Chapter 6 Part Five: The First Strange Dream

Zinney began to tell his story again, and the following is his experience.In order to make it easier for you to accept what he said, I have retained his first person, it is all his words, his experience.Please note that I am Sinney in quotation marks and my responses are in parentheses. Bai Lai and I paid a lot of money to Bain.Because Bayin has repeatedly claimed that what he sold us is a real antique, so old that no one can tell the origin and year of this thing, and, even in the palace, the same thing can't be found, so we bought it down.And when Bain handed the thing to us, he left in a hurry.You've seen that thing before, but you don't know what it is. Both Bai Lai and I know that we have been fooled, but there is no other way.

Bailey's temper is very eccentric, and he has almost no other friends except me.Although we stayed in that ancient temple with other people, we didn't communicate with other people. We just lived our own lives in a very dilapidated small room. We don't have much to say about our lives. I can't remember how we used this box as a pillow. When we found out that we were cheated, we kept putting it in the corner of the room. Before going to bed that night, Bailey After dragging the box out and laying down, we used it as a pillow.You've seen that box. Bai Lai and I slept on one side, and it was easy to talk. As usual, marijuana made us gradually fall asleep.Usually we rarely dream, but this night the situation is different.

I emphasize again that after that, for about ten nights in a row, I had the same dream every night, and the dream was exactly the same. Later, even in the dream, I could connect it with my own memory.The beginning of the dream is that I have arrived at a place. As I said, this dream is difficult to describe in words.Not in the first place.All I can say is, I've arrived at a place.But that's very imprecise.Because I am not there at all, but I just feel that I am here, what should I say?It might be easier for you to understand that way.It's like being in a movie theater surrounded by screens, where the surroundings of your body are all scenes of a place. Do you feel like you are in that place?In fact, you are not there.

(Somewhat understandable, but not very easy to understand.) I got to the place, what was it, I can't say, it was like a room, I should say a space, filled with a soft light, I couldn't see anything else, but I felt somebody, at first, I just felt somebody , and didn't see anything, until later, there were a few figures sitting vaguely. I can hear very clearly and hear people talking.It was indescribable, and I heard a language I had never heard before.But I understood it perfectly, or I should not say understood it, but as soon as the sound entered my senses, I understood its meaning.Or maybe there is no sound entering my ears at all, just the feeling that someone else's thoughts are poured into my head suddenly, do you understand?

(Don't quite get it yet, but as long as Shinney hears someone talk, what matters is what he hears!) I first heard a voice saying: What is the final decision? Have you reached any conclusions?Then there was a silence, and another voice said that all voices are actually the same, and that there might be no voice at all, just my own perception. (It doesn't have to be so detailed! What did the other voice say?) Another voice said: There is a final decision: expel those people, they can no longer be allowed to stay with us, live with us, send them away, the farther the better!Another said: The question is where should they be sent?The voice said: Yes, the plan has been delayed because no suitable place could be found.Now we have found a place, which is not very ideal, where they can barely live.

(I don’t understand, it’s really like talking in sleep, but I have to listen patiently.) The first voice is like the moderator. They must be discussing something in a meeting. I will call that voice the moderator to make it easy for you to understand. (Nod, it's easier to understand if numbered.) (The host’s voice said: Where is it? A voice said: It’s a satellite of a seventeenth-level luminous star, with an atmosphere. Because the atmosphere is not thick enough, it is greatly affected by the luminous star itself, and the temperature difference is also very large. The highest may reach over 82%, and the lowest is minus over 104%.

(I don't understand, what kind of temperature calculation method is this?) The host said: That's not okay, if you can't adapt to this temperature, it will cause a lot of deaths.A voice said: They can be taught how to adapt.Let them learn from the original creatures on this planet.In order to adapt to the temperature on the star, the existing creatures on that star have thick hair on their bodies.The host said: We can't make them grow thick hairs to keep out the cold, so we have to teach them to use thick hairs to cover their bodies.In terms of high temperature, it can barely survive. How about the necessary part in the air layer?A voice said: One fifth, less than fifty percent, can live, but will become dull and less energetic.Relative humidity is only suitable for short periods of time and in some areas, and in most cases, it will be uncomfortable!

