"Many philosophical books show that the universe itself has no meaning to exist. They all try to tell us how to find meaning in a meaningless world. Unfortunately, obscure content is not very friendly to people who do not specialize in philosophy, so half-understood personal interpretations have led to the prevalence of nihilism today! They try to use rigorous logic to interpret the world and the human beings who exist in it, but behind the rigorous logic is the coldness of steel machinery, and the soul that is confused and has nowhere to place. "

In the mobile phone video, a man talks eloquently, the blue sky and white clouds dot behind the sun, and the breeze ruffles his fine hair, making him look like a bird soaring in the sky, looking so free.

"Humanism and rationalism tell us that nothing is absolute authority, and that man himself is an ordinary being. In the end, the conclusion is that 'everything is allowed'; , 'Nothing is meaningless'; The reason why most people are normal now is because of the power of consumerism. That is, we are buying happiness. While we know in our hearts that these are just vanity, we are constantly striving to pursue them. Every time I dream back in the middle of the night, I ask myself, what is the meaning of all this? Looking at the garbage pushed by big data every day, as well as the irresponsible false and exaggerated news from the media, and thinking that they know the corners and corners of the world, what is left in the end? "

The man who spoke to the camera looked calm, and there seemed to be an invisible deep pool and ancient well under his eyes.

It's a peace of mind, an alternative brightness that reflects everything in the world.

"Stop talking nonsense! When does it start? You're jumping, huh? "

"Everybody's gone. A grandstanding liar. "

"You're not scared, are you? You can't regret it, right? "

One by one, the barrage was faithfully restored, and the screen full of abuse and cynicism showed the hot popularity at that time.

"Don't think about it, there's no hurdle you can't overcome. And don't go too far. Do you think it's fun? "

"What kind of Virgin is here?"

"That's right! Don't say you didn't enter here to see the excitement. "

"You're really a crow laughing at a black pig, I don't know how dark you are."

Occasionally, one or two barrages of goodwill floated by, but they were quickly buried by other insults, and eventually developed into a quarrel.

Zheng Ming saw the barrage reflected in the man's eyes in the video.

The man did not show any change in his expression in the fiery atmosphere of the festival-like celebration in front of him, as well as the quarrels and abuses that made people laugh and cry. He just had a serious and serious expression as always, and sighed softly to the camera.

"When the person who remains well-intentioned is forced to remain silent to protect himself, when the person who remains sane decides to be out of sight in order to avoid meaningless disputes...", the man squatted for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled: "Oh, forget it. I've learned from him. "

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the audience who were busy typing and arguing to come back to their senses, the man took a deep breath, took a step and jumped up.

The camera was firmly grasped by the man, and it was also thanks to this man, although he was a little deformed by the strong wind, he still maintained a calm face and was faithfully recorded into the camera.

From the slightly blurred background, you can see the windows of the floor that are constantly skimming, followed by a loud bang before the frame stops.

This video comes to an end and automatically jumps to the next one.

From the perspective of the picture, Zheng Ming predicted that this should be a video taken by a passer-by with his mobile phone. In the picture, the gray-brown stone road was stained red by blood, and the man who had fallen beyond recognition, and the broken white bones were faintly visible, and he was lying in a pool of blood at this time.

The man's name is Lu Ye, just like Yang Xinhui introduced, he is an off-campus person. Coincidentally, this man's name was the same name and surname as the signature on the notebook that Zheng Ming saw at his aunt's house before.

"The same is a counselor. Maybe it's the same person? "

Thinking like this in his heart, Zheng Ming clicked on the previous video again. However, Lu Ye in the picture remained calm and indifferent from beginning to end, and his mental state was very stable and normal. It doesn't look like he's suffering from a mental illness that is too serious to think about.

Just as he was wearing headphones and repeatedly reversing the previous video, suddenly a shadow solemnly covered the phone screen.

Zheng Ming judged from the shape of the shadow that someone had appeared on the other side, so he turned off the video, took off the headphones and looked up.

