Let me first talk about the nonsense story that Jin Dafu told. When Jin Dafu came, he was courteous and respectful.Although the words he used were a bit strange and not very pleasant to the ears, since his attitude was so good, he would not be offensive-this is one reason why I was able to listen to his nonsense stories. Mind you, I just thought his story was nonsensical, not that it was bad, which is another reason why I listened to his story. Jin Dafu is very smart. After a few words of greeting with me, he knew that if he didn't get straight to the point, I would probably issue an order to evict the guest within three minutes. He also knew that if what he said, it would not be immediately If it appeals to me, the result is the same.

So, after swallowing a big mouthful of spirits, he said as soon as he opened his mouth: "I know that there is an alien base in Central America." My disgust at the time was because I rolled my eyes, and I didn't even bother to ask the word "really". It should be noted that the reason why I have such an attitude is not that I think there will be no bases of aliens on the earth. I believe that there are very likely bases of aliens on the earth, and there may be more than one.There are many purposes for aliens to establish bases on the earth, and some of them may not be understood by the people on earth.

However, I don't believe Jin Dafu's words. Jin Dafu is just a nouveau riche. Maybe he has extraordinary business skills, but how did he discover the alien base in Central America? Jin Dafu saw my indifference, and waved his hand vigorously: "The source of my wealth comes from that alien base! I have been there, I have been in, Mr. Wei, really!" I gestured him to continue. Jin Dafu's expression became hesitant, and he said in a low voice, "Can I start from the beginning?" I nodded: "Yes, but please make a long story short." Jin Dafu nodded repeatedly: "I am a sailor. Many years ago, in order to get rid of an environment without freedom, I jumped off the ship in British Honduras during a voyage to Central America."

I understand the meaning of "jumping ship", which is a very tragic behavior: in order to improve the environment, the crew members who live in bad conditions, after arriving in another country, go ashore without legal entry permits and become black market residents of this place.What the result will be, the road ahead is boundless and unpredictable at that time, it is a kind of gamble on one's own destiny. I added: "Please don't talk about your struggle history, just talk about that alien base!" Jin Dafu seemed to be in a difficult situation, but he still tried his best to simplify things: "For many years, I did everything, just fooling around, and later, I became an assistant for a local wizard."

I couldn't help cursing inwardly: What a mess, what? What a mess, how could a wizard's assistant (what kind of job is that?) be connected to an alien base? Jin Dafu hurriedly explained: "The sorcerer's sorcery is actually very simple. Maybe he is not a sorcerer at all. His sorcery is actually hypnotism. When I was a sailor, I studied hypnosis because of boredom. That’s why he became his assistant.” When I heard this, I behaved quite politely and yawned.Jin Dafu begged me not to urge him: "The local natives don't know what hypnotism is, and some of the scenes shown by hypnotism are indeed very magical, so we got along well. One day, for a native People hypnotized me, and what the native said changed my life!"

Most likely, Jin Dafu felt that what he said was enough to attract people, so he deliberately stopped when he was talking, and took a sip of wine in his spare time. It made me so angry and funny that I wouldn't have listened if he hadn't started mentioning the alien base and saying he'd been there.So, at this time, I reminded him quite politely: "Please speak quickly!" Jin Dafu didn't take a sip of the wine, and I urged him to continue. Although my tone was definitely within the polite range, he still coughed violently after taking a sip of strong wine. He didn't dare to wait until the coughing stopped completely, so he continued: "This native is a porter. He is often hired to pick up goods to various places where no one visits. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience. After being hypnotized, he said Had a very astonishing experience, he said, where-"

The conversation between me and Jin Dafu took place in my study. There is a rather large globe in the study. When Jin Dafu said this, he came to the globe, turned it around, and pointed to a place: "It seems that according to the Analyzing his words, here is where he has amazing adventures.” I sighed: "Mr. Jin, please pay attention, I only listen to your narration, not your recitation, the porter's experience──" Jin Dafu immediately picked it up: "It has a lot to do with my personal experience. He was the first to discover the base of the aliens. I arrived at that place according to his narration..."

