72. Lester's signature

The staff brought a lot of large glasses cases.

Mei Yiqiu recognized at a glance that this is the latest VR headset, produced by China's HW company.

Frederick took the lead in putting on the headset and said, "Please put on your helmet, there's a red button on the right hand side that is the switch." Professor Daldova has deciphered Mr. Lester's thinking matrix information and restored it into an image using CG technology, so you can take a look at it. ”

Mei Yiqiu and the others put on the headset, and suddenly fell into darkness in front of them.

He pressed the switch on the right, and a blue light flashed sideways, like the oldest supernova in the depths of the universe. Then, a large blue three-dimensional matrix appeared in front of him, stretching all the way to infinity.

Straight green lines are constantly falling from the top of the matrix, inserting from the left and right sides, or shooting like arrows from a distance, with long strings of numbers made up of 0s and 1s. There are also serpentine sequences interspersed in the gaps of the matrix, like a twisted barrage.

Daldovia appears on the edge of the matrix. He tapped his finger at a point in the matrix, and it lit up like a star. Then, the chaotic series of numbers quickly converged on a certain area as if they had been instructed to do so, and began to line up in a neat line according to some kind of rule.

Then, the numbers that were gathered together and crowded with each other slowly turned into the appearance of a green human face.

The face is getting clearer and clearer. First is the contour of the face, then the bulging bones and muscles, and finally the facial features.

Mei Yiqiu quickly recognized that this was Evans Lester.

"Hello, China Mei!" Evans Lester greeted May

"Chinese Mei" is Lester's nickname for Mei when he was at Princeton University. Apparently it is this latest VR device that adds new capabilities to identify the user, and the creator of the VR, Professor Daldova, happens to know this nickname for Mey.

"Hello, Mr. Lester." The effect of VR is very realistic, and Mei Yiqiu unconsciously responds loudly.

"I'm Evans Lester, just like that."

Mei Yiqiu knew that this was just a CG restoration of Evans Lester's image, so she didn't speak anymore, but listened quietly to Mr. Lester's speech-

I'm Evans Lester, like a fake.

I'm using the Mind Matrix right now, which is something I invented. I'd say, sorry, but this thing doesn't work very well, so you don't like it. But I now have to use it to convey to you, only in this way can I prove that I am speaking now, and not someone else who is pretending or coercing me.

I don't know how much longer I can hold out.

Perhaps ignorance and perfunctory will allow me to live a happy old age. But I am a scientist, and I have spent my whole life thinking about the fate and future of humanity and giving all my time and energy to it. I can't pretend not to see something that could ruin humanity.

This thing has been lurking in my head for a long time. I can't get rid of him, I can't eliminate him, it's hard to even prove his existence. Please forgive me for using "he" instead of "it" because he looks exactly like me.

Anyone who knows the Mind Matrix and Lester's signature should know that I'm in a deep state of self-hypnosis right now, so when I say exactly the same, I don't mean that he has a body that is exactly like mine, but that he means "consciousness".

In fact, he and I share the same body.

He has all my memories. He knew what I was thinking and what I was going to do; He knew my wife, daughter, and friends; He knew I liked to eat foie gras dipped in Chinese Lao Ma Zi hot sauce...... In short, he knows everything about me inside out. If it weren't for the fact that he thinks so differently than I do, I almost thought he was me.

Well, let me think about it, when did he start showing up. I probably don't remember exactly, or I didn't notice him at first, when he was probably weak.

He lurks in my body, in my brain or in neural networks (forgive me for not being able to figure out how human consciousness and us coexist), stealing my memories little by little, and slowly growing.

Later, he became my shadow and grew up with me. It wasn't until he stood up on his own and tried to take over the magpie's nest and drive me away that I realized he existed.

At that time, if I had been decisive, I might have been able to kill him.

In my lifetime of studying quantum and the universe, I have mastered a number of ways to control my self-consciousness and spiritual energy. I have also tried to prove that there is a superposition of dimensions between the spiritual world and the material world, and the relevant papers have not been published because of obvious flaws. I can testify to this by Professor Mei Yiqiu of China, who discussed together at Princeton the energetic characteristics of independent consciousness.

I became interested in "him" research.

I thought it was a gift from God to take another big step forward in my life on the path of science.

It turns out that I was wrong, he was not sent by God, he was Satan!

One thing I would say is that I can only see him in my dreams, except during deep hypnosis.

My physical indicators were normal, but the nightmares of fighting him every day made me haggard. Britney asked me if I was under too much pressure because of the problem of unified field theory.

No! The basic problem of unified field theory has been solved, and the rest, if not perfected in my lifetime, will be done by others. I saw a lot of outstanding young people – Frings, Jack Young, Mulvede, Joe Miyamoto, Barclay, ...... all of them were talented enough to accomplish this final feat.

And I, now have a more important study to do - who is "he"? Where did it come from? What is the purpose of "he" or "they"?

I'm studying him every day, trying to solve the doubts above. And he was influencing me every day, trying to stop me, trying to get me out of my body.

He's getting stronger and stronger.

Now, when I am not hypnotized, I can't tell whether the decisions I make are made by "me" or "he". That's why I had to use what you call the "Lester Signature" Mind Matrix cipher to deliver the message.

But my research was not without results.

Now, I don't have time to come up with all my arguments, and I don't have a chance to do the experiments, so I have to tell you the truth straight - he's an invasive creature, and he's certainly not the only one.

We often fantasize that there is life in the universe like humans, and we call them "aliens".

But in fact, the term alien is inaccurate, at least narrow. This designation wishfully classifies extraterrestrial life as "man" living on an extraterrestrial planet, ignoring that life in the universe is not necessarily human, not necessarily animal, and perhaps not even any form that we can understand.
