Strive for Science

Yao Huailin's first reaction was that the person in charge of the scenic spot was lying, but he carefully observed the expression on the face of the person in charge of the scenic spot, and knew that he was telling the truth, unless the other party had actor-level acting skills.

The person in charge was worried that Yao Huailin would not believe what he said, so he quickly explained: "If you don't believe me, you can check the travel brochure. There has never been such a villa on our travel navigation map."

Yao Huailin opened the brochure of the scenic spot, and there was indeed no road sign related to the villa in it. The technicians of the police station checked the satellite plan, and there was no such villa on it.

This villa is hidden in the thick fog, as if it was a monster that suddenly appeared. What's even more strange is that there are so many bones inside.

After asking the person in charge of the scenic spot to go back, Yao Huailin took a few sips of strong tea and retrieved some surveillance cameras in the scenic spot.

Then he found out that due to the foggy weather this morning, the scenic spot had closed the gates of the peers, so the gates were very deserted.At around [-]:[-], a black car drove into the area of ​​the park, and a young man got out of the car and walked directly to the ticket office.

"Shen Changan..."

Yao Huailin clicked on the surveillance camera in the ticket hall, and found that there was no one there, but Shen Changan said this to the empty ticket hall, and then left with a few tickets and the promotional brochure of the scenic spot.

Then the gate of the scenic spot opened slowly, letting Shen Changan's car into the scenic spot, and the black car quickly disappeared into the thick fog.

The policeman watching the surveillance video with Yao Huailin felt chills all over his body. He picked up the police cap and put it on quickly. The light of the national emblem can protect him from evil.

"Brother Yao, this person...doesn't know that he sees ghosts during the day, right?" The policeman shuddered, "The ones we caught today are people or..."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the office door, and Li Dui and two colleagues walked in with a few strangers.

"This is a colleague from the security department. Today's case will be handed over to them." Captain Li glanced at the surveillance video being played on the computer screen, reached out to turn off the computer, turned around and said to the strangers, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It should." The people from the security department came over with a gentle attitude, but they acted very quickly. They took away everything related to the case, including the computer that let the surveillance video pass.

Sending away the colleagues in the security department with Li Dui, Yao Huailin was sleepy, and he followed Li Dui to the captain's office in a daze: "Li Dui, is Shen Chang'an a ghost?"

"The case has been handed over to the superior department. We don't want to discuss it casually until the facts of the case come to light." Team Li is old and has experienced various cases. He knows what to say and what is not suitable for discussion. "You have been working hard recently. , go back to rest early tonight."

"After watching that video, I can't sleep at all." Yao Huailin wiped his face, and sat down on the chair without any image, "I didn't expect Shen Changan to be such a tiger. I was rescued, if this kind of plot is made into a drama, it will be badly criticized by the audience, right?"

"You think too much, there are no ghosts in our country's film and television dramas." Captain Li patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, get off work."

Yao Huailin took out his mobile phone and sent Shen Changan a message.

Yao Huailin: Shen Changan, you are awesome.

In Yao Huailin's heart, Shen Chang'an, who is extremely awesome, is riding a shared bicycle at this moment, and there are two followers behind him.

The two said one thing to another, and another sentence to one thing, which made his brain buzzing.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will report to the police that you are maliciously following me and suspected of robbery." Shen Changan jumped off the bicycle, glared at the two of them and said, "Don't bother me, we can talk about things tomorrow, okay?"

Seeing that Shen Chang'an was on the verge of fury, Wu Wei didn't dare to continue to follow, he whispered: "I explained to the school that the thesis was yours, and when I came back, I found that you had left the school and didn't even attend the graduation ceremony. .I don’t know if this is my reason, but Chang’an, please believe me, I really can’t do such a thing of stealing a brother’s paper.”

"I know." Shen Changan glanced at Zhang Gu, Zhang Gu laughed dryly, "Then you talk slowly, I'll go first." He pretended to turn the car around and rode in the opposite direction, but while Shen Changan was not Note, a tracking spell was placed on him.

After Zhang Gu left, the relationship between Shen Changan and Wu Wei became quieter.Wu Wei scratched his head: "I don't know how to explain it, that is, I helped a lost child go home a few years ago, and then I don't know what happened, the child passed away and turned into a ghost to follow me. He owed me kindness, and he wants to repay it."

