Dark Super God

"Hello, Mom, I'm in New York."

"Yeah, I met Zhenzhen's friends, and they picked me up."

"I know, don't worry, let's not talk about it for now, this is someone else's phone I borrowed, I'll call you after I get a number here, I'm hanging up first."

After simply reporting safety to his mother Wu Ying, Gu Xing returned the phone to Xie Xiaodong.

It was a little after 1 p.m. in New York, and if you convert the time difference, it should be a little after 1 a.m. in China.

Gu Xing could tell that his mother on the other end of the phone was talking with sleepiness, and because of his personality, he didn't say much.

To call China from abroad, you need to activate international services. The phone card Gu Xing had previously applied for was only a provincial card in Qianyang. There were many related services when he went out of the province, and there was no such service when he went abroad, so he didn't use that phone card again when he came.

"Gu Xing, you've been on a plane for more than ten hours, you must be hungry, right?"

Taking the phone from Gu Xing, Xie Xiaodong asked, "The airplane food is so bad, shall we take you to eat first? I know a delicious Chinese restaurant!"

"I just flew here from China, do you think I want to eat authentic Chinese food like us?"

Chen Xiaoxin rolled his eyes at Xie Xiaodong, then turned his head from the co-pilot seat to look at Gu Xing, and said with a smile, "Gu Xing, let's go! I'll take you to taste the authentic American steak!"

"Forget it."

After listening to them, Gu Xing smiled and shook his head and said, "I won't go. I just want to sleep now. I didn't sleep well on the plane."

"Haha, I forgot that you just landed and need to adjust to the jet lag."

Hearing his words, Xie Xiaodong and Chen Xiaoxin laughed and stopped talking about eating. Xie Xiaodong smiled and said, "Okay, then we will send you to a hotel near where we live to sleep. When you wake up, we will take you to have fun!"

"Okay."

Gu Xing smiled and nodded in response.

He didn't really want to sleep.

With his current body cell activity, it's no big deal to not sleep for a few days, let alone just a dozen hours.

The reason why he rejected Xie Xiaodong and Chen Xiaoxin was because Gu Xing was very eager to make an attempt.

After receiving the information given to him by Zuo Kuang, it took several months. After understanding the information related to consciousness from the Internet from shallow to deep, Gu Xing was slowly able to digest the content of Zuo Kuang's information on "On the Role of Consciousness".

Now, almost half a year has passed. The day before boarding the plane, he finally understood the content of the first chapter "On the Role of Consciousness" "The Essence of Consciousness"!

"The two pieces of information "On the Role of Consciousness" and "The Evolution of Life" are so-called "intuitive" information, which can only be understood with relevant knowledge."

After understanding the content of the first chapter "The Essence of Consciousness" of "On the Role of Consciousness", Gu Xing finally understood many of his previous doubts, such as why he couldn't understand the second chapter "Genes" of "The Evolution of Life" and the content of "On the Role of Consciousness".

The two pieces of information he and Zuo Kuang obtained are not in the form of specific text, but are similar to the electric current information pulses generated by thinking in the brain of a creature.

However, unlike the biological current information pulse, the biological current information pulse is caused by relevant changes in the human body, such as contact or thinking, while the two pieces of information "On the Role of Consciousness" and "The Evolution of Life" are a condensed pulse information source that directly enters Gu Xing's mind.

As long as Gu Xing has a thought and thinks of the names of these two pieces of information, he can stimulate the two ends of the information source to emit pulses like stimulating keywords, allowing Gu Xing to browse related information.

However, because it is not a specific text, if Gu Xing does not have the concept of relevant knowledge in his memory bank, he cannot understand the pulse.

If he has the relevant concept, this pulse will be displayed in the text description of the knowledge Gu Xing has learned.

This makes Gu Xing feel very magical.

"In other words, different civilizations, as long as they have enough concepts of cognition of things, can understand these two pieces of information in the text of the civilization they have learned... Consciousness is really magical!"

Humans still do not have a specific definition of consciousness.

Just like it is impossible to prove the existence of the soul.

This is something that cannot be explained by current science.

However, after reading the information "On the Role of Consciousness", Gu Xing began to have an essential understanding of consciousness...

Driving from Kennedy International Airport to Manhattan, a taxi usually takes about an hour in traffic jams, and more than 40 minutes in no traffic jams, and driving is faster.

After Gu Xing expressed that he wanted to find a hotel to sleep first and adjust to the jet lag, Xie Xiaodong drove all the way to Manhattan, which took about 30 minutes.

Gu Xing checked into a five-star InterContinental Hotel near Eighth Avenue in Harlem, not far from Columbia University. After being admitted to Columbia University, he started to apply for a social security number in the United States, which is similar to a domestic ID card. There was no problem using hotel facilities.

"Then you should rest first, and call us when you wake up."

After Xie Xiaodong and Chen Xiaoxin sent Gu Xing to the room, Xie Xiaodong said with a smile.

"Okay."

Gu Xing smiled and nodded, and then immediately closed the door after the two left.

The private high school that Xie Xiaodong and Chen Xiaoxin attended is not in Manhattan, but in Brooklyn. However, after coming to the United States to study, most international students like to play without the constraints of their parents. Manhattan, as the most prosperous area in New York, is very attractive to international students. Of course, it attracts more than just international students, but also people who like nightlife in New York.

Especially in June, when most schools are on vacation.

Anyway, Brooklyn is not far from downtown Manhattan. It only takes more than 30 to 40 minutes to drive from Kennedy International Airport to Upper Manhattan. It is even closer to take the Manhattan Bridge from Brooklyn.

