: Released

Ivan is back again. Wu Tong originally thought that this guy must have completely fallen into the land of gentleness after getting married, but he was back again less than a month after the newlyweds.

He is still the same as before, and he looks like the most thorough nerd. The books he read are still the same. If Wu Tong had known Yifan for the first time, he would have thought that this guy was pretending to be B and see what books he read. He could understand a little bit about advanced mathematics, topology, high-energy physics, etc. before, and thought he was trying to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, but now he reads all the things... Well, Wu Tong can't describe this feeling. He has basically admitted that he and Yifan should belong to two completely different species.

"Sophie's World", "History of Western Philosophy", "The World of Consciousness and Representation", "Theory of Logical Philosophy", "Saying Zarathustra" "Existence and Time"...

Is he trying to take the graduate program in philosophy? But what can I do when I learn this thing? What's more, Ivan shouldn't be short of money. He won't be real, he really likes to learn these things, right?

When Wu Tong thought of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yifan, who was reading while taking notes. For some reason, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. This feeling was like when he was in high school, he and his deskmate were secretly reading miscellaneous books in self-study class, but found that everyone else was studying very seriously. He tried to pick up Yifan's book and turned a few pages. He saw all the translation sentences with knots. He felt very tired when he read it. The hypnosis effect was stronger than English reading comprehension.

Are you too bored? Wu Tong thought, why don’t you find a junior to talk about life and ideals together?

Just as Wu Tong was thinking this way, the front door of the classroom was suddenly opened, and a girl generously said to the teacher who was writing on the blackboard, "I'm looking for someone." Then she walked straight into the classroom. The boys in the front row suddenly became agitated. Wu Tong looked into the distance, but happened to see the girl's eyes looking at him. If it weren't for his hallucination, she seemed to smile at him?

The girl walked briskly along the aisle between the desk. When she arrived next to Wu Tong, she lowered her head and smiled and said, "Why don't you come to me when you come? Where is Sister Tingting? Didn't he be with you?"

When Wu Tong heard the first half of the sentence, he felt quite happy and surprised. However, as soon as the second half was said, the soap bubble he fantasized about was ruthlessly pierced. He turned his head and stared at Ivan hard, this beast!

Ivan didn't look up, but just lowered his head and whispered, "Why are you here? Don't you need to go to class?"

"If you don't like some classes, you won't go to it," Liu Yan said indifferently after sitting down. At the same time, she also took a bunch of books in front of Ivan, turned over a few pages, and then put them down. "It's Ma Zhe. Judging from your hard work, you should give it to you."

Wu Tong originally planned to leave if he didn't name the name in the class, but because of Liu Yan, he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with class. It seemed that this girl just knew Ivan and knew that he was married, which meant that he still had a chance!

During the break, taking advantage of Liu Yan's trip, Wu Tong pretended to be careless and asked casually: "Who was that girl just now? Which school is from?"

"A friend," said Yifan. When Wu Tong was about to continue asking, he saw that Liu Yan had already walked back, so he quickly shut up.

"Hey," Liu Yan tapped Yifan's back, hung a shiny gadget in front of him and wandered back and forth, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Yifan glanced, nodded, and asked again: "Where did you get it?"

"It was bought on Taobao a few days ago," Liu Yan said, looking at the pattern inside the communicator, "It costs five yuan each, and free shipping. I ordered a few to play with it. I think the patterns here are so familiar... I remember it. It seems that the ones you drew at the foundation before are similar to those inside. By the way, tell me what these patterns mean?"

Ivan asked back: "Have you used it?"

"What to use?" Liu Yan said strangely, "Isn't it just a decoration? Is it really a good idea to people's hearts as mentioned on the website?" Speaking of this, Liu Yan seemed to remember something again and asked with a smile, "You can't open that store, right? Such a vulgar promotional vocabulary."

Li Litian seems to have mentioned that online sales is also a very important part. In this sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that this store is its own.

The ones that Liu Yan held were all pendants for necklaces, and she should buy them purely for decoration.

