Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Conversation Between the Wall-Facers

Living on the wall for a long time made Li Yang feel tormented, he couldn't talk to others about a lot of things, and even if he said the simplest words to the security guards around him, he would be considered that what Li Yang said was not the truth, and this kind of life was about to make Li Yang collapse, so he decided to talk to Luo Ji to see which one of the people who was enjoying the happiness of the wall.

When Li Yang arrived, it was afternoon, and he saw a heavenly scene: the softest sunshine of the day sprinkled on the snow-capped mountains, lakes and forests, and on the lawn by the lake, Luo Ji's family was enjoying this earthly afternoon.

The first thing Li Yang noticed was the beautiful mother, that's right, the dream goddess Zhuang Yan of Luo Ji, who was found by the PDC, she was still a girl, but like the sister of the one-year-old child. When he is far away, he can't see clearly, but as he gets closer, his attention shifts to the child. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li Yang, as a single dog, really didn't believe that there was such a cute little life in the world.

The child is like a beautiful stem cell, the germ of all beauty. The mother and child were drawing on a large blank piece of paper, while Luo Ji stood from afar and watched intently, just as in the Louvre, looking at the girl he loved from afar, who has now become a mother. Getting closer, Li Yang could even see boundless happiness in his eyes, and that happiness was like the light of the sunset that permeated the snow-capped mountains and lakes in the Garden of Eden......

Having just come from the grim outside world, everything in front of him gave Li Yang a sense of unreality. Whether it is Li Yang before rebirth or Li Yang now, they are single dogs, Li Yang, who has not experienced the taste of love, is now very envious of Luo Ji at this time.

It wasn't until Li Yang approached that Luo Ji, who had been looking at his wife and children intoxicated, noticed Li Yang's arrival.

Due to the wall-facing plan, their wall-facing people have no intersection except for the wall-facing plan hearing, and because Luo Ji has not participated in the wall-facing plan hearing since he became a wall-facing person, Li Yang and Luo Ji have not met since they were elected wall-facers.

Li Yang communicated with Luo Ji on the phone before he came, so Luo Ji was not surprised by Li Yang's arrival.

"Long time no see, Mr. Luo!" Li Yang looked at Luo Ji with a happy face and said.

"yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"That's your family, Mr. Luo's life is quite happy, which is very enviable." Li Yang looked at the direction where Zhuang Yan and Luo Ji's children were walking and said, Luo Ji said with a smile on his face, "It's okay, the main thing here is that no one bother." ”

"I'm sorry to bother you, Mrs. Zhuang." Li Yang bowed slightly to Zhuang Yan, who was pulling the child over, and said.

"Welcome, Mr. Li Yang, there are basically no guests here, I'm glad you can be a guest." Zhuang Yan's voice was very good, and he spoke to Li Yang with honorifics, and since he became the one on the wall, Li Yang has been accustomed to being called by honorifics.

Looking at Luo Ji's child, Li Yang wanted to hug the child, but he was afraid of startling the child, so he only said: "I can see Mr. Luo's happy family and the beautiful Mrs. Zhuang, I am already worth the trip." ”

"Let's talk, I'll prepare afternoon tea for you." Zhuang Yan said to the two men with a smile.

"No, no, no, don't bother, I'll just talk to Teacher Luo for a while, I won't stay for a long time."

Zhuang Yan still insisted on preparing afternoon tea for Li Yang, and then left with the child.

Luo Ji motioned for Li Yang to sit down on a white chair on the lawn, and as soon as Li Yang sat down, his whole body was paralyzed as if he had lost his tendons, as if a long-distance traveler had finally reached his goal.

"Teacher Luo, you don't seem to know anything about the outside world in the past few years." Li Yang said.

"Yes." Luo Ji was still standing, and waved his finger around, "That's all I have." ”

"I envy you, Mr. Luo, you taught me about sociology at the beginning, and now it seems that you are going to teach me a lot."

"No matter how you say this, you are already very good now, at least better than me, and I have heard your plan." Luo Ji asked with a puzzled smile.

"In fact, in the final analysis, due to the existence of Zhizi, the basic technology of our Blue Star has still not developed, and the two plans I proposed only have a certain development of the detection system, and the space elevator is still only a paper project in the short term. And yours is living like this, at least without wasting resources, and as far as I know, the plans of the other wall-facing people are likewise not progressing. ”

"Li Yang, let me tell you the truth, I really didn't have an idea, and I was suddenly chosen. So, I think you can understand me, having my family here, I'm very content now. ”

"No, Mr. Luo, there must be a reason why you can be chosen as the wall-facing person, you don't have to be presumptuous." Looking at Luo Ji, who had already entered middle age, thinking of his future, Li Yang wanted to persuade him even more.

