Reading the mind

ah.

Song Xu is still as outspoken as ever.

After hearing the voice coming from the public channel, Ivy's eyes went dark.

When Lorraine spoke, she wanted to keep silent even more.

Ivy's face turned red, and the bracelet that monitored her heart rate shrieked with an alarm.

In the public channel of the communicator, after Lorraine asked that question, Song Xu finally calmed down.

Only two seconds.

He asked in panic, "Uh... Sir, no, teacher, you should stop interfering when it comes to students' emotional issues, right?"

Lorraine said succinctly: "I'll give you one minute to give me the coordinates."

Song Xu kept making “uh… um… ah” sounds for a while.

Only students and teachers had a common communicator, so Songfeng couldn't hear the conversation.

Stroking her golden hair, with a light rose-colored hairline faintly visible in her hair, Song Feng asked, "What? Are you happy with your own stupidity?"

Song Xu turned off the public radio call and said quickly, "Teacher Luo Lin wants my coordinates."

He repeated strangely: "What does he want my position for?"

"Of course I'll hit you, idiot! What else? Send you to a mental hospital?" Song Feng's face turned pale. He took the repair box and planned to quickly repair the car and run away. He scolded his brother, "Can't you see? Commander Lorraine has some feelings for Ivy!!!"

Song Xu was shocked: "What do you mean?"

"That means," Song Feng was busy repairing the car and changing the tires, "to be more specific, Ivy is likely to betray her marriage."

Song Xu understood: "You said Ai Wei would cheat?"

"What else?" Song Feng sneered, "Anyone knows how to choose. One is an excellent S-class officer, and the other is a D-class soldier who matches her. I wonder how Lorraine will treat her after she finds out that she is married. She must be regretting that stupid marriage now, right? Humph...what are you laughing at?"

Song Feng looked as if he had seen a ghost, and looked at Song Xu: "Don't you think cheating is shameful? Don't you think she is fickle?"

"That's good," Song Xu was ecstatic, his sapphire eyes sparkling, "Does that mean I have a chance too?"

Song Feng said, "Fuck."

This was the first time that the self-righteous and elegant man had sworn in his long battle in the wasteland.

Seeing Song Xu's absent-minded look, Song Feng kindly reminded him: "Since you don't want to be arranged to marry, then just fill out the spouse selection survey form honestly, don't think too much, learn from me, focus on your career, leave marriage to the government to decide, and wait quietly for the country to assign you the destined person. How great it is. I believe that even if the match ratio is 89.99%, it must be the most suitable partner."

Song Xu didn't listen. He just lowered his head, reopened the public channel, and reported his location to Lorraine.

With a sigh in his heart, Song Feng immediately decided to put his cousin down and leave first.

Respect the fate of fools.

In the medical station.

Lorraine got Song Xu's position.

Ivy curiously looked at the newspaper he had just read - now that paper prices have risen and storage is inconvenient, few people read books. Magazines and periodicals have all turned to electronic platforms, and only government departments such as the military, government and medical departments still insist on printing newspapers.

This newspaper was brought by Yu Mo. It was produced and printed by the Supreme Medical Administration and circulated internally, so the news was also related to medicine.

In recent years, there have been endless levels of human body modification surgeries, such as the knowledge memory storage sockets that have been accepted by the public, smart electronic chips implanted in the body, screens, electronic pets, and digital life hard drives of deceased relatives...

There are endless new ideas.

The ethical disputes that come with this have never stopped, including clones and bionic people.

Especially for cloning, one only needs to extract a part of the cells to create a person with exactly the same genes, appearance, and height. Then, by introducing the memory backup, it will be a "person" who is no different from the original owner.

But to this day, human cloning has not been recognized by law.

This technology was condemned when it first came out. People felt panic and anxiety about this "other person who could replace them at any time", and when ethical issues were involved, it was banned for decades.

If someone secretly performs human cloning surgery, once it is discovered, they will be immediately "erased" and clones will not be allowed to survive in this world.

She/they are not legally recognized as human beings.

What Lorraine was just reading was a report about human cloning.

Ivy was not interested in this kind of thing. She retracted her gaze, raised her arms, and looked at Yu Mo who was smiling as he took the medical report.

"Very healthy," Yu Mo said, "Healthy enough to kill a cow with bare hands."

Ivy said, "Don't always tease me about our childhood."