Yifan reached out and took the communicator in Liu Yan's hand. He gently brushed his fingers across the mirror. When Liu Yan and Wu Tong were surprised to see that the pattern inside the communicator actually emitted a bright blue light.

...

On the same day, New York, USA.

Billy is a reporter of the New York Times. His job is to discover topics that can attract attention in life. Recently, he was a little depressed. The editor-in-chief's articles were mercilessly killed by the editor-in-chief. Until now, Billy can still recall the editor-in-chief's thin face roaring at him and meeting the saliva on his face: "This is the New York Times! Every news from here must be fresh, real, and noticeable enough. What readers need to see is a wonderful and constantly changing world, and this kind of thing happens every day in the world. My only requirement for you is to find out these things..."

Well, the wonderful world, the changing world... or this set of words that can almost make your ears hear calluses, just as the priest in the church always said that God will bless you. When he went out with his camera on his back, Billy couldn't help but mutter that he had just received the news that someone was marching on Fifth Avenue. Well, maybe it was an animal protection organization, or a protest against a government policy... No matter what that was, in short, this should be a news, slogans, slogans, organizers, photos, and which side should the wording be biased towards... On the way to go, Billy, who was driving, was habitually trying to do the work he needed immediately.

Fortunately, the cars on the road were not very congested today, and the worst thing did not happen - often when he arrived at the scene, the main body of the news had long disappeared.

The parade took place at the door of St. Patrick's Church, but it seemed different from what Billy imagined at the beginning. The parades did not seem to have any major emotional fluctuations, nor did they hear collective slogans, but saw these people holding the wooden signs in their hands with a solemn expression, closing their eyes silently, and not moving, as if they were just a group of lifelike wax figures.

"God appears again!" Billy could see such a slogan in the hands of a gray-haired old man in the head. This content is not new in the United States. Billy guessed that this might be a group of religious people, but for a moment, he could not see what these people were for. However, there was a very interesting detail that everyone present had a watch-like thing on the wrists, flashing with blue light.

No, not only this old man, but all the marchers on the scene had such a glass ornament on their wrists, which seemed to be the unified "sign" of all the marchers. In addition to the ones wearing them on their wrists, many people also held a handful of similar glass products in their hands.

"Consciousness Net! Soul Party."

“This is God’s gift.”

"A world without consciousness network is an incomplete world..."

They held the wooden rafts, and most of them wrote similar words. If everyone present had not had a serious expression on their faces, Billy almost thought this must have been a promotional method created by a certain website.

It is a little different from other parades. These people did not use slogans and flyers to promote these contents, and they did not see the organizers with the talent of speech at the scene. The way they adopted was somewhat similar to a kind of "cold" propaganda. Of course, this concept was invented by Billy himself compared to the "hot" propaganda we usually come into contact with. They stood on the street like sculptures, and looked at the crowds coming and going on the street with the "kind" look like an elder looking at the children. In fact, it is not right to say that kindness is not right. This seems to be a sense of superiority that is almost sympathetic. Billy knows the source of this sense of superiority, and his mother is religious. In the eyes of regular religious believers, all other non-confucians deserve sympathy. To put it in the words of the ***, those who have not yet felt the existence of the Lord belong to the "lost Lamb."

But it is undeniable that this "cold" propaganda method looks much better than usual flyers and speeches. The expressions on each of their faces are so sincere and pure, and it looks very natural. There is no deliberate exaggeration and hypocrisy like some "performance artists". As a highly educated journalist, although Billy knows that they are largely in a religious sensory illusion, it is undeniable that when he sees the faces of these people, he can feel their "happiness" and happiness. There is no doubt that in this society where the world is busier and busier, but increasingly empty, this expression is a great temptation for everyone. Billy imagines that even if he is not at work, he will definitely come forward to hope to understand these people.

Some pedestrians walked up as curious as Billy. Billy noticed a black girl in her twenties who smiled and said something to the old man holding a sign. Then he saw the old man take out a cardboard box packaging from a large plastic bag, unpack it, and take out a watch that was exactly the same as their wrists. After putting on the girl's wrist, the transparent watch emitted a blue flashing light exactly the same as everyone's wrists. The girl seemed to be hypnotized, and the young smile on her face suddenly became as solemn and solemn as everyone's wrists.

