Chapter 135: Worrying about the sky or being prepared for danger in times of peace
The philosophical idea of "Thanos" in the movie is very simple and crude - the population of the planets in the universe is developing too fast, which will quickly deplete the resources of the universe, and the solution: just snap your fingers and wipe out half of them.
If you only look at it as a stance of the villain of the movie, there is no doubt that this kind of thinking must be wrong. But what if you put aside its simplistic and crude approach and just extend the packaging on the basis of the argument?
Probably a lot of people will agree!
Zhou Daoan still remembers that when he was on Earth, when this movie was released, Thanos's "philosophy" was adapted by countless Internet jokes, and it became very popular. What does this mean? It shows that this kind of thinking is not without a market. In this world, people's minds have not yet been impacted by the information explosion, and it is difficult to accept this kind of thinking, but once they accept it, they will become obsessed.
This kind of ideology, which can shake Taoism, faith, and royal power, can be regarded as a "cult" and should certainly be cracked down. But Feng Shenglang's approach is not like Jinyiwei, and the arrest is made with great fanfare. They maintain the habit of moving quietly, always spying on the covers. It didn't take long for them to find out that the original propagator of this idea was a middle-aged scholar named Xu Zhongping.
Feng Shenglang naturally monitored Xu Zhongping while investigating his background. Soon, they discovered that behind the name of Xu Zhongping's rotten street, the background was simply whiter than white paper...... No, it should be said, there are no traces to follow. This person seems to have appeared out of thin air.
Before this matter was taken seriously enough, Xu Zhongping's footprints had spread all over the Han Domain. In these years, there are not too many literati who travel around to study and practitioners who have traveled around, so Xu Zhongping "preaches" while walking very leisurely. By the time Feng Shenglang watched him closely, he had already made a big walk.
And his last stop was Yuzhang County.
After Xu Zhongping arrived in Yuzhang County, he did not continue to spread his ideas. Perhaps he felt that the people of such a large county were relatively knowledgeable, and that rash preaching would only cause trouble. Maybe he sensed he was being targeted...... In short, he hibernate in Yuzhang County and stayed for 3 months.
During this period, it was Lin Jiafeng and his subordinates who were responsible for monitoring Xu Zhongping.
It wasn't until one month ago that Xu Zhongping suddenly broke away from semi-retreat and began to come into frequent contact with various people. However, in Lin Jiafeng's view, this kind of contact is actually a kind of "cover-up", or "throwing stones to ask for directions", in order to see if the people who are contacted are being monitored.
Feng Shenglang is used to doing this kind of thing, so he naturally won't act rashly. So, Xu Zhongping seemed to think that he was safe for the time being, and on the third day of the seventh month, he came to Liuyue Pavilion.
This is Lin Jiafeng's territory, and it is the intelligence base of Yuzhang County. Xu Zhongping's self-defeating behavior somewhat made Lin Jiafeng relax his vigilance a little. So, right under Lin Jiafeng's nose, something went wrong.
Xu Zhongping, who came to Liuyue Pavilion, met two people who were "very important in hindsight" on this floor of the Spring Tower, and after that, this person became "Xu Zhongping" - that's right, in the Spring Building, under the noses of the three girls and a few little girls, one of the people who met Xu Zhongping became Xu Zhongping, and Xu Zhongping became the appearance of that person. Quietly, the identities of the two are reversed. Then, the fake Xu Zhongping stayed in the "box" and continued to have fun, while the real Xu Zhongping quietly left.
Of course, as a rumor, Lin Jiafeng naturally would not simply stare at Xu Zhongping alone. But, after all, the fake Xu Zhongping has involved his main attention, plus he is in his territory, his somewhat lax mentality, and his own self-proclaimed illusion cultivation, can see through many false tricks...... As a result, just like that, the real Xu Zhongping secretly crossed Chen Cang.
And the reason why Xu Zhongping did this is definitely not just to get rid of surveillance. Because it won't be long before this matter will be reflected by the rumors. He did this in order to gain a brief jet lag in which he would meet someone who really mattered. Either for the sake of preaching, or for the purpose of reporting...... In short, this person's meeting with Xu Zhongping was not noticed by Feng Shenglang.
After Xu Zhongping returned to the "box", he and the pretender once again completed the identity exchange. After that, a fire broke out on the third floor of Liuyue Pavilion, the fire was spreading rapidly, and the smoke was billowing out, and in the panic, Xu Zhongping and several others withdrew.
This is undoubtedly the most serious and largest "Waterloo" in Lin Jiafeng's career as a Fengshenglang. He naturally refused to give up easily, on the one hand, Feng Shenglang went out to look for Xu Zhongping; On the one hand, Lin Jiafeng began to thoroughly investigate what happened before and after the fire that day.
Finally, in his investigation, he paid attention to the young man who died unexpectedly in the fire - the young master of the Western Zhou family, Zhou Daoan. Originally, Lin Jiafeng also thought that this young man was an unjust ghost, but he inexplicably "came back from the dead"! This made Lin Jiafeng pay attention.
