Whether it was the ceiling or the four walls, they were all painted black in the room. 24 was once again in a daze.
Zhong Luochen did not speak, he even closed his eyes.
This was the skill of meditating. He learned it from a Chinese scholar in his early years. However, at that time, it was not to obtain extraordinary power, but to cultivate his mind.
Zhong Luochen had always felt that his family background only gave him a relatively high starting point. If he was unable to digest all the advantages brought by this starting point, a child of a wealthy family like him would easily fall from the high platform. Once he fell, he would be smashed to pieces.
He still couldn't achieve the state of meditating and meditating for an entire day, but he was still able to calm his chaotic thoughts … and because he had already stripped too many emotions from his heart, he was able to do it even better than before.
Finally, Zhong Luochen opened his eyes.
24 failed again and again. He turned around. Or maybe, he felt Zhong Luochen's current state.
"Do people really have souls?" Zhong Luochen's voice was filled with curiosity. "What is a soul? A part of the body? Or is it simply the activity of the brain's neurons? "
24 pondered for a moment. He was quite surprised by Zhong Luochen's question.
He slowly said, "There are many theories about the soul. Different people have different perceptions. Even I have not completely understood the mystery of the soul. Completely knowing all the secrets of the soul is already at the level of the creator. "
"Mister 24, you don't know?" Zhong Luochen frowned.
24 said indifferently, "I am 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, some even think that the soul is a part of the will of the world … I am more inclined to this view. "
Zhong Luochen said, "Then tell me about the view that mister is inclined to."
24 thought for a while and said, "I have been to a world that has already become a ruin. They walked a path called science. In this world, they created a new will of the world. "
Zhong Luochen listened quietly. He did not intend to interrupt. He just memorized every word.
"They made a machine. In an instant, everyone's thoughts were gathered together to form a huge consciousness. In the instant that consciousness was born, it almost possessed the ability of a Creator, not at all inferior to World Wills … and the two wills even began to engage in the most primitive of slaughter, ultimately destroying the entire civilization. In the end, the will of the world defeated the collective consciousness and swallowed it. "
24 was silent for a long time. "The Will of the World that has devoured the collective consciousness is unprecedentedly powerful, and its exclusivity is unprecedentedly strong. For explorers like us, it is an absolute forbidden zone."
Explorers … were forbidden areas.
Zhong Luochen still remembered this.
"Even though the Will of the World has become unprecedentedly powerful, I have a feeling that this is its original state."
24 muttered, "I have been spying on this ruined world through the cracks until a new civilization began to appear in this world … Humans began to appear, and the will of the world began to weaken. As the humans continued to reproduce, the will of the world finally returned to the level before it fought with the collective consciousness."
Zhong Luochen grasped the key point. "Mr. 24, are you saying that the will of the world split itself, cultivated a civilization, and finally swallowed it back?"
24 yawned and said, "I didn't say that … In the end, this is just a guess that hasn't been proven yet. After all, I have only encountered this situation once, and there is no way to use it as a reference. "
Zhong Luochen pondered and said, "According to what you said, the soul … is equivalent to human consciousness."
"Or just a part of it." 24 smiled and said, "But if this is the point of view, it is equivalent to saying that whether it is extraordinary power or scientific power, the source comes from the will of the world … Do you think it is contradictory?"
"It already exists before it has developed, and no matter how it develops, it will only reach the level that it should have …" Zhong Luochen's brows furrowed deeper, and he seemed to be talking to himself. "It feels like a predetermined script, and then it is rehearsed again and again … Is it to verify something or to observe something …"
24 suddenly looked at Zhong Luochen deeply for a while, and then lowered his eyelids slightly, as if he was extremely sleepy … but his heart was far from being so calm.
He was very clear about Zhong Luochen's state. He was just a normal person, and a normal person with a missing soul — but such a normal person with a missing soul was actually able to deduce a problem that he had been pondering over for a long time from his words.
Of course, there must be something that he discovered as inspiration, but to be able to understand the contradiction in an extremely short period of time and go straight to the core of the problem was already a great achievement for a mortal.
