Chapter 1: Awakening
"I dreamed, my death. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The young man said that his dark circles were a little heavy and that he looked like he hadn't slept well in a while. Although he is still very young, it is clear that his body is not as good as some old people.
When he first entered the door, his movements and expressions as he sat on the sofa changed, and it was obvious that his lower back would hurt along with his movements. Is it sciatica? Young people today are not as young as they used to be, and at least six out of 10 young people do this.
But the young man in front of him seems to be more than just a sciatic pain.
Judging from his information, he had extreme thoughts because he dreamed about his death. After that, his mother found out that he was trying to kill himself, jumping off a building, cutting his wrists, running a red light, and of course, he didn't die at all.
But these experiences made him more convinced of the dream of his own death. He believed that he would not die until then, and based on his dream state, he guessed that he would not be in trouble.
Therefore, in the recent sensational terrorist attack, he killed two terrorists in the face of a hail of bullets.
Professionals analyze that he must have received some kind of training, which allows him to defeat fearsome opponents even if he is not physically fit. But his past is clear at a glance, he is just an ordinary person living in this city, and his experience is not even as rich as the life of most ordinary people.
He's an otaku, a hobby for work, and an author.
There is not much information, but it can be summed up in one sentence, a young man suffering from schizophrenia.
"Wake up, that's a good name, an interesting name. Dr. Wen smiled and said that he was trying to open up the conversation, and anyone who came to treat them, first of all, had to be able to talk.
It seemed that the young man liked his name too, and he smiled. "This name seems to represent my fate, and I will wake up one day and become the real me. ā
Dr. Wen put the information aside, looked into his awakened eyes and asked, "So, who are you?"
Su Xing smiled lightly, this smile was very mysterious, and that look seemed to see through everything. He didn't answer the question directly, but leaned back, leaned back in his chair and asked Dr. Wen, "If this question were asked to you, what would it be?"
Dr. Wen replied firmly, "I am who I am." ā
"Then how do you prove that you are you?" Su Xing's eyes were sharp, with a sense of oppression.
Dr. Wen was quick to think and quickly pulled out his wallet and took out his ID card. But Su Xing immediately continued to ask, "Except for these documents given to you by others, what can prove yourself?"
"Fingerprints, DNA, my family and friends, I can be me. Suddenly, Dr. Wen was a little blinded, as if he had been inadvertently led into the logical trap of awakening, and the content of the conversation began to give him a strange feeling.
"If I clone you, have the same fingerprints, DNA, and memories as you, and make you stand in front of your friends and family in your clones, then, is he you?"
Dr. Wen frowned, remained calm and said, "Of course it's not me. ā
"So how do you prove it?"
ā......ā
Seeing that Dr. Wen stopped talking, Su Xing continued: "I read a novel before, and I read the last chapter of that novel, and I read it with a lot of feelings. There is also a reference to an experiment in a philosophy book set in the future, when humans have mastered the technology of spatial transmission, and people can travel from one city to another in an instant, and the distance that would have taken a few hours or even days can be crossed in a single moment. ā
"To put it simply, there is a sending room at the starting point and a receiving room at the end point. If you want to go to the end point through this method, then you go into the sending room, and there will be something in it that scans your whole body, every cell of yours, every atom in your body, and then a copy of your atom will be sent to the receiving room of the end point. ā
"After that, the sending chamber will fire a laser beam to destroy your original body, while the atoms you have copied are reassembled in the receiving chamber. ā
"You have a lot of imagination, and if such technology comes along, it will be much easier in the future," says Dr. Wen. Having said that, listening to Awakening's description of that kind of technology makes people feel a little scary.
Su Xing smiled and emphasized: "That's not my imagination, someone has already come up with it and published a book, I'm just borrowing it here." ā
Then he continued the topic: "Then you can imagine that one day when you go on a business trip and walk into the sending room, after the scan is completed, your atoms reorganize you at the end of the line, but the original you are not destroyed. The staff tells you that there is a malfunction in the sending room, but you have successfully crossed the terminal and you have already gone to work. ā
The corners of Su Xing's mouth turned up slightly, "So, what would you think at this time?"
Dr. Wen was silent, he already understood what it meant to wake up.
And Wake continued: "And at this time, the staff will also tell you that in order to complete the whole process, you must be destroyed. At this point, what do you think? Do you cooperate with them to destroy themselves? Or do you tell them that you didn't cross over and that the other one you are not? If so, what do you think about that copy of you? What do you think about thinking about what you've already experienced?"
Dr. Wen felt that he was caught in a waking routine, and he tried to skip the topic and asked, "Does this have anything to do with your dreams about your death and your behavior?"
"Probably not. Wake looked at the ceiling, smiled, and sighed again.
He didn't say anything, but Dr. Wen had already felt it, and he asked uncertainly, "Are you saying that your dream tells you that another you will appear in the future and destroy your current you?"
Su Xing looked into Dr. Wen's eyes, smiled and said, "No, I won't let that happen." ā
"I'm not going to be anyone, I'm awakening, I'm not going to be anyone else. ā
......
After the meeting with Awakening, Dr. Wen sat in his chair, thinking back to every word he had said and the experiment he had said. The corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Symptoms of schizophrenia?"
He judged this, but remembered the strange feeling of the conversation.
Thinking of the smile he woke up to, and the look in his eyes, Dr. Wen not only shuddered.
For some reason, the young man called Wake Up had a terrifying feeling in him. Is it because he's killed someone, so he feels that way?
Dr. Wen thought uncertainly. (To be continued.) )
