Chapter 365: Dawn

Thinker Novel Network

"Teacher, why can observation affect the result? I'm sorry, teacher... Am I too stupid to learn quantum physics?"

"It doesn't matter, you are not stupid. Quantum theory is not something that ordinary people can understand-it is not the observation that affects the result, but two results exist at the same time. Only when you observe, you will know what happened. Just imagine In Schrödinger’s classic thought experiment, a cat was locked in an absolutely airtight black box, and then put into a poison bottle controlled by a radioactive switch, which was filled with highly toxic cyanide. The decay speed of radioactive substances is not Sure, you never know when the switch will be triggered, and the cat could be alive or dead before you open the black box and watch, right?"

"Well... I seem to understand a little bit, but teacher, why did you use a cat for this experiment? Isn't it cruel?"

"No one has actually done this experiment... Probably not. This is just a thought experiment. That cat only exists in our imagination, so it's not so cruel. Besides, Schrödinger's cat is better than Schrödinger's cockroach." Does it sound good?"

"Haha, teacher, you are right, then I will try to think about it again."

"Well, think about it slowly, it doesn't matter if you think about it a few times."

...

It moved its ears and woke up.

There seemed to be some inexplicable conversations floating outside, illusory, as if they were close at hand, and as if they were far away in the sky. Before it had the thought of calling out for help, the outside quickly fell silent again.

What is this place?

There is a cold and hard metal feeling from under the body, which is somewhat familiar.

Wait a moment! Am I not dead?

It shivered excitedly, remembering! It was locked in an unbreakable metal black box with a strange black and white kitten. Then...it seemed to accidentally knock over a bottle.

bottle? What's in the bottle?

There seemed to be something in the bottle that made it feel extremely scary, not even the devil in hell was so scary!

The bottle was knocked over by it, and the faint taste of bitter almonds is still imprinted in its mind, with headache, nausea, depression, clenching of the teeth, convulsions all over the body, loss of consciousness, and entering the eternal darkness...

No, no, this must be a dream, it must be a nightmare! As long as I open my eyes, the dream is over, and I will still go back to that wax museum, squatting in front of the wax figure of the angel.

Backfired, it opened its eyes, still surrounded by bottomless darkness.

It has never been so panicked, what the hell is going on? This strange metal wall, the terrible darkness, the memory that I seem to have died once and then came back to life...

It stood up suddenly, eager to do something, it must not sit still!

"Meow~ Don't move around~"

It heard this voice again, and its body froze like a conditioned reflex. Not long ago, it seemed to accidentally knock over something, and then the smell of bitter almonds escaped...

"I'm not moving," it said, and after several mental struggles, it stretched its body as motionless as a wax figure. "Can you tell me what's going on? Am I dreaming? If I bite myself hard, can I wake up?"

"Meow~ I don't know what's going on, anyway, I was born here."

"Born here?" It laughed miserably, "Don't be kidding, no one is born here! Where are your parents? Where are your brothers and sisters? Where is your master? Did your master lock you up here? of?"

"Meow~ I don't know. I haven't met my parents, I haven't seen my brothers and sisters, I've been here since I can remember...By the way, who is the master you're talking about?"

It was a little tongue-tied when asked, "Master... The master is someone who gives you delicious food, gives you a warm place to sleep, and can play with you...I see, you must be the one who pissed off your master." That's why he locked you up here,

Let you learn a lesson! "

"Meow~ Is that so?" The black and white kitten's voice was full of confusion and uncertainty.

It seemed to have found a feasible way to escape from here, and exclaimed excitedly, "Yes! It must be like this! I bit the boss once, and my master locked me in a small black room to punish me... ...Your master, what is his name? Does he have a name? Can you tell me?"

"Meow~ name... the name I heard people mention the most is Schrödinger, is he my master?"

"Probably can't be wrong... Hey! The owner of the black and white kitten! Hey! Schrödinger! Where are you? You made a mistake! I am not your cat, punish it if you want, I did not make a mistake, don't punish me! Please Please let me out!" It raised its head to the sky and screamed until it almost cried.

It yelled countless times, but no one responded. It didn't stop to pant until its voice was so hoarse that it could no longer yell.

"Meow ~ name... I want a name too." The black and white kitten said in the dark.

