"What do you think?" Shen Yu asked back.

Wen Tingxu smiled awkwardly: "In my opinion, the ten evils are not evil, they are just attachments." Once a creature has an obsession in his heart, it is difficult to separate himself from it. ”

He smiled, looked at us again, and said, "I know what you are thinking, tell it for you, I am also a person who is obsessed and can't extricate myself, otherwise why would I bring everyone to the 'Sea of Death'." ”

We finally got into the buggy and drove out of the county town, all the way east, towards Taklamakan.

The "Sea of Death" is another name for the Taklamakan Desert, sometimes referring to the Lop Nur Desert, where the scientist Pengamu once disappeared. In fact, compared to Lop Nur, the entire Taklamakan is more vast.

In people's imagination, hell is a place of black smoke and flames. And if you walk into the Taklamakan Desert, many people will not have another feeling-

Why isn't hell a place of silence? Like this desert in front of you and behind you?

There is only a white sand and a cool day here, and animals and plants are scarce. If you walk into the boundless desert, you will have the illusion that what is closer to you is not spectacular, but small and dead.

Kalaya Tur is an oasis in the desert, and it is also a trace of the afterglow of nature's living force extending into the desert. There we met the caravan - ten camels, eight handymen.

Bai Yaer obviously had some scruples about the boss's superstition, so she directly skipped the numbers fourteen (to die) and fifteen (to make a mistake), and designed the total number of people directly to sixteen (to be obedient).

I always feel that the number sixteen is better than eighteen, because the things to be sent are not only wealth, but also sickness, fever, faintness, and madness, and we are going to explore a mysterious ruin, and it is much better to not happen than to happen.

It was already half past one o'clock in the afternoon. Wen Tingxu and Bai Ya'er were chatting in the distance, and Shen Yu stood next to me and looked at him coldly.

"Well, there's something important." She said to me suddenly.

"Huh?"

"When I'm not there tomorrow, you and Hua Yan have to watch out for those two entourages, especially that Bai Ya'er, you don't talk to her or anything."

“…… Are you planning ahead? "I couldn't cry or laugh - I looked at Bai Ya'er twice more today, but I didn't expect her to see it earlier.

"You think I'm jealous?" Shen Yu blocked my doubts first, "Have you heard of the experimenter's bias effect?" ”

"Why do you mention this?" I didn't understand it for a while.

The experimenter's bias effect is similar to Murphy's theorem, which you manipulate - in a laboratory, if you are the one leading the experiment, suppose the experiment can lead to two outcomes, one A and one B.

And you have a desire in your heart to achieve the effect of A through this experiment, then when you perform the experiment, it is easy to bias towards the direction of A.

A professor once did an experiment where he tied a person to an electric chair and brought in a few operators.

There is a table in front of the operator, and there is a button on the table, and if the button is pressed, the person in the electric chair will produce an electric shock response - the current is reasonably controlled, and there is no health damage to the subject, only to make him feel pain.

The professor found ten people who could press the button or not - but the end result was that eight people pressed the power and heard the painful howls of the people in the electric chairs.

And what is the actual situation?

The real situation is that the person in the electric chair is the professor's assistant, and the electric chair is not connected to any power supply, he just cooperates with the person who pressed the button and screams in pain.

This is a kind of experimenter bias, and obviously, it is much more interesting for the operator to see the subject react than to see him indifferent.

So if you think about Shen Yu's words carefully, you will find that it is both easy to understand and difficult to understand - is she worried that Bai Ya'er is the one who pressed the button?

I was still confused by the second monk, but I could see from Shen Yu's expression that she was obviously not interested in answering questions at all.

"How's that case going?" I had to change the topic to break this embarrassment, "Are the girls next door the murderers of Mrs. Peng?" ”

Shen Yu said indifferently: "Of course not. ’

"Is what Hua Hu said true? Did the old lady haunt their house from time to time, and had been to their house on the morning of the crime? ”

"Of course it's true, how can my sister be wrong?" Shen Yu raised his head coldly.

"You two are weird enough, she calls you sister, and you call her sister - she's tens of millions of years old."

"Then she came to the world later than me, there is always one who comes first and comes first, right?"

I raised my hands in surrender: "Understood, understood, why does the old lady always go next door?" Looking at those children sticking to the door, they should hate Peng Wenyan a lot. ”

Shen Yu shrugged: "Lin Ying asked carefully, and then she found out that Peng Wenyan had to go to that house." ”

"What reason?"

"Because one of the girls in the house is the daughter of an old lady and her wife."

I was amazed, I really didn't expect this kind of relationship! Which girl is it?

Is it the one in the shirt, or the one snuggling up on the couch playing games? If it was the old lady's daughter, why did Peng Wenyan die, but she was indifferent?

"Not biological, after Peng Wenyan gave birth to Zhuang Yongxi, she divorced and remarried his father, and his second wife's surname was Xue, and he also had a daughter named Xue Hui. Lao Xue was a big truck driver who died in a highway accident, leaving his daughter to grow up with Peng Wenyan - understand this relationship, right? ”

"I understand, but after all, it was Xue Hui who was pulled by Peng Wenyan, why didn't she have any feelings for the old lady at all? Isn't that the biggest doubt? ”

Shen Yu continued: "The relationship between mother and daughter has never been good, Peng Wenyan is frugal everywhere, and she doesn't care much about Xue Hui's life or death at all - Xue Hui is not the tenant next door, she didn't want to go home during the summer vacation, but Peng Wenyan was afraid that she would spend money outside, so she called her to the banker's house."

As a result, Xue Hui became familiar with the three girls next door as soon as she came and went, how could she want to live in the garbage heap of the Zhuang family, so she moved next door - this is fine, neither occupy the place of Zhuang Yongxi's house, but also don't have to pay for it, of course Peng Wenyan is willing.

"She was afraid that Xue Hui would spend money on takeout, so she would bring her food every morning, noon and evening, which is why she can go in and out of the door casually."

"Don't the three girls next door hate her? Why would you tolerate her in your room? ”

"You're wrong," Shen Yu said with a smile, "because the girls don't hate Peng Wenyan at all, on the contrary, they still rely on her a little." ”
