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 didn't believe his words, so he quickly explained: "If you don't believe me, you can check the travel brochures. We have never seen this villa on our travel map."
Yao Huailin opened the brochure of the scenic spot, and there was indeed no road sign related to the villa. The technicians of the police station checked the satellite plan, and there was no such villa on it.
This villa was hidden in the thick fog, as if it was a monster that suddenly appeared, and what was even more strange was that there were so many corpses inside.
After asking the person in charge of the scenic spot to go back, Yao Huailin drank a few sips of strong tea and retrieved some monitoring in the scenic spot.
Then he found that because of the foggy weather this morning, the scenic spot had closed the door of his peers, so the door was very deserted. At about 8:40, a black car drove into the park area, and a young man got out of the car and walked directly to the ticket office.
"Shen Changan..."
Yao Huailin turned on the surveillance in the ticket office and found that it was empty, but Shen Changan said this to the empty ticket office, and then left with a few tickets and a brochure for the scenic spot.
Then the gate of the scenic spot opened slowly, and the car that Shen Changan was riding in entered 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. He picked up the police cap and quickly put it on. The light of the national emblem could protect him from evil.
"Brother Yao, this person... don't know he's a ghost in the daytime, right?" The policeman shuddered, "The ones we caught today are people or..."
Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door of the office, and Team Li and two colleagues walked in with a few strangers.
"This is a colleague from the security department. Today's case is handed over to them." Team Li glanced at the surveillance video that was playing on the computer screen, reached out to turn off the computer, turned around and said to these strangers, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It should be." The people who came over from the security department were very gentle, but they acted very quickly. They took away everything related to this case, including the computer that had released the surveillance video.
After sending off the colleagues from the security department with Team Li, Yao Huailin was feeling sleepy and his mind was a little numb. He followed Team Li to the captain's office in a daze: "Team Li, Shen Changan, is this a daydream?"
"The case has been handed over to the higher-level department, and we should not discuss it at will until the facts of the case are revealed." Team Li is old and has experienced various cases, so he knows what to say and what is not suitable for discussion, "You have been working very hard recently. , go back to rest early tonight."
"After watching that video, I can't sleep." Yao Huailin wiped his face and sat on the chair without any image, "I didn't expect Shen Changan to be so arrogant, not only did he not have bad luck when he encountered a ghost, but he also put people at risk. It was rescued, if this kind of plot was made into a drama, it would be badly criticized by the audience, right?"
"You think too much, there are no ghosts in Chinese film and television dramas." Team Li patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, get off work."
Yao Huailin took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Shen Changan.
Yao Huailin: Shen Changan, you are awesome.
In Yao Huailin's heart, Shen Changan, who was extremely powerful, was riding a shared bicycle at this moment, and there were two followers behind him.
The two talked east and west, and the quarrel made his mind buzzing.
"If you talk nonsense again, I will call the police and say that you are maliciously following me, and you are suspected of robbery." Shen Changan jumped off the bicycle and glared at the two of them, "Don't bother me, I will talk about it tomorrow, okay?"
Seeing that Shen Changan was already on the verge of rage, Wu Wei dared not follow him any more, he whispered, "After I explained to the school that the thesis was yours, I came back and found that you had left the school and did not even attend the graduation ceremony. I don't know if this is my reason, but Changan, please believe me, I really can't do this kind of stealing my brother's paper."
"I know." Shen Changan glanced at Zhang Gu, and Zhang Gu laughed dryly, "Then you two 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 there Note, a tracking spell is placed on him.
After Zhang Gu left, the relationship between Shen Changan and Wu Wei became quiet. Wu Wei scratched his head: "I don't know how to explain it, just a few years ago, I helped a lost child go home, and then I don't know what happened, that child passed away and became a ghost and followed me. He owes me a favor and wants to repay it."
"In the thesis competition, a friend and I boasted that your paper was well written, and that you will definitely win the first place, so I just went to make up the number." Speaking of this, Wu Wei smiled awkwardly, "How do you know this is being secretly spoken of? The kid who followed me heard it, and I don't know what method he used to repackage 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 felt that there was nothing wrong with helping him get the first place. He couldn't reason with a kid who was only six or seven years old, nor could he appropriate other people's achievements for himself with peace of mind, so he had to go to the school to explain.
But when he came out of the school leadership office, he heard from his roommate that Chang An had already packed up and left in a hurry. Over the past year, Chang'an has not contacted anyone, and he could not find any news of him by inquiring around.
This matter has become a big stone in his heart, and he always feels that if he does not explain it clearly, he will not be able to find peace in his heart in this 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 winning the first place. Maybe he felt that he had repaid his favor and was reborn?" The more he talked, the more he felt that this kind of thing was nonsense. The one who repays his gratitude is clearly here to seek revenge from me."
