The fidgeting Mu Chen first thought of how he could escape from this closed room
However, after much research, he found that the room was really too closed, and it was not so difficult to escape successfully.
This room only looks superficially, like a European and American retro country style room, the door and walls seem to be made of wooden materials.
However, when Mu Chen touched it with his hands, he could clearly feel that the doors, walls and floors of this room were actually made of smooth and hard metal materials, but they were just disguised as wooden materials.
Moreover, this metal material is unimaginably hard. Mu Chen used all kinds of sharp objects that he could find in the house to smash doors, walls, and floors without leaving any marks on it.
So Mu Chen suddenly understood that this is a very strong "cage".
During the process of Mu Chen being imprisoned, that strange man also provided Mu Chen with many books for him to pass the time in the cage. These books are various and cover a wide range of topics, from astronomy and geography to folk novels, what? There are all types.
It’s just that these books are very strange. Mu Chen found that these books seemed to be foreign books, and the names of people and places in them were also foreign. Understand.
The restless Mu Chen couldn't read any of them.
Mu Chen tried to ask the man when he would let him go out when the man brought him food or some items and utensils, but the man never paid attention to Mu Chen's question. After giving Mu Chen a cold look, he dropped the things and left .
Later, this man didn't even deliver food or items to Muchen himself, and the one who delivered food to Mu Chen became a small cylindrical robot less than one meter tall.
The little robot came in through the sub-door of the metal door of the room (that is, a small door under the door panel), and put the food on the table for Mu Chen. It will be delivered every day when it arrives, and it will also clean up the dishes and room for Muchen.
Mu Chen tried to toss the robot, he even thought about preventing the robot from going out or coming in, he moved the tables and chairs to block the door, but the robot is very powerful, it can easily remove the things blocking the door, and it will also block the door. things restored.
The behavior pattern of the robot is very single, and it will not do anything other than deliver things to Muchen and clean up the room.
Muchen destroyed the room to increase its workload, and also attacked it with various objects that could cause damage, but unfortunately it was useless.
After tossing and tossing for many days, Mu Chen finally gave up doing these useless efforts.
He realized later that the man who imprisoned him seemed to want him to stay in such a closed environment, or to create such a closed environment for him on purpose.
But why do you want to do this? Was some kind of experiment being performed on him? Muchen remembered what the man said earlier that he was just a guinea pig.
Mu Chen couldn't think anymore. As time passed bit by bit, the repetitive days and boring days and nights made Mu Chen's concept of time become confused.
He couldn't tell day from night, because the room he stayed in was too closed, and he couldn't see the sky outside, or the sunrise and sunset.
The collapse of the concept of time is only the first step, followed by the strong sense of loneliness brought about by being unable to communicate with others for a long time, and the increasingly severe claustrophobic reaction.
Mu Chen tried his best to relieve this feeling by reading or reading books aloud, even though these books were all foreign translations, many of the allusions and meanings in them Mu Chen only half understood.
But Mu Chen still read the lines of the characters in the book aloud, trying to immerse himself in the world of the book. This does have some effect, but unfortunately the effect is not significant.
Immediately afterwards, Muchen began to fall into some kind of mental confusion.
He started to have "hallucinations"...or, it wasn't "hallucinations".
Initially, these "hallucinations" are not noticeable or even noticeable. For example: When Mu Chen is concentrating on writing and keeping a diary, he will find that the cup that was originally placed on his left hand has moved to his right hand at some point.
For another example, before going to bed, he would take off and throw the clothes on the floor, table, or chair at random. When he woke up, he would find that the clothes were neatly hung on the hangers.
Also, when Mu Chen writes a diary or reads a book at the writing desk, he often makes the desk messy. He doesn't deliberately tidy up those books, papers, pens and ink, but occasionally when he comes back to his senses, he will find that the desk does not know when it is It has become clean and tidy.
He had thought it was the little robot that would help him clean up his house, doing it for him while he slept.
But then this kind of situation began to increase, and Mu Chen would often find that the positions of some of his items had changed without him noticing.
It's as if there is another person alive in this room. This person's life style is completely different from that of the undisciplined Mu Chen. This person has a more regular schedule and rigorous living habits.
And this habit began to gradually erode Mu Chen in all aspects.
One day, Mu Chen found that he also habitually placed the cup on his right hand; he habitually arranged or hung up his clothes before going to bed; he habitually cleaned up the table after writing a diary and reading a book.
"What's wrong with me?" With a little panic, Mu Chen questioned himself in the depths of his heart.
Then he quickly gave the answer.
That weird man really did what he said, he gave Mu Chen a brand new life, and used this so-called "new life" to "ban" the original Mu Chen.
Mu Chen has really become "someone else". Not only does he have another person's appearance, but also that person's habits.
In the future, it will not only be a habit, Mu Chen can also foresee that that person's way of thinking and moral concepts will gradually replace Mu Chen's original ones.
He will become more and more like "that person", the person named Amu.
He will really become Ah Mu.
Slowly replaced by others, the original self gradually disappears. In this regard, Muchen panicked! He repeatedly urged himself to do something to stop this, but in fact, he did nothing.
It wasn't that Muchen didn't want to save himself, but that when he realized his own crisis, he seemed to have been corroded too thoroughly.
