Chapter 2 Part 1: A Very Weird Container

Let's look at a piece of news first, which was published in Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" on March 19, 1989. (March 19, 1989, was an extremely important day for me. Many inexplicable things combined to form a stupid thing, and the stupid thing was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, When it got to the point where it couldn't be controlled, the big snowball exploded suddenly, so violently that when you were in it, you didn't know what happened, it felt like the end of the world.) (Don’t you understand the text in parentheses in the previous paragraph? It doesn’t matter, I don’t plan to describe that incident, and it has nothing to do with this story and the previous and future stories.)

The news is as follows: Strange stories about the Bermuda Triangle Sea burial dead found resurrected Documents prove death from cancer sixty-three years ago (Bermuda Aviation News of our newspaper) Many mysterious and incredible things have happened in the Bermuda Triangle. The man who came back from the dead. A fishing boat found a white canvas bag seventy-five miles south of Bermuda on February 26. When it was opened, it turned out to be a living man.According to the captain, the man claimed to be Mi Gao.Wells.Keane, and said that he died of cancer sixty-three years ago, but has been vague about everything after death.He was later taken to a Bermuda hospital and then to the Zurich Psychiatric Research Center in an attempt to find out why he came back from the dead.

Dr. Zanchen of the Bermuda Hospital said that the name and fingerprints on the death certificate were indeed the same as those of the rescued Kean. He said: Don't ask me why I was able to come back to life. This question needs to be answered by someone smarter than me. According to the data, Keane immigrated to Bermuda in 1918, suffered from cancer in 1923, and requested a sea burial after his death.On March 24, 1926, his wife carried out his wishes, wrapped him in a canvas bag, and threw him into the sea south of Bermuda. You have just finished reading my story titled "The Wrong Hand". Of course, you must remember that the shipping giant Hassan picked up a large box that looked like a meat freezer from the sea near Bermuda. Open it, and a person walked out of it, who turned out to be an important figure from the Shanghai Small Knife Society of China a hundred years ago!

If that news had been released three months earlier, everyone would have thought that the story of "The Wrong Hand" was inspired by that news, because there are indeed many similarities between the two. But of course it is completely different. The situation of the leader of the Knife Club in the story of "Wrong Hand" is much more complicated. The sea near Bermuda is known as the mysterious sea or the devil's sea. Many strange things have happened there, and every strange thing can be turned into a story. Well, let’s not talk about the resurrected one, let’s talk about Hassan, Boss Bai, Bai Su, the Gobi Desert and me. When I remembered that Liu Gensheng, the leader of the Small Sword Society, was an extremely important person, and he couldn’t be allowed to disappear again. , and chased him out, but he was nowhere to be seen.Someone in the factory said that he was seen walking out of the factory, and I chased him all the way to the gate of the factory. The security of this factory is very strict, and it is not easy to get in and out.

But since I brought him here when he came, the door guard didn't stop him when he left! Once out of the factory, the roads lead in all directions. Who knows where he went? I was stunned for a while at the gate of the factory, and I felt even more uncomfortable when I thought that this extremely mysterious figure might never appear again.Over the years, no matter how difficult the process of mysterious things has been, there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed and the truth will be revealed.And now, if this guy Liu Gensheng never appears again, then what happened to him will always remain a mystery!

Although he left behind the extremely weird container, he took away the source of power when we were unprepared. A state-of-the-art tank. If there is no fuel for power, it will be Just a pile of scrap metal. There may be tens of thousands of functions on the container, but without power, it is just waste. As I was thinking about it, I went back to the factory building and heard that old friends Hasan and Boss Bai were arguing again, still speaking in Shanghai dialect.On the other side, the Gobi Desert was next to the container, and they were studying and discussing. I was very interested in what they were discussing, so I ignored the quarrel between Hasan and Boss Bai, and I also came to the side of the container.

