When Xiao Xiao woke up, his mother was cleaning the room.
The sound was just enough for Xiao Xiao to hear and wake him up, but not so loud that it seemed noisy.
Xiao Xiao got up and came to the living room. He saw his mother holding a mop and turned around and said with a smile:
"How old are you to get up so late?"
"Tsk, look at your room. It looks like a doghouse. You don't know how to clean it up..."
"..."
Looking at the feeling of the sunlight shining on her face outside the window, Xiao Xiao vaguely felt that this scene seemed a bit familiar.
He even needed to calm down to determine whether he was in a dream or reality. It wasn't until the hazy feeling when he got up completely disappeared that he realized that he had indeed seen his mother. She appeared at home cleaning the house just like before.
, she also took her luggage and placed it by the door. Then she was a little surprised and said, "Why did you come back suddenly without even saying hello?"
"Oh, you have nothing to do, why are you lying in the courtyard every day?"
Mom hurriedly said: "I have to tell you. You will have to persuade me to stay longer, but won't I spend money every day to live there?"
"When I come back, at least I can clean up the house for you and let you go home and have something hot to eat..."
"...How about making dumplings for you for lunch today?"
"..."
The familiar smile on his mother's face made Xiao Xiao slightly absent-minded, then he nodded with a smile: "Okay."
It can be seen that my mother still doesn’t know about my father.
I think the mother and son would not dare to tell her the news.
Similarly, there was such a serious explosion in my father's company yesterday, and someone died, but until now, there has been no news on the news, and no one from the security department has come to ask. I don't know if it is the will of the city at work, or if it is someone.
The secret power was interfering with this. Xiao Xiao didn't want to think too much about it, but he also vaguely felt something unusual and weird.
Now he just feels that it is quite good for his mother to come back suddenly.
Although I had generously paid enough money in the hospital to let her stay in the hospital for recuperation, saying it was for her health, but in fact, I also had the idea of creating a separate space for myself, because from the perspective of a stranger,
After all, my mother is also a monster. Living with a monster under the same roof will inevitably make her feel uncomfortable, but this feeling has disappeared with what happened yesterday.
The return of my mother just made up for the empty feeling in my heart.
Xiao Xiao cherished this feeling, and he didn't know what would happen if his mother knew about his father's death.
"I'll go buy groceries for you."
He tried his best to put a smile on his face and said: "Don't be busy all the time. You have just been discharged from the hospital, so don't be tired."
…
…
Carrying the vegetable basket and walking out of the house, Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked at the world no longer shrouded in darkness, feeling slightly different.
It feels like waking up from a deep dream.
It was exactly the opposite of the distorted feeling he had when he looked at the world when he first learned about the stranger.
"Brother Xiao, good morning..."
Just as Xiao Xiao was thinking in his mind, a crisp voice sounded not far away.
The neighbor girl Nono was holding the dog bowl, standing in the yard looking at herself and smiling. She looked clear and bright in the sun.
"morning."
Xiao Xiao also greeted her with a smile and observed her silently.
In the past, when I believed in the perspective of a foreigner, I always felt that no matter where I looked, it was confirming the falseness of this world. Now that I have reluctantly withdrawn it, it seems that no matter where I look, it is confirming the reality of this world. For example, in front of me
This girl is young, beautiful, and full of energy. Even if I am an observer, I can't find any evidence that she is not a "person".
Following this thought, Xiao Xiao suddenly thought that when he first met Xiao Si, he was investigating the shepherd's affairs.
At that time, they were worried that what happened to Nono was related to the shepherd, but who would have thought that it was not Nono who was related to the shepherd, but herself who was only separated from her by a wall. Thinking from this perspective, the shepherd has indeed never given up.
Observe yourself?
"Each one of these..."
Xiao Xiao thought silently, both Mr. Ye and the shepherd were very good at peeping.
They all like to hide in the dark and observe secretly...
...However, it’s hard for me to say anything, because now I am quite good at this kind of observation.