Jin Dafu hesitated a little when he said "I just got there", I didn't pay attention at the time, and I didn't know what kind of cunning he was playing until he finished speaking. I didn't say anything, just looked at the globe, and the place Jin Dafu was pointing at was the junction of British Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico, where there was the most peculiar national border in the world—a straight-line national border. That place, until now, is either a mountainous area or a jungle, and it naturally belongs to an undeveloped area. Jin Dafu continued: "The porter once lost his way in this area, wandered around for seven or eight days, and got him into a strange and inexplicable place."

I heard a flaw: "Even if a native porter breaks into a strange place, he will never be able to imagine this place as an alien base!" Jin Dafu said: "Yes, he doesn't know, he only knows that the place is so strange, and I also went there later—" I interrupted him: "In terms of your imagination and knowledge, it doesn't seem to be Reminiscent of an alien base!" Jin Dafu was a little annoyed at being robbed repeatedly by me. He raised his voice: "When I was in the rivers and lakes, I loved reading. I read all kinds of books, including the few stories you described in the early days."

This guy is also amazing, and I can't get angry if I put the stories I described in the early days into the scope of "miscellaneous books". I had no choice but to ask coldly: "What does that place look like? The interior of a huge spaceship, just like the 'Mr. Mirren's spaceship' I described?" "Mr. Mirren's Spaceship" is one of the early stories that I described as "miscellaneous". It has a very sad story. Mrs. Mirren, who has blond hair and is extremely beautiful, has left a deep impression on me. I believe that Jin Dafu had read this story, so he brought it up.

Jin Dafu tilted his head and thought for a while before denying: "It's completely different. The place is huge, unbelievably big. It's a huge space. Wherever the line of sight is, there are completely square grids. And each grid Among them, there are many small grids, which can barely be described, like tens of thousands of honeycombs densely arranged together, the place is extremely quiet, and in many small grids, there are flashes of light from time to time." He stopped here, looked at me, and waited for my reaction. I don't know if it's his bad description or my imagination is not rich enough. I closed my eyes and thought about it for a while, but it was hard to imagine what that place looked like! Jin Dafu smiled wryly: "Indeed, if you don't experience it personally, it's very hard to imagine what it's like. As long as you are in it, you can know that it is definitely not a building on the earth. There will be no such buildings on the earth... buildings. So I imagined it was an alien base!" Jin Dafu's narrative is very attractive, but of course it didn't keep me engrossed.I was not very enthusiastic: "You went to find that place after listening to the porter's description?" Jin Dafu hesitated for a while: "The porter mentioned that he had had such an adventure under hypnosis. His description of the place was very simple. He didn't mention any small squares at all, just a sentence from him. , attracted me and made me think of that place." I made a gesture and asked him to continue. Jin Dafu took another sip of wine, obviously what the porter said shocked him very much, now that he thinks back, he still needs the comfort of alcohol.He drank too much alcohol, and it was a strong wine that was not mellow, and he coughed a few more times: "The porter said that he was at that place, watching TV all the time - finally he had a chance to get in touch with TV, so he He described what happened to him as watching TV. In that year, the year he was hypnotized, something happened that everyone in the world knew happened, and the porter actually told the story after he was hypnotized. " When Jin Dafu said this, he paused and waited for my reaction again.I sighed: "Please speak clearly and don't use too many unknowns." Jin Dafu said: "Okay, since I'm Chinese, I naturally pay attention to this incident, so I