Coincidence refers to a number of low-probability events that occur simultaneously.
Logic does not take into account probabilities.
Yu Tang put his knowledge into practice, closed the book "10 Days to Understand Human Thinking", and shared his reading experience with the system: "To Pu Ying, the student who fainted today and the student who fainted a few days ago are students in two completely independent incidents."
The system didn't dare to look, and with the screen full of indescribable small snowflakes, it covered the camera tightly.
Yu Tang: "As long as our setting conforms to basic natural science and biological principles and can exist in the context of modern society, Pu Ying will accept it."
The system bought a jailbroken excavator in advance.
“…” Yu Tang: “I wasn’t arrested.”
The system has received notification of the host's coordinate changes, and has already planned a route to escape the imperial capital overnight. It tried its best to choose its words, and flashed a small red light: "Host..."
Yu Tang: “Done.”
system:"?"
…
The unconscious student fell in front of Pu Ying's car.
In order to save time, Pu Ying leaned over and hugged him, and he quickly opened his eyes and woke up.
The student leaned in Pu Ying's arms, and with his last bit of strength, he tremblingly took out the recorder, and without any explanation, forced it to the kind-hearted car owner.
The student was dying, and he begged the kind-hearted car owner to take the crucial recorder and hand it over to the chief of the Special Investigation Section of the Security Department as soon as possible.
System: "… Pu Ying is the head of the Special Investigation Section."
Yu Tang nodded: "Yes."
Yu Tang has seen a lot of related cases and is familiar with this plot: "In this kind of plot, if it is just about handing over an item, this sentence can be said completely to the last word."
If you are trying to convey information or a warning, you can only say half of it, and miss the most critical and important part.
If you want to tell others the murderer, no matter how hard you try, the best you can do is to say the first syllable of the murderer's name before you die.
"… "
The system could not find any loopholes to refute it, and with a flashing red light, it anxiously typed out the third report on "Caring for the Host's Mental Health and Growth".
The system bought Yu Tang a whole can of lollipops and brought them back from the mall: "And... Pu Ying agreed?"
Yu Tang was quite relieved: "He also bought me a sandwich, water, and a ticket from the Imperial Capital back to Star City."
The system has begun to learn to accept this unimportant plot that is forced outside the main plot. It no longer asks for details and calls up the train timetable: "What time is the ticket? I will generate an identity ID for the host that can take the train."
"Tomorrow morning."
Yu Tang was sitting in front of the computer, concentrating on manipulating the temporarily generated student to eat a sandwich: "It's too late today, I can't buy a ticket, he invited me to spend the night with him tonight..."
system:"??"
"Teach him photography." Yu Tang knocked on the panel, "Pu Ying is not yet humane enough."
The system feels that the one with the highest degree of humanity so far may be itself: "It is... the host."
The system held the lollipop, hesitated for a long time, and quietly asked Yu Tang: "Can the host take photos?"
Yu Tang: “No.”
A few small snowflakes popped up on the system's screen.
"I am a poor and sick student now. If I knew photography, I would make money by taking photos like Luo Ran and support my ten brothers and sisters. I wouldn't be living on the streets, specifically targeting his car to scam people."
Yu Tang was very organized, typing away at the keyboard, manipulating the images of his students to describe his life: "I have been working part-time to earn money for my studies, and in the studio I was only responsible for photo editing, so I had no chance to touch a camera. I finally saved up enough money to buy one, but had to sell it off along with my books to make a living..."
In reality, Pu Ying took the camera and handed it to him.
Yu Tang's hand paused.
Pu Ying: "Here."
Yu Tang looked at the camera that was returned to him, and suddenly raised his hand and pushed away the keyboard he was typing on.
He pulled the microphone over and turned on the voice simulation: "Why?"
"You like it." Pu Ying said, "Because you like it, it's yours."
Yu Tang did not answer immediately.
Yu Tang turned off the transmitter and typed in the system in his sea of consciousness: "Is there any way to find out the final ending of the original novel and how much Pu Ying likes Wen Er?"
