The universe is boundless, and the galaxy is vast.

The temporary base is located on the outskirts of the city and also has a certain amount of light pollution. But the weather is pretty good today, and you can still see a lot of stars.

Lu Ming sat on a chair on the edge of a gazebo, leaned on the back of the chair, looked up at the stars in the sky, and fell into contemplation again.

He was facing the same direction as the CSK-9602 galaxy.

It is certainly impossible to see it with the naked eye. Even standing on the summit of Mount Everest, isolated from all light and air pollution, combined with the best weather conditions, it is impossible to see with the naked eye. But Lu Ming still looked at it fixedly.

He seemed to feel that galaxy as huge as the Milky Way was moving quietly in the vast universe more than 100 million light-years away.

It is the origin of everything.

Lu Ming sketched one image after another in his mind. There is an eye-like magic eye galaxy, Professor Zhou Tianyang, Professor Luo Yang, Shu Changshan, Shu Yang, Shu Yue...... Many, many people or things keep appearing and disappearing in his mind.

He thought about it until late at night, then shook his head, got up, and went back to his room while touching his head, which was a little dizzy from overuse of his brain.

Nothing has been found today.

During the day the next day, Lu Ming slept until ten o'clock before getting up.

The time set by the party to return to the eucalyptus is early tomorrow morning.

Today is the last day that Lu Ming can use.

But today, he wasn't going to think about it anymore.

"I still believe that the universe we live in must have laws, must be understood, explained, and described in the language of mathematics and physics. We can't see the truth of the universe now, just because the current level of science is too low.

The unknowability and chaos that the Cthulhu system considers must not be the nature of the universe. It must be wrong.

Perhaps, when our technology has developed to a certain extent, and then we look back at this matter, we can easily draw accurate conclusions. It's just ...... now"

He shook his head silently in his heart.

He's come to terms with what he is doing.

He is clearly aware that at this stage, it is unlikely that he will be able to complete the analysis of this incident simply by relying on logical combing and adherence to science.

In any case, all visible crises have been resolved and hidden dangers have been eliminated. As for some things that are really unclear in the process, I will leave it to be solved later. At least the result is good, how is the process, why bother so much, isn't it?

So he had to put his mind down and let himself be diverted by some of the rest of the things.

He took a shower, shaved and left the room.

"I figured it out Captain. We'll go back tomorrow. ”

Zhang Dingshan paused and said, "Okay." ”

This is the end of the matter.

Lu Ming diverted the topic: "What about He Wei?" ”

"What about the kitchen. She said that at noon, she would cook a dish for us to taste, and it would be regarded as a celebration. ”

"Oh? Doesn't she just eat? Will you do it yourself? It's a good thing to try. Lu Ming had a smile on his face: "I'll take a look." ”

When I came to the kitchen, I saw He Wei busy there.

An old hen has been shed at the moment, and the internal organs have been taken out, and He Wei is holding a kitchen knife and cutting it into pieces one by one. His knife work is skillful, and his strength is just right, and he will cut off a piece neatly and neatly as soon as he goes down. Even if there is an occasional knife that cannot be cut, the second time the knife is cut, it will always fall exactly on the marks of the previous knife, and there is no mistake at all.

】

Looks like an old chef.

"He Wei, I didn't see it, the knife work is okay."

He Wei, who was focused, came back to her senses and looked at him in some surprise: "You don't want to?" ”

Lu Ming shook his head: "I can't think of it." Let's tie it. ”

He Wei went down with a knife and cut off a piece of the hen, but the knife was not raised again.

After a moment, she seemed to say to herself: "It's okay." We can't solve it, let's talk about it later. ”

After that, she lifted the kitchen knife again, continued to chop the chicken pieces, and said: "This so-called knife worker, how to say it, cutting chickens, and cutting people, in fact, are the same, you have to pay attention to strength and accuracy, cutting people are not accurate, the force is wrong, as a result, people who don't want to be hacked to death are hacked to death, and those who want to be hacked to death can't be hacked to death." Chop chicken pieces, it's the same, the force is too big to hurt the hand, the force is small to chop constantly, if you can't cut it accurately, it's easy to cut out the scum and minced meat......"

