Chapter 3 Nature is Unshakable
"Am I you?" Sun Suhe repeated, he was very sure that he heard every word of the other party, but he couldn't understand the other party's meaning at all, "What do you mean? Is this some kind of Zen art?"
"Hey, that's the literal meaning. However, this is really difficult to explain, so let me sort it out slowly. Remember what I said to you earlier? This is not alarmist. At least not in my memory. It won't be long before you're going to get involved in an event and die for it, but, your, huh...... The soul, or consciousness, did not disappear, but appeared in a baby from another world completely different from the earth. That's me. Alice pointed to herself and said, although her tone was flat, but there was a sense of loneliness in the world.
"As for why I'm here, I don't know. Anyway, if you think about the time of the earth, about three days ago, I was caught in an inexplicable explosion while participating in an expedition to an ancient ruin, and when I regained consciousness, I found myself on a mountain on the outskirts of the city. ”
"Hehe, Arabian Nights, you might as well say that we are both mentally ill, and I agree more. Sun Suhe said with a sneer.
"Of course, you'll think so, so, first of all, let me help you break down the stereotype. Alice gestured outside, "Do you feel like something is missing?" ”
Sun Suhe followed the direction of Alice's finger and turned his head to look, there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.
It's just that...... Sun Suhe gasped, he suddenly realized that it was a voice, from the moment he entered the noodle restaurant and sat down, his attention had been on the two people at this table, and he didn't even notice that the noise around him had completely disappeared without him noticing.
There were people coming and going on the street, there was a lot of traffic, but there was no sound, as if a silent movie was being played, the sun was still there, but the surroundings were so quiet that breathing could be heard, and a huge fear grew rapidly in Sun Suhe's bone marrow.
Alice clapped her hands, and the air around her seemed to vibrate slightly, and the sound of cars coming and going, the footsteps of pedestrians, the occasional birdsong, and other noises suddenly and cordially hit Sun Suhe's eardrum.
Sun Suhe poured a big sip of the drink, and a cool feeling penetrated through the internal organs. Even when what is known, seen, and heard becomes unreliable, the body's feelings remain honest signposts that never fail in their duties.
This tangible coolness made Sun Suhe feel as if he had finally grasped a solid rope in a fog. Taking advantage of this coolness and taking a few deep breaths, Sun Suhe finally calmed down his emotions a little.
Calm down, calm down, although my perception of the world has been shattered by the bombardment in a short period of time, as long as you keep your sanity, calm down, calm down, there is nothing terrible, and there is nothing incomprehensible.
Thoughts flowed, Sun Suhe carefully chewed on every word, every word, and every detail of the other party. However, how to sort it out. The worst thing is that the information asymmetry is too serious. The other party knows everything about me, but I don't know anything about the other party. Fear often comes from the unknown, and the tension and helplessness that grows deeper in the unknown adds up to this pressure.
After thinking about it, Sun Suhe decided to ask directly: "If what you said is true, then what are your plans next? Why did you come to me?"
"Hey, if I don't look for you, who else can I find?" Alice said, pulling out a card with a delicate pattern and patting the table, "This is not available here, I haven't eaten in three days." ”
"Uh, well, yes, that makes sense. Sun Suhe only felt that a punch had hit the cotton, and he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, "I didn't want to ask this." ”
"Is there anything more important than eating?" Alice laughed, "As for the next plan, I don't have a complete plan yet." By the way, do you have any other questions? I'll answer them all for you. ”
Sun Suhe rubbed his head, he wanted to ask too much, and he didn't know what to ask all of a sudden. He sorted out his thoughts, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Do you remember the plot of the movie The Matrix?"
Alice was a little surprised, "The Matrix? Oh, remember, I've got a special sort of memories from before." ”
Sun Su clasped his hands into fists, hung them on his chest, and said, "Remember the classic plot where the hacker Memphis asked the protagonist Neo to choose between the red and blue pills. The blue pill, after taking it, forget everything, return to the virtual world of the matrix structure and enjoy a false but stable life. The red pill, after taking it, knows the truth, and struggles in the cruel real world. So suppose I have a blue pill in my left hand and a red pill in my right hand, what will you choose?"
"What will I choose?" Alice pondered for a moment and stretched out her hand to Sun Suhe's right hand, "If you just answer this question, the red pill is obviously a more appropriate answer. Because choosing the red pill embodies the positive qualities of bravery, not being afraid of power, pursuing freedom, etc., haha, while choosing the blue pill is equivalent to linking it to the negative qualities of reluctance and cowardice. Of course, this is also the choice of the protagonist. ”
As she spoke, Alice pointed her finger at Sun Suhe's left hand and said, "However, if you really face such a choice, if you consider it rationally, it is obviously more reasonable and safer to choose the blue pill." The red pill means infinite risk, and the moon in the mirror is generally illusory, while the blue pill is almost risky, and the return is also predictable. To be honest, I can't think of any reason not to choose the blue pill, after all, I don't have the aura of the protagonist. ”
"But," Alice paused, rested her finger on Sun Suhe's left hand, and said categorically, "If I really face this choice, I'm afraid that the final choice will be the red pill." ”
"Why?" asked Sun Suhe.
"There is no why, if you ask me why I chose the blue pill, I can give you ten thousand reasons, but why did I choose the red pill, how to say it, if you have to say it, this is probably my nature. In normal times, it is natural to calculate the gains and losses, but when it really comes to that time, no matter what risks and benefits he has, he would rather die than survive. ”
Sun Suhe was silent for a moment, pondering Alice's answer. Nature?
As dusk approached, the sun lit the air in a dim hue, and the number of customers in the shop gradually increased. Sun Suhe stood up. "Let's go home, this is not the place to talk. ”
Alice straightened her clothes, picked up the hat that was put aside and said, "Let's go, I also want to take a shower right away, I feel like I haven't taken a shower for a long time, and my whole body is so uncomfortable." Eh, by the way, why did you suddenly think to ask this? ”
"I also made an impromptu idea, do you remember the famous line that Memphis lobbied Neo? Choose the red pill, and I will show you how deep the rabbit hole is. This slang phrase, like your name, has something to do with Alice in Wonderland. Sun Suhe bit his lip and continued: "I deliberately didn't think about the answer to this question at that time. Hey, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. It's crazy. ”
