Regarding the fact that there are several kinds of moths that can communicate with each other over a long distance, of course I also know that Chen Dao wants to use this to prove that moths are superior to humans, so it’s not difficult for me. I said coldly, "That's just an instinct of insects, and it doesn't prove that insects are advanced creatures." Chen Dao suddenly sighed: "You are very interesting." I am a bit ironic: "No one, when comparing himself with a moth, would think that he is inferior to a moth." Chen Dao showed a mysterious smile: "So, this is the tragedy of human beings. If human beings are willing to admit that they are not as good as moths, that would be great. Do you know that when moths transmit information over long distances, it is up to them to be biological? How wonderful are the microwaves emitted by the body?"

I feel that the topic has become very boring, and I am not interested in continuing, so I said coldly: "I don't know." Chen Dao continued to speak: "I have captured this kind of microwave, but I don't know what its nature is. However, all energy waves emitted by the activities of living organisms are basically the same. Brain activity can also generate the same energy, but do you know what I am thinking now?" He suddenly changed the topic to human brain activity, which made me startled. I was also thinking about this issue. He is an expert in this field, and he may be able to give me some inspiration.

So, my attitude towards him was much better, and I shook my head: "Of course I don't know. Is it possible to know?" Chen Dao's expression became serious: "It's possible, theoretically speaking, possible." I was dissatisfied with his answer: "In theory." Chen Dao immediately said: "Things that can be established in theory can gradually become facts through research!" I squinted at him: "What's your theory?" Chen Dao didn't answer immediately, but after thinking for a while, he said, "The activity of the human brain will produce a kind of information---in fact, the activity of any living thing will produce various information, even when a leaf is stretching, it will also produce a message. There is news."

I raised my eyebrows and didn't refute. Chen Dao added: "Some scientists call this kind of information generated by human brain activity brain waves, which is actually quite incorrect──" I retorted: "Why? The instrument can record various waveforms of bioelectricity generated by brain activity, which is called an electroencephalogram." Chen Dao looked at me with a very disdainful look: "Can you tell what this person is thinking based on the EEG?" I opened my mouth wide, unable to speak.Chen Dao shook his head: "Bioelectricity is one thing, and information that can express thoughts is another. Any information can be displayed as a waveform on a specific instrument, but the information is ever-changing!"

The more he talked, the more specialized he became, and I said, "Let's talk about your theory again." Chen Dao said: "First, it is affirmed that the activities of the human brain have the function of generating information. Then, as long as this information is received and then analyzed and restored, we can know what this information represents." I kind of want to snort and say, it’s too easy, how to receive this kind of information. Chen Dao saw my intention: "Before the invention of the radio, human beings could not imagine that through some devices, the radio waves that come and go without a trace can be captured, restored to sound, and further made possible. It is reduced to form."

He said something that I couldn't refute, so I had no choice but to say: "You mean, if there is a device that can receive information generated by human brain activity and restore it, long-distance thought communication will become possible. ?” Chen Dao put on an air of "children can teach": "This is just a preliminary idea. In fact, the human brain not only has the function of generating information, but also has the function of receiving information." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and Chen Dao continued: "Even some insects have this ability, why don't humans not? I believe that the human brain has this ability, but they don't know how to use it." My voice was a little stagnant Stuttering: "If...the human brain has this function, then...you can know what other people are thinking."

Chen Dao said: "Yes, at that time, human beings communicate with each other without using language. Language will be eliminated, and people can communicate directly in thought." I said "Oh", Chen Dao's theory can indeed be established.Chen Dao suddenly laughed again: "When that day really comes, there will be many people who will no longer be able to survive. Those who can survive will be a different kind of people, completely different from the people living on the earth today." I was a little confused: "Why?" Chen Dao said: "Think about it, at that time there were no lies, no falsehoods, no deceit, no concealment, these are all the survival skills that human beings have used for so many years, once they are gone, how can the original people survive ? A new kind of human must emerge."

