Chapter 6 Foresters in the Clay Zone
"May I ask you are Wang Hu?" Entering the door, Zhang Xue asked condescendingly.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Tan behind him knew that he had made a big mistake, and he shouldn't have listened to Zhang Xue bring her today!
Zhang Tan's sister Zhang Xue has a slight mental illness, of course, it is not the kind of mania that beats people everywhere, but always lives in fantasy, and some can't tell the line between reality and fantasy.
Generally speaking, only small children have this kind of cognitive confusion. The family also thought that it would be good when she grew up, but she didn't expect Zhang Xue to become serious when she grew up, she firmly believed that the fantasy was all true!
About aliens about the destruction of the earth or something...... The content is always changing, and there are no duplicates.
The family had no choice but to try to follow her.
And Zhang Xue is also a good boy, except for this, nothing else makes trouble for others.
Except for the fact that he loves to fantasize, he is no different from a normal person. When she knew that others didn't approve of her ideas, she silently hid them all and wouldn't talk about them even her best friends except for her family...... This made the family even more distressed.
This time, Zhang Tan was transferred to Frankfurt as a military attache of the embassy, and Zhang Xue came over under the pretext that she wanted to travel to Europe to relax.
Rather than worried, the family was fully supportive. As a result, after arriving here, Zhang Xue stayed in Zhang Tan's apartment and did not go out, and then suddenly asked Zhang Tan to cooperate with her in the name of a diplomat to investigate a compatriot who came to Germany to work.
Zhang Tan had nothing to do when he first arrived in Frankfurt, and Zhang Xue said that the person to be investigated had a nose and eyes, and said that this person had a great relationship with his illness - this was the first time that Zhang Xue's fantasy had been linked to reality!
Out of concern about his sister's condition and safety considerations, Zhang Tan still helped out.
But how did he think that his good little sister would let herself go out so much - the "my dad is the deputy department" in front of him and the opening remarks like interrogating suspects now - just four big words, "bullying"!
Zhang Tan is really bitter, he feels that his job is afraid of being yellow, and a "major punishment" is beckoning to him......
*****
Zhang Xue's momentum is very strong, and at the same time, she looks at "Zhuang Fat" condescendingly with a scrutinizing gaze, which is exactly the same as the decent policemen in the movie.
In fact, she was learning from her father.
"No, you're looking for the wrong person, I'm not." How do you know that the yellow version of O'Neill drooped his eyelids, and shook his head directly without raising his head to deny.
"But that's not what you said on the embassy registration file." Zhang Xue took out a few pieces of A4 paper from her bag and waved them twice in front of him proudly. There are copies of ID cards, passports and some registration materials on it, and the photos are obviously "fat" himself.
It's just that the photo doesn't have the impact of looking directly at me.
Zhang Tan's eyes widened, and he only felt that a black cauldron flew towards him and buckled firmly on his head!
I'm not, I don't, it's not me!
He was tempted to argue that he had not provided the information...... But someone has to believe it.
"Your staff is really not serious and rigorous." Zhuang Fat pointed to the name on the copy, and said in that tone, "Look carefully, look carefully, don't miss a word!" The names I filled in above are clearly Wang, Lao, and Tiger! Xiao Erhei got married, and Wang Laohu robbed the kiss!
These are three words, and Wang Hu is two words.
Girl, not only are you not good at German, but you also almost mean Chinese. β
Wang Laohu...... Well, it's actually Wang Hu.
Look at the prompt of the "human death" system out of the corner of your eye, am I right?
Why does she look angry?
"Is it really Wang Laohu? Okay, even if our work is not meticulous, X43470Z3T500001976 then you should always be familiar with this number, right? β
Wang Hu was stunned for a moment, and the Zhang Tan brothers and sisters only felt that the squinting eyes lit up suddenly, but when they looked closely, they found that they were still that lazy.
A. [Rhetorical question] How do you know this number, who are you? What is the purpose?
B, [meaningless] Who I love has nothing to do with me anyway, I just want to live the last few days, can you not bother me.
