Fangzheng shook his head and said, "It's not this kind of sadness, but a kind of despair. It's a pain of impending death, as well as a longing for their deceased loved ones. This feeling is becoming clearer and clearer … I can sense that they are really in despair. "
The more Zhu Lin heard, the more puzzled she became. She scratched her head and said, "This … Master, I really don't understand. Then … Then how can we help them? Let them out? But these little guys belong to the Dream Hall. We have no right to take them away. Besides, it's a world of ice and snow outside. If they go out, they will really be sending themselves to their deaths. "
Fangzheng shook his head and said, "I don't know either. They are panicking."
Just as he said that, someone raised his cell phone. With a click, a flash lit up. Following that, the man chuckled and said, "I took a picture to see the effect. It doesn't look good. Let's take a few more pictures and post them on WeChat Moments. Heh heh … "
"Don't take pictures! Don't use the flash! "At that moment, the female attendant at the door shouted.
However, the person continued taking pictures as though he did not hear her.
The female attendant continued shouting, "Everyone, please cooperate. Don't use the flash."
"It's so dark here. If we don't use the flash, we won't be able to take any pictures," a woman complained. Following that, she took two pictures.
With her taking the lead, the others followed suit. They switched on their flashes and took pictures. Instantly, there were flashes everywhere …
Zhu Lin frowned and said, "Aren't these people too unruly?"
Fangzheng's frown deepened. Just as everyone switched on their flashes to take pictures, Fangzheng clearly sensed that the fireflies' panic intensified. Could it be that they were afraid of the flash?
However, the number of fireflies in front of him increased, and there were no adverse reactions. What was going on?
At that moment, Squirrel said, "Master, I saw many fireflies fall into the grass."
When Fangzheng heard that, he hurriedly focused and observed carefully. In the pitch-black room, he could not see much. There were only fluorescent lights and flashes. The fluorescent lights were dim, and the flashes only lasted for a moment. It was not suitable for illumination or observation. Instead, it easily affected one's observation.
However, Fangzheng still saw it. He saw a firefly fall from the sky and land on the grass. It flapped its wings and there was no movement. It seemed to be unable to fly.
Was it tired?
Fangzheng was puzzled.
At that moment, Fangzheng saw a tiny hole at the back of the house. Fireflies were constantly being released from the tiny hole. Fangzheng was enlightened as he mumbled, "It's no wonder there are more and more fireflies. It's not that the original fireflies are flying up, but that more fireflies are being released. The more you let in, the less you let in, the more you let in, the more you let in, the better it looks. "
Squirrel said, "Master, why do I feel that these fireflies are becoming more and more alarmed?"
Fangzheng nodded as well. He circled around the crowd and came to the door. He asked the anxious and helpless attendant, "Why didn't you switch on the flash?"
The attendant said, "This is the rule. These fireflies are very fragile. Flashing lights can easily kill them."
"Kill them?" Fangzheng finally understood why the fireflies were panicking. They weren't there to perform, but to be executed! No wonder they were afraid. Who wouldn't be?
The waiter said, "Yes, we release tens of thousands of fireflies every day, and only a few hundred survive a day. Sigh …"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng's heart ached again. He said angrily, "So many die every day. Why do we continue?"
The waiter was shocked by Fangzheng's words. Then, he said, "How would I know? I'm just a worker. I do whatever the higher-ups arrange for me."
When Fangzheng heard that, he knew that he had lost his temper. He said, "Sorry, I was a little agitated."
Zhu Lin clicked her tongue and said, "My freaks, tens of thousands a day, and only a few hundred die. This … is basically a 99% death rate! This … is basically hell for fireflies! "
Squirrel added, "It looks like I was right. This isn't a dream space. This is a morgue for fireflies."
"Everyone, please don't switch on the flash anymore. The flash will kill the fireflies," Zhu Lin snapped to her senses and shouted.
When everyone heard that, they turned to look at Zhu Lin with puzzled expressions.
The man who was the first to switch on the flash said, "How is that possible? This is light, not bullets. "
The attendant said, "Sir, it's true. These flashes are like bullets to fireflies. "
Another long-haired woman curled her lips and said, "You merchants are afraid that we will take photos and show them to others. After that, there will be fewer customers, right? If I had to say, you guys really don't know how to do business. If we take photos and post them on our WeChat Moments, more people will come. "
"That's right. You guys really don't know how to do business," the others echoed.
The attendant turned anxious. "I'm serious. Fireflies are really afraid of flashes."
"You say they're afraid? Then let me try. Everyone, let's see if any fireflies are killed! "the long-haired woman shouted.
"Alright, let's watch," the others said.
Just as the long-haired woman was about to take action, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the woman's arm. "Patron, isn't it too cruel to use lives as an experiment?"
"You …" The long-haired woman was about to flare up when she turned her head and saw a bald monk in a white monk robe looking at her with a serious expression.
She was immediately stunned. This was Black Mountain City. Here, Fangzheng was definitely a well-known figure. Many people might not recognize high-ranking officials, but Fangzheng basically knew them all.
Therefore, the woman exclaimed, "Abbot Fangzheng!?"
With her shout, the others snapped to their senses and looked at Fangzheng.
At this point, Fangzheng also knew that it was meaningless to hide his identity. He needed his identity to help him be more persuasive.
Seeing everyone exclaim, Fangzheng pressed his palms together and said, "Amitabha. Patrons, what Patron Zhu Lin said is true. If you don't believe me, why use fireflies as an experiment? All of you have cell phones. Won't there be an answer if you go out and check on the Internet? "
"Abbot Fangzheng, there's no need to check. I don't believe what others say, but I believe what you say." The woman immediately made a 180-degree turn and was the first to stand on Fangzheng's side.
"I believe it too. Let's not take any photos." The man who was the first to take the photo also put away his cell phone.
"I really didn't expect a small flash to be able to kill fireflies …" someone mumbled before putting away his cell phone.
At that moment, a child shouted, "Daddy, I saw a firefly fall down. It's not moving."
When the man heard that, he squatted down and looked in the direction the child was pointing at. When he saw it, the man's heart trembled. He said with a tremble, "Everyone, look!"
Everyone squatted down to take a look. When they saw it, everyone drew a cold gasp!
