Chapter 833 Bernard's last words

On an ordinary day in the late 60s, Xiang Shan also stared blankly at the indicator light in front of him with complicated emotions.

That is the reality of a person's vital signs.

A withered old man lies on a hospital bed. 20 years ago, this old guy was an elegant white-haired gentleman, but in 20 years, he was burned to a piece of charcoal.The effects of the disease also made him extraordinarily debilitating.

Bernard Dubois lay on the bed, looking at Xiang Shan.Ignoring the difference in the texture of some artificial skin, Xiangshan's appearance is not much different from 20 years ago.Maybe in another 30 years, he will still be like this.Benchmark humans are far longer than Homo sapiens in terms of life expectancy.

This generation of Homo sapiens will be the last generation of Homo sapiens on Earth.The 400-year lifespan of the baseline person has nothing to do with them.Human beings in the future will go to another distant future that has nothing to do with them.

In the depths of Bernard's dry eye sockets, there was actually a little tear.

He stretched out his hand.The motion capture device sensed his intentions and lifted the bed a little.He took a few breaths and said, "Boss... I have to thank you."

Xiang Shan looked away and said with a smile, "I thought you were going to scold me. I'm ready. It's normal to be scolded by such an old man..."

"Haha... You are clearly in a hurry to find Ms. Zhu, but you still take the time to see me, a dying person." Bernard laughed, "I think this is already a proof of friendship."

The haze in Xiang Shanmei's eyes got a little heavier.But he still smiled: "That guy is used to being wild, maybe he just came for a casual trip..."

"Really? Not necessarily, right? Your generation can't bear to travel without network communication." Bernard shook his head.

Zhu Xinyu has been out of touch for a while.

On a certain night.Xiang Shan felt his chest was heavy.He woke up and found that Zhu Xinyu was holding the Damascus steel chef's knife that he hadn't used for several years at his head.

Xiang Shan was sobered up in an instant.He said: "What are you doing? I told you many years ago, I don't accept any extreme play... Don't make trouble..."

Zhu Xinyu nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, it's very similar." She looked closely at Xiang Shan's subtle expression, and murmured, "Is it possible...is it true?"

Xiang Shan couldn't take it anymore: "What the hell are you doing? We didn't quarrel, did we?"

Zhu Xinyu sighed and removed the kitchen knife.Xiang Shan immediately snatched the knife away.

Zhu Xinyu didn't try to take back the kitchen knife, but shook her head and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Hey, he can't do it..."

Xiang Shan was completely confused.He said: "This...do you need me to find a psychiatrist for you...that..."

Zhu Xinyu shook his head, changed into a travel outfit for going out, and then grabbed the backpack he had prepared earlier: "Okay, let's go here. One last piece of advice for you, don't trust anyone anymore. That's it, don't look for me It's..."

Xiang Shan just felt baffled.Tiredness made him sleep again.The next day, he thought he had an inexplicable dream.

But Zhu Xinyu really disappeared like a dream.

It's not that Zhu Xinyu has never done this kind of "go and go travel", but if she travels purely, it is impossible for her to lose contact.In addition, in the past 30 years, Xiang Shan and her had quarreled.But she never broke out in this form.

This time is different from before.

Xiang Shan didn't say anything about that night.He himself couldn't say why.Is it to hide something for Zhu Xinyu, or because...

What did Zhu Xinyu's words make him feel?
This was already a few months ago.Now many senior executives of Superman Enterprises know the rumors that "the CEO quarreled with the CSO, and the CSO ran away from home".

——In any case, at least it is better than everyone thinking that Xinyu is crazy.

Xiang Shan thought so.

Hearing Lao Di take the initiative to bring up this matter, Xiang Shan asked: "Lao Di, in your life experience, is there a way to deal with this situation?"

Bernard smiled and shook his head: "My experience in life...it expired very early, didn't it?"

The tone is somewhat yin and yang.

Xiang Shan felt a little uncomfortable.

Bernard looked away.He said: "Before entering the hospital, I became interested in the history of this land. It is said that more than 330 years ago, the emperor who ruled this land was a very difficult person..."

"It's difficult for the emperor?" Xiang Shan couldn't help retorting: "Aren't the people under the emperor's rule even more difficult?"

"Indeed. This emperor executed many courtiers because of his thoughts, and suppressed many uprisings." Bernard said: "But, he is very similar to you. He is someone who wants to change the world."

"The emperor just wants to change his own empire."

Bernard took a few breaths, and the reading of the oxygen machine fluctuated.Xiang Shan sighed and motioned Bernard to continue.

"You don't have to accommodate me so much, Boss. Actually, I quite like the way you show your anger to the world." Bernard said: "When I was young, I actually wanted to change something, and I also wanted to speak out for the people at the bottom... I My father has always responded with a false smile and falsely praised me for my love. I believed it at the time... But at that time, he was right... My sincerity and enthusiasm are a kind of capital in the future, which can be used To embellish your own success... My father knew it. I..."

Bernard stopped again, adjusting his breathing.

"Shun Shun Qi, Lao Di, let's talk about the emperor. The guy who claims to be very similar to me."

"No, only that point is similar. In fact, many practices are completely different." Bernard said: "The changes that the emperor wants will harm the interests of the bureaucratic gentry group. He needs manpower to promote changes, but the more changes, There are fewer and fewer people who can remain absolutely loyal to him. So he chose to use other methods to win over his subordinates. He used the ethics of loyalty and personal emotions to make some courtiers think that they belonged to the "emperor's camp"... In that dynasty, many Among the monarchs, his attitude is relatively low, and he is even willing to call himself a 'friend' or a 'close friend'... He seems to know that if he does not strengthen the ethics of loyalty and this kind of private emotion, he will have no leverage... "

"But you are different, you are an awe-inspiring guy..."

"He is the emperor of a feudal dynasty, and I am a capitalist in a modern society." Xiang Shan spread his hands: "It is only natural that I am different from that emperor."

"'There is no difference between the king and the capitalist, or the capitalist and the king', you said this yourself, right? In name and in reality...cough cough...you must understand better than me..."
