Survival Paradox [Infinite]

He looked at another self.

It was Wei Chi, 25 years old, wearing the clothes he often wears, with a calm expression.

Wei Chi didn't quite understand: "Why this moment?"

"I don't know, anyway, this is the moment." That Wei Chi said: "At this moment, although I haven't received any news, everything has actually happened and it has become an unchangeable established fact...I can only take It is understood as...a kind of metaphysics, or in other words, a premonition. After that...even when he committed suicide, I never experienced the despair like the sky falling at this time."

"Hello, Wei Chi." The man smiled at him, it was a lifeless smile, "Let me introduce myself, I'm you—you from another world."

Wei Chi narrowed his eyes: "You don't look... not scared?"

That Wei Chi said, "Why should I be afraid?"

Wei Chi: "This is probably...the first time you have personally entered this kind of 'world'?"

"How is it possible?" That Wei Chi smiled again, "Of course I need to keep on-site inspections during the experimental stage."

Wei Chi: "Then let me talk about it again—the first time I was 'forced' to enter this kind of 'world'."

"Probably." That Wei Chi said casually, "But it's about the same as I expected-it's about time for you to take action, after all, you are me, and I can know what you're thinking by substituting a little bit, 'pull me Come in' This plan... probably ranks second or third best?"

The two looked at each other.

Wei Chi looked at that self, and still felt that something was wrong.Now, his body is 15 years old, and that Wei Chi is 25 years old. They are standing in the virtual world of consciousness, at the door of their house.

Wei Chi said: "Since that's the case, then I won't talk nonsense—how can you stop all this?"

That Wei Chi tilted his head: "It's very simple, you know the answer."

Wei Chi: "Speak out."

That Wei Chi shrugged: "You die, complete the exchange with me."

Wei Chi lowered his head to look at his own toes, then slowly raised his eyes, looked at himself, and asked word by word: "Just for Ji Jingzhe?"

That Wei Chi raised his eyebrows, and the two looked at each other again for a long time, then that Wei Chi's indifferent expression slowly cracked, the corner of his mouth was tinged with a crazy arc, and he suddenly laughed uncontrollably: "Ha, haha ...Hahahaha—as expected...the person you can't lie to the most is yourself."

There is one thing Wei Chi has never been able to figure out - if everything is as they imagined, then what happened in that parallel world should be: Wei Chi succeeded in "observing" at the age of 15 - Ji Jingzhe died In a car accident——Wei Chi entered the national scientific research institution for research——successfully "captured" the consciousness of Ji Jingzhe—Ji Jingzhe committed suicide at the age of 25——Wei Chi opened the "world".

But there is a problem.

There is a question that Wei Chi has never figured out.

——When did he fall in love with Ji Jingzhe?

Was it before the age of 15?

He really... Before he was 15 years old, he loved Ji Jingzhe so much... Did he not hesitate to do such a shocking thing for him?

For a bamboo horse that had an unfortunate accident, did he not hesitate to hurt himself, his mother, countless innocent people, innocent families, and do such a devastating thing?

Is he... this kind of person?

No matter what he thought, he felt that there must be something wrong with it.

There is no doubt that he is not such a person.

Although his parents are divorced, he has a sound personality and has grown up well all the time. He has not suffered abuse, bullying, or mental suppression. He has witnessed the injustice of the world but is not angry at all. He has complained and angered but also Received a lot of goodwill and favors, he is not like... this kind of... lunatic.

That Wei Chi finished laughing and asked him, "Do you have a sword on your head?"

He didn't respond: "What?"

"The Sword of Damocles. Don't you have it?" That Wei Chi smiled, confidently saying, "You have it."

Of course Wei Chi has.

The proud son of heaven, the sword of Damocles hanging above his head, has been watching his mistakes and failures.

From childhood to adulthood, countless people told him "you can do it".He did.But above his soul, this sword has been eyeing, eager to try, and every time he succeeds, the sword will get heavier, and he has a kind of fear in the expectations of everyone-people can't "do" all the time, right?When the moment of "no" comes, what price will you pay?

In this world, the first time he felt "freedom" from this sword was when Shi Ji Jingzhe disappeared.

He looked for Ji Jingzhe like crazy, did a lot of "excellent" things that deviated from him, and even failed the college entrance examination. If it wasn't for the recommendation quota, he didn't know where he would go.

That time was like a chain nightmare, and he felt that freedom briefly after he finally gave up and woke up from the dream.

