On the night he came back from the villa, Chu Yunsheng began to have nightmares again. But it was different from the past. When he woke up, he could still remember a few vague fragments of the dream. In the end, there seemed to be a voice asking him, 'Who am I?'.
When Song Ying asked him this strange question, she was very lucky that Chu Yunsheng answered it for her. But now it was his turn. Who should he ask?
Just like the Pythagorean theorem in mathematics could not be proved by the derivation of the Pythagorean theorem itself, the question of "Who am I?" could not be answered by himself, and he could not prove himself!
In the middle of the night, Chu Yunsheng was tortured by this question. He couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. Probably because he ate something bad that night, his stomach kept growling. So he simply took the toilet paper, squatted on the toilet, and continued to think about this question that was completely beyond the scope of an engineer.
Thinking about himself, thinking about other people, thinking about Song Ying, thinking about him and everyone around him, his thoughts gradually spread out and became unrestrained. The thoughts on the toilet were often like wild horses out of control, galloping without boundaries and burdens. Even the stupidest person could occasionally produce one or two wonderful flashes of light here.
In Chu Yunsheng's more than 20 years of life, for the first time, he summed up a seemingly ordinary but quite profound question: Am I living in someone else's world, or am I living in someone else's world?
Combined with Song Ying's question, he successfully transformed the question of "Who am I?" This successfully transformed into another question: Do I exist because you see me, or because I see you?
In this way, there would not be any clear answer to this kind of question, because this question itself was the meaning of everyone's existence. Chu Yunsheng was a pragmatist. Even if he had the answer to these questions, he would not think that it was of much use. It was just a philosopher's nonsense. So when he finished wiping his butt, he quickly threw these headache-inducing but useless questions to the back of his mind and flushed them away with the water in the toilet.
But when he tried to stand up from the toilet, the moment he raised his head, his face suddenly became pale, his pupils rapidly enlarged, and his face was full of horror.
It might have been a second, or it might have only been half a second. In front of him, right in front of the toilet bowl, less than a few centimeters away, a bloody man appeared. His entire body was covered with bloody wounds, and it was a horrible sight to behold. His muscles were squeezed out of his dark armor, and inside, there were traces of eerie white bones. Broken and protruding, there were strands of flesh and blood stuck to it. Just one look was enough to make one's skin crawl, and a chill spread throughout their limbs and bones.
When he saw the bloody man, the bloody man also saw him. It was like looking into a mirror.
In horror, Chu Yunsheng fell on the toilet, and his breathing became rapid. The bloody man disappeared, and there was no trace of blood on the ground, as if it had never appeared.
Chu Yunsheng knew that if this was an illusion, he would be in big trouble. Because not long ago, he had seen this bloody face in the mirror, and the two were almost exactly the same!
But after the monster incident in the secret experimental site, Chu Yunsheng's nerves had become a lot thicker, and his mind was still very clear. When he saw the same bloody face twice in a row, it immediately reminded him of an American movie he had watched before. A genius mathematician and economist named Nash, after he created the famous Nash equilibrium theory, he suffered from a strange disease called "delusional schizophrenia". From then on, he could see a strange man that other people could not see at all, and in fact, he did not even exist.
"Am I also suffering from schizophrenia?"
Chu Yunsheng calmed his heart that was beating wildly because of the fright, lifted his pants and thought gloomily.
Of course, he did not plan to go to the hospital to take an X-ray or do an MRI. After carefully examining his behavior and actions, he found that other than running into Bloody Face, everything else was normal. He did not seem to be the behavior of a mental patient.
But who could guarantee that what people with mental illness saw was definitely not real?
Chu Yunsheng could not help but think so, but he could not help but be deeply vigilant of himself for having such a thought. He spat a few times to get rid of these abnormal and very dangerous thoughts.
He had forgotten that recently, he had quit his job, sold his house, and wantonly prepared doomsday supplies. In the eyes of others, especially in the eyes of his acquaintances, wasn't he crazy!?
The next morning, Chu Yunsheng was wrapped in the quilt and fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.
Chu Yunsheng guessed that it was to check the water meter. A few days ago, he had told the property management company that his house was going to be sold, and asked them to arrange the water meter operator from the water company to come and settle the bill.
So he did not think too much about it. He put on a coat and opened the door while yawning. He was also familiar with the water meter operator. He was a young man, so it was not a taboo for him to look untidy.
But when he opened the door, he was stunned. The person standing outside the door was not the water meter operator he was familiar with, but Song Ying, who was wearing a small white down jacket.
Looking at Chu Yunsheng who was only wearing a pair of underpants and a coat, Song Ying covered her mouth and laughed, "aren't you going to invite me in?"
"How did you know I live here?" Chu Yunsheng immediately became alert. He blocked the door frame and said, "how do you know I live here?"
Song Ying bent down and got into the room from under his arm. She looked around the messy living room, blinked her eyes and said, "not only do I know that you live here, but I also know where you are moving to. I am here to help you move."
