Chapter 126: Beehive

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe spent a lot of effort to get rid of the sisters' entanglement with Yu Zi Qian. The means used included but were not limited to lying that he would take them to Yun's tourist attractions for a date after he came back, and claiming that taking good care of Yin Lishang was to brush up the favorability of Yu Zi Qian's father so that he could be his future daughter-in-law.

As for whether weaving lies to deceive others' feelings would bring psychological burden or moral baggage to himself... Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe might use such a question to answer:

What is morality?

"Ye Yao, what do you think is morality?" On the way to the western suburbs of Yun, Seeing Lan Shiwen, who was driving, asked Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe the same question.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe lowered his head and replied without lifting his head while replying to Zhang Yunwen's WeChat: "Morality is the behavioral norms and life guidelines formulated by people based on the current social structure and environmental atmosphere. In different social environments, morality has different definitions."

"In modern civilized society, consanguineous marriage is usually considered immoral, and sexual relationships between blood relatives within three generations will be viewed differently. But if the same thing appeared in primitive society, it would be unremarkable, and even regarded as a reasonable behavior to increase the population."

"The royal families and nobles in the feudal period often had chaotic relationships where fathers and daughters or even mothers and sons became husband and wife to avoid power falling into the hands of outsiders. The male members of the royal family marrying their sisters was also considered to be in line with ethics. But in modern times, this is simply unimaginable."

"In summary, the standard of morality is actually not fixed, but changes with the changes in the living environment and social atmosphere. So there is such a concept in jurisprudence—newly promulgated legal provisions should not, in principle, retrospectively apply to criminal acts committed by people before the promulgation of the legal provisions, but can only constrain people from committing crimes in the future."

Seeing Lan Shiwen nodded: "A very bookish answer, it doesn't sound like something a music student would say."

The fingertips of Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, who was typing on the virtual keyboard of the phone screen, paused slightly. Yes, this was not Yu Zi Qian's answer.

—This was "Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's" answer.

Unknowingly, the identities of two people with completely different personalities became confused in Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's cognition.

"I have to give myself another thought steel seal..." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe muttered to himself. He still wasn't sure what the side effects of the thought steel seal ability were, so he was extra cautious about the use of this rule. As long as his cognition hadn't wavered, there was no need to reinforce the seal for the time being.

But the wavering of the self is sometimes subtle, and he might not be able to perceive it.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe looked down at the screen. Zhang Yunwen had just sent a selfie. In the picture, Zhang Hanying was buying new clothes for Yin Lishang in the mall.

Turning off the phone, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe exhaled lightly and asked: "Why did you suddenly ask such a question? Why, are you planning to persuade people to be good?"

"That's not it." Seeing Lan Shiwen shook his head: "Just to let you be prepared for what you are about to see."

As he spoke, the ancient trees on both sides of the road fell behind the car window one by one. Seeing Lan Shiwen drove past a wide city gate over 20 meters high. On both sides of the lead-gray asphalt highway were ancient city walls built of rammed earth and bricks. The majestic momentum extended along the earthy yellow walls to the end of the line of sight.

Yun City was once the capital of the Central Plains dynasty in ancient times. The process of modernization turned the residential areas and markets of the old capital into a bustling metropolis of red lights and green wine, leaving only the thick city walls on the periphery of the city that had survived hundreds of years of wind and rain. The ancient city walls had been repaired several times, still surrounding the high-rise buildings in the city, just like what it looked like here hundreds of years ago.

Passing through the city wall hole and out of the west city gate, it was the western suburbs of Yun City.

"There is a technology park in the western suburbs of Yun City that is quite famous. You should have heard of the leading enterprise—Yunshan Pharmaceutical, a local pharmaceutical giant in Yun Province." Seeing Lan Shiwen turned the steering wheel to the right and closed the car window, isolating the hot wind outside: "The place we are going to is the research base of this enterprise in the technology park in the western suburbs of Yun City."

"Why, are you going to see a doctor?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe asked casually.

"My health is fine. I ran this trip to the technology park for other reasons." Seeing Lan Shiwen shook his head and said: "Ji Bochang is a member of the board of directors of Yunshan Pharmaceutical Group and the largest shareholder with 41% of the shares."

"What about the second largest shareholder?"

"His son."

