Chapter 33: The Slave of the Mobile Phone
Not only Wu Ming, but even Zhao Chensi, who is an ordinary person, is keenly aware of something wrong.
Today is the morning rush hour on weekdays, and almost every bus is packed to the brim full of canned sardines, but the bus he is sitting on does not have many passengers, and it is so empty that even the seats are more than half empty. There was a lifeless atmosphere throughout the car, and the passengers sitting on the car were playing with their mobile phones, posing indifferent to the outside world while making the interior environment look a little weird...... Dead.
No one spoke, no one looked up, not even the announcement when they arrived......
"Let's sit here, and when there are more people and get off the train, we don't have to squeeze out from the back......" Zhao Chensi and Wan Qi chose a seat near the back door of the car, and there was a somewhat depressing and dead atmosphere on the car, so that he unconsciously lowered his voice, and after helping the latter put away the bulging big backpack, he began to whisper: "I arrived on time this time, don't talk about my pigeon and your affairs again......"
Wan Qi, who had long hair tied up in braids, rolled his eyes, obviously not very interested in the boasting of his classmates and friends: "Twelve out of ten times I came out to play, you were in the pigeon, but fortunately you weren't late today, otherwise it's a question of whether we can get there today......"
Zhao Chensi was a little unimpressed: "Isn't it just to go to the abandoned village that is rumored to be haunted?" Isn't it all the same when you arrive early and late...... In my opinion, it is all evil that has been spread by people...... Do you remember the little god statue we picked up when we were in elementary school? His name, summoning process, and incantation were engraved on the back of the statue, and he said that he would wait for you to fall asleep, but in the end, we didn't summon the bald or Turu gods...... If you think about it, all our attempts and experiments since then have shown that there are no supernatural forces in this world......"
As he spoke, he suddenly felt that the mobile phone in his pocket seemed to vibrate, and the scenery outside the car window seemed to change suddenly, but he didn't care.
Wu Ming, who was sitting in the penultimate row and quietly following the two, heard their conversation, and immediately the auxiliary device played back the simulated scene at that time, and his eyelids jumped.
is a history student who aspires to become a gravedigger but chooses the wrong major, and even the tricks and age groups of death are so much better than others......
Originally, this prayer should have been declared over when Zhao Chensi met Wan Qi on time, but the remnants of his extraordinary power and past death experience made Wu Ming, who was worried, not stop tracking.
Generally speaking, even if an ordinary person performs a ritual according to urban legends, the probability of attracting extraordinary power or causing extraordinary events is very small. But if you have ever been in contact with supernatural powers, or have been affected by supernatural powers, then performing these absurd and nonsensical rituals will often attract some ...... Or rather, it's a head-on collision into some otherworldly event.
Wu Ming couldn't help but think of a popular science post he saw when he visited the firm's intranet forum two days ago - extraordinary powers will attract each other.
The popular science post for novice operators points out a common sense mistake that many novice operators can make, and there are many laws, one of which is:
The law of mutual attraction of supernatural forces.
Ordinary people who have been contaminated with extraordinary powers, or who have been effectively affected by extraordinary powers, if they have not corrected their life trajectories, removed the remnants of extraordinary powers left in their concepts, and stabilized their life trajectories, it is easy to encounter various extraordinary events one after another in their later lives.
Of course, there are many factors that make people die out of curiosity......
But if you think about it carefully, when things in the transcendent realm deliberately hide themselves in front of the world, how can the same ordinary person encounter transcendent events one after another?
Are you born lucky?
Apparently impossible.
The reason is the transcendent influence that remains on them.
One of the laws of mutual attraction of supernatural forces: everything involved in the supernatural realm is influential and attractable, and its magnitude increases or decreases according to the level of supernatural power.
The second law of mutual attraction of supernatural forces is that high-level supernatural forces will always become the center of the gathering of supernatural events and low-level supernatural forces, and low-level supernatural forces and events will always be attracted and influenced by higher-level supernatural forces.
The third law of mutual attraction of supernatural forces: supernatural forces at similar levels will interfere, attract, influence and confront each other, and when three or more supernatural forces of the same level confront each other, they cannot form a stable gathering center point.
At the end of this popular science post, there is also a series of formulas used for argumentation, as well as the calculation formulas and constants of the level of extraordinary strength, etc., Wu Ming felt that his brain hurt when he looked at it, so he simply skipped it.
Although I can't understand the formula, the post still explains the operation mechanism of the law in a statement that sardines can understand.
To put it simply, if the things in the transcendent realm are compared to various celestial bodies in the universe, then the high-level supernatural forces are like a massive celestial body, whose gravitational field can bend the surrounding space and capture the adjacent low-mass celestial bodies in this way, so as to form a vortex of events centered on the high-level supernatural forces. When multiple massive celestial bodies are confronted by each other, the small celestial bodies will not only be captured by the gravitational field of a massive celestial body, but will mediate in the gravitational confrontation between multiple celestial bodies interfering with each other, and finally a part will be torn apart and completely fall to one of them.
Therefore, when Zhao Chensi still had extraordinary power and its influence left on his body, and his life trajectory had been disturbed by extraordinary power since half a year ago, Wu Ming naturally couldn't treat this incident as an ordinary prayer.
What's more, whether it is the major he has studied or the behavior model, the current Zhao Chensi gives Wu Ming a feeling that he may die at any time and die on the spot.
So Wu Ming felt that it was necessary for him to keep an eye on this young man who was keen on death.
…………
The process of riding the car is always long and boring, Zhao Chensi and Wan Qi chatted in the car for about half an hour, the latter began to yawn and lean against the car window to make up for sleep because of the relationship between getting up early, Yandu dug around some bumpy road conditions made him inexplicably sleepy, so he squinted and fell asleep. I didn't know how long I slept in a half-dream, and it wasn't until the bus driver braked sharply that he slammed his head on the handrail of the exit door, and Zhao Chensi woke up.
"Hiss......" Zhao Chensi gasped, feeling a little gloomy rubbing his forehead that was hit by the handrail in front of him, and it took a while to ease up, he looked around roughly and found that the passengers in the car seemed to have been replaced and increased during the time he was dozing off, and now there are only two or three vacant seats left in the car that no one sits.
Zhao Chensi secretly observed the passengers with new faces, and found that each of them was concentrating on playing with their mobile phones, all of them had blank expressions, staring at the mobile phone screen with dull eyes and not even blinking their eyes, and their fingers would repeat the act of clicking or swiping the screen every once in a while as if they were automated.
This scene made Zhao Chensi have a strange illusion in his heart, feeling that they were ...... It's like being enslaved by a mobile phone......
Feeling the strange atmosphere in the carriage that was almost substantial, Zhao Chensi, who was a little hairy in his heart, muttered: "Why are you playing with your mobile phone......?"
His whispered muttering stopped operating the mobile phone as if noticed by the passengers in the car, and then they raised their heads in unison, like rusty machines, and their necks made a click-click-click-click......-click
The passengers in front, the passengers in the back, and the passengers sitting on the other side of the aisle, some of them twisted their necks one hundred and eighty degrees, some of them twisted their necks ninety degrees, some just slightly offset the angle of their necks, and then ......
Qi brushed Zhao Chensi with a penetrating smile!
