Chapter 8: The Mirror Game III
Li Yunlong: "In other words, the police department has some internal information that is not allowed to be made public, which is really interesting. Amelia, do you think this case will end up in the end?"
Amelia replied without hesitation, "It will definitely be so!" Those incompetent people will only shirk responsibility, and in cases like this, they will pretend at the beginning, and they will be thrown aside in a few days, and finally thrown into the archives as unsolvable unsolved cases. ”
Li Yunlong: "Okay, Amelia, when the police give up, please help me collect the relevant information, so that I can enrich my database." ”
Amelia obviously didn't expect Li Yunlong to have this attitude, "Li, you don't plan to follow up on this case?"
Li Yunlong: "Of course, no!"
Amelia: "Can you tell me why?"
Li Yunlong: "In order to show a respectful attitude. ”
Amelia didn't quite understand the "attitude of respect?" to whom to show respect?"
Li Yunlong: "Of course, he is showing respect to the local forces. I'm just an outsider who has only just arrived here, and I have limited knowledge of the local situation. Even so, I know that there is a ruling class here, government officials, police, and people who are also on the mysterious side, and I don't have an official status endorsed by the federal government, so I can't do many things as I want, and this kind of respect is necessary politeness for me. "If you don't give face to others, how can you expect others to give you face, respect is mutual, and you often need to start from yourself.
Li Yunlong's answer obviously subverted Amelia's consistent impression in the past: "How can this be? Li, as an exorcist, shouldn't you be fearless to defeat the evil devil who caused Alice's tragic death?"
Li Yunlong sighed and spread his hands at Amelia, "Look, Amelia." First of all, my profession is not an exorcist, but a researcher of the occult. Secondly, even if they are exorcists, they have to eat, they have to dress, and they also need to find ways to maintain their lives, so exorcists are just their profession, not the whole of their lives. Besides, the victim Alice is a life, isn't the life of the exorcist a life? Just like the police in Los Angeles, they have the responsibility to deal with those criminals, but they have no responsibility to ensure that they do not harm the innocent in the process! This is normal law enforcement, there is no legal problem, and the police who shoot and kill the hostages will not be punished in any way, and the police officers in the movie who lay down their arms and give in to the criminals for the sake of irrelevant passers-by are actually unqualified police officers.
Li Yunlong's words were not good, but they made sense, Amelia had no way to refute them, so she had to try to make efforts from a different angle, "But Alice is still just a child!" She took out the photo of Alice showing a smiling face, and tried to widen her eyes, "Shouldn't this crime be punished?"
Li Yunlong took a deep breath and tried to adjust his expression to make himself appear as tall as possible, "Amelia, as a citizen, sometimes we need to believe in the abilities of federal government workers. ”
Amelia was silent for a while, raised her middle finger and gave it to Li Yunlong, and the last two people parted unhappily. It wasn't until she drove away from Li Yunlong's residence that Amelia was really relieved. Amelia was originally very confident when she came, although she was busy with work during the day, it was not difficult to take some time out of it to launch her own channels to collect some information about Li Yunlong, as a young and beautiful, professional woman with a successful career, there are never many men who want to hook her up through various means. Relying on her own wisdom and prudence, Amelia can deal with most of them, leaving a small number of difficult and ill-intentioned ones to rely on her own strength. Don't look at Amelia's good looks, her figure is a standard S-shape known as the devil's body, but in fact, Amelia's height is relatively tall among European and American women, in order to maintain a good figure, she has never stopped insisting on fitness all year round, and after engaging in journalism, she spent money to learn women's wolf defense, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and participated in a firearms club, and bought herself a pistol for self-defense. Amelia was still very confident in her tested combat effectiveness, so Amelia dared to come to the strange Li Yunlong's house alone after half past nine in the evening. In addition to wanting to know what Li Yunlong wanted to do, Amelia also had a little bit of caution about being bait, if Li Yunlong thought that she was a little woman who was easy to bully alone, she would personally let Li Yunlong taste the power of the uncrowned king!
