Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Unanswerable Questions

The glass cover covers an instrument. It's hard for me to describe the exact shape of the instrument. Generally speaking, it looks like an electronic computer, but it has many semicircular things like ordinary rice bowls, which are slowly turning. Batu went all the way to the front of the glass cover: "Is this it?" As he spoke, he tapped the glass cover with his fingers, making a "dede" sound, and asked, "Why is it covered with a cover?" The man in white said: "Because I am afraid that something will hit the controller. Once it hits, the shock of the universe may have something to do with the spaceship, and the spaceship may be included in the orbit of the shock."

"Then you can't go back, can you? Haha!" The man in white also laughed and said, "That's not true. The flying ship will land on our planet. Then, our planet can send a new ship to pick us up." "I see!" Batu walked around the glass The cover kept turning, as if he was very excited about this instrument. He not only looked at it by himself, but also pulled me to look at it together. While watching, he uttered many words of admiration, and he further said insincerely: "It's really progress, people on earth can't match it!" Then, he pointed to a white handle on the instrument, and said, "I guess this one must be controlled by the master, right?"

The "man in white" seemed to be happy because he heard Batu's admiration, so his voice was very relaxed: "Yes, I will take you to visit other settings." "Okay, okay." Batu suddenly became very cooperative. "Oh, you don't understand yet, it has no power, and the cosmic shock will make it move forward." "Damn it," Batu scolded, "if it stops here, will the cosmic shock take it away?" "Yes, we have instruments that can control it, and it can leave the earth at any time." The "man in white" gave another unexpected answer.

Batu's resentment has disappeared, and he seems to be very interested in this question: "We are invited to visit, so, I hope to see that instrument, the instrument that controls the oscillation of the universe." "OK." The "man in white" turned around and walked forward, while Batu and I were still following behind him.When Batu asked to see the instrument that controls the vibration of the universe, I already knew that he must be thinking something in his heart. Sure enough, we just took a step side by side, and he touched my body with his elbow. I turned my head to look at him, and saw his expression was very solemn.

I stayed for a while.Because Batu is a person who doesn't care about the sky falling, I have known him for a long time, and I have never seen such a serious expression on his face. Moreover, just when I opened my mouth to ask him, he said first: "Don't ask me anything." Naturally, I didn't make a sound. Since he told me not to ask, he naturally had his reasons.The "man in white" led us through many corridors before we came to a room. After the door of that room was pushed open, there was a rather large glass cover inside the door. The man in white was still walking in front, and Batu said a word to me in a very low voice.I did hear him say a word to me, his voice was very low, but I just didn't understand what he was saying.

I stayed for a while, and he said that sentence again. This time I understood it. What Batu was speaking to me at this time was Daur, a language belonging to the Mongolian language family. This language is only used by Daur Mongols, and other Mongols can’t understand it. Batu has Mongolian blood, and he has a very superb study of various Mongolian languages.And I am very proficient in many local languages, of course I can talk to him. Because he had been speaking English all the time, he suddenly said a sentence in Daur, so I couldn't change my mind for a while. When he said it for the second time, I naturally understood it.

He's asking me, "You know what I'm thinking of?" After I understood this sentence, the following is a series of conversations between me and him: "I don't know, what did you think of?" "I have a way to save the planet." "What way, tell me quickly." "Didn't you hear what he just said? There are no bacteria on their planet. If I go to their planet, it will be the incarnation of thousands of death." "Yes, you mean—" "I go!" "you go?" "Yes, they want to immigrate to the earth because there are too many of them. After I go, the countless bacteria that I will bring will surely cause the death of many people on their planet!"

"I'm afraid I can't. They are on the earth, and they have to come into contact with bacteria. Why don't they die?" "That may be because they have received preventive injections. On their own planet, they have already eliminated bacteria. Naturally, there will be no preventive work, just like us, there will never be equipment to prevent dinosaurs !" "But how do you get there?" "That spaceship, I think I can squeeze in. As soon as I squeeze in, you smash the glass cover, and I'm off." "Then how did you come back?" I asked Batu.

"Me? I didn't expect to come back." Our conversation came to an end here. After I heard Batu's words, I realized that his solemn and solemn demeanor was due to his decision to sacrifice. After a while, he said to me again: "What I'm thinking about now is just a question, I hope you can help me answer it!" My mind was so confused that I didn't even speak up. But Batu ignored my non-answer, and still said: "I was just thinking, what they said is very reasonable, people on earth are indeed despicable and selfish, and people on earth are also walking on the road of self-destruction, am I right? Is it worth saving Earthlings?"

