new York.
Afternoon~
JFK International Airport, Queens.
In the parking lot outside the airport, David stood by the car door, looked at Mr. Tianniu with surprise, and asked.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Yes!" Mr. Tianniu helped David open the car door, signaled to the driver Giovanni, and then got into David's car and explained.
"Scientology, also known as Scientology, was founded by L. Ron Hubbard in the early 1950s."
“In the 1940s and 1950s, many people who had suffered psychological trauma or suffered from mental illness during the war and post-war period were confused by Hubbard’s audiological therapy, thinking that he could be cured by audiological therapy. and solve people’s psychological problems and trauma.”
"Because Hubbard, the former science fiction novelist, believed that before birth, human beings will be possessed by a kind of soul-like creature called Sitan, and there are more than one..."
"That's why when people grow up and live, they feel tortured and have various psychological problems due to the presence of multiple Sitan souls in their bodies."
"In Newark, the largest city in New Jersey, there is the [Hubbard Takes You Research Foundation] established by Hubbard's organization."
"Hi~!"
"Wait a minute!" David felt that he was getting more and more confused after hearing Mr. Tianniu's explanation.
He frowned, rubbed his chin, and asked, "What does this Hubbard have to do with me?"
"How could he...?"
Mr. Tianniu smiled and shrugged: "He has nothing to do with you."
"But he believes that you are a young man who became a multi-millionaire by luck. After suffering certain setbacks or blows and developing psychological problems, you are very suitable to develop into a believer, or to be regarded as prey!"
"Uh..." David felt ridiculous and speechless.
"Haha~" Mr. Tianniu continued with a smile.
"In fact, as early as the 60s, Hubbard had quietly developed a large number of believers in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles."
"Last year, he publicly told the media in New York that he had established branches in more than 30 cities across the country."
“Many people with mental illness or excessive psychological pressure have participated in the audio-visual activities organized by Hubbard, and in these activities to explore personal privacy secrets, they have mastered the deepest secrets hidden in the hearts of countless participants! "
"Some people who participated in the audio-visual activities reported to the FBI, believing that Hubbard was using the psychotherapy and counseling process of asking questions to the participants to secretly collect personal confidential information and use it as a threat."
"Where's the FBI?" David asked, feeling even more confused.
"Didn't they investigate?"
"Of course I investigated."
"But Hubbard is very smart!"
"He took full advantage of people's psychology of privacy protection and showed the FBI that everyone's participation in the activities was voluntary, and he would never tell anyone any private information."
"And those who make reports will certainly not submit personal and private information as evidence to the FBI or prosecutors."
"So, the government department he must be wary of in the country is not the FBI or police and other law enforcement agencies, but the IRS!"
"Federal Tax Service?"
"Yes!"
"...Haha~" David laughed dryly a few times, and once again lamented the strength of IRS.
"Americans will definitely experience three things in life: birth, death, and paying taxes... Huh?"
"That's right! Hahaha~" Mr. Tianniu couldn't help laughing and shook his head.
David rubbed his chin and frowned as Mr. Tianniu laughed: "This liar who likes to pry into other people's privacy and brainwash people, does he think that I am also a colleague, so he is targeting me?"
"Maybe~"
After hearing David's "explicit" question, Mr. Tianniu stopped joking and asked in a low voice.
"What about you?"
"You don't think you're a liar too, do you?"
"Do you look like me?"
"It's quite similar!"
"Ok?"
"At least you deeply admire your handling of personal feelings!"
"Tsk~" David curled his lips and rolled his eyes at Mr. Tianniu, but he really enjoyed the atmosphere between the two of them where they could tease and complain casually and said with a smile.
"No matter what others think of me, I think I am a very dedicated person in relationships!"
"...Hmm!" Mr. Tianniu nodded feeling a little against his will.
David simply turned his head and looked out the window, not paying attention to her reaction, and continued.
"I was able to go from being an ordinary bartender working in a bar to becoming a multi-millionaire in just half a year. This will definitely attract the suspicion and attention of countless people."
"They may try every means to spy on me, investigate my motives, predict my plans, etc."
"But none of this is important to me!"
"Only by allowing myself to ignore them and them can I focus on what is in front of me and keep moving forward step by step!"
David suddenly remembered a piece of news that was hyped by the media a few years ago, and asked Mr. Tianniu.
"Have you ever heard of The Stanford Prison Experiment?"
"..??"
"No." The beetle shook his head slowly, looking confused.
David shrugged, opened the car window and waved to Giovanni, who was smoking, and smiled.
“In the summer of 1971, Stanford University psychology professor Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues built a simulated prison in the basement of the university.”
"His team published an advertisement that each person could receive 15 meters per day, and recruited 24 volunteers with normal mental health and physical health to complete a 14-day experiment."
"These 24 volunteers were randomly divided into two groups, 12 acted as police officers, and the other 12 acted as prisoners. During the experiment, there were only 9 people in each group, and the remaining 3 people were backup."