know that this incident happened, the porter has no way of knowing, but he actually said it. What's even more strange is that when he was there When I saw this 'show' on the local 'TV', it didn't even happen!" I couldn't help sitting up straight, because Jin Dafu's narration was very interesting. What kind of situation is this? It is very possible that the location is really the base of aliens. There are many small squares, maybe many TV screens. If you open one grid, you can see the past and future on the screen through operation. , the aliens are in this base, studying all the behaviors of the earthlings. Jin Dafu saw that I was very interested and very happy. I asked, "What did the porter see on TV?" Jin Dafu sighed: "The thing is very strange. After the porter accepted the hypnosis, he couldn't speak the language he heard at all, which he didn't understand at all. This is really not an inconceivable function of the human brain. !" I shouted: "What happened?" Jin Dafu was taken aback by my call, took a sip of wine hastily, and showed an aggrieved expression: "The porter subconsciously remembered that sentence, and said it in a hypnotic state, because it is a kind of Dialect, I didn't understand it very well at the time, and after I repeatedly questioned the appearance of the person who said it, I was sure what it was saying." He still didn't tell the matter straight away, I stopped shouting at him, but just looked at him coldly, making him feel embarrassed. Sure enough, this was effective, he immediately said: "The porter saw the situation on the battlefield. There is a stone bridge, not very big. There are Westerners and Easterners on both sides of the battle. The weapons used are very powerful. He sees There are many more Westerners than Easterners, and the Easterners are desperately resisting, but they are obviously at a disadvantage, falling one by one amidst the sound of gunfire." I frown, things are weird, Easterners and Westerners are at war, it has happened many times in history, World War II, Japanese and Allied forces have fought all over Asia. When did the war that the porter saw happened?Since guns are used, it is naturally not an ancient thing. I asked this question, and Jin Dafu blinked his eyes cunningly: "The porter is very ignorant. It is not easy to tell whether the Easterners and the Westerners are at war. In the situation of raging wars, it is impossible to distinguish clearly." Black and white, it's not easy either!" This is true. Naturally, one should not be too strict with ignorant native porters. Jin Dafu said again: "Finally, the porter saw a young Eastern military officer who was quite brave. He didn't know what to do, he wanted to rush forward. Go, but was shot, several soldiers rushed forward, fighting with gunfire, and pulled him under the stone bridge, all the soldiers who pulled him were yelling—" I couldn't help being a little nervous: "The porter recorded the cry he heard in his subconscious mind, and then called it out under hypnosis!" Jin Dafu nodded and said: "Yes, I understood what he said immediately. Those people are all shouting: You can't die! You can't die!" I sneered: "Who can't die when fighting on the battlefield, ah, I understand, that young officer must have a very important special status, so when his colleagues see him being shot, they will naturally act like this." shout!" At that moment, Jin Dafu showed great admiration for me, and couldn't help saying: "You really live up to your reputation, Mr. Wei!" There was also a sudden movement in my heart, and I made a gesture, asking him not to speak for a while, so as not to interrupt my train of thought, and then, I was confident that I had grasped the ins and outs of the matter. I asked again: "You mean, when the porter said it, it happened, and when he saw it on TV, it didn't happen at all. " Jin Dafu nodded: "I'm sure, the difference is at least half a year!" I took a deep breath, and there is actually a place in the world with a "television" that can preview what will happen half a year later, so it is naturally more appropriate to call this place an "alien base".Thinking about it this way, I looked at Jin Dafu a little differently and