Chapter 39: Decay

After returning to the temporary base, Shu Changshan once again received the highest standard of medical care in the temporary base. Once again, top doctors from all over the world did a comprehensive physical examination of him to assess his physical condition.

The results were quickly presented to several members of the second team of the operation.

"Judging from the results of the examination, Shu Changshan's body is fine. Although his legs were paralyzed for unknown reasons, it was not uncommon for him to live to be eighty or ninety years old, even if he was disabled. This should not affect his lifespan. ”

Shu Changshan said that he would not live long. However, the most comprehensive and top-notch medical equipment examination gives the opposite answer.

But that doesn't mean a few people can start to be optimistic.

"Although the results showed that Shu Changshan was fine, I noticed that more than a dozen data directly related to health status showed abnormal declines or improvements. Although he is not going to get sick at the moment, there is no doubt that his physical condition is deteriorating. ”

This is in line with what Shu Changshan said, "I don't live long".

"Observe for two more days."

Two days later, Shu Changshan was examined again. As a result, several people clearly saw that the dozen or so data had deteriorated further.

Shu Changshan's body is still deteriorating.

And, in the past two days, he has obviously given Shu Changshan the best care. Everything he eats is made by a professional nutritionist, is nutritious, and has a reasonable proportion. In addition, there are professional therapists to provide him with health care and adjust his physical condition.

He was eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and no matter what he looked at, there was no reason for his body to continue to deteriorate.

"What did the doctors say?"

"There is no conclusion. The doctors felt very inexplicable and could not find out the cause. ”

At this moment, although he did not fully believe Shu Changshan's judgment that he "didn't live long", his credibility was greatly improved.

After that, the three members of the second action team came to Shu Changshan's room collectively.

"Mr. Shu, what is your own judgment about your body?"

Shu Changshan said bitterly: "If it's fast, it's two months, and if it's slow, it's half a year at most." ”

"There's no way to change that? Whatever materials are needed, as long as there is one on the planet, as long as the world government can do it, we can help you. ”

This promise, this strength, is not insignificant.

Shu Changshan still shook his head.

"It's useless." He muttered, "Earth, too small in the universe......"

Lu Ming was silent.

They don't know anything about the Cthulhu system. Previously, through large-scale investigations, I was able to find a way to exchange blood and save Shu Changshan.

Shu Changshan said that there is no way, that is, there is really no way.

"So...... What do you suggest? ”

"Unless you can force the monsters to perform a guiding ritual in the near future. But I'm afraid you can't. ”

Lu Ming said: "Under what circumstances will the monsters have to hold a guidance ceremony in advance?" ”

"I don't know." Shu Changshan shook his head: "There's no reason." There is no reason for them to be held earlier. ”

"Okay, you can rest well, don't worry, there will always be a way."

Several people left Shu Changshan's room and came to the conference room.

"Now it seems that we can really only find a way to force the monsters to hold a guidance ceremony in advance. Otherwise, as soon as Shu Changshan dies, we won't have any way to find them. ”

He Wei was a little distressed: "Shu Changshan can't do anything in the Cthulhu system, so we can only use conventional means to force them." Conventional means, it seems...... You can only search the mountains on a large scale, right? Let them realize that if they don't perform the ritual again, they will only be found by us? ”

"It's useless."

Lu Ming shook his head: "According to Shu Changshan, only when the guidance ceremony is held, the monsters need to go within a hundred kilometers of that mental hospital. When the ritual is not performing, it is entirely possible that they are hiding somewhere else. ”

Mt. Minami is just a branch of Mt. Oguri extending southward. The entire Oguri Mountain runs east-west, with a length of more than 1,000 kilometers, and is a veritable mountain. There are all kinds of mountains and valleys, all kinds of cliffs, valleys, rivers, forests and meadows, even if you throw hundreds of thousands of people into it, you can't search it in detail.

The monsters left Nanli Mountain and hid in Dali Mountain, but the gods couldn't find them.

It is simply not feasible to search the mountains.