I can say that this question is extremely difficult to answer. If I say it's worth it, then I undoubtedly encourage Batu to make sacrifices without returning.If I say it's not worth it, don't I mean that people on Earth deserve to die, and there's no need to try to save people on Earth from the crisis? I smiled wryly and remained silent. Batu clenched his fists tightly: "Answer me, am I worth doing that!" I still didn't make a sound, and after a while, I said: "Batu, your question makes it too difficult for me to answer." He nodded, "Yes, I know."

After a pause, he suddenly said: "But, I have decided to do this." I looked at him in surprise: "Why? Have you already figured out the problem in your mind?" Batu said slowly: "I think I've figured it out. I thought that although many people on Earth are extremely vulgar and shameless, why don't they have noble and intelligent ones?" I didn't say anything. Batu continued: "Think about it, the civilization of the earth for thousands of years can be said to be a record of the struggle between wisdom and stupidity, justice and evil. This kind of battle is going on in every corner of the earth, even in every corner of the earth. It is going on in the heart of man. When the battle is going on, if I conclude that evil must win, isn't that too arbitrary?" Batu's words made me excited, and I hurriedly said: "Batu, you come to master the control device, and I will go to their planet!" Batu shook his head slowly: "Of course not, you worry too much, you have a wife, and I'm just a person, my origin is unknown, I have no worries!" In my heart, I felt unspeakable sadness, and my throat seemed to be blocked by something. Finally, I said: "Batu, give up your idea, your idea is a fool's idea." Batu actually nodded and admitted: "Yes, my idea is a fool's idea, but do you have any better ideas than my fool's idea? I don't think you have any." The "man in white" in front of us turned around: "What are you talking about?" I suddenly said: "We are discussing a mouse, do you know that there is such an animal on earth?" The voice of the "man in white" was somewhat strange: "Of course I know, this is an extremely terrifying animal──What do you mean when you talk about mice?" Batu and I glanced at each other, because we both recognized the strangeness in the voice of the "man in white". So I pretended to be very calm, and I said: "It's nothing, it's just that we just saw a mouse running past, and we were wondering." Before my words were formally finished, something unexpected happened to me.Of course I didn't see any rats, and the reason why I said this was to try to see how the "man in white" would react to the rats. But I never expected the reaction to come so quickly and so strongly! The body of the "white-clothed man" suddenly went up and flew up. It really flew. In fact, their "white-clothed" is a universal flying bag with various buttons inside. manipulate it for various purposes. However, he immediately fell down. With a very quick movement, he stretched out his "hand" to hold the arms of the two of us, and said in a voiceless voice: "Really? But really?" Batu immediately winked at me: "I was wrong, I kicked a stone, it looks like a mouse!" I hastily said, "Exactly, the light is not strong enough, and what's more, it's all white, which irritates the eyelids and creates hallucinations." The "man in white" let go of us, stood still for a while, and then turned around.I tentatively asked: "You seem to have special... dissatisfaction with mice, don't you?" I was going to say "special fear," but after thinking about it, I decided it would be better to say "dissatisfaction." The "man in white" was very frank: "Yes, but in fact we don't have to be afraid of it. Our protective cover can prevent the invasion of any harmful objects." Batu then asked: "Then, why are you afraid of mice?" The "man in white" said: "It's not that I'm afraid of the mice themselves, but the bacteria that live on the mice. Many bacteria are found in every mouse—no matter what kind of mice, and those bacteria have been found for many years. Caused mass death on our planet before, almost extinct us! Bacteria can disable the main auxin in our body within a second, which is too fast to defend against!" Batu and I looked at each other again. The "mouse" I suddenly thought of had such an unexpected effect! I asked again, "So, how did you stop the rampant activity of the bacteria?" "The man in white" said: "First of all, it is the protective cover, just like the one on me, but the shape is different. The one on our body is made according to the appearance of the people on the earth. The protective cover allows us to preserve one percent of the human body." , and then we use a kind of ray to destroy the bacteria. We are on the earth and dare not be exposed to the air. Before we eliminate the harmful bacteria on the earth, we can only show our bodies in the sea water for a while. Our comrades dragged into the air by you will be harmed, but fortunately the air at sea is very clean, so you will not be murderers." Batu couldn't help laughing: "So you are so weak!" "You are wrong, we have defeated bacteria." "But you still have to put your protective shields on everyone." "That's because we are on the earth. Do you think we are on our own planet, and that's the same?" The "man in white" said this, and opened another door, allowing us to see the scientific instruments and equipment in this room. But Batu and I are no longer interested in those weird instruments. Because at this time, we have already come to a conclusion, that is: as long as we