Xie Xiaodong and Chen Xiaoxin, who did not return to China during the holidays, actually often go out to play with international students they met here these days.

If it weren't for the call from his family in China, asking Chen Xiaoxin to pick up Gu Xing in a tough attitude, Chen Xiaoxin would probably have stayed up all night and slept until the next afternoon.

However, even so, after leaving Gu Xing's hotel, Chen Xiaoxin and Xie Xiaodong immediately went to a pool party.

After Gu Xing closed the door, he could still vaguely hear the two people discussing about the pool party in the corridor.

Gu Xing was not interested in this.

After closing the door, he immediately locked the door, pulled all the curtains in the room, and then lay on the bed in the room with a slightly excited look.

"Let's get started."

Lying on the bed, he closed his eyes eagerly, and began to recall the content of the first article "On the Role of Consciousness" in his mind, "The Essence of Consciousness"...

["On the Role of Consciousness" The first article "The Essence of Consciousness"...]

[...Consciousness is the perception of the human brain of the appearance inside and outside the brain. From a physiological point of view, the conscious brain area can obtain information from other brain areas. However, the most important function of consciousness is to distinguish true from false...]

[...The information received by the human brain may come from external senses, the five senses of eyes, mouth, ears, nose, tongue, and body, or from imagination or memory. Consciousness can clearly distinguish where the information in the brain comes from. When people cannot distinguish where the information they receive comes from, they will be disturbed by three types of information, such as external senses, imagination, and memories, and develop mental illness, persecution delusion, schizophrenia and other diseases. These diseases are generally caused by weak or dissipated consciousness...】

[...Distinguishing the authenticity of information is the most important function of consciousness, but distinguishing the authenticity is not the essence of consciousness. The essence of consciousness is to recognize the self, analyze the self with internal and external information, seek common ground while reserving differences, and recognize the true self. Only after truly recognizing the self can you be fearless and pursue your will...】

[...And if you want to recognize the self, you need to receive sufficient information for self-analysis and elimination, but consciousness is born humble and weak, and there are limits. If you want to receive sufficient information, you must first strengthen your own consciousness. The content of this article talks about how to make consciousness from weak to strong. This method is called "consciousness plunder"...】

[...The first step of "consciousness plunder" is to learn to condense the "five sense bodies" and see the emission of consciousness. Human consciousness is "perpetually active". As long as you are not dead, the activities of consciousness will never stop. Unless there is a way to converge, the consciousness will be accompanied by a small part of the consciousness dissipating at the same time. If you want to plunder consciousness, you must first be able to see these scattered consciousnesses clearly...]

[...The second step is to be able to condense the "five consciousness bodies". Because the consciousness is weak at the beginning, you should start with dreams and plunder the scattered consciousness from other people's dreams. Because when people dream, the excitement of the conscious brain area decreases, and they cannot effectively distinguish the authenticity of the images in the brain. This is the time when defense and hostility are the weakest...]

[...The third step is to enter the dream and plunder...]

After recalling the content of the "Essence of Consciousness" in his mind, Gu Xing's excitement slowly calmed down and began to condense the "five consciousness bodies".

As early as when he finished reading the content of "Essence of Consciousness", he automatically learned to condense the "five consciousness bodies" just like when he read "Evolution of Life".

This so-called five consciousness bodies is to condense one's five senses into a group. As for why it is called "five consciousness bodies", Gu Xing probably has something to do with some Buddhist materials he saw when he was looking up consciousness materials on the Internet before.

In Buddhism, the five senses are called eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, and body consciousness.

"If other civilizations look at the information of 'the essence of consciousness', it should not be called 'five sense bodies', right?"

This was Gu Xing's last thought.

The next second, after condensing the five senses according to the method of "five sense bodies", Gu Xing's senses suddenly became different!

"This is..."

After condensing the "five sense bodies", Gu Xing "looked" at everything around him and was extremely surprised.

In his vision, the surroundings completely became an abstract appearance!

There were gray lines crisscrossing horizontally and vertically all around. From the combination of these lines, the outlines of the hotel room and the furniture in the room can be roughly seen.

It was as if all these things had become lines like a blueprint.

Gu Xing could not feel the existence of his body, but he could feel his own existence, just like the first-person game screen. He seemed to be able to move as soon as he moved his mind.

Suddenly, Gu Xing's sight was attracted.

It was different from the surrounding lines. It was a series of colorful lines, much like the lines that represent the smell of food in cartoons. It came from below the hotel room. Judging from the degree of the gray lines, it seemed to be separated by four floors.

"According to the description of the information on 'The Nature of Consciousness', these colored lines represent someone dreaming."

Looking at those colorful lines, Gu Xing had a thought, and his first-person view instantly passed through the four-story building and touched those colorful lines.

The next moment, he only felt distortion happening around him.

Soon, the distortion returns to normal and he arrives on the streets of a desolate desert town.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the town was dyed golden in the rays of light.

Gu Xing stood on the street of the small town, looking at the wooden houses on both sides of the street and was a little stunned. It was the first time he fell asleep and he was still a little confused.

But soon, this dream changed.

In a wooden room that looked like a bar, a man opened the door noisily and walked out. Walking in the front were two white men, one strong and tall, the other fat and short.

Both of them were wearing typical Western cowboy suits, with guns at their waists. Following them out of the bar were some men who were also wearing Western cowboy suits, and women in European-style skirts.

When the two white men walked onto the street, they looked ready to draw their guns at any moment.

The short, fat white man among them said with a lonely look: "Eric, you shouldn't challenge me to a duel, because you will die."

The tall white man snorted: "Stop talking nonsense and draw your gun, Roger!"
