mood
"Security Department, someone broke into the school gate."
The guard at the door looked at this group of people strangely, hesitated for a moment, and finally made a phone call to the human being.
The monsters in this school are not allowed to harm humans without permission, but except for a few people, no one likes them.
"What? What about the scale?"
"…About a hundred people."
The leader was holding a loudspeaker, the people behind him were holding banners, and there were many onlookers around, the scene was chaotic.
Of course, for key areas that are patrolled 24 hours a day by a certain amount of official forces, this scale is not a threat.
At the same time, Ji Yunding was sitting at the docking station, looking a little solemn.
"That is, Leviathan is feeding on, or collecting, human emotions."
Zheng Nuo nodded and took the document from the person at the counter next to him.
“Yes, and judging from the current situation, the sudden increase in the frequency of irregular riots is also related to it. This information has not been made public yet.
It is speculated that this is taking advantage of you to start the first wave of large-scale public opinion disputes, and then forming a positive feedback through Leviathan, which continues to expand the interference. "
Ji Yunding wanted to ask why they didn't just make it public, but after thinking about it, he sighed - indeed, not everyone has the ability to control their emotions. It can even be said that not everyone has the ability to understand and read properly.
"The good news is that there has been a breakthrough in the research of two-level energy sources."
Ji Liuxing sat aside and added,
“It’s emotion.”
"mood?"
The relevant researcher sitting next to him flipped through the materials and gave Ji Yunding detailed additional explanations.
“If human society is the result of highly developed rationality, then all kinds of scientific and technological products are manifestations of the development of rationality.
But on the other hand, this development comes at the cost of suppressing sensibility. People are framed in the rules of society and suppress their own sensibility.
As a concept that has always been parallel to rationality, sensibility. If it develops to the same level and produces external manifestations..."
"That is, the existence of bipolar energy and weirdness. And, strange stories also rely on this. Considering that Leviathan seems to be able to expand the area of fixed strange stories."
Ji Yunding came to a conclusion immediately, and the person in charge of the relevant project nodded.
"If 'inspiration' is the disorder in orderly rationality, then the order in sensibility has not yet been discovered. Human emotions are always chaotic. Even Team Leader Ji Liuxing cannot give a clear explanation in this regard."
"So, I brought a researcher from the civilized world here with me, and I want to ask for your opinion on this issue."
Ji Liuxing smiled and pointed at the group of people behind him.
"They have helped me a lot. This is a good opportunity for you to get to know each other."
Ji Yunding tilted his head. The people in the room were all waiting, and Ji Yunding was extremely confused at this time.
"People are happy when they encounter happy things, and they are unhappy when they encounter unhappy things. Is this confusing?"
After hearing this, the researchers exchanged ideas with each other and then asked questions.
“For example, if you were offered a promotion that was filled with unknowns, how would you express your feelings?”
"I am very happy."
After Ji Yunding finished speaking, he and the person opposite him stared at each other for a while, while Ji Liuxing and Zheng Nuo next to them both held back their laughter.
Well, now it’s not just one group of people who are being annoyed by Ji Yunding’s straightforward theories.
Seeing that the conversation was going nowhere, Ji Liuxing sighed and asked Ji Yunding, "I heard that you have resolved Jiang Chengyue's issue. How did you feel at that time?"
"That's something I did think about afterwards."
Ji Yunding thought about this matter and thought about it carefully. He probably understood the question they wanted to ask, so he tried hard to express his thoughts.
"From my perspective, I feel sad for what happened to my sister and how it ended, but I also feel relieved because it was a relief for her.
I don't think it's a problem to be happy when you should be happy and sad when you should be sad. In contrast, I don't understand why you mix these emotions together.
From what I have observed, humans sometimes need to pretend to be happy when they are unhappy, and pretend to be sad when they are not sad. Rather than saying that emotions are disordered, it is better to say that you have mixed up your emotions yourself. "
Humans are creatures of inertia. If they keep pretending, they will lose their ability to distinguish their own emotions.
After saying that, Ji Yunding saw the researchers talking to each other and there seemed to be some progress.
"Team Leader, is it okay for me to just say this?"
"That's amazing! I can't say that. Besides, their job is to study us investigators, so just say whatever comes to your mind. Even if you can't explain it clearly, it's also a result for them."
As they were talking, suddenly, sharp and piercing alarms sounded from all the investigators' cell phones. Ji Yunding rubbed his ears uncomfortably, picked up his phone, and looked at the bright red warning flashing on the screen.
——Leviathan appeared within one kilometer of the school and drove its tentacles into the ground. The specific reason is unknown.
"Yunding, look at your phone." Zheng Nuo swiped it with a nervous expression.
"Well, Leviathan..."
"No, look at the social platform and switch to the information in the same city."
Ji Yunding followed his instructions, picked up his phone, swiped away the alarm interface, and flipped over to take a look.
The crowd is heading to the Academy of Mysterious Phenomena Investigation, demanding a specific explanation of Ji Yunding's incident.
——"Please Ji Yunding give a positive response."
In the photo uploaded by someone, Ji Yunding saw the red banner.
Crowds of people came from all directions, and those who still had reason stayed indoors. As a result, the people who flocked in became more and more convinced that they were practicing the only truth in the world.
The crowd was in a frenzy.
They seemed to be confident that they were not doing this for personal gain - in fact, this matter did not benefit them at all - but for some belief.
They are convinced that they are absolutely right, they feel that they are saving rather than profiting, giving rather than taking - the sense of superiority brought by this idea drives them crazy.
