139: When sincerity reaches its limits

Zhou Baiyu looked at all kinds of pushes.

Realize that "pollution" has already begun to take effect.

This is indeed something that everyone is pursuing, and it is hidden in people's subconscious.

Zhou Baiyu has not yet known the details, but looking at the "husband who committed the crime" just now, as well as all kinds of truth-breaking news on his mobile phone......

He speculated that the source of pollution in Linxiang City was related to the "truth".

He didn't linger, and his friends must have discovered the problem.

Zhou Baiyu, who originally planned to go home, just used the phone to report to his parents that he was safe, and immediately began to walk towards Yunjin Tianjiang.

……

……

Youke New Town.

Ms. Wang and Mr. Zhou's married life has always been harmonious.

Especially after recently learning that her son is some kind of magical adventurer, similar to an investigator who manages some special supernatural events, Wang Shufen has recently become obsessed with various supernatural games.

This is the third day after the announcement of the defensive mode, and the third day that the pollution has officially begun to affect the entire city of Linxiang.

On this day, Zhou Zeshui bought a new vinyl record and went home, and he was happy.

The so-called harmonious conjugal life is ...... Even if love has become family affection, when there is something happy, he will still share it with the other party as soon as possible.

Zhou Zeshui has always doted on his wife and said:

"It's weird today, when I go to buy a record, I usually remember that I have to ink for a long time, after all, some things have an age, and the price fluctuates greatly, in the eyes of those who need it, it is very valuable, and in the eyes of those who don't need it...... It's not as good as a new one. ”

"You know I like old records, the price is 1900, but I said cheaper, and the boss said directly, you have to let me make some money, right? 1900 is not expensive anymore. ”

"So I asked, and I said how much you received when you brought it. This question is actually a bit offensive, but guess what, the boss said, 1100 received, I was happy at the time, and then I bought this order for 1200. ”

"It's so strange that I just asked for the reserve price."

Ms. Wang Shufen obviously doesn't care about the record, she captures the key point at once:

"How can you afford to buy a 1200 record? Is it hiding private money? ”

Zhou Zeshui just wanted to say: How can I hide private money.

But on second thought.

How can I fool Shufen?

Yes, my previous behavior was so bad that I actually hid my private money behind her back.

Ms. Wang Shufen actually didn't care about Zhou Zeshui's private money at all, the family had enough money, and she trusted Zhou Zeshui's character.

But there are some things~ that are the fun engraved in people's bones.

For example, hiding private money, and discovering private money.

However, to Wang Shufen's surprise, Zhou Zeshui found out all the private money hidden in various places in the house.

has a total of more than 60,000 yuan, and honestly admits that after saving for half a year, I want to buy some out-of-print records.

This frankly made Wang Shufen a little uncomfortable.

Like is equal, and love is willing to bow down. The husband and wife have been fighting wits and courage for many years, and Zhou Zeshui's performance at this time simply moved Wang Shufen.

When more than 60,000 yuan entered the common account of the two, Zhou Zeshui suddenly felt a little painful......

The inner thought was, hey, what's wrong with me, why am I so honest?

Didn't I keep this money for my collection of out-of-print records? Why did you pour it all out?

Of course, there are a lot of little secrets between the husband and wife, but they are all harmless and do not affect their feelings.

There are even some good intentions to conceal for the good of the other party.

As the rules of "sincerity" continue to influence and pollute people, the feelings of Zhou Baiyu's parents have not subsided.

On the contrary, I know a lot of careful thoughts that the other party's heart is full of love.

Because each other still regards each other as the most important person, all secrets are surprises in life.

But this couple is like this, and other couples are different.

……

The night was destined to be uneventful.

More and more secrets are exposed because of the sincerity of people's hearts.

It's in the community of Youke New Town, upstairs of the sweet Ms. Wang and Mr. Zhou.

When the man went home late at night to face the woman's interrogation, the man was stunned for a moment, and then honestly said that he went to the foot washing city to wash his feet.

In the face of accusations, some people will admit it calmly, while others will choose to find out the mistakes of the other party, and seek a sense of moral satisfaction by compensating for mistakes.

