Mystery Hunter

This summer has been spent in great hustle and bustle, and autumn has come, bringing with it the gradually yellowing leaves and the endless sadness of the poets about autumn.

Living to Shao Lao's age, he is basically not angry anymore. In the past sixty years, he has become accustomed to darkness and humanity. From ancient times to the present, human beings have never changed. It is true that there are saints who are as good as Buddhas, and there are bad people who are extremely sinful. But the more people Shao saw were ordinary people who were neither good nor bad, neither good nor evil.

He has been determined to be a police officer who maintains justice since he was a child, but as the years go by, Mr. Shao does not understand more and more what justice is and whether there is real justice in this world.

He was sitting on the rattan chair by the window, the steam was steaming from the tea jar in his hand, he looked out the window, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, there were busy pedestrians, and the sun shone wantonly in the house , warm and bright.

Shao is not the only one who also feels the sun. In a dark house in a certain city, an old man who is described as withered is lying on a wooden bed. The dim sunlight shot in through the gaps in the curtains and hit the head of the bed, forming a long, narrow beam of light.

The old man stretched out his hand, and the chapped and shrunken arms were covered with purple blood vessels. He stretched out his hand to the small sunny place, as if to hold the phantom light in his hand.

With a creak, the wooden door was opened, and a young man walked in from the door.

This young man ~ about twenty years old, wearing black clothes, he walked into this dark environment and seemed to be one with the environment. He closed the door and suddenly knelt down beside the old man's bed. The old man's face full of age spots showed no expression at all. He turned his head to look at the young man with difficulty, but he couldn't see the young man's face clearly.

The young man suddenly wept in the dark.

"Why are you crying?" The old man's voice was hoarse, but not slow.

"You're going to die," said the young man.

The old man gave a "um" and touched the young man's face with his hand.

He opened his mouth and said, "People are always going to die. I am over eighty years old, and God has been very kind to me. Besides, the meaning of life is not its length, but its quality. My best twenty All my years, from thirty to fifty years old, I was locked up in a mental hospital. It was the most relaxing, fulfilling, and least free day for me. Until, your father rescued me."

Mentioning his father, the young man was a little excited. He wiped his tears and said, "What kind of person is my father?"

The old man withdrew his hand. He lay on the bed, staring blankly at the gleam of light. He thought of the young man's father, but that was already twenty-five years ago.

"Strictly speaking, your father is my apprentice, and how I taught him to hypnotize is the same as how I taught you to hypnotize before. Your father and I, we have the same mind, we have the same goal. As I told you, what are we going to do!"

The old man exhaled a turbid breath and continued: "Sixty-five million years ago, a meteorite destroyed reptiles, and then mammals evolved rapidly. Fifty million years ago, primates were differentiated. Until three thousand years ago Ten thousand years ago, there were animals like ancient apes. Ten million years ago, there was Australopithecus, which is also the ancestor of our human beings.”

"Until three million years ago, we used simple tools. Two million years ago, we learned to make fire. Half a million years ago, Homo sapiens went to the world. Ten thousand years ago, human beings developed a matriarchal society. Five thousand years ago, mankind had art, civilization, tribe, and country."

"The time of human evolution is shortening, from 10 million years, to millions of years, to hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, thousands of years. When do you think the next evolution of human beings will be?" The old man asked suddenly.

"Now?" The young man was a little shocked.

The old man nodded, suddenly a little excited: "Yes, it is now. The sixth evolution of human beings will be in the near future. But do you know how human beings evolve?"

The young man shook his head.

"Death and pain!" The old man roared, but his voice was still low. He struggled to sit up, but to no avail, instead he coughed violently.

The young man hurried to follow his breath, and the old man slowly calmed down.

"Every evolution of human beings is accompanied by a lot of death and suffering. Those mammals that escaped meteorites survived with difficulty, so they evolved. Due to the emergence of grasslands and the reduction of rainforests, those suffering from the trees came up. The apes that came to the ground survived. During the Ice Age, Homo sapiens who abandoned their homes and started migrating around the world survived.”

"Every war is accompanied by the invention of a lot of technology, and every time a family is destroyed, is accompanied by a lot of artistic prosperity. Why does the prosperity of science and art always appear in times of war and suffering? Why do a large number of artists and scientists Most have mental illness and mental illness."