can send a mouse to their planet, then we can cause great damage to these octopus-like advanced creatures! But the difficulty we face is: where do we go to get a mouse? Batu was obviously also at the same time, thinking of this question, he touched me lightly: "Maybe we leave for a few days and then come back?" I said: "Catch a mouse and come back again? I don't think it's possible, I think—" When I said the word "I think", I really didn't think of anything. However, as soon as those two words came out of my mouth, I suddenly remembered. I hurriedly stepped forward and said to the "man in white": "We have visited many of your facilities, but we have never seen your impact on the creatures on the earth." Research, don't you guys do the work?" My hope is: if his answer is "yes", then he will take us to this kind of laboratory. There are a few mice in it, and there is nothing particularly surprising.Then, we can use our brains to steal a mouse and use it in the laboratory. However, the answer of the "man in white" disappointed me. He said: "Of course there is, but this kind of research work is carried out in situ, and it has come to an end now!" I was very disappointed, so I had to try Batu's proposal again: "Then, I would like to know one thing. What is the purpose of you leading us to visit your equipment?" The "man in white" stood still: "I think after you see our strength, you should give up the idea of ​​stopping us." I said coldly: "If you think that we will just sit and wait to die, that would be too ridiculous!" The "man in white" said: "In fact, you must do so. If you want to launch a large-scale attack on us after you leave here, it will be tantamount to forcing us to take early action against the earthlings. Because of the perfect method of destroying the earthlings, It is still in the research stage, so the result of implementing it in advance will cause the earth people to suffer greatly!" As he spoke, he pushed open another door and said, "Please take a look here." This room is very large, at least about 3,000 square feet. In the room, there are many silver-white pipes leading upwards, passing through the ceiling, and leading to nowhere. And at the base of those tubes was a huge sphere about seven feet in diameter. Both Batu and I were puzzled, and asked in unison, "What is this?" "This is the weapon that we can use to wipe out all the people on Earth at this stage. As long as we press a button in our main control room, a large amount of radiation will spread around the world. It is like everyone is at the same primary level. Just like the vicinity of the atomic bomb explosion, you will be burned by the radiation, and you will suffer great pain and die!" Before I said anything, the "man in white" said again: "And you two, if you don't act rashly, then I can assure you that you don't need this method, and a painless method can definitely be researched. , if you don’t believe it, why don’t you see how a mouse dies in this painful situation of radiation?” A mouse!This time, it was me and Batu who called out. "Yes, why are you so surprised?" "Oh, it's nothing," I hurriedly concealed, "I thought there shouldn't be any rats here." "We are just experimenting with rats. In fact, we can experiment with people on earth, but we don't want people on earth to suffer more. Please believe in our kindness to people on earth—humans on earth , will finally be wiped out in cannibalism, in the great pain from which we can spare the people of Earth." To be honest, it is absolutely impossible for us to believe their "goodwill" towards the people on earth, so we didn't comment at all, just said: "We are willing to see the painful death of mice." The "man in white" said: "Okay, please come in." He walked towards the middle of the room, stood still, and then, must have passed the control button in the "white clothes", he operated, and on the ground, a square console rose up. On that console, there was a rather large glass box, and in that glass box, there were about twenty black mice with thick and shiny tails, big and fat bodies, and they were the most impressive of all the mice. The kind that people hate. When I saw those mice, I laughed: "How did you catch these mice?" "The man in white" said: "These are all earthlings hired by us, who accepted our orders and captured them for us." The "man in white" turned his head and looked at me again: "We are inside the protective cover, and we are not afraid of anything." I said: "Of course, you don't have to think that I will bring up a mouse to scare you, but I want to check these mice first, lest you give the mouse some poison first, and then exaggerate the power of the radiation." The "man in white" hesitated for a moment: "Okay." I went forward, and when I asked to "check" the mice, I decided to steal one.There are more than 20 mice in this glass box, some are crowded together, and some are running up and down. I don't believe that I will be discovered by the "man in white" after I steal one. Before I came to the console, the lid of the glass box opened automatically. I reached in, and the mice in the box shrank to a corner. I wondered why they didn’t jump out. After a while, finally, I caught one of the smaller ones. My body is leaning against the glass box. If I lift the mouse out of the glass box, the "man in white" won't be able to see it, but after I lift it out, where should I put it? I thought about it for a while, and turned my body slightly. At that time, Batu and I were still wearing the rubber jackets we wore when diving. Most of these rubber jackets had two pockets on the side