How different are dreams and reality
It can be said to be very big.
But it can also be said to be a fine line.
In Zhuangzi’s Dream, Zhuangzi once raised a philosophical question: if dreams are real enough, do people still have the ability to realize that they are dreaming
Zhou Ze had this feeling at this moment. Originally, he might have just been borrowing a perspective. After being dragged into this dream, he always regarded himself as a spectator.
It's nothing more than watching a more realistic and interactive movie.
But as the dream deepened, Boss Zhou was slowly drawn into it and began to feel the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of the characters in the dream and to touch their emotions.
It is clearly a human laboratory that treats living people as "roads". Living people are the least valuable materials here and are consumed every day.
But in the cell, the anklet was made into something that everyone was eager for by lies. Zhou Ze didn't know what the anklet specifically meant, but it might just be an excuse, which was not difficult to guess.
For example, exchanging prisoners of war, or releasing prisoners every day to gain their freedom. As the rulers who dominate this place, they have too many ways to create one beautiful dream after another for the lambs under their command, giving them hope to continue to survive in the harsh environment.
This little bit of hope, the "hope" that can be seen every day, can enable most people to tenaciously overcome the ravages brought by harsh living conditions, allowing them to survive as much as possible and then be used as experimental subjects.
Zhou Ze could never forget the scene where the husband, after a bloody fight, got the anklet and handcuffed his pregnant wife;
In the husband's view, he had done the best he could. He gave up his chance to leave and gave this opportunity to his wife and the child in her belly.
However, his wife had just died in extreme pain on the operating table, and his child was taken out and continued to be experimented on, which earned the white coats a cry of amazement.
"Yoshi."
Every laboratory is working on their own projects, including experiments on infant bacteria, limb attachments, and even human-animal hybridization. From a modern perspective, these experiments are almost ridiculous and outlandish, but they are carried out day and night here.
It's not that the Japanese here are immature and fanciful, nor that they really don't have enough professional qualities, but because their raw materials of living specimens are so abundant and in an endless supply, so they can experiment and try out those ideas and concepts that seem like fantastic stories as freely as possible.
After all, for them, the least valuable thing is cost, and the thing they have the least shortage of is also cost.
Zhou Ze has been to hell, seen the Yellow Springs Road, and seen the flowers of the other shore, but to be honest, in this dream, in this place, he seems to have witnessed what the real "hell" is.
This is actually how the sense of immersion comes about, building up bit by bit and slowly seeping in.
Therefore,
When the huge safe with metal pipes inside made a roar,
Zhou Ze looked towards that place again.
The one he noticed right from the start.
Originally, he thought it was a blood bank because he had seen people in white coats drawing blood from it. The blood that was injected into pregnant women, including his own body, was actually grafted from the metal tube outside the safe.
The young man in the white coat was extremely distraught at this time. He was trembling with fear and mumbling something. Zhou Ze couldn't understand it anyway.
At this time, no one knew whether it was the shouting of the white coats or the muffled sound of the safe, but more and more white coats began to gather in this laboratory.
Most people had looks of fear on their faces, as if they had a natural awe of the things in the safe, but there were also a few gray-haired old guys who were full of excitement and eager to try.
Zhou Ze, the test subject, was ignored at this time. Zhou Ze felt as if he had just broken a small record, but no one seemed to notice him at this moment.
Several of the oldest or most senior people in white coats started arguing fiercely. They argued until their faces turned red and no one was willing to back down.
Listening to the constant noise of a language he couldn't understand, Zhou Ze felt a little overwhelmed.
At this time, the young man in a white coat who had been holding Zhou Ze's hand and crawling walked to an older man, pointed at Zhou Ze and said something. The older man waved his hand impatiently, as if to say that it was really inconsiderate of you to disturb me with such a trivial matter at this time.
The young man in the white coat kept saying "Haha" and "Haha" and accepted the criticism with a respectful and sincere expression.
Then he walked over and pulled Zhou Ze out of the laboratory.
Maybe,
It's probably because they don't have time to take care of me for the time being, and I did have a small breakthrough in the experiment, so keeping me around is still of some use, Zhou Ze thought to himself.
The young men in white coats did not send Zhou Ze back to the cell. It was obviously impossible for him to be sent to the cell because Zhou Ze had seen the true meaning of the anklet. For these men in white coats, they hoped that their "road masters" would live stronger and be used for their experiments.
Zhou Ze was pushed into a slightly larger room, which was half the size of a basketball court. The young man in a white coat tied Zhou Ze to an iron rack with a thin iron chain, then talked to several white coats who were working inside, and then ran back to the original laboratory without stopping.
Zhou Ze was sitting here. At first, he was still thinking about the muffled sound that had just happened and the safe, but soon, Zhou Ze's attention was attracted by the room he was in.
There is a huge metal and glass container in the room, and you can see what's inside through some of the glass.
There was a woman and a girl inside. They seemed to be a mother and daughter, because the little girl snuggled up to the woman, and the woman was stroking the girl's head to comfort her.
Among the people in white coats outside, one was holding a camera, one was holding a timer and writing some data report, and the other two were standing next to a blower-like thing next to the container and starting to operate the machine.
