the broken higgs

Higgs wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, a trace of blood on it made him clenched his silver teeth in displeasure, "Damnit! What a mess."

"Liz, take care of that offal and bring it here."

"Yes, sir." The specific image of Liz flashed again, following behind Higgs, blinking her big hazy eyes, "There is one more thing, Manager Hector would like to discuss with you, hoping to renew the purchase of that machine contract."

"That idiot?" Higgs pulled off his coat as he walked forward. The matching black vest and shirt inside set off his figure almost like a devil. "That idiot's proposal last time was good. Made of synthetic cellulose clothing."

"Ah?" Liz exclaimed, "That should waste a lot of energy!"

"This is just a way out." Higgs changed into a formal suit, looking decent and indifferent, "I will bring the bastard who attacked me to the meeting later, where the judgment will be made."

"Okay, is there anything else I can order?"

Higgs turned his head and pointed to Liz's nose, reminding him, "There's also that idiot who sells machines."

Liz was puzzled: "According to the law, businessmen cannot participate in any political activities."

"Then you can't fucking let him wait outside!" Higgs loosened his tie: "Why are you so stupid?"

"Okay." Liz raised her hand and obeyed unconditionally.

In the huge vaulted transparent cabin, a dozen or so people are holding a seemingly democratic meeting.

Kane was hung in a cage made of stainless steel for public display, and the radio waves around him were reminding this frail man not to try to make the slightest struggle.

"Smugglers attacked me today. You must have known and seen it."

Higgs came out slowly from the back door, his slender body was reflected on the white floor, his haughty aura was as dazzling as wildfire sweeping through the bushes, "What I'm going to do now is to judge him and finish the process we went to. An unfinished business."

"Well, we all know about this," Worf, one of the elders, pushed his glasses and said, "But he also has human rights. Isn't it too much to tie him up like this?"

"Then have you considered my situation as the supreme officer?" Higgs sat on the seat in the center, "The ruling on him should be representative and warning."

"According to the law, he should be given the highest penalty. What do you think?"

The bottom is very quiet, and the miniature screens in everyone's hands are linked to the central projector through signals to show their voting results.

"Well, it seems that everyone thinks the same as me," Higgs nodded with satisfaction watching the 300-year sentence on the screen.

People here wear all kinds of masks, even if they disagree in their hearts, they will never show it. The shackles of the chain of interests make these politicians look pitiful and ridiculous.

"Okay, we don't have to waste our precious time on him, let's get down to business," Higgs turned to meet Worf's eyes. "Wolf, how is the piece you're in charge of?"

"It has been calculated. If you pass through the built-up cavity accelerator, you can reach it in about 3 months at the fastest."

"Very good!" Higgs turned his chair habitually. "The planet M34 is rich in water vapor, and, like the earth, it is blue."

"Since this is the case, we can cut off contact with the earth and remove the list of everyone who is going to emigrate to the space station. We have fully entered the stage of route adjustment, and the next step is to start."

"Huh?" Another elder was shocked, "Wolf, this decision is a bit too hasty! Once the supplies are cut off, how will our lives be guaranteed? And, just abandon the citizens of the earth like this? They also have human rights!"

Realizing that he had become the leader by accident, he raised one hand above his nose, pretending to rub his eyes to relieve the sudden emotion, the sweat on his fingertips gleamed moistly under the light.

"I understand your anger," Higgs leaned back in his chair, "but Worf is right, the Little Ice Age is over, and the Great Ice Age is coming! That's a sign of barbarism, cholera! AIDS! Suicide! Do you want the space station to admit such citizens?"

"..."

The other party pinched his nostrils to prevent himself from coughing, and the robot he carried gave him a tablet mixed with water and drank it.

"Do you have any doubts?"

"Then how to meet the needs of clothing and other materials within these three months?"

"Easy!" Higgs crossed his long legs, "Liz! You can let Hector in."

Amidst the surprised looks of the crowd, Hector entered with his gold-rimmed glasses and a pile of papers under his arm.

"Hi!" He seemed very happy.

After explaining his design concept, Higgs also clapped his hands happily: "Very good! If you have no doubts, I will sign with him."

All of this goes on smoothly and quickly, like a pre-rehearsed puppet show, funny though earnest.

Kane lifted his head feebly, then dropped it heavily when he saw Higgs.

This transparent spherical capsule can see the earth. From outer space, the earth looks like a rusty star full of holes.It was black and dirty, almost like burnt food sticking to the bottom of a pan.

He seems to have seen the yellow dust flying all over the sky, and the grandmother's curled up stiff body among the fallen leaves...

Fists clenched and then loosened.Small vibrations in the chest cavity, such as sighing, can cause generalized spasms.

People in this place are forever living insatiable lives!Dirty politics, random squandering, abuse of technology... It's like digging a trap for yourself!

In a dark prison.

The shackles had been undone, but the man who looked like thick phlegm to Higgs was curled up on the ground, clutching the ring his grandmother gave him.

"Why do you think of running from the earth to kill me?" Higgs's shiny leather shoes stopped in front of Kane, "tell me? How did you come up with this joke-like idea?"

"You killed my grandmother!" Kane's chest was "wheezing, wheezing" like a bellows, and his face showed an abnormal blush.

Higgs raised his eyebrows, "I know your grandmother?"

"Do you know who you are? If I have a half-dime relationship with your grandmother, you're my fucking grandson!"

Higgs kicked hard at the cage.

Kane grabbed hold of the trembling wire and slowly climbed up. His knees had been disabled, and he could barely stand with the strength of his arms.

He smiled when he was at eye level with Higgs, "Then I am really lucky to have such a grandfather!"

He calmly drew closer to Higgs, the ring in his hand glowed coldly, "Do you know why my grandmother died?"

"You know that?" Kane continued, "She will die because you gave her a drug! You are afraid that your resources will be wasted, so you killed all the old people!"

"That's a matter of course."

Higgs' shamelessness shocked him, Kane's flushed face became more angry, and he moved closer to Higgs.

Just a little closer!

"Go to hell!" When the distance was close enough, Kane flicked the mechanism on the ring, and the diamond flakes inside popped out with a "snap", and then he aimed the pointed end at Higgs' temple, Take a sharp stab!

no response!

Higgs tilted his head to cushion the impact force, with an evil look on his face, "I forgot to tell you, my whole body's bones are injected with nano-scale polyester D5, even your companion's bullets can't kill you." Me, don't you realize it yet?"

Kane's dark gray eyes suddenly became as dim as dead ashes, as if the last bit of flame had been trampled out, and he slowly fell down on the wire.

Higgs spoke to him in an elusive tone, "Die Offenbarungen und Prophezeiungendesheiligen Nikiforaus Chidno (German, "The Revelation and Language of St. Nikifer"). Kill me, in the next life!"

"Send him back to Earth?" Liz's voice came through his earphones, "According to the law, he will be sent back to serve on Earth."

"No need." Higgs put his hands behind his head, "keep him."

The bloodthirst inherent in some people's nature, a nature that is normally conditioned, but which erupts from time to time.

They kill purely to satisfy a kind of natural cruelty.

Higgs is that kind of guy.
