implication [end times]

solar, of the sun.

In fact, the Morse code corresponding to the letter r is ..., but there is an extra dot at the end of this telegram, which may have been accidentally pressed, or there may be letters behind it that have not been typed.There are many letters starting with ·, a, f, h, i, j, l, p, r, s, u, v, w, twelve possibilities.However, it seemed that each of the letters tried did not look like the correct answer.

This telegram is puzzling.Colleagues in the communication team of the inspection team tried to send a telegram back to inquire, but there was no reply to the message, which was expected.The third and second rings in the main city have fallen one after another, and the situation outside the city will not be much better.In fact, the post office station outside the city has been lost for a long time.The post office headquarters in the city has received several distress calls and telegrams from individuals, but the people in the city are already unable to protect themselves and can't do anything.Relatives and friends of some residents are still outside the city, trying to contact the outside world through the post office, but very few have heard back.

Since the deciphering of Ran Yu's two previous messages was related to Captain Lou, this time Lou Yue's opinion was undoubtedly considered first.Lou Yue thought for a long time, but he could think of few things about the sun.In his impression, Ran Yu didn't seem to have specifically mentioned the sun to him.If it is too everyday conversation, Ran Yu will not mention it in particular. After all, he was very lucky to find a telegraph machine available outside the city, and there may not be a second chance, so this word must express something special, Something that people in the city desperately need to know.

What the people in the city need to know most now is of course the way to eliminate sea ghosts.But what does this have to do with the sun?Does it mean that solar energy can be used to make weapons, or that something related to the sun is the nemesis of sea ghosts?

But sea ghosts are not the legendary vampires. They are still alive and kicking in the sun, squawking and waiting to eat people. They have no intention of being afraid at all, and they even like basking in the sun.

Ran Yu succeeded in delivering the news for the second time because both he and Lou Yue were deeply impressed by the sleepwalking in the study.The first time was because Ran Yu mentioned in his letters many times that he wanted to fly a kite when he went to the city.

……letter?

Lou Yue took a leave of absence from the experts of the research team who studied the matter, and hurried back to his home in the first ring road.He found a locked box in the safe in the study, opened it, took out a thick stack of flat letter paper, and read it carefully.Although Lou Yue was very familiar with the contents of these letters, after going through all the letters three or five times, he found a letter that was barely related to solar.This is the 30th letter sent by Ran Yu. It mentions a science fiction novel he likes to listen to on Minghui Radio. It is called "Solaris Star". Extra points can also be explained.

However, if this direction is correct, why did Ran Yu suddenly mention a science fiction novel?If not, what clues are missing?

The letter mentioned that Minghui Radio Station analyzed the book very well, and there were many details that Ran Yu did not discover.When Lou Yue received this letter, Minghui Radio had already closed down due to the death of the anchor.That program was very weak among the countless entertainment stations in the city, and it was assigned to be used when people in the city were busy with work during the day, and almost no one listened to it.Lou Yue came to listen to a few episodes because Ran Yu mentioned it, but when the last episode was broadcast, he was trying an important museum theft case, so he didn't have time to listen.

The radio programs in the city do not seem to be archived and filed. Even if they were, the radio warehouse headquartered on the second ring road has long been reduced to a paradise for sea ghosts, and there is no way to access them.Lou Yue suddenly remembered that if he wanted to know what the last episode of this show was about, the most direct way was of course to go to the anchor of the year, that is, the third person who shared the body with Yuan Qiong, Minghui who had almost no sense of existence .

Yuan Qiong lives in the intensive care unit of Yihuan Hospital.Before the fall of the Second Ring, he was among the first group of people rescued into the First Ring.There are more and more sea ghosts outside the city. After being injected with the reagent containing Gong Xiao's memory, Yuan Qiong's already weak body became weaker, and he would fall into a coma for most of the day.

When Lou Yue and Yan Ai rushed to the hospital, the person lying on the hospital bed was begging for a drink with the doctor.The doctor refused the patient's request. Seeing the visitor outside the door, the patient shouted, "Hey, you two, why are you visiting empty-handed? Do you know how to be polite?"

Lou Yue was still hesitant standing at the door, but after hearing this, he went straight into the ward and asked, "Xiaozhuang, can you tell Minghui to come out for a while?"

"I need something from him? I can't pass on your message in vain. You have to give me some favors." Xiao Zhuang said.