poured him a large glass of wine. Jin Dafu naturally felt that his treatment was changing, so he looked excited: "Next, the battle scene is gone, and I saw a large room. There are many oriental people in the room, most of them are sitting, a few people are standing, a tall man with a very passionate expression is talking, everyone's eyes are focused on this man, this man has Very authoritative face and eyes──” When Jin Dafu mentioned this, I suddenly picked it up: "This man's hair is relatively high on both sides, and on his chin—" What I said next was all the characteristics of this person. Jin Dafu jumped up when he heard it, pointed at me, looked like he saw a ghost, and said repeatedly: "You, you, you... have seen it before. The TV?" I shook my head, and couldn't help but be proud of my rich association ability and strong reasoning ability: "I deduced it based on your description. Well, this matter is indeed a big event, and after it happened, it has passed. It took a long time for the world to know about it, and a native porter far away in British Honduras really has no reason to know about it!" Jin Dafu's facial features, because of the over-surprise, give people the feeling that they are moving together.After a long time, he repeated again: "Your real name is well-deserved, and you know what the porter heard?" I nodded with a relaxed expression at first, and then suddenly thought of something that shocked me—the tall man mentioned retribution, and he said this: "The one who caused the crime has no descendants ? One of my sons went crazy, and the other was killed on the battlefield, retribution?" And in the past few days, our conversations with Chen Lixue also imagined such a thing as retribution. Is it purely a coincidence, or is Jin Dafu's experience in Central America that year related to what is happening now?All of a sudden, my thoughts were so chaotic that I couldn't sort out a clue. You know, at that time, Jin Dafu and Chen Lixue hadn't met face to face, and Chen Lixue hadn't expressed her strong opinions on the matter of retribution, so I couldn't figure it out.This is also the reason why I was so excited when Chen Lixue talked about retribution later on. Naturally, it was because of Jin Dafu's narration first. At that time, Jin Dafu and I looked at each other for a while, and I said: "There is no doubt that the 'television' where it is shown is not a 'tv series', and it does have an extremely accurate predictive effect." Jin Dafu nodded vigorously: "That's what attracted me, so I decided that I must go to that place. When I get there, I may predict many major events that will definitely happen!" I closed my eyes for a while, and the "prediction ability" has always been a dream of human beings. "If you know what happens in three days, you will be rich and rich." I already knew that Jin Dafu had really been there later, and he suddenly became an explosive A household, just because he saw a major economic event that was going to happen on "TV"! I nodded: "With such a temptation, of course it will make you look for that place. You finally went?" For such an ordinary question as mine, the shrewd and capable Jin Dafu hesitated for a while before saying, "Yes, I have finally arrived at that place!" From his demeanor, one can tell at a glance that there are still some things happening before he arrives at "that place", and most of them have hidden things, so he hesitates. I didn't pay attention at the time, because I just wanted to know what happened to him after he got to "that place", and I wasn't interested in how he got there. But I also dislike his attitude of concealing the facts from me, so I laughed "hehe" twice, reminding him that it is best to tell the truth in his future narration. Jin Dafu looked slightly embarrassed: "I... finally arrived at that place, only then did I realize that the porter's ability to describe is very poor. Indeed, it is huge. There are many squares arranged in a space. I soon discovered that every A square has a 'TV' to watch, and there is a group of buttons that can control the movement of the square. The square seems to be endless, and it can be stopped at any time during the movement. The situation...is