Just when Tang Shi was frightened, an extra chair suddenly appeared opposite him, a chair that appeared completely out of thin air, strange and abrupt.

Before Tang Shi could come back to his senses, a person suddenly appeared on the chair, Tang Shi saw that the other party appeared and lost his mind for a short time, and then he was a little relieved.

"Is that you?" Tang Shi asked abruptly.

The man opposite him had the same face as Tang Shi, and even his clothes were exactly the same, and he said with a faint smile on his face, "It's me." ”

"I didn't expect to meet you here." I don't know why, Tang Shi's heart suddenly relaxed at this moment, he didn't know if this was a broken jar that bowed to fate, or a relief that everything was about to end.

It still smiled and said, "Actually, we are old acquaintances, but we haven't seen each other yet." ”

"What?"

Tang Shi was stunned, he was surprised. But soon he remembered that since the first meeting between himself and Hulu, they had really known each other.

Thinking of the gourd, Tang Shi asked, "What about the gourd?" Have you taken it back? ”

It nodded and shook its head, and said, "You still don't understand, I am the gourd, and the gourd is me." ”

The tone was flat as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but falling into Tang Shi's ears was tantamount to thunder on the ground, "You are a gourd?" No way! ”

"What's impossible?" It asked.

Tang Shi said: "If you are a gourd, how could you be blocked by the fourth of them last time?" And how could you let them go? ”

It said without any fluctuations: "They didn't affect my plans, so why should I interfere with it?" After all...... They're just a swarm of ants. ”

Tang Shi wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips. In its eyes, that group of people, including itself, should be regarded as ants even if one counts as one. It has to be said that it is really sad that it does state the facts in its own blatant contempt.

Tang Shi smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Mole ants, fortunately, it's not bacteria. After a pause, he asked, "What did you do to them?" ”

It said indifferently: "In your understanding, they are dead. In my understanding, it just reverts them to the way they were at the beginning. ”

Sure enough, it is merciless to ants that have no use value, in other words, leaving themselves now, which means that they are still useful. A useful ant, Tang Shi didn't know whether to be honored or sad.

"Why did you leave me?" Since the Green Snake World met No. 4, Tang Shi has become the center of all storms, whether it is the group of predecessors or it, they all have their own plans, but Tang Shi is a fan of the authorities. Before it appeared, Tang Shi wanted to know what the plan of the predecessors to find themselves was. But now that the group of predecessors are gone, it doesn't matter what the plan is.

On the contrary, when it appeared, Tang Shi found a possibility that could be confirmed, so he wanted to know what role he had played in this turmoil. The gourd is it, it is the gourd. Do the group of exes know about this? If they knew, they invited Tang Shi to this safe house, did their brains get into the water? If it doesn't know, it means that it has never exposed the true face of the gourd in front of its predecessor, and the group of people from beginning to end think that the gourd is just a tool for it.

Compared with the two possibilities, Tang Shi prefers the second one. In this way, there is a question, why did it expose the true face of the gourd only in front of itself? Are you sure you can't live?

Tang Shi's heart was in turmoil, and the countless possibilities in his mind could not be effectively judged, everything could only wait for its answer. Unfortunately, instead of answering, it said, "They say that I was born unconscious, but in fact this is wrong. I've been conscious since I was born. ”

Tang Shi was stunned for a moment, what did this guy say? "What do you mean?"

It said to itself, "Remember the will of the world that you contained? In fact, even if I am the will of the world, I have a clear understanding of everything about the universe since I was born. ”

"Everything you say includes the destruction of the universe?" Tang Shi asked.

It nodded and said, "Of course." I have known the fate of the universe and my destiny since I was born. At first, in order to escape my fate, I successively shattered the ungrown universe, but after each shattering, the universe reset. After a long time, I also resigned myself to my fate. ”

"I don't know how many epochs have passed, but a chance discovery made me find the singularity, and since then I have started the deployment of the singularity world, and it is from this moment that I made the gourd."

