Strangers

smile.

"Then I'm D." Ma Hezi made an OK gesture.

The six people stood against the conference table with code names from A to E counterclockwise. There were six or seven steps between each two people, and the flashlights shone on each other.

"I'll say the rules again." Mr. E shook the light beam and demonstrated, "After closing the door and turning off the lights, everyone turns right on the spot, and I slap my hands." Snap, loud, "The game starts, and I fumble counterclockwise along the table Walk forward, meet the person in front, that is, the back of A, and pat him on the shoulder." Pa, in a low voice, "I will just stand there, A will continue to move forward, and then touch B, pat his shoulder, And so on. Everyone can only go forward, which is counterclockwise, and is not allowed to look back. When I feel my shoulder being slapped by E, I slap again. The first round is over, and then I continue to Go ahead and go straight to the second round."

The crowd nodded.

"So in theory, everyone should hear one hand clap, six shoulder clap, one hand clap, six shoulder clap, and a cycle of sounds during walking, but, hehe..." Jun E smiled wickedly, "It won't be long, You'll hear another slap on the shoulder after six times..."

That is the seventh person.

"Of course, there is actually no such person haha!" Mr. E waved his hand to dispel the terrifying atmosphere, "Wait a minute we will draw lots, whoever draws the lottery that writes the magic will be the seventh person. In a certain round, he thinks it is a chance Yes, just between being patted and the person being patted, I pat myself on the shoulder, which symbolizes being possessed by the added thing and becoming a demon. When I hear the round of seven shoulder slaps, as the host They will clap their hands once and say, it’s over. At this time, everyone turns on the flashlights and starts to speak. The goal is to work together to find the devil. The order of speeches is still counterclockwise. There are three rounds in total. If it is a demon, then five people win, if it is a human, then the devil wins."

"There are a few more things to pay attention to." Mr. E added, "The pat on the shoulder should be a little louder, so that everyone can hear it, and you can abstain during the voting stage, and you are not allowed to speak during the lights off, everyone!"

"Understood." Ma Hezi said.

"Then I'll close the door." Mr. E pushed one with each hand, and the heavy solid wood door slowly closed.

click.

The blue night disappeared, leaving only six pale flashlights.

The six lottery papers were placed on the big table, and the six hands took them away one by one.

"It's a human or a devil, everyone knows their identity..." Mr. E's voice lowered in response to the darkness, "Now let's take a last look and remember each other's positions. ——I'm the host, Mr. E."

"A, Cheng Yu." "B, Qi Xie." "I'm C Eleven Night." "Ma Hezi, D." "E, Dilila."

"Okay, turn off the lights."

Total darkness.

Snapped.Loud clapping.

Games start.

Fumbling footsteps, dull slaps on the shoulders, tentative footsteps, dull slaps on the shoulders, rustling footsteps, dull slaps on the shoulders.

Crack, loud.

I don't know how many laps passed.

coming.

Snapped. "End, turn on the lights!"

The six rays of light lit up at the same time, which was a bit dazzling for a while.

☆, believe or doubt

After the eyes got used to it, everyone looked at each other. The order of the six people remained the same, but the position pattern was quite different.

Mr. E knocked on the table: "Let's speak now, starting with A."

Xie Yu seems to have been prepared for a long time: "The key to this game is whether the sound of the shoulder slap corresponds to the position. In the last round, A should be the first to be slapped on the shoulder after clapping, B is the second, C is the third, D is the fourth, E five, host six, so if the number that a person 'supposedly' was slapped is consistent with the number actually slapped, it means that he is not a devil, and neither is anyone up to A before him. As for just now In that round, the first sound was me being photographed. Because I was standing in position A, I couldn’t get any valuable clues. Above.”

"Okay, B, please speak."

"The second sound is that I was photographed, and then I photographed the next person, it's over." Qi Xie only said three sentences.

"C please speak."

