Chapter 25 Reunion with Old Friends

Two months later, everything on Earth is thriving.
森光找来黑寡妇们、莱恩.尼克斯、娜塔莎、唐纳德、华东雄、巴顿老兵、小丑、企鹅人、夜翼，自己的应身莱恩.艾瑟尔、天启、灵蝶、金刚狼、暴风女、x教授等人。
Everyone sat neatly at the same table, as if in another world.
随着，店家端上来一盘盘可口的饭菜，大家举起酒杯来，痛饮了下去。
Liam Knicks looked at Senguang with some awe.
Nowadays, the little ghost is filled with divinity.
下面的人在欢声笑语，只有森光始终一言不发，含笑不语，可是整个聚会的焦点集中在森光的身上。
华东雄和唐纳德已经老了，鬓发发白，而巴顿老兵更是童颜鹤发。
他们望着师傅，感叹原来师傅一直是这样一个孩子，时光岁月更是无法摧折他的风采。
Ryan Ethel silently replaced alcoholic beverages with tea.
"Haha, this old guy over 100 years old drinks tea."
夜翼尊敬地看着莱恩.艾瑟尔。“您可是奠定了现代国际社会规则的伟人，要是引=饮用了酒水伤了身体，我都无法和父亲交代。”
Ryan Ather wore a quirky smile.
"The real hero is not me."
在场的人，除了小丑以外，对于这位一百多岁的老人都充满了尊敬。
Ryan Issel, the greatest person in modern times.
莱恩，艾瑟尔摇摇头。“是伊顿穿越时空，回到了过去，帮助了我。”
In fact, Eaton is his true form.
一战、二战发生的一切事情，都是森光与阿瑞斯发生的神战的一部分。
x教授有些能猜得到情况，他崇拜地看着这位和平先驱。“那又有什么关系。”
"Since I was very young, Mr. Aether has been my idol."
“我没有想到，这一次为伊顿先生过十二岁的生日时，艾瑟尔先生也会到场。”
"I'm really flattered."
x教授感谢向莱恩.艾瑟尔敬酒。“感谢您在这些年对我的种种教导。”
“要不是您，我真不知道，在变种人受到人类军方伤害的时候，我该怎么做，才能挽回变种人对人类的信心。”
"You are the greatest pioneer of peace in the world."
莱恩.艾瑟尔笑了起来。“嗨呀，瞧你说的，这些事情明明都是你自己的功劳。”
"It sounds like you're attributing my accomplishments to yourself."
此时，森光抿了口可乐，带着微笑说：“莱恩.艾瑟尔，你就接受x教授的好意吧。”
莱恩.艾瑟尔与x教授同时举起酒杯，对森光遥敬了一杯，然后才相互致意，痛饮下酒液。
Senko Haruka was the host of this gathering/birthday party.
即使是他不说话，他出众的气质和富有神性的态度，依然是会场里的中心。
The clown looked at Senguang. "Eton, you owe me a big favor."
Moriguang smiled and nodded slightly.
This topic is considered closed.
The gathering continued, and people celebrated joyfully.
当临近曲终人散之时，森光举起盛满可乐的酒杯站起来，会场之中所有人的目光看向他。
Nowadays, every little move of Senguang attracts worldwide attention.
"I declare that this happiness will last for seven days."
"I declare that this happiness will spread all over the world."
“为了庆祝我们的获胜，就从今天开始，全世界放假七天。在这七天里，决不允许加班，决不允许人们思考烦恼的事情。”
会场经过短暂的凝滞以后，每一个人都由衷地表达开心。
It turns out that peace is so beautiful.
娜塔莎单膝跪地。“尊敬的主人。我们已经与各国政要商量好了，在这个七天以内，就算是政府机关都必须停止运行。”
"Everyone will revel in the joy of these seven days."
Senguang nodded.
……
全世界的人都走出街头，访亲问友，或者是开始旅游，门票不要钱，电影院不要钱，甚至是美食都被充满欢乐的商家免了钱，反正事后会有政府补贴钱款。
In some places, people come to the streets and splash water on each other, full of joy and vitality.
有些地方的人，点燃了炮竹、鞭炮，激浊扬清，化解之前的所有困扰。
有些地方的人，买了火鸡、香肠等好东西，拿回家庆祝。
……
However, there always seems to be some strange noises during the joyous moments.
A factory owner is holding a meeting in the factory.
The factory starts work at 6:30.
但是，每天他们会提前半个小时开会，也就是在六点开会。
Of course, these times are actually the workers' own free time.
老板对工厂的工人们说：“你们也不要整天问别人的工资，我们这是秘薪制度，就是不能把薪酬告诉别人的。你们应该想的是为公司做了多少贡献，而不是讨论公司给了你们多少钱。”
"This is annoying, isn't it?"
"Alright, we declare that for these seven days, our factory does not take a break!"
A buzz of discussion erupted below.
老板怒道：“这七天时间里，别人工厂都停运了，就我们还在运行，我们能够赚到多少钱！”
"You lazy people, now is the time to contribute to the company."
“我们可以调休啊，比如这七天里，我们不休息，以后你们可以选择需要的时候休息。”
"Got it, right?"
有员工小声说：“可是政府和伊顿要我们大休七天，以响应世界新生啊。”
The boss sneered. "Those are just empty words, what use does it have."
“这样吧，如果你们在这七天里加班，我每天多给你们五……三十元，三十元。”
A group of workers sighed and lamented.
Isn't overtime supposed to be double pay?
Oh, this is a day off system, not considered overtime.
于是，这家工厂在第二天还在热火朝天地运作，老板看着大家卖力工作，倒是心底里充满了开心。
这一天，老板准备带自己的家人出去旅游，毕竟这是7天全世界假日。
Such a grand festival, he didn't want to miss it himself.
Just at this time, a group of soldiers suddenly gathered outside the factory.
The boss's eyes bulged in fear. "What are you doing?"
士兵们手持枪械，顶着门卫们闯了进来，一进来就用枪口指着老板，一个士兵一脚踹在老板的膝盖窝窝上，让他跪了下来。
士兵们粗暴地喝道：“举起你的双手，把你的手背在身后。”
"Check if he has any weapons."
“他么的，本来都放假了，就因为这种恶心东西，害得我们还要被临时调过来值班。”
“谁说不是啊，不过这一次，这种投机倒卖的人，可倒霉了。”
The soldiers showed expressions of disdain and anticipation.
Suddenly, the boss felt a sense of uneasiness.
What feels wrong?
一个士兵一脚踹在老板的肚子上，老板疼得喘息。“你们不能殴打……殴打公民。”
"Citizens? What kind of citizen are you?"
这名士兵说：“各国刚刚修改了宪法，在这七天以内任何强迫他人工作的人，都是叛国罪。”
"You dared to take advantage of the situation."
"Impressive."
The boss was startled, what, isn't this a law that preserves face?
It really works?
He was about to beg for mercy when he was slapped again, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
“根据宪法，你已经被开除国籍，剥夺了终生政治权利和人格权利，由于各国的宪法之中都有这一条，所以现在整个地球都没有你能够去的地方了。”
"We will confiscate all of your assets and sentence you to life imprisonment."
"Find a corner to house you, you opportunistic and heartless creature."
