Chapter 609 What Has Happened, What Has Been Done
The air was quiet for a while.
Song Shi exhaled deeply.
At this moment, he thought of many things, and those very different but not negligible thoughts circled in his mind, until he spoke out, but it turned into another sentence.
"——There are two points."
Song Shi raised his index finger and middle finger.
"First of all, this idea is indeed very attractive, but as the president, do you know how many people I meet every day who sell me ideas with PPT?"
"The Silent Society is indeed powerful, but to achieve this kind of thing, Mr. Mortimer, forgive me for being frank, your [Infinity of All Things] has not been completed yet, right? What you said is just a theoretical concept of the complete body."
"The truth is what we believe, so I will tell the truth."
Mortimer smiled: "The answer is, correct, the current [Infinity of All Things] is indeed not at the level we expected."
"But it can already do some incredible things."
Song Shi said the subtext for the other party, and he sighed sincerely: "Fighting against historical figures. I guess your test will not put me into the history of the reappearance of [Infinity of All Things]."
The latter clapped his hands.
"You're very quick to react. If my students had half your talent, they wouldn't always give me a headache."
"Don't bother with your brain. It's been talked about this point. It would be strange if you still can't guess it." Song Shi shook his head slightly: "You have completed the anchoring and deduction of historical nodes, but if you want to truly realize the infinite rollback and infinite choice of Terra, you still lack a link, how to go back to the past and restart Terra."
"A very difficult problem." Mortimer sighed: "The law of space and time and the law of causality, either one is a miracle that is difficult to touch."
"——'Difficult'." Song Shi noticed the words he chose.
"Hmm." Mortimer threw it aside lightly without responding: "Go on, your second point."
"How about you guess what I'm going to say?"
Song Shi raised his head slightly.
"This is really a very easy challenge."
Mortimer waved his hand, and a cup of black coffee appeared out of thin air. He took a sip, and his eyebrows slowly relaxed.
The next second, he casually threw away the half-remaining coffee and the cup, and stood up.
"What kind of future is the best choice? You want to ask this, right?"
"This maple syrup pancake is too sweet, and it makes my tongue a little greasy."
Song Shi pointed his index finger at the second layer of the dessert tower, and the amber syrup was poured over every inch of the pancake, which looked very pleasing.
"On the contrary, the strawberry tart is very good. The strawberries are fresh and have not been radiated. The cream is also moderately sweet and the foam is just right."
Song Shi pointed to the other side, a small red and white pastry: "Then the question is, the maple syrup pancake I ate earlier took up a little of my stomach, resulting in less strawberry tart. Is this the best solution? Definitely not. Do I need to use [Infinity of All Things] to reset my choice? Don't touch the maple syrup pancake from the beginning."
Mortimer laughed.
"This is the crux of the problem. We always think that what we don't have is the best, and we endlessly pursue higher, better and more wonderful choices. But is this really a 'problem'?"
Mortimer held up half of his face leisurely: "Did I make the worst choice? Most people have thought so. However, whether it is actually the worst choice or not, they will think so - but compared to the problem, I prefer to call it a desire for beauty."
"Answer your question, Song Shi."
"If we achieve the true [Infinity of All Things], do you think we will endlessly roll back history and make endless choices?" The man sneered: "It's too much of an insult to our eight thousand years of tradition. I accept it. "
"——What has happened must happen again, and what has been done must be done again."
Mortimer let go of his hand and raised his index finger: "Even though the spirit of 'Record and Truth' is from beginning to end, there are differences between the practitioners born from it, but this is the only point that practitioners of all generations, including the Silent Society, have always understood. "
"We don't know where the only optimal solution is, but we don't need to know. We only know that at least Terra is definitely not at this moment, and that's enough. "
"Listen carefully, Song Shi."
"Everything we do is not to be a group of cowards who indulge in history. "
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!
Those cynical attitudes suddenly disappeared without a trace at some point.
In the eighth millennium of the birth of "Record and Truth", one of the leaders of contemporary practitioners, "the pretender", Mortimer Condetans, said calmly.
"Everything we do is to move forward."
"Really? But in my opinion, the difference between the two is not that big."
Song Shi's smile was restrained at some point, and his pupils flowed with a soul-stirring stream of flames, just like every moment in the past, always burning.
"No matter how beautiful it sounds, 'the next chance to choose', this point remains unchanged." Song Shi said lightly: "Incarnation, clone, brain transplant, memory rewrite, possession. Whether it is technical means or psychic means, even if all these things are counted, everyone is still a life in the macro sense. We move forward in our lives without the opportunity to choose again. It is precisely because we know this that we can burst out with the most fierce and surging heat."
"A pawn crossing the river can only advance but not retreat, but once you know that you have the 'next chance to choose', then everything will become light and airy."
Song Shi shook his head: "Don't even mention that you can use memory cutting. Even if it is the 'brain in a jar', I have heard of examples of breaching containment. Those things that come from instinct or even deeper than instinct will not be affected by mere memory cutting."
"Quantum Zeno effect." Mortimer snapped his fingers: "The act of observation itself causes the possibility to collapse."
"【Infinity of All Things】is indeed incredible, and can be called a miracle. The vision of eight thousand years can also be called the peak of Terra." Song Shi said calmly: "But I think the future chosen by this kind of thing is too superficial."
At this time, Mortimer's shoulders gradually shook, his right hand covered his face, and then slowly moved up until he lifted his golden bangs, revealing a smile from the bottom of his heart that seemed uncontrollable.
"Hahahaha. Hahaha! That's it!"
Mortimer was excited, even to the point of being almost ecstatic. He chuckled and pointed his index finger at the young man on the sofa in front of him.
"——So we are psychics!"
