At this moment, Chen Mo glanced at the man with some surprise, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Yu beside him, his eyes full of puzzlement. And at this moment, Xiao Yu has a sense of relief. Xiao Yu also smiled and said, "Why not? ”

"I think you already know who I am. But as a sign of respect for you, I would like to introduce myself. I am the Guardian, the Guardian who carried out the completion plan, created you, and made the spokesperson Chen Mo born on the earth instead of the lizardman civilization, and then fell in love with you. ”

"Oh, hello, I'm Xiao Yu." Xiao Yu also said with a smile. Then Xiao Yu took Chen Mo by the hand, stepped on the void, and walked towards this magnificent palace. The Guardian led the way in front of him, guiding Xiao Yu and Chen Mo all the way to a palatial small living room with a strong Earth Age construction style.

On this path, the defenders never looked back at Xiao Yu and Chen Mo. It seemed that he knew that Chen Mo and Xiao Yu would definitely follow him here and would not attack him halfway.

"Would you like something to drink?" The defender picked up a bottle that seemed to be wine and asked Chen Mo and Xiao Yu. Before Xiao Yu could answer, he poured Xiao Yu a cup for himself, but did not pour it for Chen Mo. It seemed that he knew that Xiao Yu would definitely accept his invitation to have a drink, but Chen Mo would choose to refuse.

Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yu with some concern, but Xiao Yu let go of Chen Mo's hand, picked up the wine glass and touched it with the defender, and then drank it all. After putting down the wine glass, Xiao Yu exclaimed: "Not bad." Wine. It's better than a wine that a friend of mine spent tens of thousands of years collecting and then storing for seven million years. ”

"It's not easy to come from afar, and it's good to wash off the dust with a glass of light wine." Said the Defender.

Xiao Yu stood up. Slowly pacing in this small living room, looking at the decorations here, after a while, Xiao Yu opened his mouth and wanted to ask a question.

Unexpectedly, before Xiao Yu could ask this question, the defender replied in advance: "This is not the battlefield of our final battle. ”

Xiao Yu was stunned. Another question popped up in his mind, and then, before he could say it, the defender replied, "Nowhere will be the battlefield of our final battle." ”

didn't wait for Xiao Yu to speak. The defender replied, "No why." In the end, there was no need for Zài to exist in the First World War. Between you and me, there is no need for a war to declare who wins and who loses. Because the results have already been revealed. ”

The defender said, "Well, I'll let you speak. ”

It's a very bad feeling. The defender seemed to be able to detect any thought in Xiao Yu's mind.

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment and said, "Since there is no final battle...... So. It's up to you to make it up to me. Or am I going to make you up? Between you and me, who will be eligible to get the answer to the final question? ”

The defender laughed, "I said, the answer has been revealed. I don't need you to make it up to me, and you don't need me to make it up to you. Because, before you know it, you have completed me, and at this moment, I am already qualified to obtain the final answer to the question. And unless I allow it, you. You will never be eligible for the final answer to your question. ”

"You want to attack me, in your head. Three hundred and four thousand six hundred and seventy-two thoughts flashed through this moment, and you were calculating how to attack me at this moment and how I might react. But please believe me, I have no ill will towards you, and your attacks on me will not be of any use. So, be quiet, please be quiet. Said the defender.

Xiao Yu's clenched fist was released. Xiao Yu's eyes were full of doubts and incomprehension.

"When did I make you up?" Xiao Yu asked.

"From the moment you and Chen Mo appeared in this palace." The Defender replied.

"Why?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Because...... Haven't you found out? I am you, you are me. The defender sighed, "I don't know if you've ever heard a sentence that the most difficult person in this world to understand is not your mortal enemy, nor your best friend, but yourself." ”

The defender stood up, looked at Xiao Yu fixedly, and said, "I possessed infinite computing power a long time ago, I occupied the source of order, I mastered the rules, but I found that I have never been able to fully know the one in this universe. Note that when I say qiē, I include not only the past, present, but also the future of the universe. I want any future changes in this universe to be under my control, and I want not only to be omniscient, but also to be omnipotent. ”

"So my inference is not wrong, you are the Laplace demon." Xiao Yu said.

