Chapter 132 What will this mean?
"Of course, you don't have to be too depressed, because both are possible and the probabilities are similar," the detector further explained.
Xinghan didn't understand.
The detector was indeed cold, just like how this world treats the weak.
He clenched his hands into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he seemed to feel no pain.
Complex emotions surged in his heart: fear, expectation, unwillingness, relief...
All these emotions intertwined together, making it difficult for him to sort out his thoughts for a while.
"Rebirth..." He silently chanted this word in his heart, as if he saw a new self waiting for him in the future, full of infinite possibilities and hope. But then, the word "death" loomed over his heart like a shadow, and he couldn't help but shudder. He knew that no matter what the result was, it would completely change his current life trajectory and let him step into a new unknown field.
After a brief period of panic and struggle, Xinghan gradually regained his inner peace.
He took a deep breath and let the air in his chest slowly expel, as if he was also releasing those turbulent emotions.
His eyes refocused, becoming deep and firm, as if he was ready to face any outcome.
He spoke slowly, his voice was soft but very clear:
"Detector, if...if it is true as you said, I am facing death, then what does this mean?"
The detector was silent for a moment, as if sorting out complex theoretical information, and then replied in its unique calm tone:
“Xinghan, from the perspective of quantum mechanics, death is not the end in the traditional sense, but the transformation and reorganization of matter and energy in a higher dimension. At this level, every particle and every bit of energy is constantly exchanging and interacting with other parts of the universe.
Therefore, even if your body stops functioning on a physical level, your consciousness, your memories, and even all the unique information and energy you possess may continue to exist in the universe in some form.”
"Of course, this is just a theoretical speculation. At present, the scientific community still has many unsolved mysteries about quantum phenomena after death. But in any case, it reminds us that there is a profound and subtle connection between life and the universe, and this connection may be the key to our exploration of the meaning of life and the mysteries of the universe."
Hearing this, Xinghan raised a faint smile and a mischievous light flashed in his eyes.
He said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Haha, it seems that I asked the wrong question. In fact, I want to know what it would be like if I faced death in this fantasy world and in the story of Feng Xing?"
The detector seemed a little surprised by such non-scientific questions, but then quickly adjusted its state.
The instrument started working again and performed some unique "thinking".
After a moment, it replied in a slightly humorous tone:
"In the world of fantasy, especially in legendary stories like Feng Xing, death is often not the end, but the beginning of another journey. You may continue to exist as a soul, looking for a chance to be reborn;
Or you can become a heroic spirit that protects this continent, and protect everything you cherish in another way. Of course, this also depends on the karma and fate you have accumulated in this world. "
Xinghan interrupted and said calmly,
"Oh? Then won't I become a phoenix, be reborn from the ashes, and then soar in the sky, becoming the focus of everyone? Or will I become a talking spirit beast, serving as the protagonist's pet, and making a few comments from time to time?"
The detector replied seriously:
“Xinghan, you do have a rich imagination. But according to the conventional settings of the fantasy world, your specific form and fate will depend on many factors, including but not limited to the strength of your soul, the cause and effect of your previous life, and the rules of the current world, etc.”
Xinghan was bored by this answer. It was too ordinary and not special at all. He smiled helplessly and shook his head:
"Haha, it seems that I am more suitable to be a bystander, watching you intelligent entities and fantasy elements dancing around me. After all, I don't want to become some strange creature or be involved in some complicated love-hate relationship."
The detector's machine operation sound became even smaller, and it seemed to be thinking: "Indeed, everyone has their own role. Perhaps, in this fantasy world, you are the traveler who observes and records everything from a unique perspective."
After Xinghan heard the detector's suggestion that he become a traveler, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of helplessness and irony. He shook his head slightly, raised a bitter smile, and said:
"Oh, a traveler? It sounds pretty cool, traveling around, free and unfettered. But in the final analysis, haven't I just become an NPC in this fantasy world? I move around according to the established plot every day, occasionally handing off tasks to the protagonists, or serving as a background board to witness their glory and love and hate. Such a life is really 'colorful'."
At this point, Xinghan deliberately prolonged his tone, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "It's better to just lie down, at least you can save some energy and don't have to bother playing any role. In this fantasy world, maybe you can find a paradise, grow crops, raise flowers, and live a leisurely life away from the world."
The probe's calm voice sounded again. It obviously did not catch the irony in Xinghan's words. It just faithfully executed its program and asked:
"Xinghan, if you are interested in the 'lying flat' lifestyle, I can analyze the feasibility of this option for you in the current environment. According to my calculations, although this lifestyle can reduce stress and conflict in some aspects, it may also cause you to miss many opportunities for growth and exploration. Do you want to know more about this?"
Xinghan couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. He shook his head and thought to himself that this detector was really "talking nonsense in a serious manner."
He suppressed his laughter and replied in a helpless yet amusing tone: "Haha, detector, you are so cute. I think I may not need you to analyze the feasibility of 'lying flat' for me. After all, it was just a joke I made on the spur of the moment. In this fantasy world full of unknowns and miracles, I would rather keep an exploratory heart and pursue those stories and experiences that truly belong to me."
He thought to himself: "Even if I think so, I can't tell a detector. It can't understand the complex emotions of humans, let alone the true emotions hidden behind jokes. The communication between us is ultimately just a collision of data and instructions, lacking the resonance that warms people's hearts."
Thinking of this, Xinghan sighed softly and refocused his eyes on the detector's cold and precise optical sensor. He realized that although the detector could not understand his emotions like humans, it was his most reliable partner in this unknown world.
Whether it is exploring the unknown or facing sudden challenges, the probe will unconditionally execute his orders and provide him with the necessary support.
So, Xinghan put away the subtle emotions in his heart and put on a more determined expression. He took a deep breath and said to the detector: "Okay, detector, let's get back to the point. Next, I need you to assist me in a deeper spiritual exploration and prepare for possible dangers. Let's uncover more secrets of this fantasy world together."
Upon hearing this, the detector immediately responded, "Understood, Xinghan. As long as you give clear instructions, I will do my best to provide the greatest assistance for your expedition."
After that, the probe seemed to want to go deeper. It asked politely: "Xinghan, if you are interested in the setting of the fantasy world, can I convert the simulation conditions of the probe into the worldview of Fengxing so as to answer your question more accurately?"
Xinghan's eyes turned deep when he heard this. He thought helplessly that the detector still didn't understand.
Finally, he shook his head gently, with a gentle smile on his face: "No need, detector. I enjoy this unknown and imaginative space.
In this world with Feng Xing, no matter it is science or fantasy, every possibility is full of charm.
I think it is these unknowns and imaginations that are our driving force for exploring the world. Let's keep this sense of mystery, it will make my journey more exciting.
Besides, if you intervene, the consequences are unpredictable. The world might collapse, right? "
