Chapter 14: Service Society

The first person Chen Xiao saw was a woman in a black leather dress with long hair, soft facial outline and friendly eyes. She looked about thirty years old.

"How do you feel?"

"Fine." Chen Xiao's answer was calm, not as the woman expected, fearing that he would wake up panicked or hysterical --- which made the woman breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Chen Xiao even laughed, with a slightly strange tone: "Do you guys like to dress like this?"

Then he raised his hand and pointed to the woman's clothes.

Chen Xiao heard the woman's voice. She was Heisan, the "Three" who called herself and sent "her" to his home.

It's not a ward, it's a huge, empty house. Chen Xiao lay on a bed in the middle.

"I know you have a lot of questions now, but I think I can try to answer you." Heisan's tone was gentle: "You are safe now, son."

Chen Xiao looked at the woman with a faint smile: "I don't like being called a child very much." My parents never call me that...

Heisan smiled, and she gazed at Chen Xiao. "I know you were born on May 5, and your parents named you Xiaowu."

Chen Xiao shook his head: "I don't care what you call me... What I want now is a simple answer.

"You seem hostile to me. But I think you may have misunderstood me. I, and the woman who attacked you in your house, belong to the same organization. But we have nothing to do with the research institute where your parents were working - and the woman who attacked you, my colleague, just had some misunderstandings.

Heisan's expression was awkward. She sighed and her eyes were more compassionate. Such a look made Chen Xiao uncomfortable.

But soon Chen Xiao heard another voice.

A pleasant man's voice, the voice is very gentle and pleasant to listen to, but the tone of voice, but as if with so little bone of indifference.

Then he saw a face, a thin face, blue eyes, brown hair, and a blue suit. Chen Xiao's first impression was: clean!

There seemed to be no dust on his whole body. He was so refreshing that he was meticulous in showing a sharp white handkerchief corner in his front pocket of his suit.

And he laughed calmly, though his blue eyes were still cold.

"Mr. Chen Xiao, I promise that in the next half hour, most of your questions will be answered." The man appeared at Chen Xiao's bedside as if out of nowhere. He looked down at him and said, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Black-Jack. Of course, I have a Chinese name, Leihu.

The man smiled: "Actually, I really hate to meet people on such occasions... Because I am mainly responsible for dealing with some troubles. Once it's my turn to be on the stage, it's a sign of trouble - trouble is the last thing I like about myself.

He seemed to sigh, but his eyes were smiling: "You have brought me a lot of trouble this time. Not only did you let a member of my team break the rules for you, but you almost abolished one of my excellent men...

Black-Jack? What an odd name. Is this man running a casino?

However, after the appearance of this person, Heisan seemed to take two steps back in fear and stand aside honestly. It was as if the subordinate had met the superior.

"We... I mean me, and Black Three, and Red Seven saved you from the robbers yesterday... Of course, add the black seven who broke into the house. Yes, you're right. Her name is Black Seven. We all belong to the same organization... Well, you can understand that we are all employees of the same company." This fellow named Leihu laughed very well, with a deceptive affinity, especially his smile, as if in truth with a touch of Shyness - but Chen Xiao could see at a glance that the bone in his eyes was indifferent.

"You don't need to know the name of our organization for the time being. Generally speaking, our company does not exist in a sunny world. Or, according to your understanding, we can be regarded as a special institution. We have our own beliefs, our own ideas - of course, our own business scope. Leihu smiled shyly and seemed shy on his clean face: "After all, a company with so many people always wants to make money to eat."

"The beginning of this thing comes from Heisan." Leihu looked at Heisan standing aside, quiet as a cicada, and smiled faintly: "She accepted a commission from your parents, and without the permission of the company."

Heisan's body trembled apparently.

