Chapter 8 Chapter 7: Countless people in the vast universe

My eyes widened—it wasn't that I didn't agree with what he said, but that what he said meant he didn't say anything. Tie Tianyin walked back and forth quickly, and it could be seen that he thought of something, but he couldn't grasp the center, so he was very anxious. He turned around for three minutes before repeating what he said just now. Then, he turned around again, stood still suddenly, and said loudly: "Suppose the trap was placed a long time ago, at that time, people were still primitive." Tie Tianyin obviously wanted to make a comprehensive assumption with only a small amount of data.Generally speaking, doing so is thankless, but it is naturally an exception for people with strong analytical skills.

So, I smiled at him and encouraged him to continue talking—at the beginning, Tie Tianyin was somewhat hesitant, but at this moment, he was already full of confidence. He waved his hands vigorously a few times before saying: "Please accept my hypothesis in the simplest way, and don't get entangled in logic, otherwise, it will become more and more confused and incomprehensible." I made a "please speak" gesture to him. Tie Tianyin repeated another sentence: "Suppose they set up a trap when humans were still primitive people, with the purpose of making the future world appear, and as a result, the future world did appear, what does this mean?"

I answered quickly: "It means their plan was successful. In other words, their trap was successful." Tie Tianyin pursed her lips and nodded vigorously: "This is what Ivan meant when he said, 'No one can escape', because the development of human beings is carried out completely according to the traps they set." I frowned, I already vaguely felt what he wanted to say. Tie Tianyin continued: "In the future world, robots will replace humans and become the rulers of the world. Robots will not be produced by themselves, they will be made by humans. Humans have always thought That is the progress of human beings, but they don't know that they have entered a trap and are constantly digging their own graves."

Tie Tianyin used a very deep voice, and the tone of his tone was not rushed, but it could also show his heavy heart. As I listened to his analysis, my thoughts changed, and I knew that what I thought was very close to his analysis. He took a deep breath and paused for a moment: "Human beings 'progressed' from primitive people to civilized people. At the beginning, the action of digging their own graves was quite slow, but later, it became faster and faster── Do you remember a comment on human progress in the past sixty years?" I nodded: "Yes, when the American spacecraft landed on the moon, the scientific community agreed that human beings have made more progress in the past 60 years than in the past 6,000 years. Because from the first officially recorded flight to the time when people stepped on the moon , but it took sixty years."

Tie Tianyin was filled with emotion: "The speed of progress of scientific civilization is accelerating geometrically. Finally, the future world appears, and everything is carried out according to the arrangement of the trap. Just imagine, when human beings were still primitive people, the future world Master, what kind of trap has been arranged to achieve the goal?" He looked at me, and I looked at him. We looked at each other for a long time before we spoke at the same time, our voices were a little strangely high-pitched: "Intelligence. They gave primitive people...intelligence, and lured human beings into the trap of developing civilization."

After we said this, Tie Tianyin breathed heavily and spoke quickly: "That's the most primitive big trap──As soon as primitive people have intelligence, they start to develop civilization, and all kinds of people are full of intelligence. civilization, and at the same time, all kinds of crimes full of intelligence are incidentally produced, and all kinds of crimes of human beings, large and small, are all produced after humans have intelligence." When he said this, his expression became very excited, and even his face turned pale. I have the same idea as him, but due to the influence of long-term cultural background, I think of it slightly differently.

His chest rose and fell, and his hands clenched into fists: "The trap set by the ruler of the future world is exactly what the snake did in the Garden of Eden. God did not allow humans to touch the forbidden fruit, but the snake tempted humans." When he said this, he paused for a while, and then said word by word: "The eyes of the two of them will be bright." I knew it was a sentence in the Christian Bible, and Tie Tianyin said again: "If your eyes are bright, you have wisdom, and you have stepped into a trap." I nodded slowly, and kept repeating each word: "Desperation abandons wisdom, and the people benefit a hundred times. If you abandon benevolence and righteousness, the people will return to filial piety. Never abandon cunning and profit, and there will be no thieves."