C. [Coaxing] I don't have an impression at all, which country's ID number? I've heard that the people with X are of unknown gender?
Wang Hu squinted and hesitated, he didn't know how the little girl in front of him knew this number, it stands to reason that it would never be revealed.
Unless it's ......
If that were the case, he didn't want to flatly refuse and he didn't want to admit it, so rhetorical questions and hesitations were inappropriate.
"I don't remember at all, which country's ID number? I've heard that the people with X are of unknown gender? Wang Hu said vaguely, and then changed the subject and asked, "Please sit down, tea, coffee, or coke?" β
He asked so, so out of politeness, the brothers and sisters would not leave directly, which was convenient for him...... No, Wang Hu didn't have this awareness at all, it was convenient for the "human history" system to inquire about the news from the side next.
"I want coffee." Zhang Xue said.
"Tea." Zhang Tan nodded.
Taking advantage of Wang Hu's efforts to get a drink, Zhang Tan first glared at his sister threateningly, signaling her to stop talking nonsense.
Then his eyes quickly examined the indoor environment.
The room is only about 30 square meters, the kitchen, bedroom and living room are put together, and a small room is separated on the right side as a toilet and bathroom. Directly opposite the door is a computer desk, the computer is open, and a popular domestic online game is open on the screen. It seems that when they came, the owner of the house was playing a game.
In the corner on the left side of the wall are two old sofas and coffee tables, on which are stacked with large stacks of fast food boxes and pizza boxes, stacked in an orderly manner and neatly edged. Opposite was an old-fashioned color television with a CRT-type and a folded bed leaning against the wall.
There aren't many things indoors, and it's just as neat and tidy as the outside, but it's really like a bachelor's place.
But this layout gives Zhang Tan a very familiar sense of dΓ©jΓ vu...... He thought about it, and suddenly realized, isn't this a similar layout of the submarine's living quarters! If there is any place in the world where the space utilization rate is the highest and the most reasonable placement of items is undoubtedly the submarine living quarters with extremely narrow internal space - because submarines are a mandatory adaptation, even if they have been retired for many years, they will still retain similar habits.
Here's a similar situation, and if you look closely, you can see that everything is placed in different positions in order of use, with the chair in front of the computer at the center.
Wang Hu was a soldier before?
Ever served on a submarine?
While Zhang Tan was secretly vigilant, he had a trace of faith in his sister's chattering words.
β¦β¦
"I'm sorry, it's presumptuous, but I want you to listen to my story before you decide."
After Wang Hu sat down, Zhang Xue looked at Wang Hu's eyes and said.
is different from Zhang Tan's almost unbelieving attitude and Wang Hu's attitude of doing anything.
Zhang Xue has been treated as a psychopath for twenty years, and she is desperate to prove that everything she says is true - and Wang Hu is the only evidence of her connection to reality, so she has to hold on to it even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance.
For this reason, he even did not hesitate to confide his secret in advance.
"My name is Zhang Xue...... I was a sensitive child from a young age, and no one could understand me because they didn't know that I could see a lot of things that others couldn't...... Is there any sugar? I can't drink black coffee. β
She asked, paddling her coffee.
Wang Hu took out a box of sugar cubes from Zhang Xue's front - under the coffee table - and placed it in front of Zhang Xue.
You just said that you can see a lot of things that other people can't?
(But you can't see the sugar cube in front of you.) οΌ
It's just a silent mockery...... Zhang Xue didn't understand it at all, and Zhang Tan, who understood it, didn't know how many times he wanted to cover his face.
Zhang Xue picked up the sugar cube and threw three pieces in a row, and after picking up the fourth piece and hesitating repeatedly, she put it back in the box painfully, drank it, frowned, and then continued.
"Many years ago, when I was in kindergarten, I started hearing sounds and images in my head...... The messages told me that there was an earth beyond the earth, and that they were related to each other. And our planet is about to usher in a critical moment, a major test, and I must prepare myself to lead all of humanity......"
