7, cubes

Wang, whose mouth was wide open and his eyes were wide open, put his hands on the ground, staring at the glowing cube in front of him stupidly, holding his breath and not daring to move.

In view, the cube is pitch black, except for the 12 borders that make up the cube. Each border is about a meter long and is white. Wang Qi can clearly see the street lamps in the distance and the mottled shade under the street lamps through the cube.

That is, this cube is completely transparent, and if it were not for the 12 glowing line segments, he would not be able to see the cube at all.

"This ...... What the hell is this?" Wang Qi stared at what was completely beyond his cognition in front of him, and felt his entire head condense.

He remained in a semi-recumbent position for at least ten minutes, until he realized that the cube was not biting, and no other changes had occurred, and then he slowly propped himself up and sat up completely upright.

As the position of his body changed, the cube also moved forward a short distance, maintaining a distance of about a meter from him.

Wang Qi stood up again, and the cube also rose.

He began to retreat again, and the cube followed suit.

He moves to the left, and so does the cube.

He moved to the right, and so did the cube.

He jumped on the spot, and the cube rose in place.

He trotted down the grassy slope, and as expected, the cube trotted after him.

In the end, Wang Qi, who had been testing for at least ten minutes, found that this cube, no matter how he moved or what posture he was in, was always in a state of synchronous motion with him.

That is, with himself as a frame of reference, the cube is always at rest.

Wang Qi suddenly thought of a question, he wanted to know if the physical light emitted by this cube made him see it, or if it directly stimulated his eye nerves and presented the image of the cube in his mind.

This problem is easy to solve by closing your eyes and blocking out the entry of outside light.

So, Wang Qi closed his eyes.

However, to his shock again, the cube was still suspended in front of his "eyes" one meter away!

Wang Qi's back was numb, and the cold sweat on his back and face came out at once.

The experiment just now showed that this cube is completely a product of his consciousness and does not interfere with the real world.

Of course, what he just found was not enough to prove his inference, and he needed more experiments to support his inference.

One of the ways that Wang Qi thought of was to touch the cube in front of him with his hand and see if the cube had any substance.

So, he began to stretch out his right hand and slowly touch the cube in front of him.

However, as soon as his right hand was halfway outstretched, Wang Qi immediately retracted it again, and the speed was so fast that the cobra would probably sigh to himself when he saw it.

"The devil knows what this cube is, will it make my hand disappear in a way I can't understand?" Wang Qi muttered in a low voice.

After his parents left, he became an orphan and lived alone for five or six years, with food, clothing, shelter, transportation, food, drink, and Lazar.

However, if you lose something, you will gain something. Life tortured him and tested him while not only making him independent and growing rapidly, but also making him develop a good habit of thinking well, planning and then acting.

Wang Qi took out his phone, woke up the screen, and used the faint light of the screen to look around, hoping to find something like a stick.

It's a pity that I searched for a long time, but I didn't find it, and the surroundings were clean, and I don't know if it was because of the high quality of the teachers and students in the school or because the cleaners were too loyal to their duties.

Wang Qi suddenly thought of the bamboo forest in front of him, the dense green bamboo is covered with oblique branches, many of which are not high, but they can be broken down as a "probing stick" to test the reality of the cube.

After a few minutes, the king got up and returned, and returned to the open grassy slope, but there was an extra bamboo branch seventy or eighty centimeters long in his hand. He didn't immediately poke the cube with the bamboo branch, but sat down cross-legged first, took two deep breaths, and then held his breath, then held the bamboo branch steadily, and slowly stretched it towards the cube in front of him inch by inch.

Half a meter, forty centimeters, thirty centimeters, twenty centimeters, ten centimeters, nine centimeters, eight centimeters...... The tip of the bamboo branch gets closer and closer to the cube, and finally only one centimeter remains. Wang Qi's mood became more and more nervous, his eyes opened wider and wider, and even the palm of his right hand holding the bamboo branch began to sweat.

The bamboo branch finally touches the boundary of the cube, and then "penetrates" the cube without any obstacles, and the right hand holding the bamboo branch does not get any force feedback, as if the cube in front of him does not exist.

He swept the bamboo branch up and down, left and right, so that the tip of the bamboo branch swept over the several bright edges that formed the cube, and the movements of his hands were still as smooth as silk, without any sluggishness of touching anything.

Wang Qi took out the bamboo branch, lit the screen of the mobile phone with his left hand, observed the condition of the bamboo branch with the help of the faint light of the screen, and found that the bamboo branch had not changed. Even the marks he drew with his fingernails on the tips of the bamboo branches were untouched, and no changes were visible.

He touched the bamboo branch with his hand and probed into the cube, and found that the temperature at the front end was not much different from the temperature at the back that did not enter.

"Could it be that this cube is really just a phantom projected in my mind, and has nothing to do with the real world?" Wang Qi frowned, biting his lip and thinking.

In order to confirm this more precisely, he took out the things on his body, such as mobile phones, keychains, wallets, etc., and took them and probed into the cube - of course, he only dared to pinch half of it, and only probed the other half in, but did not dare to put his whole hand in it together.

After trying all the items he could find for the time being, Wang Qi found that all the items had not changed and were intact.

With the foundation of the previous experiment, now, he finally dares to do the experiment with his own hands without taking any items.

So, after taking a deep breath, Wang Qi began to stretch out his right hand, but immediately replaced it with his left hand, and then bent the four fingers of his left hand, and only stretched out the little finger of his left hand and leaned forward. He thought so, if something really happened, it was obvious that the right hand was more important than the left hand, and the thumb, index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the left hand were more important than the little finger.

Actually, the safest thing to do is to take a rabbit or a cat to experiment, because all the objects he used just now are inanimate, or rather not animals, and if the cube does not react to non-living matter but only living matter, then his current temptation is an unnecessary risk.

But now Wang Qi really can't find any small animals for experimentation, and he is eager to know if this cube will be dangerous to him, so he can't care so much. He believed that as long as he was cautious and moved slowly tentatively, even if there was a guillotine in the cube, it would at most cut off the tip of the little finger of his left hand.

It's completely harmless!

The little fingertip of the left hand, like all the previous temptations, still passed through the cube without any pain, heat or cold, and entered the inside of the cube.

At first, Wang only let his little finger enter the cube for one centimeter and then took it out, and then used his mobile phone to observe the changes of the little finger, and after finding that the little finger did not change at all, his courage slowly increased, one centimeter, two centimeters, five fingers, the entire palm, wrist, and then the right hand......

The results of the experiment were exactly the same as the previous experiments.

At this point, Wang Qi can finally come to the conclusion:

The cube in front of him only existed in his consciousness.

Or, even if it does not exist in consciousness, it does not exist in the real world, and does not interfere with the real world in any way.

Wang Qi can even further deduce:

This cube that does not exist in reality is likely to be seen and perceived only by him.

Of course, whether this inference is correct or not needs to be further verified.
