"We believe that religious and cultural exchanges can be expanded between countries to promote the diversity of human civilization and strengthen mutual understanding between countries. To this end, we hope to invite famous religious figures from your country to our country, Königsberg University visits and exchanges.”

"Sorry, I'm just a diplomat, not a professional religious person, so I don't know much about religious matters. You can convey relevant requirements to our country's religious affairs management department through the embassy."

....................................

..............................

About an hour later, the door to the conference room opened and several diplomats walked out of the conference room one after another.

After walking out of the Human Alliance headquarters building and getting into the black car waiting at the door, Pan Weihan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said to the attendant on the side: "Zhong He, what do you think?"

This attaché's name is Jiang Cheng, also known as Zhonghe, and his true identity is Pan Weihan's intelligence secretary, who is responsible for handling many intelligence tasks that the mission has daily contact with.

"Although all major countries are currently avoiding talking about the existence of Category [-] incidents, at least on a non-public level, all countries are strengthening information collection in this area. With the current framework of the People's Federation, countries The limited exchange of information that has begun is actually to be expected.”

Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment and continued: "However, I feel that this meeting is more like a test. I suspect that the Three Kingdoms have discovered something, but I am not sure yet, so I use this method to test our side. manner."

Pan Weihan nodded. He was an old diplomat and well aware of the turmoil here. He added, "What do you think they want to test?"

"Religion." Jiang Cheng replied: "Although they went around in circles for a long time, I still feel that what they care about most is religion."

"I don't have enough information to judge their intentions, but I can see that they seem to have an unusual interest in our country's religion."

Pan Weihan nodded: "As you said, nowadays, the fourth type of incident is almost an open secret among major countries. Although the countries where such incidents have occurred have so far not chosen to make it public, however, for such incidents All countries are sparing no effort in gathering intelligence.”

Chapter 4 Strange events on the starship

"If the situation continues to develop, it will only be a matter of time before a cooperation and coordination mechanism between countries emerges."

"For big countries, the current situation is controllable. What really interests all countries are the interests that may exist behind these." Pan Weihan took out a cigarette, took it to his nose, sniffed it, and put it away. Go back: "After all, every unknown discovery may bring about the progress of human civilization. And every progress may be a reshuffle of the interest pattern."

"For chess players, of course, they hope to be able to sit at the poker table forever. What is in front of them is a new poker table. Therefore, whether it is communication, display or testing, what we see is the collection and display of chips. s method……"

"You mean, the reason why they are so eager is because they may realize that we have an important bargaining chip, so they are eager to test it?" Jiang Cheng said thoughtfully.

Pan Weihan nodded slightly, showing a teachable expression. In his opinion, Jiang Cheng was a very talented person, so he would give him some tips and carefully train him.

"What you just said is correct. Their interest is probably at the religious level in our country."

"The mainstream religions in our country are Taoism and Buddhism. The Western Shengqi religions are not widely spread in our country." Jiang Cheng thought for a while and then said: "However, strictly speaking, Buddhism is not unique to our country. It has been widely spread in many countries. Relatively speaking, Taoism, as my country’s native religion, has a relatively narrow spread area and is mostly concentrated in our country.”

"So, what you are saying is that what they are really interested in is Xuanmen?"

"Yes, but this is not something we need to judge. Let's spread this news back to the country as soon as possible."

(Note: As a diplomat, Pan Weihan did not obtain relevant information about special people in the country. His understanding of this was based on the intelligence collected from other countries. Therefore, he did not know the particularity of Xuanmen.)

承和37年西历2016年3月13日13:55墨根河号探索试验舰

Winters was in a bad mood at this time. Although the experimental ship had returned to the normal universe, the matter was not over.Just this morning, another crew member was found missing.

The crew member's name is Yukio Kojima, a crew member of Fuso origin. He usually doesn't talk much and has a weak sense of presence. He is a researcher on the ship. He was last seen last night.

After conducting further searches, they still found nothing, and the crew member seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.

As a result, the incident became more and more confusing. Winster believed that the two missing crew members so far should have been killed if nothing unexpected happened.

