Therapy Planet No. 13

Louie remembered the cave theory he had read in a book a long time ago.

At present, when human civilization expands infinitely, many ancient sages' thoughts are slowly disappearing in the long river, but there are some fundamental things that shape the characteristics of the planet, but they can also overcome countless barriers of time and space, in the torrent of the universe Evolution, development, barely maintain the original posture.

In the dark cave, several people were tied up with their backs facing the entrance of the cave, unable to move.

There was a fire behind them, and the flames cast shadows on the rock wall in front of them, and that was the reality of the world they saw.

But one day, a man broke free from the rope and walked out of the cave.

This person immediately ran back and told everyone that the real world was not a shadow on the rock wall, but the group of people didn't believe him. Stoned to death.

But the rope is untied, and others will see the outside world after all. Some people can't accept it and choose to continue to face the wall and regard the shadow as real, but some people choose to walk out of the cave and embrace the outside world.

Louie still clearly remembers the final ending of this story:

People come out of caves, but inevitably they go into other caves.

Some people go out, some people choose to stay, this is how people from generation to generation go out of different caves, but are confined to bigger caves, they go out of the forest, and then into towns; I walked into the sky, walked into the cosmic wormhole, and thought about getting out of the black hole... I walked around, but found that no matter where I went, I was just spinning around in a certain corner of the stage called "universe".

But behind the universe, there is no fire, and there is no shadow.

Or it can be said that in the huge embrace of the universe, fire is everywhere, and shadows follow everywhere.

Human beings just go out, come in again, walk around, and find that they are just spinning in circles.

Louie came out of the cave named No. 13, and now he was trapped in this cave again, struggling to climb up, but after going out, he was destined to enter the next cave again.

She grasped the soil layer with a little force, ten fingers left ten obvious paw prints on the thick soil wall, suddenly felt very boring.

But she is different from the people in those caves. Behind them is not only the fire, but also the beasts that drive them away, so they can only run forward without hesitation.

"I think I might see the exit."

Zong Shili, who was at the front, suddenly said, "Do you feel that the surrounding light is a little brighter?"

"...how did you feel it?"

Jessica followed behind and lifted her arm out of breath. A searchlight was tied to it. This was a small portable light tube in the rescue box. The white light kept shaking in the cave.

"Because I feel that there seems to be a light spot in front of me."

Zong Shili paused, and said to the people behind: "Everyone, turn off the searchlights on your hands for a while."

Jessica pressed her teeth against the switch that controlled the searchlight.

The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

For a brief moment, nothing was in sight.

Gradually, the sound of breathing was amplified by the quiet darkness, and the eyes gradually adapted to the boundless darkness.

A spot of light appeared ahead.

A white, faint, but solid spot of light the size of a grain of rice.

Unfortunately, due to the position, only Zong Shili, who was in the lead, saw clearly.

She smiled: "Sure enough."

Jessica's eyes lit up, her forearm was already tensed and painful, and she asked hopefully: "So we can go out soon?!"

Zong Shili: "..."

She silently calculated the ratio of size and distance in her heart, and couldn't bear to dampen the child's hope, so she murmured vaguely: "It should be, after all, I have seen the exit."

Although only so small.

Louis: "..."

She seemed to have guessed the truth.

You see, the truth sometimes doesn't need to turn around to see the reality, and imagination can get out of the cave -- and go a long way.

"When I go out, I must find a place to rest!"

Dongyang said angrily: "I want to go to the sun! The beach! The sea! I will never travel to Dongxing in this life!"

Cave Star, as its name suggests, is a planet riddled with holes from the inside to the outside. It was already an uninhabited planet before the expedition team of the federal government arrived, but unexpectedly, the natural landscape in each cave is extremely magnificent , is a popular tourist attraction for Star Citizen leisure time.

"I want to bask in the sun too!" Jessica immediately answered after following.

It’s okay not to say, but everyone’s hearts flew to the space 9000 meters away.

One by one, the plans for the future range from the sunny beach to the sea of ​​clouds and flowers, and from the beginning of the cave, all wishing to wait until 3000 years after the federation.

"After I go out, I will definitely not let the Federation and the damn broken tower go."

In the longing for the outside world, Angel's sinister calculation sounded.

"Didn't they just want to kill us? They also launched a wanted manhunt in the whole universe. I really think my title of 'Death Thorn' is for nothing!"

Angel's voice was so angry that Zong Shili, who had always been as calm as water and didn't take much part in teasing, couldn't help but say, "What do you want to do?"

Angel sneered: "Didn't you know what to do and have no direction after getting entangled? I'll give you a direction now!"

Who said there is no direction!

Yue Ge almost turned back habitually: Didn't your guy just say that he wanted to contact George, the Paladin of Babel?

Is it really good to dismantle your own desk now?

But Angor's speech was too fast, and she was carrying Huo Wen on her back. She didn't change her tone for a while, and Angor took the lead before she could speak.

"Since they don't want the secret to be revealed so much, I'm going to do it the other way around."

Angel gritted her teeth, and Louis could almost imagine her biting her lower lip from below, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Secrets are meant to be announced? Aren't you in the media? Even if you set up a TV station and broadcast it on the Star Network—everything will be fine!"

Yue Ge almost didn't hold onto the stone at hand, and almost slipped down after hearing these bold words.

"No, are you serious?"

If such a big secret is said to be gone, it will be hell if it doesn't cause an uproar in the entire universe!

At that time, the forces of all parties will be in chaos, and the Federation will probably hate them to the bone—even other forces that are interested in this news will try their best to intervene.

"Anyway, the movement of the Federation is already so big now, don't you want to play? It's better to play a big one."