When I thought about people's way of life, I also found it ridiculous, but then I sighed: "I'm afraid only a few people have this ability, while the vast majority of people don't." Chen Dao's face changed suddenly, and he turned his head, not looking at me.His reaction was very strange. I didn't know what was going on in his mind, but I just repeated: "Don't you think this situation is terrible?" Chen Dao didn't answer my question, but said, "I heard that you are a very legendary figure?" I shrugged: "It can't be counted originally, but everyone said so, and as time goes by, I dare not belittle myself."

Chen Dao suddenly said to himself: "Impossible, you can't know anything." Before I knew what he meant, he raised his voice: "Anyway, if possible, I really hope you come to my research institute. There are some things there that you will definitely be interested in." Indeed, I was very interested to hear what he said, especially when I was in that psychiatric hospital and heard him mention his research, which had already achieved results.But recently, I really can't go to Vienna, so I said: "It's a pity, I have important things in Japan. Excuse me, what special things do you want to do when you go to Japan?"

I was just asking a question, but Chen Dao's answer surprised me, the world is really too small!He replied: "I went to see a middle school classmate. I heard that he has become a famous Japanese chess player. His name is Saburo Osugi." Saburo Sugi?I'm really stunned?How can there be such a coincidence?I hurriedly said, "Have you made an appointment with him?" Chen Dao said: "No, he is very famous, I have his address." I worded my words very carefully: "This Osugi-san is a nine-dan Go player. I heard that the reason he wins is because he knows what his opponent is thinking."

Chen Dao waved his hand: "What I just said is just a theoretical matter." I stared: "Since you think that the human brain should have the function of directly receiving information, is there any special person with a particularly strong function that can actually do this?" Chen Dao thought for a while: "Maybe someone can, but I haven't found such an example. It would be really interesting if Osugi has this ability. I told him about this theory a few years ago. He is still only a little famous in the chess world, and he once said that if he could know the opponent's mind, he would be able to win every battle." I was secretly surprised: "You tell him how to use this ability?" As soon as the words came out, he couldn't help laughing. Naturally, Chen Dao couldn't tell him anything, because he had only confirmed this point theoretically. Chen Dao smiled along with me, and I tentatively asked, "What do you want me to see in your research institute?" Chen Dao thought for a while before saying, "Look at the ability of creatures to transmit and receive information." For a moment, I didn't understand what he meant by saying this. I guessed it must be very complicated, so I didn't ask any more, but said: "The person you are looking for has caused some trouble." Chen Dao raised his eyebrows: "Lost in the chess game?" I shook my head and briefly told him about Weishan. I didn't know where Weishan was, so I had to say that he was still in the mental hospital.After hearing my narration, Chen Dao showed a very strange expression: "What's going on, so many people are insane." I sighed: "Like your friend who claimed to have discovered a new species of moth, maybe life is too stressful now, which will make people's spirits abnormal." Chen Dao rested his chin, meditating, without making a sound.I didn't have a good impression of him at first, but after talking with him, I think he is a typical and persistent scientist. Chen Dao pondered for a moment: "He is not insane, not a lunatic." I said, "So, you mean, he really found a new species of moth?" Chen Dao said: "For him, yes." I frowned because his words were not easy to understand.Chen Dao made gestures to strengthen the tone of his speech: "I just mentioned information or signals, if his brain receives a message, that message tells him that there is a moth in his hand, he will really See a moth, feel a moth." I said "ah", what Chen Dao said was exactly the same as what Liang Ruoshui and I had imagined, but he said it more specifically. I moved my body: "You made it very clear, but generally speaking, the brain receives