To Sutta

"You are still alive, Suta, but you live in the code in the form of brain waves." Lin Ling whispered: "Only this is the only thing I am sure of, you are definitely not the result of a bunch of data calculations, you are Sutta, a being with a will of his own."

The memories in Suta's mind gradually spliced ​​together, from the first encounter with Lin Ling to the recording of brain waves together.At that time, virtual reality technology was being strongly questioned by the society. They were shaken, but finally decided to proceed.

"Lin Ling."

"Before I die, do one last experiment? I really want to live with you."

In the ward, Su Ta once said to Lin Ling with a smile.

"Remember, Suta, the moment your body stopped breathing, I connected your brainwaves to the computer and input the seven-month records into it, and a wonderful reaction occurred. That was not What we imagined as 'replicating a personality' is that the entire brainwave activity can be stored in the data and operate autonomously. In other words, human consciousness can survive in the virtual space."

"Then I put on my glasses and entered virtual reality. At that time, we hadn't edited the space, so there was only a completely blank space." Lin Ling reached out his hand to touch Su Ta's hair habitually, but put it down again.

"But, I saw you in that space."

"You asked me, 'Lin Ling, is that you?'"

"I said, 'It's me.'"

"I saw that in the space, things are rebuilding the world at an incredible speed. It is the city we live in. In just a moment, we are standing in a company composed of codes."

Suta felt as if he had touched the most primitive and deepest memory.

"I suddenly understood that it was your brainwaves converted into codes that automatically formed this world. At that time, I was worried whether you were also the performance of a string of data. But later on with you, I found that you will think independently and There are different subtle reactions in different situations... You are the Suta I know, a real person."

"But... why don't I remember these things? I don't remember that I'm dead..." Su Ta said.The moment he finished speaking, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind.

"The brain is very deceiving, not only fabricating lies to others, but also to ourselves."

Lin Ling looked at Suta, and complex emotions seemed to overflow from his eyes: "Because you believe that the space is the real world, you must forget some things, otherwise you will fall into infinite self-doubt."

"So... I took the initiative to forget all of this..." Su Ta was cold all over, and his emotions were on the verge of collapse again.His body was like a broken image, and the codes around him began to peel off.

Lin Ling put his shoulder lightly.

"In the space, I found that we went back to the day when we met in the company. The logic of the world operates according to your memory data, so I removed Lin Ling from your memory and let me play myself. At the same time, I also filled in the relatively fragmented and blurred parts of the space world to make it more real." Lin Ling lowered his eyes and said, "I am too selfish, I would rather trap you in a deception than tell you the truth. "

"I think even if we can't meet in the real world, it's enough to wear glasses and meet again in the virtual world and live forever."

Lin Ling smiled lightly, but his eye circles were a little red.

"However, I was wrong. It's like a game that has been emptied and started again from the day we were together. We worked, ate, slept, and lived together for four months. During the four months, I Try to do different things from before, take you to the amusement park to ride the roller coaster, buy you all kinds of things, I found that I can not do it as I remember, the world will still be deduced according to my different behaviors .”

"However, some events cannot be changed. Four months later, on the night you gave me my birthday, the same thing happened. You passed out when you handed me your phone. You go to the hospital, you don’t know that you have bone cancer, and your body still has symptoms.”

"Three months later, you still died in the hospital."

"When you died, the world based on your memory collapsed. At that time, I thought the experiment had failed, and I was disheartened. But to my surprise, within 1 minute after the collapse of the virtual world, it was reconstituted, Back to the day we were together."

"So the first time, the second time, the third time..."

"I broke the cause and effect of events, re-coded the world, and even created new cities to live in, but it didn't work. No matter what I did, I couldn't stop the decay of the body. Seven months later, you will still die of bone cancer .”

Lin Ling sighed, and Su Ta heard his voice choked with sobs at that moment.

"Suta... this is my No. 12 time watching you suffer like this, I'm sorry."

The tip of Suta's nose was sour, and tears welled up in his eyes.However, the moment the tears fell, they were distorted and transformed into a string of codes.

