What does trust depend on?Under what circumstances will people trust each other?What is the basis of trust?substance?Spirit?culture?Or is it a habit?Whatever it is, trust is dangerous.Whatever it is, distrust is wrong!

The blue-black night sky is full of stars, as bright as bright diamonds. This is the first time I have seen such a sky since I was a child.

Drinking beer, looking up at the stars, walking in this city without electricity or light.It feels really comfortable, how can I put it?Feeling like you are enjoying life?As if you are the only one left in the world?In other words, I own the whole world.Of course, I would not say such shameful words casually.

Speaking of power outages, this is not an event (in previous years there was a 10-minute power outage for environmental protection activities) or maintenance, but a complete emergency.About an hour ago, a purple lightning bolt struck from the distant sky, and a huge roar echoed through the sky.

Although I don’t know where it hit, the entire city was instantly powered off at that time, and it has not been restored until now.After the incident occurred, the official responded immediately and sent relevant notices to all mobile phone users through communication companies.

[On August 2130, 8, at 30:22, there were power transmission problems due to special weather. We will repair them as soon as possible and restore power to everyone.Here I only apologize to everyone on behalf of the Chendu Municipal Power Supply Bureau. 】

When darkness first covered the entire city, people were almost roaring and shouting in excitement.Such emergencies are something that almost everyone has never encountered, and it is always exciting when unusual things break the peaceful routine.But after a few minutes, everyone seemed to calm down, and there was no sound.Even if there is, it is just the same abuse and complaint as me.

Many governments, enterprises, units, and factories have activated backup power supplies.Although most communities are equipped with backup power supplies, in fact, the backup power supplies do not store any electricity.Of course, everyone knows this well. There is no power outage anyway, and even if there is a power outage, we will notify you in advance and then reserve electricity. Why store the electricity early and let it drain away slowly?

Although I roughly know the situation, I still can't help but say, "It's not good to cut off the power at any time! It has to be at this time, and it has been an hour now. I don't think there will be any calls tonight! Fuck, it will still happen at night." How to play the game! There are activities today! Do you know what it means to miss one day of activities! I am the one who beats Mao Lei, where is the Tribulation? I will chop you to death!"

The more he talked, the angrier he became. Even the beer in his hand tasted as bitter as potion. He threw half a can of beer against the wall on the spot.The jars crashed and dropped, making the already unpleasant mood even worse.I get even more upset when I think about the exam tomorrow. What exam will I take?If you know how to do it, you will know how to do it, and if you don't know how to do it, you will know how to do it. It seems as if after taking the exam, you will be able to do what you don't know.

The phone has very little battery left, oh no!I forgot my power bank at school!It'll be in trouble if some little brat takes it for me, MD.What's going on today? Didn't you read the almanac when you went out?

As I walked on the road, I thought that the night was still very long and I didn’t want to sleep, so what should I do?correct!The things I bought before should have arrived!Let's get through tonight with the things I bought but forgot to pick up.Just ask them to send it over by night courier.

I called the courier company, and since I was an acquaintance, he quickly agreed to my request.I looked at my watch and saw that the time was already 23:55.I thought it would be better to go back quickly. It is said that the temperature will drop in the middle of the night. The clothes I am wearing will not freeze to death, and it only takes 5 minutes to ride from the courier to my home. I have people waiting in front of my house. It's really not good.

I hurried to the door of my house, but I was still a step late. A man about 1.7 meters tall wearing a hat was standing at the door of my house and knocking on the door.Because of the power outage and he was wearing a hat, I couldn't see clearly what he looked like.But I don’t care. Even if you are as beautiful as a fairy or if you are the mayor, it doesn’t matter to me. I just want to get my own express delivery.

I walked up to him and put my hand on his right shoulder. He seemed to be frightened, his body shook, and he turned back to face me. "Are you Mr. Liu Xi? This is your express delivery."

The man asked me about my identity, and while touching my ID card that I was waiting for authentication, I answered him, "Yes, it's me. This is my identity authentication. Please give me the things quickly."

