I observed Li Damin for a while and found a very terrible reality.

Even though we were standing in the same room facing each other, he couldn't see me. At first, he greeted me, smiled at me, talked to me, and I thought he was communicating with me, but when I actually looked at it, I found that we couldn't communicate with each other.

I talked to him, and he couldn't hear. He talked to me, I responded, but he didn't look like he was receiving any feedback at all, and our communication wasn't on the same page.

He can't see me at all, which means that I'm not in this room at all, I don't belong to this world! Thinking of this, I suddenly had a thrill, and hurriedly walked into the bedroom and came to Li Damin's side. His eyes were focused on the straight ahead, and even when I came to the side, he didn't look at me.

I followed his gaze and didn't notice that there was a video camera hanging on the wall at the bedroom door. The camera's indicator light was always on, and the camera was aimed at Li Damin, who was dancing. In other words, Li Damin's series of behaviors such as talking and smiling are actually doing to the camera.

I crouched next to him, looking at the camera, and suddenly I felt an indescribable chill. Since he called my name to the camera, it was obvious that the video recorded by the camera would be sent to "me" in this world.

Where exactly am I? Why is there still a "me" in this world? My heart was pounding. Now everything is so eerie that it doesn't make any sense, it looks like it's broken, and I'm going crazy.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered, by the way, wasn't I in the underground base of the Kwantung Army? How did it end up here? I remember putting on my helmet and fainting as soon as my head hurt under the stimulation of the electric current......

Thinking about it, the pain came again, and I fell to the ground screaming. I felt as if there was a hoop hidden in my head, which was being strangled in a circle, and it hurt to jump and jump.

I slowly opened my eyes, wiped the sweat from my head, and saw that it was dark in front of me. I touched my head with my hand and touched the big helmet covered with wires. I gritted my teeth, slowly took it off, and sat down abruptly, covered in cold sweat.

I looked around, and yes, I was back in the real world. In the dark space, under the faint light of the flashlight, you can see the rows of dirty operating chairs in the large laboratory.

At a glance, I saw Zhong Xiu lying on the chair next to me, the girl's face was peaceful, like a sleeping beauty, her expression was calm and serene, as if she had returned to the arms of her mother when she was a child. I jumped out of my chair, a little top-heavy, and slowly walked up to Zhong Xiu, reaching out to touch her.

Zhong Xiu's body still has body temperature, but he doesn't react to my touch.

I took off the helmet from her head, but Zhongxiu still didn't wake up. I shook her gently and called her name: "Zhong Xiu, Zhong Xiu......"

I didn't have much interaction with Zhong Xiu, and I had a very good impression of her. In the team, like a big sister, she has been taking care of Wang Xiaoyu, and she is also full of kindness to me. Now, in such a weird and terrifying environment, I am surrounded by all kinds of demons, only this girl, gentle and kind, and makes me feel that there is a glimmer of light in this world.

She didn't react now, and there was not a single ripple on her quiet face, and I suddenly felt sad and sad.

"She's dead." A voice came.

I looked up and saw that Yao Bing jumped down from the trough and walked to Zhong Xiu's side, looking at her with pity.

"We've known each other for a long time, she's a very independent and kind girl, and she doesn't have the pampering of a rich family at all, and I have always regarded her as a sister." Yao Bing gently held her hand.

"What about the others?" I asked.

Yao Bing looked at the concrete trough: "The door of the underworld is open, and they enter." ”

"Why don't you go?" I asked.

Yao Bing smiled: "I'm waiting for you." ”

"You know I'll survive?" I look at him.

Yao Bing said: "After you and Zhong Xiu put on the helmet, they activated the gate of the underworld. The instrument shows that your activation value is the strongest. At that time, I was surprised, I had a strong premonition, you can wake up! ”

I looked at Zhong Xiu's corpse and muttered, "If there really is a netherworld, then Zhong Xiu will go one step ahead of you." ”

Yao Bing hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't think that this door to the underworld opened through physical experiments is the real underworld. ”

"Why?" I was surprised: "You mean, the underworld opened by you Japanese is two places with the real underworld?" ”

"It can be understood that way." Yao Bing said: "I talked to 377, and he, like me, is a survivor who has been to that underworld. Although he didn't understand what he had been through, I could feel that he knew a lot, and he left a last word: When I die, I can really go back. It shows that he knows that the space he went to through the experiment is not the underworld, and the real underworld can only be entered by real death. ”

"Then what is the space behind this door to the underworld that you opened?" I asked.

Yao Bing shook his head: "I don't know. Even if it's not the real hell, I think it has something to do with the real hell. Over the years, I have studied the scriptures of many sects in the world, hoping that with the help of the sages, I can find the true meaning of life and death. But until now, I have found that I still don't know anything about the questions I am facing, and there are no answers at all. There's a big shackle here that restricts us from going deeper, you know what? ”

"I don't know."

Yao Bing looked at Zhong Xiu's corpse and said slowly, "That is, we are still alive." ”

After hearing this, I felt a chill in my heart and looked at him quietly.