However, how did this situation happen where no one was seen alive, no body was seen dead, and there were no witnesses?If it cannot be found out, it will be a huge risk for the entire Morgan River.

It was necessary to figure out what happened as soon as possible. To this end, Winters summoned the senior management of the ship to check the ship's monitoring in the control room.

When Sorchin disappeared before, because the Mogen River happened to encounter a storm, strong electromagnetic interference caused the monitoring to fail. But this time, the monitoring was intact.

Face recognition was used to retrieve all the surveillance footage showing Yukio Kojima in the past two days. Based on these surveillance footage, Yukio Kojima's movements within the ship were quickly mapped out.

Winters directly ordered the crew to retrieve the latest part of the surveillance. After comparing the two, where exactly Kojima Yukio went, the truth was instantly revealed.

According to Kojima Yukio's movement trajectory, just last night, Kojima Yukio, who was sorting experimental data in the experimental cabin, left the experimental cabin and went straight to the tail cabin.According to the path, he passed through three adjacent cabins and directly entered the tail cabin at about 01:23 in the morning.

By retrieving the surveillance footage from the tail cabin at the time, everyone discovered that after entering the tail cabin, Yukio Kojima actually set up the garbage disposal and finally got in...

"Is this...suicide?!" This is the first reaction in the minds of almost everyone who sees this scene.

The test ship has an independent garbage disposal system. Most of the domestic garbage and excrement will be recycled, especially water. The water in the ship is a very precious material. Domestic water must be reused after recycling. .

The waste generated by recycling will not be discarded directly. This is mainly to avoid the leakage of DNA containing humans or earth creatures due to such discarding.

Such regulations also come from the doctrine of the Earth Defense Force, because in fact they have not had contact with any alien civilization, and they do not know the combat modes and forms of warfare of alien civilizations.Therefore, many of the Earth Defense Force's regulations can only be as careful as possible to avoid unpredictable risks.

Therefore, on spacecraft, waste is generally incinerated using the heat generated by the fusion furnace before being discarded into space.

As for Kojima Yukio who got into the garbage disposal, it was obvious that he had been processed and incinerated...

Winters quickly ordered the crew to check the garbage disposal. It was the only garbage disposal on the ship. As usual, around 10:00 a.m. every day, after collecting the domestic garbage on the ship for the day, It will be processed once, and the final waste will be compressed and thrown off the ship.

Winters quickly received a report that the garbage disposal machine was operating as usual today. Therefore, apart from part of Kojima Yukio's remains being recycled, the other part should have been abandoned out of the cabin...

Things became even weirder from this. Just looking at the video, it seemed like a suicide...

The crew members of the exploration and test ship Moganhe are all selected through layers. It is not an exaggeration to say that they can defeat six generals after passing five levels. The psychological test is one of the core test items. Logically speaking, it is impossible. Let people with psychological problems or even suicidal tendencies enter the experimental ship.

In particular, this is already the second disappearance that has occurred in a short period of time. Although the first disappearance cannot be confirmed to be the same situation so far, if it is simply regarded as two coincidences, it is tantamount to questioning. The intelligence of the high-ranking officials on the ship.

"Read it again." Winters ordered.

This time, the video starts from Kojima Yukio leaving the experimental cabin, then starts playing again, until he reaches the tail cabin, and finally gets into the garbage disposal machine...

"Do you feel that his state seems a little weird, as if...well..." Second Officer Bazel frowned and organized the words.

"Sleepwalking." First mate Joseph suddenly said.

Chapter 4 The Sleepwalking Astronaut

"Yes, it's like sleepwalking!" Bazel nodded heavily.

Captain Winters did not speak, but motioned to play it again. This time, everyone saw that the strange posture of Yukio Kojima on the screen was indeed very wrong.Because they are in a microgravity environment, the actions of all crew members are relatively similar. This is a habitual posture developed after long-term training. The range of movements is very small, a bit like moving in the water.In the video, Kojima Yukio's posture seems a bit large and stiff, which looks strangely uncoordinated, and his head is always tilted, as if he is dozing off.

