    Chapter 44

    Coincidence refers to a number of small-probability events that occur together.

    Logic does not consider probability.

    Yu Tang learned and applied it flexibly, closed "Teaching You to Understand Human Thinking in 10 Days" and shared his reading experience with the system: "For Pu Ying, the students who fainted today and the students who fainted a few days ago are two completely different cases.Students in independent incidents.”

    The system didn't dare to look at it, and held the camera tightly against the indescribable small snowflakes that filled the screen.

    Yu Tang: "As long as our setting complies with basic natural science and biological principles and is possible in the context of modern society, Pu Ying will accept it."

    The system bought a jailbroken excavator in advance.

    "..." Yu Tang: "I was not arrested."

    The system has received the notification of the host's coordinate change. It has already planned a route to escape from the imperial capital overnight. It tried its best to choose its words and flashed a small red light: "Host..."

    Yu Tang: "It's done."

    system:"?"

    The unconscious student fell in front of Pu Ying's car.

    In order to save time, as soon as he was hugged by Pu Ying, he quickly opened his eyes and woke up.

    The student leaned into Pu Ying's arms, exhausted his last bit of strength, took out the recording pen tremblingly, and without any explanation, forced it to the kind-hearted car owner.

    The student was dying and asked the kind-hearted car owner with difficulty to take this crucial recording pen and hand it over to the chief of the Special Investigation Section of the Ministry of Security as soon as possible.

    System: "...Pu Ying is the chief of the Special Investigation Section."

    Yu Tang nodded: "Yes."

    Yu Tang has seen a large number of related cases and knows this kind of plot very well: "In this kind of plot, if you just transfer items, this sentence can be said completely to the last word."

    If you are conveying a message or a warning, you can only say half of it and miss the most important part.

    If you want to tell others about the murderer, no matter how hard you try, you can only say the first syllable of the murderer's name before you die.

    "..."

    The system couldn't find any refutational loopholes, so with the red light flashing, the system worriedly typed the third "Caring for the Host's Mental Health Growth" report.

    The system bought a whole can of lollipops for Yu Tang and brought it back from the mall: "Then... Pu Ying agreed?"

    Yu Tang was very pleased: "He also bought me a sandwich, water and a ticket from the Imperial Capital back to Star City."

    The system has begun to learn to accept these unimportant plots that are pushed outside the main line. It no longer asks for details and calls up the train timetable: "What time is the ticket? I will generate an ID for the host that can take the train."

    "tomorrow morning."

    Yu Tang was facing the computer, concentrating on controlling the temporarily generated students to eat sandwiches: "It's too late today and I can't buy tickets. He invited me to spend the night with him tonight..."

    system:"??"

    "Teach him photography." Yu Tang knocked on the panel, "Pu Ying is not humanized enough yet."

    The system feels that the most humane person so far may be itself: "It is... the host."

    The system held the lollipop, hesitated for a while, and quietly asked Yu Tang: "Does the host know how to take pictures?"

    Yu Tang: "No."

    A few small snowflakes popped up on the system's screen.

    "I'm a poor and sick student now. If I could take pictures, I could make money by taking pictures like Luo Ran, and support my ten younger brothers and sisters by myself. I wouldn't live on the street, staring at his car."

    Yu Tang was very organized, typing on the keyboard quickly, manipulating the students' images to describe his life: "I have been working and studying, and I was only responsible for retouching pictures in the studio. I didn't have the chance to touch a camera. I finally saved up money to buy one, but I was forced toLivelihood, package and sell together with books..."

    In reality, Pu Ying took the camera and handed it to him.

    Yu Tang's hand paused for a moment.

    Pu Ying: "Here."

    Yu Tang looked at the camera that was returned, then suddenly raised his hand and pushed away the keyboard he was typing on.

    He pulled the microphone and turned on the sound simulation: "Why?"

    "You like it." Pu Ying said, "Because you like it, it's yours."

    Yu Tang didn't answer immediately.

    Yu Tang turned off the microphone and tapped the system in the sea of consciousness: "Is there a way to find out the final ending of the original work and Pu Ying's favorability towards Wen Er?"

