Chapter 1: Prologue

["The second disease" refers to the behavior and thinking logic of people who "put on a meaningless show because they want to be recognized by others" or "deny others and society to protect themselves". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoSince the age of onset is usually the second year of junior high school, it is called "secondary two disease". ]

(Sunday, April 1, 2012; embankment)

The bright spring sun shines on the sparkling river, and a reinforced concrete rope bridge crosses it, and there is always a steady stream of vehicles on the bridge and on the road on both sides.

On the grassy slope of the embankment on the riverbank, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old lay leisurely, with a stick of grass in his mouth, quietly looking at the embankment, which was almost unpassing.

"Well, although it has long been known that the transmission of consciousness across the world will trigger corresponding causal changes and shape new history, it is ...... Judging from my current three views as a human being, this history is too......" the young man muttered to himself.

He is a doppelganger of the Observer. The observer is in a sense God, and his job is to monitor the workings of the world.

"My name is ...... from memory Sora Akiyama?hmm...... Since I was a child, I have had all kinds of bizarre dreams, and the content of the dreams is ...... It seems that these are all memories of my travels in the heavens and all worlds? Since the age of eight or nine, I have been suffering from the so-called 'secondary disease'...... Is it because of a messy dream? At first, I would tell it to others, and my parents would think it was delusional, but the elementary school children would fantasize about it together...... Later, he hid it from the people around him...... But I still think I'm from another world......"

"With the wisdom brought by dreams, I jumped to the third grade when I first entered junior high school at the age of twelve, and then entered high school in half a year...... After that, it took less than two years to enter the university...... It's pretty fast according to this civilized education system......"

"I got two PhDs in three years...... And then try to find a way not to reveal the knowledge that has gone before? ā€

Akiyama lay lazily, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"But fortunately, I received a full adjustment of the thinking system before the transmission of consciousness, and the logic valve was also changed accordingly, otherwise I would have lost myself. ā€

"It turns out that 'I' am really a withdrawn person......"

Looking back carefully, Akiyama Sora really doesn't seem to have any bosom friends. In addition to his parents and relatives, only one childhood playmate can be regarded as a confidant, and in addition, there are a dozen or so classmates and friends who can talk to each other, while most of the others are just nodding acquaintances or academic contacts. Especially when I was in college, when I was socializing and doing activities with other students, Sora Akiyama was immersed in the library, and naturally I didn't have many friends.

"That girl...... Call, call...... "The only playmate in my mind was a girl with short pink hair, less than a year younger than him, a former neighbor. I remember that when he first entered junior high school, he still saw each other often, but half a year later, because he skipped a grade to a top high school far away from home, he rarely kept in touch, and only occasionally met when he went home.

"Now...... I'm an associate professor at Kyoto University, working on brain science and brain-computer interfaces. Not only that, but with advanced knowledge of mathematical logic ahead of the times, and using artificial intelligence technology, I can operate several games with exquisite algorithms on my own, and it is no problem to make a living. ā€

"So it seems that there is nothing to worry about for the time being. ā€

Sora Akiyama stood up, flicked the dust off his body, and walked slowly towards the apartment. In the soft sunlight, his back disappeared around the corner of the street.