Tie Tianyin nodded, indicating that he understood that what I was reading was the sentence in Lao Tzu. I said: "Sage, wisdom, benevolence, righteousness, ingenuity, and benefit are all products of human beings after they have intelligence, and not all human beings have fallen into the trap. At least Mr. Li Er has already seen through that it is a human being." It's a pity that no one listens to him, or he is too lost and doesn't know what he is talking about." Tie Tianyin sighed greatly: "Therefore, despair abandons wisdom, and thieves will stop. Mr. Zhuang Zhou also understands that human behavior must be completely changed in fundamental concepts. Everyone rushes into the trap, the trap of all kinds, the trap of profit, the trap of power, the trap of wisdom, the trap of progressive civilization, the trap of rapid scientific development──”

He paused for a while, and I picked it up: "The trap of immortality, the trap of wanting to rule the world, the trap of self-respect, the trap of endless pursuit, big and small, one after another, in the end, human beings will be destroyed. situation, the robot dominates everything.” Tie Tianyin spread her hands: "That's it." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "That's why Mrs. Taoge pointed to her head before she died. She refers to the brain. All human intelligence comes from the brain." Tie Tianyin repeated: "That's it." I was infected by him, and I also said in my heart, that's it: all the development of human beings after they have intelligence is already arranged, human beings kill each other, people with ordinary intelligence are enslaved by people with super intelligence They control their own destiny, and super intelligent people are the same. Their destiny has long been controlled by traps. Look at the great and wise men in human history. Their behavior is so stupid that it cannot be added.

That's it, it can be said that all human beings cannot avoid it, even if they see that this is a trap, they cannot avoid it. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile wryly.Tao Ge's family knew this and wanted to tell me about it. Even if I knew it, what good would it do? All human beings have fallen into a great trap. If it is just the beginning, there may be salvation.But now, human civilization has begun for six thousand years, and it is absolutely impossible for human beings to "abandon sage, wisdom, benevolence, righteousness, and ingenuity"! It's like a person has fallen into floating sand.Just started or can still be rescued.Up to now, not only has it not been topped, but it has sunk thousands of feet, how can I get out?

What Tie Tianyin thinks must be the same as mine, which can be seen from his eccentric expression - if a person faces something that is possible, he will grit his teeth and make up his mind do it.If it is something that you know is absolutely impossible, you will not do it at all. Although there is nothing you can do, there is also a strange ease. At this time, Tie Tianyin and I both believed in our analysis very much, but we also clearly knew that it is definitely not our strength that can save us! So, after we looked at each other for a while, we all agreed and laughed "haha".After staying for a long time, Tie Tianyin said again: "The great progress of human civilization is a big trap, and everyone's short life is a small trap. People in Qilu will have hope, smart people, wise people, will inevitably roll in the trap, and it is rare to get out-" When he said this, he suddenly stopped, a bit like muttering to himself: "Like my father, does it count as getting out of the trap?" He looked at me, but I couldn't answer his question.His father, General Tie, once held a military talisman and commanded millions of troops. He was famous and powerful. It can be said that he was an outstanding figure among human beings and was admired by everyone. But what happened?The result is to spend the rest of the year in seclusion in an unknown village! I thought for a while, then slowly shook my head: "In a situation like your father's, most of them will escape into Buddhism. It is said that King Li Chuang, who ruled the world and ruined the Ming Dynasty, also ended up as a monk." Tie Tianyin smiled wryly: "He didn't think of this, but it's true that he has truly seen through his temperament." I let out a long sigh and didn't say anything, because I don't believe that General Tie really "sees through the world"──I also don't believe that among all human beings, there are still people who can truly see through their temperaments.Take myself as an example, I understand all the truths, and I understand it very thoroughly, but I