"That..." Eleven Night lowered his head and raised his hand, "I didn't count just now, so I don't know how many times I was photographed, but I didn't photograph myself! Everyone believe me, I am definitely not a devil!"

"Xiao Shiyi said she forgot to count, but I counted very clearly: I was the fifth to be photographed." Ma Hezi pinched his waist with one hand and shook the flashlight with one hand, "So the demons must be the ones in front of me. "

"That's not necessarily the case, although I was photographed on the sixth." Di Lila smiled at Ma Hezi, "It may also be that you took the photograph twice yourself, and you happened to blame them when Xiao Shiyi couldn't remember clearly. Woolen cloth?"

Mr. E cleared his throat: "I must have been shot on the seventh sound, which proves that I am a very good person. After that, I believe that Xiao Shiyi made a mistake, and the box!" He pointed, "I Just doubt you! Don't refute! Next!"

"I...!" Ma Hezi stared at himself, unable to speak, so he could only make an expression of "wait for me".

The second round of speeches.

Xie Yu glanced around: "Just now B said that he was slapped for the second time, which has proved that I am not a devil. Excluding someone deliberately disrupting the situation, it can be confirmed that the dislocation between the shoulder slap and the position at least starts from D, so the devil must be Between B and D, next I want to hear what the three of them have to say, end."

His eyes instantly focused on Qi Xie, but he smiled nonchalantly: "If I were a devil, would I admit that I was shot for the second time? You must know that the number eleven was completely accidental, and I couldn't predict it in advance. .If she first said that she was shot the second time, and then she said it was the fourth time, then the biggest suspicion would be pointed at me immediately. Of course, in this case, Eleven may be lying, but everyone thinks you are more Do you want to believe me, or would you rather believe her?" Qi Xie looked at Xie Yu, "So if the devil is me, I would rather say that I was shot at the third sound in the first round, first to gain the upper hand, and second to set the blame It's easier for you too."

"I'm definitely not a devil, you have to believe me." Eleven Night waved his hand, "Then I think his analysis is right, you see, if I were a devil, I would definitely not count wrongly, and I don't have to pretend to forget to count, as long as If you directly say that I was shot for the fourth time, you will definitely suspect Qi Xie first, so I am definitely not."

"It's me?" Ma Hezi pointed to himself, "First of all, I'm definitely not a demon! Mr. E, you are 100% a rioter and don't explain it! Then I doubt him." The beam pointed to Qi Xie on the opposite side, "If you don't believe me, you will regret it , it's over."

Dilila folded her arms and thought for a while: "If I were a devil, I would have only two choices: say that the number of times I was slapped on the shoulder was the same as the actual number, and put the blame on the next one, or say it was different, and put the blame on the next one." For the previous one. From this point of view, if Qi Xie is a demon, the odds of blaming Cheng Yu are indeed greater, because we can't bear to cast Xiao Shishi to death in the first round of the game. From this point of view, Qi Xie Harmony should not be. Then, last round when he said that he was captured by the fifth sound, He Zi completely looked like he had seen through others, and just now he just did not make any excuses. I don’t think he looks like him either. "

"Then it's up to me." Mr. E bowed his waist and rubbed his chin, "The suspect is that the three on the opposite side didn't run away, let me think about it... yes, because Qi Xie didn't choose a schedule between Cheng Yu and Xiao Shiyi Yu, so he is not a devil, but don't forget, he said this first from his own mouth, that is to say, he may have thought of such a thing long ago, and then did the opposite. I In the last round, I said that I suspected Box just to see his reaction. Now I think the reaction is quite normal, not like lying. In short, I think Qi Xie is the most likely, Xiao Shiyi... I will take a look again. —— Now the last A round of speeches."

"I suspect it's you." Xie Yu turned to the right.

Qi Xiong looked at him with a smile.