like...just picture……" He couldn't find an appropriate adjective for a while, so I imagined one for him: "Like a database that can be rotated?" Jin Dafu hesitated for a moment: "It can be said like this, but that place... is really too big. Alas, the storage method of that kind of data is actually very backward. The way people on earth use computers to store data is much more advanced now." I closed my eyes and imagined the situation in "that place". Indeed, that kind of data storage method cannot be regarded as an advanced method. If it is really an "alien base", then this kind of alien may have a very weird personality . Jin Dafu took another sip of wine: "I stayed there for a long time, constantly watching 'TV', at the beginning, everything I saw, although inexplicable, gradually, I found some tricks, I found all The information is stored by year, and when I saw a person...a German commit suicide with a gun in the cellar, I can be sure that the year was 1945 A.D.!" I found out "ah" and said: "You should also see many Japanese being sent to the gallows!" In 1945, the Second World War ended, the German dictator Hitler committed suicide, and a large number of Japanese war criminals were sent to the gallows - what Jin Dafu saw was naturally these facts! When Jin Dafu saw these things, although these things had already happened, what I suddenly thought was, if someone had been there a hundred years ago, would they have seen the same things?If it is possible, the people who see it will naturally not understand what it is, just like when Jin Dafu just arrived there, he saw many incomprehensible scenes!In Jin Dafu's voice, there was excitement at that time: "As soon as I discovered this, the excitement in my heart was really indescribable. I could actually see what happened and what will happen in the future here. I immediately thought that if I If I can know the future, then I am a person with the ability to predict!" When he said this, he fixed his eyes on me, and I also looked at him: "What's the surprise, you obviously haven't become a person with the ability to predict!" Jin Dafu frowned, with a puzzled expression on his face: "I don't understand either. Taking 1945 as the starting point, I read it year by year, and what I saw were all inexplicable things, many of which were disasters, all kinds of things. Seeing all kinds of deaths makes people feel chills all over their bodies, until I saw that two men were imprisoned, I was stunned." I made a gesture: "Please explain this process in detail. What you have seen is all very unfortunate things?" Jin Dafu patted himself on the head vigorously, and took another sip of wine. Obviously, the scene he saw at that time was an extremely unpleasant memory until now. He nodded: "Yes, it's all some people... Some inexplicable people have a very tragic end." I asked again: "What do you mean by an inexplicable person?" Jin Dafu said: "It means I don't know who they are until those two men in prison appear." I snorted: "What's so special about these two men?" Jin Dafu blinked quickly for a moment: "I recognize them, they are all-powerful tycoons in the financial world, they manipulate the trading of several precious metals, and can control their prices all over the world. How can they be imprisoned? If they are imprisoned, it will inevitably happen in the future, so does it mean that at a certain point, their careers will fail and they will be defeated?" When Jin Dafu said this, I applauded vigorously a few times to express my appreciation for him.In that kind of dreamlike situation, he can still keep his mind clear and make a rational analysis of the vision he saw, which is naturally extremely rare and worthy of appreciation. Jin Dafu took a breath: "I remembered the year of that year, it was two years later." Impatient, I quickly asked: "The result is──" Jin Dafu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "That year, the price of a precious metal was raised to an unreasonably high price, and everyone knew that it was these two rich men who were manipulating it. I predicted that these two people would inevitably end badly, so in In the precious metal market, I poured everything I had and