Chapter 381: "Him"
Xia Qing, who had not spoken, finally spoke: "48 hours a day, do you mean that the people here, their biological clocks have been adjusted?" ”
Xiao Cui said with a smile: "They have become accustomed to the lifestyle here, including their work and rest time, eating habits, and even the metabolic cycle of their body cells, which have changed, for them, the time here has slowed down, their day is 48 hours, so ......"
Xia Qing interjected: "So they will live one day longer than us, and they will also live twice as long as us." ”
Xiao Cui nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Xia Qing exclaimed, "It seems that the cave theory is correct, and it has been verified. ”
Gao Chao wondered: "What is the cave theory?" ”
Xia Qing explained: "In 1832, a German biologist once boldly hypothesized that if a person or an animal is enclosed in a cave, artificially disturbing his living habits and gradually prolonging his perception of time, after a long period of adjustment, the natural biological clock of this person or animal will change, resulting in changes in his cell metabolism, theoretically speaking, his time will be extended, and his life will naturally be extended. ”
Gao Chao shook his head in confusion and said, "This sounds like a fallacy. ”
Xia Qing didn't speak, just shrugged his shoulders.
Xiao Cui smiled and said: "But this did happen, you know, the place you enter now does not exist at all, in other words, everyone who enters here does not exist at all." ”
Gao Chao certainly understood the meaning of this sentence, and he looked at Xia Qing beside him. The two of them looked at each other, and they both had the same expression on their faces.
Once upon a time, who would have thought that they had disappeared from this world, that they no longer existed, even though death could have such an effect. But after all, they are not dead, but who has such power has made them disappear from the world like this.
The dinner here is as incredible as the setting.
The fat man seemed to be about to be strung to death, and he clamored for another one, but for the sake of his health, Xiao Cui refused his request, which made the fat man feel very unhappy, and he could only sit on the side angrily, as if he hadn't eaten enough.
This dinner tastes good. Although Gao Chao was not in the mood to enjoy the deliciousness, he couldn't help but eat two servings in the face of such a delicious meal.
After a full meal, Cui led them to her rest area.
It's even more impressive.
There are windows in every room, and these windows can be opened.
When the window is opened, warm and moist air blows in through the window, and there is still sunlight outside the window, and even running deer. Singing birds, but just press a button on the wall. Immediately everything outside the window would fall silent, and the sunlight would be gone, replaced by the faint moonlight and the chirping of the crickets, all of which at once would form a beautiful serenade to make one lie in bed. I fell asleep.
This place is simply incredible.
Gao Chao was lying on the bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window, and he suddenly smiled.
It's a wry smile.
He knew that it must not be the real starry sky, and of course he knew that even the window was fake.
It's as if everything here is fake.
He only smiled wryly.
He suddenly felt that he had become very ridiculous. Because he had enjoyed the things before, including the sumptuous and delicious dinner, the wide, clean hallway, and of course, the bed on which he was lying now.
The bed was wonderful, as if he had never slept in such a comfortable bed, and he now had the feeling of enjoying it again, but suddenly a disgust arose in his heart.
This feeling of disgust made Gao Chao wake up immediately, and he began to constantly warn himself that everything here is man-made, false, although this is not an illusion, but everything here is not worth his expectation at all, not worthy of his nostalgia, and not worth his enjoyment.
What he needs is the real world, the real self, but he has lost this feeling that seems to be extremely easy to obtain.
In this world, there are too many people who have lost themselves, just like Gao Chao.
Before he knew it, he was asleep.
In the dream, he returned to his home, and although he knew that it was not his home, he would rather be deceived in the dream, because the dream was illusory and did not exist, but he hoped that the dream would never wake up.
The world in the dream seems to be more believable than the real world.
Early the next morning.
They haven't seen "him" yet.
The "he" in Xiao Cui's mouth was at the end of the corridor in front of him at this moment.
This is a very large office, so much so that when Gao Chao, Xia Qing, and the fat man walked into this office, they couldn't even find "him" in the first place.
"Here they are." Cui whispered at the door, then turned and walked out of the office, closing the door softly outside the door.
Only then did the three of them notice that in the deepest part of this office, there was a desk, a pure white table.
The desk was as exaggerated as this office, and it was surprisingly large.
It's no exaggeration to say that if this table were full, they would fill an average bus.
There was only one person sitting at such a large table.
But they still couldn't see him, because he was sitting on a chair, one that was also white, and one that was facing away from them.
They just walked in and stood at the table.
They just looked at "his" back, and his back didn't look very good, at least not as they had imagined.
"This back looks a little familiar."
Gao Chao thought so in his heart.
But none of them spoke.
In such a large office, there is only a desk and a chair, and they can only stand at the table, even if they want to sit down, there is no place to sit.
"He" hadn't turned around yet, they were just looking at his back.
Gao Chao was wondering, what kind of person was "he", and why did he decorate his office like this? Is it only in this way that his status can be revealed?
Gao Chao was thinking nonsense, but "he" finally stood up slowly.
He was not tall, his body looked a little fat, he was wearing a blue uniform, and he turned around slowly.
"We meet again."
This was the first sentence that "he" said, and at this time, he hadn't completely turned around, but "his" voice had already made Gao Chao and the three of them stunned.
By the time "he" had fully turned, they finally saw his face.
It was a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
