The young rich man with a deposit of three million is actually myself.
Xie Zhi sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, pressing the screen pause button of his phone on and off, looking at the seven-digit balance in the alliance credit software without saying a word.
In the past ten minutes, I and my three roommates turned the entire room 2805 upside down. However, apart from the personal computer, smart watch and the mobile phone I found in my hand early in the morning, I found that There was still no clue found in the entire room.
There are no personal files in the personal computer, and there are no diaries or clues saved in the memo on the mobile phone. Only software such as Zhenchao records Xie Zhi's real name, but other than that, there is still no valid information. There is no contact information for the parents, and the only few notes that look like relatives are all called uncle, aunt, etc. Everyone speculates that even if they are not strangers, they probably have only met once. Distant house.
Nothing can be done.
"This house is as clean as if no one has ever lived in it."
Wang DaZhuo walked out of the bathroom, shook his hands that he had just washed, and then sat next to Xie Zhi.
"There were no clothes in the wardrobe, no utensils in the kitchen, no towels on the towel rack, not even roll paper in the roll box."
"There is no rolling paper..."
Xie Zhi raised his eyebrows, glanced at Wang Dazuo's wet hands, and then moved away silently.
Wang Da swung his hands and suddenly paused. He noticed Xie Zhi's movements.
"Well, I think you misunderstood what I meant. I just took a look and didn't..."
"Okay, you don't need to say anything, I understand, I completely understand."
"As long as you understand... Once you understand, don't move further away!"
At this time, Lu Chuan's figure appeared at the door of the bedroom. His glasses were a little crooked, his hands were stained with dust, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Come on, I found something under the bed in the bedroom, but my hands are too short to reach it."
"I come."
Wang Da waved his hands and stood up from the sofa.
"what have you found?"
Xiong Ansui's voice came from the kitchen. During the previous investigation, he found that there was a water purifier in the kitchen, so he drank some purified water from a Coke can.
Xie Zhi stared at Lu Chuan's face. He saw a kind of anxiety on Lu Chuan's face.
This kind of anxiety has never been felt before.
"I found it, a mask." Lu Chuan said.
…
A mask, a broken white mask to be precise, was placed on the coffee table in the middle of the three sofas.
There are two holes in the white mask, one for the left eye and the other for the right eye. The mouth has a black upward bracket that looks like a smile.
The damage to the mask started from the corners of the mouth, and went all the way across the nose bone, ending at the left eye. It looked like it had been cut open from the side with scissors, but it stopped halfway.
Xie Zhi felt two emotions from the mask, one was satisfaction, and the other was weird.
The strange emotions are naturally easy to understand. A strange mask appears in the room of the amnesiac. No matter how you think about it, such a mask must have something to do with you.
But Xie Zhi also felt a sense of satisfaction. As long as he cast his eyes on the mask, he could not help but feel a possible satisfaction, as if as long as he put on the mask, he could gain the most satisfying feeling in the world. achievements, reaching an unprecedented pinnacle in life.
A voice sounded from the bottom of his heart, "Put it on and you will have everything."
He subconsciously reached out his hand, but halfway out, he encountered another hand that was also reaching for the mask.
That hand comes from Wang Dazhuo.
Xie Zhi and Wang Dazuo looked at each other, and they both saw their own shock in each other's pupils.
In less than a second after that, Wang Dashui and Xie Zhi glanced at the other two roommates and found that Xiong Ansui and Lu Chuan were also in a state of confusion. They also stretched out their hands towards the masks.
So the two parties nodded in perfect agreement, and each pushed the roommate who was closer to them.
Xiong Ansui slowly woke up from the daze, only to find that he had lost his self-awareness in the trance, and couldn't help but mutter to himself,
"What on earth is this..."
But Lu Chuan, who had also woken up from the daze, seemed a little relieved. His tense shoulders relaxed.
"Its name is the Satisfaction Mask, and it often appears in emotional pollution sites."
"Is this the mask of satisfaction mentioned in the textbook? It doesn't look like it, does it?"
Wang Dazui frowned,
"I remember that the one mentioned in the textbook was a laughing expression. The book also mentioned that after everyone sees the Mask of Satisfaction, they will involuntarily want to put the mask on their face and never leave the mask again."
"But this one obviously doesn't have that much magic power. I just touched Xie Zhi's hand a little bit, and I broke away from his influence. As soon as I broke away like this, I seemed to have antibodies. When I look at it again , it’s not that attractive anymore.”
While Wang Daduo was talking, Lu Chuan took out a pair of leather gloves from the inner pocket of his leather jacket, put them on his hands, then picked up the mask and looked at it carefully.
"He is indeed not a textbook Class B pollutant that satisfies the mask. Rather, if he were, we would have felt the impact of the negative emotions in the mask from the moment we entered this room."
"The desire and possessiveness for masks will make us go crazy looking for where the masks are. We will subconsciously feel that this house contains the ultimate goal we have been looking for in our lives. If we can't find it, we will regret it for the rest of our lives."
"But we obviously didn't, and it wasn't until the mask was put on the table and observed up close that the four of us were affected by it."