    The system searched for a long time, and the mechanical voice was also a little confused: "Theoretically, it is possible...the host, but it cannot be found."

    Until the final volume, Pu Ying regained his lost feelings, and the favorability column was still in an unknown state that could not be viewed.

    "It is mentioned in the character setting that this part of Pu Ying was lost in the storm."

    The system said: "But there is no detailed explanation of where it was lost and whether it can be recovered..."

    Yu Tang: "On Luo Ran."

    The system was stunned.

    "The first time Luo Ran met Wen You, he triggered a love-at-first-sight level of favorability."

    Yu Tang said: "But this good impression is not his own, it comes from the peeling caused by the electronic storm. He accidentally inherited this part..."

    Six-year-old Pu Ying really likes Wen Er.

    In that electronic storm, childhood Pu Ying was divided into two.Because of his family's elite education, part of his nature that had been buried unknowingly was stripped out along with his love for Wen Er, and he became Luo Ran.

    Wen Er failed to realize this in time.

    Wen Er asked Pu Ying for the love he had promised in childhood. It took him a long time, but he finally found that Pu Ying really couldn't give it.

    After that, it took Wen Er a longer time to finally figure out where this love had been lost.

    But at that time, this love had already been completely destroyed by Wen Er himself.

    "That's why in Luo Ran's ending line, Wen You told Luo Ran that he wanted Luo Ran to change back to his previous appearance."

    The system understood: "But this directly catalyzed Luo Ran's death... He lost Luo Ran forever."

    System: "He had no choice but to go back to Pu Ying, but Pu Ying could never activate the perception of favorability again. The reason why Pu Ying agreed to be with Wen Er was because——"

    "Because of a very incredible logic."

    Yu Tang nodded: "Because Wen You likes him, he belongs to Wen You."

    Throughout his life, Pu Ying was trapped in this logic.

    The Pu family wanted him to repay his kindness and not allow him to be ungrateful.Wen Er wanted him to come back and stipulated what he should be like.

    This story must and can only end with the ending of "the protagonist CP lives together happily ever after".

    "Let's deduce it."

    Yu Tang said: "What is the development of the plot after the ending?"

    The system was running data, and after a moment, the picture jumped out from the light screen: "Pu Ying and Wen Er have lived together for ten years."

    For ten years, they lived a good life in the eyes of everyone, never quarreled, lived happily, and were the most exemplary spouses.

    Pu Ying's feelings are slowly recovering, and he is starting to become more and more like a real person.

    As a voluntary research subject of the General Scientific Research Institute, Pu Ying was able to complete all treatments on their tenth wedding anniversary, becoming the first survivor in the alliance to be "completely cured of the sequelae of the electronic storm."

    The elders of the two families were very happy and held a grand banquet for the two younger generations who had come through hard work.

    Pu Ying did not attend, he disappeared in the early morning of that day.

    His whereabouts are not difficult to find.

    According to the monitoring of electronic pulses, the location of the latest electronic storm was outside Pu Ying's bedroom window.

    In the surveillance video, Pu Ying sat on the bed in the bedroom, facing the gorgeous aurora all night long.

    He has lived according to Wen Er's request for ten years.On his bedside lies the exquisite dress for the banquet. In a few minutes, the housekeeper will deliver a nutritious breakfast prepared by Wen Er. After breakfast, he and Wen Er will go to the General Scientific Research Institute for a physical examination.

    According to research, people who have been caught in an electronic storm have a tendency to attract electronic storms again due to changes in their own pulse frequency.

    But it’s not hard to avoid at all.

    The electronic storm moves very slowly. As long as you notice it in time, even if you just lift your legs or move a little, you can escape from the phantom light that can swallow people.

    But Pu Ying sat there all night.

    He watched the gorgeous phantom light approaching slowly, and even stood up and put on his favorite set of private clothes - Wen You didn't like that set of clothes very much, and felt that it was not the style that Pu Ying in his heart would like. He alreadyHaven't worn it in a long time.

    He put on his favorite clothes and sat back on the bed.

    The housekeeper who came to deliver breakfast knocked on his bedroom door. The knocking changed from gentle to hesitant, then to urgent, and finally replaced by Wen Er's low roar as he slapped the door.

