    The fire was burning, warming the cold night in early spring.  The orange firelight was beating, and the girl Mu Qiong was sitting by the fireplace, curled up on the thick sofa.  She suddenly felt chilled all over, not only because of the temperature, but also because of the thick historical monographs she held in her hands.  Orlando is a biologist, and his collection of history books is not extensive.  But witch hunting, a historical phenomenon that deserves a lot of attention in the entire history of Europe and even the entire history of human civilization, has more or less records.  And these unprofessional and accurate records have already made the girl Mu Qiong subconsciously hug her arms tightly.  For the first time, she felt that reading was so difficult, because the words in front of her recorded a living aggregation of human cruelty, darkness, madness, violence, ignorance, ignorance, deception, greed, and blood.  That period of hundreds of years was filled with the most perverted rape, the most shameless frame-ups, the most ignorant blind obedience, the most oppressive persecution, and the most varied and horrific execution methods.  These historical events that actually happened are more terrifying than any horror movie, and more terrifying than any sad novel that people dare not touch.  Because the movie and the novel are fake, but these are true.  Seeing this, you can deeply feel that human beings can really be so vicious.  "Sofia, what's going on? What's bothering you?" Orlando intuitively knew something was going on. He put down everything he was doing, boiled water and poured a cup of tea.  The aroma of tea overflowed. He moved the bench with the refreshments, sat down in front of the girl Mu Qiong and handed the tea cup: "What happened? Why are you suddenly reading this type of book?" "I" The girl Mu Qiong  Joan was in a state of flux, and some similar information suddenly flashed through her mind.  Leaders, quotations, revolutionary young generals, bullpens, criticisms, demons and monsters, iron hats, street parades, beatings, smashing, looting and burning, persecution, a huge amount of scattered information flashed through my mind like bad frames inserted in an old movie.  It is fleeting and elusive, but it is real.  The young girl Mu Qiong suddenly discovered that this was not the first time she had been exposed to such crazy human evil. She had a vague feeling and knew that she had already experienced similar cruel eras, and that she had also been targeted by the entire group like a witch in a history book.  But no matter how cruel that era was, there were always warm and powerful supporters and protectors around us.  A bloody knife raised high at the entrance of the village flashed in my mind. The strong arm holding the knife and the majestic figure holding up the sky made people feel that no matter how cruel the era was, it was just about helping each other and overcoming difficulties together.  But now, looking back at the present, the girl Mu Qiong feels even more lonely.  She was confused and didn't know where she came from.  She was lost and didn't know how to retrieve the secret treasures of life.  She was silent for a long time, and finally found a trace of warmth in the tea cup in her hand and in the eyes of the old professor who looked at her gently.  At this moment, the old professor finally gained some color and was no longer just a passerby.  "Professor." The girl Mu Qiong said a thousand words, and finally turned into a question: "Why do you want to hunt witches?" "This this is a complicated question." Orlando knew that this student's brain circuit was strange, so he would not go.  Trying to understand what she meant, he could only rub his temples and reply matter-of-factly: "Sofia, you are still a child, you may not understand. To be honest, I can't tell because I am not good at the humanities. Hunting  There are too many reasons behind the witch, but I think the most fundamental reason for such crazy behavior lies in one word. "Fear" "Fear?"  Understood: "What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of?" "Yes, child, fear, this is a very terrible emotion that can lead to many shocking consequences." Orlando tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, trying to dilute that period of history  The smell of blood: "It was an era of ignorance. Due to the limitations of productivity and the deliberate efforts of those in power, the people's understanding of the world was very incomplete. It was not like now, neither objective nor clear-headed, let alone  Comprehensive. After encountering many super-understanding problems, I blamed everything on the imaginary witches and feared these sources of evil. At the same time, it was also a high-pressure era, with diseases, wars, religious persecution, and existential crises.  , which leads to great mental pressure on the people. High pressure leads to collective neurosis, and the unknown leads to collective fear, which mixes into collective hysteria, and the tyrannical factors are released to the greatest extent. After all, humans are obsessed with incomprehensible things.  Individuals who are different from themselves are always prone to panic and destruction. " "Human beings tend to panic and destroy things that are incomprehensible" the girl Mu Qiong repeated in a low voice, but Orlando suddenly understood.  Compared to the entire Cambridge crowd, isn¡¯t the girl in front of me that out of place and unique?Individual?  It seems that this girl has encountered some interpersonal crisis.  "Sophia, you don't have to worry about this problem at all in modern society. Humanity's understanding of the world has been greatly expanded, and its tolerance for special talents has been unprecedentedly enhanced. Look at me, I am a bioengineer.  In the Middle Ages, I was scrapped alive for the crime of witch doctor, but now I can receive the award with great glory and enjoy my highlight moment." Orlando spread his hands and said relaxedly: "You don't need to worry about your talent.  , because the scientific concepts of modern society are completely different. Because for modern people, if there is nothing in this world that humans cannot understand, they will not be afraid.  This makes sense, but the girl Mu Qiong¡¯s expression is not much relaxed.  She pondered for a moment and asked: "What if there really is something that cannot be deciphered or understood by human intelligence?" "If such a thing really exists" Orlando didn't understand why the girl would ask this, but  After thinking carefully, he gave the answer with a solemn expression: "Then the news must be sealed in a small area. Only the most rational, wise and restrained group of people can grasp the news. Because if it is known to a large area  , then the national confidence built up in the history of modern science will collapse instantly, and mankind will erupt in a stronger and more crazy collective fear than in any previous historical period, leading to horrific consequences like self-destruction. "The topic has become heavy.  There was a brief silence.  "What if" the girl raised her head, her eyes shining: "What if a real witch, the kind of witch with incomprehensible special powers, wants to be friends with ordinary people?" "Two ways. Either, the witch will  If you disguise yourself perfectly, you will never be discovered to be different from ordinary people. However, you will be worried all your life, and the friends you make may not be real friends. Such friendships may fall apart the moment your identity is revealed, and the foundation is fragile.  "I can't keep you." "What about the second way?" "Don't hide your identity as a witch from the beginning, be hopeful but be strong and independent, and attack boldly without feeling sorry for yourself. If the other party can't accept it, then break up and go wherever you like.  Report me and I will kill you. If the other person can still accept the greatest unknown, overcome the greatest fear, and tolerate the greatest heresy even though he knows he is a witch, such a friend is a true friend." Orlando felt at this moment.  He was so handsome when he spoke: "If you have such a friend, it will be the greatest treasure in a witch's life." The girl Mu Qiong's eyes suddenly brightened, as if she was enlightened, as if the clouds were clearing and the sun was revealed.  The corners of Orlando's mouth turned up. The teacher had been talking to me for a long time just now, and the implication was: The atmosphere is so good, girl, you can already start to express your innermost thoughts.  Teacher, I am that warm man who can accept the unknown, overcome fear, and tolerate heresy. Come on, little baby, be moved by the teacher, and then throw yourself into the teacher¡¯s arms and tell your little secret!  Having said that, what secrets can a little girl have?  Yep, it¡¯s just a child¡¯s psychological fluctuations.  Come on, come on, uncle, I am just taking advantage of this bit of deception ahem, to guide her onto the right path of being close to uncle and me!  But the girl Mu Qiong¡¯s expression returned to dullness in the blink of an eye, and became expressionless again, with no sign of wanting to talk.  "I already understand." The girl Mu Qiong nodded: "I'm going back. I'll set off tomorrow." "Okay" Those who are obscene are those who are obscene after all Walking to the door, the girl Mu Qiong hesitated.  He turned around and said, "Thank you for clarifying my doubts." "Huh?" Orlando was stunned for a moment. This girl actually said thank you to me?  !  Teacher, why do I feel so flattered instantly?  "Ah, ah, it's okay. It's normal to discuss it with each other. Come here often when you have time!" After seeing Sofia off, Orlando was stunned, and suddenly felt that this girl seemed really different from before.  I couldn't tell exactly where, but the old man always felt happy in his heart.  It seems that no matter what, my dignity as a teacher can still be saved. In other words, I suddenly have a lot of expectations for this experimental trip to a foreign country! ?? Okay, roll up your sleeves and work hard, pack everything tonight, and set off for the Nobel Prize tomorrow!  But - yes - although it was a good idea, he didn't set out according to his plan the next day.  To be precise, he even packed his suitcase, and the girl Mu Qiong also met him in a completely different state. Just when he was about to leave, the girl suddenly changed her mind.  Because, Adam showed up.  "Hey, long time no see." Adam said with emotion as if he was in another world: "Something happened in the family suddenly."I feel a little embarrassed, I just got away just now.  It can be regarded as a narrow escape from death.  How are you doing lately?  "The girl Mu Qiong stared at Adam for a long time, then suddenly turned around and left, saying lightly: "Follow me.  "    "ah?  Adam was very surprised: "Where to go?"  "    "go out.  "The girl Mu Qiong didn't even hesitate at all. She left Orlando where she was and left the school with Adam.
