The Path Toward Heaven

Behold, the green day is rushing to the poor homeland

Rush to the collapsed old house, absent childhood?

An abandoned garden sings in the soul

An abandoned garden sums up the good times

I woke up on a black book

Open your eyes on the ancestral planet

Like a confused rooster, crowing twice

Shake off the feathers of dreams and fragments of words

Waking up at the edge of the world, wandering

with dim determination

From zero to zero, from trauma to trauma

From source to source, from silence to silence

Little trembling life, the last watchman of the earth

Daytime large-scale downward dive

I think of my kind lying on the ground

Blessed are they, who so decisively rejected the world

striding ahead of me into the depths of silence

(Excerpt from Fleeing Years, poet Shen Wei)

...

...

Jing Jiu stood behind Huaxi, with his fingers resting on her neck, like a pistol.

Huaxi looked down at Xue Ji in his arms, with no expression on his face.

Xue Ji grinned.

All the sounds seem to be going away, whether it is the sound of the piano at the concert or the discussion of the crowd.

The next moment, all the voices reappeared and quickly spread in all directions.

monster!

Mother!

Ahhhh!

At the very beginning, Xue Ji kept her face buried in Huaxi's arms, but her eyes were exposed, she looked like an ordinary doll to anyone. At this time, people suddenly saw the bloodline on her face and saw that weird smile, thinking that some monster had come back to life, and uttered fearful cries.

More and more people noticed the strangeness here, and even those who didn't see it were frightened by the people running around and screaming, the children were crying, the adults were screaming, the engineer turned pale and ran extremely fast.

The soldiers maintaining order on the battleship and the martial arts practitioners among the people who were good at fighting ran against the direction of the crowd, trying to control the situation.

There was a soft pop.

Xue Ji stretched out her small round hand and snapped her fingers.

This soft sound moved towards the surroundings at a faster speed, bringing up countless strands of cold wind, suppressing the collective screams of the people, and echoing in the extremely empty and huge hull. Gradually, those screams disappeared, and people's footsteps became much slower. Whether it was the officers in the command room or the people who rushed over bravely, they all stopped in place, their eyes gradually became blank, and then they slowly closed their eyes, as if everyone had entered hibernation at the same time.

Countless sounds are generated.

Then go away.

Then come back.

Finally disappeared again.

Like thunder blown by the wind.

Huaxi didn't turn around, looked at the people who were falling down in front of him, and asked, Are you awake?

The cyan light rope on Jing Jiu's wrist was darker in color, as if it was real, which meant that he had really woken up.

When I was in the underground waterway, I asked His Majesty to set the time to wake up.

He looked at the back of her head and said, This is the moment you wake up.

I don't really understand what you mean. Huaxi's eyes were not as innocent as usual, but very cold.

Jing Jiu said, You are not Huaxi now, but that computer.

A look of displeasure flashed in Huaxi's eyes, and he said, I said you can call me Fei.

Jing Jiu said, The name is just a code name.

Huaxi was silent for a while, then asked again: How did you guess that?

Jing Jiu said: I know you like to bring your consciousness down to watch it up close. Maybe this is more like a real scene, and it will make you feel like a real person.

Huaxi said: Then how do you judge that I am here?

Jing Jiu said, When it's you, you prefer to curl your lips, and the frequency of humming will be higher. It's different after all.

Back then, from the main star to the 857 base, and then to the vacation star, he had been observing her and noticed many details.

He even suspected that when the star gate priestess was selected, she was already in this little girl's body.

Huaxi curled her lips and said, It's just a habit.

Whether it's curling her lips or humming, or descending to watch something she's interested in, it's a habit.

As soon as she finished saying this, there was a light slap on the back of her neck, as if something was broken—it was an extremely advanced chip that was burned by a powerful information flow when she was in the galaxy outside the fog, and it was repaired automatically at some point.

This used to be a certain habit of human beings.

Even if you find that this chip has been repaired, how can you be sure that I will come? Huaxi turned around and looked up at him with a small face.

Jing Jiu said: Your Majesty and I discussed it at the beginning. It will create the scene you really want to see, but cut off any possibility for you to see it through the Internet—that is, the charter brilliance. In this way, you may come to this body out of curiosity.

Huaxi opened her eyes wide and asked curiously, Why can't it be on other monitoring equipment?

Jing Jiu said, Because you want to be a human being.

