Earth Era

Chapter 5: Psychological Models

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Zhao Huasheng was slightly embarrassed. "I am willing to dedicate all I have to the cause of humanity, but I still don't know where I am special, and I don't know why your brother would leave me the paper "

"My brother's words will not be wrong," Li Wei said, taking out a pen and paper from her bag and writing down a string of numbers and handing it to Zhao Huasheng: "This is my contact information. If you have anything you want to know from me, feel free to contact me at any time."

"Okay. Thank you," Zhao Huasheng nodded as he took the paper.

At last, the meeting came to an end, and Zhao Huasheng left the venue under the guidance of service personnel. Zhao Huasheng knew that this was an important meeting that could potentially change the fate of humanity, but it was also because of its importance that Zhao Huasheng didn't have the qualifications to take part in it.

This meeting was only a general, strategic-level meeting, and it basically didn't involve any specific affairs. After the meeting, various related departments would hold countless internal meetings to determine the action plan, followed by numerous joint meetings, but Zhao Huasheng had nothing to do with it.

In the afternoon was Li Qi's memorial service. At the memorial service, Zhao Huasheng met Li Wei again. However, this time, the two of them didn't talk; they just nodded at each other as a greeting.

Standing in the temple, looking at the body of Li Qi draped in the banner of the Alliance and covered in flowers, looking at the black and white photos, Zhao Huasheng inexplicably had a very surreal feeling.

The fate of humanity had changed drastically, and at this moment, countless related personnel were busy preparing for the change, but Zhao Huasheng was still outside of this bustle. After a moment of distraction, Zhao Huasheng bowed to Li Qi's body and then left the temple.

Zhao Huasheng and Meng Zhuo returned home together. Before opening the door, Zhao Huasheng said to Meng Zhuo: "Can you go somewhere else first? I want to be alone.

Meng Zhuo shook his head and coldly said one words: "No.

Zhao HuaSheng was taken aback and asked, "Why? Are you following me?"

Meng Zhuo replied, "No. For your own safety, I have to stay with you. If you die like Li Qi did, without any explanation, none of us can bear the consequences."

Zhao HuaSheng sighed and said, "Alright."

As Zhao HuaSheng opened the door and walked in with Meng Zhuo, he said, "If you want to be alone, I can make sure you don't see me."

"Don't see you?" Zhao HuaSheng asked.

Mengzhu nodded and walked straight to the balcony, leaving no trace behind. Zhao Huasheng also went over and pulled aside the curtains, only to find the balcony empty. Zhao Huasheng was taken aback and looked up at the ceiling and behind himself, but couldn't find Mengzhu either.

It seemed like Mengzhu had disappeared. But Zhao Huasheng knew that Mengzhu was still in his own house. He had no curiosity about how Mengzhu had hidden himself. As someone who had become a Level One Investigator in the Alliance's Security Department and had been valued by the old man, he must have some capabilities beyond those of ordinary people.

Zhao Huasheng didn't look for Mengzhu anymore but sat on the sofa, poured himself a cup of apple juice, and then laid on the sofa, facing the pitch-black television, distractedly.

Zhao Huasheng reminisced in detail every moment he had spent with Li Qi, recalling every word they had said, in an attempt to find a trace of clues. Unfortunately, his long contemplation did not yield any results. So Zhao Huasheng changed his approach, instead thinking about the issue from a different perspective.

"Regardless of why Li Qi chose me in the first place...let us first think about this question, why did he leave me a blank sheet of paper? What does a blank sheet of paper signify? How did he know everything yet say nothing?"

If viewed from a normal person's perspective, Li Qi had no motive to hide all this. After all, this was a matter related to the survival of the entire human race. As a normal member of humanity, the normal course of action should have been to announce the news at the first opportunity and seek solutions from the entire Human Alliance. However, he did not do so... Does this mean that Li Qi was not unwilling to announce the news but instead was prevented from doing so due to some unknown force and could only pass on all these matters through a cryptic metaphor on a white sheet of paper?

