Chapter Twenty-Three: Brainwashing
"We come from all over the world, gathered here, nothing more than a word of wealth, although there is a saying, wealth and danger in seeking, but I do not agree, I think the real wealth can be created by the spirit, by the soul of people, with spiritual wealth, there will be the power to change our material life."
In the video, Liu Baogu stood in the living room, talking to 20 young men and women sitting around, his kind face with a smile, and his words were soft, those men and women listened very seriously, some of them were still holding white prayer beads in their hands, and they didn't know what texture was made of them, and they were chanting words in their mouths while listening, and they didn't know if they were repeating Liu Baogu's words or saying something else.
The next part of the video is full of Liu Baogu's speech, and the content of the speech is similar, basically warning these young people to be down-to-earth, to be kind, and to exercise their mental and soul power in daily life.
The three of them didn't understand what it meant at all, and then She Caixiang began to play the videos one by one, watching them seriously.
Upstairs in the villa, Maffei grabbed a few tires from the garage and rolled to the kitchen door, blocking the secret door.
Sikong Yan felt very strange: "Aren't you looking for something sturdy?" Why bring tires? ”
Ma Fei wiped the sweat off his face: "If the door is closed suddenly, there will be a buffer room, in case the force is too great, won't you just crush the cabinets that have been moved?" ”
After hearing this, Sikong Yan suddenly realized: "It's a good way, but you really have the strength, one person can roll a few tires." ”
Ma Fei leaned to the side and wiped his sweat: "Are you not married?" Or is it divorced? ”
Sikong Yan was stunned: "How do you know that I have been divorced?" ”
Ma Fei smirked: "Look at your virtue, even a woman will divorce you." ”
Sikong Yan understood what Ma Fei meant: "I am a man, my role is to make money, and of course women do these household jobs." ”
At this moment, Liu Baogu's voice suddenly sounded in the house, Ma Fei and Sikong Yan were stunned, and Ma Fei immediately asked, "Who is talking?" ”
Sikong Yan's face turned pale: "It's my godfather Liu Baogu." ”
Ma Fei immediately followed the sound to look for it, and finally found that the sound came from the stereo in the living room, she squatted there and listened to Sikong Yan, and found that what Liu Baogu said was all inexplicable words.
Of course, at this time, they didn't know that these sounds were from the video played by the Underground Villa Torture and others.
Maffei looked at the villa: "What the hell is going on?" Why is your godfather's voice ......"
Speaking of this, Ma Fei remembered something, and took out the phone to call the torture, but the phone didn't work at all, just like the torture thought, as long as they walked into the secret door, the phone would lose signal.
At this time, Sikong Yan was completely stupid, sitting on the sofa, looking at the stereo, listening to the sound from inside, and didn't know what was going on.
When She Caixiang played the video of the fourth set of numbers, Liu Baogu had already changed into a gray robe, which was similar to Mr. Teacher during the Republic of China, and the men and women sitting in the living room were also different, they were also wearing long shirts, and their expressions were more pious than before when they looked at Liu Baogu.
Chen Taidong shook his head: "No, these 20 people are not a group of people from the 20 men and women in the previous videos, absolutely not." ”
Torture and She Caixiang also nodded, of course they could see it, because when they watched the video before, they remembered most of the people's faces in detail, and a few of them were very "distinctive" because they looked very "distinctive", which people could remember at a glance, but in this video, those people were gone.
The torture paused, and he pointed: "Pay attention, they all look a little bloated, but they are not fat, but they are wearing other clothes inside the long gown, and in the last few videos, those people are wearing very thin, and most importantly, in the second video, there is a pot of epiphany in the living room, and it has already bloomed, which shows that the time of the second video should be the time from summer to the beginning of autumn, because epiphany will only bloom during that time, so the time I am watching now, it should be winter, and it is not a group of people, continue to watch." ”
In the video, Liu Baogu stood in the middle and said word for word: "You are me, I am you." ”
The men and women around him repeated in unison: "You are me, I am you." ”
Liu Baogu said again: "You and I, the world, and even the universe are one. ”
The men and women below continued to repeat his words, reading them very neatly, word for word, and their tones were also very neat, but the torture technique noticed that these 20 men and women even had their expressions so uniform, they were all sluggish, and their eyes were completely locked on Liu Baogu's body, and they never left at all.
