Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Subjective Reality and Objective Reality
“Humanity … the Cradle Project? From the future …” thought Chen Ke, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts.
“Yes, Human Cradle Planning Foundation, also known as the H.C.P Foundation,” said Xu Jing.
“H…” Chen Ke
So that’s what H.C.P stands for? Are Brother Discouraged in the Great Void and that iron canister people from the Foundation?
Chen Ke almost believed it, but then he thought that he had also seen H.C.P’s stuff and people in the Great Void, and that alone couldn’t prove that Xu Jing herself was from the Foundation.
“How do I know you’re telling the truth? The Administration Bureau and the Research Institute have both explored the Great Void; you could just be one of their people,” said Chen Ke.
“Chen Ke, think about it. How do you think you left the Research Institute? Wasn’t it a bit too smooth?” Xu Jing said with a smile.
Chen Ke didn’t respond. Indeed, just as Xu Jing had said, he had driven a bus from the Research Institute, and several tis he was only a hundred ters away from the P.W.A.T and Administration Bureau vehicles without anyone stopping him.
“Doesn’t this just prove that you’re from the Administration Bureau?” Chen Ke was still skeptical.
“If the Administration Bureau really wanted to catch you, they wouldn’t just send soone to stand here and talk to you nicely. Why not use your ‘blue eyes’ to see what’s going on around us?” suggested Xu Jing.
Chen Ke was shocked; Xu Jing knew he had Spiritual Vision Skill …
He activated his Spiritual Vision, his pupils turning blue, revealing the outlines of all the human forms within a hundred ters.
Surrounding the six-story apartnt building, squads of P.W.A.T were hidden in the shadows, leaning against walls, and so were preparing to rappel from the rooftops. Counting them, there were actually as many as a hundred people.
On the rooftops, more than ten Spiritual Ability Users were crouched on the edges, ready to jump in at any mont.
This scene suddenly reminded Chen Ke of sothing.
It was back in middle school, when a classmate had been bullied by so hooligans outside, and the class leader took about twenty boys to jump over the school walls to fight the gang.
“Class leader! What do we do?!” soone had asked at the ti.
“Death before dishonor! Let’s fight them!”
Led by the class leader’s loud voice, the twenty-so boys ended up being pushed to the ground by the hooligans, all of them coming away with bruises.
“Chen Ke… Chen Ke…”
At that ti, Chen Ke was lying on the ground with his head split open by a brick, seeing stars, while the class leader kept calling his na, issuing a pained cry.
“Chen Ke… Chen Ke… Chen Ke…”
“Chen Ke. Chen Ke?”
Chen Ke suddenly snapped back to reality and looked at Xu Jing.
“We can only stand here and talk because I told them you’re useful to ,” said Xu Jing.
“I’m not your tool,” Chen Ke said.
“Don’t be too upset, Chen Ke. Think of it as a partnership,” said Xu Jing.
“I don’t have what you want, and you don’t have what I want,” Chen Ke said.
“I can answer all the questions you want to know about ti … and I don’t think you’ll find anyone else in this era who can give you answers … Besides, I think I should pull out so real skills to prove myself …” Xu Jing said, stretching out her hands, which emitted a purple light.
Chen Ke stepped back, on guard.
“I thought you’d be used to it after seeing it once,” Xu Jing said with a smile.
She then made a motion as if holding a gun with her right hand, slowly drawing an automatic rifle from her left palm …
“This … I …” Chen Ke truly believed then.
Xu Jing’s actions, and the gun she drew, were exactly like Iron Can from Fan Hede, and it also looked familiar.
Wasn’t that precisely the gun Chen Ke had taken from Fan Hede and picked up from Iron Can?
Chen Ke then realized that the gun wasn’t in his bedroom. It seed the Administration Bureau might have searched the place after he left …
“I know you entered Fan Hede, and that you went to the world of 2006, and successfully returned … And, you know what … the reason I ca to find you is because of your heart …” Xu Jing pointed at Chen Ke’s chest.
“There’s nothing in my heart for you, Xu Jing,” Chen Ke spread his hands and said with a smile.
“But there is this, HCP0001,” Xu Jing said, retracting the automatic rifle.
“What …? 0001 …?” Chen Ke was puzzled.
“Containnt Item No. 1, the root of the Foundation’s existence. In our era, it’s long lost, only a docunt remains, but I only found out today that it was taken by you …” Xu Jing said.
Chen Ke looked at her, not saying a word.
“You used it to kill Corrigan. I don’t want to question how you did it right now. Because that item is one of the gods, and gods are always picky,” Xu Jing said.
“Are you saying it’s a god’s weapon?” Chen Ke asked.
“What I’m saying is, it is a god. Does it whisper to you?” Xu Jing said with a smile.
“I …” Chen Ke pursed his lips. This woman knew about Fan Hede, knew about gods, and knew about the thing in his chest. Chen Ke had no reason not to believe Xu Jing now.
“Let’s get back to the original question, Chen Ke. You’ve traveled through ti, seen the destruction of the world, and witnessed history that doesn’t exist. Now, I ask you, what do you think ti is?” Xu Jing asked.
“Ti … ti is like a chaotic current at the bottom of the ocean … I’ve seen the destructive past, but the present I live in is still intact … Tell , what exactly was the deal with that year 2006?!” Chen Ke looked at Xu Jing, seriously asking.
“Hahaha … Ti is not a chaotic current at the ocean floor, but a labyrinth of the universe,” Xu Jing said.
“A labyrinth …” Chen Ke murmured to himself.
“There’s no such thing as ti in the universe, only the process of the ergence and annihilation of matter. So processes are long, so are short, and humans have nad their experience of this process as ‘ti,'” Xu Jing said.
“But that doesn’t make sense, if what you say is true, the world now would have long been annihilated from your perspective … How can you stand here then?” Chen Ke asked.
“You’re trying to understand the universe from a human perspective, and you’ll never see through the workings of the universe. You must step out, out of the human concept of ti,” Xu Jing said.
“Stop being cryptic. If ti doesn’t exist, neither does the past or the future, so how did you get from your now to my now?”
“That’s because your era, to us, is a subjective reality,” Xu Jing introduced a new term.
“Subjective … reality?” Chen Ke was confused.
“The matter existing in the universe is all in objective reality, which is the era I co from. But the matter that once existed and has now been annihilated is recorded in subjective reality, which is the era you are currently in,” Xu Jing said with a smile.
“So you an … you’re saying … I’ve been dead for a long ti to you?” Chen Ke said.
“That’s right. Hello, history,” Xu Jing nodded.