"At the beginning, everyone in the entire universe had a gourd, but the singularity attribute they fed back was like a bubble popping and couldn't be saved at all. Then I found the Earth, and I found you. In you, the singularity has changed, and you can preserve the singularity intact. So, I changed my strategy. ”

"They say that every new epoch in the universe is a whole 'year,' and that's wrong. In fact, after discovering you, the beginning of every new era begins from the moment you are chosen. ”

"It can't be!" Tang Shi retorted, "It takes time for the universe to expand, and before I was chosen, I was an independent individual with my own memories. ”

It smiled and said, "You think so? Let me tell you, it does take time for the universe to expand, but that's normal. In the abnormal state, I am the universe, and I can control the expansion of the universe. For example, if I was programming a game, I could build all the code and then start it directly, so that I didn't have to spend a lot of time. And because it's coded, I can replicate an infinite universe and it's exactly the same every time. ”

Tang Shi said with a complicated face: "My memories are also made up by you?" ”

It nodded and said, "That's right, although I set up your experiences in advance. Think about it, your life is meaningless until the gourd chooses you. It is the gourd that gives you the meaning of life. Before, you said that you were a clone, but in fact, it was not only you, but the whole world was cloned. ”

"Impossible, if so, why didn't they find it One?" Tang Shi questioned.

"Have you ever wondered why it all started with One?" It asked rhetorically.

This question made Tang Shi's heart chill, yes, why is No. 1 the first person to survive the destruction of the universe. Could it be ......

Tang Shi said with difficulty: "Because No. 1 is the first individual to lose his memory?" ”

It smiled and said, "That's right, after every time the universe is shattered, you, as the host, will survive with the gourd, and survive with complete memories. But no matter how perfect a system is, there will be vulnerabilities, and such vulnerabilities will occur every 10,000 times. After a certain world was shattered, I discovered that as the host, One had actually lost his memory. What a miraculous circumstance it was, so instead of annihilating him, I let him live. So to be precise, the few people you met before didn't live through an era, they all lived for at least 10,000 epochs, but I sealed them up to create their illusion, mistakenly thinking that they only lived a few epochs. ”

Tang Shi suddenly felt sad for the group of predecessors, who were unaware of its grasp from beginning to end, but secretly wanted to break free from its shackles.

"With a 1 in 10,000 probability, you actually say that this is a perfect system, it seems that your definition of perfection is really low." Tang Shi said mockingly.

It shook its head and said seriously, "No, my system is perfect, except for this vulnerability, my system has no flaws." ”

"In that case, why don't you make up for it?" Tang Shi asked.

It said with a playful look in its eyes, "Because I want to see what the consequences of this vulnerability will be." ”

"The consequences?" Tang Shi was puzzled, wasn't the consequences already obvious? The predecessors were amnesiac, had no memory of their past, and received a reinvention of their memories after the collapse of the universe. That's why they didn't notice it, because each of their memories was reconstructed.

It says, "Memory loss is not a consequence, the real consequence is you!" ”

"Me?" Tang Shi was stunned.

It smiled, with excitement in its eyes, this was the first time Tang Shi saw the human side from his eyes, "You have a completely different attribute from the previous host, you can fit perfectly with the singularity attribute, this is what I have been pursuing!" ”

"What are you going to do?!" Tang Shi asked subconsciously. It's as if the beast bared its fangs, and he found a terrifying threat!

It chuckled, its smile making Tang Shi creep, "As you think, I'm going to break out of this cage!" ”

When the words landed, Tang Shi found that his body was completely unable to move, and the other party turned into a streamer and drilled directly into Tang Shi's eyebrows. In the next second, the surroundings changed, and Tang Shi found that his vision changed from the first perspective to the third perspective.

Still maintaining a stiff posture, he sat in the void, with a huge light curtain like a display screen in front of him, and everything transmitted in the light curtain in real time was Tang Shi's previous subjective perspective.

"What did you do to me?!" Tang Shi yelled.

Its voice sounded in his ears, lingering around Tang Shi like an echo in an empty hall, "Don't be nervous, I invite you to watch a show." You know you're so much luckier than those guys before you, they're dead, and you're going to see a new world with me! ”

"Sometimes I really envy you humble beings, whether carbon-based or silicon-based, you have been fighting against everything since the moment you came, with wild beasts, with your own kind, and even with the heavens. What an interesting life course it is. But I'm different, I've been around for an unknown number of years, and the day I was born I controlled the entire universe, and everything in the universe would rise and fall because of my thoughts. At first, I made life and created stars, which seemed really interesting, but even the most interesting things were repeated for hundreds of millions of years. ”

"Do you know boring? I am alive when the universe was created, and I am still alive when the universe is destroyed. The life I create will be born, old, sick and die, but I won't! Why?!"