"There are two reasons." Xie Yu went on to say, "First, in the speech just now, the other two suspects clearly said the phrase 'I am not a devil', you did not, just use 'If I am a devil' 'A series of hypotheses were made to indirectly deny. Second, what you said was to disregard that you are not a demon, and you did a negative analysis. You did not clearly point out who is a demon, and you did a positive analysis. Ordinary people have this psychological tendency, so avoid Tell lies directly and definitely, so from the perspective of lie detection, you are the most suspicious."

"Finished?" Qi Xie asked.

"Yes, it's up to you."

Qi Xie shook his head sarcastically: "Your conclusion is too strange, so you don't need to play the game, because it's very simple, firstly, the devil will not directly say that he is not, and secondly, he will not be sure that others are. , it is too easy to find such a person. What's more, I am not the only one who did not point out the suspect just now. Even if your theory is a little bit correct, the conclusion drawn by distorting the facts is nonsense. In my opinion, everyone’s actions can be labeled as “thinking in advance and then doing the opposite”, which cannot be used as a basis at all. In fact, in the final analysis, what analysis Inference sounds reasonable, but in fact it is only the difference between willing to believe and unwilling to believe: if you believe in a person, you can find a hundred explanations for his unreasonable behavior; Being accused of being too perfect and false. In the face of all analysis methods, pretending to be stupid is always the most effective concealment. The more you say, the more mistakes you will make. It is the most correct not to say a word. Finally, I would like to make one point about the current situation. Ideally, this game only has two suspects, because the devil can only blame one person, why there are three people who confuse the line of sight this time, you can think about it from this aspect. End of speech, next one."

"Ah?" Eleven Night came back to his senses in a daze, "I don't know what to say, but now I feel Qixie. And I don't think he is lying like the box just now, I believe he is not. I'm done. .”

Ma Hezi scratched his head: "Ah, it's really complicated. Anyway, you all know that it must not be me. Then go ahead and let me think about it."

"I still stick to my previous view." Di Lila.

"I've already confirmed that there is nothing to say. Now the speech is over and the voting begins. Don't follow the vote." Mr. E left a few seconds for everyone to think clearly: "Okay. Now vote for A—no. B Qixi— —”

Eleven Nights, Ma He He, Mr. E raised his hand.

"Three votes, vote for junior eleven?"

Qi Xie, Di Lila, Xie Yu.

"Three against three." Mr. E said, "Then you two make another appeal."

"What if it's still the same ticket?" Ma Hebox interjected.

"Both were voted to die, and if there is a tie, that person will be buried with the devil and has sacrificed his life for the great cause of mankind." Mr. E said, "The appeal is reversed, and the little eleven will come first."

Eleven Nights scratched his cheeks: "I know I'm definitely not, the devil must be between Qi Xie and the box, since the box is out, we still have hope of winning if we vote for Qi Xie, although it's not [-]%..."

Qi Xie raised his arms: "I have nothing to say, everyone, please maintain the original vote. Don't seek the greatest benefit, but seek the least risk. It is better to sacrifice me than to die."

Mr. E clapped his hands: "The appeal is over, let's vote again. Those who voted for Junior Eleven raise their hands."

Qi Xie, Di Lila, Xie Yu, Ma Hezi.

"The game is over, and the little eleven votes are dead. ——Which one of you is the devil!"

Qi Xie threw out a piece of paper.

Several flashlights hit at the same time: people.

"Hey, I lost." Eleven scratched his head.

"No way! I'm the only one who made a wrong vote!" Mr. E patted his thigh, "What are you doing with the box? It changes back and forth!"

"No." Ma Hezi is very innocent, "I was very moved when I heard Xiaoshi said that she believed that I was not a devil, so I didn't vote for her. Later, Qi Xie said that he would maintain the original vote, and was also very moved, thinking that he must not be. , I voted eleven."

"What a ridiculous reason!" E took back the signed papers one by one, "Hey Di Lila, why have you always been sure to be Little Eleven?"

She blinked: "Intuition."

"Really cruel!"

"That's right, it's time to change positions." Eleven Night reminded.

