Survival Paradox [Infinite]

Wei Chi: "Professor Bai."

He looked at the old man in front of him without any shock in his heart. This Professor Bai was exactly what he imagined, without the slightest difference.

I don't know if Bai Yueguang has the same feelings as him, looked at him very calmly, nodded and said: "Well, are you here to find me?"

Wei Chi: "Yes."

Bai Yueguang turned around and walked in: "Then let's go, talk to my office."

He obviously came out of the teaching building just now, but now he went back directly, as if he really just came out to pick up Wei Chi.

Wei Chi asked, "Can I wait for my brother?"

Bai Yueguang didn't look back: "You can send him the office number - 703. Don't worry, our school's office is easy to find."

Wei Chi sent the office number to Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan replied with ok, and then sent another message: [His name is Yuan Qi, he is a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, I feel that the one in my mind who can draw...is him]

Wei Chi replied: [Then let's go together]

Wei Chi followed Bai Yueguang to the office. This is a very ordinary faculty office, except for some small decorations, it is no different from Wei Chi's tutor's office.

Bai Yueguang sat behind the desk, pointed to the chair opposite the desk, and said, "Sit."

Wei Chi sat down.

Bai Yueguang brewed a pot of tea on the Kung Fu tea set, and the fragrance of the tea was overflowing. Wei Chi realized in an instant that he had smelled this smell. It was Ji Jingzhe who brewed it for him... where... where?

Bai Yueguang put the cup in front of him and said, "What do you want from me?"

Wei Chi picked up the cup of tea and sniffed it: "Is this Yunnan pumpkin?"

Bai Yueguang took a sip and praised him: "You know tea?"

Wei Chi said: "Ji Jingzhe soaked me before."

Bai Yueguang's hands paused, and soon returned to normal. He drank two more cups and said, "Xiao Ji...it's a pity."

Wei Chi: "Where is the pity?"

Bai Yueguang glanced at him and said, "He wasn't last winter..."

Wei Chi: "What's wrong?"

Bai Yueguang was a little confused, as if he didn't know why he asked, but he still answered: "...Did you commit suicide?"

Wei Chi: "Why did he commit suicide?"

Bai Yueguang: "I don't know about this."

Wei Chi: "But you are his mentor."

Bai Yueguang squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while, but Wei Chi asked again before he could speak, "Did you attend his funeral?"

Bai Yueguang paused for a while, then said: "I was not in China at that time... I didn't catch up."

"That's weird." Wei Chi said, "But you are in the photo at his funeral."

Bai Yueguang opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"Professor Bai." Wei Chi said, "I know that you, like me, did not come from this world. I need your help, and I want to go back."

Bai Yueguang squinted his eyes and looked at him. The silence lasted for a few minutes. Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Wei Yuan came in with that little tail, and stood at the door for a while, Bai Yueguang pointed to the two empty seats next to Wei Chi, then pointed to the folding chair leaning against the wall, and said, "Come and sit."

Wei Yuan moved two chairs over and sat next to Wei Chi with Xiao Wei.

Wei Yuan asked Wei Chi: "Where did you talk?"

Wei Chi said to Bai Yueguang: "Professor, this is my younger brother Wei Yuan, this is Yuan Qi, we all need your help."

Bai Yueguang looked at them for a while, sighed, and said, "Yes."

Wei Chi's heart finally let go.

He is actually fooled.

Before coming to Bai Yueguang, the only information he had was——Bai Yueguang often met Ji Jingzhe in England, the two seemed to be good friends who had crossed ages, and, some fragments of the dream, there seemed to be a picture, Ji Jingzhe was introducing him: "This is my mentor, Bai Yueguang."

This is what Wei Chi felt was wrong before meeting Bai Yueguang——Ji Jingzhe studied "wine making" abroad, but Bai Yueguang is a professor of physics. What kind of relationship between "mentor" and "student" are they?

After meeting, this feeling of something wrong became more distinct—maybe it was because of Bai Yueguang's unusually calm attitude, or maybe it was because of that cup of Yunnan pumpkin.

He couldn't tell what it was like, but something was awakened by the olfactory memory.

All of this made him suddenly have an idea - could this Professor Bai come from the same world as them?

If Bai Yueguang really came from a different world, what would he do when he woke up in this new world?

He will start to observe from his own side, and observe how this world is different from the original world.After that, he needs to decide his position, whether to stay in this world or find a way to go back.

If he chooses to stay, then he will modify his rhetoric to fit into this world.

If he chooses to go back, then he will delve into and explore these differences and ally with people who also feel wrong.

And then the quest began—

Wei Chi is sure that Ji Jingzhe's death is the difference between the two worlds, and Bai Yueguang is also someone who is familiar with Ji Jingzhe, so Bai Yueguang will definitely react to "Ji Jingzhe's death".

His reaction was—

"Xiao Ji...it's a pity."

"He wasn't last winter..."

"Did you commit suicide?"

- Correction.

But as long as it is a revision, it is not a fact that actually happened.

As long as it is not true, it will not cover everything, and there must be loopholes.

Bai Yueguang corrected the time of Ji Jingzhe's death based on the "facts" of this world, but he did not detail the series of details caused by this "death".

"Did you go to his funeral?"

"I was not in China at that time... I didn't catch up."

