This story depicted the meta-universe that represented the ultimate dream of mankind. In addition to virtual reality, it could allow one to re-understand the universe, time and space, and re-view birth, aging, illness, and death. I hope you can also encounter the beauty we once imagined here!
What would you think if one day, your phone knew what you were thinking through the screen? My story starts from this…
Today is April 22, 20XX. After graduating from university, I was idle in my hometown in the countryside. As usual, I swiped my phone and browsed an inconspicuous forum full of boring posts.
Just as I was about to close it, I suddenly saw a post that caught my attention. The title was: If you also believe that this world or another world is beyond imagination, you are welcome to join us!
This title was too attractive. I clicked on the confirmation button and entered the next interface.
This is a welcome interface. It says, Welcome, netizen number 3031. In order to make you more convinced of us, please recite a number or a set of numbers in your heart and then close your eyes. In five seconds, we will display the number you want on your phone screen.
I've played a similar game on TikTok before. I'll let you calculate one plus one, two plus two, and so on, and then calculate the number you want to think of next is seven. The reason why the game was able to predict the future was because he had given a lot of hints. But this time, he said that he could predict a number or a set of numbers without giving any hints at all. This was too ridiculous. My first reaction was that these people were playing with me!
Anyway, I was bored. I wanted to see how they convinced me. I silently recited the last four digits of my first phone number in my life, 2762.
I followed their instructions and closed my eyes. After counting to five, I opened my eyes and looked at the screen. When I saw the number on the screen, I stood up from my chair because the number on the screen was 2762.
I couldn't stay calm anymore. I even forgot that I was holding my phone. I asked directly, how is this possible? Can I try again?
The phone seemed to have heard my words. It said,"Of course, you can try again now!"
My heart rate must have already exceeded 120. I suppressed my excitement and panic as I recited another set of numbers. This set of numbers is 771382.
Five seconds later, when I looked at the screen again, I was completely stunned. The screen showed 771382.
At the bottom of the screen, there was a line of small words. If you are interested in us and want to join us, please click OK to participate in our test.
My hands trembled as I clicked on the confirmation button.
This time, there was a line of small words at the top of the phone screen. Please carefully look at the picture below. If your consciousness frequency can be accepted by us, you will find three different people in the picture below. Please write down your answer in three minutes. The countdown begins now. 3:00, 2:59, 2:58、、
I started to take it seriously. It was the scene near the river pier in the Qingming Festival painting. The picture was very long. I had to swipe back and forth to see the whole picture. There was a small number above everyone's head on the picture, from 1 to 160.
First of all, Number 95 was very special. The other people's clothes were a little dark, but his clothes were the brightest.
The second one was Number 153. When you looked at him carefully, he didn't look special at all, but when you looked away, Number 153 seemed to come alive and waved at you. Although it wasn't obvious that I chose him.
But who was the third person? I couldn't find him even after searching twice. There were still 20 seconds left, so I swiped my finger to check the entire image again. He suddenly felt that Number 4 was very different. If you looked at him carefully, he didn't look special, but no matter where you rowed, he always seemed to be in a corner. I wasn't sure if my feeling was right, but time was up, and I could only choose 4, 95, 153 based on my feeling.
The webpage didn't respond for a long time. I thought it was a crash or that it didn't pass. Just as he was about to leave, the system notified him that he had temporarily passed and entered the second round.
The content of the second round of the test is to ask me to browse the website again before I go to bed tonight. The specific content of the test will be announced at that time.
It was so mysterious that it piqued my curiosity. I kept thinking about it. After dinner, I cut off all contact and decisively opened the website before I went to bed.
This time, it was even more fantastical. The test required me to recite the three numbers 196 and the four letters skxy. I was also prompted to solve all the problems by myself before going to sleep.
I was so curious that I couldn't fall asleep for a long time. In the end, I fell asleep and began to dream. In the dream, I came to a maze. I walked left and right for a long time before I reached a door. There was a password lock on the door. I entered 196 without hesitation.
As expected, the door opened and they entered a secret room. This time, I wasn't alone. There were more than twenty people in a secret room. Some were polite, some were physically strong, some had extraordinary bearings, and there were also two sweet-looking beauties.
No one seemed to know each other, and no one greeted each other. They were all facing the same password door and studying it.
There was still a password lock on the door, indicating that he could only try the password three times. After a moment of silence, everyone began to discuss with each other. A person who looked like a university student said that the password must be 495153, because this was the answer he gave when he saw the Along the River during the Qingming Festival, and it was quickly passed.
Everyone was skeptical, but they still let him try. He pressed the password and the back door did not open.
The system notified him that he only had two chances left. At this moment, a beautiful woman walked confidently to the door and said that the webpage prompted her to remember a set of numbers and a set of letters before she went to bed. The letters were SKSY, and according to the English table, the numbers they represented were **. Therefore, the password for this door wasn't six digits as we thought, but eight digits. We pressed it and there was a click, but it still didn't open. It gave people the feeling that the password was correct, but not completely correct.
