Chapter 446 The Philosopher’s Audience

"Farewell, Mr. Philosopher."

Huai Shi picked up the key and waved to the kid not far away: "Seral, let's go."

But Seral hesitated, but did not move. Instead, he subconsciously looked at the philosopher.

Huai Shi frowned.

"There is one thing I forgot to say." The philosopher glanced at the child beside him, "He came to Madura to find me."

"What's the meaning?"

"My manpower told me that there was a strange invisible man in the Yogyakarta area, who seemed to be a child, wandering around. Then I spent a while and found his whereabouts."

The philosopher lowered his head and glanced at Serral: "We talked on the phone before, and I told him that he can come to Madura to find me. I will provide him with the education and life he deserves so that he will not suffer from hunger and cold. Forced... the final result is that he is willing to come to Madura to find me."

Huaishi finally recalled the philosopher's surprise when they first met.

What surprised him was not his own age, but Seyal's... He also didn't expect Seyal to be such an immature child.

But he was not interested in what the philosopher had to say.

"The Astronomical Society has a special care institution and care policy for such underage sublimators." Huai Shi retorted calmly: "I think you don't need to worry about this."

"Why not ask him?"

The philosopher turned back and glanced at Seyal: "This kind of thing should be decided by the parties themselves, right?"

"He's still a kid."

"No, he is already an ascendant."

The philosopher said seriously: "Every ascendant must be responsible for his own destiny, no matter how small he is. Neither you nor I can make choices for him, right?"

Huai Shi looked at him in silence for a long time, then lowered her head to look at Saiyal.

Seyal was looking at him too.

"Okay." Huai Shi sighed, "Let the two of us talk."

"OK."

The philosopher nodded and stood far away, as if he didn't want to waste time. The pen in his hand was still writing and annotating the lesson plan.

Wait patiently.

Huai Shi glanced at him, then withdrew her gaze and looked at the kid in front of her.

"You have heard that this uncle who doesn't look like a good person wants to adopt you."

Huai Shi shrugged: "If you are willing to follow me, I will contact the Astronomical Society. Well, you don't know what the Astronomical Society is... Anyway, I can guarantee that you can get proper arrangements.

Now, the choice is yours, and it's up to you to choose your own destiny, Seyal. "

Seyal looked at him blankly, and then at the philosopher in the distance.

Some are not convinced.

"Is he really the philosopher of Madura?"

Huai Shi shrugged: "I can't guarantee whether he really has the trophy and identity of a philosopher, but if he is someone who is called a philosopher, it is probably him."

“I hear about him all the time!”

Seyal said excitedly: "Everyone says that he is the boss among the bosses! When he speaks, no one else dares to speak. As long as he coughs, everyone will kneel on the ground in fear... He asked me to do it. Doula is looking for him, it turns out it’s true!”

His eyes sparkled.

No need to answer anymore.

Huai Shi sighed helplessly: "Okay, I understand..."

He stood up and waved to the philosopher in the distance, indicating that he could come over.

As if he already knew the result, the philosopher looked calm and determined. He glanced at the excited Seyal and nodded slightly: "It seems that I am more popular with children?"

Huai Shi couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Let out a long sigh.

He reached out, took out his ID from his pocket, and unfolded it.

"Now, then, I stand before you, Mr. Philosopher, as a registered military attaché of the Astronomical Society," he said. "I need your assurance."

The philosopher looked calm and told Huai Shi: "I will raise Seyal as an educator and do my best to make him a kind person who is harmless to the current situation."

"Won't you use him as a tool?" Huai Shi asked again, "Won't you lead him astray?"

"I swear."

The philosopher raised the rosary beads on his right wrist.

"You don't need gods to guarantee you here."

Huai Shi raised the certificate in her hand and showed him the Astronomical Society's logo: "You just need to be honest about it."

"Then, I promise."

Without any hesitation or guilt, the philosopher made a pledge to the Astronomical Society.

Huai Shi became more and more heartbroken.

A philosophical godfather with flawed concepts, and a bold invisible kid... Who knows what kind of sparks these two can create when they come together.

He could have taken Seyal away forcibly.

But what's the point?

The philosopher could adopt Seyal through formal procedures. Seyal can also come out to the philosopher again.

All he was satisfied with was his meaningless kindness.

After taking a deep look at the philosopher in front of him, and then looking down at the excited Sayal, Huai Shi couldn't help but shake his head, stretched out his hand, and rubbed Saiyal's hair vigorously.

"Then let's say goodbye, kid."

He thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Before you leave, can you tell me what your dream is?"

"Huh?" Seyal didn't understand.

Huaishi explained: “It’s something that you have always dreamed of realizing.”

"I……"

Seyal thought for a while, hesitated, and finally began to blurt out his inner thoughts: "I want everyone to see me! Can such an idea be considered a dream?"

Does it count?

Huaishi doesn’t know.

