my dream adventure

Chapter 422 The Butterfly Effect (188)

Both Hesse's and Mishima's works are strongly colored by oriental religions. Both are interested in Buddhism and have achieved profound attainments.

It seems that Ren Yuan is also studying them, which is very interesting.

"Nanfang, you go over there, I'll have a good chat with the store manager." Lin Yuan commanded Nanfang to go to the other side, lest his fierce face hinder their communication.

He reluctantly left, walked to the other side of the bookshelf and pretended to read while keeping an eye on the changes on Lin Yuan's side.

"Do you like Mishima? Why?" When he sat down, the store manager handed him a cup of brewed green tea. There was a small white chrysanthemum in the cup. It seemed that he had a rather self-cultivating temperament.

"There needs to be a reason for liking. If I have to say why, it is, I think, I am somewhat similar to him." There is a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Then I may disappoint you, because I don't think I'm similar to Mishima, I'm just a mediocre person. Even more mediocre than most people." Lin Yuan muttered.

Seeing how he deliberately belittled himself, Ren Yuan cast a curious look, "People who say they are mediocre are often not because they are really mediocre, but because they don't want to be noticed by the world."

"You may be right. It's just that I'm not the kind of animal that can fly. I don't have wings. I can only look up at the sky. The things in the sky have nothing to do with me." Lin Yuan said calmly.

The metaphor about wings and flying is what Ren Yuan said in "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" in his hand at the moment. The protagonist Honda and his adopted son An Yuantou said that he hoped his children would learn to hide their wings. ability to protect.

Ren Yuan was stunned for a moment, because he knew the book he was reading, so he also knew what Lin Yuan meant.

"You are honest, and you seem to be extremely honored that you don't have wings?" Ren Yuan suddenly pointed out Lin Yuan's inner thoughts.

"Yeah, doesn't having wings mean that he will fall faster than ordinary people? He can't get the happiness that ordinary people have, but he takes the happiness he thinks he can't get in his life. The pursuit of chasing dreams People are like birds in the sky trying to chase the brilliance of the sun, I think you should know what I mean, right?" Lin Yuan smiled faintly.

Ren Yuan's fingers turning the pages of the book stopped suddenly, and he looked up at him with a hint of anxiety and surprise in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his usual smiling face.

"I see, that's how it is. As soon as you walked in, I knew you had an extraordinary temperament. I rarely watch TV, but I still watched what happened recently. I watched it seriously. You were on TV It happened before, but I didn't recognize it at first sight, you are the professor who assisted the police in solving the case, right." Ren Yuan used a very affirmative tone.

Lin Yuan didn't nod or shake his head, but just said, "Then what do you think we came to you for?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "we", and Ren Yuan's eyes showed a trace of panic. He looked at the glass door in front of the store, and his eyes quickly swept over. He keenly spotted the plainclothes police ambushing outside. At this moment, I really realized that I didn't have many possibilities, so I escaped from here.

"I'll talk about other things later. Let's continue talking about wings, shall we?" Lin Yuan changed the subject again.

Ren Yuan smiled coldly, and there was a sad taste in the smile at the moment.

"Well, I think, if you can find this place, it proves that you already know the relationship between Hu Yifeng and me? Are you here to laugh at my so-called dream with him?" It was cold, and there was a hint of despair in that coldness.

"I don't want to laugh at any of you. Similarly, I can tell you that he committed suicide in the forest at that time, and I buried his body." Lin Yuan told him directly, which was considered a confession.

He froze for a moment, then asked, "He committed suicide, wasn't he caught by the police?"

The content shown on TV was processed by the police, so not much truth was revealed. Professor Hu's matter was classified, and the police only briefly mentioned it in the news.

"He's dead. Of course, if he's still alive, then I won't come to you. We came to you just to find out what happened that year, things that only you and Professor Hu know about."

He smiled coldly, "Why should I tell you why he committed suicide? I just want to know this."

Lin Yuan paused, "I have answered this question more than once. When a person is in despair, he will choose to commit suicide. Isn't that a very simple matter? Do you not understand, or are you unwilling to accept it?"

Ren Yuan originally wanted to say something, but quickly held back, he found himself powerless to refute, he just didn't want to accept this fact, but Hu Yifeng's research over the years, what he knew was wrong.

Ren Yuan thought for a while, and finally said in a discouraged way, "All these years, I stayed here and helped him do these things. He just told me that he was trying to heal her body, but he never told me. What did he do, that he provoked the police in the end, and even committed suicide."

It was extremely difficult for him to say the word suicide, and Lin Yuan looked at him with a smile.

"Since this is the case, you have something you want to know, and I also have something you want to know. Why don't we ask a question and exchange an answer? What I'm talking about is definitely something that has never appeared in media reports on TV." He said He propped himself up against the counter.

Ren Yuan avoided his piercing eyes, but nodded.

"The first question you asked, why did he commit suicide? The reason is very simple. Everything he planned failed, and all the experimental data fell into the hands of the police. He was desperate, so he committed suicide naturally. And he committed suicide by taking poison. Prepare the poison and end your own life. Sometimes I really sigh, these people are really very persistent, they would rather die than surrender, are you the same person as him, Ren Yuan?" Lin Yuan's last question made Ren Yuan's expression A split second.

He didn't answer Lin Yuan's question, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"Now it's my turn to ask. You and Hu Yifeng were good friends before you met that woman, right?" Lin Yuan asked a question, which was actually an affirmative sentence.

"Yes. He is a strange man, obsessed with scientific experiments. Although he is a genius in the eyes of the teachers, he has almost no friends, just like me. So one day, we met and I became his confidant."

Ren Yuan calmly narrated the fragments of the past.