Unknowingly, Mu Chen had read and understood all of the massive translations of books in foreign languages that the weird man had provided him. Those profound words and knowledge gradually settled in Mu Chen's mind.
What was even more frightening was that later on, what the man provided to Mu Chen was no longer books translated into Chinese, but books in pure foreign languages, which Mu Chen could also understand... He could understand a language he had never learned at all.
These books affected his thinking and personality, allowing him to personally disintegrate his worldview and reshape the Three Views.
It is only one-sided to subtly change Mu Chen through the cultivation of living habits and book culture.
Muchen soon ushered in the main event in the following days.
He began to dream. The dream is the memory that belongs to Amu. Amu's fragmented life is repeated in Mu Chen's sleep.
Moreover, Muchen experienced Amu's life from Amu's perspective. Muchen was almost forced to substitute himself into that era, the era three hundred years ago.
When Mu Chen woke up from the long dream, he finally understood why the man wanted to decorate the room where he was imprisoned in such a retro European pastoral style. Because this room is decorated according to the room that Amu lived in three hundred years ago.
The placement of beds, tables and chairs is exactly the same as it was back then.
This caused Mu Chen to fall into a state of extreme trance, he could no longer judge the passage of time and the changes of time, he began to not know who he really was, nor where he was.
At this point, the purpose of the aliens has actually succeeded.
Successfully "destroyed" the original Muchen and reshaped it into a new Amu.
…
"I have to be amazed!" Zhou Yue, who had never spoken and listened to the story with Mu Qin, said, "But it's really... a fucking shocking experience!"
Mu Qin said: "That is to say, you are actually in a state of half-forced half-obedience, becoming the so-called 'Amu'."
"I was really reluctant in the early stage, but I have fully accepted it in the later stage." Mu Chen replied, "And Amu has brought me a lot of benefits. I was originally an incompetent person with low self-esteem and only complaining, but The influence of Amu on my habits and personality gave me a rebirth-like experience."
"I don't know whether this situation is good or bad, but I don't bother to question it anymore." Having said that, Mu Chen lowered his head to look at Mu Xing who was curled up quietly in his arms.
Mu Xing was looking at Mu Chen, his eyes were wide open, and he was staring at Mu Chen intently. Mu Chen paused, and stretched out his hand to pinch Little Xingxing's face.
"Look, he's the same as me." Mu Chen looked at Xiao Xingxing tenderly, but grabbed Mu Xing's chin with his hands unceremoniously, forcing him to raise his head high.
Mu Xing couldn't resist, put his hands on Mu Chen's shoulders, and obediently raised his head. This posture made him a little out of breath, his eyes were wet, and he looked very pitiful.
"I was corrupted by Ah Mu, but this guy was completely influenced by Ah Xin." Muchen almost wanted to kiss him, but he still managed to restrain himself.
"I'm sorry that my brother's actions have caused you trouble, but unfortunately, he is also a pawn in the chess game." Mu Chen said to Mu Qin, "I think the reason why he became like this is that I'm afraid it was calculated in advance."
"Just like turning me into Ah Mu, he was also turned into Ashin with invisible help."
Mu Qin's eyes flickered, and his eyes flicked back and forth between Mu Chen and Mu Xing, and then he said in a low voice: "So that alien still fulfilled his promise to He Erqiu, and he really made it three hundred years later. Ah Mu and Ashin 'resurrected', albeit in such a way."
Mu Chen let go of Xiao Xingxing's hand, looked at Mu Qin and said, "Yes, it is true, but the fulfillment of this promise symbolizes disaster for us."
Mu Qin didn't quite understand, he frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"I previously guessed that the civilization of this alien's home star was extinct, and he was traveling alone in the universe. And you ask me why I guess like this? What is the basis?"
Mu Chen said: "I'll give you the answer now. Do you still remember the hundreds of coffins containing the corpses of aliens that appeared in my memory? And the aliens said 'they are all meat block'."
Mu Qin said: "The corpses can indeed prove that these aliens are dead, but just a few thousand corpses can't prove that the aliens' home star system is completely extinct, right?"
"You forgot, these magical aliens are 'immortal'." Mu Chen said, "They can temporarily store their souls in a space similar to the edge world, and wait for new containers to be made, and then they can attach their souls In the container, reborn with a new attitude."
"So these aliens don't have the concept of death, they are immortal." Mu Chen paused, and continued, "But that guy told me 'they are already dead', and also said, 'Life depends on Looting and murdering other lives to perpetuate' or something like that."
Mu Qin had an epiphany, but this epiphany made him terrified, and even sent a chill down his spine: "Could it be possible, what do you mean...?"
"If A Mu and A Xin are successfully 'resurrected' on me and Mu Xing." Although there is no evidence, although it is only speculation, Mu Chen can almost conclude, "That means that the souls of those aliens can also be resurrected." To be 'reborn' in other humans."
"He used this resurrection experiment as a test. He wanted his species to resurrect from the dead on Earth through the human body."
"It's impossible!" Mu Qin couldn't believe it. He thought it was a fantasy, "This kind of statement is too outrageous!"
Mu Chen sighed: "I don't have any other explanation, this is the only answer I can think of. Because there is no evidence, I only told you a few of my conjectures so far."