It was a man who looked to be in his twenties, with neat hair, a square look, and a tough silhouette. At this time, he was sitting opposite Zheng Ming in the direction of the sun, smiling shallowly at him.

Zheng Ming turned his head and looked around. It's still early, there aren't many people in the library, and there are a lot of empty seats around, so there's no reason to go out of your way to share a table.

As if sensing Zheng Ming's puzzled gaze, the man took out a ballpoint pen and brushed something on the book and pushed it in front of Zheng Ming.

[Hello. My name is Zhang Yu, and my name is Xuanyi. 】

Biaozi originated in the Shang Dynasty, prevailed in the Zhou Dynasty, and later formed a system. Until modern times, it was still used by many people in intellectual and cultural circles, but after entering the modern era, it was rarely used by ordinary people except for everyone in intellectual and cultural circles.

Zheng Ming's heart moved when he saw the pen handed over, and he looked at the man opposite again, but the paper and pen handed over by the other party wrote down the doubts in his heart.

[Hello. What's the matter? 】

[I see the name of the book on your desk.] That's why I took the liberty of bothering. There are very few people who read this kind of book now. 】

Seeing the text handed over by Zhang Yu again, Zheng Ming glanced at the book lying quietly on the side.

The cover of the book is unusually simple, with the beige skin printed on the top left of the five large characters "Being and Nothingness". This is a philosophical work created by the French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre, and when Zheng Ming was reading this book, Yang Xinhui sent him a video file on his mobile phone, which led to the previous scene.

Zhang Yu saw that after Zheng Ming read the words he wrote, he just glanced at the book on the side, and said nothing else, and immediately took the pen and paper and wrote down a paragraph again.

[It is undeniable that this is a masterpiece of existentialism, and it is the foundation work of French existentialism in the 20th century.

It is a pity that the wonderful freedom that Sartre preached to people was not easy to achieve. All this is more like Sartre flaunting a kind of "ideal person" should have

The "ideal world of life" is romantic but unrealistic. Otherwise, in this age of individuality, deliberateness and freedom.

Otherwise, why is it that all the people in reality are carved out of the same mold? There is no difference in the network. It's just a garbage dump for catharsis!

It was supposed to be a cradle for people to get new information and get in touch with the world without leaving home. Now it has become a garbage heap full of gunsmoke and falsehood. 】

The people who came seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts, and what was revealed between the lines was cynicism and hatred of iron.

But it's not to blame. This world, which is slightly different from Zheng Ming's previous life, is so weird! The online world is even more filthy, so much so that Zheng Ming, who has experienced the rise of the Internet in his previous life, feels incredible.

Although there were many commonly known Internet trolls in the online world of Zheng Ming's previous life, there were also many unscrupulous self-media, marketing accounts, and many disputes and criticizing the dark side, but there was finally a glorious side of human nature that was neutralized, and an institution with a conscience maintained basic order. So it's a benign development in a good direction.

The online world here is like an abandoned place, full of false and vulgar information, vicious and sharp words. The light of humanity has vanished here, and chaos and darkness have spread all over the corners.

Thinking of this, Zheng Ming pondered for a moment, and wrote in his notebook.

[It's not all people who vent wantonly.] There are always people who remain rational, it's just that they don't bother to speak. 】

[What is the difference between those who are well-meaning and those who are not clear when they are forced to remain silent in order to protect themselves, and when those who remain sane decide to be out of sight in order to avoid meaningless disputes? When there is malice and abuse around you, those who were originally well-intentioned will gradually be assimilated. 】

Zhang Yu's words were almost identical to Lu Ye in the video, which made Zheng Ming's eyes streak, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at the other party.

Facing Zheng Ming's gaze, Zhang Yu did not show any panic, and smiled shallowly at Zheng Ming's gaze as usual.

The smile that brought out two dimples seemed to be a little more meaningful at this time.

I'm not interested in arguing with you about this. Whether there is a difference or not, I just need to make sure that I am not assimilated and that I am responsible for my words and actions. 】

Zheng Ming, who felt that something was slightly wrong, was about to end the topic, so he handed over the notebook with the above paragraph and stood up.

