Lu Ming noticed that this time, Shu Changshan really relaxed and was no longer as tense as before.
However, after Shu Changshan relaxed, after removing the slick aura of an ordinary magic stick, his temperament was really a little out of the world, like a master from this world.
Lu Ming gathered his energy and did not directly ask him what he could not escape. Instead, he said, "Can Assistant Wang leave first and let's talk alone?" Shu Changshan waved his hand feebly.
Next to him, Assistant Wang filled up his tea and left on his own. The door is closed. At this moment, only Lu Ming and Shu Changshan were left in the room.
At this time, Lu Mingcai said: "What can't be avoided?" Shu Changshan seemed a little tired at this moment.
He rubbed his forehead and said: "Mr. Lu, let me tell you frankly, I don't want to get involved in your affairs or have any contact with you. I don't know anything and I can't tell you any news. That's all we are, you Keep busy with your stuff, and I'll keep busy with mine, okay?" Lu Ming frowned slightly: "What worries do you have, so you dare not say anything?"
"No comment."
"Or, you can at least tell me the reason why you can't cooperate with us. If the reason is reasonable and necessary, I can leave right now." Shu Changshan pondered for a moment, then shook his head again: "No comment." Lu Ming's voice became stern. Standing up: "It is the obligation of every citizen to cooperate with the security officers!" Shu Changshan looked at Lu Ming: "Or, you can arrest me?" He seemed to have made up his mind and refused to cooperate with Lu Ming.
The atmosphere in the room gradually became stiff. Lu Ming had a cold face, but suddenly smiled the next moment.
"Perhaps I can guess the reason why you are unwilling to cooperate with us, or what your concerns are." Lu Ming stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, walked around, and said to himself: "Life? Wealth? Relatives? Someone? Threatening you? Well... every possibility is possible." Shu Changshan looked at him coldly.
"In this way, let's start with your identity, family background, and interpersonal relationships. Master Shu, are you fifty-six years old this year? You had a daughter before, who is twenty-nine years old this year and is married. You have always wanted a son. , but never. It was not until you were forty-two years old that you had a son in middle age. Your wife died in childbirth due to her advanced maternal age. This is your only son. I treat you like a pearl. Your son is fourteen years old this year, but he doesn’t learn well at a young age. He is a social imbecile. He fights, smokes, and drinks at a young age. He has become pregnant with several girls and has been to the juvenile detention center three times. Every time you go to great lengths to fish it out." Shu Changshan's expression became even colder: "What exactly are you going to say?" Lu Ming waved his hand: "Don't be anxious, listen to me. Your daughter originally had a good relationship with you, but Since the birth of your son, your daughter knew that you would not be able to leave your family property to her, so she felt dissatisfied. Together with her son-in-law, she was filial to you on the surface, but in fact, she had been plotting against your family property. In fact, part of the reason why your son did not learn well is because Instigation from your daughter and son-in-law. You were diagnosed with cancer three years ago. Although you had radical surgery and there has been no recurrence, your life expectancy is less than ten years left. So I guess what you are most worried about now is You won't live until your son truly grows up and matures, and you are worried that after your death, your son will be framed and killed by your daughter and son-in-law, and the family property will fall into the hands of others, right?" As for Shu Changshan, he wants to leave all the family property to his son and not give any to his daughter. Lu Ming declined to comment.
The money belongs to him, Shu Changshan, and he can give it to whoever he is willing to give it to, and he will not interfere. Shu Changshan's expression changed.
He did not ask how Lu Ming knew these things, but said coldly: "Are you threatening me?" Lu Ming's words did sound like a threat.
Lu Ming shook his head and sighed: "I am a staff member of the World Government, how can I threaten you? What I want is for you to cooperate with us willingly, not to be forced to cooperate. That is meaningless. "Shu Changshan snorted.
"Have you ever thought that I can relieve you of all your worries?" Shu Changshan was startled. Lu Ming looked at him condescendingly: "If you agree to cooperate with us, I can find a way for you to get the best treatment and extend your life as much as possible. Even if you still don't live to see your son grow up, after you die, I will I can also protect your son's family property. And, I can help your son take the right path." Shu Changshan's breathing became slightly faster, but he still did not speak.
"Well, of course, it's also possible that your concerns come from your own life. Maybe there are some reasons that make you think that once you cooperate with us, you won't even survive ten years. It's understandable. No one wants to die if they can live. . However, what I can promise you is that once you cooperate with us, I will provide you with top-notch security to ensure that no conventional force can harm you. It is also possible that your concerns come from unconventional forces. You may think that we It is impossible to protect your safety. In this case, you need to make your own decision. Is your remaining lifespan more important, or is it your son who will take the right path in the future and live a peaceful, prosperous and healthy life, rather than not knowing which day? Is it important to die in the gutter during a firefight?" Shu Changshan's breathing became even more rapid.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "How can you ensure that my son will grow up healthily in the future, follow the right path, and not go astray?" Regarding his son's growth problem, Shu Changshan himself obviously had nothing to do.
If there was a way, he would have used it long ago, and his son would not be crooked like this. Lu Ming said that he had a way. Although Shu Changshan couldn't believe it, he was full of expectations.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I represent the Planetary Security Bureau and the power of the world government. You don't think I can't do such a small thing, do you? It seems to you that it is extremely difficult, but in my opinion it is just A small matter. I will directly throw your son into a concentration training camp to ensure his studies while cutting off his contact with the outside world. I will use semi-military means to reform his mind and get rid of his bad habits. After that, When he grows up, someone will be sent to secretly monitor him, and anyone who approaches him with bad intentions will be dealt with in advance. As for your family property, I will find someone to set up a fund, operate it in a corporate model, and use legal means to ensure this The money can only be his, and no one can take it away. As long as you give your daughter and son-in-law a little warning, I guarantee that they will not have any bad intentions. How about it, is it very simple?" Shu Changshan's face was filled with emotion. Struggle and hesitation.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "How can I trust you?"