Zheng Nuo and the staff at the administrative liaison office began to make and receive calls and messages with serious expressions.
"The security department is short of personnel and is requesting related reinforcements. Yunding, go hide somewhere else... It will soon be unsafe here."
Civilized society has its own methods of trial. Even if ordinary people of this size do not pose a threat to the research team, they cannot easily hurt anyone.
Ji Liuxing sighed and looked up at Ji Yunding.
"Go to another dimension..."
"Team leader, the weird talk has started again."
Ji Yunding held up his phone and showed Ji Liuxing the virus-like pop-up message.
【Welcome to the weird story you can't escape from. Everyone is watching you, and any response you make is wrong.
1. Please carefully choose the people you trust.
2. Please don't be afraid, never be afraid. Once you start to doubt yourself, you will slowly move towards death. But why don't you die?
3. Please get used to being evaluated, insulted, abused and slandered, or terminate your existence.
4. You can choose to escape, prove yourself, or kill them all.
5. Look at the people you once protected, why not just join us? 】
"Will there be any problems if I go to another dimension to hide?"
Ji Yunding wrote in her notes that if she escaped from a ghost story by entering an alternate dimension, the ghost story would become her natural enemy next time.
Although the ghost story that Ji Yunding was involved in was very special - apart from fixed ghost stories and environmental ghost stories, no other open ghost stories had ever been heard of - but leaving rashly could still lead to unpredictable consequences.
Ji Liuxing pulled his hair hard and then stood up immediately.
"Let's go back to Group 1 first. There are no doors near the north area, so it's safer."
Along the way, Ji Liuxing looked particularly anxious, but Ji Yunding was fine and was even trying to adapt to a normal walking speed.
"Team leader, don't worry, I don't think it's that dangerous."
After all, they looked very powerful, but in the end they were just a group of ordinary people. Even if they started a battle royale in the school, they couldn't catch Ji Yunding.
"If they really catch me, Sister Tang will give me more training later."
"What the hell, why are you comforting me again?"
Ji Liuxing forced a smile, tried to say something lighthearted, then sighed.
"I just didn't want you to see those people directly. I think... I didn't feel good at the time. But it's a good thing that you have such a good attitude."
"Team leader, does it hurt when sulfuric acid is poured on you?"
"It happened a long time ago. It was just a little stain on my arm. It's nothing serious."
Ji Liuxing spoke in a low voice without describing it in detail. This incident had been reported in the social news before and was repeatedly publicized as an extremely bad and vicious incident.
"Why are you saving the world?" Ji Yunding asked curiously.
Theoretically, most people who want to save the world don't know much about the world - this also makes some of them look a little hypocritical, and occasionally show their childish appearance of being betrayed by the world.
In fact, the idea that doing good things will definitely be rewarded is wrong in itself. So Ji Yunding always does things as he pleases and does not expect any reward from anyone.
In Ji Yunding's opinion, eight out of ten people who want to save something without permission do so for a "sense of superiority", and nine out of ten do not understand what they are doing at all.
Until now, Ji Yunding did not think that her mentality was to save the world. She just didn't like her precious peaceful life to be disturbed and didn't want people around her to die. Saving the world was her only way, so she thought about saving the world.
Therefore, she couldn't have any second-year feeling of being "betrayed by the world". After all, she didn't want to save the world, nor did she have any extra expectations of the world.
If you really want to ask, Ji Yunding can only give the answer that "it is actually very logical to become like this." And people who really understand what the world is like but still want to save the world are somewhat unreasonable in Ji Yunding's eyes.
"You've asked me this question before. It seems like you're the kind of person who would make the same choice even if you had to repeat it a thousand or ten thousand times."
Ji Liuxing replied with a bit of amusement and a slight sigh,
“It’s almost like an anchor… It’s incredible.”
"And the answer?"
Ji Yun is definitely not the type who can be easily fooled by a few nice words.
"Because it's very glorious. Don't you think being the strongest sounds cool?"
"Team leader, are you really not considering doing sales?"
The topic jumped too much, Ji Liuxing was slightly stunned, and just when he was about to continue, Ji Yunding continued to speak.
"You seem to know exactly what kind of people I'm most bothered to talk to and what kind of people I hate the most, and you deliberately gave this precise answer.
Considering that you have been able to convince me far more successfully than average in my memory, I don't think you are someone I find hopelessly stupid. On the contrary, to some extent, I identify with you.
I don't quite understand your enthusiasm for adapting to others, but my judgment of people is based on my overall observation of their behavior, not on a few words. After all, everyone is changeable.
As for the answer to my question, I am more inclined to believe that you are an incurable altruist. In other words, you seek value from others. "
"Student Ji Yunding, the psychological counseling room is next door, otherwise I will introduce you to the job there tomorrow."
Ji Liuxing joked as he pushed the door open and gestured for someone to come in.
"Wait for a moment here at Group 4. I'll go put Group 1's house number plate in a conspicuous place downstairs just in case."
"Back to the question just now, why do you want me to hate you?"
"You really can't be diverted at all, please spare me."
Ji Liuxing sighed helplessly and shrugged.
"Considering that you now seem to be a man with thousands of years of experience, I choose to admit defeat, and at the same time - no comment. I'm sorry, but I promise it's nothing important."
At this moment, Ji Yunding suddenly remembered something. She turned her head and looked out the window. She seemed to have seen a stranger coming towards her from afar.
Outsiders who shouldn't be in the school, Leviathan hanging high above, and...
"Gunshots on the rooftop..."
Ji Yunding looked at the crowd with a serious expression.
"Team leader, some of these people may be armed."