Wang Hu is very sure that the last sentence is that she added drama to herself.
The god-king is still quietly alive in a certain world, who dares to say that he is going to lead all mankind? He's a careful eye that has been certified by the history books.
"At first I didn't believe it at all, and I couldn't tell what I was seeing. It made me see a lot of images, but you didn't understand it, and I didn't understand it at the time...... Until I saw a similar movie in the cinema, was I four or five years old at that time?
In Dad's small screening room, I watched "Minority Report", "District 9", "Edge of Tomorrow", ...... You have no idea how shocked I was when I saw that scene on screen! Because that's the picture and plot I've seen in my fantasy for a long time! β
β¦β¦
With Zhang Xue's story, Wang Hu roughly understood what was going on.
To put it simply, Zhang Xue's so-called talent (abnormal person) is because she was chosen as the "spokesperson" by the host of the earth in her galaxy - so she is right, she is the savior reserve of this planet!
Although such people are rare, Wang Hu has met several during his mission.
As long as they don't die, they all become big shots without exception.
Zhang Xue can hear some words that others can't hear, and see some pictures that appear in his mind, on the one hand, because of talent, and on the other hand, because they were forced into it by the local host.
Wang Hu's brain has been "formatted", and while reducing emotional fluctuations, it can also dock with any planetary host and electronic devices, which is the ability "hyperlink".
But this is not the case with normal human brains β normal human brains are stuffed with thoughts, like a bottle full of stones. It's already full, and the host can't stuff too much into it even if he wants to.
The corners and corners that are stuffed in will only be used as inspiration......
And Zhang Xue is probably the kind of character who is born with an empty brain, and it is not wrong to say that she is talented.
Although the information received was incoherent, Zhang Xue could receive the sound and picture, and she could also know that it was "someone stuffed it into her", and there should be such a candidate host who should be moved to tears - you must know that among the "saviors" that Wang Hu has seen, there are many people who still think that the salvation of the world is all their own credit until they die.
It's me who is inspired, predicts the future and follows my heart, and has nothing to do with the virtual planetary host!
In terms of hardware conditions, Zhang Xue is definitely an excellent candidate.
However, the problem now is that now Wang Hu is here......
No brain is as natural as a brain that has been formatted to communicate data seamlessly with the host. What's more, it also comes with two traits: "Level 3 ability" and "Combat experience". For the host who lacks realistic means, it is tantamount to a hungry dog seeing braised pork.
This was not Wang Hu's random guessing, because at the same time as he came to this conclusion, a new hint began to appear in the corner of his eyeβthis hint had appeared eleven years ago.
"You have a new communication request, do you want to access it?"
*****
Wang Hu looked at Zhang Xue apologetically, and didn't click "agree to access", he hadn't thought about whether to agree or not.
Zhang Xue is still talking.
If this was a Cthulhu novel, Zhang Xue would have gone crazy a long time ago, and her San value would have been reset to zero - even in the real world, her performance would have been regarded as mentally ill by her family. Fortunately, her parents are still alive and there are two older brothers, all of whom love the only youngest daughter in the family.
They did not blame, intimidate, suppress, or dislike her to try to correct her "wrong ideas". Instead, through encouragement, guidance and other means, Zhang Xue spoke freely and unscavenged the emotions in his heart.
If these are just meaningless babblings, then this is just another case of mental illness.
The problem is that Zhang Xue suddenly found that the picture she saw appeared in reality. No, it should be in a real-life movie...... It's just that the content is somewhat similar, and the plot is even more different.
