When the name "Demon Eye" was said by Shu Changshan, Lu Ming's heart shook slightly.

Lu Ming was very sure that he had never told Shu Changshan the name. And, with Shu Changshan's circle and energy, it is basically impossible to come into contact with these things.

- It's just a god stick, it's unlikely that he's going to get in touch with the astronomical world, and it's impossible to know the contents of the second team's investigation.

So...... How could he possibly know that the core of the eucalyptus he was investigating was the Demon Eye Galaxy?

Could it be that this Shu Changshan really has some incredible magical power that can obtain information from the underworld through some kind of strange connection?

Lu Ming's expression became more and more serious.

He adjusted his sitting posture and said seriously: "What do you mean by the code name just now?" ”

Shu Changshan said bitterly: "I can't tell you its real name, I can only say its code name." Even myself, I have to keep my mind from thinking of the name. Even if you can't control it, you should remember it as few times as possible. ”

"Why?"

"The Monoculus is extremely powerful and has a very high personality. Even if a creature who is very far away from it inadvertently utters its name, or even thinks of its name too many times in its head, it will cause the creature to have a strange connection with it, and it will be noticed. ”

This...... That's a bit ridiculous.

Lu Ming was noncommittal. He neither believed nor did he completely disbelieve.

Lu Ming is certainly a rational person who believes in science, but he is also a pragmatist. He doesn't mind accepting the existence of another system if something outside of science shows logic and causality. The reason why he has been so firm in science in the past is only because there are too many examples that have proved again and again the falsehood and absurdity of the so-called system other than science, and the scientific system itself has been proven again and again, and it can be seen and touched, and it has really changed the world in which mankind lives.

Again, if there is solid enough evidence for the existence of ghosts, then scientists must be the one who is most interested. The Cthulhu worldview is as true for Lu Ming as it is for scientists.

The only question is whether the evidence is strong enough.

"Tell me what you know about MONOCULUS."

Shu Changshan slowly recalled, and said with a little emotion: "In the contact with the 'Light Chaser', I intermittently learned some information about the magical beings that exist in the universe, including some ...... about the Demon Eye."

Lu Ming interrupted him: "Did the 'Light Chaser' tell you?" ”

"No, it wasn't what it told me." Shu Changshan shook his head: "Every time I communicate with the 'Light Chaser', it will randomly instill a lot of information into me, huh...... It doesn't seem appropriate to say that it is indoctrination, but it is more accurate, it is ......

Just like when you see this coffee table, you will receive the information of the coffee table, know its appearance, size, material, etc. I sensed the Light Chasers, and I received this information naturally.

This information is cluttered and messy, a lot of it doesn't make sense at all, but a few of it is useful. ”

Lu Ming nodded.

In the process of coming into contact with mythical creatures, you will be forcibly indoctrinated with knowledge, well, this is also very Cthulhu.

Shu Changshan continued: "The Demon Eye is one of the most top-notch mythical creatures in the starry sky. It has a very peculiar shape, and its body is as large as a river system, and it also operates like a river system. It likes to follow the laws of physics and stay where it fits, largely camouflaging itself as a normal river system, exhibiting anomalies only in subtle parts, in order to attract life that exists throughout the universe to observe itself.

The creatures in the universe, if they accidentally see it, if they see it clearly enough and real enough, they will be 'polluted' by its power, and they will lose control and become monsters, and eventually their bodies and souls will be swallowed by it.

It also likes to create some strange vortex and spread it across the vast universe. Some high-tech civilizations with interstellar navigation capabilities will be teleported to the side or body of the MONOCULUS if they are accidentally sucked up by the vortex.

What it likes to see most is the creatures carried by these spaceships carefully exploring this new starry sky and struggling to survive in this completely unfamiliar environment. It will continue to play pranks on these creatures until they completely collapse and go completely crazy out of fear and despair. After that, it will devour these creatures along with their bodies and souls. ”

Lu Ming was silent.

At this moment, listening to Shu Changshan, a god stick, talking about things like science fiction alien civilizations and astronautics, he felt very strange in his heart.

If what Shu Changshan said is true, then this magic eye ...... It's really bad.

Reason told Lu Ming that all this that Shu Changshan said was too ridiculous and had no credibility. But he also noticed that Shu Changshan had really said something that had happened in reality.

People who see the magic eye will go crazy and mutate into monsters.

These things have been realized, and they have really happened in front of my eyes.

Lu Ming asked, "The 'Light Chaser' told you that there are many alien civilizations in this universe?" ”

"Yes. There are many, many more. Many of these civilizations are far more technologically advanced than ours. ”

Lu Ming said: "I believe that after the progress of science and technology to a certain extent, it is the instinct of every civilization to explore the starry sky. And if that's the case, doesn't that mean that basically every more advanced civilization can observe the MONOCULUS and will be affected by the MONOCH? ”

The Monoculus is a vast river system. It exists in the universe like that, and you can see it from any direction.

With the scientific and technological strength of human beings at the moment, it can be seen more clearly from a distance of more than 100 million light years. Then after the progress of science and technology again, it is not difficult to see it clearly with deep space observation equipment that is more than human civilization from a billion or even ten billion light years away.

Also, such a galaxy that looks generally normal, but can easily detect something that is not normal, will naturally attract the interest of scientific scholars, and it will be easy for them to explore the galaxy.

Because it means the output of scientific research results, it means new theories.

At the beginning, Zhou Tianyang's team decided to use the Mercury space telescope to observe the Mercury space telescope because of the relatively abnormal metallicity of the Magic Eye galaxy and the slight deviation from the current galaxy evolution theory of the human world.