It's a pity that those two people can observe themselves, but I can't observe them.
After chatting with Nuonuo for a while with a smile, Xiao Xiao pretended not to be familiar with Santiao and left. He passed under the curtains on the second floor and came to the butcher's meat stall. The guy still had a cigarette in his mouth.
It's just that he didn't have the smile on his face like before, but cut the meat for the residents with a cold face. When he saw himself, he just nodded slightly, and the money he was charged for the meat was also not less.
However, that strange feeling always existed.
It's that kind of thing, even if you don't open your eyes, you know that he is there, that he belongs to you on a spiritual level.
Xiao Xiao carried the meat home to chop it into stuffing. On the way, he suddenly felt a strong desire to understand the world from the perspective of the indigenous people.
…
…
After making dumplings with her mother, Xiao Xiao told her not to rush out to work and left the money.
Then he came out of the house, took a taxi at the intersection and went to the old dean's small building.
There will always be many obstacles for foreigners to study the aboriginal people. Some come from the aboriginal people's own sense of resistance, and some come from the obstruction of the city's will. But Xiao Xiao has made the decision to understand the core of the city.
Those secrets, then the early understanding of the city itself has become a necessary basic skill, and these have practical data to look up.
In the small building of the old dean, there are materials he left behind after his previous research on this city.
"Matrix...fantasy...spiritual power..."
Silently looking through the information left by the old dean, Xiao Xiao gradually entered a very strange state, like waking up from a big dream.
The old dean's research on the aborigines was not from the perspective of strangers, but collected many problems discovered from the aborigines' own perspective. Now, with an in-depth understanding of these materials, Xiao Xiao actually has a sense of
A strange and strong sense of substitution.
The invasion of the mother's body is the most terrifying crisis in this world.
This huge symbiotic fantasy has grown crazily in the mysterious corners of this city, affecting many people.
These people call themselves strangers, and they often have a temperament that is incompatible with this city. No matter how well they disguise themselves, if you look into their eyes, you will see a depressing and lonely sense of alienation, a sense of standing in the world.
The feeling of not being able to fit in outside.
But the power of fantasy is terrifying.
This kind of power is elusive and difficult to calculate, but it always exists. Abnormal people are everywhere, and the power of fantasy comes with them.
Foreigners can "pollute" the spiritual world of normal people through the power of fantasy, and there are different types and degrees. Sometimes, this pollution just suddenly closes the spiritual world of the indigenous people, making them lose their vitality like puppets.
Or become their puppet, fight for them, hand over the money you earn, or sometimes directly distort their will.
Normal people would succumb to their will, willingly consider themselves slaves.
…
"When you were working in the Black Forest Biological Laboratory, how did you view the power of the mother body?"
Xiao Xiao looked through the information, suddenly remembered something, and asked the old housekeeper in the small building softly.
He once introduced himself that before he was bought by the old president, he was a researcher at the Black Forest Biological Laboratory. Now, when Xiao Xiao was studying these aboriginal materials, this researcher happened to be his teacher...
…
"It is a mysterious force full of possibilities."
The old housekeeper stood quietly beside Xiao Xiao, not even forgetting to pour Xiao Xiao a cup of tea.
"I don't know when the mother body appeared. When I entered the Black Forest, the laboratory had been researching the power of the mother body for many years. As far as I know, the gene enhancement potion developed in the Black Forest has controllable electromagnetic amplification.
The devices and so on are all related to the power of the mother body. We can be sure that there are some mysterious specimens in the laboratory, but we don’t know how to obtain them."
"It's just that the work we do is only marginal assistance."
"The core personnel who study the matrix power have a very high level of confidentiality. At that time, there was a saying in our laboratory that there were always lunatics controlled by the matrix force who were trying to destroy our laboratory because they had unknowingly hidden abilities.
The ability to pollute and completely transform people, so those core researchers dare not let others know their names, appearances, and identities."
"..."