He didn't hesitate, he handed the thing to me first, then took the ID card from my hand and inserted it into his card reader.

Because all the things delivered by express delivery are made of glass, I was going to open the package and check it just to be on the safe side, lest the things break and I couldn’t find a place to cry.

After touching for a long time, I found that I didn’t have a knife or anything with which I could open the package. I saw that the person seemed to have finished reading the ID card information (actually, he used the card reader to automatically deduct money from the ID card) and returned the ID card. Give it to me and prepare to leave, then ask him to wait.

"Hey, don't leave yet. Do you have anything for opening the package? A knife or anything else will do. I want to confirm the contents of the package. If it's broken, I can prove that it was broken during transportation so that it can be replaced. .”

The man didn't speak, just nodded slightly and took out a dagger from his waist.I also thought this guy was pretty good, and he also played with daggers.

But what happened next was completely beyond my expectation.Under the starlight, he stepped towards me, and the dagger that suddenly appeared in the cold light swiped from my left hand.This sudden incident sent shivers down my spine. I didn't even care about the express delivery in my hand. I threw it at him and ran away.

"Help! He's killing someone!" I quickly realized what the man wanted to do, and immediately asked for help from nearby residents. Such a thing happened in this dark night. I didn't believe that anyone would come out to help, and I didn't expect anyone to come out to help. able to reply to my words

I don’t know if they were too bored because the power outage lasted so long, but one person actually replied to me, “You’re going to die, why are you howling so late at night? You must be sick!”

Normally I would talk like this, but I didn't expect to hear such words after encountering something, which is really heartbreaking.

I couldn't care less, so I could only scream at the top of my lungs in order to survive.My swollen legs had warned me, and my poor physical fitness made me realize that I couldn't hold on any longer and had to find a place to hide.But when I looked back, I saw that the man was following me on an electric bicycle.

"MD!" Apart from these two words, I don't know what other words can express my mood at the moment. Falling from hope to despair, from heaven to hell, this is probably what it feels like.

While running wildly, I looked left and right, because he would be at my side in about 10 seconds.Suddenly I found an upward staircase on the right, and I immediately stepped on the stairs with all my strength.To be honest, the speed is really not much faster.

Men see through my intentions.After riding the car to the bottom of the stairs, he decisively threw it away and caught up with him one step at a time.But I really couldn't run. The air in my lungs was not coming in or out. My breath smelled like blood. My flanks ached because of the gas. My calves were so sore and swollen that I couldn't lift them up. .

He caught up with me, and in the panic, he stabbed me from behind to my left waist. This stab made my whole body tremble.I ran even harder, but the wound on my waist was undoubtedly a burden to me.The pain forced me to run a few steps and then slow down. Within two steps, I couldn't run at all.

The weak legs cannot support the body.I was so exhausted that I fell to the ground.And what happened next will never be forgotten even after I die.

He walked up to me and stepped hard on my waist with one foot, then opened my clothes, and slowly inserted the cold dagger into the previous wound, and it penetrated deeper.

A sharp pain hit my brain from the inside out. The pain forced me to desperately grab the ground and struggle to get up to escape, but the man didn't give me a chance at all.

He simply pulled the dagger out of my body and stabbed it into my lung from my back.I clearly felt the cold weapon in my lungs.The burning pain was in sharp contrast to the feeling of the cold sharp tool. The thing was rotating in my body, constantly cutting the inside of my body.

Am I lucky or unlucky to die on such a special day? Where did I offend this person?

(whispers)

If no one trusts others, I will definitely give the most cruel punishment on behalf of the Lord.What will happen to the 8th person?

Today, the logic judgment problem of artificial intelligence has finally been repaired. Next to him, Lao Zhang, holding a cigarette in his mouth and lying on the keyboard, looked at the repaired code and complained, "Liu Yu, tell me. Artificial intelligence is obviously 'intelligent'. Why?" Will there be any problems? I can’t even judge the order of one thing. What’s the situation?”