So in the process of blaming each other, the two began to expose their secrets to each other.

A complicated relationship that is so bloody that I dare not make it up comes out.

To put it simply, the man - since the day the woman became pregnant, he has cheated on the body dozens of times.

Dozens of women's contact information are hidden in WeChat. All dates, ages are remarked. Of course, this WeChat is a small account.

As for the woman, it can be summed up more simply - I went downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, and I could meet nine people who had sex with you.

People can't imagine that when everyone is open and honest, there will be a huge crisis of trust.

The couple's relationship was shattered.

In other words, in fact, it has long been shattered, and it is only at this moment, under the "distorted sincerity", that they finally accept this.

Overnight, there were countless derailments in Linxiang City, and the child was not biological.

……

……

Early the next morning. This is the fourth day of the spread of pollution.

The more it spreads, the more obvious that strong sense of sincerity becomes.

In the police station, the prisoner Liu Dali confessed to his crime.

But no police officers have been surprised. It seems that telling the truth is common sense.

Of course, there is a lot of big news today.

A live entertainment talk show is being broadcast in the shopping mall.

When a celebrity was asked about his love status, the star, who was previously set up as an abstinent person, said the names of more than 40 actresses, as well as working women in the industry and well-known Internet celebrities.

As the problems increase, the revelations become more and more violent.

Almost all the celebrities' personalities in the entertainment industry collapsed on this day.

But on this day, they returned to the sincere side.

This is absolutely shocking in the past. But today, there is not even a single blister in Linxiang City.

Because there are too many melons in Linxiang City today.

The remarks of some officials, any word, are much more shocking than the melons of these traffic stars.

The truth of countless unfinished buildings has surfaced.

Countless murders committed by high-level officials have also been re-opened.

These topics simply cannot be suppressed.

Linxiang City is like a nuclear explosion, constantly conveying shocking topics.

The corruption and sin hidden in the deepest part of human nature have been put on the table again and again, and they have been watched and baptized by everyone.

The order of society has also begun to suffer because of countless bloody truths.

……

……

Yunjin Tianjiang.

People marching outside the window were denouncing the embezzlement of a bank president and a high-ranking official for seven years in the green area of Linxiang City.

There was a long queue for divorce outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, and everyone's faces were not good-looking.

Zhou Baiyu was in the big flat, looking at the scenery outside, and had to sigh that this second round of defensive mode was indeed terrifying.

I don't know how long it will take for this "sincerity" to spread to areas outside Linxiang City.

But this is only the fourth day, presumably on the fifth and sixth days, the surrounding districts, counties, towns and towns will be affected, right?

The living room is connected to a balcony.

Zhou Baiyu watched the chaotic scene outside from the balcony, and there was an advertisement for reverse delivery on the TV.

"The world is in pain. Because it is too real, the order has been shattered. ”

"In a sense, the growth and even maturity of human beings is reflected in the skill of lying, and the progress of human civilization is essentially different from other species in that this species can brag."

"It is precisely because of the lies that we are wrapped in lies that there is a need to appeal for sincerity."

"But if one day ...... All that remains of humanity is sincerity. ”

"Then all the good things that lie builds will go through a tragic breakdown."

Zhou Baiyu woke up early.

Ling Hanru rubbed his sleepy eyes, Konstantin yawned, and Nina had already prepared clothes for him.

A carp stiffened up, and the light and dust twisted their necks.

And everybody came out of his own house.

"Brother Zhou, what are you talking about?"

Ling Hanshu heard Zhou Baiyu's self-talk and asked curiously.

"Nothing."

There were no three words, which made Ling Hanshu believe that it was really nothing, so she wondered if she had just had auditory hallucinations.

It was a lone battle.

Zhou Baiyu has already realized it.

Thanks to Dr. A's potion, Zhou Baiyu has a considerable degree of resistance to corruption and pollution.

But this is not complete resistance.

Zhou Baiyu can actually feel that if he stays in the country of joy for a long time, he will gradually become a slave to laughter.