Liu Baogu asked them to get up, they slowly got up together, let them sit, they sat down neatly, let them lie down, and these 20 people each found their own place to lie down.
"To find yourself, you must first see yourself." Liu Baogu also lay on one side, closed his eyes, and said word by word, "I will now teach you how to use your spiritual power to sublimate your soul, let your soul see yourself clearly, and then use your soul power to bring yourself back to the shell." ”
As he spoke, Liu Baogu stopped talking, and the video instantly became extremely quiet.
She Caixiang frowned and said, "Out of body? What is this old man pretending to be a ghost? ”
"Brainwashing!" Chen Taidong and the torture technique said in unison.
She Caixiang said: "Brainwashing? Why? MLM organizations? Or is it a cult? ”
Chen Taidong took a deep breath and said, "This way should be a cult. ”
She Caixiang asked, "Why?" Why did Liu Baogu make a cult? ”
Xingshu shook his head: "Watch it, it seems that this video should be left by Liu Baogu, if I guess correctly, the video here is divided into three parts, it should be Liu Baogu's three different stages of controlling these so-called disciples, but the video uses three different groups of people to show the three stages, as for what the purpose is, and who left these videos, I think, it is not Sikong Yan's father, or Liu Baogu himself." ”
Chen Taidong said: "It seems that it should be related to Qinglian Village where Liu Baogu and Liu Xiangui went back then. ”
She Caixiang asked, "Why do you make this speculation?" ”
Chen Taidong explained: "When the five of them entered Qinglian Village, only Liu Xiangui and Liu Baogu survived in the end, Liu Xiangui was unwilling to mention in detail what happened after entering, and people became a little crazy, but Liu Baogu, who was the least courageous, had nothing to say, and later went to the north to make a fortune, the key thing is that he suddenly came back and built such a strange villa, and it was so close to Qinglian Town." ”
Xingshu walked around the study, thought carefully, and then said: "I estimate that Qinglian Town was not so big in the past, maybe when he built the villa, there were not so many houses around here, and the town was expanded later, and the workers who built this house should not be local, or rather, the workers who built the underground villa we are in are not local." ”
She Caixiang stared at the monitor: "Let's watch all the videos first." ”
She Caixiang played the next video, and it was exactly the same as the analysis of the criminal technique, and the third part of the video was really another group of people, this group of people was completely the walking dead compared to the previous group, and all of their movements were uniform, and even when eating, eating a few bites of food, and shaving a few bites of rice, the movements were almost the same, and the torture and others were dumbfounded.
The most terrifying thing is that in one of the videos, a certain believer knocked over the pot of oil while cooking, and the oil splashed all over his legs, he actually stood there and looked down, and then turned to look at the others, without speaking, with a complete "I was wrong" expression on his face, without the slightest pain.
His legs were all rotten and squeaking and smoking, but the others simply ignored them and just buried their heads and continued to do their own things, and no one stepped forward to help, and no one showed the slightest expression of surprise.
Chen Taidong, She Caixiang and Xingshu were completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene, they stared at the screen, not knowing what to say, let alone what method Liu Baogu used, or what "spell" to turn this group of people into this appearance.
"Alright, let's play the next video." The torture technique came back to his senses, and while She Caixiang was still in a daze, he took the mouse and clicked on the next video.
In the next video, the oil-splashed man is lying in the middle of the living room, his upper body is covered with a blanket, his lower body is bare, and his legs are all rotten.
The remaining 19 cultists were divided into four groups and stood in four different directions, and Liu Baogu slowly walked from outside the painting after a minute, still wearing the gray robe and holding a cane in his hand, walking slowly towards the man's head.
