Chapter 3209 Hundred Years Prisoner

"Don't, don't pack, don't pack, I'm really actively moving closer to the organization!"

Zhang Daniu said anxiously, "Of course I cooperate, but if he really went to our 'Apocalypse Organization' and met our 'Prophet', wouldn't he be so cruel to chop me up and slice me up for research?" ?”

"You worry too much, Mr. Niu."

The hunter said, "First, the ability of the 'Prophet' is not as simple as scanning layers by layers of polymers, he wants to obtain the information deep in your soul, he does not need 'slicing' so bloody and brutal.

"Second, you will soon understand that in the world of reincarnation, even if this life is sliced ​​for research, it's no big deal."

"no--"

Zhang Daniu screamed, "I don't understand what 'it's no big deal to be sliced ​​and studied'!"

"Don't be impatient, in order to let you cooperate as much as possible, I have been granted certain authority to tell you some truths about this world."

The hunter pondered, "Anyway, the mice and bugs from the Ark Foundation haven't come yet, so I can briefly introduce you to the 'Reincarnation World'."

Li Yao was eavesdropping under the overpass, and when he heard this, he couldn't help being shocked.

It turned out that the hunter had long expected that the people of the Ark Foundation would find this place. I am afraid that this is a trap specially set by him. "Catch them all.

On the other hand, the hunter has thrown out the brand new concept of "Reincarnation World". It sounds like the point is coming!

"Mr. Niu, you should be convinced by now that there are superpowers in the world—the awakened ones, right?"

But the hunter said calmly, "Aren't you curious about what happened to the so-called Awakened, and what is the fundamental contradiction between the two major Awakened organizations—"Ark" and "Apocalypse"?"

"I, I never thought about it. It's better to think less about such a dangerous thing."

Zhang Daniu said, "However, I have seen some superhero-themed movies, and the superpowers in them are also divided into two groups. One group insists on helping human beings, controls their own abilities, and integrates themselves into the country and society. Those with abilities think that they should surpass human beings and even all things, and become the masters of the world— come to think of it, your 'Apocalypse' and 'Ark' are similar, right?"

"Then you are wrong, our differences are far more than that simple."

Hunter said, "As I said just now, our 'Apocalypse Organization' has indeed wiped out many novelists, cartoonists, film and game producers, and even physicists and astronomers. In the process, we have also hurt innocent people." , causing hundreds or even thousands of casualties—but we still insist that what we did was not 'immoral', let alone 'inhumane', do you want to know why?"

"Why?"

Zhang Daniu couldn't help asking.

This question was also what Li Yao wanted to ask.

"If there is only one life, and people cannot be resurrected after death, then depriving others of their lives is indeed an unforgivable crime."

The hunter said, "But think about it, if a person has one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand or even infinite lives, as soon as the time comes, no matter how miserable the death is, the person can be resurrected and return to his childhood." Even the embryonic stage, so what is it to deprive him of one of his infinite lives?"

"this--"

Zhang Daniu was stunned for a long time, and said, "I don't understand, what is 'infinite life' and what is 'resurrection of the dead, return to childhood and embryonic stage'?"

"This question is very troublesome to explain. It's a bit like a madman's raving. Fortunately, there have been many 'observers' who have perceived the truth from different angles, and the 'Reincarnation World' is roughly in their presented in artistic creation.”

The hunter said, "Mr. Niu, I don't know if you have seen a novel or movie in which the protagonist is imprisoned on the same day for a long time. Assuming today is April 1st, every day the protagonist spends is On April 1st, he fell asleep on the night of April 1st, and woke up suddenly on the morning of April 1st. Except for himself, all the people and things around him had happened countless times, just like that Going round and round, if you don't find the key, you will never be able to break the cycle of time, and you will always live on April 1st."

"This, I have seen it."

Zhang Daniu said, "This kind of 'time loop' is a relatively common theme in science fiction works, right? I remember that there is a famous science fiction writer in our country, Mr. Liu Wenli, who wrote a classic of this type." Make "A Prisoner for a Day", by the way, I also watched a movie called "Day of the Mole", which is almost the same meaning, oh, there are some movies, "Edge of Tomorrow", "Source Code", "Terror Cruise Line" ", "Happy Death Day" and so on, the details are somewhat surprising, but they are all about the time loop. The protagonist in it is like playing a super-difficult game that is constantly loading files. If you are not careful, you will fail. Fortunately, After each failure, you can 'read the record', go back to the beginning of the time point, and start over.