Nowadays, it can be said that there are sources of pollution, and attempts are being made to turn Linxiang City into a "real country".

Here, human beings have no privacy, and people answer whatever you ask.

There may still be some people who can do not lie, but do not answer.

But over time, everyone will get used to this world where there is absolutely nothing to hide.

And Zhou Baiyu himself must be in this world, as if he was injected with a truth elixir.

But at least for now, he still has the ability to resist.

Even, he has the ability to lie.

However, although he has some ability to resist, his teammates do not.

Because......

Zhou Baiyu had no sleep all night, shocked by the corruption of this world, shocked that so many truths had been subverted.

But the partners slept soundly.

This means that the partners have gradually come to terms with the world.

Even when everyone gathered, no one felt a sense of disobedience.

"Our task today is still to find the source of pollution in the defensive mode, by the way, Wuxin arranged it in the hotel, right? Let's clean up his room as soon as possible. ”

He who speaks is with the light.

Zhou Baiyu asked tentatively:

"Don't you perceive the source of the pollution? Don't feel like you've been contaminated? ”

"No, do you notice?" He Guang Tongchen looked at Zhou Baiyu.

Everyone also looked at Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu smiled and shook his head:

"I don't either, I'm sorry. Everything is normal in the city. Where is the source of the pollution? ”

It wasn't intended to deceive his teammates, it was just a test.

When Zhou Baiyu lied, he could clearly feel that his tone was sluggish.

Became suspicious of his own actions.

This gave him a sense of crisis.

His deceitful mouth is losing its most valuable abilities.

Of course, his lies are testing something else. Some of the things that Zhou Baiyu was a little afraid of.

Zhou Baiyu continued to ask:

"By the way, yesterday's latest scientific research journal found that the previous theories were all false, the earth is the center of the universe, and the sky is round and the place has been proven to be true again."

Quiet as a needle.

For a moment, Zhou Baiyu even thought that these people were frozen.

It seems to be overwhelmed by a huge lie.

It's as if something suddenly makes the brain freeze.

But only for a moment, a brief moment later, Konstantin exclaimed:

"I see, it's amazing, human exploration of the universe has gone further."

There was surprise in Konstantin's eyes, but soon that surprise disappeared.

Because in this world, no one will lie, everyone must be sincere, so what Zhou Baiyu said naturally had to be the truth.

So soon, Konstantin and everyone in the living room accepted a fact-

The earth is the center of the universe, and the sky is round.

Everyone was a little surprised, but it was just the kind of surprise that they got new knowledge.

But Zhou Baiyu is not, Zhou Baiyu's heart is rippling, he was just tempting before, but when his guess became a reality, he still felt fear.

Yes, fear.

Zhou Baiyu can imagine......

If the world is allowed to spread by pollution, people will completely lose the ability to distinguish falsehoods.

If people all over the world only tell the truth, maybe it would be fine. But human beings undoubtedly lose a lot of imagination.

When human beings review the various previous literatures and some of the hypotheses that have been overturned, I am afraid that they will also fall into a great contradiction.

But all this is not the deadliest.

The deadliest thing is......

What if the source of the pollution itself is a lie?

When everyone in the world is in a state of "incomparably sincere", that is the only one who can lie...... He will inevitably become the emperor of this world!

Because every one of his lies will be taken as the truth.

Zhou Baiyu's heart thumped. It's only been a few days......

The pollution is so serious that it can affect the common sense of the people.

But everyone, simply can't notice it.

Every lie at this time may cause a bug in the cognition stacked by human beings.

Zhou Baiyu finally realized the specifications of this defensive mission.

If you don't get it right......

This is equivalent to destroying a program from the destruction of the underlying code, directly triggering a real "sincere apocalypse".

"Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you, you're breathing so fast?"

Ling Hanshu carefully noticed that Zhou Baiyu's face was pale, and his whole chest was constantly rising and falling.

Zhou Baiyu shook his head:

"I need to be quiet, I haven't figured out something."

"That's right......"

Zhou Baiyu wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong? Talking slurred. Awakening impermanence frowned.