Suddenly, Zhong Luochen asked, "Sir, is the so-called soul modification technology based on this point of view?"
24's drooping eyelids opened slightly. "Why do you say so?"
Zhong Luochen seemed to be in a state of answering his own question. "Assuming that human beings have already received part of the power from the so-called will of the world from the beginning, then theoretically, everyone has the possibility of using this power … You said that your spell is the talent of your soul, and others can't learn it, but you also said that I can obtain this power through soul modification … Since it is a talent, it is naturally unique, but it can be obtained through soul modification, which means that everyone has the so-called talent. Some are dominant, some are recessive, and the talents can be different, but they can be adjusted through the means of soul modification … The adjustment becomes dominant, and the adjustment behavior is similar. But the premise of all this is that the core of everyone's soul is at least similar, or … common. Similar, common, and can be reversed to show that they come from the same source. "
He always felt that his old foundation would be easily taken away by this new boss … Are the people in this sub-world so smart?
"So you think that the risk of soul modification is actually very small, and that I am just being perfunctory, right?" 24 smiled faintly.
Zhong Luochen shook his head. "This is just my guess, and these guesses came from the information you revealed. I am not conceited enough to think that I am the one who is always right. But … I hope that I can test it. "
"Oh?"
Zhong Luochen looked at 24, and an idea came to his mind. He said indifferently, "Since sir can modify the soul, then why don't you test it … I can find a test subject for you."
24 showed an interesting smile. "Wait until enough test subjects come out, and after the success rate is guaranteed, then you plan to do it yourself … Boss, I found that you are actually a born cold-blooded person."
Zhong Luochen said slowly, "I will prepare the candidates … Then, I will not disturb sir's rest."
Zhong Luochen left very decisively. When the door of the room closed and the room fell into darkness, 24's voice slowly sounded. "This soul is so good, who is so wicked to cut it …"
…
…
After coming out from Ren Ziling's magazine office, Leng Feng and Wang Yuegang exchanged a few words before parting ways.
The main purpose of Leng Feng's return this time was to meet his old friends and old leaders. Therefore, Leng Feng went to visit a few more families.
At around three o 'clock in the afternoon, Leng Feng called Luoqiu — he called him last night during dinner.
"Are you interested in accompanying me to climb the mountain?"
After coming out from the last old leader's house, Leng Feng called Luoqiu.
…
Luoqiu did not have a deep impression of this Uncle Leng Feng, but he knew that some people did not care about how long they had met each other.
His father did have a lot of friends, but for the old Luoqiu, there were only a few who were really close to him.
Of course, if Luoqiu could give someone a good impression, others could also give it to him.
This was probably the so-called exchange of contacts.
Luoxia Mountain, a scenic spot in the city where the locals had already vomited … Leng Feng walked along the path with great interest as he talked about these things.
"Nowadays, very few young people are willing to climb the mountain." Leng Feng smiled and said, "Life is too rich. For young people, climbing the mountain may not be as fun as playing games."
Luoqiu took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it over.
Leng Feng moistened his throat. The two of them then stopped halfway up the mountain and sat down where the wind was blowing.
He pointed at a large grey area in front of them and said excitedly, "I used to train there. Later, the base was removed and I was sent to another place … Yes, this is the place. However, I heard that this place will be removed next year. I heard that a new airport will be built. "
Leng Feng pointed at the city at the foot of the mountain, giving off a feeling of pointing at the mountains and rivers and mulberry fields.
As he spoke, Leng Feng gradually stopped talking and silently looked at the city at the foot of the mountain.
After a while, Leng Feng sighed and looked at Luoqiu. He suddenly said with amusement, "You child, it's strange. Whenever I look at you, I have the urge to say something … If I say that you're not there, you're there, but if I say that you're there, it's like I'm talking to the air. You're really different from your father. "
Luoqiu didn't say anything … probably because of his body constitution.
