Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1096 Color Blind Dressing
The experience hall is located in the middle of a group of towering mushrooms, occupying a quiet place in the middle of the noise; even in the morning when the city is gradually getting busy, you can't hear much noise when you sit here.The couch has been swept clean, but the two of them and the cat still choose to squat on the ground. It looks like they are migrant workers with a lunch box—even Doctor Cat didn’t get on the couch, because according to it, the puppeteer has already gone to the couch. Been wandering around for a while now and may come back anytime now.

"Don't worry." Although Hu Miaomiao was also sitting on the ground, she was sitting on the hem of Bohemia's large skirt scattered all over the floor. Anyway, she refused to let her paws directly step on the ground: "Take a walk, treat him Recovery is also beneficial."

"I'm not worried about him," Lin Sanjiu said unhappily, "I'm worried about this guy."

She turned her head and asked, "Hey, are you serious?"

"This guy" blinked blankly, because Doctor Cat sat on her skirt, not daring to move.

"I didn't think about it very carefully just now," Bohemia admitted, "I just thought it seemed good, so I said it casually... But don't worry, I have seriously considered it."

Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief.

"I still want to convert."

The scene was silent for a while.

"...I wish you all the best." After a pause, Doctor Cat politely stretched out a paw to Bohemia, and Lin Sanjiu opened it before touching her hand.

"What's the matter with you?" She sighed and felt exhausted from the bottom of her bones: "Aren't you the people who stopped me from converting in every possible way just now? Now I feel like I woke up from a dream. Rather..."

Her voice fell for a few seconds before Bohemia raised her head with her arms folded, and said softly, "The sky here...is really blue. It's so blue that it can pass through your body."

"Is that why you want to stay?"

She shook her head: "I...don't want to wander anymore."

Lin Sanjiu could see that the reason why she wanted to stay was far more complicated than what she could put into words—Bohemia was not good at expressing herself, even if someone was touched by the experience hall For a secret desire, she seemed to be able to find only this simple reason for a while.

"Then let me tell you why I chose not to convert."

One green and one golden pair of eyes looked at her.

"First of all," Lin Sanjiu raised a finger: "The Meijia and the garbage worker we saw in the experience hall just now, they probably didn't have spores on them at that time. This is the premise."

"how do you know?"

"Because it's not necessary." She shrugged and glanced at Bohemia: "The original mission of spores is to spread and multiply mushrooms. To use them to brainwash everyone, the amount needed must be huge. To do so It's too much putting the cart before the horse...Even if you don't consider this, the daily state of the local people here is very different from my state after absorbing the spores."

She felt that she might never forget the experience after absorbing the spores for the rest of her life.

She didn't even have the right words to describe the feeling at that time - like a mathematician who had studied hard for a lifetime finally confirmed a certain conjecture, like a mother hearing the first cry of a newborn child, like a flash of inspiration on her skin Goosebumps...

It's like opening your eyes for the first time and seeing the vast universe and starry sky.

If it is said that the human race has been struggling and groping at a loss since its birth, it must be because human beings are pursuing something, something that resonates everywhere.It is not money, fame or even love, it is something elusive that is far higher than human beings—what it is, Lin Sanjiu still does not know.

And the ingenuity of the mushrooms lies in this.

"They don't really know what human beings are looking for—meaning, or truth, whatever you want to call it—what, but they are very clever to avoid it. They tell you that what you are after is actually bacteria. Mushrooms themselves... Well, it can also be said to be a way of living in harmony with mushrooms."

Lin Sanjiu continued to explain: "Of course outsiders don't believe in this idea, right? So they will release spores and trigger a chemical reaction in your brain, making you feel that you have finally found the truth, the truth that makes you feel Something meaningful in your life. My feeling at that time should be similar to the "epiphany" in Buddhism, or like a scientist breaking through the mysteries of the universe... It is a kind of happiness that transcends the ordinary, and not many people can resist it .”

When she was at her peak, she was thrown into the dungeon and opened, and this feeling was abruptly cut off, so the "sequelae" were also very strong, and she desperately wanted to find the "truth" that originally belonged to her.

"So, you were deceived by the spores?" Doctor Cat asked, tilting his head.

A cat's world view is completely different, even a cat that speaks human.It never worries about the meaning of its own life, nor does it become exhausted and empty because of chasing various desires, it is simply satisfied with "it exists in this world" - from this point of view, Lin Sanjiu is very envious of cats.

"Well, strictly speaking, what the mushrooms are doing is indeed deceiving."

She hesitated for a while, seeing that Bohemia was listening very attentively, she said after consideration: "But it is closer to Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer. Humans don't know what they want, they don't know How can we obtain peace and happiness... So Mushroom gave a completely alternative answer. You are a cat, you don’t understand the struggle and chaos within our race, and the price we have paid along the way in history.”

She paused and said, "But from another perspective, the mushrooms just replaced what human beings have been looking for with something that is very real and close at hand. That illusory thing that no one knows exists. It has the same meaning to human beings except that this thing is not that thing. To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like a colorblind person who wants to wear clothes. Do you wear yellow or blue for him? It doesn't matter at all. The important thing is that if you are colorblind, you have clothes to wear. If you were an optimist or a pragmatist, you might think that the mushrooms saved him a lot of time."

Hearing this, Bohemia couldn't help but ask, "Why don't the locals need it?"

"I didn't say no need," Lin Sanjiu smiled, "But for the locals, it's not necessary to use spores all the time to give them spiritual satisfaction and tranquility. Their ancestors have grown here Whether it is called cultural tradition or education, they are already completely different from us in many aspects.”

"So the mushrooms are really not lying." Bohemia seemed to have finally let go of her heart, and her expression relaxed.

Lin Sanjiu lowered her voice: "Not necessarily."

Those two words shook the bohemian spirit like shards of ice falling on the skin.

"I think what we felt in the experience hall may indeed be the truth...but not the whole truth." She looked up at the blue sky and the various shadows that divided the blue sky, not knowing what she was doing. Can the voice of the mushroom be captured by the mushrooms that built the entire city: "They concealed something that they thought alien humans would not accept."

　I am very motivated to write this chapter, and I am a little worried that this world is entirely my own high... After writing, there is a subtle feeling of "the answer has been delayed by another chapter"... It is really not intentional!