    Wen Er forcefully kicked open the locked door.

    He saw that Pu Ying was being swallowed by the electronic storm, and Pu Ying's body turned into inorganic gray. He tried his best to get rid of everyone's obstruction, rushed over, and tightly grabbed Pu Ying's wrist.

    Pu Ying did not resist him.

    Pu Ying is different from Luo Ran. Pu Ying will never resist him.

    Pu Ying believes that these are what he should do. After all, he owes everyone. He owes Luo Ran's family, the Pu family, and Wen You.

    After slowly recovering her feelings, Pu Ying would occasionally stand in front of the window and think about when she would be able to repay all of this.

    He didn't feel sad, just a little uncomfortable.

    He thought that he shouldn't have come out of the electronic storm, and now this light came to take him back.

    Pu Ying said "good morning" to Wen Er. He was swallowed up by the phantom light and disappeared quietly into Wen Er's hands.

    "It shouldn't be like this." Yu Tang turned on the microphone, "The logic is wrong."

    Pu Ying was slightly startled.

    He still held the camera and did not take back his hand. He looked at the student who had just swallowed two sandwiches in front of him: "What's wrong?"

    Yu Tang said: "Because you like it, it is yours. There is no such reason."

    Yu Tang: "The money is yours after you gave it to me."

    Pu Ying: "..."

    system:"……"

    "Host." The system flashed a small red light and reminded worriedly, "Human behavior is very complex and cannot be generalized. It needs to be looked at dialectically -"

    Yu Tang turned off the system's speaker: "I like your car, can you give it to me too?"

    Pu Ying frowned.

    He had not considered the relevant logical analogy, and now that the other party suddenly asked him, he didn't know what the correct answer was: "Not for the time being."

    "I had no place to stay for these three days, and the last money I had was spent on buying you a second sandwich."

    Pu Ying said: "I want to sleep in the car, so I can't do it for the time being."

    Yu Tang didn't give him a chance to avoid it: "Three days later, I still like your car."

    Pu Ying fell silent.

    Using the point of view in Wen'er's paper, he is like a machine that is input into many programs.These programs usually run independently without any problems.

    But now, there are basic logical contradictions between the two programs.

    Yu Tang: "I also like the third sandwich. Can the 24-hour convenience store that sells sandwiches give it to me directly?"

    "No." Pu Ying said, "Are you not full yet? I still have two buckets of instant noodles and a box of compressed biscuits."

    Pu Ying: "Overeating is harmful to the body. You can wait for half an hour. If you are still hungry, I will give you half of the instant noodles."

    "..." Yu Tang turned off the transmitter temporarily and turned back to ask the system: "When was the last time you spoke like this?"

    "Fresh out of the factory."

    The system is also very complex: "Our learning ability is very strong and we will comprehensively analyze and imitate humans. It will take about 2 months to pass the bionic human test."

    Judging from Pu Ying's condition after two years of recovery, he will probably fail at the first level of the bionic man test.

    Yu Tang was determined not to embarrass Pu Ying anymore, so he changed to a simpler and more crude method and turned on the transmitter again.

    Yu Tang asked: "I like sandwiches, but you can only get them if you pay for them, right?"

    Pu Ying nodded.

    Yu Tang: "I like your car, but you can only buy it if you give me money."

    Pu Ying pondered for a moment, nodded, and then said: "Within three days——"

    "I won't buy it." Yu Tang said, "How much are you worth?"

    Pu Ying was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this question and was momentarily stunned by the question.

    Yu Tang knocked in his mind: "System, system, cash in money."

    The system flashed a small red light quickly: "How much?"

    "Whatever." Yu Tang said, "Exchange the change as much as possible, a little older, don't look like you just robbed the bank..."

    The experience point made a loud noise.

    Across the light screen, Yu Tang manipulated the poor students, who were brave and honest, to take money out of their pockets.

    They were all steel coins and old banknotes. There were only a few pieces of them, and they were in a thick pile of colorful coins.

    Yu Tang scattered all the money in front of Pu Ying.

    "I don't want it." Pu Ying frowned, "I was just expelled by the family for three days. After three days, I will return to the family to report on my duties. As long as I resign from my position according to the family's requirements, I can go back."

