"I am you?" Sun Suhe repeated. He was sure that he heard every word of the other party clearly, but he was completely unable to understand what the other party meant. "What do you mean? Is this some kind of Zen skill?"
"Hey, that's the literal meaning. However, it's really hard to explain clearly. Let me explain it slowly. Do you still remember what I said to you before? You are not going to die soon. This is not alarmist. At least in my case
Not in my memory. Soon after, you will be involved in an incident and die as a result, but
Yes, your, um... let's call it soul, or consciousness, did not disappear, but appeared in another baby in a world completely different from the earth. That is me." Alice pointed.
He said it himself, although his tone was calm, but there was a sense of loneliness as if everything in the world was like smoke.
"As for why I appeared here, I actually don't know. In short, based on the time of the earth, about three days ago, I was involved in an inexplicable incident while participating in an inspection of an ancient ruins.
During the explosion, after I regained consciousness, I found myself on a mountain on the outskirts of the city."
"Haha, it's a fantasy. You might as well say that both of us are mentally ill. I agree more." Sun Suhe said with a sneer.
"It's natural that you would think so. So, first of all, let me help you break your inherent cognition." Alice pointed outside, "Do you feel that something is missing?"
Sun Suhe followed the direction of Alice's finger and turned around to look. There seemed to be nothing strange.
It's just... Sun Suhe took a breath, and he suddenly realized that it was a voice. From the moment he entered the noodle shop and sat down, his attention has been on the table between the two people, and he didn't even notice the various noises around him.
He completely disappeared without even realizing it.
People were coming and going on the street, and traffic was busy, but there was no sound, as if a silent movie was being played. The sun was still shining, but the surroundings were so quiet that one could hear breathing. A huge fear grew rapidly in Sun Suhe's bone marrow.
.
Alice clapped her hands, and the surrounding air seemed to vibrate slightly. The sound of the engines of cars, the footsteps of pedestrians, the occasional chirping of birds, and other noises all of a sudden and lovingly hit Sun Suhe's eardrum.
Sun Suhe took a big sip of the drink, and a chill penetrated his internal organs. Even if what he knew, saw, and heard were no longer reliable, his body's feelings were still an honest signpost that never failed in his duty.
This real coolness made Sun Suhe feel as if he had finally caught a real rope in the fog. With this coolness and taking a few deep breaths, Sun Suhe finally calmed down his overwhelming emotions.
Come down.
Calm down, calm down. Although your understanding of the world has been bombarded to pieces in a short period of time, as long as you stay rational, calm down, calm down, there is nothing terrible and nothing incomprehensible.
Thoughts were flying, Sun Suhe carefully chewed every sentence, every word, and every detail of the other party. However, how can he sort out the myriad of things? The worst thing is that the information asymmetry is too serious. The other party knows everything about me.
, but I was in the dark about the other person and didn’t understand the other person at all. Fear often comes from the unknown, and the tension and helplessness of getting deeper and deeper in the unknown field makes this pressure continue to accumulate.
Sun Suhe thought about it and decided to ask directly: "If what you said is true, what are your plans next? Why did you come to me?"
"Hey, if I don't look for you, who else can I look for?" Alice said, taking out a card with exquisite patterns and patting the table, "This can't be used here. I haven't eaten in three days."
"Uh, um, yes, it makes sense." Sun Suhe felt like he was punched on cotton. He wanted to laugh but couldn't. "That's not what I wanted to ask."
"Is there anything more important than eating?" Alice smiled: "As for the next plan, I actually don't have a complete plan yet. By the way, do you have any questions? I'll give them all to you.
Answered."
Sun Suhe rubbed his head. There were too many questions that he wanted to ask, and he didn't know what to ask. He organized his thoughts, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked: "Do you remember the plot of the movie The Matrix?"
?”
Alice was a little surprised, "The Matrix? Oh, remember, I have specially sorted out my previous memories."
Sun Suhe clenched his fists with both hands on his chest and said: "Remember the classic plot where the hacker Memphis asked the protagonist Neo to choose between red and blue pills. After taking the blue pill, you will forget everything and return to the virtual world constructed by the mother body.
Enjoy a false but stable life. After taking the red pill, you will know the truth and struggle in the cruel real world. So suppose I hold a blue pill in my left hand and a red pill in my right hand. What would you choose?
"
"What would I choose?" Alice pondered for a moment and pointed to Sun Suhe's right hand. "If you just answer this question, the red pill is obviously a more appropriate answer. Because choosing the red pill reflects bravery, fearlessness of power, and pursuit of freedom.
Wait for these positive qualities, haha, and choosing the blue pill is equivalent to being linked to negative qualities such as being conciliatory and cowardly. Of course, this is also the choice of the protagonist."
With that said, Alice pointed her finger to Sun Suhe's left hand and said: "However, if you really think about it rationally when faced with such a choice, choosing the blue pill is obviously more reasonable and safer. The red pill means infinite risks.
, the benefits are as illusory as the moon in the mirror, while choosing the blue pill has almost no risks and the benefits are predictable. To be honest, I can’t think of any reason not to choose the blue pill. After all, I don’t have the aura of the protagonist.
.”
"But," Alice paused, rested her finger on Sun Suhe's left hand, and said decisively: "If I really face this kind of choice, I'm afraid I will choose the red pill in the end."
"Why?" Sun Suhe asked.
"There is no reason. If you ask me why I chose the blue pill, I can give you 10,000 reasons. But why I chose the red pill? If I have to say it, this is probably my nature. Normally.
Naturally, we have to calculate the gains and losses, but when that time comes, no matter what the risks or benefits are, we would rather escape death than just survive."
Sun Suhe was silent for a moment, thinking carefully about Alice's answer. Is it true nature?
It was approaching dusk, and the setting sun gave the air a hazy hue. There were gradually more customers in the store. Sun Suhe stood up. "Let's talk after we go home. This is not the place to talk."
Alice straightened her clothes, picked up the hat that was put aside and said, "Let's go, I also want to take a bath right away. I feel like I haven't taken a bath for a long time, and my whole body feels so uncomfortable. Oh, by the way, why did you suddenly think of asking the question just now?
This? It’s a bit interesting.”
"I also came up with it on the spur of the moment. Do you still remember the famous line that Memphis persuaded Neo? Choose the red pill, and I will show you how deep the rabbit hole is. This slang is the same as your name, and it is the same as "
"Alice in Wonderland" has something to do with it." Sun Suhe bit his lip and continued: "I deliberately didn't think about the answer to this question at the time. Hey, it's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature. This is really crazy."