(Which place is this? Where is the satellite of the seventeenth-level luminous star?) The host said: There is nothing that can be done, this is the most merciful way, they must not stay here!How is the food there?A voice said: It is enough, of course it depends on how they use it.The host seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and after a while, he said again: The most important question now is, should they keep their hair? As I have already said, I don't actually hear someone speak, but I just feel the sound coming in, and there is an idea in my mind.All ideas come from the sound of feeling, I can fully understand, only the word hair, I feel very vague.When I discussed it with Burley, he felt the same way.But we couldn't find any other ideas.What those people are talking about must be about hair, you have to take my word for it.

(I believe, but I really don't understand, what's so important about hair? Listening to what Sinney said here, I already had a vague idea that it was a meeting, and the meeting was discussing how to send a group of unwelcome people to Go to another place. However, I don’t know when and where it was a meeting. Did Britain send criminals to Australia in the 16th century? Russia sent criminals to Siberia in the 19th century? Or China sent criminals to Siberia in the 20th century to Heilongjiang?) (Another voice said that our shape is determined by genetic factors, and our appearance cannot be changed. Their appearance has to remain the same as ours. Maybe after a long time, there will be slight changes in their appearance due to their living environment, but They will never change completely differently, they will still have hair growing out. However, we can make the function of hair disappear completely, which is possible. The host said: OK, that's it.

(The function of the hair? What special function does the hair have? It really becomes more and more inexplicable!) By this time, I saw figures, about seven, seven hazy figures, the same as our common people, with very long hair. At the same time as I saw human figures, I also saw a large number of people within a certain range of this space, so many, so many, I couldn't tell how many there were.At least tens of thousands of people gather together to give people the feeling that there are so many people. (When did the large-scale deportation of criminals happen? There seems to be no such record in history!)