"No, I'm not a Laplace yet, at least, until I have the answer to the ultimate question, I'm only an incomplete Laplace. Continuing with the topic just now, I know the position and velocity and direction of any microscopic particle in the universe at this moment, and I know all the physical rules in this universe, and I know almost a qiē. According to common sense, knowing this, we can also know any state of the universe at any point in time in the future. But I found that I couldn't. Do you know why? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Yu to answer, the defender continued to say to himself: "Because...... In this world, the most difficult person to understand is yourself. ”

The Defender sighed and said, "Intelligent beings are also a combination of microscopic particles, and any of their thoughts, any thoughts, can be known to me, but I do not know myself well enough. That's why I'm the biggest variable in the universe. According to chaos theory, any initial small variable can produce enough changes over a long enough period of time to affect the entire universe. It is precisely because I don't know what I'm going to do in a moment's time, so even if I grasp one of the things in this universe, I can't know the future of this universe. ”

"So there's a completion plan." The defender said, "I created another me, that is, you, and I created the galaxy." The solar system was created, the earth was created, and life multiplied on the earth. Then let you and Chen Mo appear on the earth at the right time, and then I detonated the earth to force you to step into the universe...... The purpose of this qiē is to observe what kind of judgment and choice another self will make when encountering various situations, so as to help me understand myself more fully and master myself. So I will not interfere in any way with any of your actions. And because the completion plan is destined to be blocked. I can't come forward, so the spokesperson Chen Mo will be born by your side. I am using the spokesperson Chen Mo to protect your safe growth. ”

"That's what the completion plan is all about." The defender spread his hands and said, "So." By the time you finally choose to come to the gates of this palace, the completion plan has been successfully completed, oh, so to speak. Even if you choose not to come here in the end. The completion plan will still be successful. Because this is your last choice, I don't care which option you choose, I just want to know, which one you will choose in the end. As long as there is a choice, I will understand that the completion plan will be successful. So there won't be a final battle, so there's no question of whether you're going to make it up to me or I'm going to make up for you. ”

"It turns out that not only Xiao Yu is a chess piece. It turned out that I, the rebel. The Emperor of Darkness, the Mechanical Civilization Group, and so on are all pawns, all of them are part of your completion plan, you have calculated everyone, and all of them are in your hands......" Chen Mo stood up abruptly and said in a gloomy tone.

Xiao Yu was silent. Xiao Yu remembered what the last survivor of the rebel camp had said to him before he died.

"Xiao Yu, we are waiting for you in hell."

Xiao Yu remembered what the rotating chairman of the rebel camp had said to him.

"No matter how strong you are, you can't be a defender. Your existence is the biggest mistake in this universe, you should die, and only when you die can the completion plan be destroyed. ”

"We don't know exactly what the completion plan is, but we do know that once the Guardian's completion plan is successfully executed, all intelligent beings in the universe will be worse off than dead. Every thought, every thought we have will be grasped by the defenders, and every one of us will become marionettes. ”

The Defender will be omniscient and omnipotent. And the Guardian is omniscient and omnipotent, and all intelligent beings in the universe will become marionettes. It's a very simple cause-and-effect relationship.

Xiao Yu said: "So now you, have you mastered the future of this universe?" Now you not only know the one qiē in this universe, but you also know yourself thoroughly. There is no longer an unknown existence in this universe for you. You can already understand my every thought and thought, and now I am probably just a marionette in your hands. ”

"Sorry, not yet." "I have thoroughly understood myself and the universe, but I still do not have the future of the universe. That won't be until I get the answer to the ultimate question. But it's going to be fast, Xiao Yu, you see. ”

The defender stretched out his hand and pointed to the roof of the small parlor, the chandelier that glowed with a faint white light. Without any movement, the chandelier went out, and a black particle floated down from it and fell into the defender's hands.