Xiao Xiao suddenly felt strange. As a researcher, the old housekeeper should have had a clear understanding of the power of the mother's body before. Then, when he was bought by the old president, or in other words, "contaminated", the spiritual world was again
What changes have occurred.
"It feels like it should."
The old housekeeper did not feel offended by such a question, but explained carefully: "Before meeting the master, I also wanted to understand the power of the mother body, or to dig out more from this power.
The possibility of making better use of this power. Of course, in my heart, I am resistant to the 'madman' controlled by this power, and even has a sense of fear..."
"But after meeting the master, I suddenly felt like I understood the world."
"I am not willing to live in the illusion created by that city of flesh and blood, and I am not willing to be expelled by this flesh and blood like an animal in the pasture, so I decided to follow the old president, and in order to help him realize his plan, I am willing to sacrifice my own life.
life……"
"..."
He said, paused, and then explained: "Perhaps, my thoughts are influenced by my mother's body."
"But for me personally, I don't feel that my will has been distorted at all. I just think that everything is of my own free will."
"..."
Xiao Xiao nodded silently, feeling unclear whether he felt sympathy or pity for the old housekeeper.
I know that I may be being affected, but I don't feel the impact.
I know that I am being dominated, but I feel from the bottom of my heart that I am voluntary...
...This feels really weird.
Xiao Xiao continued to look down at the information. From the "pollution" that ordinary people were most wary of, he also saw enhanced elements, special items, aberrant creatures, etc., and saw that these aboriginal people had already tried to explain these strange phenomena.
These things that he was already very familiar with were now explained from a different perspective, which made him feel fresh and even about to be convinced.
Just like aberrant creatures, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are a kind of abnormal people who are affected by the power of the mother body. They can be tangible or invisible. The power of the mother body has come to this city, but only
Only those with extremely intense emotions can feel it. Under extreme emotions of grief and anger, it is easy for the mind to collapse, and if it is affected by the mother's body, it will undergo changes.
It is worth mentioning that ordinary people cannot see the distortion and weirdness of these aberrant creatures. In their view, they are just people with obviously abnormal minds. Sometimes they will behave aggressively, and sometimes they will behave aggressively.
Ordinary people will become a little abnormal when they get close to them, but these phenomena are defined by the Black Forest as symptoms of being affected by their spiritual power.
Of course, these things are kept secret by the Black Forest, and ordinary people have no idea at all.
There is a department in the Black Forest whose job is to give a "reasonable" explanation to all these things that can easily cause panic.
For example, they also gave explanations for special things and even weapons that could be summoned.
Fantasy creatures.
According to their understanding, as an extension of the mother body, the power of fantasy will be much higher in concentration after passing by, and when they exert the power of the mother body, the power concentration of this fantasy will be several times higher.
Level, in this kind of fantasy power, they can freely control the surrounding spirits, allowing them to see some strange things, it couldn't be easier.
The strengthening element is a kind of "special spiritual power" that can be preserved.
The spirit is invisible, but it exists.
But the spirit itself has no nature, but emotions and memories can imprint the invisible spirit.
It's like water being dyed different colors.
And strangers who have collected these specific "spiritual bands" can use these special spiritual powers.
…
…
"The Black Forest is really just a group of smart aborigines?"
Even before he started to understand this information, Xiao Xiao had already made mental assumptions for himself.
But as he went deeper, he still felt a deep shock. He knew that some people among the aboriginal people had been trying to explain the power of strangers. He had also come into contact with it, but he did not expect that they had studied it so deeply.
Degree.
Regardless of whether this city is real or fake, this is a terrible phenomenon.
Xiao Xiao thought of the most critical question:
Research on anything is only the first stage, the second stage is the most critical, and that is utilization.
Black Forest's research on the mother body has reached this level, so what will they do next?
The Pioneer Plan is undoubtedly their attempt...
...So, what does being part of the Pioneer Plan mean to them?
There will be less updates today, I have to write down the detailed outline later...