of the body.One is for sharp knives, for when you encounter sharks or other nasty things while diving, and the other is quite large, for sundries. I've already figured out which bag to put the mouse in, it really fits perfectly. After I turned to one side, I stuffed the mouse into the rubber bag very quickly, then, I took a step back and said, "I checked, and all the mice are as healthy as me!" When I retreated, the "man in white" stepped forward and walked over. I came to Batu's side, and Batu blinked at me: "Successful?" I said, "I got it." Batu hurriedly said: "Give it to me, I'll put it in the spaceship first, and then you can try to launch the rocket." I shook my head and said, "I'll put it away." When I think "I'll put it away," I'm definitely not trying to avoid danger, because putting a mouse in a rocket or sneaking a controller is really difficult and dangerous. At this time, the reason why I wanted to put the mouse into the spaceship was because I didn't want to transfer the mouse and attract the attention of the man in white.Batu didn't object to my opinion, he said: "Then you go." I was a little embarrassed: "What excuse do you use to leave?" Batu said: "Pee!" I was stunned for a while, it was almost child's play! However, this is indeed a good excuse for me to leave temporarily. So, I said loudly: "Batu, you stay here and watch those mice, I'll go out once." The "man in white" asked immediately, "Where are you going?" I smiled very calmly, and said, "I think you haven't done enough research on earthlings. Where do you want me to go? I don't think you have toilets here." The "man in white" didn't say anything, and I just walked away.As soon as I got out of this room, I immediately quickened my pace. I hurried forward along the passage. I didn't meet anyone. There were only eight of them here, and these people must be busy with their own affairs. worked, so I didn't run into a single one. When I finally came to the flying object, my heart was beating wildly. Whether our plan can be completed depends entirely on whether I can put the mouse into the flying object! I turned around the flying body first, and found a door that could be opened at one end. I fumbled on the door and pressed a few triggers.As I pressed the third button, the door swung open. At this time, my heart became even more nervous. When I reached into my bag, I couldn't seem to catch the mouse. I tried my best to calm down, and finally squeezed the mouse to squeal, then put it into the flying body, closed the door, and quickly moved forward and ran out. As I ran out, I made a loud noise and shouted, "Batu, Batu!" I want Batu to know that my action has been completed! I heard Batu's answer, and while I was running forward and shouting, several doors opened, and among the opened doors, there were "men in white clothes" standing at the door and looking at me. I had to create a chance for Batu, I jumped and screamed, I looked like a native Central American wizard, I rolled on the ground, making all kinds of weird sounds and weird movements. Those "men in white clothes" standing at the door were attracted by me, and they stopped standing at the door, but walked towards me. They surrounded me, and I rolled and counted their number. There are a total of six men in white beside me. There were eight of them in total, and one of them was being treated and recuperated probably because Batu and I dragged him out of the air.And there was another one, of course the one who accompanied Batu. I have to keep up my weird moves until that one comes too.I jumped up and rushed towards a "man in white", I hooked my arms around the "neck" of the "man in white", put my feet on his "body", and kicked vigorously. I still keep making horrible weird noises. This phenomenon lasted for about two minutes, and the "man in white" I was expecting came.It seemed that among the eight white-clothed men, only one could talk to us. He arrived and shouted, "Stop, stop, what are you doing, stop!" I jumped down and panted: "What are you afraid of? I can't hurt you. You want to destroy all the people on Earth. Are you afraid of me instead? It's ridiculous!" The "man in white" walked forward: "Okay, you can go back. Before you leave here, I must remind you one more thing. I hope you will not forget what I just told you. Don't force us to take extreme measures." I said "ah": "I forgot, I haven't seen what kind of pain your so-called extreme methods can cause!" As soon as I finished this sentence, I heard a "beat" sound, which was passed on.Following the explosion, there was a very strange cracking sound. Then, behind me, in the direction of the cave from which I had just come, came a startling tremor. That vibration gave people a very special feeling, it made no sound, I can swear that there was no sound at all, but it was an extremely violent shock, and my body was almost unsteady because of it! And those seven "men in white clothes" also shook their bodies, and the "men in white clothes" let out an extremely angry voice.They coincidentally moved forward quickly, towards the cave where the accident happened. I was stunned for a while, and I stood upright. I saw Batu running towards me, and I rushed to meet him. Batu's expression was extremely flustered. When he saw me, he said, "What's the matter? What's the matter?" ?” I hurriedly replied: "I think we have succeeded, how about you?" Ba Zhi said, "Let's try to get out of here quickly." I said, "Are you injured?" Batu shook his head, but he looked like he was injured, but judging from the speed he was running forward, he didn't look like he