Just after nine o'clock in the morning on November 17.

Lu Tingnan took a sip of water, and read an old book in his hand, the name of the book was "Miscellaneous Records of Ghost Things", which recorded many strange things that happened in ancient times.

"Huh? This thing...... It's kind of like that. ”

He stared at a certain page on the miscellaneous record, which recorded an incident, and he felt that this incident was a bit similar to what Gu Changjun had encountered.

"Pot ......" He just wanted to ask Guo Yan to come over and take a look, but when he turned his head and saw that the sofa was empty, he remembered that he had gone out early in the morning, and he had been wandering around Tongzhou until now, looking for the trouble that the old man had explained.

The two of them have been looking for this trouble for a week, but they have never found it.

He picked up his mobile phone and dialed Guo Yan's number.

After two rings, it passed.

"Hey, I was just about to call you, and you called, what's the matter?" Guo Yan asked.

Lu Tingnan stared at the contents of the miscellaneous records and said, "I found an incident similar to Gu Changjun's system here, but I'm not sure if it's not." ”

"Did you find it?" Guo Yan's tone was not happy, and after saying a word, he sighed and said helplessly, "You don't have to worry about this matter, it's over anyway." ”

Lu Tingnan was puzzled, "It's over?" What do you mean? ”

Guo Yan said: "You can understand when you go to see Gu Changjun's news, I just saw it." I won't tell you yet, I've found something here, and I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

"Oh, okay."

Lu Tingnan hung up the phone, picked up the computer on the side, searched for news about Gu Changjun, clicked on one casually, and was stunned after seeing the content inside.

Gu Changjun ...... He's dead? ”

He couldn't believe that Gu Changjun was already dead, it was only a week later, and he died?

looked at the incident of Gu Changjun's death, and found that it was half past four yesterday afternoon, after he had undergone an operation, he died mysteriously.

The hospital did not disclose the details of Gu Changjun's death, but according to insiders inside the hospital, the situation at the time of his death was extremely terrifying, and his body at the time of death was the same as that of a hundred-year-old man, which was terrifying.

Others may not believe this kind of news, but they only think that it is the conjecture of the media.

But Lu Tingnan knew that Gu Changjun was afraid that he would use the system again, so he would get old, and finally die of old age.

After reading the news, Lu Tingnan didn't have any ideas, he only felt sorry, after all, it was a human life.

Guo Yan came back an hour later, and as soon as he entered the door, he scolded and said: "Uncle, let me tell you, I thought there was some yin qi over there just now, but I went in and took a look, damn, the two high school students are doing it over there!" Uncle, spicy eyes! ”

"Uh." Lu Tingnan was speechless.

Guo Yan took a sip of water, "I know about Gu Changjun." ”

"Well, he's dead."

Guo Yan said: "Yes, it's dead, let him stop using the system, but he didn't listen." By the way, what did you find? ”

Lu Tingnan flipped through the "Miscellaneous Records of Ghost Things" on the side, pointed to a story on it and said: "This is what I found, there was a Xiucai in ancient times who failed to take the exam three times, and suddenly succeeded in the fourth time. But this Xiucai died violently not long after winning the champion, and his death was so miserable that it was like being sucked dry of flesh and blood. ”

Guo Yan frowned, "What does this have to do with Gu Changjun's matter?" ”

Lu Tingnan continued: "The book says that the one who killed the champion was a kind of ghost called Yuan, who heard Xiucai's prayers and desires after Xiucai rushed to take the exam three times, and then helped Xiucai get the champion. Don't you think this wish is very similar to the system that Gu Changjun got? ”

Guo Yan was stunned for a moment, "So, this is also the wish that killed Gu Changjun?" ”

Lu Tingnan shook his head: "I can't be sure, maybe it is, but it may not be." But I think it's more of a deformed monster born of faith. ”

"What do you mean?"

Lu Tingnan explained: "In the past, Buddhism and Taoism all emphasized faith, what is the power of faith? In fact, it is a kind of thirst for people's own desires, and people pin their wishes on ethereal figures, which naturally produces the power of faith. In ancient times, because of the blockage of information, faith was relatively pure, and the power of faith gathered could indeed bring good things to people. ”

"But in modern society, people have long stopped believing in ghosts and gods......

"So faith is gone?" Guo Yan interjected.

Lu Tingnan was not in a hurry, shook his head and said: "No, faith still exists, but the belief in ghosts and gods is not so pure anymore, and few people believe in this kind of thing anymore." However, this does not mean that faith will disappear, it is just that people have shifted the things of faith. ”

When Guo Yan heard this, he immediately understood, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "You mean, people now believe in ...... Money? ”

Lu Tingnan nodded, "Well, that's pretty much what it means, in fact, it's not just money, what people believe most now is money, power, face, and so on." ”

"Take Gu Changjun as an example, why was he found by the system? It's because he wants to make more money, wants the treatment and fame like a star, and wants things that ordinary people can't get. When I watched his news just now, I knew that I had been questioning his ability for the past few nights, so he couldn't get angry, so he could only prove his ability with the system again. ”

"Although he gained unprecedented fame and fame, the price came in death."

Guo Yan took the cup, looked up at the ceiling, and thought: "You say that, I really remember one thing, the last time we asked him for help in the hospital, he seemed to be very unhappy, he seemed to be dissatisfied with the work of the hospital, and wanted to resign." ”

Lu Tingnan continued the topic just now and said: "So, just like the ancient scholars believed in the imperial examination, the current human beings believe in these things, no matter how much they deny it, they will still envy those rich people in their hearts." Under such belief, some deformed monsters will naturally be born, and this system is probably one of them. ”

"It's horrible." Guo Yan shook his head.

"But that's just my guess, and I'm not sure if that's the case."

Guo Yan sighed, "Sure enough, money is really omnipotent, but poverty limits our imagination." ”

Lu Tingnan smiled bitterly, and didn't have any thoughts about it.

In order to protect his reputation and reputation, Gu Changjun took a risk, and as a result, he gave away his life.

This world is indeed a bit scary.

If there were more strange and terrible things like the system, the whole world would probably be messed up.

……

Hospital, five p.m.

The dean is fifty-three years old this year, but he is still active on the operating table.

Gu Changjun's death made his loss a bit serious, and the situation when Gu Changjun died also frightened him.

Now that it was time to get off work, he didn't bother to think about anything else, left the hospital, came to the car, and before he started the car, a strange window suddenly popped up in front of his eyes, and there was a sentence on it.