The old man slammed the bed board with his hands: "Because pain is the essence of human evolution. But with the progress of human beings, whether it is an earthquake or a tsunami, it is not enough to destroy human beings. How the next human evolution will evolve is bound to be it's here…"

Saying that, the old man pointed his finger at his brain: "The next evolution must be the evolution of the human brain. Your father and I are destined to not see, and you are destined to not see the evolution of human beings. But what we do It's planting a seed to leave our voices behind for those who have the power to evolve humanity."

"Humans are originally animals, and any human being with benevolence, righteousness and morality will inevitably be a victim of evolution at the moment of human evolution."

Having said this, the old man calmed down again: "Exactly, count the age, the person who forced your father to die is now sixty years old? I have seen him when he was young, and he is smarter than your father. He stopped us, he indirectly killed your father."

"It's just that he doesn't understand what we want to do. One or two murders is not our goal at all. If we want to evolve human beings, we must sacrifice most of the people. The remaining people are the new and new human beings. "I'm going to die soon, and he's been chasing me all my life, forcing a break in my research and leaving me hidden in the dark for the rest of my life."

The old man's tone gradually turned cold: "Without him, my research would have advanced at least fifty years from now. Without your father's organization as a source of funding and without your father's help, I am a tens-year-old old man. , I don't have the ability to toss anymore~"

"He killed your father, he forced me to stop research, he chased me all his life, but he wanted to have a family in his old age? This is obviously impossible. From the moment he saw my black card, He should have understood that from that moment on, I was coming back for revenge."

"Have you figured out those people under him?" the old man asked.

The young man nodded and said softly: "I understand. Criminal policeman Wang Chao has a wife and children. Armed policeman Yuan Jun, unmarried, his parents are in his hometown. Law ~ doctor Xu Yiman, his mother died a few years ago, and his father is abroad. The hacker is closed, and I can't find any information about him online, but in my observation, he has a very serious social phobia."

"The most mysterious and unpredictable person is a man under his command named Jiang He. He has no relatives, no friends. Apart from himself, there may be no one who can threaten him."

"Interesting." The old man laughed suddenly: "Threatening other people's family members has always been a method I don't like to use. Such methods are really too low-level. As a criminal consultant, all we have to do is to go Guide those who have resentment in their hearts and who want to sin."

"Do you know why before this, I always asked you to find those former victims to commit crimes?" The old man suddenly asked playfully.

The young man shook his head.

"Because people have habit of thinking, I let you go~ In the cases that I operate, those victims are often bad people in the moral sense. Those murderers often kill for revenge, or have no choice but to kill. Those who were killed , also have reasons for them to be killed. So this time, when they see the black card, they will think the same. So, wait and see them suffer."

"Those policemen must think that I, as a crime consultant, tend to choose clients. They think that I pretend to be a waiter of justice. In fact, it's all bullshit. Crime is crime, killing is killing, which one is not for themselves Humans are such selfish animals, but the world is secretive and boring."

"Is it arranged?" The old man felt that the previous topic was boring.

"It's arranged, he just got out of prison." The young man replied.

"That's good." The old man took a long breath and said lightly: "Since you are ready, let's start acting. Wu, don't be sad for me, death is not the end of a person. Your father is my apprentice. , you too, but your father was my apprentice 30 years ago, and I have grown a lot in the past 30 years, so you should be stronger than your father."

"Death is not the end, as long as you can continue our wishes. After thousands of years, when human beings evolve, they will know that this head is caused by us."

The old man took the young man's hand: "You have to understand that most people don't understand what we do. There is no good or evil in the world, and the law of society is the law of the weak. The fundamental reason why a criminal is a criminal is because he is caught. If he wasn't caught, then he wasn't a criminal."

"And from now on, the title of criminal counselor will be worn on your head." The old man let go of the young man's hand and closed his eyes: "The foundation of hypnosis is psychology, and you will face that in the future. People are also proficient in psychology. I have taught you everything I should teach, and finally I will teach you a trick - never play cards according to common sense, no one will know what you are thinking, not even yourself. , it is impossible for others to know.”

The young man stood up and walked towards the door.

"Don't come back and don't contact me again, the game is on."

With a click, the door closed.

The sun had set, and the narrow line of sunlight was drowned in the endless darkness.
