Alien

Date: August 3, 2084

When I opened this diary again, my mood was completely different from before——

No words can describe this miraculous experience!

So many things have happened in this month. First, the Interstellar Discovery Project, which was originally scheduled to be terminated, was allowed to continue. We tried to decipher the garbled code that successfully saved the project for a while, although we all knew that it was obviously impossible to succeed. No one can learn a language with just a few letters.

We also tried to send some text messages again, but in the end, no one responded.

Just when we thought it was just a sound generated by the vibration within the universe, a miracle happened!

We received a real text!

Intelligent beings from far away, light years away, say to us: "Hello!"

When the news was received, everyone in the research center couldn't help but cheer with excitement.

It is simply hard for us to imagine that even if there are intelligent life forms outside the Earth, outside the solar system, and outside the Milky Way, can such intelligent life forms really decipher our language in such a short time?

Sorry, I have been so busy lately that my "diary" has been delayed to become a "monthly diary". But I sincerely hope that you who read this can be patient and forgive my laziness. After all, no one can remain calm in the face of mankind's major discoveries. In fact, I picked up the notebook again because I was forced to calm down.

I looked through my last diary and found that what I wrote about those intelligent beings cracking our language was actually wrong.

They simply responded to us verbatim with the exact words we sent them.

When we first discovered this, we were completely amused. But we have to say that being able to guess the meaning of the content we sent in such a short time and imitate it and send it back is already a miracle.

I can vaguely feel that they are more intelligent and more advanced creatures.

So we started trying to communicate with them quite formally.

This may sound funny at first. After all, communicating with a creature that you don't have a common language with sounds as unrealistic and far-fetched as communicating with your pet at home.

But we did it.

Or rather, they did it. I guess they used some kind of extremely advanced big data analysis system to analyze our corpus and guess what we meant when we spoke in different contexts, and then arranged and combined them in this way.

Only two months later, they were able to send us some simple sentences, although the word order was often reversed, with a kind of chaotic beauty of translation, but isn't this a miracle?

Thanks to the miracle of the Creator and the miracle of the universe, we can have equal dialogue with civilizations tens of thousands of light years away from Earth here on Earth!

Sorry, the gap between journal entries this time is longer than before.

I need to sort out the recent information because it is too complicated.

They... maybe we can call their planet "alien planet".

From the information that the aliens have fed back to us, we know that the alien planet is a planet that is constantly changing at a high speed. The living environment is extremely unstable, and natural disasters occur frequently. In order to adapt to the environment, the aliens need to constantly mutate. Mutation creates species diversity, and they have developed hundreds of different populations, each of which even has reproductive isolation!

This is simply unimaginable for us earthlings. Although we also had more than a hundred different genders at a certain period in history, that is only in theory after all. If it applies to biological organisms themselves, it would be too strange.

…

After reading this, Xu Cheng was already certain that the information receiving device in the basement of the parachute company was used to communicate with the "aliens".

In other words, the commander behind the parachute company and the provider of their magical biological technology is the "aliens".

But... there seems to be something strange...

"Hey, why don't you turn over?"

Luo Tan looked at Xu Cheng, whose face was filled with worry, in confusion.

Xu Chengxia raised his head and said consciously: "I don't know why, but I always feel that this description of the alien planet seems a little familiar?"

Luo Tan: "Of course I am familiar with it!"

Xu Cheng: "What?"

He originally thought that this sense of familiarity came from his memory of his mother. Wait, that's not right. How did Luo Chen know that?

Luo Tan said angrily, "Don't you think that the so-called evolution theory developed by the parachute company is too similar to the situation on the alien planet?"

Yes.

The parachute company has been advocating evolution and is committed to evolving all of humanity. Isn't this what the aliens experience every day?

"So, my guess is..."

Xu Cheng looked at her with great anticipation, waiting for her groundbreaking opinion.

Luo Tan said mysteriously, "I guess the aliens don't want us to have an easy life. They want us to have a life as miserable as theirs, so they did this."

Xu Cheng: "...You know what, this is also an explanation."

"Right?"

Although this was unreasonable, Xu Cheng really couldn't find a better explanation for the moment.

Aliens can't really be that crazy, right?

Anyway, judging from the fact that they can't understand what humans on Earth say and yet have to reply like a repeater, they are pretty crazy.

Xu Cheng: "How about we continue reading the diary?"

He had just turned the page of his diary when he saw Luo Tan's face change and he grabbed his wrist.

The next second——

[They are coming in! Maybe we were talking too loudly just now. What should we do? Is there any place to hide?]

Xu Cheng took a deep breath and looked around the small room frantically. This was a spare room, which seemed to be used for researchers to change clothes, so there were many closets inside.

The next second, Luo Tan saw Xu Cheng holding her wrist:? ?

Then she heard a voice: "I'm sorry!"

As the world spun around, she was picked up by a pair of strong arms. After a few short steps, she felt herself being stuffed into a narrow space. At the same time, the light in front of her eyes dimmed. She looked up and saw the top of the closet covered with wood grain.

Luo Tan: [Wait, haven’t I seen this scene in many TV dramas? Uh, the original wife comes, hides in the closet, and beats up the mistress? ]

What and what is this?

Xu Cheng stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Cheng also entered the closet.

As the closet was too cramped, they were facing each other.

