Chapter 87 The Day the World Stopped

In the room where both the ceiling and the four walls were painted black, 24 once again entered a daze.

Zhong Luochen remained silent and even closed his eyes.

This is the skill of sitting quietly and cultivating Qi. I learned it from a Chinese traditional culture master in my early years. But at that time, it was naturally not to gain extraordinary power, but to simply cultivate the mind and nature.

Zhong Luochen has always felt that his family background only gave him a relatively high starting point. If he could not absorb all the advantages brought by this starting point, a child from a wealthy family like him would easily fall off the high platform. Once he fell, he would be Shattered to pieces.

He still can't achieve the state of sitting for a whole day like practicing Zen, but he can still calm down the chaotic thoughts... and because his heart has been deprived of too many emotions, he can do it even more now than before. Better.

Finally, Zhong Luochen opened his eyes.

24 failed again and again from his attempts and turned around - or maybe he felt Zhong Luochen's current state.

"Do people really have souls?" Zhong Luochen's voice was filled with curiosity and his eyes were bright. "What is a soul? A component of the body? Or is it simply the cellular activity of neurons in the brain?"

24 pondered for a moment, but was quite surprised by Zhong Luochen's question at this time.

He slowly said: "There are many theories about the soul, and different people have different understandings. Even I have not fully understood the mystery of the soul. Completely knowing all the secrets of the soul is the level of the Creator. "

"Mr. 24 doesn't know either?" Zhong Luochen frowned.

24 said calmly: "I'm just saying that everyone has different perceptions. Some people think that the soul is a thought, some people think that the soul is a mark, and some even think that the soul is part of the will of the entire world... I am more inclined to this statement. "

Zhong Luochen said: "Then let's talk about this view that Mr. is inclined to."

24 thought for a while and then said: "I once visited a world that was in ruins. They followed a path called science. In this world, a new world will was artificially created."

Zhong Luochen listened quietly, without any intention of interrupting, and just wrote down every word.

"They built a machine that gathered everyone's thoughts together in an instant, forming a huge consciousness. When this consciousness was born, it almost possessed the ability of a creator, completely different from Less than the will of the world...even the two wills began to fight in the most primitive way, eventually destroying the entire civilization. In the end, the will of the world defeated the collection of consciousness and then swallowed it."

24 was silent for a long time, "The will of the world that has swallowed up the collection of consciousness is unprecedentedly powerful, and its exclusivity is unprecedentedly strong. For us explorers, it is an absolute forbidden zone."

Explorer... off limits.

Zhong Luochen still writes these down.

"Although the will of the world has become unprecedentedly powerful, I have a feeling that this is how it should be."

24 mused, "I have been peeking at this ruined world through the cracks, until a new civilization began to appear in this world... Human beings began to appear, and the will of the world also began to weaken. As humans continued to multiply, the will of the world finally returned to its original state. The level before the collective consciousness fights.”

Zhong Luochen grasped the key point, "Mr. 24 is saying that the will of the world split itself, cultivated civilization, and eventually swallowed it back?"

24 yawned and said: "I didn't say that... In the final analysis, this is just a guess that is not yet true. After all, I have only encountered this situation once, so there is no way to use it as a reference."

Zhong Luochen thought deeply and then said: "According to what Mr. Wang said, the soul...is equal to human consciousness."

"Or just part of it." 24 smiled and said: "But if this is the view, it means that whether it is extraordinary power or scientific power, the source comes from the will of the world... You Do you feel conflicted?"

"It already exists before it has developed. If it develops further, it will only reach the level it should be..." Zhong Luochen frowned deeper, seeming to be talking to himself, "It feels like a set script, and then once Another rehearsal...is it to verify something or to observe something..."

24 looked at Zhong Luochen for a while, and then lowered his eyelids slightly, as if he was extremely sleepy... but his heart was far from such peace.

He was very aware of Zhong Luochen's state. He was just an ordinary person, and he was still a mortal with a missing soul. But such a mortal with a missing soul could actually deduce a question that he had been thinking about for a long time from his own words. .

Of course, there must be inspiration from what he discovered, but being able to understand the contradictions in an extreme period of time and get to the core of the problem is already an amazing achievement for a mortal.