signals that should not be received. This is always abnormal." Chen Dao sighed: "Yes, that's why he was regarded as a lunatic." I moved my body closer to him: "A person's brain, after receiving the signal, can make this person regard things that do not exist as real existence?" Chen Dao nodded, and I asked again: "Can you turn what exists into non-existent?" Chen Dao said: "That's the same reason." I said again: "It is also possible to change the white into black, and to treat a person who is sitting still as if he is pushing someone down the stairs?" Chen Dao said: "Of course, the example you gave is very strange. Why did you suddenly think of pushing someone downstairs?" I stayed for a moment, and then said: "This is quite scary. If someone has a power that can force other people's brains to receive the signals from him, wouldn't he be able...to order others to do anything?" Hearing what I said, Chen Dao tilted his head, looked at me with a very strange look, and said, "Is this possible?" Chen Dao said: "No, I just doubt how you can treat this kind of thing that has already happened as something that will happen in the future." I was taken aback: "Things that have already happened? This kind of thing...has already happened?" Chen Dao nodded and said: "Of course, you can understand by looking at the history of human beings. Some people claim that he was ordered by heaven, he is the emperor, and has the right to enslave others, and others accept his signal. He is regarded as the son of heaven." I couldn't help being dumbfounded when I heard him explain it this way. Chen Dao's words are so simple, yet so reasonable. There is no one who is the son of heaven, but as long as this person has a way to output information to other people's brains, saying that he is true, false things will become true. There are too many such things in human history. Goebbels, the propagandist of the German Nazi Party, has long embodied this kind of thing in one sentence: Tell a lie a thousand times and it will become the truth. Constantly export lies and false information to the masses, and the masses will accept them and regard the lies as truth. The signal can make tens of millions of people become crazy, and it can also make tens of millions of people believe that false things are true. This kind of thing has happened countless times in human history, and it will continue to happen! I took a deep breath, mourning the hallucinations that the human brain is so receptive to signals.Chen Dao said slowly: "Of course, those signals are received by people through language and writing. I'm afraid we still have to study the direct signal reception." I asked, "In your opinion, where did your friend get the signal that there was a real moth in front of him?" Chen Dao hesitated for a moment: "I don't know──" He paused, showing a very sad expression, and repeated: "I don't know." From his expression and tone, I saw the sadness of a scientist who has studied for years and still knows very little about the project he is researching. I felt a little sympathetic to him, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. He also accepted my sympathy, and smiled bitterly at me: "Anyway, I hope you come to the institute to have a look." He repeatedly invited me to his research institute, which made me think that there must be some special things or phenomena in his research institute, which can only be understood by going there.I don't know when I can find time to go to his research institute, but I still agreed: "Okay, I will definitely go." Chen Dao took a breath: "One more thing, that Dr. Liang was very stubborn and refused to let the patient out of the hospital──" I said "hmm", remembering the scene where he lost his temper in the mental hospital: "You want me to talk to Dr. Liang?" Chen Dao showed an embarrassed expression.I said: "She is very conscientious and very strong. If you want her to change her mind, it is useless to talk about it through others. You must tell her the real reason, then she will not only agree to your request, but also To help you as much as she can." Chen Dao listened to me quietly.After I finished speaking, he showed a look of sudden realization, stretched out his hand to hit his head, and said, "Really, why didn't I think of it!" Then, he frowned and pondered, obviously thinking: How can he convince Liang Ruoshui. I let him think