can’t really see through the world. far away. At that moment, we talked for a while, and I patted Tie Tianyin on the shoulder: "I'm going to Miaojiang, Wen Baoyu's side, take care of him more." Tie Tianyin smiled: "Okay, but Tao Da Fuhao, you have to say hello, otherwise, Mother Wen came to the door on a whim, but the diorama would be broken." I agreed, and it took ten minutes to complete the matter. Tie Tianyin sent me to the airport. When we parted, I said again: "It's a blessing that you Xiong and Dr. Yuan Zhenxia are in the same hospital." Tie Tianyin smiled: "This former doctor is the most unprofessional doctor in the world. I have been working in the hospital for more than half a year, and I have never even seen him." I'm also curious, like Dr. Yuan Zhenxia, ​​who went to the sky and entered the earth, he can be considered at ease. Does he know that he has been in a trap all the time? I suddenly thought again: what about me?Do I know it myself?And more importantly: so what if you know?Is there any way to get out?Even if you don't want all human beings to escape, but you only want to escape yourself, can you do it? During the voyage, I kept thinking about these questions, and I was in a trance, and naturally I had no conclusions. When I arrived at the small airport, I met Bai Su, who was accompanied by Chen Er, the police officer on duty. She seemed frowning and depressed. The helicopter was parked at the corner of the airport. I ran towards her in a hurry, and she also came to meet her, and the two embraced each other. I don't know how many things I want to say to her, and she seems to have a lot to say to me, but neither of them know how to say it . After a while, I said, "Where is the little man?" For her daughter, the old name is still used. Hearing this, Bai Su let out a long sigh: "She doesn't want to follow." At that time, we were still embracing each other, and I only felt that Bai Su was leaning against me exhaustedly. Judging from her voice and demeanor, she was extremely tired-I never knew that she would also would be so tiring. That made me feel very sad, because no matter what it was for, it was not worth her to deal with it so exhaustingly, not worth it! In an instant, I had mixed feelings, the most important of which was naturally my love for Bai Su, and I sighed: "What's going on, it seems that happiness has left us far away." Bai Su lowered her head, I saw her long eyelashes were shaking constantly, she tried to make her voice sound calm: "Who said, I... am not... unhappy." I sighed again, trying to make my voice sound calm: "For our little one?" Bai Su didn't make a sound, nor denied it. I sighed for the third time: "You have arranged a plan to fully incorporate another person into your plan. This kind of behavior is bound to fail." Bai Su's voice was extremely helpless: "But she is...our daughter." I raised my voice: "No one can do it, even if your daughter grew up beside you, let alone she was raised by monkeys." Bai Su remained silent, and I hugged her and walked towards the helicopter: "Arranging how people live according to the plan is impossible for humans, only the ruler of the future world can do it. In fact, the evolution of the so-called historical civilization of human beings, It's a plan, a trap." Bai Su raised his head and looked at me with puzzled eyes: "What strange encounter happened to you again?" She knows me very well, and she knows that I suddenly have such a discussion, which is naturally due to a new experience. I thought about it for a while, and after boarding the helicopter, I began to tell her what happened to me. When I finished telling the story, the helicopter was flying over thousands of mountains and mountains. Bai Su seemed to be concentrating on driving, but I knew she must be thinking.After a while, she said: "All of this is just a bold assumption made by you and a child based on a small amount of data." I nodded: "Yes, we have very little data, and we don't know what will happen to the future world, causing the little robots to die and lose their control over the Taoger family. But the information disclosed by the Taoger family is enough Assumptions can be made." Bai Su was silent for a moment: "Actually, I admire the assumption you made, and I can vote for it." I reached out and patted the back of her hand twice to express my relief. Bai Su said again: "But I can't see how this matter has anything to do with our immediate problems." I naturally know that Bai Su's so-called "immediate problem" refers to our attitude towards Hong Ling.On this point, I have thought about it many times during the journey, and I already have the answer. I said: "If