The attending physician next to him quickly said, "You can't give him alcohol, he's in an unstable condition right now."

Xiao Zhuang snorted, and writhed restlessly on the hospital bed a few times, slowly closing his eyelids as if he didn't want to talk to them.The doctor looked at the monitoring equipment next to him, said that he had fallen asleep again, and asked Lou Yue and Yan Ai to wait for a while.

The three exited the ward and waited in the corridor.Lou Yue answered several phone calls and heard Xiang An Ning and others report the current situation of defense and survivor placement in the first ring. Xiang An Ning especially told Lou Yue a strange thing, saying that Captain Ding Taitai almost died during the retreat. , was rescued by a sea ghost at a critical moment.

Lou Yue told Yan Ai about this in a low voice, and asked, "Do you think this is also related to Ran Yu?"

Yan Ai thought for a while: "It doesn't make sense. It stands to reason that Ran Yu is connected to Ran Qiu. Even if he is trying to fight for control, he should directly act on Ran Qiu."

Lou Yue didn't speak, and continued to read the detailed report from the communicator.

This ward is far away from the stairs, but the noisy sound of the outpatient area downstairs can still be heard, as if a large gathering is being held.

"Are there so many patients here every day?" Yan Ai asked, "The downstairs floor seems to be the Department of Neurology. It wasn't so busy when I was here a few months ago."

The doctor sighed: "That's right, that's when the Third Ring fell, and the number of people with sleep disorders increased sharply. Many people came to the doctor because they were found sleepwalking by their family members. They suddenly got up in the middle of the night and went out to their workplaces to continue doing The work that was not done during the day, they went back to sleep until the early hours of the morning, and woke up the next day without remembering anything. The strange thing is that their work during sleepwalking is not a mess, and it is even better than when they are serious about working during the day.”

"It's so scary." Yan Ai said.

"A large group of them go to work in the middle of the night, all dressed and expressionless. It's really weird to think about it." The doctor said, "And they couldn't be woken up during this period, and sometimes their family members noticed something strange and wanted to stop sleepwalking. It is useless to go out. The next morning, the patient does not remember what happened at night, but only vaguely remembers that he had a dream."

"The complexity of overtime work is too high, and sleepwalking can only perform simple activities," Yan Ai asked, "Have you tested them for the virus?"

Doctor: "We have received a notice from our superiors before. We have tested the puppet virus and sea ghost virus many times, and found no abnormalities. Our preliminary judgment is that it is caused by too much psychological pressure and anxiety. After all, the current situation , no one knows how long they will live, and it is common for fear and anxiety to affect the body and mind..."

Just as he was talking, there was a violent coughing sound in the ward.The doctor hurried in to check and found that the patient was awake.

Lou Yue and Yan Ai followed behind and saw that the patient was just coughing and staring blankly at the ceiling after waking up.When he saw someone coming in to see him, he shrank back under the quilt first, then nodded at them in surprise and caution, as a greeting.

The doctor knew that they were going to talk about something, checked the patient's physical condition and left, and said that if the patient had any discomfort or abnormality, he should call him in time.

Lou Yue had observed secretly for a long time before, but he rarely saw Minghui.This body belonged to Xiaozhuang, and Yuan Qiong operated the experiment. No one knew how Minghui got involved with them.

Minghui's personality is very restrained. When he was asked about his own experience, he simply said that it was a coincidence.

Lou Yue didn't have time to chat anymore, so he went straight to the topic: "Do you remember the radio show that was on before, and there was a science fiction novel "Solaris" in one episode? Can you tell us what you said at that time? "

Minghui thought for a while, and without asking the reason, he roughly summarized the content of his program at that time.After a long time, when he said these things, he was very familiar, as if he had just downloaded it: "This is a story written by a writer named Stanislav Lem a long time ago. Solaris refers to the new human race. The discovered mysterious planet, its surface is a layer of colloidal ocean, which is an overall intelligent life that humans cannot understand. The scientists in the space station discovered that under the influence of the ocean, their dead lovers and relatives would reappear in front of them. Those people People who think that they are real. Solaris can visualize people’s most secret memories, it neither actively harms people, nor can it be understood by humans, it just exists, but it is enough to cause people to panic.”

"Integral intelligent life?" Lou Yue asked.

