conspiracy news agency

Carefully slipped into the administrative building all the way to the 5th floor and used the key to open the locked club activity room. After sunset, the activity room was pitch black and there was no one there.

I breathed a sigh of relief, turned on the light, and walked straight to the desk where the copy of the society registration form was most likely, only to find that the drawer of the desk was locked.

Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly felt a wonderful touch from my leg.

"Ghost... ghost!"

I jumped back in horror, and fell into the swivel chair in front of the desk. Excessive leaning made my head touch the window sill, and the severe pain made me unable to open my eyes for a while.

When I reacted, a cell phone screen with faint light was facing me.

"I'm not a ghost."

Looking carefully, I found that Shan Shangchuan was squatting under the desk in front of me in a posture unique to an injured animal, defending himself feebly with a mobile phone in his hand.

If it was normal, I would definitely ask why she appeared in such a strange way, but today I had to turn my face away to cover up my guilty conscience and gaffe.

"So...you are here." I coughed.

Shan Shangchuan took back the phone, typed a few words with his fingers at an almost invisible speed, and returned the phone to me.

"Well, I've been here all the time... because, today is my day on duty."

Ah, yes, today is indeed not my day on duty.But the reason why I appeared in the club activity room at this time was because I wanted to find Yue Guanglong's contact information from the club registration form.

In fact, as soon as Yue Guanglong left, I began to regret not asking him for his cell phone number directly.Because until it's clear, I don't really want anyone to know that I'm involved in this.Whether it's the news agency or Bai Anshun...or the student union's intelligence network should be far beyond my imagination. If you want to reduce resistance, it's better to hide your actions as much as possible.

"By the way, Senior Sister Shan Shangchuan, do you know where our club registration form is?"

I decided to go straight to get the association registration form and take it off with one blow. In order not to appear so abrupt, I even made up the reason for my own sentimentality:

"How should I say, I also want to see how many members there are in our club..."

Shan Shangchuan hesitated for a moment, then raised the phone in front of me again.

"Counting you, there are only two humans."

I knew this would happen a long time ago, of course I will not let it go.

"That makes me more interested, because the club must have at least 10 people to register? Please let me see the other 8 non-human beings anyway."

Shan Shangchuan frowned in a rare way, and then made a sliding motion on the phone, as if he was looking for something.

Only then did I notice that Shan Shangchuan seems to have changed another mobile phone, because the previous model was a classic full-keyboard model of Nokia ○, and the current one is a replacement for that full-keyboard model A mobile phone with both a full keyboard and a touch screen.

Although I don't know when Shan Shangchuan changed his mobile phone, but I can be sure that the use of this mobile phone must be the replacement of the one after I met her for the first time and she smashed the mobile phone.That is to say, the use time cannot exceed one month.

However, I can clearly see that the shell of the mobile phone has obvious wear and tear, and the full keyboard has signs of paint that is about to peel off.In my impression, one of the only remaining advantages of Nokia is sturdiness, but it has been used by Shan Shangchuan to such an extent that I have to wonder if Shan Shangchuan often falls or encounters accidents.

While I was looking at Shan Shangchuan's mobile phone, she seemed to have found what she was looking for, and then handed the screen to me again.

The screen of the mobile phone displays the contact interface. In the name column, there are three words "Yue Guanglong", and his mobile phone number and email are also written below.

In an instant, I understood that my intention had been discovered by Shan Shangchuan, so I had to smile and said:

"Sister Shan Shangchuan really knows everything."

"No, I only know what I see."

I have heard Shan Shangchuan mention this sentence more than once, although I don't think the "see" she said is the "see" I understand.

"Then when did you know about it?"

"Beginning in front of the closed cold drink shop, your strange behavior attracted me who didn't drink yogurt because the shop was closed for two consecutive days."

Although Shan Shangchuan's sense of presence is not high, the cafeteria is not an activity room, and there is no such strange corner under the desk to hide in. If Shan Shangchuan was present at that time, I would definitely have noticed it.

Obviously, Shan Shangchuan is using the few lying cells to compile completely unconvincing reasons, but I don't care, because compared to other people, Shan Shangchuan is the one who makes me feel at ease one person.

"Then, does Senior Sister Shan Shangchuan know why I contacted him?"

Shan Shangchuan nodded reflexively, then shook his head desperately as if he had done something wrong.

"Oh~? This is not like the Shan Shangchuan I know~" I sighed with a melancholy expression, "I thought Shan Shangchuan knew everything."

On the mobile phone held up in front of him again, there was no surprise written that sentence: "I only know what I see."

But, in fact, what Guo can you see?I tried my best to swallow this complaint, and continued to guide Shan Shangchuan to continue the topic.

"Then, did Senior Shan Shangchuan see the news about the car accident in front of the library recently?"

Senior Shan Shangchuan seemed to be hesitating, but finally nodded.

"Since Senior Sister Shan Shangchuan has seen it, please tell me everything you know." I said to Shan Shangchuan in an almost pleading tone.