From this point of view, every civilization will begin to study it after it has developed to a certain extent. In this way, it can be concluded that every civilization will be affected by it.

Shu Changshan sighed: "Yes." No civilization can escape it. In the process, some civilizations perished, and some civilizations successfully handled the matter and escaped.

If I'm not mistaken, you're coming to me because our civilization has been affected by the Magic Eye, right? Not...... Maybe someone has lost control and turned into a monster at this moment. ”

Lu Ming's heart sank: "Since you know, why did you reject me at the beginning?" ”

Shu Changshan smiled bitterly: "I'm just an ordinary person. The matter of the fate of civilization is too big for me to interfere with. I just want to live my own life, and I don't want to be involved with a top-level evil god like MONOCULUS. My gut tells me that this is dangerous for me. ”

Lu Ming snorted: "How did the rest of the civilizations deal with the matter of the Demon Eye?" ”

Shu Changshan shook his head: "I don't know." I only know that knowing that there are countless dangers and threats in this universe, being in awe of the stars in the universe, and carefully exploring them are the compulsory courses of every civilization after it has reached a certain stage of development. Only civilizations that follow this rule and are lucky enough to survive for a long time. Otherwise, it is doomed. ”

"What advice do you have for dealing with the MONOCULUS?"

"What else could you suggest? Isn't that obvious? Shu Changshan spread his hands: "Calm down the situation as soon as possible, don't be curious, don't explore, don't delve into the truth, endure this time." In the future, we can't hide if we can't afford to provoke us? Just hide. ”

Lu Ming didn't fully trust Shu Changshan's words at the moment, and he didn't even believe it. However, he still realized that according to Shu Changshan's explanation, the best plan for his side to deal with the Demon Eye was to directly execute all these people affected by the Demon Eye at the beginning of the incident, and then strictly prohibit the observation of the Demon Eye Galaxy again. In this way, everything will be fine.

Even if those people are not executed, they should be strictly guarded just like Luo Yang should be imprisoned, so as to prevent them from escaping.

At that time, they could not have predicted that they would mutate into monsters and escape. Having a few security officers on duty day and night in a psychiatric hospital was already the limit of what could be achieved at that time, and there was no reason to go any further.

But...... If they had known the information Shu Changshan had said at the time, although it was still unlikely that they could trust him, at least it would have been predictable to raise the security level to eliminate the risk.

In this way, it avoids the occurrence of the monsters escaping, and also avoids the situation where the monsters act inexplicably in the future, and their own side still does not know their true purpose.

It's a pity that now I know these things, but it's too late.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming was a little annoyed in his heart. But after glancing at Shu Changshan, he sighed again in his heart.

This is just an ordinary person who is trying his best for his son, for his daughter, and for his own condition. I really can't put higher demands on him with a major event like the so-called "fate of civilization".

At this point, there is no use in complaining about past mistakes. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.

"But now...... Events have erupted. ”

Lu Ming slightly revealed some eucalyptus to Shu Changshan: "There are indeed people who have mutated into monsters. Then, these monsters are out of our grasp. Moreover, these monsters have done something we can't understand, and they seem to be making sacrifices to the Magic Eye. ”

Shu Changshan frowned and pondered for a moment, then sighed: "This is a bit troublesome. I'll take a look at the specifics. Tell me everything you know. ”

Lu Ming thought for a while and said, "You can follow me to our base first." I'll talk about the specifics when I get there. And...... These things are top secret. To be a part of this, I need to validate your abilities. ”

Only by confirming that Shu Changshan really has some kind of peculiar ability that really helps solve this matter will Lu Ming let him really get involved.

There is no basis for his words, and in the end, he has to show his true skills in order to make him trust.

Shu Changshan's brows furrowed, looking a little unhappy.

Lu Ming could understand his mood.

You want me to help you solve the problem, but what verification do you need to do? If you don't trust me, don't come to me.

Lu Ming looked at him quietly without any expression. And, perhaps remembering the conditions that Lu Ming promised him, Shu Changshan finally sighed and agreed.

"Good. How do you want to verify? ”

"What are your abilities? What can be done? ”

"I don't have the slightest special ability. I just have some knowledge. Shu Changshan said directly: "To do something, I need to sacrifice to the Light Chaser, hold a ceremony, and let it help me complete it." ”

"So, what can Lightseekers do?"

"Change your fate to a certain extent and make things as good as possible; exorcise evil spirits; Lift or apply curses; In the occult sense, the effect of changing a certain area or a building on the human body. This is an ability that I have already explored, and the rest must be there, but I don't know the corresponding rituals and taboos, and I don't want to study and explore them anymore. Where I am now...... Not allowed. ”

None of these things sound like abilities that can be measured with precise metrics.

How can changing fate be considered a change? Does it have to be like in the previous "doom-ridden" case, measuring luck in exponential form? Wraiths? Where are the spirits? Curse? Where can I find this subject? As for "changing the impact of a certain area or a certain building on the human body", this is not Feng Shui, right?

Lu Ming thought for a moment and then gave up. How to design a set of tests to verify Shu Changshan's ability can be discussed later, and everyone will discuss it together. There is no hurry to be sure now.

"Let's go to our base first."

"Good. I'll arrange it first. ”

Shu Changshan arranged things at home, and followed Lu Ming to the temporary base where Luo Yang was imprisoned, and was temporarily placed in a dormitory to rest. Lu Ming met with Zhang Dingshan and He Wei, and notified Lu Qingliang to start the video conference again.

"Of the four clergy I saw, two were identified as liars. One person has not yet been determined, but there is a high probability that he is also a liar. Only the one named Shu Changshan, I think there is a need for further verification. ”
