Chapter 10 You Are Still Not Human

The night was already deep, and Kesong fell asleep tiredly in his arms.

The single bed was very narrow, and he leaned sideways and stretched out one arm, allowing the girl to huddle in his arms.

The eyelashes were still trembling slightly in their sleep—perhaps because of the pain somewhere.

The two people's skin was tightly pressed. Even though they had calmed down from the previous madness, they could still feel the amazing heat and smoothness. He sighed slightly, stretched out a hand and gently stroked it from his loose bare shoulder, until his sharply contracted waist.

The most primitive human beings...

Even I can't get rid of that kind of **.

After all, it's just a living body.

Li Zhen stood up gently, slowly placed Kesun's head on the pillow, then got rid of her limbs, used her toes to remove the paper ball on her leather shoes, and got out of the bed naked.

He pulled his shoes to the window, so he saw the flower cat.

The cat was snoring gently, his face buried between his claws, and his soft belly was rising and falling rapidly.

There was a slight "swish" sound in the breathing, as if something was blocked in the nose or throat, making it difficult to breathe. Li Zhen gently reached out and touched its wet nose, and then retracted. Under the dim skylight, he saw a thin layer of transparent liquid on his fingers...

It's a bit like a snot. But the thing is slowly moving, just like a slime in a cartoon.

He said "Oh" softly, rubbed his fingers slightly - and the layer of liquid disappeared.

He turned around and put on his clothes lightly, and picked up the cat again, which was not awakened. They walked out the door silently, took a look as they passed by the house where the freezer was stored, and then continued along the dusty road.

After walking for a while, I passed through three streets, and then I saw a figure sitting next to a ruin, with a red dot on my mouth flashing.

He walked over and sat down next to the man.

Ying Jianran glanced at him, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

Li Zhen waved his hand and asked, "Can't you sleep?"

"I'm wondering what's going on with you." The other party threw away the cigarette butt at his hand and lit another one, "I'm very worried."

Li Zhen gently stroked the cat's smooth body, thought for a while, and said, "I originally planned to tell you later. But now I feel it is necessary. I am just worried about some things... you can't accept it."

Ying Jianran smiled slightly: "You can be resurrected twice if you die. Is there anything more unacceptable than this?"

"Well... it's true for ordinary people." Li Zhen nodded, "Then you have to be mentally prepared, because what I'm going to say next may be a little more incredible."

"Tell me."

Li Zhen looked at him: "The me you see now is just one of them. There are many me, and they are the same, somewhere else."

Ying Jueran frowned slightly and pondered for a while: "Do you mean... spiritual consciousness or something, or a philosophical concept?"

"I. Another me, the third me, wait and see. A real living person." Li Zhen pointed to himself and pointed to another place, "It's like a clone."

Ying Jianran looked at him in surprise and leaned back slightly: "You mean... you... are not Li Zhen? But cloned? One of them?"

He seemed a little cautious. If he hadn't been mentally prepared before, he would have almost stood up.

Li Zhen reached out and patted his shoulder to calm him down: "The cloning is just an example. I am Li Zhen, and the others are also Li Zhen. We are all the same person - not only the same body, but actually the ideas are very close."

Ying Jueran still didn't calm down completely, just watched him not speak.

"I know what you are thinking." Li Zhen smiled, "You are thinking about the kind of things in science fiction - every clone thinks that they are the essence, so they will hate each other and even fight each other. But for me, everything does not exist... Maybe it's hard for you to understand. I'll explain it to you like this."

He raised his arm: "For example, when someone wants to hit you, you will instinctively raise your hand to block it. But will you consider 'why raise your hand' instead of 'raising your foot'? Will you feel unhappy if your arm is beaten and feel unfair?"

"Isn't it ridiculous to think about it like this? Because your hands and feet are part of you, you won't consider who is reasonable and who is unreasonable. Everything is for you as a whole."

"Same, if there are three me now, A, B and C stand together, and there is only one road ahead, and there is a mine buried on the road, and one person must sacrifice himself to detonate the mine-"

"If A takes the initiative to say that I will clear the mines, then B and C will definitely not stop him. If A and B say to C - if you clear the mines, C will definitely not refuse. Because we are all the same people - we will not consider whether to be fair to the arms or to the feet."

He looked at Ying Jue Ran: "Can you understand?"

Ying Jianran pondered for a while and said slowly: "I don't understand very much. But... I roughly understand what's going on."

He looked at the Li Zhen in front of him again: "If I meet another you, he will know me, Zhang Kesong will sit down and talk to me like this? Then... my god, what are you going to do? How did you make it like this?"

Li Zhen gently rubbed the head of the raccoon: "You should know that I was bombarded into pieces at that time. Some larger parts became people like me. As for the future... we will definitely be together. But why not now? Because each of us is thinking about one thing."

He sighed slightly: "A person's subjective consciousness is always one-sided, so I need a lot of people to think together and then summarize it to draw conclusions."

He looked up at Ying Jue Ran: "Are you supposed to help you, or... stand aside and watch."

Ying stared at him resolutely and sat up straight: "What do you mean?"

