Chapter 342

~8 min read 1,454 words

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was born after 2000 and hasn't had his 18th birthday yet.

Young men and women of this age have a bit of melancholy and confusion about being forced to talk about sorrow, and they happened to encounter the postmodern trend of thought where everything can be deconstructed. This is a very dangerous thing.

Countries, society, interpersonal relationships, and even ideologies, postmodern young people want to deconstruct everything they see, vowing to turn everything high and above into plain language and step into the ground. It looks clear in the world, but it is actually nihilism.

Deconstruction is easy, but construction is very difficult. Blindly deconstructing everything without corresponding updated construction, dismantling but not building for a long time, is easy to cause loss of subjectivity and existential crisis. This is a very dangerous self-destructive tendency.

This kind of thing is actually nothing for ordinary people. Young people at most go online to post a few affectionate copywriters on their Moments to talk about depression. After graduation, the pressure of life and the beatings of society will naturally make the unemployed students who don't eat the fireworks of the world learn to compromise with reality. In time, they will be ashamed to face their own middle-school past.

But Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe is different. The law that material basis determines the superstructure does not apply to Tai Yi. For ordinary people, existence determines consciousness, while for Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, consciousness determines existence. I think, therefore I am. If I don't think, I don't exist.

The young man's groaning without illness turned into a dangerous existential crisis when placed on him. Once subjectivity is lost, Tai Yi will take his life.

So consciousness, self, memory, subjectivity... these ethereal things are actually not suitable for being serious. Once people are serious about these things, they are easy to get obsessed.

Fortunately, Jue Yuan does not allow him to be obsessed.

Jue Yuan's eyes only lit up for a short moment, and the dangerous suspicious emotion only appeared in Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's heart for a moment before being forcibly erased. Opening his eyes, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe could feel that Jue Yuan's chain was still binding him.

His thoughts had long been enslaved by ghosts, and Jue Yuan did not allow him to have even a trace of doubt about his identity. This is the absoluteness of the rules.

The rules are 'absolute'.

Opening his eyes, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe saw Miss Mei Lin across the table casting a surprised look at this side, while Fen Wu on the side just used his index finger to support his skull cap and showed him a gentle smile.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe looked down at his chest and hands, and suddenly felt a little scared.

"That was close."

——He actually started deconstructing himself just now.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe had every reason to suspect that this was deliberately facilitated by Fen Wu. Three months is not long or short. It is not difficult to guess that there may be some connection between Jue Yuan's thought seal and the Tai Sui that modified memory, but he just didn't remember it.

He didn't remember it early, he didn't remember it late, but it happened now, and it happened in front of Fen Wu that he began to doubt the existence of his identity.

What the hell does Fen Wu want to do?

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe now even suspects that the Lan Shiwen that Xia Yubing met was actually disguised by Fen Wu. He took the initiative to expose the existence of the Tai Sui worm just to hook out the current situation, let himself think wildly, muddy the water, make him start to doubt his memory, not know what to believe and what not to believe, and finally become a headless fly that poses no threat to Fen Wu.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe also suspects that Miss Mei Lin and Betang have also been brainwashed by Fen Wu, and they are actors found by Fen Wu. The Gambler and the God of Wealth have also been controlled by Fen Wu, and everyone and ghosts in the entire opera house are acting themselves.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe also suspects that among the 10 billion people on the entire earth, more than 9.999999998 billion are puppets whose memories have been modified by Fen Wu. Looking at the world, only he and Fen Wu have self-thinking.

The one who was tossing and turning with him last night was not Xia Yubing, but Fen Wu who took over Xia Yubing's brain...

It is true that it is a bit far-fetched to put such a hat on people, Fen Wu should not be that awesome, but Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe is really PTSD. Now someone comes to tell him that Fen Wu leaked the earth's coordinates to the Three-Body people! Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe may not necessarily not believe it.

"If that day really comes, I will be the first to shout, 'Please, right this way, Three-Body lords'..." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was thinking wildly, but heard Miss Mei Lin suddenly say: "Let me do it."

"Okay." Betang nodded and directly designated her to flip the coin next.

Miss Mei Lin didn't say much, picked up a copper coin and threw it into the glass. Golden liquid splashed on the table, and the Gambler raised its head.

"This is my wager." Miss Mei Lin took a fist-sized metal object from her bag and placed it on the table. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe took a look, it was a candlestick, brass texture, filled with waxy yellow lamp oil, emitting a faint corpse odor.

"Corpse oil?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was a little surprised. This thing seemed to be the corpse oil lamp in Vanessa Fortress.

The Gambler nodded and acknowledged this candlestick as a wager. Miss Mei Lin breathed a sigh of relief and took a mirror from her bosom.

It was a bronze mirror the size of a human face, also a brass product. The back of the mirror was carved with a phoenix pattern entwined with each other's necks, obviously a thing from Kyushu.

"Give it." Betang also took an identical bronze mirror from his bosom and handed it to Miss Mei Lin.

Miss Mei Lin nodded, got up and left.

According to the principle of fairness, before the gambling game is completely over and the last winner is determined, even if the wager is handed over, the loser who is 'free' in principle can only temporarily leave the gambling table and cannot leave the independent space where the casino is located.

Therefore, Miss Mei Lin, who got the two bronze mirrors, did not walk towards the door, but went straight to the viewing stand where Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe and Fen Wu chatted before, lifted the curtain and walked out.

"No." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe reacted quickly and got up to chase after her.

Lifting the curtain, the outside of the viewing stand was empty. Miss Mei Lin had just gone out, and Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe chased after her. With just this one or two-second time difference, she disappeared. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe leaned against the railing and looked down. It was impossible to jump directly into the auditorium, right?

"Related to those two mirrors?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe frowned slightly: "But why two?"

Not thinking too much about this question, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe lifted the curtain and returned to the room. He didn't know Miss Mei Lin's way of leaving, but he knew her purpose of leaving, probably to find her Young Lady.

In the room, two people and one ghost were still sitting on the sofa next to the gambling table.

Fen Wu gently wiped the blood constantly seeping from his forehead with a napkin, observing the Gambler sitting there motionless with great interest.

"According to the rules, the previous player who dropped the copper coin should designate who will continue to flip the copper coin next." Fen Wu suddenly said: "But that lady left in a hurry, and she disappeared directly without designating the next player."

And it was not just a simple disappearance, but a direct departure from this 'world'.

Speaking of this, Fen Wu shook his head: "What a willful lady. This gambling game is not over yet. What do you think we should do with her?"

Looking at the Gambler who was still sitting in place motionless, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe suddenly smiled.

"Before the gambling game is completely over, no player is allowed to leave the casino. This is the Gambler's rule, and it must also abide by it itself, because it is also a player."
