The atmosphere in the room was very mysterious. The two people sitting across from each other looked at each other, as if they were waiting for the other to show their trump card first.
This is the last and the last.
The Day of Judgment is approaching, and all the people involved have gathered. Even passers-by who are completely unaware of all the conspiracies can feel the strange and unpredictable atmosphere under the dome at this moment.
"Okay..." Xue Jianing didn't want to continue flirting with the old fox in front of her at this time.
"Let me put it bluntly, we have basically investigated clearly, and now it is just the final verification stage." Xue Jianing said and looked at the man in front of her. He was wearing a set of black pajamas embroidered with dark patterns and looked very lazy.
"The most untrustworthy thing in the world is probably a person's mouth... So, since you know everything, why do you come to me to check? Do you really think I will cooperate?" Zheng Beichuan looked at Xue Jianing with a smile.
Xue Jianing was very indifferent: "It's just a procedure."
"Oh? It's already this time, and you're still paying attention to procedural justice?" Zheng Beichuan couldn't help but laugh.
Xue Jianing couldn't laugh at all. She asked instead: "How much do you know about the 'guest'?"
Zheng Beichuan shook his head: "Not many."
"Then let's start with the 'guests' first." After Xue Jianing finished speaking, she took out a piece of information and threw it on the coffee table in front of her, and then the holographic projection projected the sorted information on the open space in the center of the room.
Zheng Beichuan said nothing.
"According to our investigation, 'guests' are not actually an old concept. Their earliest appearance should be in the 1990s, probably between 1989 and 1995." Xue Jianing said as she stood up and came to those people.
In front of the information, he raised his hand and clicked lightly, and an unattractive man was enlarged.
"This man's name is Zhou Chao, a native of Shaoxing. Before 1989, he was just a truck driver, transporting fabrics for a clothing company. He was originally just an ordinary person who could not be found after being thrown into a sea of people. However, he suddenly quit his job in 1990.
, left his children and wife behind and went to Tibet, never heard from again..." Xue Jianing said and threw the man aside, while more information was displayed.
"Ten years later, in 2000, Zhou Chao, who had disappeared for ten years, appeared in Xuzhou and turned into a big entrepreneur. Then he began to officially enter our field of vision. Of course... we did not start investigating from the beginning.
His, speaking of it, is more like a coincidence..." Xue Jianing said this, and she asked Zheng Beichuan: "How much do you know about the 'camp'?"
"not many."
"Then have you been to the 'camp'?"
"Been there once."
"how do you feel?"
"It's not good." Zheng Beichuan shook his head: "It's not a place that breeds hope. I hate that depressing atmosphere, but I have to say that the idea of establishing a 'camp' in the first place was a good one, and I shouldn't object to it.
.”
"Have you ever opposed the establishment of a 'camp'?" Xue Jianing asked.
"Um...this seems to have nothing to do with what you said at the beginning, right?" Zheng Beichuan reminded Xue Jianing that she was off topic.
Xue Jianing smiled bitterly and said: "No, I know exactly what I am talking about, but this story is really too bizarre. I don't even have the courage to convince myself now."
.”
Zheng Beichuan remained silent.
After a while, Xue Jianing seemed to choose to accept it. She continued: "Zhou Chao is just a clue, but without him, we really can't find out everything smoothly. He is like the most inconspicuous thread, but it is enough
Lift off the entire fig leaf."
Zheng Beichuan still didn't say a word.
"We...just start from the 'camp'?"
Zheng Beichuan nodded.
“Who originally took the lead in organizing the camp?”
"Yougege." Zheng Beichuan replied.
"Which one?" Xue Jianing asked again.
Zheng Beichuan glanced at Xue Jianing in surprise, as if he didn't expect that Xue Jianing had even investigated all of this. He suddenly smiled: "The one who belongs to this era, or... the 'good' one."
Xue Jianing understood: "It is completely consistent with the content of our investigation, so that means... you also have a share in the establishment of the 'camp'?"
"No, it was actually my grandfather who participated in the initial establishment of the 'camp'. He was the investor, and I only learned later that this 'camp' has always existed." Zheng Beichuan sat upright, lost in memories, and then put all his
Everything you know is explained.
…
"'Camp'? What is that place?" Zheng Beichuan felt strange when he heard this word for the first time.
"For the time being, it can be regarded as an organization established by a group of guys who want to 'destroy' the earth." The person who answered the question was Zheng Beichuan's father, Zheng Beihai.
"What? Destroy the earth?"
"Well, it's not really about destroying the earth. It's about destroying the earth through imagination, so as to prevent the earth from being destroyed by these crises. Do you understand what I say?"
Zheng Beichuan thoughtfully said: "Oh? So... this is actually an organization that protects the earth?"
"Well, almost, but in fact they are not that great. They only protect human beings."
This is the first time Zheng Beichuan has heard of "camp", and he roughly understands what "camp" is from his father's mouth.