Winters urgently called the ship's doctor. Because of the danger of the test ship's operation, the ship was equipped with three professional ship's doctors to prepare for various problems that may arise during the voyage. They were also responsible for checking the crew's health every three days. , and at the same time create health records of the crew.These will become important scientific research materials. As data collection of human body changes during the voyage in subspace, they have extraordinary academic value.

The ship's doctors quickly confirmed the first mate's view that Kojima Yukio's condition at the time was very abnormal. When moving, his body movements were extremely uncoordinated, and there was a suspicion that there was a problem in certain areas of the brain.As Joseph had guessed before, this situation is usually more common in patients with epilepsy and sleepwalking patients.

However, because the person involved was not present at this time, the ship's doctor could only make guesses based on the images in the video, and had no way to prove his point of view.

As for why this phenomenon occurs, there are more speculations. According to the ship's doctor, the most likely cause is some sudden mental illness.Regarding the research on mental illness, even in modern times with prosperous science and technology, human research is not in-depth. As for the causes and operating mechanisms of many mental illnesses, until now, the academic community has divergent opinions. Most of them remain in the stage of conjecture, and they are not even conjectures. superior.The biggest problem here is that so far, human beings do not have a deep understanding of the nature of "life". Research on topics such as "brain", "consciousness", "self-cognition", "the nature of life" and so on are still at a standstill. At a relatively superficial stage, and before these issues are explored in depth, there will inevitably be no significant progress in the treatment of mental illness.

On some occasions, some scholars do not even consider the study of human spirituality today to be a "science."

However, the ship's doctor's opinion was not recognized by most of the ship's senior officials. After all, this was not the first "missing" crew member, but the second.Coincidences can never happen again. After all, this is the first time for everyone in the unfamiliar field of subspace navigation, and they have no experience to refer to. Who knows if there may be some unknown risks?

Since the "Pandea Ocean Falling Star Incident", a large number of science fiction works have emerged in an endless stream, and a large number of them focus on interstellar wars, alien invasions, dangers from deep space, etc., so that many of the ships on the ship today People who have been influenced by such science fiction works will naturally associate more with them.

After some discussion, Winters first announced the assembly of the entire ship to conduct a thorough physical examination. Everyone must pass the examination, and the personnel on duty would change shifts for inspection.

The ship is equipped with relatively advanced physical examination and even surgical equipment. Winters' move was because someone asked whether there was something "unclean" mixed into the ship.

In fact, almost all the crew members have watched movies such as "Alien". In this world, humans' imagination of strange creatures in the alien world has even exceeded Zhang Jing's previous life.

However, the efficiency of the physical examination on the ship was not as good as that of those in regular large hospitals, and the speed was slower. This physical examination took a full day.As for the final result, I don't know whether it should be said to be a blessing or a disappointment. In short, there was no valuable discovery.

Coupled with the fact that there were no other findings worthy of attention during the ship's inspection at the same time, it seems that Kojima Yukio's disappearance was really just an accidental suicide that was most likely caused by mental illness.

Even so, for the sake of safety, Winters readjusted some of the ship's doctrines, especially regarding duty. When conditions permit, for most positions, duty rotations are carried out in pairs as much as possible.

At the same time, the crew members are reminded that if they find any abnormality, no matter what it is, they must report it to their superiors in time.

In addition, he will also send the current situation in the test ship to the earth in the form of encrypted communication. Unfortunately, humans have not yet conquered ultra-long-distance communication technology. After a long period of subspace navigation, they are now relatively far away from the earth. The location is already more than 70 light-years away. At this distance scale, sending encrypted communications is more like a "ritual" than of much practical use.

In this era when subspace navigation technology has just achieved breakthroughs, human space navigation seems to have returned to the Age of Discovery hundreds of years ago, an era when ships left port and sailed to the ocean, each settling on its destiny.

承和37年西历2016年3月14日14:25京师普济宫

This year's winter is extremely cold. Even in March, the temperature still shows no sign of rising. It even snowed again last night. When we woke up this morning, everything in the capital was covered with a layer of white snow.