was injured. I followed behind him, Run to one end of the corridor. We quickly reached the end of the passage, where there was a door, and Batu and I pulled it open together, but it was not the exit we imagined, but another silver-white room. At this time, the voices from those "people in white clothes" had already been transmitted, and we had no choice but to hide for a while. Therefore, I immediately closed the door, and Batu was wandering around in the room, and I couldn't help asking: "Batu, what's the matter?" Batu smiled bitterly and said, "Just now, the moment I blew up the glass cover and pressed the control button of the cosmic shock, I thought I would never see you again!" I know that Batu must have experienced extraordinary adventures, but it was only such a short time before and after, what exactly did he experience?I am really puzzled. However, before I could ask, I heard the voice of the "man in white" coming from outside the door.The voice of the "man in white" was very angry, and we could all hear him say: "Go away! We really don't want to see such despicable creatures like you again!" I immediately said: "We also want to leave, but how do we leave?" The "man in white" said: "You press the light yellow button, and don't press other buttons. People on earth are really despicable." , destructive, your actions are all actions of uncivilized creatures!" Batu wanted to argue with him, but I waved my hand and stopped him. At the same time, I found the yellow button beside the door and was ready to reach out and press it. However, Batu stretched out his hand: "Do you believe what he said?" I hurriedly said: "I have no reason not to believe it, because listening to his words, they seem to think that we have done a very meaningless thing, and they don't know that we have done a great thing." My voice was not loud, but the "man in white" outside the door heard it, and he immediately asked, "What did you do?" Before he could finish his sentence, I held Batu with one hand, and pressed the yellow button with the other. Since then, I have never understood how we came and how we left.When I pressed the button, an extremely bright light appeared in front of my eyes, and in an instant, I felt that my person no longer existed! However, immediately there was the sound of booming waves in my ears, and a huge wave covered me. I was in the water, and I swam instinctively. When I surfaced after the waves receded, I saw Not far from Batu, swim towards me. The two of us waved and yelled at each other, getting closer, and then we swam towards the land we could see. Later, I thought hard that the "men in white" could "send" us away, or take us to their headquarters, using the same method as their space flight, which is not "flight", "sports" ", but a kind of movement completely different from such concepts, we are moved to another place by a magical and unknowable force! The reason why I think so is because when Batu and I climbed onto the land—it was a small island, we met a group of men and women camping on the island. They spoke French and welcomed us to "join". After asking, we knew that we had come to a small island on the south coast of France! In fact, our minds are very clear, and we all clearly remember that we were still in that white room a few seconds ago. We borrowed a speedboat, went ashore, and then, after a while, came to Madrid. At that time, twenty-four hours had passed.During those twenty-four hours, Batu and I were always afraid of the revenge of the man in white, but everywhere on the earth was no different from normal. I got in touch with Bai Su, and Bai Su came to meet me.That night, the moon was as bright as the day, and Bai Su and I were walking along the poplar forest arm in arm, and the surroundings were very quiet. Suddenly, Bai Su said to me: "There seems to be a person in front!" I was stunned for a moment: "No way!" At the same time, I also raised my voice: "Who is in front?" In the dense forest in front, there was a sudden sound, and then, a "man in white" came out, man in white! This really made me extremely nervous, I quickly stretched out my hand and pulled Bai Su behind me, for a moment, I really didn't know what to do, I can say that I have never been in such a hurry before. Because I know that although my skills are good, if I want to fight against that kind of "man in white", I am like a baby, defenseless!Moreover, I knew that I had done a "good deed", and now that the "man in white" came to the door, it was of course an accident! The "man in white" came up to me and said, "Don't be alarmed, we are going back. What you have done has already reduced the population of our planet by three-fifths!" I felt very guilty: "Aren't you... not going to take revenge?" The "man in white" shook his head and said: "No, we won't do that. Now, we don't need to immigrate to the earth, but you have to remember that people on earth will always kill themselves. At that time, even the planet itself will be harmed. You Maybe you can see it, maybe you can't see it, you have committed a crime against the earth, not a good deed!" I was drenched in cold sweat, and reluctantly replied: "If people on earth don't take the road of suicide, then what I do is meaningful." The "man in white" lost his voice: "Will it be possible? Will the people on earth know it?" He kept talking, but quickly moved away. But his voice has been ringing in my ears. To this day, I seem to still hear the voice of the "man in white": Will it, will it? Will people on earth stop committing suicide?Will it? This is an unanswerable question. (full text)
