Towards noon, the experts who came to participate in the seminar began to get busy, but this busyness was not everywhere to see their hurried figures, on the contrary, most of them locked themselves in their rooms, seriously preparing their papers for the afternoon - in fact, when they were invited to participate, the papers were already prepared in advance, and the papers needed to be described in the papers were some of their achievements in the field of psychology in recent years, and these achievements have been recognized by the symposium. That's why invitations are being issued. The ideas and doubts to be expounded in the paper are nothing more than a new report for them to rewrite a report on something they are familiar with that they are no longer familiar with.

However, it is not surprising that these achievements are not recognized by the mainstream and published in mainstream academic journals, and naturally they are not famous. The participants did not know what research each other had done or what results they had achieved, and they did not even know each other at all, nor had they heard of each other, which was completely expected. No one is ashamed of this kind of thing, and the fact that this seminar is full of such people and some ambiguous gossip is enough to make people see the nature of this seminar.

Some people disdain to participate in this seminar, and even more so, they feel uneasy, but those who can withstand the pressure of suspicion and finally arrive here have their own ideas.

This is an opportunity. That's what the soothsayer told me.

There are few people who have not gone through formal education, who have not advanced their way up the professional field, who are self-taught just out of a hobby, who have made mistakes and suffered setbacks in this academic field, and who have finally gained a foothold in the mainstream. The so-called experts invited to the seminar. Basically, they have not been recognized by the mainstream. It is for this reason that they were invited to this symposium as a seminar that has a strong influence in the mainstream of the academic community, which can be regarded as a recognition in itself. This recognition is important for these experts, even if the ideas expressed in the seminar are only their own and do not represent the mainstream view.

Recognition, opportunity, money...... Attendees roughly wandered between the three. I can participate in the future topics of the seminar. It would be best if they were selected by a relevant research organization to become a serious scholar, step on the steps of fame, and gain wealth that matches their status, but even if they are not recognized by the relevant institutions of the symposium, they firmly believe that as long as their paper is good enough. will be able to make a name for yourself, and then there will be more institutions for you to choose from.

Such an idea, to me, sounds naïve. Not to mention their knowledge, the reason why they are not valued is because they are not good at self-management. A research topic needs multi-faceted support from the selection, publicity and implementation, if it cannot be provided by oneself. Well, be able to speak well. At the very least, you can show your strengths and make others believe that you will succeed in order to gain the support of others. On the other hand, he is obviously an expert in psychology, but because "his research is not used to make people dance with long sleeves". And there is no way to figure out the psychology of the other party, and you can't use the psychology of the other party, so you can't get the approval of others, isn't it a ridiculous situation?

In general, they are unable to apply their knowledge of psychology in conversation. And in all aspects of daily life, such "experts" are probably only seen as liars.

From my point of view, I felt a little unreliable to know that most of the experts who participated in this seminar were such figures. However, in my dealings with fitness trainers, soothsayers, and Mitsukasu, I'm also pretty certain that not everyone is on the cards. Even Mitsukasuka, who gives the impression of being vulnerable, occasionally embodies the essence of a psychology expert - it is like being covered in dust, and only occasionally emits a faint light, but it really shines.

Therefore, considering that the seminar does not need "everyone", but only selects the people they need from this group of "experts", it is not very important whether all the guests who are invited to come here have two clicks. The important thing is that there are really undiscovered, or dusty pearls hidden in them. And, from Dr. Nguyen Li's point of view, the most important thing about this group of people is that they have not been affected by Claudia White, they may not have been influenced by Claudia White, and they will continue to be influenced by Claudia White. No matter how talented the other party is, once there is a situation of being affected by Claudia White, you must think twice before deciding to use it.

But whatever the meaning of the seminar, the invited experts were very serious about coming up with a blockbuster idea. Regardless of the past, the important thing is the present, as if they had taken out the strength they had accumulated for a long time, staying in their rooms and preparing for the afternoon activities.

