Chapter 50: The Postman
I don't remember how many rooms Liyue took us to, he said absent-mindedly, and I listened absent-mindedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The trip was too cruel for me.
The world, which had been stable since I was a child, suddenly showed an absurd face, and it laughed at my ignorance.
If only I could continue to be that world-weary, lonely, self-explanatory high school student who thinks he is unique and sees everything. I can continue to bask day and night in the pain of being out of place with the world, despise the fools around me who are less cheap than deworming, and enjoy the adoration of those whose brains will crash when they talk a little about advanced topics. I will spend half a month thinking about the meaning of existence, and another half month worshipping death. I will read all the books that my peers do not want to read and cannot read, and show the covers of books wherever they can see, mocking their low ability to perceive. I also want to list my mother as the adult I hate the most, to distance myself from the pompous society she represents, and to point to her nose and say that the last thing I want to be in the future is a vulgar thing like you.
But now, everything is shattered by these damn aliens.
I became an idiot who didn't even know the gender of my relatives, and lived a complacent life.
The woman I longed for the most might be my father, and was this my mother's greatest revenge for me in the so-called rebellious period?
I couldn't control the concussions of my brain, and for so long, no matter how outrageous the situation was, I had maintained the courage of a calm man, but now, I wanted to throw things like an ordinary person, go crazy, yell at Lao Tzu to quit, and then find anyone to fight hard until I lay down in the hospital.
"This is what I just said, the device used to communicate with the Son of God."
This person even has the same voice as Sister Secy.
"I can understand your feelings, but now you need to calm down, we're close to success?" M6-2 walked over and whispered to me.
Oh, how can you noble aliens understand.
The M6 next to me didn't intend to pay attention to my state at all, and talked to Liyue with a serious face.
"By the way, have you tried to send them an unsolicited message?"
"I've tried it, but I've never received a response."
"I think we can try again." M6 approached Liyue and touched the hexahedron with his hand.
Her behavior was just a cover, and I could clearly see that she pretended to inadvertently pull out a hair of Liyue, and Liyue was completely unaware of it.
"You're done sending?"
"Well, 'F5'."
"What do you mean?"
"Yes, I'm just sending it over and trying it out, don't care."
Yes, she just wanted to take the opportunity to sample his hair.
"Ning 08, they seem to be back." M6-2 alerted, and M6 rushed to the door.
The first to walk in was Ning 08, who looked thoughtfully at the ground, avoiding eye contact with anyone. The R5 who followed closely behind was stopped by the M6 before he could walk in the door. They seemed to be discussing something in the same way that the Van Xi people themselves communicated. The last one to walk in was the M6.
"I think, that's all for today, it's time for us to go back. Although I made a camouflaged position signal, it would be suspicious to stay in the same place for too long. β
"Okay, then finally I want to understand, your attitude towards this matter is ......" Li Yue leaned down slightly.
"Of course I agree," M6 immediately agreed, "and we are willing to cooperate with you fully, and we choose to support your alternatives." β
"That is, to support me to continue the genetic fusion of humans and spores?"
"Yes, you can get out by taking that elevator just now, right?"
"I'll take you out."
Although Li Yue said so, from the time we walked to the elevator to the time we left the underground research institute, he walked at the end with Ning 08, and he didn't know what he was whispering. And I, just want to keep him from appearing in my field of vision as much as possible.
Arriving at the door, M6 suddenly proposed to split up, "M6-2, you move with Ning 08, Aya 17, you follow me." β
"Why?"
"The camouflage location signals I've set for you are separate. Okay, don't waste any more time, let's go. β
M6 dragged me and R5 to the entrance of the underground cavern, and I pressed the emergency return button almost as soon as I landed in order to escape as quickly as possible.
When I got back to the sub-chamber, I didn't want to leave the sleep pod at all, I wanted to just lie down and fall asleep, and then I could escape what had just happened.
However, M6 didn't give me that chance, and she rudely knocked on the hatch, urging me to get up. In the past, she always looked in a bad mood and angry, but now she is like a miser who has won the lottery jackpot.