Lu Ming Yile: "Chopping people and chopping chickens, can it be the same." ”

"It's pretty much the same."

"How do you remember to cook for yourself? I also got an old hen, tsk. ”

He Wei rolled her eyes: "I've been eating in the cafeteria for a long time, and I'm about to vomit." I just heard that the old hen in Nanli Mountain tastes good, so I can't taste it. Don't underestimate this chicken, it's more than 400 yuan, and I asked the people from the Public Security Bureau here to find it.

”

"More than four hundred? Poor and crazy, right?! ”

Lu Ming was taken aback.

The ordinary white-striped chicken in the supermarket is only twenty or thirty yuan. It is understandable that the old hen is more expensive, but more than 400 yuan is an exaggeration, right?

"Don't be too expensive, it's hard to buy. More than 400 yuan is still a friendly price. I turned around and asked Qingliang if we had any meal allowance left, and I found a way to reimburse it. ”

He Wei was a little painful.

The salary of the second team is not low, but He Wei also spends a lot of money, and he refuses to use privileges like the rest of the squad, so of course he has to save some money. If it can be reimbursed within a reasonable range, of course, it must be reimbursed.

Lu Ming looked at the kitchen and saw some strange-shaped fungi outside the old hen. Needless to say, it's definitely going to be stewed together.

Looking to the side again, Lu Ming's eyes were a little straight.

"What the hell? Cordyceps? What are you doing here? ”

"Stewed chicken, it's expensive, it cost hundreds of ...... just like that."

"Do you still believe this?"

Cordyceps sinensis is actually a larvae of a fungus that infects a certain insect, and it sprouts and grows from the corpse of the insect in the summer.

Legend has it that this thing is a big supplement, and the price will also rise. But Lu Ming didn't believe much in this set.

In his heart, He Wei has always been a more rational person, but he didn't expect to believe in this thing.

"Believe it or not." He Wei shook her head: "I'll just eat it." The local famous dish, Cordyceps stewed chicken, must have Cordyceps to make that taste. Tut, look at this, the light cordyceps and the old hen are 1,000 yuan, and the local restaurant only sells this dish for 4 or 500 yuan, you say this may be authentic. ”

Lu Ming instantly felt reasonable.

"I said, why did you buy chicken and cordyceps today, and cook it yourself...... Alright, I'm waiting for you, I'll have to try it. ”

"Wait, two hours."

Leaving the kitchen, Lu Ming had a slight expectation for lunch.

At noon, a pot full of cordyceps stewed chicken was served, and it was really fragrant. Lu Ming sandwiched a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, and immediately a peculiar fragrance came out, making him appetite.

He Wei took out a bottle of local specialty sour jujube juice, Lu Ming took a bottle of sugar-free drink, and Zhang Dingshan took boiled water in his cup.

All three raised their glasses at the same time.

"Cheers! Let's eat! ”

After a meal, Lu Ming's stomach was round, and his heart was extremely satisfied.

After a walk and eating, the three of them separated. Zhang Dingshan continued to read books, He Wei chased dramas, and Lu Ming also planned to find a movie to watch.

Just pass the time, and I'll be back tomorrow anyway.

Lu Ming found a comedy that he had always wanted to watch before, but he had never had time to watch it, opened it, and lay comfortably on the bed.

The plot begins.

The movie is very good, the actors are all very good, and it is also very funny. Lu Ming thought that he would spend this pleasant time watching the movie in laughter, but for some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be something in his heart, and he was always unable to focus on the movie.

I don't know why, but the scenes of the morning are always repeated in my mind.

He Wei cut the hen into pieces briskly and neatly, skillfully stir-fried, added water, added various mushroom seasonings, stewed and served on the table, and everyone started eating......

Lu Ming forcibly banished these images from his mind, forced himself to stay focused, and tried to focus on the film, but he failed again.

Lu Ming realized something.