The host continued: "The functions of the hair will disappear, and their intelligence will be reduced to close to idiots!"The rest of the people were silent for a moment, and then a voice said: This is probably the case, but the genetic factors cannot be completely eliminated, passed down from generation to generation, the genetic factors have a chance of mutation, and we cannot estimate what will happen in the future.Moreover, the memory part of genetic factors cannot be completely eliminated.The host seemed a little surprised: would they remember this?A voice said: It's not a memory, but an extremely vague impression. The host sighed: This is another problem. If they have an impression, they will definitely want to come back, and our goal is to prevent them from coming back, unless some of them suddenly become able to adapt to our life here. It's a big problem! A voice said: Actually it doesn't matter, that place, in the light of the seventeenth-level luminous planet, there is excessive radiation, which makes life short.Moreover, their hair has no original function, so they can't break through the limitation of time and space, and they can't achieve their goals even if they use other methods. (It’s the function of hair again. What’s the function of hair? The hair grows on the skull, so what’s the function? Anyone who shaves his hair clean or grows his hair three feet long will have no effect on this person’s life Has any effect, what's the use of hair?) At this time, a voice that had never spoken before said, "According to what you all mean, if you send them away, you don't care about them at all?"After this person said this, there was a long silence, and then the host asked: What proposal do you have?The voice said: I suggest that after a certain period of time, we can send someone to check it out.As I said just now, if their descendants are passed down from generation to generation, and some of them are suitable for our lives, we should let them come back! There was another silence, and the host said: "This is quite difficult. They have all been checked in detail and proved to have a very strong evil factor. Who do you think can take on such a job?"The voice said: We may train a few people, and I already have a few people in my mind who can take on this job.The host said: This is an extremely difficult job. How many people are volunteers?You must know that it is extremely dangerous to send them to that place and live among those people!According to our estimates, after the gradual recovery of intelligence, the consciousness of evil will definitely be higher than the consciousness of kindness! The host said: How many people will there be in that place at that time?You only send a few people, isn't it too dangerous?The voice said: Of course it is dangerous, but we should do this to let those who are qualified to come back.I've been training four people, one of them, my only son. Then, there was another silence, and then the host's voice: OK, your proposal has been accepted!After all, exiling them is a last resort, that place is not suitable for living, and I also believe that after a few years, there will always be some people who are eligible to come back!Then there was the sound of footsteps, and the host's voice again: Let's go and see how these people are. Sinney stopped here. Everyone must remember that Xinni narrated his dream to me twice, each time, he stopped here, and when he stopped twice, there was a very strange look on his face. When he stopped here for the first time, I didn't rush him because I needed time to digest everything he had said.I recorded almost everything that Sinney said verbatim, and you can naturally see that his dreams are indeed difficult to digest. What kind of dream is this?Before he paused, he didn't even see anything but figures, and he heard a lot of conversations in his dream (it was a conference going on).The content of the meeting is to send a group of people (mostly criminals) to another place, which is a kind of deportation.The places where the deportees are going are not suitable for living, but barely survivable.Moreover, criminals (assumed to be criminals) seem to undergo some kind of operation to reduce their intelligence and make them look like idiots before being sent to the garrison.Among the participants in these meetings, opinions were also very different.They affirmed that after several generations the intelligence of the deportees would gradually recover, but in any case not to the original degree. Then, one of the participants in the council was particularly kind, considering that after some years, some of the descendants of the garrisoners might be completely different from their ancestors, and the inheritance of evil was reduced to zero, he argued that These people should be able to come back and not be left alone.So he advocated sending people to the garrison to choose the good ones to return. This person has even decided to send four people to do this dangerous work, and these four people are volunteer workers, and one of them is the one who put forward this idea. the only begotten son of man. This is the impression I get when I think over Sinney's account.And at that moment, I suddenly had a very strange idea. I vaguely felt that the conversation in the meeting that Sinney told me seemed very familiar to me, not unfamiliar.In particular, I am not unfamiliar with the section about the only son of the person who made this claim, but at the time, I couldn’t remember where my familiar impression came