The night before the promotion

Chapter 78 Bullshit
From the very beginning, Zhou Si's suspicion fell on Chen Wen Ge. Apart from him, Zhou Si couldn't think of anyone else who could do this. But at the same time, Chen Wen Ge's death made everything even more confusing.

"Yes, Chen Wen Ge, the great genius."

Shan Jun laughed grimly, "Since the day the Paradise of Bliss was born, I have been curious about the identity of the Immortal, but it is just curiosity. He is my boss, and as long as he pays me, I will be loyal to him."

Zhou Si murmured, "But... Chen Wen Ge is dead."

"Yes," Shan Jun confirmed, "so our connection with the Immortal was also cut off a month ago."

Zhou Si looked at the mountain king deeply, and his words undoubtedly once again reinforced the fact that Chen Wen Ge was the immortal.

"This has happened before, but I've never been out of touch for so long. It's been so long that I'm starting to get anxious."

The tiger suddenly approached Zhou Si, grabbed the blanket draped over Zhou Si, and tried to lift him up.

Zhou Si's face was reflected in his turbid eyes full of desire, and Shan Jun asked in a low voice.

"Doctor Zhou, I know you are involved in the relevant investigation. Tell me, is Chen Wen Ge really dead?"

Zhou Si's expression turned livid, but in the next second, like melting ice, it suddenly collapsed, revealing a defiant smile.

"Chen Wen Ge is dead."

Zhou Si nodded solemnly to the tiger, constantly affirming, "Yes, he is indeed dead."

Shanjun was a little surprised at Zhou Si's cooperation. He thought it would take some effort to pry Zhou Si's mouth open.

"So he became an immortal?"

Shan Jun asked nervously, whether Chen Wen Ge exists or not will affect his next series of major decisions.

"No, he failed to become an immortal," Zhou Si continued, "There was no data written into the double chair system, and the real cause of Chen Wen Ge's death was mechanical damage to his neck... Someone forcibly broke his neck."

Zhou Si pretended to be slow to react and asked in confusion, "I thought you killed Chen Wen Ge."

“In the story I imagined, Chen Wen Ge lost his power after the Immortal Falls accident, but in order to continue researching the metamorphosis technology, he may have reached a cooperation with someone and secretly cultivated your force - the Paradise of Bliss.

Afterwards… maybe because of a conflict of interest or a conflict of ideas, you killed Chen Wen Ge.”

Zhou Si tried to clear his thoughts, but his mind was in a mess, getting more and more confused, until he couldn't help but curse.

"What the hell is going on?"

Facing Zhou Si's questioning gaze, Shan Jun explained, "Although we are assassins, we also respect the code of conduct. We would never do something like killing our boss."

"Since it wasn't you who did it, then who killed Chen Wen Ge?"

Zhou Si thought that he could get an answer from Shan Jun, but the truth was shrouded in a deeper cloud, with thick fog and no one could see clearly.

"I don't know and I don't care."

Shan Jun sneered, the breath of desire erupting from every pore of his body, "All I know is that our boss is gone, and I need to find a new way out for us."

Zhou Si looked at the tiger and asked, "A new way out?"

"Yes, a new way out. Look at everything here, Doctor Zhou. Whether it's our existence or the feathering technology and paradise system we have mastered, they are all priceless treasures."

Shanjun took a few steps back and leaned against the edge of his desk. "Instead of wasting them on those inexplicable ideals, it is better to exchange them for tangible wealth, which is visible and tangible."

"But everything you have comes from Chen Wen Ge and Shenwei Technology."

Zhou Si threatened, "Shenwei Technology will not let you go easily."

"It doesn't matter. As long as General Lin passes through, we will immediately leave the port and return to the ocean. In addition to Shenwei Technology, we have also chosen a suitable client for ourselves to ensure that our own interests are not frustrated."

The tiger slowly looked at the humanoid avatars on one side, and then asked the cold body in the middle, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

The humanoid avatar began to move, and as it moved forward, the metal cover on its back opened, and then an emerald green cloak fell down, covering most of its body.

Zhou Si was in a trance for a moment, and said with clenched teeth, "Madam Cui..."