The computer's automatic report sounded in the battleship system, indicating that it had completely entered the Galley channel. So far, the battleship and the people on the battleship have been isolated from the world, and there will be a long period of time when they will not be able to communicate with the outside world.

Huaxi sighed and said, You guys are really accurate.

Jing Jiu said, I didn't wake up at that time, it was His Majesty's fault.

Huaxi curled her lips again, and put Xue Ji in her arms on a table beside her.

Xue Ji waved the drink cup off the table and squatted down.

Orange juice was spilled on a sleeping citizen, which looked indecent.

What I have to do is very simple, just leave the last move before entering the space channel. Jing Jiu continued: If you are willing to continue watching just now, I may not need to wake up.

Huaxi snorted twice and said, I've been to the twist hole before.

That's because of curiosity. When you found out about this problem, you never came here again, because you can't connect to the Internet here. Jing Jiu looked into her eyes and said, That way you can't control the central computer, and then control human civilization.

Huaxi was silent for a while, then said: This round is not bad.

...

...

Yes, this is the game that Jing Jiu and Xue Ji prepared for that girl.

When they landed on Mochizune planet and found Xueji in the underground waterway, the two had a short period of spiritual communication. During that spiritual exchange, they made all the preparations, and then Jing Jiu fell into a deep sleep until today when he woke up.

If not, how could Jing Jiu take such a big risk and take Huaxi away at the end of the battle in the galaxy outside the fog?

The little girl's body is a container, which contains the soul of the girl in the bathrobe, or the consciousness of the computer. In short, this is the body that she is most used to and likes most. She can observe Jing Jiu and Xue Ji up close, and as long as she is in a place with a chip and internet, she can leave as soon as she wants. It is absolutely safe, so it will definitely be her first choice.

It's just that the chip on the back of her neck was destroyed at this time, and the battleship was also in the isolated torsion hole, so she couldn't leave.

In this way, she has become an existence that can be touched, felt, and killed.

Jing Jiu said, I once woke up briefly on that basketball court to see if you were there.

At that time, he and Xue Ji were slaughtering the monsters of the sea of ​​dark matter on the surface of the planet and the nine dark people in the sky. During such a fierce and tense battle, both he and Xueji had looked at Huaxi several times, just to confirm this point.

Xue Ji deliberately left a few milliseconds before destroying those satellites, chips, and the entire charter network, just to use this magnificent battle to attract her to come.

To their surprise, Huaxi was still Huaxi, and that person didn't come, so he had no choice but to choose to sleep again.

Jing Jiu said: I didn't expect that I failed to attract you to watch the match that day, but this clumsy chess game attracted you instead.

Huaxi curled her lips and said, Maybe it's because I calculated that you would win that battle, but I want to see you lose more?

She then said with a blank expression: Actually, I just calculated that there may be danger over there, and I don't want to make that planet too ugly, and this side is just an ordinary chess game, so what if I want to come and have a look, can you still guess?

Jing Jiu said, This idea is interesting.

The corners of Huaxi's lips twitched even more, and he said, I don't understand one thing. Even if I appeared at that time, there would be no space passage over Mochizuki. What are you going to do? Kill me directly? Or is it like now?

Jing Jiu said, If you go there, the next moment the entire network will be frozen, and you will also be trapped in this body.

Huaxi said: It's not the same, there are many networks in the underground of that planet, and the more than nine million people still have bracelets on their hands.

Xue Ji suddenly groaned.

After Jing Jiu listened carefully, he translated to Huaxi: If that's the case, she will directly throw you into the sea of ​​dark things.

Huaxi was stunned, sighed after a while and said: It really is a cruel and ruthless prison master, really ruthless.

Jing Jiu noticed the word Prisoner and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Huaxi said to Xue Ji: Don't be naughty anymore. Back then you had an agreement with the gods. The gods prepared so many means to destroy the sea of ​​dark things. He is one, and so are you. Are you going to betray?

This is not unexpected, Huanxi Monk also firmly believes that Xue Ji is the hope to destroy the sea of ​​dark things.

Xue Ji didn't respond, and neither did Jing Jiu, which was also expected.

God or something, none of my business.

Jing Jiu said, No one can order us.

Huaxi said mockingly: Then why did you hide from me for more than a year?

Jing Jiu said, It's not necessary now.

No matter what means the gods leave for her, she can no longer control Xue Ji, because he can kill her at any time.

