I understand the seriousness of Wang Zhengqing's words.

If he had reported it, I would have been the focus of attention, and that focus was not a compliment.

"Are you hesitating and regretting it?" Wang Zhengqing asked rhetorically.

I was stunned, I didn't react for a while, and when I reacted, I immediately shook my head.

"I don't regret it, I'm just thinking about the consequences."

After speaking, I pondered for a long time, and finally, I said to Wang Zhengqing very solemnly.

"Brother Wang, I know what I have seen, and I also know the possible consequences of this matter, if this matter can only be resolved by reporting, then I support your opinion."

After I finished speaking, Wang Zhengqing's eyes struggled for a moment, and finally took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

Just when I thought he was going to call, he suddenly stopped again.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He shook his head and said, "I must verify this matter for myself, otherwise, the risk is not irresponsible to me, but to you." ”

I didn't know how he was going to verify it, so I asked.

"I'm going to take a look, that cloud of smoke."

I didn't expect him to do that, but he was right, everything was just my dictation, and he hadn't seen it at all.

Let's not talk about why he believed me, but it would be difficult to reassure his superiors if there was no evidence, at least, we need a piece of evidence, lest we do this experiment again when the time comes, and if something happens, then it will be a big problem.

But now to show him, it is also a danger, everything that happened in the treasury is still playing out before my eyes, scene after scene, as soon as I close my eyes, and I don't even need to close my eyes, those things will emerge on their own, and the temptations that the black smoke gives me, these are all problems.

I said my worries, and Wang Zhengqing's face was also full of doubts.

"I can't guarantee that I can withstand the temptation." He said very sincerely: "There is one thing that human nature cannot withstand the test, and no one is exempt from vulgarity, and neither can I." ”

Wang Zhengqing is half a Taoist priest, so I asked a digression, I said that you cultivators are not exempt from vulgar words, isn't that temptation invincible?

He shook his head and said: "No, you see, you can't stand it, this looks at people, but also depends on time and place, and we cultivators are nothing special, even the master admits that he can't face human nature, and the cultivation of the Tao is not immortals, cultivation is a process of perfecting human nature, I once asked the master, what is the strength of the Tao, and he told me that the strength of the Tao is people, perfect people." ”

No one is perfect, but the end of the Tao is perfect, I have to say that this sentence deeply stimulated me, and even made me have a plan to become a monk, but it seems that cultivation does not need to be a monk.

Gu Yichang was able to say this, he must have seen many things clearly, unlike us who are still worried about three meals a day.

Speaking of three meals a day, I thought about it again, when I was in the General Bureau, at least I was paid every month, but now that I have joined this spiritual case team, I have no intention of paying me a salary until now, so wouldn't I work in vain?

The little savings I had left before were about to run out when I auctioned quenching lotus seeds on the black market, and I guess that the little savings I had left would be difficult to pay the rent next quarter.

But I can't raise my salary with Lao Gou or Wang Zhengqing at this juncture, right? How bad.

Thinking about this, Wang Zhengqing slapped his thigh and shouted, "I know, I have a way." ”

"What's the solution?" I asked.

"Didn't you say you didn't know what the black smoke was, but the body of the black smoke was still connected to the snuffbox?"

I nodded yes, and he continued, "According to your description, the black smoke is definitely not completely free from the snuffbox, so we can rest assured of safety, generally speaking, it is necessary to seal this self-aware supernatural energy body in a vessel. ”

"Seals?"

"Yes." Wang Zhengqing said with great certainty: "Just like those poison jars we handled, didn't the people of the Immortal Gu also use the runes of Heavenly Power to seal them? The same is true for this self-aware supernatural energy body, otherwise why would the black smoke release the temptation on you when you screw the red knob on? ”

When he explained this, he really explained it, and this danger might really be ruled out.

"And then?"

"Then you take my peachwood sword, and I'm drawing two talismans for you to make sure nothing happens."

The peach wood sword has a certain effect of warding off evil spirits, as for the two talismans he said, I guess it must be the death door curse, the death door spell is suppressive and active, I don't know what effect it has on this.