from.At that time, I thought about it for about ten minutes, and Xinni also stopped for ten minutes. I didn't ask until I had a little idea: Is the dream over? Sinney: No. I didn't press him any further, so, after a minute or so, he started telling his dream again. When the host said that he would go to see the situation of those people, I also saw those people.Those people, at least tens of thousands, walked out of a spherical white building.The white building has seven doors in total, and people come out of each door. These people move in a very orderly manner, lined up, and they walk forward. They each walk towards a very strange thing, that thing, Like an olive, magnified 100 million times, these people walked in one after another. I can see clearly.What do you think those people look like?Like us, like you and me, taller.What impresses me the most is their expressions. Almost everyone is the same, with straight eyes and no expression at all. When I discussed with Bai Lai, I agreed that it was the expression of idiots.And tens of thousands of idiots are marching forward together, which is really frightening. (That's pretty scary!) What's even more strange is that so many people with dull expressions were walking forward in a row by themselves. I didn't see other people, but there were some strange-looking animals wandering in the distance of the open space.what kind of animalI can't tell at all, some are like a mixture of cow and horse, which is half cow and half horse, and some are a mix of dog and horse. It's so weird! (It must have been so strange, so strange that it was beyond Shinney's knowledge, so he couldn't say it exactly.) Then, the weirdest thing happened. Those huge olive-like things were at least 500 meters long. After all the people climbed on them, they suddenly made an astonishingly loud noise and shot into the sky with a dazzling flame. Get up and fly away! When the deafening sound and flames gradually disappeared, I heard the strange voice of the host again, as if he was talking to another person: When are you going to carry out your plan?The man said: After twelve cycles.The host said: How many generations do you think their changes have been passed down?The man sighed: at least ten thousand generations!The time there was different than here, and they couldn't overcome the final hurdle.It was you who commanded that the function of their hair has been lost forever! The voice of the moderator is also a little helpless: it is not my opinion alone, it is decided by the meeting.In fact, we are already benevolent enough!The man was silent for a long while, as if he did not agree, and then said: The four people who volunteered to do this dangerous work, when they go, will carry out the same rebirth as we here. Mr. Wei, please pay attention, what happened to Bailai and me in the future has a very important relationship with this sentence. This person mentioned the word "rebirth".At that time, the host said again: May they succeed!We have overcome the difficulty of death, and there are twenty cycles!I still don't understand what our scientists explained to those people.After those people died, there was nothing left?The man said: It’s not that there is nothing left. After death, we are in an illusory realm, just like before we found a way to regenerate, and we cannot find life again.The host didn't make a sound, just hummed twice, and there was no sound since then, and at that time, I woke up too! The latter part of Sinney's narration sounds even more incomprehensible. After thinking about it for a while, I found that his narration has no direct relationship with Bailey's death. Under the dim light, I fixed him with puzzled eyes.Sinney sighed: Mr. Wei, I have had the same dream for seven or eight nights in a row, but Bai Lai is different from me. I was a little annoyed: Didn't you say that Bai Lai's dream was exactly the same as yours? Xinni said: Yes, after the dream, we discussed the content of the dream in detail every time we woke up from the dream.It was a very strange dream.You just listen to me, and you may not feel the shocking feeling when you experience this dream.After connecting for seven or eight days, I went out to buy food that day, and Bai Lai stayed alone in the ancient temple.At that time, we had already attached great importance to this ancient relic, so we left only one person to guard it. I took a breath, and Xinni continued: When I came back, I saw Bai Lai hugging that thing tightly, and an extremely indescribable brilliance appeared on his face.I've never seen him so happy when he saw me coming back and exclaimed, "Sinney, I see!"I totally get it!I'm a little baffled: what do you understand?Bai Lai patted me hard on the head, and said: Xinni, I'm sorry, when you left, I made myself have a new dream. I snorted: Xinny, what do you mean, Bai Lai was unfaithful to you?He used that thing to get himself a new dream, and the content of this dream, you don't know. Sinney ignored the hints in my words, because I always believed that Sinney killed Bai Lai for some reason, and if Bai Lai's behavior made him angry, it was one of the reasons! Sinney shook his head: I didn't mean to blame him, at least I thought so at the time, I just asked: Is there any new dream?Bai Lai's expression and tone were extremely excited, and he asked me back: Do you know who those people who were driven away were?I shook my head, and Bai Lai almost screamed out: They are our ancestors, and we are their descendants!Then, he grabbed me and shook me hard: Xinni, I