The small spaceship has been in space for a long time, and the positions of the stars around it have not changed, and this is a space journey with no end.

"Want to banish me? Lost in space? Luo Youcheng used his brain, he rubbed his chin. He hasn't read a few science and engineering books, but he still knows a few nouns, isn't it just a fantasy? It's worth a try.

He said in a deep voice, "Warp engine ready." ”

The spaceship accelerated suddenly, and the starlight around it turned into stripes of light. Luo Youcheng felt that it was not enough, snapped his fingers and said:

"There should also be a wormhole."

There was indeed a wormhole ahead. The spaceship travels through the wormhole and arrives on a brownish planet. Luo Youcheng, who is blind, solved the problem of Chang Chang in a foolish way.

The spaceship landed on this barren planet. The cracked earth was like a big net, and the cracks spread unscrupulously, as lawless as an old man. Luo Youcheng doesn't know how Dean Chang will collect the "net" next time, but when he comes here, he can only take one step at a time. He walked a little further and saw bare tree trunks on the bare earth.

It was a signboard with four signs nailed to it. To the left is the Soul Camp, to the right is the Soul Camp, forward is the Soul Camp, and backward is the Soul Camp. A row of large, eye-catching characters is engraved on the trunk of the tree: All roads lead to the soul camp. There is also a line of small characters below the big characters, which should be added later:

I'm waiting for you in the Soul Camp, huh.

Luo Youcheng didn't expect the demon to be skinned at all, so he didn't let goosebumps crawl all over his body.

Since no matter which direction he goes, the destination is the soul camp, Luo Youcheng didn't think much about it and continued to move forward. But the cracked land is too big, and the edge of barrenness is invisible to the eye, monotonous and boring. Luo Youcheng wants to have some fun on his journey, doesn't he say that where the thoughts are, the people are there? Luo Youcheng's figure flickered on this dry land, and he stepped hundreds of miles in one step. It's just that there is no end to this land.

"Aren't you waiting for me at the Soul Camp? What about your soul camps? Luo Youcheng shouted at the sky.

Dean Chang did not respond.

Luo Youcheng frowned and thought. The cracks in the earth did not turn into a big net to catch him as he thought, so it was very likely that Dean Chang was really waiting for him in the soul camp. But where is the soul camp? He thought of the street signs, and the east, east, west, and northwest all pointed to the soul concentration camp, and the soul camp must be under this sky. He had already left, I don't know if it was hundreds of thousands or millions, and he hadn't even seen a single shadow of the building. He suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help laughing at himself:

"The thinking is still too rigid."

Luo Youcheng calmed down, his thoughts diverged, and with him as the center, the yellow-brown earth color was fading, becoming more and more transparent. The cracks in the earth have become dark lines on the glass. Luo Youcheng squatted down and knocked on the glass.

"Don't you open the skylight? Then I'll have to stomp it to pieces. ”

Beside Luo Youcheng, a skylight quietly slid to the side. Luo Youcheng jumped in.

Dean Chang clapped his hands and smiled: "The future is terrifying. ”

Luo Youcheng replied: "Old and disrespectful." ”

Dean Chang did not break his promise this time, and he placed a long conference table in the room, which was stuck in the hole in the wall. Dean Chang is on that side, and Luo Youcheng is on this end. In fact, the two were still in two rooms, across a long table, looking at each other through a hole in the wall.

"You're still so cautious." Luo Youcheng shook his head and said.

Dean Chang said: "The older you get, the more you cherish your life. ”

Luo Youcheng said: "I don't want to fight to the death with you. I'm just here to make a deal. ”

"Then let's talk about the deal."

"Can you let me see the souls of Heng Siliang and Jiang Jielin?"

Dean Chang waved his hand, and two transparent cages moved from behind him and stood beside him. Inside the cage were two listless souls, their heads bowed.

"Can you get them to lift their heads?"

Heng Siliang stretched out a finger in each hand and lifted it up. The two souls seemed to be supported by their chins, and their heads gradually lifted. After confirming the identities of the two souls, Luo Youcheng couldn't help frowning. Their state is very bad, according to the old saying, they are three souls and seven spirits are lost, and only one soul and one soul are left.

"How did you torture them like this?" Luo Youcheng said angrily.

Dean Chang didn't answer, just waved his hand. The two cages retreated and disappeared into the darkness.

Luo Youcheng suppressed his emotions, from another point of view, the situation of the two souls was already very good, at least they were not torn to pieces to feed the geese or used as a defensive "doughnut". He said:

"So, I'll now explain the principle and method of that little trick."

Dean Chang waved his hand and said, "Don't take out those carving insect skills, they are all left over from my play." ”

As he finished speaking, there were six permanent deans sitting on the six empty chairs at the conference table on the other side of the wall.

Luo Youcheng's face changed: "What do you mean?" If you are going to be concrete, why promise a deal? ”

Dean Chang laughed and beckoned, and the six Dean Chang stood up and lined up into his body, merging with him. He said:

"It's not your little trick to fool people, it's a distraction."

