I still can't believe such an absurd thing would happen to me. I also don't want to believe that such an absurd thing will happen in the world.

I looked into Zhang Tongmeng's eyes: "What does Ning Hanqing want you to tell me?"

He said: "All. All about Changning."

Zhang Tongmeng stood up. It seemed that he was not used to sitting in a chair. He could not help but stand up and walk around. "Let’s start with this nation. Before the Changning project started in 1970, Captain Ning had already had some thoughts about Changning. After a period of attention, and he has some ancient documents in his hands, which contain records of Changning.

After an inspection in 1970, Captain Ning sent personnel to conduct a comprehensive observation of the two above-ground cities and two underground caves. Through the exchanges with the experts of the geological team's archaeological team, Captain Ning has basically understood the affairs of this nation in his heart. . "

Zhang Tongmeng said: "Later in 1973, he explained all this to me on the phone. The time when this nation first began to be active was about two thousand years ago. It can only be speculated that it was about the Han Dynasty. Where did their ancestors come from? However, it is uncertain whether it is living here or migrating from other places.

But the origin of everything came from the ancestors of this ethnic group, who discovered something underground. "

Zhang Tongmeng looked at me, and I motioned him to continue. He walked around in the clearing: "This thing is the mother body that Captain Ning said. The mother body is embedded in the depths of the rock wall of the underground abyss, and the tentacles are directed towards you through spawning tentacles. A type of sarcoma of the external reproductive system. Later, the ancestors discovered that this type of sarcoma is actually edible. In such a dark and obscure age, what is more important than food

As a result, the sarcoma produced by the mother's body became the most important food for the ancestors, and the weird and unheard-of mother body has gradually developed into the god of the ancestors. The ancestors lived here from generation to generation. In order to get closer to their gods, they moved their places of residence into the ground.

This is the emergence of the first underground peoples.

However, things have never ended so easily. There are so many weird things in the abyss. The weirdest thing, Captain Ning guessed, they might have encountered an extremely weird thing that year, and this incident even caused panic among the entire ethnic group. "

Zhang Tongmeng looked at me and saw that I didn’t say anything. He went on to say: "That is, some weird fragments will gradually appear in their sleep, some things that they have never done before, appear in their dreams, and what appears in their dreams. Fragments should be the real experiences of other people. After waking up, all the real fragments experienced by other people appeared in everyone's dreams.

The fragments of some people fighting when they were young were dreamed by seven or eight people, and the fragments of some being lazy while working were dreamed by the patriarch. But the dreamer can't see who the person in the dream is, because he dreams that dream from the first point of view.

The people of the underground community cannot explain this phenomenon. They can only attribute all this to their gods. It is the great gods who imply that they must work harder, be kinder, more pious, and be kind to others. Because any improper behavior you do may be known to the people in this group.

As the days passed, this weird dream continued, and an unexpected result appeared: everyone’s memories began to be mixed together, and gradually, people began to not know what was in their own body. In the end, I have more memories, or others have more memories.

When a person sees a rock, he will say with an expression of recollection that when I was a child, I had a foot on this rock. Then he will realize that, oh, this is a fragment in a dream, this is someone else's business. When the second person comes here, he will also think that he had been here when he was a child, but maybe he was affected more deeply, or he was a careless person, he would not understand it, he might really think he had been here. foot.

When the time is longer, everyone thinks that they have been on this rock, and no longer understand and understand, the qualitative change occurs.

This experience is actually the common memory of such a nation. It no longer belongs to the individual, but to the collective.

As the influence deepens day by day, people will gradually forget their names and their interpersonal circle. They know everything about their ethnic group well, and they know all the details of their ethnic group. The unprecedented unity of this ethnic group has become a horror. Individual. To be precise, they have only one person, but this person occupies countless bodies.

This situation is especially obvious in the new generation. Children who have memories from the beginning have fallen into a chaotic situation. There are too many memories of others, too many memories of this ethnic group before their eyes. , They no longer exist in their lives since they were born.

This is a great god, and the power of the underground nation can be maximized by him. Everyone no longer has privacy, no selfish desires, or even their own body, because everyone’s memory is the same. Perhaps the first generation of underground peoples will still have a little distant and vague identity memory, but in the second and third generations, all individual things are crushed and everything becomes part of the collective.

They are like cells, with the mother as the brain, completely becoming a compact individual. No one will really die. As long as there is one person living in this nation, no one will really die.

So they built sacrificial places for the gods, closely united around the gods, consumed the food that the gods provided for them, and worshiped everything about the gods.

All of them are public, public, and even they can seamlessly transfer labor. When a group of people was working outside, another group fell asleep quickly in the cave. When they wake up, the working people will come back to rest, and the waking people will immediately go forward and continue their unfinished work. Because they shared everything in their sleep. They have only one person, and handing over work to themselves is the easiest thing. "

"This is the origin of this nation." Zhang Tongmeng looked at me: "Actually, they were affected by the mother's body, and they unknowingly stored their own memory fragments in the mother's body, and then passed it out from the mother's body. In the evolution of generations, they have actually become part of the mother's body. The mother's body is their only brain. Relying on the mixed common memory stored in the mother's body, they become one person."

I let out a long sigh. There is something in it that I have guessed before, but most of the information is too shocking, just like a fairy tale. However, all this reported by Zhang Tongmeng can indeed be confirmed by what we have seen and heard along the way. (End of this chapter)