Suddenly, Zhong Luochen asked: "Is your so-called soul transformation technology based on this point of view?"

24's lowered eyes opened slightly, "Why do you say that?"

Zhong Luochen seemed to be in a state of questioning and answering himself, "Assuming that human beings have received part of the power from the so-called world will from the beginning, then in theory everyone has the possibility to use this power... You said However, your spell is the talent of your soul and cannot be learned by others, but you also said that I can obtain this power through soul transformation... Since it is a talent, it is naturally unique, but it can be obtained through transformation, so It will be said that everyone has the so-called talent, some are dominant, some are recessive, the talent can be different, but it can be adjusted through transformation...the adjustment becomes dominant, and the adjustment behavior is similar. But all of this The premise is that...the core of everyone's soul is at least similar, or...common. Similar, common, and can be explained in reverse, it comes from the same source."

I always feel that all my old assets will be easily wiped out by this new boss... Are all the people in this world so smart...

"So you think that the risk of this kind of soul transformation is actually very small, and I'm just perfunctory with you, right?" 24 smiled half-heartedly.

Zhong Luochen shook his head: "This is just my guess, and these guesses come from the information you revealed. I'm not arrogant enough to think that I am right. But... I hope to test it."

"oh?"

Zhong Luochen looked at 24 and already had an idea in his mind. He said calmly: "Since Sir can transform the soul, let's try it... I can find the subject for the experiment for Sir."

24 showed an interesting smile: "Wait until enough test subjects come out and the success rate is ensured before you plan to end it yourself... Boss, I found that you are actually a cold-blooded person by nature."

Zhong Luochen said slowly: "I will start preparing for the selection... Then, I won't disturb your husband's rest."

Zhong Luochen walked very decisively. It was not until the door of the room was closed and the place fell into darkness that 24's voice slowly sounded, "What a good soul this soul is. Who is so wicked as to cut it apart..."

…

…

After coming out of Ren Ziling's magazine, Leng Feng and Wang Yuegang said a few words and then separated.

The main purpose of Leng Feng's return this time was to meet his old friends and leaders, so in the following time, Leng Feng visited several families.

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon that Leng Feng called Luo Qiu - the call came during dinner last night.

"Are you interested in going hiking with me?"

After coming out of the home of the last old leader he visited, Leng Feng made a phone call to Luo Qiu.

…

Luo Qiu didn't have a deep impression of Uncle Leng Feng, but he knew that some people just met each other and didn't care how long they met.

His father did have many friends, but to Luo Qiu in the past, there were only a few who were truly close to him.

Of course, if Luo Qiu can give people something like goodwill, others can also give it to him.

This is probably what is called correspondence.

Luoxia Mountain, a scenic spot in this city that locals have gone to to vomit... On the trail climbed up, Leng Feng walked happily while saying these sighing things.

"Nowadays, few young people are willing to go out to climb mountains." Leng Feng said with a smile: "Life is too rich. Mountain climbing may not be as fun as games for young people."

Luo Qiu took a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it over.

Leng Feng moistened his throat, and the two stopped halfway up the mountain, sitting where the wind blew.

He pointed to a large gray area in front of him and said enthusiastically: "I used to train there, but then the base was withdrawn, and I was assigned to another place... Well, this is the location. But I heard that next year, this place will be It will also be demolished, and I heard that a new airport will be built.”

Leng Feng pointed at the city at the foot of the mountain, somewhat like pointing out the country and its vicissitudes of life.

As he spoke, Leng Feng gradually stopped talking and looked at the city at the foot of the mountain silently.

After a while, Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Luo Qiu, and suddenly said funny: "You kid, it's strange to say that when I look at you, it's always easy to want to say something... that you're not here. Well, you are obviously here, let’s just say you are here, it feels like you are talking to the air. You and your dad are really different.”

Luo Qiu couldn't say anything...probably because of his physical condition.

Leng Feng shook his head again, "I still like young people to be energetic. At your age, you shouldn't be like this. My child, don't blame me for talking too much. I have seen too many young people. There are hundreds of newcomers arriving in the camp every year. There are more than Although you are younger, there are also those older than you. Some are crazy, some have a bad temper, some are timid, and some are silent. I don’t talk about the appearance of all living beings, but all kinds of life situations are really common... Are you worried about something? Is it about Zi Ling?"