"During the thesis contest, I bragged to a friend that your thesis was well written and that you would definitely get No.1. I just went to make up the number." Speaking of this, Wu Wei smiled awkwardly, "I didn't know that this was secretly The little ghost who followed me heard it, and I don't know what method he used to switch the content of our two papers."

At that time, he was very angry and asked the kid why he did this, but the kid still thought that there was nothing wrong with helping him get No.1.He couldn't reason with a kid who was only six or seven years old, and he couldn't take other people's achievements as his own with peace of mind, so he had to go to the school to explain.

But when he came out of the school leader's office, he heard from his roommate that Chang An had already packed his luggage and left in a hurry.In the past year, Chang'an hadn't contacted anyone, and he couldn't find any news about him after searching around.

This matter has become a big rock weighing on his heart, and he always feels that if he doesn't explain it clearly, he will not be able to find peace in his heart all his life.

"I know this reason sounds absurd to anyone, but..." Wu Wei continued to scratch his head, "I really didn't lie to you."

"Where's that ghost?" Shen Changan asked.

"I don't know. He said that I disappeared after taking No.1. Maybe he felt that he had repaid his favor and gone to reincarnation?" The more he said, the more he felt that this kind of thing was nonsense, Wu Wei sighed, "I don't think he came here. Those who repay their favor are clearly here to seek revenge from me."

If Wu Wei had used this reason to explain the subcontracting of the thesis to him a day ago, Shen Chang'an would definitely have blown his head off without hesitation, but today he is a little uncertain.

He rubbed the bridge of his nose and found that the bridge of his nose was empty, and then he remembered that he forgot to put on the glasses that he took off just now.

Sighed, forget it, just throw it away.

"Don't sigh." Wu Wei said, "I swear with all the good luck in the second half of my life, I never lied to you." Although his luck in the past year was not very good.

"I didn't say I don't believe it, it's just..." Shen Changan shook his head, "It's just that the three views are a bit broken."

"It's okay, when I first saw the little ghost, my three views were broken into scum, I just got used to it." Wu Wei took out his mobile phone, "I thought it was a bad luck to be assigned to work in Wuming City, but I didn't expect I will meet you, it seems that my Mercury retrograde is coming to an end. Seeing that our misunderstanding has been resolved, why not add a contact information."

Shen Changan looked at him for two seconds: "Don't tell others that I'm here."

Although Wu Wei didn't understand why, he nodded in agreement.

After adding contact information to Wu Wei, and after listening to a lot of nagging from him, Shen Changan finally returned home.

The quiet and empty room finally gave him a space to calm down and think. He lay on the bed with his whole body stretched out, and suddenly thought of the old tree outside the office building.

Sun Jia, Miao Miao, ancient trees, playmates...

He turned over and got out of bed, picked up his phone and keys, and rushed downstairs.

The street lights outside the office building of the civilian service department were broken, and there were no lights in the yard.Shen Changan used the key to open the dilapidated courtyard gate, and walked under the huge tree.

As soon as he approached the tree, the leaves rustled, as if being blown by the wind, and seemed to be afraid.

"Come out." Shen Changan stared at the tree for a while, then suddenly said.

The tree is unresponsive.

"I heard that trees are afraid of salt water. I bought a lot of salt at home. If..."

"It's against the law to harm a protected tree." The tree made a weak voice, but no one appeared.

"It is also illegal to hurt others." Shen Chang'an said, "Since you understand the laws of human beings, why do you want to plunder other people's souls for your own selfish desires, causing the whole family to live in pain? If I hadn't accidentally released Sun Jia He will be a fool for the rest of his life, and his parents will worry about him until they die."

"And when he was about to leave, he was still thinking of you, his childhood friend. You said that human beings don't respect credibility, but I think you are a monster who is cold-blooded and ruthless, and only thinks of yourself." Shen Changan sneered, "Just because You are a demon, so you can do whatever you want?"

The big tree heard that Shen Changan's tone was wrong, and the whole tree started to shake violently in fright: "What else do you want, because of you, I lost decades of cultivation, and I can't even transform into a human being."