The contact with Li Yunlong was smooth at first, but the situation was completely out of control after Li Yunlong proved that he did possess mysterious powers. As a news practitioner with a sharp enough response, Amelia understands that she has won the lottery, and she is excited that she is also aware of the danger in it, even so she still carefully carried out some temptations, the result is not very ideal, but it is not bad, she touched the satchel she carried with her hand, which contained the potion given by Li Yunlong, Amelia decided not to go home, and she had a few friends in the laboratory who quickly asked them to help analyze what this bottle of potion was!
Li Yunlong looked at Amelia who was driving away through the window, and didn't care much about the attitude she showed. Amelia took the potion she gave and accepted the reward she gave, although she was unhappy when she left, she didn't have any intention of refusing, she clearly wanted to continue to cooperate with herself, this kind of Western-style exchange made Li Yunlong feel very unaccustomed, even a woman put the intrigue in the open like this, is it really good? Besides, what is the use of her little bit of careful thinking, what is the use of hiding it?! In front of Li Yunlong's sensory control superpower, it is simply like looking at palm prints, and the performance of the seven emotions on the face cannot be concealed at all. Unless she can mentally devote herself to the acting role she has set, and let her body and mind fully enter the play, just like the old fritter Justin pastor, she can blind Li Yunlong's sensory control superpower from the outside, so that Li Yunlong can't easily spy on the virtual reality!
What Amelia didn't know was that she and Li Yunlong had crossed paths as early as early April. Li Yunlong has made a lot of efforts to improve his own strength, and now he has successfully mastered his own qi and blood power. The word power of qi and blood is commonly found in the mouth of people who practice martial arts, in fact, people often use it in practice, there are monks in Buddhism who write scriptures with gold ink and their own tongue and blood, and many people who practice swords in ancient times hold blood sacrifices or even human sacrifices, and there are more Taoist gates, Mr. Lin Zhengying's zombie film has seen it, draw talismans to sacrifice swords, and even in the process of casting spells, you often have to bite your fingers, using your own blood to cooperate, these are actually using the power of qi and blood.
When Li Yunlong was considering which way to take to enhance his own strength, he made in-depth thinking in light of his own actual situation. Neither Li Yunlong nor Tom Riddle is a top student, and his own ability is poor, and he has no money, no power, no background, and he can give up the road of developing science and technology. Tom Riddle is just a thug, and he has left little useful to Li Yunlong except for a lot of debt. Fortunately, Li Yunlong experienced the national qigong craze in the 80s, because of interest, he did invest a lot of time and energy, although he did not practice any big skills, at least in terms of theoretical knowledge, so although it was still difficult, Li Yunlong still chose the mysterious side as his development direction.
There is an old saying in my country: "Poor literature, rich martial arts, and cultivating the law to break the family." This sentence is very easy to understand from the perspective of resource consumption. If you want to change your fate, you need to invest in advance, and ordinary people have limited resources, even if they love their children, they can only afford such means as going to school, primary school, middle school, and university, which are still affordable for most families. Even if you don't have a little spare money in modern times, can you play fitness? There is a joke in Lao Mei that says that the people of Lao Mei like to have parties, but many of the guests at the party do not know each other, so how can we tell who is an elite person who is worth befriending and who is a poor ghost who has no value? After all, if you come to a party, even if it is out of politeness, you will not discount your clothes. The answer is very simple, depending on the body type! If you look tall and tall, but you are obviously fat, and you have a big head and a thick neck, this must be a long-distance bus driver! If you look at a well-proportioned figure, quick movements, and concentrated attention, this must be an elite person! Why? How can a poor ghost have the money to exercise and shape his body, and the rich man has money, and he also has the time and energy to care about his body shape!
A joke can be listened to and enjoyed, but the truth contained in it is not false. Just one fitness can divide people according to wealth, let alone further martial arts. It is said that there are slightly fewer people who may be contacted when practicing martial arts, and modern people know that the consumption required to train a professional martial artist is very staggering. That's not as simple as eating and drinking, it is a whole professional team including coaches, doctors, computer experts and a series of high-end talents, with this martial artist as the center of the service, eating, wearing, living, using, traveling, there are strict requirements in all aspects, there is no training ground for yourself, you are embarrassed to say hello to your peers when you go out, and the initial investment is higher than all the assets of many small companies, so it is said that Fuwu, this kind of consumption is not at all that ordinary families can take out.
