after falling asleep

Chapter 294 34. Eternal Life Society

Darwin Harris had a great name and a great family.

He lives on Venus.A vast plain: the lowlands of the Aitalanta Plain.

Like most conservative citizens of Venus, the Harris family has barely left the plain of millions of square kilometers.

Therefore, local citizens will stay in the local area for a lifetime, and at the same time they are more conservative.

As one of the first two planets colonized by humans, Venus is far less open than Mars.This may also be related to Venus's vast land and sparse population.It is also related to its rising or setting of the sun every 100 days.

The slow rotation speed of this planet allows the humans on it to communicate slowly.

Darwin was born on such a planet, such a family.The pastures and grasslands at home are enough for his son to inherit his father's business, and he can live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing.

However, the reality is always somewhat different from the imagination.

His parents immigrated 30 years ago.For the citizens who lived in this area at that time, and the pace of life was extremely slow, 30 years ago was about the same as 30 days ago.

It was a new neighbor who just moved in.

So when he was old enough, after Darwin started primary school, he found that there were no enthusiastic children in the school.

Darwin was sidelined by the kids who had known him for a long time.No one in the small circle of girls who had known him for a long time was forbidden to approach Darwin.

Little kids always do that.There is no distinction between good and evil, good and bad, and there are only two things in mind when doing anything: "This is fun, and that is not fun."

Isolate a foreigner child?This game is amazing.

So Darwin spent his primary school years alone.

Of course his parents knew about this kind of thing, but they knew better that this kind of thing needs to be solved by themselves.Family meddling only makes things worse.

When he got to high school, he thought things would get better.He will have friends who can be with each other, and he will meet a girl he likes.

In the end, he found that he still thought too much.

Darwin begins to suffer from bullying.

All men are created equal - don't be fooled by this eighteenth century work, a line from the Declaration of Independence.In fact, in the era when this sentence was born, slavery was legal.Human trafficking is protected by the government.Women have no human rights.

However, after the 20th century, human beings have been working hard in this direction.

After hundreds of years of educational evolution, human beings have just emerged from this state of bullying their own kind.But there are always some small problems, such as Darwin's classmates-and their tutors are not very good.

So he was bullied badly in high school, and he never communicated with anyone.I stay in my room all day and rely on games to get by.

Then 10 years passed.

On this day, at the age of 25, he has become a federal adult male.His grades kept him out of a college education.One day, he heard that an organization called the Eternal Life Society was recruiting members.This was posted by someone in the chat group of his high school classmates.

Of course he won't be there.

Only two weeks later, he received an interview notice, and Yongsheng would inform him that he would take the space elevator to an address in the floating city in the atmosphere at 8:[-] tomorrow morning.

There is no doubt that his high school classmates signed him up.

They are not doing Darwin good, they just often do this kind of thing—for example, put Darwin’s contact information on same-sex dating websites, and sign up for Darwin’s school to explore [-] meters underground.

He wasn't going to go, but because of something that happened last night, he decided to attend the interview.

He wants his parents to be proud of him.

……

"That's why I hate coming to Venus."

Sending off an interviewer, a blond petite woman in a dark gold dress hugged her chest and complained at the interview table. "Prudish and self-righteous, a shepherd who considers himself an aristocrat."

After finishing speaking, she rolled her eyes at Joyce: "Don't remind me, I know this can't represent everyone. But please let me vent."

Owen on the other side shouted: "Next, Darwin."

The door was pushed open, and a somewhat cautious young man walked into the room with very small steps.

He sat on the chair, only daring to let his butt touch the edge.

Owen flipped through Darwin's delivery materials, and then raised his eyebrows: "You didn't write this, did you?"

Darwin's body froze, and he answered with great difficulty: "My classmates like to tease me."

"Understood." Owen closed the file and raised his chin. "Then you just leave."

Darwin nodded stiffly, and walked towards the door with heavy steps.

His hand gripped the doorknob, opened the gap, and was closed again.

Darwin mustered up the courage to ask, "Can I join perpetual...will I?"

Darwin, who forgot his name, was so nervous that he was about to pass out.

"It's the Eternal Life Society." Owen reminded.

"Can I join the Eternal Life...?"

"Okay." Owen put the document aside. "Tell me about you, why do you want to join the Eternal Life Society?"

The woman who complained aloud earlier did not appear to be mocking.

Darwin walked back to the chair and did not sit down.That would make him more nervous.

"I want to help my parents."

Owen nodded: "Most of us think so, are there others?"

"Can I tell a story?"

Owen made a gesture of please.

Darwin told the story of being bullied since he was a child and becoming autistic and introverted.

He has always wanted to escape reality.Until late last night, Darwin was playing an augmented reality game in his bedroom.There is a very difficult level, and he can't pass it no matter what.

I was angry and anxious, but my parents didn't dare to make a loud noise while sleeping next door.

Until one time he finally passed it smoothly, the joy of overcoming the difficulty made him yell with all his strength.

The father was awakened by the shout and rushed into the house.Seeing his son just playing games, he complained: "I have to work tomorrow."

Darwin apologized, but he was still excited and started to show off: "I just successfully landed in Normandy with only minor injuries!"

After he finished speaking, he calmed down. Father doesn't play games and doesn't know what Normandy is.

But this did not prevent his father from being happy for him. He shouted out of the bedroom: "It's okay, mother, our son has landed in Normandy!"

"Good boy," the mother called from across the room.

Then they went back to sleep, and Darwin did too.

When he got up at noon the next day, he saw a cake in the kitchen with the words: "You landed in Normandy".

"They want to be proud of me." Darwin burst into tears, determination through his swollen eyes. "So I'm going to make them proud of me."

The blond said, "So you're a wretch, nerd, Luthor, and no one cares about your wretch?"

"...Yes." Darwin sniffed and rubbed his sleeves over his eyes indiscriminately.The button of the sleeve left a red mark across the eye. "Not anymore."

"A man of courage."

Joyce nodded.

"Welcome to the Eternal Life Society.