The system searched for a long time, and the mechanical voice was also confused: "Theoretically, it is possible... Host, but I can't find it."
Until the final volume, Pu Ying regained his lost feelings, but the favorability column was still in an unknown state that could not be viewed.
"It was mentioned in the character setting that this part of Pu Ying was lost in the storm."
The system said: "But there is no detailed explanation as to where it was lost and whether it can be found..."
Yu Tang: "On Luo Ran."
The system was stunned.
"The first time Luo Ran saw Wen Er, he immediately developed a love-at-first-sight affinity for her."
Yu Tang said: "But this good feeling is not his own. It comes from the stripping caused by the electronic storm. He accidentally inherited this part..."
Six-year-old Pu Ying really likes Wen Er.
In that electronic storm, the childhood Pu Ying was divided into two. Because of the elite education of his family, part of his nature that was unconsciously buried was stripped out along with his love for Wen Er, and he became Luo Ran.
Wen Er didn't realize this in time.
Wen Er asked Pu Ying for the love that he had promised to give him in childhood. It took him a long time and he finally realized that Pu Ying really could not give it to him.
After that, it took Wen Er even longer to finally figure out where this love had been lost.
But at that time, this love had already been destroyed by Wen Er himself.
"So in Luo Ran's ending, Wen Er told Luo Ran to return to his old self."
The system understood: "But this directly catalyzed Luo Ran's death... He lost Luo Ran forever."
System: "He had no choice but to go back to find Pu Ying, but Pu Ying will never be able to open the perception of favorability again. The reason why Pu Ying is willing to be with Wen Er is because-"
"Because of a very incredible logic."
Yu Tang nodded: "Because Wen Er likes him, so he belongs to Wen Er."
Pu Ying was trapped in this logic throughout his life.
The Pu family wanted him to repay their kindness and not to be ungrateful. Wen Er wanted him to come back and had stipulated what he should become.
This story must and can only end with "the protagonists live happily together from now on."
"Let's deduce it."
Yu Tang said: "What will happen after the ending?"
The system ran the data, and after a moment, a picture popped up on the screen: "Pu Ying and Wen Er have lived together for ten years."
For ten years, they lived a good life in the eyes of everyone. They never quarreled and lived happily together. They were the most exemplary couple.
Pu Ying's emotions are slowly recovering, and he's starting to become more and more like a real person.
As a voluntary research subject of the Chief Researcher, Pu Ying will be able to complete all treatments on their tenth wedding anniversary and become the first "survivor completely cured of the sequelae of the electronic storm" in the entire alliance.
The elders of both families were very pleased and held a grand banquet for these two young generations who had come through so much hardship.
Pu Ying did not attend, he disappeared in the early morning of that day.
His whereabouts were not difficult to find.
According to the monitoring of electronic pulses, the location where the most recent electronic storm occurred was outside Pu Ying's bedroom window.
In the surveillance video, Pu Ying was sitting on the bed in the bedroom, face to face with the gorgeous aurora for the whole night.
He has lived according to Wen Er's request for ten years. On his bedside is an exquisite dress for the banquet. In a few minutes, the butler will bring the nutritious breakfast prepared by Wen Er. After breakfast, he will go to the main research institute with Wen Er for a physical examination.
According to research, people who have been caught in an electron storm have a tendency to attract electron storms again due to changes in their own pulse frequency.
But this is not difficult to avoid.
The electronic storm moves very slowly. As long as you notice it in time, even if you just lift your legs or move slightly, you can escape from the phantom light that can devour people.
But Pu Ying sat there all night.
He watched the brilliant phantom light slowly approaching, and even stood up and put on his favorite set of private clothes - Wen Er didn't like that set of clothes, thinking it was not the style that the Pu Ying in his heart would like, and he hadn't worn it for a long time.
He put on his favorite clothes and sat back on the bed.
The housekeeper who came to deliver breakfast knocked on his bedroom door. The knocking went from gentle to hesitant, then to rapid, and finally turned into the low growl of Wen Er banging on the door.