"The experiment simulated a real prison environment. The prisoners were escorted to the prison in disguised police cars. They were then searched, stripped naked, cleaned and disinfected, put on prison uniforms, and had their right feet shackled, etc."
"Prisoner volunteers cannot move freely after being locked up in the prison. Three people live in a small cubicle and can only roam in the corridor. Each person has no name and only a number."
"Volunteers who serve as guards are not trained to be prison guards and are simply told to do whatever they need to do to maintain order and law in the prison."
"On the first night of the experiment, the guards blew the whistle in the middle of the night and asked the prisoners to get up and line up to verify whether their authority had been established in the hearts of the prisoner volunteers."
"When they punish prisoners, they will order them to do push-ups and other corporal punishment exercises. In order to increase the intensity of the punishment, they sometimes even ride on the prisoners."
"Early the next morning, the prisoners began to protest. They opened the prison partitions and blocked the prison door with beds to prevent the guards from entering."
"The guards who came to change shifts were very angry when they saw the prisoners' resistance, thinking that the guards in the previous round were too kind to the prisoners."
"The new guards sprayed prisoners with fire extinguishers, stripped off prisoners' clothes, found out the troublemaking prisoners and locked them up, and severely reprimanded and intimidated other prisoners."
"But these guards quickly realized a problem - they could not properly manage nine prisoners in a shift of three."
“So they found the three people who had committed the most minor crimes in the resistance activities, put them in a separate cell, and gave them better treatment than other prisoners. They could wear normal clothes, brush their teeth, and eat better meals. .”
"After half a day, put them back into other prisons, and then put the three who led the trouble into the preferential treatment compartment."
"After these operations by the guards, some inmates began to believe that these three people received preferential treatment because they were whistleblowers, and distrust began to spread among the prisoners."
David supported his chin with one hand, looking at the passers-by in the distance outside the car window, and continued in a somewhat erratic voice.
"In the next two days, the guard volunteers and prisoner volunteers all fully assumed their roles."
"The guards not only imagined themselves as real prison guards, but also used their power to torture and abuse the prisoners to demonstrate their authority."
"When the prisoners who were tortured by the guards in various ways met the experiment organizer Professor Philip Zimbardo, two of them cried bitterly and said that they could no longer hold on."
"So, we organized the prisoners to hold a hearing and told them whether they would choose to be released on bail if they had the opportunity to apply for bail but could not get the previous payment. Almost all the prisoners agreed to release on bail."
"After questioning, the professor said he would consider the proposal and asked them to return to their cells. No one protested."
"At this time, as long as one of them proposes to interrupt the experiment, they will actually get the same result as bailing out, but everyone seems to have regarded the experiment as reality and do not know how to resist."
David turned back, glanced at his "third brother" Giovanni who was sitting in the driver's seat in a daze, and sighed to Mr. Tianniu.
"One of the volunteers once sent a request to the priest who came to work in the prison simulation, asking him to help find a lawyer to rescue them."
"When the lawyer came to the scene, he said he was powerless because it was just an experiment and the prisoners' self-rescue failed."
"But the experiment was ultimately terminated on the sixth day."
"It was terminated for two reasons."
"First, the experiment organizers discovered from surveillance videos that guards tend to be more cruel to prisoners at night and use various nasty methods to torture prisoners because they think no one will pay attention to their behavior in the middle of the night."
"Secondly, a female doctor from Stanford University who came to visit saw the prisoners being shackled together, with bags on their heads so they couldn't see anything, and being yelled by the guards to run around in the toilet. Go, very shocked..."
"After she strongly protested to the experiment organizer, Professor Philip Zimbardo, Professor Zimbardo came to his senses and immediately terminated the experiment."
"During the experiment, not one of the more than 50 people who visited the experimental site before the female doctor raised any objections."
David opened his hands to Mr. Tianniu, who had a very strange expression, and sighed rather sadly.
"Perhaps you may wonder why Zimbardo, the psychology professor, is so slow?"
"In fact, everyone who participated in that experiment has been deeply involved in the role they played and cannot extricate themselves."
"Whether he is the abuser or the abused, even Professor Zimbardo, who presided over the experiment, was involved and became the image of a neutral judge who maintained order in his prison."
"After that experiment, countless media outlets that got wind of it used various methods to interview the volunteers who participated in the experiment, which caused widespread controversy in society."
"Professor Zimbardo, the organizer of the experiment, also wrote many papers after the experiment, and concluded~"
"The failed Stanford prison experiment and the Milgram obedience experiment conducted at Yale University in 61 both illustrate that the environment can gradually change a person's personality, and the situation can immediately change a person's behavior."
“The degree and universality of normal people’s obedience to authority is far beyond people’s imagination!”
"A gentle gentleman who, under certain circumstances, can turn into a bloodthirsty sadist."
"A perpetrator who knows he will not be punished will eventually become a monster..."