The human subconscious is a very peculiar thing. Sometimes, people have obviously let go of thinking about something, but in fact, at the subconscious level, in places that people can't detect, the subconscious is still thinking and chewing on this matter carefully.

Sometimes the results of the subconscious mind are presented in the form of intuition, and sometimes in the form of dreams.

People sometimes suddenly feel that they suddenly have an enlightenment, and suddenly they understand something that may have been a long time ago, or sometimes they subconsciously feel that they have forgotten something, but if they think about it seriously, they can't remember it, which is the embodiment of this subconscious thinking.

Of course, sometimes the result of this subconscious thinking can be so subtle that it is impossible to clearly understand what message it is conveying. But in general, these things are meaningful, not unforgiving.

The brain is an amazing being. Modern technology still has a superficial understanding of it, and there are still too many things that have not been figured out about its specific operating mechanism.

So...... At this moment, I always subconsciously recall the picture of the morning, is it the subconscious reminding myself of something?

Realizing this, Lu Ming did not resist the distraction at the moment, but took the initiative to obey it, accept it, pause the movie, and began to take the initiative to recall the pictures in the morning, and think carefully and scene by scene.

But...... The pictures and things in the morning were normal, and there didn't seem to be anything worth noting.

He Wei has always liked all kinds of food, and whenever she goes to a place, as long as she has time, she will always take the initiative to find local specialties to taste, which is normal.

Aware that the local specialties in the market are not authentic, it is normal to buy ingredients and cook by yourself.

At noon, the three of them feasted and had a full meal, which was also normal.

Everything is normal.

So, what is wrong with it that arouses the alertness of your subconscious?

And, in the past few days, I have been trying to think about this incident, is my subconscious alertness related to this incident?

After all, as the saying goes, you dream day and night, and the subconscious mind is pretty much the same.

So......

Lu Ming continued to recall carefully, and slowly, a term broke into his mind.

Cordyceps.

Aweto.

It is obviously a larva of a bat moth, but unfortunately it is parasitized by the Cordyceps fungus. After that, the Cordyceps fungus grows and develops in the bat moth larva and takes its life. When the temperature is right, the Cordyceps fungus sprouts and grows from the body of the bat moth larvae.

It was originally a bug, but later it "changed" into grass.

It completes the transformation of life forms in a sense.

In this eucalyptus at this moment, it is ......

People are human beings. However, because he saw the picture of the CSK-9602 galaxy, he mutated into a monster, and also completed the transformation of life form in a certain sense.

If you think about it along these lines, then ......

Lu Ming once again began to carefully sort out all the processes and changes from the beginning to the end of this case, and adopted this idea and framework at this moment to interpret these events from different angles.

It is entirely within the scientific system, can be described in scientific language, and does not involve any interpretation of the so-called "Cthulhu system".

So, in this quietly, what has troubled Lu Ming for a long time in the past, the last missing piece that exists in the scientific system and the logical system that interprets this incident has been quietly filled.

At this moment, Lu Ming's body suddenly tensed, and his eyes barely widened. He subconsciously sat up, and his heart began to pound.

His hands even began to tremble slightly at this moment.

He casually pulled on his shoes and rushed out of the room.

Hours had passed quietly in the previous thoughts. It's late afternoon.

The sun is already setting in the west, and it will soon set. Lights have been lit up in some places. Night will soon fall.

Whereas...... The period between leaving work in the afternoon and going to bed at night is the most active time in a city.

At the end of a day's work, after a hard day's work, people tend to call friends, go shopping, eat, buy things, and have fun......

Rushing out of the room, Lu Ming looked up at the sky and noticed that the weather tonight was slightly different from the previous days.

The first few days were sunny and there were no clouds in the sky. And today the weather is a bit overcast, and there are clouds in the sky.

His heart was beating harder and harder.

He ran a few steps and rushed to the door of Zhang Dingshan's room, knocked on the door, and shouted at the same time: "Captain! Come out! ”

Then, without waiting for Zhang Dingshan to reply, he immediately rushed to He Wei's room and knocked on the door again: "He Wei, come out!" ”