Wen Er kicked open the locked door
He saw Pu Ying being swallowed by the electronic storm, and her body turned into inorganic gray. He desperately shook off the obstruction of others, rushed over, and grabbed Pu Ying's wrist tightly.
Pu Ying did not resist him.
Pu Ying is different from Luo Ran. Pu Ying will never resist him.
Pu Ying thought that all this was what he should do. After all, he owed someone, he owed Luo Ran's family, the Pu family, and Wen Er.
After slowly recovering from her emotions, Pu Ying would occasionally stand in front of the window, thinking alone about when she could repay all that debt.
He didn't feel sad, just a little uncomfortable.
He thought that he shouldn't have come out of the electronic storm, and now this ball of light came to take him back.
Pu Ying said "good morning" to Wen Er, and he was swallowed by the phantom light and disappeared quietly in Wen Er's hands.
…
"It shouldn't be like this." Yu Tang turned on the transmitter, "The logic is wrong."
Pu Ying was slightly stunned.
He still held the camera in his hand and looked at the student who had just swallowed two sandwiches. "What's wrong?"
Yu Tang said: "Because you like it, it should be yours. There is no such logic."
Yu Tang: "It's yours only if you pay for it."
Pu Ying: “…”
system:"… "
"Host." The system flashed a small red light and reminded worriedly, "Human behavior is very complex and cannot be generalized. It needs to be viewed dialectically—"
Yu Tang turned off the system's speaker and said, "I like your car. Can you give it to me, too?"
Pu Ying frowned.
He had not considered the relevant logical analogy, and now that the other party suddenly asked him, he didn't know what the correct answer was: "Not for now."
"I had no place to stay for three days, and the last of my money was used to buy you a second sandwich."
Pu Ying said: "I want to sleep in the car, so I can't do it for now."
Yu Tang didn't give him a chance to avoid it: "Three days later, I still like your car."
Pu Ying fell silent.
According to Wen Er's point of view, he is like a machine, with many programs input into it. These programs usually run independently without any problems.
But now, there is a basic logical contradiction between the two sets of procedures.
Yu Tang: "I also like the third sandwich. Can the 24-hour convenience store that sells sandwiches give it to me directly?"
"No." Pu Ying said, "You're not full yet? I still have two buckets of instant noodles and a box of compressed biscuits."
Pu Ying: "Overeating is harmful to your body. You can wait for half an hour. If you still feel hungry, I will give you half a bowl of instant noodles."
"..." Yu Tang temporarily turned off the transmitter and turned back to ask the system: "When was the last time you spoke like this?"
“Just left the factory.”
The system is also very complex: "We have a strong learning ability and can fully analyze and imitate humans. It will take about two months to pass the bionic human test."
Considering that Pu Ying has recovered for two years now, he will probably fail at the first stage of the bionic man test.
Yu Tang was determined not to embarrass Pu Ying anymore, so he tried a simpler and more brutal method and turned on the transmitter again.
Yu Tang asked: "I like sandwiches, but I have to pay for them, right?"
Pu Ying nodded.
Yu Tang: "I like your car, but I can only buy it if I pay for it."
Pu Ying hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Within three days—"
"I don't buy it." Yu Tang said, "How much are you worth?"
Pu Ying was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this question and was suddenly stumped by it.
Yu Tang typed in his mind: "System, system, cash."
The system flashed a small red light quickly: "How much?"
"Whatever." Yu Tang said, "Try to exchange it for change, something old, not too old, not too old looking like someone just robbed a bank..."
The experience points clattered.
Through the light screen, Yu Tang controlled the chivalrous and kind-hearted poor students to take money out of their pockets.
They were all coins and old banknotes, with only a few whole bills, colorful and thick.
Yu Tang spent all the money in front of Pu Ying.
"I don't want it." Pu Ying frowned. "I was only expelled from the family for three days. After three days, I will return to the family to report on my duties. As long as I resign from my position according to the family's requirements, I can go back."
