Invade the World

   Chapter 397 Cold War, Cold War!

  “…”

   "Today, he's still not there."

   Lin Xingjie, who was lying on the operating chair, opened her eyes and stared blankly at a corner of the room.

   Unlike the room on the ground, there were no windows there, only cold cement, but she still didn't look away.

   The girl's face looked paler than before, as if she had become weaker and thinner, and her chubby face could now be seen with a little pointed chin.

"Who are you talking about?"

Standing not far away, Lin Mingyuan, who was holding a screwdriver and a vise to debug the instrument, turned his head. He had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. teacher; and the blue uniform he wears makes him look more like a workshop worker.

  “…”

  Lin Xingjie didn't answer, just stared blankly at the empty place.

  The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at her in a daze. After thinking for a while, he finally understood, and suddenly said:

   "Ah, is that the ghost?"

   "...Dad knows?"

   "Well. Didn't 'he' use your body to chat with me before, and we've known each other since then."

   "...Yes, there is such a thing."

  Lin Xingjie sighed.

   "In the past few days, I always feel that I can't remember what happened before. The memories of the past are a little vague, as if they were washed out by something..."

   The little girl's tone became mature. Lin Mingyuan heard it clearly, and knew what was going on—except for the impact on the conscious level of the brain caused by the repeated experiments of linking to the distant realm, what other reasons could there be?

   Even for an adult, the experience of slowly feeling "my memories fade away at a speed visible to the naked eye" is too much, often accompanied by old age or disease.

Human memory is a kind of proof, which proves the existence value and basic attributes of human beings. A person who has forgotten all memories is no different from a new born person. The confusion, sadness and fear contained in it are hard to imagine without personal experience; However, the little girl has shown acceptance far beyond her age.

  Compared to him, as a father, he couldn't say a word except to keep silent about this terrible thing.

   "He also said he was a future man."

   "...Yeah, future people. If only someone could come from the future, he could tell us about the future, avoid the traps of the present, and avoid regrets."

   "Dad doesn't believe it?"

   "Well, things like time travel are quite common in science fiction..."

  Lin Mingyuan thought about it, his expression was very subtle.

   "No, it's impossible to believe it or not. He wanted to tell me something about the future to prove that he wasn't lying, but I didn't listen."

   "Huh, why? Isn't Dad curious?"

  Lin Mingyuan didn't answer, or he didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, my daughter did not delve into this issue.

   At this point, the man decides to talk about something light, or at least make him feel relaxed. He asked with a smile:

   "Then did he tell you?"

   "Well, I said it!" A smile appeared on the little girl's face unconsciously, "But there are some things I don't understand, and I almost forgot about it now."

   "What do you remember?"

   "—he said...he said the Cold War would end soon."

  Lin Mingyuan was stunned for a moment.

   This is really... an unexpected topic.

   "Could it be that a nuclear war broke out?"

   The man's brows quickly furrowed deeply.

If the world situation does not change much in the next few years, he only needs to consider the present; but if the international situation really deteriorates to the level of a world war, it is not impossible for the **** media to participate in the war, then what he needs to consider becomes more complicated.

   "No, it seems that there is no war, and the Soviet Union itself will disintegrate... I don't understand."

   For a period of time, Lin Mingyuan did not speak, his glasses slipped from the bridge of his nose, and his face was full of undisguised astonishment.

   "This, this is really unexpected..."

   Lin Mingyuan shook his head with a wry smile. For those born in this generation, the precarious but rock-solid international situation that has lasted forty years of bipolar confrontation has become an atmosphere that everyone is as accustomed to as air. No one would have thought that it would be Falling apart easily one day.

   But just because it sounds outrageous, after thinking for a while, the man feels that he can accept it, because some things are not without warning.

   Twenty years earlier, when he was still in elementary school, he never imagined that he would one day have the opportunity to go abroad for further studies and work in laboratories in Western countries for several years. At that time, the Soviet Union was still their big brother forever.

Although secret projects involving the supernatural field are different from talent exchanges in other fields, individual subjective initiative plays a relatively large role in them, but changes in the international situation are still an important factor for changes in relevant policies and control measures, even including The fall of the Otherworld Observatory and the establishment of the Stargazing Society are closely related to the replacement of the external environment.

   Conversely, the world pattern is also subtly changing due to the process of psychic groups gradually entering the political arena.

   For example, because he has two divine media that have attracted worldwide attention, his motherland can naturally have greater confidence in the political game, even when it is time to tear up its face with other countries.

   "Well, it's good that there is no war."

  Lin Mingyuan converged his thoughts. This is indeed jaw-dropping news. If someone else comes, learning about the inside story will probably cause another turmoil. However, for Lin Mingyuan, the most important thing is now.

   "Dong dong dong."

   There was a knock on the door in the direction leading to the ground.

"come in."

  Meng Zheng smiled and walked down with the food box.

   "I brought you food."

  The young man took out the steaming food and set the tableware and chopsticks. He is a very qualified assistant, and he still does a perfect job in taking care of life.