Leng Feng shook his head again. "I still prefer young people to be more energetic. At your age, you shouldn't be like this. Child, don't blame me for being nosy. I've seen too many young people. Every year, there are hundreds of new people coming to the camp. Some are younger than you, some are older than you. Some are arrogant, some are hot-tempered, some are timid, and some are quiet. I won't say that all living things are the same, but it's common to see all kinds of people … You, is there something on your mind? Is it related to Ziling? "
Luoqiu was stunned … After meeting Leng Feng this time, he was indeed in a rather lost state.
He didn't plan to treat Leng Feng like a guest, but at the same time, he couldn't treat him like Ma Houde and Ye Yan … Leng Feng was in the same position that Luoqiu had met for the first time.
They were close, but there was still something missing … But Leng Feng's sudden question interrupted Luoqiu's train of thought.
"Why do you say that?" Luoqiu asked curiously.
Leng Feng was a straightforward person, but at this moment, he was hesitating … But hesitation wasn't his personality, so he sighed and said directly, "How should I say this … A few years ago, you were still a child, and you needed to be taken care of the most, so I couldn't say much … But now, you're an adult, and you have your own thoughts. So, what do you think of Ziling? You don't need her protection anymore, and she's still so young. The relationship between you two … I think you should have realized it already, right? "
Suddenly, Luoqiu knew why he couldn't pinpoint Leng Feng's location.
There was a moment of silence.
Luoqiu looked at Leng Feng and smiled. It was his boss's voice. "Mr. Leng, you used to like her, right?"
Leng Feng's gaze was a little chaotic. He was used to death, and he could suppress thousands of recruits with his aura, but at this moment, he didn't dare to look at the young man in front of him … He was a little angry because of Luoqiu's sudden tone.
Of course, he wouldn't really be angry. Leng Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Kid, if you don't add the word 'used to', I'm afraid I'll beat you up."
Luoqiu became even quieter.
Leng Feng patted Luoqiu's shoulder and looked down the mountain. "I have a wife and a child, and we have a good relationship. I don't think as much as you do. It's just that as an old friend, I really don't want to see her go on like this. Do you remember what you said to me when we went to the cemetery yesterday? "
Luoqiu nodded.
"She still hasn't gotten over him." Leng Feng sighed. "She's a good woman. She either doesn't fall in love with him, or she stays with him forever."
Luoqiu remained silent.
Leng Feng said, "Are you willing to see her secretly cry a few times every year?"
"For the past year, I haven't been able to find what I want to do." Luoqiu didn't look at Leng Feng. Instead, he looked down the mountain. "I feel like I've been searching for a way to not let my emotions be taken away … But I still can't find the real reason to do this. In the process of searching, maybe I've been doing this subconsciously. "
Leng Feng frowned. He didn't plan to argue with Luoqiu today. He just wanted to confirm something … He knew that Ma Houde and the others had a good relationship with Luoqiu's family, so it wasn't convenient to talk about some things in person.
They needed someone, someone who wasn't close to the family but who also cared about the family, to expose this matter in person … Leng Feng was probably the one who had to do it.
He couldn't figure out why Luoqiu was saying this, so he asked subconsciously, "What … do you want to do?"
"I want to find a … world where both possibilities exist at the same time and they don't contradict each other."
Time paused at this moment.
It was a real pause.
The Earth fell into a state of stagnation.
Everything, everything, everything, the sea, the land, the wind, the sports cars, the trains, the countless routes, the people who were eating or chatting … Even the maid who was wiping the cups in the clubhouse.
These were all displayed clearly in Luoqiu's mind.
Maybe it was just a second.
Maybe it was a minute.
Maybe it was a long time.
Another power that was different from the altar suddenly sprouted in Luoqiu's body like a seed …
…
The mountain breeze suddenly blew, and Leng Feng shivered. He felt like he had spaced out for a long time.
He subconsciously glanced at Luoqiu beside him. He saw that the latter was holding his phone and taking pictures of the city below the mountain.
There were some things he wanted to say, and that was about Ren Ziling's future … But when it reached his mouth, he couldn't say it … Perhaps he should wait a few more years.
That was what he thought.
"Let's go back." Leng Feng stood up. "I booked a flight for tonight. I'll be leaving soon."
