Chapter 80: The Edge of the City
"Continue to live as an Aboriginal people?"
Xiao Huan heard Yang Jia's words, and suddenly his heart moved.
If you can continue to live as an aborigine, does that also mean that other aborigines can also wake up and become strangers? So, is everyone essentially a thing? A monster in human skin yourself? The strangers and the skinned aborigines, as well as the aberrant creatures, are essentially the same, but the camouflage is torn off in a different way?
Yang Jia turned her head to look at Xiao Huan.
Xiao Huan thought a lot in his heart, but he didn't say it, but his eyes changed subtly.
Yang Jia seemed to keenly capture the change in Xiao Huan's expression, and after a long time, he nodded lightly and said, "Yes, you may still be in the deepest part of your body, hiding a soul from a foreign land, but on the surface, you are no different from other aborigines, and the will of the city will not notice you, so you can continue to live in a sweet dream...... Until the next time you wake up. ”
"In fact, even many strangers who have woken up will choose this method to put themselves to sleep."
"As long as you forget about it for a while, you can take the false world as real, right?"
“……”
Sleeping, is it equivalent to the treatment that the man in the suit said?
After treatment, if it relapses, is it equivalent to waking up for the second time?
Xiao Huan couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart, and a huge absurdity was born in his heart.
Everything the man in the suit said made him feel resistant from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't help but correspond to everything now.
In Xiao Huan's contemplation, Yang Jia sighed softly and said, "Will you blame me?" ”
Facing Xiao's incomprehensible eyes, Yang Jia hesitated slightly, and said softly: "There will indeed be many strangers, after seeing this strange world, they are terrified day and night, and even just want to go back to sleep again, and you ...... I do have a way to keep you asleep, though I don't know if you're going to wake up next time or sleep forever. ”
"If it's the latter, then your life will not be the same as it is now."
"To you, the world feels like nothing has changed."
“……”
"This ......"
It was only now that Xiao Huan suddenly understood where Yang Jia's sense of indebtedness to himself that he had always occasionally expressed came from.
Those aborigines also pointed out as soon as they came up that they were deceived by Yang Jia.
If from their point of view, they were brought into this huge illusion by Yang Jia, it was indeed like Yang Jia should pay all the responsibility for this, but in his heart, he had different ideas, after all, until he participated in that class reunion, his life and perception were too distorted and false, but it was Yang Jia who took him out of the never-ending nightmare.
In silence, looking at Yang Jia, who seemed to be calm, but was actually in a fluctuating mood, Xiao Huan suddenly smiled bitterly:
"Who's to blame a girl who is willing to let herself hide behind her?"
"Not to mention ......"
Xiao Huan looked at Yang Jia's face: "After all, you are not a person who gives up from the beginning, you are still quite responsible......"
“?”
Yang Jia's expression was a little strange, and when she heard that Xiao Huan didn't blame herself, she felt a little relaxed.
But pondering this strange word, I couldn't help but think: "If you don't go to college, it will have such a big impact on your expression ability?" ”
"Actually......"
Xiao Huan also took a long breath before he said seriously: "For me, the most important question is ......"
"Is this world real or fake?"
"Are we a group of people who have seen the truth of the world, or, as they say, a group of people who have been captured by illusions?"
“……”
He asked this question very seriously.
In front of the man in the suit, he showed his firm belief, but in front of Yang Jia, he couldn't help but ask this question.
"From the moment you embark on the Insight's route, maybe it's all doomed......"
And Yang Jia, after a moment of silence, suddenly sighed, started the car, and said softly: "This set of theories of the aborigines, basically every stranger will encounter it, I actually have many ways to prove to you the truth of our existence, to prove the loopholes in their theory, but, I think, it is better to use another method, let you judge for yourself!" ”
As he spoke, the car had already begun to drive down the mountain, leading to the bright and huge city.
Xiao Huan was a little curious: "Where to go?" ”
Yang Jia laughed and said, "I'll take you to really see this city." ”
In Xiao Huan's somewhat surprised expression, she stepped on the accelerator, and the car began to accelerate non-stop.
Xiao Huan quietly fastened his seat belt, and then followed Yang Jia into this huge city, crisscrossing streets appeared in front of him, and all kinds of people appeared, and saw tall buildings, where creatures lived in the lattice.
He saw people hiding in garbage bins, quietly peeking at passers-by, occasionally spitting out bright, flexible tongues.
Looking at the bloated and obese man, he sat at the long table in a suit, and there was not a wisp of wonderful carcass in front of him.