I laughed and said, "Haha, you still have bad brains. And it's not like you don't know that our company is only doing artificial intelligence for industrial robots. You just need to know when to do something. There is no need to think about it." Hey, give me a cigarette."

"Ah, I know. Think about it, when I came to this company with great ambitions, I wanted to make an artificial intelligence with independent thinking like humans. But I didn't expect that this was what I was given? Only artificial intelligence for industrial robots. Smart? Are you kidding me?" He was too lazy to move and just let his arms fumble around. After a long while, he threw me a crumpled cigarette box with two cigarettes left in it.

"Don't finish it. I can't afford cigarettes this month." He added.

"Have you smoked me less? With your posture, the cigarette ashes will fall into the keyboard! Let me lend you a hand." He was also a person who listened to the advice. He stood up unsteadily and leaned on the chair with his head hanging down.I lit a cigarette and stood at the window looking at the world 15 floors below.

The lights are bright, but the streets are almost deserted except for vehicles.Is this what happened after the over-development of the Internet formed a virtual world?I gave up my real body, immersed myself in one illusory VR world after another, and dreamed one impossible dream after another.

"What, are you thinking about VR again?" Lao Zhang walked up to me and looked at the world downstairs like me.

Lao Zhang had dark and heavy bags under his eyes and a sallow complexion, and he looked really not in good health.I didn't answer his words, but asked worriedly for him, "You haven't slept for two days, so go back and have a good rest. You are already in your 30s, so you can be considered middle-aged."

"Yeah, I'm thirty. But I'm still just an ordinary programmer, so that's the end of it."

"Don't say that. If you end up like this, won't I be able to find food in the future?"

"You're pretty good at talking? Haha. Let's go back. I have to rush back to get the express delivery." Lao Zhang said to me.

"You want to use night express?" I had a vague feeling that something serious had happened.

"Yes. The courier company is so far away, and we have to go to work during the day. If we have a good meal at noon, we have to take advantage of the opportunity to catch up on sleep. If we don't pick up the things at night, what else will we have to wait for? And aren't we just night owls?"

"But it doesn't seem to be peaceful at night recently. I heard from my friends at the police station that a lot of people died in the past few nights. You'd better not use the night express. If it doesn't work, come tomorrow at noon and I'll pick it up for you. All is OK.”

"Okay, I'll call and ask." Lao Zhang took out his mobile phone and called up the number of the courier company. After some conversation, it turned out that it couldn't be delivered to them at noon. "Look, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Okay, but you have to be careful."

"Don't worry." After saying this, we said goodbye to the company.But the uneasiness in my heart kept getting stronger, and finally I decided to follow Lao Zhang, at least until he picked up the express delivery before leaving.

There was nothing to talk about along the way, and nothing happened after Lao Zhang returned home.I was bored with staring, so I took a nap on the nearby trail.I didn't wake up until I heard Lao Zhang's screams vaguely at [-] o'clock in the evening.My mind immediately came to the conclusion that something happened to Lao Zhang, forcing me to rush out from the trail immediately.

Sure enough, a courier wearing a hat was stabbing Lao Zhang with a knife. Lao Zhang, who was crawling on the ground covered in dirt, had not moved for a long time.

"What did you do! Stop!" Because he was wearing a hat and the street lights illuminated his face, his face was only dark, and it was impossible to tell what that person looked like.For the sake of safety, I didn't dare to act rashly. I just gave him a verbal warning to prevent him from attacking Lao Zhang again.

The man obviously didn't think of my existence. He froze there after hearing what I said. Then he pulled out the knife from Lao Zhang's back and ran back.

I quickly came to Lao Zhang's side, making sure that I was a step too late.Looking at the five wounds on Lao Zhang's back that were constantly oozing blood, I felt a little bit more sad in my heart, and I had something stuck in my throat that I couldn't say out.I called the police immediately.

I found my friend and told him everything. Within a day, he told me to rest assured that the city had set up a task force and asked an excellent military detective to assist in the investigation.

But what's the use?The living have passed away. No matter what you do now, it will only bring some comfort to the living. The dead will not be reborn.