"Do you still remember the female doctor who strongly protested to Professor Zimbardo?"
"She was Professor Zimbardo's girlfriend and later became his wife..."
When David said this, he patted Giovanni, took a deep breath, and asked Mr. Longhorn.
"You shouldn't be unfamiliar with this aspect, right?"
"Hmm..." Mr. Tianniu took a deep breath.
"Years ago, it was revealed that CIA conducted similar obedience tests when training agents."
"It is said that this obedience test refers to a test method that evaluates people's trust and compliance with authority, rules and community."
"It is often done in a way that appears legitimate and reasonable, and test subjects are misled and unknowingly subjected to testing and related behaviors."
"This test is often used to assess an individual's dominance, loyalty, leadership, empathy, interpersonal communication skills, responsibility and ethics."
"CIA conducts a series of evaluation tests on loyalty, obedience, responsibility, compassion and moral level of agents participating in training through some similar obedience tests."
"So some people jokingly call it...the waste test."
"Any agent who cannot pass the test will not be able to serve in CIA field work and can only do some back-office work or be eliminated."
"Internal service?" David habitually crossed his legs, crossed his hands on his legs, and asked after thinking for a while.
"Toby Olga, has he participated in a similar test?"
"Probably, no~"
"I heard that the CIA later secretly conducted experiments using drugs, hypnosis and other methods to try to control certain people's thoughts or behaviors. After it was exposed by the media..."
"They basically haven't done similar experiments and tests anymore."
"But I can't be completely sure about this."
"If you want to find out, you'd better ask Otis Parker."
"He has always been very interested in information in this area!"
"he?"
"Yes~"
"It seems like I haven't seen him for half a month, right?"
"What? Do you miss him?"
"Haha~" David couldn't help laughing when he heard Mr. Tianniu's teasing.
"I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it at all."
"But if you ask me, how much I miss him..."
"I can only tell you that I want to call him a lunatic again to his face!"
"Hahaha~ I'll tell him later." Mr. Tianniu laughed and continued.
David shook his head indifferently and continued the previous topic.
"The person who went to my hometown of Morrison to inquire about information and deliberately spread rumors to the town was sent by Hubbard?"
"That's not entirely certain yet."
"But the scumbag you have seen before, after more than a month of investigation, I found that some people in your town seem to be unable to understand or unwilling to believe that you can make a fortune, and some people think that you must have joined Only when you join a certain gang..."
"Haha~" David heard Mr. Tianniu suddenly use the more polite word "you" and glanced at him with a smile.
Mr. Tianniu continued as if he had not seen him before.
"Last year, when I was staying at your home in Morrison Township, I went to California and initially established an intelligence collection network there to help Matt Ludwig collect a lot of information about the presidential candidates. Information about Astaire K. Wood.”
"By the way, I also collected some information about Bloomer's father, Mr. Wharton, and Livlin's father, Mr. Cherov."
"Wait a minute!" David frowned, interrupting the beetle, and asked after thinking for a moment.
"After I came back from California, Otis Parker sent you to investigate?"
"Um.."
"My butler Acklade Parkinson, was it you who went to investigate?"
"Hmm..." Mr. Tianniu nodded with raised eyebrows.
David curled his lips and smiled bitterly: "Okay~ Anyway, in your eyes, I am like a transparent person with no personal privacy..."
"No!"
"You have completely misunderstood us."
The beetle showed a very frank expression, looked at David and said: "Perhaps only Odis Parker will be interested in your personal privacy."
"Without you, we wouldn't be in the United States, living and working in New York."
"Both I, the gardener, and the dragonfly know this very well~"
"So we will do our best within our capabilities to ensure that your personal private information will not be snooped by others!"
"Oh~"
"Including the science fiction writer who likes to regard me as a candidate disciple or prey...Mr. Hubbard?"
"Yes!"
The beetle slowly narrowed his eyes, looked sideways at David, and asked in a low voice: "If you want to warn him, I have hundreds of ways to make him unforgettable for the rest of his life!"
"Or for less than 100,000 yuan, he will unfortunately die due to a sudden accident!"
"Uh... let's forget it!" David confirmed from the look in Mr. Tianniu's eyes that he was not joking, and shook his head slightly.
"I'm a businessman and I don't want to let myself be stained, and the same goes for you!"
"I can't control how you behaved in the past, and I don't want to."
"But now that you work for me, I don't like having blood or stains on your hands."
The beetle slowly lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and said with a smile on his lips.
"But someone has to do these things, right?"
"..." David looked out the window and did not answer.
Giovanni, who was driving, glanced at the two of them in the rearview mirror, frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly said.
"Boss, I can go!"
"Go to hell!"
"Don't you want Jin Ji and the child anymore?"
"You'd better drive with peace of mind!"
"Oh..." Giovanni shut his mouth obediently.
Mr. Tianniu glanced forward at this "dumb-headed boy", and the smile on his lips became wider.
