Chapter 22
Juan thought calmly:
Beautiful Planet and Soyuz spacecraft were screened separately, and the times were inconsistent!
So which side does he belong to?
Obviously, Soma, who announced that all members were qualified, did not count him as a human being from the beautiful planet, but Bernard on the spacecraft thought that he had passed the planet screening.
So, he was missed!
Juan breathed a sigh of relief and joked: "A tryst? Who did you hook up with again?"
"The new moon elf in the mall, Lisa, is absolutely on point. Have you seen her?"
"No, I haven't been to the mall since I came back, but it doesn't matter if it's on time. In this situation, who would dare to go there?"
At this time, the security captain Jack walked into the restaurant with a beautiful elf with blond hair.
Bernardo pursed his lips: "Just because you don't dare doesn't mean that others don't dare. Did you see that? Let's be on point."
It was Jack who Juan paid attention to.
He found that Jack was a little strange and seemed to be out of his mind.
The halfling waiter who was taking orders had already asked twice, and the elf opposite also frowned slightly, but Jack seemed to be still thinking about something.
…
The next day, Juan got up very late, even though he had barely slept all night.
After getting up, Juan didn't go to have breakfast. He stayed up until noon. After guessing that the genetic screening of the spacecraft crew was over and he was really hungry, he walked out of the room.
In the restaurant, Juan met the webmaster Soma.
"Hello, Juan, I'm glad you're okay. I've been worried about you all night."
Juan did not see the same dark circles on Soma's refreshed face as his own.
"Soma, how could something happen to me? I have always kept myself clean."
"Of course. You know what? This morning I heard that an abnormality was detected on the spacecraft. The first thing I thought of at the time was your green hair."
Juan's heart tightened, and then he thought of Bernard.
"I left after the screening and didn't care about the person behind me. Do you know who it is?"
"It's a young man from the spacecraft maintenance team. He's very young. What a pity. Why can't he think about it?"
It was not his good friend Bernard. Juan breathed a sigh of relief: "What's wrong?"
"Dead. It was said to be an accident, but I asked Jack to look at it, and he told me with certainty that it was suicide."
Juan's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Even if there is an abnormality in the genetic screening, there is no need to commit suicide!"
Soma sighed and said regretfully: "That's right, even if you can't board the spaceship, you can still apply for immigration here.
"What I have here is ownerless land and humanoid creatures that can be driven. I can make him live like a king. Why can't he think about dying? Alas."
In the afternoon, Juan met the navigator Bernard again in the bar.
"I heard that a young man from the maintenance team committed suicide?"
"No, it's not suicide, it's an accident. Where did you hear that?"
"Soma told me. He said he asked Jack to see it, and Jack said it was suicide."
Bernard sighed and took a sip of cognac listlessly.
Juan asked the bartender for a draft beer: "What's going on?"
"For the insurance money," Bernard continued without waiting for Juan to ask, "Space flight is very risky, and the company has purchased a huge amount of insurance for every employee, but the insurance is only valid when they are on the job.
"The young man must have thought about it last night, so as soon as the screening results came out today, he walked into the nuclear power cabin."
Juan moistened his throat with the refreshing foam of whole-wheat draft beer: "Even if he is fired, he won't be unable to survive. Why did he do so well?"
"That young man just got married and bought a one-bedroom apartment in Main Star with a loan. Before he came out, his wife got pregnant and was resigned and lost his income. The whole family relied on him.
"He was screened and found to be abnormal. Once the results are reported, the dismissal form from the personnel department will definitely come out, so before the dismissal process is completed..."
"But if you commit suicide, the insurance company won't pay."
"No, it's not a suicide, it's an accident. The maintenance team leader reported the accident, and the captain made the final decision."
Juan took a big gulp of light yellow draft beer and breathed a sigh of relief: "Both the captain and the maintenance team leader are good people."
"Yeah, who says it isn't? I heard that the maintenance team leader watched the young man walk into the nuclear power cabin without stopping him."
"This, this is against safety regulations."
After a moment of silence, Bernard said with a wry smile: "It's against the rules, but everyone, including me, feels that the maintenance team leader did the right thing."
Bernard drank all the cognac in the glass in one breath, and asked the bartender for another glass. His voice gradually became higher:
"Haha, I watched someone walk into the nuclear power cabin without stopping him, but everyone still thinks he did the right thing! Why? Why is this happening?! Why?! Tell me why?!"
Bernard's suddenly waving arm hit the beer glass Juan was holding to his mouth.
The startled Juan accidentally bit the inner wall of his mouth.
In the end, Bernard was drunk and was sent back to the room by the waiter.
Juan, who returned to the room by himself, looked at his mouth in the mirror in the bathroom.
He had bitten the inner wall of his mouth before, more than once, and each time it developed into oral ulcers.
But now, the area that was supposed to bleed was so intact that there wasn't even a scar.
Juan thought of the griffon that had been covered in bruises, had one eye blind and had its tail broken off.
I thought of the life magic of tree elves.
I thought of the life essence of the World Tree, and the short-lived crow's feet and white hair of Moss Baenre.
In my current situation, does it count as being genetically contaminated by humanoid creatures?
I'm afraid it's calculated.
This time I passed the test by luck, and I should be able to continue traveling on the spaceship.
But when you get to the next planet, you will definitely have to be screened again before boarding the ship. Then you may not have the good luck this time.
And even if you can get away with it every time you board the ship, what should you do when you return to the main star?
Bernard said that the starship port on the main star has implemented the most stringent inspections, and it is estimated that it will not get through.
When the time comes, how can I explain to the people in the Ministry of Justice that I deliberately concealed it along the way?
Juan thought of the expressionless Agent K from the Alliance Bureau of Investigation, and remembered that he said that the Alliance Bureau of Investigation was affiliated with the Ministry of Justice.
And their style of doing things may not accept explanation at all.
The country is in dire straits, and the future is dark.
At this time, the seemingly harmless face of the stationmaster Soma appeared in Juan's mind.
"It's such a pity for that young man. He can't board the spaceship. You can apply for immigration here."
migrant!
Juan seriously considered this option for the first time.
Unlike the spaceship maintenance man who committed suicide, he has no wife and no child to be born. As a single man who "has enough to feed the whole family," he is very free.
His house on the main star is just a capsule room, the area is not as big as the bathroom of this guest room, and it has been mortgaged to the bank, so even if it is lost, it is not a big deal.
It's a pity that the main star account is not something that can be obtained casually.
However, people are alive but their hukou is dead. How can a living person be driven to a dead end by a dead hukou?
This kind of thing did not happen in the past, does not happen now, and will not happen in the future.
At least that's what Juan thinks.
So, he figured it out.
There was a bright future, and Juan saw the way forward.
Chapter completed!