If Wu Wei had used this reason to explain the transfer of papers to him a day ago, Shen Changan would have definitely beaten his head without hesitation, but today he is a little unsure.
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 he just took off.
Sigh, forget it, if you lose it, you lose it.
"Don't sigh." Wu Wei said, "I swear with all the good luck I have in the rest of my life, I will never lie to you." Although his luck in the last year has not been very good.
"I didn't say I didn't believe it, it's just..." Shen Changan shook his head, "It's just that the three views are a little broken."
"It's alright, when I first saw the little ghost, the three views were also broken into pieces. It's good to get used to it." Wu Wei took out his mobile phone, "I thought it was unfortunate to be assigned to work in Wuming City, but I didn't expect it. I will meet you, it seems that my Mercury retrograde is about to end. For the sake of 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 and agreed.
After adding his contact information to Wu Wei, and after listening to a lot of his nagging, Shen Changan finally returned home.
The quiet and empty room finally gave him a space to calm down and think. He was lying on the bed in big letters, and suddenly thought of the old tree outside the office building.
Sun Jia, Miaomiao, ancient trees, playmates...
He rolled over and got out of bed, picked up his phone and keys, and rushed downstairs.
The street light outside the office building of the civil service department was broken, and there was no light in the yard. Shen Changan opened the dilapidated courtyard gate with the key and walked under the huge tree.
As soon as he approached the tree, the leaves rustled, as if being blown up by the wind, and as if he was afraid.
"Come out." Shen Changan stared at the tree for a while, then suddenly made a sound.
The tree did not respond.
"I heard that trees are afraid of salt water, I buy a lot of salt at home, if..."
"It is against the law to harm protected trees." The big tree made a weak voice, but no one appeared.
"It is also against the law to hurt others." Shen Changan said, "Since you understand the laws of human beings, why would you plunder the souls of others because of your own selfish desires, causing the whole family to live in misery? If it wasn't for me accidentally releasing Sun Jia His soul, he will be a fool all his life, and his parents will not worry about him until they die."
"And when he was about to leave, he was still thinking of you, a childhood friend. You said that human beings don't have credibility, but I think that you are a ruthless monster who only thinks about 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 began to shake violently: "What more do you want, because of you, I have lost decades of cultivation, and I can't even transform into a human."
Hearing this, Shen Changan remembered that night, he thought the tree demons and ghosts were things that appeared in dreams, so he beat them hard. It turned out that it was not a dream, it was just that he deceived himself and regarded everything as a dream.
He remembered that he just dragged the green-haired kid over and beat his ass. Why would he say that he lost decades of cultivation
Now even the monsters have followed the talent show and learned crookedly, and started to take the path of selling miserable
"I had known that you were the reincarnation of the tenth-generation meritorious body, and I would rather leave here than provoke you." The big tree was still shaking, "My cultivation base is low, and I finally relied on absorbing Yuehua day and night to incarnate into a human being, how can I do it? Provoking someone like you?" The tree demon's tone was filled with grievance and regret, "With a physique like yours, you don't want to practice Buddhism, but come to deal with uncles and aunts, is your brain abnormal?"
"You hurt others and make the whole family fall into pain. It is God's will to end up like this." Shen Changan was suspicious, what does the tenth life merit body mean? He didn't know how much the tree demon knew, so he pretended to be casual and said, "What's so great about the meritorious body of the tenth generation, the days when you can't eat meat are the most terrifying."
"It's nothing special?!" If the tree demon could turn into a human at this moment, the tree demon would like to jump out and shake Shen Changan's head to see if it contains a brain or water, "The tenth-generation meritorious body is rare in a thousand years, and ghosts and demons are not close. In an age full of spiritual energy, you can cultivate and become an immortal, live forever, and don’t have to go through all the hardships, isn’t this what many people dream of?”
"But now is not the age of spiritual energy, right?" After hearing the tree demon's words, Shen Chang'an was even more puzzled. If he really had the physique of a ghost, why did he do so much with evil ghosts when he was a child? related dreams.
"You have neither cultivated the Dao nor the Buddha, how did you survive before you reached adulthood?" the tree demon asked, "Although the tenth-generation meritorious body is a physique that is invulnerable to all evils, before adulthood, because of the unstable fate, It's the perfect tonic pill for all kinds of big demons and old ghosts. You've seen "Journey to the West", before you became an adult, your spirit was equivalent to Tang monk meat for those evil demons."
"Do you also have a noble person similar to Sun Wukong?"
Shen Changan: "..."
Recalling that he tried every means to fight ghosts in his dreams when he was a child, Shen Changan felt that he might be a mutant version of the martial arts monk of Tang Dynasty.