This black particle seems infinitely small, but it seems infinitely heavy. There is constantly an inexplicable sense of humor conveyed from it.

"This is the singularity of the source of order." "Once you have a thorough understanding of the universe and yourself, you can get answers to your ultimate questions through it." And with the answer to the ultimate question, you can fully grasp this universe and know the past, present, and future of the universe. Now, it's time. ”

Xiao Yu's body was trembling slightly. Xiao Yu doesn't want his every thought and every thought to be known and controlled, Xiao Yu doesn't want to be a marionette and continue to exist according to the arranged fate. Xiao Yu didn't want to, no intelligent creature in this universe would want this. But Xiao Yu still didn't move. Because Xiao Yu can't move at this moment. Because the defenders don't know what means to pass guò, maybe it's their understanding of Xiao Yu, or their understanding of this universe, and the defenders have completely imprisoned Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was completely desperate in his heart. Xiao Yu finally knew why the rebel camp would say that no matter how far he grows, he will not be the opponent of the defenders. Because the apologists are another self, their own growth process. It is the whole process of the defender's supplement. Defenders can only be stronger than themselves, know more, and master more. You don't have any chance of winning.

The source of order is the center of the three-dimensional universe. And the singularity. It is the center of the source of order. Now, the singularity is in the hands of the defenders. The defender smiled faintly and looked at Xiao Yu lightly. Between the apologists' palms and the singularity, there seems to be some esoteric information circulating.

But the smile on the defender's face was fading rapidly, and finally calmed down completely. The defender removed his palm, and the black singularity remained suspended in the space. The defender walked over to the couch and sat down. He picked up the glass and poured the wine, and then drank it all, still with no expression on his face.

"You have completely mastered the qiē in this universe. You know a qiē information about the past, present, and future of this universe, at any time period. Even if it's a trillion years from now, you know where a microscopic particle is. You already know the answer to the ultimate question, where this universe comes from, why it exists, the meaning of this universe, the meaning of life, you know it all, right? Xiao Yu asked.

"Yes, I know it all." The defender nodded: "From this moment on, in this universe. I know everything. Because I know everything, I can do anything. ”

"So. Can you tell me the answer to my ultimate question? Xiao Yu trembled and said: "It's impossible for me to compete with you, even if I know the answer to the ultimate question, I won't be your opponent, so can you sue me for ......?"

At this moment, Xiao Yu is like an addict with a drug addiction. To the point where Xiao Yu is here, although he can't be said to know everything, what he doesn't know is limited after all, and it's all some trivial things. None of the qiē in the universe can no longer arouse Xiao Yu's interest, but there is only one thing that Xiao Yu wants to know at any cost.

That's ...... The answer to the ultimate question. Xiao Yu has an infinite desire to know where this universe comes from, where the rules come from, and an infinite desire to know the meaning of this universe......

"Yes." The defender seemed to be indifferent and said, "Where is the singularity of the source of order, with your knowledge and strength at the moment, plus my permission, you can also know the answer to the ultimate question through it." Go ahead, I won't stop you. ”

This is the biggest temptation for Xiao Yu. Millions of years of pursuit, since Xiao Yu began to know the first word, came into contact with the first formula, began to make the first calculation, and set his eyes on the infinite universe for the first time, Xiao Yu has been looking forward to this day. Xiao Yu waited for this day almost until he went crazy. And now, this final opportunity is in front of Xiao Yu, as long as Xiao Yu stretches out his hand and puts his hand on the singularity of this source of order, Xiao Yu will know a qiē.

The defender's gaze was calm, without a single fluctuation.

Xiao Yu's body shook for a moment, and after a while, he arrived next to the singularity. Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and touched the singularity without the slightest hesitation. However, just after Xiao Yu's palm was only less than a centimeter away from the singularity, Xiao Yu's palm stopped. Xiao Yu's gaze is very complicated, and there are many things in it, including desires, contradictions, and struggles.