for a while before saying: "You might as well tell me the reason you thought of, and see if it is useful." Chen Dao thought for a while, and then said: "My reason is very simple. Lao Hong felt that there was a moth in his palm, because his brain received that information. I want to take him back to the research institute and analyze his brain. The various signals received by the Ministry." I was taken aback: "Then you have to... go through an operation?" Chen Dao was startled for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Of course there is no need to cut his brain open, it only needs to be recorded by the instrument." I took a breath: "If you had told Dr. Liang all this earlier, your friend surnamed Hong would have been discharged from the hospital." Chen Dao smiled wryly: "You know, I have been devoting myself to scientific research, and I am not very experienced in dealing with interpersonal relationships." I originally wanted to tell him something about "treating people with sincerity", but then I thought about it, the relationship between people is too complicated, and I can't explain it at all.Perhaps, one day, the communication between people does not have to be through language and writing, but directly through thought, so that there will be sincere interpersonal relationships, no lies, no concealment, no artificiality. In the following time, we chatted about some unimportant things.Chen Dao is very knowledgeable, he even told me that his mother is a famous soprano singer. The more I talked with him, the more speculative we became. When we arrived in Tokyo, I couldn't help telling him: "The Osugi Saburo you are looking for is a very extraordinary person, and you may not find him." Chen Dao looked at me, not knowing what I meant by that.I couldn't tell him the whole story, so I added: "He's been involved in a very mysterious affair, and the papers say he's in a mental institution, but he's not there. Someone's looking for him. In During the incident, someone died mysteriously." Chen Dao's expression was even more perplexed.I also know that when I say this, it will only make him more and more confused. I thought about it for a while, and then said: "You will definitely understand the details at some point──I am also in a state of confusion. Maybe after you see Dr. Liang, ask her, and she will tell you in detail. In short , when you arrive in Japan, as long as you can’t find Osugi, go back and find Dr. Liang.” Although these words also make the listeners full of doubts, at least they can be understood.Chen Dao thought about it, then nodded in agreement. I said again: "After I arrive in Japan, even I don't know what will happen, so I can't be with you. I will keep in touch with you and Dr. Liang." The stewardess came over and asked us to buckle up our seat belts.Chen Dao fastened the belt, looked at me, and suddenly said something critical of me: "You are really a weirdo." I had no choice but to smile wryly, am I a weirdo?There are so many weird things in the world, it's because the things are too weird, not me. I got off the plane with Chen Dao, went through the immigration inspection, and went out of the customs. He disappeared into the crowd. As soon as I got out of the airport, I got into a taxi and told the driver to drive to Tokyo Tower. It is quite far from the airport to Tokyo Tower, and it takes more than an hour to drive.I boiled things down.The only thing that makes me happy is that Bai Su is considered the "murderer" and I have an explanation.Although this kind of explanation cannot be accepted by the world, I can do it, and so can Bai Su, and that's enough. The car stopped in front of the iron tower, I got off in a hurry, passed through several parked tourist buses, even pushed away some tourists rudely, and rushed into the iron tower. There were a lot of people queuing up in front of the elevator, so I went straight up the stairs to the floor that Bai Su mentioned in the message, and took a few deep breaths. On that floor, there were quite a few stalls selling souvenirs, and I saw that one of the stalls was presided over by a girl with a flat face. I walked over to her and asked, "Miss Miko?" The girl looked at me, but she hadn't answered yet. Behind her, there was a middle-aged Japanese woman who was bending over to sort out the sundries, but suddenly straightened up. Although she was carrying me