There is no way of knowing the source of the power taken away by Liu Gensheng. It is very likely that the small device is a new energy source that people on earth do not know how to use.The question is, the original energy has been taken away, can it be replaced by others? As long as alternative sources of energy are found, many of the functions of this strange container can be played. Liu Gensheng said that this container can perform many functions, which is unimaginable. At least one of the functions has been known, which is to turn people into billions of molecules, and then restore Hasan. Because this change occurred in a resting state , so he has no feeling at all about the incarnation of billions, but if a person is in a waking state, what kind of feeling does it feel?

You have to experience it yourself to know! This point alone is enough to make one's heart itch. Knowing that it is extremely dangerous, one has to give it a try. As Boss Bai said: If there is no adventurous spirit, how can human beings progress? It is not difficult to replace energy. When gasoline is scarce, alcohol and even charcoal have been used as substitutes, which can also make cars run. Gobi's suggestion was very good, he shouted: "Two old men, please listen to me to say a word." Hasan and Boss Bai glared at him and then stopped talking, which surprised Gobi, so he immediately seized the opportunity to speak: I think that if we want to continue to study this container, there will be no other factory in the world like this more appropriate place.

Hasan's face is ugly: what do you mean?This thing is mine. Desert hurriedly explained: No one wants your stuff, just put it here for research. Hasan obviously disagreed, but before he opened his mouth, Boss Bai said bluntly: Forget it, studying that strange container is their specialty, and you and I have other things to do. When I just came in, I saw that Boss Bai and Hasan were arguing, but I didn't pay attention to the content of their quarrel. Only when Boss Bai said this did I know that he had another plan of action, so I looked over at them. Yang Shou: This Liu Gensheng, since he was a prominent figure in the Small Knife Club back then, there are always some records left. Let's check historical documents and check all the information about the Small Knife Club, and we can always find some clues.

Hasan agrees with Boss Bai's plan very much: this is called General Dou Tu's method, and he hopes to find out the ins and outs of this man. I heard them say this, and couldn't help but want to make a sound, but Bai Su had bumped me lightly with her elbow, of course she knew what I was going to say. What I want to say is that there are not many materials left by the Xiaodao Society, and so many years have passed, I am afraid that trying to find Liu Gensheng in the files will be in vain!Bai Su didn't let me speak out, naturally there was her reason, the two old people rarely agreed and were very happy, so let them go to work, why bother to spoil their happiness?

