This is also one of the great proverbs left to us by ancient Chinese sages.

However, in front of Sang Qinghong, Japan's top illusionist, this proverb has become a terrible fallacy. Even if you see it in your eyes, hear it in your ears, or even touch it with your fingers, it may still be fake.

The world of the illusionist is unfathomable and full of paradoxes, as the ancient great masters of war said, "A soldier is also a treacherous." ”

I had to repeatedly warn myself in my heart: "Illusions, tricks, should not be taken lightly." ”

In that screening room, I stood with Jayna in my arms for a long time until she calmed down.

"Sorry, it was horrible. She left my arms, her head hanging down, her cheeks flushed.

"It's the thaumaturgy of a Japanese illusionist, and it's not something that ordinary people can see. Just now, Sang Qinghong controlled your thoughts, which is indeed terrifying. But fortunately, you were able to wake up in time and didn't make a big mistake. I explained in a low voice.

Jane shook her head: "If it weren't for you, it might have been a big mistake." It seemed like a voice in my head had been repeating just now, telling me to end it all and embrace nothingness. I have never encountered such a situation, my heart is empty, and I subconsciously do what the voice tells me, thinking that it is a proud thing to pull out a gun and kill myself and end my life. ”

I turned the handle of the gun and handed the "palm thunder" back to Jane.

The illusionist's method of controlling the opponent's mind is similar to hypnosis, but it is a hundred times more sophisticated, and even an experienced thaumaturgist may be able to fall for it, let alone a scientific worker like Jane who has no thaumaturgical knowledge.

"It's okay now. I smiled and motioned for Jane to relent.

Jian Na put away the gun and smiled embarrassedly: "Mr. Xia, I hope that what happened just now will become a separate secret for the two of us, and don't tell a third party, so as not to be ridiculed." ”

I nodded: "Of course, I'm not a gossip person in the first place. ”

When the big screen goes dark, the projector automatically goes to sleep.

"There are still some information related to Sang Qinghong, but none of them have been declassified, and I need to wait for my superiors' instructions before I can provide you with further information. That's all I can do, I'm sorry. Janna said.

I nodded again: "It's okay, there's no need to say sorry, everyone has their own limits of rights and responsibilities." ”

Actually, I still have lingering palpitations, because I got out of Sang Qinghong's fantasy by luck, which made me suddenly realize that we had been underestimating and mistaking Sang Qinghong before.

Aunt Guan is a good person, and she is also my old neighbor on Qushuiting Street, and she must belong to "her own people". So, I took it for granted that the people who were with Aunt Guan were good people and could live in peace with her.

Moreover, I also thought that Sang Qinghong was a soul that had been gone for many years, and it was harmless to the people and things of this era, so we could study it boldly and without worrying about anything else.

Now I want to say that the above two views are wrong, and Sang Qinghong's existence is definitely not a blessing. It is likely that Tang Wan and I have become ignorant fishermen who uncorked King Solomon's sealed copper bottle.

Jaina turned off the big screen and walked out with me, back in the hallway.

The hallway was extremely quiet, except for the occasional slight sound of wind coming from the air conditioning vents.

"Mr. Xia, maybe we can take a break and have something to drink - my private office is on that side. Jaina sent out an invitation.

The flush on her face had not yet fully receded, revealing the young girl's youthful side.

"Good. "I didn't refuse.

If it comes, it will be safe.

I will wait in the "Mirror Room" until the ghost bodhisattva comes back and has insight into the secrets of the official aunt, and then I will leave with Tang Wan.

If you can have a better understanding of Jane Na and the "Mirror Room", it is also a good thing for "sharpening knives and not cutting wood".

We walked into another passage, turned twice, and came to a door marked with Jana's name.

Jaina held the doorknob with her right hand, and a color image of a fingerprint scan immediately appeared on the electronic screen on the side of the handle, and the door immediately made a "click" sound, and the door automatically slid open to the left.

"Please come in. Jaina held out her hand to invite.

I walked slowly into the room, and when Jaina entered, the door closed automatically.

It was a small, minimalist office with three laptops on a straight table against the wall, each with a separate printer.

On the computer screen, a program similar to an audiometer editor is working silently.

"We're collecting brain waves from the soul, just like the sounds of human exploration of outer space, looking for a needle in a haystack, and we get very little. Jaina explained to me as she started the coffee machine.

I know that the "Mirror Room" is a scientific research institution with lofty goals, and the research done must be unheard of by ordinary people.

"Miss Jane, you don't need to explain too much, lest it cause a leak. Actually, Tang Wan and I came here only for the sake of Aunt Guan, and it has nothing to do with other secrets. "I'm quick to talk, convenient with others, and convenient for myself.

Jian Na laughed: "Thank you, Mr. Xia, it's really a pleasure to chat with you." ”

In less than a minute, the coffee maker has already brewed two cups of black coffee.

I don't drink coffee very much, but the aroma of this coffee is extremely strong and invigorating.

"A piece of candy, is it okay?" asked Jana.

I nodded, "Okay, thank you." ”

Jana handed me the coffee, and we sat opposite each other.

