40,000 Years of Cultivation

This is a very strange big city.

Although row upon row of high-rise buildings and brightly lit city skyline are almost the same as Jiangnan City, they are also gusts of wind, showers, lightning and thunder, as if the whole world is swallowed by floods and thunder, but Li Yao still suffers from the hot and humid climate and road. The tropical plants on the edge recognized that it was closer to the south than Jiangnan City. During his coma, they escaped at least nearly a thousand kilometers.

Sure enough, Ms. Gray Mist told Li Yao that this is a provincial capital city in the southern hills area and a transportation hub for the surrounding four or five provinces. It is very convenient to take various means of transportation to all parts of the country and even to go abroad. More importantly, The geological structure in this area is very stable. There has never been a large-scale natural disaster in history. No matter earthquakes, heavy rains, floods, and hail are common, tsunamis and storms are even more invisible.

According to the "Red Pole Star", if the "Earth Will" is willing to pay a great price, theoretically speaking, of course, such a large and extremely stable city can be wiped out, but it is impossible to forcefully create a large city. The natural disasters that occur are "going against the sky", they will consume too much power, and may lead to its failure in the "Great Cosmos War", so they are temporarily safe.

Sure enough, although heavy rains are pouring here, and some low-lying streets have accumulated water, the normal operation mechanism of the city has not been affected, and it has not been completely paralyzed.

The destination of Li Yao and his party was a secret office of the Ark Foundation in the downtown area of ​​the city.

It is said to be a "secret office", but on the surface it has an open cover. It is a high-grade psychological counseling club called "spiritual space."

Ms. Gray Mist told Li Yao that the Apocalypse organization may not know that "Mind Space" is a branch of the Ark Foundation, but the downtown area is their best cover. If the Apocalypse organization attacks here desperately, it will awaken. If both human beings and superpowers are known in the world, it will stimulate the unconscious human society, and "cancer mutations" may occur. This is definitely not what the "will of the earth" wants to see.

What's more, most of the doctors and staff in "Mind Space" are ordinary people who don't know the truth. Similar peripheral institutions are spread all over the world. Even if one place is destroyed, the Fangzhou Foundation is hidden in the deep sea. The main body of it will not have much impact.

"In this ambush, the Apocalypse organization suffered heavy casualties. It is estimated that it will take at least twenty-four hours for the hunters to gather enough manpower to launch a second wave of attacks."

Ms. Gray Mist said to Li Yao, "We are here to rest for a night, waiting for the awakening of the nearby provinces-the prison breakers come to support, and we will leave tomorrow morning, all the way south, across the border, of course, there are also a batch of advanced equipment here. , We can conduct a preliminary test on you."

"How do you test?"

Li Yao suddenly became vigilant.

Although he prefers the Ark Foundation and has a vague familiarity and familiarity with the Red Pole Star, it does not mean that he likes to be "tested" by revealing the secrets of the soul.

"rest assured."

Ms. Gray Mist said, "It won't be too difficult-we have a very special patient here. I hope you can treat him and relieve his troubles, that's it."

"what?"

Li Yao was stunned, "Wait, what do you mean? Isn't it a test? How can it become a treatment? Besides, I am not a psychologist. How can I treat your patients? What is going on?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know, this is an instruction from the Red Pole Star."

Ms. Gray Haze said, "The Red Pole Star said, ‘If you really are you, then you must know how to treat this patient’."

Li Yao became more confused, but no matter how much he asked, Ms. Gray Mist was equally confused.

Everyone entered the building and took the elevator to the "spiritual space" on the 13th floor.

This is not a professional spiritual treatment institution, but is set up for modern people to relieve pressure and vent their negative emotions. It looks like an elegantly decorated abode, on both sides of a promenade filled with pale green light. There are four or five rooms in different styles. At the moment, most of the rooms are empty. Only in the innermost room, there is a middle-aged man squatting in the hall with black eyes, swollen eyes, fidgeting, restlessness and excitement.

If it weren't for the trance and blurry gaze, this middle-aged man could be called dignified, and there is no lack of serious and elegant temperament between his gestures. According to Li Yao's guess, he should be engaged in an education career, and he has done quite a bit. success.

Sure enough, the information that Ms. Huiwu handed him showed that this middle-aged patient named "Zhang Jiashu" was the dean of the city's twelfth middle school. Before serving as the dean, he worked as a class teacher for many years. Be serious and responsible, treat students rigorously but caring about them. Students’ enrollment rate is very high. He has been awarded the title of excellent educator at the municipal level many times. He is a good teacher with good reputation. He is decent, Shen Yi, principled, and very family. Happiness is the envy of colleagues and collars. It stands to reason that there should be no psychological problems.