"What then?" He Wei muttered: "Can you only wait for Shu Changshan to die?" ”

"I'll think again."

The hope of breaking the game once again fell on Lu Ming.

At night, Lu Ming couldn't fall asleep over and over. After tossing and turning for two hours, Lu Ming simply got up, left the room, and walked aimlessly around the temporary base again.

Even in the dead of night, the temporary base is still heavily guarded, with guards on high walls and guards patrolling the base everywhere. But no one came to disturb Lu Ming.

This allowed Lu Ming to be completely immersed in the silence, completely immersed in the question in his mind.

But no matter how Lu Ming thinks, he can't find a way at all.

It's just too hard.

Except for Shu Changshan, there is no handle in his own hands that can control the monsters, and his own side is completely unaware of their weaknesses. There are no handles and weaknesses, so what is the compulsion?

"I don't know anything about the Cthulhu system, and thinking within the Cthulhu system can't lead to results."

After thinking for a long time to no avail, Lu Ming had to make this point clear first. After that, there is a second conclusion: "It is only possible to draw results within the scientific system." ”

However, the Cthulhu system is incompatible with the scientific system. One is established, and the other is bound to collapse.

If Lu Ming decides to find a solution to the problem within the scientific system, then first of all, he must deny everything about the Cthulhu system.

This will directly lead to a consequence, that is, he must also identify Shu Changshan as wrong.

The so-called Demon Eye, the so-called Light Chaser, the Star Spirit, the Great Being that exists in the starry sky pollutes humanity, guides rituals, inspirations, etc., etc., and everything is wrong.

And if all this is false and wrong, then it will inevitably lead to the next conclusion: Shu Changshan is on the side of the monster.

The reason is very simple, if all this is wrong, but what Shu Changshan did obviously had an effect, for example, he completed an encirclement and suppression of monsters through Shu Changshan's inspiration.

The corpses of those monsters, but they are real.

The wrong approach is unlikely to make a real difference. If it is achieved, then it is either a coincidence or a double yellow.

The probability of a coincidence is too low and too low, after all, Shu Changshan's guidance is too consistent with the actions of the monsters.

Shu Changshan said that where there are sacrifices buried by monsters, there are sacrifices found. Shu Changshan said that Subject No. 1, who was imprisoned at the temporary base, gouged out his eyeball that night, and the fact is that it gouged out the eyeball. The person who saw the star map at the beginning mutated into a monster, and in the case that it was almost impossible to leak secrets, Shu Changshan also knew it clearly.

Shu Changshan said that where the monsters held the ceremony, it was convenient to find the monsters somewhere.

How coincidental and how low is the probability to achieve this fit?

Lu Ming did not consider this possibility.

Since it is not a coincidence, it can only be double yellow.

Shu Changshan was sent by the monsters to his side, and in order to achieve a certain goal of the monsters, he deliberately provided some wrong guidance for his side. At the same time, in order to make these guidelines seem correct, and in order to strengthen their trust in Shu Changshan, the monsters did not hesitate to stage a bitter trick and show the correctness of Shu Changshan at the cost of their lives.

All things considered, if Lu Ming rejects the Cthulhu system, he can only lead to such a result.

However, the reality at the moment is that in any case, the Cthulhu system has too much evidence to support it. The side failed to find any suspicions about Shu Changshan. Also, the scientific system is too weak in the face of this problem.

No matter how you say it, the people of Zhou Tianyang's team and Luo Yang mutated into monsters just because they looked at the sub-star map, which is real after all, and it can't be fake at all, right?

It also seems difficult to find solutions to problems within the scientific system.

The main thing is that the scientific system is completely incapable of explaining the motives and purposes of the monsters.

"Shu Changshan accurately said his own situation", as well as the follow-up "Shu Changshan accurately found the burial place of the monster sacrifice", "Shu Changshan accurately predicted the time and place of the monsters' ceremony", etc., are all regarded as the double yellow of Shu Changshan and the monsters, so, in this process, what did the monsters get? What has been achieved?