Xiao Yu slowly withdrew his hand and left the singularity.

"Sure enough." The Defender sighed, "Is it true that the future cannot be changed?" Even the temptation to grasp the ultimate answer to the question cannot shatter the predestined future...... Uninteresting, really boring. ”

The defender picked up the wine bottle, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one of them to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu hesitated to catch it. The defender stretched out his wine glass, touched Xiao Yu's wine glass, and then drank it all.

"This glass of wine is a farewell." The defender said, "This universe will be yours from now on." ”

As he spoke, the defender's body began to fade.

"No one in this universe can kill me or hurt me, except myself." "That's right, I'm killing myself. I will disappear from this universe completely, leaving no trace behind. Xiao Yu, goodbye. ”

"The Singularity of the Source of Order is here, and if you want to know the answer to the ultimate question, you can always put your hand on it. As long as you come into contact with the singularity, you will know the qiē in this universe, you will know the past, present, and future of this universe, you will know why the universe exists, you will know where the rules come from, and you will know the meaning of the universe. Know a lot...... You will take my place, and all the intelligent beings in this universe will be your marionettes. ”

"Xiao Yu, goodbye. No. We'll never see each other again. After saying this, the body of the defender vanished, and there was no sign of any existence.

"Xiao Yu......" Chen Mo stood up and looked at Xiao Yu with some concern. Xiao Yu seemed to be a little tired and waved his hand and said, "Let me be quiet for a while." ”

Xiao Yu also sat on the sofa, picked up his wine glass, and poured a full glass of wine. But I never drank it. Xiao Yu maintained this posture and thought about it for an unknown amount of time. Chen Mo has been sitting opposite Xiao Yu, looking at Xiao Yu with eyes full of admiration.

Hundreds of millions of years seem to have passed. It seemed like only a split second had passed. Time, there is no meaning here. Xiao Yu finally picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then stood up. took Chen Mo's hand.

"Let's go. Let's go home. Xiao Yu said.

"Okay." Chen Mo didn't hesitate at all and followed Xiao Yu to stand up. Before leaving, Chen Mo asked, "Is this...... Singularity, is that all? ”

"So be it." Xiao Yu said.

"I support any decision you make." Chen Mo said, "But I'm curious...... Why did the defenders choose to commit suicide after knowing the answer to the ultimate question and mastering the first thing in this universe, and why did you voluntarily give up this opportunity that you had been pursuing for thousands of years? ”

"I'll tell you a story." Xiao Yu said, "In the past. There was one man, and he hated another person in the extreme. He dreamed of killing his enemies. But his enemies are strong, and he can't do that. So, he began to run his own power, he started from the bottom of the society, and gradually had a huge wealth, a beautiful wife and lovely children, of course, in which, he paid hardships that ordinary people could not imagine. Eventually, his power was large enough that he finally brought his enemies to their knees and stabbed his own enemies. ”

"But after slaying his own enemy, he committed suicide." Xiao Yu said, "Do you know why? ”

Chen Mo shook his head.

Xiao Yu sighed and said, "Because ...... The goal of killing the enemy has become his spiritual pillar and the meaning of his life. His life exists to achieve this goal. He could not see the past of his life, such as a privileged life, a huge amount of wealth, a beautiful wife and lovely children. When he accomplished his ultimate goal, his life was meaningless. So he chose to die. ”

"You know what? All intelligent beings are addicts, and the unknown is the only deadly poison that can temporarily relieve addiction. In this process of constant pursuit of the unknown, the addicts' addictions are constantly satisfied, and technology begins to make continuous progress. However, the unknown in this universe is limited......" Xiao Yu continued to sigh and said: "To the point where I and the Guardian, there is basically nothing unknown in the universe, and the only unknown is the ultimate problem...... But what about when you know the answer to the ultimate question? What else can we pursue the unknown? ”

