I lowered my head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, I raised my head and looked at him very seriously: "Then can you tell me that the world I have explored and the world I know really exists?
"
"Yes, they are all real."
Ling Zifeng didn't hesitate and answered directly: "But... you can't say it so absolutely. After all, according to the words of your world, life is like a dream. There is no truth or falsehood."
"ah?"
After receiving this explanation, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"That's right, you said it might be better to explain. I don't know if I really exist, and you can't be sure that you really exist. Because the meaning of existence is what people define."
"How do you explain this?"
Listening to Ling Zifeng's words, I couldn't help but feel a little interested.
"For example..."
Ling Zifeng was silent for a moment, then pointed to his room: "If this room is completely closed and I am in this room, you have no way to prove my existence except opening the room."
"Then to you, do I exist? Or to you, do you exist to me?"
Ling Zifeng's two-sentence explanation made me couldn't help but applaud.
"If we don't open the room, in a sense, we don't exist. Right?"
I pondered thoughtfully for a moment, then raised my head and expressed my opinion.
"Yes, you are indeed smarter than I thought."
Having said this, Ling Zifeng slowly turned around with a smile on his face: "Then let me come up with a greater idea for you?"
"what idea?"
I squinted my eyes.
"You must have played video games too, right?"
Ling Zifeng glanced at me and asked seriously.
"Well, I've played it before."
I nodded: "And there's a lot of fun."
"Then why do you think that the scenes you see, the characters you see, and the words you hear when you play video games are not real?"
I was suddenly stunned when he asked this question, and for a moment I didn't know how to explain it.
"Aren't these made up of codes?"
Although I was a little confused, I still followed his words.
"That's right."
Ling Zifeng cleared his throat and said with a serious look: "Then why do you think that everything you see in your life is not made of so-called codes? Why do you think that you are real?
Isn’t it the so-called AI?”
"And how can you be sure that the person I'm talking to you now is not an AI coder?"
"I......"
Ling Zifeng's words made me speechless. I could only open my mouth blankly, not knowing how to refute.
"So, don't pursue whether everything is true or not, and don't always doubt what you see and feel. Because you may never be able to touch the real truth. Instead of doing this, it is better to live every day seriously."
Having said this, he slowly turned around: "If what you saw in your dream is real, and you are fake now, what should you do?"
"But......"
I bit my lip and thought for a moment: "But I understand whether some things are true or false? But I will have my own basic judgment. So..."
"True or not?"
Ling Zifeng sneered and interrupted me directly: "What you know to be true and what you know to be false are nothing but the accumulation of what you see, hear, and feel. If you remove this key condition,
Do you know what is true and what is false?"
"I......"
Hearing this, I couldn't help falling into silence for a while.
Being extremely talkative, I also found a match for the first time in a long time.
"If you live in a dark cave all your life, and as long as you open your mouth every day, you can have food and water, and as long as you shout that you need to go to the toilet, a toilet will be stuffed into your lower body, allowing you to solve your physiological problems
question, then if I ask you about your understanding of the world, it’s nothing more than that.”
At this point, Ling Zifeng slowly raised a finger and continued to calmly describe the so-called truth to me: "In your eyes, the world is dark, and everyone has to open their mouth to eat and drink.
This is what individuals have to do to solve physiological problems."
"All this, until you break free from the shackles and walk out of the cave, you will understand that everything you have seen and experienced is just the tip of the iceberg. So, can you understand what I mean?"
"I see."
After pondering for a long time, I sighed.
I admit, I really couldn't refute his words, so I could only nod my head to express my agreement.
“Whether your horizons are broadened or not depends on your experience and knowledge.”
Suddenly, Ling Zifeng slowly turned around and glanced out the window: "Forget it, I said a lot of nonsense out of nowhere, but no matter how I said it, I hope you can understand. When using the system to explore another world
, never arbitrarily characterize something based on your vision and cognition."