Shan Shangchuan's fingers hovered over the phone for a while, as if he was choosing words.Afterwards, Shan Shangchuan started typing like crazy, completely ignoring my existence for nearly 10 minutes.There were only a few pauses in the middle of typing, and he raised his head and made eye contact with me with unknown meaning, as if he was thinking about something.

Speaking of it, I don't seem to know Shan Shangchuan at all. Apart from knowing that she is a senior from the same class as Tian Yu, I don't know any other information about her.

Unlike senior sister Tianyu's publicity, Shan Shangchuan seemed to deliberately keep a distance from everyone.Although she was silent and never left her mobile phone, she never saw her answer the phone.Most of the time I see her mobile phone is on the mobile client interface of SMS or social network.

However, like Shan Shangchuan in reality, Shan Shangchuan's social networking site homepage also looks lonely and deserted.Shan Shangchuan, who almost never takes the initiative to speak out, recently posted a status at around 7:[-] yesterday morning, and the content adhered to Shan Shangchuan's consistent style:

"Not open..."

If you practice the lame excuse just now, probably liking the same yogurt is the only common hobby between me and Shan Shangchuan.

Moreover, even in such a state of bewilderment, there is only one after a long time, looking down casually.Shan Shangchuan's account is even more lacking in the characteristics of a "person" than "Ye Gucheng". In addition to some celebrity photos and constellation predictions that girls of Shan Shangchuan's age like, it is also full of various good and bad The article of Men Silence and Women Tears.Generally speaking, it is impossible to have an accurate description of Shan Shangchuan from the outside through Shan Shangchuan's social network pages.

"Probably a girl in her 20s." That's all the information I can get from her social network accounts.

At this moment, my mobile phone rang suddenly, and it was the sound of more than one text message.

Originally, the ringtone of "Kill し て あ げ る" by the second lady was very imposing, but under the impact of multiple text messages, it became "ここここここ... ころしてあげる."

But I don't think there's anything to regret about it.Because, I admired Shan Shangchuan-senpai who was laughing out loud because of the broken ringtone.As if she didn't expect such a weird ringtone, Senior Sister Shan Shangchuan burst out laughing, but as expected of Senior Sister Shan Shangchuan, before I had time to agree, she quickly returned to her usual appearance, as if just now It's as if nothing happened at all, the only change is that his face seems to be slightly flushed because of holding back a smile, and he looks very cute.

I pretended I didn't see it, and opened the inbox of my phone. Not surprisingly, it was all text messages from Shan Shangchuan.I find the first text message and start reading it.

"Student Luo Haofeng should already know more or less that this world doesn't operate according to what we, or ordinary people see. In places that ordinary people can't see, outside our own cognition Domain, this world is likely to follow some invisible rules.”

"Whether it's magic, supernatural, or superpowers, the name is not important nor is it the key, the key is the mystery. Among the many "what we don't know", maybe some can emit rays that evaporate everything, and some It can make the speed of the body much higher than that of ordinary people, and it can also be naturally angry or naturally frozen."

"Among so many things we don't know, there must be a method that can recover Shang Qianhua who was almost seriously injured to death. Presumably, the chairman of the student union used this method that we don't know to bring Shang Qianhua back to life. .”

"However, of all the things we don't know, there is one that is the oldest, the most powerful, the simplest and the most terrifying, and the closest thing to the original "ignorance" is called "rumor."

Seeing this, I raised my head and looked at Shan Shangchuan, as if I understood something, but Shan Shangchuan motioned me to continue reading.

"Whether it is magic called rumors, superpowers, or supernatural, it is the strongest existence among all these indescribable things. Especially in the case of black-box experiments like "Schrödinger's cat", almost There is no magic that can withstand the power of rumors."

"Human language itself can influence human beings, but that influence is only negligible. Even people with the title of "linguist" can only subtly change people's thinking with their own power. However, rumors It’s different, what the rumors are pursuing is the cumulative effect of geometric multiples on that tiny influence. It directly acts on every “ignorance” power that is subject to the same language thinking body.”

"In the final analysis, the world known to humans is only based on human cognition. Therefore, if even human cognition can be distorted, then the world itself may also change. "

All the text messages ended here. When I saw this, I almost blurted out - "Isn't this idealism?"

But Shan Shangchuan nodded, as if he knew that I would ask this question, and gently handed me the phone, which displayed the interface of the notepad.

"Just like the goldfish in a spherical fishbowl use optics to measure the world, they can only come to the conclusion that light travels along a curve, human beings can only be limited by their own perception. But this is not idealism after all, that is to say Human beings are goldfish placed in the sun, so they can come to the conclusion that "light is curved". If human beings are goldfish locked in a cellar, human beings can't even observe light, let alone observe light. path."

In other words...the difference between rumors and idealism...is the opportunity?

"Timing is important because rumors are more powerful than anything unspeakable, so rumors are more demanding timing than anything else we don't know about."

"Although ignorance is a necessary condition for rumors to start, just like goldfish need to know the existence of light first, knowledge is also a part of rumors, and knowledge largely determines the success or failure of rumors."

