Chapter 1156: Occult Science

Actually, Zhang Zian had already guessed the identities of these people.

Beneath the seemingly peaceful appearance of the world, people with different hidden ideas, such as believers of mysticism and agnostics, lurked. Such people were particularly abundant in Western countries as well as in Eastern countries. They were relatively fewer in Eastern countries, possibly because Western countries were rich and had good social welfare, which allowed these people to have the leisure time to think about those random things.

They were just ordinary people in ordinary lives. They could be your elegant university professor or your honest neighbor. They denied science and religion in private, and they had an extraordinary curiosity about meditation, divination, constellations, ancient legends, mysteries, and other things. They often devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the study and forgot to eat and sleep. They needed to put some things that they had learned into practice.

Maybe they were good at dealing with each other, but in private they looked at the world with pity and mockery. They felt that people were ignorant and muddled around aimlessly. They believed that they were the only ones sober in a world of people who were all drunk. They were sort of the senior version of the teenage syndrome.

Human beings were collective animals, and these people were eager to communicate and share their research results with their peers. This was very difficult in reality. The total number of believers of mysticism and agnostics was not small, but according to the average distribution it was very rare.

In the past, they had only been able to communicate through letters, but the internet had given them more convenient ways of communication, which also allowed them to organize more effectively and even form cross-border groups.

Obviously, the people that Zhang Zian had seen in the pyramid were a group of believers of mysticism.

Zhang Zian did not intend to try to reason with these people because they were irrational. They had their own inherent knowledge that was ingrained deep in their bones. They looked down on religion and science, and trying to reason with them would eventually evolve into a quarrel.

The man who’d spoken to him saw his expression shift slightly and thought he was moved by his words. He laughed. “So do you feel the pure energy from the universe?”

In fact, Zhang Zian had just come in out of curiosity and wanted to find a place to put the Holy Cat statue, but he thought it was too boring, to tell the truth. So he followed the flow and suddenly opened his eyes, putting on a very shocked look. He looked down at his hands as if there was something in his palm and exclaimed, “I feel it! I feel it! My god! It is beyond logic and above reason! Such a powerful and pure energy…”

He looked up at the ventilation duct and opened his arms, squinting with intoxication.

“Powerful and pure cosmic energy fell from the sky and penetrated my body, accompanied by my blood flowing through my body, washing my bones, strengthening my internal organs… It’s like a new life!”

He opened his eyes a crack and secretly observed these people’s reactions.

He was worried that his performance just now had been a bit too much. After all, he was not like Famous, someone with a Best Actor prize. It would probably cause people to mock him a bit.

However, the ideas of the believers of mysticism could not be guessed by common sense. They seemed to believe his improvisation, showing surprise and excitement and applauding loudly.

“That’s great!”

The Chinese speaker excitedly reached out his hand towards Zhang Zian. “From the moment you came in, I felt that you were different. You were filled with pure energy from the universe in the deep of your body, so you could respond to the distant cosmic energy so quickly that you reached the realm of harmony between man and nature!”

Zhang Zian was stunned and shook hands mechanically. What the f*ck—he’d bragged so freely and yet someone believed him?

There were too many idiots in this day and age and not enough swindlers!

Furthermore, what did he mean by the realm of harmony between man and nature?

When ordinary people with common sense saw these gatherings of those who believed mysticism, they usually stayed away from them, avoiding them out of fear. They did not want to get involved with them, just like the Western lady who’d bumped into Zhang Zian and left in a hurry. That was the normal reaction.

Zhang Zian had deliberately done the opposite, which made these people think that his talent was extraordinary, and they somehow came to the conclusion that he had some pure energy from the universe in his body…

Goodness knows that his body only had hormones with no place to be released!

After shaking hands, the man pointed to the others and said, “My name is Peter Lee. I’m the director of the Cosmological Information Society in Greater China. You can call me Lee Peter. These are all members of our society.”

“You are really especially mischievous,” Zhang Zian almost blurted out, but, still strangled, he said, “My name is Jeff Zhang. You can also call me Zhang Jeff.”

No one would see that Lee Peter was a strong believer of mysticism unless they heard his delusional words. He was somewhat overweight in middle age, but he was well dressed, with huge gold rings on his fingers and a Rolex on his wrist. He was not vulgar in his speech, so he was probably relatively rich.

In fact, there were mainly two kinds of people who believed in mysticism. One group was made up of middle school students and college students. The other was the upper and middle class. Their common characteristic was that they had plenty of leisure time and didn’t have to worry about money. If ordinary people were working hard all day to support their families, how would they have enough leisure time to study this?

Many high school students and college students who were keen on mysticism would gradually forget it under the pressure of work and life after they entered society. Therefore, the main force of mysticism was the wealthy people in the upper and middle classes.

Zhang Zian glanced at them. Although these people were not all the same age, they were basically all over 30 years old. They did not look like poor people in dress and temperament.

They also smiled and waved at him to express their happiness in meeting him.

Lee Peter asked, “So, do you have any interest in joining our organization?”

Zhang Zian had no interest in joining such an inexplicable cult and did not know what he could learn in a cult. He would probably learn astrology until it filled his brain and he ran to the wilderness every night to look up at the stars.

“This…” He deliberated on his wording and tried to find an excuse to decline.

Lee Peter then eagerly tried to convince him again. “Zhang Jeff, you are very talented and have a rare sensitive constitution. It’s a waste to not join us! We have activities from time to time. We have been to the Mayan Pyramids, the Stonehenge, the Easter Islands Moai statues, the Stone Spheres of Costa Rica, the Peru Nazca wilderness, the Sacsayhuaman Fortress, China’s Longyou Caves, and other places to experience pure energy from the universe, but none of them has such pure and rich energy as the Great Pyramid! As long as you join us, you can come with us on the journey of pursuing cosmic energy!”

“What I want to know is… What exactly is cosmic energy, and why is it worth your running all over the place for it?” Zhang Zian asked.