…
The "camp" is located in the mountains. From a distance, it looks like an ordinary village. Even the road to the village is full of potholes.
Zheng Beichuan could not imagine that a group of the most imaginative "lunatics" in the world gathered here.
The reason why he thinks these people are "crazy" is because Zheng Beichuan simply can't figure out why someone would be so stupid as to give up a great future and go to such a place where nothing matters, and suffer.
There were people waiting at the entrance of the village. After seeing Zheng Beichuan and his son, the man who looked like the village chief and an ordinary farmer smiled happily. It was obvious that he and Zheng Beihai knew each other, because they hugged each other as soon as they met.
Zheng Beichuan felt a chill.
"Is this your young master?" The rough man who looked like a farmer turned his attention to Zheng Beichuan after "making out" with Zheng Beihai.
Zheng Beichuan was very polite: "Hello, uncle."
Zheng Beihai introduced with a smile: "Your uncle Fan Qi was a first-class sniper back then, but he chose to come here after he retired from the army. It's a pity that the country has cultivated you."
Fan Qi?
Zheng Beichuan was shocked. He couldn't imagine that the man standing in front of him at this moment, who had been so roughened by country life, could be the strange man in the military who had been number one in the world?
Fan Qi didn't care at all, he laughed loudly: "What's a pity or not? In today's world
It's very peaceful, and we're not going to fight. I still say the same thing, if the country really needs me, I will be the first to return to the army."
Zheng Beihai stopped chatting with him and started talking about business: "Okay, I'm here this time to see the big guys, and to bring Beichuan to see the world, and listen to your teacher's teachings, so that I can do something for the future.
Prepare."
Fan Qi nodded: "Well, okay, but unfortunately, my husband has been away for a while. If you had told me earlier, we might still be able to see each other, but now..."
Zheng Beihai was a little disappointed when he heard this, but only for a moment: "Well... that doesn't matter, I'm here already, just treat it like I'm here to say hello to everyone."
"Okay, let's go, it's just lunch time."
At Fan Qi's greeting, Zheng Beihai and his party entered the village.
Along the way, Zheng Beichuan saw many young faces, but without exception, they were all dressed simply and looked rural.
Along the way, Fan Qi introduced the young people she met to Zheng Beichuan, and Zheng Beichuan became more and more surprised until he finally became numb.
These young people are not ordinary people, and some of them are rising stars who have attracted much attention. However, they have now chosen to leave the city, or in other words, leave society and come here.
What exactly is the charm of this “camp”?
In the evening, Fan Qi took Zheng Beichuan to a house in the north of the village, next to the mountain col. There, Zheng Beichuan met two men and a woman.
Their names are Huang Xing, Zhan Zimu and Qingshui Yunzhu.
Huang Xing is the eldest. He recently celebrated his thirtieth birthday. He was originally a top student in a prestigious school, majoring in sociology. However, he dropped out of school after meeting that "sir" seven years ago and came here. He is already here.
Lived for nearly ten years.
Zhan Zimu is second, he is just twenty-four years old this year. Like Huang Xing, he was originally a leader in a prestigious school, but he did not come here at the invitation of "sir", but came here with his girlfriend. He is considered a love-struck type. It is said that
He comes from a good family, but his grandfather became very ill due to his "willful" behavior. I don't know what he wanted.
As for Qingshui Yunzhu, she is just eighteen years old. She is somewhat similar to Zheng Beichuan. She came here under the care of the big family. Her purpose is similar to Zheng Beichuan's. She was sent here to train the next internal successor.
But Qingshui Yunzhu has lived in the "camp" for five years, and in terms of "qualifications" alone, he is longer than Zhan Zimu.
Zheng Beichuan is not the kind of person who is afraid of social interaction. On the contrary, he is very good at communicating with strangers.
Therefore, when they met for the first time, Zheng Beichuan quickly became involved in the conversation of the three people. Only as the conversation deepened, Zheng Beichuan gradually realized the novelty and terrifying logic of these people's thinking, and gradually realized the existence of the "camp"
true meaning.
…
"I still remember that the first topic I talked with them was 'sheep-herding children.'" Pulling away from the memories, Zheng Beichuan looked at Xue Jianing and said: "Our argument at that time was that a child whose ancestors had lived in the mountains for generations, like
How do you evaluate his life when he goes to herd sheep like his father did?"
Xue Jianing actually had enough information, but at this moment, she wanted to hear Zheng Beichuan say more.
"When discussing this topic, the four of us played four roles. Huang Xing is the father of the child, I am the sheepherder, Zhan Zimu is the child in the city, and Qingshui Yunzhu is the reporter. The four of us have to enter the roles.
And through conversations with different identities and situations, we will systematically compile a personality appraisal chart." Zheng Beichuan said with a wry smile: "Does this sound meaningless?"
