I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 455, This world has gone mad!

Physics no longer exists.

The story begins with a suicide scene involving Ms. Yang Dong, a physics professor at Peking University and a scientist at the forefront of science, who ended her life with sleeping pills.

For the police, this wasn't the first time.

From the perspective of detective Shi Qiang, the investigation begins on this case of a scientist's suicide.

This is definitely a major case.

The task force was established very quickly; this matter could not be delayed. If it weren't for the fact that foreign scientists were also committing suicide so inexplicably, it would almost be interpreted as the empire's undying ambition to destroy us.

The beginning of a slightly suspenseful script.

From the very beginning, they presented a concept that was completely incomprehensible.

Physics no longer exists.

The scientist's suicide begins from the perspective of a criminal police officer.

Shi Qiang is played by Liu Hewei, and Wang Miao is played by Eddie Peng.

When Peng Yuyan wears non-prescription glasses, she exudes a scholarly air.

He is refined and courteous.

"Mr. Wang Miao, I heard you've been in contact with members of the Science Frontier, is that right?" Shi Qiang said somewhat aggressively.

This also explains his personality and background. He was demoted to an ordinary criminal police officer because of his outstanding abilities but his lack of discipline.

But now is not the time to talk about these intricacies.

Scientists and their suicides, or physicists.

This urgently requires capable people.

Shi Qiang happened to be just that kind of person. The scripts Li Yun gave him were not very complete, and he felt a sense of ignorance, as if a fog had enveloped him.

He doesn't understand physics or the scientific community.

But he's a veteran detective; he understands murder cases, he understands human nature, and everything about him seems to be related to this organization called the Frontiers of Science.

At this moment.

For both Shi Qiang and Liu Hewei, the future was shrouded in mist.

He was eager to know the truth.

For both Liu Hewei and Shi Qiang, the future seemed shrouded in mist, a mist waiting to be unearthed, and curiosity drove their actions.

This is the advantage of everyone receiving a different script.

Everyone's script is incomplete; everyone has missing pieces of the puzzle; everyone is confused and lost, curiously looking ahead into the uncertainty.

"Is this a science fiction drama or a suspense drama?" Tony Leung joked at that moment, though he was secretly a little scared.

The pacing of this kind of plot is what a suspense drama should look like.

The biggest advantage of filming suspense dramas is that they can directly arouse people's curiosity and drive them to take action.

At this point, the trigger is probably the suicides of these scientists. From Shi Qiang's perspective, the collective suicides of scientists from all over the world are a murder case related to religion.

That religion that is called the boundary of science.

Yes, in Shi Qiang's view, this was a religious organization that lured people to suicide, and it was no different from any other case.

The reason he sought out Wang Miao was probably because of this young scientist, who had once come into contact with the frontiers of science.

He even invited them, scientists who had come into contact with the frontiers of science, to discuss things together.

"I heard you're developing some kind of material?"

Nanomaterials.

"So, if a criminal were to use this material to make a knife, wouldn't they be able to kill someone without them even realizing it?"

"First of all, if it has to be used for cutting, there's no need to make it into a knife. Just put this material, which is one percent the volume of a hair, on the roadside, and a big truck will speed by. My nanomaterials can cut it like cheese. Secondly, if criminals want to commit crimes, what can't they use? They can even use a knife used to cut fish at the market."

"Oh, forget about fish-cutting knives, I'll even use the fish itself. I once handled a case involving frozen tilapia, you know?"

Shi Qiang was intentionally or unintentionally trying to get information out of Wang Miao, seemingly testing the waters.

And it seems that after some probing, it becomes clear that Wang Miao is indeed just an honest person.

A dull and honest man.

"Regarding the recent suicides of high-ranking members of our scientific community, I would like to invite you all to discuss this with us."

The speaker is Tony Leung Ka-fai, who at this moment acts like someone in a superior position.

High-ranking military officials from the US, Japan, Britain, and Germany are all here.

Shi Qiang watched this with a great deal of excitement.

Even the old imperialist powers came to participate in this seminar.

