Volume 5: Eternity Chapter 7 Do You Remember Me
"Fang Cheng, what is your impression of me now?"
Fang Cheng was eating dumplings bit by bit. Although the dumplings tasted normal, he felt mixed emotions. There were too many questions that needed to be answered, and hearing this sentence out of the blue at this time made him feel a little confused and at a loss.
"Impression... What impression? What kind of impression do you mean..."
Is this going to start from the first time they met not long ago? That's something to say, although it might not be what she wants to hear now.
"As a human being, as the only unique object in the universe, do you feel that I am a more wonderful existence than many other concepts in this universe?"
"I think everyone is unique compared to other concepts in this world, but maybe you are even more unique..."
"Um……"
Fang Cheng was a little confused by this nonsensical conversation. This question was actually quite easy for him to answer.
Even if he is too old and lying on his hospital bed recalling his life, he will definitely remember that when he was a young man still passionate about life, he met such a girl and experienced an adventure with her that was unique in the history of the earth.
"Just now...I have realized how unique I am."
The girl in front of me was holding a dumpling with three fingers and chewing it slowly, and she seemed to be whispering these words.
"In view of the serious knowledge leakage that occurred during the sampling process , the Mastermind has decided to immediately stop all research activities in this star region. All research individuals are recalled immediately."
In fact, this is the purpose of calling the fleet.
Observer No. 1 was not surprised by this, after all, he was the one who caused this consequence. However, since all the research information was transmitted to the main brain through long-distance action at the same time as it was collected, they discovered it several milliseconds faster than No. 1 himself.
Knowledge leakage, the most serious of all major research accidents.
At the moment when No. 1 collected the antiparticles of all the particles that make up an ordinary human girl at the research station, an extremely weak leakage of information occurred inside the research station.
He actually noticed this ray of escape, but did not eliminate the individual in time. This was not out of pity for humans, but because it would make everything more...interesting.
But now it is too late, time has been reset, the old iteration has been overwritten by the new one, and mankind is about to usher in a new destiny.
Observer No. 1 understood that the escape of this ray of information would forever change the fate of mankind and the local universe of the Earth, just like if a very small grain of sand got into the eye, the whole body would be made uncomfortable by it.
But he had no time to sigh, because what awaited him was the judgment of the entire civilization and a long process of atonement. All he could do was to put a small period to the whole experiment.
The discovery of carbon-based life is a huge scientific achievement. Observer No. 1 did not have the chance to be hailed as a hero by the entire scientific community, but he was about to lose all his rights because of an experimental error that he did not know whether it was intentional. He felt that his fate was somewhat ironic.
However, the metal civilization has long abandoned the illusory concept of destiny. Everything is the result of iteration.
"Phew—I feel so full ."
"There's nothing I can do if you're not full. These are all we have at home. But I see there are still a few eggs in the box. If you're really hungry at night, I can make some egg pancakes with chopped green onions and leftover ham."
"Ah, that's not necessary. I don't think I'll eat here tonight."
It was now so dark that it was hard to tell whether it was afternoon or evening.
"Where are you going? It's snowing so heavily outside, the buses probably won't be running. And you don't know anyone in this city, right? Is there anywhere else to go besides staying here?"
The strong wind whistled as it hit the windows, and the dense snowflakes dyed the sky gray. It was obviously not the time to go out.
"I'm going to... perform my duties."
"Duty? What do you mean? Haven't we returned to the past? The world will not be destroyed, will it? What duties do you still have to fulfill? This matter has already passed..."
"If we had not come here, but had perished along with that world, then this matter would have truly passed."
“…”
The two of them sat in silence for a long time, and the sound of the wind outside the window seemed louder.
"You mean, the previous world... was indeed destroyed?"
"No, it's just that the form of virtual mass they transform into is different from ours, so they don't retain any extra information."
"Information...what exactly do you mean?"
"It is all our past experiences... or memories. This redundant information is a non-negligible perturbation in the entire system, and may cause our world, which is sensitive to initial values, to evolve in a more irreversible direction."
Fang Cheng didn't know what to say, and he couldn't tell whether what the girl in front of him said was true. In fact, he felt that he had become accustomed to unconditionally believing anything Ai Bishui said about physics.
"So, you have to remember me, remember what I said to you, the things we did together, and the thousands and thousands of unique moments that belonged to the two of us. This is really important, don't forget it!"
"No, I won't forget it. I will remember it until I die..."
"Okay! It's a deal!"
The bracelet suddenly emitted a much brighter light than before, as if it was burning itself out.
When Fang Cheng opened his eyes again, he was the only one left in the room.