"Yes, I remember saying on the show that this book attacked anthropocentrism, the planet is full of unknowables, and the story did not give any explanation or answer at the end, but readers can have their own thoughts on this .If there is such an unknowable life form in the universe, is it possible that it has already appeared on the earth, but we have not been aware of it. Is it possible that the ocean on the earth is also a life form of its own? Or in other words , not just the ocean, is it possible that the planet we live in is itself a huge living body, and we and other living things are just different types of cells? Or, some species form life together and exclude us? Or even Say, all things in nature can be backward compatible, and in order to communicate with us or destroy us, they can be concretized into a life form that we humans can understand, but we are still confused and ignorant when we go extinct?"

Yan Ai was silent for a while, and said, "So many unknowns, it sounds like a horror story."

"The unknown can produce not only fear, but also beauty." Minghui said, "Anyway, for me, it would be more beautiful if I could drink something. Having said so much, when will you two give me a drink? drink?"

It seemed that the person in front of him was no longer Minghui.

Lou Yue looked at Xiao Zhuang who was out of shape and said, "Do you know what we discussed just now?"

Xiao Zhuang didn't answer, as if he didn't want to chat with him if he didn't have wine.

"You should know that Shi Xun is too," Yan Ai paused, and said, "The boundary is not so obvious, it just depends on whether you want it or not."

"Forget it, forget it, it's cheap for you, I'm quite interested in your topic just now, let's chat." Xiao Zhuang said, "Aren't you talking about Zhuangzi just now? I know this well, and I'm old. "

Yan Ai stood up abruptly, startling both Xiao Zhuang and Lou Yue.

"I remember when you were unconscious last time, and when you were drunk, you were either writing Getaways on the conference table or talking about Qiwu thoughts." Yan Ai said, "Shi Xun will also do it when you have a high fever. Talking about similar things, saying that viruses are as conscious as people, that the boundaries between macro and micro do not exist, and that people themselves are viruses, I always thought she was confused."

Lou Yue: "So what do you think now?"

"Connections are common among sea ghosts. We haven't figured out what its carrier is, but classified it as a radio signal. What if the carrier is a virus, gene or other extract?" Yan Ai said suddenly: "We paid too much attention to Ran Yu before, maybe the provider of clues is not just Ran Yu."

There are still two people in the main city who are known to be related to the sea ghost virus or gene, Yuan Qiong and Shi Xun.And because Yuan Qiong was injected with more memory reagents made of modified sea ghost virus extracts, he was the one who sensed more.They themselves may be affected by the connection, but due to their human identity and standpoint, they will unconsciously reveal something to others.

It was as if something was guiding them. Maybe even Xiaozhuang and Shi Xun didn't know why, but they just said and did it.

"I have a guess." Yan Ai said, "Although it sounds like nonsense, at present, nothing else is more convincing than it."

Lou Yue: "I may agree with you. Ran Yu was right that day, it is indeed 'it'."

Yan Ai nodded.

Although it is hard to believe, if this guess is correct, then the clues revealed by many big and small things that happened before can be matched.All kinds of oddities can be explained.

The cult belief spread by Gong Xiao and the worship of sea ghosts, he told the believers that people should break the boundary and integrate into one; in the miracle that Gong Xiao experienced as relayed by Yuan Qiong, everyone is intimate and feels interconnected ; every time Xiaozhuang appeared, he talked about "free and unrestricted things", intending to show that all things are one, and there is no fundamental distinction; The sea ghost said "it"; Captain Ding said he was rescued by a sea ghost, but it was clear that there was only one sea ghost that Ran Yu was connected to...

It turns out that the frustrated scientific researchers have been ignoring the most basic and fundamental question: What exactly is a sea ghost?

What the hell is a sea ghost.Answering this question may be a hundred times more difficult than answering "what is a human being?"

Human beings have always been preconceived to measure the units of measurement of sea ghosts from the perspective of human-like individuals, but in fact they may not be individual and independent, and their existence is like cells in an individual.

In other words, all these terrifying monsters, thousands upon thousands, overwhelming—compose "one" sea ghost together.

The author has something to say:

"Solaris", a science fiction novel by Stanislav Lem, is very good.The content of the book is very rich, and the theme has nothing to do with this article. I am not good at generalization and analysis, so I just use it to promote a plot.If you are interested, you can go to Kangkang Original Book