Pu Ying knew that the student in front of her was short of money and had ten younger brothers and sisters to support: "You keep this money, they are more important to you."
Yu Tang manipulated the poor students. He had just emptied Wen Er's house and didn't care: "Don't worry, I have money."
Pu Ying was held down firmly by him. She raised her head and looked at the photography student who was barely breathing.
"This amount of money can buy you half a day... three hours, is two hours enough?"
The student looked at him. His face was so young that it looked childish. His forehead was vaguely blocking his eyes, so he couldn't see the color of his eyes. "I saw your photo on the merit wall of the Security Department... You are Pu Ying, and you are the head of the Special Investigation Section."
Pu Ying's shoulders paused silently, and he supported his body with one hand.
The student held him down: "I'll only buy you two hours, Chief Pu."
"Don't resign yet. Listen to what's in the recorder."
"After you listen to it, it's up to you to decide."
"We won't meet again, thank you for the water and sandwich."
Yu Tang held the microphone, and his voice was specially processed and spoken through the students.
He looked at Pu Ying through the light screen.
Pu Ying’s choice actually has nothing to do with him. If Pu Ying still decides to resign at this point in the plot, he still has other ways to bring down Wen Er and achieve the originally planned ending.
He just came here once in a while and wanted to give it a try.
The Pu family has already done the notarization. If Pu Ying wants to get back her inheritance rights, she still has to form a spousal relationship with Wen Er for a short period of time.
The union has entered a stable state, and the law has liberal control over marriage, allowing the free conclusion and termination of a spousal relationship at any time without strict requirements on dates.
Yu Tang has tried it before and found that the protagonist of the previous book divorced and then got married within one day, which neither violated the relevant laws nor the evaluation of the task completion by the Chuanshu Bureau.
If Pu Ying could fight for it herself, she could marry Wen Er in the morning, take back the inheritance rights in the morning, take Wen Er to the police station to surrender as a spouse at noon, divorce in the afternoon, and start a new life of her own in the evening.
Nothing will be delayed.
"Don't get close to the electronic storm again." Yu Tang warned in a low voice, "You have been swallowed up many times. If you are swallowed up again, you will be completely transformed by the electronic pulse and become a part of the storm."
Yu Tang: "The part of the storm that still has self-awareness."
Yu Tang: "You wouldn't want this."
Pu Ying's pupils shrank slightly, he raised his head and met the student's eyes.
The students released their suppression of him.
The car door slammed.
It was daybreak, and a fresh cool breeze mixed with soft light poured in. The student turned around, jumped out of the car, ran around the corner, and his figure melted into the morning mist.
Yu Tang recovered the temporarily generated poor student and returned to the sea of consciousness.
The sedative that Wen Er injected into his body only had 79% of its effectiveness left.
Yu Tang couldn't figure it out: "Wen Er wants to make me brain dead first, and now switch to black magic alchemy, so that the Pu Ying he wants can be resurrected from my body?"
system:"… "
Yu Tang had no shortage of experience points now, so he browsed through the mall and bought two stimulants.
"Host." The system quickly stopped him, "We can modify the body data directly."
"Wen Er must have underestimated Luo Ran's physical condition."
The system said: "He panicked and injected the host with a sedative according to the previous anesthetic dosage, but he forgot that Luo Ran's body was now seriously on the verge of collapse and the dosage should be adjusted accordingly."
The situation was so chaotic that Wen Er didn't have any extra time to think about how to adjust the dosage.
He returned to the main institute and finally restored normal communication signals, but no matter how hard he tried, the Pu family would not answer his calls.
It was not until this time that Wen Er had a chance to think back and finally realized the abnormality of this video call.
Pu Sicun did value him very much, but the Pu family was different from the Luo family. All personal emotions and choices had to be put behind the overall interests of the family.
Including the treatment of Pu Ying.
Pu Sicun's punishment of Pu Ying this time was too harsh, it couldn't be just to appease him. If he just wanted to know about Pu Ying's current recovery, there was no need for Pu Sicun to call in person.
