Chapter 439 Where to Go
"Tiral."
Just after sitting down, the ascendant introduced himself: "This is my last name, you can just call me Tiral. As you can see, I work in this aquarium and improve myself by the way. "
"Ah, Huaishi."
Huai Shi shook hands with him again: "People from Eastern Xia."
"Are you here for a trip?"
"That's right." Huai Shi patted the backpack next to him and shrugged: "You are traveling on a budget."
"It may be a bit presumptuous, could you please take a look at this..."
Before Huai Shi could ask a question, Tilar took out a brochure from the leather bag beside him and held it up with both hands.
"Coral reef... conservation plan?"
Huai Shi raised his eyebrows curiously and looked at the back of the brochure. The publisher was the Southeast Asia Marine Conservation Association, and Tilar's name was also listed among the honorary vice presidents.
The brochure also talks about the impact of climate change on Indonesia's local coral colonies.
"It has gone from more than a thousand to less than seven hundred."
After reading Huai's poem, Tilar said cautiously: "If this continues, if we leave it alone, I'm afraid the local coral population will be completely extinct. Since the ecological pollution in Australia, some of the coral samples we have taken pains to preserve have also been destroyed. In a precarious state.”
Like a passionate salesman, once he opens his mouth, he talks endlessly about the pollution and impact on the local marine environment, as well as their response measures and rescue operations over the years.
It was completely beyond Huaishi's expectation.
He didn't know why Tiral told him this.
When Tiral said that his mouth was dry and he picked up the coffee and found that he had finished it, he put down the cup awkwardly: "Sorry, I can't stop talking about this."
"Ah, it doesn't matter. In fact, I haven't paid attention to this aspect."
Huaishi scratched his head.
He sensed no malice coming from Tilar, and when he spoke, the excitement and enthusiasm he revealed could not be disguised.
This man is indeed sincere about what he claims to do to protect the local marine environment.
Rarely sincere.
Moreover, while he was talking endlessly, Huai Shi had already eaten all the food in this coffee shop.
Well, I was half full.
"It's just..." Huai Shi scratched his head: "You are telling me this, do you need my help? In this case, I may not be able to help you."
He only has more than 4,000 yuan on him, which is not enough to survive in Antarctica. How can he have time to protect Indonesia's marine environment?
"No no no."
Hearing that he wanted to pay, Tiral quickly waved his hand and refused: "We have formal social fundraising activities and sponsors, and we don't need this kind of private donation. This is illegal and improper - I mean , if someone tries to persuade you in this way, you should sternly refuse and report it to the police."
"Ah?" Huai Shi was stunned.
Then, Tiral took out an invitation letter and a small coral badge from his wallet, and pushed them over the table.
"Thank you for your willingness to learn about our cause. Can you please join us?"
Tilar was afraid that Huai Shi would misunderstand, so he spoke quickly: "Members of the Marine Conservation Society have no obligations or restrictions, and no membership fees or additional payments are required - I mean, if you are interested, you can join, we will organize regular meetings Diving and various activities, of course it doesn’t matter whether you participate or not.”
"Uh..." Huaishi was puzzled: "Then what exactly do you want me to do?"
"To be honest, we need to improve some international influence. If you can pay more attention to Indonesia's marine environment in the future and say a few words for it, that will be it."
Tiral sighed helplessly: "The Australian fishing fleet is becoming more and more excessive every year, and their industrial areas are polluting emissions. We can only win international solidarity and support."
"Although I don't understand much, I just want to say a few words of support for you, right?"
Huai Shi didn't think it mattered.
Rather, he was even more surprised that Tiral took such a long time for such a small thing.
"That would be great."
Tilar watched Huai Shi accept the small badge and nodded with satisfaction: "After all, many foreign sublimators don't care much about the ecological environment - do you need any help? If you don't mind, I can give it to you. Find a pretty good tour guide.”
"No need."
Huaishi waved her hand.
Although if he opens his mouth, Tiral will definitely not mind such a small amount of money - from what he said just now, he has shares in the aquarium behind him. He is extremely rich and belongs to the wealthy class.
But in this case, the original intention of the crow is lost.
He even wanted to try to see if he could live in the current situation with his own abilities, without relying on the help of others and extraordinary human strength.
Whether he plays the piano and performs as an entertainer, or buys a food cart and takes it all the way to Canberra, he is trying to return to a normal life.
"Yes, that's right, this is what I meant, and you actually understand it!"
A certain black-hearted woman boasted proudly without any humility. Then her tone changed slightly: "But there's no need to be too deliberate."
"Huh?" Huaishi was puzzled.
