Zhao Wuwei came to the main entrance of the noodle restaurant, but the scene in front of him made him feel incredible.

What was a small noodle restaurant with a tattered sign has now become a tea restaurant called "Surprise and Test Tube".

Zhao Wuwei rubbed his eyes vigorously, opened his eyes wide again, and saw a tea restaurant.

But when I came here just now, I saw a breakfast shop called "Kung Fu Ramen", so it's time to stop the car... Could it be that I was dazzled just now? Or did Three's memories affect me and cause me to hallucinate?

Zhao Wuwei made up his mind that there was only one possibility in this situation now, and it must be that the overlapping memories caused him to hallucinate. He was going to ask the silent Three to see what he had to say.

Zhao Wuwei whispered No. 3 several times, but No. 3 did not respond. Seeing that No. 3 did not respond, Zhao Wuwei tried to call No. 3 silently in his mind again, but there was still no movement.

Suddenly, Zhao Wuwei noticed the strange eyes of the passers-by around him, which made Zhao Wuwei feel a little panicked, and he recalled what had happened from the morning to just now. I felt a sigh in my heart, didn't I hit my head last night and had a problem, or did I have a split personality? Otherwise, how could he talk to a person who doesn't exist, and even have visual hallucinations.

Just when Zhao Wuwei was thinking wildly, No. 3 spoke up.

"Ah, what's the matter, do you want me to do it?"

"Mom, who the hell are you?"

"Huh? I'm number three, you're not stupid, are you? ”

"You're number three? Are you sure, I suspect you're hallucinating. ”

"Phantom your sister, I'm afraid you're not out of your mind."

"Then I just shouted to you why didn't you agree, I thought it was last night that hit me evil, and today I hallucinated."

"Ah, the incident at the noodle shop just now suddenly reminded me of something, so I didn't have time to respond to you."

"Huh? You remember something. ”

"I think I'm supposed to have been blown up by BOOM..."

"Clams? You were been..."

——————————————————

"You woke up, how did you feel?"

The mysterious man didn't know if he had come in time, but he entered the house and walked straight to the pantry.

"Come, have a cup of tea, sober up."

The mysterious man made a cup of hot tea and put it on the coffee table next to the sofa where Zhao Wuwei was lying.

"Thank you." Zhao Wuwei habitually thanked him, and then he asked, "Excuse me, where is this, why am I here?" I just..."

Zhao Wuwei, who was a little confused, woke up in an instant, and he said in disbelief: "I just now... Did you get blown up by BOOM?! ”

"If you're asking about your body in Bluestar, yes." The mystery man arrived.

"I'm in Blue Star's body? So who am I now...? Zhao Wuwei was confused again.

"You are now in the form of a consciousness body, which is often referred to as a soul body." After saying that, the mystery man added. "Your current state will only be reflected in my photography shop."

"Doesn't that mean I'm a ghost now?" Zhao Wuwei was shocked, he didn't expect that people really had souls, and they could exist independently.

"No, no, no, your understanding is fine, but your statement is incorrect." The mystery man continued. "Your current state is indeed in your soul form, but your state is only valid with me, and your current actual state is actually a mass of information, part of the information you left in the universe before you died."

Hearing the mysterious man's explanation, Zhao Wuwei was even more confused.

Am I already dead? I'm just a mess of information right now? So how can I still think? Don't...?

Zhao Wuwei began to think crankily again, the nature of human consciousness is like this, always like to constantly calculate various possibilities, in a vain attempt to get the certainty of the trajectory of things.

"Now that you're awake, let's finish what needs to be done." The mysterious man's words pulled Zhao Wuwei back to reality from his cranky thoughts, and then the mysterious man said, "When we finish what we need to do, I will naturally answer all your doubts." At that time, you should also make your choice. ”

"Unfinished? My choice? Zhao Wuwei muttered to himself.

The mysterious man guided Zhao Wuwei to sit down in front of the dressing table, and while retouching his image, he explained to him what the unfinished business was.

"The cornerstone of the universe is energy, and whether it is there or not, it will be due to energy. And the embodiment of all energy needs to rely on information, and that incomprehensible information is the cornerstone of the rules of the universe and everything in the world. ”

Didn't you say that you didn't finish it, why did you suddenly talk about the universe, Zhao Wuwei was puzzled, but he didn't dare to interrupt the mysterious man's words, so he had to listen helplessly to him continue to explain, waiting for the clarification.

"In this way, the Blue Star Terran, who consider themselves to be the spirits of all things, is actually like all things in the universe at the essential level, and is constructed from incomprehensible information."

The mysterious man was very serious about the work at hand, and he stopped talking after grooming Zhao Wuwei to an important place, and continued only after finishing the grooming seriously.

"So, after a person dies, the information he creates and carries returns to its original state and merges with the incomprehensible message."

After the mysterious man finished the retouching work, he led Zhao Wuwei to the studio in the background of the photography shop.

"But you're different." The mysterious man paused and glanced back at Zhao Wuwei. "I captured the message you were carrying before you died and took you to my photo shop."

