Why do we have to modify the memories of ordinary people?
On the third day after the monsters on the Western Front withdrew, Feng Bugui chaired a meeting of leaders of the Third Industrial Island Special Investigation Team.
Zhou Zheng, who came to show his face as a routine, couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart when he heard the arrangements made by his superiors.
Logically speaking, when such a serious disaster breaks out, isn't it a good opportunity to explain to the public about demons and monks?
The task assigned to them at this stage is to carry out the second memory modification of ordinary people;
And according to what Captain Feng meant, there were also network information screening, dynamic monitoring of public opinion, etc., and a large number of departments were operating at the same time.
The existence of demons and gods in the world must be concealed.
Zhou Zheng looked at the reactions of his colleagues and found that they seemed to be used to this kind of thing.
This made Zhou Zheng decide to be on the safe side and not ask questions that looked like a novice at first glance. He could only suppress his doubts for the time being.
After I go back, someone will be able to inquire about it.
"Squad leader, you are asking why the Futian Alliance hides this from the general public?"
Xiao Sheng's room was filled with all kinds of strange "torture instruments". After hearing Zhou Zheng's question, Xiao Sheng walked out from behind his disc player and thought carefully for a while.
"Hey, squad leader, what you said is true, right! Why do they hide it from mortals, don't tell mortals about these monsters, and still have to spend all their efforts to modify mortals' memories?"
Zhou Zheng glared: "Brother Xiao, you don't have any exclusive news about the reincarnation of a general?"
"No," Xiao Sheng spread his hands, "I spend most of my time thinking about cultivation, and I haven't cared about these things since I got stuck. But there must be deep meaning in the decision from above to do this.
"In order to make everyone live a happier life? To avoid being worried all day long?
"It should be a similar reason, monitor."
"To cover up the truth just to make everyone happy, isn't it a bit neglectful...and it's a bit unjustifiable to spend so much manpower and material resources."
Zhou Zheng chanted softly:
"Brother Xiao, keep busy. Good guy, do you still want to go to the nightclub to slay demons?"
"Hehehe, it's just a personal hobby. Isn't this handsome? Yo! Friends here! Let me see your lovely hands!"
"handsome!"
Zhou Zheng gave a thumbs up, and before leaving, he thoughtfully closed the door for Xiao Sheng, thinking about whether to add a layer of sound insulation for him.
If Yue Wushuang saw this, she would probably roll her eyes to the rafters.
Zhou Zheng's second stop was Li Zhiyong's exclusive space - the basement on the first floor.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zhou Zheng, who came to the basement of the villa for the second time, felt inexplicably that the basement seemed much more spacious.
There are several bookshelves placed in front of the cement wall, with various books and jade charms placed on them. A couch is placed in the middle, and there is an 'Old Tou Le' rocking chair not far away.
When Zhou Zheng arrived, Li Zhiyong was sitting in the middle of the sofa. There was a curtain hanging on the wall opposite him, and a news recording was playing on it.
The dignified female host was broadcasting with great emotion:
"... Due to the impact of the tsunami, our city's underground sewage system was intruded by seawater, causing serious casualties and economic losses to our city. Now that the environment continues to deteriorate, the protective shield has become our last two lines of defense..."
Li Zhiyong raised his hand and pressed the remote control, and the picture on the curtain disappeared with a hiss.
"That's my answer," he said with a smile to Zhou Zheng.
"Don't you know either?"
"Squad leader, I'm just a casual cultivator."
Li Zhiyong's fair and ordinary handsome face showed a slight smile:
"When you want to know more, it means you have to bear more. You can only learn to properly control your curiosity, keep observing, summarizing, and draw your own conclusions instead of listening to what others say.
.
"Only you can find the so-called truth."
Zhou Zheng immediately felt that it made sense.
But this guy really didn’t say anything!
Yue Wushuang is a disciple of Yue Sword Immortal Sect, so she may know something, but Zhou Zheng did not go to the third floor to chat in order to avoid suspicion.
After returning to his room and sitting on his mattress covered with two layers of spiritual stones, Zhou Zheng took out his mobile phone. After hesitating several times, he clicked on the little fish avatar pinned to the top of his friend list.
The conversation from last night is still stuck in the dialog box.
After Zhou Zheng sent this question, his phone vibrated several times, and a cute, well-behaved, and dignified emoticon popped up in the dialog box.
'Gululu (Ao Ying): I don't know, I'll ask my eldest sister.'