Hearing this, Shen Changan remembered that night, he thought that the tree demon and ghosts were things that appeared in dreams, so he beat them up.It turned out that it wasn't a dream, but he deceived himself and took everything as a dream.

He remembered that he just dragged that green-haired brat over to spank his ass. Why did he say he had lost decades of cultivation?

Now even the monsters have followed the talent show and started to take the miserable route?

"If I had known that you were the reincarnation of the meritorious body of the tenth life, I would rather leave here than provoke you." The tree was still trembling, "My cultivation base is low, and I finally absorbed the moonlight day and night to become a human being. To provoke someone like you?" The dryad's tone was filled with grievance and regret, "With a physique like yours, if you don't practice Buddhism, you come here to deal with uncles and aunts, is your brain abnormal?"

"You hurt others and caused the whole family to fall into pain. It is God's will to end up like this." Shen Chang'an was suspicious in his heart, what is the meaning of the merit body of ten lifetimes?He didn't know how much this tree demon knew, so he pretended to be careless and said, "What's so great about the meritorious body of the ten lifetimes, the days when you can't eat meat are the scariest."

"It's nothing special?!" If he could turn into a human being at this moment, the tree demon would like to jump out and shake Shen Chang'an's head to see if it was filled with brains or water. In the age when the aura is abundant, you can cultivate to become an immortal, live forever, and don’t have to go through all kinds of suffering, isn’t this what many people dream of?”

"But now is not the age full of aura, is it?" After hearing what the tree demon said, Shen Changan became even more puzzled. If he really has a physique that is hard to get close to, then why did he have so many fights with evil ghosts when he was young? about the dream.

"You have neither practiced Taoism nor Buddha. How did you survive before you became an adult?" The tree demon asked, "Although the meritorious body of the ten generations has a constitution that is invulnerable to evil, but before you reached adulthood, because of unstable fate, It’s a Shiquan Dabu pill for all kinds of big demons and old ghosts. You have read "Journey to the West", before you are an adult, your soul is equivalent to the meat of a Tang monk to those evil spirits."

"Do you also have a nobleman similar to Monkey King?"

Shen Changan: "..."

Thinking of how he tried every means to fight ghosts in his dreams when he was a child, Shen Changan felt that he might be a mutated version of Tang Seng, a fighting monk.

"Or, do you live in a place full of righteousness?" The tree demon was still muttering.

Shen Changan was stunned, living in a place full of righteousness?

He looked up at the big tree with deep eyes.

"You, you, don't look at me with such eyes, I just chat casually, chat casually." This tree has long been frightened by Shen Changan's beating, he is afraid that the other party will hit him a few more times, and he can't even touch his spiritual sense. I couldn't keep it, and turned into an ordinary tree, and hurriedly said good things: "I dare to swear to heaven, I have done this bad thing in my life."

It may be appropriate to swear today, this is already the second time I have sworn to him.

"Are you admitting that you did something bad?" Shen Chang'an sneered, and retracted his gaze, "Reform well, before you sincerely make up for your mistakes, don't even think about turning into a human."

"Wait, brother, boss, uncle, can I call you grandpa..."

Shen Chang'an ignored the shouts of the tree demon. He strode out of the courtyard, locked the courtyard door, looked at the dim street lights on both sides of the road, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness that the world was vast but no one was waiting for him to go home.

Taking out his mobile phone, Shen Changan saw Yao Huailin sent an inexplicable message, he ignored the recipient and sent a message to Dao Nian.

Chang'an: Dao Nian, do you believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world?

He had asked Dao Nian this question before, but tonight, he suddenly wanted to ask it again.Maybe he didn't want to know the answer, but just deceived himself, when he was confused, there was someone he could ask.

After posting it, Shen Changan felt that this behavior was a bit ridiculous, and wanted to withdraw the message.

Year:?

Seeing this simple greeting, Shen Changan suddenly laughed, he did not withdraw the message, and quickly replied to Dao Nian.

Chang'an: Someone told me a story just now, and I expressed my feelings.

Year: No, don't believe it.

Shen Chang'an deleted the words "maybe there really are ghosts in this world" one by one.

Chang'an: Well, I don't believe it.

Dao Nian put away his mobile phone and asked Liu Mao who was standing in front of him with his head bowed: "Tomorrow, I will add another sum of science publicity funds."

Liu Mao nodded immediately: "Okay, sir."

On Monday morning, Shen Chang'an had just entered the office, when he saw Liu Mao coming out talking and laughing with Director Du, he stopped to say hello to Liu Mao.

Seeing him appear, Liu Mao was very enthusiastic: "Mr. Shen, good morning, have you had breakfast?" Mr. Shen didn't wear glasses today, and he looked very energetic.

Shen Changan nodded.

Without waiting for Shen Changan to ask, Liu Mao took the initiative to explain his intentions: "Sir, I feel that the promotion of science should not rely solely on traditional paper media, but must also strengthen online publicity, so I came here today to donate a sum of money to your department on behalf of Mr. .”

"Thank you for your company's support for our work. I will definitely write a report and report it to my superiors with your enthusiasm for public welfare." Du Zhonghai felt that his brain might be short-circuited, and he couldn't remember Liu Mao's boss's name for a while. What, I have to use "your company" instead, "Please rest assured, in terms of financial expenditures, we will issue detailed reports to ensure that every cent is used for scientific propaganda."

"I believe in your department, let alone having Mr. Shen here, we are more at ease." Liu Mao did not forget to show Shen Chang'an's superiors the importance of Shen Chang'an in their hearts, "If it weren't for Mr. Shen, we would not know your The department has been working quietly to promote science all this time."

"This is what we should do." Liu Mao said with a smile, "Our husband has always advocated science and opposed feudal superstition. It is our honor to contribute to science."

Hearing this, Shen Chang'an secretly rejoiced that he didn't tell Dao Nian last night that maybe there really are such things as ghosts and gods in the world.

For those who do not believe in ghosts and ghosts in the world, saying something about ghosts and ghosts in front of them is undoubtedly challenging the three views.

As a friend, you should respect each other's beliefs, for example... believe in science?

At this moment, on a mountain peak in the north, monks from all walks of life looked at the foul smell surging in the canyon with embarrassed faces, and the worry in their eyes became more and more intense.

"Master Yan Yin, I'm afraid it won't work if we continue like this." An old man in a yellow Taoist robe spat out blood, his complexion was sallow, "The big sealing formation is about to fail."

They stayed here for a few days, their aura was almost exhausted, and there was no other way but to hold on.

"It really doesn't work, let's try again and ask God to respect the heavens?" Another female Taoist priest in a purple robe walked up to the Taoist priest in yellow, "What if it succeeds?"

Everyone smiled wryly when they heard the words. In the past hundred years, no one has been able to ask gods to worship heaven successfully. With the development of human technology, they gradually understand that gods have given up the human world, or that humans no longer need gods.

But when the filth overflows, a major plague will break out in the world.Although with the current level of human science and technology, a useful vaccine may be developed soon, but will these foul smells harm the human body after all?

"Try again." The purple-robed priestess opened her tired eyes and looked up at the sky filled with white clouds. "What if the heavens can hear our prayers?"

"Human beings harm nature unscrupulously, develop various resources endlessly, and have long since lost all sense of awe." Master Yan Yin slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were a little tired, "Humans have already abandoned the gods, countless gods Disappeared between heaven and earth, which god can we invite now?"

"These filth are born of human greed. All we can do is to reduce the filth as much as possible." Yan Yin sighed, "As long as human beings have selfish desires, these filth cannot be eliminated forever. But everything in the world, As long as you want to live, you will have selfish desires, which is a natural cycle and cannot be solved.”

"Amitabha, everyone has a vision." Yan Yin closed his eyes and began to read the scriptures again.

The filth in the valley spread its teeth and claws, and gradually condensed, as if it had life.

Some people pray for wealth and honor when they pray to God, some people pray for peace and longevity when they pray to God, but there are also people who reveal all their ugliness when they pray to God.For example, wishing for the death of one's partner, such as letting the whole family die of an opponent whom one cannot understand.

In front of the statue, they no longer hide their selfish desires, because they know that the god is just a statue, and they can never tell their secrets.

But... can God really not hear?

In Wuming City, at two o'clock in the afternoon on Monday, Shen Changan and Chen Panpan knocked on the door of the family. The house exuded a stench that was not cleaned often, and there were a few pairs of shoes piled up at the door.

"Hello, we are the staff of the civilian service department. I want to know about your family situation." Chen Panpan smiled at the middle-aged man who opened the door.

Facing Chen Panpan's smiling face, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and opened the door for Chen Panpan and Shen Changan to enter.

The floor of the living room was a little sticky, there were a few dirty bowls on the coffee table, and a layer of grease accumulated on the table, Shen Changan even smelled a stuffy smell of oil.

The middle-aged man had seen the job cards of Shen Changan and Chen Panpan, and asked them to sit down: "I don't know what you two want to ask?"

Shen Changan glanced at the stained sofa, asked Chen Panpan to sit down on the plastic stool next to him, and sat on the dirty sofa by himself, "It's like this, I heard that someone in your family is seriously ill. Come here to find out, is there any financial difficulty?"

"Who told you about those nosy old ladies of my wife's natal family?" The man's complexion became a little ugly, and he got up and closed the door of the room, preventing Shen Chang'an and Chen Panpan from seeing the scene in the room clearly. These old women usually like to talk nonsense, my wife has no major problems, but she lost her soul after walking at night, I have already invited someone to fetch her soul, and she will be fine soon."

Shen Changan frowned, then smiled and said, "What does it look like to lose your soul, can I go and see?"

"What's so interesting." The man saw that Shen Changan's face was tender, and he looked like he had just come out of school and didn't know the world, so he said, "Women are born with weak characters. I told her a long time ago that any decent woman would go there. She works the night shift, but she doesn't believe it, won't she bump into something dirty?"

There was not much worry about his wife in the man's tone, but rather a sense of complacency that "if you don't listen to me, you'll be at a loss".

Chen Panpan was a girl, and seeing the man like this, she couldn't help frowning.

"So there is such a saying?" Shen Changan suddenly asked, "Then eldest sister is okay now, should I send it to the hospital first, what if the doctor can help?"

"Drinking some talisman water can solve the problem, why waste the money." The man looked at Shen Chang'an warily, "You people in the civilian service department can't take care of other people's family affairs, right?"

Chen Panpan smiled and said: "It's out of control."

"Okay, I still have something to do, please leave." The man lowered his face and opened the door, "Otherwise I won't be polite to you."

He took out his mobile phone and shouted loudly: "Believe it or not, I took a video and posted it on the Internet, saying that you forcibly broke into the houses and bullied ordinary people?"

"You!" Chen Panpan couldn't bear it anymore, "Your wife is sick, if you don't send her to the hospital, how can you still have the face to wrong us?"

"If she marries me, she is mine. Whether or not she gets money to see a doctor is my business." The man stretched out his hand to push Chen Panpan, but Shen Changan stopped him.

"Sir, you have been preventing us from visiting Eldest Sister. I suspect that you are suspected of killing your wife." Shen Changan sneered, "We are relatives of Eldest Sister's natal family. We heard that she is ill, so we can't come to visit?"

"Mind your own business." The man pushed Shen Changan, but found that he didn't push it. Didn't he see how strong this tall and thin young man is?

These two young men sometimes said that they were staff members, and sometimes they said they were relatives of that ugly woman. They were clearly here to trouble him on purpose.

The more the man thought about it, the angrier he became, and he was about to hit someone with his fists.

Shen Changan pushed the seemingly strong man to the ground with one hand, suddenly there was the sound of something falling on the ground in the inner room, and then a weak woman's voice sounded in the room.

"Help... help..."

Chen Panpan's expression changed instantly, she turned to look at Shen Changan.

Shen Changan pressed harder on the man: "Panpan, call the police and call an ambulance."

After calling the police and waiting for the ambulance to arrive, Chen Panpan realized that his legs were weak.

"Chang'an, it's a good thing you proposed to distribute promotional materials to every household, and then found that something is wrong with this family." Chen Panpan looked at Shen Chang'an with admiration, "Otherwise, that eldest sister might really be killed by her husband." .”

The author has something to say: Chang'an: How can I prevent Dao Nian from discovering that there are really ghosts in this world?

Dao Nian: How can Chang An always believe that there are no ghosts in the world?
