Chapter 8 Chapter 7 The Alien Problem

The man in white just said: "We will guide you to look at some things to see how you react after seeing these things. I must remind you that when you see those things, you don't have to remember them carefully, because no matter how much memory you have Well, we all have a way to make your memory disappear." I very much agree with what the man in white said, because they do have a special method that can destroy people's memory.I've lost my day, and I have absolutely no way of knowing what I've experienced in my lost day. That special method of erasing memories, and my sudden arrival at this mysterious place, all of this shows that they have superhuman abilities!

From these points, it seems more and more possible that they are not earthlings. I stayed for a long time before I said, "What do you want me to see?" The body of the man in white swayed: "That's a radio telefax. It happened in a fairly large area of ​​the earth. You may be familiar with these things." I was baffled by what the man in white said. I said, "Please be clear. At the same time, you still haven't answered my question: where are you from?" The man in white shook his head again: "It's meaningless, please don't ask any more."

I said loudly: "In my opinion, this question is very meaningful, so I have to ask!" When I got to this point, I paused for a while, and then strengthened my tone: "Where do you come from? I thought, you are not creatures on earth!" The man in white laughed, but he didn't know what his laughter meant. He insisted on not answering me, and it was difficult for me to ask any more. After a moment of silence, he said: "Would you like to accept my invitation to see some things that happened on Earth?" When he said this, I was just thinking in my heart, it doesn't matter if you don't answer, I can slowly find out where you come from while I am in contact with you.

To find out where this mysterious man in white came from, and to get news about Paul and Batu, of course I had to pretend to be very cooperative with this guy, so I nodded: "Okay, let's go and see, we How to get there? By plane, or by submarine?" "No, it's right here. We have a TV, a huge TV screen, which makes you feel like you are in the scene. The only shortcoming is that there is no sound." To watch something, watch TV?" The man in white nodded and said, "Yes." I asked again: "Is what is shown on TV the situation in every place in the world?"

The answer of the man in white is still very simple: "It can be said that it is so." I quickly thought about this question: How did they make the TV receivers they set up here see all parts of the world? According to the method on the earth (I have already assumed that they are not earthlings), then, TV camera stations and broadcasting towers must be generally set up all over the world, and the broadcast must also be broadcast by artificial satellites. location, to watch the situation in a fixed place in the world. It would be terrible if people from another planet could set up television transmission stations everywhere on the earth, and the people on the earth still don't know anything about it!

The man in white said: "Please follow me." He walked forward, and I followed behind. When I came to the snow-white wall, I reached out and touched the wall to determine the texture of this white building material. But I couldn't come to a conclusion. It seemed to be something completely new. It felt warm and smooth, like a piece of glass that had just been soaked in warm water.When I touched the wall, the man in white said coldly: "You seem very curious?" "Of course, in such a mysterious place, no one will not be curious." "Your words are a little too much," the white-clothed man disagreed, "There are more people who are not curious at all after they come here, and are so scared that they are completely wooden."

I shrugged and didn't express my opinion on what he said.Naturally, there are all kinds of people in the world. Some people think that they are afraid and compromise can solve the problem, while others stick to their beliefs and bravely fight against adversity. Everyone has his own free choice, so why argue? The man in white stretched out his hand and pressed against the wall. He was wearing white gloves on his hand. When he stretched out his hand to press the wall, I noticed a white light above his middle finger, which suddenly appeared, flashed and then went out. At one point, a secret door on the wall opened. The person then walked to the door.

I was still following behind him. Outside the door was a hall, everything was white. In the center of the hall was a very thick column. The man in white led me until I came to the pillar, with a "swipe" sound, The cylinder opened a semi-cylindrical door, the man in white walked in, and I also walked in, standing side by side with him inside the cylinder. Then, the door closed, and I felt as if I was descending, and the inside of the column was silvery white. After I left the eatery in Puna and came here, everything I saw was white, which made me ask: "It seems that you like white very much."

The man in white smiled and said, "You won't understand." At this time, the feeling of descending stopped, and the door opened again, and I entered a huge lobby. The lobby is like a railway station in a big city, with all white sides on top and bottom, except for the side facing me, which is a rectangle about ten feet high and twenty feet wide, which is silver-gray—— is the only thing I see that isn't white. In the lobby, there are seven same men in white, sitting in front of a huge console, which looks like an extremely complicated computer, with thousands of various buttons on it.There are also many small lights that emit white light, flickering on and off.