"I understand, thank you for your teaching."
I bowed my hands respectfully, with gratitude on my face.
Such knowledge and principles are still very precious.
"Okay. It's getting late, I should send you off."
Having said this, Ling Zifeng turned over his wrist and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
"Walk?"
I blinked in confusion: "Where are you going? Why are you sending me away all of a sudden?"
Being a little slow, I scratched my head, with confusion on my face.
"Yeah. That's the truth. If you leave the other world for a little longer, I'm afraid there will be unexpected problems."
Ling Zifeng glanced at me, with a serious look on his face, not joking at all.
"What's the problem? Why can't I react?"
I was so confused that I didn't understand what was happening in front of me, nor did I understand the meaning of Ling Zifeng's words.
"Snapped."
Ling Zifeng raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and suddenly Zhong Er roared: "All heavens listen to my orders! I am the master of all things! I am the Lord of all heavens! I am the God who rules all things!"
Suddenly, a dimensional rift appeared directly in front of me.
The blue vortex emits a huge suction force, and it seems that it may suck me into it at any time.
"What the hell is going on!"
I asked loudly and at the top of my voice.
"It's time for you to leave! For your safety and for you to live a better life."
Feng Linwan also opened his mouth and screamed at me with great effort.
"Then - when can I - see you again!?"
I strained my voice and continued to ask.
"Our fate is not over yet, we will meet again sooner or later."
Ling Zifeng waved to me: "Don't worry, I will come find you when I have the chance!"
As his words fell, Feng Linwan and I were directly sucked into the dimensional rift, with no chance to ask again.
As a dizzy feeling surged up, my body began to twist in the cracks until it disappeared.
...
"Doctor! Doctor!"
A woman in white overalls directly connected remotely to the doctor who was resting in a chair. He looked as anxious as Mars hitting the earth in a hurry.
"Um?"
The doctor snorted lazily, sat up gently, raised his glasses and rubbed his eyes: "What's wrong? Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
"Doctor, it's bad, Yang Chen has exceeded our control time for twenty minutes."
The woman's voice was full of anxiety, and her face showed an indescribable panic.
"Then how long has he been out of control?"
The doctor quickly sat up straight, adjusted his glasses, and asked with a serious face.
"Two points of information have been lost."
The woman explained anxiously while sliding her fingers to mobilize the data and send it to the doctor.
"Two o'clock? It seems that it disappeared for a long time. Did something happen?"
The doctor slid his finger across the electronic screen in the air, glanced at the system data transmitted, and started talking to himself.
"Doctor, do you see anything?"
The woman swallowed, her face full of panic: "Is it because of my wrong operation that this happened?"
"No, don't think about it."
The doctor shook his head first, then looked at the data in front of him and sighed slowly: "Let me think about it..."
After pondering for a moment...
"If I guess correctly, Yang Chen probably entered a world like a higher-order dimension by mistake, so our system was directly blocked."
When the doctor said this, his tone became a little more relaxed.
"But what if this guy is killed by someone from a higher dimension?"
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but panic.
"As long as he doesn't resolve it on his own, it's actually not a big problem. What we need is data. And if he dies, there's nothing we can do about it. He committed suicide on his own."
The doctor pushed up his glasses, his voice was serious and without any emotion, as if the people in the data were like ants.
"Then, his life..."
The woman's voice was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, if he dies, we can only completely erase his existence from the world where he lives to eliminate traces. Other than that, we have no other way."
When the doctor said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "I hope this little guy is okay."
After listening to the doctor's words, the woman couldn't help but lower her head slightly, her face full of worry.
Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, the woman screamed again, and the joy after the surprise was beyond words: "Doctor! The signal is there, he is back! Yang Chen is back!"
"Just come back. You have to remember to strengthen record supervision and never let anything happen again. Do you understand?"
The doctor pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and reminded him seriously.
"yes!"
The woman nodded seriously, turned around and closed the call.