Zhou Baiyu shook his head:

"It's okay, I suddenly forgot what to say, I'll go rest first."

Zhou Baiyu walked into his room and closed the door.

In the face of the eternal night, in the face of Poluk, these powerful enemies, he did not have this feeling of panic, but just now, he was suddenly a little scared.

"Damn, it almost got into trouble."

Zhou Baiyu actually wanted to say just now: By the way, I actually lied to you just now, there is no round sky, and the earth is not the center of the universe.

He tries to use the existence of lies to make his teammates realize that there are disguises, lies, and real opposites in this world.

But when he was about to do so, his instincts conjured him up to a terrifying image.

He is worried that the huge contradiction will directly cause his teammates to have some kind of thinking bug and fall into a state of crash.

"Calm down, calm down...... Zhou Baiyu, now you can still lie, you can still distinguish lies, that means you still have time. ”

Zhou Baiyu closed his eyes and began to think about countermeasures.

"The most important thing right now is to find the source of the pollution and dig up his godhead brand."

"But how do you find out?"

Zhou Baiyu suddenly thought of something.

Suddenly, he opened the door, walked out of the bedroom, and looked at Konstantin.

Konstantin had changed into his usual coat and was ready to go out to investigate the contamination.

"Constantine, the fallen believers, or the source of pollution, must have followed God's creed himself?"

Konstantin frowned:

"I didn't understand what you mean, I didn't understand too much."

Zhou Baiyu explained:

"For example, the fallen believer in the god of laughter and pleasure must have been a person who loved to laugh?"

Not necessarily, God may be like that. But this is not the case for believers who have received a portion of God's power. ”

Konstantin shrugged his shoulders and explained:

"I believe in the god of liquor and debauchery, but in fact, I can also borrow wine, in a sense, we believers, whether we are pure practitioners or polluters, are people who borrow divine power."

We may agree with some of God's creeds, but not necessarily absolutely.

周白榆 says:

"So...... A person who believes in the god of laughter and pleasure may be able to face certain things without forcing a smile? ”

"Of course." Konstantin said with great conviction.

Zhou Baiyu understood.

Yes, the new gods who have been promoted from the corrupt seed to God may indeed have carried out their womb.

The god of laughter and happiness may really be smiling in the face of everything.

Then this overly sincere God may also really think that all things should be honest with each other.

But his followers, after all, are just people who thirst for power, and they, as polluting species, may only enjoy power purely.

Zhou Baiyu came to a conclusion -

This God has to do with sincerity, but believers in this God may not be able to lie.

Imagine if everyone in the world thought there were no lies in the world, and everyone would tell the truth...... In such an absolutely ideal world......

If a person suddenly could lie, would he really refrain from lying?

Zhou Baiyu couldn't even help himself.

For example, at this moment, he really wants to call Ishihara Satomi's husband: Ishihara Satomi is actually your long-lost brother and sister.

Or say to a certain squid that if you don't open Mystery 2, the world will be destroyed. To all pigeon authors, less than 10,000 words a day will be an infinite blind date failure.

Anyway, no one will doubt that their words are false, and they will treat them as the truth.

Such a world is simply a paradise for liars.

Rao is Zhou Baiyu knows that this kind of behavior is wrong, but he must also admit it...... This temptation is much better than the glass house in the Land of Joy.

He would even love to test it out.

Evil desires surged up at once, and Zhou Baiyu knew very well that he could definitely resist this rule for a while......

You can enjoy the huge profits brought by lying for a while!

But he eventually suppressed it and took a deep breath.

"Maybe I'll regret it in the future, but for now...... I had to find the source of the pollution while I wasn't carried away by desire. ”

"Since even I have a strong desire to lie, then the source of pollution must not be able to bear it."

"If he lies, it will cause the logic to collapse. In a sense, lying is already equivalent to superpower. ”

"Ordinary people will definitely use superpowers if they have them."

At this moment, Zhou Baiyu finally had a little thought.

"It's a showdown."

In this world that is only real, a duel between two people who can lie.
