It's like I'm not reborn

Chapter 151 Illusory Dreamland

Purpose……

Yes, purpose is important.

Without knowing what the purpose is, you can't know what to do to break the time loop.

You must know that many protagonists caught in a time loop have a very characteristic activation condition.

For example, death.

Only after the protagonist dies can he be teleported back to the past, and what the protagonist has to do is to avoid his own death.

Or to avoid the death of other people, and the end of total annihilation.

But what happened to Kaname was different. She didn't encounter any accidents during these five days, it was just that she would definitely go back to the past at a certain point in time.

Assuming that this is an educational movie, maybe the protagonist has to realize that he should not indulge himself or escape from life, but should cherish every minute and every second and spend meaningful days.

However, Kaname is not a person who tends to be world-weary.

And no matter how he thought about it, Shi Hai felt that Kaname's encounter with the time loop must have something to do with him.

After all, the reborn people encountered so far, without exception, are all people who know Shi Hai.

After thinking about it for a while, he answered Shi Hai's question.

"I feel that if I have been trapped within these five days, maybe other people will not be able to reach October [-]th, probably you should be dead, everyone's consciousness will be cut off, only me People go back in time with memories."

"What you said makes sense, maybe it's true...but it still feels weird..."

Shi Hai remembered what Tian Shui said.

There are countless possibilities, but only one reality.

Therefore, the current situation can be understood as that Bai Key is constantly experiencing various possibilities repeatedly.

And when she actually reaches October [-]th, that is the moment when possibility is confirmed as reality.

In other words, the time loop is equivalent to the state of 'the box is closed'.

In fact, Shihai also had doubts before. If after rebirth, the future that he had experienced disappeared, wouldn't the causal relationship be completely disrupted?

Because the original reborn, that is, Bai Yue, after going back to the past, the future of inventing the rebirth device has also become a 'thing that never happened', and since the invention of the rebirth device has become a 'never happened' If so, how is the memory transmitted to the past?
Thus, a paradox arises...

But then Shi Hai figured it out.

Because it is a memory, it cannot be affected.

He had been thinking before, since he could teleport back to the past, why not just create a time machine and teleport people back to the past?
The answer may be 'can't'.

Because sending people backwards will produce obvious paradox, and will violate the law of conservation of mass and energy.

This is also the most contradictory part of traveling through time and space. Suppose a person goes back to the past, the current universe will lose some mass and energy, and the past universe will have more mass and energy. This contradiction cannot be explained.

So maybe the only thing that can go back to the past is the memory, and it is absolutely impossible for the body to go back to the past.

And even if people's memory increases, the quality of the brain will not increase.

In fact, this can be answered by analogy with a classic middle school student question.

Does a hard drive get heavier when it is full?

The answer is 'no', right?

Memory is a kind of information, and information is carried by matter or energy, but memory itself does not have energy or mass.

So 'memory changes' will not lead to the occurrence of space-time paradox.

"I have an idea that maybe you are experiencing 'Dreamland' repeatedly."

Kaname, who was cooking fish soup, tilted her head in doubt.

"Dreamland?"

"It seems that I haven't said anything similar to you before."

"Well... But I probably understand what you mean. You want to say that everything is my imagination. In fact, the real me is still dreaming? You are just my imagination? Since I did all of this If it's a dream, doesn't that mean that I can be more casual?"

"Etc., etc!"

Seeing that Kaname was about to raise the knife again, Shi Hai quickly explained.

"I'm not saying you're crazy! I'm not saying you're dreaming right now! Dreamland means 'dream-like hallucinations', and hallucinations refer to perceptual experiences that occur without corresponding objective stimuli..."

"It's so complicated... I can't understand it."

"Listen to me explaining to you slowly. First of all, you should know what the dream is."

"Dreams are imaginations of the brain."

"It can also be understood in this way. In short, when people dream, they will 'create scenes that don't exist out of thin air', so sometimes they will have 'precognitive dreams'."

"Ah."