Lu Chuan squinted his eyes and looked at the mask, but his words were quickly interrupted by Wang Dazhuo.
"No wonder, I thought something was wrong with you before. You were mumbling something. If we leave this room and don't look for the secrets in this room, we will regret it for the rest of our lives. It turns out that you were affected by this mask."
"really."
Xiong Ansui on the side also nodded,
"In the search of the entire house just now, you were the most thorough. You didn't even miss the corners like the back of the cabinet and under the bed."
Lu Chuan blushed, smiled, and put the mask back on the table.
"Don't I care about my roommates? Why am I being affected by the mask?"
Lu Chuan took off his leather gloves, covered the broken white mask, and continued to explain,
"If I'm not wrong, this mask should be an imitation of the Class B Pollutant Satisfaction Mask. Let's call it a damaged and inferior Satisfaction Mask for now."
"What a weird nomenclature for online games." Wang Dazhuo couldn't help complaining.
"Silence, let me continue."
Lu Chuan pushed up his glasses.
"According to the knowledge learned in the pollutant classification professional class, D-class pollutants have a certain degree of soul-stirring power and can affect normal people who can observe it at close range. However, those with a strong will can still use their own mental power to To break away from the influence of pollution, therefore, the current rating of this damaged and inferior mask should be D grade."
Xie Zhi was thoughtful, maybe this was the reason why he was unwilling to leave the room after waking up? He was sleeping less than fifty centimeters directly above the mask, so the influence of the mask must be quite strong.
"I understand this."
Wang Dadao nodded,
"Submit it to the Clearance Department and you can get at least 5,000 credit points. It falls into the category of making a small fortune."
"This is not the realm of making a small fortune,"
Lu Chuan raised his glasses and interrupted Wang Dazhuo's speech.
"In most cases, pollutants can exert their greatest influence only when they are in good condition and have a complete shape. But the mask we have now is damaged to at least 70%. That is It is said that if it is intact, its seductive power will be at least two to three times the current level. It is already a standard C-level pollutant."
"You mean, if this mask is handed over to the Department of Negotiation, it will be worth at least 50,000?"
Wang Dalu spoke tentatively.
"No, I mean, if this mask hadn't been damaged, all four of us would have died today."
Lu Chuan tilted his neck back and leaned on the back cushion of the sofa.
"We four college dogs obviously don't have the ability to earn this 50,000 yuan. If we really encounter Class C pollutants, I'm afraid we can only order a second-class merit on the tombstone. We haven't graduated from college yet, and we haven't graduated yet." After entering the negative Qing system, he died in the line of duty. The fate of the negative Qing division is magical, right?"
"What you said is really unlucky."
Wang Dazhuo showed a look of disgust,
"So according to your reasoning, how did this damaged mask change from C-level to D-level? And what does it have to do with what we are looking for, the mystery of Xie Zhi's amnesia?"
"Then we have to ask, Boss Xie himself. I think the most likely possibility is that Boss Xie, who has been with us day and night for more than a year, is actually some kind of hermit hero. He is always committed to traveling through time. Solving various emotional pollution problems between cities, this D-class damaged mask is his masterpiece."
Lu Chuan turned his head to look at Xie Zhi, who had an "I don't know anything" look on his face, and then turned to Xiong Ansui.
"But before that, we have to trouble the blind comrade who is the most gifted educator among us to summarize all the current situations to Xie Zhi, so that he can at least understand what the situation is now and what we will experience."
Xiong Ansui, who was sitting aside and drinking water silently, couldn't help but sigh, and then put down the water glass.
"Then let's start from the pollution site."
…
Emotional pollution, a concept born after the giant moon.
The huge energy brought by the moon's gravity impacts the lives of ordinary people to a degree that is difficult to explain by traditional science. The intensification of geological activities is only superficial. What has a more severe impact on human survival is the profound impact of the moon's gravity on human emotions.
Almost everyone, under the illumination of the huge moon, will inevitably fall into negative emotions - anxiety, boredom, and nausea are just the most basic ones, while hatred, hatred, fear, and even depression and world-weariness are more advanced.
In the world illuminated by the huge moon, negative emotions and human activities go hand in hand. After the initial trembling and fear, people quickly adapted to the symbiosis of negative emotions and human beings. Psychological counseling and psychotherapy have become popular professions in the new era, and these professions also have a new category, which is negative emotions. Clean up.
And this is also the reason why the Yanshui City Negative Emotions Cleaning University was established.
There are a total of sixteen negative Qing universities in the Dayu Alliance, which are located in sixteen giant urban agglomerations from south to north. Yanshui negative Qing is one of them.
Every year, Yanqing University delivers hundreds of outstanding young graduates to the society, and most of these graduates will take up positions in cleaning up negative emotions. Some of them will become social talents, go to consultation centers and hospitals, and become excellent psychiatrists; while others will take up combat positions, join the negative cleansing department system, and become special talents fighting against emotional pollution.
Pollutants and pollution sources are an integral part of emotional pollution cases.
…
"I don't understand. Are the pollutant and the pollution source two different things?"