At this time, he noticed that the entire consulting room was about to collapse, and gunshots rang from far and near.

Su Ta suddenly remembered: "What's going on with these men in black?"

"They want your source code. From university to now, not only we are trying to do this experiment, scientists and researchers all over the world are trying to combine human consciousness with the network... If successful, it will be a milestone for mankind —Maybe human beings can obtain immortality in the computer. It’s just a known successful case, only you, do you know, Suta, you are a miracle.”

The emotions in Lin Ling's eyes were complex, joy, confusion and bitterness.

"Three years ago, they discovered this space and tried to decipher and track it. I spent a lot of time dealing with them..."

Lin Ling looked at Su Ta, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were lonely, "But now I suddenly understand that people can't pursue eternity, just like this cycle of reincarnation. Life and death are eternal. .”

"Lin Ling..." Su Ta suddenly felt very sad, and opened his mouth to say something, but a burst of dazzling white light exploded from the door of the consulting room.

In an instant, a huge sound wave hit with the heat of the bomb explosion, time seemed to freeze, everything turned into slow motion, and the ears were full of sharp tinnitus.

Lin Ling hugged Suta almost at the same time, the protective cover was broken with one blow, the codes scattered, the two smashed through the wall, flew into the corridor, and hit the ground heavily.

Su Ta only felt dizzy, but saw that Lin Ling was covered in blood and had fainted, with bright red blood spreading on the ground.Suta's head was blank, and his bones felt as if they had been smashed, excruciatingly painful.

Lin Ling's body also flickered like an image, and finally turned into a string of transparent numbers, flew into the air and disappeared.

"... Lin Ling?"

Suta realized that his forehead might be bleeding, everything in front of him was covered by a steady stream of bright red, and tears rolled down mixed with blood.

Lin Ling should have lost consciousness in the real world, so the connection with the virtual reality was cut off, so he disappeared.

A large group of men in black approached step by step from the end of the corridor, holding guns and pointing at Suta. The leader was the man in the peaked cap that Suta met that day.

"It's you?!" Suta raised his head and gritted his teeth.

"Hello, we met again. I thought that chip was enough to separate you and Lin Ling, but I didn't expect that so many times, you still don't have a long memory, so you just trust him? But in the end, didn't you find that everything is wrong?" Is it fake? Man, it’s just so cheap, you don’t want the truth even if it’s in front of you.” The man in the peaked cap sneered and said, “Stop talking nonsense, arrest people.”

Suta forced himself up from the ground, but couldn't stand up right away.The man in black walked cautiously step by step.At this moment, Suta was already covered in blood, his lips were trembling, his limbs were in pain, his mind was dazed, but he was very clear, spinning rapidly.

He remembered that Lin Ling had said that this was a world based on his memory... Does it mean that he has the highest control over this world?

Thinking of this, Suta closed his eyes and concentrated.In his vague memory, there seemed to be similar actions before.

Just...focus on...

The man in black had arrived, and Suta opened his eyes. Suddenly, there seemed to be a strong airflow in the corridor, and a group of men in black flew out, like a bowling ball, and a large area fell down in the corridor.

It worked!

Suta breathed a sigh of relief.

ka ka ka-

It was the sound of bullets being loaded, and a group of men in black stood firm and wanted to shoot Suta with their guns, but the man in the cap raised his hand to stop him, and said loudly: "Stop it all! If the source code is broken, you will pay for it?"

"This is my world, you can't touch me." Suta said.

"Oh, your world? That's not necessarily the case. You are a sick person now, and you can't move if you want to." The man in the cap and the man in black approached again, and he challenged: "Do you like bowling? You can try again. "

The two parties were confronting each other. At the corner of the corridor, a group of doctors, nurses and patients suddenly rushed out, each carrying a machine gun and shooting at the man in black.

In the confusion, Su Ta felt that he was being pulled up by someone, and when he looked up, it was actually Lu Mo.

"How is Lin Ling?! Do you know?" Suta blurted out.
