For Grandma Bai, the days when Xi Jing lived in Bai's house was one of the happiest times in the past few years. It was like having an extra grandson with a different personality from Bai Yuan, watching the two younger generations play chess or playing chess together every day. Brushing up on questions and occasionally bickering, she finds it a lot of fun.

And for Xi Jing, this is also a special time, because he doesn't need to hide his true thoughts anymore, and he can even discuss with Bai Yuan where he plans to go first if he becomes a secret explorer in the future.

The two of them were also studying the world map that day.

Sui Jing gestured to Bai Yuan a dense forest near the national border, and said, "The 'Kraken' that Sui Siyu moved into the tower last time should have come from this area. The old man once took me to this restricted area when I was young. We traveled to the edge of the city, and we spent a short period of time with the team of explorers stationed there. They said that because of a major earthquake in this area, many things that were originally buried deep underground were exposed, and some of them were worthy of archaeology. There are prehistoric fossils studied by scientists, and there are also some strange animal remains."

Bai Yuan looked at the small area on the map, but actually occupied a large area.

Even in the era before the abnormal changes occurred, ordinary people were not allowed to enter this dense forest because of the frequent presence of ferocious beasts. If someone bypassed the forest guards and went in to explore by themselves, the final result was often that even the dead body could not be found.At the same time, this dense forest is also a place where forest guards and poachers have fought desperately all year round-even now that sentries and guides have become the norm, the conflict in this place should never decrease.

And the first secret place that Xi Jing wanted to go to was here.

"Actually, I have read various documents recently and found an interesting point of view." Bai Yuan looked away from the map, looked at Xi Jing and said, "Some scholars believe that this kind of evolution called 'Awakening' may not only happen. It happens to humans, it happens to animals."

After Sui Jing gave up covering up his true knowledge, he was able to pick up this topic naturally.

He nodded: "There is such a view. But as far as I know, this view has not found any strong arguments so far. At least among the animals we have access to so far, we have not found any group or group of any species. The individual showed obvious signs of evolution."

"Maybe it's just that they evolve slowly, or the direction of evolution is different from ours." When Bai Yuan talked about the topic he was interested in, his eyes were shining, "Just now you said that strange animal remains were found in the secret realm At that time, I suddenly thought, if the drastic environmental changes in the secret realms are also regarded as a kind of "evolution" in nature, then these secret realms may be the first places where animals "awakened" and those remains are where they also evolved Proof." Yu Xi Tuan Dui.

Sui Jing vaguely noticed something, looked at Bai Yuan with confirmation and asked, "Looking at the literature you read a while ago, I thought that what you want to study in the future is genetic engineering?"

"Yes, but I don't think it's enough to just study the existing samples." Bai Yuan's eyes fell on the mysterious area on the map that even ordinary sentries and guides can't penetrate. It’s time to go to one of these secret places to investigate the situation.”

Sure enough.

Sui Jing smiled, and said leisurely: "So, we can discuss and go to the same place when the time comes."

The two stopped talking for a while, and seemed to be immersed in anticipation of the future.

After a while, Bai Yuan was the first to calm down, folded up the map and said, "However, we are still far away from freely choosing an internship place, and discussing these now is nothing more than empty talk. Let's get down to business first."

"What's the matter?"

"Buy groceries."

Bai Yuan's serious expression didn't look like he was joking at all.

So after washing dishes by himself for the first time in his life, Sui Jing went to the vegetable market for the first time.And he believes that as long as he keeps getting along with Bai Yuan at the current pace, he will experience many first times that he never imagined before.

In order to avoid unnecessary attention, the two put away their spiritual bodies after entering the public area.

When Bai Yuan was picking vegetables, Sui Jing stood at the door of the fish shop beside him, watching the fish kept in the water basin by the net and spitting bubbles from their mouths.The noisy sound and chaotic smell of the vegetable market was not a pleasant experience for him as a sentinel, but it was still within a tolerable range when he was mentally prepared.

Suddenly, Xi Jing slightly turned his ear to a certain place, and before Bai Yuan could react, he had already stretched out his hand and pulled him to his side, protecting him behind him.In the next second, a figure suddenly jumped down from the fifth floor of a certain building nearby, smashing the vegetable stall where Bai Yuan was standing just now.The perpetrator turned over on the spot, jumped up unaffected, and ran towards the exit on the other side at a speed comparable to that of a bicycle before other people in the vegetable market could react.

While the man was running, a black shadow followed his footsteps and passed under the various stalls in the vegetable market, looking like some kind of weasel.

"That is……"

Before Bai Yuan finished speaking, two people jumped down from the fifth floor.Or to be precise, one person jumps off with the other on his back.The person behind the back asked loudly: "Where's the direction?!"