In the past, they were the ones who were responsible for doing bad things.

These old-fashioned imperialist countries now have just as many scientists committing suicide as China.

The only clue is probably the last words left by these scientists who committed suicide, saying that physics no longer exists.

"It feels so complicated, I can't understand it at all, it seems a bit high-end, but as an actor, I just need to act accordingly."

Whether it's nanotechnology or physics, Zhang Jingchu looks at these concepts as if they were gibberish. This makes her feel slightly inferior.

Junior high school education is truly terrifying.

She really feels like her brain isn't quite up to par right now.

Of course, she understood the importance of preparing for the role and continued to act step by step.

Wang Chuanjun, who was standing next to him, was also looking at the script at that moment. He played Ding Yi, another fundamental physicist, and he was also looking at the script.

The worst thing about science fiction is that it's obscure and difficult to understand, and it uses some metaphysical concepts.

"I was actually worried that it would be too obscure and difficult to understand, and would require a certain level of comprehension from the audience. But after all, it is a science fiction work, and there is a certain threshold for watching it all over the world. This is true for Western science fiction works, so there is nothing wrong with that."

At this moment, Tony Leung is looking at his script, trying to convince himself with great interest.

He didn't actually know what the concept of "physics no longer existing" meant, and he was just as confused as the character.

It seems that in order to maintain this sense of mystery and ambiguity, he did not receive the complete script.

这是正确的。

For Liang Jiahui, however, there was a desire to unravel and explore the mystery, a curiosity about the unknown ahead, and how Li Yun presented the scenario that physics does not exist.

Can he make me understand?

Is it possible for Zhang Jingchu, who is... well, somewhat culturally disconnected, to understand this?

For a scholar-type role, it is necessary to understand what the role is researching in order to be convinced of oneself and to convince oneself of the connection between oneself and the role.

Only then can one possess a sense of conviction. A sense of conviction is the foundation of acting skills.

Only an actor with conviction can bring a character to life.

That means letting the actors know what their characters are doing.

The actor's purpose and motivation for the role.

What they didn't notice at that moment was...

Ding Yi, who was looking at the script, became increasingly engrossed.

The script in front of him was already creased with wrinkles from Wang Chuanjun's piling.

She gradually got into character, becoming a brilliant physicist who researched fundamental physics and Yang Dong's lover.

Peng Yuyan is slightly better. He knows about nanomaterials and this amazing thing. He is even more powerful than weapons. He can lift a large truck with a small thin rope.

This is something that Wang Miao, a physicist, researched.

At this point, Peng Yuyan was very curious: all those physicists had gone mad and committed suicide, so why was he, the physicist who had developed nanomaterials, safe and sound?

And what exactly is this so-called scientific boundary? Or is it like a domestic horror movie, where people are ultimately the ones causing trouble, creating the illusion of demons and monsters for their own selfish desires?

Everything is a mystery.

It all depends on how Li Yun, the chief screenwriter and director, writes the script.

Or, to put it another way, how can we make the story believable to the audience?

Science fiction.

It's not just about convincing yourself, the actors, and the audience.

At this moment, all Peng Yuyan wanted to know was how Li Yun would film the human computer.

At this moment, Wang Miao, played by Eddie Peng, only remembered something when she saw the name Yang Dong.

Wang Miao and Yang Dong had met once before, in front of the collider at Peking University. Yang Dong's fleeting glance captivated Wang Miao, leaving this taciturn physicist with a slightly mesmerizing feeling.

I was a little disappointed when I found out she had a boyfriend.

But it doesn't matter anymore, since the person is gone. After leaving behind the same last words as other scientists, he ended his life with sleeping pills.

Even if it was for Yang Dong, it was also for his own curiosity.

First, he needs to know what exactly means by the claim that physics no longer exists.

The organization at the scientific frontier.

Its main purpose seems to be to explore the limits of physics. In the universe that people know and explore, the laws have a boundary, a set of rules, and a limit. With the development of modern physics, people have become arrogant and think that they have touched the boundary of physics. And the person who has found the boundary is the current scientific boundary.

