Dream Guide

Mei Yiqiu was leaning on the office chair, holding a pipe in his mouth. The tobacco in the pipe had burned out, and he was still smoking there, but he couldn't exhale a trace of smoke.

Mei Ziqing knocked on the door and came in. He started, and the pipe fell on his chest, bouncing on his clothes as he coughed violently.

"Professor, I said you can't smoke anymore, why don't you listen!"

Mei Ziqing put down the lunch box she was carrying, helped him pick up the pipe, and put it on the table. She glanced at the computer on the table. There was a video window open on the screen, playing a documentary about changes in the earth's environment.

"Cough cough cough... It's an old problem... cough cough... don't... cough cough... take care of me! If you don't let me smoke... cough cough... it's better to let me die!"

The professor became excited.

Mei Ziqing shook her head helplessly, opened the lunch box on the table and said, "It's time to eat. Today we have the silver fish shreds you like to eat."

The professor kept coughing, as if speechless, but reached towards the table to touch his pipe. Mei Ziqing did not stop him anymore, but helped him pick up the pipe, skillfully changed the tobacco, and said: "You are only allowed to take two puffs, and you will eat immediately after smoking."

The professor was still coughing and took the pipe without lighting it or speaking. Mei Ziqing stood there waiting quietly, just as respectfully as when she first came to Mei's laboratory.

After a while, Mei Yiqiu's cough got better, but he was still a little emotional. His chest heaved and he shouted with a slight breath: "Okay, you are no longer my assistant. Send me to the orphanage! Let me Let’s accept the doomsday judgment together with those childless old guys!”

"Professor..." Mei Ziqing cried out sadly, with an aggrieved look on her face.

Mei Yiqiu slowly calmed down, looked at the pitiful Mei Ziqing, took a long breath, and said: "In the past few years, your achievements are obvious to all. You are already a qualified scientist, and I can retire with peace of mind. You are not my servant. You don’t have to take care of my daily life in every detail. Work hard. If you don’t trust me, you can find me a nanny. Oh, it’s best not to be a nagging one. I don’t like it. nagging!"

Mei Ziqing said: "Professor, everything I have today is given by you. And no one knows you except me. How can I trust you and leave you to them!"

Mei Yiqiu stopped talking, put down the pipe, picked up the chopsticks, and opened the lunch box. Seeing him like this, Mei Ziqing smiled and said, "Then please take it easy." Then he turned around and went out.

Mei Yiqiu just waved his hand, but kept his eyes on the screen. What Mei Ziqing didn't notice was that the video at this moment suddenly changed the scene. The beautiful scenery in the original documentary disappeared and was replaced by a simple live broadcast room. Sitting in the live broadcast room was a kind-faced and elegant man. old lady.

"Selena..." Mei Yiqiu called softly.

…

Dickinson sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the TV a little nervously. Because of the lump on the back of his neck, he couldn't lean back on the sofa chair and had to sit upright.

After today's incident is over, I will go for surgery to take out the damn chip. He thought so. It is impossible to predict how the world will develop next. I am afraid that his old bones will not be of much help anymore, so it is good to spend his old age like this. From now on, you can truly enjoy fishing in Stanley Park.

As for Selena, he had no way of knowing what she would face. From the moment she made that choice, it was doomed that she would not be able to find peace in the rest of her life.

Completely accepting a real consciousness is not as simple as implanting a chip. The chip can be easily removed, but the consciousness in Selena's body cannot be driven away, because she and Selena have long been integrated into one body, or in other words, she is no longer the original Selena since she accepted the parasitic consciousness.

Selina is dead, alive, another intruder. The parasite has already taken over the magpie's nest and has become its new master. It was precisely because she knew this that she decisively broke up with Mei Yiqiu.

Thinking of Mei Yiqiu, Dickinson felt a little more uneasy.

The proud and stubborn Chinese Mei once made a splash at Princeton and captured the heart of the equally proud Selena. But now, he has already become old and has given everything he has for his career.

Dickinson knew clearly that Mei Yiqiu had the heaviest burden on everyone's shoulders. Even he still hasn't fully figured out Mei Yiqiu's true identity. But this does not prevent them from becoming the best friends and the most trustworthy comrades in arms, fighting side by side for a common ideal and the future of all mankind.

The three of them chose different tripartite camps, but for the same purpose, they have been helping each other tacitly for decades. In comparison, Dickinson felt that he was much more relaxed than the other two, and naturally regretted that his value was somewhat smaller.

He smiled to himself. As if he saw the handsome redwoods in Stanley Park and the white clouds wandering on the sea, he began to yearn for the leisurely days. Maybe one day, the three old friends could reunite again, sit on the beach, enjoy the afterglow of the sunset, and talk about the long past.

A sitcom called "I Have You in My Mind" is playing on the TV. This drama is based on the background of a parasitic consciousness. It tells the story of a football player whose brain is invaded by a female consciousness and transforms from a majestic player into a woman.

It is the most popular sitcom after The Big Bang Theory. Smart American TV businessmen began preparing for this TV series the year Lester's last words were announced. The first season was aired the next year, and it is now in its sixth season. Of course, the plot has also changed from the fun on the field and the warmth after returning home in the first season, to the confrontation between humans and aliens, and the paradoxical choice of the parasite between his own race and humans. .

Of course, with Americans’ urinary temperament, most of them will be filmed as aliens invading, the earth is facing destruction, and the protagonist comes out to persuade the two races to negotiate peace, but the aliens and the militants among humans make war inevitable. The protagonist finally transforms into a superhero, destroys these warlike evil elements, and saves mankind.

Although such a story is cliché, it unintentionally coincides with the current real situation.

Dickinson watched and couldn't help but laugh. Isn't this protagonist Selena? ! However, she is not a football player beloved by Americans, but an old lady in Florida who likes to keep pets. This is somewhat different from mainstream American values.

At this moment, the TV screen suddenly switched to a simple live broadcast room. Selena sat in the live broadcast room, smiling and looking at the camera gently.

Dickinson felt that Selena's eyes could penetrate the screen, and a trace of imperceptible spiritual power shot out and spread in the air. This power is very weak, but it is enough to influence ordinary people, making them focus on this extraordinary moment.

To test whether the Internet lived up to its promise, Dickinson picked up the remote and started changing channels. No matter which channel you switch to, the TV screen is frozen in that picture. Dickinson was still worried. He turned on his phone and opened a video software at random, and found that the same video screen popped up directly on the homepage.

He felt relieved and touched the lump on the back of his neck with satisfaction.

At this moment, probably everyone who is watching TV and using the Internet has noticed this weird video picture and the ordinary-looking but extraordinary old lady in the picture.

After about a minute of silence, Selena spoke:

"Hello, comrades, human friends! I am very happy to be here to talk to you. I am the second leader of the 'Sons of Gaia'. Yes, I am what you call a 'parasite'! My name is Sai Lina..."

It’s over, I don’t seem to know how to write a speech, and I’m still giving a speech to save mankind around the world. This is the rhythm of digging a hole to bury myself! In addition, now one chapter is updated and two are blocked. If it is not updated, it will not be blocked. What does this mean, forcing me to stop updating? Isn’t it annoying!
