"As an ordinary person who is found to have no qualifications for cultivation, you are destined to be unable to obtain immortality through cultivation. If you are given a life span of five hundred years, as a price, you will no longer be able to have any descendants. Will you agree or refuse? "
A link to the question was quickly circulated on the Internet. Every minute, every second, people clicked on it and cast their only votes for two different options.
The numbers for and against change from moment to moment.
In a city on the west coast of the United States, there is room 314 on the top floor of a skyscraper.
The room was luxuriously decorated, with a huge floor-to-ceiling screen on which numbers were beating rapidly.
A young man with long hair shawl, leaning back on the tiger leather sofa, looking at the screen in front of him, with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"This is the only desire that mortals have."
"Haha, Mr. Yun, most of these voters are mediocre people who are not worthy of enjoying the blessings of vitality. Keeping them here is a waste of cultivation resources." An old man in ancient robes stood aside and said in support.
"God has the virtue of good life, so it is better to let them become extinct voluntarily," the young man shook his head and said, "It is not my Taoist's fault to engage in reckless warfare."
When Ling Yunzi heard this, he immediately sneered secretly. It was really hypocritical. He obviously had the same view as himself, that is, he didn't want those mediocre people to continue to live and waste cultivation resources, but he still wanted to put up a high-sounding sign.
Naturally, he would not show it, but echoed: "Master Yun is so benevolent and righteous that he can consider such mediocre people. It's just that these five hundred years of life can be given to ten people or a hundred people, but if it is given to billions of people, I’m afraid this won’t be easy to achieve, right?”
"Haha, Taoist Master Ling Yunzi, do you know what the nature of time is?" Mr. Yun smiled slightly.
"Well, things like hourglass timing, the stars moving, the sun rising and the moon setting... these are all times, right?" Ling Yunzi said this, but he was constantly calculating in his heart.
"Haha, what the Taoist said is a bit wrong, but people here can see it clearly... There is no such thing as time in the world, there is only matter and movement. Time is just something that people create to facilitate their lives. In other words , it is closely related to people's feelings. With your Taoist qualifications, I believe you should understand it, right?" Mr. Yun smiled again.
"Oh..." Ling Yunzi was stunned when he heard this, then suddenly realized, and immediately praised, "He is indeed a proud man of heaven. He has such a method, I admire him!"
"Haha, it's easy to talk. This young master has just arrived, and I have to rely on you, an old man from the Taoist sect, for many things."
"It's my wish, but I dare not invite you." Ling Yunzi nodded heavily at that moment.
But he thought in his heart, if this happens, if you don't fight with that person, my last name will be written upside down.
Mr. Yun smiled slightly, then stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, leaned over and looked down, and saw people and cars surging below.
He shook his head and said with a look of compassion: "Well, most of all living beings are suffering. If we can be liberated as soon as possible, it will be beneficial to both of us."
"Yes, this can be considered as their contribution to future generations, and everyone will remember them in the future." Ling Yunzi also smiled.
… …
"The Alliance of Orderers sent an emergency notice, saying that a large number of mysterious suicides have occurred in North America. The characteristic is that their bodies are intact and there are no internal or external injuries, but they die suddenly. The common denominator of the deaths is that they all clicked through a website before their death. A certain option..." Zheng Daozheng reported to Fang Ning nervously.
"Sounds a lot like an evil spirit doing evil? Such things seem to be rare." After hearing this, Fang Ning said to the uncle.
"Yes, when I first debuted, I often encountered these weird things. As my reputation grew, these things became less and less common. This is all due to my efforts to clean up the world, but no one gave me an extra penny. The remuneration really makes the system heartbroken!" The uncle said sadly.
"Young Master, you have never failed to declare the bonus for your bravery. Even abroad, you asked Zheng Dao to go through the procedures." Fang Ning said speechlessly.
"Uh, is that true? I'm exaggerating, but compared to my work, the pay is still too little."
"How many times have I told you, don't focus on money, otherwise you won't make any money," Fang Ning lectured again, "The problem now is to quickly find out the origin of this matter."
"That's easy, just call the yellow dog." The uncle said disdainfully.
"Huang Gouzi is preparing for the Yuanqi Academy of Sciences, which is more important," Fang Ning refused, "I think this matter is a little weird, so we need to find an expert to do it."
"Aren't you an expert?" the uncle said plausibly.
"Uh, I, I can't." Fang Ning was scared to death after watching horror movies. Why not let him investigate the source of this weirdness and end his life
He immediately refused, "What if I get tricked too, wouldn't it be extremely unlucky? I need to find someone who is immune to this and has investigative expertise."
"Then someone has chosen. Isn't it appropriate to have an extra-large carrot?" The uncle had an idea and took out a character card that was about to go moldy.
"Haha, he is really suitable. He is from the former Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, he is familiar with the local environment, and he has the righteousness to protect himself. It is a perfect fit. Sure enough, a fool will find something after all his worries." Fang Ning sighed deeply.
"You are secretly scolding me again..." The uncle was very dissatisfied.
"You can actually hear that?" Fang Ning felt guilty for a moment and quickly changed the subject, "Call Robert immediately and ask where he is?"
… …
Robert is investigating this sudden and terrible accident with his former partner, the black man Jim.
The other party stabbed him in the ribs in the past, which confirmed the Chinese proverb... "If you are a friend, you have to stab him in both sides." However, he still chose to forgive the other party.
Because the other party was just following orders, and now they have a common goal and fight for the re-emergence of rice.
This is measure.
"This seems to be a kind of euthanasia? Their brains send out self-death signals, and then the whole body is really dead." Jim was holding a crystal ball in a villa, looking at the corpses lying on the ground.
In the past, such an incident would have shocked the whole country and even the world.
But now, the only thing left to do is grab a headline in a local tabloid.
Because there are too many.
Robert knelt down and closed the eyelids of a white woman on the ground.
The other party's dilated pupils seemed to be about to say something, and there was some regret, beauty, and a little bit of disbelief in them.
"I have investigated and found that before they died, they all logged into this mysterious website and submitted a positive answer to this question."
"Hateful, it seems that this is another evil thing that uses the Internet media to spread extraordinary power and then commit evil." Jim said harshly.
A family of five disappeared like this, and their cold bodies reminded everyone:
Even if there is a lighthouse shining in the sky, there is still a dark place beneath the lighthouse.
