301. Chapter 298 New 0272 The so-called truth in the world
As soon as he finished speaking, two more figures rushed out from the door.
The gunshots rang out continuously again, but they were obviously much sparser than before, and there were also a few slight clicks of firing pins.
Unfortunately, they were still fooled this time, and what fell on the ground were only two sets of nightgowns covered with bath towels.
Two feint shots before and after had basically consumed all the bullets in the police's guns. Li Mengnan would not give them a chance to reload. While throwing a quilt again, his body hid in the shadow of the quilt and slid close to the ground.
Got out.
This time, the police outside obviously learned the lesson. When they saw something flying out again, they were stunned and did not shoot immediately.
But they are destined to pay a heavy price for this wrong judgment.
A humanoid figure shrouded in black robes appeared out of thin air behind Li Mengnan, and a crystal-clear playing card slowly rotated in a white glove on his chest.
It was a card showing Minnie's appearance, the Ace of Hearts - [Scarlet Feather].
Wait...what the hell is the Ace of Hearts? Shouldn't it be the Ace of Spades?
However, Li Mengnan did not want to think about why the cards had such strange changes at the moment. All his thoughts were concentrated on his hands, and dozens of peacock tail feathers wrapped in green light shot out a dense rain of light.
With such an almost face-to-face distance, he didn't need to consider the possibility of missing or missing the shot.
"Ah! What is this! It's sucking my blood!"
All the policemen who were shot in the body immediately noticed something strange about their bodies. No one bothered to load their bullets and shoot. They grabbed the ends of the peacock tail feathers that were gradually turning red, roaring loudly and trying to pull them out of their bodies.
It's a pity that no matter how hard they try, those peacock tail feathers remain motionless as if they have already taken root in their bodies, constantly absorbing blood from their bodies, dyeing the colorful drop-shaped feathers into a beautiful red like flames.
The flickering green light gradually dimmed and disappeared in Li Mengnan's hand.
He found that he did not need to continue attacking. All the policemen in the corridor in front of him had completely lost their ability to move. Their faces were all withered, and their bodies were rapidly withering and decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like deflated dolls.
The peacock tail feathers stuck on their bodies became increasingly bright and dazzling red.
When the shrinkage of the corpses reached the limit, all the peacock tail feathers suddenly turned into balls of flame at the same time, completely igniting the corpses and gradually forming a sea of fire.
The thick smoke from the burning corpse triggered the hotel's fire sensor device. For a moment, the alarm bells in the entire corridor rang loudly, and the automatic fire-fighting equipment overhead began to erupt. Many disheveled guests rushed out of the room, panicking under the command of the hotel service staff.
Evacuate along the fire escape route.
"You...did you do all this?" Although Wu Ansu bent down and picked up a police hat that was dropped by someone unknown.
Although she didn't know what Li Mengnan actually did, facing the body of her colleague who was theoretically here, it was a little difficult for her to accept emotionally.
Although she also knew very well that this only happened in the conscious world and was not a real attack on the police and murder.
"We should leave before the second wave of attacks arrives."
Li Mengnan did not answer, but just picked up a nightgown that was not completely wet and put it on Wu Ansu. He put his arm around her shoulders like an ordinary tenant, and quickly blended in with the crowd of people taking refuge.
…
"call--!"
Wu Ansu took a breath of air and suddenly opened his eyes.
In front of me is still the slightly old room.
If her hand hadn't been tightly held by Li Mengnan's, she would have almost suspected that she had just had a bizarre dream.
Of course, in a sense, it was actually a dream.
"You're back? Doesn't it feel exciting?"
Li Mengnan obviously woke up earlier than she did. At this moment, he was lying less than twenty centimeters away from her face with his head tilted and staring at her.
Wu Ansu sat down on the edge of the bed, slapped his face hard, and said in a daze: "I think I need to calm down."
No matter who walks between the two worlds of consciousness and reality like this, he will not show how calm he is.
Li Mengnan did not disturb Wu Ansu, but leaned against the door frame and quietly lit a cigarette for himself and smoked it leisurely.
"How long has it been?" Wu Ansu asked gently.
"The brain's thinking speed is faster than what we feel, but this speed is not a fixed value... The two of us probably stayed in Ju Xiaoxing's thinking for two or three seconds just now."
It is difficult to calculate such a short period of time, and Li Mengnan only made a rough estimate.
"You don't look good." Li Mengnan poured a glass of water for Wu Ansu.
Wu Ansu thanked him, took the water glass in his hand, stared at the slight ripples on the water, and whispered: "I don't know why, I have a very strange feeling in my heart, but I can't tell what it is.
What a feeling, I feel so confused..."
"Because you have seen another world that ordinary people can't see, you have begun to shake the world you lived in in the past. You don't know which one is the real reality, and you don't know whether you should believe everything you see with your eyes at this moment..."
Wu An always had such a reaction, and Li Mengnan didn't find it strange at all.
Human beings have always believed that "seeing is believing" and stubbornly believe that what they see is the so-called "reality". However, when someone presents to them another world that is different from the definition of "reality" but is "visible and tangible".