Of course, there is no reason for mental illness.

"What happened to Teacher Zhang?"

Li Yao took a long look across the door and found that the training director Zhang Jiashu was looking up at the ventilation duct above the "decompression room" with his eyes ticking around. He didn't have the demeanor of a teacher. Instead, he looked like a sneaky guy. Little thief.

This kind of look is very...insignificant temperament, I always feel very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

"Mr. Zhang is awakened, but his awakening is very strange, and it is not the same as the regular awakeners we have found, but it is like being contaminated by some... foreign things, awakening the memory and soul that does not belong to him. "

Ms. Gray Fog handed over a medical record and said, "As you can see, Teacher Zhang was originally a very decent, kind and traditional person. With a happy family and successful career, he can be regarded as a winner in this life. Generally speaking, Such people rarely awaken.

"However, according to Teacher Zhang’s self-report, one day when he was patrolling the classroom, he confiscated a mobile phone of a certain student. At that time, this student was secretly using his mobile phone to read novels in class. Naturally, this kind of thing is never allowed. , I have nothing to say if the phone is confiscated, anyway, it will be returned to the students at the end of the semester.

"It's just that after Teacher Zhang confiscated the student's mobile phone, he glanced awkwardly, and with only one glance, he was attracted by the novel on the mobile phone. In his own words, it was like entering a magic cave. In a week, I read all the novels of millions of words.

"The novel that the student secretly read is naturally not a world-famous novel, but an online novel. Teacher Zhang himself graduated from the Chinese Department and teaches Chinese. He rarely reads these...In his original words,' It's a shoddy, deceitful thing, but this time, somehow, this novel seems to have terrifying magic power, making him sleepless day and night, and even have no intention of handling his job.

"Of course, this alone is not enough to make Teacher Zhang seek help from psychiatrists and psychologists.

"In the few days after reading this online novel, Teacher Zhang developed a small high fever, had a nightmare for two or three days, and then developed a lot of very weird habits."

Li Yao could not help but said, "What habit?"

"Drill down drains and ventilation pipes."

Ms. Gray Fog said, “According to Teacher Zhang’s narrative, after this fever, he seemed to have sleepwalking problems. He often sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night, uncovered the manhole cover in the community, and went into the sewer to run wildly and explore. , As if only in the narrow, dark and dull space, he felt like a fish in water, very comfortable.

"Later, not only at night, even when he was very conscious during the day, he couldn't help but wonder about the ventilation system that passed through each building, thinking about how he could crawl in without knowing it—and, really take actions.

"Ms. Zhang told us that he really got into the ventilation ducts of several buildings, trying to avoid everyone's eyes and ears and invading the most tight spaces. Every time he retired, he would have a cold sweat-in his role as a teacher. If he is caught in the ventilation duct and he can't tell his whole body with his mouth, it is really possible that he will be ruined, but he just can't help the impulse that comes from the depths of his soul."

Li Yao: "Uh..."

"Also, it's temperament."

Ms. Gray Fog continued, "Ms. Zhang was originally very popular among students in the school. Although he had to be a stern post of'Director of Discipline', he still convinced many students with his integrity and elegance. His self-report and our secret investigation found that, indeed, many classmates think that Mr. Zhang has become...insignificant, treacherous, and cunning recently, and will use many despicable and shameless tricks to deal with students, yes The doorways of those'bad students' were so clear that they were even worse than the'bad students', and many students complained incessantly.

"But sometimes, it seems that his brain is not enough, and his IQ suddenly drops, and he blurts out some naive words. He has changed from a dignified high school disciplinary director to a mindless junior high school student."

Li Yao: "Also, is there such a thing?"

"There are also those nightmares. Although the fever has gone away long ago, they still haunt him, making him unable to sleep for days and nights. Often when his eyes are closed, he finds himself in the ventilation duct or sewer. Teacher Zhang I had no choice but to see a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said that he is a middle-aged man. The married life is not harmonious and his desires cannot be vented. Subconsciously, he found sewers and ventilation pipes as substitutes for his wife, you know. of."

Ms. Huiwu said, "Ms. Zhang scoffed at this statement, but the problem did exist, and he had to be treated. After looking around, he found us."

"and many more--"

Li Yao frowned, "Let me ask first, what is the name of the online novel that Teacher Zhang read before he became ill?"

"You should have guessed it."

Ms. Huiwu looked at Li Yao, "It's the real man Wo Niu-"Forty Thousand Years of Comprehension" written by Zhang Daniu."