For example, "The Day After Tomorrow", the movie depicts an ice storm that swept the world due to the melting of Antarctica due to global warming. What Zhang Xue saw in the "Revelation" was that Jupiter's orbit change caused the earth to move away from the sun, and the world returned to the ice age;
There is also "The Matrix", the movie is about AI awakening trying to rule the world, human beings rising up to fight back to create a dark canopy, AI making human beings into biological batteries, creating virtual world "matrices" and so on; What Zhang Xue saw in her vision was that the Third World War was about to break out, and on the eve of human beings going to use nuclear bombs to blow themselves back to the Stone Age, AI suddenly "took over the world", controlled and destroyed all nuclear weapons, and "captive" human beings, a race that is good at self-destruction, waiting for the dawn......
The plot is so bad that except for Zhang Xue herself, no one can connect what she said with the movie.
Zhang Xue can understand why the movie is made like this, as one of the quasi-professionals, she knows that the script cannot be written according to reality. If you don't rub the heat, don't cater to the mainstream public opinion, and don't have a love triangle, how can the movie make money?
Everyone goes to the cinema to be cool, not to scold.
Zhang Xue felt that she could receive so many "revelations" for what it must mean, such as becoming a savior...... Or be a savior (thoughts after watching the Terminator)?
However, it is not known whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, and those images that appear in fantasy will only become movies and video games, but will not become reality.
Seeing that the world is safe and stable, and the years are quiet, Zhang Xue feels that I may be the savior of the most salted fish in history - is it actually for me to save the collapsed film market? But the problem is that the film market has not collapsed...... I'm going to crash it first?
The tangled girl was thinking.
In this way, Zhang Xue spent her girlhood in doubt, and she didn't even have time to unlock her first love.
It wasn't until recently, when she was a freshman, that she got the first clear message in her revelation β "Go to a Chinese man named Wang Hu who lives in Germany, and he is the answer you want." β
So she came to Germany and found Wang Hu.
The name will be wrong, the ID number may not be the same, but the face will never be wrong...... She swore she had seen it in a vision, a face that had been slaughtered in a sea of blood and gunsmoke!
That's the biggest evidence!
"So it's 2019 and you're here wearing the Matrix outfit that was popular 20 years ago? Do you want to express the exclamation of time flies? β
I, Wang Hu, a synthesizer, will try to complain when I see something too outrageous.
Synths just have little mood swings, and they are not Mo's feelings.
"You think I like the clothes I wear? You have no idea how embarrassing I was along the way! I thought you'd be more receptive to this style. Zhang Xue looked at Wang Hu angrily, fat T-shirt + lazy shorts + slippers, sloppy and casual...... I completely miscalculated, this is a dead fat house!
Never mind.
Zhang Xue straightened up, looked directly into Wang Hu's eyes, and sent out a straight ball.
"I have lived for twenty-two years, and I found you today just to get an answer! I wonder if the images that come to my mind, the whispers I hear in my ears, are real?
Am I a pretty, high-spirited, ordinary girl who could save the world?
Or a madman addicted to fantasies!
Please tell me directly! β
"Why are you asking me about such a thing?"
"Because that consciousness in my head tells me that only you can give me the answer, and you are the answer!"
"Okay......"
The farther any problem is from the battle, the less good Wang Hu is. So he turned to the "human sophistication system" again, and three options appeared in front of him:
A. [Material Deception] That's right, I'm an alien, and I've temporarily lost contact with the Centaur Gama Star Kingdom. Can you lend me 500,000 to build a spaceship first? When I come back with the fleet, I will definitely seal you as the captain of the earth.
B. [Emotional Deception] You can let your follower go back first, stay and talk about it yourself, and I promise to be honest with you.
C. [Tactical Deception] Girl, you are indeed a psychopath.
Wang Hu......
Is the system broken?
The "human death" system may have wanted to tell a joke, but Wang Hu was confused.
He couldn't understand the two options A and B, is there a kingdom of centaur gamma? Could it be a non-human civilization? Otherwise, it is not common sense that there should not be a second earth within the radiation range of one earth?
And stay and talk, what to talk about?
So the choice was obvious, Wang Hu raised his right hand and gently put it on Zhang Xue's shoulder, looked at her with sincere eyes, and replied in the most sincere voice.
"Girl, you're crazy."