   Meng Zheng smiled and waved to the little girl lying on the operating chair.

   "Come for lunch."

   Who knows, Lin Xingjie turned her head and refused bluntly.

"I will not eat."

   Lin Mingyuan asked:

   "Don't you like your mother's cooking?"

   "...No." The little girl shook her head, "But I really can't eat it."

   The two adult males looked at each other.

   "We have already taken her to the hospital for examination. There is no problem with the physical indicators. It is completely a psychological obstacle."

   "...then there is no way. The experimental process puts a burden on the brain, which in turn causes psychological oppression."

   "Fortunately, there is no organic damage, and you can recover as long as you rest for a period of time."

   The body is not damaged, but the loss of memory and the impact on the soul can really be regarded as invisible?

  Lin Mingyuan doesn't know the answer. It seems that he can only choose the not so bad one out of two bad ideas.

  At least, the loss of memory is not irreversible, and she will always have a chance to regain it one day in the future.

   "Senior brother, sister-in-law's mental state doesn't seem to be very good."

   Meng Zheng whispered.

   After the experiment started, Lin Suya came to the basement several times. She tried to stop her husband's behavior several times. After realizing that it was pointless, she began to persuade Xingjie to go back, but the effect was also very limited.

   After a few days, she seemed to have given up, and the couple seemed to have fallen into a long-term "cold war", and the family was temporarily divided in two.

   As long as the cause and effect are explained clearly in the future, women may be able to understand his actions.

   But he finally chose another path. .

  …

   "The ghost...isn't there."

   The little **** the bed started thinking about the disappearing ghost again.

   Lin Mingyuan sighed.

   In fact, it was the ghost who claimed to be the future who appeared and became the last chip in his decision to implement the plan.

  The man learned a key piece of information from the other party: Xingjie has lived well for ten years and became a high school student.

   This is the biggest encouragement for Lin Mingyuan.

  Because he knew very well that if he did nothing, Xingjie would not be able to live for ten years. Maybe in less than half a year, his daughter will be pulled into another world.

  The only one who can stop all this is himself; on the other hand, being able to prevent the worst from happening naturally means that his conjecture must be correct.

   Therefore, he really believed from the bottom of his heart that the other party had indeed seen the vision of the future, or he had to force himself to believe it.

   "Get ready, today's experiment."

"okay."

   Meng Zheng nodded.

   "Are you in a daze?"

   "...I think, isn't the situation going well?"

   "Soon. Success is at hand."

  Lin Mingyuan feels like an unscrupulous boss who randomly draws a big cake for his subordinates; but the fact is that he himself has no confidence, just holding on to the little hope that is illusory in the eyes of others and reluctant to let go.

   "Soon."

   "That's fine, that's fine..."

   Meng Zheng's eyes flashed a strange shimmer.

   "If you encounter difficulties, senior brother, don't be stingy and tell me, I will definitely help."

   "...how can you help?"

   "I don't have much ability, but I can ask others to help!"

   "Aren't you unwilling to let others participate?"

   Lin Mingyuan frowned, feeling that this guy's mental energy seemed a little out of place.

   "I thought so before. But in the end, it's just a little bit of my personal selfishness, and it's nothing compared to the importance of making this experiment a success."

   "No, I don't need it."

  Lin Mingyuan shook his head.

  If he was willing to ask someone for help, he had done so from the beginning, but it was about the physical and mental safety of his daughter, and anyone could see the huge benefits behind the experiment, which was enough to make anyone take risks, and he would not rest assured to give it to others.

  Meng was just a troublemaker who came to him on his own initiative. He had no choice but to think of a suitable reason, and then make good use of the character of the other party to ensure that he could keep the secret.

   "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother."

   Meng Zheng was very obedient.

  …

   Experiments continue, but the results are still few and far between.

First of all, after he tried to contact the distant realm, the turbulent black tide could not wait again, and it arrived as promised; but the problem is that this force is too huge, and it is impossible to control it with the human body. If you try to let the individual Touching without any protection will only burn your head.

Therefore, until the end of the experiment, Lin Mingyuan will not let go of the control of his daughter's brain. The Kuroshio can only return without success in the face of the strong barriers of the two worlds like a wave that smashes into the sky on the reef. .

   A similar phenomenon has occurred dozens of times under the leadership of Lin Mingyuan since the beginning of the experiment. The "Kuroshio" is like a crazy man and a woman who is in love.

Of course, Lin Mingyuan knows that monsters in another world have no so-called "emotions", which can only prove Kuroshio's terrifying obsession with the existence of Xingjie, and regards the little girl as the only medium that can make it come to reality at this moment. .

  Lin Mingyuan's attempt was not completely ineffective.

  According to his experience, after these dozens of experiments, the Kuroshio is indeed becoming "softer" a little bit.

It seems to be aware that the girl's fragile mortal body cannot carry too much power, so in order to have a platform that can communicate with reality - "invading the world", this is almost the only impulse of the supernatural power in the distant land - it is indeed slowly. Change the way you engage with the medium.

