"Since then, I can't trust anyone anymore, I don't know how many people in the team are normal, I don't know who else I can trust, so, I haven't mentioned this matter to anyone, I even buried the body secretly to avoid being discovered by others and causing unnecessary chaos."

"After a few days with the people in the team, I gradually discovered that the ghost could still eat, and was not afraid of the sun, and even, once, I touched its hand, and found that it was still warm, so I came to a conclusion, this person is not a ghost, but what is it? I obviously found its corpse, but this person is still standing in front of me alive, and no matter how you look at it, there is no flaw, except for the great change in personality, memory, knowledge, speech and demeanor, all are exactly the same. ”

"So, I have another hypothesis, those people are the things we brought out of the door, they are exactly the same as us, they have the same knowledge, they have the same memories, but their feelings and thoughts are different."

"Then, I suddenly thought of something, which immediately made me creepy, I myself have been in, so, is there a person like me, who is staying in the dark corner at this time, peeking at me, maybe I will end up as a corpse."

"So, I made a decision, I had to leave them, get out of here, and on the seventeenth, while they were still sleeping, I left a note to find the well, and quietly left the group, at that time, I was so exhausted that I didn't think too much about it, and I forgot to bring water and food."

"This doomed me to not be able to go far, just when my body was about to reach the limit, I found a corpse in the desert, it turned out to be my own corpse, it was very strange to look at my own corpse, and it was very uncomfortable, and then, I instantly understood, why I never found another me, it turned out, he was the same as me, he wanted to escape from that group of things, but he died in the desert."

"And I'm going to be the next person to die in the desert, just as I was about to lose consciousness, they found me, dragged me to the door of the ruins, and threw me in, I could only see darkness, but I felt my body slowly disintegrating, I could clearly feel that my body was dissipating little by little, and finally I fainted, and when I woke up, I was already in this world."

At this point, Peng Jiamu stopped narrating and left time for Shulanruo to ask questions.

"Mr. Peng, why do you say that the people in your team are memes and not replicants? Is there any difference between the two?" Shulan carefully savored Pengamu's words, his narrative did not mention anything about memes, and he concluded that these replicants were memes, why?

"The so-called meme is like a pathogen, as long as there are suitable conditions, it can infinitely infect everything it can infect, I call this infection memetic pollution, after being contaminated by memes, there are many manifestations, just like bacteria, not all bacteria will only make people cold and fever, and not all bacteria are harmful to the human body, some even have a miraculous effect on the human body, I will not give an example here."

"The meme I came into contact with, its pollution manifests itself as a copy of an object that has been in contact with it, I don't know what kind of substance it can reproduce, in short, human beings can be copied, but, have you ever thought that the person who is copied is still a human? They have not experienced the growth process of ordinary people, they have not experienced the twists and turns of feelings, the baptism of society, they are just a body with a physical body, no soul, such a thing, can it be regarded as a human being?"

Shulanruo was silent, this was a very valuable question to think about, but now was not the time to discuss life or morality, she continued to ask, "Not to mention whether these are people or not, how did you know the word meme?" You can't know what a meme is without someone explaining it to you. ”

"How do you know?" Pengamu asked rhetorically.

"I stumbled upon it in Rain Village." Shulan blurted out without thinking.

"Me too!" Peng Jiamu looked into Shu Lanruo's eyes with a smile in his eyes.

The two looked at each other silently, without speaking, but they both understood what each other meant, and smart people don't need to speak too clearly.

"Mr. Peng, do you think our time travel has anything to do with memes?" Shulan Ruo asked.

"Yes, and it's very related, and, I think, memes and cubes are inextricably linked," Pengamu said, with some excitement on his face, "Maybe one of these two can get us back to Earth." ”

This was the first time that Shulan Ruo heard the hope of returning to Earth since she came to this world, and she couldn't help but get excited, "Mr. Peng, have you found any clues to go back over the years?"

Peng Jiamu nodded, and looked up at the sky again, at this time, the sky was completely dark, and the moon began to show its strengths, and the cold white moonlight splashed in the bamboo forest, but it brought a sense of seclusion, and the temperature seemed to be a little colder.

"There are very few clues, but there is finally a chance, but now you are still too weak, and knowing too much is not a good thing for you, I will tell you some things you can know at the right time, this world is more complicated than you think." Peng Jiamu stared at Shu Lanruo like a torch, and the content of his answer was very vague, as if he was worried about someone eavesdropping.

"Who is the other party?" Shulan Ruo asked.

Peng Jiamu stood up, put his head to Shu Lanruo's ear, and whispered, "They are not people. ”

After speaking, Peng Jiamu sat back and looked at Shu Lanruo seriously, "Everything you said in this pavilion today, please be sure to keep it confidential, you must not tell anyone, remember, you must not tell anyone!" That's an order! ”

If this kind of thing is told to others, others may not believe it, but the people who know about it seem to have something planned, these people have their own purposes, and they have evil intentions, and Shulan smells of conspiracy.

No matter in any time and space, people who hold secrets want to seize the opportunity to keep these unknown secrets for themselves and use them for themselves, and this will not change anywhere, this is human nature.

"Understood!" Shu Lanruo nodded, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone!" ”
