From the first day of entering "Owl", Wu Sheng has been thinking about how "Owl" exists.
Stable parallel universe? Unstable spacetime warps? Consciousness space where thinking is embodied
The information currently available does not support him in making any conclusions.
So he never told his friends about this.
If he is solving a difficult problem and thinks he has the possibility to solve it, then he will never solve it halfway, and show it with ambiguous semi-finished products. Whenever he wants to give it, it must be a sure and clear correct solution.
Wu Sheng thinks this is a rigorous scientific spirit, but in high school, Xu Wang pointed it out, saying that you are self-confident to conceited, conceited to arrogant, arrogant to paranoid, and you deserve to be beaten.
Wu Sheng didn't accept the correction with humility back then, no, ten years later, he still had this virtue until Xu Wang "remembered".
A world that has existed for at least ten years, playing with the "chosen ones" to the applause.
When he realized how powerful his opponent was, Wu Sheng suddenly felt fortunate that he was not fighting alone.
"The following are all my assumptions and conjectures," Wu Sheng cleared his throat and finally said, "Welcome to interrupt at any time for an interactive discussion..."
Xu Wang: "Why do you suddenly become humble..."
"The appearance of the bug means that there is a problem with the operation of the program itself," Wu Sheng looked at Xu Wang, "The same goes for the owl."
Xu Wang understood a little: "You mean, that night, the owl malfunctioned?"
"Then the coordinates and time don't match, it makes sense," Qian Aiquan contacted. "Something went wrong, and everything must be messed up."
"But it's not right," said Kuang Jinxin. "The passers-by that the captain saw were still passing through the pass normally."
Wu Sheng nodded: "So it's not the owl's internal fault, but the 'path' that connects it with reality. Something went wrong."
Kuang Jinxin: "..."
Qian Ai: "… "
Translator Xu Debut: "The moment I was sucked in, the transmission path deviates."
"Oh—" Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai suddenly became enlightened.
"It was zero o'clock at that time, and the passage between the owl and the real world opened," Wu Sheng continued, "Xu Wang should not have been selected, but for some reason, he strayed into a secret passage and entered in an unconventional way. "
Xu Wang's black line: "I was forced to do so, why did you make it sound like sneaking in..."
"Brother Sheng, if you say that, I understand!" Kuang Jinxin raised his hand, but before he was called, he couldn't hold back and spoke directly, "The owl is like a room, we are the tenants, NPC, infection department building. Ah, those are the furniture in the room, but neither we nor the furniture know about it, there is a mezzanine in the wall, and the captain entered this mezzanine and looked at us from behind the wall!"
Qian Ai: "Can you be any more terrifying..."
Wu Sheng: "There are owls in the mezzanine."
Qian Ai: "… "
What he said was a rant, not really wanting to be more terrifying! ! !
Xu Wang suddenly became clear, Kuang Jinxin's metaphor, and Wu Sheng's addition, made the "phantom tour" ten years ago fall to the ground from the clouds and mist, and the context became clear: "I entered a place that only belongs to owls. space, so we can talk to it…”
"The problem is that an owl is an owl, and the level is the world of an owl," Qian Ai's head became clearer, but he was confused again, "Is there still space inside the space?"
"Theoretically, a multiverse exists," Wu Sheng said, "otherwise we would be sucked into the owl, and there would be no way to explain it at all."
"Is it possible that our consciousness is just sucked in," Kuang Jinxin tilted his head and thought, "Actually, the body is still somewhere in reality?"
Xu Wang: "..."
Qian Ai: "… "
Don't bring up such horror conjectures innocently! ! !
Wu Sheng: "It's possible. Whether it's breaking through the barrier or bringing back the reality from injury, it's all a simulated phantom given by the level of consciousness. The actual us may be lying in the experimental cabin now..."
You are seriously discussing it! ! !
"But," Wu Sheng turned the conversation, raised his eyes firmly, and looked at every partner, "consciousness should never be trapped in the body, the realm deep in the brain is more worthy of our struggle and efforts."
Three partners: "… "
In Wu Sheng's eyes, they really saw a person's endless yearning and dedication to exploring the unknown.
but-
Qian Ai: "Why don't we continue to discuss why the captain's crossing path deviates?"
Xu Wang and Kuang Jinxin: "Totally agree!"
Rainy nights, thunder and lightning, chaotic magnetic fields, space distortion, Xu Wang's own mood swings... The friends discussed these "suspicious points" for a long time.
Especially when the accident happened, Wu Sheng turned around and saw an empty corridor, but at that moment, Xu Wang could clearly see Wu Sheng looking back, and even through the shape of his mouth, he could tell that he was saying "thunder". An important basis for the "space-time dislocation theory".
In the end, it's just speculation.
Which of these conditions is the key? Or are all conditions necessary? Or, they think in the wrong direction completely, and the real situation is irrelevant to what they think
Nobody has an answer.
Last, and most important, what the owl said.
Kuang Jinxin: "Captain, are you sure that the owl that talked to you later is the same person as the sound we usually hear?"