Mr. E nodded, commanded everyone to randomly shuffle, and the positions changed, A Qixie, B Dilila, C Mahezi, D Shiyiye, E Xie Yu.

The six signed papers were spread out again.

To confirm, turn off the lights, step slowly and quickly, and pat the shoulder lightly or heavily.

Finally, the seventh sound, snap, and the flashlight turns on.

"You hit the box so hard!" Eleven Night rubbed his right shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ma Hezi clasped his hands together.

Jun E haha: "Let him stand in front of me next time, and I'll shoot him to death for you."

During the gags of several people, Xie Yu looked sideways, but saw Qi Xie on the opposite side smiled.

"Okay, okay, let's start talking, don't mess with the box, let's talk about you!" Mr. E shook the flashlight.

"Can I talk?" Qi Xie asked.

Mr. E coughed, and lowered the smile on his face to seriousness: "A, please speak."

"All I'm going to say is: next."

☆, Kui Ying

Mr. E was taken aback: "It's over?"

Qi Harmony nodded.

"What kind of wind is this?" Dilila Yanran thought for a while, "Since he doesn't say anything, I won't say anything."

"It's up to me now?" Ma Hezi propped his chin, "Then I won't say anything."

"What are you all doing? It's hard to guess like this." Eleven Night scratched his head.

Indeed, saying nothing means something.

Xie Yu thought to himself, Boss Qi always likes to play tricks, choosing not to speak must be conveying some kind of message, Dilila is not simple, maybe she understands what Qi Xie wants, so she is also silent.As for the box, with his personality, it was probably a joke.Qi Xie smiled just now, did he get the devil, or did he already guess who the devil is? In position A, only you and Mr. E’s identities can be known. If you are a devil, if you choose not to speak, it is nothing more than giving Dilila, who should have been photographed by the second voice, but actually the third voice, a chance to expose herself. .There is a problem here. Once Di Lila is exposed, Qi Xie is suspected, and she herself becomes one of the two suspects.Is that why she doesn't talk?But if the box at the back revealed her misplacement, the suspects in the first round immediately became Box and Dilila. In the second round, Boss Qi gave priority to speaking, and it was much more difficult for her to get back.Considering this situation, it is impossible for her not to expose Qi Xie just because she is worried about being suspected.Feedback to the initial hypothesis made it clear that Boss Qi dared to skip the speech because he was not worried about being exposed by Dilila.Why, again, is there nothing to debunk: Dilila should have been taken on the second note, and was taken on the second note?No, if this is the case, it means that the devil is behind Qi Xie. Di Lila has a 20% chance of saying nothing. He will not risk being bitten back and refuse to speak in the first round. — Boss Qi himself is not a devil, and he is sure that the devil is not behind him.Therefore, the only one that could be a demon is Mr. E in front of him.

Now it is clear. In the last round of shoulder slaps, Boss Qi was slapped on the second slap, and Di Lila was slapped on the third. At this time, Qi Xie had confirmed that Mr. E was a devil, and Di Lila also knew that the devil was in front. between the two.Then he started to speak. At this time, if Qi Xie directly stated the real situation of patting the shoulder, it would be tantamount to locking the suspicion between himself and Mr. E, and then it was nothing more than their self-defense, returning to the stalemate state of the previous round of the game, So he chose not to say anything.After that, Di Lila understood and didn't say a word.In this way, the two of them are tantamount to teaming up to put Mr. E into a passive position: if he is not suspected, he will have no chance to defend himself, and he will stand at the last disadvantage, and it will be even more troublesome if he wants to name and blame others.

So how do you vote in the end?If these two people have not exposed it, Box and Eleven will not suspect Mr. E, and Mr. E will not vote for himself. There are only two votes, can they guarantee victory?Or……

Xie Yu raised his head, and Qi Xie looked over casually.

I see, the third vote is with me.He understood: "I have nothing to say, it's over."