"She and your mother were alumni, graduated from MIT, Bioengineering PHD. Things have to start with your parents, who are very unlucky. They published an excellent paper more than a decade ago. They were looked at by a company and then absorbed into the Research Institute of that company. I think that organization is studying something. You should get the answer from your mother's diary. Leihu's voice was very light: "What I can tell you is that the company's research field is somewhat similar to that of our organization. But we are very different from their ideas. And... It can be said that we are much more advanced than them. Their research, in some places, is still at a relatively primitive level.

"Yes... About blue-blooded people? Or the weird ones... "Power"? Chen Xiao asked.

"That's all." Leihu murmured for a while, suddenly pulled out the white handkerchief from his chest pocket, gently wiped the corners of his mouth, and gently smiled: "In fact, you and I, all of us, are human beings. But in a sense, we have gone beyond the common definition of normal human beings. Or in a precise definition: we are a minority, but we are fortunate and unfortunate to be at the forefront of human evolution.

Leihu looked at Chen Xiao. "Evolution, do you understand?"

Chen Xiao nodded.

Leihu continued with a smile and said, "You should have a good knowledge base. After all, both your parents are experts in this field. Traditionally, the basic arrangement of human body is cells. The fission of cells and the arrangement of cells have a fixed pattern. And if these changes happen, then _____________ Something interesting will happen." Leihu's tone was so relaxed that he even blinked at Chen Xiao: "You've seen dominoes, once you push one of them, there will be a chain reaction."

"Um." Chen Xiao listened carefully.

"In fact, the evolution of human beings has not stopped, but has fallen into an awkward stagnation period, which is somewhat long, and there are some differences in the direction of evolution... Well, it can be said to be a fork in the road. Such subtle differences have created such a strange group of us as well as given us some interesting power. As you can see, the blue-blooded lady next to you is more sensitive to electricity, and the woman who injured you, one of my cadres who has now been abolished by you, has the ability to control the air.

"But you are still human." Chen Xiao added coldly.

"Yes! This is exactly the idea of our organization. We are human." When Leihu said this, his expression was very serious: "Our company has existed for a long time, since two and a half centuries ago. We are a group at the forefront of human evolution, but we do not feel that we can override the whole human race. The organization was founded two hundred and fifty years ago. It used to have a name called Service Society.

Then Leihu looked into Chen Xiao's eyes and said, "Very interesting name, isn't it?"

"Very interesting." Chen Xiao answered with a flat face.

"Service agencies, as can be seen from this name, the organization was established to bring together our fellow citizens, and then we can help each other and rely on each other. As you know, the common denominator of most human beings is that there is always some inexplicable fear of unknown new things. You Chinese people have a saying, "Wood shows in the forest, wind will destroy it", right?

Chen Xiao nodded: "Your Chinese is very good."

"Thank you." Leihu sighed: "Historically, people like us have often been hostile to the whole society, because the strength of individuals always leads to panic of other human beings or... Hatred, people like us, can easily be regarded as alien by society and be hated or feared. So we have to find as many peers as we can, and then we can all unite and depend on each other - and then we can save ourselves as much as possible. With that, Leihu's tone became serious: "But it must be said that we still regard ourselves as human beings, and we also hope that others will treat us as human beings!" Not monsters."

Chen Xiao moved for a while and changed his posture. He had a faint feeling for Leihu in his heart.

"We are just a group of people who can't help but walk at the forefront of evolution, or a group of lucky people. But we don't want to change anything, we don't want to control anything. Leihu sighed, "So our organization has taken on a lot of responsibility for this."

"Why?" Chen Xiao frowned.

"As I said just now, we are a group of lucky people, but at the same time... We are not the only lucky ones. Moreover, we are not the only 'organization' in the world. Leihu blinked at Chen Xiao.

Soon, Chen Xiao understood what he said.

As Leihu said, these people are at the forefront of human evolution, and have acquired some superhuman powers - then, this kind of crowd certainly exists, and there must be a lot of them. Some powers may join the organization and be constrained by the organization.

But surely, there must be some unknown powers in the world --- there are always some people who can ignore laws, morals and rules when they find themselves standing on the top of the vast majority of the world --- in such circumstances, it is not difficult to imagine what will happen.
