Chapter 393 God is dead

  Chapter 393

   “Come in.”

  Lin Mingyuan stepped away from the door.

   “I thought you were still mad at me, brother.”

  Meng Zheng smiled, no longer hesitated, and strode in.

   “As you said, it’s pointless to be angry.” Lin Mingyuan closed the door of the basement and said casually, “Besides, your visit this time did remind me of one thing.”

“Oh?”

   “About something, I’m always hesitant about the serious consequences it could have, but it’s here, and doing it is better than not doing it well.”

   “Isn’t the purpose of senior brother to help your daughter get rid of that supernatural evil control?”

   “No, my real purpose has already been said.”

   “Senior brother… Are you serious about what you said? Haha, that feeling is good, that’s great.”

   Meng Zheng was obviously happier. However, in Lin Mingyuan’s eyes, while this person had a strong interest in his topic, deep in his eyes, he was obviously wary.

   Both of these mental states are real. In other words, a man who frantically pursues unrealistic fantasies while being cold and cunningly wary of similar topics.

   This contradiction is reflected in every aspect of his life: his relationship with his teacher, for example.

Lin Mingyuan knew very well what the **** media did. He knew that if the former president of the Stargazing Club sent Meng Zheng to investigate the Jianfeng Laboratory, it was considered “important”, then he would send Meng Zheng to China without explaining it. Any important task can only prove that Meng Zheng has been abandoned.

   The president of the Star Watching Society is a qualified high-ranking person. The reason for such a change in attitude proves that in his eyes, Meng Zheng has lost his usefulness. This obviously has nothing to do with the level of ability, but because Meng Zheng is no longer loyal or fanatical to him.

  According to Meng Zheng’s own words, he managed to get into the position of the student of the president of the Star Watching Club, but now he has given up so easily——

  …Alright.

   This type of person will always only believe what he sees, and once he sees it, he will believe it, and this is the most suitable person.

  Lin Mingyuan retorted unhurriedly:

   “If it’s just to solve my daughter’s problems, it can be based on your experience.”

   “What? But I was accidental…”

“That’s right, the ‘Kuroshio’ chasing Xingjie happened to bump into the ‘Blood Sea’ who was eyeing you, and the stronger one wins, but don’t you think this coincidence can be replicated? Just find A medium strong enough to do something similar.”

  Lin Mingyuan shook his head.

   “I’m different from you. During that time in Jianfeng Lab, I met several friends who can be trusted. Unlike you, who is nominally a teacher and a student, he is not even willing to help.”

   “…I didn’t tell him the truth.”

   Meng Zheng subconsciously denied it, but he soon shook his head with a wry smile.

   “You’re right, the teacher has indeed given up on me. However, I think the real difference between me and my brother is that I lack leverage.”

   “Yes, as long as I am willing to publish all the results during the stargazing meeting for trading, it is not difficult to ask the domestic person to help me once. Or do you think even the **** media can’t solve the problem of my daughter?”

   “That’s impossible. No matter how powerful the evil spirits are, they can’t be the match of the divine mediator…”

   The youth nodded, the interest and smile in his eyes became more intense.

   “Okay, I understand what you mean, brother. But specifically, what are you going to do? When you say ‘save the world’, are you referring to the ‘doomsday prophecy’?”

   In 1999, the world will come to an end. This news is not only spread among ordinary people, but also has great influence in the world of psychics.

Of course, what they listened to was not the so-called “Nostradamus prophecy” handed down from the Middle Ages to the present, but the predictions made by modern psychic mediums who have a reputation for “prophecy” all over the world, including the astronomical meeting. The last observation of the predecessor of the “Remote Active Antarctic Research Station” before its disbandment.

  The countries that set up the research station have not announced the content of this result, but things about it are well known in the world of psychics.

   “That’s right.”

   “Brother, do you believe that prophecy is true?”

“No, the prophecy may not be accurate. I am mainly skeptical about the specific time. But today’s human beings are indeed facing supernatural threats from far away. At least ten years, as many as decades, hundreds of years, we will sooner or later. You have to face it all.”

  Lin Mingyuan’s face was calm.

   “You should know the direct reason why the ‘Star Gazing Club’ was disbanded by various countries at that time?”

