Novel website. Qi Yue and Meng Yang were not surprised by this answer. In fact, over the years, they had seen many newly awakened superpowered individuals. Only a very small number of them would agree to become a member from the beginning. Most people needed a transition period to deal with some things around them before returning to the organization.
Qi Yue's smile remained unchanged, revealing his exceptionally good upbringing. "It's alright, you have three months to consider."
Linghu Lan didn't want to continue the topic, so she asked, "Why is this plan called the Carrier Pigeon Plan?"
"There is an old saying, 'carrier pigeons deliver messages.' Carrier pigeons have a very strong ability to return home. When this plan is implemented on each individual, we hope that they can eventually return from time and space to their home on Earth."
These simple words filled Linghu Lan with a bittersweet feeling of relief and relief at surviving a catastrophe. Did this mean that someone hadn't returned? She looked at Qi Yue and asked, "Carrier pigeons, are they also messages you send to other worlds?"
"You could say that the more we understand the vast universe, the more we realize that human civilization is not isolated. As long as we find a suitable point, we can enter another civilization through the shortest distance. The carrier pigeon project is an attempt. After all, our physical bodies are too slow, but our souls only weigh 21 grams. It's much easier to use it to contact civilizations in other parallel worlds," Qi Yue joked.
The soul weighs only 21 grams, a claim from the movie "21g." It suggests that the body loses 21 grams at the moment of death, and that 21 grams is the weight of the soul. Of course, this is a romantic interpretation.
How many people are in the same situation as me right now?
“This building is full of them! There are probably over five thousand more. Does that sound like a lot? No, most of them might not be able to complete the mission successfully.” A somber atmosphere suddenly filled the air, and Qi Yue rallied his spirits to end the conversation. “I’ve said enough. Do you have any questions?”
"When can I leave?" Linghu Lan stood up and looked directly into Qi Yue's eyes. She could tell at a glance whether he was lying or not.
"After the surgery, you should be almost fully recovered in about two weeks, and then you can leave. But don't forget our three-month agreement."
"Okay, thank you!" Linghu Lan breathed a slight sigh of relief and saw Qi Yue and Meng Yang out.
Meng Yang remained calm and composed, while Qi Yue waved goodbye to her with a confident smile.
Linghu Lan knew what that meant. Qi Yue was certain that she would come back, just like the others who left this building. Sooner or later, they would find that after wandering through time and space, they might not be able to find a suitable way of life or interesting things to do in the real world.
After all, life that travels through time and space is thrilling and exciting, and while it may reduce emotional ties with those around us, it allows for a more rational approach to life. However, real life requires more than just rationality; it also demands a great deal of emotion.
This situation is awkward because emotions return, but ultimately, because of emotions, reality is abandoned. Life is truly a maze, and one can never find a way out.
Linghu Lan stayed quietly in her hospital room. Apart from the footsteps of doctors and nurses, the entire building was unusually quiet. Most people there were still in a long coma and fast asleep. When she went out, she could only see rows of small houses with the same style, which only added to her sadness. She was one of the lucky ones.