The person being carried raised his finger and pointed to the exit where the first jumper had already disappeared, and said firmly, "Over there. With your speed, if no one else comes to meet him, you should be able to catch up."

"You contact people from other teams, I'll go there first." The person carrying the person put down his companion, and chased him out like a gust of wind.

Xi Jing turned her head and whispered in Bai Yuan's ear: "Let's go first."

At this time, ordinary people in the vegetable market also recovered from the thrilling scene just now, and began to gather here to watch the excitement.Seeing this, Bai Yuan quickly scanned the QR code to complete the payment, and followed Sui Jing to leave the place of right and wrong.

After returning to the relatively quiet street, Xi Jing said: "It should be that the people from the Supervision Bureau were chasing black households just now."

The so-called "black household" here does not refer to people who do not have household registration in the general sense, but the kind of people who are sentries or guides, but are unwilling to accept the supervision of the tower after awakening, and wander outside the tower while concealing the identity of the awakened person.Whether intentionally or unintentionally among them, they will more or less cause commotion and create troubles, which will arouse ordinary people's prejudice and hostility towards the special human beings who are sentry guides.Among them, some black households even form illegal organizations and commit crimes.The duty of the Sentinel Supervision Bureau is to control these black households, those who can be educated are forced to be sent to the tower to receive education, and those who cannot be educated are sent to a special court led by Sentinels for trial.

Bai Yuan knew this common sense, but this was the first time he saw the confrontation between the Supervision Bureau and black households up close.Judging from the reaction of the onlookers who gathered later, whether it was the black household who escaped at first, or the staff of the Supervision Bureau who chased after them, they all seemed to them to be somewhat terrifying aliens.

"So it's wise for grandma to hide that you are a guide." Xi Jing took the bag from Bai Yuan's hand, "In some places where sentinel guides have particularly intense conflicts with ordinary people, even their family members may be attacked by ordinary people. Object."

After Xi Jing finished speaking, he was a little worried that what he said just now would make Bai Yuan, who was still full of expectations for the future in the morning, depressed.But when he observed Bai Yuan's expression and considered whether to change the topic to ease it up, he found that the worry or sadness that he expected to appear did not appear on the other party's face. On the contrary, it was a calm expression. A look of determination.

"Fear often comes from the unknown and uncontrollable." Bai Yuan said, "The history of sentinel guides is less than 100 years old, and many systems have not yet been perfected, but I believe that such unnecessary conflicts will become less and less in the future. Just like when the sentinel guide was first discovered, there were many fierce conflicts between ordinary people and us, but now when we see the sentinel guide again, everyone will talk about a few gossips at most, and few people will take the initiative to inflict damage. "

This is true, especially recently there are some new bills related to sentinel guides that are being promoted, including whether sentinel guides with physical disabilities can enjoy the same treatment as guide dogs in public places.

But no matter what, the episode just now somewhat affected the relaxed and happy mood of Sui Jing and Bai Yuan.

The two fell silent after a brief discussion and walked back.On the way, Suijing suddenly heard a familiar voice calling himself in surprise: "Xijing?!"

Hearing the sound, Bai Yuan and Sui Jing looked towards the direction where the sound came from, but saw a tall man who was six or seven points similar in appearance to Sui Jing walking towards them.The opponent was wearing a gray-blue uniform, and the badges on his shoulders and chest showed that he belonged to the Supervision Bureau.At the same time, Bai Yuan also noticed that Sui Jing, who has always been able to perform with ease, had an imperceptible awkwardness on his expression the moment he saw the person coming, as if he didn't know how to get along with the person.

He suddenly remembered the half-brother that Xi Jing had mentioned.

The next moment, the man's self-introduction also confirmed Bai Yuan's guess.He smiled at Bai Yuan gently and said: "Hello, I am Qiao Mingshu, the elder brother of Jing Jing. You must be Bai Yuan's classmate, right?"

"That little girl Sui Yao..." Sui Jing whispered unhappily.

Qiao Mingshu briefly shook hands with Bai Yuan, then looked at Xi Jing from head to toe, as if he still felt that seeing Xi Jing in such a place was inconceivable—especially when the young master was still carrying a Two pockets of freshly bought vegetables.

Seeing this, Sui Jing could almost imagine that the other party would definitely share with Sui Yao that she saw him today, just like Sui Yao told Qiao Mingshu that Sui Jing had a friend named Bai Yuan.

In order to prevent the topic from turning around on himself and Bai Yuan, Sui Jing took the initiative to attack and said, "You came here to arrest people?"

"Yes." Accustomed to Sui Jing's awkward attitude towards him, Qiao Mingshu's EQ changed the subject well, "Did you see the escaped man just now? Can you describe his appearance to me?"
