Chapter Ninety-Six: Divergence

Just when I was still wondering where these two guys were, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and I looked in the direction of the door, and found that the people who came in turned out to be the monk and Nangong. The two of them were also surprised when they saw me, Nangong ran to me, squatted down and began to check my injuries, and only relieved when they found that I was fine.

Seeing the two of them, I immediately felt a lot more relieved, smiled at Nangong, and said, "Why did you two come up again?" Are the soldiers gone? ”

Nangong looked at me in surprise and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, I still want to ask how you came down?" ”

Nangong's question made me a little confused, so I had to ask rhetorically, "Where is this?" What did I get down? ”

The monk came over at this time and said to me, "This is the third floor, why did you run down by yourself?" What about the four of them? ”

This is the third floor? Could it be that Gu Wencheng knocked me out and brought me down? But hasn't that elevator been driven down by the monks? How did he get me here? And how did the two of them disappear right under my nose?

I didn't know how to answer the monk, and for a while many questions popped up in my head. It may be that Gu Wencheng's kettle knocked me a little concussive before, and the more I thought about it, the more my head hurt, and finally I only felt that the sweat on my head had begun to slowly rise.

Nangong wiped my sweat for me, frowned and asked me, "What's wrong with you?" If there's something you can't figure out, let's talk about it together, and maybe we can find the answer. ”

I exhaled deeply and told the monks all about what I had just experienced. It also includes a lot of my questions and judgments.

After the monk and Nangong listened to my narration, they all fell silent, I knew that the two of them also had a lot of doubts in many places, and for a while the three of us didn't speak, and the atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

After a long while, Nangong first asked, "Time has no meaning here, what does this sentence mean?" Does time stand still in this world? ”

Thinking that Gu Wencheng has lived here for so long, and I don't believe that anyone can create such a ridiculous lie, and his lie has that terrifying face as proof. Is it true that time does not work here, and life can reach an infinite continuation here?

Just when I was about to say something, the monk spoke first, "You say that time doesn't work here, but do you really understand time?" What do you think time is? ”

What is time? It's a question I don't think I've ever thought about. Because for me, time is time. Like many basic elements in this world, time is time, the most basic principle that does not need to be explained.

Just as one plus one equals two, these are things that don't need to be explained, the most basic elements that have existed since the beginning of the existence of this world. However, the monk asked me what time was. It made me suddenly feel alien to the world, as if I had never understood it.

Nangong glanced at the monk and said, "Time is change, and it is the direction in which everything changes since the birth of the universe. ”

The monk nodded, expressing his agreement with Nangong, and then continued: "You are talking about the philosophical definition of time, and time is the dimension in which things change in the universe. So do you think it's possible that time doesn't work here? ”

The words of the monk and Nangong gave me a certain understanding of time, and to be honest, although what they said seemed to be a bit philosophical, I could barely understand it.

The so-called time is the unit of measurement of the change of things, and as long as the world changes, then there must be time. Even if there is only one person in this world, even if this person exists in nothingness. Then he was bored and pooped, then time also exists, time is the process of this person's, and it is the measure of the from less to more.

It's a bit disgusting to say that, but it should be able to explain the two of them more clearly. So, Gu Wencheng hasn't died for so long and remains young, doesn't it mean that time has lost its effect on his life?

Nangong asked this question directly for me, and the monk thought about it and said: "You still have too narrow an understanding of time, Gu Wencheng's life has indeed undergone some changes, but it must not be said that he is free from the time limit." As far as he is concerned, although his life has been extended, his surroundings are full of changes all the time. Our appearance is a change for him, so he is absolutely not out of the time limit. ”

It is a little difficult for me to understand the words of the monk, who does not only address the life form, but all the circumstances around a life form. According to his understanding, then there is no object in this universe that can exist independently from the constraints of time, after all, even if it is an atom, its surroundings will change, and it is impossible to remain solid all the time.

I glanced at the monk and said, "So, what do you think happened to Gu Wencheng?" How could he have lived so long, and his face, have you ever heard of a case like that? ”

The monk shook his head and said, "There are so many things in this world that we can't understand, and although I don't know what happened to him, I'm sure it must have something to do with the secret below, so we can solve it as long as we go on." ”

Looking at the monk's eyes without any hesitation, I doubted his judgment for the first time. Gu Wencheng's words have been circling in my mind, although I am also curious about his experience, and I also want to find out. But I still decided to leave here with Nangong, because I didn't want Nangong to go through that kind of inhuman experience like Gu Wencheng.

I turned my head, looked at Nangong and said, "Now that no one forces us to go down anymore, let's go up now and leave here." ”

Nangong looked at the monk, and her eyes were full of inquiries, she was asking for the monk's opinion. The monk didn't seem to see Nangong's gaze, but looked at me. I knew that he wanted me to stay, and that was because he felt that I could take him to the Buddha.

In this way, the three of us fell into an awkward cycle, I don't understand why Nangong is staying now, everything here has completely deviated from my common sense. Although I am also curious about the secrets below, years of habit have long taught me to restrain my curiosity, and everything is aimed at achieving the ultimate goal.

In the end, it was Nangong who interrupted the awkward calm, and she shook her head at me.

My heart stopped beating suddenly, I looked at her and said, "You have no reason to stay any longer." ”

Nangong looked at me and said, "I have, because I'm a policeman." ”
