Chapter 292 Research
Chapter 292 Research

"There are ghosts in Guishou Mountain. I am absolutely sure of this. I can see shadowy figures in the woods between the mountains, hear some strange and inexplicable calls, and even feel their dense gazes. I am very scared..."

"But what I'm afraid of is not the ghosts, but the fact that there are ghosts in this world will be exposed."

"Both the world and the entire human society are built on a material foundation. If the bizarre and inexplicable existence of 'ghosts' were exposed to the public, I can hardly imagine what would happen. Perhaps the collapse of basic science, or the collapse of the overall order of human society? I dare not think about it... and I don't want to think about it."

Seeing this, Gu Pingsheng couldn't help but say: "Mr. Li is an excellent person."

"Yeah." Feng Xiuxue responded softly.

Li Mu's writing is not very organized, but this kind of text that vents emotions makes it easier to see the author's thoughts.

He is genuinely worried about the world.

Feng Xiuxue didn't know what she was thinking about, and her eyes flickered.

She had a premonition that Li Mu's notes would be very useful, but did she really have to share such a useful thing with Gu Pingsheng?

She is not a great person, nor is she kind. After escaping death with great difficulty, she would choose to enter such a space again, obviously with other purposes.

Feng Xiuxue's vision is not as broad as Li Mu's. Everything she does is just for herself.

Just like Bai Yanliang before.

She can resort to deception, seduction, concealment and other means to get his key, or she can immediately cut off ties with him after Bai Yanliang loses the key.

Even though she had nothing to do with him.

So at this moment, do I really need to share Li Mu’s notes with Gu Pingsheng, this “worthless” person?
Although Gu Pingsheng also showed his cool head, as a winner from another space, Feng Xiuxue always understood one thing.

A smart person does not mean a valuable person.

It is not necessarily the one who can survive to the end.

Some people can see through the strange abilities of evil spirits at a glance, but cannot see through the calculations of their companions.

Ultimately, IQ and wisdom are two completely different things.

Feng Xiuxue knew very well that Bai Yanliang was very smart, but she also dared to guarantee that Bai Yanliang would definitely not be the one who survived to the end.

Because she could easily see that he had contact with too few people. He could infer the internal logic of a thing, but he didn't quite understand the fickleness of human hearts.

Bai Yanliang will definitely fall into a big trap because of someone he knows, and this trap may very well cost him his life.

In order to avoid being implicated by him, Feng Xiuxue wisely chose to stay away.

Similarly, Gu Pingsheng is calm, low-key, and smart. He is like another older Bai Yanliang.

But he is cleaner than Bai Yanliang, and he is far less mysterious than Bai Yanliang.

Feng Xiuxue saw through him at a glance. A man with no secrets naturally had no value.

There were a thousand thoughts in my mind, but in reality only a few breaths had passed.

Feng Xiuxue turned her head solemnly and looked out the door intently. Gu Pingsheng looked at her with a little confusion: "Ms. Feng, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Xiuxue whispered, "There are footsteps outside the house...didn't you hear them?"

Gu Pingsheng's face was solemn. He tiptoed out of Li Mu's bedroom, went to the living room, and listened carefully.

Seeing him leave, Feng Xiuxue quickly cut off the next page of the notebook with a utility knife and put it in her bag.

After a while, Gu Pingsheng came in and said, "It must be an illusion. There is no unusual movement around."

Feng Xiuxue apologized, "I'm sorry, maybe... what happened in the elevator just now made me too nervous."

Gu Pingsheng smiled and said, "It's okay, just keep watching. Mr. Du is still waiting for our news."

"Yeah." Feng Xiuxue smiled sweetly and turned to the next page.

Gu Pingsheng looked at it carefully, but the content on this page surprised him a little.

"Dr. Zhou is crazy."

"Everyone agrees. If he hadn't said that to me just now, I would have thought so too... But now, I think he just has a different worldview from us. There's only a fine line between genius and madness. He was universally recognized as one of the most talented young scientists in the past decade. Why didn't anyone think about it carefully? What caused such a genius to change his temperament so drastically? His weird madness, his hysteria, until finally... he became a serial killer."

"I can't tell whether what Dr. Zhou told me is true or false, right or wrong. I only know that even if there is a great reason, we cannot kill people by lynching. No one's life is more noble than another's. At least in this regard, Dr. Zhou is wrong. But... I won't tell others everything he told me. He said that there was a mysterious organization that had been inviting him to join, but he refused. Because he could see that those people just wanted his research results. In the final analysis, they were all for their own selfish desires, but he was different. He was doing it for all mankind."

"Dr. Zhou was very serious when he said this. If there hadn't been the hellish scene he created on the ground, this statement would have been more convincing. 'Officer Li, you are a man with a conscience.' He pressed his hand stained with the victim's blood on my shoulder and spoke with a solemn expression as if he was passing on civilization."

"Conscience? I was overwhelmed by his praise. Maybe he just sensed my 'uniqueness', just like when I first saw him, I sensed the mist-gathering aura on him. To be precise, it wasn't the mist-gathering aura, but the weird aura. The aura of being haunted by 'weirdness'."

"He asked me to go into the cave alone, meet him alone, and listen to everything he said alone. Then he committed suicide with a frown on his face and a lot on his mind."

"He died easily. Didn't he know what the consequences would be if his research was confirmed? The future of the entire human race...maybe it would go in a different direction."

"It's raining hard... I'm not a really smart person, and I don't know what to do, but... I will remember my promise to him and not tell anyone what he said to me, even though his words seem to be no different from those of a madman to ordinary people. I don't want to think about the shocking speculations contained in those words. I'm just a criminal policeman, I'm just an ordinary person... I don't know which will come first, death or tomorrow."

There is no further note.

After that, Li Mu never wrote any more words in this notebook.

It was as if he was deliberately avoiding thinking about it.

Gu Pingsheng's eyes were calm. He could certainly see that there was a page missing in the middle of the notebook.

The missing page is the conversation between Dr. Zhou and Li Mu.

Maybe that's what he demanded, no longer fighting back.

However, although one page is missing, we can still learn from this last page that Dr. Zhou had been invited to join a certain organization during his lifetime. Although it was recorded lightly that he refused, it can be imagined that the process of refusal was not so easy.

As the last person Dr. Zhou met before his death, there is a high probability that Li Mu will become their target.

Their purpose is also very clear, the research results of Dr. Zhou.
