From the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the night view of the Lingjiang River. Cruise ships are swaying on the river. People are coming and going on the pedestrian path along the river. Various shops are dazzling, attracting pedestrians to stop.
Tomorrow is the first day of the college entrance examination, and there are some college entrance examination-related banners on the road, but this was several years ago for Lu Tuan.
This barbecue restaurant is more famous for its butter-aged steaks. The so-called aging is a method of storing fresh meat to make it more flavorful. In terms of techniques, it is somewhat similar to the method of making ham.
similar.
However, Lu Tan actually didn't think the cooked meat was very delicious. Instead, he thought it was a waste to cut off so much meat.
He is a simple man, and not caring about costs does not mean that he spends money recklessly.
But after all, this is the store chosen by Qin Tiantian, so it should be more expensive.
After ordering the food and waiting for the chef to prepare it, Lu Tan glanced at Feng Yu who was sitting opposite.
"Why did you think of coming here today?"
Hearing this, Feng Yu blinked his eyes and said a little funny.
"Of course it's because of you."
"?"
Qin Tiantian looked at Lu Tan, then at Feng Yu, and secretly took a sip of the tea in the cup.
"Have you forgotten that today is your birthday?"
Feng Yu asked.
"Is today my birthday?"
Lu Tiao was also surprised.
"So you were born on June 6th?"
Qin Tiantian was also surprised.
"No, why are you surprised."
She looked at Lu Tan again.
"Normally I don't pay attention to these things, not even last year."
This time last year, Lu Jian was still a little transparent person running around for a living. In just one year, he has become one of the directors with the highest box office in China. It can only be said that the process of history is sometimes far more important than personal struggle.
important.
"Then it's even more appropriate to treat us today."
Qin Tiantian picked up the menu and decided to order some more.
"Shouldn't it be you who invite me to eat?"
Lu Tiao asked back.
"Tsk, what a petty man."
Qin Tiantian put down the menu and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, she had already ordered a lot and probably wouldn't be able to finish it all.
"I heard that your movie is going to be screened overseas?"
Feng Yu did not join in the banter between the two and asked again.
"Yes, I think it is necessary to open up the international market and become bigger and stronger now."
Lu Tan answered decisively.
"Quite ambitious."
Feng Yu laughed. At this time, the waiter brought the appetizers and the three of them officially started eating.
We chatted and ate at the same time. By the time we finished, it was already ten o'clock.
After leaving the sleepy Qin Tiantian home, Lu Tan and Feng Yu took a walk in the community.
"Looks like you've found a way to resist contamination?"
Feng Yu was walking in front, and a few stars could be glimpsed in the early summer sky. If it were anyone else, he might try to identify which constellation they belonged to, but in Lu Jian's view, the stars in the sky might all be enemies.
"Yes, if you want to fight against the pollution of a foreign land, you must first enter the pollution yourself. This is what I am doing now."
Lu Tun nodded.
"You have discovered one of the basic rules of this world."
Feng Yu said in a tone like praising a student who answered a math problem correctly.
"All knowledge in this world is accompanied by pollution, and the same goes for this planet. The more humans explore knowledge and understand the world, the greater the impact of pollution on all mankind. You see, millions of years ago, nothing more than insects lived on this planet.
The humans in the cave can now destroy themselves effortlessly."
"Are you talking about nuclear war?"
Lu Tan understood Feng Yu's description somewhat.
Originally, humans were just living things like other animals, and the limit of what an individual could do was to influence a few miles around. However, with the evolution of humans and the accumulation of knowledge, the scope of influence that humans can have is getting wider and wider, and they can
The impact on oneself and those around them is also becoming more and more serious.
This is the same pattern as pollution.
However, the pollution caused by such knowledge is very slight, and due to the long time span, the consequences are also smaller, far less than directly taking a look at those indescribable creatures in a foreign land.
In fact, if primitive people suddenly saw today's cars and mobile phones, they might be too frightened, worship them as gods, and lose their rationality.
"Yes, if you want to become stronger in a foreign land, you need more knowledge. The more knowledge you gain, the more pollution you will suffer. The crazier the person, the more powerful you are. The gods you see are absolutely
Most of them are people who have already fallen into madness, and a few are on the verge of madness."
I don't know if it was Lu Tan's illusion, but he heard some self-deprecation in Feng Yu's tone.
"Is there a way to avoid madness and become stronger?"
Lu Tiao couldn't help but be curious.
"For now, no."
Feng Yu shook his head.
"It's just that when the pollution spreads and those crazy knowledge become common sense in the foreign land, the overall intensity of the foreign land will increase, just like what you have seen."
This is also easy to understand. A primitive person may faint from fear when he sees a mobile phone. But given time and given him a certain amount of time to learn, he can also learn to use a mobile phone. By that time, mobile phones will become common sense to primitive people. Mobile phones
The appearance will not frighten him, but his perception will be forever changed.
"Has the Quiet Land been trying to make the pollution of foreign lands deepen within a controllable range?"
Lu Tan asked again, what he was doing now, from another perspective, was gradually polluting the world, and this was obviously what the Quiet Place was happy to see.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Jian temporarily believed that the Quiet Place belonged to a friend, or at least, not an enemy.
"In your perception, this is indeed the case, but in fact, the deeper reason is not the case."
Feng Yu stopped and looked back at Lu Tan.
"What's the reason?"
Lu Tan couldn't help but ask. After a pause, he raised his hand again.
"Does this reason also contain a certain amount of pollution?"
In a quiet place, knowledge represents pollution. If it is passive contact with knowledge, the effect of pollution will be deepened, resulting in a decrease in sanity and corresponding physical alienation. If it is knowledge obtained through one's own exploration, the effect of pollution will be relatively shallow.
, the impact on the body is also smaller.
These are all Lu Jian’s personal experiences.
So to a certain extent, there is indeed talk in A Quiet Place.
As long as you have acquired a certain amount of deeply polluted knowledge through your own exploration, you can speak out this knowledge directly when facing the enemy. Those who are less able to withstand it will probably be directly corroded and alienated.
Just like the ravings of the great being Lu Jian, it has a similar effect.
"Of course, and it's a very profound pollution."
Feng Yu smiled.
"My trip this time was to verify these, and I got the answer, but I also paid a price."
She suddenly came over and pulled down the collar of her dress very close to Lu Jian.
Lu Jian saw that there was no welfare picture that the people liked to see.
There was nothing there. A huge mouth with countless teeth lay across Feng Yu's chest. In the mouth, countless wriggling tentacles were trying to close the huge mouth of the abyss. Deeper, countless eyeballs turned, and from between the gaps.
Spying on the landing.
It was as if the entire body had turned into an empty shell, with only the big mouth remaining, trying to disguise itself as a human being.
Lu Tan raised his head and saw that Feng Yu's smile had not changed at all.