So I immediately changed my words: As soon as Liu Gensheng came out of the container, he said that he had something important to do. When I saw him, he seemed to have been to Shanghai once, and I don't know what he was going to do in Shanghai. Both Ha Shan and Boss Bai were interested, Ha Shan said: In the heyday of the Small Knife Society, the base was in Shanghai, and he went back to Shanghai to find his roots. Boss Bai frowned: It's been a hundred years, what else is there to look for?The person at that time is still alive now, I am afraid that he is the only one. At that time, you and I were not born, and now you and I have become old demons. Hasan narrowed his eyes: It's hard to say, anyway, you and I decided to go to Shanghai to collect information, and it's good to check his behavior in Shanghai by the way. The Gobi Desert said in amazement: He is a person from more than a hundred years ago. Where did he get the travel documents? How can he come as soon as he wants and go as soon as he wants? Boss Bai glanced at him, seeming to be disdainful to answer. I was afraid they would be embarrassed, so I said, "Liu Gensheng must have had a great adventure, so we can't treat him like an ordinary person." The Gobi Desert still couldn't help shaking its head, feeling that things were incredible.Boss Bai and Hasan came to the container again, looked at it for a while, and said to Bai Lao: I feel like I fell asleep, how do you look? Bai Su said: It's like a deep sleep. Boss Bai felt pity: If Liu Gensheng came later, I might turn into billions, what would that feel like? Hassan waved his hand: I don't feel anything, I don't even know that such a thing happened. Boss Bai looked towards the Gobi Desert, and the two hurriedly said: We are going to find other energy sources to replace them, hoping to achieve results. Boss Bai nodded: Let us know as soon as you have any clues. When he said this, he pointed to me and Bai Su.The Gobi Desert didn't agree.Although Hasan's expression is not very willing, but he is very excited at the thought of revisiting the old place with his childhood friends. This thing is put in the factory for research, and it becomes a trivial matter. At that moment, the four of us bid farewell to the factory and went to the villa in Hasan. Along the way, the two old men talked about the anecdotes and life in Shanghai.Boss Bai used to be the leader of the seven gangs and eight associations, so he naturally knew the gang's activities like the back of his hand. He said: The Little Knife Society used to do pirate activities, but suddenly rose in Shanghai, almost without any process, and its power is so large that it can almost oppose the officers and soldiers and openly rebel.Later, it suddenly failed again, and even the scum was gone. The process was very mysterious, and I wanted to study it for a long time. This time, I can take this opportunity to fulfill this wish.Alas, when I get older, I have to do things by chance, which one I do is which. If I want to do everything, how can I have such a long life! He suddenly became sad, and Bai Su and I naturally didn't dare to talk to each other, and Hasan sighed for a moment. After living in Hassan Villa for two days, the two old people still disagree.Hassan wanted to go there with great fanfare, the reason being: in that place, it was very important to be able to enjoy privileges.If he, as a world-renowned shipping industry tycoon, takes that ship, sails into Wusongkou, and parks the ship on the Bund, the natural scenery will be so great that he can do whatever he wants.But Boss Bai was in favor of private visits on Weifu, the reason being that both of them are so old that they have absolutely no time to do boring things, and go in quietly to do business, time is precious and should not be wasted. They kept arguing, and I said to Bai Su: No matter what they do, this matter has finally come to an end.us Bai Su stretched her waist: We should go back! I gave her a gentle hug.We came back the next day. As soon as Wen Baoyu knew we were coming back, he and Hu Hua came to the door. He yelled: What's the situation?After I heard it, I had to call Liangchen Meijing in Switzerland immediately, and they were waiting to hear the answer. As soon as I told what happened, Wen Baoyu paused: The leader of the Small Sword Society should not have been let go. I smiled wryly: Who doesn't know?But he moved quickly, and was extremely chaotic at the time, and he disappeared all of a sudden. Wen Baoyu tilted his head: If he could come and go freely in time and space without the help of the device in the container, then he would not be found. What Wen Baoyu said touched my heart. Liu Gensheng may not be able to move freely in time and space without relying on devices, but so what?The world is so big, it is not easy to find someone. At this time, Wen Baoyu took out a page clipping, which contained the news that was introduced at the beginning, and he said: The sea area picked up by the container is a bit strange, you can send people to explore there. Don't look at Wen Baoyu's random thoughts sometimes, but sometimes his proposals are also very good.Anyway, Hasan had plenty of boats under his command, so he sent a few out to