'Zhou Zheng: Forget it, it's just that I'm curious. When my cultivation level is high, I should be able to come into contact with these. Now that I know it, it may only add to the annoyance.'
'Gululu (Ao Ying): Eh? Are you afraid of my eldest sister?'
Zhou Zheng smiled and typed a line of text quickly with his fingers: 'How can we say that it is fear for cultivators? It is just a little respect for the strong.'
'Here you go! I just finished the bedroom today!'
Ao Ying sent two videos showing off her wealth.
Zhou Zheng took a closer look, and his forehead was gradually covered with black lines.
Ah, this! She is really a little princess in a castle, and her bedroom is directly a hall?
The three-meter-square big bed looked very soft, with pink curtains hanging around it, and the five- to six-meter-long Huaqi covered with white jade, which made Zhou Zheng scream corrupt.
He thought for a moment, ran to the bathroom barefoot, and took a picture of the fish tank where Ao Ying had lived before.
'Wealth and luxury are nothing but the passing clouds. This small vat is your forever home. - Nicholas Motoyama.'
Well, it seems that this meme is a bit old. She has only been online for a few years. Can you understand it?
Zhou Zheng held his chin and thought for a while.
What he didn't know was that Ao Ying had obviously developed some associations and was currently holding a soft stuffed doll, turning over and over on her bed, laughing from time to time.
In the corner of the main hall, the Fourth Grandma Guixian and a group of pretty little maids looked worried at the same time.
What disease did His Highness contract in this mortal world?
…
In the evening, the setting sun shines through the windows and falls on the floor, creating an orange light and shadow.
"Well, cough!"
The little gray dog, the divine dog, was sitting on the coffee table, looking at the four people who were more or less reserved in front of him, and pointed at the landscape painting that it had just hung on the wall.
Xiaoyue kept thinking in her heart about how to cover up the existence of Li Tianwang Pagoda to prevent these little guys from questioning.
"I have already sent you, Team Leader Zhou, the specific instructions for how to use it. It is actually an ordinary moving formation, disguised as a landscape painting, that can transport you to a magic formation under the Immortal Bathing Center.
"This is a personal benefit I give you. I am also a senior who wishes to remain anonymous. I want to help you. Enter that room and you will enter an illusion. In it, your perceptions will be stretched and your feelings will be stretched.
Time flows slower.
"It's just like your usual dreams. Sometimes you just sleep for a short while, but the experience in the dream is very long."
Xiao Sheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Why don't you promote this formation quickly? What reincarnated immortals and ordinary monks lack is practice time."
"This," Xiao Yue coughed, "can only be used by four people. It would be good if you guys knew about it. The core of this formation is close to damage. Remember to keep this matter secret and don't talk about it outside."
"Understood," Li Zhiyong responded with a smile and glanced at Zhou Zheng, who was sitting quietly next to him.
Ah, I got it.
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "Instructor, I have a little question."
"You speak."
"Will this leave any hidden dangers on our path of spiritual practice?"
Zhou Zheng said seriously: "Maybe my idea is a bit strange. I always feel that there are no pure good things in the world, and things themselves have many sides."
"Nice question!"
Xiaoyue Gou grinned and said with a smile:
"The magic array has three main functions. The first is to lengthen your perception of time, which in disguise allows you to have more time for practice.
"The second is that it has the effect of refining and tempering the mind. If you need to fight against your opponent, you can look for some marks of heavenly generals in it. These marks have extremely rich fighting experience.
"The third thing is to absorb spiritual energy. This treasure... the magic array has a very good spirit-gathering effect.
"There is only one side effect. You can only feel your own way inside, but not the way of nature. So now, you can only stay in there for a maximum of twenty-four hours, which is two days and two nights, and then you have to come out.
Activities for two days, comprehending nature, and experiencing the heaven and earth are the foundation of spiritual practice."
Zhou Zheng nodded slowly: "I understand."
Xiao Sheng couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Why are you just giving us special care? This is a bit unfair to other people."
Xiao Yue said sternly: "Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng, don't always think about rejecting the organization's cultivation! Instead, think about how to make full use of these resources to strengthen yourself and respond to this respect! You may be able to break through the bottleneck inside!
Can you learn from the three people next to you?"
"Humph," Yue Wushuang raised her chest and raised her head. Her exquisite figure wrapped in combat uniform was quite eye-catching.
"Hey, okay, okay," Xiao Sheng said with two black lines hanging on his forehead.
Under Xiaoyue's guidance, the four of them started landscape painting, and their bodies transformed into four streams of light and merged into the painting.