The seven white-clothed men didn't turn their heads, but just worked on their own. The white-clothed man who led me led me to a sofa: "Please sit down." I sat down, and after I sat down, I was facing the big silver gray.At this time, I suddenly remembered that this is a TV screen—such a huge TV screen. The man in white stood beside me: "Please look carefully, and then, please cooperate and explain some of our problems, because you are the most daring person we have met so far." I immediately asked tentatively, "Where are my friends, Batu and Paul?" The man in white faltered: "They are very good, but our main problem needs to be solved by you, because you..." He paused for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say, and then said: "Because of you Some of the questions that have expressed the greatest doubts to us may be more familiar."

Naturally, I don't know what his words mean, because I don't know what his so-called "questions" are! The man in white raised his hand and said, "It's started!" Before he could say a word, I suddenly felt dazzled in front of my eyes. In the large silver gray, I suddenly saw gorgeous colors, and the fidelity of the colors was so high. I saw the blue sky and white clouds. , Then, I saw thousands of men and women in gorgeous clothes. It was a huge football field, and a football game, obviously very exciting, was going on. I calmed down, and I immediately suspected that they were playing a set of documentary films, because everything I saw was so real, so clear, and even had a three-dimensional effect, so that I asked in an instant, as if I were It's the same on the pitch. But when I looked around, I couldn't see any movie projection equipment. When I wanted to find it again, the man in white beside me said: "This is the Sao Paulo Stadium in Brazil. Look! Look!" The voice I gave him made him turn his head away.Indeed, that was South America. Because only football fans in South America will have such a crazy look during a football match. Regardless of whether they were male or female, they were all screaming and waving their hands. As the man in white said: Unfortunately, there is no sound. I see that the camera is constantly changing, sometimes I see the panorama of the stadium, some are close-ups of the players, but more are the audience. After I watched it for about ten minutes, it happened. It happened out of the blue, as if one of the two teams scored a goal in this match, but it was later ruled invalid by the referee-I can't be very sure about this, because I didn't know it at all beforehand. I knew it was going to happen, so I didn't notice it. I just saw that first the game stopped, and then the crowd rushed to the field, and then I saw a large group of policemen rushing in. Next thing happened.And by "things" I mean the frantic fight.Between spectators and spectators, spectators and players, spectators and policemen, a scuffle began.Tens of thousands of people are like crazy, some people do not participate in the fight, just screaming straight out of their throats, most of these people are women. I saw a football riot! In South America, football riots are not special news, but reading the news about football riots in newspapers is different from what we see with our own eyes. Tongue-struck, hard to breathe. I don't even understand how all this was filmed, because I also saw two middle-aged people being pushed to the ground, and thousands of people stepped on them, leaving their faces covered with flesh and blood A blur.I also saw a young man who was only fourteen or fifteen years old being stabbed vigorously with a small knife. It was the same young man who stabbed him, knife after knife, as if treating the stabbed as a delicious steak.I even saw scenes of gang fights, where people attacked each other with their hands, feet, head, and mouth like mad dogs. I watched for half an hour before I saw the helicopter flying in. Thick smoke was sprayed from the helicopter. The crowd began to disperse, but they still gathered in piles, destroying everything that could be seen in the places they passed. Destroying things, yelling. On the court, what was left was one corpse after another, and some corpses were so badly wounded that it was impossible to identify the original person. The number of corpses is at least two hundred or more.When I saw this, the man in white raised his hand, everything in front of me disappeared, and it returned to a silver gray, but because everything was so surprising, I still sat there blankly. After a while, I heard the man in white say: "We would like to ask, why do people who are looking for entertainment kill each other? Why do they kill each other? They are all human!?" I smiled bitterly: "Of course they are all human." "Then, please answer me, why?" "You saw that too, I think, because there were protests against the referee's decision." "Then, is there no other way but to bleed?" At this time, I was even more sure that these people in white clothes were not from the earth, and because of this, I felt that I had the obligation to defend the earth, so I said: "You should know that sometimes it is difficult to express human emotions. In a football game, there must be opposing sides, and everyone on each side hopes that the side they support will win." "That's not going to use force. Let the team rely on their own skills to decide the outcome fairly." "Of course that's the best way, but sometimes, some small problems will lead to disputes, and in the midst of emotional agitation, disputes may turn into violence." The man in white sneered: "Friends, as usual Judging from your conclusions, the earthlings are actually a very low-level creature, because the earthlings cannot control themselves at all." When I heard the man in white say this, I was naturally very unhappy, but it was hard for me to refute him, because what I just said could