"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 like this, I'm just chatting, chatting casually." Shen Changan had long been afraid of this tree, he was afraid that the other party would knock him a few more times, and he would even have a spiritual sense. He couldn't keep it, turned into an ordinary tree, and quickly said good things: "I dare to swear to Heaven, I have done this bad thing in my life."
It may be advisable to swear today, this is the second swearing to him.
"You yourself admit that you did something bad?" Shen Changan sneered and took his eyes back, "Make a good transformation. Before you truly make up for your mistakes, don't even think about turning into an adult."
"Wait, brother, boss, uncle, can I call you grandpa..."
Shen Changan ignored the shouts of the tree demon. He strode out of the yard, locked the gate, and looked at the dimly lit street lights on both sides of the road. Suddenly, there was a feeling of loneliness that no one was waiting for him to go home.
Taking out his mobile phone, Shen Changan saw that Yao Huailin sent an inexplicable message, he ignored the object and sent a message to Daonian.
Chang'an: Daonian, 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, just deceived himself, when he was confused, there was someone to ask.
After it was posted, Shen Changan felt that this behavior was a bit ridiculous, and wanted to withdraw the news.
year:
Seeing this simple greeting, Shen Changan suddenly laughed. He didn't retract the message, but quickly replied to Daonian.
Chang An: Someone told me a story just now, and I was moved by it.
Nian: No, don't believe it.
Shen Changan deleted the words "Maybe there really are ghosts in this world" one by one.
Chang An: Well, I don't believe it.
Daonian put away his mobile phone and asked Liu Mao, who was standing in front of him with his head bowed, "I'll go to add another scientific propaganda fund tomorrow."
Liu Mao nodded immediately: "Okay, sir."
On Monday morning, Shen Changan just walked into the office and saw Liu Mao talking and laughing with Director Du and walking out, he stopped to say hello to Liu Mao.
Seeing him appear, Liu Mao was very enthusiastic: "Mr. Shen, good morning, have you had breakfast yet?" Today, Mr. Shen didn't wear glasses and looked quite energetic.
Shen Changan nodded.
Without waiting for Shen Changan to ask, Liu Mao took the initiative to explain his purpose: "Sir thinks that propaganda science cannot rely solely on traditional paper media, but also strengthen online publicity, so I came here today to donate an additional fund to your department on behalf of Mr. ."
"Thank you for your company's support for our work. I will definitely write a report for your enthusiastic spirit of public welfare and report it to the superior." Du Zhonghai felt that his brain might be short-circuited, and he could not remember Liu Mao's boss's surname for a while. What, I have to use "your company" instead, "Please rest assured, we will issue a detailed report on financial expenditures to ensure that every point is used for scientific propaganda."
"I believe in your department, let alone with Mr. Shen here, we are even more at ease." Liu Mao did not forget to show his boss Shen Changan's importance in their hearts, "If it weren't for Mr. Shen, we wouldn't know about your The department has been working silently to promote science all this time.”
"This is what we should do." Liu Mao smiled and said, "Our husband has always advocated science and opposed feudal superstition. It is our honor to be able to contribute to science."
Hearing this, Shen Changan secretly rejoiced, fortunately he didn't tell Daonian last night, maybe there really are ghosts and gods in the world.
For a person who does not believe that there are gods and ghosts in the world, talking about gods and ghosts in front of him is undoubtedly a challenge to the three views.
As friends, you should respect each other's beliefs, such as... Belief in science
At this moment, on a mountain to the north, the monks from all walks of life looked at the foul air surging in the canyon with embarrassed expressions, and the worry in their eyes became more and more intense.
"Master Yanyin, I'm afraid it won't go on like this." An old man in a yellow robe spit out blood, his face sallow, "The seal formation can't last any longer."
They stayed here for a few days, and their spiritual energy was almost exhausted. There was no other way but to hold on.
"It really doesn't work, let's try again and ask God to respect the sky?" Another female Taoist priest in a purple robe walked up to the Taoist priest in yellow robe, "What if it succeeds?"
When everyone heard the words, they all showed a wry smile. In the past hundred years, no one has been able to ask God to worship the sky successfully. With the development of human technology, they gradually understand that the gods have given up the human world, or that human beings no longer need gods.
But when these foul odors overflow, a major plague will break out in the world. Although with the current level of human technology, a useful vaccine may soon be developed, but will these foul odors harm the human body after all
"Try again." The purple-robed Taoist priest opened her tired eyes and looked up at the sky with rolling white clouds, "What if God could hear our prayers?"