It was quiet inside and outside the villa, and the sound of insects chirping could be heard in the sun. I lay under the big tree in the front yard of the villa, without using a sleeping chair, on the turf, and the moisture in the air gradually evaporated by the heat of the sun, mixed with the smell of grass and trees, exuding a fresh and sweet smell. The light that shines through the leaves of the forest seems to be filtered out of the jerky parts, becoming warm and soft, and people can't help but release sleepiness.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, a car pulled up in front of the villa, and three people—two men and one woman, both in black suits—got out of the car, they looked familiar with the place, and I think they were seminarmen, but they didn't enter the villa, but stood idly outside the door. After a while, Dr. Ruan Li, who was also staying in his room to do research, opened the door and came out. The two sides knew each other and communicated for about ten minutes, and the woman in the black suit took the suitcase handed by Dr. Nguyen Li. I didn't bother to listen to what they were saying, but after a while, the black suit was looking at me frequently.

Seems to be talking about my business.

I started a chain judgment -- if Dr. Nguyen Li was to say that if I was either mentally filling up the content of the conversation, or it happened to be at this time at a distance and in the environment, I could hear the conversation, but she would have been more inclined to the former statement - but personally. The information brought by the chain decision is so realistic. My experience is really like the perception range has suddenly expanded to 50 meters, and ordinary people can also know the information of the surrounding 50 meters under the right circumstances. However, in terms of detail and depth, there should be a huge gap with the chain judgment.

In any case, it's hard for me to accept that if the Doomsday Illusion thing is fake, then the chain verdict must not be real at all.

Today, chain judgment and quick sweep, magic pattern and river, have all become the core elements that make up my life.

It is good to use chain decision listening, or to observe. In any case, it doesn't make me feel like anything special. Even, it is so natural that when using it, except for special circumstances and emotional suddenness, I basically don't think about whether I should use it or not, and I don't think about whether this practice should be done.

Because there is a need. So it was a natural thing to do.

“…… Sorry about the sample thing. I don't have the authority to intervene, we can report it to you if you really need to, but wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to do it yourself? The other side said so.

"I believe they themselves know the preciousness of this sample. I just want you to be private. Give it a push on the side. Of course, I need to explain the details of the situation personally, but I also believe that if you make a report in advance. Afterwards, the treatment can be a little gentler. It's good for both parties. Dr. Nguyen Le seems to know each other, and the other person seems to be a high-level executive who can influence some important decisions - a misnomer, but it feels like a woman who can blow the wind on her husband's pillow.

However, this identity was only felt when I saw her just now, and I couldn't feel it at all. Because of her physique, posture and position, she is full of feelings of weakness compared to the two men in the same company, just like the juniors who visit the teaching. Even if Dr. Nguyen Li was here to talk to her alone, it didn't make her feel much better. It's probably the feeling of "Miss Daughter who insists on not accepting the care of her family", but I can't see the appearance of "Miss Daughter", "Lover" and "Mrs." at all, just like an ordinary young woman who has just come out of society.

The two of them negotiated for a while, and the young woman in the black suit agreed to say a few words to her boss on behalf of Dr. Nguyen Li - it sounded like she was not her immediate boss, but was working across departments, so I could understand her dilemma. If it weren't for the fact that she really had some friendship with the other party, this kind of behavior would be taboo everywhere.

Although Dr. Ruan Li smiled and said a lot of good things, he did not feel reluctant to smile at all, but had an aggressive momentum, as if he completely overwhelmed the other party with his momentum, so even if he used a gentle attitude, he would not make the other party feel mild.

The two seemed to be talking about the "Paradise" sample. Because a lot of words that know each other are omitted, if you don't have enough information to make associations, you will probably feel confused about such a conversation. Those who know will know, and those who don't know, of course, will not specifically explain to him, such an act is naturally full of secrets, and it is completely in line with my understanding of the organization of the Doomsday Shinrikyo organization.

