Chapter 34

"What is man? Is it a miracle, a light, or a plaything created by a higher being? Where do people come from, what is the ultimate meaning of life, countless religious people, philosophers, wise men, and explorers are constantly looking for the meaning of life, but they have never found the real answer, only inconsistent, few words to describe, in those time limits of death that I am alone, I have been thinking, what is man. ”

"What is it?"

Zhou Heng felt that something was wrong after asking, Shun couldn't be thinking about something crazy, his tone made Zhou Heng smell the smell of crazy preachers, this kind of people are crazy, the most important thing to get along with them is to never ignore them, as soon as you answer the conversation, you can be drowned out by words immediately.

"It's nothing, it's human, it's nothing." Shun sneered, raised his head and poured a can of beer.

"Huh?"

Zhou Heng was shocked, the situation took a turn for the worse, originally Zhou Heng thought that Shun was going to say a lot of nonsense, and then casually launched a gadget for people to believe, but what Shun said was unexpected.

"Why, do you think that a person like me would believe in such an ethereal, childish and ridiculous thing as God?

Zhou Heng didn't speak, feeling that Shun's behavior just now was a little ridiculous.

"How many people have died throughout the ages, strong, weak, wise, pathetic, one after another, the world is still turning, I don't know how many people have died, and then people still have to eat when they are hungry, and they still have to drink water when they are thirsty, you say, what kind of thing is this thing?" glanced at Zhou Heng obliquely, his eyes full of disdain.

Zhou Heng nodded, even if he didn't want to admit that Zhou Heng knew that for the whole world, his death was really no different from the death of an ant, not only Zhou Heng, but everyone on the earth was the same, no one could change anything if he died, and the people in the future who died would not be hungry to eat, thirsty to drink, and the life they should live still had to be lived, and no one could change anything, people, indeed, were nothing.

It's another can of beer, and there are beer cans densely packed around Shun, which looks larger than Shun's whole person, and he doesn't know how good Shun's drinking is, but Zhou Heng knows that Shun is already drunk, and he is ridiculously drunk.

"Do you know how big the Earth is?" The beer was drunk and asked.

Zhou Heng shook his head.

"Do you know how small you are compared to Earth?"

"It's not as good as dust." Zhou Heng sighed.

"You know." Shun's voice was a little bitter: "People, what can you do in the world?" What are you capable of? Regardless of the earth, if you look up at this starry sky, you can see how vast it is. ”

Zhou Heng shook his head, he was a little puzzled, what did Shun want to say.

"Hehe, people, how pitiful it is to be small in the universe, the volume of the earth alone is 1,083.2 billion cubic kilometers, and you, if you scrape and chop into sauce, there is absolutely not a cubic meter."

Looking at Zhou Heng with slanted eyes, Zhou Heng nodded, this world estimates that no one's volume can be scraped to one cubic meter.

"However, such an earth can only be regarded as dust in the universe, the Milky Way is 100,000 light-years long, and the smaller of the more than 200 billion stars included in the Milky Way alone -- the sun is 1.3 million times larger than the earth, and the sun and the galaxy are like a basketball and the earth, and there is no comparison at all."

Shun stood up excitedly and pointed to the sky: "Then, do you think the Milky Way is big?" If you look up at this starry sky, you can find about one-tenth of the area of the full moon, and if you can zoom in infinitely, you will find that there are at least 1,000 galaxies, each galaxy has about a trillion stars, and each star has a planetary system, most of which are no smaller than the sun. ”

Zhou Heng didn't speak, he felt a little suffocated, this world was far bigger than he imagined, and the big one made people feel frightened.

"And these galaxies are reincarnated between life and death every day, even if it is a dust larger than the sun, it is only a member of the universe that destroys countless times every day, so, are people great? No, in the entire universe, human beings are nothing, human beings are nothing, human beings have never changed anything, and they have no ability to change anything, even if the extinction of human beings in the next second will have no effect on the universe. And the word life is simply ridiculous, human beings are just a mixture of chemical elements a little more complex, the so-called wisdom is just a way to use the rules, human beings, like planets, stars obey the rules of the universe and live, at this point there is no difference between any other inanimate object, then, what is the meaning of such a unique us, such a weak us exist in this world. He looked at Zhou Heng straightly.