——The expectations and visions of others are actually nothing special.

——No one will stare at his life all the time, and sigh at most when he has nothing to do: It's a pity.

But after he gave up looking for Ji Jingzhe and returned to his normal life, the sword appeared again.

Not knowing why, he unconsciously walked back under its shadow.

Wei Chi: "What do you mean?"

"That sword fell when I was 15 years old." That Wei Chi showed a very strange expression, half a smile, half a cry, "At the age of 15 when I had nothing and knew nothing... "

"What did you do wrong?"

He paused for a moment, and suddenly burst into a rage: "I 'observed' him!" In an instant, his neck and face were all red, and a tear came out of his eyes, falling to the ground in a parabola.

Wei Chi was frightened by his vast sorrow and took a step back: "You think... his death is your fault?"

Wei Chi asked him back: "Otherwise?"

"It doesn't make sense." Wei Chi said, "Mom...Zhou Yingchun said...you received the award and the car accident happened at the same time!"

That Wei Chi suddenly fell silent, lowered his head, and watched his tears fall drop by drop.

After a long time, he raised his head, and when Wei Chi met his eyes, the severe cold suddenly rose in his heart.

He said word by word: "But is the law of causality absolute?"

Wei Chi took another step back, feeling that his mind had completely stopped.

"Even if we're not in physics..." that Wei Chi approached him step by step, "'Delayed quantum erasure experiment

', you should know, right? "

Wei Chi didn't speak.

That Wei Chi wiped his face, wiped away his tears, his eyes were scarlet: "The two worlds were originally the same! The weather, wind speed, people's mood, schedule... are all the same! And I am the only variable! Just because of my 'observation'...

Wei Chi argued: "No! That hasn't been confirmed yet..."

That Wei Chi suddenly broke down emotionally: "Otherwise you tell me! Why is my Ji Jingzhe dead, but yours is still alive?!"

His voice was so loud that he disturbed the neighbor's dog across the street. It was a small Pomeranian with a high-pitched bark that made people irritated.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, only the barking of the dog and Wei Chi's panting were in the air.

"Yes, of course I love him—but... I'm not a person who doesn't accept death and accidents." After the barking of the dog stopped, that Wei Chi's mood suddenly calmed down again. He turned back to the calm and restrained person who was certain of winning, "The premise is—it's really an accident."

"I can't accept the mistake." He said, "Because of my mistake, Ji Jingzhe died-then I must correct it."

He was pressed very close. Because he was ten years older, he was nearly half a head taller than the 15-year-old Wei Chi, and his height brought a strong sense of oppression.

Wei Chi pushed him away, and said, "Your so-called 'correction' means stealing Ji Jingzhe from me?"

"Of course I know it's not right, but I've thought about it...it's the best way."

Wei Chi was directly annoyed and laughed: "Tell me, what's a good way?"

That Wei Chi really started counting with his fingers: "Look... you first let go of your prejudices, and think about it rationally—when Ji Jingzhe was around, you left without saying goodbye, you were angry and resentful... ...nothing else to worry about, isn't it? You'll treat him like an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, a hidden wound you'll never bring up again. And then...you'll be on your way. Walking... Work, get married, have children, maybe you won't be rich, but you don't care about those at first, and you grow old peacefully, maybe you will think of this young bamboo horse after many years, and think of the young heartstrings that move slightly, but you will soon It'll be over...your whole life—it'll be happy."

Wei Chi was speechless because he realized that maybe it was true.

If it were today, he would go through fire and water for Ji Jingzhe and destroy the world, but——when he was 15 years old, he might... really give up.

That Wei Chi asserted: "And I, I have made a big mistake. If I don't fix it... I can't get out. I can never get out. I will die."

Wei Chi couldn't speak, he looked at himself in front of him, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

In fact, they were exactly the same.

They all grew up like that, they were all moved in secret, when they didn't realize it, and at the last moment, they chose to "observe" Ji Jingzhe.

The only difference is that he failed in that 700 in [-] trillion chance, while he succeeded.

That Wei Chi smiled bitterly: "I almost succeeded... I almost succeeded."

"No." Wei Chi sighed, "You have already succeeded. You snatched him away." After a pause, he continued, "You just didn't think about it, he is also a human being, and he will find out all this."

"Are you proud?" That Wei Chi looked at him and suddenly chuckled, "But it's not like he never loved me."

"Everything he did with you, he did with me."