Liu Baogu stopped in front of the man's head, glanced around, and said, "He's going home." ”
The others responded in unison, "Go home!" ”
Liu Baogu asked, "Excuse me, where is his home?" ”
The rest of the people raised their right hand with a clenched fist, placed it on their heart, and said in unison, "Our hearts." ”
Liu Baogu asked again: "Excuse me, where is he from?" ”
The disciples all closed their eyes and did not speak, Liu Baogu also closed his eyes: "He is from the universe of all things, and we are all from the universe of all things, we are actually just spirits floating in the universe, using our unique spiritual power and soul power, we came to this strange world, found a body that can be inhabited, and waited for the day when we can go home, the only thing we can connect with the universe of everything is our heart, when the body rots and cannot be repaired and replaced, it is time for us to go home, We should be happy for these brothers, and we should send him on his way home with smiles and laughter. ”
Saying that, Liu Baogu laughed, laughed out loud, and the others also began to smile, and then the smile gradually turned into laughter, and the 20 people, including Liu Baogu, laughed, but the laughter was very mechanical, and the laughter came out of the stereo, echoing in the upper and lower villas, making the three of them and Ma Fei and Sikong Yan shudder.
Sikong Yan listened to the laughter, and almost stood up and ran away from the door.
At this moment, Liu Baogu put away his smile, slowly raised his head in the laughter of others, looked in the direction of the surveillance, and stared at the camera for a few seconds before lowering his head.
At that moment, Xingshu, Chen Taidong, and Ma Fei all noticed that Liu Baogu's face seemed to have tears on his face.
Ma Fei immediately fell back, pointed at Liu Baogu's face and said, "Pay attention, is he crying?" ”
Chen Taidong nodded: "It's like crying, what does he mean?" Forced yourself? ”
"Maybe there are other people outside of the surveillance range." Xingshu stared at the screen and said, "In addition, it is basically certain now that these videos were deliberately filmed, and the one who left this part of the video should be Liu Baogu himself." ”
She Caixiang was puzzled and asked, "But, why did he do this?" ”
Chen Taidong said: "Judging from the act of leaving the key, it should be to leave clues for Sikong Yan, but why did he leave clues for Sikong Yan?" ”
"Keep looking." ”
She Caixiang continued to play the video, and in the next set of videos, it was replaced by another group of people, one of whom also had a leg injury, and it was broken, and even the bones were punctured out of the flesh, but the injured person was still lying there expressionlessly, and the eyeballs of his eyes moved up and down, left and right along with Liu Baogu's gestures.
The other 19 people gathered around, humming some strange song softly, clapping their hands, as the rhythm became faster and faster, their clapping efforts became faster and heavier, and finally at the moment when Liu Baogu's gesture stopped, these people suddenly frantically pounced on the injured person and began to bite, and the instant picture became extremely cruel and bloody.
She Caixiang didn't hold on for ten seconds, then covered her mouth and ran out to vomit, although the torture technique and Chen Taidong's stomach was also churning, but in order to find out what was going on, they had to watch hard.
Those people bit the injured alive like beasts, and the whole process lasted for about ten minutes, but Liu Baogu did not step forward, but stood on the side of the corner and watched from afar, during which he deliberately raised his eyes to look at the camera, with a sad look on his face.
After the bite was over, the 19 people got up, held hands around the corpse that had been bitten to pieces, and said something there, and then lined up neatly, walked to Liu Baogu one by one, lowered their heads and said something, and then slowly left.
Only Liu Baogu and the bitten corpse were left in the living room, at this time, Liu Baogu raised his eyes to look at the camera again, and after watching it for five seconds, he turned around and disappeared into the picture.
She Caixiang stood at the door, touched her chest, and asked, "Is it finished?" ”
Xingshu shook his head slightly: "There are a few videos in the back, although these videos are not long, they are all in HD quality, so the single file is very large." ”
She Caixiang shook her head: "I can't watch it anymore, you see." ”
Torture sat down and clicked on the video behind it, which was full of the 19 people cleaning the living room, cleaning very carefully and carefully, and then entering the bathroom and taking turns cleaning the bloody corpse.