behind her back, just by her actions, I already recognized her as Bai Su! It wasn't until this time that the girl with the oblate face said, "Yes, sir, what's the matter?" I couldn't help laughing "hehe": "Miss Mizi, it's none of your business." At this time, Bai Su also turned around. I really couldn't help but admire her. She had dyed white hair and exquisite make-up. She looked like an ordinary middle-aged Japanese woman.Such an image, walking on the road, will never be paid special attention to.Not only did she make up exquisitely, but she also had a full demeanor, but when she turned around and looked at me, no matter how exquisitely she made up, she couldn't hide the extreme joy she felt when she saw me. Mizi looked at me, then looked at Bai Su, with a surprised expression, Bai Su whispered something in her ear, Mizi nodded, Bai Su had come out from behind the stall, and came to my side .After we parted that night, we didn't see each other until now, and during the time we were apart, so many unbelievable things happened, I really don't know how many things I have to say to her. So, as soon as she came to me, I reached out and shook her hand.But Bai Su immediately retracted his hands and said: "Follow me, keep your distance." I looked around, no one paid attention to us, I said: "You are so well dressed, who can recognize you." Bai Su glared at me: "But you are a target." I smiled wryly, knowing that Bai Su's words were reasonable, but there was one sentence that I had to tell her immediately, and I looked away: "As for the three witnesses who witnessed your murder, I already know why they want to kill you." Put it this way." A sentence that is so important to me, Bai Su seemed to have no interest at all, just walked forward, I hurriedly followed her, and at the same time remembered her words: "Keep a distance." For a quick-tempered person like me, the next half hour was really sad. I followed Bai Su, squeezed into the car of the underground railway, got out of the car with her, and walked out of the crowded subway. After walking for about ten minutes, I came to a rather secluded street and followed her Go upstairs and enter a living unit.I took her hand, Bai Su sighed: "You are finally here." I felt aggrieved and shouted: "This is not the first time I have come here. Last time I wanted to kidnap the director of the mental hospital and rescue you." Bai Su lightly leaned against me: "This is Miko's residence, she is Tokizao Yoshiko's best friend." I put my arms around her, and couldn't wait to express what I thought, Liang Ruoshui's and my opinions, and Chen Dao's theory, all in one breath.I spoke very hastily and messily. I believe that no one in the world can understand my narrative except Bai Su. Bai Su listened attentively. Halfway through my speech, she gently pushed me to sit down. She sat opposite me, and I still held her hand tightly.This encounter, the reunion after the catastrophe, made me very nervous. When my words came to an end, Bai Su said: "Yes, it's the same as my idea, but your statement is more specific." I hurriedly said, "I have never believed the nonsense of those three witnesses." Bai Su pondered: "Those three witnesses are not lying, I believe they really saw me pushing people down the stairs." I understood Bai Su's meaning, but I still couldn't help asking: "At that time you were—" Bai Su shook his head slowly, showing a very sad expression: "At that time I was just sitting, not moving at all, Zhang Qiang suddenly jumped up, rushed to the window, smashed the glass, jumped down, waited for me When I came back to my senses and found hotel personnel in the room, I didn't know what happened, but I knew that under the circumstances, I'd better leave immediately." I took a breath and asked a crucial question: "What caused Zhang Qiang to have the accident?" Bai Su didn't answer right away, she just frowned and thought, after two or three minutes, Bai Su said: "That night, Zhang Qiang came to see me, and you were not interested in him at all──" I feel bad: "Yeah, that's my fault, otherwise he probably wouldn't—" Bai Su shook his head and said, "No, I believe the result is the same." I smiled wryly: "I already know most of your journey in Japan. I also know why Zhang Qiang came to you. I didn't know the gesture you made to me in the car until I met Shi Zaozhi." clear." Bai Su glared: "If I knew you were