"I'm glad you're alive, Dr. Zhou."

Madam Cui glanced at Zhou Si, and then focused all her attention on Shan Jun. "Your promise is beautiful, but the client behind me still has some doubts about you."

The tiger made a "please" gesture.

"Although the Elysium is a group of incarnated killers, your way of controlling people's hearts is not just simple interests, but these strange beliefs?"

Mrs. Cui is like a professional asset appraiser, judging the risks for the customers behind it. "The customer wants to know, are you sure you have absolute control?"

"Is it just this suspicion?"

The tiger laughed out loud, as if Madam Cui had asked a stupid question.

"All religious beliefs promise their followers what they will get after death. Christianity says that if you believe in Jesus, you can go to heaven, while Islam says that if you believe in Allah, there will be 72 virgins waiting for you."

Shan Jun lit a cigarette and said contemptuously, "That's nice to say, but there's a problem. All these rewards are achieved after the death of the human individual, and what happens after death cannot be falsified."

"Things that cannot be falsified always make people uneasy. I think even the most devout believers have had such doubts in their hearts."

The tiger's voice suddenly rose. "But the Paradise of Bliss is different. I will let them see the real paradise while they are still alive."

Madam Cui asked, "The so-called Paradise System?"

"Yes, this is also a miracle brought by the immortal. It is said that it can alleviate the disease of separation from consciousness, making the patient indulge in the dream created by himself, and can also conduct more experimental measurements in the virtual electrical signals to serve the technology of metamorphosis.

But I think it has greater commercial prospects than academic research.”

The tiger suddenly asked, "Have you heard of this Aesop's fable? 'The Man Who Never Laughed'."

Without waiting for Madam Cui to answer, Shanjun began to tell the story by himself. His face was hidden in the rising smoke and his voice seemed to come from a very far away place.

"A young man saw a group of old men with sad faces all day long, and he was curious about why they were like that. The old men pointed the young man to a door. After walking through the door, the young man came to a kingdom. The beautiful queen and her maids served him and treated him as a god on earth. They could satisfy all the young man's desires, but the only requirement was that the young man was not allowed to push open the door deep in the palace.

Many years have passed, and the young man's threshold of pleasure has reached its limit. There are few things that can make his heart beat, so he remembered the door and pushed it open..."

Shan Jun finished smoking the cigarette and pressed the butt on Zhou Si's shoulder. The burning pain came, but Zhou Si endured the pain and did not make any sound that could make him laugh. "After the gate was opened, the young man returned to the original place, with those sad old people. He wanted to go back to that kingdom like crazy, but no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer reach it.

The young man suddenly understood why the old people were so miserable. They all opened the door, and he became a person who never laughed, just like those old people.

Shan Jun imagined the cruel yet beautiful possibility, "The Paradise System is that door. I can bring unimaginable excitement to these people and satisfy all their inner desires, no matter how dirty they are.

Similarly, in order to return to this paradise again, to complete the consciousness upgrade, and to solve the cognitive dissociation that constantly torments them, these people will be used by me like fanatics. "

Shan Jun asked, "Does this answer satisfy you?"

Madam Cui was silent for a moment, as if she was communicating with a client hidden in the shadows. After a long time, her response sounded.

"The client has one last question."

"please say."

"Are you sure that Chen Wen Ge is the immortal?"

Madam Cui grasped the crux of the matter and delivered a scathing attack, "Perhaps the Immortal was more than one person from the very beginning."

The tiger said nothing, and looked in an unclear direction. At this moment, Zhou Si reminded him at the right time.

"Although we have different positions, I still want to mention that according to the investigation team's inference, we all agree that there is a big shot inside Shenwei Technology who is assisting Chen Wen Ge. Since Chen Wen Ge's death has nothing to do with your Paradise, perhaps he had a conflict with that big shot, which led to his death."

Zhou Si is not only disrupting the tiger's transactions, but also trying to reveal appropriate information to verify these unsolved mysteries from the mouths of the tiger and Madam Cui.

Shan Jun immediately counterattacked, "Doctor Zhou, do you think I'm a child? Haven't I thought of such an obvious possibility?"