Beginning with the Mar Jones family, the Church of the Doomsday Shinrikyo has developed its own unique language and culture, and has no idea of being in line with the existing culture. This change can be seen as a manifestation of the rejection of the existing human society, and thus it seems to be full of secrets. In this world of repeaters, the epitome of the Doomsday Shinrikyo is also fully in line with the development of this trend.

I kind of hate it.

The three of them quickly left in the car, and Dr. Nguyen Li walked up to me and said, "Ah Chuan, give me a sample of Paradise." ”

During the mysterious incident at the rest point, Dr. Nguyen Li accidentally created a sample of the paradise, and there were only two bottles left, and everyone present at the time could realize the preciousness of this sample, but in the end I still stored it. When I handed one of the bottles to Dr. Nguyen Lê, she was frowning and thinking about something, and after a while, she looked up and said to me, "...... I'll take you to the asylum tonight, but I'm not going to live there. If I get into trouble after I leave, you can try drinking a bottle. ”

"Drink it?" I couldn't help but glance at the purple, cloudy liquid in my hand, which in any way did not compare to the crystal-clear finished product of the apocalyptic vision. I've taken Doomsday Fantasy's "Paradise", but I don't have any idea of the sample in my hand.

"It's only safe to drink it. This is true both for the safety of the drug and for your own safety. Dr. Nguyen Le said cautiously, "It was originally reformulated with your special medicine, although it looks different. But in fact, your body has long been accustomed to absorbing those ingredients in medicine. Therefore, as long as you drink it, the other party will not be able to take it away - even if you are dissected and beaten into soy milk, there is absolutely no way to refine it again. ”

"Sounds sinister." I said that, though. But the heart is very peaceful.

"I'm sorry, Achuan, but it's necessary." Dr. Nguyen Li's statement has no beginning or end, but the meaning is not difficult to understand. As I feel in my heart, I can now completely ignore this willfulness and riskiness. Dr. Nguyen Le should have also considered not bringing me to this dangerous place, but since she finally brought me here, then prove it. For her, there is a reason why she must come here even if she is adventurous. I believe in her, and I am willing to take on a risk and malice for her that she should not have to bear.

"No need to apologize, Mom." I looked at her calmly and said, "You know, I never needed you to apologize. ”

"Yes, I know." Dr. Nguyen Li hugged me hard and said, "I will definitely succeed." Luck is already on my side this time, otherwise. Samples don't come out of my hands at such a time. I know, Achuan you want to be a hero, I will make your dream come true, this is the agreement. ”

I gently patted her on the back, and then she pushed me away resolutely. Turn around and walk into the villa. The sample of paradise in her hand, shimmering in the sun, like a magazine in liquid, was washed by the bright sunlight at this moment. It dissolved and became one of the high-concentration psychedelic "paradises" I had ever seen. The shiny color, which seemed to suck people's souls into, reminded me of Shirai-san's face—the old, peeled, shriveled, rotten face, and the extraordinary athleticism that I had exchanged for this rapidly decaying life.

I took out a sample of my paradise, and I didn't know what it was like.

Dr. Nguyen Le researched Paradise with good intentions and lofty ideals. How many people will really try to save the world in their own way? I am the same as her in the idea of what to save, and the path we have taken, and the will we have upheld, we are all similar. I only wish she could create the paradise she wanted, not the terrible psychedelic drugs of Doomsday.

Because, I can't stop her.

And I want her at the same time.

"I'll drink it, Mom." I told myself this in the sound of the wind blowing.

In the afternoon, five battery tour buses were dispatched to pick up the experts in the villa area. In the morning, the experts were told to travel somewhere else in such a vehicle. However, even though it was "somewhere else", there were also people among the people who had already gone to the scene to investigate, and the first-hand information they got became well-known before they knew it. The meeting room was located a twenty-minute drive from the villa area, and when Mitsui Tsukao described it to me, it was more like a scientific research station hidden in nature, with a total of five wooden buildings, but the overall style was quite heavy, and at a glance it was clear that the use of such materials was not limited by funds.