so stupid, I would stop the car and tell you." I argued, "How can I blame me for being stupid? Even if you tell me that a person can't see himself in the mirror, it's not easy for me to understand." Bai Su didn't continue, just said: "As soon as we arrived, we went to Shizao's house, thinking that Fangzi was there. But Fangzi went to see her brother, so we sneaked into his room, found the stack of photos, It was a completely blank photo. At that time, we were really puzzled. Shizao told Zhang Qiang in detail about his entry into Osugi’s residence, so how could the most important photo be blank?” Bai Su narrated what happened at that time, and I listened nervously. In Shi Zaozhi's small room, Zhang Qiang said loudly, "It's not this stack, we'll look for it later." Bai Su opened the folded paper that was put together with the photos: "Look, this is written by Fangzi: My brother said that these photos are very important, but even the negatives were brought back, and the processing shop said it was absolutely impossible to get them." Wrong, the photo is just blank. Sigh, my brother is in a trance, has he lost his memory?" Bai Su said: "This is the photo Shi Zao said, don't look for it anymore." Zhang Qiang was extremely frustrated: "No wonder Mr. Wei wouldn't even listen to me. I actually believed what a lunatic said. It's really terrible." Bai Su and Zhang Qiang had different thoughts: "Mr. Zhang, did you believe a lunatic for no reason?" Zhang Qiang smiled wryly: "Of course it's not for no reason, but...but look at these photos, what a room full of precision instruments, what these instruments allow Osugi to know other people's thoughts, it's all nonsense." Bai Su said in a deep voice: "When Shi Zuo couldn't see himself in the mirror, it means that some existing things disappeared in his eyes. Conversely, things that don't exist may also appear in his eyes." (Bai Su immediately thought of this possibility, her thinking is much sharper and quicker than mine.) Zhang Qiang was still angrily: "So what? There are actually no instruments in Oshan's room." Bai Su said: "Yes, but doesn't this prove that there is a power that can make others have illusions?" Zhang Qiang took a breath, and his tone became much calmer: "Under the current situation, I am a doctor. From the standpoint of a doctor, I only admit that it is a disease of the patient, not some external force. Impact." Bai Su said: "Maybe, but no matter what, I have to go to Weishan's residence to take a look." Bai Su and Zhang Qiang left Shizao's residence, they decided to go back to the hotel first, because Bai Su thought she left very suddenly, and she knew I was careless, maybe I forgot to turn on the telephone recorder (as expected), So she wants to contact me. They entered the hotel lobby at around 1:00 a.m. The hotel staff's statement to the police was: "The two of them entered the hotel lobby, and the lady seemed to have remembered something important, turned around and walked out in a hurry." "The man looked very excited, and he went upstairs alone." The next statement about Bai Su was: "It was not until around 6:43 in the morning that I saw her enter the hotel again. He was holding a square cardboard box in his hand." What did Bai Su think of to leave in a hurry?What did she do during the time she was away—from one o'clock in the morning to six forty in the morning? On the way back to the hotel, Bai Su and Zhang Qiang exchanged a lot of opinions. Zhang Qiang insisted on going to Wei Shan's residence with Bai Su, and Bai Su did not object.When the taxi was approaching the hotel, Bai Su suddenly remembered that Saburo Osugi was in the mental hospital. If a person has the power to read other people's thoughts, how can this person be mentally ill?This is a very suspicious point, but judging from the fact that he actually wanted to strangle Shi Zhiren to death, he really looks like a lunatic. Bai Su raised some doubts. Zhang Qiang immediately said: "It is very difficult for a person to pretend to be sick. For example, acute enteritis cannot be faked, because physical symptoms cannot be faked, but psychological symptoms and behavioral symptoms are very easy to fake, so pretend It is easy to realize that you are a mentally ill patient, but it is difficult to discover the truth even if you examine it carefully." Bai Su raised his eyebrows: "If Wei Sugi pretends to be a