Chu Yunsheng thought that with her background, it shouldn't be a problem for her to find out where he lived. But no one would be happy if someone knew everything about them. So he said in a displeased tone, "No, thank you for your kindness, but I don't think it's necessary. You'd better stay away from me. To tell you the truth, every time I see you, I get scared! "
Song Ying turned around and closed the door. Without saying a word, she pulled Chu Yunsheng through the bedroom and walked to the balcony. She pointed at a black SUV at the corner of the road and said, "if I stay far away from you, you will be in danger. They are watching you 24 hours a day. I said that I will protect you."
Chu Yunsheng was startled. He skipped the last sentence and asked in a deep voice, "who are they?"
Song Ying looked at the black SUV indifferently and said, "they are from the military. They were sent by the laboratory that we have been to."
Chu Yunsheng wanted to ask, "how do you know?" But when he thought of Song Ying's identity, she naturally knew more than him, so he changed the question, "why?"
Song Ying dragged Chu Yunsheng, who was still wearing underpants, to the bedroom and whispered in his ear, "I guess your house has been bugged by them. Let's talk in the car."
Chu Yunsheng was startled and looked at her suspiciously.
"You don't believe me?" Song Ying said aggrievedly, "I will call someone to find it for you."
Then she took out her phone and dialed a number. Chu Yunsheng didn't stop her. Everything happened so suddenly. He didn't expect that someone would be watching his every move. Although he still didn't believe it, he still wanted to see if it was true.
While Song Ying was on the phone, Chu Yunsheng hurried her to the living room and quickly put on his clothes.
Not long after he put on his clothes, Song Ying opened the door, and a burly man came in. Chu Yunsheng knew this man. He had seen him in the secret laboratory before. He once lifted him up.
The burly man looked at Chu Yunsheng with an unfriendly look. He was carrying a box in his hand. He moved away the messy shoes and instant noodle boxes in the living room, put them on the ground, and skillfully assembled them. It didn't take long for him to assemble a set of equipment that Chu Yunsheng had never seen before.
The burly man named Jiang was holding an instrument in one hand and a rectangular terminal in the other. He was searching around Chu Yunsheng's small room. After a while, he found two listening devices under Chu Yunsheng's nose. One was behind the refrigerator in the living room, and the other was inside the plug box in the bathroom.
The burly man didn't destroy the listening device. He just pointed it out to Chu Yunsheng and Song Ying, and said in a low voice, "there is a more advanced one in the bedroom, but I can't find it for now."
Chu Yunsheng panicked at first, then he couldn't help but get angry. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling. 'Why are these bastards spying on me? Even the bathroom is equipped with a monitoring device! '
He glared at Song Ying fiercely. Although the people who spied on him were abominable, wasn't she the root of all the trouble?
Song Ying was afraid of Chu Yunsheng, but the burly man surnamed Jiang was not. He probably saw that Chu Yunsheng was "bullying" Song Ying, so he snorted coldly, "if you don't have any problems, they would have already left. Do you think these things don't cost a lot of money?"
Hearing what he said, Chu Yunsheng immediately felt guilty. It was not that he was afraid of the burly man surnamed Jiang, but he did have a big secret, and that was the ancient book. For the time being, it was a secret that absolutely could not be revealed.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng was embarrassed, Song Ying immediately pulled the burly man and said, "uncle Jiang, please go over there first, make sure to check it thoroughly."
The three of them formed a strange circle. The burly man surnamed Jiang protected Song Ying, Song Ying protected Chu Yunsheng, Song Ying was afraid of Chu Yunsheng, and the burly man surnamed Jiang listened to Song Ying.
The burly man surnamed Jiang nodded his head and gave Chu Yunsheng a warning glance. Then he carried his things and walked downstairs. Chu Yunsheng also calmed down and sat on the sofa in the living room, thinking about countermeasures.
Judging from the current situation, the people who spied on him should not have discovered the secret of the ancient book yet, otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting here now.
Next, there was no doubt that Song Ying already knew about the two houses in Mingdu Garden, so it would not be a secret anymore. Moving to another place now would be futile. With the enemy's powerful force, even if he moved to the deserted island of Chong Ming, it would still be useless. The enemy knew everything about him.
What he needed to do now was to absolutely not let the ancient book be exposed, at least until Tian Gui arrived.
As for the storage of supplies, he had been doing it during this period of time. The enemy also did not take any action against him, so it should not be a big deal.
But he also realized that he could not spread the word about the end of the world anymore, including posting on the internet. Otherwise, he would disappear from the world in a second.
At this point, it was useless to blame anyone. Fortunately, the little girl Song Ying still had a little conscience. With her "big umbrella", maybe those people in the military would not dare to act recklessly for the time being.
After making up his mind, Chu Yunsheng no longer refused Song Ying's help to move. He needed her help to keep him safe for more than a month.