all human beings have fallen into the trap that has been arranged before, and all behaviors are carried out in the trap, then our daughter Hong Ling is one of the very few people who can escape the trap, because she It is completely isolated from human society. I don’t know what is the significance of this point. Perhaps, the disintegration and collapse of the future world will depend on the efforts of these very few people who have not fallen into the trap. If she herself likes to include herself in the category of human life , then there is nothing to say. Since she doesn't like it, why bother to drag her into the trap?" I always like to make long stories short, but this "immediate issue" concerns two people who are closest to me, so I can't help but make a long story. Bai Su glanced at me: "How do you know she doesn't like it?" I sighed: "It can be seen from your demeanor that you are exhausted. Tell me, how bad is the relationship between you two?" When I asked, Bai Su was shocked first, and then, his expression was extremely sad.I couldn't help being taken aback by this, I lost my voice and said, "You...don't ignore each other, right?" Bai Su's voice was bitter: "It's worse." If I wasn't in the cabin of the helicopter, I would have jumped up.I widened my eyes and looked at her. Bai Su sighed: "A few days ago, she left Lanjiadong and went somewhere with a group of monkeys. I finally hoped for her to come back, but I saw her from a distance. I just ran away, I really ran away, am I really that scary?" Bai Su's words made me feel sad and funny at the same time. Bai Su tried hard to train her daughter to be a civilized person. At first, Hong Ling was very interested because of her curiosity, but obviously, Bai Su's efforts were soon rejected. Hong Ling wants to live in her own way, and refuses to accept other people's arrangements, even if they are as close as her mother's. I was about to say "Let her go", what Bai Su said next really shocked me. Bai Su said: "This child, she leaps like flying. If she wants to avoid me, how can I catch up with her? I have thought about it. I found Liang Chenmei and invited the two of them to watch her from side to side. I can't let her go. Go wild, always be with monkeys." It’s not an exaggeration at all. After I heard this, I broke out in cold sweat and shook my hands. I couldn’t say a word for a while. After a long while, I let out a hiss: “It’s absolutely impossible. she goes." Bai Su said: "She is a human being, she has to live a human life." I replied quickly: "She is a person who is not in the trap, and there is no need to be like others." Bai Su's expression was extremely aggrieved: "Liangchen Meimei grew up in such a strange environment, and they also know to go to Switzerland to study." I spoke very slowly: "If you realize that everything that human beings have been pursuing and singing is not human nature, it is just for the sake of appearing in the future world, and it is just that human beings are digging their own graves, then you will Congratulations to our daughter who will be a survivor of the machinations." Bai Su was stunned for a moment, at this moment, the helicopter hovered over Lanjiadong without descending.Bai Su said: "Your thinking is too weird, I really can't accept it." I spread my hands: "No one wants you to accept, just want you to stop doing thankless things. Believe me, Hong Ling is very happy. As parents, why do we need her to go to the civilized world to strive for fame and fortune, and get ahead? " The helicopter tilted abruptly, descended rapidly, and landed in the open space of Lanjiadong in a short while. As soon as I stepped out of the cabin, I saw a wonderful sight.I saw that the twelve heavenly officials formed a circle, surrounded the red and two silver apes in the center, and seemed to prevent them from breaking through. Hong Ling and Yin Yuan were in the encirclement, rushing left and right.The twelve celestial officials each have extraordinary skills, and the figures are seen vertically and horizontally, dazzling and blooming, and the momentum of both sides is incomparable. All of a sudden, Hong Ling let out a long laugh, and the two silver apes, three figures, and lightning seemed to have swept away three zhang away. Then, suddenly, the two apes hugged each other, not only the red silk was laughing, but even the two silver apes were making a "giggling" sound similar to human laughter, which was shocking. I've seen for a long time that although the Twelve Heavenly Officials are quick and powerful when encircling them, they can't encircle Hong Ling. Hong Ling doesn't stand out at first, she's just playing for fun. At this