After that, Lin Jiafeng took action in person, thinking that he could get some clues from this young man, but he unexpectedly suffered a big loss! But from Zhou Daoan's suspected zombie door, he made up that Zhou Daoan was doing things for the Lie family, and only a big family like the Lie family had such means and became the black hand behind Xu Zhongping......
But in a flash, the boy came to the door and kicked him on the field, crushing him under his knees......
The above content was obtained under the persecution of Zhou Daoan, Lin Jiafeng's self-abandonment, and Sister Ling's explanation and misunderstanding.
This allowed Zhou Daoan to finally connect the series of strange things that happened to him. He finally knew that he was "killed".
Lin Jiafeng, as a rumor, was hit by Zhou Daoan and lost all his self-confidence, and his mentality collapsed, and he said these things. But what he didn't expect was that this young man, whom he regarded as his opponent, let him go after he poured beans into the bamboo tube.
Not only that, but the young man also reminded him of two new clues: first, he really didn't know who Xu Zhongping met with and what he said in Liuyue Pavilion, but Xu Zhongping's meeting place was not on the fourth floor, but on the third floor. Although there was a fire, after the redecoration, the traces of this scene are gone. However, if you track down the guests around the toilet on fire on the third floor that night, you may be able to gain something.
Second, find out the cause of the fire. Since the other party has unpredictable disguise or illusion techniques, it is necessary to evacuate this place, and there is no need for such crude means as arson. But the fire can suddenly start, and it is so strong, that some means must have been used. If you investigate the cause of the fire, you may be able to get clues.
This made Lin Jiafeng, who was already wilted, suddenly regain some of his spirit! The attitude towards the boy has changed again. According to Zhou Daoan's own words, since those people have killed me, they will have an enmity with me. So, I'll help you track down those guys. If there are any new clues, he will tell Lin Jiafeng as soon as possible.
Of course, there are some details of the conversation in between, so I won't go into details. The two sides have thus become a cooperative relationship.
At this moment, Zhou Daoan, who had already left Liuyue Pavilion, was strolling down the street, and a kind of worry appeared in his heart.
Xu Zhongping and his doctrine, including who he met with, this is not what Zhou Daoan is most worried about. His concern stems from the Ark, where Fred revealed to him during the just-concluded emergency mission, where he talked about the "faction".
Order and chaos, these are the two camps that the Ark divides into all ferrymen. Although Zhou Daoan's IN-level identity is not enough to know anything about the two camps, and even before meeting Fred, he couldn't imagine that the mission was actually related to the camp. But, in retrospect, my mission really has a tendency to be in the camp!
Prison break mission, the command seems to be to get out by yourself, but it is actually to help the coffee bean escape from prison! And the identity of the coffee bean in that world is a spy of the Northern Dynasty. Isn't the enemy of the Northern Dynasty the number one power in the world? The task of coffee beans is potentially, to upset the politics of that world.
An urgent mission, a trip to the fog capital, Zhou Daoan already knew that his hidden true purpose was to "protect" the children of chaos from coming to that world. Once the Son of Chaos becomes the heir of the next king of the Sunset Empire, the results can be imagined.
In other words, the two tasks that Zhou Daoan is currently experiencing, and what he has done, are both for the "chaos" camp.
Although Zhou Daoan, who knew the important information of the camp in advance, was not willing to be defined as a "villain", this seemed to be the arrangement of the ark, and he could not choose between them.
And the real world after his rebirth is a world full of "order", he has a good identity in this world, and a future that he can strive for, even if he has nothing to pursue, he can live his life without worrying about food and clothing...... For Zhou Daoan, who had some twists and turns in his fate in his previous life, it was a life that he was willing to accept and even longed for.
However, now, Zhou Daoan, as a ferryman, smells a familiar "villain" smell from Xu Zhongping's incident! The first time he heard that doctrine, in addition to Thanos, Zhou Daoan thought of the word chaos! Could it be that the world in which you live is not real? There will also be ferrymen who "cross" to complete the faction's missions? Is it meaningful to be reborn into this world and belong to the camp of "chaos"?
Under the moonlight, walking on the street, Zhou Daoan, who looked very leisurely, was not relaxed in his heart.
The journey from Liuyue Pavilion back to the West Zhou Huizilou was not short, and Zhou Daoan kept walking. The voices of people on the streets, the chirping of the homing birds flying overhead, and even the sound of the breeze blowing, as well as the complaints of Xiao Gui being tired of walking, all got into his ears and made him feel extremely real.
"Perhaps...... Am I just worried? yes, why should I bother with it now? I still have my life to deal with, and I have death missions to face...... This is my destiny. Although my life may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the Ark, I have to be worthy of myself......"
After walking for half an hour, Zhou Daoan did a very necessary psychological construction.