At the beginning,
Zhou Ze didn't know what kind of experiment this was.
Slowly,
He understood.
Because the principle of the experiment is very simple, they are constantly pumping out the air in the container, and there is a dashboard that displays the real-time pressure in the container.
As the air is continuously pumped out,
Zhou Ze saw that the mother and daughter in the container were both lying on the ground, with expressions of extreme pain.
The little girl escaped from her mother's control, climbed to the edge of the container, and kept hitting the container towards the outside, but her shouting and crying received no response at all;
The people in white coats all around were doing their jobs in an orderly and skilled manner.
at last,
The little girl looked at Zhou Ze who was tied in the corner.
She was asking Zhou Ze for help.
She couldn't tell.
In fact, Zhou Ze was also one of them and could not save her at all. Perhaps, this was the innocence of the child. Her mother may have foreseen the ending and seemed somewhat calm instead.
Zhou Ze looked at the girl in the container.
The girl in the container was also looking at him.
The two pairs of eyes just stared at each other.
Zhou Ze wanted to do something, but he couldn't break free from the ropes. He had been trying and working hard, which meant that without realizing it, Zhou Ze had forgotten that he was just a spectator watching a movie, and had forgotten that he was just a spectator. He put himself into the story, and he wanted to do something. He wanted to stop everything that was about to happen.
Actually, I want to stop... what has already happened.
Originally, no matter how strong the chain was, it was like paper in front of his nails, but now, he was completely unable to do anything about it.
As the air was continuously sucked out, the little girl's internal organs began to be squeezed out from her eyes, mouth and even nipples. All the holes on her body became outlets for the internal organs to overflow.
The blood vessels all over the body bulge like earthworms densely covering the body.
Her face was swollen like a giant sponge and her eyeballs were bulging, but she was still staring at Zhou Ze. Perhaps this was her last instinct for survival.
Zhou Ze kept struggling, hoping to break free from the chain, and from time to time there was a "crackling" sound of friction, but this struggle seemed to be of no avail.
The girl's body was slowly compressed and stretched.
at the same time,
The intestines in the body began to "come out" from the eyes and mouth continuously, like living things that were drilling out by themselves.
This screen,
It makes my scalp tingle.
It's like when you are walking and accidentally step on an earthworm to death, and all the yellow and white inside the earthworm's body bursts out all at once, but the person in front of you is a human.
You can feel her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
I could feel her pain.
as well as,
Her despair.
“Baji…”
The girl's eyes seemed to explode.
It seemed to pop out again.
Then her body twitched for a while.
Fell to the ground dejectedly,
She finally stopped looking at Zhou Ze.
But even if I die,
The intestines and other organs in her body were still being compressed by the air pressure, and the people in white coats who were responsible for pumping out the air were still working.
After the air is exhausted to the limit,
Take good photos and record data.
Several people in white coats cheered.
For example, when the time comes and the workers get off work, they can go back to the dormitory to rest. Someone may still have a ticket to a comfort station and can go there to relax.
A man in a white coat saw Zhou Ze still mechanically pulling the chain.
Pointing at Zhou Ze and laughing, several other companions also laughed along.
Zhou Ze was "temporarily" placed here by another laboratory. They certainly would not put Zhou Ze into the container in the same way. Moreover, their experimental projects and data for today had been completed, so they could "go off work" and have a rest.
I heard laughter.
Zhou Ze looked up in confusion.
Looking at the white coats in front of me,
But he did not stop pulling the chains that bound him.
I know it's useless.
After all, this is a dream.
No matter how real it is,
It's just a dream.
But at the moment, it seemed that only this action could make Zhou Ze feel as if he was doing something.
perhaps,
This can numb yourself.
“Click… Click…”
Zhou Ze continued to pull the chain.
The few people in white coats next to them were still smiling.
“Click… Click…”
Zhou Ze's mind flashed back to the last scene of the little girl staring at him.
Her eyes,
Originally clear and lovely,
At the end, there was a "Baji" sound.
That’s all.
Hiss…
Heart,
Suddenly it hurts.
It has been a long time since I felt heartache, especially after I lost my heart.
I endured the discomfort in my chest.
Zhou Ze continued to pull the chain.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound came from another laboratory!
In the first laboratory where Zhou Ze had stayed, several people in white coats were still arguing. A group of people in white coats were standing respectfully nearby, waiting for the outcome of their argument.
Suddenly,
The door of the safe was hit again from the inside!
All the people in white coats were stunned.
They all looked at the huge safe in front of them with inexplicable horror.
"Click..." Zhou Ze continued to twitch.
"Bang!!!" The sound of the safe colliding was heard again.
“Click…”
“Bang!!!”
“Click…”
“Bang!!!”
The sound is getting louder and louder.
Resounding throughout the institute,
All the people in white coats in the laboratory where the safe was located were so scared that they squatted on the ground. The staff in other laboratories who heard the noise were also puzzled and put down their work and came out to check the situation.
Only the few white coats in the laboratory where Zhou Ze is now,
He was looking at Zhou Ze as if he were a monster.
His face was filled with fear.
Because they were surprised to find that
Zhou Ze pulled the chain every time.
And the frequency of that huge muffled sound,
Exactly the same!
