xiao looked at Lao Tian.
"He's still alive."
Lao Tian sighed.
Chen Xiao frowned: "It's the same as you or the same as Zhurong and them" "He's still alive, and his current identity is" Lao Tian's smile was bitter: "In the service club, his identity is the king of playing cards" To be continued:
