Strive for Science

Hearing that Shen Chang'an was going to return to work after the weekend, the staff around Dao Nian tried to persuade him to stay. Their enthusiastic attitude wished that Shen Chang'an would live here from now on and not leave.

"Mr. Shen, there are so many rooms here, the environment is good, the air is good, and there are many ingredients you like to eat. How about you stay a few more days?" He stretched out his hand to hold Shen Changan in place.

"Mr. Liu, I'll come back next time. Anyway, we all live in the same city, not far away." When Shen Changan came, his hands were empty. Vegetable, his behavior is the standard autumn wind.

"Although far is not far, but you will leave, sir will be reluctant."

"I keep in touch with Dao Nian every day, and I'll come over to play with him on weekends." After Shen Chang'an said this, he looked up at the silent Dao Nian in the corridor on the second floor, "Really, Dao Nian?"

Dao Nian stared at him for a few seconds: "Come up."

Shen Changan ran upstairs in small steps, and knelt down in front of Dao Nian: "What's wrong?"

A silver men's necklace was worn around his neck, Dao Nian withdrew his hand: "Birthday gift."

"My birthday is..." Shen Changan was stunned for a moment. Ever since his parents passed away, he had always celebrated his birthday in the Gregorian calendar, because he couldn't remember the days in the lunar calendar, and no one deliberately remembered them for him.He was about to say that his birthday is not in these few days, when he suddenly remembered that his birthday in the lunar calendar is in this month.

He took out his mobile phone calendar and looked it up, and it was his lunar birthday in two days.

"Thank you..." The necklace felt cold against his neck, Shen Changan looked up at Dao Nian, showing a gentle smile, "Dao Nian, thank you."

Dao Nian didn't know what to say, seeing Shen Chang'an's shining eyes, he reached out and stroked the top of his hair: "Come back early at night, stay with me for the next two days."

"Ah?" Shen Changan was stunned, did this mean to keep him?

"Leave after the birthday." Dao Nian turned his head and glanced at the crowd downstairs, "There are so many people, it's lively."

"This, will this trouble everyone too much?" Shen Changan was a little embarrassed. It seemed inappropriate to let his friends worry about his own birthday?

"No trouble, no trouble." Liu Mao downstairs shook his head tactfully, "We all hope that Mr. Shen will stay here for a while."

Daonian raised his chin and looked at Shen Changan.

Shen Chang'an instantly understood what he meant, he was saying "Look, they don't find it troublesome".

After realizing it, Shen Changan suddenly laughed out loud, and bumped Dao Nian's knee with his forehead: "Dao Nian, why are you so cute?"

Dao Nian blinked, as if he didn't quite understand where he was "cute".

Seeing him like this, Shen Changan immediately laughed out loud, got up, turned around and went downstairs, walked to the door, turned around and saw Dao Nian sitting in the corridor looking at himself, and waved to him: "I'll be back early at night."

Dao Nian looked away as if nothing had happened, as if he had just glanced casually.

As for Liu Mao, he hurriedly took away Shen Changan's packed salute, fearing that after seeing it, Shen Changan would think it would be better to go back to his home.

After Shen Changan left, the door was slowly closed, and the room returned to its usual quiet appearance.

The soft carpet turned into clouds, the spiral staircase turned into empty cloud steps, and even the crystal lamp on the ceiling lost its hanging pillars and turned into fist-sized stars, quietly floating in the air.

"Sir, the plague ghost has already gone south, and may pass through Wuming City." Liu Mao stood upright, "Human monks once set up an altar, please help Nuo God."

"Nuo God?" Dao Nian seemed to be thinking, what kind of god is this.

"The God of Nuo is a priesthood dedicated to treating epidemic ghosts. Since the last God of Nuo dissipated a hundred years ago, no new god has been born." Liu Mao smiled awkwardly, "Although there are still ceremonies to honor the God of Nuo in the world, most of them are performed in the form of literature and art. There is not much faith in the form, and it is difficult to give birth to a new god."

Dao Nian flicked his hand, and many images appeared in the air, including doctors working overtime to rescue patients, scientific researchers with research data, businessmen investing in drug research, countless experimental platforms, and medical equipment.

"They can do better on their own." Dao Nian clicked on one of the pictures, an elderly and frail woman wearing a ventilator, writing the experimental formula with trembling hands, surrounded by several young people crying softly.

They called the old man "teacher".

Pointing with his index finger, the screen disappeared. Dao Nian looked at Liu Mao and the others standing in front of him, "Do you understand?"

Liu Mao was silent.

"Human beings are very smart, and they don't need gods as much as you think." Dao Nian closed his eyes, his face was so beautiful that there was no flaw, it was full of indifference and ruthlessness, "Perhaps, some gods need humans more."

The room was silent, and when everyone raised their heads again, there was no sign of Dao Nian in the corridor.Everyone is a little puzzled. Sir, are you saying that human beings are indifferent and ruthless, and after they don’t need gods, they forget about gods? Or do you think that some gods are incompetent, and if they are not needed by humans, they can’t even maintain their gods?

As soon as he returned to the office, Shen Changan received kind condolences from his colleagues. Even Chen Panpan, who likes to eat snacks, generously shared a few packs with him.

On the contrary, Aunt Juan, who usually dresses herself exquisitely, looks a little out of spirits today, and even makeup can't conceal her tiredness.

Seeing Shen Changan coming in, Gao Shujuan stretched out her hand and stuffed a lucky bag for him: "Come on, I brought this back from my hometown. Each of you has one, and you have to carry it with you these few days."

Shen Changan took it, put the lucky bag into his coat, and said to Gao Shujuan: "Thank you, Aunt Juan, for thinking of us while being so busy. You just came back from your hometown, do you want to rest for a few more days?"

"There's no time to rest..." Gao Shujuan smiled wryly, and was about to say something when she suddenly noticed something and took a closer look at Shen Chang'an, "Did something happen to Chang'an in the past few days?"

"I'm angry when I talk about this matter, Chang'an is insane." Chen Panpan told Gao Shujuan about the best incident that happened a few days ago, "Do you think this kind of scum can be angry?"

Gao Shujuan hesitated to speak, met Shen Changan's gaze, and nodded after a while: "It's quite exasperating. If I were here, I would scold and cry all the eighteen generations of his ancestors."

"Your old skills, we are definitely not comparable." Chen Panpan nodded again and again, don't look at Aunt Juan cleaning the table in the department when she is free, telling everyone about life's little chicken soup, but when she was working on women and children's protection , who made countless scumbags cry their fathers and mothers, almost committing suicide and apologizing.

It is rumored that because of her sharp eloquence, she was complained many times, so she was assigned to their civilian service department and lived a peaceful life.

But these are all rumors, and she hasn't watched the live version, so it's hard to tell if it's true or not.

Before everyone chatted a few words, a call came from the police station, saying that they were going to the meeting point soon, and the patrol routes and time were allotted uniformly.

Due to the shortage of manpower, not only their departments, but also the street office have seconded manpower. Everyone rushed to the gathering square to receive the work operation flow sheet and work card.

Since today is the eve of Halloween, the above specifically explained that everyone should work hard today and work overtime.

The patrols are divided into two groups, most of which are men and women. Shen Changan and Gao Shujuan are in a team, mainly responsible for a bus line in the suburbs.After nine o'clock in the evening, when the bus stops running, go to a nearby square with a lot of traffic to meet Ding Yang and Chen Panpan.

The bus company is very happy. In recent years, Halloween has become popular in China. This is a good thing. It means that everyone has a rich life and has time and spare money for entertainment.However, due to the different ideas between the older generation and the younger generation, there have been many conflicts. Now the government has specially arranged staff to help them with their work. Of course, they applaud and welcome them.

Wuming City is not a big place, except for the rush hour, the bus is not very crowded.Shen Changan saw that Aunt Juan's face was really not very good, and worried that she would not be able to bear it, so he let her sit in the back seat to rest, and he was in charge of the main supervision work.

Until the afternoon, nothing happened to them. Although some young people dressed up for the festival, they were not too out of the ordinary. A little girl dressed as a faceless man came to take a photo with him on purpose. He is so handsome.

After being busy for most of the day, Shen Changan and Aunt Juan took advantage of the time when the bus drivers were on shift in the evening, and ate noodles at a nearby noodle shop.Halfway through eating, he suddenly remembered that someone was still waiting for him to go home for dinner today, so he quickly took out his cell phone and called Dao Nian.

"I can't come back tonight."

"I didn't make a dinner appointment with anyone, and I had to work overtime at night, so I couldn't come back until late at night."

"Don't wait for me, go to bed early, and remember to drink a glass of milk an hour before going to bed."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Changan saw Aunt Juan sitting across from him looking at him with a half-smile, and was a little puzzled: "Aunt Juan, what kind of eyes do you have?"

"I thought you didn't have a girlfriend when you were young. I didn't expect someone at home to wait for you to go back. The young people nowadays are really amazing." Gao Shujuan gave him a thumbs up, "Bring your girlfriend to the next dinner Come on, it's not good to leave her alone at home waiting for you to go back."

Shen Chang'an was stunned for a long time before he realized, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Aunt Juan, you misunderstood, I stayed at a friend's house for the past few days, and I had an appointment to have dinner with him at night, but who knew that I would have to work overtime at night, so I must tell him in advance Say it."

"friend?"

"Yes, friend." Shen Changan poured some vinegar into his face, "But if he is willing to come to dinner in the future, I would like to bring him along."

Thinking of Dao Nian's empty house, Shen Chang'an was always a little worried, and tried his best to let Dao Nian find some fun in life.

"So that's the case." Gao Shujuan smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

"It's okay, you also care about me." Shen Changan ate the noodles, the taste of the noodles in this small street noodle shop was very ordinary, but he was really hungry, so he ate up a bowl of noodles.

When she walked out of the noodle shop, Gao Shujuan asked: "I came to work today and found that the leaves of the tree in the yard were falling more and more seriously. According to Panpan, what disease does that tree seem to have?"

Hearing what Aunt Juan said about this, Shen Changan felt a little guilty. How could he tell Aunt Juan that this hundred-year-old tree was slapped like this by him? Even if he said so, no one else would. will believe.

He rubbed his nose: "Maybe. In addition, the leaves are easy to fall in autumn, so it seems a little serious. Maybe after the spring of next year, it will slowly return to normal."

"You make sense." Gao Shujuan lowered her eyelids. After observing here for half a year, she found that the tree was so cultivated that it could even transform into a human form, so even if she found that the tree captured the soul of a living person, I dare not act rashly.Just when she finally figured out the habits of the tree demon and was about to ask her colleagues to help rescue the soul, she found that the living soul hidden in the tree's heart was gone.

She thought that her soul had been swallowed by the tree, but the news came the next day that Sun Jia's sanity had returned to normal.At that time, she wondered whether it was Shen Chang'an who rescued the soul. After all, many demons who follow the path of serious cultivation would not dare to provoke such a person with profound merit.

But she soon discovered that Shen Chang'an didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, which meant that he didn't know that there was a demon under the office building, and he didn't know the means of subduing ghosts.That being the case, how could he bring back Sun Jia's soul from the tree demon?

So, which unborn master did a good deed without leaving his name?

If it is possible, can this expert do another good deed, such as eradicating the plague ghost?

After following the bus for a day, Shen Changan rushed to the square with Gao Shujuan in a top-heavy manner. He saw that many businesses around the square were engaged in Halloween promotions, and shook his head: "These businesses really wish they could do 360 for five days, every day. During the festival."

"Anyway, as long as the businessman is happy, the consumer is happy." Gao Shujuan saw that Shen Changan's complexion was pale, "Changan, if you are tired, let's find a place to sit for a while?"

"I'm fine, but after sitting in the car for a long time, my mind is shaking." Shen Changan rubbed his temples, "In the past month, I don't even want to take the bus."

On the square, some children were dressed as little wizards by their parents, waving staffs and running around, like moving short winter melons, quite cute.

Shen Changan had just taken two steps when a chubby man suddenly stretched out his wand and pointed towards Shen Changan: "Become a pumpkin."

"Ah, I've turned into a pumpkin!" Shen Changan squatted down cooperatively, spreading his hands and pretending that they were the pumpkin leaves on the pumpkin. "This great wizard, when will you turn me into a human?"

Little Fatty laughed out loud, put his little hands behind his back, and walked around Shen Changan: "Okay, for the sake of being so pitiful, I will let you return to adulthood."

"Thank you, great wizard." Shen Chang'an stood up, saw that the parents of the little chubby pier were coming to thank him, he waved his hand, signaling that they don't have to come, turned and walked towards the center of the square.

In the center of the square, I don’t know which merchant is doing promotional activities. Some folk artists were invited to sing and dance on it, surrounded by people watching the fun. Among these audiences, some were dressed as animals, and some were dressed as animals. Nie Xiaoqian and someone dressed as Zhu Bajie were touched by many children.

Therefore, no matter what festival is spread to China, it can be enjoyed by Chinese people with their own taste.

After finally finding Ding Yang and the others in the noisy crowd, Shen Chang'an saw Ding Yang's face was pale and looked severely damaged: "What's wrong with you?"

"Motion sickness." Chen Panpan said helplessly, "Passengers in the car cared all the way in the afternoon, and a 70-year-old man gave up his seat for him."

"I don't usually do this, but I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in the afternoon, maybe I have a cold." In order to prove that he is a weak chicken with only five combat effectiveness, Ding Yang said quickly, "I didn't get dizzy in the speeding car driving in Chang'an, let alone bus."

"Speed ​​car, what speed car?" Shen Changan looked at Ding Yang innocently, "I don't know."

Ding Yang: "..."

Shen Changan, I didn't expect you to be such a person.

The neon lights were shining, and everyone was a little tired after patrolling for a day. Sitting in rows on the edge of the flower bed, looking at the lively crowd around them, they didn't want to move.

I just want to go home, take a shower, and sleep well.

When plague ghosts come to the world, they will always be accompanied by human pleading and panic.Of course, this is the treatment of those plague ghosts in the past.This time, the newly born plague ghost followed the strong wind for nearly a thousand kilometers. After landing in a city, he found that the lights were flickering and there were people everywhere.

He has the memory inheritance of past generations of plague ghosts in his mind. Doesn't the night in the human world look like this?

Touching the horns on his head, the plague ghost showed the terrible red rash on his body, ready to enjoy the screams and cries of pedestrians around him.

However, what he didn't expect was that passers-by hurried past him as if they didn't see him.Some people took out their mobile phones to take pictures of him, saying something like "no public morals".

The plague ghost was a little puzzled, did he really come to the world, not hell?

"I said buddy, although today is the eve of Halloween, everyone can play around, but there should be a limit. There are many old people and children around, isn't it disgusting that you are dressed like this?" A young man wearing horns Come over, "There is a special Halloween night club in the bar over there. It is more suitable for you to go there. The square here is a public leisure area. It may not be good to dress up too scary."

"But you are very cruel to yourself." The young guy looked at the man in front of him. He wore dirty and ugly horns on his head, his skin was painted dark blue, and there were pustules on his body with very realistic effects. Take a second look. It was unbearable, "Who are you playing?"

"I am the plague god, why don't you mortals quickly pay tribute and kneel down?" The plague ghost said with a sinister smile, "Anyone who gets close to me within a hundred meters will die of the plague within seven days. Only those who sincerely worship me can be exempted." Catastrophe."

"It's quite deep into the drama." The young man pointed to the bull horns on his head, "I'm still the Bull Demon King, do you know who my brother is, if you defeat Sun Wukong, it's just a blink of an eye to beat you."

The plague ghost is at a loss, who is the Bull Demon King and the God of War Buddha, and these human beings, why aren't they afraid when they see him?

This man has been talking to him for so long, why hasn't he caught the plague he released?

He doubted again, is this the world after all?

"Wow!" A child's cry suddenly came from not far away, the sound was so loud that it almost pierced the eardrum of the plague ghost.

"Wow, woof, woof!" A big golden dog barked at him from a distance, with its tail between its legs.

"Who is this person? Does he have a sense of public morality to dress up like this in the square?"

"That's right, everything is trendy, regardless of the occasion, don't you have to eat shit while it's hot?"

"Shut up." Plague Ghost saw that these untouchables dared to point fingers at him, and roared, "If you dare to say one more word, I will kill you all in the city, leaving no dogs or chickens behind."

"Oh, my god, my god." A high-pitched aunt clutched her chest, looking as if she was about to faint, "He actually threatened us, he wanted to kill someone, I'm about to have a heart attack, call the police."

Enraged by this group of humans, the plague ghosts stretched out their hands and spilled a large amount of plague. Green smoke spread in the air, and soon everything within a five-meter radius was enveloped in green smoke.

"Quickly call the police, there is a psychopath here that endangers public safety."

"Stop him quickly, he is still running and throwing things!"

"What's the matter in front, why is it so noisy?" Shen Changan noticed the noise coming from a corner of the square, and said to the three colleagues, "Sit down for a while, I'll go over and have a look."

Walking to the troubled side, he saw several children crying, one of them was the one who "turned him into a pumpkin" just now.

The little chubby winter melon, who was cheerful just now, is crying out of breath beside his parents, obviously frightened.

Not far from them, there was a disgustingly dressed young man who was sprinkling green powder outside, and the air smelled disgusting.

But this person is still very flexible, and no one else can get close to him.

No one knew what he was throwing, the crowd here was dense, Shen Changan rushed towards this troublemaker without thinking.

"Chang'an, don't get close to that, it's..." Gao Shujuan, who followed, saw this scene, her expression changed drastically, and she wanted to stop Shen Chang'an's actions.

Shen Changan ran very fast. He grabbed the man's arm with one hand and hit it hard. The man screamed in pain, and the green powder in his hand disappeared.

I don't know what kind of cosmetics the other party used, the thing on his arm felt a little sticky, Shen Changan found it disgusting, so he let go of his arm, kicked the man with a flying kick, the man fell to the ground with a thud, his head kissed the floor Crisp.

Shen Chang'an turned around and smiled gently at the crying children: "Don't be afraid, brave little wizards, the demon has been defeated by the pumpkin knight. Do you want to take out your wand and turn this demon into a pumpkin? Then let him be taken away by the police uncle?"

Seeing this scene, Gao Shujuan swallowed all her next words.

She felt that her cultivation might have been exhausted recently, and her eyes had problems. The one kicked over by Shen Changan must not be a plague ghost.

It can't be, it's not true!

The author has something to say: Aunt Juan: Sorry, I don’t want to say anything, sorry to bother you~
