Mei Yiqiu leaned on the office chair with a pipe in his mouth. The tobacco in the pipe had been burned out. He was still inhaling without a trace of smoke.

Mei Ziqing knocked on the door and came in. He was taken aback, and the pipe fell on his chest, jumping on his clothes as he coughed violently.

"Professor, I said you can't smoke anymore, why don't you listen!"

Mei Ziqing put down the lunchbox she was carrying, helped him pick up the pipe, and put it on the table. She glanced at the computer on the table. A video window was open on the screen, and a documentary about the changes in the earth's environment was playing.

"Cough cough cough... old problems... cough cough... don't... cough cough... just ignore me! Don't let me smoke... cough cough... let me die!"

The professor became excited.

Mei Ziqing shook his head helplessly, opened the lunch box on the table and said: "It's time to eat, today I have your favorite whitebait shreds."

The professor kept coughing, as if speechless, but reached out to the table and touched his pipe. Mei Ziqing didn't stop him anymore, helped him pick up the pipe, changed the tobacco skillfully, and said: "Only two puffs are allowed. Eat immediately after smoking."

The professor was still coughing and took the pipe without lighting or talking. Mei Ziqing stood there quietly and waited, just as respectful as she was when she first came to Mei's laboratory.

After a while, Mei Yiqiu coughed better, but she was still agitated, her chest was rising and falling, and she yelled with a little breath: "Okay, you are no longer my assistant, send me to the orphanage! Let me Accept the doomsday trial with those old boys and girls without children!"

"Professor..." Mei Ziqing screamed sadly, aggrieved.

Mei Yiqiu calmed down slowly, looked at the pitiful Mei Ziqing, took a long breath, and said, "In recent years, your achievements are obvious to all. You are already a qualified scientist, and I can retire with peace of mind. You are not my servant. You don’t have to take care of my diet and daily life. Work hard. If you don’t worry about me, you can find me a babysitter. Oh, it’s better not to nag, I don’t like it. nagging!"

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

Mei Yiqiu stopped talking, put down the pipe, picked up the chopsticks, and opened the lunch box. Seeing him like this, Mei Ziqing smiled and said, "Then you can use it slowly." He turned around and went out.

Mei Yiqiu just waved his hand, but kept staring at the screen. What Mei Ziqing didn't notice was that the video at this moment suddenly changed the picture. The beautiful scenery in the original documentary was gone. One of the generation's simple live broadcast rooms, sitting in the live broadcast room, was a kind-looking and elegant man. old lady.

"Selena..." Mei Yiqiu whispered.

...

Dickinson sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the TV a little nervously. He couldn't lean on the back of the sofa chair because of the swelling behind his neck, so he could only sit upright.

When today's affairs are over, I will have surgery to take out the **** chip. He thought so. How the world will develop in the future is unpredictable. I am afraid that his old bones will not be of much help. It would be good to spend his old age in this way. From now on, you can really enjoy the fun of fishing in Stanley Park.

As for Selena, he couldn't know what she was going to face. The choice she made from the beginning was destined to be unable to find peace in 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 the consciousness in Selena cannot be driven away, because she and Selena have long been integrated, or since she accepted the parasitic consciousness, she is no longer the original Selena.

Selena is dead, and alive, is another intruder. The parasite has already occupied the magpie's nest and has become the new owner. It was precisely because of this that she decisively broke up with Mei Yi.

Thinking of May Yiqiu, Dickinson became a little more uneasy.

That proud and stubborn Chinese Mei once made a big splash in Princeton and captured the heart of the equally proud Selena. But now, he is also very old, and he has given all of his own for his career.

Dickinson clearly knew that May Yiqiu was the heaviest one of all people. Even he has not yet fully figured out the true identity of Mei Yiqiu. But this does not prevent them from becoming the best friends, the most trustworthy comrades-in-arms, fighting side by side for a common ideal and the future of all mankind.

The three of them have chosen different tripartite camps, but for the same purpose, they have worked together for decades to help each other. In comparison, Dickinson feels that he is much more relaxed than the other two, and naturally regrets that his value is a bit smaller.

He laughed mockingly. As if seeing the handsome redwoods in Stanley Park and the white clouds wandering on the sea, he began to yearn for a leisurely day. Maybe one day, three old friends can reunite again, sitting on the beach enjoying the afterglow of the sunset, and recounting the long past.

A sitcom called "There's You in My Head" is playing on TV. This drama is created with the parasitic consciousness as the background. It tells the story of a rugby player's brain being invaded by a female consciousness, from a majestic player to a woman.

This is the most popular sitcom after "TheBigBangTheory". The savvy American TV businessman began preparing for the TV series in the year that Leicester's last words were announced. The first season was broadcast in the second year, and it is now the sixth season. Of course, the plot has changed from the funny scenes in the first season of the game and the warmth after returning home to the confrontation between humans and aliens, and the parasite's contradictory choice between his own race and humans. .

Of course, based on American urinary nature, it is likely that aliens will invade, and the earth is facing destruction. The protagonist comes forward to persuade the two races to negotiate peace, but the militants among the aliens and humans made war unavoidable. The protagonist finally becomes a superhero, destroying these militant evil elements and saving mankind.

Although such a story is clichéd, it unintentionally coincides with the current real situation secretly.

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

At this moment, the TV screen suddenly switched to a simple live broadcast room~lightnovelpub.net~ Selena was sitting in the live broadcast room, smiling and looking at the camera gently.

Dickinson felt that Selena's eyes could go straight through the screen, and a trace of imperceptible mental power shot out and diffused in the air. This power is very weak, but it is enough to affect ordinary people, allowing them to concentrate 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 switch channels. No matter which station you switch to, the TV screen is fixed on that screen. Dickinson still felt uneasy. Turning on the phone, he randomly opened a video software, and found that the same video screen popped up directly on the homepage.

He was relieved and touched the swelling on the back of his neck with satisfaction.

At this moment, probably everyone who is watching TV and using the Internet has noticed this weird video picture and the ordinary and extraordinary-looking old lady in the picture.

After about a minute of silence, Selena spoke:

"Comrades, human friends, hello! I am very happy to be here to talk to you, I am the second leader of the'Son of Gaia', yes, it is what you call the'parasite'! My name is Sai Linna..."