"Human beings hurt nature recklessly and endlessly exploit various resources, and have long lost all sense of awe." Master Yan Yin slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were a little tired, "Humans have long abandoned gods, countless gods Disappearing between heaven and earth, which god can we go to invite now?"
"These filth are born from the greed of human beings. What we can do is to reduce the filth as much as possible." Yan Yin sighed deeply, "As long as humans have selfish desires, these filth can't be eliminated forever. But all things in the world, As long as you want to live, you will have selfish desires, which is a cycle of heaven and cannot be solved.”
"Buddha Amitabha, all of you have a vision." Yan Yin closed his eyes and recited 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 long life when they pray to God, but some people show all their ugliness when they pray to God. For example, want your partner to die, for example, let your unaccustomed opponent die for the whole family.
In front of the idol, they no longer conceal their selfish desires, because they know that God is just a clay statue and can never tell their secrets.
But... can God really not hear
Wuming City, at two o'clock in the afternoon on Monday, Shen Changan and Chen Panpan knocked on the family's door. The house exuded a stench that was not cleaned often, and there were a few pairs of shoes scattered around the door.
"Hello, we are the staff of the Civil Service Department and 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, opened the door and let Chen Panpan and Shen Changan enter.
The living room floor was a little sticky, there were few dirty bowls on the coffee table, and there was a layer of greasy dirt on the table, and Shen Changan even smelled a stuffy oily smell.
The middle-aged man saw the work cards of Shen Changan and Chen Panpan, and greeted them to sit down: "I wonder what you two want to ask?"
Shen Changan glanced at the stained sofa, let Chen Panpan sit on the plastic stool next to him, and sat on the dirty sofa, "That's it, I heard that someone in your family is seriously ill, we Come and find out, is there any financial difficulty?"
"Who told you, those nosy old ladies in my wife's family?" The man's face became a little ugly, he got up and closed the door of the room, so that Shen Changan and Chen Panpan could not see the scene in the room clearly, "This A few old ladies usually like to talk nonsense, my wife is not a big problem, she just lost her soul while walking at night, I have invited someone to invite her soul, and it will be better soon."
Shen Changan frowned, then smiled and said, "What is it like to lose a soul, can I take a look?"
"What's so beautiful." The man saw Shen Changan's tender face, as if he had just come out of school and didn't know the world, so he said, "Women are born weak, I told her earlier that any serious woman would go there. Working the night shift, but she doesn't believe it, wouldn't that just bump into something dirty?"
There was not much worry about his wife in the man's tone, but instead a sense of pride that "if you don't listen to me, you will end up suffering".
Chen Panpan was a girl, and when she saw the man like this, she couldn't help frowning.
"So there is still such a statement?" Shen Changan said suddenly, "Then is the eldest sister okay now, should I send it to the hospital first, in case the doctor has a solution?"
"Why waste money on something that can be solved by drinking some Talisman water." The man looked at Shen Chang'an defensively, "You people from the Civil Service Department can't manage other people's family affairs, right?"
Chen Panpan said with a smile, "I can't control it."
"Okay, I still have something to do, please leave." The man lowered his face and opened the door, "Otherwise I'll be rude to you."
He took out his mobile phone and shouted loudly, "Believe it or not, I made a video on the Internet saying that you forcibly broke into the houses and bullied ordinary people?"
"You!" Chen Panpan couldn't bear it any longer, "Your wife is ill, if you don't send it to the hospital, you still have the face to wrong us?"
"She married me, and she is my person. It's my business whether to pay her to see a doctor or not." The man reached out to push Chen Panpan, but Shen Changan reached out and stopped him.
"Sir, you have been preventing us from visiting the eldest sister. I suspect that you are suspected of killing your wife." Shen Changan sneered, "We are relatives of the eldest sister's family. We heard that she was sick, so why not come to visit?"
"Mind your own business." The man pushed Shen Changan, and found that he didn't push, didn't he see that this tall, thin young man was still so strong
These two young people, who said that they were staff members, and said that they were relatives of the ugly woman, clearly came to trouble him on purpose.
The more the man thought about it, the more angry he became, and he raised his fist to hit someone.
Shen Changan pressed the sturdy-looking man to the ground with one hand, and suddenly there was a sound of something falling to the ground from the inner room, and then a weak voice from a woman in the room sounded.
"Help... help..."
Chen Panpan's face changed instantly, she turned to look at Shen Changan.
Shen Changan increased his strength to press 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, fortunately, you proposed to distribute publicity materials to every household, but found that something was wrong with this family." Chen Panpan looked at Shen Changan with admiration, "otherwise, that eldest sister might have been killed by her husband. ."
The author has something to say: Chang'an: How can I prevent Daonian from discovering that there are really ghosts in this world
Daonian: Why did Changan always think that there are no ghosts in the world