search the sea area where the strange container was found day and night, maybe they would find something.Thinking of this, I immediately called Hasan's villa, but the housekeeper replied: The master and Mr. Bai left eight hours ago. I took a breath, and they had already left. It seemed that Boss Bai's opinion had the upper hand. They made a private visit without any fanfare.I don't have any hopes for their trip to Shanghai. I estimate that they will return in a few days, and it will not be too late to propose to Hassan to search at sea. However, Wen Baoyu was very interested in the Small Knife Society, and shouted: Shanghai, a big city, was actually occupied by a gang. It's really strange and strange. Why didn't I know that there was a gang called the Small Knife Society? He was a little carried away when he said this, and I said coldly: There are too many things you don't know, why is it just a small swordsmanship! Wen Baoyu was also very sensible, he knew what I said, it was irrefutable, so he immediately changed the subject: As soon as Liu Gensheng came out, he immediately went back to Shanghai I waved my hand and didn't want to discuss with him anymore, so I said: I'm not sure if he has really been to Shanghai, but I only speculate that it is very possible, this guy is very hateful, and he refuses to say anything.From his expression, I can see that he doesn't seem to have achieved his goal. This kind of discussion ends here, okay? I thought that Wen Baoyu and Hu Hua would definitely agree with each other, but who knew that even Hu Hua, who had never liked talking, shouted with Wen Baoyu: Of course not! I snorted and stared at them, Wen Baoyu raised his hand: There has never been a Wesley story without a beginning and an end. I thought about it for a while, and it was indeed the case, but once Liu Gensheng left and he couldn't be found, the matter would not progress.Even if I found him, he wouldn't say anything, and there was nothing I could do. I couldn't think of any way to make him confide in the secret. I don't think that Hassan and Bai Laoda will gain anything by going to Shanghai, and I don't believe that the Gobi Desert can find a substitute for power. There was no one way to go through the whole thing, which made me feel very disgusted, so I had the idea of ​​giving up for the first time. I sneered and said: How about making this an exception? Hu Shuo and Wen Baoyu looked at each other and shook their heads. Wen Baoyu even deliberately angered me: If you want to give up, let's discuss it with Dr. Yuan Zhenxia, ​​he must be interested in pursuing it. At this time, Bai Su interjected softly: Not every story has to have a clear ending. Wen Baoyu said in a deep voice: There must be good stories. Bai Su smiled and said: "Is the story of "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain" not good?Miao Renfeng, the golden-faced Buddha Miao Renfeng, who is invincible all over the world, competes with Hu Fei the flying fox. Whether Hu Fei's knife will be cut off in the end is an eternal mystery. Xiaobao rolled his eyes: I remember an expert in gold science said that this was a cunning trick by the author, and the story was still incomplete. Nonsense suddenly had a whim, and waved his hands, asking everyone to pay attention to what he said: If during the contest, there is a sudden force that makes time freeze, or at that specific time, time loses its effect, Everything became static, and this situation happened just before Hu Fei's knife was about to be cut, so what would happen? Wen Baoyu has a natural ability to adapt to all kinds of weird hypotheses. I will feel sorry for the complicated nonsense. Xiaobao clapped his hands and said: Good idea, if this is the case, then as long as this situation Change, Hu Fei's knife will never be cut down, not because he doesn't want to cut it, but because he can't move it if he wants to cut it. I snorted: Under such circumstances, do people still have thoughts? Wen Baoyu shivered suddenly wittily, with a horrified expression on his face: If a person still has thoughts in such a situation, it would be terrible. If he has been frozen there for eight hundred years and cannot move, that would be much more terrifying than death ! Xiaobao's words were exaggerated and his expression was full. I reprimanded: If there is such a situation, of course his thoughts will be still and he will not know anything. Wen Baoyu looked at me. Although he didn't speak, he obviously asked: Why are you so sure? His expression was very hateful. I blurted out: In that container, Hassan was in a state of rest and was broken down into molecules, but he didn't know it at all. When I was talking, I just gave an example at random, and this example was taken hastily, which is a bit specious.But as soon as the words were spoken, the four of us, at the same time, let out a low voice, and we thought of a very important point at the same time. Nonsense just assumed a situation where time suddenly disappears. Time itself is invisible and intangible, and it is very abstract. It seems that there is no need for an adjective like disappearing, but since time is an existing phenomenon, it can naturally be disappear. Or, in this case, time no longer