Everyone fell silent, not knowing what to do. The door announced that he had one last chance.
At this moment, it was as if someone, but also as if it was me, had clearly provided me with a set of numbers. I knew that this was definitely the correct answer. I stepped forward and told everyone that the password should be 41187. Everyone asked me why, and I said that it must be this, but I can't explain it too clearly now.
Everyone said that they couldn't press the button if they didn't explain it clearly, but I still insisted on pressing it. At this moment, two strong men held me down, and I could hardly break free.
Fortunately, dreaming was my forte. I tried my best to control my dream world. My strength gradually increased. In the end, I finally shook off the two of them.
Then, I pressed the password. The door slowly cracked open, and a soul-stirring light shot out from inside. Just as I was filled with joy, the door stopped and then slowly closed. The system notified me that the door was permanently locked, and the test was over.
After everyone looked at me with venomous eyes, they all left the testing ground dejectedly. I also followed everyone out slowly, but I kept feeling that something was wrong. I knew that I wasn't awake yet, so I stopped. I suddenly remembered that the webpage also reminded me that I had to rely on myself for everything. Was it hinting that I should be the one making decisions in my dreams?
Thinking of this, I tried my best to control myself and control the dream with my obsession. In the end, I used the power of awakening to finally control the entire dream and the door. The door suddenly collapsed and the system finally notified me that I had successfully cleared the level.
As for why there are five numbers, I will explain it to everyone in the future. At that moment, I suddenly woke up. I was drenched and my heart was still beating violently.
I stabilized myself for a long time. When I looked at my phone, it was already two in the morning. I took a shower and returned to the bedroom. He quickly opened the website to see if he had passed the test.
However, that post no longer existed, and I couldn't open the various test websites. Just as I was wondering, I realized that there was an APP called the Metauniverse on my phone.
I didn't have this before. I had a feeling that this app wasn't simple, so I clicked on it without hesitation.
At this moment, the phone screen began to spin slowly and quickly. I was a little flustered. As the screen spun, my ability to control my body became weaker and weaker. Although my consciousness was clear, I couldn't control myself. Looking at the phone screen, as the screen spun, my consciousness suddenly entered a large room.
How should he describe it? This room was very similar to the internal structure of an alien spaceship in a cartoon. There were screens all around, playing all kinds of scenes. There was no connection between the scenes, but there was no one.
It took me a long time to regain my consciousness. I looked at myself first. My limbs and clothes were normal.
I looked around, but there was no door. How could I go out? I used my courage to shout, is there anyone?
At this moment, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind an unknown screen." Are you feeling better? You're not dizzy anymore, right?
I asked curiously,"Who are you? Where am I?"
I know you have a lot of questions, and I will answer them one by one later. But now, I just want to tell you that your current and upcoming experiences may be very wonderful and unbelievable. Now, you need to calm down and make sure that you are not dreaming. I will give you a few minutes.
I begged," Brother, don't give me time. I want to go home now. What happened today was too strange."
The man smiled and said," Alright, come in when you've thought it through."
Strangely enough, I woke up immediately. I immediately got up and washed my face to wake myself up.
" What's going on? Was I dreaming just now?" I looked at my phone. There was still the Meta-Universe app.
Although I was curious enough, I didn't dare to press it.
After a while, it was already five o'clock in the morning and the sky was already bright.
I thought about what happened today again. I felt that at least the other party didn't have any ill intentions and asked me to come back directly. I shouldn't be in any danger. And for some reason, the feeling just now was fun, familiar, and even pleasant.
I struggled for half a day and decided to try again. I pressed the Meta-Universe APP again.
Sure enough, I entered that room again.
This time, the voice spoke to me first. Welcome back. Are you sure you're not dreaming now?
Everything I've experienced today is unbelievable. I can also confirm that I'm not dreaming. You should have something to tell me. Can we talk directly?
It seems that we didn't choose the wrong person. Before I get to the main topic, you should have a lot of questions in your heart. You can ask me or us questions first.
Alright, first question, where am I?
I hope you can understand that you're not in any place on Earth right now. Your body is still in your home. To others, you look like you're sleeping while playing with your phone. However, your consciousness is now in a multi-dimensional space, which we call the meta-universe. You might not be able to understand this with your current understanding, but you can rest assured that you can return to the real world at any time.
This was a little incomprehensible, but I'll take it that I understand. Anyway, everything that happened today was too unusual.
The second question I asked was, how did my consciousness separate from my body?
The consciousness and the body are separate. The body is just the carrier of the consciousness. You know quantum theory, right? No matter how far apart two entangled quantum are, when you observe one of the quantum, the other quantum will immediately collapse. Consciousness is a form of quantum entanglement. We have the technology to separate consciousness from the body. As for how to separate them, it's still too difficult to explain it to you with the current knowledge on Earth. You just need to know that we have the ability.
Forgive me for being blunt, but this is still the same as not answering, but I don't want to pursue the matter. The third question I want to ask is, why did you bring me here?
