[Comprehensive crime] The name of the murderer

What would a world with nothing look like?

There is no light or darkness there, and even the sense of sight has disappeared. Similarly, there is no sense of taste, hearing, touch, time and space, life and death.

Only the soul, and only the feelings that accompany the soul are eternal.

Tang Sisi is in such a place.

Where is this?When Tang Sisi had this idea in her heart, a consciousness invaded her mind.

- This is my world.

Tang Sisi became terrified, lost the barrier of her body, she felt the fear itself very clearly, she knew that the consciousness was not herself, nor Shen Ming, it was a stranger, so she questioned in her mind.

--Who are you?

—I have forgotten my name, He calls me to answer.

——Ah, I see, you belong to God, right? Why am I here?

——I summoned you, summoning is my ability.

Tang Sisi was a little confused, she didn't like this kind of "brain wave" communication, there was no privacy at all!So she tried to summon Shen Ming in her mind, wanting him to send her out of this ghost place, but that consciousness spoke again.

- There is no god in this world.

--Um?How can it be?In that case the world would not exist.

— but you are here.But wait, my name is Answer, so I called you just to ask a question.

--what is the problem?

——This question is a bit complicated, listen to me slowly.

************

This world was once similar to yours.

The universe is boundless, the nebulae are colorful and bright, the stars are shining, and the planets are colorful. Human civilization was born on the earth and lasted for a full [-] million years. We traveled through gamma storms and wormholes, captured black holes and supernovae, unlocked genes and elementary particles, and reached the Milky Way. There are no more secrets, and human beings begin to examine themselves.

We have the time and resources to meticulously examine all events of the past [-] million years.

During a random screening, an ordinary investigator accidentally noticed an ordinary gardener and linked his photo with an ordinary teacher a century ago. A random coincidence.

However, soon, people with good intentions found more photos similar to that face.

Slowly, we have sorted out the reincarnation trajectory of "His" for [-] million years.

At that time, human beings had been at ease for too long, had been conceited for too long, and could not believe that there were undecipherable secrets in this world, so we began to pursue the truth of "Him".

As the exploration deepens, more incredible mysteries emerge, and countless clues point to his real body. It turns out that there are really gods and the power to control all things in the world.

Human beings finally can’t go on comfortably anymore. We are full of fear and anger just like our ancestors walked out of a safe cave for the first time [-] million years ago. We gave up the development of the far side of the galaxy, the exploration of extragalactic galaxies, and art, culture, and music. Use all your resources to solve this mystery.

Then we discovered the law of his reincarnation, he likes to use the same face.

So we sifted through the [-] billion people in the galaxy, and finally found his just abandoned body.

After forcing him to change his appearance, we will not be able to identify him by appearance and genes.

However, when he abandoned his body, he would also be born again, so we carried out a large-scale population reduction. After half a century, there was no newborn baby in the galaxy. We thought that this would seal him, but he became new species.

We can control people, and we can control everything.

So we took off our own brains and put them in sterile containers to prevent the parasitic bacteria on the body from becoming him.

Then it destroyed all the planets that bred life, not even a single virus remained.

At that time, the last human beings were already very old, and even their beliefs could not support them. Only I sat in the space station orbiting Jupiter and witnessed the subtle brilliance of the earth when it crashed into the sun.

From this moment on, there is no other life in the universe except me.

I finally met him.

He came to me in human form.

I said to Him, "Are you God?"

The world instantly returned to the past.

He and I walked on the stone road in the early morning. The sky was bright and the morning breeze was still a little cold. An arched stone bridge stood in front of it. There was a breakfast cart parked under the willow tree at the head of the bridge. After breakfast, white mist rose from the steamer in the car, and the soy milk gave off a sweet aroma. The awning boat passed the bridge hole and the green vines with a long scull, and frightened a few waterfowls. Everything was too beautiful.

He said, "I am."

After a century, I felt the sun and the wind again with my flesh and blood. Suddenly it was amazing. He even stopped and bought two buns. Then we walked to the top of the bridge and ate on the stone railing.

I asked him, "What else can you do?"

So time and space rotated, the morning light and the small bridge disappeared, and countless world journals appeared in front of me, in various poses and with different expressions, grotesque and bizarre, beyond the most extreme imagination of human beings.