Billy suddenly had a premonition in his heart: this may be the biggest news he is about to come into contact with.

"Please forgive me, can anyone tell me what the purpose of your event is?" Billy stepped forward and spoke to the old man. The latter looked at him, took out a blue box that was exactly the same as before from the plastic bag, and handed it to his hand, and slowly spoke, "A miracle is happening, and the whole human race is facing a huge change. This is the glory of the Lord, this is our hope. If you put it on, you will feel all this."

...

The development of consciousness network in the United States completely exceeded Li Litian's expectations. Americans are more open and direct than he imagined. In the ***, the consciousness network that can only be circulated in small circles almost caused a tide as soon as it was discovered in the United States. Almost all newspapers, televisions, websites, and today's headlines are a blue glowing watch worn on the wrist, with a thick large font on the side: "God's miracle, consciousness network!"

Consciousness Network, these three words that many people have never touched, have become the focus of attention of the whole world overnight, and its impact is no less than the shock and changes caused by the mobile phone just appeared in human society. Just overnight, everyone suddenly knew that there was a small watch-like thing that could connect everyone's spiritual world, just like humans first knew that language could communicate with each other through electrical signals through the speed of light.

Of course, when you see this news, people with a little scientific knowledge may sneer at it, believing that it is just a concept that has been hyped up by falsely hyped, and it is likely that it is just a small group that claims to have this function. In order to attract attention, journalists are just spreading rumors. This type of news is not common on earth. In this world of entertainment, attracting attention is the first priority. Readers often only care about the freshness and bizarreness of events, but actually have very low requirements for truth and rationality. Isn’t there such a sentence? Newspapers are more and more like serialized novels, and novels are written more and more like real reports.

But whether it is true or false, now this news is the headline of Google search on that day, which is enough. This is an era of eye-catching economy, and attracting people's attention is the first priority. Everything else, beauty, ugliness, truth and falsehood are not a problem. In short, the current waves caused by this news are spreading rapidly to every corner of civilization on this small planet with the informatization network.

Most people don’t believe it very much when they see this news at first sight, or they absolutely do not believe it, but this does not prevent them from continuing to discuss this issue. It is like people actually don’t believe from the bottom of their hearts that 2012 is the real end of the day. What people care about is just some emotional resonance caused by this topic, which is the most important thing in the news.

Of course, as a news that can be spread so widely, there is still a little "reasonableness" on the surface, just like the end of the world in 2012, from various Mayan prophecies to the vicious circle of the wheat field, in short, people who write news must have this foundation - integrating some seemingly unconnected materials into a perfect article, so that people must have the effect at first glance: It makes sense, Billy's professional skills still seem to have. In his news, he used the first person "personal experience" to describe this to everyone.

Such a paradise scene - In this network called the consciousness network, each person is like a part of a giant's body, like every neuron cell that makes up the brain, countless information rushes in it, and all the emotions, reason, morality, and even dream fantasies that humans have can be found in this network. Here, there will never be a person's emptiness and boredom, because he always faces a world that is more real than reality. From an idealistic perspective, the consciousness world is indeed more real than the real world.

In the news, there are many narrations and statements from new members of the consciousness network. In these statements, the parties mentioned that they have the feeling of "seeing heaven". The original wandering and unsteady sense of belonging to the faith is easy to experience here. However, in the news, Billy still does not agree with the saying "heaven". He believes that the reason is that this is just because most of the people who are currently joining are believers or tend to be believers. The emotions they experience come from each other, and of course they will resonate. However, at the end of the article, Billy mentioned with emotion that when he saw the consciousness network, he couldn't help but start to believe whether God really exists.