"Then I figured it out, and I had an epiphany. This universe is a shackle, a cage, and I can only be reborn in the new world. Luckily, I found the new world, the door was the only thing I couldn't control, I couldn't open it, but I could fool it. As long as I fool it, I can be born again! ”

Listening to its hysterical and crazy words, Tang Shi didn't say a word, this guy is already crazy, a madman with infinite power, what can he do?

"Looks like you've resigned yourself to your fate." Its voice regained its softness, "That's right, when I get to the new world, I don't mind letting you start over, we all have a new beginning, how wonderful." ”

Tang Shi said coldly: "Will you?" ”

Its laughter echoed in its ears, "Maybe." ”

In the next second, Tang Shi, who was bound to the chair, watched the screen in front of him undergo great changes, everything organic and inorganic fell apart in front of him, the universe collapsed at the speed of light, the perspective of the screen was looking down, and from Tang Shi's point of view, the universe was like a leaky balloon at this moment, shriveled and fragile.

Soon, the universe became smaller and smaller, and Tang Shi found that the space he was in at the moment was very strange, and he couldn't even think of any suitable words to describe it. As we all know, in the Big Bang theory, time and space are properties unique to the universe, so from a scientific point of view, the outside of the universe does not exist at all, and it is not even nothing. Nothingness is invisible and intangible, but it is like a vacuum, you know it exists, but you can't perceive it.

But the outside of the universe is truly non-existence, the end, the retreat, and the zero. The starry sky in the universe is reflected in the black picture, but at this time, the area is white.

There is no restriction on the rules of the universe, there is no attenuation of light, there is extreme light everywhere here, and the extreme is so extreme that Tang Shi is enveloped in it, Tang Shi finds himself everywhere here, he is everywhere.

"What is this place?" Tang Shi asked in shock.

It replied indifferently, "Ruins." ”

"This is the ruins?" This is very different from the scene in Tang Shi's imagination, shouldn't the ruins be as colorful as the void turbulence last time, as a cosmic garbage dump?

It said, "This is the ruins." Don't paint the world with your narrow and humble worldview, you can't do it and won't understand. The only thing you can do is accept, so you just need to know that this is the ruins, and that's enough. ”

Its words made Tang Shi hold back the doubts in his heart, sitting behind the screen, he could only indirectly feel the outside world, many things he wanted to see, but he couldn't see them.

It was as if Tang Shi wanted to look at the door in his mouth at this time, but he couldn't see it. "Where's the door?" Tang Shi asked.

With a wave of its hand, a door appeared in front of it, and this door seemed to be infinitely far away, and it seemed to be close in front of it.

"I'm glad to see that you've adapted well to being a spectator." It said suddenly.

Tang Shi wanted to sneer, but he couldn't control his expression, so he simply didn't care. He figured it out, it was definitely not out of good intentions, nor did it want someone to witness its greatness, it must have had limitations that it couldn't understand that forced it to keep itself. In that case, I'd like to see what it's going to do.

It reached out and touched the door, gently as if caressed between lovers, and slowly, the door opened to reveal a tiny gap...

……

When Tang Shi was conscious, his body was unprecedentedly weak. His memory was lost, and it was a long time before he remembered what had happened last.

It opens the door, and then what? What's behind the door? What did it see?

Now that I am still conscious, it means that I am still alive, which should be considered good news.

Tang Shi tried his best to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to be sewn up, and he couldn't open them at all, and he couldn't even feel a trace of light. He subconsciously wanted to perceive his surroundings with his body.

The next moment a strange sensation came over him, he could feel that his limbs were gone, but the sense of touch was still there. It's an amazing feeling, an indescribable feeling.

"Hey! Where are you?! Tang Shi called out, trying to find it, but no one answered.

Where did it go? Leave yourself to fend for yourself and leave?

No way! It must not be!

Tang Shi didn't think about whether it was already dead, because he was still alive, how could it be dead as the supreme existence of the universe?

……

In the dead silence, Tang Shi no longer had the concept of time, at first he was still suspicious of whether all this was its conspiracy and was vigilant, but in the endless waiting, it never appeared, slowly, Tang Shi even began to forget it, not deliberately, but the passage of memory.