Madam Cui also reacted at this time and whispered, "Yes, since there is more than one immortal, Chen Wen Ge, then after Chen Wen Ge died, why didn't the other big shot contact the Paradise of Bliss?"

It surveyed the luxurious office, while Humoresque played on a loop, making the ears tiresome.

"Whether it's the Feathering Technology or the Paradise System, the Paradise is a very valuable asset that no one will give up easily."

Zhou Si didn't know how to respond for a moment, just like that day when he and Li Weiyu and others were brainstorming in the car. He proposed a possibility that was very close to the truth, but it was immediately overturned.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Si silently clenched his fists. He seemed to be asking questions to the tiger and Madam Cui, or perhaps he was questioning himself.

"So... who killed Chen Wen Ge?"

The room was silent for a while, and Shan Jun said nonchalantly, "Does it matter to us why he died?"

Is Chen Wen Ge’s death important?

Maybe... it doesn't matter. In this noisy and fast-paced era, Chen Wen Ge's death is just a piece of news, a topic that makes people party and have fun, and another fire built high in the online world.

When it burns out and turns into cool ashes, people will leave and rush towards the next burning fire, just like a group of moths, just flapping at the flames. As for why the flames burn, does anyone really think about this?

Madam Cui seemed to have completely ignored the previous discussion. She said, "The client is very satisfied with your answer, but before formally cooperating, the client hopes to test your capabilities."

Shanjun asked curiously, "What do you need us to do?"

Mrs. Cui spoke shocking words without any emotion.

"I need you to launch a terrorist attack in the city of Anyan."

The cold voice echoed in the room, causing everyone to lose their focus for a moment.

"This is a big deal," Shanjun laughed hoarsely, "This is not cheap."

Mrs. Cui knew the tiger's greedy nature, so she promised, "Of course, we will not pay less than a penny..."

Huo Daochuan listened to the deal in disbelief. When he realized that Shanjun was actually ready to accept it, he could no longer bear it and interrupted Madam Cui.

"We are not mercenaries!"

The three of them turned their heads to look. If Huo Daochuan hadn't suddenly spoken, they would have almost forgotten that there was such a person in the room.

Huo Daochuan's eyes were red as he stared at Madam Cui angrily. Then he looked at Shanjun, his voice full of confusion.

"Shanjun, why?"

The tiger frowned as if he was stumped by his question, while Zhou Si was stunned for a moment and then burst into a sharp laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhou Si laughed with all his might, his body trembling uncontrollably and he even coughed in pain, but he still smiled stubbornly, tears coming out of the corners of his eyes.

The disturbing laughter lasted for more than a minute before Zhou Si stopped tiredly and looked at Huo Daochuan with a playful expression.

"Oh my God, Huo Daochuan, I thought you were sober, but did you really believe this?"

Zhou Si attacked Huo Daochuan with words in revenge for the torture he had inflicted on him earlier.

"Don't you understand? You naive fool, without the financial sponsor of the immortal, Shanjun needs another financial sponsor!
This bastard never cares about becoming an immortal or getting liberated, he just reads whichever sutra is most useful, and the bullshit justice for patients with dissociative illness is just a business!"

The tiger walked over quickly and punched Zhou Si in the face.

"Shut up!"

The violent impact made Zhou Si’s head dizzy and a taste of rust appeared in his throat.

The tiger took a deep breath, his eyes seemingly fixed on Zhou Si, but he was actually looking at Huo Daochuan out of the corner of his eye.

From the perspective of the tiger's moral values, Huo Daochuan is obviously not a very virtuous person, and a person who is not virtuous is exactly what the tiger finds difficult to control.

His tone was firm, like an order, "Huo Daochuan, take Dr. Zhou away first. I want to discuss this matter in detail with Madam Cui."

Huo Daochuan was about to open his mouth to say something, but at this moment the two silent humanoid avatars in the corner made small movements.

Seeing this, Huo Daochuan could only swallow back all his words, nodded calmly, and pushed Zhou Si out of the office.

Zhou Si was still laughing, and he didn't stop even when his voice was hoarse.