In front of this, human beings will naturally start to think about what is the real "reality".
Is the world where the body resides "real"? Or is the world where the spirit resides "real"?
Some people may think that it is really important to clarify this issue? I think, therefore I am, as long as you know that you are living in the current world, isn't it enough?
Is this question really unimportant?
Ever since humans learned to think, they have been troubled by three questions - who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I want to go?
Before finding the correct answers to these three philosophical questions that have stumped countless people, the premise must first be to determine the reality of the world.
If you can't determine which is the real world you live in, then these three thoughts will be meaningless.
Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly. When I open my eyes, I am Zhuang Zhou. When I close my eyes, I am a butterfly. So am I Zhuang Zhou or a butterfly? Which world do I really exist in?
If what you can see, hear and feel is the so-called "real", then which one is the real "real"?
In fact, even Li Mengnan has not figured out this profound philosophical issue.
However, he is too lazy to do that kind of brain-burning useless exercise. He is not a great monk, and he does not intend to achieve the ultimate enlightenment of Shattering the Void.
"Probably...that's it." Wu Ansu had to admit that Li Mengnan was right.
Li Mengnan smiled nonchalantly, put his arm on her shoulder and said, "Don't think so much, just go back and watch soap operas, lie down in bed and take a nap."
The best way to adjust to this sense of time and space confusion caused by traveling between two worlds is to experience more of the real real world and rely on time to dilute the traces left by the conscious world in the heart.
This is how human thinking works. When they cannot discern the reality of the world, the length of time they live will become an extremely important basis for their judgment.
Even illusionists like Li Mengnan do not dare to stay in the illusions they create for too long, otherwise they will easily be trapped in their own conscious world once they exceed the time of living in the real world.
"Mengnan..."
"Um?"
"You never seem to care about many things. Is it because of this..."
Having such a strange experience, Wu Ansu suddenly found that he seemed to understand many things that he had never understood before. Many of Li Mengnan's unbelievable actions seemed to have reasonable answers in an instant.
"once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking."
Li Mengnan just sighed softly and rarely said anything more, but Wu Ansu saw a trace of loneliness in his eyes that he had never seen before.
"Okay, let's not talk about this... Now that the identity of the criminal has been clarified, is it time to arrest him next?"
Li Mengnan rubbed his hands vigorously on his face, which was pretending to be a little stiff, and it returned to that bitch face that needed a beating.
"Yes." Wu Ansu nodded, took out his mobile phone and dialed the police station, "Hey, it's me. The identity of the suspect in Ju Xiaoxing's case has been locked. He is Aina, the counselor of the victim's department. To prevent the suspect from escaping, please
Arrest immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Wu Ansu picked up his coat and said to Li Mengnan: "Mengnan, thank you for today's matter. Without your help, I don't know when this cunning Aina will be caught, and there may be innocent people in the future."
The girl was victimized..."
"You're making yourself public when you say this, aren't you? Which one of us is following which one?" Li Mengnan shook his eyebrows provocatively.
"Don't talk nonsense to me. Public affairs are public affairs and private affairs are private. I would like to express my gratitude to you for your help in this case. But what happened yesterday... Humph! Don't expect me to forgive you so quickly!" Wu Ansu
He shook his head awkwardly.
Huh? She actually learned the tsundere mode. This girl is really changing more and more...
Li Mengnan shrugged indifferently, put on his coat and stood up, saying: "Let's put this matter aside for now... Are you going to arrest Aina? I'll go with you."
Wu Ansu frowned and said: "It's our police's job to arrest the suspect. Why are you going there? Although it's on the way, it's working time now, so it's not convenient for me to take you there. You'd better find it yourself when you get downstairs.
Let’s take the car back to school.”
Although Li Mengnan was already very familiar with her colleagues in the police station, the more so, the more Wu Ansu didn't want to be gossiped about in secret.
"It's not that I don't believe you and your colleagues, but this Aina... you can't deal with him alone." The corners of Li Mengnan's mouth turned up slightly.
…
When the two of them arrived at Tunghai University by car, the police arrest team was already in place.
In order not to alert others, no one was driving a police car or wearing police uniforms. They were all dressed in ordinary casual clothes.
"Police Officer Wu."
"Sister Su."
As soon as Wu Ansu parked his car, members of the arrest team immediately gathered around him.
"Do you have a warrant for your arrest?"
"Bring it."
"Then why don't you arrest them?"
Wu Ansu's face darkened, expressing dissatisfaction with the efficiency of the arresting team.
"Sister Su, this is really not our problem." The members of the arrest team looked at each other. One of the young police officers walked up to Wu Ansu with a face of embarrassment under the constant exchange of glances from everyone: "When we get there,
, he immediately went to the faculty apartment of Tunghai University to arrest him, but unexpectedly failed. After asking other insiders, he learned that the suspect named Aina had gone to the female dormitory to check the dormitory not long ago...
"
"Bed check?" Wu Ansu subconsciously looked at the time on his phone.
College life was already a long memory for her, and she had long forgotten that there was such a thing as bedtime checking.