"What are you all doing?" Mr. E said, "Anyway, I'm not a devil, and I'm the last one, so I don't know who it is, since you don't say anything, I will mess up first. Guessing one opened the situation. I doubt Xiaoshi, she was the one who drew in the last round, and she couldn't stop her luck, so it must be her this time. Next."

"Skip." Qi laughed harmoniously.

"Pass." Di Lila.

"Hey, it's interesting, keep the formation." Ma Hezi.

"When did you discuss it?" Eleven Night clenched his fists in protest, "And Mr. E, why are you suspicious of me for no reason? I didn't get a demon. If you want to, you have to! Pass!"

"I also pass." Xie Yu.

"If you're afraid of death, it's the last round, comrades! Say something! Well, I take back what I said about Xiao Shiyi before. The current situation is completely beneficial to the devil. The culprit who caused this situation is him. A person who is afraid of death, the first person who is afraid of death is obviously the one on my right, so I will vote for him, and everyone will vote for him like me. Fear of death!"

Qi Xie didn't refute at all: "Next."

"Skip." Di Lila.

"Wait, let me think about it." Ma Hezi raised his hands, "Mr. E's words seem to make sense, how are you going to vote if this goes on? Or do you have to decide who to vote for before you're afraid of never ending?" He looked at Two promoters.

"No dialogue is allowed." Mr. E reminded.

"OK, let me figure it out on my own." Ma Hezi said, "I was shot on the fourth sound. The devil must be in front of me. Isn't that just the three of you? There is only one devil, and they are together. Yes, then you're the only one left?"

"Well, I also think it's Mr. E." Eleven Night stuck out his tongue, "Who told you to point at me just now."

"You people! Look, my honest eyes, have you seen my clear pupils, have you seen my innocent expression!" Mr. E shone a flashlight on his face, "Throw me Just wait until you regret it!"

"Voting begins!" Ma Hezi snapped, "Vote E, raise your hand!"

--and many more.

Xie Yu suddenly felt something was wrong.

"One, two, three, four! Four votes die, flop!"

"Turn your head over!" Mr. E threw the lottery on the table.

All the beams go at the same time.

There is one word written on the dazzlingly bright paper, people.

With the other hand, he put down the devil lottery in the center of the table.

Xie Yu, who was expressionless, frowned.

Do the opposite.

"Ah... I was wrong." Di Lila stroked the hair on her forehead, "I thought you were sure that it was Mr. E, so you didn't speak on purpose."

"Where, I just don't know how to lie. I got this lottery all of a sudden, so I don't know what to say." Qi Xie smiled at her.

"You really are." Although Di Lila said so, she didn't seem to be annoyed at all.

"I'll just say it's him, no one believes me!" Mr. E complained.

The horse box was balled up and the paper was thrown at it: "I don't know, who told you to look deceitful, you don't look like a good person at first glance."

"That's right, you're still pointing at me!" Eleven said.

"Okay, okay!" Mr. E clapped his hands, "It's getting late, comrades, hurry up for the last round. This time, don't mess around again, especially Ma Hezi, just make fun of him and not do serious things." !"

Before the start of the game, Ma Hezi had to go to the bathroom. Di Lila also said that the room was closed all the time and it was stuffy, so she wanted to go out to get some air.Everyone temporarily dismissed.

Qi Xie walked around the corridor with a flashlight, entered an empty guest room, pushed open the long-corroded aluminum alloy door, and stepped onto the balcony.

The evening wind blows.

The city's main road runs across the floor of the building, eight cars wide, brightly lit, with neon lights lining the road, and overpasses that bend a few times from time to time, so you can't see the end at a glance.

He picked up a piece of broken curtain and wiped the railing clean, and leaned against the view, his hair was refreshed by the wind, and his knuckles tapped unconsciously.

"Seeing that I've succeeded in my trick, I'm in a good mood. Let me tell you something." Qi Xie seemed to have eyes behind his back, and Xie Yu opened his mouth as soon as he approached, "The two rounds of games just now brought Kui Ying here."