lunatic, what good will it do him?" Zhang Qiang snorted: "Maybe it's easier to cover up the truth." By this time, the car had already arrived at the entrance of the hotel, and as she got out of the car, Bai Su had already thought of what she was going to do, and she said to Zhang Qiang: "In this way, it is just a cover-up for Weishan to enter the mental hospital. The residence is very dangerous." Zhang Qiang was stunned, he understood Bai Su's meaning: "If it's dangerous, wouldn't it be better for two people to go?" Bai Su smiled and said: "You don't have experience in this kind of action, but I have to take care of you. In this way, you──" As they spoke, they had already entered the lobby.At one o'clock in the morning, the hotel lobby was very quiet. When the staff on duty saw someone walking in, they would naturally focus on the person coming.Therefore, Bai Su lowered her voice and spoke very quickly, she said: "You don't have to go, you go and call Mr. Wei and ask him to come immediately, I will go to Weishan's residence to take a look." Zhang Qiang has always had confidence in me, and when he heard that Bai Su wanted him to call me, he was very excited. So Bai Su turned around and walked out of the hotel, while Zhang Qiang went upstairs alone.That's what the hotel staff on duty at night saw, and they told the police truthfully. The strange thing is that Zhang Qiang should have called me as soon as he went upstairs.All Japanese hotel rooms have IDD telephones. That night, I was at home, waiting for Hou Bai Su to contact me, feeling extremely anxious.But I didn't receive any calls. Why didn't Zhang Qiang call me?He forgot? Of course, as soon as he went upstairs and into the room, something unexpected happened that prevented him from calling me.But what was that surprise? Bai Su left the hotel, called a taxi, and got off near the residence of Weishan. When Bai Su saw the traditional Japanese building, she walked around the wall first.The night is very deep, the surroundings are extremely quiet, looking into the wall, it is dark!There was no light at all. Bai Su climbed over the wall easily, and there was obviously no one in the whole house. She first walked into a living room, and then, according to Shi Zao's narration, came to the secret door of the so-called secret room. Originally, seeing that the stack of photos was blank, Bai Su thought that there was no secret room in Osugi's residence, and everything was just what Shizao thought he had. Therefore, when she saw that there really was a secret door, and the secret door was pushed open, she was very surprised: Shi Zaozhi was not all hallucinations, at least so far, everything is real. Anyone in such a situation must think so.Bai Su is a little different, she also thought at the same time: Is it possible that she, like Shi Zao, has entered into an illusory realm, treating non-existent things as a kind of existence? But even though she thought of this, she couldn't tell whether the secret door really existed, because she had indeed pushed the secret door open, and she saw that there was a secret room inside the secret door.It was pitch black, and there was no way to know what was in the secret room.Bai Su didn't go in first, but leaned sideways against the door, and then, she used a small flashlight to shine a light inside. Looking into the secret room with the light from the small flashlight, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment. The secret room is bigger than what Shi Zao described, of course it should be bigger, because Shi Zao said that the walls of the secret room are full of various instruments──He even remembered the appearance of this instrument, and asked others what it was── ─But at this time Bai Su could see clearly that the secret room was empty and there was nothing. Bai Su walked in, it was indeed a secret room, with a special smell that had been sealed for a long time, and there was nothing there.It is conceivable that if someone takes a photo against the wall in such a secret room, the photo will of course be blank after being developed. Bai Su stayed in this empty secret room for about half an hour, carefully checking the floor and wall to see if there were any other hidden doors. It turned out to be nothing at all, it was just an empty back room.Bai Su discovered that this secret room has excellent sound insulation equipment, the walls are