sold a lot of shorts, and the result was naturally a huge profit beyond imagination!" I gestured him to stop talking for a while, because my thoughts were a little messed up and needed to be sorted out. As I expected, Jin Dafu got rich by seeing something that was going to happen in that place, but the situation was a bit tortuous. He didn't directly see the price of that precious metal plummeting that year, but saw When it came to the two rich men who had an influence on the precious metal market, they were imprisoned in that year, and then they speculated about what would happen. Naturally, with such a "hint", it is not difficult for him to make a correct judgment. Judging from the situation he described, everything that can be seen on the "TV" in that place is a person, not a thing, and it is the end of people. As for why these people have such an end, it has not been revealed. I have an idea about it, but I can't explain exactly how it is. Jin Dafu waited for a while, until I made another gesture to him, and then he continued: "That time, I was there, and I remembered three things, the first one was that the two rich men were in prison, The second case is that the emperor of a famous oriental country died in a foreign country—this made me think that this country will undergo great changes. Judging by the situation in the surrounding area, it is easy to draw the conclusion that a certain commodity will rise—" I raised my voice. "Oil is oil, some kind of commodity!" Jin Dafu said: "Yes, during the process of rising oil prices, I expanded my assets twenty-fold." Jin Dafu’s experience can really be said to be miraculous—at this time, I still couldn’t guess why he came to see me and told me these things. I knew he must be asking for something from me, but I didn’t know what he was asking for. Jin Dafu's expression was quite impressive: "The third case, what I saw was a war full of corpses. In the next few years, there will be continuous wars. I know that it is a long-term war. On the screen, I think Out of the two warring parties, one of them happened to be acquainted in the oil business, so... I thought that the most needed supplies in the war are..." When he said this, his expression was a little awkward, he smiled embarrassedly, and didn't say any more. I darkened my face, and snorted: It is predicted that there will be a long-term war, and Jin Dafu is of course engaged in arms trading.Arms trade and drug trade are two of the most profitable industries in the world, and Jin Dafu naturally expanded his assets by several times! We remained silent for a moment before Jin Dafu said: "I have thought about that place many times, and the conclusion is that the 'TV' that can be seen there shows the fate of many people, and all of them are very unfortunate and miserable The end, the time, may be thousands of years up and down, or it may be longer, I stayed there for about three days-because the environment is too fantastic, I can't remember the correct time at all!" I myself have had such fantastic experiences many times. In that situation, it is indeed not easy to remember the exact time.I nodded my head in understanding.Jin Dafu said: "I really don't want to leave, but...but...suddenly I'm in a picture...a picture..." Since he began to narrate, he has been talking eloquently, but when he said this, his tongue suddenly seemed to be tied, his face was pale, his expression was panicked, and he hesitated to speak. In this situation, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, and I blurted out: "What did you see in a picture? Did you see yourself? Like everyone in the picture, there is no good end?" As soon as my words came out of my mouth, Jin Dafu suddenly shook, half of the glass of wine in his hand shook out because of this, and it all spilled on him.He took out his handkerchief—the handkerchief was embroidered with glittering gold, but instead of wiping the wine on his body, he wiped the sweat on his forehead! From this point of view, what I said casually turned out to be true! I didn't say anything else, just stared at him, he wiped and wiped on his forehead, and drank the half glass of wine in one gulp, and then he spoke.Under such