CHAPTER XXVI

Dong Run walked down the steps of the library, just in front of Ke Bei's straight eyes.

The two seemed to have some kind of inexplicable telepathy, and looked at each other silently for a while.

Dong Run's expression was very strange, as if he was confused, and he seemed to be surprised, and the thick lenses blocked half of her face, making it difficult to distinguish her expression.

After a long time, Ke Bei heard Dong Run say something that shocked her-

"We ...... Did you see it in a dream a few days ago? Dong Run said with some uncertainty.

Ke Bei was stunned, and subconsciously took over: "In ...... A, well, a lot of space, it's all white thin lines, you, you still call me......

Dong Run nodded.

Ke Bei was instantly stunned - her dream of Dong Run could be said to be a coincidence, but the space full of lines that Dong Run said, and the fact that she said "seen", the two "met" in the dream, showed that this was a mutual process, not Ke Bei's unilateral dream.

Dong Run raised his hand and looked at his watch, and then said, "I'm hungry." ”

"Huh?"

Ke Bei didn't react.

"I haven't eaten for two days," Dong Run beckoned, using that kind of gesture to summon a puppy, "Let's go, let's go and eat and chat." ”

Good taste is a restaurant at the main entrance of the university, the things are cheap and delicious, it is only four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are already many people in the restaurant. picked a relatively secluded corner, Dong Run ordered a big bowl of beef noodles, and by the way, he also ordered a bowl for Ke Bei.

Ke Bei is so curious now, how can she be in the mood to eat any noodles, she has been looking at Dong Run with a blank eye, but thinking that people haven't eaten for two days, it's hard to speak.

Dong Run didn't care about her, and ate beef noodles without saying a word, the fragrance wafted over with the heat, making Ke Bei also hungry, and finally the two of them sighed and snorted together with chopsticks.

After eating the noodles, Ke Bei picked up the bowl with satisfaction and was just about to drink the rich beef soup when she heard Dong Run say, "Tell me what your situation is." ”

Ke Bei perked up, put down the bowl and carefully described the dream to Dong Run.

Kebei: "...... That's basically it, but what about you? Did you also have such a dream? And, how would you know, uh...... The 'me' in your dreams is mine? And since you know that 'me' is me, why didn't you tell me in your dreams at that time? ”

There are too many questions, and Ke Bei is already a little incoherent when he says it.

If normal people dream of acquaintances, they usually don't equate the acquaintances in the dream with the acquaintances in reality, after all, dreams are self-shaped and originate from subjective imagination, but according to Dong Run's meaning just now, it seems that their dreams are a connected whole, and they can meet in their dreams as if they were in reality.

"It's not the first time I've dreamed of that huge space," Dong Run took a slow sip of water, "For as long as I can remember, as long as I sleep, I will dream of it." ”

Ke Bei looked at her in surprise.

Dong Run: "What I dreamed of is different from you, in that space, you can move freely, but my movements seem to be somewhat restricted, and I can only float aimlessly according to a specific route, there is nothing but white lines, you are the first person I met in that space, and your eyes were wrong when you saw me just now, so I made a bold guess......" She actually asked Ke Bei with the idea of trying it out, but she didn't expect her to guess correctly.

Dong Run frowned, his expression solemn: "And I think it's not a dream." ”

Ke Bei asked stupidly, "...... What do you mean? ”

Dong Run didn't answer, but asked her rhetorically: "You said you could touch those white lines?" ”

Ke Bei nodded.

She will never forget the memories of others she saw when she touched those white lines, or the whole life experience of others—those lives she had participated in, or even those she had not participated in, were as naked in front of her as in the movies, as if she was standing at a higher angle to look down on other people's lives.

Dong Run pondered for a moment and said, "I have never touched those white lines, every time I want to touch them, those white lines will pass through my hands like an illusion, and ...... To be exact, those white lines are not white lines. ”

"That'...... Does that mean only I can touch it? It's not a white line...... What is that? Ke Bei was dazed for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes, when I looked closely, I found that those lines were flowing!" ”

Dong Run glanced at her, "Although I can't touch it, I have been observing those lines for a long time, and those flowing and interlaced lines are actually composed of computer programs compiled from binary code, because there are too many fonts and small fonts, and those program codes are connected in the first place, so if you don't look closely, you will feel like thin lines." ”

It's like when you take a book far away, because of visual limitations, you will see that the lines of words on the page are all thick black lines.

Ke Bei was stupid again, with a look of "What the hell?" "Those white lines are codes?" ”

Dong Run nodded: "The countless thin lines filled with that space are actually countless programs, if you want to compare it, it is like a computer hard disk storing countless numbers, it should be a huge computer number library." ”

Dong Run helped his glasses: "Before I met you, I always thought it was a 'dream', I didn't know what that space was when I was a child, and when I grew up and learned computers, I guessed that maybe just like Mendeleev invented the periodic table in his sleep, I am more talented in computers, so I will 'dream' of such a strange space, but ......"

Dong Run paused, and then said, "Just now you said that you can touch those flowing numbers, and you can also see the memories of others from the numbers......"

Ke Bei nodded hurriedly: "Well, I have a friend named Zhou Nannan, at that time I saw all the things she has gone through from birth to the present, and there are some things that I don't know at all, but then I asked Nan Nan tentatively and found that these things are true!" Oh, and there's a voice in that space that says to me, those white lines, uh...... The number jù, not the memories of those people I saw, but what, uh, is them themselves, and I don't understand what they mean. ”

That's right, that's not a dream at all, dreams are all fiction based on subjective imagination, how can you see other people's lives? Unless you have superpowers. ”

Dong Run's lenses reflected a burst of cold light: "We should have entered that space for some reason, and according to you, those numbers represent themselves, that is, they represent people themselves...... So try to imagine that if a person's life is actually just a number jù stored in the computer, then the white line we see in that space is actually a human number jù library. ”

After Ke Bei heard this, the whole person was stunned - the number of human beings? What does it mean? According to Dong Run's meaning, if human beings are just counting jù, then what is the world they live in, a computer?