Zhao Wuwei could understand every word of what the mysterious man said, but these words together made Zhao Wuwei a little big.

"As for what we're going to do now, all we're going to do is gather all the information you have in the universe. Make you an individual who exists independently of the world, a person who is qualified to be truly alive. ”

Arriving at the studio, the mysterious man asked Zhao Wuwei to sit on a chair in the middle of the room, while he himself took out a strange video camera.

"You just sit and don't move, I'll go turn on the information projector, and it will be fine soon."

The mysterious man walked up to a machine that looked like a projector, and he operated it twice, and after the projector clicked a few times, a projection hit the curtain behind Zhao Wuwei.

The mysterious man pressed a few more times, then left the machine and came to the opposite side of Zhao Wuwei.

The projector began to play the picture, and the mysterious man held the camera and clicked and filmed.

If Zhao Wuwei looked back at this time, he would definitely be surprised. The images on the screen were all familiar to him, from the X-rays of him as a fetus to the funny pictures of him babbling.

The familiar picture will not surprise Zhao Wuwei, and he himself disappears in the picture with the click, this is what is worth surprising.

As the mysterious man said, a series of photos were taken, and only about ten minutes had passed.

The mysterious man put down the camera, turned off the projector, and asked Zhao Wuwei to wait in the front hall first, while he himself walked to the back room through the backstage passage.

Looking at the faint light similar to red light coming from the shadows, Zhao Wuwei speculated that the mysterious person should have washed the photos.

Zhao Wuwei came to the front hall and picked up the somewhat cool teacup on the coffee table, he suddenly thought of something very important.

If I'm just a soul now, then how do I sit on the couch and the hot teacup in my hand?

Could it be that the mysterious man is also a ghost? Am I in a place like heaven or hell right now?

As soon as he was free, Zhao Wuwei began to think wildly again.

Time in thought has always been extremely fast, and before Zhao Wuwei could take a sip of tea, the mysterious man walked out of the backstage with a framed photo album.

"It's finally done, now we can get down to business."

The mysterious man put the album on the coffee table, pushed out a sofa chair from the corner next to him, and sat down opposite Zhao Wuwei with his legs crossed.

After the mysterious man sat down, Zhao Wuwei suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him had changed drastically, and the mysterious man seemed to have changed people.

"Do you want to be truly alive?" The mysterious man's tone and demeanor were solemn.

"I..." Zhao Wuwei didn't know how to answer, and he became serious when he was infected by the atmosphere.

"How do you really live?" Zhao Wuwei asked seriously.

"Like me, to be an independent, eternal, unrestricted life of free information." The mysterious man pointed to himself.

"Is that what I am in now?" Zhao Wuwei also pointed to himself and said.

"Yes and no." The mystery man pushed the album forward. "A state that is more perfect than your current state, just pick it up and you can have a real chance to live."

"Is that so?" Zhao Wuwei picked up the album without hesitation. "I'm already a dead man, and I don't have a choice now, right?"

The mysterious man didn't answer Zhao Wuwei's words, he stretched out his hand and smiled, "Introduce yourself, my name is Julian Taylor, you can call me Julian or Taylor." ”

"My name is Zhao Wuwei, Zhao Zilong's Zhao, Wu Wei who does nothing but does nothing." Zhao Wuwei also stretched out his hand to shake Yurian.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Julian Taylor." Zhao Wuwei shook hands.

"It's also a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Zhao Wuwei." Julian returned the favor.

After officially getting to know each other with the mysterious person, Zhao Wuwei wanted to open the photo album to take a look, but found that the photo album that was still in his hand just now was missing.

He looked up at Julian suspiciously, signaling that the album was gone.

"The album is just a carrier of information, and by the time you agree with me, it has become one with you." Julian was still smiling, and he was in a great mood right now. "Now, you are a real information life."

"The preparations are done, it's time to answer your questions." Julian got up, walked to the tea cabinet, made himself a cup of tea, and asked Zhao Wuwei with his eyes if he wanted to add water, and after Zhao Wuwei said that he didn't need it, Julian took the teacup and sat down again.

"Do you know why I found you, why I pulled you into this world, and why I said that I would give you a real chance to live?"

Zhao Wuwei shook his head, he really wanted to know these questions.

"Actually, I'll find you, and for no other reason. It's just by feeling, I feel that you are destined for me, so I chose you as my inheritor. ”

"Your... Inheritor? Julian's words raised new questions for Zhao Wuwei.

"Yes, Inheritor." Julian nodded in the affirmative, and he began to explain what an inheritor was.

"Before you, I was also the inheritor of another ancestor."

"And my photography shop is also left by that ancestor."

"Our information life is not rootless duckweed, but belongs to an organization called the 'Observer.'"

"We serve the observer, and the observer makes it easy for us to be truly alive."

"If you want to be truly alive, you can only become an eighth-level observer, that is, an eighth-level information life."

