CHAPTER XXXIV

When she opened her eyes, Ke Bei found that she had "dreamed" of the vast space filled with white lines before.

The surroundings are dark and quiet, and the white lines in the space are staggered and flowing, which looks mysterious and mysterious, but Ke Bei has already had an experience, and now she has lost her original curiosity, and she doesn't know if it's an illusion, she always feels that the white lines in the space seem to be ...... Less?

Don't ask her how she knows, she doesn't know.

Ke Bei was suspended above the void, looking at the white lines around her, she didn't know why she had a strange sense of security, she remembered that Dong Run had said that these white lines were actually flowing numbers, and her heart moved, and she reached out and pulled one of the white lines under her nose to observe it carefully.

She first saw the white line flowing slowly like a river, and when she got closer, she realized that this "river" was composed of a series of "0" and "1", and those strings were the computer binary program code that Dong Run said.

These zeros and zeros are connected end to end, floating in a specific direction, and from a distance they look like a stationary white line.

Ke Bei is a liberal arts student who has never been exposed to computer programs or anything like that, but when she looks at these flowing numbers up close, she inexplicably feels a sense of familiarity and dizziness!

Like Pygmalion's inexplicable affection for Gelati,[note (1)] Corbey felt as if she had fallen in love with the flowing numbers—like her lover, her free will, which she could not strip away at the beginning of her life.

Ke Bei was so intoxicated that she didn't know what it was going to be, when she suddenly heard someone calling her name. She was stunned for a moment, came back to her senses, and then turned around and met Dong Run's surprised gaze.

"You ......"

"You ...... too"

Both of them were stunned.

Ke Bei looked at her expectantly: "You are not the person I dreamed of, you are the real Dong Run with his own thoughts, right?" ”

Dong Run nodded coldly, "Why are you here too?" ”

"I want to know," Ke Bei shrugged a little depressedly, "what about you, why are you here?" ”

Dong Run: "Didn't I tell you before that as long as I am sleeping, I will come to this space." ”

Ke Bei sighed, "I almost forgot, your body should still be asleep in the hospital by now." ”

"I've been taken to the hospital?"

"Yes, but the doctor said your body is just asleep, it's fine," Ke Bei asked, "why are you in a coma?" Oh, and also, you told me earlier that my boyfriend had a problem, what's the problem? ”

Dong Run lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Do you remember that night when your boyfriend helped me do the test, and the helmet showed that the number was overloaded?" ”

“…… Of course I do. ”

Ke Bei was a little weak-hearted, thinking that Xie Mo was not human, and the brain waves might be different from ordinary people, Dong Run really found something......

Dong Run said: "The working principle of the helmet is to convert the biological impulses of the human body into electrical signals, and then compile them to be read by the computer, and then the computer will calculate and transmit the corresponding electrical signals back to the human body to achieve human-computer interaction. ”

Dong Run talked about what he liked, and suddenly became fanatical, "That night, after your boyfriend helped me do the test, I found that the program structure of my entire computer had changed, and it became more perfect and perfect......"

"Huh?" Ke Bei looked confused, how could she feel that she knew every word, but she couldn't understand it when put together.

Dong Run looked at Ke Bei with the expression of looking at a "stupid human", and then summed it up in one word: "It's your boyfriend who rewrote the program of my virtual helmet, and the program he rewrote is very good, and my virtual helmet has become more perfect." ”

Ke Bei sighed, "It's good if you just say that." ”

"But there is one thing," Dong Run said, "the program of the helmet can only be rewritten through the guò computer, but your boyfriend can directly rewrite the program through the guò helmet, which is completely impossible, unless ......"

"What?"

"Unless, your boyfriend isn't human."

"Oh...... Yes? Just kidding, what can he be if he's not human...... Hehe......"

Ke Bei felt that she was about to commit embarrassment.

Dong Run glanced at her lightly: "Do you know why I fainted?" ”

Colbe shook her head.

Dong Run: "I detected a piece of number jù left by your boyfriend in the helmet, and then I tried to decipher it, and I implanted this number jù into the helmet to see what would happen, and the result was ......"

Kebei: "What's wrong?" ”

"The helmet converted your boyfriend's number jù into a virtual reality image, and when I put it on, I saw that it was your boyfriend's...... A memory. ”

“…… Memory? Ke Bei was stunned, "What memory?" ”

Dong Run was silent suddenly, she lowered her head, as if she was in a daze, and I don't know how long it took before she smiled strangely and said, "The number contained in that memory is too huge for me to bear and faint, that's ...... Memories of the beginning of the world. ”

“…… The beginning of the world? ”

Ke Bei was confused again, at the beginning of the world? How could Xie Mo have memories of the beginning of the world?

Dong Run asked rhetorically: "Remember what we talked about before - the conjecture that the world we live in is virtual?" ”

Ke Bei: "Of course I remember, you said that our world may just be a computer simulation program, and we humans are actually just a number of ...... in a computer."

