"I'll tell you the truth, I was hesitant to tell the Public Security Bureau what I knew, after all, entering the temple was also a violation of the management's agreement, and the black suit who single-handedly planned the whole case was still at large, I wasn't sure if I would be retaliated against by him after saying this, so I hesitated. I didn't think about it until I left. ”

"In the afternoon of the same day, the vice president of a university in R City came to me and said that they had a heavyweight who came to visit and exchange, and knew that I was in R City, and this person wanted to see me by name."

In fact, John was a very good space biologist, but at the same time he was also a lover of the occult, and never hid his enthusiasm for this "pseudoscience", so John was called "the most unprofessional astrobiologist" in the academic world, but in any case his expertise is unquestionable. ”

So the next day, I packed up my emotions and went to the auditorium of a key university in R City, where I saw a light blue suit. John Smith, with his curly hair draped over his shoulders, we exchanged the oldest and strongest emotions of human beings, is it the fear of the unknown? He said that he hoped that I could have the same real fear and awe of the unknown as he did, and that would be the embodiment of progress. ”

He also said that for human beings with souls, sometimes the sublimation of the spirit is more important than the progress of science, and we live in a society like today, where everyone takes the development of science and technology as the ultimate pursuit. But I don't think that's all there is to life. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you will accept my ideas and think about them correctly and rationally, thank you again for your tolerance and patience, and may God be with you. ”

Hearing this, the second-in-command said to us: "Did you hear any problems? ”

Zheng Chunlei's thinking was the most agile, and he immediately said: "This man is a scientist, but from what he said, I feel that he believes in faith more than science." ”

"Yes, science is an extremely rigorous discipline, and all questions must have reasonable answers, but it doesn't mean that scientists can't have faith, these are two different things." Director Lin said.

The second-in-command waved his hand and smiled: "Lao Lin." You still don't know enough about people like him, it doesn't really matter what he means by these remarks, what matters is how others understand, science and faith are just his means of making profits, he deliberately creates contradictions, so that two incompatible categories are intertwined, let others discuss, even if the result is to scold him, it can be regarded as notorious, and he is not afraid of bad reputation in these years, he is afraid that he is not famous enough. So there's no need to care about what he says, after all, he's actually a businessman. ”

After the second-in-command said this, I suddenly felt a little admired him, worthy of the old rivers and lakes, and I could see the true image of the whole incident at a glance.

Director Lin nodded and said, "What the leader said is very right, people like me are just too rigid in their brains, I didn't expect this." ”

"Normal, all your energy for scientific research has been wasted on this, how can you think of such a messy idea, Smith is an example, you go on, don't be affected by me."

"As soon as I arrived at the hotel after I went back, I received a call from him, and he said, "Lin, tell you a great discovery, I have found God's punishment in your city."

"I didn't understand it, so I asked, 'What do you mean by God's punishment?'

He said: It is the god that man believes in, and the punishment for mankind. If you can come back if you have time, I dare say you will definitely be interested in this matter. ”

So I rushed to the hotel where Smith was staying, and when I saw that he was the only one, I asked him, "What do you mean by God's punishment?"

Smith pulled out a newspaper and pointed to one of the illustrations and said, "That's what I found, I didn't expect the legend about this to be true."

"That picture is not new to me, it is the scene of the crime in the temple a day ago, although the burning of the human body, the bloody picture of the suicide and caesarean section has not been published, and the photo is very clear, I don't want him to know that I was at the scene, so I pretended to be confused and asked: Professor, what is going on for a while?" Upper peasants pounce on blood.

He said, "Lin, before I tell you my personal opinion on this matter, I would like to ask you a question: Do you believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world?" Be sure to tell me the truth. ”

"I told him simply: I don't believe it."

Smith smiled and said, "Can I understand that you don't agree with my opinion?"

I hesitated for a moment, after all, he was the object of my academic exchange, and it seemed that it would not be very embarrassing to express my denial of his views. But after thinking about it, I didn't seem to have any reason to turn my back on my principles, so I said, "To be honest, professor, I think science and fate should be discussed separately, these are two disciplines that I didn't want to do, I only know science, not fate." ”

Smith smiled with satisfaction, and he said: I appreciate your frankness, but have you ever thought about it, I just met you in this city, why would I look for you?"

"I said: Because you and the rest of the people are only meeting each other, they are not much more reliable than me."

Smith laughed out loud and said, "Lin, you're not only blunt but also smart, yes, I don't trust those people, and I don't think those people will believe what I say, and once I investigate this matter, they will definitely stop me based on their own interests."

"Speaking of this, Smith opened one of the articles in a bunch of documents with English titles, and saw that in addition to the words, there was also a small picture in the document, which belonged to the mural style, which described the scene of two men and women in golden holy robes committing suicide in front of the Apollo sculpture, the man self-immolated, and the woman disemboweled, but in addition to the two sacrificers, there was also a person with his hands on the ground, vomiting blood, which seemed to be the third sacrificer."

At the same time, a priest with a solemn expression in his hand seemed to be leading the way of all this, and I was shocked to say: "This is basically the same as what happened in front of the Sun Temple yesterday, except that the third martyr and the two sacrificers are missing, and even the background is exactly the same." ”

Smith pointed to the picture and said: This is the classification of various sacrificial rituals in the occult, in order to collect these materials, I have been to large libraries around the world, and the picture of the ritual of divine punishment, I found the corresponding information in the Italian National Library, this ritual has no specific source, and it expresses the belief of human beings in this civilization in the sun and moon gods."

"They felt that the gods of the sun and the moon were husband and wife, who ruled over everything on earth, including mankind, and whenever they were angry, they would take out their anger on the world and punish mankind by making it impossible for them to have children, cutting off offspring, and dying out."

"So this group of people will hold a ritual to pray to the god of the sun and the moon, there is no more literature about them, but the people who believe in this kind of sacrifice call themselves the children of the sun and the moon, I am surprised that it is not the consciousness itself, from the literature can know that this is a very ancient sacrificial ritual, human beings with such beliefs have long since died out, but why is this ritual repeated in China thousands of years later? This is indeed intriguing, because it is clear that this is supposed to be a mythical product belonging to Western civilization. ”

Hearing this, I finally understood why the woman hooked up with the actor, this was not out of physical need at all, but because she had already begun to carry out terrifying and weird sacrifices. ”

Smith continued: "This dark ritual began with a sexual act between a man and a woman, and my guess is that the man and woman in the report must have had sex before. ”

"I didn't think much of it at the time and blurted out: yes, that's it."

Smith didn't notice a flaw in this sentence, and he asked, "How do you know?"