Luo Qiu was startled... When he saw Leng Feng this time, he was indeed in a relatively confused state.

He didn't intend to treat Leng Feng like a guest, but at the same time, he couldn't treat him like Ma Houde or Ye Yan... Leng Feng was in a position where Luo Qiu met him for the first time.

They were somewhat close, but there was always something missing in essence... But Leng Feng's sudden question interrupted Luo Qiu's thoughts.

"Why do you say that?" Luo Qiu asked curiously.

Leng Feng should be a very cheerful person, but he was a little hesitant at this time... But hesitation is really not his character, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said directly: "How should I put it? A few years ago, you were a child and the youngest. It's hard for me to say anything when you need care... But now you are an adult and have your own ideas. So, what do you think of Zi Ling? You no longer need her supervision, and she is still so young, Your relationship... I think you should be aware of it, right?"

Suddenly, Luo Qiu finally knew the reason why he couldn't locate Leng Feng.

There was silence for a while.

Luo Qiu looked at Leng Feng and smiled. It was the boss's voice, "Mr. Leng, you once liked her, right?"

Leng Feng's eyes were slightly confused. He was used to seeing life and death, and he could suppress thousands of new recruits with his momentum. At this moment, he felt like he didn't dare to look directly at the young man in front of him... Because of Luo Qiu's sudden tone at this time, he felt a little... Slightly angry.

After all, he was not really angry. Leng Feng gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "You kid, if you don't add the word "once", I'm afraid I will beat you up."

Luo Qiuxian became even quieter.

Leng Feng was afraid of Luo Qiu's shoulder and looked down the mountain, "I have a wife and children, and our relationship is very good. I don't think about so many things as you. Just as an old friend, I really don't want to see her like this all the time. Go down. Do you still remember what you said to me when we went to the cemetery yesterday?"

Luo Qiu nodded.

"She still hasn't given up." Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "This is a good woman. Either she won't be emotional, or she will be there forever."

Luo Qiu remained silent.

Leng Feng said: "Are you willing to watch her secretly cry a few times every year?"

"In the past year, I haven't been able to find what I want to do." Luo Qiu did not look at Leng Feng, but looked at Shanxia, ​​"I feel like I have been searching, looking for ways not to be robbed of my emotions... …But I could never find the real reason driving this behavior. And in the process of searching, maybe I was already doing it subconsciously.”

Leng Feng frowned. He had no intention of arguing with Luo Qiu today, just to confirm something... He knew that Mahou De and several others had a good relationship with the Luo Qiu family, and some things were not convenient to raise in person.

It takes someone, not very close, but also someone who cares about the family, to expose this matter in person... The whole person probably needs him to do it.

He was a little unsure about the purpose of what Luo Qiu said at this time, but subconsciously asked: "What... do you want to do?"

"Find a world where both possibilities exist at the same time and are not contradictory."

Time stops at this moment.

A real pause.

The earth came to a standstill.

Everything, all thought activities, sea water, earth, wind, sports cars on the ground, trains, countless shipping routes, people eating or talking...even the maid in the club who is wiping the cup.

These are clearly displayed in Luo Qiu's perception.

Maybe just for a second.

Maybe a minute.

Maybe a long time has passed.

Another power different from the altar, like a seed, suddenly sprouted in Luo Qiu's body...

…

The mountain wind suddenly blew, and Leng Feng shivered suddenly, feeling as if he had been distracted for a long time.

He subconsciously glanced at Luo Qiu beside him and found that he was holding his mobile phone and taking pictures of the city below the mountain.

There were some things he actually wanted to say, and that was about Ren Ziling's future issues... But when it came to his lips, he couldn't say it... Maybe he could wait a few years to talk about it.

He thought so.

"Go back." Leng Feng stood up, "I booked a flight for tonight and will leave later."

This was actually two or three days earlier than planned... But because of the appearance of the poisonous snake, Leng Feng had to end his vacation early and needed to return to the capital as soon as possible to deal with the potential threat to the Zhao family.
