Chapter 13: Voices
I don't know how long it took, Tong Shuo gradually regained consciousness, opened his eyes and looked out the window, it was already evening.
Tong Shuo felt like his whole body was sore like an electric shock, but his brain was still quite clear, and he looked around and found that Zhao Xuechao was gone, "It seems that I have successfully absorbed this memory." ”
Suddenly, Tong Shuo felt a blur in front of him, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
That's right, the memory was restored, and Tong Shuo finally saw this so-called virtual world completely, but with the recovery of memory, what brought Tong Shuo was not a detached mentality, but a sense of sadness. It turns out that everything is so false, and everyone, their behavior, is in a predetermined form.
Tong Shuo shook his palm, when he really has the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood, his twenty years of living in the virtual world is really like a dream of Nanke, but even if it is a dream, what makes Tong Shuo feel the most is the memory of his parents.
Compared with this virtual world, Tong Shuo in reality is not so lucky. Tong Shuo finally recalled his real memory, it turned out that in the real world, he was just an orphan, he grew up in an orphanage, and he didn't know the slightest bit of information about his biological parents. No one has paid attention since he was a child, and his qualifications are mediocre, and he is the most inconspicuous existence in the crowd.
"What a sad memory, I'd rather live in this virtual world. Sure enough, dreams and reality are always opposites. Tong Shuo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood up, as if he already had the ability to see through everything.
Walking out of the lounge, it was already dark outside, and there was no one in front of the lecture hall.
(It's strange how this person is here alone.) )
Tong Shuo heard a small voice.
"Who? Who's talking? Tong Shuo looked around, but there was no one around, only a girl passing by on the other side of the road.
(What does this person want to do, why does he keep staring at me, is it a bad person, I'd better hurry back to the dormitory.) )
Why? A huge question mark rose in Tong Shuo's heart. Why is this girl not speaking, but I can hear her voice?
Voice.
A word exploded in Tong Shuo's heart, could it be that now I can feel the voices of everyone in this world?
Tong Shuo tried to test this idea and tried to go to some places with a lot of people. Next to the basketball court, Tong Shuo walked over, looked at the students playing in the field through the guardrail, and listened quietly.
Sure enough, Tong Shuo heard all the strange sounds.
(This kid plays so alone, I won't be with him next time.) )
(How can this teammate be so stupid and not know how to defend at all.) )
(Huh?) The girl on the sidelines is very beautiful, and I will ask her for a contact information in a while. Alas, how to go! )
(I don't want to fight, I'm so tired, do you want to pretend to have cramps and go to rest.) )
。。。
That's right, I can indeed hear their voices, is it because I absorbed Zhao Xuechao's memory?
"Tong Shuo!"
Is it the voice of the heart, no, someone is calling himself, Tong Shuo looked for the voice, and saw a fat figure walking towards him, it turned out to be the principal.
"I didn't think you still like basketball." The principal patted Tong Shuo on the shoulder, showing a serious look.
Facing the principal, Tong Shuo smelled a smell of alcohol, it seemed that the principal had just participated in the dinner. "I'm just passing by here and watching them play, but I'm not good at sports."
The principal laughed: "Young people should not just study, exercise appropriately, exercise and exercise, the body is the capital of the revolution." ”
Tong Shuo could only echo and said: "What the principal said is that I will also participate in more sports in the future." You have just finished your meal for a walk. Tong Shuo looked at the principal with a red face, and became suspicious: Why can't he hear the principal's heart, is it because he is drunk?
"Haha, yes." The principal pursed his stomach and said, "Isn't this Xuechao coming to the school to give a speech, inviting him to have a meal, and he came back as soon as he was sent away. ”
Tong Shuo couldn't believe his ears, why is Zhao Xuechao still there, all Zhao Xuechao's memories have not been me... Tong Shuo concentrated and tried to hear the principal's heart, but it was all in vain, the principal was different from others, and Tong Shuo couldn't hear his heart at all.
"Young man, work hard~" The principal patted Tong Shuo on the shoulder and walked towards the office building.
Tong Shuo was about to chase over and ask about Zhao Xuechao, but was stopped from behind, it turned out to be a roommate in the dormitory, "Where did you go today?" We looked for you all afternoon. ”
"yes, didn't we say we'd go out to dinner together in the evening?" Another roommate followed.
Tong Shuo remembered that he had promised his roommate to go out for dinner together at night, and immediately scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I was delayed today, and I forgot to inform you." ”
(Good students are really different, I just saw you and the principal talking quietly, and I must have decided something.) )
Suddenly, Tong Shuo heard the voice of his roommate, but why could I only hear the voice of one person?
"We're going back to the dormitory, can we go back together?"
Tong Shuo waved his hand: "You guys go back first, I still have some things." ”
"Alright then, let's go first."
(What can happen so late, it must be behind our back.) )
Tong Shuo heard another sentence in his heart, and sighed helplessly: "Alas, I didn't expect human nature to be so complicated, so tired." ”
Tong Shuo wandered around the campus alone, gradually getting used to listening to the countless voices around him.
(Looks like you've regained your memory.) )
"Who is it?" Tong Shuo became alert, why could someone talk to me through his heart.
Tong Shuo stopped, looked around, and didn't find anything unusual.
(Don't look for it, I'll just sit on a chair on the side of the road.) )
Tong Shuo felt that the voice was so familiar, sitting on the side of the road? Tong Shuo looked at the seats on both sides of the road, all occupied by couples.
(Look to the right again.) )
Finally, Tong Shuo found the source of his heart, it was that familiar figure------ Zhao Xuechao!
Why, why is this person still there.
Tong Shuo immediately became alert and slowly approached, with an inexplicable worry in his heart.
(Long time no see, sit down.) )
I haven't seen him for a long time, Tong Shuo heard the point, and carefully observed Zhao Xuechao in front of him, dressed the same as in the afternoon, but his expression was wrong. "Ahh You are...! ”
(That's right, now I've successfully replaced my identity as a young man, because you absorbed that memory, so in order to maintain the temporary stability of this virtual world, I have to come out and take the place of this character.) )
"No wonder you can communicate with me in your heart, but why can't I hear some people's hearts?" Tong Shuo couldn't help but ask Zhao Xuechao for answers.
Zhao Xuechao finally spoke: "Now you are different from before, because the memories you have received have awakened your brain, and now you can feel the world with a completely clear mind." Since this world is made up of the brains of your twelve subjects, in other words, one-twelfth of this world belongs to your brain, so you can hear the voices of some people, about one-twelfth of this world. ”
"I see, no wonder I can't hear the principal and my roommate." Tong Shuo suddenly realized. "But if you can hear the voice of one-twelfth, it will be of great help in the future."
Zhao Xuechao saw that Tong Shuo was so proud, and immediately poured a basin of cold water: "With the current situation, you can only listen to Tong get some superficial voices, if someone hides their inner thoughts deeply, then you have no way to hear them." But there's another kind of human voice that you can't hear anyway. ”
"What kind of person?" Tong Shuo asked curiously.
Zhao Xuechao didn't speak, and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
(Voices of the remaining eleven test subjects.) )