They are composed of many outstanding scientists, each with their own unique research methods and exceptional abilities.

On the surface, they are a group of outstanding talents who explore the limits.

But what it actually is, who knows?

Ding Yi at this time.

At this moment, Wang Chuanjun was talking to Li Yun.

At this very moment, Li Yun was whispering in Wang Chuanjun's ear.

Pass the script to him.

The current Li Yun gives the impression of a bewitching evil god, a god who manipulates the world's intelligent people.

This state was chilling; even Tony Leung and Eddie Peng felt a slight shiver and got goosebumps.

"Imagine you are a cutting-edge fundamental physicist who has dedicated your life to researching this subject. You are exploring the boundaries of science and pursuing the truth. Ding Yi, you are a top-notch genius physicist. Although you may not be as outstanding as Yang Dong, you are definitely a rare and exceptional talent."

"You've been surrounded by flowers and lived in praise since you were a child. Your life and your future have been dedicated to physics, and you, a prodigy, have always lived like this. You are all like this, and you are all the smartest people in the world."

"You are born with a kind of pride, you believe that your existence is solely for changing the world! You are proud, you are powerful, and most people in this world are just NPCs to you."

"But one day, you will discover problems that even you, the chosen ones, find difficult to understand. All the physical laws you derived in the past will no longer exist! The things you were so proud of, the things you studied for most of your lives! They have vanished!"

"What happened? What happened? Why did it turn out like this!"

At this moment, Wang Chuanjun walked out with disheveled hair, sunken eyes, and bloodshot eyes, looking as messy as a ghost.

This startled all the actors present; at least in terms of demeanor, he was probably in no better shape than the scientists who wanted to commit suicide.

At this moment, Ding Yi was in a state of complete obsession, as if he had truly gotten himself into a dead end.

Wang Miao was going to visit Ding Yi because Yang Dong's death occurred right after that particle collision experiment, and that's when she left behind that suicide note.

What were the results of that experiment?

Upon receiving Wang Miao's visit, Ding Yi chuckled and led the young applied physicist to his billiards table.

"Like this table of billiards, you and I move this table together, let's move it together."

Wang Miao was puzzled, but he still followed Ding Yi as they moved.

And before each time the table is moved.

Ding Yi then had Wang Miao hit a ball into the hole. The black ball hit the white ball, and the simple trajectory sent the ball into the hole.

No matter how the table was moved, the relative positions remained unchanged, the masses of the black and white balls remained unchanged, and the impact speed remained unchanged.

The result was the same: the black ball knocked the white ball into the hole.

It looked a bit boring, but Zhang Jingchu, who was observing from the sidelines, also understood a principle.

"No matter how you move the table, the result won't change. Even a three-year-old knows this. The positions are the same, so it's the same whether you beat a cadre or not."

Meanwhile, Tony Leung Ka-fai was pondering this scene.

"See, you understand now. Let's see what kind of explanation Li Yun's script will give next."

At this moment, Wang Miao also asked Ding Yi with a puzzled expression.

"Hehehehehe, do you think this is just a matter of course? Yes, no matter how you look at it, it's a matter of course. The particle collider in our lab works on the same principle."

"Same relative mass, same relative position, mass, velocity—everything is the same!"

"Can you imagine? Your first shot went in, but your second shot went astray!"

"The third time, the white ball flew straight upwards, soaring into the sky!"

"The fourth time, the white and black balls danced together in front of your ears, like uncontrolled sparrows, flitting about!"

"On the fifth time, he flew off the table at the speed of light, smashed through the wall, escaped Earth's gravity, and flew directly out of the solar system!"

At this moment, Ding Yi was panting heavily and said in a slightly manic voice!

"That's exactly the result of Yang Dong's particle collision experiment! The two particles had absolutely no pattern; they didn't follow the laws of physics and mathematics, and just flew around erratically!"

"Physics no longer exists!"

At this moment, Ding Yi, whose eyes were bloodshot, added a line of dialogue.

A line that wasn't in the script for The Three-Body Problem!

"This world has gone mad!"
