"You mean, wait, my mind is a little messy." Xu Ruohan lowered his head and rubbed his hands on his face, and only looked up at me again after a few seconds, "If I understand correctly, first of all, this is the world is fake, the world created according to your memory, so you are real, and I am also fake?" ”

I nodded silently, I didn't know what else I could say other than nodding.

"Secondly, in this fake world, time stops on the same day, that is, today, July 21, 2005, yesterday is also today, and tomorrow is also today, but we dummies will not be aware of it?"

I was silent for a while, and then nodded again, lowering my head and not daring to see what Xu Ruohan's reaction was, and waiting for Xu Ruohan to say something to me worriedly. But I waited for a while, but she didn't speak, until I couldn't help but look up and see the expression on her face, I was slightly stunned.

There wasn't the shock, anger, or sadness on her face that I had expected, and I saw only confusion on her face.

What is she confused about?

"What are you thinking?" I couldn't help but ask.

Hearing my voice, Xu Ruohan looked at me and shook his head slightly, "No, I just feel a little novel." I'm sure what you're saying is true, but to be honest, no matter how I feel, I can't tell that I'm false. I've just tried to think back to the last eighteen years of my life, and I feel like I've experienced the real thing every day, and honestly I can't understand what you're saying, that I'm false. ”

"Because you are in my memory, everything in this world, including you, is created according to my memory of you." I pursed my lips, "It's 2012, and it's a world that's stuck on July 21, 2005. ”

Xu Ruohan tilted his head and frowned slightly, "But the point you said is not valid."

"Not true?" I was stunned, "What doesn't hold it?" ”

"If I really had been created from your memory, why are there things in my memory that you shouldn't know?" Xu Ruohan frowned and said, "I can recall a lot of things when I was a child, we didn't know each other at that time, and you can't know those things." If I created from your memory, why would I remember this? ”

Xu Ruohan asked me stunned, and after thinking about it according to her words, I realized that if I thought about it according to my previous understanding, there was indeed something wrong.

"I'm not sure," I shook my head slightly, frowning in thought, "Maybe those memories of yours are made up and false. Or maybe the world I created was actually just a screenshot of the day of July 21, 2005 that I experienced, and then completely replicated this day and became the world it is now? ”

With the new direction of speculation, my thinking became clearer: "Yes, the world should be exactly copied on July 21, 2005!" That makes sense! After all, I can't remember everything, but there's nothing in this world that struck me wrong, and if it had been created, it wouldn't have been as invulnerable as it is now. So, this must be an exact replica of the world of that day! ”

I looked at Xu Ruohan excitedly, although this discovery has no practical significance for me now, but it at least shows one point - finding someone to communicate with is the right choice.

Neither Lu Haisheng nor I had thought about how this world was created before, but communicating with Xu Ruohan made me think about this. And in addition to that, I'm sure I'll be able to make more discoveries in this conversation.

"But if that's the case, it means that I, and the world, are not false."

I looked at Xu Ruohan and was stunned, not understanding what she meant. Probably because the confusion on my face was too obvious, she didn't wait for me to ask again before explaining, "Let's put it this way, do you think clones can be considered dummies?" Clones also have life, but they are exactly the same as the person who was cloned, but they cannot be said to be dummies. ”

I seemed to understand what Xu Ruohan meant, and blinked in confirmation.

"Are you saying that even though the world and you are copies or cloned products, they are also real?"

"Yes, that's what I meant." Xu Ruohan nodded, "Assuming that I was copied on July 21, 2005, then in the eighteen years before this day, I was the only one, and the experience of these eighteen years is not only the experience of being copied, but also the experience of this copy of me, which is shared by both me." In the same way, if the current self is a person who only exists on July 21st, then that is to say, there are two mes on July 21st, and only one on July 22nd. In other words, the time of July 22 and beyond is still shared by the two mes. So it can be concluded that I, including the whole world, am not as false as you say. ”

"If there's anything fake here, I'm afraid it's you." Xu Ruohan shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, "After all, I am Xu Ruohan on July 21, 2005, and you are Mo Li in 2012, for the world we live in now, there is actually only one that is fake, and that is you." ”

I opened my mouth to refute hers, but in the end I couldn't come up with any reason to refute it. Thinking about it carefully, every word Xu Ruohan said seems to make sense, and I am indeed different from others in this world. It is also because of this that Lu Haisheng said that since there is a time reset problem in this world, then the cause of the problem must be on me, and it is also because of this that he will find out

"You're right, it's actually me." I whispered, thinking with my eyes slightly down.

Xu Ruohan is my best friend, but our personalities are actually very different, and we think about problems in many different ways.

I just learned about the Endless Room from Lu Haisheng, and after knowing that the world I am in now and the people around me are fake, my first reaction is to question myself - this world is all fake, why am I real? My life, my experiences, my self, these are also fake! I'm simply a person who doesn't exist!

I doubted myself and denied myself like this, and that's why I couldn't accept the Endless Room for a while. After all, accepting the Endless Room and admitting that the world is fake is just as much a denial of my own existence for me.

But Xu Ruohan, she and I are completely different.

She learned the same thing as me, but she didn't feel the same confusion as I did. She didn't doubt herself at all, but first affirmed her own existence, and then doubted what kind of existence this world was.

I doubted myself and denied myself, and she admitted that she affirmed herself.

Therefore, I can't accept the truth of this world, but she can be calm.

Maybe she could tell me the answer to that.

"But what you just told me isn't something you're bothering about, is it?"

Xu Ruohan's voice made me come back to my senses, and I subconsciously looked up at her, I didn't understand the meaning of her words.

Xu Ruohan raised his hand and scratched his head, as if he was thinking, and said after a few seconds, "When you said that, it was very calm, not like you were troubled." I thought you didn't care if the world was fake. But then I felt that it was not that you didn't care, but that you didn't care. ”

I didn't expect Xu Ruohan to feel so carefully, after all, I never thought that someone like her would be so careful. But maybe this attentiveness will only appear in me, but it makes this attentiveness even more precious.

"So, what are you really worried about?"

"I'm really worried" I remembered Lu Haisheng's words, and couldn't help but be silent again, and after a while, I took a deep breath and told Xu Ruohan the real reason, "What I'm really worried about is returning to my original world, which is the way of 2012." ”
