Chapter 52: Speculation
In the middle of the night, after Xu Weiyang woke up, he always felt his eyelids jump suddenly.
Annoyed, she gently got up and poured herself a cup of hot water.
And not long after she woke up, Xin Mei also got up.
"What's wrong? What's on your mind? She sat next to Xu Weiyang.
"It's okay, it's a nightmare." Xu Weiyang said subconsciously.
However, the next moment, his eyes immediately became cold.
In this night's dream, she kept dreaming of the ceramic face, and went back and forth until she woke up.
"Forget it, it's good that the nightmare is over, it's time to sleep or sleep." Xin Mei hugged Xu Weiyang.
"Hmm." Xu Weiyang lay down and turned over to Xin Mei again, "What if I dream again?" ”
"That's Aunt Xu Huang's resentment...... You hugged me and slept well. Xin Mei sighed.
"Forget it, don't talk about this, the more you talk about it, the more ......angry you become," Xu Weiyang said, and when he saw that it was already three o'clock in the morning, he bounced up from the bed when he put on his clothes, "I woke up and went out to walk." ”
"It's not dawn yet...... Xin Mei yawned, "why are you going?" ”
"Morning jog." Xu Weiyang got dressed.
"My mom said it's not safe, it's better not to go out, do you want to wait?"
"Nope." Xu Weiyang took a fruit knife and put it in his pocket, closed the door and left the room.
And Xin Mei was really sleepy, and sighed as she looked at her departing back.
shrank into the quilt again, hugged Xu Weiyang's pillow and fell asleep.
After going downstairs, Xu Weiyang walked out of the school gate and wandered around the city alone, looking aimlessly at the buildings of this new era.
Today's buildings are modular, with much less cement and alloys instead of steel bars.
But from the outside, it's not much different from before.
Aside from the scales of solar panels, there's nothing high-tech on the façade.
The nights are also not as deserted as they used to be, because as the new era evolves, there are more and more night professions.
There is no danger in the city at night, at least in densely populated places.
The Great War 50 years ago turned Chunshen City into a ruined place. However, once the world is at peace and the economy recovers, the wounds of war are always quickly obscured.
Under a few unequal treaties, human beings have regained complete control of the management of this area, but many aliens still have extraterritoriality, and there are alien police in some areas to maintain order, to put it bluntly, there are still privileges.
The monetary system of RMB is still alive, but more of the earth coins issued by the United Nations are still in circulation in the world...... Bartering is prohibited, the Earth Coin is fully bound to the interstellar currency, and the foreign exchange market can only go up and down under the game of various interstellar capitals.
Dangling through the streets of Chunshen City, the eyes are full of men and women returning home drunk.
In this new era, drinking has become a favorite thing for both men and children, and minors can even drink low-alcohol alcohol. Among them, the dazzling array of alien liquor and alien drinks are the most popular.
Many alien drinks have even become substitutes for drinking water for children.
Many experts have questioned the presence of drugs or addictive ingredients in these form drinks, but despite the use of state-of-the-art biotechnology, all ingredient tests have failed.
The common people can't control this, as long as they can't drink the dead.
As long as you have money in your pocket, as long as you are alive, you have to have some fun.
Compared with the 21 st century, the common people in this new century are more open-minded and no longer think about the long-term future.
Most people are accustomed to renting a house instead of buying a house, or even doing odd jobs to stay in a hotel.
Most people no longer consider getting married, men and women prefer short-term and fast overnight love, and love has become something only in novels.
As for giving birth, anyway, the nursing home facilities are very perfect, and no one wants to raise a baby and take care of the baby and suffer for themselves.
Some people squander and don't want to work, so they find a building and jump out.
Of course, not everyone is so decadent.
For example, many wealthy people are more inclined to flee the Earth and go to other more developed galaxies to reproduce. I'd rather be a second-class citizen just to live a decent life.
As for human beings, religion is also gradually declining.
More and more young people are abandoning their native beliefs in favor of more mysterious alien beliefs, and they are beginning to abide by the extraterrestrial precepts, which on the one hand looks more compelling, and secondly, it is also a stepping stone to blend into high society.
Xu Weiyang did not have an in-depth study of religion, and his understanding of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism among the Chinese people was naturally relatively shallow.
But she knew that many disputes in the human world were meaningless in the eyes of Buddhism, and such a life under the supreme vision of the human world seemed very sad.
Revenge may be the resentment that Xu Huang added to her, if she doesn't take revenge, this nightmare will go on forever.
She will do so, but will not take revenge as her own sermon.
After seeing through the essence of competition, she may only be able to maintain basic human emotions, sincerity and tolerance in this life.
And just like my previous life, I continued to endure, sacrifice and work hard just to stick to my beliefs.
As the center of the trend of the times, he chooses to confront the times.
Break the order and claim the freedom you believe in.
Maybe that's the path she's about to take.
As for the body that carries this heart...... Even though it is young and perfect in its own right.
While writing one novel after another, Xu Weiyang is also constantly thinking about himself.
And when you enter this world, you have actually washed your heart cleanly, and you can completely fight with the world.
The funny thing is that there are always obstacles in the outside world that prevent her from doing so.
In other words, as long as there are external objects, people are not free after all.
Even in the name of freedom, people have many mental constraints, such as rankings and rules, such as ethics and morality.
So human beings began to be powerless, so they had to deceive themselves and others, and were willing to live in a deception.
If competition is a scam that makes people indulge in freedom.
So ignoring one's own female body and becoming a man to strive for self-improvement, isn't it also saying that you are lying to yourself?
So, is the so-called double standard of people so ridiculous? Can you warn others, but lie to yourself?
Absolutely.
But at the same time, self-deception is also our greatest companion.
At the same time, he is also the biggest protector of himself.
We don't want to die, we just want the right to exist.
Even our planets and civilizations don't want to be silent.
A more erect instinct makes people feel that they prefer to live forever in this universe than death.
The so-called self-deception is exactly this.
It is an ability that any creature will have, and if it lasts for a day, there is a greater probability that it will survive forever.
Even on the day of death, I would use religious texts to tell myself that when I died, I would go to another place, a better place, and live forever.
For the sake of this instinct, he does not hesitate to sacrifice and squeeze other living beings to maintain his own survival.
So that part of the people naturally became invaders, pressurers, and evil.
As the self-ability becomes stronger and stronger, there will be more and more means of oppressing others, and centralization will appear, and everyone will satisfy the long-term desire of a person and a group, even if it is image.
And as the pressure is passed on layer by layer, people's inner resentment will also grow.
Until one day, the people of this top floor were killed, and the order of this top floor was disintegrated.
Then the person who destroys all this is called a hero.
However, in modern times, the oppressed have new ways to escape, such as depression or suicide, and these people are often branded as mentally ill, and are regarded by society as abnormal and pathological existence, gradually obscuring the nature of the oppressed and not fighting.
In this way, the role of vigilance will gradually disappear, and heroes will gradually become scarce.
Humanity will eventually fall silent on the prospect described by Huxley.
Xu Weiyang thought about it, and unconsciously came to a crossroads.
