Survival Paradox [Infinite]

Bai Yueguang's expression froze instantly, and after a long time, he turned his face to Wei Chi inch by inch, his face was pale and haggard, like a ghost: "You don't believe what I said?"

Wei Chi said frankly: "It's hard to completely believe in a moment."

Bai Yueguang nodded mechanically, and asked, "Do you still want to listen to that story?"

"Tell me." Wei Chi said, "I haven't made an appearance yet."

"My original name was not Bai Yueguang, but I changed my name after the new century, because I always heard people say 'white moonlight, cinnabar mole'. It just so happened that Miao Guang's name also had the word 'light' in it. At that time, I had already 'transmigrated' 'After entering five worlds, I don't know where the original universe is, but in each world, I can say that I have achieved success. In fact, as long as I let go of all these, I can easily live a so-called 'good life'. "Bai Yueguang lowered his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Actually... I have been shaken too. There is no one who can't be shaken in the world, right? I changed this name to remind myself all the time——remember Miao Guang, remember the mistakes I made. Remember what you should do, and never forgive yourself...Maybe someone can forgive yourself, but I can't do it, at least I don't want to...Is it wrong to think so?"

Wei Chi declined to comment.

Bai Yueguang continued: "We know that there are many parallel universes in this world..."

"No, we don't know." Wei Chi emphasized, "It's just a theory, and your one-sided opinion."

"You are very rigorous." Bai Yueguang actually praised him, "Although you wrote such a thesis."

Wei Chi now knows which paper Bai Yueguang is referring to, which is the one he won the championship in the World Youth Biological Programming Contest in Los Angeles when he was 15 years old - "Knocking on the World's Walls - An Observation Report on Another World" ".

From today's point of view, that was really his boyhood whimsy - observing himself in parallel universes.

His thought at that time was very simple, it was a kind of pure curiosity, wanting to know what he was doing in another world.

In fact, in his opinion today, the philosophical and ethical significance of that experiment is even greater than the significance of scientific research.

The experiment was indeed unsuccessful and was soon shelved.

"After 'disconnecting' with other worlds, I began to look for new methods." Bai Yueguang said, "Then, I read your paper."

"I realize that you are right." Bai Yueguang became excited again, "We don't need to carry out material 'jump' or 'replacement', but only consciously! Because consciousness is not limited by time and space!"

"What I've worked so hard for all my life has been achieved by you, Wei Chi." Bai Yueguang paused, and added, "Oh, it's not you in this world."

Wei Chi suddenly understood: "You mean..."

"These...excellent and wonderful worlds with outstanding imagination are this converter!" Bai Yueguang said loudly, "It can allow our spirit to go to other worlds!"

Wei Chi felt himself breaking out in a cold sweat all of a sudden.

He thought of those who died and the changes after waking up - Zhou Yingchun, Yuan Qi, Hu Tianqi, Akui, Gao Mingxuan's wife, Liu Zhiyuan...

He murmured: "You mean...the consciousness of those who died were replaced by themselves in the parallel world?"

In this case... can it be explained?

He thought, but his head hurt.

Bai Yueguang said: "I think 'death' is the condition for this conversion."

"Wait...wait...let me think about it." Wei Chi tried hard to judge, "No...then, how to explain Hu Tianqi's 'dream'?"

"This conversion, I think, is a 'quantum replacement' in the field of consciousness." Bai Yueguang said, "Classical laws of physics cannot explain the existence and generation of consciousness, and our scientific community has not yet been able to define what 'consciousness' is, but What if you in another world break through this problem?"

"Now some scientists believe that consciousness is the product of quantum entanglement and superposition, and I have been dealing with quantum energy all my life. If you want to talk about Hu Tianqi's 'dream', to be honest, that is not the result I expected." Bai Yueguang said, "I have been paying attention to you just because I have read your thesis. After 'lost contact' with other worlds, I am looking forward to your research. I later became a member of the 'Special Research Department' Consultants, also to facilitate the investigation of such incidents."

"And on March 3 this year, which is the day when the 'City Second Hospital World' came, we received a report of abnormal conditions from NASA. That night, I noticed that a person began to frequently search for your name and the game in Los Angeles. , that is Hu Tianqi."

"My intuition told me that something happened. I used the authority of the 'Special Investigation Department' to secretly bring him into the research institute that night, activated the equipment I used to 'travel' back then, and performed a 'quantum shield' on him. ’, intending to study the phenomenon on him, but unfortunately, at that time, I found nothing. Of course, he did not remember this passage, and the commissioner sent him home early in the morning, and he still went to school normally the next day.”

