Nightmare wake up

Chapter 7 Parade
Shen Mi nodded solemnly, this does contain risks - if you use the contract ability often, if there is any accident, you can't pay the contract price, and the result is doomed to tragedy - or the headache will lead to death, or the death will disappear, and it will become A perfect body.

Often walking by the river, who can guarantee to be dry all the time?
Luo Qing, who was driving in front, had been listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help laughing out loud. Without turning his head, he reminded softly: "Uncle Cat's ability to make up fairy tales is first-rate... In the future, there will be kittens that will not lack childhood education."

"Go away, who wants to give birth to kittens... I'm a human being." The fat cat was dissatisfied with the other's punctuation.

Luo Qing sympathetically looked at Shen Mi behind him through the rearview mirror, and reminded: "Don't take the story Uncle Cat made up seriously, he said it casually... Elves don't exist, only in legends."

It turned out to be just a legend, made up by the fat cat... Shen Mi had to recall the word "elf" again, and found that it really only existed in the legend and the writings of contemporary novelists, and couldn't help guessing which of the stories just now were legends and which were The cat was invented on the basis of legend.

The fat cat said to Luo Qing proudly: "This is called imagination, isn't it! Do you have such a good imagination?"

"I'm a writer cat!"

Seeing Fat Cat's arrogant appearance, Shen Mi chuckled, lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds before asking a second question: "Mr. Fat Cat, is it random to awaken to become a Contractor? Why does Pandora Agency ask ordinary ironmen Hide the fact that the contractor exists?"

"First of all... Meow... don't call me Fat Cat." Fat Cat looked at Shen Mo with dissatisfaction, then pointed at Luo Qing who was driving with his cat's paw and said, "You are about the same age as him, call me Uncle Cat like him."

After that, Uncle Cat nodded affirmatively: "It's random... It all depends on luck, if you are lucky, you will become a contractor."

Just after speaking, the cat seemed to think of something again, fell into deep thought, and muttered in a trance after a long time:

"If you are unlucky, you will become a contractor... That's right."

Awakening to become a Contractor, good luck and bad luck can be said... Shen Mi thought deeply.

"As for why the Pandora Agency concealed the existence of the Contractor, you should be able to imagine... The ironmen pursue freedom and fairness, although these things have never existed... Hehe, once it is announced that someone has superpowers, the Contractor is easy to be taken by others. Hostility, why do you have powers... Meow... I don't!"

"The iron people themselves are conservative and mad cruel species, they will not agree that someone is inherently stronger than themselves, and the result must be that the contractor will become an alien - if the iron people can really tolerate all this, then the ancient legends Why did the elves disappear in today's continent..."

Sure enough, this is the same as his own speculation. Once the extraordinary ability appears, the confrontation between the extraordinary and the ordinary is inevitable... Shen Mi paused for a while, and then asked the third question:
"Is the rune energy that Pandora masters related to the contractor?"

Hearing this question, Luo Qing turned back involuntarily and looked at Uncle Cat...

"Meow..." Uncle Cat stretched, and at the same time the long cat meowed, "I don't know."

do not know? !

Seeing Uncle Cat raised his body and turned his head to look outside the car, Luo Qing also returned to his shy look, and seemed to have completely ignored his own problems. ...Behind the ignorance, in addition to being really unclear, there are situations such as not being able to say, not daring to say, and so on, and now Uncle Cat and Luo Qing are obviously the latter.

Can't say?Still dare not say?Shen Mi suddenly became interested in this deliberate concealment, and sighed in her heart: "If only Luo Sheng could read micro-expressions, it would be great, so that he could see through the two lying."... Thinking of this, Shen Mi was almost taken aback. I laughed stupidly...

Isn't reading micro-expressions just to see through the real thoughts? I've already awakened, and I have the superpower of telepathy, which is more direct and powerful than any micro-expressions... It seems that I haven't adapted to the identity of the contractor yet, but the first thing I thought of was Luo Sheng, not his own ability.

However, don't try to eavesdrop on the voices of the two to get the answer. Both of them are law enforcers in the Contractor's World, and I am just a newcomer who is not satisfied with 24 hours, no, 28 hours. Shen Mi resolutely gave up using ability The idea of ​​getting the answer - to activate the ability needs to touch the body of two people, so the intention is too obvious...

Moreover, this question is not absolutely necessary, it is just pure curiosity, and the motivation to take risks to find the answer is slightly insufficient.

Luo Qing turned a corner along the street and chatted with one person and one cat behind:
"The electricity generated by Fuyuan Energy has greatly promoted the development of science and technology. The life of the ironmen is changing rapidly... Electric cars, telephones, electric lights, these things have become popular in recent decades... My grandfather often talks about using fish oil as a child. Deng, it's all about riding an ox-carriage into the city... oh my god."