"What is that?" Xie Yu stepped into the balcony.

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a demon raised by a small country in the northwest. Legend has it that it was originally a baby boy with deformed white pupils. When his grandmother saw it, she thought it was a monster, so she threw him into the river and drowned. The parents learned that, Crying at the bank of the river every night, the baby boy feels it, and the hatred gradually disappears. After the body is gone, the soul has been cultivated for a hundred years to become a monster, and the array is called to be able to control drought. Clans were wiped out, historical records were lost, and Kui Ying was lost."

"How did it get called?"

"Some parts of this game happen to be the same as the summoning ceremony." Qi Xie looked at the busy traffic, "The formation was supposed to be performed by six priests, and when Kui Ying was attached to one of them, he would accept offerings, enjoy sacrifices, and give alms. Demon subjugation, drought relief, and then the priests set up another battle to send it away. But now it has been hooked by you from thousands of miles away, happily possessed, neither enjoying the VIP reception nor eating it. If you get a full banquet, of course you will be punished in anger."

"Then how to send it away."

"I can't send you away. The god sending array has long been lost. If we continue the game, Kui Ying will choose one of the six people to attach it again. Your cousin who is so clear will return to normal, and the new host will suffer. If Let's stop playing, and Kui Ying will return to his cousin's body the same way." Qi Xie put on a gloating smile, "Should we continue the game, Detective Cheng Yu?"

Xie Yu temporarily put aside this ethical dilemma: "I have read your diary, and it seems that you choose to stay out of it at all times."

"Because it's none of my business." Qi Xie took it for granted.

"Ordinary people have those 'super powers', or use them to help others, earn respect and love, or bully others to enjoy pleasure, or use them to show off, to be admired and envied by others, in order to satisfy vanity. - Don't you Are these psychological appeals?"

"Tsk tsk, so you've been asking for these all day long."

"It's normal human thinking."

"Just treat me as if I'm not human."

"If it's not human, what is it?" Xie Yu stared at him.

Qi Xie didn't answer: "Save your curiosity and don't waste it on me."

"You are here." A light came from the door, "It's starting, the last round."

Qi Xie looked sideways, waiting for Xie Yu's answer.

"Okay." Xie Yu said.

"You made the most unfavorable choice." Qi Xie said, "Aren't you afraid that Kui Ying will attach to you?"

"This is the fairest choice." Xie Yu said, "For the six of us and Qing Ye's cousin."

"Then you need this." A triangular talisman was clamped between Qi Xie's fingers at some point, "The wearer can be protected from ghosts and gods for two hours, one hundred and fifty, no second price."

Xie Yu ignored it.

Qi Xie smiled and put away the talisman paper.

The door closed slowly.

At ten o'clock in the evening, several people walked out of the dark game room talking and laughing. The last two did not say a word, one was dignified, and the other strolled.

"Who is it?" Xie Yu asked in a deep voice.

"If it's not you, you should be lucky." Qi Xie laughed, "Will you feel guilty?"

"No." Xie Yu said.

"Even so, you don't need to know." Qi Xie said, looking forward.

Among the four of them, a pair of sharp claws clasped a certain pair of shoulders, that monster with white eyes.

☆, see

Beiling Road, the place of the market.

The area is clearly a holdover from the 70s.The concrete road is only seven meters wide, full of potholes, and mixed traffic of people and vehicles.The two-storey building with the narrow road is made of red bricks. People live upstairs. The outer walls are covered with dilapidated canopies and air conditioners of different models. The long and short iron hangers have rusted. The outerwear is flamboyant.The front door downstairs is very old, with everything you need for food and clothing. There are also some strange shops scattered here and there, such as reading and interpreting dreams, naming and testing characters, calligraphy, painting, flowers and birds, and antiques.Pedestrians walk through it at will, and occasionally catch a glimpse of a very narrow staircase. They climb up curiously. There is a wooden sign on the wall at the first bend, called "Zhiguaizhai". After walking around two vertical steps, they will see a door The iron door is open, knock on the wooden door behind it, and there is a world full of weird things.