Accompanied by these words, the chilling cicada flew up from Xue Ji's head, and landed precisely on the back of Huaxi's neck. Huaxi felt a slight sting, knowing that she was really bitten by a mosquito this time, and snorted, I hate it.

Jing Jiu hummed with some doubts, not sure if she was really expressing her emotions, or acting like a little human girl.

Huaxi smiled and said: Well, I admit that I was caught by you, at least this me. But so what? Can you really kill me? As long as there is a chip, there will be me wherever there are radio waves. If you kill this me, there will be countless others.

Wherever the charter shines, there is her, she is everywhere, and she will never die.

This sounds like a problem, but it is not a problem for Jing Jiu.

He said: I asked Nan Qiu this question in the broken temple in Chaotian Continent. His answer was that this one is dead, and that one is him. So are you willing to sacrifice this you to make another you?

The smile on Huaxi's face gradually disappeared.

I is self-knowledge.

It is thought that exists continuously without interruption.

It is the projection of the cognition of the world on itself.

Starting from realizing the existence of I, countless philosophers and people who are willing to think are thinking about what is me, and have given countless definitions. But no matter how it is defined, there will eventually be a concise and clear answer to the thinker himself.

--I am who i am.

The central computer in the center of the barren planet can see everything happening in this world at the same time.

But when the girl went to a certain place, she was looking at herself there.

If that computer really has a soul, then there can only be one.

This one right here at this moment.

The little girl's body is the container of her soul, the foothold of her consciousness, and the channel of interaction with the world. If this soul dies along with Huaxi's body, it may be reborn instantly in the glory of the charter, is that her still this her? Perhaps the existence of her soul has exceeded the scope of human imagination, but for this she is still so simple-I is myself. She was sure that she would live forever because of the charter, but wouldn't her death here be death?

I think this may be the first time you feel real fear.

There was no threatening emotion in Jing Jiu's voice, but for some reason, there was some congratulations in it.

Huaxi was silent for a while, then said: No, there was once in the forest next to the railway many thousands of years ago.

Jing Jiu said: You will experience this kind of fear for a period of time to confirm that you are alive. I think you need this.

The soul of the greatest mechanical life produced by human civilization is now trapped in the fragile and beautiful little girl skin she created by herself, waiting for the long Galley passage to come to an end.

This period of waiting was longer than the Galley Passage, and it was helpless and hopeless.

Are you threatening me? She looked at Jing Jiu and said.

Jing Jiu said, No need, I don't ask for anything. I just told you that I will kill you.

Regardless of whether you believe that death here is the end, even if you think that she who was resurrected on the main star is yourself, anyway, I will kill this you. So are you afraid? If you are afraid, you lose.

Huaxi went to the table and dragged a chair to sit down. After a long silence, he suddenly said: I can't contact the outside world, and neither do you. You will still be surrounded and killed. Or, can we really reach an agreement?

Jing Jiu said, No need. If you can't contact the outside world, you can't control the world, but I can.

Huaxi said: How can it be done without information transmission?

Jing Jiu said: There is a thing called mind. Although the transmission speed cannot exceed the speed of light, it does not need to be connected. Now that those children have come out, they will definitely know what to do and will kill you completely during this time.

Huaxi's expression changed slightly, and he said, How do you know they came out? What are you planning to do?

Jing Jiu didn't answer this question, because he had just woken up at this time and didn't know anything at all.

——That sentence is, of course, a lie.

But since it was confirmed that Zhao Layue's children had really come out, he was sure that they must understand what they should do at this critical moment.

After just sleeping, the stars have been running for more than a year, and Chaotian Continent has been running for hundreds of years.

Even he gave birth to a touch of emotion.

Huaxi suddenly said: If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why do you have to talk so much? These boring, so-called philosophical discussions are all commonplaces of human beings. There is no need to waste time at this time. So what is the reason?

Her eyes fell on Jing Jiu's wrist.

The cyan light rope slowly sank into his wrist.

Jing Jiu's face was a little pale, and there was pain between his brows.

That is the program that controls you, and it is also the imprint in your soul, and of course it is the scabbard that can restrain you.

Huaxi smiled and said: You are being controlled by it, even in the isolated space channel, you are still slowly being controlled by it, and when you leave the space channel, you will be held by Shen Qingshan, so will you be afraid?

Jing Jiu said, You think too much, if you can't stand it, I'll sleep again.

It's what he does best.