want to go back, I want to go back, please help me!It was very strange, at that time I suddenly had a strong feeling and said: Why don't we go back together?Bai Lai said: No, only one can go.I said three times in a row that I would go first, but it was useless. I couldn't compete with Bai Lai, so I had to let him. I frowned, and Bailey said that we are the descendants of those people, and we, of course, are not only referring to him and Sinney.Because those people, according to what Xinni saw in his dream, there are at least tens of thousands of people, how could there be only two descendants, but what do we mean by this? I was thinking about it, and Xinni said again: "Bo Lai had already prepared, he took out a knife and pointed at his heart: You have studied anatomy, stab me here, the deeper the better." .Mr. Wei, my reaction was the same as yours at that time, I cried out: You told me to kill you?But Bai Lai laughed loudly: "Sinney silly boy, why don't you understand, I won't die, I already know how to go back, after I go back, I won't die, you forgot what we heard in the dream, regeneration!Life continues, death has long been overcome!I held the sharp knife that Bai Lai forced into my hand, but I still hesitated to make a move. I was extremely confused: Then you finally did it! Sinney said: Yes, I finally made my move.At that time, Bai Lai looked anxious and excited: You stabbed me so that I could get out of my body as soon as possible.The body is useless, it's just like a house!One cannot move into a new house until one has moved out of an old house, do you understand?Alas, you don't understand, I already understand!Hurry up, boy, hurry up, no matter how late, this thing might lose its effect.As he spoke, he pointed vigorously at the thing that Bain sold us.Because his expression is so urgent, and his words are so earnest I didn't wait for Xinni to finish speaking, and said: This is no reason, if he wants to abandon his body, he can commit suicide. Sinney said: Yes, I also asked him the same question, and Bailey's answer was: Of course I can commit suicide, but if someone helps me to get rid of the things I don't want in the fastest way, why bother? slow way?Sinney, I promise you, I'll be back to tell you all about it, and I'll be back with you, it's so much fun that we never thought about the use of human hair, lol!He smiled while urging me to start, so I just I said: You finally stabbed him in the heart! Xinni looked at the light and murmured: Yes, I buried that thing under his body as he ordered. After that, I have been waiting for him to come back, but he didn't come back, I and I When he said this, he looked at me with a very sad look: Until now, I don't even know what the use of human hair is. At this time, I couldn't see my expression, but I believed that my expression must be full of sadness.Because Sinney's question is so childish.This can prove that his mental state is very abnormal, and everything he said may be all nonsense! I said angrily: What's the use of hair?Hair is used to protect the head, elementary school students know it! Xinni suddenly laughed: elementary school students can be satisfied with such an answer.However, I believe that in terms of your level of knowledge, you will not be satisfied with such an answer. Do you know how thick a human skull is? I still said angrily: It's nearly an inch, and it's extremely hard and strong! Xinni said: Yes, the human mind is concentrated in the brain, which is an extremely important part of the human body. The responsibility for protecting the brain is taken by the thick and hard skull.It was not until the eighteenth century that humans found a way to chisel out skulls.With such a solid protector, why do you need such soft hair?Haven't you thought about this? I can't answer that one question for Sinney.Indeed, I never thought of this problem before. Hair is used to protect the head. This is an impression that has been deeply rooted since my education.But the fact is that hair has no use other than protecting the head. It doesn't matter whether a person has hair or not. During my silence, Zinny asked again: Don't you also notice that the length of the hair doesn't quite match its supposed duty of protecting the head?Human hair, from birth to adulthood, can be as long as eighty centimeters.Almost equal to two-thirds of a person's body height!Let it be draped down, not only can protect the head, but also protect the back and buttocks, haha! I was a little annoyed by Xinni's laughter, and asked loudly: Then what's the use of your hair! Xinni shook his head and said: "I don't know now. Bai Lai must know, but he hasn't come back to tell me yet."Mr. Wei, in my dream, I heard the conversation of the person in the dream, and mentioned the function of hair and hair more than once.They must be useful.I am a medical student, and I know very well that the structure of the human body is so delicate that useless things cannot be allowed to exist, but hair, such long hair, is useless at all, so I had to forcefully assign it a purpose: to protect the head. I didn't say anything more, what Xinni said made sense.What is the use of hair?Why do people grow so many and such long hairs on their heads?When it comes to the concept of hair, most people don't easily think that the hair is nearly one meter long. That's because people keep cutting it short.If hair is allowed to grow, unless it is due to a disease, human hair can grow to nearly one meter! When I thought of this, I found that my thoughts were also messed