He said: "Man, I am omnipotent, what do you want?"

"We want all sentient beings to be born free and not be bound by any external force."

"How free is it?"

"I didn't think about it. But as long as you have an idea, you can turn technology into magic, turn the universe into lotus flowers in the pond, and let the living beings have no worries and sorrows. They have everything and know everything when they are born. , from now on there will be no desires or desires until eternity?”

"You want that kind of world?"

"Of course not, life like that is meaningless."

"In that case, why do you want to see me?"

"But the eternal life, health, and peace we pursue all our lives are just the rules of the game set by you. It is you who created death, disease, and hunger... Let us spend our entire lives solving the troubles that should not exist. It's disgusting."

"It seems like a paradox that you don't want perfection and you blame me for creating imperfections."

"You give us meaning, but that meaning itself has no meaning."

"So? What kind of world do you want?"

"We don't know, and we don't think about it, but at least for now, we want a world without you."

"In that case, this world will no longer exist, because I am the rules, logic, matter, time and space, photons and electrons, and the laws of operation of photons and electrons. Is that okay?"

"As long as I don't have you."

************

——Then my world is as you see it.

Tang Sisi understood for a while, they had engaged in a self-destruction and forced the gods to come out to negotiate with humans, but they neither wanted a perfect world, but also hated a world with regrets, so they didn't know what to do, it was very contradictory.

So she asked.

——If he wasn't around, why didn't the world disappear?

—He left a question that sustains me and the world and gives me the ability to summon the soul of its world.

--what is the problem?

——What kind of world do we want?I thought you could give me some advice.

--ah?Don't ask me if you screw up questions that the whole world doesn't understand, right?I'm only 24 years old!Seriously this place is kind of scary, can you...

************

"Can you—"

Tang Sisi suddenly found herself back home with a washbasin in her hand, and someone was picking her door lock.

She immediately raised the washbasin, threw it over the moment the door opened, and was naturally caught.

Tang Sisi scolded angrily: "You can't knock on the door?"

Shen Ming: "You splash mine first!"

"I went to see an opera, but it rained, the power went out and the road collapsed. Isn't that too much?"

"It's not me." Shen Ming put down the washbasin, closed the door and walked in, "You are a human being, and if you are a human being, you will recite words."

"Really not you?"

"I swear, it was my words that shattered the world." After he finished speaking, he paused for a second, and the years were still quiet, "Look, it's really not me."

Tang Sisi let him sit on the sofa angrily.

"Just now I—" She stopped suddenly in the middle of her words, not knowing whether she should tell Shen Ming.

Shen Ming said for her: "I brought you back from that world. You left the last world and didn't come back, so I went there to find you. Some gods like to go there because there is no me in that world." .”

"But if this is the case, won't it break the stability of that world?"

"There is only one problem and one god left in that world, what else can be affected?"

Sitting next to him, Tang Sisi frowned, still thinking about what she just heard—you gave us the meaning of existence, but this meaning itself is meaningless.Isn't the essence of what she has learned from studying in the past ten years also all illusory settings?She is desperately trying to make money to meet her basic necessities, isn't it a trouble created out of nothing, so what is the meaning of her existence?

Shen Ming stretched out a finger and pushed her: "Why did you ask me to come?"

Tang Sisi turned her head: "Can you control the soul?"

"I didn't create the soul, I can only make containers for your souls."

"No matter the cost, can you delete the memory I just had? Even delete everything I have experienced since I met you? Or infinitely loop my life until I ask a question that you can answer?"

Shen Ming responded softly: "En."

"Then have you ever tampered with my life behind my back? - Forget it, if you really want to play with me, I can't help it. Otherwise, you'd better become a cat. It's emotionally easier to think of being ruled by a cat."

Shen Ming confessed: "After you traveled for the first time, I observed your life out of curiosity, but I didn't touch your fate."

"What about my privacy! You know I'm going to be mad if you do that?"

"I don't admit this kind of thing, and you can't verify it, but if I tell you, at least you know that I haven't lied to you."

Another bucket of wool was poured into Tang Sisi's already messy mind. She bent down and covered her face, feeling that the frequency of her brain was not enough.

"You'd better become a cat!"

Hearing these words, Shen Ming suddenly leaned over and lay on her lap, looking into her eyes through the gap between her fingers.

"Meow."
