"Serendipitously...... Are we really accidental? Mannie had a hard time accepting the concept for a while, but as she continued to flip through the book, she realized how narrow her understanding was.

[It's a world that repeats itself

Is life a miracle born of a chance moment, or is it an eternity that already exists? 】

——————

This is the most emotional sentence on the first page.

If you look at this sentence alone, it will feel inexplicable and incomprehensible.

But if you combine this sentence with the memory of life on Earth, this sentence is quite intriguing.

———————

From the emergence of life on Earth to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

The cycle of the world is repeating "creation" and "destruction".

Every tilt of the scales of order brings about a subversive catastrophe.

Among them, oxygen and carbon dioxide are closely related to everyone in the world.

Almost every living thing needs to absorb oxygen to sustain life and make carbon dioxide while doing so.

According to the current understanding of mankind, the oldest life was born in the ocean, and at the beginning of life, the original ecosystem of the ocean created an oxygen-rich environment for the earth.

It's an invisible gold mine.

Through this oxygen-rich environment, life was able to land, reproduce, evolve, and give birth to an "age of dinosaurs" that lasted for hundreds of millions of years.

The most famous "Tyrannosaurus Rex" and "Brontosaurus" were born at the peak of this evolution of life.

But then an irreversible decline ensued.

Later, the dinosaurs became extinct, and after the earth experienced the self-regulation of the ice age, human beings finally stepped onto the stage of the memory of life on the earth, and completed the first step of self-evolution in the following tens of thousands of years, and civilization began.

Now, looking back on all this, we should be emotional, and we should be even more vigilant.

Dinosaurs made far more carbon dioxide out of volume than humans made through the Industrial Revolution.

With the arrival of a new round of peaks, what kind of ending will we end? 】

———————

Seeing this, Mannie has an indescribable sense of depression, she actually knows better than anyone the inevitable contradictions in the progress of civilization, just like the dialogue in a movie clip.

"If there is not even a drop of clean water and a breath of clean air in this world, what is the use of making more money?"

"You...... See what you're talking about? ”

"It's that you don't understand."

[When it comes to environmental protection, what is our first feeling?

It's disgust.

The disgust of powerlessness.

Disgust with self.

Disgust with society, with the world.

Although the strong resistance has been somewhat restrained under the constraints of public order and morality, in fact, we are still accustomed to scoffing at it.

Until those disasters do come.

Confirming the old saying "no coffin, no tears", we woke up like a dream, only to find that there are always some people in this world who are wantonly squandering the resources that belong to everyone, they are the source of greed and corruption, and they are like drugs.

The short-lived pleasure is coming to an end, because the heart-rending of unsatisfying desires is about to begin!

So I hope everyone can realize that environmental protection is not the world, but our own ......]

————————

Mannie closed the book, and she read the author's compassion and felt a great sense of crisis.

However, people always live in the present moment and have not experienced disasters, so how can we understand disasters?

"Appeared by chance...... Accidental ...... alive" tried to understand the words again, and Mannie vaguely seemed to feel something.

But she couldn't see it clearly, and she couldn't catch it.

Looking up and watching the sun set, most of the people in the camp had returned to their tents, leaving only a small part to patrol.

Their main duty is not to be vigilant against humans, but to be on the lookout for wild beasts in this mountain forest.

Beasts......

When Mannie first heard about the wolves in the area, she was stunned, because it was hard to imagine that these unarmed people would camp in the area of influence of the wolves.

Later, she learned that the main reason why she chose to be with wild wolves was that the initiator of the camp, You Gege, hoped that everyone who joined the camp would realize that although they were a fragile human, they belonged to a whole, and as long as they did not leave the camp and did not leave the place where there were fireworks, the wolves would not come to disturb humans.

But even so, a tragedy occurred at the beginning of the camp's establishment.

A couple who had come to the camp didn't make it back to camp before sunset, and by the time they found them, they had already been eaten by wolves.

"Then haven't you thought about revenge?" That was Mannie's first reaction.

But Yan Haowen replied: "Why take revenge? The wolves belong here, we are prey in their eyes, and if we don't understand that, then we probably shouldn't have bothered in the first place. ”

Mannie remembers the look of astonishment on her face.

What kind of logic is this?

But today, when I tried to understand this seemingly neurotic answer, Mannie felt as if she was the one with hatred.

It's high, and as a human being, you feel the anger that comes from a threat.

