Chapter 173
The first thing Mu Chen thought of, who was fidgeting, was how to escape from this closed room?
However, after Mu Chen studied it, he found that the room was really too closed, and the difficulty of successfully escaping was not ordinary.
This room only looks like a European and American retro pastoral style room. The doors and walls seem to be made of wooden materials.
However, when Mu Chen touched it with his hands, it was obvious that the doors, walls and floors of this room were actually made of smooth and hard metal materials, but disguised as wooden materials. That's it.
Moreover, this metal material is harder than imagined. Mu Chen used all kinds of sharp objects that could be found in the house to smash the door, the wall, and the floor, without leaving any traces on it.
So Mu Chen suddenly understood that this is a very strong "cage".
During Mu Chen's imprisonment, that strange man also provided Mu Chen with many books to pass his time in the cage. These books are diverse and cover a wide range of subjects, ranging from astronomy and geography to folk Novels are available in any genre.
It’s just that these books are very strange. Mu Chen found that these books seem to be foreign books, and the names and places in them are also foreign. Most of the contents are obscure and profound, but these books are carefully translated into Chinese, which can make Mu Chen understood.
The anxious Mu Chen couldn't enter a copy.
Mu Chen tried to ask the other party when he would let him out when the man gave him food or some supplies, but the man never paid attention to Mu Chen's question, and after a cold look at Mu Chen, he left the thing Just left.
Later, the man didn't even give Mu Chen food or anything personally. The one who sent him food became a small cylindrical robot less than one meter tall.
The little robot came in through the metal door of the room (a small door under the door panel), and put the food on the table for Mu Chen. It will be delivered every day when it arrives, and Mu Chen will also tidy up the dishes and the room.
Mu Chen tried to toss the robot. He even thought about preventing the robot from going out or coming in. He moved the table and chairs to block the door, but the robot’s power is so powerful that it can easily remove the things blocking the door. Restore what's blocking the door.
The robot's behavior mode is very single, and it will not do anything other than send things to Mu Chen and clean up the room.
Mu Chen destroyed the room to increase its workload, and attacked it with various items that could cause damage, but it was useless.
After many days of tossing to death, Mu Chen finally gave up doing these useless work.
Afterwards, he realized that the man who imprisoned him seemed to want him to stay in such a closed environment, or he deliberately created such a closed environment for him.
But why do you want to do this? Are you conducting some kind of experiment on him? Mu Chen remembered the previous man's words that he was just a guinea pig.
Mu Chen couldn't think a little anymore. As time passed bit by bit, repeated days, boring days and nights, made Mu Chen's concept of time become confused.
He couldn't distinguish between day and night, because the house he stayed in was too closed to see the sky outside, sunrise and sunset.
The collapse of the concept of time is only the first step, followed by the intense loneliness caused by long-term inability to communicate with others, and the increasingly serious claustrophobic reaction.
Mu Chen tried to alleviate this feeling by reading or reading books aloud. Although these books are all foreign translations, many of the allusions and meanings in them are not understood by Mu Chen.
But Mu Chen still read out the lines of the characters in the book aloud, trying to immerse himself in the world of the book. This is indeed somewhat effective, but unfortunately the effect is not significant.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Chen began to fall into a kind of mental confusion.
He started to have "illusions"...or, it wasn't an "illusion".
In the beginning, these "illusions" were not obvious or even noticeable. For example, when Mu Chen was concentrating on writing and recording his diary, he would find that the cup originally placed on his left hand side had moved to his right hand side at some time.
For another example, before going to bed, he took off the clothes he left on the floor, table, and chair at will. When he woke up, he would find that clothes were neatly hung on the hangers.
Also, when Mu Chen writes a diary or reads a book at the writing desk, he often messes up the desk. He does not deliberately clean up those books and papers, but occasionally when he recovers, he finds the desk. I don't know when it has become clean and tidy.
He used to think it was the little robot that would help him clean up the house, doing it for him while he was sleeping.
But then this situation began to increase, and often at the stage when Mu Chen himself didn't know it, he would find that the placement of some of his belongings changed.
It's like there is another person alive in this room. This person's life style is completely different from that of the casual Mu Chen. This person has a more regular schedule and strict living habits.
And this habit began to gradually erode Mu Chen in all aspects.
One day, Mu Chen found that he also habitually placed the cup on his right hand; habitually tidyed up or hung up his clothes before going to bed; habitually tidyed up the desk after finishing his diary and reading.
"What the **** is going on with me?" With a little horror, Mu Chen questioned herself like this from the bottom of her heart.
Then he quickly gave the answer.
The weird man did what he said, he gave Mu Chen a whole new life, and used this so-called "new life" to "ban" the original Mu Chen.
Mu Chen has really become a "other person". He not only has the appearance of another person, but also the habits of that person.
Next, it will not only be a habit, Mu Chen can also predict that that person's way of thinking and moral concepts will gradually replace Mu Chen's original.
He will look more and more like "that person", the person called Amu.
He will really become Amu.
Slowly replaced by others, the original self gradually disappears. In this regard, Mu Chen can't panic! He repeatedly urged himself to do something to stop this, but in fact, he did nothing.
