"It can't be." The words "total negative" were written on the face of the sixteenth, "What is the future?" It's something that didn't happen, we believe in science, it's theory, don't fool me with any feng shui divination. I don't believe anyone can see the future, even if that person is Li Qingshui! ”

"No, no, no, sixteen, don't get excited, I used the wrong word, to be precise, Li Qingshui did not see the future, but calculated the future......" No. 17 opened his baby's mouth and said a word loudly and firmly, "Calculate!" ”

"How will the future be calculated?" Sixteen frowned, "Is this something that can be calculated?" It's not a theoretical thing, the future is unpredictable, there is no formula, there is no reason, there are infinite variables, how to calculate? ”

"Do you really think the future is infinitely uncertain?" Seventeen smiled: "I don't think so, I believe that time is an axis!" There is no escape to the time cycle and the banana peel theory. ”

"Banana peel theory or ten-minute theory......" Sixteen seemed to be thinking about Seventeen's words, the pupils in his eyes suddenly increased and narrowed, he didn't know what he was thinking in his head, but his mouth unconsciously recounted the entire content of the ten-minute theory, as if he wanted to use this to strengthen something.

"The Ten Minute Theory, if time is an axis, can a person kill himself if he goes back ten minutes ago? The answer is no. Because this is a huge refutation, if a person goes back to ten minutes ago and kills himself, he will naturally not live ten minutes later, so how can he go back to ten minutes ago and kill himself after ten minutes? ”

"Therefore, if time is an axis, even if a person can go back ten minutes ago, he will definitely not be able to kill himself ten minutes ago. If he had to kill himself, at this point in time, countless uncontrollable forces would be squeezed out of him, he might be slipped by a banana peel and fall to death the moment he took out the knife, or he might be choked to death by a mouthful of saliva the moment he picked up the gun. As he spoke, Sixteen's eyes returned to firmness, "But Old Seventeen, although this theory is valid. But it's all based on the argument that time is an axis, what if time isn't an axis? What if time was made up of an infinite number of points, and every moment was a universe? Is the future still predestined? ”

"Hahaha, Sixteen, you're really a very smart guy, and you think of this question faster than I do." No. 17 stood in place and smiled: "Yes, if time is an axis, then the past cannot be changed, and if the past cannot be changed, then according to the principle of time continuation, the future is controllable." So, in order to deny that the future is controllable, you deny that time is an axis. But even if you deny this axis, I still think that the future is controllable or even predestined. ”

"What a sad argument." Sixteen looked into Seventeen's eyes, "What exactly do you see?" ”

"I see a sense of the future." Seventeen squinted, as if recalling what it was like when he first saw that feeling, "Or rather, I saw Li Qingshui's feelings about the future." ”

"A very pessimistic mood, I don't know what kind of world will go up after the four changes in the brain domain, but I seem to have felt a trace of Li Qingshui's emotions. And then, I'm thinking a lot about the world these days, about the big willow tree, about us. ”

"In the end, I came to the conclusion that even if time is not the axis, the future is predictable." When the seventeenth said this, there was a rare sadness in his eyes - this sadness seemed calm, just like the calm in front of Li Qingshui who sat up from the experimental bed, drank and looked at the photo, and faced the big willow tree.

"Old Sixteen, have you thought about it, in fact, even if you don't talk about the timeline, just say that our moment, our world, and our point, in fact, everything may be predestined." Seventeen looked at the sky and said, "Look at all the rules of this world, are they all predestined for us before we tried to change it?" The earth revolves around the sun, the moon revolves around the earth, the rivers flow into the sea, the rocks fall into the earth, these are the rules of the universe, these are all things that no one can change, we can use them, but we can never change them - because this is predetermined. ”

"And then look at us human beings, many things are also predestined, and the spiral rules of our genes and the various physical rules in the universe are actually almost the same thing." Number 17 said, "We are destined to be what we are born to be." Our genes determine all of our anatomies and most, or at least half, of our caste traits......"