If this is the case, then everything makes sense. Perhaps the reason why Li Qi chose me in the end is because I held the key to unlocking this cryptic metaphor. However, what exactly is this key...

"Meng zhuo." Zhao Huasheng called out. Before the sound of his voice had faded, Meng zhuo's calm and flat voice came through: "I'm here."

Zhao Huasheng turned around and saw Meng Zhuo come out from the balcony, "What orders do you have?"

Zhao Huasheng didn't bother to think about where Mengzhuo had been hiding just now and asked directly: "I remember the emperor once said that he would set up a special group of psychologists and scientists to analyze Li Qi's psychological motives and all the traces he left behind, as well as all my past, and try to find the reason behind Li Chi's actions, right?

"Yes." Mengzhuo nodded.

"Alright, I require that this psychology group and I keep information shared; any of their research results and conclusions, as well as speculation, I should see firsthand. Don't know if I have the authority for that?"

"Of course you have the authority." Mengzhu nodded and said, "Please wait a moment."

Mengzhu took out a device that looked like a phone and pressed a few buttons. In less than twenty minutes, four or five young men dressed in the same black suit as Meng Zhao arrived at Zhao Huasheng's house. They also brought some instruments, and without Zhao Huasheng's permission, they followed Meng zhuo to a side room and then began to be busy.

Half an hour later, the four or five young men left without saying a word, just as they had come. Meng Zhuo said to Zhao Huasheng, "The most advanced computer that can connect to the department's intranet, three-dimensional projection equipment, voice call devices, fax machines, etc., have all been installed. From now on, you can connect to the psychology team at any time of the day or night to get the latest research progress. At the same time, the psychology team will contact you immediately if there is any new progress. Uh, the first phase of research progress information has been faxed. You can have a look."

Meng Zhuo pointed to the fax machine and gestured to Zhao Huasheng, who nodded somewhat absent-mindedly.

"I'll go first. If you need anything, just call me." Meng Zhuo said, then turned and left the room, not knowing where he was going.

Zhao Huasheng sat in his seat for five minutes until he calmed himself down. He then picked up the document and started to read it, page by page.

The document was long and complex. Within this document, the psychological group traced back Li Qi's childhood and slowly constructed a model of his psychology, then used this model as a basis to reverse-infer Li Qi's behavior and compare it to the recorded actual behavior of Li Qi. If the inferred behavior was consistent with Li Qi's actual behavior, then the construction of the model of Li Qi's psychology would be saved; if not, the construction would be questioned, and further analysis would be carried out in order to find the correct construction model.

In addition to the model construction data of Li Qi's psychology, there were also data on the model construction of Zhao Huasheng's psychology. When Zhao Huasheng saw the psychological data of Li Qi alone, he didn't feel any special emotion, but when he saw the data of his own psychological analysis, he gradually broke out in a cold sweat and eventually even started to tremble slightly

It feels like having all of one's clothes stripped off and being put under a spotlight and examined in the most detailed way by countless people with various instruments. Under such an examination, any secrets, even those hidden in the deepest depths of one's heart, will be dug out.

In short, this psychological analysis method is to infer a person's psychological mechanism by observing his behavior, and then, based on this, further speculate the reaction of the person when facing various real-life situations. Under this analysis method, any behavior of a person can be found from the psychological level corresponding to the psychological operation mechanism, that is, the reason why the person does this. Even when the parties themselves have not figured out what to do, this psychological analysis group already knows what he will do eventually through this method.

They even accurately predicted that Zhao Huasheng would have a restless night yesterday and that Zhao Huasheng would ask Meng Zhuo to leave today.

"This is the extent of what the top psychologists can do with their most advanced psychological theories and full-scale data support... It's simply terrifying." Until now, Zhao Huasheng had only truly realized how powerful the Human Alliance is.

However... this is of no use.

Because, at the end of the stack of data, it was clearly written: "Unfortunately, the psychological model we have constructed still cannot explain the actions of Li Qi before his death. In other words... we still don't know why Li Qi did it."
