It was just after nine o'clock in the morning on November 17.
Lu Tingnan took a sip of water, and he flipped through an old book in his hand. The name of the book was "Ghost Miscellaneous Records", which recorded many strange things that happened in ancient times.
"Huh? This thing... a bit like it."
He stared at a certain page of the transcript, which recorded an incident, which he felt was a bit similar to what Gu Changjun had encountered.
"Guo..." He just wanted to ask Guo Yan to come over and take a look. When he turned his head and saw that there was no one on the sofa, he remembered that he had gone out early in the morning, and he has been wandering around Tongzhou until now, looking for the trouble that the old man confessed.
Regarding this trouble, the two have been searching for a week, but have not found it.
He picked up the phone and dialed Guo Yan's number.
After two beeps, it was connected.
"Hey, when I was about to call you, you called, what's the matter?" Guo Yan asked.
Lu Tingnan stared at the contents of the miscellaneous record and said: "I found an incident similar to Gu Changjun's system here, but I'm not sure if it is."
"Have you found it?" Guo Yan's tone was unhappy. After speaking, he sighed and said helplessly, "You don't need to worry about this, it's over anyway."
Lu Tingnan was puzzled, "It's over? What do you mean?"
Guo Yan said: "You can understand Gu Changjun's news. I just saw it. I won't tell you for now. I found something here. I will talk about it later when I go back."
"Oh, OK."
Lu Tingnan hung up the phone, picked up the computer on the side, searched for news about Gu Changjun, clicked a random item, and was stunned when he saw the content inside.
"Gu Changjun... is dead?"
He couldn't believe that Gu Changjun was dead. It was only a week before he died
After looking at the death of Gu Changjun, it was found that at 4:30 yesterday afternoon, he died bizarrely after undergoing an operation.
The hospital did not disclose the details of Gu Changjun’s death, but according to insiders inside the hospital, the circumstances of his death were extremely frightening, and his body was as terrifying as a hundred-year-old man at the time of his death.
Others may not believe this kind of news, but think it is a speculation of the media.
But Lu Tingnan knew that Gu Changjun probably used the system again, so he grew old and died of old age.
After reading the news, Lu Tingnan had no thoughts, but felt sorry, after all, it was a human life.
Guo Yan came back an hour later. As soon as he walked in, he cursed and said: "Uncle's, Baozi, let me tell you that I just thought there was something sulky over there, but I went in and took a look. Damn, the two were born in high school. Do it over there! Uncle's, hot eyes!"
"Um." Lu Tingnan was speechless.
Guo Yan drank his mouth, "You know about Gu Changjun, right?"
"Well, he is dead."
Guo Yan said: "Yeah, he died, let him stop using the system, but he didn't listen. By the way, what did you find?"
Lu Tingnan opened the "Ghost Miscellaneous Records" on the side, pointed to a story above and said, "This is what I found. In ancient times, there was a talent who rushed to the exam three times without success, and suddenly it was on the fourth time. Successfully admitted to the champion. But this talent died abruptly not long after winning the champion. His death was so miserable, it was like being sucked up."
Guo Yan frowned, "What does this have to do with Gu Changjun?"
Lu Tingnan went on to say: "The book says that it was a ghost called wish that killed the champion. This wish heard the prayers and desires of the scholar after he rushed for the exam three times, and then helped him get the champion. I don't feel that this wish is a peace. Is the system Gu Changjun got very similar?"
Guo Yan was taken aback for a moment, "So, it was this wish that killed Gu Changjun?"
Lu Tingnan shook his head: "I can't be sure, maybe it is, but it may not be. But with regard to this wish, I feel that it is more like a deformed monster produced by faith."
"What's the meaning?"
Lu Tingnan explained: "In the past, Buddhism and Taoism all emphasized belief. What is the power of belief? In fact, it is people's desire for their own desires. People place their desires on illusory characters, and they naturally develop beliefs. The power of faith. In ancient times, because of the occlusion of information, faith was relatively pure, and the power of faith gathered can indeed bring good things to people."
"But in modern society, people no longer believe in ghosts and gods..."
"So the faith is gone?" Guo Yan interrupted.
Lu Tingnan was not in a hurry, shook his head and said, "No, faith still exists, but the belief in ghosts and gods is not so pure anymore. Few people believe in this kind of thing anymore. However, this does not mean that faith will disappear, it's just that People just transferred what they believed in."
When Guo Yan heard this, he immediately understood, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "You mean, people nowadays believe in... money?"
Lu Tingnan nodded, "Well, that's almost what it means. In fact, it's not just money. People nowadays most believe in money, power, face, and so on."
"For example, Gu Changjun, why was he found by the system? It's because he wants to make more money, he wants the treatment and reputation like a celebrity, and he wants things that ordinary people can't get. I just saw him In the news, after knowing that he had been questioning his ability these days and nights, he was furious, and could only prove his ability with the system again."
"Although he has gained unprecedented fame and reputation, the price is death."
Guo Yan held the cup, looked up at the ceiling, and thought: "You said that, I really remembered one thing. The last time we asked him for help in the hospital, he seemed very unhappy, and seemed to be dissatisfied. I want to quit my job in the hospital."
Lu Tingnan continued on the topic just now and said: "So, just like the ancient scholars who believed in imperial examinations, today's human beings believe in these things. Even if they deny it no matter how much they are, they will still envy the rich in their hearts. Under faith, some deformed monsters will naturally emerge, and this system is probably one of them."
"It's terrible." Guo Yan shook his head.
"But this is just my guess, and I am not sure if it is the case."
Guo Yan sighed, "Sure enough, money is really omnipotent, but poverty limits our imagination."
Lu listened to Nan with a wry smile, and had no idea about it.
In order to preserve his reputation, Gu Chang took a risk, and ended up taking his life away.
This world is indeed a bit scary.
If there are more strange and terrible things like the system, the whole world will probably be messed up.
…
Hospital, five o'clock in the afternoon.
The dean is fifty-three years old this year, but he is still active on the operating table.
Gu Changjun's death made him suffer a bit serious, and the circumstances of Gu Changjun's death also frightened him.
Now that it was time for get off work, he didn't bother to think about other things. He left the hospital and arrived in the car. Before starting the car, a strange window suddenly popped out of his eyes with a sentence on it.
"The capital system serves you."
