I turned down the air conditioner because it was hot.

Shen Yu sat across the dining table, there were more than two dozen plates and dishes between us, all of which were full of vegetables and meat, a mandarin duck pot was gurgling, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of hot pot.

This is a famous hot pot takeaway called by Shen Yu, even in the middle of the night, when the ten evils are approaching, and Moro is coming, the takeaway brother of the hot pot restaurant is still smiling, helping us adjust the hot pot base, and then lighting the fire, skimming the soup, handing the apron, throwing the noodles, and the action is done in one go.

He always had a smile on his face, and he didn't worry about the situation in the slightest.

I asked him if he was from Weiyang, Wei Yang was like this, didn't he want to go home?

The little brother smiled heartily: What's the matter, I'm from Beichuan, the sky collapsed during the earthquake, and I was buried in the ruins for more than 40 hours, that's chaos. In the end, the two soldiers dug me out, and they were all cement blocks, and their nails were all cut off, which was very miserable.

What about your family? I asked.

He laughed a little: I'm all dead - I'm in school, my mother is in the house, and my father is in the power supply bureau building, and they're all stoned to death. My sister was in college in Chengdu, and she was in a hurry to apply to volunteer, but she was buried by a mudslide just in time for an aftershock.

So, big brother, don't be so sad, be happy every day, people live, you have to live well every day, otherwise the world is impermanent, and what belongs to you, if you say no, you won't be able to hurt when you are sad......

The little brother smiled and said goodbye, and his words made me feel a lot of emotion. I returned to the dining table and looked at the boiling hot pot and Shen Yu sitting across from me with a relaxed expression.

"Eat! Didn't you hear what the little brother said, we both died once, what else is there to worry about? ”

I raised my chopsticks, and the window on the side reflected a magical flash, because I had experienced the illusion, so I knew that it was the Asura who was smashing the "shadowless wall" with a heavy hammer again and again.

Hua Hu may call it the "Shadowless Wall", but in fact, it is just an invisible barrier between two spaces.

Now, cracks have formed in the barriers, which also means that creatures from other worlds will soon descend on the earth.

There is not much time left for people, so I understand Lin Ying's anxiety very much, and even understand her suspicion of Shen Yu, but what I don't understand is why Shen Yu, who is sitting opposite me today, is so happy.

Could it be that her head has been occupied by Hua Hu? Could it be that the arrival of the Asura made her excited?

Shen Yu has been very strange tonight, she usually goes on a diet, but she actually called for a hot pot takeout in the middle of the night. She was soaking her hairy belly up and down over there, and she ate with relish.

"Eat, don't be stunned, it's not a severed head meal!" She tapped the rim of the pot with her chopsticks.

I had to take a chopstick tofu, and my mouth burned as soon as I took the first bite. She glanced at me and handed me a can of cold Coke.

"Forget it, I won't hang you." She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already touched the root of the whole incident, aren't you so worried that you just want to save humanity?" Then I'll give you this chance now, haha. ”

"Give me a chance? Do you know that Lin Ying is distracted now? Even the two of us have been listed as suspects? Besides, the scientific society will meet at dawn, are you still in the mood to eat hot pot? ”

"Aren't you all arranged? Guaranteed we'll be there by then? Let me guess, we don't have official reinforcement anymore, so the helper you can find is the president's cousin, right? ”

"You guessed it." I say.

In fact, when I went to the police station, I sent a message to my cousin, and he replied to me, reassuring me that he went to the "intelligence source" and assured me that I would be able to "participate in the grand event" with his members.

This guy is still cheeky, and repeatedly confirmed with me whether the beautiful detective will also come over at that time.

"Brother, I've finally become the protagonist again." He also sighed in the message, "I found out that being a puppet is actually quite comfortable, eating and drinking spicy food and not worrying, it is simply living a life like a pet." ”

……

Shen Yu looked at me. Her hair was a little fluffy, and there were fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, which was not false sweat, but real sweat steamed out of the hot pot.

"Why don't this girl take you through the ins and outs of this whole big thing?"

"It's long overdue, if you don't touch the earth, it will become a balloon!" I said angrily.

"Haha, let's start at the beginning. What about the two of us, one was originally a smart and beautiful university teacher, and the other was a chaotic editor of a publishing house, strictly speaking, they had nothing to do with detectives, but now they were coerced in a blur, not only became the protagonist of the 'Ten Evils' case, but also watched the city change color, and all kinds of strange events turned like a whirlpool, and we were struggling in this whirlpool......

"What Hua Qi who travels through space, what faceless man who jumps ten feet, what eerie and terrifying Luqiu King Tomb, what Kui Laokun who has a lifespan of hundreds of years, these are not conjectures, not dreams, but things that have been witnessed by us and verified by many people, and they are real events and people. And, of course, there is the vision outside the window that makes scientists feel at a loss.

"These things are strange, but they all have one thing in common, which is that they can't be explained by today's science. You must know that the increasing prosperity of human society in the past few hundred years is based on the rapid progress of science in the narrow sense - what even science cannot explain, will immediately bring us frustration, uneasiness, panic and a sense of helplessness.

But in fact, we have forgotten one fundamental point, that is, the so-called science is actually an extension of philosophy and logic. What is science, science is something that can be repeatedly verified and infinitely close to the truth.

"Since there is verification, this kind of science is also called 'experimental science', experimental science is infinitely close to the truth, but there is always a little distance from the truth. This distance can be seen as infinitely small, but sometimes it can also be thought of as infinite, because infinity itself has no size.

"These days, I've actually been thinking about a question, that is, if this kind of ghost can't be explained by experimental science in the narrow sense, then can we find a breakthrough in it by using philosophy and logic in the broad sense?"

When she said this, she picked up a piece of yellow throat with her long chopsticks, she took a bite, and strongly recommended: "It's very crispy, it's very fragrant - you eat it quickly!" Eating and listening do not conflict! ”

What she said just now has already made me misty, at this moment, where do I still have any appetite!

But I suddenly have a feeling that the original Shen Yu is back, the smart and clear to the point of extreme self-confidence, self-confidence to the point of being extremely arrogant, and even so arrogant that he is completely unsympathetic to the world is back!

I suddenly felt a sense of security, and my hanging heart immediately fell.

Yes, in front of such a Shen Yu, I can actually listen carefully.
