The Original Seeker

"Many of you here should be here for the five percent promised at that time."

"That's right!" Many people in the Dragon Group said in unison.

"This matter is also high-risk and high-yield. I will wait for you for half a day until 7 o'clock this afternoon, Italian time."

After Bai Mo finished speaking, he hung up the phone, quickly packed his luggage and started heading to Shaowof.

Having just made another fortune, he generously chartered a car. Although it would definitely be faster if he walked on two legs, he would have to wait in Shaowof too soon. It would be better to take a chartered car comfortably.

"Rome is in such a state, and there is a tsunami all around. Are you not in chaos?" Bai Mo chatted with the driver.

"Some people who saw the news and thought there was going to be a nuclear war went to the supermarket to buy like crazy. As for my neighbor who thought the world was going to end, he drove his car and fled with his family to the Alps. He thought the world-ending flood should flood Not."

"No one is making trouble?"

"Of course there is, but before the police even took action, they were immediately suppressed by our 'second government'."

"Second government? You mean, the mafia?" Bai Mo continued to ask.

"Yes, who else is Italy's second government? It's them." The driver continued jokingly, "If society is in chaos, who will they turn to to collect protection fees, and loan sharks to ask for money? Robbery can support several people, and the underworld also needs to eat. And if the social order is in chaos, why do you have to be the eldest brother and I am the younger brother, and we don't know who will die and who will live in a duel with a knife. "

"The protection fee makes sense, but loan sharking seems a bit far-fetched."

The driver laughed to cover up his unexplainable embarrassment and continued talking happily.

"In the final analysis, the underworld is also promoting their own order. If they are completely trapped in an island of isolation between people as described in those apocalyptic novels, not to mention anything else, just the group of people who have no source of drugs. Drug addicts have to explode, after all, Sicily is not a place to grow poppies!”

"But those guys who had half their brains eaten by poisonous insects shouldn't have thought of this." Bai Mo asked with a smile.

"Of course they don't have the heart to think so far ahead. If they have time, they might as well think about where to get some money to get another tube. But the big leader who controls the sales network is different. To be able to stand in that position, they must still have the foresight. Yes, their huge interests are based on the effective operation of society. As vested interests, they will naturally do their best to maintain order, at least the superficial order.”

"It feels like you don't talk like an ordinary driver."

"I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Florence College, and my main field of study is political philosophy. But my wife said that I would only talk about some nonsense all day long, and I couldn't make any money, so I became a driver as a side job."

"Haha!" Bai Mo smiled again and did not comment.

"Sir, our situation in Italy is quite special. I don't know what the situation is like in your country."

"It looks fine from the TV, but a few areas are a bit messy."

"It's understandable that careerists are everywhere, but it seems like the timing was wrong."

"How do you say this?"

"According to the news I saw on the Internet, a war reporter uploaded a risk-taking video on Youtu. The video captured the Mao-Russian army directly attacking the guerrillas in order to quickly eliminate the Chenche army that had once again provoked rebellion in the territory. Multiple nuclear bombs were dropped in the entrenched area, almost wiping out the rebels and all the local people who supported the rebels in one fell swoop. However, although this behavior was crazy, it did not arouse strong criticism from the international community. They were all indifferent accusations. "

"Every country has put all their energy into disaster relief and stabilizing the domestic environment. How can they care about foreign affairs? Tens of millions of their own family members have died, and hundreds of thousands of outsiders have died, which is just a number. In the final analysis, death No matter how many people there are, they are not one of our own and do nothing.”

"This method of maintaining stability is also unique. We are worthy of being a fighting nation. Taking advantage of the time when all other countries are numb to the dead, we come here to uproot the rebels who have hated us for many years. I wonder what will happen to China." Bai Mo thought to himself.

"I haven't had such a happy conversation in a long time. People around me know my temperament and try their best to avoid starting conversations. I'm too embarrassed to chase them all the time. Foreign tourists rarely talk to the driver like you do." The driver. Said a little aggrieved.

Bai Mo suddenly found that he didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to smile.

The driver continued chattering: "The world is about to change. The emergence of spiritual energy has completely changed the political trend of the world. As long as the power gap between individuals continues to differentiate, the future will definitely belong to the strongest dictator, and this will This kind of dictatorship is more stable. As long as the strongest one survives and he still has the power to suppress everyone, his regime will still be unbreakable and the possibility of a coup will become very low. I suddenly remembered Cicero's words, "Strength." Those who do whatever they want will do whatever they want, while those who are weak will accept it'.

The driver's emotions seemed to be endless, but Bai Mo was rarely impatient and listened to his words while admiring the scenery along the way.

"Do you think the dictatorship of the strong is good?" Bai Mo asked the driver, who had a bookish look on his face and was giving advice.

"How can we generalize about the system? The complexity of human nature leads to the complexity of analysis. Some people plan to build an utopia in their own minds and let everyone live according to the way they think is good. Then the problem arises, What if the 'good' behavior in the mind of a strong person is bad in the eyes of others? For example, he thinks that everyone should have the same values, outlook on life, and world view, so that there is no relationship between people. The contradiction will disappear naturally, and then he will forcefully promote this method, so what? "

"Sure enough, philosophers think differently from us in the way we think about science." Bai Mo did not answer his question directly, but he had silently remembered this unusual philosophical driver in his heart.

"Are you also a scholar?" the driver asked happily.

"Natural Science Researcher."

"Nice to meet you. May I ask your name? My name is Tigra Sue." Only then did the two people, who had very different ways of thinking, realize that they had been chatting for so long and still didn't know each other's name.

"Bai Mo. And your name reminds me of Socrates."

"Many people say this. Maybe that's why I went to study for a doctorate in philosophy."

"Ask a more private question."

"Um?"

"Are you an esper?"

"Yes, it's just a very useless ability. In my eyes, people with different emotions will emit different colors of light. Angry people emit red, scared people emit blue, regret The color is purple...the darker the color, the greater the intensity of the relative emotion, but almost everyone's emotions are mixed colors, and it is too tiring to distinguish one by one." Tigra told him without hesitation. Bai Mo said.

"Then, what color am I now?" Bai Mo asked curiously.

"It's strange. I can't see the color on you. In my eyes, you are just an ordinary person."
