"What!"
Li Yao almost spit out his mouthful of fried green onion buns.
He wanted to grab Zhang Daniu's neck and ask, "What's the situation?
Do you know about this 'Ark'?
Tell me, what's the specific situation!"
"that is--" Zhang Daniu glanced at Li Yao's phone again.
At this time, the sister of "Dream Traveler" sent another new message, but it was a link to a website.
When he clicked on it, his face became paler, "Yes, no Wrong, this is Ark.
A few days ago, we had an author group, where some authors often chatted, bragged, and discussed ideas.
Then a stranger in the group came to me and claimed to be this person. ark The staff of the Psychological Research Center are conducting a questionnaire survey on the life and psychological state of freelancers in our country, and they can also provide free psychological consultation.
I will give you some basic information, including my contact information and address.
Everything has been filled in, yes, as well as my neurasthenia and sleepwalking.
Of course, I didn't say that I would code words when I was sleepwalking - I'm not sure about this myself. " "You, how could you reveal such important information!"
Li Yao wanted to slam the table, "You don't even know who the other person is, whether he is a liar or has bad intentions.
How can you tell someone something as important as your contact information and address!"
"I didn't know at the time.
Even if you were a liar, what could you possibly lie to me?"
Zhang Daniu said, "The staff member is a girl who has just graduated from college.
It is not easy to find a job.
This questionnaire is included in her job evaluation.
If she does not meet the standards, she will be fired.
I heard what she said Poor, I thought there was no need to be so unkind, I should always support the young woman in her legitimate work.
Besides, she also promised to send me small gifts and keep in touch!"
Li Yao took a deep breath and had nothing to say.
"No, nothing really happened, right?"
Zhang Daniu said, "She also told me at the time that their organization was not studying serious mental illnesses, but was only conducting intervention on the psychological problems and sub-health states that are common among modern people, especially freelancers like us. , often under great pressure and even social criticism, so if there is a psychological deviation, you must not hide the illness and contact her as soon as possible - I think it makes sense!"
"Okay, stop talking, let me think about it, think about it carefully."
Li Yao closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his eyebrows and the bridge of his nose.
"Think, have you figured it out?"
Half a minute later, Zhang Daniu asked cautiously.
"Um."
Li Yao opened his eyes suddenly, with an unstoppable light in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Niu, I'm still a little hungry.
Can we get twenty buns and dumplings each?
No, thirty, no, just give them Is this pot all round?"
Zhang Daniu: "..."
Li Yao: "Look, I really have superpowers.
If I didn't have superpowers, how could I eat so much in one go?"
Zhang Daniu: "I believe it.
I believe you have super powers.
Isn't that okay?
But Teacher Niu is really broke.
I won't lie to you.
I lied to you like a puppy!"
Li Yao: "That's not right.
You clearly promised to treat the 'little rabbit in the sea of stars' to eat 'Heyin Cuisine' last night.

I checked online and found that the most basic set meal there costs four to five hundred for one person and two people."
Add it up, order another wine, add a few dishes, etc., there is no one Thousands, three and five hundred won't come down at all!
The bone casserole we ate yesterday was billed at two hundred and eighty, which means you still have at least a thousand dollars in activity funds in your pocket.
I've calculated that it's enough for me to be full and return to my strongest state.
When the time comes, I will actually tear the dumbbell pieces apart for you to see!”
Zhang Daniu: "..."
Li Yao: "Hey, Teacher Niu, please don't leave.
What do you mean by running away like this?
Escape will not solve the problem.
Now I am sure that this 'Ark' has targeted you!
You can tell me to get out, but Can you really tell the staff of "Ark" to get out?
Are you even sure that the girl who took the questionnaire is really a girl and not a muscular man with a bearded face and a palm to protect his heart?
"You really don't want to see me.
I'll leave now, really.
But if ten or eight strong men from the Ark sneak into your house at midnight tonight, don't call for help.
Call me.
Can't hear it either."
Zhang Daniu stopped suddenly, and when he turned around, tears filled his eyes.
"Who the hell did I mess with!"
the author cried out in grief and indignation.
In the end, they did not buy pan-fried buns and dumplings.
Instead, they went to the nearby steamed bun shop and bought a few hundred yuan of Gaozhuang steamed buns.
They had no fillings, were made of pure flour, and were as hard as lumps of stones.
Seeing the surprised look in the landlady's eyes, Li Yao explained that they were from the construction site next door.
Energy-rich sports drinks were also expensive.