"As for hallucinations like dreams, it means that you get the feeling of dreaming, or memory..."

"Oh... I probably understand what you mean, that is to say, it's not that I went back to the past, but... I have an extra memory in my head out of thin air, and this memory is what will happen later" thing'?"

"That's right! This is the 'basic principle' of rebirth!"

And it's not just Bai Yao, Jian Sichun, Zhu Lingjie, Tian Shui, and Bai Yue are the same.

None of them traveled from the future to the past.

It's just 'awakening' the 'memory of the future'.

Just like Shi Hai himself.

It's just that Shi Hai couldn't completely recall the memory of the future.

However, unlike the excited Shi Hai, after hearing this passage, Kaname didn't have much reaction.

"So what... Does knowing this help the current situation?"

"Yes! Great! In this way, various factors can be ruled out! The scope of suspicion is greatly reduced... and it can also explain why you didn't see any abnormalities at the moment you went back to the past!"

This is a major breakthrough.

Shi Hai had been thinking about who sent Kaname back to the past.

But judging from Kaname's rebirth situation, he didn't see any suspicious people or things.

So Shi Hai couldn't understand how the other party managed to send people back to the past out of thin air...

But now I know that this 'opponent' may not exist.

From the beginning to the end, it was only Xiao Kaname's brain that was performing special operations, so the phenomenon similar to rebirth occurred.

The rebirth device may be a small and portable thing. This direction of thinking was wrong from the beginning.

Because the principle of rebirth is not to send memories back to the past.

So the rebirth device may not be a device that is 'used every time', but an awakening system that 'activates the special functions of the brain'.

After activation, the brain will gain the ability to synchronize memories.

And if this device can also set the time for memory synchronization, it will be able to allow the brain to synchronize the memory of October [-]th to the memory of October [-]nd... Repeated overwriting in this way will achieve the operation of time loop .

But if that's the case...

Maybe the Kaname in front of him is not trapped in the time loop, but just doesn't know what to do to turn off the brain's automatic memory synchronization.

She just hasn't realized that the loop is of her own making.

When Shi Hai watched Xiao Yao suddenly calm down, he was not sure whether he should tell her this now.

Because there is another possibility... She actually knew all this a long time ago.

And the cycle can be stopped at any time.

It's just that in order to achieve her own purpose, she deliberately didn't tell Shi Hai.

If this is the case, what Shi Hai should find out most is the true purpose of the girl in front of him.

"Why did you stop talking suddenly? Weren't you very excited just now? What did you think of?"

"It's nothing... just thinking about it carefully, suddenly I feel quite unreasonable, maybe I'm thinking too much."

"What...fortunately, I was looking forward to it..."

Shi Hai is still not sure.

Is she really believable in front of me?

Anyway, let's take a look first.

Shi Hai also just met the girl not long ago, so he doesn't know her character very well, and he doesn't know if she really wants to get out of trouble.

"Speaking of which, are you alone in your family?"

"Well, I'm usually the only one. Because of his work, my father only comes back once in half a year."

"Oh, what does your father do?"

"I don't know, he never told me, he is mysterious, I hope he is not doing some shady work..."

"What about Ling Tang?"

"No, my parents divorced when I was very young, and then my dad took me to the island, so I have never met my mom, and I don't know what she looks like, and I haven't even seen a picture Pass."

"That's it...you are also a single-parent family."

"Yeah, it's the same as you, but my situation is more like an orphan... After all, I don't see my dad a few times throughout the year, and even the phone calls only once in three months."

"Uh, this is really... It's a shame that your father can let you live here alone..."

Shi Hai felt that their family was free-range enough, but Xiao Yao's family was even more exaggerated.

This cannot be said to be 'stocking', it should be said to be 'not raising'.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Yao, you are still in school right now."

"Well, I'm in my third year of high school."

"No wonder you said you wanted to leave this small island after graduation, and it will only happen next year."

"Well, but the education level on the island really can't keep up with the big cities. Although I chose science, there are only four people in our science class."