Halfway through the forest road, I could see a sign on the side of the bushes, which read "Wild Ecological Nature Reserve" in crimson, but the fitness instructor on the side told me in a joking tone: half of the woods here are actually artificially planted. However, from the perspective of the man-made environment, the similarity with the natural environment also surprised her. There must be very powerful environmental and ecological experts who maintain this land, but it is always a bit strange to set up such a sign in the eyes of those who know the inside story, and it is also a bit surprising that a psychology seminar meeting can start in such a place.

When accepting the invitation to the seminar, the organizers announced that it would be held in a small local town with historical heritage, but in fact, almost all of the itinerary was changed in the middle of the process, and in terms of tourism, it would definitely be a lot of money.

As things stand, it seems that the workshop participants borrowed the workplace of the local ecological conservation association, which seems to have some leverage in the hands of the workshop. The developer of the villa may have used the same handle to obtain the development rights of this place, avoiding the protests of some well-intentioned people.

These are digressions, though. On the way to the conference room, there were no accidents, but when we arrived at our destination, we found that we were not the only ones in the co-grouping area. There are some people who look like tourists, who are gathering in small groups in twos and threes, and although it is surprising, there is no rule that no one else is allowed to come to this place. And, strictly speaking, although we are the only ones living in the villa area, we have not chartered the entire peninsula for tourism, and it seems that both seminars and developers are also operating tourism businesses at the same time. "This place is just us" was nothing more than a delusion the night before.

If you think about it this way, I wouldn't be too surprised that so many people suddenly appeared in front of me.

The other party also seems to have become accustomed to the situation of organized people coming in a queue, and when the five battery cars were parked on the side of the road, these people who looked like tourists only glanced at us a few times. As I looked at them, I wondered if it was possible that these people were hiding the intruders of the Doomsday Vision, or that they were.

"What about Ms. Nguyen?" The soothsayer asked me suddenly.

"She suddenly had some private research." I said vaguely, "Also, I don't think it's necessary for her to come here to give a thesis presentation." ”

The soothsayer smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, she should be reviewing the papers." ”

"I'm suddenly in a hurry." Mitsukasuo whispered, it looked like he was talking to himself, but we could understand what he meant - the man was so nervous that he was about to pee.

There are toilets here, of course.

However, the balding middle-aged man of the seminar—the person we were in charge of the workshop journey—organized everyone together and walked into the building, which looked the largest on the side. There are five buildings in total, but the largest one is not the core in terms of location. There is a complete asymmetry between the buildings, as if they were built at random, and they can be built wherever they want.

I'm not particularly fond of symmetrical structures, but I don't appreciate them at all. I think it's going to be irritating. Sure enough, when they looked at the others, several of them showed dissatisfied expressions. Their expressions were so depressed that they seemed to be contagious, and they quieted the team at once, but the leader of the team led us into a building that was not very comfortable at first glance, as if he couldn't feel the change in atmosphere at all.

"Uncomfortable? I think it's good. Mitsukasu said to me that in his mouth before, the architecture here had a "thick dà" beauty, and now I feel like we are people from different planets.

Well, a lot of people are from different planets than him.

Although the appearance is uncomfortable, after entering the building, it is really the same as what Mitsui Tsukao said, and there is a little bit of "thick and original ecology". The texture of the wood seems to have not been processed, revealing the original color, but when you touch it with your hands, you will notice that its surface is as smooth as marble, and it is very cold and hard, and does not have the looseness of zài wood. All in all, it doesn't look like it's made of wood at all, but the bald middle-aged person in charge said: "It's just a layer of special paint, which can retain the original texture of the material while bringing another unique touch, so as to form a strong contrast and highlight the characteristics of both sides." ”

Whether it's true or not, I feel like he's forcing an explanation. (To be continued......)