Zhang Daniu was reluctant to buy them, but he sullenly bought five large bags of sugar and two large bottles of mineral water in a small supermarket and gave them to Li Yao.
After returning home, he watched Li Yao mix five packs of white sugar into water and eat thirty or fifty Gaozhuang steamed buns in one go without even belching.
Zhang Daniu sighed, realizing that he was really messed up this time.
Something's happened.
"Now, you should believe it, right?"
Li Yao held his half-full belly and said, "The 'Dream Traveler' predicted the tragic death of fantasy creators, and was then sent to the 'Ark' for treatment, and this 'Ark' was still active in your author group some time ago - - If you think that this is all a coincidence, then your IQ is too poor for the series of conspiracies in "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation".
"So, you are the one who should face the reality.
The reality is that you are being targeted.
The other party knows your identity and address very well.
It seems that the other party also controls unimaginable resources.
Of course you can escape.
But where can you escape, and how long can you escape?
Will there be a series of accidents on the way to escape, just like the creators of "Blood and Sand", "Forced Hunters", and "Star Circle World"?
"Understood, your only way out is to cooperate with me.
Let's take the initiative and find the truth together!"
Facing Li Yao's invitation, Zhang Daniu was silent for a long time and said, "I'm thinking, if I am really found by the people of 'Ark', what will they do to me?"
"You have written about similar organizations in your novels.
What do you think they will do?"
Li Yao spread his hands and said, "The bottom line is three to five courses of electrotherapy, right?"
Zhang Daniu shuddered and stopped talking.

"It seems that you have understood your situation.
Of course, my situation is not much better than yours.
Now the two of us are grasshoppers on a rope.
If we don't work together, we will really be doomed."
Li Yaodao, "I need your help.
First of all, tell me more about this 'Ark' and the questionnaire survey at that time.
Do you keep the manuscript?"
Zhang Daniu turned on the computer and found the electronic version of the questionnaire.
Li Yaofei took a quick glance and found that they were all very common and innocuous questions.
It seemed that the other party's purpose was to deceive the author's contact information and address to pave the way for the next contact.
There is a link on the last page of the questionnaire, which is the official website of the other party.
It is the same as the link sent by the sister of "Dream Traveler" just now.
When entering the official website, the first thing that catches the eye is the abstract icon of a large ship with wings, which seems to be the symbol of this organization.
Of course Li Yao had heard of the word "Ark", which meant the last refuge when the world was destroyed.
Whenever an Ark appeared, it meant that a catastrophe that would destroy the world was about to come.
After taking a closer look, I realized that this "Ark" is not just a psychological research and mental illness treatment center.
It is actually a foundation with influence all over the world, the "Ark Foundation", which has received countless mysterious funds and Supported by a consortium, it specializes in life sciences, brain mysteries, genetics and neurology, etc.
Its purpose is to explore the mysteries of life and even the soul, and constantly break through the limits of human beings - at least, that's what the official website says.
"I asked several friends who write books, and they have received similar questionnaires.
Some of them have also investigated the Ark Foundation.
There are no problems."
Zhang Daniu said, "This is really an international charity organization.
It has good cooperative relations with psychological associations, brain surgery hospitals and neurological research organizations in many countries.
It has branches in many developing countries and even war-torn countries.
The ministry pays attention to the mental and mental health of local people, and has even discovered many 'genius children' with extremely high IQs from war-torn countries.
If it were not for the Ark Foundation, these genius children would definitely be buried."
"Yeah?"
Li Yao didn't believe a word of it.
He looked over and over on the official website but couldn't get a general idea.
He thought for a long time and had no choice but to call the "Dream Traveler" sister again.
He had a vague feeling that Dream Traveler's sister's attitude was not so firm - if she really believed that her brother was a lunatic and Li Yao was also a lunatic, she wouldn't have to take the initiative to send a message and just ignore it.
Since she sent two messages in a row and also sent the official website of the "Ark Foundation", could it be said that she is not sure?
This time, the call was answered quickly.
The fire of hope in Li Yao's heart grew stronger, and he hurriedly said: "Hello, Miss, I have read the link you just sent, and I have read it carefully, but I still firmly believe that your brother is not crazy. , but encountered some things that cannot be explained by common sense.
Can you Give me a chance, and give your brother a chance, let's have a good chat?
Really, schizophrenia is a very serious mental illness.
Once diagnosed, it is almost impossible to recover for a lifetime.
Do you want your brother to spend his whole life?
Locked up in a mental hospital?"
There was silence for a while, and there was a faint sound of someone taking a deep breath.
Then, the girl said, "What exactly do you want to know?"