"Come out, let's find a place to sort out the information."
Reluctantly, I lifted the hatch and climbed out of it, walking straight past her to M6-2.
"What about Ning 08?" I asked.
"It seems ......" M6-2 looked distracted, and there was no doubt that something had happened again.
"Why do you lose her every time?" I couldn't control my volume.
"Let's talk in a different place." M6 grabbed me.
I shook her hand away, "I'll go back to her." β
M6 didn't give me a chance, she grabbed me by the collar, and I was about to struggle when my elbow hit the hard wall - I had been teleported somewhere else.
In this place, there is only a gray wall that stretches forward indefinitely, and it is impossible to see how high it is or how wide it is. I don't know if I'm standing outside or inside the wall, on the other side of the wall, with only an infinite stretch of blinding white.
"This is the end of the human activity zone, we can talk freely without worrying about being wiretapped, otherwise everything will be ruined by your uncoolness." The M6 still hasn't let go of its hands.
"Let go of me."
"I can assure you that Ning 08 doesn't have any security issues." M6-2 tried to reassure me.
"Here we go again." I knocked her hand off, "So what did you do?" β
"Your father has been found, what are you waiting for?" The M6 is also a few degrees louder.
"You're doing this to give them a chance to be alone?"
"How else can I make your mother fall in love with him?"
"Why do you have to fall in love with him? It is possible to extract his sperm and then ......"
M6 interrupted me impatiently, "-Sperm that has fused with the saddle cannot be inseminated. β
"That's okay......"
"And let your mother sleep with someone she doesn't love for you? Based on what you know about your mother, is she willing to do this, who usually hates being touched by men so much, and has never been in love when she grows so old? β
I was speechless for a moment.
"I've tried all the ways I can, and Ayare, but your mother is such a stubborn premarital chastity, can't you let her sleep with R5? Or do you want me to be more simply, just dove her and Liyue directly, and lock them up in a room? I can do that. β
"Liyue doesn't have to be my dad...... I think ......"
"Not necessarily? Tell me, who is Sisi? β
"It's my mother's female friend, we share a house......" I took a deep breath, "Well, she's been living with my mother and me for many years, and it's true that Sister Sesi is like a family member to me, but ......"
"Isn't it more likely that he's your dad?" M6 laughed dumbly.
"But...... There are other possibilities ......"
"There's no other possibility, I've just compared the data of his hair, and it's him."
"No...... Sister Cesi should be a woman......"
"Are you sure she's a woman? Have you ever seen her take a bath? β
"No...... But if it's a man, why doesn't my mother marry him? If I really am his son, then I am not ......"
Bastard.
Indeed, the reason for the divorce of my other "father" and mother is also ......
"Now is not the time for you to be willful, whether it is an illegitimate child or a legitimate child, the most important thing is that you must exist!"
"I don't know," my voice unconsciously loudened, "if my parents' marriage was an unfortunate mistake, why should I repeat it?" β
"So it's okay if you disappear?"
"Ning 08 likes R5, and R5 likes Ning 08, why should we be the villains who break them up?"
"Why bother? Villain? What are you crazy about? β
"I don't know, maybe if I disappear, I'll disappear, anyway, I don't have any purpose in living."
Syllable.
With a gust of wind, there was a hot feeling on the left side of my face, and I could feel that it was a slap with all my might, so it turned out that there would be pain in the sub-gap?
After slapping the palm, tears began to fall from M6's face, and M6-2 tried to comfort her, but her own body seemed to be slowly becoming transparent. I don't understand why she's crying like this, and I don't know how to comfort her.
"After all, why are you so obsessed with this? Or...... Can we look for a solution from a different angle? Now, as long as there is a gap between the sub-gaps, as long as the human beings on the earth are still in a cocoon, our time is actually static, we are equal to living in the gap of time, and every moment is forever. You've seen what Team 1 is doing, right? The problem of the Yuan Gate could not be solved in a short period of time, so they put it on hold indefinitely and used this infinite time to develop other science and technology. It's the same with Ritsuki, because his time is still and he has endless time to do the research he wishes. Am I living here at this moment? It's not the normal timeline of me, but it's a part of me. What's in it for me to solve the problem here and go back to the future? Will I be happier? Am I going to go back to the future after I ruined my mother's love with my own hands, and see her and her father have an unhappy marriage and then cheat and divorce? It would be better to build a new life here. β
"So, you've also been assimilated by that false heaven?" She tugged at my collar feebly.