time, when looking at the Twelve Heavenly Officials, they looked embarrassed, and many of them blushed and panted from exhaustion. Bai Su jumped onto the flat ground by my side, and the Twelve Heavenly Officials all showed embarrassment when they saw her—this situation, it was clear at a glance that when Bai Su left, he asked the Twelve Heavenly Officials to Watch Hong Ling, but the result is that the Twelve Heavenly Officials can't see Hong Ling at all. I also jumped down, feeling inexplicably happy, completely opposite to Bai Su's dejected expression.I was really happy. Seeing Hong Ling clapping her hands, laughing and screaming, I knew what innocence is, and what is true happiness.Her happiness is completely natural, without any fetters at all. Her happiness is unscrupulous and unfettered. It is said that this kind of state can only be achieved through hard work, but Hong Ling has already obtained it. .Isn't this the highest state of life? I was so happy, I clapped my hands and walked towards Hong Ling.At this time, Bai Su also walked towards Hong Ling, and Hong Ling, who was screaming and jumping, saw Bai Su, and suddenly calmed down and opened her eyes wide. Although she didn't make any special movements, that kind of guard Everyone can see the love. Seeing this situation, my heart sank, I approached Bai Su, and whispered: "Look, you have become a destroyer of happiness." Bai Su didn't say anything, she stood still, and I didn't go forward, I just waved to Hong Ling—because if she didn't want to get close to me, I couldn't catch up with her, if she wanted to get close to me, she would naturally come towards me. Hong Ling hesitated for a moment, then walked towards me slowly, still looking at Bai Su with a look of apprehension. I grabbed her hand and laughed: "Mom has too much homework?" She immediately nodded her head and made a cooing sound. I stroked her hair: "It seems that you are still a savage." Hong Ling grinned, and I couldn't help sighing: "A happy savage is happier than an unhappy emperor!" Bai Su also came up to hold Hong Ling's hand, it seems that the conflict between them is not unsolvable, it is really Bai Su's request to Hong Ling, which is too inconsistent with Hong Ling's nature. Later, I realized how much knowledge Bai Su wanted Hong Ling to learn, which was really surprising, and finally made Hong Ling cry out: "This knowledge is useless, not useful at all." Since then, she has refused to learn any more. That night, I, Bai Su, Hong Ling and the two silver apes, under the melting moonlight, Hong Ling had already fallen asleep, Bai Su said: "I want to bring her to a civilized society." When she said this, she was so determined that there was no room for negotiation. I thought for a while: "Okay, but for a one-year period, if she doesn't like civilized society, if she wants to come back, she has to let her go." Bai Su took a deep breath and raised his hands, the two of us clapped our hands together as an oath. Of course, everyone can imagine what will happen to Hong Ling when she arrives in a civilized society──At that time, I thought I could imagine it too.But in the end, what I thought was completely wrong, which meant that I couldn't think of anything. Of course, that's a couple of other stories. Moreover, after Hong Ling went to a civilized society, another unexpected thing happened in Miaojiang, which is another bizarre story—it will be narrated in the order in which things happened. I stayed in Lanjiadong for three days, and I was really reluctant to leave. Although Hong Ling resisted studying, she was talented and bright, and she knew a lot. When I asked Bai Su to go to Germany with me, Bai Su Su refused, she said: "I promise not to ask her to do what she doesn't want to do again, use your words, separate her from all human beings, only she is not in the trap." Bai Su's words are somewhat angry, but she has already made such a promise, so I can't say anything more.Moreover, I have no reason not to believe in Bai Su's promise, although when she said this, she did not look directly at me several times, as if deliberately avoiding my sight-this situation made me know that she must be another There are some words that have never been spoken to me. Of course I can question her, but first of all, between people, if one party has something to say, but the other party has to ask, that is the most boring part of the relationship, and I will not do that. Secondly, Bai Su has already made the biggest concession to me, this is the limit of what her character can do. At the same time, during the three days in Miaojiang, I was very moved. Hong Ling and I were only related by blood, and