The person sitting at the head of the conference table was still the officer carrying the general. He reached out and patted down the report on Chu Yunsheng's current situation. There was a thick stack. He looked around everyone and said, "Let's discuss it freely. According to our Based on the current information in his hands, this little guy is very sure that the end of the world is coming, and is seizing every moment to prepare supplies. What do you think?"
The gray-haired old man raised his eyes and pointed at the report that Song Ying was only a few thin compared to Chu Yunsheng. He compared it and said: "I still said the same thing. Chu's problems are much more serious than Song's. I want to solve them." The mystery of the monster’s retreat must and can only be solved from him.”
The officer nodded and asked, "Professor Sun, what do you think?"
"That's what I think." Professor Sun hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Is it possible that the monster incident in the laboratory seriously stimulated him and caused him to develop some kind of doomsday complex, which led to a series of crazy actions? Unlike Miss Song, he has no background and is under great psychological pressure. Even though Miss Song has the same complex, her family situation can easily prevent her from thinking too much about this issue."
Then he spoke faster and continued: "Of course, who is the root cause? Judging from the current situation, it is not important. The first thing we need to figure out is why such an incident happened? We should focus on this. Even if it's Chu's problem, it won't help if we capture him and put him in the laboratory now, because we don't have a specific experimental plan. We can't just lock him up and put him on the operating table for dissection, right? What if? This is a waste of a quasi-experimental subject that is very likely to solve the mystery. It is better to put him outside and continue to observe."
Professor Sun's words were not unreasonable. The officer also nodded without making any comments. He looked at the others and asked again: "Do you have any other opinions? Tell them all. Let’s brainstorm ideas.”
The people in white coats in the experimental building are always led by a few old guys. Professor Sun and the white-haired old man each expressed their different opinions. Others all belong to the academic camp and hold the idea of being wise to protect their own safety. They look at their noses with their eyes and their mouths with their noses. All without saying a word.
Just when the officer was about to lose his patience, Zhao Ling, who was beside Professor Sun, suddenly said: "What if, I just assume an if, let's look at it from another angle. What if the end of the world that Chu thinks is true?"
She repeatedly emphasized what if and what if. It's not the truth, but after she finished speaking, everyone still looked at her in surprise, and the meaning in their eyes couldn't be more strange - do you think so too?
Zhao Ling nodded slightly and added, despite the questioning looks of everyone: "I have a good friend who recently joined Chu's company. After the monster incident happened, I looked through Chu's personal information and discovered this relationship. Immediately I went to find my good friend. According to her recollection, Chu decided to resign before coming to the laboratory and asked her a strange question about the end of the world. Later, Chu’s colleagues also confirmed that before the car accident, he had I started to believe in this concept and promoted it among my friends several times.”
Upon hearing this, the officer's brows twitched and he sat upright. He seemed to be interested and gestured: "Continue, do you have any conclusions?"
Professor Sun also gave her an encouraging look, indicating that she should speak boldly.
"Okay." Zhao Ling collected her thoughts. He speculated: "I think Chu's abnormal behavior is an isolated incident and has nothing to do with the car accident and the monster incident. In other words, before the car accident, his behavior was already abnormal, and we are because of the impact of the car accident and the monster incident. With the understanding The main-first thinking confuses the two, creating the illusion that both Chu and Song Dynasties were abnormal after the monster incident. In fact, this may not be the case. Then, it is easy to understand that the monster's retreat reaction should be the same as that of the monster. It is related to Miss Song because she was the only one who developed abnormal behavior after this incident, which is more logically reasonable."
The officer was silent for a while and praised: "Your analysis is very good. In this way, Chu will be left to you for the time being. You will be fully responsible for tracking. Try to have as much contact with him as possible. It is best to find out what he thinks will happen at the end of the world." The reason, this is very important. Professor Sun, do you have any objection to using your person?"
"Of course there is no problem, but -" Professor Sun changed his tone and said very seriously: "General Gao, I have always had a question. Since the military called us to participate in the 1011 plan, it still has not revealed the true content of the plan. I I would like to make a personal comment. I hope that the cooperation between the military and us should be based on mutual trust, rather than guarding against and concealing each other. Recently, we have reached a critical period in research. If we do not know the exact direction of our research, this will be very detrimental to the development of research work. ."
The officer responded very quickly, nodded immediately, and said calmly: "This is natural. Without a scientific eye, you are a headless fly. However, the military has a confidentiality system, which is not something I can change according to my personal wishes."
What he said was in vain, and he was obviously speaking in an official tone. Professor Sun was not satisfied, but he also knew that confidentiality was a top priority when working for the army. It was impossible and would not be disclosed casually. This was related to national security and was not a child's play.
However, as the work deepened and reached a critical period, especially after the monster incident, various speculations among researchers were flying. He had to ask a fatal question on behalf of many researchers and himself.
"I only ask one thing." Professor Sun weighed for a moment and finally made up his mind.
This question is not a small issue, nor is it a national security issue, but is related to the lives of all people and the safety of all families, so he must ask, and he must ask.
In order to successfully touch on this issue and get the response it deserves, he deliberately raised the tip of the iceberg himself, and then arranged for his students to gradually guide the topic to the top.
Therefore, it can be said that this meeting was apparently discussing the issues between Chu Yunsheng and Song Ying, but in essence it was a secret contest between the white coats and the military.