Yao Bing said: "No matter how much winter information the summer insect gets, the summer insect will never be able to understand winter. We, too, no matter how much information we get about death, will never know what it is like to die, unless we ...... You're dead. It's as if you ask me what is the difference between the underworld opened by physical experiments and the real underworld, and I can't answer you. By the time I can really answer you, we will be separated by yin and yang, one living and one dead. ”

I didn't speak, he was right.

"I call our human civilization a 'living' civilization, and this civilization is only a small part of the framework of a large civilization. It's like spreading out a blank sheet of paper, and all the processes of human civilization development are depicted on this blank paper. Living on this two-dimensional blank paper, you will never be able to understand what state is beyond the blank paper, let alone understand the large space formed by the interlacing of more latitudes. Yao Bing said.

I said, "What if a force emerges and completely shreds this blank piece of paper?" ”

Yao Bing smiled: "Then there is no value in re-exploring." Did you find the most interesting thing about this? The useless work of human beings trying to understand a world that is simply incomprehensible and trying to get out of a cycle of endless happiness is precisely the most valuable thing here. ”

He made a gesture, spread his palm, and said to his palm: "Only the existence of this piece of paper can reveal the value of the space beyond the paper." Don't you Chinese Taoists have this idea, only the existence of 'being' can know the value of 'nothing'. I remember that there is a saying in ancient Chinese books called 'the user of the vessel is empty', and it is precisely because of the existence of the empty space of the vessel that its tangible part is meaningful. ”

I carefully played with his words, and the more I thought about it, the deeper I felt. The way of thinking and world view revealed by the four words "the user is empty" is indeed a typical ancient Chinese Taoist thought.

"Liu Yang, now we are facing a death situation. Death is not a bad thing, but it is a state of cultivation that is free from the shackles of the flesh and goes from existence to nothingness. There are two paths for you to choose, one is to go to the underworld opened by the physics experiment with me, and the other is to commit suicide, maybe you can go to the real underworld where Zhong Xiu is. "Yao Bing is serious.

I thought about it for a while and said, "Death, you can die whenever and however you want, and you can go to the real underworld whenever you want." However, the inexplicable space opened up by physical experiments is not something that anyone can have a chance to see. I'll go down with you. ”

Yao Bing smiled: "Let's go." ”

We came to the edge of the trough, and I shone down with a flashlight and saw a whirlpool at the bottom of the trough. There was already a very thick black liquid at the bottom of the tank, and the black liquid was converging towards the center and slowly turning, and it could be seen that there should be a deep hole leading to the bottom.

Yao Bing followed the iron ladder to the bottom of the trough, and I followed him here. When I stepped on the black liquid, I felt like my whole foot was sticky, and it was especially difficult to walk.

We walked towards the center of the trough and I suddenly stopped him. Yao Bing looked at me with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"Go inside, can we come back?" I asked.

"Maybe, maybe not. Are you scared? He asked me.

"Sort of." I laughed.

He smiled and didn't speak, and kept walking, and I followed him.

When I arrived at the whirlpool, Yao Bing looked at me and said his last words: "Go back." “

After saying that, he jumped into the whirlpool, and the whole person was quickly strangled.

I took a deep breath and was about to jump down when an idea popped into my head, and I buzzed and was stupid.

Yao Bing just said "go back", I remember the suicide note of 377, which said "If I die, I can really go back", why did they use the words "go back"? Why didn't Yao Bing say that I "left" and "went", but used "went back".

Go back, these three words are very strange to use here. Generally speaking, only when you come from this place and then go back to this place, can you use the word "go back".

I don't know what that means, but something feels something wrong intuitively. By the time I realized that it was a little late, I realized that I couldn't get out.

The whole of his feet was stuck in the black liquid, as if he was being tightly wrapped around the top of his feet by something soft. And the most terrifying thing is that I am following these liquids, I am traveling towards the most central vortex point.

I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, could all this be a huge trap? I am like an ant on two-dimensional paper, aware that something is wrong in this world, but due to my own limitations, I cannot explore and think more.

One of the biggest problems with me is that I am very suspicious. No matter what, if there's something I'm not sure about, I'd rather pass up the opportunity than participate.

I looked at the whirlpool and already regretted it a little. Keep an eye on your feet and come up with a solution. I leaned over to untie my shoelaces so that my foot could be removed from my shoe. Then I took off my coat and spread it on top of the black liquid, I took a deep breath, slowly stretched out my feet, stepped on the clothes, the clothes sank slightly, but no black liquid came in, there was a door. I continued to lift my other foot and step on it.

At this point, I had reached the edge of the whirlpool. There seems to be a powerful suction force here, ready to devour everything like a black hole.

Step by step, I stepped on my clothes, and the soles of my feet became more and more unstable. I was about to reach the edge of my clothes, when suddenly my clothes suddenly sank, and I saw that my feet had already submerged in liquid.

My brain was cold, and I knew that I was done......
