Chapter 1. Shanghai Spiritual Society

This is my fifth day in Shanghai.

Standing on the 40th floor of the East Jinjiang Hotel in Shanghai, I overlooked the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Pujiang River for a long time, but my mind was thinking about the words of the girl named "Qin Yixin" just now.

In fact, this is the main purpose of my trip to Shanghai. Because after the incident of "Strange Fate", I became more interested in the human soul. And after a series of strange things I've been through. I think that spiritualism is actually a very advanced theory, and it has a very systematic framework. It can't be understood thoroughly overnight, otherwise it would not have been possible until now, and it has been studied for so many years, and it is still an unsolved mystery.

So I found out through many channels that there is an organization called the "Shanghai Spiritual Society". Founded in 1917, the Shanghai Spiritual Society focuses on the study of souls, ghosts, life and death, and predicting the future. In fact, in China in the early twentieth century. The study of spirituality is not only directly related to the activities of helping people in religious beliefs, but also tries to closely integrate it with Western psychiatry, yokeology, hypnotism, soul photography, etc., to answer the ultimate questions of life and death, ghosts and gods, and the afterlife, and to solve the social problem of moral decay.

A few hours ago, I had wanted to go to Professor Peng Liang, the most famous professor of the Spiritual Society, and ask him some questions about souls. It's a pity that this professor, who is very famous in the national spiritual world, is not in Shanghai, so her student Qin Yixin received me.

Qin Yixin is about twenty-five years old, and he doesn't like makeup very much, but he gives people a natural, fresh, friendly and generous feeling from the inside out. She wasn't very beautiful, but she was very well organized and understood a lot, and I had lived in Shanghai for so many days, and every day she had time to discuss with me about the human soul. It made me understand the soul more deeply from another perspective.

I think that spirituality should be divided into two parts, like Einstein's theory of relativity. It consists of generalized and narrow spiritualism.

Soul science in the narrow sense refers only to the soul (or what is often referred to as a ghost), and refers to seeing people who are dead or impossible to see. Through the various cases that Qin Yixin found for me at that time, various cases for research and collection show that the real soul (ghost) is not terrifying and scary, but something much more ordinary, it looks more like an ordinary human body, only appearing for a moment and then gradually disappearing or disappearing.

Combined with the previous exchanges with Gob at the Easter Island Volcano, I believe that the narrow sense of spiritualism also includes two categories: necromancy and living spirits. There must be a difference between the two, and the way of existence should be different, such as the difference between the physical and the imaginary. But sometimes, out of fear of the unknown, people will always scare themselves, and they encounter things that modern science cannot explain for the time being. will think that this thing is going to be bad for itself.

This is due to the human instinct to protect itself. To take the simplest example, let's say an ancient person saw a modern doctor doing heart surgery, or a craniotomy, and he saw it for the first time. What would you think?

He must have thought, the devil is killing! He's going to pull out the heart and brains and eat them!

It's scary!

But is that really the case?

Perhaps the end result is that the person is really dead (the operation failed). But there is another possibility, which is to completely revive this person!

If the way the soul exists, the same is true?

The legendary "ghost body" does not want to harm you, but wants to help you?

If at that time this so-called ghost. Knowing that you are about to die or about to be in great danger, and suddenly you come up and want to help you through it, but the result may be failure (death) or success, (the ghost leaves and you successfully survive the risk), is it the same reason that ghosts or souls are not as terrible as we think?

Of course, this is only a narrow sense of spirituality.

Soul science in a broad sense should also include some phenomena that cannot be explained for the time being, such as telepathy, hypergravity, wall piercing, soul psychology and other disciplines, these phenomena are recorded in many books, but they do not really exist, there is no unified conclusion at present, and you can only understand them according to your own ideas.

And during the period when I was living in Shanghai, I was waiting for Professor Peng Liang to no avail, and I was hesitating to go back to Fengtian City first and visit later.

A strange phone call came in out of nowhere. After answering, it was found that it was Feng Tiansong. He actually told me that he was also in Shanghai now.

I asked curiously, "Why are you here too?" Coming alone? ”

Feng Tiansong's tone looked a little strange over there, "No." Two, two! ”

I was even more curious, "What are you stammering?" Is there a beautiful woman next to you? ”

Feng Tiansong was silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted like a volcanic eruption on the other side of the phone, "Beautiful fart!" She's a pervert, an old virgin, an old bastard, and now that she's gone, I'll tell you, this person is actually a ......."

As soon as I said this, I faintly heard the sound of a woman coming over and coughing slightly, Feng Tiansong suddenly changed his tone again, and said very "gently", "I came with a beautiful woman, well, yes, she is very gentle, beautiful, special, anyway, hahaha, you will know it when you see it, it is your old acquaintance." ”

With that, the phone hung up, leaving me confused. However, it can be inferred that there is a woman I know next to Feng Tiansong, and the two of them actually came to Shanghai together? Listening to the tone, it is definitely not Liu Xinxin, and Liu Xinxin was taken away by the super group as early as after that incident. So, who is this woman?