I saw someone peel off another person's face, cover their own face, and go out into the world with satisfaction.
He saw the emaciated slave following behind his master, holding a bright red heart in his hand, longing for his master to look back at him.
……
……
The car kept moving forward, and it didn't seem to slow down in between.
But Xiao Huan's eyes looked around, and he always saw some strange things from time to time, they existed in all corners of the city, some were normal, some were exaggerated, some were extremely scary, and some made people shudder, he didn't know how he was so coincidental, he saw these in the rapid movement of this car, I don't know if Yang Jia deliberately let him see it......
But when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly found that he had seen these things a long time ago.
It's just precipitated in the depths of memory, and even taken for granted, without realizing his falsehood.
Until, the car kept moving forward, Xiao Huan suddenly found that he seemed to have come to the edge of the city, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, because he had thought countless times in his heart about what existed on the edge of the city.
He used to look out from the pier and see nothing but the cold sea.
And the other edges of the city, because there is always a faint tension in the heart, so they have not tried.
But this time, Yang Jia came directly with herself.
When the vehicle drove into the highway leading to the outside of the city, as if driving on a viaduct that extended into the night sky, Yang Jia stopped.
The vehicle stopped abruptly, and Xiao Huan also followed the heartbeat.
There seemed to be a heavy sound of blood rushing and body wriggling in my ears.
"Where is this?"
When he asked this question, he faintly felt that his voice was a little hoarse.
"A place where you can see the city."
Yang Jia replied softly, "Be mentally prepared, don't be afraid......
"Of course I'm not afraid ......"
Xiao Huan subconsciously thought: "I'm a man after all, how can I ......?"
Then, he couldn't help but grunt and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Pushing the car door, he took a few steps forward with the encouragement of Yang Jia's eyes, and tried his best to look into the distance, and then in the process of his few steps, he saw everything in front of him, which was peeling off the surface, just like Chumen wandering on the sea on a speedboat, when the bow of the boat touched the tall and boundless blue wall, the false world revealed the truth.
Just a few steps away, Xiao Huan saw all the real scenes, and quickly distorted and changed.
It seems to be just a curtain, and when I pass through the curtain, I see the truth.
He saw everything bright, huge flesh and blood tissues, lying between the dark red heaven and earth, and saw thick and twisted blood vessels, stretching straight into the distant unknown, forever filled with dark red mist, between the heaven and the earth, and he even saw other people who tried to get out of the city, all of them were rolled up by the huge tentacles that fell from the sky at the moment of leaving the city, and fell into a deep sleep.
I saw a 100-meter-long high train, and the moment it drove out of the edge of the city, it was wrapped in huge flesh and blood.
Like the delivery of blood, it is instantly squeezed farther away.
……
……
"We are not the only city in this world."
Yang Jia's voice sounded behind Xiao Huan, and he raised his hand slightly, drawing a imaginary rectangular translucent frame in the air in front of him, and then slowly stepped forward, held Xiao Huan's palm, and said softly while walking forward:
"There is also communication and material transportation between cities."
"And scattered between the cities is the ever-red sea of mist, which is also the paradise where the Hell organization and the pirates are active...... I don't think there's anything more than what makes you see between cities better than what you doubt. ”
“……”
"Buzz ......"
When Xiao Huan was held by her and passed through the translucent frame together, Xiao Huan instantly felt his body speed up.
It seems that there is a power that does not belong to him, and he was instantly blessed with himself, and he actually flew directly into the air, and when he fell again, he had already fallen on a huge bloated blood vessel with a diameter of more than ten meters.
Yang Jia held Xiao Huan's hand and helped him stabilize his body.
Then, with her other hand, she pulled out a dagger and slashed downward, tearing open the surface of the blood vessels and going straight into the light rail.
"You see, these are the natives who are preparing to leave the city."
Yang Jia said softly: "At this time, they are probably on a wonderful trip in their dreams, right?" ”
"Maybe eating hot pot, singing songs, and occasionally glancing out the window, you can see the bright sunshine and the beautiful girl......"
"When they go back to the city, if you ask about it, they'll say the same thing, even in all sorts of details."
"But in fact?"
“……”
Yang Jia smiled slightly bitterly: "Outside the city, there will always be only the dead and silent misty sea, and the flesh and blood train. ”
"But this city will always give them the richest memories and the most real feelings."
"Just as they have always insisted that our feelings and experiences are just illusions given by the mother......"