Four figures suddenly appeared in the landscape painting.
Zhou Zheng soon discovered that this was not an illusory formation, but more like a fixed and real building.
The flow of time around him didn't seem to change at all, but he took out his phone and looked at it, and found that the seconds digits were beating very slowly.
Xiaoyue's voice sounded from all directions:
"There are a total of six layers here. I tried each layer once, and the time flow speed that can be extended is three times, six times, nine times, 12 times, 15 times, and 18 times respectively.
"This thing requires the strength of your souls. At this stage, Zhou Zheng, Yue Wushuang, and Li Zhiyong need to be on the first level. Xiao Sheng's soul is stronger than his own level and can already go to the second level to practice.
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, the exit is right behind you."
"Instructor!" Zhou Zheng said with a smile, "Can you create a mountain-bearing formation?"
Xiaoyue immediately said: "Yes, but you must bear the construction costs of the negative mountain array and the daily consumption of spiritual stones."
After saying this, it raised its paw and slapped itself in the mouth.
He is usually stingy when it comes to logistics arrangements. How many spiritual stones does it take for Brother Zhou to practice for 180 years? If Uncle Fu knows this, he will misunderstand that he is stuck with Zhou Zheng’s spiritual resources...
Oops! How could it be!
"Thank you, instructor!"
Zhou Zheng was obviously in a good mood, and his voice became much clearer.
Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, made seals with both hands, and exploded into a ball of fireworks, disappearing immediately.
When Zhou Zheng and the four of them gathered together in the 'illusion formation', they did not rush to practice, but retreated first.
"Let me assign tasks," Zhou Zheng said sternly, "Brother Xiao is looking for some meditation tools, such as a calming incense burner, or some meditation pills. I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down if I stay in there for too long."
"No problem, I'll contact my group of generals right now."
Zhou Zheng looked at Li Zhiyong: "Can Zhiyong create a formation to monitor the external environment? Or any other method will do. The entrance and exit are this painting. When we are practicing inside, safety outside is also very important."
Yue Wushuang suggested: "Then why don't we take turns going in."
"It's better to take turns to enter and act together," Li Zhiyong said solemnly, "The three of us can practice more beside the squad leader, which may have unexpected benefits."
"Huh?" Zhou Zheng's forehead was covered with black lines, "Are you using me as a halo release machine?"
"Although I can't say it's the same, it's pretty much the same."
Zhou Zheng raised his sword and poked Li Zhiyong in the ribs. The latter's body swayed like a fallen leaf. He easily dodged several times and was deliberately poked by Zhou Zheng to prevent the squad leader from losing his prestige and face.
Yue Wushuang asked: "Squad leader, what do I need to do?"
"You come and contact Captain Feng and arrange the attendance schedule according to our practice time."
Zhou Zheng certainly did not forget their responsibilities:
"From the outside time point of view, we have two days in and two days out. It is best to work together. If we go out for 48 hours a week, we should arrange it on two consecutive days.
"In this case, we can still have one day a week to meditate outside.
"Well, I will be responsible for contacting the reserve members of our team and telling her our next schedule."
"Thin!" Xiao Sheng gave a thumbs up, "Squad leader, you are too thin! There is no leakage!"
Yue Wushuang frowned and glared at him: "Don't think I can't understand that you are driving, I'm still here!"
Xiao Sheng couldn't help but be stunned. The confusion in his eyes didn't seem to be fake.
'She's always targeting me!'
One day I will be very angry and say.
…
Late at night, there is an abandoned gas station more than ten kilometers northwest of Longchen City.
Two graceful figures floated quietly on the roof of the gas station. The figure in front had silver hair and sat on the wooden handle of a lantern;
The girl in the back is wearing a one-piece gelcoat and always has a vague smile.
"Master, it seems quite difficult to break through the heart of the Ice Immortal."
"Yan'er," Bai Mengxian's voice was indescribably soft, "the matter of breaking the Taoist Heart has nothing to do with the level of cultivation, but to find her weaknesses.
"Longchen is still in turmoil at the moment, and Bing Ning cannot stay in seclusion for a long time, but this is a perfect opportunity to observe her."
"Can disciples go observe other people?"
"Huh?" Bai Mengxian's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her body tilted slightly, and she said to the air on the left side, "Going to find your little lover?"
"Master, I'm here."
Ye Yan took the initiative to move half a step and came right in front of Bai Mengxian.
After that, the master's squint became even more serious.