"Didn't you see it?" Crow said: "In the final analysis, aren't the lives of sublime people and the lives of ordinary people both your lives? They are all part of your life, and there is no need to separate them forcefully.
Isn’t the one in front of you a good combination?
There is no need to indulge in fighting and killing. As a normal sublimator, can't you also build your own career and have your own life?
You just helped him. If you have any questions, you can ask him for advice. "
"..."
Huaishi was silent for a long time.
Tiral noticed the change in his expression and stopped talking. Instead, he looked at him curiously, not understanding what the young and excessive sublimator in front of him was hesitating about.
"Is such that."
Huai Shi thought for a moment and then asked: "In your opinion, Mr. Tilar, what kind of life is the life of a sublime person?"
"Huh?" Tilar seemed confused.
"I mean--"
Huai Shi thought for a while and asked softly: "What is the normal life of a sublimated person?"
"...I see, I understand."
After thinking for a long time, Tilar nodded seriously, understanding the confusion of the young man in front of him, so he smiled: "Mr. Huaishi, what do you think of 'sublimation'?"
"Um?"
"Do you think sublimation is a good thing?" Tilar asked seriously: "It does bring power, but it also brings danger, doesn't it? How do you think your own nature has sublimated?"
"To be honest, I haven't thought about it." Huai Shi shook his head in embarrassment: "But I think this may be a turning point in my life and my good luck."
"Are you lucky? Many people think so, and some think it's a curse from the devil."
Tilar nodded in agreement: "However, in my opinion, sublimation does not give us power, but the power chooses us."
"How to say?"
"This is a talent, Mr. Huaishi, a talent that can make up for your shortcomings and enable you to realize your ideals."
Tiral raised his hand and ordered another cup of coffee. After sorting out his thoughts, he said: "I am the son of a fisherman. I have six older brothers and one younger brother. To be honest, my childhood was not happy. It may have been one of the things that elevated me, but I have no resentment toward my family.
It is already not easy for my parents to work hard to support us. I am not qualified to ask for more things. I have no TV, no games, and no mobile phone.
The only place I can relax is in the ocean. "
"Many times, when I feel pain, I will dive and swim in the sea, looking at those dazzling schools of fish and corals. The world in the sea is so quiet and huge. Just staring at it can make people feel A burst of happiness.”
“I’m eager to be a part of it,” he said.
"Until one day, when I was diving, I dived to a too dangerous depth. When I felt suffocated, it was already too late. At the most desperate moment, I saw a huge whale. A beluga."
Tilar smiled and said, "It didn't save me, it didn't even notice me, and it didn't care about me, a dying human being.
It rises from the deep sea like a mountain, carrying a song like the tide. The white body is lonely and huge. It rises on its own, sings, passes through the forest-like coral bush, and disappears into the depths of the ocean.
To be honest, I was shocked at that time. "
Recalling the past, he said seriously: "I even forgot that I was drowning and that I was about to die. Because it was so beautiful, like a bubble in eternal time - it made me feel that I could see In such a scene, it would not be a pity even if you die."
"By the time I realized what I was doing, I had already been pulled onto the boat by my father. My father beat me violently, told me that I almost died, and warned me not to get on his boat in the future and not to do the same thing as him. Now that I am a fisherman, I go back to study and prepare for the exam.
But I know that I am no longer the same. "
"I've seen the beauty of this world," he said.
"After I graduated from college and met my former teacher, I realized that I had become a sublimator. After some things, I became a mermaid, and I got this talent of embracing the ocean."
Tilar crossed his fingers and looked at him seriously: "I believe that this is a blessing from fate, giving me the opportunity to realize my dreams. Now that I have realized my dreams, I can be with them in the sea. Changyou, I also want to protect their world from being destroyed by human greed."
"This is my life."
"The life of an ascendant is no different from that of ordinary people, Mr. Huaishi."
He looked into Huai Shi's eyes and said word by word: "The key is, what kind of person do you want to be, a young sublimator?
You feel confused about your life and everything you have, right?
The impact that sublimation brings to you is too huge, so huge that you get lost in it and don't know where to go - you will feel like you are leaving the earth and drifting to a place you don't understand. This is not because the world has abandoned you. It’s because you haven’t found where you’re supposed to be yet. "
He raised his hand, pointed at Huai Shi, and said seriously: "So, you should not learn from others, but ask yourself."
"——Mr. Huaishi, where do you want to go?"
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly realized what he was saying.
A sudden slap on the thigh.
Finally found the answer.
"I don't know either." He replied loudly.
When people no longer worry about survival, what will they choose to do? (very curious
