Chapter 281: Eighty-Nine Coincidents
After the investigator asked this question, Xiao Yun fell silent, and then his brain began to work rapidly.
In the middle of the ring, Xiao Yuncai said, "What do you mean by this question?" ”
"It's simple." The researcher snapped his fingers, "We're trying to figure out how special you are to explain why you're the only one who survived the onslaught of unknown extraterrestrial life." ”
Xiao Yun was a little ridiculous about this question: "I'm sorry, your question makes me very confused, I don't know if I heard it wrong or you asked it wrong, I want to confirm it to you again: you doubt, because I am the only one who thinks that some special material on a cold star is conducive to the development of new computing chips, so those alien beings let me go?" Do you think there is a causal relationship between these two events? ”
"If all the other possibilities are ruled out, then only this one possibility remains." "No matter how incredible it may seem, it will be the only truth." ”
Xiao Yun spread his hands: "Why don't you think it's my luck?" ”
"We've carefully analyzed the surveillance data you brought back." "After you landed on the only planet in the Raqqa system, numbered Raqqa B, you established a semi-permanent base of survival, and there is a steady data channel between the base and the orbital Stardust spacecraft, so everything that happens at the base is recorded and transmitted back to the Stardust spacecraft. It was by analyzing this monitoring data that we came to this conclusion. That is...... We don't think you escaped because you were lucky. ”
"Why?" Xiao Yun asked.
"Didn't you feel that way back then?" The investigator asked rhetorically, "Look here." ”
Another investigator who was with him turned on the instrument and worked on it. So a three-dimensional projection image appeared between Xiao Yun and the two investigators.
The shooting angle is above. So Xiao Yun seemed to have a kind of God's perspective. It was the same nightmare that happened again.
The fear, anger, sadness, despair and other emotions in Xiao Yun's heart began to churn again. But at this moment, the researcher's indifferent and calm voice dragged Xiao Yun out of his memory: "Look here. ”
The three-dimensional projection freezes instantly, and in this picture, a grotesque thing with a metallic sheen all over its body, as if it were some kind of metal machine in the shape of a bug, is dancing its teeth and claws in a passage. In front of it was Xiao Yun, who looked terrified, and several teammates who had already died in that catastrophe.
Xiao Yun said gloomily: "I remember that time. ”
"But you're ignoring something." "Look," the investigator said, "Look...... At this time, this monster can easily harvest your life - by that time you have used up all your ammo, your energy weapons are no longer available, you can only use some primitive cold weapons against the enemy - as long as it stretches its limbs forward, you will be killed, but ...... You're not dead. It's like they're deliberately avoiding you, just bypassing you and starting to slaughter your teammates...... When you start to flee in panic. They didn't chase ...... either."
As the investigators recounted, the things that had passed began to replay in Xiao Yun's mind again. In the past. Xiao Yun had never thought of this, but after the investigators said this at this moment, Xiao Yun also noticed the strangeness in it.
Seem...... It's really like they say, those alien monsters deliberately avoid themselves.
Xiao Yun felt that his head was a little messy. After thinking for a while, Xiao Yun said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence. ”
"Coincidence? No. The investigator shook his head: "If this time is a coincidence, then what about this time?" And this time? And this time...... We found this coincidence in surveillance footage a total of eighty-nine times, and each time you didn't die, you were the only one who escaped to the warehouse where the spacesuit was stored, and then relied on the personal flight system on the spacesuit to escape from the surface of Raqqa B to the Stardust spacecraft. And the rest of the people...... All are dead. ”
Xiao Yun only felt as if his head had been hit by a sledgehammer, and his ears were full of that kind of buzzing sound, and it seemed that Venus was beginning to emerge in front of him. But in the midst of this dizziness, the investigator's words still echoed in Xiao Yun's mind like a spell: "All are dead, all are dead......
One coincidence is a coincidence, eighty-nine coincidences...... It can only be inevitable. In other words, it was really those alien monsters who deliberately let Xiao Yun go, not Xiao Yun who relied on his luck and hard work to finally escape.