"If you promised to give ten dollars to a beggar, would you refuse the payment?"
"of course not."
"Yes. You won't default on the bill, because ten yuan means nothing to you. Then..." Lu Ming took out another document and handed it to him: "Activate your connections and ask about this document. You Just believe me." Shu Changshan took the certificate dubiously and walked out of the room to make a phone call.
Ten minutes later, he came back and handed the certificate back to Lu Ming.
"Do you believe me?"
"Believed."
"Can you cooperate with my work?"
"Okay." Shu Changshan sat down again: "If I can do it, just ask. I will fully cooperate." Lu Ming didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Why didn't you cooperate with me before? You said you couldn't escape. But what?" Shu Changshan smiled bitterly: "I feel the breath of the evil god." Lu Ming was startled: "The... breath of the evil god? From me?"
"Yes. I don't know what you are looking for me for, but I can feel that it must be related to the evil god. I don't want to be involved in this kind of thing, but I dare not refuse directly, for fear that you will notice that I know something, and I will insist on it instead. After contacting me, I tried so hard to get rid of you. Unexpectedly, you still saw the flaw, and you didn't escape after all. This is life, both are lives."
The description of "feeling the aura of the evil god" seemed too vague, making Lu Ming somewhat unable to understand it.
"How did you feel it? When did you feel it? Well, what does this feeling feel like? Why can you feel it?" Lu Ming asked a series of questions.
Shu Changshan organized his words: "I can't describe what this feeling is like. If I can barely describe it, it's probably similar to intuition. Well, after you contacted my assistant yesterday, when he showed me the schedule, I felt like I had this intuition, so I decided not to see you. As for why I can feel it, haha, I don’t know if you will believe it."
"Whether you believe it or not is my business, just say so."
"Okay." Shu Changshan sighed and began to tell.
"You know my relevant information, you know that I am, uh, a magic stick, haha. I don't know about others, but my magic stick may be a little different from others. I don't believe in a certain god, and I don't think There is a great benevolent god in the world who saves the suffering. Of course, I believe in the existence of a god, but I do not believe in it. I only worship it. I can communicate with this god, and after offering my sacrifice, I I can exchange for some help from him. I have mastered some of his taboos, and I am careful not to violate them to prevent him from hurting me. I have also mastered some communication skills with him, and I can achieve some goals and do some things. God and I It's more like a transaction." Lu Ming said: "Who is your god? How did you first come into contact with him?"
"I only know very little information. His name is 'Light Chaser'. He wanders in the universe and exists in a pattern that we cannot understand, eternally pursuing light."
"Light...is it light in the physical sense, or is it light in the cultural sense?" There is an obvious difference between the two.
Shu Changshan gave a definite answer: "In a physical sense."
"Light in the physical sense, the brightest place is generally a star, a neutron star, or the accretion disk of some black hole." Lu Ming pondered: "What kind of pursuit is he chasing? What about after chasing the light?" Shu Changshan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know. I only know this about him."
"How did you first come into contact with it?" Shu Changshan recalled with emotion: "That was when I was a child. I remember when I was in junior high school, one time I had a fever and fell asleep in a daze. I had a dream. In the dream, I seemed to be in space. There were stars everywhere, and there was a sun, which was big, bright, and dazzling. In the starry sky, there was something like a comet, dragging a long The long tail was rushing towards the sun. Then I woke up. For a period of time after that, I would have this dream every night when I fell asleep. I told my parents, but they would only say that I didn’t sleep well, but I didn’t say anything later. Until I grew up, graduated, and joined the workforce, I began to collect information in this area. By chance, I found information about a religion that had disappeared. In the records of that religion, I saw that every day The figure of this comet appeared in my dream at night. According to the classics, this is a kind of god living in the starry sky, and its name is the Light Chaser. It also records some rituals and taboos, saying You can communicate with it by performing a ceremony. At that time, I was brave and curious, so I held a ceremony. Then... I really felt it. I really felt it without sleeping... Classics The things recorded above are very rudimentary. I slowly explored on my own and gradually mastered some skills in communicating with it, as well as some taboos. In the process, I also paid a heavy price." Shu Changshan's face was full of bitterness .
An idea flashed through Lu Ming's mind. Having a dream and inexplicably connecting with a strange mythical creature, well, this is very Cthulhu.
"What price?" Shu Changshan sighed: "Mr. Lu, do you think that my daughter and son-in-law are plotting against my family property and even trying to kill my son, my son's failure to study well, and my cancer... are all natural occurrences?" Lu Ming was startled.
Are these...the price to pay for violating the taboo of mythical creatures? Of course, Lu Ming didn't believe everything at this moment.
Lu Ming would not believe everything Shu Changshan said easily, but would verify it one by one in the future.
"Can you let me see the classics of the extinct religion you mentioned?"
"Of course." Shu Changshan called, and within a moment, Assistant Wang brought over a self-bound booklet.
"This is the record I collected back then." On it, Lu Ming indeed saw the comet-like thing that Shu Changshan called
"Light Chaser" creature. The name of this religion, translated into modern prophetic words, is called
"Nelot". Lu Ming wrote down the name.
"Let's talk about me again. You said you felt the aura of the evil god from me. So, who is this evil god?" Shu Changshan looked straight at Lu Ming and said slowly: "The evil god who is associated with you has the code name It’s called the ‘Magic Eye’.”