it was impossible to establish a normal father-daughter relationship in a short period of time.Bai Su finally worked hard to make her have a basic understanding of the creature like her father.And I didn't force her to do what she didn't want to do, so she didn't have to avoid me when she saw me.But I know in my heart that my position in her heart is by no means inferior to the male ape among those two silver apes. I think I am open-minded by nature, and I am satisfied to find my daughter whom I have not seen for many years in such a situation. invisible diaphragm. We all know that both parties are working very hard to break this barrier, but any effort seems so weak and powerless. We don't give up our efforts, but there is nothing we can do about this situation.One night, I mentioned some living conditions in a civilized society to Hong Ling. Hong Ling opened her eyes wide and listened very attentively. She has a rather peculiar ability to draw very accurately the impressions produced in her mind. This makes the conversation between us very interesting. For example, when I told her about a car, I first let her understand the shape of the car through language, and she drew the car according to her own understanding—it was the first time she drew it. My car is a turtle. Bai Su watched our conversation from the sidelines with great interest, but soon a problem arose. After Hong Ling had a preliminary understanding of all things in a civilized society (the skyscrapers she drew had the momentum of towering cliffs, which can be used as a reference for architects), she suddenly felt sad and uttered a cry, Two silver apes were squatting not far away, upon hearing the call, they rushed over and squatted down beside her. Hong Ling hugged them, and when I saw this situation, the first thing I thought of was the twin girls Liangchen Meijing, because the silver ape was about to die when it passed by just now, with a blur in front of my eyes and two silver streaks. When the rainbow passed by, they came to the front, so I thought of the beautiful scenery of the good time when the action was about to end. Watching them in action, many times, it was just a flash of red shadows. In the process of biological evolution, there is a sudden "atavistic phenomenon" of genetic factors. Is it the result of their ape factor suddenness that they have practiced such superb light skills? If it is admitted that man evolved from apes, this hypothesis can be established. At the same time, it can also explain why some people can't do light work no matter how hard they practice, while others can easily succeed. Using traditional terms In other words, some people have "good bones" and "natural aptitude", so isn't it because of genetic factors? Immediately, I came to Hong Ling from Silver Ape, I thought of so many things, naturally I was very interested, so I didn't pay attention to Bai Su's expression, and introduced the beautiful scenery of Liangchen to Hong Ling. Hong Ling also listened very interestingly. After listening for a while, she suddenly looked worried, and said, "I'm going to... a big city, it's okay, I can talk, but what about them?" For a while, before I understood what Hong Ling meant, Bai Su said, "They won't go. In a civilized society, no one takes two everywhere—" As soon as Bai Su spoke, I looked at her, and saw her face was extremely ugly, I quickly held her hand, feeling her hand was cold, I reached out to cover her mouth again, because I knew She didn't have any pleasant names for the two silver apes, most of them were "monkeys" and "hozens". Although Hong Ling might not understand the meaning, Bai Su's expression was extremely dissatisfied, and Hong Ling could definitely sense it of. I covered Bai Su's mouth, and she didn't continue, but her complexion was still ugly, it was a scene I had never seen before. And Hong Ling also lowered her head and stopped talking, but she hugged the two silver apes tightly with her arms, expressing her protest with actions. As a result, the elated mood just now suddenly fell silent.After a moment of silence, I reached out and patted Hong Ling's head twice, stood up, and walked away with Bai Su. Bai Su was speechless, walked about ten steps, and when he went to look at Hong Ling again, she had already somersaulted with Yin Yuan. I pointed to Hong Ling: "Look, troubles are all self-inflicted. Like her, she is free and happy." Bai Su's voice was flat: "If she is allowed to bring two apes to the city, she will really be asking for trouble." I originally wanted to say, "She is really looking for trouble by taking her to the city", but this sentence rolled in my throat, and I swallowed