"The apologists know the answer to any question, the apologists know what they will be doing in even a trillion years, and they know the position and velocity of any microscopic particle in the universe in even a trillion years. For the apologists, tomorrow is just a repetition of today, because the apologists know what tomorrow will be. In other words, when the apologists know the answer to the ultimate question, after knowing the qiē, the apologists have been living according to the written script. The life of the defender will be devoid of any passion and expectation, and the defender will not have any goals worth fighting for. So...... What is the meaning of the life of the defender? What else could he do but die? ”

"Why do you need to explore all the unknowns in this universe?" Xiao Yu said, "It may be better to retain a little bit of the unknown, a little bit of mystery and expectation." ”

"But......" Chen Mo said hesitantly, "can you resist the temptation of the ultimate question?" Don't you want to know the answers to questions such as why this universe exists and where the rules come from? ”

"I want to know, I want to know, even to the point of paying with my life. But I also know that when I know the ultimate unknown, I will live more painfully than I will die. I don't want to give up on you and what I have now. I wouldn't be the one who killed the enemy and then killed himself, if I were him. I'd rather give up my hatred and concentrate on enjoying the great wealth I now have, my beautiful wife, and my lovely children. Xiao Yu looked at Chen Mo affectionately. continued: "I don't want to give up on you, I have to give up the answer to the ultimate question. ”

"I support you in any decision you make." Chen Mo snuggled into Xiao Yu's arms, his eyes full of tenderness that could not be dissolved.

"Although I gave up the opportunity to know the answer to the ultimate question, there is one question that I have always wondered......" Xiao Yu said, "Why do you always love me?" You know, we've only been together for a few years on Earth. At a time when you became an advocate and I was still torn between life and death. Why haven't you given up on the relationship? ”

"Not because it's the Guardian's arrangement." Xiao Yu said, "I know this, absolutely not. ”

Chen Mo sneered. said: "Like you said, isn't it good to keep a little bit of the unknown and mystery? Why do you need to know it all? ”

"I've given up the chance to know the answer to the ultimate question, can't I even know the question?" Xiao Yu said.

"Alright, alright." Chen Mo gently hugged Xiao Yu, and both of them remained silent. Didn't speak. After half a ring. A few words floated out of Chen Mo's mouth: "Because I'm a woman." ”

………………

Xiao Yu and Chen Mo finally walked out of the source of order and came to the outer cosmic starry sky. Xiao Yu took Chen Mo's hand and disappeared from here, and the next moment he came to an ordinary medium river system.

"This is the Milky Way." Xiao Yu said, "Let's start over." ”

Chen Mo nodded, and Xiao Yu waved his hand. Thus, under the domination of an esoteric force, the entire galaxy and even the Andromeda Galaxy are formed. The Triangulum Galaxy, the Greater Magellanic Galaxy, and many more satellite galaxies began to go through a frenzied particle recombination and time reversal. This magical scene was really unfolding in front of Xiao Yu's eyes. Until the familiar sun reappeared in Xiao Yu's eyes, until the earth that had already exploded reappeared in an orbit about 1.5 billion kilometers away from the sun.

On the geosynchronous orbit of the earth, a large number of satellites of various purposes reappeared, and among these many spacecraft, Xiao Yu saw a very familiar figure.

At the beginning, Xiao Yu rode it to escape from the earth that was about to explode. And at the moment it has not yet been built.

"There's no need for it to save zài." Xiao Yu said. So, the unassembled spaceship disappeared into thin air.

Xiao Yu took Chen Mo's hand and returned to the ground again. The scenery above the ground made Xiao Yu feel very familiar. Because this qiē was originally restored by Xiao Yu in the form of particle reorganization and time reversal according to the pictures he had seen.

Xiao Yu raised his head and saw a tall building in front of him, and there was a plaque hanging on it, on which were written several big characters of the Xiao Institute of Physics.

