Chapter 23: That Thing
If it is real, it is also illusory, and the moon in the clouds
It seems that there is also an empty water sky
Ask me who I was when I was alive
The wind was silent, and there was no word
……
However, it was said that the fat man led Ito's uncle and nephew to stay at the Chunshan International Hotel, exchanged text messages with Li Zhongming, and had just completed the task of "burning after reading", put on his pants, and heard someone knocking on the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info looked through the cat's eyes, and saw two people standing outside the door, none other than the charming flight attendant on the morning flight, and the mysterious old man sitting next to him!
This doesn't make sense at all?
Slowly, this flight attendant is very likely to fall in love at first sight because of the extraordinary characteristics of my "heartthrob", and made a personal promise, so she specially asked for leave with the team, and she was desperate, and followed all the way to Chunshan for two or three hundred kilometers - hehe, I'm sorry, do you have tissues? Let me wipe my saliva first...... However, the old man with the white beard who knew how to tell fortunes, because of his bad idea, made me feel uncomfortable in my pants for a day, why did he come with him?
At this moment, in room 8413 of Chunshan International Hotel, the camera turned, like a montage, and a sonorous and powerful background music sounded——
"The fat man who has spring,
"You are mighty!
"Galloping spring dreams,
"Like a gale!
……
You flowery, greedy dead fat man! Are you embarrassed to be shy, your heart is rippling, and you have the courage to dream of spring? What is the "heartthrob", "love at first sight, promise by body"? Immediately, the female ghost and the old ghost outside were dipped in chutney, and there were no bones left!
"Knock knock" - three more knocks on the door, dragging the fat man back from the self-absorption of looking up at a 45-degree angle, like a roll of toilet paper falling into the flush toilet, soaked with cold panic and helplessness. He seemed to hear the white-bearded old man outside the door say a few words to the flight attendant, but he couldn't hear it clearly through the door panel, and then, there was a crisp sound of "da da da" on the door panel, like a woman's long nails knocking and scratching on it.
He stared at a pair of rat eyes, as if he saw that the stewardess who was enough to make people die of blood, crossed her slender thighs in black silk and stuck up, her plump breasts were pressed into two suffocating balloons, her right hand was propped up on the thin bee waist, and the jade fingers of her left hand flicked and knocked on the door; Seeing that there was no movement, the stewardess turned to the side of the white melon seed face, raised a delicate eyebrow, and pasted a bright eye with black mascara on a cat's eye, just like a beautiful executive of a bank, scanning the iris and verifying the password against the vault access control; The red and white skirt was filled with an S-shaped scented body, swaying and writhing on the brown-red door panel...... That feeling, like a bewitching, greedy snake spirit, spitting purple and black snake letters, spying on tonight's prey!
The fat man trembled and sighed and regretted: I knew that I would look outside before agreeing, but I had already shouted, and the person outside who didn't know if it was a person or a ghost must know that I was in the room...... What to do? What to do! He didn't forget to look back at the room, intending to find a handy guy to use as a weapon. However, for the sake of safety, this five-star hotel will never put eighteen kinds of weapons in the guest rooms in advance, even if the baseball bat, wrench, folding bench and other artifacts of folk fighting are not found. Helpless, he could only be full of sadness, silently unplugged the plug, and crossed his hands to manipulate the slim lamp on the desk - I don't know how much money he has to lose, regardless of him.
Although the air conditioner is strong, the fat man holds a table lamp with a thin waist and round feet, and unfortunately lies on the gun, but he is already sweating. In case the two outside run out of patience and kick the door open and rush in, shouting for aunt and uncle, hugging the baby, where should I escape?
In the midst of his thoughts, the clicking sound on the door panel suddenly stopped, just like a lively TV with a full screen, which was turned off by someone who was cold and cold.
The fat man squeezed the lamp, swallowed and spit, strengthened his courage, and leaned on the cat's eye again to look out-
Weird? Nothing outside the door! The lights in the corridor were still dim and dim, but the stewardess and the old man who had knocked on the door just now were gone.