"You've been watching the monkey show for so long, you should be satisfied, right?" I smiled wryly and pleaded, "Leave me alone."
"Monkey ...... Play? She grabbed my hand and shook it and drooped down, "So you always thought I was watching a monkey show?" β
This should have been a rebuke, but in the end, it came out of her mouth in a begging tone. Her hair began to glow purple in the dim light of the cavern, and the figure of M6-2 began to fade and fade.
"I've been looking forward to going back every day since I was taken away by you, but every day is an endless trouble, you must think it's funny to see humanity struggling like this, right? It's different now, I've found plenty of reasons to stay here, and I'm not going to let you-"
"βIs the reason for the Hundred Walls?" She kept her head down.
"Is that her?" She asked aloud again.
"Yes." I say.
"Ha, haha." M6 fell to his knees.
The current state of the M6 made me uncomfortable, and I wasn't sure if I could leave now, but the M6-2 held me back.
"How did you become transparent," M6-2's legs were slowly disappearing, which was by no means an illusion on my part.
"Another meaning of the so-called 'personality correction program' is the 'emotional storage program'. When the emotional ups and downs of the M6 are out of control, it means that my function has failed, and it is time for me to disappear. β
"Functional? Wait, this is ......"
"Before I disappear, can you tell me something that M6 can't say?"
"M6-2, it doesn't make sense anymore. I'm sorry. M6 tugged at the corners of her skirt wearily.
"No, think of it as my last bit of role, after all, it's my raison d'Γͺtre." M6-2 turned to me, "It's going to be a bit of a long story." β
"Van Si is probably the most special race of cosmic creatures known to date, with one view that we are on the verge of disappearing and another view that we are nearing the ******. From a human point of view, we are dissipating, gradually losing ourselves, and the basic unit that originally constituted us was the skull, and now the skull is showing signs of continuing to divide. Some of the Brahmans believe that if this continues, we will eventually lose our self-consciousness completely, and become the most basic constituent matter of the universe, which will be aggregated into the universe itself. For this trend, our planet is divided into two factions, one agrees, believing that this is the ultimate result of the evolution of all living things, the most ideal result, and also an affirmation of the supremacy of the Vaticans, because we have become the will of the universe itself, and the representative of this view is our father A1. On the other hand, the representative of this school of thought is R5, who believe that the Brahman must find a way to block this trend and keep the self, because without the self is equivalent to nothingness and disappearance. In search of this solution, R5 traveled to many planets, contacting different cultures on each planet, trying to find a way to preserve the Van Xi race. Eventually, he found Earth.
R5, having looked at the entire history of mankind, believes that there are parallels between this history and ours. We had evolved from a similar civilization to the present point, so he felt that if we looked further at human history, we would definitely find a solution to the problem of the continuation of our race. There is an infectious disease on Earth, which is what you humans call love. During his stay on Earth, he contracted this disease, and the object was your mother. He then discovered that human reproduction is divided into two situations, one based on survival instinct and the other on 'love'. 'Love' made him find the urge to 'separate' a new individual from his body that he had never felt before, and he thought that this would be the key to continuing the race, so he returned to Van Xi to report the matter, and you know the rest of the matter, he didn't meet your mother on time.
In fact, this kind of thing has happened countless times. In the midst of these 'countless times', he finally overcame the obstacle and was with your mother. Only once, he failed, A1's obstruction succeeded, and then, you were born. At that time, R5, which could no longer 'modify' this result, was disheartened, so M6 was 'separated'. M6 is the product of his eagerness to put aside the contagion, but M6 only exists in the timeline of the Van Xi Star when R5 failed. Ordinary Van Xi people can have regular contact with themselves from alternate worlds, but M6 can't, because she is the only Van Xi Star who only exists in a certain timeline.