The last video is that this group of people sent countless black plastic bags into the basement, and then left, standing at the door of the basement with their heads bowed and waiting, at this time Liu Baogu appeared, glanced at the camera again, and walked down.
The picture ends here, and the monitor goes pitch black, but soon another voice comes -
Cultist: "Sir, will each of us be able to return to the universe?" ”
Liu Baogu: "We originally existed in the universe, if we don't exist, we can go back, there are countless possibilities in the universe of all things, even if you return to the universe you thought existed, maybe it was just the appearance." ”
Cultist: "Sir, how many ways can we go back?" ”
Liu Baogu: "Only by following the guidance can you find the way that truly belongs to you and suits you." ”
Christian: "Sir, what are we taking with us, and what should we take with us?" ”
Liu Baogu: "When we come, we have spiritual power and soul power, which is the only thing we are worth having, so when we leave, we only need to follow the guidance, because spiritual power and soul power will always be with you." ”
……
Next, the sound was full of questions and answers like this.
Chen Taidong was silent for a long time, and affirmed: "Cult, Liu Baogu must have organized a cult. ”
Xingshu shook his head: "This kind of thing must be reported to the police, judging from the video alone, at least three people died, in fact, I don't know how many died because of this, just according to one batch a year, there are at least four or five batches of people, the key is that these people who survived, where did they go?" Are they all dead? ”
She Caixiang covered her forehead: "It's so disgusting, I can't watch it anymore, I'll find some water to drink." ”
Chen Taidong nodded, watched She Caixiang leave, and then said: "Organizing a cult is actually nothing more than to satisfy personal desires and desires for control, but most of them are for money. ”
Xingshu shook his head: "I have to ask Sikong Yan about Liu Baogu's details again." ”
Torture immediately walked to the secret door of the kitchen, and shouted to Ma Fei to the top, Ma Fei stood at the secret door when he heard the sound, and listened to Torture talk about the staircase mechanism, after thinking about it, he still decided not to go down, and let the torturer find other clues in the lower villa, and then come back, after all, if the secret door is locked, at least there is her answer on it.
The torture had to return, and he acted separately with Chen Taidong and She Caixiang, and carefully rummaged through all the rooms in the underground villa, at this time, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
When it was close to six o'clock in the morning, Chen Taidong shouted from the basement at the bottom: "Torture, come quickly!" Rewarding! ”
Torture and She Caixiang immediately rushed to the basement, to be exact, it should be the basement of the underground villa, which was extremely damp and dark, and there were many rusty, bloodstained iron chains placed inside.
Chen Taidong stood in the corner of the wall and said: "This is like a prison cell, maybe it is used to imprison those who have not been brainwashed successfully, although it has been cleaned, but the things that have been used are left, and at the bottom of the corner, there is a line of words." ”
Chen Taidong said, handing the magnifying glass to the torture technique, and he held a flashlight next to him.
Xingshu leaned down and looked at it with a magnifying glass, and under the root of the wall, there should be someone with a fingernail or something else, writing a name "Li Fengxia" crookedly, and a mobile phone number on the back.
The torture technique filmed it with his mobile phone, got up and said, "No other clues?" ”
Chen Taidong shook his head: "No, let's go up first, after a busy night's work, we should eat something, and then rest." ”
Xingshu turned around and returned to the study, just as he was about to turn off the phone and remove the hard drive, the conversation between Liu Baogu and the disciples in the stereo suddenly broke off, and then another strange voice came: "In the northeast direction, at the foot of the mountain behind the Wu family, head towards the north Guanwu Mountain, enter the mountain to find the wild apple forest, and then enter the mountain stream." ”
This passage has been repeated, repeated at least ten times and then broken, the torture has been quickly recorded on the mobile phone, and then the hard disk was removed, and then Chen Taidong and She Caixiang carefully walked down the stairs of the mechanism and returned to the villa on the ground.