"There are many ways to become an eighth-level information life, but they all have one thing in common. Obtain more, almost infinite amounts of new cosmic building blocks "information sons". And it must be a new information sub formed after you become an information life, and only after obtaining an almost infinite number of information sub-elements, and then compressing these information sub-elements to the limit to form a perfect factor that only belongs to you, can you become a real eighth-level information life. ”

"It is impossible to obtain nearly infinite information by individual power alone, and it is only through observers and information beings who share their gains with each other that there is a possibility of approaching infinity."

Julian paused, took a sip of tea, he looked at Zhao Wuwei and said, "Now I know why I said, give you a real chance to live." ”

Seeing Zhao Wuwei nodding his head, Julian continued to answer his questions.

"Looking for you to be my inheritor doesn't necessarily mean that it will pull you to the world where I live."

"But the world you were in before had an information life that didn't belong to the observer, the 'thief'."

It was a new doubt, and Julian didn't wait for Zhao Wuwei to ask, so he said directly: "The thief, as the name suggests, robs the information and takes it as his own evil person. ”

"I wonder why the Observer didn't eliminate these thieves, right?"

"It's not that the observer doesn't want to destroy them, it's that the observer can't do it either."

"Those thieves are stupid rats who directly claim to the information and are completely integrated with the information child."

"The observer can be promoted only because of the amount of information contained in the sub-information. And these thieves are directly destroying the information sub and obtaining the energy in it to obtain short-term power. ”

"They think they are powerful and dominate the world, but they don't know that their actions completely block the possibility of becoming truly eternal. I don't know that once the world he belongs to is finalized, the power he relies on will only destroy him more quickly, which is really ridiculous and stupid. ”

"Originally, they were very lucky to become information beings, but unfortunately, after all, they couldn't get rid of the nature of the human race, and they were confused by the short-term power."

Julian's tone was tinged with pity, and there was deep contempt in his eyes.

"Naturally, the difficulty of becoming an information life is equivalent to being promoted to the eighth level of an observer, so you should be able to understand my regret."

"yes." Zhao Wuwei said that he agreed.

"That's the end of my answer, do you have any more questions?" Julian drank the tea in his hand in one gulp, and the time for eviction was almost up.

"Well, not for now." The amount of information given by Julian was too large, and Zhao Wuwei couldn't digest it for the time being, and he couldn't think of any problems now.

"So, it's time to make your choice." Julian stood up, looked down at Zhao Wuwei and said solemnly, "Now, let me ask you one last time, are you willing to be my inheritor, become an observer, and have a real chance to live?" ”

"The master is above, please accept the disciple's worship." Zhao Wuwei also knew that he had to give a definite answer, he walked to Julian's side, knelt on his knees, and replied to Julian in the tone and manner of a disciple in the ancient tradition of Blue Star.

"Hahaha, okay, the old man can finally be promoted to the eighth level with peace of mind, and leave this superficial world without regrets." Finally, this time, Julian laughed from the bottom of his heart.

However, as soon as Julian's voice changed, he became serious again.

"Now you are my inheritor, but I want to trust you with the photography shop, and you still need to pass one of my tests."

"Disciples, listen to the teachings of the master." Zhao Wuwei had already gotten up from the ground, and he didn't have to wait for Julian to say it. As long as the etiquette arrives, there is no need to be abused, and he doesn't have that hobby.

"Well, that's good." For Zhao Wuwei's intelligence, Julian is very sure. "Wait a minute, I'll take you to your xenomorph in this world, you don't have a body now, you can only use the xenomorph's body."

"At first your consciousness will be separated, and after a while you will merge. Of course, you will be the subject, and it will be your heterotopic who will be assimilated, and you don't need to worry about that. ”

"After you merge, I hope you can use your wisdom and ability to become the mayor of this city."

"Lead the city to become an advanced hyper-tech city of the future, and annex other cities in the region, becoming the top existence in the region."

"When a disciple listens to orders, he must obey the master's teachings." Zhao Wuwei's role-playing seems to be a bit addictive, or maybe the new life form has caused him some unknown changes.

The influence will continue, but Zhao Wuwei will always be the same Zhao Wuwei, the Zhao Wuwei who does nothing and does everything. ——————————————————

Thinking back to everything that happened yesterday, Number Three suddenly remembered a sentence he had read somewhere called Yu Hua's words from a great man.

"If your world has no fear of pain, no worries about dignity, no rich and poor, no alternation of warm and cold, no troubles about appearance, no difference between men and women, no distinction between you and me, and no worries about life and death, you will get closer and closer to 'true life'."

And at this moment, isn't it a real chance to live? To be an information being, to be an observer, to be a real... Alive.

…

However, there is no need for Zhao Wuwei to know these things, and when we are completely integrated, Zhao Wuwei will naturally understand everything, and the third who thinks of everything thinks of it in his heart.

"yes, I was blown up by BOOM, and then I crossed over until I woke up in your body this morning." Three told the truth, he certainly couldn't lie to himself.

"Ah, this look, it's really a magical fate." Zhao Wuwei sighed.

"Well, yes, it's a magical fate." Number Three also sighed.