"That era was really boring..." Uncle Cat relaxed into a ball and looked very comfortable: "The electric light appeared when I was a child, but even now, there are still poor people who can only use fish oil or sheep oil lamps..."

"I think the biggest progress is in nightclubs and karaoke halls. This is an epoch-making innovation!" Speaking of this, Uncle Cat regained his vigor and said excitedly:
"You two children haven't been there yet! Meow~~~ Rich nightlife, there are many beautiful young girls, enthusiastic and unrestrained."

"I'm a nightclub cat!"

"Don't worry, Xiaoqing, I'll take you there next time, meow... Wait for me to finish teaching this guy."

Luo Qing seemed to understand the hidden meaning of the old cat's words, and his shy face suddenly turned red, and Shen Mi could just see it in the rearview mirror.

It's just that Shen Mi couldn't help but complain... Don't worry, at this speed, we will soon enter the information age, which is much more exciting than now. You can't understand how attractive online games are!
While talking, Shen Mi became interested in the cat's age and asked, "Uncle Cat, how old are you this year?"

"38..." Fat Miao hadn't recovered from the nightclub vision, and said casually, "Uncle Cat has three eighty-one flowers..."

.........

The Requan City Public Security Bureau is located in the western suburbs, and the wealthy area in the eastern suburbs where Shen Mi lives almost traverses the entire city. It took a lot of time for electric cars to enter the eastern suburbs.

Luo Qing looked at his watch with a 28-hour scale and said that it would be there in half an hour.

The population density of the wealthy area is not large, but the traffic flow on the road has increased significantly, but when the electric vehicle turns, a large number of ironmen suddenly appear on the road.

These people are dressed in different clothes, and there are people of all skin colors. They block the entire road in a mighty manner. The people in front hold up banners, and the people in the back follow. , kitchen knife, pole, shovel, steel fork, wrench... everything.

A young woman in a white shirt raised a horn and shouted loudly. Every time she shouted, the people behind her shouted in unison, which was very powerful...

As they got closer, Shen Mi could see the big characters on the banner—

"We want Fuyuan energy, we oppose nuclear energy!"

"Nuclear power is the devil, the disaster of the Ironborn!"

And everyone shouted in unison:
"Against the coalition government's continued nuclear tests, we don't need nuclear energy!"

"The future of the ironmen lies in the source energy!"

"The source energy is safe!"

It's... a parade!Oppose the coalition government to develop nuclear energy?Shen Mi probably guessed the scene in front of her.

There were thousands of ironmen in the parade, and no one dared to stop them. Some police officers from the public security department had appeared in the distance, but there were only a dozen of them, and they didn't dare to approach. They could only drive to follow the parade from a distance. of the people…

"Here again..." Luo Qing, who was driving, had to slow down and parked the car on the side of the road, waiting for the parade to pass by, and couldn't help muttering softly.

"This is the eighth day in a row..." Uncle Cat continued to lean on the back seat nonchalantly: "However, Hot Springs City Hall should have thought that today's parade would be more serious, why didn't you make preparations earlier?"

"The city hall is also embarrassed, such a large-scale parade." Luo Qing muttered.

"Why is it more serious today?" Shen Mi asked Uncle Cat for advice.

"It's very simple..." Uncle Cat straightened up: "Yesterday, the Alliance Academy of Natural Sciences conducted a nuclear test in Tieshan City in the northern province, and it exploded. The news was not blocked, and it was published in the newspaper..."

"Since the alliance government and Pandora jointly issued a statement a week ago, they are ready to rely on the Alliance Academy of Natural Sciences to carry out nuclear energy attempts, the people do not know why they have started to panic, and almost all cities in the entire alliance have spontaneously organized demonstrations to resist the use of nuclear energy - yesterday The explosion catalyzed a wave of resistance."

"Oh! That's how it is..." Shen Mi nodded, this was the ironman's fear of new things...

It is easy to understand that no matter what era, people have fears about the development of science and technology.

Thinking that the Inspectorate where the Punisher team is located is almost equivalent to the special forces of the Public Security Administration, Shen Mi asked, "Is the Inspectorate not involved in maintaining public order?"

"Of course not! The management of the Iron People's society is the business of the alliance government, and our Supervision Office is only responsible for matters related to contractors..." Uncle Cat smiled, and his eyes suddenly squinted: "For example, the Supervision Office may find out The culprit of incitement!"

"The culprit?" Luo Qing asked in confusion.

"Why do the people march? The purpose of the march is to resist the nuclear test. What is the reason for resisting the nuclear test? Because the iron people are afraid of the harm caused by nuclear energy... Think about it." Uncle Cat's eyes narrowed into a line again: "The iron people How did they know the dangers of nuclear energy? The statement was only issued a day ago, and even the people in our Ombudsman do not know what nuclear energy is. Why do people feel afraid of nuclear energy?

"You mean..." Luo Qing opened his mouth in surprise: "Someone deliberately spread the danger of nuclear energy to the ironmen?"