It's not that Mu Chen didn't want to save himself, but when he realized his own crisis, he seemed to have been eroded too thoroughly.
Mu Chen had read and understood all the translations of the massive foreign language books that the weird man provided him without knowing it. Those profound words and knowledge gradually settled in Mu Chen's mind.
What’s even more frightening is that the man later provided Mu Chen with books not translated into Chinese, but books in pure foreign languages. Mu Chen could understand... Languages that he hadn’t learned at all, but he read Understand.
These books affected his thinking and personality, allowing him to personally disintegrate his worldview and reshape the Three Views.
Through the cultivation of living habits and book culture to make Mu Chen change imperceptibly, this is only one-sided.
Mu Chen soon ushered in the highlight in the following days.
He started to dream. What I dreamed of was the memory of Amu, Amu's fragmented life was repeatedly interpreted in Mu Chen's sleep.
Moreover, Mu Chen experienced A Mu's life from A Mu's perspective. Mu Chen was almost forced to substitute himself into that era, into the era three hundred years ago.
When Mu Chen woke up from a long dream, he finally understood why the man wanted to decorate the room in which he was imprisoned in such a retro European pastoral style. Because this room is decorated according to the room where Amu lived three hundred years ago.
The placement of beds, tables and chairs is exactly the same as before.
This caused Mu Chen to fall into a state of extreme trance. He could no longer judge the passage of time and the changes of time. He began to wonder who he was and where he was.
At this point, the alien's purpose has actually been successful.
Successfully "destroyed" the original Mu Chen and reshaped it into a new Amu.
……
"I have to marvel!" Zhou Yue, who had never spoken, and listened to the story with Mu Qin, said, "But this is... a **** shocking experience!"
Mu Qin said: "In other words, you are actually in a semi-forced and semi-submissive state, becoming the so-called ‘Amu’."
"I was really reluctant in the early stage, but I have completely accepted it in the later stage." Mu Chen replied, "Also, Amu has brought me a lot of benefits. Originally, I was an incompetent man with low self-esteem, cowardice and only complaining. Generations, but the influence of Amu on my habits and personality gave me a rebirth-like experience."
"I don't know if this situation is good or bad, but I'm too lazy to question it." Mu Chen said this, looking down at Mu Xing, who was quietly shrinking in his arms.
Mu Xing is looking at Mu Chen, eyes wide open, staring at Mu Chen intently. Mu Chen paused, and stretched out his hand to squeeze Little Xingxing's face.
"Look, he's just like me." Mu Chen looked at Little Xing Xing tenderly, but unceremoniously, he grabbed Mu Xing's chin and forced him to raise his head high.
Mu Xing couldn't resist, put his hands on Mu Chen's shoulders, and tilted his head obediently. This posture made him a little breathless, his eyes were wet and he looked pitiful.
"I was eroded by Amu, but this guy was completely affected by Axin." Mu Chen almost wanted to go up in person, but he still barely restrained himself.
"I'm sorry, what my brother did has caused you trouble, but unfortunately, he is also a **** in the chess game." Mu Chen said to Mu Qin, "I think the reason why he changed If this happens, I’m afraid it was calculated in advance."
"Just like turning me into Amu, he was also turned into Axin with invisible help."
Mu Qin's eyes flickered, his gaze back and forth on Mu Chen and Mu Xing, and then said in a low voice, "So the alien still fulfilled his promise to Helqiu. He really did it three hundred years later. Now, let Amu and Ashin "resurrect from the dead", albeit in such a way."
Mu Chen let go of the hand holding Little Xingxing, looked at Mu Qin and said: "Yes, it is true, but the fulfillment of this promise is a symbol of disaster for us."
Mu Qin didn't understand too much, he frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"I previously guessed that this alien’s home planet civilization was extinct, and he was traveling alone in the universe. And you asked me why I guessed this way? What is the basis?"
Mu Chen said: "I will give you the answer now. Do you still remember what appeared in my memory...the hundreds of coffins containing the corpses of aliens? And the aliens said.' They are all meat's words."
Mu Qin said: "The corpses can indeed prove that these aliens are dead, but just a few thousand corpses can't prove that the alien's mother galaxy is completely extinct, right?"
"You forgot, these magical aliens are'immortal'." Mu Chen said, "They can temporarily store their souls in a space similar to the edge world, and wait for new containers to be made. Attach the soul to the container and be reborn in a new posture."
"So these aliens do not have the concept of death, they are immortal." Mu Chen paused, and continued, "But the guy said to me,'They are dead' and said' Life is continued by plundering and murdering other lives."
Mu Qin had an epiphany, but this epiphany made him terrified, and even his back became cold: "Is it possible, do you mean...?"
"If Amu and Axin are successfully'resurrected' on me and Mu Xing." Although there is no evidence, although it is only speculation, Mu Chen can almost conclude, "That means the souls of those aliens , Can also be'reborn' in other humans."
"He used this resurrection experiment to test. He wanted his population to come back to life on the earth through the human body."
"It's impossible!" Mu Qin couldn't believe it. He thought it was a fantasy. "This kind of statement is too ridiculous!"
Mu Chen sighed: "I have no other explanation. This is the only answer I can think of. Because there is no evidence, I have only told a few of you about my guess at the moment."
