Chapter 3: Pangu's Troubles

One

"When you first came out, it was like a horror movie. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info later a tragedy. Now it's a comedy. The style has changed so much. Is it really good? It was difficult for Chen Wusheng to accept the setting that Pangu was a square dance master.

And Chen Changsheng, who was at the scene at the time, was even more difficult to accept.

Because he saw with his own eyes that the old man patted the buttocks of a fat aunt in her fifties next to him when he said goodbye to his dance partners after stopping him.

Chen Changsheng noticed that his hand stayed on the fat aunt's ass for at least three seconds, and he squeezed it vigorously as he left.

This series of obscene actions, combined with the fat aunt's joyful face, made Chen Changsheng have a lot of resistance in the follow-up conversation with Pangu.

Until Pangu answered his current confusion.

"According to the vocabulary you can understand, you are now in the state of a spirit."

"Old man, I don't need you to tell me about this anymore." Chen Changsheng sighed.

"What if I told you that from the time I created this plane, until now, you are the first spirit?"

"And what happens to the other people when they die?" Chen Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said.

"Dead, naturally dead. No, no more. The old man made a spreading motion with his palm.

"So am I dead or not? Don't talk nonsense, okay? ”

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. In the setting of this world, there are no spirits. Your body is hardware, and your consciousness is software. When death occurs, consciousness also falls into a brief state of suspended animation due to the cessation of the hardware that carries it. When the body decays and is completely destroyed, the consciousness is also lost. And you are an exception. ”

With that, the old man slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and lit it. Waiting for Chen Changsheng to continue to ask.

Chen Changsheng ignored him, reached out and grabbed the pack of cigarettes, took out one, and lit it. Then he unceremoniously put the rest of the cigarette in his pocket.

The old man sneered, but didn't care, and continued: "It's a miracle that your consciousness can exist alone from your body. What surprised me even more was that this being was actually an entity. The consciousness that can be seen and touched is interesting. ”

Chen Changsheng spat out a puff of smoke rings: "There are 6 billion people in the world. Listen to you, I'm unique among the 6 billion people. Not to mention the solipsity in heaven and earth, there should be a superhuman level. But how did I find out that I didn't have any superpowers? ”

The old man's expression became serious. He held out a finger: "Your appearance is a bug, or rather, you are a virus that I don't know about." There are some things that I haven't figured out yet. Actually, I see two very different feelings in you. One is dangerous, as if your presence could threaten me. Rationally, this is not possible. There is also a feeling of intimacy. It's like living alone for a long time and suddenly discovering your own kind. But intellectually, this is also an impossible thing. ”

The old man's serious expression made Chen Changsheng a little uncomfortable. "I say, can you make that clear?"

A glimmer of essence flashed in the old man's eyes, and his obscene temperament suddenly disappeared, and a killing intent that reigned over the world appeared: "In this day's time, I thought about it 37 times, and I wanted to kill you." Because no matter what you are, as long as you destroy your consciousness, all possibilities will naturally not exist. ”

Chen Changsheng clenched his fists, took a step back, and made a defensive posture. He felt that the crazy old man in front of him could really burst out and attack him at any moment.

But the next moment, the old man's momentum suddenly weakened sharply. He sighed: "After thinking about it 37 times, I finally gave up on this idea. ”

Chen Changsheng suddenly noticed that the scene around him had changed.

A second ago, the two were standing in a corner of the square. The feet are stepping on solid concrete ground.

The next second, he felt like he was standing in the void.

Overhead, around, and under the feet, one cinematic picture after another appeared.

The old man waved his hand, pointed to these countless pictures and said, "I, Pangu, have created this big world, and this big world has created countless small worlds. From the roots, I am the creator of life in all this world. But now, these worlds continue to absorb my life force. If there is one more of you, what is there to fear? What's more, you might be able to help me. ”

Chen Changsheng looked at the old man in confusion, and was meeting the eyes that looked directly at him.

"You...... It is a key to this myriad of small worlds. The old man dragged out his voice and said word by word.

"Keys?"

"Not bad. Only you can open the door to the small world. Not even me. Although I don't know what you can do in those little worlds or how you can help me. But at the very least, I saw an opportunity for change in it. ”

"Hear you say that. I sort of get it. But you still didn't tell me. Why are you coming to me, and what can I do? ”

Chen Wusheng rubbed his head, the amount of information he received today was really a bit large.

"To put it simply, there is a space-time rift between the main plane and all the subplanes that acts as a buffer. And I'm just a conscious being. Although it is very special, it still can't pass through the rift in space. And I can't survive alone in other planes. ”

"May I?"

"It's not just you, it's all creatures with bodies. But after they passed through the rift in space-time, there was no way to open the doors of those planes. Only I can do this. So Pangu said I was a key. ”

"So you're a necessity and I'm not a must, so why look for me?"

"No, we can't do without one or the other. From the perspective of the setting of this world, a person's consciousness and his body are one-to-one correspondence, and there is no way to enter another person's body. So I can't go to the subplane through other people's bodies. Neither will any means of transportation. And we're essentially a human being, so it's just you. ”

"Since you can't mess around, how did you get to me?"