"yes, that's it." Dong Run's demeanor suddenly became unprecedentedly stern, "Ke Bei, I'm sure now that this is not a guess, but a fact. ”

Cobe was stunned, remembering that as early as the eighteenth century, Berkeley [note (3)] had questioned the existence of human beings, arguing that everything in the world "remains in God" and that human beings are merely the product of a thought or a will of God.

According to Dong Run's meaning, this "God" may be a huge computer. But if that's the case, then what do they usually see, touch, and feel? What is the meaning of human existence?

Cobe suddenly thought of Shakespeare's famous sentence - to save zài or not to save zài, which is the problem (Tobeornottobe, thatisthequestion.) [Note (4)].

And if human beings are really just an insignificant program or a piece of code in the virtual world, then it means that all their thoughts are actually set by the computer - you want to eat is not really you want to eat, but the computer makes you want to eat, and the person you fall in love with is not what you really love, but the computer makes you fall in love, and the decisions you think you make through self-awareness are actually premeditated and controlled......

You're not you, I'm not me.

Is this kind of "save zài" also considered to be save zài?

Ke Bei was a little unacceptable: "It's too, how do you know that we live in a virtual world?" ”

"How do you know?"

Dong Run glanced at the space covered with white lines, and then laughed sarcastically, saying, "I saw it, and I remembered it too......"

Ke Bei didn't know how to react at this time, so she could only ask blankly, "What did you see?" ”

Dong Run didn't answer, she was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, she seemed to remember something terrible, and her expression suddenly became hideous! Dong Run violently held his head with his hands, walking around the void nervously, and muttered to himself: "We are trapped, this world is not real, trapped......"

"Hey! Y-What's wrong with you? Ke Bei noticed that her demeanor was wrong, and hurriedly went up to grab her.

"I saw it, I saw it!"

Dong Run laughed to himself for a while like a nervous disorder, and then suddenly raised his head and looked at Ke Bei - there was inexplicable pleasure and crazy heat in his eyes, which made Ke Bei shiver inexplicably.

Then Dong Run suddenly turned his head over, and the two were extremely close to each other, eye to eye, nose to nose. Dong Run was in this posture, holding Ke Bei's head with his hands, and his eyes were directly looking at her.

Dong Run's strength was extremely strong, and Ke Bei felt that his cheeks were pressed in a faint pain, but he couldn't move.

Ke Bei stared at her so much that her scalp was numb, cold sweat broke out, and the whole person froze in place, and after a while, Ke Bei finally understood-Dong Run...... It's looking at her eyes.

At this time, Dong Run suddenly let go of her hand, she first stared at her hand a little blankly, and then her demeanor gradually returned to normal, as if it was just an illusion to go crazy just now.

Before Ke Bei could ask what was going on, Dong Run grabbed her arm and said with a solemn face, "It's too late, I still have some things to do, after you wake up, wait for my news!" ”

Kebei: "Huh? What does it mean? You can explain it clearly! ”

Dong Run didn't answer, just smiled meaningfully, and then her figure gradually became transparent, and a second before she disappeared, Dong Run looked at Ke Bei and suddenly screamed.

“Jean。”

Then Cobe woke up.

Zhou Nannan was half-kneeling on the ground, looking at her anxiously, "Beibei! Awake?! Are you alright? Can you speak? Or is there something uncomfortable? ”

Ke Bei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't tell which was reality and which was dream. She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses and found herself lying on the ground, and here she ......

Are they still in Wangfujing?

Ke Bei was stunned for a moment and asked Zhou Nannan: "How long have I fainted?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, but it's only two or three minutes."

Ke Bei was shocked, two or three minutes? She and Dong Run have been grinding in that space for so long, and only two or three minutes have passed in the real world?

Zhou Nannan: "What's wrong with you?" Why did you faint all of a sudden, but it scared me to death...... And before your eyes ......"

"What's wrong?"

Ke Bei remembered that before she fainted, Zhou Nannan looked at her frightened eyes and was also a little puzzled.

Zhou Nannan trembled and said: "Your eyes are glowing, green, like a wolf, I thought ...... Well, but I should have read it wrong, the situation was so urgent just now, it should be reflected by the green light at the emergency exit. ”

Ke Bei chuckled in her heart, she knew that Zhou Nannan was not mistaken, but in this case, she could only smile reluctantly: "It should be, I'm fine, it's not safe in the mall, let's go quickly." ”

The two of them went out of Wangfujing, only to find that the street was in chaos, and the road that was empty enough to dance the square dance was full of people at this time, Ke Bei overheard the conversation of several people, and was surprised to find that they were all talking about the sudden disappearance of people - some went to work, saying that it would be halfway through, and the boss was suddenly gone; There are also students in class, and the teacher suddenly disappears after less than ten minutes of class......

Zhou Nannan lowered his head and swiped Weibo and said, "Oh my God, Beibei! It turned out that we were not the only ones here, but many places in the country were just like us, and suddenly people disappeared! ”

Panic has already begun to spread.