    Pu Ying knew that the student in front of him was short of money and had ten younger brothers and sisters to support: "If you keep this money, it will be more important to you."

    Yu Tang manipulates poor students. He just emptied Wen You's family and didn't care: "Don't be afraid, I have money."

    Pu Ying was firmly held down by him, and he raised his gaze and looked at the photography student who was still dying before.

    "This money will buy you half a day...three hours, is two hours enough?"

    The student looked at him, his face was so young that it was a bit childish, his forehead hair was obscured, and his eyes could not be seen clearly: "I saw your photo on the merit wall of the Security Department... You are Pu Ying, you are special.Chief of the Investigation Section.”

    Pu Ying paused silently on his shoulders and supported his body with one hand.

    The student held him down and said, "I'll only buy you for two hours, Section Chief Pu."

    "Don't resign first, listen to the contents of the recorder."

    "After hearing it, you can decide whatever you want."

    "We won't see each other again, thank you for the water and sandwiches."

    Yu Tang held the microphone, and his voice was specially processed to speak through the students.

    He looked at Pu Ying through the light screen.

    Pu Ying's choice actually has nothing to do with him. If Pu Ying still decides to resign at this plot point, he still has other ways to overthrow Wen You and achieve the ending as originally planned.

    He just came here once in a while and wanted to give it a try.

    The Pu family has already notarized it. If Pu Ying wants to get back his inheritance rights, he still has to form a short-term spouse relationship with Wen Er.

    The union has entered a stable state, and the law has very liberal control over marriage, allowing the free formation and termination of spousal relationships at any time without strict requirements on dates.

    Yu Tang has experimented. The protagonist of the previous book, Gong, divorced and then got married within one day, which neither violated relevant laws nor violated the Chuan Bookstore's assessment of task completion.

    If Pu Ying can live up to her expectations, she can marry Wen Er in the morning, get her inheritance rights back in the morning, take Wen Er to the police station to surrender as her spouse at noon, get divorced in the afternoon, and run towards a new life of her own in the evening.

    Nothing is delayed.

    "Don't get close to the electronic storm again." Yu Tang warned in a low voice, "You have been swallowed once. If you are swallowed again, you will be completely assimilated by the electronic pulse and become part of the storm."

    Yu Tang: "There is still self-awareness, a part of the storm."

    Yu Tang: "You won't want this."

    Pu Ying's pupils shrank slightly, he raised his head and met the student's eyes.

    The students let go of their hold on him.

    The car door rang.

    It was dawn, and the fresh cool breeze mixed with the soft light came in. The student turned around, jumped out of the car, ran across the street corner, and melted into the morning mist.

    Yu Tang took back the temporarily born poor student and returned to the sea of consciousness.

    The sedative Wen Er injected into his body was still 79% effective.

    Yu Tang couldn't figure it out: "Does Wen You want to make me brain-dead first, and now switch to black magic alchemy to resurrect the Pu Ying he wants from my body?"

    system:"……"

    Yu Tang now had no shortage of experience points. He browsed through the mall and bought two stimulants.

    "Host." The system quickly stopped him, "We can directly modify the body data."

    "Wen You probably underestimated Luo Ran's physical condition."

    The system said: "He was too panicked and injected the host with a sedative according to the previous anesthetic dose, but he forgot that Luo Ran's body was now seriously on the verge of collapse and the dose should be adjusted accordingly."

    The situation was so chaotic that Wen You didn't have any extra thoughts to figure out how to adjust the dosage.

    He returned to the main research institute and finally restored the normal communication signal, but no matter how hard he tried, the Pu family never answered the communication request he dialed.

    It wasn't until this moment that Wen Er finally had the chance to look back and finally realize the abnormality of this video contact.

    Pu Sicun does value him very much, but the Pu family is different from the Luo family. All personal emotions and choices must be placed after the interests of the family as a whole.

    Including the treatment of Pu Ying.

    Pu Sicun's punishment to Pu Ying this time was too harsh, and it couldn't be just to appease him.If you just want to know about Pu Ying's current recovery situation, there is no need for Pu Sicun to call him personally.

