Chen Lin had an accident, and in the past few months, he has not been seen. Whenever I hear my friends talk about Chen Lin, my friends say that he is unruly and his eyes are scattered.

His mother thinks he's like this because he fell for an evil last time when he was on the train home alone, and said that he saw the future wheel of fate...... So I also invited a Taoist priest to go home to do the practice, but it didn't work.

Chen Lin is my best friend, but I have been so busy with my studies lately that I don't have time to see him.

By the time I had taken care of everything and had found time to see him during the summer vacation, it was already a few months later.

I entered the door, and Chen Lin was sitting on the balcony of his house, staring out the window.

I walked up behind him, and he looked back at me, and when he saw that it was me, there was a little joy in his eyes, and his body shook slightly.

"Chen Lin, what's wrong with you?"

He didn't speak, and looked back out the window.

I'm a little heartbroken, what a nice lad, that's all.

Half a salary, I sighed, and was about to turn around and leave, when Chen Lin suddenly spoke.

"It's fake, it's all fake."

"What?"

"The earth is about to be destroyed."

"Why do you say that?

"There is no meaning in life."

"You've fallen for it?"

"I'm done."

This kid seems to have really fallen into evil, and I sighed.

With a snap, I slapped him.

"Why are you hitting me?"

"I thought you were evil, help you exorcise evil spirits."

"I'm not evil, I'm just ......"

Syllable.

"Nyima."

"Looks like you're really recovering."

I sat down across from Chen Lin, who was rubbing his face, and in order to avoid his anger, I hurriedly changed the subject.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Chen Lin sighed and began to speak.

It all started when Chen Lin went home.

Chen Lin likes to go to the wild to climb mountains alone, last time he got lost in the mountains, and came to a cliff, there is a small cabin on the edge of the cliff, and a beautiful girl is sitting on the edge of the cliff looking into the distance, and she is not afraid of falling.

"Aren't you afraid of falling?"

"What if you fall?"

The beautiful girl got up, welcomed Chen Lin into the cabin on the edge of the cliff, and poured Chen Lin a glass of Coke.

"You'll die if you fall."

"What if we die, our lives are meaningless."

Religious extremists? Chen Lin was curious.

"How so?"

The beautiful girl said slowly:

"Have you seen Truman's world?"

Chen Lin nodded, this movie is still very well-known, and he has seen it a long time ago.

Truman is the protagonist of a popular soap opera, everything around him is fake, his relatives and friends are all actors, but he himself knows nothing about it.

"Our world is like Truman's world, but we are worse than Truman, Truman can escape, but we can't."

Chen Lin couldn't help but smile, this beautiful girl looks stupid watching a movie.

"If our world is Truman's world, then who is the protagonist? Am I the main character? ”

"The whole earth is the protagonist."

"What do you mean?"

The beautiful girl ignored Chen Lin's inquiry and asked Chen Lin rhetorically:

"Do you know the Fermi Paradox?"

Chen Lin shook his head.

"The astonishing age of the universe and the sheer number of stars mean that extraterrestrial life should be widespread. Theoretically, humans can fly to various planets in the galaxy in 1 million years, so if there are really aliens, aliens should come to Earth by now as long as they evolved 1 million years earlier than humans. ”

As if there was some reason, Chen Lin nodded, picked up the coke and took a sip.

"Does this have anything to do with what you just said that we are all the protagonists of Truman's world?"

"We haven't seen aliens until now because the Fermi paradox is right, there is no life except Earth."

Chen Lin gasped and asked the beautiful girl:

"Why?"

"Because the model of the universe does not produce life on its own."

"Then why is there life on Earth?"

The beautiful girl glanced at Chen Lin with deep meaning, and continued:

"Because, it's no accident that there is life on Earth."

"What's that?"

"Artificial! The reason why life exists on Earth is because someone is intervening! The universe is a model of their creation, it should be a place without life, and it is precisely because of human intervention on the earth that life has arisen on the earth. ”

The beautiful girl paused for a moment and continued:

"So the earth is like Truman, and the other planets are like the actors around Truman, and the purpose of their existence is just to deceive."

With a bang, the cup fell to the ground.

"Ridiculous, I don't believe it."

"It's normal if you don't believe it, it's like the shooter hypothesis."

"What is the shooter hypothesis?"