covered with quite thick soft plastic sound insulation panels with holes in the middle, and even the floor is no exception. Bai Su stood in the middle of the secret room, she was thinking: If a person is locked in such a secret room with perfect sound insulation equipment, he must be able to hear his own heartbeat clearly. Bai Su's idea at the time was: Wei Sugi is a chess player, he needs to meditate in silence.Well, although the Chamber of Secrets seems strange, it can also be explained. Bai Su was about to turn around and walk out of the secret room when she suddenly heard footsteps. She was sure it was the footsteps of two people. Bai Su can even further confirm that those two people are not Japanese. Japanese people are used to taking off their shoes outside the door, and the sound of footsteps is clearly the sound of wearing shoes on the floor. Bai Su was stunned for ten seconds, which can explain how shocked she was by the sudden sound of footsteps.When she regained her composure, the footsteps were much closer.It seems that two people are heading towards the secret room.Bai Su flashed to the door of the secret room, and had already thought of three ways to deal with it.At this moment, she completely calmed down.The footsteps were getting closer and closer, until they were only three or four feet away from her. Bai Su heard a person talking: "Look, I told you a long time ago that he won't be in a mental hospital." The other person's voice was relatively low, but at this moment he raised his voice and said, "Osugi, what the hell are you doing?" Bai Su held his breath and didn't make a sound.The English of those two people has a strong continental European accent.The two people who came were Osugi's friends and Europeans, Bai Su could only know these two things. While talking, the two men continued to move forward, and they had already reached the door of the secret room. Because it was too dark, Bai Su couldn't see the appearance of the two of them clearly at all, but could only see two extremely blurred figures, it seemed that they were both quite tall. This kind of "seeing" is actually more appropriate to say "feeling" that two people have come to him. Those two people obviously also felt that someone was approaching, one asked: "Osugi, is that you?" Under such circumstances, Bai Su couldn't keep silent anymore, she lowered her throat and gave a vague answer.The man hummed: "You are getting more and more mysterious, this is what you want, and we brought it." When the man said that, Bai Su felt that the man put something on the ground.Another person said: "Osugi, you keep asking for this kind of information, what's the use of it?" Bai Su lowered his throat again, and responded vaguely, and the two of them made a dissatisfied voice together, and said one by one: "I hope you will still fulfill your promise quickly like the last few times." Bai Su thought quickly in his mind: what kind of materials did these two Europeans send to Wei Shan, and Wei Shan also agreed to exchange such materials under what conditions. As for what Osugi wanted this material for, even the two people who sent it didn't know. 白素缓缓吸了一口气,学足了日本人讲英语的那种腔调:“当然,你们放心好了。” 那两个人停了一下,在感觉上,他们像是已经转过了身去,向外走去,他们的脚步声,在渐渐远去。 她按亮了小电筒,看到一个纸袋,放在地上。拾了起来,袋中好像放着一盒盒式录音带。 白素先把纸袋收好,也来不及打开来看里面究竟是甚么,就忙跟了出去。 她来到大堂中,看到那两个人,正从花园中走向门口,花园的门半开着。 白素不禁苦笑了一下,她没有想到门根本没锁着,而她刚才是跳墙进来的。 一等那两个人出了花园,白素立时飞快地奔到门口,看到那两人在门口站着。 这时候,白素可以看清楚那两个人的相貌,两上人都约莫三十上下年纪,是普通的欧洲人。 他们站在门口,看样子是在等计程车,可是等了一会,并没有车子经过。他们低声商议了几句,就向外走了开去,白素跟在两人的后面。 街道上十分寂静,偶然有计程车经过,全是载着搭客的,白素已经有了对付这两个人的办法,她加快了脚步,在那两个人的身边经过,装出看起来像是喝醉了酒。那两个人以后的一切行动,全都在白素的意料之中,一个先用蹩脚的日语,向白素打了一个招呼,在凌晨时分,他用的是“日安”。 白素的身子歪了一歪,那两人忙来不及地来扶白素,一个道:“你说英语吗?要不要帮助?” 两个人抢着来扶白素,倒令白素省了一番手脚,在不到五秒钟的时间内,白素已经把两只皮夹,取在手中,同时把两个人推开,仍然脚步踉跄地向前走,那两个人一面叫着,一面追了过来。 不过,他们大失所望,因为一转过了街角,就找不到白素。自然,当他们发觉自己的皮夹不见了时的狼狈相,白素也看不到。 白素转到了离尾杉住所附近的一个街角,到了街灯下,打开那两个人的皮包来,找出了两个人的身分证明文件,那两个人从奥地利来,他们的身分是:安普蛾类研究所的研究员。 一听得白素说到这里,那两个人的身分,是维也纳安普蛾类研究所的研究员,我整个人直跳了起来,发出了一下怪叫声。 白素扬了扬眉:“很奇怪,也很凑巧,是不是?” 我呆了片刻,重新又坐了下来,瞪着白素:“我真佩服你,刚我向你提到过陈岛,也提及他是安普蛾类研究所的主持人,你竟然一点也没有讶异的神情,也不打断我的话,告诉我你曾遇到过两个研究所的人。” 白素笑了一下:“我有过讶异的神情,不过你没有注意,我当然不会打断你的话,你的叙述,已经够凌乱了,我如果一打断,一插言,就算你再说得下去,我也无法听得明白。” 我给白素说得啼笑皆非。白素道:“这个甚么蛾类研究所的名字,我从来也没曾听说过,我猜想那一定是他们作掩饰用的,一直到我听你提到了陈岛,才知道他们真是研究蛾类的生物学家。” 我忍不住问:“他们给尾杉的是甚么资料?” 我在问了一下之后,摇着头:“尾杉是一个棋手,和蛾类研究所的人,会发生甚么关系。” 白素道:“当然可能有,那个研究所的主持人陈岛,不是专程到日本看尾杉吗?” 我搔着头:“我相信他们纯粹是私人友谊的关系。” 白素对我的话,没有表示意见,只是道:“我检查了那两个人皮夹中所有的东西──”