indeed lead to such a conclusion, so I just asked: "Then what about you? Are you a higher creature?" The man in white avoided answering my question, but continued to attack the earthlings: "Earthlings are inferior, a kind of extreme inferiority that is almost idiotic. For the sake of winning or losing a ball game, they can turn into such a cruel Massacre, this kind of action is really an idiot action." I stood up: "Sir, the place we saw just now is South America, and the ethnicity is the most impulsive. How can you generalize?" The man in white was "looking" at me. Of course I couldn't see his eyes, because there was a piece of milky white glass in his eyes, but I could really feel that he was looking at me. After a long while, he said: "Okay, then let's look at other places, to see what is happening in a place that is famous all over the world for its civilization and profoundness." Before I agreed, he said again: "Please sit down, please sit down and appreciate it slowly." I sneered angrily, and sat down facing my huge TV screen again. Shiny lines began to shake in the screen, and suddenly, the picture appeared. I am familiar with the pictures that appeared on the TV. I immediately saw that it was a corner of the most beautiful city in the world. The exquisite and splendid buildings have a history of nearly a thousand years.I am very satisfied, because the man in white called this place a "civilized and profound" famous place, and this city is of course the most civilized city in the world! I was a little complacent: "Look, the people here are definitely very different from the people you saw just now, you—" Before I finished speaking, I saw a large group of people rushing over.The large group of people, all dressed in gray or blue, looked at first glance like a large swarm of gray locusts, as they came in groups. I was stunned for a while, and I felt that my words were a bit untenable, because from the actions and expressions of the large group of people with excellent cultural traditions, there was no sign of civilization at all. They rushed over, wantonly destroying the buildings along the way, smashing the most exquisite works of art like rotten eggs.They were still dancing and shouting. Just like before, I still couldn't hear what they were shouting and dancing, but judging by the way they were foaming, they were undoubtedly bewitched, or, as the man in white said, they were " Low to the point of being almost an idiot" creature! I opened my mouth wide and gasped for breath. At this moment, a close-up shot of a young man appeared on the TV screen. He was probably only seventeen or eighteen years old. Muscles were beating on his malnourished face. He was yelling at the top of his lungs, as if he was shouting a slogan. But it was evident from the epileptic look on his face that he had no idea what he was shouting about.And this man must have never brushed his teeth, because when he opened his mouth, there were disgusting yellow stains on his teeth! I raised my hand and said, "Don't look at it! Don't look at it!" As soon as I yelled, the screen returned to a piece of silvery white, and I took a breath: "Look again, look again." I stopped just now, there is really a reason, because the appearance of those people is really disgusting, they don't look like people at all, but just like a group... Well, it's really indescribable, or only "almost idiotic low The phrase "waiting for creatures" is enough to describe them. But I have to watch it again to see what else they will do. And, I think, in a place with such a long civilization, someone must come out to stop this kind of thing.I hope that the situation when I saw the stadium riot just now is the same. I hope that this kind of crazy action will be stopped soon, then I can at least tell the man in white that this is just a small group of scum—the scum of human beings. However, what I expected didn't happen. On the contrary, what I saw was more and more people like locusts. The places they passed through were more destructive than locusts. Finally, a fight broke out. They began to divide into two factions, and then divided into seven or eight. Pie, dozens of factions, they fight aimlessly. The methods they used were ugly, and it was hard to see. I saw a slender young man, his clothes were relatively neat, and his expression was very serious, without any look of madness. However, this young man was dragged over by seventeen or eight lunatics. Those lunatics pressed the young man's hand to the ground and trampled on it vigorously until they broke the young man's fingers together. At that time, the painful and resentful expression on that young man's face is something I will never forget in my life. I turned my head away, unable to bear to watch any more.Crazy, there is a world of lunatics, lunatics can run rampant, while normal people suffer from torture, how can I continue to watch? The voice of the man in white rang in my ears again: "This is a place with a long tradition of civilization, isn't it?" I didn't answer it because it was an unquestionable question. The man in white said again: "But have you seen those people? Aren't they extremely low-energy creatures? Aren't they low-energy almost like idiots? They really haven't completed the creation of higher creatures!" I still didn't answer, because I had to agree with the man in white in my heart. The man in white said again: "Do you agree with my conclusion?" I shook my head with great difficulty, even though I agreed with the conclusion of the people in white to that group of people in my heart, but I had to shake my head because I am a member of the Earth people! The man in white laughed: "You don't have to defend the people on Earth, haha, you—" I said angrily, "What's so funny?" The man in white stopped making a sound, and I could feel him looking at me again. After a while, he said again: "I'm