"The shooter hypothesis: there is a sharpshooter who makes holes in a target every ten centimeters. Imagine that the plane of this target lives a two-dimensional intelligent being, and the scientists in them, after observing their own universe, discovered a great law: "The universe must have a hole every ten centimeters." "They see the whims of this sharpshooter as an iron law in their own universe. The same reason as the shooter hypothesis. (This paragraph quotes the theory of the novel "The Three-Body Problem.") ）

So, you think that there is life on the earth only because there happens to be water on the earth, there is an atmosphere, there are elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other elements necessary to make up living matter, and there is a moderate surface air temperature. These factors are interrelated, mutually influential, and continue to exist for a long time, so that life has a relatively stable process of occurrence, development, and evolution. And not because of human interference that life was generated. ”

Chen Lin sneered.

"Why would they do it? It can't be a soap opera, right? ”

"Think of us as guinea pigs and study our development."

"I still don't believe it, I don't believe it anyway."

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, the earth is almost finished anyway."

"Why?"

"The universe began to explode and expand from a singularity to the present, and when it expands to a certain extent, the universe will begin to contract, time will begin to rewind, and it will return to the beginning of the universe and become a singularity again, and then it will explode and loop indefinitely. This is the model of the universe they have built, and the next contraction is not far off. ”

"If they built this model of the universe to study our development process, then the earth has finally developed human beings and developed a perfect scientific system, then why are they shrinking the universe now?"

The beautiful girl paused and said slowly, word by word.

"Because, the earthlings are about to find out about it. Earthlings accidentally discovered gravitational waves, and gravitational waves carry a lot of information, and gravitational waves are eternal, so sooner or later earthlings will capture a gravitational wave, which records everything they did for the earth on the earth. Once the earthlings discover this, there will be no point for the earthlings to be studied, so when that day comes, it will be the day when the universe shrinks and reincarnation begins again. ”

Chen Lin didn't know what to say, the news was too appalling to digest.

The beautiful girl looked at Chen Lin with a blank expression, as if she didn't quite believe it, and said:

"Have you ever seen a person from the future come back through time travel?"

Chen Lin came back to his senses.

"Nope."

"That's right, because the earth's civilization has never had time to develop to the stage of studying the space-time machine, but it has been restored due to the contraction of the universe, so it is impossible for you to meet the people of the future."

Chen Lin didn't speak.

"But how do you know all this?"

The beautiful girl chuckled and let out a weird laugh, which was very harsh.

"Any program has bugs and viruses, and the cosmic model is no exception, and now I am its virus."

Chen Lin was shocked and puzzled.

"Then why are you telling me?"

"The universe no longer knows how many times it has been reincarnated, and human beings have gone from nothing to nothing, from existence to prosperity, and then from prosperity to decline. Humans have been toyed with by them countless times, and I want to put an end to all this, but my life is coming to an end. ”

"So you found me?"

"Stop humanity from continuing to explore gravitational waves, let humanity study the space-time machine, travel to the day "they" came to Earth, kill them, destroy their connection to this universe, and put an end to all this. I'm tired..., please help me. ”

The beautiful girl stuffed Chen Lin with a note, and then rushed out the door.

Chen Lin was frightened for a while, and hurriedly followed out, just as he saw the beautiful girl jumping off the cliff, he turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"No, don't !!"

The beautiful girl committed suicide, and Chen Lin looked down at the note.

It reads.

Chen Lin, accept your fate, you can't escape, I chose you with a lot of talents, this is fate.

Speaking of this, Chen Lin stopped, and the story seemed to be over.

I lowered my head, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Chen Lin asked me:

"Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it, I think it's ridiculous."

"I think too, so what do you think I should do? I listen to you. ”

Chen Lin looked up at me with hope, making me feel as if I was in charge of the fate of all mankind.

"Rest well, forget about it, just the foolish words of a religious element."

"I don't think it's credible either."

I said goodbye to Chen Lin and left.

It had just rained outside, and the air was fresh.

Near Chen's home is a zoo, and I watched as the zoo staff were renovating dilapidated facilities.

I pulled out my phone and dialed a number.

"I'm Arthur, virus number seven has been corrected and doesn't need to be cleared."

Inside the house, Chen Lin looked at my distant back.

Dig out the piece of paper that the beautiful girl gave him from the drawer.

Flip to the back again, and it reads:

Other than that, watch out for Arthur. Be careful with anyone around you.

Chen Lin smiled, tore off the paper, turned his head to look out the window, and the sky was clear.

It's time to wake up from the dream.
