Doomsday Wonderland

The experience center is located in the center of a group of towering mushrooms, occupying a quiet area in the middle of the bustle; even in the morning when the city is getting busier, you can't hear much noise while sitting here. The bed had been swept clean, but the two cats and the cat still chose to squat on the ground, carrying a box lunch as migrant workers - even the cat doctor didn't get on the bed, because according to it, the puppet master had already gone for a walk for a while. , could come back any time now.

"Don't worry." Although Hu Miaomiao was also sitting on the ground, she was sitting on Bohemia's large skirt scattered all over the place. Anyway, she refused to let her paws directly step on the ground: "Take a walk and treat him There are also benefits to recovery.”

"I'm not worried about him," Lin Sanjiu said angrily, "I'm worried about this guy."

She turned her head and asked, "Hey, are you serious?"

"This guy" blinked blankly, because Doctor Cat sat on her skirt and didn't dare to move.

"I didn't think about it carefully just now," Bohemia admitted. "I just thought it seemed good, so I said it casually... But don't worry, I have already thought about it seriously."

Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I still want to convert."

"...I wish you all the best." After a pause, Doctor Cat politely stretched out a paw towards Bohemia. Before he could touch her hand, Lin Sanjiu opened it.

"What's the matter with you?" She took a long breath, feeling tired in her bones: "Aren't you the ones who tried to prevent me from converting just now? Now I feel like I woke up from a dream, you On the contrary..."

After her words fell for a few seconds, Bohemia folded her arms and raised her head, and said softly: "The sky here... is really blue. It's so blue that it seems like it can penetrate your body."

"Is this why you want to stay?"

She shook her head: "I... don't want to wander anymore."

Lin Sanjiu could see that the reasons that made her want to stay were far more complicated than what she could put into words - Bohemia was not good at expressing herself, even if she was touched by the experience center. Such a secret desire, it seemed that she could only find this simple reason for a while.

"Then let me tell you why I chose not to convert."

Two pairs of eyes, one green and one gold, looked at her.

"First of all," Lin Sanjiu raised a finger: "Meijia and the garbage man we just saw in the experience center may indeed have no spores on their bodies at that time. This is the premise."

"how do you know?"

"Because it's not necessary." She shrugged and glanced at Bohemia: "The original mission of the spores was for the spread and reproduction of mushrooms. To use it to brainwash everyone, the amount required must be very large. To do this It’s too much to put the cart before the horse... Even if you don’t consider this, the daily state of the locals here is very different from my state after absorbing the spores.”

She felt that she might never forget the experience after absorbing the spores.

She didn't even have the right words to describe the feeling at that time - like a mathematician who had been studying hard all his life finally confirmed a certain conjecture, like a mother hearing the first cry of a newborn child, like a sudden flash of light on the skin when an idea came to her. Goosebumps...

It was like opening my eyes for the first time and seeing the vast starry sky in the universe.

If the human race has been struggling and groping at a loss since its birth, it must be because humans are pursuing something, something that resonates across the world. It is not money, fame or even love, it is something elusive that is far higher than human beings themselves - what it is, Lin Sanjiu still doesn't know.

This is the ingenuity of mushrooms.

"They actually don't know what humans are after - meaning, or truth, whatever you want to call it - but they avoid this very cleverly. They tell you that the thing you are pursuing is actually bacteria. The mushroom itself... well, it can also be said to be this way of living in harmony with the mushroom."

Lin Sanjiu continued to explain: "Of course outsiders won't believe this concept, right? So they will release spores and stimulate chemical reactions in your brain, making you feel that you have finally found the truth and the truth. Something that makes your life meaningful. My feeling at that time should be similar to the 'sudden enlightenment' in Buddhism, or like a scientist solving the mystery of the universe... It was a kind of happiness that transcended the ordinary world, and not many people can resist it. ."

When she was at her peak, she was thrown into the dungeon and opened up, which abruptly cut off this feeling, so the "sequelae" was particularly strong, and she desperately wanted to find the "truth" that originally belonged to her.

"So, you were deceived by the spores?" Doctor Cat tilted his head and asked.

A cat's worldview is completely different, even one that speaks human language. It never worries about the meaning of its life, nor does it become exhausted and empty from chasing various desires. It is simply satisfied with "existing in this world" - from this point of view, Lin Sanjiu envies cats.

"Well, strictly speaking, what the mushrooms did was indeed a lie."

She hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Bohemia was listening very attentively, she said thoughtfully: "But it is closer to Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai, one is willing to hit, and the other is willing to suffer. Human beings themselves don't know what they want, and they don't know How can we obtain peace and happiness... So the fungus gave a completely alternative answer. You are a cat, you do not understand the struggle and chaos within our race, UU Reading www.uukanｓhu.net and the journey along the way in history The price to pay.”

She paused and said: "But from another perspective, the mushrooms just replaced what humans have been looking for with a very real thing that is right in front of us. No one knows whether it exists or not. thing. Except that this thing is not the other thing, it has the same meaning to human beings. To give an inappropriate analogy, it is like a color-blind person who wants to wear clothes. Do you wear yellow or blue for him? In fact, It’s not important at all. What’s important is that if the color-blind person has clothes to wear, that’s fine. If he were an optimist or a pragmatist, he would probably think that the mushrooms saved him a lot of time.”

When Bohemia heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Then why don't the locals need it?"

"I didn't say it wasn't necessary," Lin Sanjiu smiled, "But for the locals, in order for them to obtain spiritual satisfaction and tranquility, they don't need to use spores all the time. Their ancestors have grown here for generations. , whether we call it cultural tradition or educational shaping, they are already completely different from us in many aspects."

"So the mushroom really didn't lie." Bohemia seemed to finally let go and her expression relaxed.

Lin Sanjiu lowered her voice: "Not necessarily."

These two words were like ice cubes falling on the skin, shaking the bohemian spirit.

"I think what we felt in the experience center may indeed be the truth... but it is not the whole truth." She looked up at the blue sky and the various shadows that divided the blue sky, not knowing that she Whether the sound can be captured by the mushrooms that built the entire city: "They conceal some things that they think outsiders will not accept."
