Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

Tan Qiu's security level has obviously been raised again. Ji Shumiao is only followed by Yinlang and Yinxiao in turn, but Tan Qiu has a dozen people around him.

A hotpot restaurant temporarily closed for this reason. Security personnel carefully checked the private rooms and confirmed that there were no monitoring devices before allowing them to dine. Several adjacent private rooms were also empty and were guarded by special personnel. Two plainclothes special forces equipped with real weapons stood inside and outside the door.

Ji Shumiao wanted to arrange for them to go to the private room next door to eat some hotpot, but was coldly rejected by their captain.

Tan Qiu leaned on Ji Yu bonelessly and yawned sleepily: "They won't eat it, don't persuade them, hurry up and get someone to serve the food."

According to the rules, Yinlang and Yinxiao should not eat with Ji Shumiao to prevent the security personnel and the protected objects from being poisoned at the same time. But the two of them... chose to take turns eating, after all, the food at Ji's house was so delicious.

The dishes, milk tea and even hot pot base were all checked one by one before being sent in.

Ji Shumiao sighed: "Your show is even more exaggerated than that of the big boss grandfather."

Tan Qiu stared at the bottom of the hot pot that hadn't yet boiled, and swallowed slightly: "The big leader is gone, and there will be a new big leader. If I'm gone, I'm gone."

This statement was truly outrageous, but Ji Shumiao didn't know how to refute it.

Tan Qiu leaned back against Ji Yu again: "In the past two years, my brain has been getting better and better. If there is a pinnacle of human brain evolution, it must be me."

A culmination, not an end.

Ji Yu squeezed her hand and didn't interrupt.

Ji Shumiao asked the previous question, is there any way to make people improve to above average level in a short period of time.

Tan Qiu: “A lot in theory.”

Ji Shumiao: "What about the actual situation?"

Tan Qiu spread his hands in a scoundrelly manner: "How should I know? I was born with it anyway."

Ji Shumiao: "..."

The hot pot soup base finally boiled, the heat and aroma lingered, and the air conditioner above my head was whirring.

Boil a big piece of tripe and eat it, then take a big sip of milk tea - so refreshing!

Tan Qiu made a sound like a satisfied cat: "Free air, one breath less."

While they were chatting, Ji Yu was silently and attentively serving and picking up the dishes.

Ji Shumiao: "Don't say such discouraging words, it's not like you will never be able to get out again."

“My files were leaked.”

Tan Qiu calmly threw out a thunderbolt.

Ji Shumiao: "What?!"

Tan Qiu looked at her with a gloating look: "My files can be leaked, so what about yours? Is there any suspense?"

Ji Shumiao's head was full of questions: "Is the enemy really in the headquarters?"

Tan Qiu nodded slightly: "Do you think this is a joke?"

No wonder, Ji Shumiao thought, no wonder in Tongtong’s memory of his previous life, the government at the beginning of the apocalypse was in chaos and out of power.

Tan Qiu: "When I came out today, I took a look at the locator that the sister behind you sent to the research institute. It is the latest model of the US military."

Ji Shumiao raised his hand: "Report, I also want a dozen bodyguards!"

"Refute it." Tan Qiusu waved her hand, "Do you think it's a good thing to have a dozen bodyguards following you? When you applaud for love, they will suddenly rush in to see if you have been killed in bed."

Ji Yu, who was concentrating on cooking the dishes, suddenly burst into a violent coughing fit, his face turned red and he had difficulty breathing.

Ji Shumiao scratched his forehead and said, "I'm still young, this is not appropriate for children."

Tan Qiu glanced at her with disdain: "You are already three years old in your last life and this life, you are so shy, you bubble teapot."

Ji Shumiao raised his chin: "Humph! Who made me a loli?"

Tan Qiu sighed: "It was not easy for me to come out this time. The next time I see you, I guess you will be a middle-aged woman."

"I'm afraid I won't see such good sunshine again in the future."

Ji Shumiao added with some confusion.

Ji Yu, who was eating tripe, suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling with excitement of meeting a soulmate: "You also watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?"

No wonder he could blurt it out and it felt so familiar. Ji Shumiao nodded sincerely: "I saw it."

Saw this in my previous life.

Afraid that the topic would go too far, Ji Shumiao took the initiative to talk about his adventures in Kunlun Mountain, from dreaming about whales to the crazy soldiers by the Yaochi Lake, and then to getting lost because of the special magnetic field and almost losing his life there.

Ji Shumiao described it in great detail. Tan Qiu listened while eating the food Ji Yu picked for her. Whenever Ji Shumiao thought she was not listening, she would respond to Ji Shumiao in time.

After Ji Shumiao finished speaking, he asked cautiously and tentatively: "Tell me, if we use science to explain these things, what is going on?"