it, because if I said it, Bai Su would definitely disagree , This turned into a quarrel──Bai Su and I have different opinions, but we never want to quarrel. Bai Su looked at me with a half-smile: "What are you slandering?" I hurriedly said: "Don't dare. Don't dare." Bai Su suddenly sighed, I understood what she meant: "No" is better, "Don't dare", I still slander. I naturally had no choice but to smile bitterly. When I was about to leave, I really wanted to pull Bai Su to go with me, but before I mentioned it, Bai Su had already said in his head: "I want to stay here." Her expression told me what was going on in her heart, and I twitched a sentence under my tongue, but didn't say it, that sentence was: Why fight with two monkeys. Bai Su drove the helicopter to take me to the airport that can lead to the outside world. Anyway, I can come anytime, and the communication equipment on the helicopter can also allow us to keep in touch frequently, so there is no sorrow for parting.but.Before I got off the plane, Bai Su and I looked at each other, both of us clearly had something to say, but we didn't know how to say it. After a while, Bai Su said: "You speak first." I spread my hands: "What I want to say, I think I have said it all." Bai Su lowered his head for a while, then said: "I still have something to say, and it's about what I'm going to do." I frowned: "There is a strong conflict with my opinion?" Bai Su tilted his head: "It's related to Hong Ling, but it doesn't conflict with your opinion." I watched her, trying to figure out what charades she was playing.But she avoided my eyes. I couldn't imagine what she was going to do, knowing that it was useless to ask, I tentatively asked: "I don't need to participate?" Bai Su refused firmly: "No need." I had no choice but to make a helpless gesture. At first, I wanted to tell her that if Wen Baoyu's situation didn't improve, I might hide him in Lanjiadong, but then I thought, Bai Su is already annoying enough, why bother adding more So she didn't talk about her troubles—this is the so-called "invisible diaphragm". Later, Bai Su acted according to her wishes, which was really beyond my expectation, and the result of her actions, even she herself had never expected.Of course, if she had told me at that time what she would do, I would not only object to it, but would destroy it. What happened later will naturally be described later. After breaking up with Bai Su, it was another series of flights. During the journey, what I thought about was naturally the development process of human civilization—or the assumptions made by Tie Tianyin and I. The emergence of the future world is a dead end for human beings. It is said that if human beings are really intelligent, they should not be at a dead end.But historical fact.What is happening now, and the foreseeable future trend, all prove that human beings are making great strides, marching bravely and aggressively towards the end. That is not the act of a highly intelligent creature, so the source of human "intelligence" is not only ambiguous, but also suspicious. trap! In a village by the Rhine River in Germany, I found my childhood friend Tiedan, and the two of us sat by a small lake fishing together—the purpose was to find a quiet and beautiful environment for chatting. I told him the conclusions I had thought during the journey, and he sat in a wheelchair, silent for a while, just looking at the sparkling lake. Although we have been separated for a long time, he knows a lot about my experience.His experience is well known to the whole world, so he does not need to introduce his life for many years, so he can have more time to express his feelings. After a while, until the fish had been hooked, he lifted the fishing rod lightly: "The fish are lured by the bait, and the situation is exactly the same as the human beings are lured into the trap by some bait." Although he was paralyzed, he was sitting in a wheelchair, and his hair was white, but when I first saw him, I could still feel his aura of galloping on the battlefield, leading the army, and charging into battle amidst the hail of bullets. But when he said those two sentences, I felt that he was a very tired person. I comforted him: "Now that you hide your name and don't care about world affairs, you can say that you have escaped the trap." General Tie let out a long sigh: "I am a person who died, so of course it is easy to see through, but there are also many people who can't see through until they die. The so-called "positive meaning of life", and those who have stepped out of the trap, life is the passing of the remaining time──That is a nice way of saying, to