"Wait, what do you mean, you mean, these novels and movies are not made up, but to some extent, reflect the truth of our world?"

"It's very good of you to understand that."

The hunter said unhurriedly, "Then, if I tell you, our world - the azure planet under our feet and the 'spirit of all things' living on this planet, as if you just mentioned these Like the protagonist in the work, he is trapped in a certain section of the timeline, a sad prisoner in an infinite reincarnation 'time prison', presumably, you will not be too surprised?"

"What!"

Zhang Daniu blurted out, "This is impossible!"

Li Yao at the bottom of the overpass was also dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

However, some kind of jumping ripples in the depths of his brain unlocked more fragments of memory, clearly presenting the scene of the previous life, the previous life, and the previous life in front of him.

The world is a labyrinth of reincarnation, a cage of time.

They are all strangers in the labyrinth, prisoners of death in the cage.

"I can understand your reaction, Teacher Niu, it is indeed a hundred times more difficult to accept that the lovely earth under our feet is a time prison with infinite reincarnation than to accept 'ordinary' superpowers - fireballs, electric arcs, etc., believe me Believe it or not, I'm just following the orders of the 'prophet', and simply telling you everything."

The hunter said indifferently, "Of course, it is different from those science fiction novels and movies with time looping themes - the protagonists in those works are often trapped on the same day, and cycle within a period of one or two months at most, but our earth, roughly It is from the end of the 20th century to the middle of the 21st century, from 50 to 60 years, from 60 to 70 years, and at most no more than a hundred years, an endless cycle is going on. The specific length of time depends on "this cycle". The performance of all the people on earth.

"For the sake of understanding, you can simply imagine that the 'time starting point' of our world is 1980, and all the initial conditions are input in 1980, and they will run according to certain logic and rules, roughly fifty years to In one hundred years, a large number of logical traps, rule errors and data overflows gradually appeared. In the end, when the error of information exceeds the critical range, "bang", the whole world will experience a "restart", of course it can also be called "reincarnation", and once again Go back to 1980 and repeat everything."

Zhang Daniu lost his mind when he heard it.

Li Yao also crouched under the bridge, so shocked that he couldn't breathe for a long time.

"Although it sounds unbelievable, you should have noticed some clues. Didn't that college student named 'Li Yao' tell you about some strange dreams, or what 'this life' he has mastered? Impossible skills?"

Hunter said, "Including the entire Internet, there are a large number of unaware 'awakened', unsuspectingly talking about the strange things that happened to them, and even the 'bugs' of this world, since you talked about it with Li Yao 'Ark Foundation', you can't be ignorant of these statements, can you?

"Why do some people feel so familiar when they come to a strange place? Why do some people suddenly speak a foreign language they have never learned after being in a car accident? Why do some people really remember something happened, but "in this life" Didn't it happen? Why does someone feel familiar with a skill or course for the first time and become a 'genius' in a certain field?

"The answer to all this is the time loop, infinite reincarnation, each of us has been reincarnated a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times in this endless prison, and in countless reincarnations we have played various different Characters have experienced colorful and diverse lives, and of course they have learned different languages ​​and skills-in most cases, when a "restart" or "reincarnation" begins, we should forget everything in the previous life, but mistakes and Mistakes always exist, and there are always people who will vaguely remember certain things from the last life or even... a long time ago, certain things that may not be very pleasant."

"But, hehe, I, I don't know whether I should believe it or not, but let's put the truth aside, why!"

Zhang Daniu exclaimed, "Why is there such a nonsense thing as 'time loop, infinite reincarnation', such a cycle, always stuck in decades or a hundred years, what's the point?"

"In ancient Greek mythology, Sisyphus offended the gods. In order to punish Sisyphus, the gods asked him to push a huge boulder to the top of the mountain. Because the boulder was too heavy, it would roll down the mountain before reaching the top of the mountain. All his work was wasted, so he just kept doing it over and over again."

The hunter asked, "What's the point of Sisyphus' stone?"

---------------

I would like to use this chapter to commemorate the sci-fi writer Mr. Liu Wenyang who died young. His work "One Day Prisoner" can be regarded as Lao Niu, no, Maverick is one of my sources of inspiration, and I sincerely recommend it to everyone. His work is similar to his The "Science Fiction World" of the 1990s really brought me endless fun and fantasy for the young and young Mavericks, but it's a pity, God is jealous of talents!

I wish there was reincarnation in the world, and Teacher Liu could continue to display his talents and persist in his love in another colorful and incredible new world!