   Meng is trying hard to recall the information he got from others in the past.

   “…It seems to be because the ‘star’ they want to observe is missing?”

“Well. The celestial body observed by the research station in the South Pole is called ‘Tai Sui’ in domestic academic terms. The apparent magnitude of this star can reach -1.9 to -3.37, and the maximum distance from the sun is 47.8°. Perihelion 0.73800 AU, aphelion 0.749213 AU…”

  Lin Mingyuan is a treasure.

“It can almost be regarded as a planet in the solar system. Regardless of its orbit, brightness, and distance from the earth, it can be measured. It is no different from ordinary solar system planets. The closest terrestrial planet to it is probably Venus, because of its rotation. The direction and the rotation direction are not consistent. The only problem is that it is difficult for people to observe accurate rotation data of this celestial body.”

   “The ‘Nine Planets’… No, is it the ‘Big Ten’?”

   Meng Zheng said half-jokingly.

“Yes, the ‘tenth planet’ in the solar system, but it has not existed since ancient times, but has been observed since the intensification of distant activities nearly a hundred years ago. What is really special about it is that, It is very likely that the Tai Sui stars that we can observe with instruments or with the naked eye do not really exist in the physical universe, but are some kind of… ‘projections’.”

  Lin Mingyuan pulled out the dirty documents that were on the corner of the table and threw them on the table, causing a puff of dust. Meng Zheng didn’t care, and looked at the files and black and white photos inside with great interest.

   “More than one psychic has witnessed the existence of the ‘Tai Sui Xing’ in the haunted house. This is the only celestial object observed in ‘that world’ so far.”

“That is to say, ‘Tai Sui Xing’ exists in the real world and in the distant world at the same time?” Meng Zheng looked at the blurred celestial objects in the photo, and thoughtfully, “Does this mean that there is a kind of celestial body that can stably observe the distant world? the way to the interior landscape?”

   Anyone with psychic abilities has the opportunity to see another world, especially after invading the haunted house.

   But the problem is that this kind of opportunity is completely uncontrollable, and humans have so far not been able to make any map that can describe a “certain area” inside the Far Lands, and that’s the problem.

“Your brain is moving quite fast. Yes, this is the origin of the ‘stargazing meeting’. Later, there was a speculation that was popularized by mainstream scientists at the time, and the historical status of this observatory was promoted to a ‘one-of-a-kind’ ‘Degree–”

   “They believe that the main body of the malefic star Tai Sui is actually a channel connecting the distant realm and reality, or in other words, it is a phenomenon produced by the friction between the boundaries of the two.”

   “…until this star disappears?”

“More precisely, it wasn’t disappearing, it was transforming. Its appearance changed from a normal celestial body to a dark ‘hole’, like a star collapsing into a black hole – it is said that the scene at the time was spectacular, but unfortunately I There is no relevant video material, only some psychics who were fortunate enough to observe the ‘Tai Sui Star Disappearance Incident’, and the audio data left after interviewing them.”

   “Can you show me?”

   “Let’s listen together. I haven’t watched it in a while.”

   said, Lin Mingyuan took out a radio and put it on the table.

  *

   “Shasha…shasha…”

   The noise of rewinding from the radio echoed in the silent room.

  The clock hanging on the wall, the hands on the dial point to three in the morning unconsciously.

   Meng Zheng’s eye circles were darkened, and the surface of his eyeballs were covered with bloodshots. However, there was no trace of fatigue in his expression, instead there was a strange excitement.

   He and Lin Mingyuan listened to the audio recordings for several hours, and turned over all the relevant documents collected in the basement. The excitement in their hearts was beyond words.

“The black hole left behind after the disappearance of ‘Tai Sui Xing’, some people in China call it ‘Shen Sha Kongde’. It is similar to ‘Tai Sui Xing’ in that ‘Shen Sha Kongde’ can also exist in two worlds Simultaneous. The difference is that it doesn’t last long.”

“Since the first occurrence of the phenomenon of ‘Shen Shakong’s death’, the occurrence probability of haunted houses around the world and the expansion of psychic teams in various countries have shown an exponential growth trend. Although the communication between the real world and the distant realm is Since the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the situation has never been so intense.”