Being able to get the head of the Pu family to come forward must be a more important matter.
It was Luo Ran's abnormal display of weakness that made him too confident... He didn't even realize this.
"Wen Er is very upset, the host must be careful."
The system reminds: "According to his personality, when his emotions fluctuate violently, he may behave out of control."
Yu Tang knew what was going on: "Isn't it just grabbing my collar and pushing me to the ground? I've seen that before."
His physical data is controlled by the system. Although he is limited by his own physical fitness, he may not be able to win if they really fight... But if Wen Er gets too out of control, Yu Tang has also prepared his own way to fight back.
For example, exchanging Wen Er's meniscus.
A temporary iron stool leg was formed, which broke Director Wen's kneecap, forcing the doctor to perform surgery to remove it.
Or exchange Wen Er's appendix and temporarily generate an acute perforated appendicitis.
Or exchange Wen Er's bilateral femoral heads.
"..." System: "Not this kind, host."
Yu Tang was still thinking about the possibility of exchanging some of Wen Er's functions. He came back to his senses and turned off the light screen in his mind: "Isn't it?"
"No." The system said, "Wen Er prefers mental destruction. He can get a strong pleasure from it... He is ready to completely destroy Luo Ran."
Yu Tang frowned.
Yu Tang turned down the volume of the system and shielded Luo Ran's study room: "What is he going to do?"
Before the system could answer, the door of the observation room was opened.
Wen Er walked in.
He looked calmer than usual. He walked to the bed where Luo Ran was lying quietly and patted Luo Ran's pale cheek gently.
He was patient and waited until Luo Ran opened his eyes slightly in a trance.
The powerful sedative had not yet worn off and Luo Ran's vision was still blurry. He could barely notice the person in front of him and his eyelashes trembled in fear.
"Sit up." Wen Er gently touched Luo Ran's hair, "You know I don't like to see you lying there, doing nothing."
He lowered his eyes, his movements and tone were very gentle, but his words were extremely cold-blooded.
Luo Ran had a particularly clear impression of his condition.
Wen Er would only enter this seemingly completely opposite state when everything was out of control and he was furious.
He would take care of Luo Ran gently and talk to Luo Ran, and no one could hear what he said except Luo Ran.
"Why don't you just disappear into the electronic storm?"
Wen Er looked at Luo Ran gently: "Why did you come back? Why did you cause trouble for me?"
Luo Ran's arms were trembling.
He struggled to gather up a little strength and propped himself up tremblingly. His forehead drooped as he moved, covering his eyes.
Wen Er reached out and clamped Luo Ran's jaw.
"You made a mistake." Wen Er said, "Do you remember what we agreed on? This kind of mistake... How are we going to punish you?"
Wen Er exerted force on his hands, forcing Luo Ran to look up: "There are errors in the data of two of your parents' papers, and I concealed it."
Luo Ran was shaking, he was very weak, cold sweat broke out on his body, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "No... you tampered with the data."
"My parents wouldn't make a mistake." Luo Ran's voice was very low, "You intercepted their seal and tampered with it..."
"Is there any difference?" Wen Er asked.
Luo Ran felt like his throat was being strangled.
Wen Er touched Luo Ran's face and smiled almost affectionately: "Wrong is wrong."
"They didn't even notice it themselves, and neither did they make corrections nor contact the journal to make corrections. When the replication experiment fails... they will be nailed to the pillar of shame for falsifying data."
Wen Er's voice was hoarse, and a hint of coldness seeped out: "It's because of you, Luo Ran."
"You shouldn't have gotten into trouble."
"Now you have caused me serious trouble and made me angry."
"They will get into trouble, their reputation will be ruined, their scientific career will end... all because you don't listen."
…
Yu Tang couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he asked the system in his mind: "Does he look down on me?"
The system held up a lollipop and instant noodles, and had been coaxing Yu Tang for ten minutes. With a screen full of snowflakes, it said, "Host, please bear with it for a while."