It swallowed its saliva to lubricate its throat, and said hoarsely: "I said before, you have a name, you call yourself Xinghai, I met you in the wax museum, and you asked me if I played hide-and-seek, and then I don't know Why did it appear in this ghost place..."

"Meow ~ Xinghai...is this my name?"

"Probably yes." It said sarcastically, "Your name is quite big, the ocean of stars, isn't that the universe? Much bigger than this ghost place!"

The black and white kitten said again: "Meow~ Then my name is Xinghai... What is hide and seek? Is it fun?"

It heheed, and said angrily: "It's just one person hiding and one person looking for it. In my opinion, the level of fun is just average... But I liked you at the time."

"Meow ~ Xinghai wants to play hide and seek ~" the black and white kitten's tone was full of longing.

"Forget it, wait until you can leave here. Play hide-and-seek here, what if the bottle is knocked over again?" It said coldly. Has it shuddered at the bottle, playing hide-and-seek in this narrow black box? Forget it, it doesn't want to die again...

Wait a moment!

Die again?

Its head was a little dazed.

How many times have I died here?

Why can I think of such a terrible word "die again" so easily...

Why is the touch of that bottle so familiar, that I can almost outline the shape of the bottle in my mind, as if I have accidentally knocked it over many times?

It seems that the bottle can appear anywhere, no matter how you hide, you can't avoid it, it will be knocked over sooner or later, even if you don't touch it, the bottle seems to be overturned by itself...

That's how it is... Then, how many times is this my resurrection?

It fell into contemplation, its mind was completely occupied by these questions, and it didn't even have the strong desire to escape...

"Meow~ It's okay, just get used to it! Once you get used to it, it won't be so painful... Xinghai wants to play hide-and-seek!"

It woke up from contemplation, and roared loudly: "Kill me! Kill me quickly! Don't let me be resurrected again! Please, please, don't let me live without dignity!"

No matter how it shouted, there was still no response.

"Meow~ What is a wax museum?"

It didn't answer, and the black and white kitten kept asking.

Annoyed by the question, it had no choice but to say: "It's just a big room full of wax figures for others to visit. I don't know the rest, anyway, that's where I met you."

"Meow~ It sounds fun, but Xinghai has never left here..."

It thought for a while, "Maybe it will leave later. You looked happy and carefree at the time - don't say anything about admitting mistakes, I'm pretty sure that's you, my nose won't Error."

"Meow~ Will Xinghai be happy?"

It remained silent, and seriously recalled the short moment when it met the black and white kitten.

Thinking of the black and white kitten, thinking of the wax museum, it thought of the wax figure of the angel, the smile on her face is so innocent, her last words are so selfless...

It is very sure that it cannot last long in this black box like a black and white kitten.

The black and white kitten can survive, not because of its extraordinary talent, but because it has been here since its birth and is used to loneliness, but it can't, it has seen the world, it can't stand loneliness, and it will probably go completely crazy in a short time Lose.

Only once, even if only once, it has to become an angel, at least don't leave any regrets before losing its sanity.

It suddenly calmed down, it had never been so calm.

"You will be very happy." It imagined itself as an angel, and said softly: "That wax museum probably doesn't allow cats to enter. I didn't see anyone else with a cat there. You must have been sneaked in." ——It means that you will meet a new owner who loves you in the future, he will give you delicious food, let you sleep in a warm bed, play hide-and-seek with you, and secretly take you into the wax museum to make you happy ...So, you must persevere, and before the happy days come, no matter how painful you are, you must persevere, and don't fall into the darkness before dawn!"

After saying this, it suddenly felt extremely relaxed in its heart, and its body seemed to lose weight, and even life and death were no longer important.

It turns out that helping others is such a happy thing.

"Meow~meow~" the black and white kitten seemed to believe its words, and cried out happily.

If its few words can help the black and white kitten survive the endless cycle for a longer period of time, then it has probably fulfilled its mission and can relax, eat a piece of cookie, smell the fragrance of flowers, and gather around The angel twirled his feet, wagged his tail at her, and asked her to stroke his head...

It imagined a beautiful picture, lying quietly on the cold metal floor, waiting for its next death.

It accepted its fate and death calmly, but at the next moment it ushered in the dawn.
