The director paused.
Mallory didn't ask any more questions.
The two men were silent for a long time.
"Didn't get it?" The director couldn't help but open his mouth again.
"Understand, you mean, we are in a huge laboratory, we are all lab rats in this laboratory, in order to test what is called 'modalities', right?" Mallory opened his mouth as well. He had just been thinking.
"Yes, but it's all just inference and speculation on my part." The director nodded.
"In order to fight the genetic tyranny, we are locked up in a laboratory to do all kinds of cruel experiments, and the same kinds of individuals are sacrificed, it sounds like this modal cause is no better than genes. If that's the case, I might as well continue to accept the tyranny of the gene." Mallory muttered a few words.
"You make a good point that neither genes, nor modalities, are good for us as individuals." The director sighed.
"Thank you for telling me all this, so I finally have a clear idea of how to explore it all." Mallory expressed his gratitude to the director's trust, earlier he had also been wanting to explore the truth behind the scenes of Film City, but unfortunately did not even have a thought, now at least have a general direction.
"I'm telling you this because I think you're smarter than I am and will probably think more and deeper than I do. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, we can exchange our insights with each other, and maybe we can probe into the deeper things of the film city." The director is very serious tone.
"Ahem ... I feel like I'm like a brick-moving civilian worker now, worrying about national events every day, in fact, what I should be most concerned about now is where I'm going to eat my next meal." Mallory laughed at himself for a few moments.
"One person's effort is definitely very limited, but what about the efforts of many people? Like this time, if it wasn't for the combined efforts of you, me, and Anna, and even Robin and the others, it would have been impossible to bring Erin's evil deeds to the attention of the Ministry of Supervision and allow us to finally bring down an evil force like Erin. Nor will our efforts to escape the control of Film City and return to our old lives be successful by one person's efforts." The director said a few more words.
"Yes, the country's rise and fall is the responsibility of every man." Mallory returned to the director with a flirtatious tone, and then lay down with his hands clasped on the back of his head.
"Lying on the wet stone surface, you will get sick." The director gave Mallory a look.
"I'm tired and want to sleep." Mallory was really tired.
"You sleep, I'll sit for a while." The director obviously can not do as Mallory, in such a bad environment to sleep.
Mallory lay down and soon fell asleep in the past.
...
In the second half of the night, Mallory woke up.
It was when he felt movement around him that he woke up.
The sky has cleared, the moon star is thin, the stone pillar is illuminated very bright.
It was the director who woke Mallory up by standing up.
She got up and glanced at Mallory, as if she was worried about waking Mallory.
Mallory pretended to remain asleep and did not move.
The director carefully tried to take off the down jacket, first the top part off, and then sat back on top of the stone pillar, and carefully took off the bottom part.
Then, covered Mallory's body.
Mallory's heart is slightly touched, the second half of the night on the top of the stone pillar is very cold, she is not wearing much, take off this jacket should be very cold, may be think Mallory sleep will be more cold, only to take off the clothes covered Mallory's body.
Sure enough, after taking it off, she immediately felt the cold and hugged her body with both arms.
Mallory held his body still, pretending to be still asleep, thinking about how to convince her to sleep with him, and the two of them cuddle up for warmth.
Just when Mallory wanted to say something, the director carefully stood up again.
Then he glanced down at Mallory.
Mallory continued to pretend to be asleep.
The director took a step toward the stone pillar, then reached to his waist and slowly squatted with his back to Mallory.
Mallory finally knew what she was up to.
Watching the scene in front of him, Mallory felt the genes inside him stirring, looking for a chance to replicate.
The director suddenly turned his head and met Mallory with all eyes.
"The moon is so full tonight!" Mallory looked at the sky and exclaimed.
"You're awake?" The director was a little embarrassed and stood up in a hurry.
"It's not that terrible, is it? There's no need to waste a special rescue opportunity for this kind of thing." Mallory smiled at the director.
"I didn't want to wake you up." The director looked to the side, his voice sounding tired. How could this thing not be scary? Especially with a man lying right behind them.
Not only was it scary, it was embarrassing.
"The wind has been blowing for so long, the stone surface is not so wet, you should also lie down and sleep for a while." Mallory suggested a few words to the director.
"No need." The director still shook his head and continued to die.
"Mask removed, no one here cares if you look beautiful or ugly, or if you can control your feelings." Mallory sat up and suggested a few words to the director.
"Okay." The director was silent for a while, but finally heeded Mallory's advice.
Mallory looked at the director curiously. It had been so long since he had seen her real face, and he was indeed a bit curious. And I didn't expect her to be convinced by him to take off her mask so easily this time, which also made Mallory slightly surprised.
She should not be ugly, right? A girl with white skin can't be too ugly.
Just now Mallory had seen how white she looked.
"What are you looking at?" The director was about to remove the mask when his hand stopped again.
"The moon is so full tonight!" Mallory looked to the sky.
The director hesitated for a moment, but finally took off the mask.
Mallory hurriedly took another glance at the director.
Just like the women on the street, because everyone is wearing clothes, so that type of more lewd men will be very curious about their clothes wrapped inside what it is really like.
But if all the women are not wearing clothes, you can just look, I guess that type of lewd men are not so curious, and look more than the body is not good, may also feel sick to the stomach.
Because the director always wears a mask, so Mallory will be curious about what she looks like.
One reason.
The director noticed Mallory kept staring at himself, so he rolled his eyes at him, but his expression was a little shy.
"Actually, it's not ugly at all!" Mallory commented.
The director is indeed not ugly, there is a quiet and elegant classical beauty, very suitable for playing the kind of ancient beauty. When Mallory looked at the original of one of the four great novels, she imagined that the image of a female lead was more similar in temperament.
It is not surprising that the literary youth.
"Ugly or not, do you need to say?" The director angered Mallory with a sentence.
"Half rolled Xiang curtain half hidden door, grinding ice for earth jade for basin. I stole the pear pistil for three parts, and borrowed the plum blossom for a wisp of soul. The moon cave fairy sewed on her onyx, the autumn boudoir complaining girl wiped cry marks. Who can I talk to in silence about my shyness? The night is already dusky when I am tired of leaning against the west wind." Mallory looked up at the sky and recited a poem.
According to the director's earlier statement, Mallory reciting poetry this behavior, in fact, is also his internal genes in action. The company wants to use this method to showcase its talent, pat her on the back, attract the genes in her body, and then together with the replication and so on.
I can't help it, who let human beings are slaves to genetic control?