"Don't be this kind of expression. You are my good friend in humans - have you not realized that I am actually leaning towards you? Otherwise... I don't even need to 'consider'." Li Zhen smiled faintly and shook his head at him.

Ying Jueran felt a little stiff on his face. He even wanted to stand up and stay away from the Li Zhen in front of him. It was late at night, and there was a red dark light in the sky, and the two of them were in ruins again...

It's like a horror movie.

And what Li Zhen said...

"Inside humans." He took a slight breath and tried to make his voice sound calm and calm: "Listen to your tone, you feel that you are not a human."

"I've been a human for seventeen years." Li Zhen nodded slightly, "and then it's not."

Ying Jianran said in a deep voice: "You just have unique abilities. I also have abilities, A-level psychic energy, but we are still humans."

He felt... Li really was a little confused. Under the calm surface, an extremely crazy heart was hidden.

Li Zhen smiled and shook her head: "Look, you have this kind of expression again. I have said it, let's talk carefully."

He gently patted Ying Jue Ran's shoulder, but the latter sat upright.

"Is it human beings? It's not a philosophical question, but a pure biological question. I was born from my mother before, and everything acted like a human, so I am a human being. Because no matter my macro form or deep DNA, it's actually not much different from you."

"But have you ever thought that if a person's genes make him grow hair, have a tail, and turn into a walking form of limbs - just like this cat. Then is he still a human?"

"If he still has human thinking consciousness, then he is still a personal one." Ying replied resolutely, "At least that's how I think."

Li Zhen sighed: "Human thinking consciousness? Do you mean those things that are high IQ, rationality, and emotions that allow us to talk face to face and in an orderly manner? Definitely... not only humans have these things. There are also kinds of species. Haven't you ever thought about Chiyou?"

Ying Jianran was silent for a while and said calmly: "What you mean is that you are a kind of species."

"Maybe? But in the end it may not be." Li Zhen smiled, "Those things... are just like humans, maybe they are just a period of time I will go through."

"Okay, it seems you still..." Li Zhen smiled bitterly, "Actually, I was resurrected six months ago. At that time, I was even more confused than now. I wanted to figure out what is different from you now-so I found a microscope. Then I looked at my own blood."

"My platelets, white blood cells, and even somatic cells... are all alive. They have tentacles like flagellates, and each of them can breathe on their own and provide energy for themselves - so I was resurrected before. The North Court collected my blood samples and said at that time that I was no different from normal people, but the degree of genetic mutation is relatively complicated. So I can tell you now - those little things were disguised at that time. It was as if there were many me alive - they were also alive."

"Now do you think I'm still a human?" He pointed to himself, "Don't look at his appearance."

Ying Jianran was silent for a while: "What's the result?"

"The result is this - we can sit here face to face, you are my good friend." Li Zhen said slowly, "I know you will mind. But speaking of it... whether it is human or species, we are all a family. You are here, you are here."

Ying Jueran felt that his thinking pattern was not much able to keep up with the information revealed by Li Zhen, so he sighed in his heart and decided to temporarily suppress his emotions and be a listener. So he said: "It seems that I am about to hear the secret of the origin of species and human beings - is this also your research result in the past six months?"

"No need to study, I just know that way." Li Zhen shook his head, "I swallowed that egg that day, and that egg also swallowed me - in a sense, we all existed differently from Chiyou and other species, not completely. But after that, as I told you, my condition became very good and pure. So many things will naturally be known."

"It's not a mysterious memory of the past, but the original memory. You see, humans are always instinctively afraid of many things. For example, the bone spurs on Chiyou's body, the eyeballs like snakes, and the scary faces - it seems that they will not cause any harm to people, but they are just fear. In fact, this is the memory buried deep in our genes - they slowly manifest as instincts. The ancestors of human beings fear them and knew they were terrible, so the instincts slowly passed down and turned into the current inexplicable fear - as for the 'pressure' I felt from the species before, it's the same thing. The instincts deep in the genes."

"So I got more... I would have integrated the fragmentary memories hidden deep in the genes together, and I would have known it by birth. I think if all human beings were integrated into one person, I would not know less than mine."

"Well... we're off topic. Let's talk about species and humans. In fact, both are... to some extent similar to my existence - split. It's just that this split took a long time... to be the word evolution, it barely works. In fact, a considerable number of species lived in the world thousands of years ago - they are the source of those myths and legends today. But later, for some reasons... they were silent, but now they are awakened again."

"You want to ask why they are silent and why they wake up." Li Zhen smiled slightly, "I know a little, but it's not exactly. So I have to figure it out. So I have to find someone to ask something, so I told you before, I'll go back tomorrow."

"I'll go and regain the forward base so that that person has more time to find the answer."

"When I came, I met another me, who called myself Li Wen. He asked me to figure out one thing - actually, I am now 'considering' this thing, which itself shows my own position. After all, memory is composed of past experiences and emotions, and it will seriously affect a person's consciousness. So whether it is you, Kesong, Kitakawa, or even my parents, it is affecting me... Tell me, I should actually help you, not watch you fight with the kind of people."

"So I already have an answer here. The next job is to find other people and let them accept this answer." Li Zhen looked at Ying Jueran, "What do you think?"