It's morning, the sun is rising, it's neither hot nor cold, it's a good time for spring. Xiao Yu smiled slightly, took Chen Mo's hand and walked into the research institute.

"Director Xiao, it's early." A young girl hurried in, seemingly anxious because she was going to be late for work. But even if she was in a hurry, when she saw Xiao Yu, she didn't forget to say hello. After saying this, she hurried over without waiting for Xiao Yu to reply. But suddenly, she stopped, and then turned around slowly like a machine, looking at Xiao Yu with incredible eyes, and Chen Mo who was holding hands with Xiao Yu.

Chen Mo also smiled slightly and said, "Xiaofei, good morning." ”

"Morning ...... Good. Xiaofei began to stutter a little when she spoke.

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Xiaofei, go and inform all the staff, put down their work, and go to the big conference room on the second floor for a meeting, I want to tell you a big news." ”

"Good...... Good. Xiao Fei said, turned around and walked away, at first it was very smooth, but when he turned the corridor, Xiao Yu heard a chaotic footsteps, mixed with Xiao Fei's unique girlish voice: "Come and see, come and see, everyone come and see, Director Xiao of the wood is in love!" Director Xiao and Chen Mo held hands! Hand in hand! ”

Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "Xiaofei is still so lively. ”

"yes, it's been a long time." Chen Mo said.

The two continued walking. I walked to the large conference hall on the second floor. All the employees had already arrived here in advance, and they were waiting for something here, and there were bursts of exclamations from inside: "Xiaofei, are you telling the truth?" Is Big Wood really in love? ”

"Who is it? Who is it? What the? Chen Mo? Alas. Unfortunately, I don't have a chance. ”

"Woo, it turned out to be Chen Mo, no, I'm going to have a fair duel with Director Xiao."

"Come on, you, just your size, where is Director Xiao's opponent. Why don't you consider me? What do you think of me? ”

Xiao Yu coughed lightly. Pushed the door and walked in. The noisy conference hall fell silent.

"Today, I would like to announce two pieces of news to you." Xiao Yu looked around and said, "The first message is...... I'm going to marry Chen Mo. The wedding date is set for three days later. All of you here have listened to me, no one is missing, and they all have to come to help me with my wedding, who dares to be absent. At the end of the year, all bonuses will be deducted. One of the people who came to help counted as one. The bonus at the end of the year will be paid at a rate of five times. The second piece of news is that from now on, all employees of our institute will have a paid vacation for one month, and after attending my wedding with Chen Mo, everyone should also relax and relax, right? ”

"Yay! That's great! Wood, ah no, Director Xiao. I love you! ”

Bursts of cheers rang out in the conference room.

"Alright, disband!" Xiao Yu announced the adjournment of the meeting. Everyone rushed out.

Xiao Yu also returned to his office. Looking at the familiar outfit, Xiao Yu felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Xiao Yu turned on the computer, then opened the homepage of his research institute, and posted a message.

"I'm sorry, because of a malfunction in our research equipment, I mistakenly predicted that the Earth would explode. Now that the alert has been lifted, I apologize for the inconvenience caused. ”

As soon as this information was posted, there was a comment in an instant. Xiao Yu clicked on it and saw a message.

"Is your institute a pig farm? Are all the instruments in your institute operated by a herd of pigs? ”

This review is in English and the source address is Europe.

Xiao Yu smiled faintly, ignored this information, and said to himself: "I scolded you like this at the beginning, and now you are scolding me like this...... Well, it's even, and no one owes anyone anything. ”

Xiao Yu turned off the computer. At this time, Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly saw a black stone, which was quietly placed on his desk. Xiao Yu picked up the black stone and played with it quietly.

After a while, Xiao Yu put the stone on the table again, and said to himself, "It seems appropriate to use it as a paperweight." ”

Xiao Yu stood up, pushed open the window, and the warm spring breeze blew in.

The sky was cloudless, and it was a good weather for warm spring.