But...... Why did they let me go? Why did you kill all my teammates, even my lover, even my dearest friends, and I was the only one left? Why am I the only one left?!
Astronautics can go on for a long time, so it's not uncommon to find a lover or meet friends with similar interests during the voyage. The time when the Stardust spacecraft went was the happiest time in Xiao Yun's life, with lovers and friends, everything was so harmonious, everything was so sweet. So...... The return of the Stardust spacecraft has also become the most painful time in Xiao Yun's life.
"Why did they let me go?" Xiao Yun asked a little dejectedly.
"I don't know." The investigator's answer was very simple, "It's because we don't know that we're interested in some of your peculiarities." We try to find out what makes you different from the rest of the people killed and try to explain your survival. Obviously, your identity as an AI expert is the biggest difference from others. ”
Another investigator added: "There are physicists, biologists, mathematicians, astronomers, psychologists and so on on board the Stardust spacecraft, and only you are an expert in artificial intelligence." ”
The first investigator continued: "So we're wondering if your identity allowed you to survive. ”
"But there's no reason for this...... Xiao Yun said in despair, "my identity...... What does it have to do with my survival? Even if there is a relationship between the two, those alien monsters ...... How did you know who I was? ”
It's ridiculous, it's incredible. It is a lost world that is dozens of light-years away from the solar system, and before the arrival of the Stardust spacecraft, only two unmanned probes have reached there, and before Xiao Yun's group, no one has ever known that there is some form of life there, but the monitoring data of the Stardust spacecraft shows that it ...... Did the monsters there deliberately spare themselves?
Why?
In the face of Xiao Yun's question, the two investigators were silent, and the room was quiet again.
Those many images began to repeat themselves in Xiao Yun's mind again, from the first discovery of the traces of unknown creatures, to the unknown creatures breaking through the gate of the base, to the teammates beginning to take resistance measures, to the fact that everyone except himself was killed, and he fled to the warehouse, and escaped from the planet with the help of the flying equipment on the spacesuit at the critical moment...... All of this in less than two hours.
Two hours ago, it was heaven, two hours later, it was hell.
It was also the experience of these two hours that made Xiao Yun know that all the scenery above the planet Raqqa, including the thick clouds, the dark surface world, the streams and lakes generated by the geothermal heat, the rolling peaks, and the boundless plains...... All this will become a nightmare that haunts me for the rest of my life.
After a long silence, one of the investigators spoke: "Xiao Yun, please rest assured, we will investigate all this clearly, just three days ago, a large scientific research spacecraft had left the solar system under the escort of five "Taishan"-class combat spaceships and set off for the Raqqa system. With the arrival of these ships, all the puzzles will be revealed. All we need is wait. ”
Xiao Yun said in despair: "Wait? ”
"Yes, wait." "It will take about forty years for the ship to go back and forth and the survey, and if nothing else, you have at least four hundred years to live, so don't worry, everything will fall into place." ”
Xiao Yun lowered his head and did not speak.
The two investigators looked at each other, then stood up together. "I thought that telling you that 'your escape was not due to luck, but to the deliberate indulgence of an unknown alien creature' would remind you of some clues, but now it seems that there is nothing to gain other than to make you a little more depressed," said one investigator. We apologize for that. ”
Another investigator patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder: "I heard that you are an outstanding expert in artificial intelligence, and you have won the praise of many seniors at the age of less than 100...... Life always goes on, forget the dark things of the past, there are many beautiful things in this life, don't you? ”
"That's it, I'm sorry to bother you today, we'll take our leave." The two investigators spoke, shook Xiao Yun's hand, and then turned to leave.
The sun had just risen outside. Xiao Yun opened the curtains and let the weak winter sun shine on him, his eyes full of confusion.
"What the hell are you for...... What did you let me go? Xiao Yun muttered to the sun. (To be continued.) )