put it more directly, it is waiting to die .” His experience made him sigh, but I disagree: "In a situation like yours, you can just think, record what you think, and influence others." Tie Dan laughed loudly: "If you want me to be a sage, don't forget to abandon the sage and wisdom, so that human beings will not be at the mercy of others." I let out a long sigh, he lifted the fishing rod, took down the fish, threw it into the lake again, and turned his head: "Call Tianyin, this kid, oh." I laughed: "This kid is very good, you don't have to sigh because of him at all, I thought you really got out of the trap just now." Tiedan laughed too. On the phone with Tie Tianyin, I first asked: "How is the little girl?" Tie Tianyin's voice was bitter: "There is no improvement, and Wen Baoyu is also very difficult to hide." I could only smile wryly, but Tie Tianyin told me another unexpected news: "Mr. Taoge was found." I said "ah": "How is he...?" Tie Tianyin's answer was even more beyond my expectation: "A yacht rescued him on the sea, and he was still alive. I got a message to go see him. He said, he must meet you before he can come back." die." For a moment, I was speechless.As the saying goes: Hades is doomed to die by the third watch, who dares to keep someone until the fifth watch.Tao Ge has aged to such an extent, how can he control the time of his own death? I didn't respond immediately, Tie Tianyin probably knew what I was thinking, he said: "Mr. Tao Ge's situation is a bit strange, no matter what. You have to come back as soon as possible. He said that although he tried his best, he couldn't last long. I once contacted Miao Jiang, and Mrs. Zun said that you went to my father." I took a breath: "I just met your father──" Tie Tianyin interrupted me: "Please contact the airport and come as soon as possible. Tao Ge has something to tell you—he only wants to tell you." I sighed: "Okay." The result of contacting the airport is that there will be a flight in two hours, so my meeting with General Tie had to end early.Returning to his simple residence first, he poured two glasses of wine, one for each, and said, "Seeing how you are rushing around, I feel—" 他顿了一顿，我问：“是感到可怜还是可笑？” 铁口一举起了杯，长吟：“莫思身外无穷事。” 我把杯中的酒，一饮而尽，接了一句：“且尽生前有限杯。” 念着老杜的诗句，我们两人都有无限的感慨。可是感慨还感慨，该什么时候起飞的飞机，还是不会等人，我拥抱了这位退隐的大将军一下，就匆匆告辞。 在机场，我又和铁天音联络，告诉他我的行踪，铁天音也告诉我：“我通过关系，把陶格搬到我们的医院来了，他虚弱之极，可是还活着。” 陶格还活着，这确然出人意表。到了目的地，下机不久，就见到了铁天音，铁天音虽然行事老练镇定，可是这时。他也像是忍住了小便的孩子，在团团乱转，而且不时跳动，见了我之后，拉着我就奔：“快！快！陶格随时会死！” 他把车子驾得飞快，幸亏正当午夜，才能容他以这样的速度赶到医院去。 当他推开病房的门时，我抢步进去，看到床上的那个老人，和伊凡相比，实在很难分得出谁更老一些。 我一近床，他就睁开眼来，口唇颤动，说了一句话，声音十分低，可是听得清：“他们告诉我，你来了。” 我一时之间，也不明白这句话是什么意思，觉得他说的话，我可以听得懂，已经是上上大吉了。 我并不隐讳他快死的事实，所以催他：“你有什么话，要快点说，你时间不多了。” 陶格点头：“未来世界的主宰完了。” 未来世界完了。是怎么完的？是他们在万年之前布下的圈套有什么漏洞，还是它们自己犯了什么错误？ 这都是我急于想知道的问题，可是我不认为他还有时间去叙述。所以我做着手势：“你先说，它们为了未来世界的出现，布下了什么圈套？” 陶格的答案一出口，我和铁天音自然而然，扬掌互击了一下。陶格说的是：“它们使人有智能──” 他说的，正是我和铁天音的推论。不过，陶格继续所说的，也还有我们没有想到的情形。 他道：“它们在人类的遗传密码上做了手脚，使人类完全按照它们的安排发展，进化，并且总是有各种各样的罪恶出现，不定期地有可以役使成千上万人听命的暴君产生，发动大大小小的战争，就像是编剧和导演，在尽心尽力炮制一部电影，务求这电影紧张刺激残暴血腥色情曲折离奇古怪，好让未来世界的主宰，在回顾人类的历史中，得到高度的娱乐，看人类是如何地被摆布，如何愚蠢，如何冥顽不灵，身在圈套之中，全然不知。” 陶格先生一口气说到这里，气喘不已，我和铁天音听得目定口呆，全身透凉。 整个人类的命运，竟是如此悲惨，不但是未来世界幸存的一些人是玩具，根本整个人类的发展史，也是未来世界主宰的一种娱乐，难怪在人类的历史上有那么多荒诞得完全无从解释的行为，原来那全是未来世界主宰爱看的情节。 我只能极无力地说了一句：“可是……它们也完了。” 陶格喘着气：“它们完了，并不代表人重新成为世界的主宰……我把话说明了，卫斯理，你能尽力使人明白，有这样的事实在？” 我缓缓摇着头，表示我不能，我无能为力。 陶格长叹一声，闭上了眼睛：“我去了，他们正在等我哩。” 这已是他第二次说到“他们”了。我疾声问：“他们？他们是谁？” 陶格道：“伊凡、唐娜，和他们的妈妈……他们的灵魂在等我。” 我和铁天音互望了一眼，虽然陶格的话，意外之至，但我还是有了极快的反应：“如果你和唐娜的灵魂有接触，请她再进入那个女孩的脑部。” 陶格约有十秒钟左右没有回答，我又道：“如果你们愿意，我可以为你们找四个适合的身体，让你们仍然可以做人。” 陶格笑了起来：“不必了，使人贪恋生命，甚至一个阶段的生命结束之后，还要通过轮回，再来一遍，好让它们一遍又一遍地玩下去。不了，我们都不想再做人了。” 这个回答，又大大出乎意料之外，我不禁骇然自问：“难道连轮回这种情形，也属于圈套的范围？人在生，脱不出圈套，死了，灵魂也脱不出。” 这令人十分难以设想，我思绪紊乱，望着陶格。 陶格又隔了几秒钟，才道：“唐娜完全知道你的意思，可是她说，她不想和别人……不……别的灵魂去争。” 我听得莫名其妙：“什么意思？” 陶格道：“已经有一组记忆组，进入了那小女孩的脑部──这是唐娜说的，她说，她也不想再有形体，所以就不尝试了，她说，你能理解的。” 我不由自主，张大了口，还觉得我的呼吸困难。是的，我可以理解，陶格转述唐娜所说的话，我听得懂，有一个灵魂，已进入了陈安安的脑部。 也就是说，温宝裕的难题解决了。 当时，只想到了这一点。而陶格在长长吁了一口气之后，生命结束，铁天音拉起床单，盖住了他的脸。 铁天音有事要处理，我心急去看温宝裕，在走进大宅时，我忽然想起：进入了陈安安脑部的那一组记忆，本来是属于谁的？ 那是一个什么样的鬼魂，借了陈安安的身体还了阳？ 这种情形不但诡异，而且可怕──那灵魂可能属于一个千年老鬼，也可能属于一个十恶不赦的歹徒，当然也会是厌世自尽的痴男女，或者是从不知哪一层地狱之中脱身而出的冤鬼。 当我推开了门时，我看到的情景是，温宝裕神情欣喜，正在和陈安安说话，说的是：“我不理会你原来是什么孤魂野鬼，你现在是一个叫陈安安的小女孩，有很好的家庭，会有许多人都梦想不到的生活，你要好好地做好你这个新的角色。” 陈安安眨着眼，温宝裕说完了话，才转过头来看我，就在那一剎间，我看到在陈安安的脸上，现出了一个狡诈阴森至极的神情，虽然那种神情，只是一闪而过，可是也使我感到了一股寒意。 温宝裕没有看到，他兴奋得胀红了脸，大声道：“我一直在用我的方法招魂，原来并不困难，我想，扶乩和碟仙，都可以请到鬼魂，我一定也请得到的，果然，有了信心，就会成功，你看，我可以交差了。” 他手舞足蹈地说着，又拉了陈安安，来到了我的面前，陈安安十分柔顺，看来是一个乖女孩。 可是，我忘不了刚才她现出的那种可怕的神情。 温宝裕道：“看来她很聪明，我教她认识她的父母，教她适应她的新生活，她都能领会。” 我吸了一口气，温宝裕这小子，可能还不知道自己做了什么事，当然，他可以向陈氏夫妇交代了。 那时，安安来到我的身前，叫了我一声：“卫叔叔。” 我蹲了下来，盯着她看，她也回望着我，目光之中，有着小女孩不应有的镇定。 我一字一顿地问她：“你是什么人？” 她一字一顿回答我：“我是陈安安。” 我没来由──不，大有来由地感到了一股寒意。 (full text)