"We'll drug him later." The system whispered, "Be patient, Luo Ran's parents must not get into trouble..."
Yu Tang: "Why did Luo Ran's parents get into trouble?"
The system froze.
Yu Tang took out a hallucinogen and turned around to leave the sea of consciousness.
In reality, Luo Ran's trembling suddenly stopped.
Wen Er frowned.
Luo Ran raised his hand and casually pushed away Wen Er's hand that was clamping on him. He pushed himself hard and leaned back against the wall weakly.
His forehead was soaked with cold sweat, which slightly opened up with his movement, revealing his half-covered eyes.
Wen Er's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Pu Ying" was leaning crookedly against the wall, his cold, heartless eyes reflecting his miserable figure.
"That's it?" The person in front of him smiled, "It's boring..."
Wen Er suddenly became furious: "Shut up!"
He rushed over and grabbed Luo Ran's collar hard.
This illusion, which he didn't know whether it was real or not, was almost driving him crazy.
Wen Er couldn't understand, if it was really his "Pu Ying", why would she say such things again and again, why did she always seem to be dismissive of him, as if he was just some ridiculous clown.
Wen Er could no longer control his emotions and asked harshly: "Why do you look down on me? Who do you think you are? Without me, you would never-"
"Pu Ying" raised the corner of his mouth and looked away.
There was a sharp buzzing in Wen Er's head.
He couldn't say any more, his chest heaving violently, his eyes filled with bloodshot, he grabbed the cold figure tightly and lifted it up.
This is Luo Ran's body—he knows it better than anyone else.
Luo Ran's body was completely broken. He was lifted up like this, and he didn't even put up the most basic resistance. He hung his head, breathing shallowly and rapidly, his body was so cold that his hands were frozen, and his heartbeat was so weak that he couldn't even feel his carotid artery.
With just a little effort, he could strangle Luo Ran's neck.
"You tampered with Luo Ran's parents' paper, which was published in the S-level journal four months ago."
Luo Ran's body slumped in his hands, but his voice remained calm and steady, as if it came straight from his chest: "Is that so?"
Wen Er's pupils narrowed slightly.
Four months ago... Luo Ran developed the personality of "Pu Ying"
"Pu Ying" has been watching him do this? Has been watching him use shady means to imprison Luo Ran, watched him destroy Luo Ran's defenses, watched him be burned into a devil by desire -
"Just watching?"
A faint smile without warmth suddenly came out of that person's voice: "Wen Er, I've said before that everything you have is given by me."
Wen Er was suddenly nailed to the ground by this slow and leisurely judgment.
Suddenly, an intense, uncontrollable fear rose in his eyes. He almost wanted to shake off this body, but he seemed to have suddenly lost the strength to move.
"I have reviewed Luo Ran's parents' papers in advance, and the one I submitted is the original version that has not been tampered with."
The man said, "You never stop me from entering your study because you know that Luo Ran can't understand those things."
“… But you.”
"Why can't you learn to be smart? You shouldn't have made me angry."
"You also know that once the basic data is tampered with, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame for data falsification, and your scientific research career will end."
"I didn't intend to do this, Wen Er, it's you who is so boring."
…
Warm your whole body and relieve the cold.
He could hardly resist the urge to rush back and take out the journal to read the few chapters he had written.
Luo Ran couldn't understand this stuff, he was sure of that.
But what if the original Pu Ying's personality awakened in Luo Ran's body ahead of time, and even entered his study and casually flipped through his papers...
Pu Ying raised his head.
His strength was already very weak, and he had to rely on Wen Er to hold his collar to keep from falling.
"Don't worry, I didn't tamper with the data in your paper. This method is too low-level and too easy to be discovered."
He tilted his head slightly and looked at Wen Er.
His face was as white as snow, but there was still a slight cold smile in his eyes.
"I don't have to tamper with your data."
"Wen Er, you have considered everything so thoroughly, why haven't you thought about..."
"Those basic data you got were originally given to you by me, right?"