He forgot about it, about his life, about the earth, about the universe, and in the end he even forgot about himself.

He doesn't remember who he is, he doesn't remember the concept of life, he doesn't remember where he wants to go, he doesn't remember his goal, he starts to become confused, ignorant and confused.

Sometimes he was awake, sometimes he was asleep. But the notion of wakefulness and slumber had long been forgotten, and he could not tell the difference between the two.

Until one day, he suddenly wanted to look around and see the environment he was in. This time, he 'opened' his eyes, really 'opened'.

There was nothingness and no color, and it suddenly seemed a little boring to him, and he tried to break free.

In the next moment, his consciousness expanded infinitely, starting from one point and expanding to infinity. The color around him changed from nothingness to pitch black, and he was a little excited, and there was a hint of anticipation in his heart. He didn't know what he was expecting, but he had a hazy goal in his heart.

He tried to move towards that goal, but suddenly everything was disillusioned. The expanded consciousness ended in an instant, and he fell silent again.

After another unknown amount of time, he woke up again, this time he couldn't wait to open his eyes, his consciousness expanding boundlessly, but with the previous experience, his movements became very light.

This time the expansion lasted longer, and a lot of inexplicable things appeared in the realm of consciousness, some of which glowed and some of which did not. These things swirled around themselves in the realm of consciousness, enveloping him.

He was so happy that he wanted to touch it for the first time. However, due to his lack of experience, his vast consciousness came to an end once again after entering the rotating objects.

The third time he awoke, he took the experience of the second time, without touching anything, and this time living things appeared on those things that swirled in the realm of consciousness. That's right, he called these fragile objects that grow and die alive.

In the entire realm of consciousness, everything except him will grow and die, but he stubbornly believes that only the small things that grow on rotating objects are living things, and he doesn't know why he has this idea, as if this year is deeply rooted in his mind.

He never intervened in the life and death of these living creatures, but in an unconscious investigation, his expanded consciousness collapsed......

Temptation after temptation, awakening and expansion again and again, his ignorance from the beginning to the final clarity, and his control of consciousness has been as pure as fire. He can create living things without interfering with any underlying rules, or he can awaken eternity in silence.

But there is one thing that he cannot surpass in any way, his consciousness does not expand unlimitedly, and when it expands to a certain extent, the realm of consciousness collapses, and he doesn't even know the cause, he doesn't know what happened.

He was angry, but more curious, desperate to know what was going on. In the pursuit of the Japanese service, he finally discovered that in an inconspicuous corner of the realm of consciousness, there was a point.

Whenever this point appears, it means that the realm of consciousness is about to be destroyed, even if he stops expanding, the realm of consciousness will still be destroyed, he wants to understand this point, he desperately wants to know everything about this point, but countless attempts have ended in failure.

Until one day, he discovered that this point would affect the living creatures around him on the eve of the expansion, and a plan gradually took shape in his consciousness......

……

A little heat, a lot of rain.

In a rented house, a man in his twenties stretched and leaned against the head of his bed, and the rain was pouring down outside the window, and there was no sign of stopping. The man sighed, muttered and turned on his mobile phone, opened a certain takeaway APP, and ordered a takeout casually.

After ordering takeout, the man watched the news boredly, and the news content was all kinds of just to pass his boring time. At this moment, suddenly there was a clanging sound in the living room, followed by the crisp sound of glass breaking.

The man hurriedly got up and went to the living room, where he found that a glass in his living room had been shattered, and glass shards were scattered all over the floor.

The man started a fire namelessly, and staggered out of the window, only to find that there was no one outside the window.

"Who is so lacking in virtue? Smash the glass to play? Something is wrong! ! The man stood by the window and cursed.

After scolding angrily for a while, the man finally reluctantly cleaned up the glass residue. Suddenly, in the debris, the man found a small gourd, the black gourd was only the size of a thumb.

The man picked up the gourd and observed for a while, but he didn't find anything strange, "It seems that this broken glass is really unlucky!" ”

When he was about to throw it out, the gourd suddenly emitted a trace of white gas, and the white gas rose up, like a winding snake, in the man's gaze, the white gas went straight to the man's eyebrows, and the man was stiff and looked at it with a frightened face.

When the white qi penetrated the man's forehead, he lost consciousness. At the same time, a voice came from the gourd in the man's hand:

"This time the body seems to be a little different......"
