The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1153 Prison

"The end! The end! The end!"

Anliang District, No. 3 Hospital, on the roof of the inpatient department.

Jiuhan was holding a tactical telescope and was monitoring the target. The gray parrot on his shoulder couldn't bear the loneliness and finally screamed noisily. When it saw many people wearing white hospital gowns, it thought of a funeral.

"Farewell! Farewell..."

"Shut up." Jiu Han interrupted coldly.

The gray parrot was shocked, and immediately became as quiet as a chicken, its round eyes motionless, reflecting the two patients Jiu Han was monitoring.

Downstairs in the inpatient department, on the stone chairs next to the fountain pool, two mentally ill patients were playing backgammon on a Go board.

The patient on the left is very young, with a frail temperament. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He is about twenty-five or six years old. Everyone calls him Xiaosun.

The middle-aged man on the right is slightly fat, bald, has a fleshy face, a round nose, and a very blessed face. He is nicknamed Lao Tang.

"Old Tang." Xiao Sun stepped forward first and placed the white piece on Tian Yuan: "Have you ever heard of the planet prison theory?"

"I've heard of it." Old Tang put down a black stone next to the white stone: "Does it mean that this planet is a huge prison, and humans are all prisoners exiled here, and are not native creatures on this planet. The inferred reason for this argument Yes, the ecological characteristics of human beings are actually not suitable for survival on this planet. If we followed the principle of survival of the fittest, humans would have become extinct long ago."

"Yes! That's it." Xiao Sun followed a white stone sideways: "What do you think?"

"Just like that." Old Tang received a black mark in parallel: "I have to say, I think the physical prison theory is more interesting."

"Body? Prison?" Xiao Sun was stunned, "Why does it sound a bit evil?"

"What are you thinking about?" Old Tang explained: "It means that each of our bodies is the prison, and the consciousness is the prisoner." Old Tang said.

"Oh, that's interesting." Xiao Sunlai became interested.

"To put it simply, our consciousness is immortal and comes from the same place. As for our bodies, they are just small independent prisons one after another, in order to temporarily trap our consciousness. You must feel bad To understand, just understand consciousness as soul.”

"I understand, if this is really the case, then what is our purpose?" Xiao Sun put down the third white stone.

"What do you think?" Old Tang blocked one end with a sunspot.

"I don't know." Xiao Sun was puzzled: "Isn't this just a matter of eating enough to hold on?"

"You're right if you don't understand." Old Tang raised his eyebrows, "I don't understand either. As long as a person is alive, he can never understand."

"Why?" Xiao Sun asked Bai Zi on the other side.

"Because people are in prison as long as they are alive, they are prisoners. The prisoner is not the real 'me', so naturally he cannot understand 'my' thoughts." Old Tang blocked the other end with a black mark.

"Then what is the real 'I'?" Xiao Sun continued to play chess.

"Consciousness." Old Tang continued to play chess: "Consciousness that is immortal is the real 'you' and the real 'I'."

"Wait, I'm a little dizzy." Xiao Sun held the white piece and hesitated: "First of all, my consciousness is immortal."

"Correct."

Xiao Sun patted his chest: "Then, my consciousness temporarily entered this body."

"Correct."

"Then I wasn't 'me' anymore."

"Correct."

"Why?"

"Because when consciousness has a prison, it is no longer pure consciousness. You are no longer pure you, and I am no longer pure me. Only our bodies die, and consciousness escapes from the prison and returns to the immortal world. In the realm of eternity, we become who we really are again. At that time, we will naturally know why 'we' had to eat and have nothing to do, and got into a body to go to jail."

"So what you mean is that as long as I live, I will never know the answer?" Xiao Sun asked.

"Yes."

"Then if I die, I will know the answer?" Xiao Sun pushed back.

"Yes."

Xiao Sun thought about it seriously, "But one of the motivations for my life is to solve this problem and many other problems. If I don't want to live anymore, it means that I have no interest in these problems at all."

"Yes."

"But as long as I live, I will never be able to solve this problem." Xiao Sun circled back.

"Yes."

"Okay, okay! Okay, okay!" Xiao Sun laughed angrily: "Old Tang, you did this again for me, right? The perfect closed loop makes you understand."

