Chapter 674

Mei tried to lean back on the office chair with a pipe in his mouth. The cut tobacco in the pipe had been burned out. He was still breathing there, but he couldn't spit out a trace of smoke.

Mei Ziqing knocked on the door and came in. He was startled. His pipe fell on his chest and beat on his clothes with his violent cough.

"Professor, you said you couldn't smoke any more. Why don't you listen!"

Mei Ziqing put down the lunch box in her hand, helped him pick up his pipe and put it on the table. She glanced at the computer on her desk. There was a video window on the screen, playing a documentary about the change of the earth's environment.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough

The professor became excited.

Mei Ziqing shook her head reluctantly, opened the lunch box on the table and said, "it's time to eat. Today there's your favorite shredded silver fish."

The professor coughed as if speechless, but reached out to the table to touch his pipe. Mei Ziqing did not stop him any more. He helped him pick up his pipe, skillfully changed the cut tobacco, and said, "only two bites are allowed. Eat immediately after smoking."

The professor was still coughing and took his pipe. He neither lit the fire nor spoke. Mei Ziqing stood quietly and waited, just as respectful as when she first came to Mei's laboratory.

After a while, Mei Tui coughed better, but she was still a little excited. Her chest heaved and gasped: "OK, you're not my assistant anymore. Send me to the welfare home! Let me accept the judgment of the end with those childless old friends!"

"Professor..." Mei Ziqing cried sadly and looked wronged.

Mei Tui calmed down slowly. Looking at the poor Mei Ziqing, she sighed and said: "In recent years, your achievements are obvious to all. You are already a qualified scientist. I can retire at ease. You are not my servant and don't have to take care of my daily life. Work well. If you don't trust me, you can find me a nanny. Oh, it's best not to nag. I don't like nagging!"

Mei Ziqing said, "Professor, you gave me everything I have today. Besides, no one knows you except me. How can I rest assured to give you to them!"

Mei tried to stop talking, put down her pipe, picked up her chopsticks and opened the lunch box. Seeing that he was like this, Mei Ziqing smiled and said, "take your time." then she turned and went out.

Mei Tuo just waved her hand, but her eyes kept staring at the screen. What Mei Ziqing didn't notice was that the video suddenly changed the picture, and the beautiful scenery in the original documentary disappeared. In one of the generation's humble live broadcasting rooms, sitting in the live broadcasting room was an old lady with a kind face and elegant manners.

"Selena..." Mei asked softly.

……

Dickinson sat on the sofa in the living room, staring nervously at the TV. Due to the lump behind his neck, he couldn't lean on the back of the sofa, so he had to sit straight.

When today's business is over, I'll have surgery to take out the damn chip. He thinks so. It's impossible to predict how the world will develop next. I'm afraid his old bone can't help any more. It's good to spend his old age in peace. In the future, I can really enjoy fishing in Stanley Park.

As for Selena, he couldn't know what she would face. Since she made such a choice at the beginning, she was doomed to no peace for the rest of her life.

Completely accepting a real consciousness is not as simple as implanting a chip. The chip can be easily taken out, but Selena's consciousness cannot be driven away, because she and Selena have long been integrated, or she has not been the original Selena since accepting the parasitic consciousness.

Selena is dead and alive. Another intruder. The parasite has already occupied the magpie's nest and has become a new master. It is because of this that she decided to break up with Mei at the beginning.

Dickinson felt a little more uneasy at the thought of Mayday.

That proud and stubborn Chinese Mei once made a big show in Princeton and captured the heart of the equally proud Selena. But now, he is already old and has given everything for his career.

Dickinson clearly knows that Mei Tui is the heaviest one on everyone's shoulders. Even he has not yet fully understood Mei Tui's true identity. However, this does not prevent them from becoming best friends and most trusted comrades in arms, fighting side by side for a common ideal and the future of all mankind.

The three of them chose different tripartite camps for the same purpose and have helped each other tacitly for decades. Compared with the other two, Dickinson felt much easier and naturally regretted that her value was somewhat smaller.

He smiled with self mockery. He seemed to see the tall and handsome Sequoia in Stanley Park and the white clouds wandering on the sea. He began to yearn for a leisurely day. Maybe one day, the three old friends can get together again, sit by the sea, enjoy the afterglow of the sunset and talk about the long past.

A sitcom called "there is a you in my brain" is playing on TV. This play is created with parasitic consciousness as the background. It tells the story of a football player's brain being invaded by a female consciousness and changing from a majestic player to a woman.

This is the most popular sitcom after the big bang theory. Shrewd American TV businessmen began to prepare the drama the year Lester's last words were announced. The first season was broadcast the next year, and now it is the sixth season. Of course, the plot has also changed from the funny scenes on the competition field and the warmth after returning home in the first season to the confrontation between humans and aliens, as well as the contradictory choice between the parasite's own race and mankind.

Of course, with the urine of Americans, most of them will be photographed as alien invasion, and the earth is facing destruction. The protagonist will come forward to persuade the two ethnic groups to negotiate peace, but the war is inevitable because of aliens and human militants. The protagonist finally turned into a superhero, eliminated these belligerent evil elements and saved mankind.

Although such a story is stereotypical, it inadvertently coincides with the current real situation.

Dickinson looked at it and couldn't help laughing. Isn't this protagonist Selena?! However, she is not a football player loved by Americans, but an old lady who likes pets in Florida. This is somewhat different from the mainstream values of the United States.

Just then, the TV picture suddenly switched to a simple live studio. Selena sat in the studio, smiling and looking gently at the camera.

Dickinson felt that Selena's eyes could go straight through the screen, and a trace of imperceptible spiritual power shot out and dispersed in the air. This power is very weak, but it is enough to affect ordinary people to focus their attention and stare at this extraordinary moment.

In order to verify whether the Internet has fulfilled its promise, Dickinson picked up the remote control and began to change channels. No matter which station you change to, the TV screen is fixed in that picture. Dickinson was still worried. He opened his mobile phone and opened a video software at will. When he found that the home page directly jumped out of the same video screen.

He felt the lump at the back of his neck with satisfaction.

At the moment, probably all people who are watching TV and using the Internet have noticed this strange video picture and the ordinary and extraordinary old lady in the picture.

After a minute or so of silence, Selena spoke:

"Hello, comrades, human friends! I'm glad to talk to you here. I'm the second leader of the son of Gaia. Yes, I'm what you call the 'parasite'! My name is Selena..."