It was this road, Wei Yuanyang said that he had walked it more than a dozen times, so when he went upstairs today, he smelled something strange.

"Don't be so fucking shameless, you don't have to drink a toast!" The wooden door opened, and two men gathered around the table and yelled.

A calm laugh came from behind the table: "In the past, Boss Five and I had a pleasant cooperation. Isn't it too much for you to sit on the ground and raise prices like this?"

"I told you that this place belongs to our brother Qiang, but you still talk about the fifth child, and look down on brother Qiang!"

"Don't dare." Boss Qi said.

"You guys, these magic sticks, didn't just move and talk, and the money came. Just a few thousand yuan and so much talk, and a few more nonsense brothers will burn it tonight. Do you believe this shop? "The other stuttered a bit.

"Letter." Qi Xie responded, taking out a stack of banknotes and putting them on the table, "Money is a little tight recently, and there is only so much cash, so make up for the remaining three days, what do you think?"

"But you said, within three or three days!" The other party grabbed the stack of money and dusted it with the back of his hand, but saw more figures at the door at some point.

"Who the hell are you! You don't even fart behind your back!"

"Old Qi, do you still have someone collecting protection fees?" Wei Yuanyang asked over the two of them.

"That's right." Qi Xie said.

"Then I'm sorry you two, return the money now." Wei Yuanyang took out his police card and shook it.

The two spat and said, "It's your luck."

The sound of footsteps going downstairs gradually faded away, Qi Xie closed the door, Wei Yuanyang threw the plastic bag in his hand on the coffee table, pulled a chair and sat down: "How long have you been blackmailed?"

Qi Xie dragged his footprints with a mop: "More than a year.".

"Tell me earlier, leave the ready-made human resources unused."

"It doesn't matter, I don't have much money."

"Who said just now that money is tight and pay in installments." Wei Yuanyang pointed to the coffee table.

"If you are too generous, you will be hit more in the future." Qi Xie lifted the bag, "Yo, Mengding Ganlu. Good tea."

"It doesn't matter if you have money or not. If you co-author are bullied, you don't say anything? You can give as much as you want?"

"Otherwise."

"At least have some backbone!"

Qi Xie put down the mop to wash his hands, and opened a bag of tea: "There's nothing to be angry about. That's their way of existence. I'm too lazy to change it, and I can't change it. I accept it all."

"If he knocks you tens of thousands, will you accept it?"

"I will move."

Wei Yuanyang shook his head: "I've never seen you so fearful."

"Because I'm a pacifist."

"Peace's fart, it seems that he was used to being bullied when he was a child, so he made these stupid excuses for himself."

"Even if it's my business to make excuses, why are you unhappy." Qi Xie smiled, "Could it be that you were bullied when you were young?"

"Nonsense, I'm fine if I don't bully others with my physique."

Qi Xie handed over a cup of tea.

"If those people come again, call me directly." Wei Yuanyang said.

Qi Xie was noncommittal: "How are you doing these few days?"

"Very good." The other party sipped his tea, "Walking around Chengdu, I met two classmates, and then climbed Mount Emei together. I wanted to visit Jiuzhaigou, but I was called back by the bureau in a hurry."

Qi Xie flicked the tureen: "Are you so busy as a traffic policeman? It's not the Spring Festival travel season."

"I've been transferred to the Criminal Police Force."

"when."

Wei Yuanyang thought for a while: "It happened half a month ago."

Qi Xie looked at his expression: "You don't seem very happy."

"Is there?" Wei Yuanyang scratched his nose, "Actually, I have always wanted to be a traffic policeman, just to patrol the traffic on a bicycle, and draw a knife to help when the road is uneven, such as catching a thief, catching a cat, Help the second aunt carry a gas tank or something."