“…Six years ago, the third phenomenon of ‘Shen Shakong’s death’ occurred in Tianhai City, and the whole city was shrouded by a total solar eclipse. During the eight and a half hours that the total solar eclipse lasted, the Nin God-level codenamed [Horse Mother] The evil spirits invaded Tianhai City, causing huge economic losses and casualties, and were finally expelled back to the distant realm under the joint efforts of [Yan Wang] and [Tiantong]…”

  Meng Zheng put down the document in his hand and murmured softly.

“I was in Tianhai City when the ‘Hive Mother Invasion’ occurred. At that time, I was a student, and a countermeasure meeting that focused on supernatural defense forces from all over the country was held at my school. I participated in the meeting by coincidence at that time… …So, I was very impressed by this incident.”

   “Oh, there is such a thing?”

“That was the first time I witnessed the destructive collision between supernatural forces, and human beings had absolutely no resistance in front of them. That is, from then on, I made up my mind to go to that world. Thinking that the world of psychics is more unfair than reality, all aptitudes are determined from birth…”

   Meng Zheng shook his head and brought the topic back.

“…There are so many materials left, and a preliminary guess can be drawn.” He took a deep breath and slowly came to his own conclusion, “‘Tai Sui Xing’ is not a passage between two worlds; in fact, until After it disappears and becomes ‘Shen Sha Kongxing’, the passage between the two worlds is really opened.”

   “Yeah, it’s not difficult to come to that conclusion.”

   “In that case…”

   Meng Zheng frowned.

   “The situation is obviously getting more tense, right? Why was the ‘Distant Observatory’, the predecessor of the Stargazing Society, cancelled? Shouldn’t it be more important?”

   “Looking back at the history of mankind, when countries are in a tense period when a large-scale war is imminent, will they choose to join hands to maintain peace, or uphold isolationism? Don’t those heads of government know that the world was on a powder mountain at that time?”

   “…Isn’t it different?” The lines on Meng Zheng’s eyebrows became deeper, “The threat we encounter is a supernatural force from another world, and this will be a good opportunity for mankind to defend against foreign enemies.”

“Then how many people do you think will take the ‘doomsday prophecy’ seriously; among those who do, how many will take it to heart? If you were told that the world would be destroyed in the past year, you might be desperate Try to find a way to save yourself…” After a series of questions, Lin Mingyuan said with a red face and dry mouth, “But what if the time limit is fifty years, a hundred years, or a specific time that cannot be accurately predicted at all? Is it the same thing?”

   Meng Zheng stared at Lin Mingyuan, who was talking eloquently and in an impassioned tone, as if it was the first time he knew him.

   When Lin Mingyuan’s words came to an end and he was drinking water to moisten his throat, the young man expressed his approval.

“Actually, my brother thinks the same as me. Almost all people in this world are short-sighted. Even those elites who are intelligent and lead the society can often only see the present; those who are truly far-sighted are easily dismissed. Treat it like a lunatic.”

   Meng Zheng’s eyes were bright.

   “So, Senior Brother is trying to get in front of everyone and come up with a solution to the problem?”

   “At least in the future, if we encounter an incident of the level of ‘Hive Mother Invasion’ again, we should not be powerless to deal with it.”

   “What should we do? At present, among human beings, the only ones who can fight against the god-level evil spirits are the **** media of the same level…”

  ”——’Artificially created medium’.”

   Lin Mingyuan answered decisively.

   “As long as the experiment can be successfully completed, proceed to the last step, and successfully find a way to establish a connection between humans and evil spirits, even a **** can be transformed into a force that can be manipulated by humans.”

   After the man dropped these words, he ignored Meng Zheng’s reaction. He got up from his chair and walked to the door in the basement.

  The rusted iron door, the color is almost integrated with the wall, and the edge outline cannot be seen.

   He unlocked the rusted door lock with the key, grabbed the door frame with both hands, and pulled the door open a little bit towards the outside with great difficulty. With the sound of “Ka Ka”, the lime on the wall rustled, and a gloomy wind surged up from the door, blowing the dim and yellow halo in the basement to sway.

  The door in the basement leads to a deeper underground.

   “—and my daughter will be the first successful case in human history.”
