Chapter 6 The Mirror Game I

Pastor Justin stood at the door and hugged every believer who left, and some even said a few more words. When it was Li Yunlong's turn, Pastor Justin opened his mouth after hugging, "You are welcome to the service, my brother." If I'm not mistaken, you're here for the first time, right?"

Li Yunlong was really a little surprised, although the church is not big, but Li Yunlong took a look just now, there are 153 people who participated in the ceremony this time, even if they are more familiar with their own parish believers, considering that there are several activities in the church on Sunday, the number of believers who come to participate in the worship service must be more than 400, this pastor Justin can be sure that he is the first time to participate in the event, which shows that he is very responsible for his work. "That's right, Pastor Justin, my name is Brooke Lee, and this is my calling card. As he spoke, he took out a business card of his own, handed it over, and took the opportunity to invite, "If Pastor Justin has time, please have a meeting, I have some questions I want to ask you." ”

Pastor Justin thought for a moment, "No problem, I'm glad I can help you." Please wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes. Pastor Justin moved quickly, Li Yunlong only waited for less than ten minutes, he had already changed into civilian clothes, and walked out calmly, "I've kept you waiting." How about we go to the conch restaurant? It's not far in front and the environment is good. ”

Li Yunlong: "Of course, Pastor Justin. "The Conch Restaurant is really close, and under the guidance of Pastor Justin, two people walked to it in less than five minutes. From the outside, the restaurant is a few years old, but inside it is very spacious, the TV on the wall is playing the news, and although it is close to noon, there are more than 1/3 of the seats in the restaurant. Li Yunlong and Pastor Justin found a relatively empty table around them and sat down, ordered something to eat according to their personal preferences, and Li Yunlong paid for it.

However, Li Yunlong's purpose was not to invite Pastor Justin to dinner, as soon as he saw that the two of them had eaten almost, Li Yunlong put forward his own suggestion straight to the point: "Pastor Justin, as a researcher of occultism, I personally have a considerable interest in all unknown mysterious things and phenomena. I just moved here and don't know much about the situation here. If you can help me in this area and provide me with enough relevant information, I am willing to donate some money to the church in my own name!"

Pastor Justin "Brother Brooke, how much are you going to give?"

Li Yunlong...... I didn't expect you to be a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, so practical: "How about $200?"

Pastor Justin: "This kind of information involving unknown mysteries is quite rare, and even the police department will not have as many as I have. ”

Li Yunlong: "$300." ”

Pastor Justin "I've been here for six years now and I'm sure no one knows this place better than I do. ”

Li Yunlong: "$350." ”

Pastor Justin: "I have some materials left over from previous pastors. ”

Li Yunlong: "$400." ”

Pastor Justin didn't say anything else, just smiled and looked at Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong took out $400 in cash from his pocket and handed it directly to Pastor Justin, who counted and accepted the money very carefully, then took out special tools from his body, issued a receipt to Li Yunlong, and accepted Li Yunlong's personal donation in the name of the church. "I need some time to tidy up, and you can come to church the day after tomorrow morning. ”

Li Yunlong: "Happy cooperation!" After the meal, the two walked back to the church again, and after a simple hug, they went their separate ways. Li Yunlong got into his Ford pickup truck, straightened his hair in the rearview mirror, and did not rush to start the car to go home, but recalled the process of his contact with Pastor Justin.

In Li Yunlong's opinion, Pastor Justin does not have any major problems with his appearance, which does not mean that he has a gentle appearance, although his appearance is also very good, what Li Yunlong is talking about here is his external performance. Human beings have their own physiological activities, the manifestation of emotions is not only mental, but also physical, such as anger, sadness, and joy, these emotions will cause physiological changes, even if the conscious suppression is not expressed, the physical reaction caused by physiological changes is also a very clear indication for Li Yunlong. There are studies in psychology that are devoted to this aspect, applied to criminal investigation, magic, and many other aspects, and there are also many studies in the occult, for example, many of these aspects are borrowed from mind reading. In terms of practical application, many experts and professors who have studied psychology for many years are probably not as strong as Li Yunlong, and Li Yunlong can easily steal the emotions under their surface and put himself in an advantageous position, but this time, Li Yunlong hit a wall with Pastor Justin. It's not that Pastor Justin doesn't have ordinary people's physiological reactions, but that Pastor Justin has kept his physiological reactions, which are closely related to the spirit, at a relatively stable average for a long time through long-term practice. This situation is very annoying to Li Yunlong, you are always so half-dead, how can I judge your emotional changes?

In the final analysis, Li Yunlong's ability is too weak, and in the absence of direct physical contact with Pastor Justin, the information that can be collected through sensory control of superpowers is limited, and the role that can be played is of course not great, after all, it is necessary to find a way to strengthen his own strength is the right way.