"This time, there are three people who were selected as knowledgeable, or forced to become knowledgeable, namely the chairman of the student union, classmate Luo Haofeng, and Mr. Ye Gucheng."

In other words, rumors are not something without wind and waves, at least a little convincing fuse is needed.

"The president of the student union chose to give up her power to guide rumors and become ignorant. This is determined by her position. Luo Haofeng decided to give up her knowledge, which was an unconscious decision. The remaining Mr. Ye Gucheng, Obtained the power of "knowledge" from students Luo Haofeng and Du Juan, and became the core figures who eventually led the formation of "rumors."

"In other words, did I cause all this?" I sadly handed the phone back to Shan Shangchuan.

"No," Shan Shangchuan seemed to have no time to type, and directly stopped my self-blame with his voice, "This has nothing to do with Luo Haofeng."

Although I was very happy to hear Shan Shangchuan's voice, I couldn't agree with her point of view, so I just shook my head.

Shan Shangchuan seemed to want to say something more, but it seemed that one sentence at a time was her limit, so she raised her mobile phone and quickly pressed the text.

"Luo Haofeng is a colorless "knowledge". He just expounded a fact with two branches as the original observer. The person who killed the cat in the box was the person who wanted everyone to see the dead cat, that is, " Mr. Ye Gucheng."

In other words, even if I don't delete the status, is it possible for Shang Qianhua to fall into the current situation?

"Not only that, if Luo Haofeng doesn't delete the status, rumors may spread to Luo Haofeng." Shan Shangchuan gave such an analysis.

I thought about it, and it seems to be the case.Because no matter what, I can't give a definite answer. If I blindly explain it one-sidedly after the photo of Ye Gucheng appeared, it might be thought by other students that they may have the intention to cover up the facts.In other words, Du Juan gave up his position as an observer in the first place to avoid the harm of rumors, right?

It is not difficult for me to understand what standards Du Juan, who is also the chairman of the student union who maintains the school's honor, will use as his own code of conduct.I'm afraid, if this matter can't be dealt with with the result of "Nothing happened to Shang Qianhua", Du Juan will start to deal with it with the result of "There has never been Shang Qianhua in this school", right?

It is not limited to this school, which is also one of the characteristics of this country.

However, it is simply too unacceptable to give up a person's life so easily for such reasons.

I nodded, expressing my acceptance of Shan Shangchuan's explanation.However, before I really decide how to act, there are still a few questions that I can't let go of.

"Why didn't Yue Guanglong and... my roommate Bai Anshun tell me about this situation?"

Shan Shangchuan hesitated for a while, Shan Shangchuan didn't seem to know this question, but was guessing.

"Maybe it's because rumors are the power of language...?" Although she had no tone, she could feel from Shan Shangchuan's words that she was also in doubt, "If even they say "that kind of hurt" , it can’t be cured under normal circumstances”, if this is the case, probably Shang Qianhua is really hopeless.”

I couldn't help frowning, that is to say... Did this conversation between me and Shan Shangchuan interfere with Du Juan's treatment to some extent?

Shan Shangchuan seemed to understand my worries, and hurriedly added on the phone: "It's okay, as long as you believe that classmate Shang Qianhua is still alive, there will be no problem! On my side... for some special reasons, I will not Affecting rumors."

"Is that so?"

I looked at Senior Sister Shan Shangchuan with some surprise, although I really wanted to ask further, but I still didn't ask out of my mouth.Because Shan Shangchuan’s words were obviously written by Gu Zuoyou, I didn’t want to embarrass her when she just helped me a lot—it doesn’t mean that I usually want to embarrass her—in short, this is different from the current situation. The points do not overlap, so I selectively skip this detail.

"One more thing..." I took a breath, because I thought I might be about to get in touch with more core content, "Sister Shan Shangchuan has been calling "Ye Gucheng" Mr. just now, could it be said that Shan Shangchuan has already Have you seen him?"

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that Shan Shangchuan's eyes seemed to sink after hearing my question, as if he blamed himself.

"At that time... I really didn't see "Ye Gucheng", so I didn't know his information at all, I'm really embarrassed."

"It's okay..." I said to myself, "I didn't see him either."

"This is different!" Shan Shangchuan typed these four words, then hurriedly retracted them and typed them on the phone excitedly, "I saw the scene at that time completely, but there is no one who can be called Ye Gucheng. In other words, the only witnesses should be you and Du Juan, but..."

Seeing Shan Shangchuan blaming himself, I suddenly had a protective desire as a boy, and unconsciously patted Shan Shangchuan on the shoulder.

Both Shan Shangchuan and I were taken aback by my actions, as if I had been electrocuted, I hastily withdrew my hand from Shan Shangchuan's shoulder, but that not-so-thin shoulder had a slightly fleshy soft touch But it seemed to stick to the hand.

My mind was in a mess, and a question popped out of my mouth suddenly:

"Why did you switch to Notepad in the middle of sending the text message just now?"

After hearing this question, Shan Shangchuan's entire face turned red, which was completely different from the cover-up after showing a smile before, it was completely ashamed.Then, I heard her small, sweet voice again:

"The phone... is in arrears."