It's gone? Well, gone...... The stewardess twisting her body like a flower snake, and the mysterious old man with a white beard and white shirt are gone.
How is this possible!
Am I looking at it wrong?
Is there no one outside the door? Is it all just an illusion?
No, if there was no one, then who knocked on the door just now? I heard the knock knock twice, and I scratched it like a cat's paw for a long time, and I also answered it!
Could it be—the knocker...... Not human?
Thinking of this, there was already a cold sweat behind the fat man, like a tile wall in the bathroom. He recalled the words in the ear of the white-bearded old man as he waited to leave the cabin:
"There's something on this plane that follows you all the time......
Could it be that this is a play of "thieves shouting to catch thieves"? That "thing" is none other than this old man?
One question mark after another, smashed on the fat man's hard skull like a crockpot, and it rang out. This not only made him doubt everything that had happened from early this morning to the present, from the flatbread fritters of the old Qin Tou's house in Shangjing, Brother Ming's sudden phone call, to the flow of ants in the subway station, the warm fragrance of the beautiful flight attendant on the plane and the secret pinch, to Ito's flickering eagle eyes, the underwear brother who was busy putting on just now, the story of the fourteen or fifteen hours, and even a little worried about his imperfect but okay life, as well as the authenticity of this life. He closed his eyes and patted his head again, hoping that he would be able to quickly break free from these illusions and unravel the mysteries.
We tend to do the same thing, day after day, over and over again, saying similar things, and believing with certainty that this is the way life is.
In this casual and habitual inadvertentness, we always overlook a lot of details. And it is precisely these details that are the key to the future.
Let's first freeze the fat man with a mushy brain in room 8413 of Chunshan International, and replay the experience of most of the day frame by frame, especially before getting on the plane, some abnormal details:
First, in Lao Qintou's breakfast shop, the flatbread fritters were "slimmer" than usual, Lao Qintou seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and uncharacteristically ridiculed and complained, and was later interrupted by his wife.
Second, the fat man was ridiculed by Lao Qintou, and a shadow of a depressed ghost was reflected in the back of the sweat, making him taste like chewing wax, and there was a lamentation and self-deprecation of the early birds and insects.
Third, Li Zhongming called strangely, where did he get the fat man's mobile phone number? Judging by the content of the conversation, it should be provided to him by Sijiwang's headquarters in Beijing.
Fourth, the fat man should have known Li Zhongming more than ten years ago and formed a deep friendship, what made him leave and change his mobile phone number?
Fifth, why did Li Zhongming emphasize on the phone that the fat man must pay attention to safety on the road?
Sixth, after hanging up the phone, why did the fat man walk into the subway station almost blank? At the entrance of the subway station, why did you hit a spirit?
Seventh, the content of the subway station light box advertisement, or a woman scratching her head and posing, or a clown-like star.
Eighth, when the fat man was squeezing flesh-to-flesh in the carriage, his mind was dizzy and messy, and it was all swearing.
Nine, a classic game "Snake" kills the boring time of the ride.
Ten, the next thing is that the fat man boarded the plane, ate, slept and slept, and then saw the rain and went crazy, came to a small sexual encounter, counted the extremely accurate palmistry, believed in a strange suggestion, and took off a senior underwear. Note! He felt as if the flight attendant had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
11. When the fat man went crazy on the plane, among the passengers who watched or despised him, there was a white-skinned, blonde, wax-like international friend, as well as the bald head in the back row and the woman with unkempt hair and rolling eyes next to him, all of whom were on the same plane, and they were all suspected of committing the crime at the scene.
Twelve, the white-bearded old man said that the fat man seemed to have been hit by the "Peach Blossom Tribulation", and he was wearing an old-fashioned silk shirt and carrying a yellow cloth bag.
If it is said that "there is something on the plane that follows you all the time", then in the time and space field of the above twelve articles, everything that the fat man has experienced and encountered is suspicious.