exists, time stops, time no longer operates, which means the same thing. Here, another very contradictory situation arises, because people don't know what that situation is like. In that situation, everything is static, and it is just an imagination. But what if, in this situation, everything is still, not within the specific space of the situation, and time is still going on? Hasan, me, and Boss Bai all entered that container, and were in a static state in that container. After pressing those buttons, time disappeared in that container, thus causing nonsense The particular circumstances assumed? What the four of us thought at the same time was: if not 100% fit this hypothesis, at least it is a similar situation. In that case, it doesn't matter how long you are in the container, because in that container, there is no time, it is an environment without time! Then, Liu Gensheng is an ancient man a hundred years ago, so it is very easy to accept. If he has been in this container, or has been in the container for many years, time will have no effect on him. Inadvertently, there is such a hypothesis, and this hypothesis is related to Liu Gensheng's mystery, which makes us very excited. Wen Baoyu waved his hand: The leader of the Small Knife Society may have obtained that container a hundred years ago, relying on that container, he has lived for so long, and that container is the treasure of longevity. Nonsense rebuttal: It's not precious at all. Think about it, time doesn't exist, and people are in a static state. How is that different from being dead? Wen Baoyu said: "Of course it's very different. He won't wake up when he dies. He can pre-check the time of waking up at any time; moreover, the container doesn't know how many other functions it has, alas!"well!well! When he said this, he sighed three times in succession, with an itchy expression on his face, stayed for a while, and then added: That thing is more fun than Chen Changqing's house, much more fun. I snorted: one must be content. Xiaobao paced back and forth: If only the Gobi Desert could find an alternative power source, that would be great. I sneered a few times, showing no attitude.The whole thing, with such a hypothesis, is certainly exciting, but it is of no use to the progress of the whole thing.Putting people in a state of stillness and time disappearing (assumed) is just one of the functions of the container.Another known effect is that it can decompose human beings into billions of molecules. What kind of effect is that?What power? These two functions alone cannot make a complete assumption. If many functions are added, it will be even more complicated. No matter how good a scientist is on the earth, before this container, I am afraid that it is like a caveman before a large computer. Can't understand at all. Wen Baoyu suddenly slapped his thigh again: This thing is in our hands, if we can't study a trick, we will be in vain. I glared at him, from now on, you don't do anything, just research, even if your hair turns gray, you still won't be able to research anything. Wen Baoyu accepted this sentence very much, maybe he was lazy by nature and didn't want to spend time researching it at all, so he said again: "It would be great if we could find out the leader of that small knife society." When he said such nonsense, I didn't even bother to pay attention to him, but I also thought of a problem: Liu Gensheng's long life and many abilities all depended on the various devices in this container. He is an ordinary person who knows martial arts, but he left in such a hurry, he just removed the power unit, did he have some important matters that he had to rush to deal with? It seems that things are getting more and more confusing, and an acceptable assumption is made, and then there are many more problems. I didn’t pay attention to what Wen Baoyu discussed and published with Hu Shuo. I only heard him say loudly at the end: I guess Liu Gensheng must have gone to Shanghai again. His old lair is in Shanghai. Of course, it is also in Shanghai. After a while, he said again: It would be great if Hasan and Mr. Bai happened to meet him in Shanghai. I said coldly: Shanghai has a population of over 10 million. Wen Baoyu said: Both of them went for the same purpose, so there is a great chance of encountering each other. This kid, this sentence makes a lot of sense.Hasan and Boss Bai went to find the materials of the Small Knife Society. If Liu Gensheng also wanted to find the documents from that year, the possibility of encountering them in the library or archives would naturally increase greatly. There are also some old buildings in Shanghai, which are related to the activities of the Small Knife Society and are listed as historic sites. If they all go to see them, they will naturally have the opportunity to meet each other. Wen Baoyu saw a sentence that made me nod secretly, and I was even more proud: Is the power device heavy or not?I don't think he will travel around with it, maybe he just buried it near the factory When he said this, he danced and danced with great joy: Ask the Gobi Desert to send a few detection vehicles out, it may be very rewarding! I also agree with Wen Baoyu's idea, so I was