Yu Mo smiled and signed his name on the injury appraisal. He wrote down the size of the scars on Ivy's body in detail and took photos for backup.

If Ivy feels unwell, this document signed by Lorraine and Yu Mo can give her a chance to retake the exam.

"Xiaobao, get along well with your teammates when you go back," Yu Mo said softly, "especially Song Feng. I know you have disliked him since childhood, but he is now the vice-captain. If you join Iris and continue to clash with him, you will suffer."

Ivy said gloomily: "To be honest, I haven't decided whether to join Iris or not."

"If you don't join Iris, what team can you join? This team currently has the best configuration and the best treatment," Yu Mo said with a smile, "We can't join the army - if you really hate Song Feng, you can continue to curse him in your heart."

Ivy said: "Yes——"

"Believe in science," Lorraine said coldly, "Instead of relying on such a stupid trick as 'curse', it is better to enhance personal strength."

Ivy continued to nod: "The teacher is right."

Yu Mo smiled slowly.

I looked at the time and saw that Ivy was about to leave. She had been delayed here for a long time.

She had to continue following the electronic map to get the remaining mission supplies.

Before leaving, Yu Mo wanted to give the water and biscuits to Ivy, but Lorraine refused.

"That's against the rules," he said. "She can go to the food station and find it herself."

Ivy wants to say, are you a rigid robot?

His lips moved but no words came out.

It’s too rude to say this to my parents in person. I can share it with them after the test. Wow, you know what? My teacher is like a programmed machine.

"The teacher is too strict, like a robot," Yu Mo smiled, "Can I give her some bandages?"

"No," Lorraine said, "She has no other injuries now - if she needs anything later, she can always contact me."

"Okay," Yu Mo sighed, turned to look at Ivy, his light green eyes focused, "Tell me after the evaluation is over, I will go home with you--"

Before he finished speaking, Lorraine grabbed Ivy's arm and said, "It's time to take you back."

Ivy turned around and said hurriedly: "What time do you get off work? I'll go back to the base and wait for you."

She was dragged into the car by Lorraine somewhat roughly.

The teacher is very strong, much stronger than Song Feng.

Ivy suddenly realized that if they were to fight and give the two of them a threat value, Song Feng's threat would be 89.9%, and Lorraine's threat would be 100%.

But she and Lorraine had no relationship other than that of teacher and student—they were not antagonists.

Ivy breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her arm that was hurt by his grip.

"Don't waste time here," Lorraine said, "I'll take you to see Song Xu now."

—and teach him a lesson.

Ivy uttered an "oh" and lowered her head to hear Lorraine ask, "After the test, are you going home?"

"Well," Ivy said, "what's up?"

Luo Lin suddenly asked a strange question: "Have you told Yu Mo about this before?"

"Uh, probably not," Ivy said. "I only told my mom."

"But..." she added, "maybe mom told him that we have always had a good relationship."

Lorraine looked ahead. The car he drove to the wasteland was a black off-road vehicle. The bulletproof glass clearly reflected the desolate ruins outside: "You didn't tell me."

Ivy was puzzled: "Don't we just need to report to the class teacher?"

The head teacher does not teach classes, but is responsible for all matters other than classes, including but not limited to taking leave and entering and leaving the base.

After the test, they had a day of free time. Ivy did not ask for extra leave and she planned to go and come back quickly.

She didn't remember ever having such a close relationship with Teacher Lorraine.

Lorraine said: "Yu Mo seems to know you very well."

"Because we grew up together," Ivy said. From now on, she was cautious about every question that might affect her joining the expedition. "You seem to be suspicious of something."

This black SUV is as tall and spacious as Lorraine. It does not contain any ornaments or decorations, only the weapons and bullets he needs for his work. The only thing that can be called a decoration is the black walnut interior panels on the inside of the door. These traditional woods decorate this powerful car and, like their owner, suppress their explosive power and remain quietly conservative.

"Yes," Lorraine said, "I suspect that Yu Mo is a demon who can read minds. In Chinese, the pronunciation of 'Yu Mo' is also close to 'temptation'."

Ivy: “Huh?”

She opened her mouth in shock.

"You cursed Loose in your heart," Lorraine said calmly, "and when he used the word 'continue', you didn't object."

Ivy tried to explain: "…Maybe it's because I have cursed Song Feng in my heart before."