So, which one is the biggest suspect?
The answer is: every one is, but none of them.
……
The human brain is wonderful.
In the past, there was a saying that only about 10% of the brain is currently developed, and about 90% of the rest, i.e., the vast majority, is still undeveloped or undeveloped.
There was once an American film, called "Super Body", in which he imagined a blonde weak woman - played by the goddess Scarlett Johansson - who was deceived by her boyfriend and used as a human drug trafficking tool, but suddenly changed, was stimulated to the potential of her brain, and had superpowers; Moreover, as her brain development continues to deepen, her superpowers have also been upgraded step by step: from breaking away from gravity and flying on walls, to being able to transform at will and control other people's minds, and finally the whole person disappears into the transparent air, without a trace, but everywhere.
This sci-fi blockbuster starring the hot goddess has a tense plot and tight rhythm, which makes people tense in all kinds of ways, and provokes a group of audiences to be enthusiastic and addicted, but there is still a lot of controversy in the academic community about the above statement that the brain is "only 10% developed".
Through clinical monitoring of cerebral cortex radio waves and a large number of experimental investigations, it has been found that the neural activity of the human brain is fully covered, and there is no such thing as 90% of the brain that has not yet been developed.
Differences are differences, but one thing has been recognized by all parties, that is: the brain has different functional divisions, when we study, exercise, play, sleep, not the whole brain, but only a part of the functional partitions are working, and the other divisions are "free of war" hanging high, can be lazy to be lazy, can rest although rest.
For example, just like a CPU, the central processing unit of a computer, under normal circumstances, such as browsing text and processing small programs, only a small part of the operation is running; And when running several large programs at the same time, or performing complex calculations, the CPU will be at full power and the temperature will rise.
At the same time, the human brain is complex.
In the streets and alleys, barnyard officials often hear some strange stories, such as who has a serious illness, and after recovery, he can speak a language that he has not learned at all; After being missing for a while, one day suddenly came home, but it was like a different person; Who else is there who is talking nonsense, crazy and crazy all day long...... Most of these unexplained strange phenomena are classified as "hysteria" in medicine, which is called "evil spirit" in traditional Chinese medicine, and in popular terms, it is often referred to as "ghost obsessed mind".
What is the mind?
Western medicine believes that the heart is a blood pump and does not have the function of thinking, so it is difficult for them to understand how the so-called "heart" of the Easterners has human thoughts and consciousness at first. Isn't that a "brain" thing?
In fact, the "heart" mentioned by the sages of the East is not only a heart, nor is it a brain, but goes beyond the tangible definition of an organ and refers more to the soul of a person. Different from the Western style, the traditional Eastern theory, whether it is medicine, psychology, or theology, adds the intangible concept of "mind and body" to the study of "brain and body", that is, the so-called "mind and spirit for the body, brain and spirit for use", which is also one of the foundations and tricks of Chinese kung fu. Of course, in recent years, some scholars have put forward the "three-body theory of heart, brain and body" on this basis, which roughly means that a person can be decomposed into the "three bodies" of mind (soul), brain (brain) and body (body, including heart), and produce the "three forces" of heart, brain and physical strength, and the three bodies and the three forces are interactive and organically connected.
- "Mind and body" is the consciousness of the vacuum, the nature of the human mind, that is, the soul and spirit.
- "Brain and body" is the carrier of thinking and perception, and it is also the CPU that directs the words and deeds of the body.
- The "body" is a tool for people to obey consciousness, convey feelings, and realize eating, drinking, lazing, laughing and scolding.
The "three-body problem" is indispensable, otherwise there will be problems:
- There is only the brain and body, there is no heart and body, and there is no "spiritual light", even if the limbs are developed and the prime of life is strong, it is not a complete person, and even if it is not a human being at all.
- There is only the heart and the brain, and the normal functions of the body are missing, which is a physical disability.
- Only the mind and body, without the command and coordination function of the brain and body, is an intellectual disability.