"Indeed, pollutants are generally inanimate objects, and the sources of pollution are all humans. They are living people who have accumulated excessive emotional energy in their bodies and are difficult to control and eventually leak out to form a pollution field."
…
Emotion is a kind of energy.
This energy gradually became known to the world after the huge moon incident, along with cases of emotional pollution one after another.
Negative emotions accumulate in the human body as time and environment change. If not cleared in time, the accumulated negative emotions will exceed its critical value. We call this critical value the emotion convergence limit.
Once the aggregation limit is exceeded, the accumulation of negative emotions will suddenly accelerate. If you are in it, you will feel that the malice from the world is coming from all directions, and all the darkness and despair are rushing towards you.
At this time, you will become a black hole of negative emotions. You will spontaneously and quickly absorb all kinds of negative emotional energy from the external environment until you reach another critical point. This criticality is called the leakage criticality.
When the negative emotions in the human body exceed the leakage threshold, you will change from an emotional black hole that continuously absorbs negative emotions to a source of infection that begins to unconsciously release negative emotions, and this is the origin of the source of pollution.
All humans within the contaminated area will be affected by your emotions. This influence is not based on their original intention or your original intention, but is the result of your unconscious pollution, and the contagion of emotions increases the negative emotions in the contaminated site. Energy concentration and all kinds of negative emotions are filling your surroundings, just like leaking gas gradually filling a closed room.
Soon after this, the third critical point is reached, which we call the explosive critical point, the emotional explosion.
The human body's capacity to carry negative emotions has reached its limit, and the concentration of negative emotions in the pollution site has also reached its limit. After that, it only takes a little spark for the emotional explosion to turn the entire pollution site upside down.
And the best Mars is human nature.
After the third critical point is reached, all it takes is a small spark, and only those unpolluted, optimistic, cheerful and positive humans to set foot in the emotional pollution field, it will cause a huge disaster comparable to a missile attack.
Maybe it was a city that was uprooted by the explosion, or maybe it was a hemispherical ruin with a diameter of a thousand meters and a depth of fifty meters... Many tragedies related to emotional explosions were recorded in the archives of the Ministry of Negro Purification and the historical exhibition room where the explosion occurred. , they are disasters that all mankind needs to remember.
…
"I have another problem."
Xie Zhi continued to raise his hand,
"According to you, pollutants and pollution sources will definitely appear in pollution sites?"
Xiong Ansui nodded,
"Mostly, but not absolutely."
"The appearance of pollution sources must mean that we are in a pollution site, but the appearance of pollutants does not necessarily mean that. Especially since the mask in our hands is seriously damaged, I am more willing to speculate that this mask is you before you lost your memory. , seized and brought out of the pollution site, rather than us being in the middle of an ongoing emotional pollution site.”
"..."
Xie Zhi was suddenly speechless. According to what you mean, is this all your good guess?
Just as he was about to speak, Wang Dazhuo impatiently took over the conversation.
"No, according to what you mean, you don't know anything, but with your yearning for a better life, you think this must not be a pollution site?"
"Then what else can I do!"
Xiong Ansui suddenly became anxious.
"I can't say that now we are in a huge pollution field. Maybe the entire Tianguang Building has become a pollution field. Hey, brother, we are dead! Reunion in the same dormitory!"
Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel in the dormitory, Xie Zhi had no choice but to feel that he was getting more and more anxious, but could not think of any solution.
Lu Chuan on the side suddenly stood up and slapped Xiong Ansui and Wang Dazuo on their faces, one to the left and the other to the right.
For an instant, the entire living room was silent.
"You hit me..." Wang Daduo blushed, "My father didn't even..."
"Everyone be quiet!"
Lu Chuan's voice suddenly rose eight decibels, and then dropped again.
"We have been infected! Just now! Didn't you realize something was wrong with you! Each of the four of us became extremely anxious!"
Xie Zhi was startled and immediately discovered something unusual about himself. He suddenly turned his head to look at the broken mask on the table, and saw that around the broken crack, the originally smiling expression on the mask was gradually opening the corners of his mouth!
His expression gradually became confused again, but this confusion only lasted less than three seconds, because a palm soon appeared on the damaged mask, grabbed the mask and the leather gloves on the mask, and started running.
It's Lu Chuan!
"Lu Chuan, what are you going to do?!" Wang Dazai was shocked, and he was still a little out of touch with the situation.
"Open the door!" Lu Chuan shouted.
It was Xiong Ansui who reacted. He rolled over from the back of the sofa and opened the door at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
After that, Lu Chuan also rushed out, threw the mask and gloves along the corridor, and threw them off the balcony on the 28th floor.
Xie Zhi watched as the damaged mask and two leather gloves flew up and down, gradually shrunk into the size of a mosquito, and fell into the green belt of the community.
"Fuck! Five thousand yuan!" Only then did Wang Daduo react. He rushed out of the door and wanted to jump downstairs with the mask.
But in an instant, he was hugged from behind by Xiong Ansui, who was 1.9 meters tall, and fell to the floor in a grappling manner.
"You are crazy! You are risking your life!"
Only then did Wang Dazhuo's eyes regain their clarity.