This news was indeed hyped as a gimmick at the beginning. Many people originally believed that this soap bubble would not even be poked, and it would naturally break, but the direction of facts gradually began to deviate from most people's expectations. Within just a few hours of the news, tens of thousands of people claiming to be users of the consciousness network were instantly released on FACEBOOK in the United States. Their messages on the website quickly increased by one million in just a few hours, and most of them posted their own photos and contact information in the messages to show their serious attitude. Among these messages, more than 90% of people talked about it: they believed that the consciousness network is indeed a wonderful world, and they did this just to allow more people to join and integrate into them.

...

Less than three hours after the news was released, all supermarkets and shops, the Conscious Network communicator were sold out at the first time. 500,000 stocks were in front of the long queues of all supermarkets in New York. They were like water droplets under a welding gun. Before they could see the shape clearly, they had already evaporated and disappeared. The sign of the Conscious Network communicator out of stock was hung at the door of each supermarket. Many people who didn't quite understand the incident, looking at the long queues outside the supermarket, asked in surprise: "Which bank has gone bankrupt?"

On the day the news was logged out, the number of users of the consciousness network slowly increased from less than 10,000 to more than 400,000 like crazy. If it weren't for the limitation of proficiency, Li Litian believed that this number could be expanded ten times, no, one hundred times, or even a thousand times! Li Litian knew deeply how huge the influence of news on people. Not to mention this kind of real material that can be verified and can stand the test, even if it is completely nonsense, there is a large market among ordinary people.

A large number of users who flocked in and were excited to make the originally calm consciousness network completely turn into a boiling ocean of consciousness. Everyone in it can vaguely experience this change. Of course, the one who is most sensitive to this change is probably Lin Quan.

Excited, excited, and inexplicably excited. Just like seeing the life of Africans before, Lin Quan deeply felt the impact of consciousness network on everyone. This emotion is not very strange. It is a strong sense of belonging that integrates into the collective, just like the first military training in high school. When each square formation is finally on the marching parade, when looking up and seeing the national flag, this feeling is particularly strong. Yes, this is the power of the collective, a simple sensory experience that can be used to move one part and think one part. Yes, for Lin Quan now, this is just a sensory experience. He does not reject it, and of course, he will not let this feeling completely override and dominate everything he has.

Lin Quan still has this confidence.

However, this may only be aimed at him personally, and for other users of the Consciousness Network, this feeling may not be explained by experience alone.

The content of Lin Quan's work is undergoing subtle changes. The life scenes of Africans who had just had an impact a few days ago have long become a small part of the consciousness network under the dilution of this trend. The problems that Li Litian was worried about have proved to be completely unnecessary. At best, these things are just temporary senses. Just like when a person goes to a slaughterhouse to see the animals killed, he may feel a little reluctant at the time, but when he returns to the dining table, he still eats meat. According to Lin Quan's personal understanding, the consciousness network is just magnifying this kind of personal thought details, which may last longer, but in essence, it has not changed.

The emergence of these consciousnesses made the originally "rich and colorful" consciousness network suddenly become monotonous. In the past, everyone shared their lives on this Internet, but now, it seems that they are influenced by these believers and gradually began to "self-discipline". Many more secular scenes that were seen everywhere in the past seem to appear much less frequently. This "self-discipline" is not entirely a good thing in Lin Quan's opinion.

Among these newly influxed messages, the most common scenes are the cross, God, heaven, the most devout faith, and the heartfelt worship. Among the newly added users, more than 80% are the original *** or Catholics. The consciousness network seems to have been understood by them as a masterpiece of God, a tool used to communicate between God and believers, or believers.

In communicating with these "new users", Lin Quan also found many fanatical people of faith, who said they were willing to dedicate all their own to God, that is, they shared 100% with the consciousness network. To be honest, Lin Quan had no good feelings for these people and took a step back ten thousand steps, even if God really exists, was he so hard to create a person to let it return to himself?

Lin Quan rejected their suggestions. Ivan told him that about the sharing ratio, the only sentence that impressed him at that time: "I prefer mountains to the ocean, because the ocean will never have its own shape! A drop of water wants to reach the top of the mountain by evaporating itself, but even after it arrives, is it still the original drop of water?"