Xu Wang: "Absolutely right."
Kuang Jinxin: "Then why did it say it, the first time someone heard it speak?"
"Damn, isn't someone really trapped in it?" Qian Ai thought, the back of his neck became colder, "I can only recite the prescribed lines at ordinary times? When I want to tell the truth, I'm beaten badly?"
Xu Wang: "Can't you think of a high-tech punishment..."
Kuang Jinxin: "I still feel like artificial intelligence. Every day, every level, there is a team rushing through. If it is a human, it can't take care of it..."
The discussion was fruitless, and the three partners naturally looked at the military division.
Wu Sheng pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head: "Why not 'help me', but 'help me'?"
Kuang Jinxin: "..."
Qian Ai: "… "
Xu Wang: "This point you are concerned about..."
Although Wu Junshi's perspective is very unique, he did not say why in the end.
Brainstorming is very energy-intensive, and the dizzy little friends are too lazy to move, order takeout and solve dinner directly in the living room.
"Old Money Eats China" is no longer live today. According to Qian Ai, receiving information is overloaded today. If it is broadcast, I can't help chatting with fans about parallel universes, and it is easy to lose fans.
After dinner, it was past nine o'clock in the evening.
After all, it was in someone else's house, not a hotel. Even though Xu Wang said that the bedroom could lie down, Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai insisted on staying on the sofa in the living room.
Xu Wang didn't force it, he went back to the bedroom, and lay directly on the bed with his clothes on.
The box has been returned to the closet, and once the gate of memory is opened, it is difficult to close again.
Xu Wang put his arm on his forehead, blocking the extra light above his head, but he had to look at the dim yellow light on the ceiling.
He knew that his eyes would be dizzy if he watched it for a long time, and he had to do everything possible to watch it for a longer time. This was him ten years ago.
He was actually very grateful to Wu Sheng for pushing that.
Sometimes, people's thoughts can't be stopped by themselves.
If there is no such thing, he may still be on the edge of ambiguity, worrying about gains and losses every day, his mood fluctuates up and down, let alone concentrate on preparing for the exam, when his head is hot, it is possible to directly confess. tragic.
Meet Wu Sheng in ten years
Even if the owls were paired, they both scored minutes to break up the team.
He was even more grateful to Wu Sheng for "not mentioning a word" after that night.
In this way, they will have the opportunity to return to the "friendship line", and will be able to form a team again after ten years and walk side by side.
Like Wu Sheng
certainly.
But you have already taken the lovelorn memorial, you can't go back.
"There's no room for the sofa," Wu Sheng sighed pitifully from the door, "Although you didn't invite me, I volunteered to come over."
"Are you euphemistically accusing..." Xu Wang was angry and funny, rolled to the side, and immediately left a large space for the one-meter-eight bed.
Having lived in the same room in the hotel for a week, Xu Wang is still relatively calm about sharing a room or even a bed with Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng lay down, obediently guarding the one-third of an acre of land that Xu Wang had given up, relaxed his body, looked at the ceiling and breathed a sigh of relief.
For a while, neither of them spoke.
They were all lying down, all motionless, all looking at the ceiling, and still not speaking, which is rather strange.
Unable to bear it, Xu Wang took the initiative to extend an olive branch: "Did you doubt parallel universes from the beginning?"
Wu Sheng: "Huh?"
Xu Wang: "We just formed a team. The day you lived here for the first time, I saw your laptop website."
Wu Sheng: "Oh."
Xu Wang: "Why didn't you tell us at that time?"
Wu Sheng: "It's just a conjecture, the theory is not yet mature."
Xu Wang: "Is the theory mature now?"
Wu Sheng: "I'm mature."
Xu Wang: "..."
Turning over and lying on his side with his back to Wu Sheng, Xu Wang struggled to hold back the urge to kick him out of bed with one kick.
Wu Sheng didn't need to look, he knew what Xu Wang's expression was now, he must be squinting, grinding his teeth, and kicking him eight hundred feet in his heart.
The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, Wu Sheng looked at the dim yellow light, like amber.
He never forgot what happened that night, as long as he could remember, every picture, every sentence, and even how much rain it was at that time, he remembered it clearly.
Before that night, he had never thought that he and Xu Wang could be other than friends.
So the moment Xu Wang approached slowly, he instinctively panicked.
No, he actually panicked all night, first because he couldn't find Xu Wang, and then because he didn't know how to deal with it.
He didn't even know what Xu Wang really wanted to express at that moment, or he just wanted to find solace so much that he was in a trance and confusion.
It took him almost a month to understand himself.
But on the second day, Xu Wang was fine, and he was even more attentive and devoted to his studies than before.
That was the first time he discovered that guessing people's hearts was much more difficult than doing questions.
Xu Wang is going to take the college entrance examination, and his family is busy helping him to go abroad. The trajectory of the two people is extending in completely different directions at a clearly visible speed.
He didn't disturb the other person's review anymore, and waited until the end of the high school entrance examination before giving the book.
