Prologue

Trembling, Sulfona awoke from a cold dream. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info does not feel any signs of the body's presence, nor does it perceive the reaction of anything around it. Apparently she hadn't found anything, but she was definitely awakened by something. After waking up, Sulfona felt a biting cold. The cold is a good thing, and being able to feel the cold proves that she is alive.

"You've finally woken up, guest wandering in the void. A voice woke up Sulfona, "Do you remember who you are?"

Sulfona fell into deep thought, and then she remembered that she had been drifting in the void for a long time. Fumiko and Sulfona, who were attracted into the universe by a magnetic satellite, lost the ability to return to Earth, and their minds stopped in the form of nanobots. The two people are constantly in dialogue to keep themselves alive. Otherwise, the extreme cold of the universe will make the molecules inert, causing them to gradually lose the ability to think and fall into eternal sleep. Soon after, Fumiko was gone. After holding on for a while, Sulfona also became groggy.

"Thank you for saving me. Sulfona turned her thoughts into electromagnetic waves and emitted them, "If it weren't for you, I would have seemed dead." ”

"There is nothing that does not die, you are an eternal being. The other party said indifferently, "It's good to be immersed in your own world forever, after all, this world is also full of monotony and boredom." ”

"Ah, you seem to think so, but I think it's really good to be alive. "You can save me, are you a god?"

In Sulfona's mind, only a god can awaken a soul in a mass of matter at absolute zero.

"I'm pretty much the same god as you think, I'm actually a rule. An enterprising race in the universe created me and used me to govern their race. But then they disappeared and I remained. You seem to have what you call 'God' powers, but I'm essentially just a machine. ”

"A machine?"

"That's right, I'm an equivalent switch. Maybe you haven't heard of this term, because the civilization you lived in before seemed to say that energy was spent on energy accumulation. You're doing a good job of that, but you're not looking at the relationship between matter and energy. ”

Sulfona was silent for a moment, she understood that God was saying that they were talking about too much technology for combat and military industry, and neglecting the truly meaningful exploration of the laws of nature.

"Your civilization must be very strong, can you point me out?" asked Sulfura modestly.

"There is nothing strong or not powerful, it seems that your thinking is still at the stage where you destroy me and I destroy you. The biggest enemy of any system is ourselves, we just know ourselves better than you do. God sighed, "You can't understand the thought that created my race. In simple terms. I'm a machine, I offer you something, and you have to offer the same to somebody else. Don't worry about default, what I offer you is like a debt, and you will be bound by the law of cause and effect to repay it irreversibly. ”

Sulfona's expression was a little stiff, she didn't expect that the equivalent switch turned out to be a machine similar to a forced buy and sell. But now she is in a desperate situation, and she must rely on the power of the equivalent switch.

"Then does it count as if you woke me up?"

"That's fine, but you've already paid the price. I woke you up just to speak to you, and in return you spoke to me. It was also my decision to wake you up, because I hadn't had a guest for too long. God explained, "Have you thought about it, do you need anything?"

"If I say, I want to know who I really are. Sulfona thought for a moment and said, "What price do I have to pay?"

"It seems that you have not understood clearly that the cost is not determined by me, but by the law of cause and effect. I am only responsible for fulfilling your wishes. God shrugged, "All I can give is some advice to help you pay the cost of the law of cause and effect." On the other hand, the question you are asking is a question that has been thinking about my race all my life, and it is beyond my capabilities. ”

"That's right...... Sure enough, you can't be so lazy. Sulfona sighed.

"I've found another higher consciousness imprinting on you, and you might want to think about it. ”

"Ah, that's ......" Sulfona thought of the young universe's instructions to her. Sulfona needs to return to the young universe with information from other universes, "Can you let me go back to that higher life?"

"It's easy, but at the cost of it you'll be coming back very quickly. God said, "I don't think it makes sense." ”

"You're right......"

After a moment's hesitation, Sulfona finally made a decision.

"Can you make me human again?"

"I can put you on a planet with a similar race, and it's not a sleepy place. ”

"At what cost?"

"You may owe something to that race, and to the person who gave you life. God thought for a moment and said, "Find a way to satisfy them, there is only so much help I can give." ”

As she spoke, she felt a cloud of light envelop her. She felt like she had passed through a narrow gap, and in the process, some insights melted into her thoughts. Sulfona suddenly felt that her surroundings were not so cold, and she could vaguely feel something. In Sulfona's perspective, God is like an old portrait, and Himself is like a diamond.

"I'm glad that you're starting to understand a little bit what the so-called equivalent exchange is. You'll learn more about the rules later in life. God smiled, "Go and pay your price." ”