"It seems you have found out a lot." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe laughed: "But why don't I feel surprised at all..." Seeing Lan Shiwen relaxed the accelerator and took one hand off the steering wheel: "I believe you will be surprised soon."

Driving into the main gate of the technology park, Seeing Lan Shiwen got temporary visitor cards for the two from the office, and then parked the car in the parking space under the shade of the trees.

From the aerial photography screen of the drone, the overall shape of the technology park in the western suburbs of Yun City is like a huge Yin-Yang diagram. The office buildings arranged around the central dome are rows of different hexagrams. Such a special structure is naturally very eye-catching. Since the completion of the technology park in the western suburbs, there has been no lack of conspiracy theories and association discussions about this place on the Internet.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe took the visitor card from Seeing Lan Shiwen and said casually: "I saw a post on the Yun Province Geography Tieba before. The poster analyzed the arrangement of the office buildings in the technology park in the western suburbs seriously and concluded that the hexagrams here are actually wrong. The western suburbs of Yun City are where the dragon veins of the ancient dynasty are located. Yun Province built a group of buildings in this place according to the wrong hexagrams just to suppress the luck of the previous dynasty."

"You also watch this kind of thing." Seeing Lan Shiwen was a bit surprised: "I have seen more fantasy reasoning, saying that there is a big snake under the Hanjiang, which has cultivated into a half-dragon, and only needs to cross the river to truly become a dragon. The reason why Yun Province built this technology park and the Hanjiang Dam is to cut off the river's earth energy and block the snake's path to become a dragon. But because of this, the people of Yun City have been hated by the half-dragon snake demon, so the Yunmengze water system has had abnormal wind and rain for years, and floods occur frequently."

"It sounds like that." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe shrugged: "What about in reality?"

"In reality, it's because of Ji Bochang's personal preferences. He funded the construction here. The old guy just likes to play with things like Yin-Yang, Tai Chi, and Qi Men Dun Jia." Seeing Lan Shiwen said: "As for why the hexagrams around the technology park in the western suburbs are wrong, it's actually because the construction team took the drawings upside down that year."

"Awesome." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe gave a thumbs up.

The two chatted while walking toward the circular dome in the center of the technology park. The staff who had been notified long ago greeted them from dozens of meters away, brought them into an independent small room, and disinfected and changed clothes.

Changing into pure white protective clothing, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe followed Seeing Lan Shiwen into the large spiral staircase leading to the underground. The staff who led the way for the two remained silent and didn't say a word of nonsense.

"What exactly do you want to show me?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe couldn't help but ask.

=9+Shu_Ba

"Didn't I tell you yesterday?" Seeing Lan Shiwen took out the visitor card and handed it to the duty guard waiting in front of the fire door. Then the door opened, and faint white mist drifted out from the door crack.

Seeing Lan Shiwen opened the door and said: "Come on, let me show you Ji Bochang's money printing machine."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe walked up and walked through three security doors with Seeing Lan Shiwen, finally arriving at a wide underground circular hall. The temperature here was very low, and the bright lights on the dome illuminated the enclosed underground space like daylight. The ground was densely covered with regular hexagonal lines and concave grids, like a huge white beehive. Complex pipelines of different thicknesses extended in all directions with this huge white beehive as the center, like tree roots.

Seeing Lan Shiwen made a gesture to the camera on his head. Then, the humming sound of mechanical operation came from under his feet. One of the beehive grids closest to the two opened the outermost explosion-proof partition, revealing the transparent inner liner inside.

The capsule-shaped inner liner was about 2 meters long, just enough to accommodate an adult man lying in it. In fact, there was indeed a naked man lying in it, with a pale but calm face without any expression.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's brows furrowed slightly. Although younger, he recognized this face.

"... Ji Bochang?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said in a low voice.

"Hmm." Seeing Lan Shiwen nodded: "Ji Bochang."

The humming sound was still continuing, and more beehive grids were opened. Rows and columns were densely packed with countless adult men lying in the capsule inner liners. Their figures were exactly the same, their facial features were exactly the same, and even the lightning-struck wood tattoo on their chests was exactly the same.

They were all Ji Bochang, Ji Bochang when he was young.

"This is the money printing machine built by Yunshan Pharmaceutical for their major shareholder, or we can use more modern vocabulary to describe it—cloning warehouse."