"Although it wasn't my goal at the beginning, I think it was my intervention that allowed him to glimpse what happened in another world line in his dream."

Wei Chi understood, but still found it ridiculous: "But...but...why?"

Bai Yueguang: "Why? I've said it many times, to find Miao..."

"No." Wei Chi said, "I mean... If, really, another 'me' did it, it would be... why?"

"Well, I think you already have the answer, and that's what I want to remind you." Bai Yueguang said, "What if another 'Wei Chi' loses his 'Miao Guang' like me?"

Wei Chi felt his heart was falling infinitely downwards.

"Yes." Bai Yueguang looked into his eyes and said, "Xiao Ji."

"Actually, you already know, right? This Ji Jingzhe is not the Ji Jingzhe of this world at all." Bai Yueguang's face was as pale as a ghost under the moonlight, his old and withered skin was like a mask that was scribbled on, Wei Chi looked at his mouth, Watching him say these words word by word, "Just like me, not me in this world."

Wei Chi felt that his heart finally fell to the ground and was shattered.

He blurted out: "Impossible!"

Bai Yueguang asked: "How did he explain those five years to you?"

Wei Chi didn't answer.

Bai Yueguang continued to ask: "Haven't you ever doubted it? Why did the real world only pass for a moment when you entered these 'worlds', but five years passed for his time?"

Wei Chi said palely, "Maybe... it's technological progress."

Bai Yueguang shook his head: "Here, I have to reiterate my experience and the theory I believe in - the existence of parallel universes."

"Based on this, I think Xiao Ji, like me, traveled through time and space during those five years before coming to this world."

Wei Chi said: "He has no reason to lie to me."

Bai Yueguang asked back, "So do you accept his explanation?"

Wei Chi hugged his head, recalling painfully.

His headache felt like it was about to burst.

He recalled every detail and every move of Ji Jingzhe after he came back, and remembered his dodges, prevarications and explanations... Those explanations really couldn't stand scrutiny, they were so weak that they seemed to be floating in the air.

Moreover, his skeleton form... what's going on?

A car accident...he said it was a car accident...

...what's wrong with the car accident?

In the world of subway stations, I seem to have been to "another home" briefly, and there is a showcase full of photos of 15-year-old Ji Jingzhe...

It seems... a world without Ji Jingzhe...

Finally, he thought of Ji Jingzhe's eyes again.

On the clock tower, on the plane, in the subway station... in many, many moments that he may not have noticed.

Ji Jingzhe looked at him quietly, his bodies were pressed tightly together, but that look always made people feel lonely and far away...

Why...why did you look at him with such sad eyes?

What is it...why...

Wei Chi couldn't take it anymore, he had a headache and knelt on the ground, trembling all over his body: "Why...why did you tell me this?"

Bai Yueguang laughed again: "No matter what, he is my beloved apprentice... He has traveled so many worlds to find you. Before I leave, I should help him no matter what?"

Wei Chi raised his head reluctantly, seeing Bai Yueguang's face, his vision was already blurred, and he could only vaguely feel... Bai Yueguang's smile didn't seem to be a kind expression.

"Wei Chi, you look a lot like when I was young. I knew it the first time I saw you."

Suddenly, a ray of light pierced the sea level, and the sun showed a little corner.

Bai Yueguang looked at the sun and murmured: "It's almost dawn..."

He turned his head again, and said to Weichi: "Actually, seven hours before the real world, at the same time as you were performing the mission of 'Science and Technology Museum World', I received a new abnormal situation report from NASA. The news about it has been blocked, and I will come to the art museum to find you in person.”

"Because I know that with you, you can enter 'this kind of world.' As it turns out, it does."

"Wei Chi, it's already a fact that 'he' wants to replace you." Bai Yueguang's figure was gradually engulfed by brighter and brighter light, "I hope you all get ready."

"I haven't found Miao Guang yet, I can't stop here yet."

Bai Yueguang gave a final laugh, vaguely resembling the unrestrained and refined old gentleman that Wei Chi was familiar with.

His figure appeared very tall in the backlight, like a god: "I'm going to continue traveling, Wei Chi, wish us all good luck!"

Wei Chi wanted to pull him, and tried to stand up, but he fell like a shit when he got up, and could only watch Bai Yueguang open his hands, and in the dazzling light, he jumped backwards off the cliff.

When the sun rises, Wei Chi is unconscious.

Later, the cage on "Wei Renjie" turned into a light door. Wei Chi's eyes were stung by the light, and he woke up suddenly, set up Shuoshu, and walked in.
