parasitic son

"Where are we?" Liu Xingquan asked.

After rendezvous with Yan Zhen's good partner, Captain Chicken, no, Captain Madara, this world that was similar but different from what he knew receded like mist.The world he was familiar with, the passers-by he knew, the streets he had walked a thousand times, all disappeared.He is now in an irregular rectangular space, all around, up and down, and everything he sees is white.He felt like he was in a dream, or in a movie, and the scene was switched instantly.

"The cage." Captain Madara replied, "We are trapped in a place that resembles a cage."

Liu Xingquan pointed to a wall and said, "Look, there is a door on the wall." There are tiny cracks on the white wall, and the outline of the door can be vaguely seen.

"Yes, but this is not the exit." Captain Madara said, "It's useless if you open it. Hey, you really ran and opened it!"

Liu Xingquan has already opened the door.In front of his eyes was another irregular white space, he ran forward unwillingly, and pushed open another white door.He entered an irregular room again, and further forward, there was another white space.

After running four or five rooms in a row, Liu Xingquan finally gave up the useless exploration.

"I'm glad you're finally not running around," said Captain Madara, as it flapped to his side.

Liu Xingquan turned to look at Captain Madara, "You are too calm."

"I really want to know how you can tell whether you are calm or not from the chicken's face."

Well, the chicken is right.Liu Xingquan said, "Then what should we do now?"

"Do you remember the scene just now?" Captain Madara said, "Your life in Lola just now."

"remember."

"Then, close your eyes. Say to yourself that I am back to reality," Captain Madara said. "Calm down, and trick your brain into believing that everything is real."

"I try my best."

"All right."

Liu Xingquan opened his eyes again, and he stood on the pedestrian street again.Noisy passers-by came and went, vendors not far away were hawking goods, and the owner of the snack bar stood beside him unhappy, blaming him for breaking the chicken coop.

(Give him the money and let's go.)

(Okay.) Liu Xingquan checked his pockets, and luckily he had money for books in his pocket, so he immediately paid for the chicken.

The shopkeeper smiled when he saw the money, and didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

"Let me tell you, this kind of little rooster, let your parents make boiled chicken at home, it tastes very tender." He suggested, pointing to the money.

Liu Xingquan hugged Captain Madara in time to stop its atrocities.They walked out of the pedestrian street.He looked around.He could see Brother Xiaosheng's brothers eating barbecue at a food stall not far away, the expressions on each of their faces were so delicate and real, and the smell of barbecued fried meat wafted in the air. "This dream is too real."

Captain Madara said: "Unfortunately, this is not a dreamland."

"Then what is this?"

"It is compiled based on your memory, and it is a collection of mutual algorithms. You have been in the self-loop of this circuit just now, and before you jump out of the self-loop, I will also be bound by the algorithm."

"Can you explain it more clearly?"

"For example, one day you broke up with your friends after a fight, but you regretted it very much, so you thought it would be fine if you didn't have the fight, then there would be a possibility of having a fight with your friends; you were knocked down by a car when you went out , you may think that if you walk 2 minutes late, you will not be hit by a car and get injured, then there will be a direction where you will not be hit by a car if you walk 2 minutes late; if your friend is seriously ill, then maybe there will be a friend Find out the early signs in time and save the trend before the disease worsens. When the subject makes different decisions, there will be countless possibilities for him. "

Liu Xingquan blinked, "You mean the parallel world."

"How you want to understand it, we are now in a sandbox of possibility." Captain Madara said, "It corresponds to the direction of reality. You didn't meet Yan Zhen here, right?"

"Yes. They seem to have forgotten him." Liu Xingquan said, "Wait a minute, is there no world line for Yan Zhen in this world! Or, in fact, Yan Zhen exists, but we don't know him."

"It's a sandbox," said Captain Madara.

"Then what should we do now?" Liu Xingquan said.

"It was originally a self-loop sandbox. After jumping out of the self-loop, certain directions will produce a dead end in space and time. In this case, it cannot operate normally, which will cause probability errors on gravitational electromagnetic waves. On the current scale , of course it can be deduced using a mathematical model, but the problem is that there are no computers with enough computing power here. What do you mean by that look?"

Liu Xingquan's eyes straightened and he said, "It's not like what a chicken said."

"What do you think about chickens?!"

"No." The chicken that can be the captain is certainly not an ordinary chicken.

"I want to explain that Xiaozhen has no way to interfere here at the moment. That means you and I need to find a way to get out of the cage." Captain Madara puffed up his chest, "That means you need to rely on me. Huh? Yours Where are the eyes looking?"

Liu Xingquan was looking around.He suddenly quickened his pace and stopped in front of a fried stinky tofu stall.

"Yo! It's Koizumi." The busy female stall owner smiled at him, "It's a bit late after school today."

"Hello, auntie, give me a bunch."

"okay."

