Chapter 315: I Gotta Lie
I said disdainfully: "What a titan python, I have never heard of it." I have seen the Burmese python, which is called the southern snake in our country, the python with a body as big as a piglet, when I was training in the field on the southwest border, I found a whole nest in a hole, this thing is not afraid of people, and I stole all the prey I hunted. If the company commander hadn't told me that it was a national protected animal, I would have chopped it and grilled snake skewers. In addition, I have heard of the Amazon Python, which is famous as one of the pythons!" I said, giving my cousin a thumbs up.
Then I continued: "I've also heard of ball pythons, which are those that curl up like balls when they are frightened. There are also reticulated pythons, red-tailed pythons, blood pythons, golden pythons, ......"
In one breath, I told my cousin all the pythons I knew, and then said, "Among so many pythons, I have never heard of any Titan pythons!
My cousin listened and nodded: "It's okay, I forgive you." It is very rare for an illiterate person like you to be able to count so many pythons in one go, and it is worth encouraging!"
Hey, you woman, put your nose on your face!
But I heard my cousin continue: "I'm here, but from the journal Nature, it seems that it was published in 11 years, saying that this is an ancient python that lived in the Paleocene, and the fossils were found in geological layers about 60 million to 50 million years ago, but now it has long been extinct. This kind of prehistoric python is extremely huge, far larger than the largest python species in the world today, the heaviest of the pythons, is only a few hundred catties, and this kind of titan python can weigh one or two tons. ”
Su Wu was surprised, and said, "There are one or two tons, how many catties is a ton, it seems to be a thousand catties...... No, it seems to be two thousand catties, one or two tons, so isn't it two or three thousand catties?"
My cousin nodded and affirmed Su Wu's arithmetic ability, and said: "Now you look at that kind of snake slave, we have seen several before and after, which one is not one or twenty meters long, and weighs several thousand pounds? Among the pythons we know in the world, which python can grow like this? That's why I think that this is the extinct ancient python Titan Python, the word 'Titan' means huge, and the Titan Python means a very huge python!"
I seized on a loophole in her words and sneered: "Sister, you have said that this is an extinct python, so why did we see it alive again? Don't tell me, we have traveled to the Paleocene that you said, right? We are now living 60 million years ago?"
My cousin said, "It's not impossible!"
I said, "What about the tigers and wolves we have seen? I remember that the one who lived 60 million years ago should not be the saber-toothed tiger, the ancestor of the tiger? Then how could there be a modern tiger? Don't you think it's a contradiction that the python of 60 million years ago and the modern tiger coexist on the same island?"
My cousin gave me a blank look, and was very dissatisfied with me, a guy who found fault with me! pondered for a moment, pondering how to justify himself, and after a long time, he said: "I have a bold idea, we are now, perhaps, living in such a parallel world, and the historical era here is basically parallel to our original earth world. It's just that in this world, the titan python is lucky not to become extinct, and at the same time it has evolved modern creatures. That's it!"
My cousin finished speaking of her conclusion with a serious face, and then her eyes swept over the faces of me and Su Wu and the others one by one, and said, "We must have reached another parallel time and space now, and we will never be able to go back to the original earth!"
When I heard this, I no longer contradicted my cousin, and said, "This is something that heroes see in the same way! In fact, a far-sighted and far-sighted person like me has already told you that we have crossed over, do you still doubt me? Don't say anything about the Titan Python, just talk about the three-headed snake on the mountain, think about it, such an unprecedented, sci-fi monster, if it lived in our world, it should have been discovered a long time ago! Modern satellites are not vegetarians, and everything within a few meters can be photographed for you, but can't you still find a monster as huge as a mountain here? If in our world, this island, has already become the world's most famous tourist attraction at this time, how can it still be like now? Just this big signboard on the mountain, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people climb up every day to watch and take pictures. At the same time, you may also feel the wonderful feeling of dragging people into a fantasy when this monster screams. ”
As soon as I talked about this three-headed snake controlling people, I suddenly remembered something, turned my head and asked Kexin: "Hey Kexin, what were you taken away by last night?"
But Xin was listening to me talk with her ears pricked up, but she didn't expect me to suddenly ask her a word, and she couldn't react for a while: "Ah, why was I taken away by something?"
I said, "Just last night, you left this camp in a daze when you slept, didn't you, and who is the person who has been luring you away in the illusion?"
Ke Xin paused for a moment and said, "Oh! The person in my dream is Brother Lele!"
Ahh
Hearing this, Kexin complained again: "I said Brother Lele, because I trusted you so much, you led me to the woods, caused me to swell my head, and then you threw me away!"
My face darkened: "That's not me! It's your own consciousness that is playing tricks, giving the illusion of being my image." ”
I stretched out my fingers curiously: "Sister, Su Wu, Qiu'er, Xia Xia, Kexin." Why are the five of you, the one in the illusion is me? Does this mean anything? Does that mean that all five of you have a fate with me?"
I almost want to say it, the five of you, are you all interested in me? As the saying goes, you think about it every day, and dream about it at night. Whoever I hope in my heart can be controlled by that monster and evolve into whose image.
The five women, too, heard what I was saying, and scolded me together: "It means that you are a big-headed ghost, it means nothing!"
Then he asked me rhetorically: "You said that you were also controlled, so who is that person in your illusion?"
I?
In my fantasy, it was Tian Qiuqiu at that time. Tian Qiuqiu is the woman I care about, and before going to bed, I eavesdropped on a confession she made to me when she was talking to her sister, and I was so moved that my mind was full of her appearance before I fell asleep. Then when controlled, it is natural to evolve into her image.
But looking at these women, each looking at me with a kind of hope, I felt that I couldn't tell the truth, I had to lie!