Later, there is no later.
After several correspondence, the confession was rejected, the first love died prematurely, and it was neat and tidy.
He also thought that if he hadn't pushed Xu Wang away that night, would things have been different
do not know.
There is no if in the world, and there is no answer after if.
All he knew was that that night, he did the stupidest thing in his life and lost his heart.
…
Zero owl call, 1/23, snow field.
In this huge world, they are the only team, there is no cruel competition, there is no more intimidation, and the long-lost comfort.
As soon as you come in, the first thing you receive is the 3/23 handover reward and the 4/23 coordinates. The reward is as always, one stationery + one weapon.
But right now, they have more important things to do.
Since it is not the level to be passed, there is no crisis such as black bears. The four partners calmly found a cave and avoided the cold wind. Then they formed a circle, stood still, and waited for the moment to witness the miracle.
Xu Wang held the keychain, folded his hands together, and closed his eyes.
So much has been said, and so much has been analyzed, without this one and only evidence, everything is empty talk.
three minutes later.
Qian Ai: "Well, are you sure that's how you called?"
Kuang Jinxin: "Would you like to change your posture?"
Wu Sheng: "Or throw it on the ground and see."
Qian Ai: "Do you have any humanity, that's meow..."
"Snapped-"
The key fell to the ground, and a black, orange, and white fog rose in an instant, and then the thick fog dissipated. A small milk cat with three flowers licked its paws and wiped its face diligently.
Qian Ai: "How do you know to throw..."
Wu Sheng: "It's all played like this in magical children's dramas."
Qian Ai: "Your research is too broad..."
"What kind of fairy stationery is this? It's too cute!!!" Kuang Jinxin couldn't take it anymore, his heart was full, he stretched out his arms and hugged Xiao Sanhua into his arms.
"It's cute. When the group of people first used it, I wanted to rub it, but I didn't get it. Later, they ran away, went home, and left it alone, not to mention how pitiful." In the past, I was rubbing my ears and scratching my chin again, waiting for Xiao Sanhua comfortably. While licking the cat, I asked the other person very seriously, "How come you haven't grown up after ten years?"
"Cats really are devils..." Qian Ai looked at the two "critically ill cat-friendly patients" and sighed for a while, but when she saw the little head tilted, her blue and green eyes looked at him innocently, and she walked over.
Five minutes later.
Qian Ai: "Is this also a one-off stationery? Will it be gone next time?"
Xu Wang: "I don't know, let's see if it's five o'clock, can you bring it back to reality?"
Qian Ai: "If I can't bring it back, I will go to Endless Sea to open the treasure chest and make a nest!!!"
"By the way, does it have a name?" Kuang Jinxin asked.
Xiao Sanhua, who had been transferred to Qian Ai's arms, suddenly raised her head, her little ears perked up high, as if she knew what she was talking about.
Xu Wang was stunned and shook his head.
"Then let's get one for it now!" Kuang Jinxin smiled brightly.
"If you name it, you will have feelings." Qian Ai's heart has already begun to pantothenic acid. "If you don't go back, will it be gone the next time you come in?"
Kuang Jinxin: "This is specially reserved for the captain by the owl, and it must be different from the ordinary phantom!"
"Wang Wang." Wu Sheng didn't know when, he took a stone and wrote two big characters on the ground, "The captain's name is Wangwang, and the captain's cat is Wangwang, perfect."
Qian Ai: "There are good reasons."
Kuang Jinxin: "It's catchy!"
Xu Wang's black line: "You name a cat 'Wang Wang', won't your conscience hurt?!"
Wu Sheng got up, came to Qian Ai, and respectfully asked Xiao Sanhua's opinion: "Wang Wang, do you like it?"
Xiao Sanhua stared at him for a while, her small eyes blinked, her little ears moved, and she happily called out for the first time: "Squeak."
Wu Sheng: "..."
Qian Ai, Kuang Jinxin, Xu Wang: "..."
, the main body, a Sanhua little milk cat whose name is Wang Wang, and the sound is squeak.
At five o'clock in the morning, the four partners returned to reality, and Wang Wang became a keychain again, which fell into Xu Wang's palm.
Qian Ai calmed down: "You don't need to fight sea monsters anymore..."
"I'm afraid not." Wu Sheng said.
Qian Ai didn't understand, and Xu Wang was confused: "What do you mean?"
Wu Sheng said: "If we want to know what an owl is and what we want to help, we can only continue to move forward and collect information more deeply."
"Yes," Xu Wang was even more confused, "Isn't that what we decided?"
"Not enough stationery," Wu Sheng said. "Think about the third level, how much stationery we used, and now this reward, let alone in the future, it's impossible to beat 4/23 alone."
Xu Wang understood, and his heart slowly fell. It wasn't that he lost his passion and impulsiveness, but that the farther the goal was, the more difficult it was, and the more he had to be calm and clearer.
"Go to the endless sea again."
Wu Sheng looked at the eastern sky, where a new morning was glowing, and the first smeared white.