"What are your ambitions?"

"It's difficult to find the police."

"Then why did you join the criminal police team?"

"The chances of promotion are relatively high."

"You still think about these?"

"Why don't you think about it? I'm the boss and I'm not young. I've been messing around at the grassroots level and I don't know when I will be able to get ahead. If this continues, I won't be able to get my wife."

Qi Xie took a sip of tea and almost choked on laughter.

"If you have an old woman who urges marriage eighteen times a day, you will know it!" Wei Yuanyang complained, "Last month, she arranged three blind dates for me in a row! Three! The morning, the middle, and the evening are over in one go, It's about to die!"

Qi Xie gloated: "According to the psychology of ordinary people, a high-risk profession like criminal police is more difficult to be compared."

"Anyway, let's get promoted first."

"I'm afraid that you will die in the line of duty before you get promoted."

"Can you speak something human?"

"Loyalty is hard to hear."

The phone vibrated, Wei Yuanyang took it out and took a look: "I won't be poor with you, I'm going back to the brigade to report."

"Wait." Qi Xie called out to him, "Where's that box?"

"Box?"

"Don't be stupid."

"Oh, you said that." Wei Yuanyang remembered the ebony box containing the nodding ghost, "I lost it in the dormitory, and I will bring it back to you next time."

"Sure enough, you took it." Qi Xie snorted, "Do you know what it is?"

"What is it? It's just a dead monkey with green baji."

The tea cup in Qi Xie's hand froze slightly, and he said to himself, "You can see."

Wei Yuanyang has sharp ears: "Why can't I see it?"

"Xie Yu can see it too?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

He smiled lightly: "If it's okay, you should come here less."

"What do you mean?"

"Buddhists see Buddha everywhere, Christians see everything as God's arrangement. That thing is invisible to ordinary people. If you can see it, it only shows one point. ——You are almost out of the scope of 'ordinary people'."

Wei Yuanyang was a little hard to understand: "What will happen if you leave?"

"If a person yells about monsters all day long, what will others think?"

"Neuropathy."

"That's it." He smiled.

Wei Yuanyang digested it for a while, and then said: "No, if all of us can see it, doesn't that mean that something is 'objectively existing'? Since it exists objectively, it is the difference between seeing and not seeing, It’s like myopia and 5.0. As a myopia, you can’t discriminate against 5.0, so why should they say I’m crazy.”

Qi Xie laughed: "You really think there is such a thing as 'objectivity' in the world."

"Of course there is."

"Ok."

"What do you mean, it's what it is!"

"Yes yes yes." Qi Xie added water to the teacup.

Wei Yuanyang crossed his legs: "Otherwise?"

"I said yes, what else do you ask?"

"That's obviously fooling me!"

"You can't go back to the police force."

"This is a major issue related to whether I am crazy or not, and I must figure it out!"

"When you figure it out, you will be one step closer to being insane." Qi Xie said, "People can only see things within the scope of their own understanding, and they can only see things in their own way of understanding. As for the ghost, it is because We have the same understanding of it, and it exists in the same form in our eyes."

"Then others can try to understand like us."

"At the same time, that person also became a member of the psychopath."

"And it's just a different angle of looking at the problem, so it's not considered crazy."

"Ordinary people think that they are different from themselves are called neuropathy."

"And being able to see things that others can't see is clearly a super power!"

"It's only the psychopaths who say they have superpowers."

Wei Yuanyang lost his expression.

Leaning back into the back of the chair, Qi Xie waved the folding fan: "Anyway, it's better not to get too close to me, otherwise you may not be sure what will happen."

Wei Yuanyang winked: "What else can I become, Superman?"

"I'm not joking, you can do it yourself."

"What about you? You deal with those strange things all day long, so you're not afraid of accidents?"

"Take care of yourself first, don't worry about eating salty radishes, the emperor is not in a hurry for eunuchs."

"You are the eunuch!"

"Get that box