secretly surprised. Liu Gensheng must have removed the power device in order to avoid someone pressing the button indiscriminately. He had repeatedly warned that it would cause trouble. In the hands of Wen Baoyu and the others, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the world! But I can't think of any way to stop him from notifying the Gobi desert that Wen Baoyu and Boss Bai have many similarities. When they do something, they don't think much about the consequences. This is also the reason for speculation. Looking at Wen Baoyu's situation at this time, it seems that he has found the power unit that Liu Gensheng took away, so I don't bother to talk to him. At this point in the discussion of the matter, it is difficult to make any further development. Wen Baoyu made many wild assumptions, but among the three of us, none of them nodded to his statement. He felt a little discouraged. After a moment of silence, he became happy again That's the lovely thing about his character, never letting frustration take up too much time. He gesticulated and said: At least we can assume that in that container, an environment in which time stops can be created!So that people's life can be carried out in stages! Here, Wen Baoyu created a new term: the segmented progress of life. The term he coined is also very vivid, and it can explain this strange phenomenon in detail.Take Liu Gensheng as an example, if a hundred years ago, when he was twenty years old, he had a strange experience and entered the container, time would have stopped for him, and twenty years had passed outside, He came out of the container, still twenty years old. Then, after he left the container, he lived under normal conditions for another two years, so he was twenty-two years old. He entered the vessel again, and was again in a time-stopped situation, while another twenty years passed outside By analogy, every twenty years, he leaves the container for two years, so a hundred years is only ten years to his life.Liu Gensheng looks like he is about 30 years old. His life is a segmented life. Naturally, his segmented life does not have to be twenty years, but can also be a whole segment of thirty years, ten years, or one hundred years. In short, when he was in that container, his life was in a state of suspension. This situation is extremely weird. After the four of us thought about this situation for a while, our respective expressions were quite strange. Moreover, we obviously thought of a very close situation at the same time, and the four of us spoke at the same time: That is like Bai Su stopped talking first, Hu Hua and I also stopped talking, and Wen Baoyu couldn't stop once he opened his mouth as usual, so let him continue the next words: It's like a 90-minute tape, every nine minutes, press the button Pause button, pause for 30 minutes, then play for another 9 minutes, and pause for another 30 minutes. Then, when the tape is finished, the broadcast time of the tape is still 90 minutes, but the time has passed 330 minutes! Nonsense's face was very pale, of course, because he thought of the great flexibility of this segmented life method: if it is true in theory, wouldn't a person's life be extended to I took a breath and added what he hadn't finished: it can be extended indefinitely, a thousand years, ten thousand years, fifty thousand years Nonsense, nonsense, his body trembled, and shivered wittily: the leader of the Small Sword Society came out of the container, which is not unusual, and it is also possible that Jiang Taigong, who only met King Wen at the age of eighty, came out of the container! There are so many ancient people who can say, why he chose this Mr. Jiang, I don’t know, of course, because everyone’s thoughts were very disordered at that time, and it didn’t have any special meaning to pick an ancient person at random. But the nonsense brought up Jiang Taigong, which aroused Wen Baoyu's association: Nezha is the best! Wen Baoyu is very fond of Nezha, a mythological figure, and often envies that he can cut the flesh back to his mother, cut the bones back to his father, end his flesh and blood, and be free from now on, no longer bound by the flesh born by his parents. In the words: Entering the advanced form of life, the soul-based life form, and abandoning the indiscriminate stinky skin! (There are so many traditional Chinese fairy tales with rich imagination, and the Nezha story is just one of them.) I was afraid that he would list his favorite ancients again, it would be endless, so I hurriedly said: Of course, Liu Gensheng has spanned a hundred years in this way. It was only then that Bai Su was able to express his opinion: Judging from the situation, Liu Gensheng had been in the environment where time stopped for quite a long time, during which time he might have had other adventures when he left the container. We looked at her, and Bai Su explained: the container has many functions. He once told Hasan that Hasan was too old and didn't have enough time to learn it. We can see that he spent a lot of time learning to use the container! Bai Su's hypothesis raised a new question: Where was the container at that time?From whom did he learn to use the function of this vessel?