Angel was categorical, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

She lay on Lu Yi's body, with a half-smile: "If you are cowardly, you are afraid that your own... the amphitheater will be sealed off, so we can play by ourselves, aren't we, Lu Yi?"

Louis was just silent, she hadn't figured it out yet.

She is not Angel, and she likes to think about everything before and after when doing things. Although it is not impossible to take risks, the risk assessment is too big, and she has to think about it carefully.

When two people are together, whimsy and foresight are equally important.

"Actually, you can also not participate at all, after all, you have nothing to do with this matter."

Seeing that Lui didn't reply, Angel said provocatively to Yue Gezong Shili who was in front of him: "If it's just out of curiosity, it's enough to come here, and there's no need to risk my life."

Saying such things to front-line reporters is simply deliberate to provoke people.

Yue Ge couldn't help retorting: "If it wasn't for us, you two would have died long ago, okay?! I think you should worry about yourself more!"

"Vigo."

Zong Shili hurriedly called for help.

The cave was originally narrow, and when the two of them quarreled, they only felt pain in their ears.

Angel stuck out his tongue triumphantly.

"We'll help."

Zong Shili gave the answer: "After we go out, we will do it."

Louis couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Zong Shili smiled slightly: "Do you know what the purpose of our amphitheater is?"

She didn't care about Lu Yi's answer, and said to herself: "The audience is the Colosseum. We are neither trapped beasts nor spectators, just a stage."

"However, both the audience and the stage have the right to know their identity."

Next, it is none of their business whether the nobles suppressed the trapped beasts, whether the trapped beasts fought with each other, or destroyed and fled.

Zong Shili remembered that when he was a small employee, the editor-in-chief often said these words.

Those in this line of work will always come into contact with some "secrets", and as long as they are not handled properly, they will be doomed.

One day, the editor-in-chief learned some secrets, handled it carelessly, and was hunted down.

When he left in a hurry, he handed her the pen representing the editor-in-chief and said to her, "Take the pen and write down."

She didn't understand at the time: "Why me?"

As a recorder or bystander, neither expose nor conceal.

At first she didn't understand the meaning of doing this, until she settled down in this position, and saw many people begging for some shady secrets and begging for help with their lives.

For a certain matter, people would kill and be killed, fight or not, and this thing was in her hands - Zong Shili vaguely understood something.

She even enjoys the role a little bit.

As a bystander, but also a matador, but also a knife holder.

There was the danger of being bitten by wild beasts, and the risk of being stabbed by a knife, but she actually experienced a trace of indescribable happiness.

Zong Shili enjoys the sense of honor of standing on the moral high ground of the righteous side when he announces the truth, and also enjoys the sense of guilt of being with the darkness and watching the light disappear.

As a stage, she enjoys all the sorrows and joys that happen on the stage.

"Anyway, both the trapped beast and the audience will die, and even if the stage is incomplete, it will not die."

The editor's chubby face only flashed in his mind, and then Zong Shili remembered the editor's answer: "There is no reason, many things don't need a reason, it may just be a whim, it may just be a coincidence."

Even though he was fleeing, he still put on his top hat, picked up the suitcase beside him, and smiled: "Maybe you were selected because you have the same last name as the founder."

Leave a word without thinking, turn around and leave.

At that time, there was a huge sandstorm blowing outside—this escape time was specially chosen, so that at least the possibility of being caught up could be reduced.

"The founder of our theater is also surnamed Zong. He seems to be a retired veteran in the old earth era."

Zong Shili cleared his throat, and suddenly said to Lu Yi: "When she founded the amphitheater, she seemed to have discovered some secrets by accident, but none of the media at that time dared to disclose the news, and the old man was also very stubborn. He stabbed it out by himself, and blatantly registered a company."

She smiled: "It stands to reason that it should have been seized a long time ago, but I never thought that I have survived until now. Thinking about it now, it's quite amazing."

"Originally we didn't have any stance, but we just happened to be on the side of justice when we were founded, so we got a good reputation in the initial stage-but we also became a thorn in the side of the government, but we were against the government most of the time. My surname is also Zong , what happened is also related to government soldiers or something.”

"Maybe this is the fate of the amphitheater, destined to have something to do with these things."

After hearing this inexplicable story, Jessica couldn't help muttering, "What a bunch of weirdos."

In the final analysis, three words - I am willing.

"After all, it is the reputation accumulated by the seniors, and it cannot be destroyed in my hands."

Zong Shili made a summary of his choice. Without looking ahead, he stretched out his hand and hooked it. His finger unexpectedly reached out of a fist-sized hole and touched a stone.

But the stone fell to the ground in a flutter, and a large piece collapsed in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Instinctively, she lay down on the ground and stabilized her body, thinking that there was a subsidence ahead, and the clods of soil fell down in a flutter, raising a cloud of sand and dust.

Zong Shili narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

The editor-in-chief disappeared in such a sandstorm, and has never been heard from again—20 years have passed, and she still has no news from him.

But presumably she is still alive, after all, her intelligence line has not found the bones of the "dead" for so many years.

The expected collapse did not occur.

The gray dust was shaken off, revealing the clear sky outside.

It turned out that the hole wasn't a hole—or rather, it wasn't an open hole.

The opening of the hole seals the soil layer, leaving only a small vent hole, and the seal will be opened as soon as it is moved.

Zong Shili narrowed his eyes.

Get out of the cave and jump onto the stage.

An unobstructed view of the blue sky.

The author has something to say: the first half is Plato's theory, and the second half is my making up.

Well, the Colosseum, formerly known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is also translated as the Roman Arena and the Colosseum Arena.It was a place dedicated to slave owners, nobles and free people in the ancient Roman Empire to watch the fighting of beasts or slaves. (Source Baidu)