"Teacher Luo, you should think about it, really, I think you are the one with the greatest possibility of reversing the human encounter among the five of us."

Luo Ji looked at himself, a former student and now a wall-facing person, and then thought of his deliberate evasion, and couldn't help but say: "I've been thinking, but I don't know what to think, I have no direction, I ......"

……

Just when the two were talking, there was another person they were familiar with not far away, that was Taylor, the wall-facing person, Li Yang was very surprised to see his arrival, seeing Li Yang's surprised expression, Luo Ji opened his mouth to explain, "Taylor contacted me yesterday and said that he wanted to talk to me, but he just forgot to tell you." ”

"Oh, that's it, I said, I just haven't talked to him alone, I just happened to talk together."

When Taylor approached and saw Li Yang a little surprised, Luo Ji explained again, and then after Taylor sat down, the three chatted together.

"Dr. Luo, Mr. Li, do you know what has happened recently?"

"What's recent? It's not a big deal lately, I've been paying attention to the problem of Blue Star, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Li Yang looked at Taylor, who had a bad face, and said.

"yes, what's the matter? I see that you have a bad face and are you tired? Oh, shall we have something to drink? Luo Ji said.

"Whatever......" Taylor looked at Jin Bo in confusion as the afternoon sun reflected on the lake, "Four days ago, my wall-facing person appeared. ”

Luo Ji's hand pouring the wine stopped, Li Yang also turned his head to look at Taylor's face in surprise, Luo Ji was silent for a moment and said, "So fast? ”

"It's unexpected, I didn't expect it to be so soon." Li Yang was indeed very surprised, it was only eight years after the crisis era, and Taylor had already been broken.

After that, Taylor told Luo Ji and Li Yang about the whole process of his broken wall at Taylor's house that day.

After listening to Taylor's story, Li Yang and Luo Ji didn't speak for a long time.

The first time Li Yang heard from the mouth of his own experiencer that the person facing the wall was broken, it really shocked Li Yang.

When an ordinary person communicates with their wall-facing person, he always thinks that he is the wall-facing person, and any of his words cannot be trusted, and this implication creates a communication barrier. And when three wall-facing people communicate, this suggestion exists in the consciousness of the three parties at the same time, so that the barrier of communication is equal to the square of the former. In fact, in this kind of exchange, not a single word of the three people makes sense, and thus the whole exchange is meaningless, which is why there is no personal interaction between the people in front of them.

"What do you think of the wallbreaker's analysis?" Luo Ji asked, in fact, the question was just to break the silence, and he immediately realized that this kind of question was meaningless.

"He guessed right." Taylor said.

"You can disadmit it." Li Yang said.

"No, I've failed, I can't bear it anymore." Taylor said.

And Luo Ji wanted to stop talking, what did he say? What is there to say? They're all wall-facers.

"It's really my strategy." Taylor went on to say that he clearly has a strong need to confide and doesn't care if the other person believes it, "Of course, it's still very preliminary, and it's technically very difficult, and it's unknown how people in quantum states interact with reality, and how they can achieve fixed-point collapse in real space-time through self-observation." These would require experimental research, but any such experiments done by humans would be murderous and therefore impossible. ”

Luo Ji said: "In the early days of ball lightning research, there were some people who became quantum states, can you manage to get in touch with them? He thought to himself: It's pointless, just think it's language gymnastics.

"Luo Ji is really a good listener." Li Yang listened to the conversation between the two of them, and thought to himself when he noticed Luo Ji's expression.

"Of course I tried, it didn't work, those people haven't been heard from for years. Of course, there are many legends about them, but each one turns out to be untrue in the end, and they seem to have disappeared forever, which may have something to do with what physicists call the divergence of probability clouds. ”

"What's that?"

……

After speaking, Taylor looked at Li Yang and Luo Ji for a moment of silence, and then said: "I have failed, the next thing is up to you, life on the wall is a strange circle, I am trapped, and only the two of you have the possibility of escaping from the strange circle." ”

Taylor looked at the sun that was about to set, looked at the beautiful scenery here in Luo Ji, and said, "It's beautiful, it's like the Garden of Eden recorded in the Bible, can I walk around alone?" ”

"You can do whatever you want here, just relax, and I'll call you to dinner in a moment."