Fortunately, there were a few pieces of moldy clothes between them, so their faces were not pressed against each other.

Luo Chen took a breath, and the next second she almost let the damp and moldy smell go away on the spot. She lifted up the clothes that were difficult to describe in words, covered her nose, and said tactfully: "Did you forget something?"

Xu Cheng: “What?”

Luo Tan hinted wildly: "When we came in, were there two people?"

Xu Cheng: “…” Sorry, how come he forgot one!

The door of the closet opened again, and Xu Cheng went out. When he came back, an unconscious Andre was stuffed in.

Well, the already small space has been made even worse.

This time, Luo Tan and Xu Cheng’s faces were almost touching each other.

Xu Cheng's face turned slightly red.

Xu Cheng turned his face away a little, trying to look away. His mind was filled with the following thoughts: Don’t look at anything inappropriate, don’t get so close to anything inappropriate…

Luo Tan didn't think too much about it. Her mind was full of: "Why haven't the people outside come in yet? If they don't come in, I'm going to be squeezed to death here."

The next second, as if in response to her inner voice, the outer door was kicked open with a bang!

The sound of several chaotic footsteps echoed in the room.

Xu Cheng listened attentively for a while and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, from the sound of the footsteps, there were only two people.

But the next second he couldn't keep calm because he heard the sound of the closet door opening and closing.

"Pop", it was the sound of the cabinet door opening.

"Puff!" It was the sound of the cabinet door closing.

It was obvious that they were checking every closet, searching for anyone hiding inside.

The sound of footsteps and the dull thump and friction of cabinet doors opening and closing were getting closer and closer to them.

There is no way to keep waiting like this.

When the cabinet door next to theirs was opened, Xu Cheng gritted his teeth and decided to take the initiative and rush out.

As his hand rested on the door—

Luo Tan suddenly discovered that the animated picture predicted by the system had quietly changed.

[Hey, why is the guy who attacked us in the first floor lab here? ]

Xu Cheng's hand froze just as he was about to push open the cabinet door.

What is he doing here?

Want to have a piece of the pie too?

The next second, the cabinet door was opened from the outside with a "click", and the two people standing outside suddenly came face to face with Xu Cheng and Luo Tan!

Xu Cheng, Luo Tan: "..."

Aren’t these the director of the urban management department and the captain of the fire brigade who were just here on the scene?

I'm shocked! They're actually two acquaintances!

However, at this moment, the two of them had completely lost their previous image, and had almost turned into two ferocious-looking lunatics. One of them stretched out his claws towards Xu Cheng, and the other one grabbed Luo Tan. Judging from his expression, he was going to give him a shoulder throw.

At this moment, both of them stopped moving at the same time.

“Snap!” “Snap!”

There were two knocks on their heads in succession; it was a shiny rice spoon reaching out from behind.

"Bang!" The supervisor and the captain fainted on the ground at the same time.

The man who had just ambushed them showed his face, and at this moment, his expression looked quite normal.

"Ah..." The attacker saw the two men lying on the ground. His rice spoon fell to the ground and he cried, "Oh my God, I didn't recognize him just now and knocked out my own boss!" He looked at Luo Tan and Xu Cheng pleadingly, "Don't tell them next time!"

Luo Tan thought that the scene where he used the spoon just now was actually quite similar to her style. She comforted him skillfully: "Don't say it, but you, why did you save us, aren't you..."

She hinted with her eyes: Aren't you in cahoots with them?

The sneak attacker who had acted so crazy before now looked like he was about to cry: "I don't know either. I really didn't lie to you just now. I was waiting outside for your news, but before I knew it, I seemed to have walked in. Then, a voice in my heart told me to stop everyone from exploring the secrets here at all costs. If anyone comes in, I will kill them all."

He spread his hands, his face full of helplessness: "Then I felt as if my body was being controlled to do things that hurt you. The real me could only watch from above, helpless."

Xu Cheng and Luo Chen looked at each other.

Therefore, the people who come in to hunt them down now are probably also manipulated in this way.

This sounds a lot like the symptoms of soul evolution.

So, for those people who become mentally ill or mad due to the evolution of their souls, could it be that they are also being manipulated by others and do so many outrageous things?

Xu Cheng: "So you are free from control now?"

Stalker: "Yeah, but I don't know when I will become abnormal again. I always feel that if I continue like this, I will become schizophrenic."

At this moment, the fire chief lying on the ground shrank back and opened his eyes!

He woke up so quickly!

The attacker was about to give him another spoonful, but he dodged it!

The next second, he put two fingers into his mouth and whistled.

The whistle was not loud, but strangely it was very penetrating and seemed to incorporate a strange tune.

Luo Tan took the spoon from the attacker and knocked the fire chief unconscious again with a "snap".

However--

The door was pushed open from the outside again.

This time, there was a dense crowd of people outside the door. The expressions on their faces were strange and frenetic, jumping and divided. Everyone was dancing their limbs, trying to be the first to squeeze in through the tiny gap.

With a "bang", Andre, who had lost his support, rolled down from the cupboard to the ground behind them. The shock woke him up. He opened his eyes and looked confused: "Where is this?"

When Luo Chen looked at this, he saw a group of people in front of him who were being controlled and were about to kill them, and behind him was Andre who had a confused look on his face and had no idea what was going on.

Luo Tan was exhausted: ...How can we fight this battle? There is no way to fight!