    It must be more important to get the head of the Pu family to come forward.

    It was Luo Ran's abnormal display of weakness that made him so confident... He didn't even realize this.

    "Wen You is very upset. The host should be more careful."

    The system reminded: "Depending on his personality, when his mood fluctuates violently, he may have some - some out-of-control behavior."

    Yu Tang knew what he was doing: "Didn't you just grab my collar and throw me to the ground? I've seen it before."

    His physical data are controlled by the system. Although he is limited by his own physical fitness, he may not be able to beat Wen You with his own hands... But if Wen You gets too out of control, Yu Tang has also prepared his own way to fight back.

    For example, exchange for a warm meniscus.

    A temporary iron-bone stool leg was created, which shattered Director Wen's kneecap, forcing doctors to perform surgery to remove it.

    Or replace the warm appendix and temporarily cause acute perforated appendicitis.

    Or exchange for the warm bilateral femoral heads.

    "..." System: "That's not the case, host."

    Yu Tang was still thinking about the possibility of exchanging some of Wen Er's functions. He came to his senses and turned off the light screen in his head: "Isn't it?"

    "No." The system said, "Wen Er prefers mental destruction. He can get strong pleasure from it... He is ready to completely destroy Luo Ran."

    Yu Tang frowned.

    Yu Tang lowered the volume of the system and added a layer of shielding to Luo Ran's study room: "What is he going to do?"

    Before the system could reply, the door to the observation room had been opened.

    Wen Er walked in.

    He looked calmer than usual. He walked to the hospital bed where Luo Ran was lying quietly, and gently patted Luo Ran's pale cheek.

    He was very patient and waited until Luo Ran opened his eyes slightly in a daze.

    The powerful sedative had not worn off yet, and Luo Ran's vision was still a little blurry. He was barely aware of the person in front of him, and his eyelashes trembled slightly in fear.

    "Sit up." Wen Er gently touched Luo Ran's hair, "You know I don't like to see you lying down and doing nothing."

    He lowered his gaze, his movements and tone were gentle, but his words were so cold-blooded.

    Luo Ran had a particularly clear impression of his state.

    Only when everything gets out of control and falls into rage will Wen Er enter this seemingly completely opposite state.

    He would take care of Luo Ran tenderly and talk to Luo Ran. No one but Luo Ran could hear the content of those words.

    "Why don't you disappear into the electronic storm?"

    Wen You looked at Luo Ran softly: "Why do you want to come back? Why do you want to cause trouble for me?"

    Luo Ran's arms were trembling.

    He struggled to gather some strength and shivered to push himself up. His forehead hair fell down with the movement, covering his eyes.

    Wen Er stretched out his hand and clamped Luo Ran's jaw.

    "You made a mistake." Wen Er said, "Do you still remember our agreement? This kind of mistake...how are we going to punish you."

    Wen Er used force on his hand, forcing Luo Ran to look up: "Two of your parents' papers have wrong data, and I concealed them."

    Luo Ran was trembling. He was so weak that he broke out in cold sweats. He gritted his teeth and retorted in a low voice: "No... you tampered with the data."

    "My parents can't make mistakes." Luo Ran's voice was very low, "You intercepted their articles and manipulated them..."

    "Is there any difference?" Wen Er asked.

    Luo Ran seemed to be strangled by the throat.

    Wen Er touched Luo Ran's face and smiled almost sympathetically: "It's a mistake if it's wrong."

    "They didn't even notice it themselves. They neither made corrections nor contacted the journal for corrections. When repeated experiments fail... they will be nailed to the pillar of shame for falsifying data."

    Wen Er's voice was hoarse, with a hint of coldness: "It's because of you, Luo Ran."

    "You shouldn't have been in trouble."

    "Now you've got me into serious trouble and made me angry."

    "They will get into trouble, their reputations will be ruined, and their scientific research lives will end... all because you are disobedient."

    Yu Tang couldn't stand listening anymore and asked the system in his mind: "Does he look down on me?"

    The system held up lollipops and crispy noodles. It had been coaxing Yu Tang for ten minutes, and the screen was filled with small snowflakes: "Host, please bear with me a little longer."