"I don't know?" Zhou Heng felt confused in the face of this philosophical problem, the meaning of life or something, Zhou Heng really didn't think about it, after the previous explanation, Zhou Heng also felt the insignificance and fragility of human beings, the pathetic weakness of powerlessness in the vast universe, countless people have died throughout the ages, famous, nameless, have disappeared in the rolling time, no one is an exception, no one has changed, so, what do people live for?

"I've been thinking about it, and since I entered this plane node, I've been thinking about what the meaning of human existence is, and what I'm entering this space for." Shun narrowed his eyes, he thought a lot, thought a lot, nearly a hundred life and death experiences made Shun continue to think after each near death, he needed a reason, needed a reason that would allow him to move forward, so during that period of time he thought a lot, a lot, from religion to philosophy, from books to movies and television, he watched a lot, thought a lot, he really understood the vastness of the world and the insignificance of human beings, so he despaired, worked hard, and finally

"Finally, I thought about it."

Shun murmured softly.

"Everything, I thought too much?" Shun let out a long breath.

"Huh?" Zhou Heng was puzzled.

"I've thought about too many things beyond my ability, and I can't even guarantee that I dare to think about the ultimate meaning of life."

"Have you ever seen a paramecium thinking about the meaning of life? Have you ever seen a snail lose its purpose in life? The result of my final thinking is that people are too self-righteous, always thinking that they are special and unique, but their abilities are so low, they are simply insignificant compared to the huge world, so I think too much, worry too much, contradict too many things, think about things that are beyond my ability, and insist on imposing explanations on things I don't understand, and finally I think too much and want to die. On the contrary, those who are unable to think, or who are intellectually inferior, have never been as complex and ridiculous as people, who only know, I am hungry, so I want to eat, and I am thirsty, so I want to drink, how simple, how interesting. ”

Zhou Heng looked puzzled, shook his head and asked.

"Like how did you feel when I was about to kill you?"

"I want to live."

Zhou Heng replied that at that time, there was only one thought in his mind.

"That's right, no matter how much I think about it afterwards, there will only be one thought in my head at the moment of death, I want to live, how simple, how pure. What is the goal of living, because I don't want to die, because I want to live, and that's the answer I came to, putting aside all complicated and boring thoughts, leaving only the purest heart, I, want to live. ”

He pointed to his chest.

Zhou Heng took a deep breath and felt a kind of pleasure from the inside out, it turned out that he was so unhappy in the past few days because of one reason, thinking too much.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, I feel much more comfortable to have someone like you to talk to."

When he got up the next day, Zhou Heng felt a headache, and a wonderful sense of unknown constantly lingered in his heart.

Zhou Heng exhaled, tomorrow is the last day of the preparation period, the upcoming task has made Zhou Heng feel a potential crisis, and Shun said that every task is very dangerous, and the strength of Yi Shun to crush Zhou Heng has encountered countless death crises, and Zhou Heng feels that he may have a hard time surviving.

These days seem to be very free, the pre-release of the task is a good preparation time, Shun and Zhou Heng are different, he is dispensable in the class, so in the spare time and various times that can skip class, he spent a lot of effort to investigate and study the surrounding buildings and various routes, and even a few days he and Zhou Heng went out together to steal several cars, in order to be ready for use, for the task, Zhou Heng and Shun often stay up all night at night, with the physical fitness beyond ordinary people, this continuous heavy physical labor can also bear it.

Unlike yesterday, it seems that Zhou Heng's force has been recognized, and many people have begun to look at Zhou Heng with fear intentionally or unintentionally, but this is also beneficial, at least no one dares to provoke Zhou Heng.

You don't need to care about anything, you don't need to think about anything, just wait for the task to come, the day will pass very quickly, and Zhou Heng waited until the afternoon of the next day.

"Attention all travelers, required and side quests will be announced in three hours." This sentence suddenly appeared in Zhou Heng's mind.