Li Yunlong crossed his fingers and calculated that the plan to build his own social circle needed to be divided into three steps: local police, local Christian pastors, and local journalists. Li Yunlong has already gone to the local police station to communicate, and it is estimated that the approval will be passed soon, and when the time comes, he will move around a lot, at least he can be familiar. The local Christian pastor is Pastor Justin, and you can come to the event once a week after getting the information from him, so you don't need to get too close to him. As for local reporters, they still need to find opportunities, but Li Yunlong believes that this kind of opportunity will soon be delivered to himself, after all, this is Los Angeles, Li Yunlong is not picky, whether it is a newspaper reporter or a TV reporter, or a reporter from a news website, even if it is a freelance journalist, it doesn't matter, Li Yunlong just needs someone to lead him into this circle, and Li Yunlong is not worried about this huge number of practitioners.

But in fact, this opportunity only came three months later, and the main reason for this result was Li Yunlong himself. got the information given by Pastor Justin, and the files of the police station to provide assistance, although it is not first-hand information, but such a large amount of information is enough for Li Yunlong to be busy for a while, plus Li Yunlong has to try all kinds of ways to improve his own strength, time suddenly became tense, and he refused to take the initiative to take action, and the matter of making friends with reporters and entering the relevant circle naturally dragged on.

It's the end of April now, close to the summer season that the Hollywood film industry says, the publicity and distribution of many big movies have begun to exert force, and some movies that think they can't compete with those blockbusters have begun to take advantage of this opportunity to occupy movie theaters, and Li Yunlong, who has been living in his nest for a long time, also plans to change his lifestyle, and go out more during the day. The provincial self always ran out in the middle of the night, and saw a lot of ghosts and charms in the night in Los Angeles, which made me feel a lot darker.

This morning, Li Yunlong drove out to go to Venice Beach for a walk, and noticed that there were many people stopping to watch, and he could see that many policemen had set up a separation zone there and were busy with their work. It is close to Rumpu Avenue, not far from the police station, and the house looks like a wealthy family, and the police make such a big disturbance that is a human life. Li Yunlong found a place to park his car and ran over to join in the fun, but at this time, reporters had already arrived, set up long guns and short guns, skillfully occupied a good position, and waited for the police spokesman to come out to explain the situation. In broad daylight, this is not the celebrity residence of Beverly Hills, and even the most daring reporters are reluctant to challenge the authority of the police when they are not sure of the newsworthiness. Taking advantage of the time, the reporters began to take the opportunity to interview onlookers, and Li Yunlong mixed in with the crowd and listened for a while, probably figuring out what was happening.

The accident was the Wesley family, a family of three who were doing well, their father was an executive of a materials company, their mother was a Hollywood agent, and they had a beautiful daughter, who was just 13 years old this year. Until last night they were living their own happy lives, and in the morning the mother found that her daughter did not come to eat breakfast on time, and went to her daughter's room, but unexpectedly found that her daughter had died tragically. It is said that the screams at that time alarmed all the neighbors in the vicinity. Mr. Wesley called the police in time, but as long as you look at the fact that the police have not come out to explain the situation until now, you know that something must be in trouble this time!

Li Yunlong noticed one of the female reporters, judging from the logo, she belonged to KTLA TV, although she did not belong to the five major TV networks in the United States, she was also a local TV station in Los Angeles for some years, and Li Yunlong knew her - Amelia, a well-known news reporter of KTLA TV. Li Yunlong squeezed to the front of the crowd after three turns and two turns, and beckoned to Amelia when he saw the opportunity.

Amelia had just finished interviewing a bystander, and without getting any valuable information, she noticed that Li Yunlong was waving at her, and out of journalist intuition, Amelia picked up the microphone and decided to continue the interview. Contrary to Amelia's expectations, Li Yunlong, who took the initiative to greet her, stretched out his hand to block the microphone, saying that he refused to be interviewed, and leaned forward slightly on her stunned kung fu, pressed her ear and whispered, "It's tiring to deal with two men!" Amelia was slightly surprised when she heard this, and the first thing that came to mind was that Li Yunlong wanted to threaten her, although she was a little surprised that her little secret was suddenly revealed, but Amelia was not afraid of this threat. Lao Mei broke out in the 60s, and Westerners have always been more open in terms of female chastity, and it is nothing new for a woman to have multiple boyfriends. Although Amelia is 25 years old this year, she is not married, even from an ethical point of view, at most, her little secret is exposed, whether it is her reputation or her work, it will not have much negative impact, so Amelia is just surprised and not afraid!

Without waiting for Amelia to react, Li Yunlong took a step back and stood up again, took out a business card of his own and handed it over, "Miss Amelia, if you are interested, you can come to me, I believe that my method can provide you with a little help." Amelia almost subconsciously took the business card handed by Li Yunlong, and watched Li Yunlong turn around and leave in a hurry, disappearing behind the crowd in three or two clicks.