Chen Changsheng said: "This matter is a bit winding. In the main plane, it is impossible to change what has already happened. My body is dead, and it really doesn't exist in the main plane. Maybe they've been sent for cremation now. Moreover, in the setting of the main plane, there is no concept of time travel. ”

Chen Wusheng: "Let's get to the point! ”

Chen Changsheng: "In order to find a body for me so that I can enter the sub-plane, Pangu thought of a way. He asked me to choose a historical node on the main plane. He then duplicates this node to form another parallel plane right next to the main plane, which we call the new plane. Because it is a replica of the main plane, and it is next to the main plane, there is no dimensional crack in the middle, so I can freely come to this space and live here. And because it's a history that has happened. So there must be a former me in this plane. I chose August 31, 1998. The me inside is what you are now. Of course, this parallel plane is castrated. Humans here no longer have the ability to create sub-worlds. This is also very understandable, otherwise the matter of the main plane is not resolved, and the new plane will become a cancer again. ”

Chen Wusheng lost his voice and said: "So what you want to express is that the world I live in was created because Pangu wanted to help you complete the task?" So what are my past ten years? Just memories? ”

Chen Changsheng said: "First, we helped Pangu, not Pangu who helped me. Second, everything you remember is real, not false. Third, you, me, in the main plane, are dead. So you in this plane are the only you in all planes. I hope you don't dwell on the boring idea of whether you are a replica or not. ”

Chen Wusheng said: "Then why do you want to help Pangu?" ”

Chen Changsheng smiled bitterly: "I said that when I saw my corpse, I suddenly felt how boring my life was. Maybe I didn't do it to help him, but if I had the chance, why not do something interesting? Besides, I've already died once, what worse could happen? ”

Chen Wusheng said: "Then why did you let Pangu choose me at this time?" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Actually, I also want to try to see if I can change my life." Or the life that used to be. And to change, of course, the sooner the better. But I promised Pangu to go to other planes to find a way to help him. There are a variety of dangers that can be encountered in between. So this body can't be too young. All things considered, you're just the right age. Most importantly, I remember myself as I still have hope for the future at this age. Hope, sometimes a great force. This power may be decisive in what we are going to do. ”

Chen Wusheng said: "Can the future change? Is it because my parents won't die so early? ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Of course, don't you think that being able to predict the future will make a completely different change in your life?" ”

Chen Wusheng thought for a while and asked, "In that case, why didn't you rescue the person who jumped off the building just now?" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Some things can be changed, but there are some things I can't do. Do you already know who that person is? ”

Chen Wusheng said: "I just glanced at it just now, and I was so frightened that I didn't feel it. I didn't see who it was. ”

Chen Changsheng said: "I think so." I remember that it was only in the evening that my father came back and found out who had died. That person's name is Sun Xianyong, you should know him. ”

Chen Wusheng exclaimed: "Uncle Sun? Why did he jump off the building? ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Do you still remember Uncle Sun's wife?" ”

Chen Wusheng said: "I remember, but I haven't seen her for a while." ”

Chen Changsheng said: "She died a few days ago. It was Uncle Sun who killed her. ”

Chen Wusheng was even more surprised: "This, why is this?" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Uncle Sun left a suicide note in his house. The police should be able to find it soon. I also heard from my father later. Uncle Sun's wife was pregnant just a few months ago, but Uncle Sun was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, and there is no legal treatment. After his wife found out, she didn't want to be widowed and take care of the children alone in the future, so she secretly went to the hospital to beat it. Uncle Sun was very angry when he found out, and originally thought that he would be able to leave a bloodline after he died, but there was no hope. He killed his wife in the slightest moment. The body was also made of cement under the bed. ”

Chen Wusheng didn't know what to say for a while.

Chen Changsheng sighed: "Even if I save him, I will only die a few days later." Death is also a relief for him. These things will be known in a few days. ”

Chen Wusheng thought about it and sighed: "I still think I should save him, even if it is a few more days." ”

Chen Changsheng said: "To survive is sometimes not necessarily a blessing. ”

Chen Wusheng was silent, and after a while, he said, "Last question, why should I help you and that Pangu?" Don't say you're a meaningless answer like me. I am who I am, and I have my own life. ”

Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "If I don't come to you, you will continue my original fate." Do you remember, how many points did you take in the high school entrance examination this time? 10 points short of being able to get into a middle school. The price paid for this is 8,000 dollars. You will go to the middle school with one sentence, and you don't have to bear any responsibility for it after you finish speaking. But because of this, my parents had to ask someone to borrow money in a low voice. After graduating from high school, you didn't get into a good university. After 4 years of college life, I couldn't find a job to support myself. has always relied on the financial support of his parents to live. After your parents died, I don't think you would want to know what kind of life you lived. I didn't dare to go to the class reunion. I think this kind of life is boring, do you want to continue on such a path? Also, even if you don't think about yourself, don't you want to save your parents? ”

Chen Wusheng argued: "But now that you have appeared, can't all this be changed?" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Do you think that if you don't get involved in this matter, Pangu will still let me stay here?" And you don't really have a choice. I am also the equivalent of the master of this body. And my consciousness is much stronger than yours. There's no way you can stop me from taking control of this body. ”

Chen Wusheng found that he had no way to refute it at all. Because at this moment, this body no longer seems to belong to him.

Chen Changsheng comforted him and said, "This matter is meaningful to you and me. And I can promise you that unless necessary, you will always be in control of your body. Another thing is that some planes may have settings that allow people to regenerate bodies. When the time comes, maybe I'll be able to have another body. Whether or not you want to join me on the following adventures is up to you. ”

With that, he relinquished control of his body.

After listening to what Chen Changsheng said, he felt the combination of consciousness and body again, and Chen Wusheng's mood finally improved.

The next moment, he saw an additional figure in front of him.

A young man in a black T-shirt was smiling and reaching out to him.

"Hello, let's get acquainted again. My name is Chen Changsheng. ”

Looking at the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar face in front of him, Chen Wusheng seemed to feel that he had traveled through time and space.