In the vast world, all living beings, how many people really understand the internal relationship of the "three-body problem"?
Perhaps, because of this torrent of materialism and drifting with the current, most of us have the first type of problems, leaving behind the "brain" and "body" that are constantly evolving and upgrading from generation to generation, leaving behind the "heart", losing faith and belief, and becoming a group of cattle and horses coolies who spend all day with empty thoughts, toiling and running, and "making wedding clothes for others", and even reduced to a group of eagles and dogs or minions who are used as tigers and bullies?
……
(Passerby A: Don't talk nonsense, make pancakes!) Oh no, tell me what the hell happened to the fat man? Author: OK! )
……
In fact, the answer is very simple and easy to understand: that "thing" is none other than the fat man himself.
For example, our vision, about the principles of imaging.
The three-dimensional scene (length, width and height, with perspective and depth of field), through the optical refraction of the lens of the eyeball, the image formed on the retina of our single eye is a two-dimensional plane (only length and width), and the image observed by the two eyes must be quickly "reprocessed" by the brain to transform into a three-dimensional visual experience. Moreover, the things we see will have different psychological feelings depending on the mood at the time. That's why when we look at the world with one eye, we don't have a sense of perspective; It is also the reason why the same thing or the same scene can see two realms when falling out of love and being in love. Therefore, strictly speaking, what we see is not the scene itself, but a mirror image that has been processed by the brain and rendered by the mood. Therefore, seeing what you see is not what you see, but "seeing by heart".
Early in the morning, the fat man was anxious and restless since he went out. Like the irritable ghost weather, this bad mood is like a "thing", like a shadow. After that, he experienced the ridicule of the old Qin Tou in the breakfast shop, which added to the frustration; When Li Zhongming called, he recalled his memories again, remembering the story of love and hatred more than ten years ago, as well as the "she", which produced complex emotions of remorse and joy; After that, I experienced the congestion and noise of the subway airport, and the boredom of waiting for the train, which made me even more irritable...... It can be said that this series of "evil"-like states is completely densely planted by the negative energy "inner demons" that the fat man continues to accumulate. As for the "Peach Blossom Tribulation" mentioned by the white-bearded old man, he saw his unforgettable unrequited love, so he used "amorous but ruthlessly annoyed" to enlighten him. It's a pity that the fat man is completely enchanted, and he can't get out, and even mistakes the similar-looking flight attendant for the "she" ten years ago, and also understands the casual reminder of the profession "be careful" and the unintentional action of pressing on the arm as all kinds of scheming and ambitions, even after staying in the hotel, he is still thinking about and fantasizing about beautiful women knocking on the door.
So, even if the above can make sense, there are three questions in the end: What does it mean for the white-bearded fairy to teach fat people to take off their underwear? Also, Why did he help the fat man? In addition, since the fat man fantasized about the flight attendant as an old lover, how could he imagine the scene of those snake spirits and demons later?
Take off your underwear, this should be the "attention transfer method" in psychological diagnosis and treatment, it's too professional, I'm afraid that the officials will fall asleep, so I won't bother to be verbose. The second question is, does it take a reason to help a person? The last one, that is the fat man's gradual sobering up and getting rid of his own demonic fantasies, to put it bluntly, the beautiful flight attendant after completing the various obscene tasks of nostalgia for old lovers and sexual fantasies, limited to the fat man's shameful heart and law-abiding excellent quality, was gradually demonized.
The camera switched, only a "pop" sound, the fat man was lifted from the static state, raised his hand to give himself an ear scraper, and scolded in his mouth: Look what good things you are doing!
Carefully placing the lamp, he calmed down again, woke up a pair of small, focused mouse eyes, took a deep breath, grabbed the doorlock handle, and confidently opened the door.
Under the dim light, the long corridor, with no end in sight on both sides, is very similar to the ancient tomb road that was flooded by the wild sand of Lop Nur that year.
Right in front of him, it seemed that there was a chubby boy with a comb on his hair.