At this moment, a group of people wearing Taoist robes were walking together along the path beside the East Lake on the bank of Xiaodong Lake in the back hill of Puji Palace.

"Hahahaha, please, Abbot Li, please..."

"Really please..."

Walking at the front of the group were two elderly Taoist priests wearing green Taoist priest robes. One of them was the abbot of Puji Palace, Dexuan Zhenren, and the other was Li Jingxin, the abbot of Dinghai Yunxiao Palace.

Both of them were smiling at this time. Master Dexuan was walking while introducing the scenery along the way to Li Jingxin, and behind them, a group of disciples followed.Since both of them were abbots of the Xuanmen Sect, it was difficult to distinguish between them, so they walked side by side, with the other disciples following behind.

The main purpose of Li Jingxin's visit to Beijing this time is to participate in this year's Spring Equinox Festival. The festival will be held on March 3, which is the Spring Equinox this year.Generally speaking, there are fasting, bathing and other rituals before the big ceremony. In addition, various entertainments are unavoidable, so Li Jingxin came to the capital about a week in advance this time.

Chapter 4 Li Jingxin’s palpitations

As the largest palace in the capital and the host of the Spring Equinox Ceremony, Puji Palace is vaguely a landowner. Coupled with its special status as a royal family temple, after Li Jingxin entered the capital, although he did not directly register at Puji Palace, But he also went to Puji Palace to pay a visit as soon as possible.

As the abbot of Daguan, one of the Three Mountains of Xuanmen and one of the most important in the south, Li Jingxin was naturally no ordinary visitor. The abbot of Puji Palace, Dexuan Zhenren, personally welcomed him as soon as he got the news.This was the first time Li Jingxin visited Puji Palace in Beijing after taking over Yunxiao Mountain. He had come once more than ten years ago, when he accompanied his master Xiao Zhenren to Beijing as his disciple.

"When I saw Abbot Li this time, he was in good spirits. He looked as good as any young man!" Dexuan's words were not a compliment. Although Li Jingxin was actually nearly seventy years old at this time, at first glance, he looked steady and steady in his steps. The vitality and spirit look like that of a man in his forties.

In fact, this change has begun subtly since Li Jingxin started practicing Buddhism. The disciples and Taoist priests around him may not notice it because they see him every day, but those who meet him for the first time or haven’t seen him for a long time will notice it. Very strong feelings.

"It's nothing more than self-cultivation and study, and I don't dare to slack off in practice..." As he said that, Li Jingxin stretched out his hand towards the south and made a false bow: "Teacher's teachings, I don't dare or forget them."

"Master Xiao is a great master of his generation. We really admire him... Abbot Li has served Master Xiao for many years. When he comes to Beijing this time, he is willing to teach you..." Master Dexuan said with a smile.

"Master, you are so polite. The Xuanmen Grand View of Puji Palace has a profound foundation. Master is well-educated and well-educated, and is known all over the world." Li Jingxin complimented. He secretly observed the people around him, and felt that among the disciples of Master Dexuan, The Qi of two of them was vaguely sharp, and they did not look like ordinary Xuanmen disciples. On the contrary, they looked a bit like people from the public sect who had been trained for a long time.

However, thinking that this place is the royal family temple, there must be some secret arrangements.

"The capital is not as cold as the south. It snowed yesterday. I don't know if Abbot Li is used to it."

"As a monk, there is nothing wrong with taking things as they come."

"Hahaha, come on, please come here. It's a coincidence that Abbot Li is here today. Snow viewing on the Xiaodong Lake in Puji Palace is also a sight to behold. I have asked my disciples to prepare tea, so we can enjoy the tea and enjoy the scenery together."

Led by Dexuan, the group walked along the garden behind Puji Palace towards Xiaodong Lake. About a quarter of an hour later, they walked to the Lake View Pavilion on the west side of Xiaodong Lake.