"What do you want to ask Professor Sun? Please tell me." General Gao's eyes were reserved, but he still expressed his sincerity.
But the more he behaves like this, the greater the pressure on Professor Sun. With his experience at this age, he clearly knows what can be asked and what cannot be asked. Especially when dealing with a powerful department like the military, he must be more careful. , must comply with the rules, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Is what Chu Yunsheng is doing true?"
In the end, he chose a more euphemistic and vague way of asking. It can be understood as whether "Chu Yunsheng is preparing for the end of the world" is true, or whether the end of the world is true.
Everything depends on how General Gao answers.
General Gao seemed stunned for a second, then laughed loudly and said: "Old Sun, you are our famous scientist. Do you believe that there is such a thing? Besides, when it comes to this kind of thing, you are scientists, you are the authority, even the military must I listen to you, right?"
What he said was perfectly accurate. Professor Sun was very concerned about logic, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It was not really the military that had the final say whether there would be an end of the world. Unless a world war like a nuclear war broke out, the elites in the scientific community would have to resort to the knife. Isn’t it a big joke that the armed forces ask about scientific matters?
As if he saw Professor Sun's embarrassment, General Gao stood up and said in a reasonable manner: "Professors, why don't we just stop here today, and you guys should sort out a specific plan as soon as possible. Whether it's Chu or Song, it means a lot to us. Very important."
After saying that, he packed up his things and left the venue. A dignified scientific expert asked a layman about scientific matters. He did not think it was a joke. This showed that people in the experimental building were already in a state of confusion. The researchers were full of doubts and dissatisfaction, and were in a state of crisis. During sensitive periods, you need to find ways to calm them down quickly.
…
When Chu Yunsheng was ordering meat products, he received a call from an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, he hung up.
But not long after, before he and the butcher had exchanged a few words, the phone rang again. It was still the same number, so the butcher said, you should answer the phone first.
Chu Yunsheng had a large amount of banknotes in his bag, and he was standing at the door to answer the phone for fear of being robbed accidentally. This kind of thing happened from time to time in the news, and he had always been very careful. So he quickly got into the butcher's shop, answered the phone and said, "Hello, who's there?"
A young girl's calm voice came from the mobile phone: "Chu Yunsheng? I am Zhao Ling, a student of Professor Sun. Do you remember me?"
Although the day of the car accident was a bit unreal, it was not that long after all. Of course Chu Yunsheng remembered it, but he just didn't know why she suddenly called him? He was really scared of the girl named Song Ying, and asked doubtfully: "Oh, hello, what do you want from me?"
"I want to ask you for a favor." Zhao Ling on the other end of the phone paused and said, "There is someone who wants to meet you."
Chu Yunsheng immediately became alert and asked: "Who?" Then he immediately added: "I may not have time."
Hearing his tone, Zhao Ling was afraid that he would hang up the phone immediately, so she rushed to say: "It's Song Ying. I went to see her today. Her mental state is very bad and her mood is unstable. She has been having troubles since she went back last time. She locked herself in a room and refused to see anyone. She would eat something only when she was hungry. Her body was very weak. She only let me in when I mentioned you outside the door..."
While Chu Yunsheng was listening to the call, he thought to himself that it was indeed this god of plague again. He would not want to see this person again even if he were killed. He immediately said firmly: "I'm sorry, I really don't have time. That's it. I'm hanging up. goodbye."
After saying that, he actually hung up the phone, took a deep breath, pretended that nothing had happened, and asked the butcher again to calculate the quantity, total price, and delivery date.
Just after saying a few words, the call came again. Chu Yunsheng only glanced at it and hung up immediately without hesitation. Then he blacklisted the caller and made up his mind to draw a clear line between himself and this group of dangerous people.
The butcher smiled and joked, "Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?"
Chu Yunsheng glared at him and said: Are you a meat seller or a gossip?
The butcher smiled and said nothing. Chu Yunsheng was a big customer who came to his door, so naturally he couldn't offend easily.
This young man wanted almost any kind of meat except human flesh. The quantity was so large that he didn’t care about the price. However, his request for delivery was very strange. The delivery date was set to be more than a month later. It couldn’t be done one day earlier or one day later.
It's just that he can't do this business alone. After all, he doesn't sell all kinds of meat. He needs to find other butchers to join forces. Of course, as an intermediary, there will be many benefits.
With a smile on his face, he offered Chu Yunsheng a discount. The butcher took out a piece of paper and hastily wrote a simplified version of the contract note, fingerprinted it, and took the deposit from Chu Yunsheng, counting it happily.
At this time, Chu Yunsheng's cell phone rang again, but it was not a call, but a text message from another number.
The butcher was counting the money, and Chu Yunsheng couldn't leave. After thinking about it, he wanted to see what she wanted to do. Facing those powerful people and powerful institutions, he was still a little worried.
The text message read:
"Chu, Song Ying is in danger now. If you don't go, I'm worried that she will commit suicide. She only mentioned to me that she wanted to see you... Don't worry, I understand your worries. I didn't report this matter to the superiors. Song Ying's father doesn't know either. I have made excuses, but he is afraid that his daughter will have another accident and refuses to let Song Ying come out with me, so if you want to go, I will drive to pick you up in a moment."