sorry, I forgot another weakness of the earthlings." I snapped, "What is that?" The man in white said: "If you don't mind, I will tell you. We found that people on Earth like to cover up their weaknesses and laugh at their weaknesses, which can often cause great tragedy." I didn't make a sound, just sighed in my heart. Isn't that so?The man in white seems to know enough about the people on Earth, but I still don't know anything about them. I slowly said: "It seems that you don't need to ask me any more questions, because you already know enough!" The man in white still refused to give up, and asked me further: "Then, as an earthling, you have already admitted my conclusion: earthlings are very low-level creatures!" I frowned: "This theory itself is illogical. Low and high are comparative. On earth, humans are the highest creatures, but in the entire vast and boundless universe, earth people may be very low." , you can’t say high class!” Not only am I defending the people on Earth, but I also directly point out that the man in white is not from Earth. The man in white didn't deny it, but he didn't agree with what I said. He just laughed a few times: "I totally disagree with what you said. Even on earth, people are extremely low." I paused every word, and said, "You, Hu, say it!" "Not at all!" The man in white spread his hands, "You might as well think about it, what kind of creature on the earth would continue to carry out such ugly cannibalism?" His hand pointed to the TV screen again. So, I saw a series of shots of human beings killing each other.I saw the continuous bombardment, and the blood and flesh of the people under the artillery fire, and I also saw the dull and expressionless face of the gunner. I also saw that many people in rags were fighting each other. They used various methods to put each other to death, and after the other party was killed, they would goug out each other's eyes. , or hang the other party's body on the pole. Both the slaughterer and the slaughtered had crazy expressions on their faces. I saw tens of thousands of tons of grain being abandoned, and I saw thousands of skinny and hungry people struggling on the verge of death. How long it took for all of this, even I can't tell myself, what I saw is undoubtedly the truth. However, as a member of the people on earth, I cannot accept that extremely ugly fact, but I can't stop watching it, because all this is too shocking. When I finally woke up like a dream and my whole body shook, it was when the man in white asked me "how do you feel?"It took me a while before I could answer him: "But you can't deny that in the thousands of years of human history, although there has been continuous killing, there has also been continuous progress!" The man in white shook his head and said, "I never thought you would be so ignorant of common sense. Due to the inferiority of human nature, the progress of people on Earth has been delayed by at least tens of thousands of times. You often praise Einstein and think that he is the best among you." A great scientist, but if Einstein died under gunfire when he was a child, the progress of the earth people would of course be delayed. In fact, Einstein is just one of thousands of geniuses, It’s just the one that survived! People on Earth want to make progress, but at the same time, they are slaughtering people who may be geniuses in the future!” I was almost completely defeated by the man in white, but of course I was still unwilling to admit defeat, so I said loudly: "Then do you think that the civilization of the people on Earth is worthless?" The man in white said decisively: "No!" I blinked, trying to refute him. But the man in white didn't wait for me to open his mouth, and said again: "The highest purpose of living beings is to survive, just like prolonging life. How to live well is the highest purpose. However, the civilization of people on earth is based on how to destroy life. Purpose. You have destructive weapons capable of destroying life on Earth, but so far, you have no effective defense against the most common disease—the common cold!" I became really speechless, because what the man in the clothes said was irrefutable. For the most common diseases, all we have are various "special medicines", but each of us has a cold, and we can also know what these "special medicines" are all about! Earthlings are such creatures, how can they argue with the man in white? Five minutes after I didn't make a sound, the man in white said, "Thank you for your cooperation." I had to protest: "I haven't worked with you guys before." The man in white said: "We have cooperated, we came to the earth, researched and collected data, and worked for nearly half a year, but we still couldn't come to a definite conclusion, but because of you, we came to the conclusion that the people on earth are despicable , inferior creatures." I hurriedly said, "After reaching this conclusion, what are you going to do?" The man in white laughed and said, "This preliminary conclusion leads to a further conclusion, that is: Even if there is no external force, the people on earth will kill each other sooner or later due to their bad nature, and there will be no one left. It is a natural extended conclusion!" What I asked was still the same sentence, I asked: "What are you going to do?" "We plan to—" The man in white spread his hands again, "We have a way to make you lose your memory, so we might as well tell you that we are going to end the ugly actions of the people on Earth early, that is to say, we want to launch an action, Destroy all Earthlings." The threat of advanced organisms on other planets to the earth is not an issue that no one has raised before, and the people on earth could have worked hard to deal with this threat. But the people on earth are not like this, they are keen to kill each other, and now, this threat really came.