"four people?"

"You heard me right. In the third year of high school, there is one liberal arts class and one science class. There are ten students in the liberal arts class, and only four students in the science class. We can even play badminton behind the classroom."

"It's really one of the few... Is it worthy of being a high school on the island..."

"We have a large number of people in this class. It is said that the primary school has two grades together, and the school may be closed in a few years."

"Although my grades in the class are the best, it's only at the level of [-] points in the college entrance examination..."

"That's it...or I'll teach you?"

Kaname shook her head and rejected Shi Hai's kindness.

"It's no longer needed."

"It seems that I have taught you?"

That's right, during the nearly three-year cycle, Shi Hai taught Xiao Yao all the high school knowledge in almost fragmentary fashion.

Originally, Xiao Yao was very smart, what she lacked was the teaching of a good teacher, and Shi Hai, a person who had experienced it, could not be more suitable to teach her.

Kaname turned one eye and closed the other and said.

"As a student taught by you personally, at least, it should be no problem to be your school girl."

"Oh? Are you going to come to the university I went to?"

"Yes, so from next year, I will be your junior, dear senior, please take care of me?"

"Don't you discuss it with your father? At the very least, you should find out where he works first, and then consider which university to go to."

Speaking of her unreliable father, Xiao Yao frowned with disgust.

"Why am I looking for him? I don't want to see him!"

"So you didn't want to leave this island because you wanted to go to your father..."

Because Shi Hai himself took the local university entrance examination to stay with his mother, so he thought that Xiao Yao also wanted to pass the college entrance examination and go to the city where his father lived...

Turns out that doesn't seem to be the case?
"Of course not! I'll let him die! A family-less person like him deserves a divorce!"

This is really filial piety...

Shi Hai scratched his cheek and asked again.

"Then you want to go to the college I'm attending because..."

Xiao Kaname looked at Shi Hai with a smile, and asked meaningfully.

"Hee hee, what do you think? Senior?"

Even before entering school, Kaname's address for Shi Hai has already been changed to 'Senior', and he is very sweet.

Shi Hai became unsure again, is she really interested in him?

"But it's not all because of you... Another reason is that I also want to meet that Bai Yue you mentioned."

"Oh why?"

"Actually, I heard from my father before that I seem to have a sister. When my parents divorced, my mother took my sister away, and my father took away the newborn me."

"So, Bai Yue is your sister!"

"I'm not sure...but I heard from you that the rebirth device seems to be invented by Bai Yue."

"Yes."

"And what I'm experiencing now is rebirth?"

"Hmm... Do you want to say that there is a connection between the two?"

"Is there a more reasonable explanation than this?"

"Indeed, it makes sense..."

This can explain why Bai Key, a girl living on the island, has the ability to synchronize memories.

And it can also explain why their two names are so similar...

If it's a sister, it all makes sense.

However, if they were sisters, why would Bai Yue, as an elder sister, trap her in the time loop?

"But why would she do that..."

"Maybe it's just that she doesn't want me to leave the island..."

In fact, Kaname felt that maybe as long as she gave up the idea of ​​leaving this island, the time loop would be broken.

However, this does not mean that you can give up if you give up.

Because leaving this island has always been her dream.

Especially after meeting Tokai, the desire to leave the island became stronger.

Because Shi Hai is destined not to stay on this island forever.

He's just a tourist here, and he'll leave after the Golden Holiday ends...

If you want to see him again, you have to pass the college entrance examination and leave the island.

or……

Let him stay on this island in the future.

Of course he wouldn't agree, and neither would his girlfriends.

So... a more extreme approach can be taken.

If it is true that Shi Hai can stay on the island... and live in her house all the time, Kaname feels that it will be fine even if she never leaves the island for the rest of her life.

Will the time loop be broken by then?

Worth a try……

Shi Hai guessed right, the brown-skinned girl did have dangerous thoughts.

She wants to keep Shi Hai in her house forever.