" Of course, we have our own goals. Every once in a while, we will choose a person from different regions of Earth to be the messenger of the universe to fix some chaotic historical events so that time and space will not be chaotic. Of course, we could also change history by changing the present, but that would be extremely complicated and could cause new chaos. Therefore, through precise calculations and weighing, we chose to let the consciousness of the messenger of the universe return to the past to repair the chaos of time and space. You have passed our test, so you are our chosen messenger.
You mean to send me to ancient times, right? This is too old-fashioned. I'm tired of watching this in time-travel dramas!
This place isn't old-fashioned. I guarantee that your next experience will be novel and wonderful. Also, sending you to the past requires too much energy. Besides, sending someone who doesn't exist in history back to the past might cause new space-time chaos. Therefore, we chose to send your consciousness to the past and attach it to an important person in history to repair historical events, so as to prevent new space-time chaos.
Wait, why would there be space-time chaos? Wasn't history just history? Wasn't the past just the past?
The space-time system of the universe is an extremely complicated system. The higher the level, the more complicated it is. It is inevitable that there will be all kinds of loopholes, which are what you call bugs. "In addition, your understanding of history is biased. History is not simply a matter of the past, but something that always exists in the past. Moreover, it has a logical continuation of future events. You've heard of the so-called double-slit interference experiment on Earth, right? Through observation, you can change what happened before. This also indirectly proves that by changing the present, you can change history. Therefore, some things that happen now can also be transmitted to history and cause chaos. If it was a small historical event, we wouldn't have to fix it because the space-time society was extremely complicated and had the properties of a buffer solution, so there wouldn't be too much of a problem. However, if it was a major historical event or an event with a serious disorder of logic, such as the victory or defeat of a war or an irreversible event such as a time traveler killing his grandfather, we would have to fix it. If we didn't fix it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Inconceivable? How could it be unimaginable? What would happen if he didn't repair it?
In the light case, it would cause some people's space-time consciousness logic to be confused, such as the Mandela effect that you often talk about. It could also cause some people to go crazy or cause some so-called supernatural events. In the worst case, there would be war, plague, and even the extinction of races or civilizations. The Mayan civilization and the ancient Egyptian civilization had no choice but to disappear because of the disorder of the logic of time and space.
What you said was too mysterious. Do you have the confidence to let me accept this mission? This mission is too important. I'm afraid I won't be able to complete it well.
Your work is enviable enough, and everything here is fascinating enough. We are 100% sure that you will accept this job. We will train you to be competent for this job, and we have very advanced science and technology that can help you repair historical events safely and smoothly.
You mean, I can do this job through training, right?
Of course. Otherwise, we wouldn't have chosen you.
Then why was it me alone and not a group of people? Wouldn't it be better to repair it that way?
Send someone over, and we only need to check your location and fix any new loopholes at any time. If there were two or more people, the complexity would increase exponentially. "Of course, in special circumstances, we will consider sending two or more people.
Everything here is beyond my knowledge, but I choose to believe you. By the way, who are you? Can you come out and let me meet you?
I can't tell you who I am yet. Just treat me as a machine behind the screen in front of you.
F * ck, artificial intelligence? What exactly do you do? Are you organized?
I'm the Meta-Universe Committee, the person in charge of the Greater China region. I'm in charge of repairing the space-time chaos in the Greater China region.
In other words, there was another person in charge? Of course, look at the screens around you. We all belong to the Metauniverse Committee. We have a leader, the person in charge of Earth, but I don't know who the leader's superior is.
Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. What happened today was too strange. My mind is a little messy. I have to sort it out. One last question, why me? Was it because of that test?
Of course, I'll explain it to you at the same time. That post was posted online by the committee. The reason why they chose a less well-known forum was because they didn't want too many people to see the post. That would also cause chaos. The first round of tests is very simple. It is to test whether your consciousness and thoughts can be successfully accepted by us. The key is the second round. You need to have a strong ability to control your own consciousness. You did it perfectly, and you're very lucky!
To be honest, I'm still a little confused. Can I go back and calm down? Or will I stay with you forever?
Of course we have to go back. When you're not carrying out missions, you're just an ordinary person. It's just that when we're carrying out missions, we need to use your consciousness.
How long does it usually take me to carry out a mission? If it takes too long, what if my body in the real world is disturbed or an accident happens?
We will ensure that no one will disturb you, and the time ratio between the real world and the past is 1:100. In other words, one hour in the real world is equivalent to 100 hours in the universe or ancient time. So you have plenty of time to complete the mission.
This is really interesting. I'm ready to accept this challenge, but I want to go back and think about it first.
Alright, I'll let you go back now.
In an instant, my surroundings turned dark. I opened my eyes again and returned to the real world.
I was sure that I wasn't dreaming. I quickly looked at the phone screen. The icon of the universe was still there.
I need to digest what I've just experienced. Everything from yesterday afternoon to now flashed through my mind like a movie. Before I knew it, I fell asleep again.