circumstances, ordinary people must just talk about what happened, but he still didn't forget to compliment me: "Mr. Wei, you are amazing! I knew it a long time ago, and I can only tell you what happened to me!" I snorted: "You see what will happen to you? It's impossible for everyone in the world to end up in that place, right? It should be...at least the important ones, um, yes, now you are no longer The wizard's assistant, but a very important person!" Jin Dafu sighed: "Mr. Wei, stop teasing me, I... really saw myself... in a room with nothing, wearing white clothes, and on the door of that room, there is a small The window, the little window with iron bars—" I didn't wait for him to finish, so I interrupted him: "The description is too detailed. To put it simply, or face up to the reality, you are in a ward of a mental hospital where lunatics are confined! Usually, only Extremely mentally ill patients will have such a separate room!" Naturally, my words were extremely straightforward, Jin Dafu trembled, and looked at me absent-mindedly. I knew that the scene he saw there must be more shocking than this time, so I asked him again: "What did you see yourself doing?" Jin Dafu's voice trembled: "I... At that time, my expression was in extreme pain, and my facial features were distorted. I have never seen myself like this before. It doesn't make sense that it is me, but I knew it was me just by looking at it... ...I was in extreme pain, and I was banging my head against the wall with great force, making a terrible noise." I can't help but feel a chill. It's really shocking for a person to see such crazy behavior and know that it must be inexplicably painful at that time. While Jin Dafu was gasping for breath, I added: "Generally speaking, severe mental patients have a tendency to self-harm, so the walls and floor in that room must be all soft rubber?" Jin Dafu almost burst into tears: "You...how do you know everything, that...speaking directly, it's too cruel!" I sneered a few times, I have never had a good impression of Jin Dafu, this is the reason why I was merciless when talking to him, I urged him: "Just bumping heads?" Jin Dafu sighed: "I bumped my head first, but then I found it was useless to hit the wall or the ground, so I jumped up desperately, trying to hit the ceiling, but of course I couldn't hit it. I saw myself jumping exhausted and paralyzed on the floor. On the ground, I couldn't stop panting, and suddenly, my expression became more painful, and my movements became crazier!" I shook my head: "In a room like this, you can't think of any tricks to hurt yourself!" Jin Dafu's voice was like a live frog stuck in his throat, so while he was talking, there was a weird "clack" sound: "I thought about it, I... suddenly grabbed my frog with both hands. The corner of my mouth, I tore it out forcefully, and blood soon gushed out from the corner of my mouth!" When Jin Dafu said these few words, his voice was hoarse and terribly shrill, and the scene he said was indeed shocking. I also felt very uncomfortable when I heard it. After taking two steps, he pointed at him: "A lunatic like you should be monitored 24 hours a day, and you won't be allowed to go crazy!" When Jin Dafu was pointed at by me, he jumped up and screamed, "I'm not crazy, I'm not!" I also felt that it was a bit too much for me to say that, so I immediately retracted my hand: "I'm sorry!" Jin Dafu took a deep breath, and after a long time, he said: "At this moment, two people opened the door and came in—probably as you said, someone was watching 24 hours a day. The people who rushed in arrested me ...I struggled desperately, they pulled my arms back, the white clothes with tough straps on the sleeves, and when they tied my arms behind my back, all I could do was howl and jump on my feet , can’t do anything. The howling sound I made at that time...was really terrifying.” I spread my hands: "If you have the opportunity to visit the lunatic asylum, almost half of the lunatics keep making such howls, which is caused by the malfunction of the brain function of the lunatics, and they have returned to their original human nature. Only sex will keep howling!" Jin Dafu's smile was