I immediately got up from the bed, constantly guessing who Feng Tiansong was from and whether there would be some kind of ambiguous relationship between them. Miscellaneous strokes.

Just as I was thinking, the call came in again. Feng Tiansong didn't even save "hey", and said directly, "I forgot to say it just now, little broken boy, where do you live, we will go to you now." ”

"Little broken child? How do you give people nicknames indiscriminately? I frowned.

Feng Tiansong's hometown dialect is sandwiched with Shanghainese, and he said in a way that "follows the customs", "Oh, what does it matter, say it quickly, little brat, get the rigidity!" ”

"I'm at the East Jin Jiang Hotel. The house number is ......"

"Alright, little boy, I'll be there in a moment!"

Leaving the phone, I was completely sleepy by Feng Tiansong, and the analysis of the soul was all left behind for a while. It's just that I kept thinking, who is the woman who came with Feng Tiansong?

……

More than an hour later, I knew the answer.

It is actually Shen Xiaoxi of the third super team, that is, the super group leader who was once in Japan, experienced the kappa incident, and was born in a relief family!

As soon as Shen Xiaoxi saw me this time, he didn't have any hostility, but smiled politely and said, "Hello Jiang Xiaohe, we met again, how are you doing?" ”

As soon as I saw her, the first thing I thought of was Li Mengzhu, who didn't know his whereabouts, so I asked directly, "Do you know, where did Li Mengzhu go?" ”

Shen Xiaoxi sighed and said, "Li Mengzhu was recently sent to train by the above, in fact, you don't know that in the days of the super group, Li Mengzhu completed many tasks assigned by the above, and there were several, all of which were unimaginable hardships for ordinary people, such as going to the Karamay area to investigate the savage incident. I'm starving there, and I can't take a bath often, so if I change to an ordinary girl, I might not talk about going, just listen to it! ”

I smiled bitterly, "So I think Li Mengzhu has development potential, even if she does some ...... Violating discipline only made her train harder, didn't it? ”

Shen Xiaoxi said, "Yes." So for a while you won't be able to see her, let alone you, even us, and you won't be able to see her. Alas, I actually miss her a little. But you don't have to worry too much, Li Mengzhu definitely doesn't have any danger. It's just about improving your abilities. ”

I nodded, a little absent-minded.

After Feng Tiansong handed me a cigarette and poked me, I realized the few questions I had just been curious about. So he asked, "How did you two end up together?" ”

Feng Tiansong coughed dryly, glanced at Shen Xiaoxi, and then said with a straight face, "Comrade Shen Xiaoxi received an order from his superiors this time to come to Shanghai to investigate a very mysterious matter, and I, entrusted by someone, came to Shanghai to investigate another very confidential private incident, so it was so coincidental that we appeared in Shanghai at the same time, so we just happened to meet together, so ......"

Hearing this, Shen Xiaoxi finally stomped his feet, couldn't help but interrupt Feng Tiansong's words, squinted at him and said, "Are you a man, what age are you talking so roundaboutly!" ”

Speaking of this, Shen Xiaoxi glanced at me and said without any embarrassment, "I like this man, I will chase him from now on, do you have no opinion?" ”

I was dumbfounded when I heard it, firstly, what Shen Xiaoxi said was too direct and too bold. Although the times are different now, there shouldn't be many women who express their desire to pursue the opposite sex so directly, right? The second is...... What can I say about you chasing Feng Tiansong, I am not his father, and Feng Tiansong and I are not engaged in it, Shen Xiaoxi's words really make me feel a little crying and laughing.

However, looking at the expression on Feng Tiansong's face at this moment, it was really wonderful, I never thought that one day Feng Tiansong would be able to make this kind of expression, like being constipated and being stabbed at the same time.

Feng Tiansong muttered, "Can't you be tactful?" They say they like me, but they ......."

Shen Xiaoxi said coldly, "If you don't pretend to be forced, maybe I can like you more." ”

Feng Tiansong and I were speechless at the same time.

After a long time, I think things are starting to get interesting, maybe I didn't know Shen Xiaoxi very well before, but now it seems that this Shen Xiaoxi's character is absolutely straightforward, with a hard wrist, and being liked by this kind of woman, is it happy or unlucky? I think only Feng Tiansong can understand.

At this time, I noticed that the atmosphere on the court had become a little awkward, so I tried to play a round and said, "Did you make an appointment to come together?" ”

(Actually, I later learned that Feng Tiansong and Shen Xiaoxi had already started to get in touch with Shen Xiaoxi after I was plundered to Hong Kong by the Time Association, and they had watched movies, eaten, and swam together during that time.) I think what Shen Xiaoxi likes should be Feng Tiansong's heavy feelings, but does Feng Tiansong have feelings for Shen Xiaoxi? I don't know, but judging from the fact that the two of them came to Shanghai together, Feng Tiansong ...... Shen Xiaoxi I guess there's something good about it. Of course, everything is my own guess. )

So, what did the two of them come to Shanghai for?