Because of this, ordinary Van Xi people can't travel horizontally in the parallel world of Van Xi, but M6 can. A1 sends her to stop R5 from all other worlds, telling her that this is to protect the continuation of the 'race'. The M6 does not have the same flexible longitudinal jumping ability as the R5, and she can only 'jump' towards the place where the 'jump factor' is the largest at a time, so she is always a little later than him. As a result, the M6 not only failed to succeed, but also could not find its way back. She became a wanderer wandering in parallel worlds. In the course of this cycle, she also contracted the disease of your earth, and the subject ...... "M6-2 paused, but I already understood who she was talking about.
"You're not the first person we know named Waayare. Three thousand nine hundred eighty nine thousand five hundred fifty five thousand six hundred eighty-five, that's the number of humans M6 has ever seen, the number of humans named Waayarei, the number of timelines we've visited, and the number of times we've failed. The R5 of these timelines directly blocks the possibility of your parents meeting, so we never had a chance to find your father. The lower half of M6-2's body has completely disappeared, but she continues, "You are a new person named Waayari in each timeline, and you need to repeat the process of going from strange to familiar with M6, but for M6, you are always you, and she must constantly go through the cycle of reuniting with you and watching you disappear." Soon, she starts to break down because she can't continue her mission, but if she stops, then you will never be able to exist. β
"I'm not that noble," M6 hugged M6-2 as they hugged their heads, and their bodies began to slowly merge together, "I'm in the same situation as yours, once R5 is with your mother, he won't 'separate' me from that sense of loss, then I'll disappear from this Van Xi timeline, and I can jump to the next timeline before I disappear." But you don't have that choice. β
So, she imitated R5 and separated me as a container for her feelings for you. Because she only exists in a timeline, she can't be regarded as a complete Van Xi Xing, and the 'separation' she can do is very limited, so I'm just an emotional gate for M6. In this way, she will be able to use you as a tool without mercy, so that she will have the courage to face failure after failure, and she will continue to re-engage in the next hopeless attempt. M6-2's face became more and more transparent, "This time, it's a miracle, this is the only line where R5 has no memory and can't communicate with itself in the parallel world, this is our only chance." You can't stay here forever, R5's memories have gradually returned, and we have to hurry...... Don't give up...... Please, don't ......"
M6-2 disappeared completely, or rather, she completely merged with M6 again. The M6 standing in front of me at the moment was the girl who invited me to dance that night. She pressed closer to me until I was pressed against the cave wall by her body, "I was exiled to the timeline and wandered, but I was unlucky, but I was infected with the same disease as R5, and it turned this into a torture. Now, I finally see hope. Even in this world where you have the only possibility of existence, it doesn't matter if you fall in love with someone else, I just need to store my feelings with M6-2! However...... "She reached out and grabbed my neck with all her might, and in her eyes there was nothing but pain and madness and a transparent stream called powerlessness, as if she wanted to vent all the intense emotions she had suffered from the countless previous cycles at once. "I can't pass up this opportunity again, you know? I don't care if I'm gone or not, but if you don't even care about all of this, then what is all my previous efforts? I will achieve the goal, and I will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal! Even if it will make you hate me for the rest of my life, I will not give up! I've sworn that I will never let my weak side appear again, you're just a prop, I don't care what the props are thinking, it doesn't matter to me whether you want to go back or not, I'll let you go back, you don't have the right to choose! β
It didn't take long for her to finally calm down, let go of her grip on my neck, and rudely pushed me aside.
"Forget it, what's the point of me doing this," she tried to pat her face again, trying to regain that lofty expression, but all I saw was a tired girl, "Forget it, forget about it, as if nothing had happened." It was only 3909800000060006 failures. β
She bit her lip and turned away, and I tried to hold her, but I could only pale and apologize to her.
"I'm sorry."
As she shifted, I heard my own voice echo lonely by the walls.
Probably, she wouldn't want to hear it.
