"It is immoral to forcibly wake up a sleeping person, you see it as 'salvation' without asking my opinion, oh yes, I remember in the glow-in-the-dark city, I have made my opinion very clear to you - I don't want to be a human anymore, I choose the rat."

Bai Ye looked at Chu Ge with a cold gaze, "It seems that you don't seem to have taken my opinion to heart. ”

Chu Ge scratched his head for a long time.

"Well, we really didn't respect your opinion in this matter."

He forcibly defended, "However, when a suicide person stands on the edge of a tall building and wants to jump down, if others see it, they will always come forward to stop him, and drag him back desperately, no matter how much he shouts 'leave me alone, let me go, let me die' and so on, it is impossible for others to be indifferent, right?" ”

This time, it was Bai Ye's turn to be stunned for a long time.

"No wonder you're called 'Long Tongue'."

He closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly, "The name given to you by the cat eater is really not wrong. ”

Chu Ge smiled "hehe" and took the opportunity to say: "How is it, Lao Bai, you should always believe now, I really didn't lie to you, you have been an out-and-out human from beginning to end, how does it feel to return to the human body?" ”

"Feeling...... It's quirky. ”

Bai Ye reopened his confused eyes, looking at his slightly open palm, as if after half a month of digestion and absorption, he still couldn't believe that this was his own limb, "It's like the analogy I played with you in the underground world, you woke up and found that your consciousness was packed into a weird alien body, surrounded by strange other worlds, and in your mind, there are a lot of memories of being an alien - you can't figure out whether you are a real alien, Or unfortunately fall into the clutches of aliens, and a cruel experiment is being conducted. ”

"Wait—"

Chu Ge hurriedly said, "Of course you are a real human being, what is coming to your mind at this moment is all your original memories, the current Earth Alliance does not have such a powerful power to control such a high-tech ability as 'memory implantation'!" ”

"I know."

Bai Ye said calmly, "This is also the reason why I have been obediently at your mercy for the past half a month, my rational thinking has judged that all this is true, but emotionally, I still can't accept the fact that I was born as a human being."

"What's more, even if I used to be a human in the past, it doesn't prevent me from having the power to choose freely today—I still prefer the rat people to humans."

"Don't be so anxious to draw conclusions, Lao Bai, you have just recovered for a long time, and you are still in the trouble of soul disorder, I was like this some time ago, I was in a trance, I couldn't tell whether I was a human or a mouse, and I would habitually stand in the position of the rat clan and use the logical thinking of the rat clan to consider the problem."

Chu Ge said, "When you get used to it for a while, you can recall more things, how magnificent the great rivers and mountains of the human world are, how magnificent the history of human civilization is, and how enthusiastic the female fans are, I guarantee that you will fall in love with the feeling of being born again!" ”

"I've seen a lot of what you're talking about from books, TV and the Internet, and I've recalled a lot from the depths of my mind."

Bai Ye was indifferent and said calmly, "But I still can't find a reason to live as a human being."

"Since this is my life, on the premise of not hurting others, I should be free to control my own destiny, and I can live as much as I want, right?

"I know that many fashionable men and women are now popular for plastic surgery, shaving bones, eyebrows, skinning, and even amputating their legs and lengthening them, making themselves unrecognizable, and even some people are dissatisfied with their gender, changing themselves from male to female, or from female to male, as long as it is indeed willing, it seems that they should not suffer moral condemnation and the control of others.

"So, I just want to 'facelift' myself to look like a rat, so what's not to do?"

Chu Ge opened his mouth, not thinking about how to persuade Bai Ye.

"In the past few days, those guys in the Propaganda Department of the Special Investigation Bureau have been saying to me 'mission and responsibility', but I feel that I have worked for the Special Investigation Bureau and the Earth Alliance for more than 20 years, not only have I personally made great contributions from birth to death, but also trained at least hundreds of new blood of soul shifters as a gold medal instructor, I have completed my mission as a human being, and I have done all the responsibilities I can, and I want to control the rest of my life."

Bai Ye said, "Is there a problem with such an idea?" ”

"Nope."

Chu Ge could only say this, "But, why? ”

Bai Ye looked at him: "Do you have to have a reason?" ”

"It's not that there has to be a reason, in fact, I can quite understand you, the rat civilization is not so dark, damp, dirty and rancid as ordinary people imagine, but the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, a miniature and accelerated version of human civilization, and many places are quite interesting."

Chu Ge spread his hands and said, "However, I estimate that the Special Investigation Bureau, the military, and the members of the parliament will definitely get to the bottom of it, and they won't just watch an ace soul shifter leave them without looking back."

"Do you want to talk to me, or to the disgusting guys in the Secret Service's Propaganda Division, or to the psychiatrist? Hey, I remember that in the team of medical experts, there is a good Dr. Wang, who is in his thirties, has a mole at the corner of his mouth, wears gold-rimmed glasses, has a big wave, and looks very gentle and intellectual, it seems that he just divorced last year and is preparing to start a new life, otherwise I will come to her, you and she will discuss it? ”

Bai Ye stared at Chu Ge for a long time.

"Forget it, I'll tell you anyway." He disarmed and surrendered.

"I'm flattered." Chu Ge said.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, you must have read my materials and know that my childhood was almost spent in the primeval jungle."

Bai Ye's eyes were a little dazed, and he said slowly, "My hometown was originally a remote oil town, and it also prospered for a while relying on underground resources, but before I was born, it had gradually declined due to the depletion of resources.

"In the Calamity, the Green Tide erupted, and countless spores, shrubs, thorns, vines, flowers and trees multiplied wildly, surrounding us from all sides, cutting off the road from our hometown to the outside world at once.

"The hometown is dependent on the underground resources, and it is not located in any traffic hub, not to mention the era of calamity, the social order collapsed, all cities and military bases are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself, and we sent a distress signal to the outside world, but did not get any response, and after a few years, we even received the news that the outside world was torn apart, the war was burning, and it became the hell of Shura.

"The outside world is full of swords and soldiers, but the hometown is covered by the green tide, just like a small paradise, and the people in the hometown have no idea of continuing to communicate with the outside world, and work together to survive in the primeval jungle.

"I was born and raised in this environment.

"In my childhood and adolescence, I never realized that humans were any different from other animals.

"Yes, we have language and writing, we can make and use tools, and under the thorns and vines, we can faintly see the ruins of the high-rise buildings of the former town at its most glory, and in the depths of the ruins, there is the occasional rustle, the last whimper of machinery and electrical appliances that have long been abandoned before they are rusted away.

"But what's the use of this, in the dangerous and mysterious jungle, no matter how advanced technology is, it may not be able to improve the chances of survival.

"Swamps and miasma everywhere, poisonous scorpions, pythons and man-eating ants lurking in them, ferocious bobcats and cheetahs, invisible bacteria and viruses...... Everything can take the life of a 'noble and proud' human being at any time.

"Growing up in such an environment, I have never felt that human beings are anything special, we are no different from poisonous scorpions, pythons, man-eating ants, bobcats, cheetahs, snakes, insects, rats and ants, but an ordinary, struggling to survive animals, sometimes we are hunters, sometimes we are prey, whether hunters or prey, we follow the law of the jungle together, the so-called 'civilization' is just a game of comfort after luck has eaten and drunk, before unpredictable death comes."