   In other words, the Kuroshio has no emotions, but has a mechanism similar to "rationality" or "thinking".

   What surprised Lin Mingyuan even more was that he found that at the end of each experiment, he should have been washed away by the connection with the distant realm, but Lin Xingjie's brain activity still tenaciously maintained a certain regularity——

  Yes, she is seizing this opportunity to domesticate this power of her own will.

  Lin Mingyuan's mood is complicated and difficult to understand, there are surprises and worries, but more of it is gratification and pride.

He has seen more than one or two mediums in his life, from the most mediocre psychic to the supernatural medium standing on the top of the world, so he can assert that whether his daughter acts according to instinct or according to his own will , which is enough to prove that she is extremely talented as a psychic medium.

   Plus the connection to the Kuroshio...

  Xingjie is destined to become the man of the era in the future.

  Unfortunately, he probably couldn't see it with his own eyes.

  Lin Mingyuan took off his eyes, rubbed his temples tiredly, and said to the girl who sat up from the operating chair and was rubbing her eyes.

   "I'll take you back to rest."

"okay."

   The little girl looked very sleepy, with sleepy eyes and pouting mouth, as if she might fall asleep at any time.

   "...It still doesn't work."

   Lin Mingyuan opened his bloodshot eyeballs and refocused his attention on this report.

  Things seem to be developing in a good direction, but the progress is too slow, and people's willpower will also be repeatedly depleted in long-term experiments. If it goes on like this, he doesn't know which critical point of "success" or "failure" will come first.

   Moreover, Lin Mingyuan has always had a bad premonition recently, which is vague and haunts his mind all the time.

   As the so-called "Night and Dreams", no one knows if accidents will happen in the next period of time.

  *

  The accident really happened.

   That night, Lin Mingyuan was awakened by the noise from outside the house.

   He sat up from the bed and wanted to push the woman beside him, but found that he felt empty, and then he remembered that the two couples had already slept in separate rooms.

   The man sighed, grabbed two hands on the bedside table next to him, put on his glasses, and pulled down the light cord.

   The noise is not too loud, the sound source is still a little away from the room, but it sounds especially obvious in the dead of night.

   If it wasn't for the insomnia during this period, the quality of sleep was so poor that Lin Mingyuan started taking medicine for neurasthenia, he would not wake up so easily.

  Lin Mingyuan walked to the window and listened carefully for a while. He was just curious and thought it was what happened in the village, but the voice was...

   is the sound of more than one vehicle approaching, the tires running over the ground.

   The man was startled, he didn't even have time to put on his clothes, and hurried out of the building.

   As soon as he ran out of the ramp, he saw two incandescent lights coming from a distance, illuminating the bushes and grass by the roadside, and his eyes narrowed.

  Lin Mingyuan watched the car go away, standing on the side of the road with a gloomy expression, and a minute later another car drove by.

   A convoy from the outside world drove into this remote and unremarkable small village.

  This is not a foreign country...

   Don't think about it, this place can be targeted by this group of uninvited guests, I am afraid there is only one.

  Lin Mingyuan's heart became heavy and cold in an instant, falling straight into a deep well like a cold and hard stone.

   He gritted his teeth and quickly ran towards the basement.

  …

   When he was nearby, Lin Mingyuan slowed down.

  Unsurprisingly, he saw a familiar figure standing next to several cars, talking to a group of men in dark uniforms.

  ...It's Meng Zheng.

   The other party noticed Lin Mingyuan's gaze, turned his head, and collided with his gaze.

   He scratched the back of his head, as if acting out his embarrassment, and after a while patted the stranger who was talking to him on the shoulder and walked towards him through the crowd.

   "I don't want to break my face with you, brother."

  Meng Zheng shook his head and sighed.

   "But with your intelligence, brother, you should be able to guess what I'm going to say next..."

"who are they?"

   "A friend I used to know."

   "When I asked you to help, you didn't introduce this group of 'friends' to me."

"There's no way, the big men in the world are mostly guys who don't see rabbits and don't throw eagles, let alone convince them that such world-shaking experiments will be carried out by one person alone in such a rural place. I can only take them first. 'eyes' to see the results."

   "This is my experiment." Lin Mingyuan repeated word by word, "My experiment."

   "Of course, of course, I will never take credit with you, Senior Brother."

   Meng Zheng raised his hand with a smile on his face, expressing surrender.

   "I just want to lead the way for those who can help you. I really can't bear this project to stop indefinitely like this."

  Lin Mingyuan didn't scold him, he didn't even have the strength to scold him, he just watched the leading stranger walking towards him.

   "Mr. Lin Mingyuan, this is your site, we don't want to act rashly, can you help us open the door of the laboratory?"

   The other party asked very politely, however, the group of people under him were looking at the iron gate or at him as if mocking.

  Lin Mingyuan knew their origins.

  The world's top mercenary gangs now have specialized psychic departments, or are simply replaced by psychic groups.

   These people have no tools in their hands, but they themselves are the most terrifying weapons.

  Lin Mingyuan was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.