"I can't help you if you think so." Old Tang took the black piece and thought about his next move. Xiao Sun refused to give up, "Can't you use your imagination and try to bring in the real 'you'? If you are the real 'you' now, why did 'you' enter this body and go to jail?"

"Don't say it, I really tried to think about it." Old Tang grinned.

"Do you have an answer?" Xiao Sun's eyes lit up.

"Yes, but I can't say." Old Tang looked mysterious.

"Why?"

"Some answers are wrong to say." Old Tang dropped a black stone, and two lines of three stones immediately appeared. It was useless for Xiao Sun to block any of them. He lost.

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Sun was disappointed: "You are pretending to be sophisticated again..."

"Ahem." A light cough came.

The two patients stood up immediately, looking panicked. They were relieved when they saw that they were not doctors and nurses.

The visitor is a young woman, wearing a smart professional suit and skirt. She is tall and thin, with slender limbs and an intellectual temperament. She is holding an interview microphone in her hand.

"Hello, I am Yishi, a reporter from Licheng TV Station. I would like to do a special report for the Third Hospital. Is it convenient for you two gentlemen to be interviewed?"

Xiao Sun became cautious again. He stayed in place, not knowing where to put his hands. He licked his tongue nervously and looked at Old Tang, asking for help.

Old Tang was also very nervous and wanted to turn around and leave. Two women in professional attire appeared. The shorter girl took photos with a SLR camera, and the taller woman started filming with a camera.

Old Tang no longer had the calmness he had when playing chess before. He lowered his head, as if he had made some mistake, and muttered in a low voice: "We are mentally ill... You guys, find someone else..."

"It's okay, I just want to ask a question. It's very simple." Yishi pushed up the rimless glasses on the delicate bridge of his nose.

"Oh, then...ask." Old Tang didn't dare to look at a stone.

"Excuse me, when did you awaken?" Yishi smiled.

Xiao Sun's face darkened and he ran away.

But he failed. Unexpectedly, his feet were firmly grasped by two black hands - the phantom under the feet of "photographer" Hong Xiaoxiao had already quietly clung to the ground and reached Xiao Sun's side. feet.

The reason why Xiao Sun failed to escape immediately was because the "cameraman" Chen Ying activated [Time Chaos] on him, which caused him to misjudge how he felt about time. He thought he would react in one second. It actually took three seconds.

"Don't! Don't kill me!" Xiao Sun begged for mercy loudly, his face turned pale.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Yishi immediately stepped forward: "We won't hurt you. We are also awakened ones and are looking for scattered people everywhere."

"Sanren are awakened people like you who have not joined the organization." Chen Ying added.

"Really, really?" Xiao Sun was dubious.

"If I want to kill you, you are already dead." Ishi told the truth.

"Yeah, too..." Xiao Sun calmed down a little.

Hong Xiaoxiao quietly took back Phantom and found that his trouser legs had been cut by Phantom. She quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I hurt you."

"It's okay, just a minor injury." Xiao Sun replied with a dry smile, and it was obvious that he was still very nervous.

"Xiao Sun? What is an awakened person?" Old Tang looked at Xiao Sun with a confused look, then looked at Hong Xiaoxiao: "How can your shadow move?"

"It's broken." Old Tang rubbed his eyes vigorously: "You should still take medicine on time, the condition has worsened again."

"Is your patient a lost person?" Yishi asked Xiaosun.

Xiao Sun was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"Who? Who is talking to me?" Old Tang suddenly looked around.

At this time, a "cool wind" penetrated into other people's minds at the same time.

[Jiuhan: Old Tang is not a lost person, he can receive my message. 】

[Chen Ying: Ordinary human beings? 】

[Xiao Sun: Wow! Who is talking in my head? ah! Wait, why am I talking too! 】

[Old Tang: Xiao Sun! Why did you come to my mind? 】

"Xiao Sun, don't be nervous, this is talent." Yishi quickly explained: "Tell me first, who is this Old Tang?"

Xiao Sun glanced at Old Tang with complicated eyes, and his eyes turned red for a moment.