"Mr. Xia, although you have repeatedly said that you don't want me to be sorry, I still have to apologize again, because my attitude towards you before was really bad. I always thought that the people of Jinan, especially the young people of Jinan, were not enterprising, and most of them worked hard for money, without considering social responsibility and the future of mankind. They are short-sighted, which can be described as 'rat-eyed'. How can such a group of people build cities, how can they enhance their wisdom and knowledge, and how can they look at Shandong from Jinan to China, and almost all of them look at China from Shandong. So, when the Ghost Bodhisattva said that you and Miss Tang were coming over, I had a strong prejudice against you, thinking that you were no different from the people I had seen in Jinan before......" said Jana.

I raised my glass to her, "I'm really no different from everyone else." ”

Jian Na shook her head: "No, no, Mr. Xia, you are much smarter than them." You have a lot of focus, you have a very strong ability to deal with emergencies, and you are big-hearted and not stingy. Since I came to China, I have met many young people, and you are the most perfect. ”

She looked me eagerly into the eye and added from the bottom of her heart: "Mr. Xia, if you don't dislike it, we can be best friends." You must give me this opportunity to repay you for saving your life. ”

Jenna is a young girl, and even though she is a scientific researcher with a super high IQ, she can't contain her emotions. She expressed these true feelings to me, and I can guess what she will do next.

I nodded politely, "Miss Jane, it's my pleasure, we're already good friends." ”

Jian Na paused happily: "Great, great, thank you, Mr. Xia, thank you." To celebrate this event, we have a toast with coffee instead of wine!"

She leaned forward and handed over the coffee cup.

I also handed out the cups, and the rims of the two cups touched each other, making a "ding" sound.

In an instant, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

I turned my head to see that the three computers were still working, and the counters in the upper right corner of the screen were constantly changing.

"It's not a power outage, it's weird that this hasn't happened before!" whispered Jane in frustration.

I clenched my glass and silently looked around into the darkness.

As a high-tech research institute, the power supply must be double backup or triple backup, once there is a line failure, the backup power will be automatically turned on, and it is impossible to fall into darkness for a long time.

"Mr. Xia, don't worry, the backup power will start soon. Jaanna said again.

I smiled and replied, "Okay, I got it." ”

When people are in the dark, they can't see, and their brains turn faster and think more.

I think back to the temptation under the red cloth just now, and the core of the plan is to let me take the initiative to cut the cable in a panic, so that her soul will be separated from the host, which is roughly equivalent to her soul being released and no longer under the control of the host of the "mirror room".

Sang Qinghong's scheming is so deep that people can't guard against it.

It was a fluke and providence that I was able to make the right choice in the face of chaos twice.

Perhaps, I should be more grateful to the Xia clan for their outstanding sixth sense, because its existence allows me to see the most correct path at a glance before thousands of forks in the road.

"What about next time, will you be so lucky?" I asked myself silently.

I hope that the Ghost Bodhisattva will also realize that Sang Qinghong's soul is getting out of control and must be imprisoned in multiple layers to avoid causing a devastating accident.

"Click, click, click", I heard footsteps in the hallway outside.

There was only one person who came, wearing hard-soled leather shoes on his feet, and his feet were extremely heavy, which would produce that kind of dry sound on the fireproof plastic floor.

I concluded that it couldn't be Tang Wan, because her footsteps were so soft that they were almost negligible.

Of course, it was not a ghost bodhisattva, his footsteps were light and erratic, fast and slow, irregular.

The footsteps of the man outside the door were very regular, and the size of the steps, the weight of the landing, and the speed of movement were all highly consistent, similar to the steps of soldiers in the army.

"Jana, is there security on duty inside the 'Mirror Room'?" I asked.

Jane asked rhetorically, "What? security? No, we all use electronic access control, which is more secure than human guards." ”

"Who's from there?" I asked again.

I thought that Jane must have heard footsteps at the same time as me.

"Mr. Xia, what do you mean, is there anyone outside the door?" asked Jana.

I held my breath for a moment, leaned forward, grabbed Jana's wrist, and whispered in her ear, "Silence, there's someone outside the door, something is wrong!"

Things are really wrong, since there are no security guards in the "mirror room", there will be no people patrolling in hard-soled leather shoes. Scientists are people who dress very simply and casually, and they don't wear heavy leather shoes to drag themselves down. Also, I hear footsteps and Jana can't, which is a strange thing.

I smiled bitterly in the dark: "How many strange things are there, let's come together, let's come together!"

The footsteps stopped at the doorway, and the "click" sound stopped for a moment.

As you can imagine, the next step for the people who came down the corridor was to knock or break in.

Naturally, those who knock on the door are friends or colleagues, and those who break down can only be extremely vicious gangsters or demons.

Jaanna silently approached me, snorting softly on my ears: "Mr. Xia, what happened?"

Intentionally or unintentionally, her lips also touched my ear lightly.

"There are people outside the door, and I don't know the good and the bad. I calmly whispered to her.

"It doesn't matter, the fingerprint lock is secure and the vandal-resistant door panel is extremely strong. She said.

The two of us were close together, and she naturally put her arms around my neck and her left cheek against my forehead.