Luo Youcheng has no body at this time, otherwise he would probably be shocked into a cold sweat.

Concrete manifestations and split souls look similar, but in fact, there is a huge difference. Concrete manifestation is an emotional image simulated by medium-frequency consciousness waves, which can fool people, but has no combat effectiveness. Splitting the soul is to divide one's soul into independent individuals, although the ability will be weakened, but the combat effectiveness is real. Dean Chang lightly divided the six split souls, and Luo Youcheng had to re-weigh the strength comparison between the two.

Dean Chang knocked on the table with his hand and said, "Business is to be discussed, but I'm not interested in petty deals. If you want to talk, you can talk about big business. ”

Luo Youcheng asked, "What business?" ”

"You've passed my test and are qualified to sit at this conference table. You are strong, young and have unlimited potential and space. So, I want to ask you, what is your position for yourself? ”

Luo Youcheng said: "I don't dare to call myself a savior, but the world has reached the brink of shattering, and I must do my best to ......"

"Hahaha......" Dean Chang interrupted Luo Youcheng's words with laughter, "Save the world?" No, no, the world has collapsed, it does not need to be saved, and it does not deserve to be saved. Even if civilization is reshaped, it will only survive for a few decades. Instead of working on a pile of rags, create a new world. ”

Luo Youcheng was silent, although he was curious about Dean Chang's so-called new world, but his intuition told him that it might not be a good thing.

"No one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and the body will eventually turn into dust, but ......" Dean Chang stood up, across the long table, and looked at Luo Youcheng with burning eyes, "As long as we want, we can make the soul live forever, and we will build an ideological world." ”

Luo Youcheng sneered: "Let the world become a big madhouse in your spiritual world?" Sorry, I'm really not interested. ”

Dean Chang waved his hand and said, "The pendulum won't last forever. Its existence, firstly, is to provide me with some means of self-preservation; The second is to deepen my understanding of the soul. Actually, you can think of the pendulum as a soul research institute and me as a scientific researcher. Maybe your resistance will be a little lesser. ”

Luo Youcheng said: "On the contrary, I am even more disgusted. ”

Dean Chang smiled: "Young people, it's just brainless. There were a hundred people in the prison hospital, their souls were sleeping, and I didn't move a single one. I bought all the souls in the asylum, and their bodies died. Without my spiritual world, their souls would have died long ago. ”

Luo Youcheng said: "But what I see is that the souls of these people are suffering from inhuman torture. Their souls are torn apart and become rations for monsters, what you call 'doughnuts'. If you die, you can't live in peace, and if you are me, I'd rather die with your soul. ”

Dean Chang seemed very patient, and he continued to persuade: "I'll fight with you. Genetic research, you need volunteers, right? Do you need volunteers to try a new drug? And then there is organ transplantation, but if there is no precedent for failure, do you think doctors can master this technology out of thin air? Medicine has advanced because many ordinary people have sacrificed for it, but it has saved many more lives. I want to build a spiritual world that can last forever, why can't souls who should have disappeared make a little sacrifice? ”

"." Luo Youcheng pouted, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.

Dean Chang felt that Luo Youcheng's attitude had softened, and continued to bewitch: "Come on, join my group." We create a whole new world, we are gods, and the rules are written by us. ”

Luo Youcheng shook his head and said: "I don't believe that the soul can last forever, it is a wave of consciousness after all, even if it is stable, it will eventually decay and disappear, when all the souls die, what else will be left in your spiritual world?" Can you still create a soul out of thin air? ”

"And what do you think is a soul?" Dean Chang asked rhetorically, and without waiting for Luo Youcheng's answer, he continued, "The soul is a fusion of memory and character, emotion, and worldview, and when the latter three are combined, we can call it human nature. Memory is just a story, and only with humanity can it be called a soul. ”

Luo Youcheng nodded, this is also his understanding of the soul.

"Stories can be written, copied, edited. It's human nature that's hard, and now, do you understand why I built a pendulum mental hospital? ”

Luo Youcheng shook his head.

Dean Chang was a little disappointed, but patiently explained: "Everyone has many desires in their hearts, which affect a person's personality, behavior, and worldview. These desires are intertwined, and human nature becomes very complex. When a person makes a decision, it is difficult for you to judge what is influencing him. ”

Luo Youcheng agrees with this view, human nature is far more complex than memory.

Dean Chang was satisfied and continued, "However, everyone has a core desire, and this desire takes precedence over the others. But it's like a twig entwined with countless rattans, and it's hard to spot it, let alone peel it out. In a psychiatric hospital, the core desires will be amplified and strengthened, and they will continue to grow, from twigs to large trees, and you can clearly observe the form of large trees. At this time, the rattan can be cut down and the big tree can be harvested. Can you understand that? ”

"Understood." Luo Youcheng said lightly. He didn't want to intervene more, and while Dean Chang was happy, he wanted to know what the hell this old man was doing.