"But what about half of it? How can it be said that the future is predictable? Old [***] exclaimed, as if he wanted to use this cry to vent his feelings that he did not want to believe—for there was nothing more sad in this world than the future could have predicted.

Because, predictable means four words - fate.

"Acquired? Haha, it's the only thing that's not so, but it's the thing that makes you feel like you've been tricked the most. Seventeen laughed, gestured with his immature fingers, and clicked countless dots in the air, "On this earth, everyone is a dot, or rather, no life is a dot. From the moment they are born, these points are determined where they go, in which environment, and under which rules. So, you see, what do you find when you connect all these dots? ”

Seventeen drew dotted lines in the air, linking the dots that had just been marked with those dots. Then the dots in the air, connected by his constant gestures, finally intertwined into a huge web—a huge net that looked like an invisible hand.

"This is, fate?" Sixteen shouted, "Hand of Fate? ”

"Yes, I also call this abominable thing that." Pointing to the huge net in the sky, Seventeen said: "Every life is a point, and the shape and character of this point are half determined by the spiral rules by nature, and the day after tomorrow, under the influence of various cosmic rules and original forces and spiral rules, it has also determined his code of conduct. What he will do, what kind of people he will meet, what kind of people he will be influenced by. ”

"Although each point will affect each other, because the distance of relatives is different, and the influence between points is different, but each point will affect each other. Then, you can see that these dots, although they affect each other, have their place since the moment they are born, and then they are all in this net no matter how much they influence each other. ”

"In layman's terms, a person's surname and surname account for half of the congenital and half of the acquired surname. And the so-called acquired is what other people have created for you, but if you look closely, you will find that your acquired is actually the innate of other people, so no matter how this net affects each other, it is still immutable after being linked by various rules. This net is our present, our here, our moment. ”

"So, after mastering all the intelligent beings and creatures, in fact, to a certain extent, you have mastered the present, and you can be called Gaia." Seventeen said.

"Just like a willow tree?" Sixteenth looked to the north, "Although intelligent beings have intelligence, they are still in the net, and other species that only have innate habits and no intelligence are even more in the net. ”

"Well, Willow can't be called Gaia, he's just a guy challenging Gaia at best. Because he can't master the whole net, he can't master the rules of time, space, and the universe. Speaking of this, No. 17 waved his hand, and seemed to wave the invisible net in the air forward, "In an instant, everything is destined, so even if we cast this net into the long river of time, our flow can be doomed after all." ”

"So, I said that Li Qingshui saw the future." Seventeen sighed, "Or maybe I calculated the future." When his brain domain is so broad that he can perceive all the rules of the universe around him, and he can perceive all the rules of living beings around him, he can calculate the future to a certain extent. ”

"What a lot of calculations is that?" When Sixteen heard this conclusion, a cold sweat gradually broke out on his head, "Is that guy still human?" ”

"I can see the future, and I don't define him as a human anymore." Seventeen sighed deeply, "I always thought I was the closest to that guy, after all, I was the last to be cloned. But now the closer I get to him, the more I realize how far away I am from him. ”

"Seeing the future, what does that guy want to do?" The more Sixteen thought about it, the more confused he felt, "He knows the future, why did he choose to die by himself?" Also, is that Willow guy really in control of the present? ”

"I don't know, I really don't know." Seventeen shook his head, shaking very dejectedly, "I really can't guess what these two guys are thinking, two crazy people, one wants to challenge Gaia, the other wants to change the future, I don't know what these two guys are thinking, and I may never know in the future." But I want to ......"

"Back to our final and original question, I think that since that guy Li Qingshui has seen the future, I think, Liu Chang will not die in the battle with Liu in the future." No. 17 squinted his eyes, "Even if the data we calculate is that Liu Chang will die 100% when he encounters the stream!" ”

"Since Liu Chang is destined not to die in the future, no matter how 100% he is, there should be variables!"