Tan Qiu did not answer her, but asked: "What do you think science is?"

Ji Shumiao tried hard to recall the definition in the textbook: "It is a systematic and theoretical knowledge system, a social activity that creates knowledge, and also a social institution."

Tan Qiu defines it more succinctly: “Science is the process by which humans interpret the unknown with their own cognition.”

Tan Qiu was tired from eating, so he sighed and took a break before continuing, "No one can be sure that 'cognition' is correct and 'interpretation' is also correct. 1+1=2 is defined by humans themselves. If one day it is proven that 1+1=2 is not true, the human scientific system will become a ruin."

“In the coexistence of doubt and conviction, human beings continue to expand the boundaries of science.”

Countless people have dedicated their lives to a building that could collapse at any time because of their faith.

Ji Shumiao: "...I've said so much, but you just don't know."

Tan Qiu shrugged and said frankly: "I don't know. There are so many things I don't know, such as why you were reborn, do you know it yourself?"

Ji Shumiao imitated her and shrugged: "I don't know."

Since rebirth was mentioned, Ji Shumiao had to ask: "Do you think there are other reborn people in this world?"

Tan Qiu swallowed the shrimp slip in his mouth: "I did before, but I don't know now."

"before?"

"In 82, I also heard about it from my seniors in the research institute."

Ji Shumiao was curious and asked, "How is that person now?"

"died."

"Eh?"

Tan Qiu: "That man thought he was the star of the world, and he was so arrogant that he broke all kinds of laws and disciplines, including smuggling and gangsterism. He was responsible for many deaths, and was finally caught and shot."

Ji Shumiao: "...This looks like a villain's script."

"He didn't reveal much useful information before he died," Tan Qiu said with regret, "but he did clarify the direction of scientific and technological development, which saved the institute from many detours."

From this meal with Tan Qiu, Ji Shumiao seemed to have gained a lot, but also seemed to have gained nothing.

Chatting with Yin Xiao before going to bed, Ji Shumiao rested his chin on the pillow in his arms and asked, "Sister Xiao Xiao, were you and Brother Lang responsible for monitoring me before?"

"Yes." Yin Xiao nodded, "To confirm whether you are gay, obviously you can stand the test."

Ji Shumiao pursed her lips in fear. Fortunately, she did not do anything evil at that time and used illegal means to deal with Yang Lina, Zhao Mei and others.

"What if I fail the test?"

Yin Xiao clenched his fists, his eyes determined: "Then you are the enemy of the people. We must treat our enemies as ruthlessly as autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves."

Ji Shumiao: "...When did you start monitoring...testing me?"

"After the work meeting on earthquake prevention and disaster prevention."

"So early? How come I didn't notice it at all?"

Yinxiao said proudly: "If you can find Yinlang and I, we won't have to do this anymore and will just pack up and go home to carry manure."

"Hey, that's true."

"It's getting late. You should go to bed early. You have a full day to plan tomorrow."

"Okay, good night, Sister Xiaoxiao."

Yin Xiao got up and went back to his room. When he opened the door, he saw Xie Cuilan leading Tongtong over.

Tongtong had obviously just cried, her eyes were red and swollen, she stood at the door of Ji Shumiao's room holding the strawberry quilt, and asked pitifully and cautiously: "Sister, can I sleep with you..."

Sister Cuilan explained, "The child had a nightmare and kept crying after waking up. I coaxed him for a long time but he still didn't say anything. Only after I mentioned you did he say he wanted to come find you."

Ji Shumiao waved at her: "Come."

Tongtong threw himself into her arms and held her tightly.

Yin Xiao and Xie Cuilan both left, leaving only the two sisters in the room. The chirping of cicadas in the yard in late summer became weaker and weaker.

Ji Shumiao rubbed the little head in his arms: "What nightmare did you have?"

[I dreamed that everything now is fake, and I am still in the end times. 】

Ji Shumiao hugged her tightly with heartache. When she was just reborn, she was in great fear all the time, afraid that all the beautiful things before her eyes were just imagination.

"Don't be afraid no matter what nightmare you have, your family will always be together." Ji Shumiao pinched her little hand, "The warmth given by your family is real, so don't be afraid of those false nightmares."

"Will... we be together forever?" Tongtong raised his head, staring at her with a pair of red and swollen eyes, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable tears.

【Will you abandon me? 】

【I don’t want to be alone anymore. 】

"Of course we will be together forever." Ji Shumiao hugged her tightly, tears welling up in his eyes, "Family, we will be together forever."

[If I could be with my sister, mother, father, grandmother, uncle, aunt, and brothers forever, the end of the world wouldn't be scary. ]

Tongtong buried himself deeply in her arms, rubbing against her affectionately.