Lorraine asked, "Like you are cursing me in your heart right now?"

Ivy: “No!”

"See, this is the correct subconscious reaction," Lorraine has come to a conclusion. "Just now in the infirmary, why did you curse Song Feng? Want him to die?"

"It hasn't come to that yet—no," Ivy looked into Lorraine's sharp eyes. He was really good at interrogation. With just a look, she couldn't lie to those rational black eyes. She said slowly, "I just cursed him for the bullet that went off accidentally."

"This is even more stupid than cursing him dead. I hope no innocent people will be hurt," Lorraine said. "Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Ivy."

Ivy struggled to ask a question: "Teacher, can I ask what conclusion you drew from this? Do you really think Yu Mo is a devil?"

"Stupid," Lorraine said, "just kidding."

Ivy: “…”

"However, eighteen years ago, the government did start research on 'mind reading'," Lorraine said, "collecting all of a person's past memories, building a database, and then using her micro-expressions and heart rate..."

He was still talking, but Ivy couldn't understand him anymore.

She was dazed.

Although Mr. Lorraine was handsome, what was he talking about? She was confused and had no idea what he was saying.

After finally listening to him finish, Ivy turned around and asked, "As long as a chip is implanted in the body, you can use 'mind reading'? Is this true?"

"Really," Lorraine said, "Just like I know now, you are thinking, 'What is the teacher talking about? It's confusing and confusing. I don't understand.'"

Ivy was shocked: "Ah!"

"Please shut up," Lorraine said expressionlessly, "I'm lying to you. I can tell from your face that no one would collect so much information to read the mind of a fool."

Ivy: “…”

Lorraine took Ivy directly to Songxu's repair car.

He scolded Song Xu severely and deducted ten points from him in person.

"You occupied the public channel for no reason, talked nonsense, and spread your classmates' privacy at will. What you did today is unthinkable," Lorraine said. "Student Songxu, I hope you can realize that this is a simulated battlefield, not a soap opera."

Songxu Dog looked at Ivy and saw that she was safe and sound, then nodded: "Teacher is right."

Lorraine said sternly: "I need to remind you two that any unethical emotional relationships are not advocated in the base."

Songxu Dog looked at Ivy and said, "The teacher is right."

He thought, "Teacher, you are just a little more handsome and suits Ivy's tastes. What's the big deal? Ivy's partner has no objection. How can you, a third party who came later, have the qualifications to condemn the third party?"

Lorraine put away the scoreboard and glanced at the two of them coldly: "I hope you can pass the test smoothly, especially you, Ivy, please stop beating your classmates."

Ivy said, "I'll try...I will!"

She kept her head down, not daring to look at Lorraine's face.

It was strange. She didn't know why, but at this moment, she had a feeling that if she looked at him directly, she would blush.

Ivy didn't realize what was happening to her, but this vague feeling made her uneasy.

Especially after Lorraine said, "I can see it on your face."

She was worried that he would see through her.

"Look up," Lorraine said sternly, "I taught you to look directly at the teacher when you answer."

Ivy raised her head slightly, looked at his Adam's apple, and prayed in her heart that he would not notice.

There was a scorching sun behind him, and the sun made her sweat. The sweat wet her eyelashes and fell into her eyes. She guessed that the sweat was salty because her eyeballs were now hot, salty and painful.

"Say it again," said Lorraine. "I didn't hear it."

Ivy saw the sweat on his neck, hanging on the blue veins, and his neat black military shirt was still tightly fastened with the top button.

No matter how hot it is, he will endure it.

She didn't even dare to look him in the eye: "I promise, I won't beat up my classmates again."

Lorraine was very satisfied with this answer. He glanced at Song Xu with a warning, and only turned and left after getting the latter's assurance that he would "not occupy public channels again".

Sitting in the SUV, Lorraine saw from the rearview mirror that Ivy picked up a piece of wood and chased Song Xu to beat him. The fight between teenagers made this place not look like a wasteland that had just been occupied.

He frowned and shook his head imperceptibly, suddenly realizing that Ivy was still too young for him.

bite.

Lorraine raised her wrist.

Xin Lan sent a message at this time.

"You guessed it right."

"There's something wrong with Ivy's blood sample"

"According to the data retrieved, Yu Mo's name has appeared on every blood sample test report for the past fifteen years."