After deciding, Wang Zhengqing and I went to an empty room and locked the doors and windows.

Mo Xiaoyun was still studying the prescription in her room, so we tried not to disturb her as much as possible.

But to be honest, this is the second time we or I have opened the snuffbox, and the first hesitation was a coincidence, so it can't be counted at all.

But the second time does not mean that the experience is more sophisticated, but it means that we will die more than the first, and the consequences of death will be very serious, so serious that we may not be able to bear it.

After locking the doors and windows, Wang Zhengqing also deliberately pasted a few spells around the house, forming a small death door spell array, and the effect is also very simple, in fact, it is a mutual blessing of the death door spell to improve the power.

Then he handed me the snuffbox.

I didn't realize what he was going to do, and then I heard him say, "You come to summon it, I can't come." ”

"Why?" I was stunned for a moment, thinking he was going to summon it himself.

But he shook his head: "Since you blocked the temptation the first time, there will be a second time, so you should rest assured." ”

Hearing him say this, I didn't shirk it, after all, it had to be on the safe side.

But before he started, he deliberately put his phone on the cabinet next to him and pointed the camera at us.

He wants to film all this, so that it can be used as evidence in court, which can be said to be a very precious video material, which can be used as a reference for the headquarters of the spirit team.

As in the storeroom, when I held the snuffbox in my hand, it was cold, and a chill penetrated through my flesh and soaked into my bones.

As I felt the urge to turn it on, the chill of the snuffbox slowly turned into heat.

It was a strange feeling, and as the temperature rose higher and higher, I finally put my hand on the red knob and slowly unscrewed it.

At the same time, the temperature on the snuffbox was beyond the limits of what my flesh could bear.

The moment the red knob separated from the snuffbox, I couldn't help but burn and let go of my hand.

And the black smoke also took advantage of the momentum to gush out, instantly filled the entire room, Wang Zhengqing and I had to make a defensive posture, with a burst of wailing, the black smoke quickly contracted, and formed a large cloud of black smoke above our heads, and there was even a faint flash of thunder and lightning inside.

And just like what I have seen before, no matter how big and seeping the black smoke is, there is still a thin flue at the tail connected to the snuff bottle, and the two form an unbreakable relationship of mutual imprisonment.

Wang Zhengqing in front of me was stunned, I think he should be the first time to see this kind of scene like me.

"Really...... It turned out to be true. ”

"How? Brother Wang, have you ever seen this kind of thing before? ”

I asked, and he shook his head and said, "No, not for sure, but I didn't expect that such a thing actually exists." ”

Like he had said before, he knew what it was, but had never seen it, and no one had seen it, including his master, the ancient one.

"Are you sure that's what you're talking about, non-human supernatural energy bodies?"

I asked again, and I really couldn't understand the term.

In fact, all animals are conscious, but whether this consciousness can be linked to wisdom is two different things, just like dogs and humans have a certain amount of consciousness and wisdom, but the wisdom of the two is not on the same level.

So it led to humans training dogs, not humans with dogs.

And the thing Wang Zhengqing is talking about may be a kind of wisdom, above human beings, and at the same time conscious, but its form is not any of the natural forms that we currently control.

This confirms its danger.

Why? To give a very simple example, when the robot does not have self-awareness, it is a good helper and good partner of human beings, can help us share some work, and can be online around the clock, but if the robot is self-aware, it can think independently, and not the set of interaction logic written by humans for it, then human beings still dare to use robots? Do you dare to involve them in our lives? I'm afraid that the first thing humans will do is unplug their power cords and completely empty their traces on the Internet.

Why? Because human nature is the most unbearable test, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, on the same planet, different races, different countries, different religions can appear, but there can never be two creatures with different wisdom and consciousness.

Therefore, human beings will not tolerate self-aware robots, and robots will not tolerate the oppression and exploitation of human beings after they become self-conscious.

The non-human supernatural things in this cloud of black smoke represent the position of humans and robots, the difference is that humans can create robots, and they can also destroy robots, but they feel that black smoke is uncontrollable.

The moment I opened it, I felt it tempting me and letting it go completely.

It, wants to be free.