It's like a domesticated killer whale killing its trainer...... The circus was driven crazy by elephants that killed people......

Bad, cruel, not killer whales, not elephants......

It's us.

When she realized this, Mannie felt that she had a bit of a virgin heart, which made her shake her head and smile bitterly, but after thinking about it, in fact, this is not a "virgin", the real "virgin" will twist the high altitude of almsgiving with her own overflowing emotions, in fact, the essence of this mentality is not the real virgin, on the contrary, it is just the appearance of that kind of bad, cruel emotional hypocrisy, from a deeper level, it is still us who decide the existence or destruction of all things, not respect them.

With this realization, Mannie became much more calm.

She knew that she would not become a Buddha who cut meat and feed eagles, but she was by no means a god who purified all sentient beings.

She is a mortal who appears in this world by chance, with all beings.

……

At night, Mannie, who had put down the booklet, quietly hid the records of the other two simulations in her heart, and she had to memorize them so that she could let go of them when she returned to Gaia, so that she could really see them for what they really were.

This was Mannie's initial idea, but that night, Mannie couldn't sleep for a long time while lying in bed.

It's not because of insomnia, but because of the inexplicable upset that makes Mannie's heart faintly uneasy.

After tossing and turning in bed for half the night, Mannie sat up, looked at the fire outside the tent, and said to herself, 'Is something wrong?' ’

Just as I was thinking, a pair of patrolling men passed by.

Hearing the familiar sound, Mannie hurriedly got out of bed, put on her clothes and chased out.

"Brother Xian? Wait for me! ”

Yan Yixian, who was in charge of patrolling that night, was stunned at first when he looked back and saw Mannie, and then frowned: "Why don't you sleep so late?" ”

Mannie scratched her head and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to either, but I can't sleep, and I always feel uncomfortable in my heart." ”

Patrolling with Yan Yixian is a Ukrainian girl named Eliza, she is a top student in the Chinese Department of Peking University, and her fluent Chinese pronunciation has always made Mannie feel that she is a Uyghur girl who grew up in the Central Plains, but in fact, she has only studied Chinese for less than two years.

"Feeling sick? Xiao Xu, are you sick? With that, Eliza tested the temperature of Mannie's forehead.

But Manny knew she was in good health, but she was still grateful to this kind girl.

He shook his head: "No, Sister Eliza, I'm fine, but I just can't sleep...... That's why I thought I'd go on patrol with you, maybe I'll be able to fall asleep when I'm tired. ”

Yan Yixian: "Oh, that's okay, you just follow, it's just about to change shifts, you can go to your brother Haowen with Eliza to get a cup of hot milk to drink." ”

Mannie was overjoyed to hear this, the volunteers in the camp were not very wealthy, so things like milk were not something that could be drunk if she wanted to.

As for Yan Yixian, Mannie was a little afraid of him at first, but after a long time of contact, Mannie found out that Yan Yixian is a big warm man with a cold outside and a hot inside, although he doesn't talk much and looks cool, but this contrast is more favorable.

So Mannie, full of joy, followed Eliza to Yan Haowen's tent.

On the way, Eliza and Mannie chatted casually, all about the latest simulation, Mannie is the first time to join a complete simulation, not too familiar, as the "sister" Eliza naturally took care of a few more words.

When I arrived near Yan Haowen's tent, I saw a figure moving in the tent from a distance, thinking that Yan Haowen was getting dressed.

But......

When Eliza and Mannie arrived at the tent, the lights in the tent suddenly went out.

Mannie felt chills for no apparent reason, as if some great danger was about to happen.

Eliza didn't realize this, she just thought that Yan Haowen was coming out, so she smiled and lifted the corner of the tent and said, "Haowen, don't be in a hurry to turn off the lights, I'll bring Xiao Xu to ask for a glass of milk...... Ah! ”

Before she could finish speaking, Eliza was knocked aside by Mannie, followed by a cold flash, which hit Mannie's heart.

The knife was impartial and pierced in the heart.

The pain was short-lived, and Mannie saw a figure rush out of the tent before she could completely lose consciousness, then turn and flee into the forest.

After falling to the ground, the cold hit quickly, and a faint cry echoed in Mannie's ears, unable to breathe.

"How so...... Why...... Why ......"

On the brink of death, Mannie cried tears of anguish as her empty gaze stared straight in the direction in which her back had disappeared.