Yes, it is true that they have blocked Nanli Mountain for more than ten days because of Shu Changshan's request, and during this time, it is indeed possible for the monsters to do something - maybe this is their real purpose, but what did the monsters do?

You didn't notice it at all.

Is there anything that has to be locked down for more than ten days?

Don't forget, during this time, we have also provided adequate security measures for each human settlement.

Nothing seems to have to be that way to do it. In this case, it doesn't seem to make sense to say that Shu Changshan is cooperating with the monsters.

The more Lu Ming thought about it, the more he felt dazed, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt clueless.

Things are like a mess of yarn, it seems that there are threads everywhere, and there seems to be no threads at all, and there is no way to untie them.

Lu Ming glanced at the room where Shu Changshan was, and his eyes were complicated.

If he could, Lu Ming really wanted to open Shu Changshan's head and see what he really thought, so as to confirm whether he was really credible, as long as this was determined, he would have a clear direction in the future.

But he knew that even if he really picked up Shu Changshan's head, he would not get an answer.

In the human hospital, Shu Changshan's head had already been examined I don't know how many times. None of the good doctors found anything abnormal, and it was impossible for them to find it themselves.

Alas......

Lu Ming let out a long sigh, returned to his room, and fell asleep tossing and turning.

The next day, Lu Ming appeared in the conference room with two big dark circles under his eyes. He Wei didn't seem to sleep well either, and her spirit was a little poor. Zhang Dingshan still looks calm and composed.

Lu Ming talked about his thoughts and speculations last night.

Finally, he said, "I want to ...... Confirming whether Shu Changshan is really credible may be a node to solve the problem. ”

He Wei looked at him: "Can you be 100% sure that the scientific system is the underlying law of our universe?" Or to put it another way, can you be 100% sure that the so-called Cthulhu system doesn't work? ”

Lu Ming was silent for a long time, and shook his head with some difficulty: "No." ”

He Wei sighed: "Even you, who were so firm in science in the past, are now a little shaken, let alone us." ”

"I didn't waver, I just ......" Lu Ming subconsciously retorted. But he immediately got stuck, and eventually lowered his head and muttered, "Well, I did waver." ”

Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "At this stage, we can't use any way that can be detected by Shu Changshan to test his credibility. ”

"I understand."

Lu Ming nodded silently.

At least so far, there is no evidence that Shu Changshan is not credible. And, at least on the bright side, Shu Changshan has done too much and made great contributions in order to help his side. Suspecting him, testing him, or even taking more drastic measures, such as interrogating him and interrogating him, without any evidence, is not the reason to treat heroes.

"I'm ......" Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I'll push him out for a walk." Didn't he say before that the base was too stuffy? ”

Previously, they had rejected him for security reasons.

He Wei said: "I'll go with you." Mobilize a few more guards, and you should be fine. ”

Zhang Dingshan looked at the two: "Pay attention to the ways and means, don't chill his heart." ”

"I understand."

Under the protection of a large number of guards, Lu Ming pushed Shu Changshan out of the gate of the base. He Wei walked beside him and walked with Lu Ming.

Pushing the wheelchair, looking at the back of Shu Changshan's head, where white hair had already emerged, Lu Ming's eyes were full of complexity.

At the moment, the weather was sunny, the temperature was neither high nor low, because it was located in the suburbs, and when I left the base, I saw the green outside the ground. Not far away, there are ordinary people riding bicycles, driving agricultural vehicles, automobiles, etc., full of the breath of life.

Shu Changshan watched all this quietly, his eyes a little numb.

"Mr. Shu, where did you grow up when you were a child?"

The three of them chatted casually, one with no one. Before they knew it, the group had gone far away.

A gust of wind blew in his face, and Lu Ming suddenly smelled a stench, as if something was rotting.

Lu Ming, who was talking, paused unconsciously, and then continued.

“…… That's a good place. ”

Shu Changshan did not answer. He was silent for a moment before he said quietly, "You just smelled it, right?" ”