After a while, the female stall owner put the golden stinky tofu deep-fried in the oil pan on a skewer one by one, and then poured sweet chili sauce and garlic chili sauce on it.When he took it, the stinky tofu on the bamboo stick was still sizzling.

Liu Xingquan took a bite, "Well, it's delicious, it's the taste I'm familiar with!"

The female stall owner smiled and said, "The taste of my house has never changed. Huh? Why is there a chicken here?"

Captain Madara said angrily: "What's wrong with the chicken!" It turned to Liu Xingquan and said, "It's a shame you still have the mood to eat stinky tofu."

Liu Xingquan ordered a small cardboard box from the female stall, and divided half of the stinky tofu on the bamboo sticks to Captain Madara.

The two of them walked to the roadside chairs and sat down, eating with relish.

"How about it, this taste. I really like eating here. I used to come here to eat with Yanzhen after school."

Captain Madara pecked a few times, "It's good, but you are too relaxed now. I hope you can have a sense of urgency. We are now prisoners locked in a sandbox by bad guys."

"I have eaten this stinky tofu many times, and I remember the taste of her house very clearly. But now I can seriously say, yes, this is the taste. This spicy sauce, this crispy feeling, this special aroma Stinks, I mean, like real living reality."

"The muscles, blood, and every cell of your body at this moment are real. It's too troublesome to explain. This is a very complicated algorithm."

"Do we need to fight to get out of here?"

"Probably yes."

"I understand." Liu Xingquan stood up and threw the bamboo stick into the trash can next to him.

"where are you going?"

"Go get something." Liu Xingquan whispered.

"what?"

……

……

Liu Xingquan strode forward.Captain Madara followed closely behind him.

It was night now, he crossed two streets and turned a corner, this is a very old old neighborhood.An entire block here is the employee welfare housing of the local shipyard. Liu Xingquan remembers that the shipyard went bankrupt many years ago, and the shipyard community has always been neglected.For the children, the complex is a playground where they can come and go as they please.

There are various recreational facilities left over from the glory days of the shipyard in the community, and children often gather together to have fun inside.But for Liu Xingquan at this moment, this community has another meaning.

He passed through the buildings, and finally stopped in front of the water tower behind the community.The water tower is about 18 meters high and has been out of use in recent years.

"Is this a water tower?" said Captain Madara.

"Yes." Liu Xingquan lowered his head and began to fiddle with the door lock in front of the water tower.

"what are you doing?"

"This water tower is very tall, right? Anyone nearby can see it. When we were young, we always heard that there was a snake spirit on this water tower. Parents would even say that there was an ogre monster there, and we would eat us if we didn't obey." Liu Xingquan fiddled with the door lock and said, "Later, Yan Zhen wanted to prove that there were no snake spirits in this world, so he told us that he wanted to go up and have a look."

"Oh. Can you drive this?"

Click, Liu Xingquan opened the door lock. "Yes, because there is something wrong with this lock, as long as it is aligned at an angle, it can be opened." He walked in, "Of course, this is what Yan Zhen told me."

The two of them walked into the water tower.The water tower is dark and dull, and you can't see your fingers.In the gloomy space, even the advancing stairs could not be clearly seen.

Liu Xingquan turned on the flashlight and showed the narrow stairs. "At that time, I thought it was too dark inside, and I didn't take Yan Zhen's words seriously. I didn't expect him to sneak in here alone."

"and then?"

One person and one chicken walked up the stairs, the space was extremely narrow, and the small light beam barely illuminated a circle of light.The surrounding area was very quiet, only the sound of Liu Xingquan's upward footsteps echoed up and down.

"It's dark, right? But Yan Zhen came in alone, and climbed to the top alone."

"Since human beings are naturally afraid of the unknown darkness, that child is very courageous."

"Even though Captain Madara is by my side, I still feel very scared. It's too dark and steep here." Liu Xingquan whispered, "But Yan Zhen is always so brave."

"You are also very powerful." Captain Madara said, "Not everyone can act calmly after being in this kind of predicament. Besides, what are you going to get?"

Liu Xingquan did not speak again.They moved forward in silence.

Round and round, after an unknown number of laps, Liu Xingquan and Captain Madara finally came to the top of the water tower.

"We've reached the top of the tower." Captain Madara said, "What did you get here?"

They were standing in the center of the water tower at the moment, surrounded by dark and bottomless reservoirs.

"Yan Zhen said that there are no snake spirits on the top of the tower, let alone any monsters eating people." Liu Xingquan squatted down and touched the platform on the ground. "He said he found something."

"what?"

"It really is here!!" Liu Xingquan shouted, and he raised his hand excitedly.

He held a small knife in his hand, and the blade shone coldly in the dark room.Captain Madara saw that when the blade cut through the air, there seemed to be tiny particles vibrating.

"Then he gave me this knife."