up by Zinny, I shook my head vigorously, and decided not to think about this boring question.At this moment, Xinni leaned over full of mystery: You must have never noticed another weird phenomenon! Hearing the strange phenomenon, I was refreshed, thinking that he had something amazing to say!Who knew what he said was still about hair!He said: How many kinds of creatures are there on earth?There are hundreds of thousands of species, millions of species, but only humans have hair, and only humans have hair on their heads that can reach two-thirds of their body height!And the organization of this kind of hair is so wonderful, each hair is hollow in the middle, with extremely fine organization!It must have had an extremely important function, but the function was stopped! I had no choice but to keep blinking, but Xinni talked more and more vigorously: Although Bai Lai did not come back to tell me all the details, but I can also predict one thing, Mr. Wei, the satellite of the 17th-magnitude luminous star is the earth!I was shocked for a moment, and even I couldn't tell why, but I naturally followed his tone and said: The place you saw in your dream Sinney's expression was more strange and mysterious, and his voice was lowered a lot: that's the place every one of us wants to go back to.I don't know what the original name of that place was, but on earth, despite the differences in human languages, there is one common name for that place: Heaven! My breathing became involuntary and quickened, and Xinni leaned back: Moreover, for many years, people on earth have always wanted to go to heaven, and they have exhausted all methods. Some people even want to build a tower and climb along this tower. to heaven! As soon as I heard Zinny talk about someone even wanting to build a tower and climb up to heaven along the tower, my heart suddenly dawned! I suddenly understood why when listening to Sinney's narration, there would be a familiar feeling.That's a religious story! When I think about it, I can't help but laugh.More terms came to my mind: sin, salvation, only son, and so on. Immediately I felt relieved, and was absolutely sure that Zinny was insane.Hippies often have relationships with religion and like to meditate. He must be a religious fanatic, and there are many confusing concepts in his mind, which is why he has such strange dreams and lives in chaotic fantasies. After quite a while, I find it strange that such a hasty decision was made at that time.Because at least the antiquity that Bain sold, I can't explain what it is.But at the time I decided to do so, of course, for a reason.What I said to Xinni made my head dizzy, and I finally found an explainable reason, so of course I would not give up.Just like a person floating in the sea suddenly sees a ship approaching, the first reaction must be to climb on the ship, who will study which country the ship belongs to! At that time, I was thinking along this road, and naturally I didn't take what Xinni said to me to heart. I had a plan in my heart, and I patted him on the shoulder: We should go to bed too! Zinny blinked, as if he still wanted to discuss everything he said with me, but I stretched and yawned. Sinney looked very disappointed: What a pity, that thing fell and broke!Otherwise you will definitely have the same dream!Since you are so curious about everything, you must be able to find some reason!I perfunctorily pretended to be extremely sleepy and fell asleep.Zinny was lying down.But after he lay down, he seemed to be muttering to himself: I wonder if Bain still has such a thing?I wanted to buy another one from him, but what was he afraid of? I tried my best not to laugh, why should Bain be afraid?The reason is very simple, Bayin found an unknown object from nowhere, put it in an old iron box, and lied to Western tourists that it was a real antique.When a liar suddenly meets a deceived person, how can he not be afraid? Zinny muttered to himself for a long time again, but I didn't pay attention to what he was saying, and I didn't fall asleep. I just tried to rest as much as possible while maintaining a state of extreme alertness, because I was afraid that he would escape. After dawn, Xinni woke up, and I left the Nepalese house together with him, and lied to him: Let's go and find Bain again to see if he still has such ancient relics! Sinney looked very happy and followed me every step of the way.I took him around a few times first, and then told him to wait in the lobby of a hotel. I found the hotel staff, asked him for the phone book, and found the phone number of a mental hospital. I decided last night that instead of sending Sinney to the local police, it would be better to send him to a mental institution.Sinney was sober sometimes, he would tell his family's address, and the hospital contacted his family to take him back. I called the psychiatric hospital and told them there was a patient like this and I would send him in for testing.The hospital hesitated for a long time. A call was heard by at least ten people before it was transferred to a doctor in charge.I just gave the doctor my general conclusions.I didn't tell the story of Zinny stabbing another man in the heart, but I told the doctor that Zinny could be a very dangerous man when his fantasies were too rich. The doctor finally accepted my request, I put down the phone, found a place with Shinni, had a full meal, and then walked towards the mental hospital with him. Poor Sinney, even at the door of the hospital, was completely unaware of my plot.