After Taylor walked towards the lake, Luo Ji and Li Yang sat down and fell into heavy thoughts.

In the past five years, Li Yang has been very miserable by the wall, he knows Hesse's law, but he has no reason to say it, he is waiting for Luo Ji to say Hesse, but now this wall-breaking operation is still going on, and there is still no progress in the plans, which makes Li Yang very tormented.

In the past five years, Luo Ji has been immersed in the ocean of happiness, especially the birth of his child, which made him forget everything in the outside world, and his love for his lover and children blended together, making his soul deeply intoxicated. In this secluded and gentle land, he fell deeper and deeper into the illusion that the outside world might really be something akin to a quantum state, and that he would not exist without observing.

Taylor's last words echoed in their ears, is it really possible for the wall-facing to get out of the strange circle? How to break the shackles of this iron-clad logic...... Luo Ji and Li Yang suddenly woke up at the same time, and looked up, the twilight by the lake was vast, and Taylor was nowhere to be seen.

Luo Ji glanced at Li Yang, then jumped up and ran towards the lake, Luo Ji wanted to shout loudly, but he was afraid of alarming Zhuang Yan and the child, so he could only run desperately, seeing Luo Ji running to Taylor's place, he also ran along, in the quiet twilight, he could only hear the pop of their footsteps on the lawn, but in this rhythm, a soft "click" was suddenly inserted.

It was a gunshot from the lake.

That's right, Taylor is gone, he walks quietly, deep in the jungle by a lake.

The body was transported away after being notified by the security personnel to the PDC executives, and Li Yang also left, he had to prepare to face the next round of PDC wall hearings, and after telling Luo Ji that he would have an agreement for the next meeting, he took the plane to leave.

……

Luo Ji came home late at night, when his child was already asleep, and Zhuang Yan asked softly, "Are Mr. Li and Taylor gone?" ”

"Yes, they're gone." Luo Ji said tiredly.

"They seem to be harder than you."

"Yes, Li Yang is fine, as for Taylor, it is because there is an easy road that he doesn't take...... Yan, haven't you been watching TV lately? ”

"Don't look, I'll ......" Zhuang Yan wanted to speak and stopped, Luo Ji knew her thoughts: the outside world is getting worse day by day, and the gap between the outside life and here is getting bigger and bigger, this difference makes her uneasy, "Is it really part of the plan to face the wall when we live like this?" She looked at Luo Ji and asked, still with that innocent look.

"Of course, is there any doubt about that?"

"But if all mankind is not happy, can we be happy?"

"My dear, it is your duty to make yourself happy, and to have children, at a time when all mankind is unhappy. The more happiness you have, the more hope you have of success. ”

Zhuang Yan looked at Luo Ji speechlessly, and now, the expression language she had envisioned five years ago before the Mona Lisa seemed to be partially realized between her and Luo Ji, Luo Ji read more and more the words in his heart from her eyes, and now he read:

How can I trust this?

Luo Ji pondered for a long time and said: "Yan, there is a day when everything ends, the sun and the universe have a day of death, why do only human beings think that they should be immortal?" I tell you, the world is currently in paranoia, foolish enough to fight a hopeless battle.

For the three-body crisis, it is completely possible to think differently. Leave behind all your worries, not only those related to the crisis, but all those that preceded it, and spend the rest of your time enjoying life to the fullest.

More than 400 years, oh, if you give up the war of doom, there will be nearly 500 years, which is not a short time, with such a long time for mankind to develop from the Renaissance to the information age, it can also be used for the same time to create a carefree and comfortable life that has never been before, five idyllic centuries without worrying about the long-term future, the only responsibility is to enjoy life, how wonderful......"

Speaking of this, Luo Ji felt speechless.

Luo Ji claimed that her happiness with her children was part of the plan, a protective shield for Zhuang Yan's life, making her see her own happiness as a responsibility, which was the only way to keep her mentally balanced in the face of the harsh external world, but now he actually told the truth.

Zhuang Yan's eternally innocent gaze was irresistible to him, and he didn't dare to look at her every time she asked this question, and now, with the addition of Taylor's factor, he couldn't help but say this.

"That'...... When you say that, are you a wall-facer? Zhuang Yan asked.

"Yes, of course." Luo Ji wanted to make some remedies.

But Zhuang Yan's eyes were saying: You really think so......