"Are you also responsible for peeking into other people's diaries?"

Zheng Ming, who got up and was about to leave, heard Zhang Yu's low voice, and asked sharply regardless of the fact that he was in the library.

"Who the hell are you? How do you know this? "

Eyes of surprise, disdain, and blame were cast from all directions.

Zheng Ming, who caused this phenomenon, stared intently at Zhang Yu, who was sitting as steady as Mount Tai on the seat.

"Hello, Zheng Ming. Reacquaint yourself, my name is Zhang Yu, the word Xuanyi. From the Anomaly Society. You should have met our members. Lu Ye, who is related to you, has lived in the place where you once lived for a while, and is now no longer alive, as well as Wang Yuan, who has a relationship with you in the sanatorium, are all like this. Even Xinhui is a relative of our members. "

Seeing that the other party listed the names of the people he had come into contact with in the past few days, Zheng Ming's face was completely gloomy.

"What is your purpose in approaching me?"

Hearing Zheng Ming's deep question, Zhang Yu showed a strange look, shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, no, it's not that we are intentionally approaching you." It's unintentionally attracted to you. I just saw that someone else entered the table to check the place where Lu Ye stayed at the end. Only then did I find out the fact that you woke up and were entangled with our cause and effect. "

"And what are you looking for here?"

Here Zheng Ming was still trying to figure out the other party's intention to find him, but he was interrupted by a young man who had also been staying here.

The young man walked up to Zheng Ming and the others, lowered his voice and reminded in a low voice: "Sir, this is the library, please keep quiet." "

"Okay. I'm sorry. "

Zhang Yu stood up, apologized and looked at Zheng Ming.

"How? Interested in coming and sitting in our anomaly club? "

"That's exactly what I mean."

If it was in a previous life, or any normal person, he would not want to be involved with this suspicious society. However, thanks to the experience gained from the battlefield and fighting over the years, Zheng Ming showed a decisive side at this time.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Instead of avoiding it all the time, it's better to see what they have in store for them face to face!

Zheng Ming thought like this, and kept up with Zhang Yu's pace of taking the lead in walking out.

...

"The house Lu Ye rented in the last stage of his life is where you used to live. Guo Jin in the nursing home has been trying to figure out the cause of the anomalous event through you when you are unconscious. Song Zihua, not to mention that he is your doctor in charge, has been trying to cure and study the weird diseases that make a sound in you. Wang Yuan took the initiative to talk to you when you took out the sanatorium. Even Xinhui was working at the university and met you by chance to handle business. And I happened to meet you when I was on my way to the library to look at the materials.

If I hadn't done some research myself, but heard people talk to me, I would have found it hard to believe that there are so many coincidences in this world. It sounds more like a deliberate proximity than a coincidence. "

Walking on the campus of Y University, Zheng Ming listened to Zhang Yu's description and couldn't help but feel ups and downs.

"You think I meant to approach you? I think you're trying to get close to me! "

Zhang Yu glanced at Zheng Ming beside him, and vetoed with deep meaning: "Of course not." All this is really a coincidence. But one or two coincidences are normal, but when a series of coincidences weave a big net to bring us together, maybe it's no longer a coincidence. There is one word in the world to describe it, and that is fate! And we prefer to call it a script! "

Zheng Ming's eyes flashed when he heard the other party's words. He seemed to understand the other party's meaning, and seemed to misinterpret the other party's words.

Zhang Yu didn't care if Zheng Ming really understood or not. At least until he thoroughly confirms whether there is something wrong with the other party, and before revealing some truth to the other party, he doesn't think that the other party can really understand his words.

"Here we are."

Not long after walking, Zhang Yu stopped and said to Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming, who was reminded, looked at the building in front of him.

It is a building located above the main entrance of Y Major, and it is a building called a complex.

The complex is the second largest building in Y University, and in addition to the classrooms used for regular teaching, there are many club activity rooms here. And Zheng Ming was taken into a room on the fourth floor by Zhang Yu.