extremely bitter, he paused for half a minute, and then said again: "Mr. Wei, I wrote down the year of that picture, it's next year!" Why did he come to me, and I also know that I really can't help him. In the silence, Jin Dafu suddenly called out again, his voice was even more shrill, and he leaned over to me: "Wesley, do you know? Next year, I will become a hopelessly lunatic!" I calmed him and said: "If the other three foreseen scenes turn out to be true, then I think it will be true!" At that moment, Jin Dafu's whole body deflated like a deflated balloon: "I don't want to be a lunatic! I don't want to be a lunatic that I... have seen so much fear before!" While he was shouting like this, the corners of his mouth were foaming, which made me even more repulsive when I thought of his own bloody mouth after he had gone crazy. (It is very strange that after listening to Jin Dafu's narration, I have no sympathy for him seeing such a terrible scene, and I am almost sure that he will become a madman by then!) I turned my head and heard Jin Dafu breathing heavily. He was trying to calm down his voice: "Mr. Wei, only you can help me!" I said indifferently: "I don't see how I have the power to help you!" Since I didn't look at him, he came to me, clasped his hands together, looked anxious, and looked like he wanted to kneel down, but he was a little afraid that I would be angry. He begged: "You have great powers, you can definitely help me Me, you can find out what kind of alien base that is, you have dealt with aliens more than once, you—" Next, Jin Dafu's words were probably incoherent because he was too anxious , can be said to be the most incomprehensible words I have ever heard.He said: "You know a lot of aliens, there are red ones and blue ones. Aliens are always aliens. There are people in the court who are easy to talk to. If you have your own people there, you can talk up and down. It's better to talk a lot. Please go Say something nice and change that 'TV' and don't make me crazy, I can't thank you enough!" After he said that, he was very emotional, and even really wanted to kneel down, and it seemed that he might kowtow to me. He fell two steps and sat down on a sofa. He was on the sofa, gasping for breath like a fish out of water. I was angry and funny, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? When have I seen blue aliens come?" Jin Dafu moaned out three words: "Blue-blooded man!" I snorted: "The blood of blue-blooded people is blue, and the color of their skin is very normal! Don't come up with random ideas, how do you know that the pictures you see on 'TV' can be changed?" Jin Dafu hoarsely called out: "King Yama's life and death book can be changed, why can't the records in that place be changed?" 金大富这样叫嚷,当然是无理取闹到了极点,若不是他真的发急,以他的聪明才智,怎会这样胡言乱语? 然而,我想到,如果他的精神状态,一直如此紧张恐惧,那么,久而久之,受不了那么重的压力,当真可能变成疯子! 其次,他忽然提到了“阎罗王的生死簿”,乍一听,只觉得滑稽,可是仔细一想,却又著实令人吃惊。 传说中,阎罗王的手中有一本“生死簿”,里面记载著所有人的寿命,何年何月何日生,何年何月何日死,所谓“阎王注定三更死,谁能留人到五更”,一般人的死亡日期,全是簿中注定的。 然而,也可以改,例如孝子,到了阎王殿上接受最后审判时,阎王一看,就可以随意宣旨“增添阳寿二十载”,于是,死了的人再活过来,在二十年之内,怎么都不会死,因为延寿二十载是掌握生死的阎王御批的。 这种传说,尤其是中国人,自幼深入心中,人人皆知,所以乍一听,会有滑稽的感觉。可是,想深一层,那个地方可以通过“电视画面”看到的许多记录,不也和生死薄差不多? 记录中记的全是祸事,全是许多人的坏下场,那么,是不是可以观看“祸福簿”,或者“祸事簿”呢? 如果说,掌握“生死簿”的是阎王,那么掌握这“祸事簿”的又是什么力量,能够正确无误地在一定的时间把祸事降临在该受祸事的人身上? 霎时之间,我思绪十分紊乱,金大富以为我肯答应,又连声道:“只要你肯试一试,一定会成功的!” 我叹了一声:“这种无头无脑的事,我实在帮不了忙!” 我虽然没有直说出来,可是我的神情已经明显地摆出发了我根本不愿意帮忙的样子。 金大富失神之至,连声道:“那我怎么办?那我怎么办?我怎么办啊?” 他虽然叫得声嘶力竭,痛苦彷徨无比,可是我一点也看不出我有帮他解决困难的必要,所以我半转个身去,明放著请他“贵客自理”。 金大富又叫了我一声,我不耐烦:“你看的情景,未必一定会变成事实,你好端端的,怎么会发疯?倒是你一直担心那会变成事实,反倒十分危险,单是精神忧郁就可以令人发疯,我劝你别钻牛角尖了!” 金大富听了,半晌不语,端起酒杯来,咕嘟咕嘟,喝下了大半杯酒,当他用手帕抹了口角的酒时,神情虽然十分失望、沮丧,但已经十分镇定:“卫先生,你甚至对那地方没有兴趣?不想到那里去看一看?” 我回答得十分理智:“类似的地方,我到过许多次了,据我所知,三千年有一个埃及人,就曾得到过外星人的帮助!” 金大富听得瞪大了眼,显然他对这种事,闻所未闻。我继续道:“这个埃及古人在北非造了一个倒金字塔,深入地底,算准了三千年之后的一场风暴,会使金字塔显露,在那座倒金字塔之中,藏有用古埃及文字写下的人类过去未来的一切资料。” 金大富苦笑:“我也知道,你和一个苏联海军少将,在黑海海底发现过外星人留下的庞大基地,可是,另一个新的……基地,你一点兴趣都没有?这并非和你以前到过的那些相同。” 我欠了欠身子,本来,金大富所说的,对我应该有相当的吸引力,我会十分渴望到那个地方,会千方百计地想去看一看。 可是,这时我却全然提不起劲来,或许是由于我对金大富实在没有好感的缘故,所以我还是拒绝:“对不起,我不想去了解那个地方,谢谢你告诉了我这样的一个遭遇,我真的不能帮你什么。” 金大富还在尽最后努力,他用的是激将法:“要到达那个地方,有一个相当艰难的历程,你怕涉险?” 我哈哈大笑:“对,你说得对,既然那么艰难,我更加不去了。” 金大富无计可施,接受失败,长叹一声,失望而去,我送他出去,他还十分有礼地倒退著,叫我留步。 而一出了大门,他转身,我看到了陈丽雪。 金大富看到了陈丽雪之后的情形,在前面已经交代过了。