"Sister Su, it wouldn't matter if it were somewhere else, but it is a college girls' dormitory after all. We are a group of old men. Let's not talk about whether it is appropriate to go there at this time. Just entering it will make us a fool.
We can see that there is something wrong, this is inconsistent with our original secret arrest plan."
Wu Ansu nodded. The apprehension team's concerns were indeed justified. The noise of a large number of men appearing in the girls' dormitory was too great. It was difficult to guarantee whether the suspect would get wind of it in advance.
And even if the news can be blocked perfectly, there are too many irrelevant people there. Once the suspects take the opportunity to take hostages and confront the police, it will probably be an extremely troublesome matter.
"Look, I'm right, you need a non-police officer."
Li Mengnan walked out of the car at some point, stepped on the bumper and sat on the hood and said lazily.
"What are you going to do?" Based on Wu Ansu's understanding of Li Mengnan, she knew that this guy must have already had an idea if he dared to say that.
"It's very simple - I went directly to find Aina and told her that there was a boy in the department over there in the boys' dormitory who wanted to commit suicide. As a counselor who specializes in student work, Aina would definitely rush over to take a look and wait for her to be deceived.
Go downstairs and listen to me throw a cup as a signal. You guys who are ambushing around will swarm up and then hahaha..."
The more Li Mengnan talked about it, the more he felt that this action was quite impressive. As expected, it was too low to fight alone, and the best way was to lead the younger brother.
Wu Ansu and the members of the arresting team couldn't help but have black lines on their faces, and selectively filtered out the following part - they even threw a cup to show off, and returned the favor with an axe. Brother, do you think this is the Hongmen Banquet, or go to the meeting alone?
ah?
"Do you have any doubts about this plan?" Wu Ansu said in a deep voice.
"I have a personal opinion." A member of the arrest team raised his hand, "Even if he is a student of our school, letting a boy enter the girls' dormitory to look for someone is still likely to make people suspicious. Why don't we just find a girl downstairs in the dormitory?
Go up and find someone for us?"
"because……"
"I can answer you this." Li Mengnan took the initiative to explain to Wu Ansu: "Because the target you want to arrest this time is not an ordinary criminal. He is a very skilled hypnotist who can influence you unknowingly.
Think, change your behavior.
If we randomly find someone to help us execute this plan, with the other party's hypnotic methods, it will be easy to detect our instructions behind the scenes, and there is a high chance that the entire arrest operation will fail. Only if I execute this plan can I ensure that the other party's hypnotic induction
No flaws will be revealed..."
Wu Ansu nodded and said that everything Li Mengnan said was true, which made the other members temporarily dispel their doubts.
It was now close to the dormitory access control time, and the huge campus was almost empty. It was empty and deserted, but it also provided considerable convenience for the arresting team to conduct a hidden ambush.
After everyone had set up an ambush downstairs in the girls' dormitory, Li Mengnan deceived the dormitory aunt at the gate with some sweet talk, and swaggered upstairs like a king patrolling his territory.
As lights-out and bedtime approached, the girls' dormitory building was bustling with activity. Girls carrying toiletries could be seen everywhere in the corridors, walking in and out between the water room and the dormitory, joking and playing with their companions from time to time.
Probably because he wore more clothes in winter, Li Mengnan's appearance did not cause much commotion among the girls. Most of them looked at him up and down with curiosity, wondering why a boy suddenly appeared in the building at this time.
Li Mengnan was also not interested in looking at the unattractive autumn clothes and autumn trousers, and trotted straight to the top floor without stopping.
Looking around, there was no sign of Aina in the colorful corridor. When Li Mengnan was about to find someone to inquire, he unexpectedly met Le Youyou who had just returned from washing in the water room.
"Oh my god! Li Mengnan, why are you here? You scared me to death!"
When she first saw a boy appearing in front of her, Le Youyou was startled. Only when she saw that it was Li Mengnan did she feel relieved.
"I suddenly realized that I couldn't sleep without taking a look at you every day. So - I'm here." Li Mengnan started to talk with a serious look on his face.
"Tch, it sounds like it's true. Do you want me to send you a photo some other time..."
Le Youyou narrowed her beautiful eyes. Although she knew that the other person was just teasing her, she still felt inexplicably happy to see Li Mengnan before going to bed.
"There is no need for photos, because your voice and smile have long been imprinted deeply in my mind, in my dreams, in my heart, in my singing..."
"It seems that sounds and smiles are generally used to describe dead people, right? Could it be that my Chinese teacher died early?" Le Youyou curled her lips and rolled her eyes at him, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, it's late at night, you come to our girls' dormitory
Why are you here? Do you want to do something bad?"
"If I wanted to do something bad, why would I come here? It's so convenient to go to the women's bathhouse - if you enter, you don't have to take off your clothes; if you exit, no one will dare to chase you after running out of the door." Li Mengnan expressed his strong opinion on Le Youyou's doubts about his character.
of indignation.
"That's true, are you here to find someone?" Le Youyou thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only possibility, "Is it that beautiful girl named Minnie?"
"Oh, I'm not here to see her, I'm here to see the counselor of our department. It is said that she is checking the bed on your floor... Have you seen her?"