He just suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

The sublime who chooses to hide himself because he is afraid of harm actually desires that everyone can see him... and the philosopher who remains skeptical of everything can gain the unconditional trust of others.

It's so contradictory and ridiculous.

"May your wish come true soon, Seyal."

Huai Shi reached out, pressed his shoulder, and said seriously: "I hope everyone can see you... and I hope you can remember that among the people watching you, there is a very fierce big brother."

Seyal nodded in understanding.

Huai Shi laughed.

Maybe one day, Seyal will understand his choice today?

I also hope that he will be able to get what he wants through upright methods.

"Goodbye, kid."

Huai Shi said goodbye with her head held high.

Seyal waved to him, turned around and followed the school guard.

The philosopher promised that starting from tomorrow, he will start his new life here without any further harm.

Although I remain suspicious of this guy's bad character, he is not willing to deceive a child for any dirty purpose.

"It's emotional, isn't it?"

The philosopher smiled, watched Seiyar's figure go away, and suddenly said: "Sometimes, I feel that only children are the only living and real existence in this world."

"The vast majority of people are like this. When they open their eyes and face the world, they are full of curiosity, but after they are covered with lies one after another, either benevolent or malicious, they gradually become different."

This incomprehensible middle-aged man showed a sad expression: “Once you enter this society, no matter how great and upright your ideals, how magnificent your dreams, how sharp your edges, they will all be erased bit by bit.

Whether it is determination or dreams, they will be gradually forgotten in the dust... Too many regrets, too much unwillingness, will eventually disappear in the long time, like dew. "

After hearing this, Huai Shi couldn't help but nod in agreement: "To be honest, of all the words you say, this is the only one that makes some sense."

"Am I being disliked?" asked the philosopher.

"Absolutely." Huai Shi nodded and said calmly: "You are the kind of person I hate. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get along."

Then the philosopher laughed:

"But you won't stop thinking, will you?"

"Maybe occasionally, but it won't be because of you."

Huai Shi thought for a while and answered seriously: "It's for things that are more worth thinking about."

He turned around and got into the car, started the engine, and prepared to leave.

"The sea of ​​silver has gravity, Mr. Huaishi."

Outside the car window, the lonely man suddenly said: "Compared with the eternal ocean, we are just a wisp of water mist. Every independent soul must fight all the time."

Otherwise, even if it sublimates, it will only be soaring for a moment... and will eventually fall to the earth. "

This is the philosopher's final farewell.

"——I sincerely wish you can soar in the sky for a long time."

Huaishi didn't answer.

The off-road vehicle has roared away.

The philosopher stood there, watching him go away quietly.

Until the school bell rang behind him, he picked up the lesson plan, turned around and walked into the school.

Four hours later.

After returning the car to the forestry association in Madura region, Huaishi came to the dock area.

The Forestry Association was much more generous than he expected.

After accounting for Huai Shi's workload, not only did he subsidize Huai Shi's gas expenses, but he also gave him an additional remuneration of 12,000 US dollars.

There is more money.

No need to go all the way to Antarctica begging for food.

But Huaishi didn't feel happy at all.

The conversation with the philosopher was not as pleasant as he expected, but made him extremely unhappy.

After answering Huai Shi's questions, he waved his hand and left Huai Shi with more doubts.

Likewise, he shows his attitude and life without any disguise.

Facing Huai Shi's rebuttal so openly, he would never change at all because of Huai Shi's displeasure.

It was as if there were many friends in the world with whom he had a pleasant conversation and had good compatibility. There are also people in this world that he cannot understand but still exist.

No matter which side it is, it is one side of this world. No matter which one they are, they are all part of the sublimated ones.

"This world is so complicated." Huai Shi sighed softly.

On the backpack beside him, Crow nodded, "Who says it's not?"

"I'm a little confused."

"It doesn't matter, many people can't understand it." Crow said lazily: "But you still have a lot of time to figure it out, don't you?"

Huai Shi nodded slightly.

Not long after, the whistle woke him up from his reverie.

At the edge of the pier, a steamboat set up a plank and then a man wearing a white navy hat popped out of it and waved to Huai Shi.

"There's no time to explain, hurry up and get on the boat!"

As if he had seen him before somewhere, the familiar man waved to him and said with joy, "There is a long journey waiting for us!"

"Hello, I am Huai Shi."

The young man shook hands with him and looked at his face. He always felt that he had seen this face that deserved a beating somewhere, but he couldn't remember it as he kept searching for memories.

"How may I call you?"

"Just call me K...ahem, Captain Kate Peterman!" The familiar man grinned and patted him on the shoulder: "Sit tight, young man, we are going to Australia!"

Soon, the whistle blew loudly.

Carrying the only passenger, the steamboat named Mayflower roared into the distance.

He was as happy as a wild dog wandering on the sea.

A new journey is about to begin.