    "We will drug him later." The system whispered, "Be patient, nothing will happen to Luo Ran's parents..."

    Yu Tang: "Why did something happen to Luo Ran's parents?"

    The system was stunned.

    Yu Tang took out the hallucinogen and turned around and left the sea of consciousness.

    In reality, Luo Ran's trembling suddenly stopped.

    Wen Er frowned.

    Luo Ran raised his hand, casually pushed away Wen Er's hand that was restraining him, pushed hard, and leaned back against the wall without any strength.

    His forehead hair was soaked with cold sweat and spread slightly as he moved, revealing his half-covered eyes.

    Wen Er's pupils suddenly shrank.

    "Pu Ying" leaned crookedly against the wall, his cold, devoid of warmth eyes reflecting his embarrassing figure.

    "That's all?" The person in front of him smiled, "It's boring..."

    Wen Er suddenly became furious: "Shut up!"

    He rushed over and grabbed Luo Ran's collar.

    This phantom that he didn't know was real or fake was almost driving him crazy.

    Wen Er couldn't understand why, if it was really his "Pu Ying", he would say such words again and again, and why he always seemed to be dismissive of him, as if he was just some ridiculous clown.

    Wen Er couldn't control his emotions anymore and asked sternly: "Why do you look down on me? Who do you think you are? Without me, you wouldn't even"

    "Pu Ying" raised the corners of his mouth and looked away.

    There was a sharp buzzing in Wen Er's head.

    He couldn't speak any more, his chest heaved violently, his eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed the cold figure tightly and lifted it up with all his strength.

    This is Luo Ran's body - he knows it better than anyone else.

    Luo Ran's body was completely destroyed, and he didn't even have the most basic resistance when he was picked up like this.His head was hanging down, his breathing was shallow and fast, his body was so cold that his hands were cold, and his heartbeat was so weak that even his carotid artery could not be felt clearly.

    With just a little move of his hand, he could strangle Luo Ran's neck.

    "You tampered with Luo Ran's parents' paper, which was the S-level journal four months ago."

    Luo Ran's body slumped in his hands, but his voice remained calm and steady, as if emerging from his chest: "Really?"

    Wen Er's pupils narrowed slightly.

    Four months ago...Luo Ran had the personality of "Pu Ying"?

    "Pu Ying" has been watching him do these things?I have been watching him use shady means to imprison Luo Ran, watching him destroy Luo Ran's defenses, watching him being burned by desire into a devil——

    "Just watching?"

    The man's voice suddenly revealed a faint and unemotional smile: "Wen You, I have said before that everything you have is given to you by me."

    Wen Er was suddenly nailed to the ground by this slow judgment.

    A strong, uncontrollable fear suddenly appeared in his eyes. He almost wanted to throw away this body, but it seemed that he suddenly lost all the strength to move.

    "I reviewed Luo Ran's parents' thesis in advance and submitted the original version that has not been tampered with."

    The man said: "You never stopped me from entering your study, because you know that Luo Ran can't understand those things."

    "...it's you."

    "Why can't you learn smarter? You shouldn't have made me angry."

    "You also know that once the basic data is tampered with, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame because of data fraud, and your scientific research life will end."

    "I didn't want to do this, Wen Er, but you are too boring."

    Warmth and chills throughout the body.

    He could hardly help but rush back and dig out the journal to read the articles he had published.

    Luo Ran couldn't understand these things, he was sure of it.

    But if the original Pu Ying's personality awakened early in Luo Ran's body, and even entered his study and read through his papers at will...

    "Pu Ying" raised his head.

    His strength was already very weak, and Wen You was holding him by the collar, so he could barely hold himself up from falling.

    "Don't worry, I didn't tamper with the data in your paper. This method is too low-level and too easy to be discovered."

    He tilted his head slightly and looked at Wen Er.

    His face was as white as snow, but there was still a slight cold smile in his eyes.

    "I don't have to tamper with your data."

    "Wen You, you have thought so carefully, why haven't you thought of..."

    "The basic data you got were originally given to you by me?"

    The author has something to say: "Yu Tang Work Notes"

    He dared to look down on me.