"But you were in the picture at his funeral."

Bai Yueguang didn't pay attention to the details, and Wei Chi actually didn't have time to make a complete plan—in fact, this conversation can be called a "fraudulent confession".

— no pictures at all.

— not even a funeral.

——After Ji Jingzhe committed suicide, there was no funeral at all.

But this is enough to prove that Bai Yueguang lied.

And then counter-evidence-there must be some reason that caused him to choose to lie.

And the most likely reason for this is that he also came from another world.

Bai Yueguang took a sip of tea, put it down slowly, looked at him, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Wei Chi was stunned.

He didn't know how the conversation was going.

Because in fact, what he knew was far less than what Bai Yueguang thought he knew.If Bai Yueguang knew this, he wondered if Bai Yueguang would help him.

Every word he said now needs to be cautious.

"Equipment, Professor." Wei Yuan said suddenly, "We need your equipment."

Bai Yueguang turned to Wei Yuan, but Wei Yuan looked at him openly.

After a while, Bai Yueguang sighed again, and there was a flickering light in his eyes. In an instant, he seemed to be several years old again: "Have you ever thought that maybe... losing your memory will be a big thing for you all?" kind of protection?"

He turned to Wei Chi: "These are almost the same two worlds... Everything you have in that world will also be available here. It doesn't really matter whether you go back or not." He said, "Too persistent is sometimes not What a good thing...maybe—maybe you will fall into some kind of grand, hopeless...secret. Is that okay?"

"It's different. It's completely different." Wei Chi said, "Because this is a world without Ji Jingzhe."

"Even if this secret is not something you can bear?" Bai Yueguang asked, "Even if this secret is about the world, all human beings, and the end of the universe... After knowing this secret, you will find that the story between you and Ji Jingzhe, In this secret, insignificant, insignificant... You will find that your life is not worth mentioning, it is simply a drop in the ocean, dust in the air, and the rest of your life will be shrouded in fear... Is it okay?"

Wei Chi looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled.

In this world, the rarer things are, the more precious they are. Wei Chi's heartfelt smile generally falls into this category—like spring flowers blooming in the cold pool, they are fleeting and shocking.

"You may have got something wrong," he said, "I'm very different from you—I don't care about humans, I don't care about the universe, I care about things..." He took out a small Gap, "It's just a little bit."

"If the universe is going to be destroyed, let it be destroyed."

"If the stars are going to fall, let them fall."

"But if I want something that can only be reached by breaking the world—then I'm going to break it."

"I'm not a scholar with the world in mind." He emphasized, "From the beginning to the end, I was just a selfish and boring ordinary human being."

Bai Yueguang exhaled a long breath, he almost forgot to breathe just now because of the light in Wei Chi's eyes.He turned to Wei Yuan and Yuan Qi, and asked, "Are you too?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Qi nodded firmly a second or two earlier than Wei Yuan.

Bai Yueguang thought for a while, stood up, walked out the door, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

After Bai Yueguang went out, Wei Chi leaned back on the chair as if exhausted, and asked Wei Yuan, "How do you know he has equipment?"

"No?" Wei Yuan was also surprised, "Isn't he a professor of physics, he must have equipment."

Wei Chi gave him a thumbs up and praised him: "Spirit."

"Brother Chi..." Yuan Qi blurted out, "...Long time no see."

Wei Chi looked at him, although he didn't remember much, but he felt kind in his heart, and said, "Long time no see, Yuan Qi."

Bai Yueguang suddenly opened the door and greeted the three of them: "Let's go, follow me."

Yuan Qi asked: "Where are you going?"

Bai Yueguang: "Don't you need to use equipment? There is no equipment here."

The three of them followed Bai Yueguang out of the school gate, and a black military license plate car was parked on the side of the road.

All four of them went up. After going up, Wei Chi and the others were blindfolded, and they were not untied until they reached the destination.

They obviously haven't been in the car for a long time, and the distance must not be far away, but the building in front of them is not in any of their memories of the city.It was probably built temporarily, and it looked like a factory building.

Bai Yueguang led them in through a small door, and they went through no less than five inspections before finally entering Bai Yueguang's laboratory.

"Go." Bai Yueguang pointed to a capsule-like thing standing in the middle of the laboratory, "Who will go first?"

"...Just go like this?" Wei Yuan was a little confused, "Isn't it a bit sloppy?"

Bai Yueguang: "Maybe you still have one last chance to repent."

Wei Chi said, "I go first."

Wei Yuan and Yuan Qi said at the same time: "Brother!" "Brother Chi!"

Wei Chi put his palm down to reassure them, and said to Bai Yueguang, "Professor, you already know everything, right?"

Bai Yueguang has already started to operate on the console: "How do you say?"

"You planned to help us." Wei Chi said, "You didn't ask us 'what kind of equipment', and you just made three cups of tea."

"You are very contradictory, professor." Wei Chi said, "You seem to want us to go back, but you don't."

Bai Yueguang paused for a moment, then smiled abruptly, and said, "I said you are very similar to me, Wei Chi."

He pressed the last key, and the capsule opened.

"Go ahead," he said, "the truth you want."

Wei was late and couldn't forget the weird smile on the corner of Bai Yueguang's mouth that he saw from the gap in the slowly closing door of the capsule cabin.