"This is an inscription by Emperor Taizu, who often came here to discuss mysteries with Patriarch Kunwu in his spare time." Master Dexuan said proudly, pointing to the plaque on the front door of Guanhu Pavilion that read "Guanhu Discussing Taoism".Although it does not have as long a historical heritage as the Three Mountains of Xuanmen, in terms of favor from the royal family alone, Puji Palace is indeed closer to the other Xuanmen sects.

Since it was the ink left by the Taizu of this dynasty, Li Jingxin tidied up his clothes and led his disciples to solemnly raise their hands to show respect for the royal family.After that, under the leadership of Dexuan, we continued to enjoy the scenery of Guanhu Pavilion.

Because of the snow, the copper and gold tiles on the Lake View Pavilion were now covered with a layer of snow. The surrounding trees had fallen leaves and their branches were covered with snow.The waves on the lake are as flat as a mirror, reflecting the gloomy gray-white sky, showing a lonely beauty.

After a few words of praise, the group of people, led by Dexuan, stepped onto the wooden viewing platform next to the lake viewing pavilion. The platform extended to the lake to the water. They leaned on the railing and looked out. The field of vision was quite broad, and they could even see the brocade under their feet. Schools of carps shuttled back and forth under the platform.These koi fish came closer when they saw someone approaching. They were obviously well fed.

Li Jingxin complimented him casually while admiring the scenery of the lake with Master Dexuan.At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the heartbeat of Master Dexuan beside him suddenly accelerated a few minutes. At the same time, the heartbeats of several disciples behind Master Dexuan also accelerated a few minutes at the same time. Even, The two disciples who he had noticed before and who were suspected to be members of the public sect also focused their attention on him intentionally or unintentionally.

This series of subtle changes would have been completely impossible for Li Jingxin to detect in the past. In fact, even now, except for him, no one among the three disciples behind him noticed these changes. Everyone They all just looked around with smiles on their faces, admiring the scenery on the lake.

However, as a monk, Li Jingxin's five senses were far more sensitive than ordinary people. These unusual details made him instinctively vigilant.

At the next moment, Li Jingxin suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation. This palpitation was not strong, but it made him clearly realize that something bad was about to happen, and it was right in front of him...

There was a faint sound of wooden boards breaking under my feet. The sound was very subtle. Then, my feet felt weak, and my whole body seemed to be about to step on the ground...

At this critical moment, Li Jingxin's inner energy that he had practiced tirelessly in these days naturally circulated, and he subconsciously started to use the method in "The Forbidden Method of Disha: Floating"...

It was too late, but it was soon. In the eyes of the people around, this moment was still a harmonious scene. Abbot Li of Yunxiao Temple, accompanied by Master Dexuan, stayed on the viewing platform for a while and watched The lakes and mountains were beautiful, and nothing unusual happened.

Li Jingxin noticed that although Master Dexuan was still chatting with him, he glanced at his feet intentionally or unintentionally, and he immediately had some speculation.

His face was calm, and he chatted with Master Dexuan about the scenery for a while. As time passed by, the wind started to rise on the lake. At this time, the cold outside was getting thicker, and Master Dexuan couldn't keep it with him. He was blowing the wind with the guests, so he suggested that everyone go to the pavilion to serve tea.

"Does the real person seem to have something on his mind?" The real person Dexuan seemed a little absent-minded. Li Jingxin asked with a half-smile.

"Oh, maybe I rested a little late yesterday, so I laughed, I laughed... Abbot Li, please come here..."

Just as the two left the viewing platform, two of the disciples following the team looked at each other and slowed down in unison. These two were disciples of Master Dexuan, Zhou Shiguan. With Qian Shijin.The two of them gradually fell behind the others, and then, intentionally or unintentionally, they walked towards the place where Li Jingxin was standing just now...

"Is there something wrong? Is there something wrong with the medicine?" Zhou Shiguan lowered his voice, frowned, and whispered in Qian Shijin's ear.

"No, we have done experiments before, and there is absolutely no problem with the effect. After the wooden board is corroded, it will definitely break if you step on it..." Qian Shijin also lowered his voice.