Ke Bei thought so, and subconsciously said so.

Dong Run suddenly laughed, and the big buck teeth glistened in the greasy light: "Who said there is no such possibility?" ”

Ke Bei was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a while, and then considered it and said, "Then according to what you say...... If a person is a program, is it possible to have a past and present life? Or something like traveling through parallel spaces in the novel, such as a maid in England in a previous life, a magician in the wizarding world, or a vampire or something, oh, or even flowers and plants......"

Ke Bei originally wanted to talk about buns, but fortunately stopped his mouth in time.

Dong Run smiled mockingly: "Past and present lives? I am a materialist and have never believed in non-scientific things. But......" She dragged her chin with one hand, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Remember that virtual reality headset I asked you to help test?" ”

Ke Bei nodded, of course she remembered, that time really let her see the black technology.

Dong Run took a sip of water and continued: "You may not know if you don't learn this, no VR technology on the market [Note (1)] can compare with my headset, and the core code I used to develop this helmet is the space I got from the 'dream' - the inspiration I got from those flowing program codes, you can never imagine what those codes mean, sometimes I even think that it is technology that does not belong to human beings!" ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to be a little excited, the light from her eyes could not be blocked by her glasses, "You have also seen the scene simulated by that virtual reality helmet, how do you feel?" ”

Kebei: "Uh...... In addition to the occasional blurring of the scene, there is also the fact that the sense of smell is sometimes limited, which is no different from the real world. ”

Dong Run smiled: "My purpose is to construct a real world, and I also have an interesting idea. ”

Under her heavy glasses, there seemed to be some meaningful colors, "I can construct multiple worlds, and the elements of each world are different, a bit like the magical world you said, the fantasy world and the like, but these worlds are parallel and opposed, and they are not related to each other. Imagine that if a human being is really just a string of code, then if I put one person's code in a different world, then that person can ......"

Ke Bei took over in a daze: "That person can travel between different worlds......

Dong Run's expression was teachable, "In that case, the time travel you are talking about, or the past and present lives, is not impossible." ”

Ke Bei was shocked by this inference, in general, the world they live in may not be real, but a program run by a big computer, and human beings are just a few pieces of code in the computer. And there may be more than one computer in time and space, but there are many computers that have constructed a lot of worlds, if you want to travel through time and space, then you only need to take a USB to copy the program about you on this computer to another computer, it's so awesome, it's that simple!

Nima, isn't this the real-life version of "The Matrix"!

Ke Bei felt that her 21 years had been in vain, and her worldview had been overthrown, reconstructed, overthrown, and rebuilt countless times in more than two months-she thought her life was a horror movie at first, until she saw Xie Mo's own body, and then she found that her world was full of fantasy, and now, if Dong Run's inference is true, what is it...... She turned out to be in the branch! Fantasy! Frequently! Road!

Don't abuse QAQ like this

In fact, these are just Dong Run's speculations, just like when everyone usually talks about aliens, they always make some baseless speculations, there is no convincing and conclusive evidence, the only basis is the strange "dream" and the brains of the two people, but Ke Bei has an inexplicable sense of convincing about this speculation.

Ke Bei was silent for a long time, and suddenly thought of a question again: "By the way, in that 'dream', you seem to call me Jenning or something, hey, it's a name I haven't heard before, what does it mean?" ”

“Jean.” Dong Run's pronunciation is standard and mellow, and the words are clear, "When I called you 'Jean' at the time, it was completely subconscious, and there was an impulse in my mind for me to do this, and then I did it, but then I don't know why I called you like that." ”

"Huh?"

Ke Bei was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration felt that Dong Run's matter, after she touched Xie Mo's body before, entered a memory illusion and could not control her body, which was a little similar.

"I've checked," said Dong Run, "Jean, Keane, the meaning is -- God of mercy." ”

Keane? Merciful God?

What the heck?!

Ke Bei was depressed and wanted to ask again, Dong Run's mobile phone rang suddenly, she picked it up and said a few words, and then hurriedly stood up and said to Ke Bei: "There is something wrong with the computer in the real room, I want to go back, I am in the real room from Monday to Thursday afternoon, if there is anything you can come to me again, I will invite you this time." ”

After saying that, he put down the money and hurriedly ran.

Leaving Ke Bei to stay where she was with a confused face - her pants are all off, and you will show me this?!

Ke Bei depressed out of the good smell, found that the sky was already a little dark, this should be the rush hour after work, the road was blocked like a sewer in disrepair, everywhere was the sound of car horns, she just turned around to walk to the bus stop, she heard someone behind her shouting her: "Beibei!" ”

Ke Bei turned around and saw Xie Mo riding his old two-eight, turning around the sidewalk towards her. His background is the noisy four-wheeled car stream and the dazzling red sunset, the handsome face seems to be dyed with the old orange and yellow of the West, and the very modern whistle and the old Erba seem to be the collision of the times, which makes Ke Bei have a sense of "going through the years" of literature and art.

Ke Bei froze in place, watching Xie Mo jump off the bike, only to see him lower his head, and then sniff next to Ke Bei's neck.

Ke Bei blushed and pushed him away: "Why are you here, there are so many people, you pay attention to your image......"

"I've been waiting at home for a long time, and you haven't come back," Xie Mo frowned, as if he was a little aggrieved, "You ate with someone else, don't follow me!" ”

Ke Bei: "......"

――Help QAQ, I knew that Xiao Xinxin was an illusion!
