The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 11 "Comet" premiere (7500 words long chapter) (including movie spoilers)
He Yunfeng was an employee of an advertising company. He opened the door with the key with a tired face, and returned to his rental house in Jiangcheng.

After washing my face, I put the bought fried noodles with a plastic bag on the plate, slumped on the chair, picked up the chopsticks and ate, and turned on the computer by the way.

To say that fatigue is not the exhaustion of excessive mental exhaustion, but the exhaustion of fishing.

Fishing is not easy either.

You said that you, an advertising company, also learned from Internet companies to engage in 996, do you deserve it?

Human energy is limited, even if you have 4 extra hours of working time per day, the human brain will not work 4 more hours. In fact, the real effective working time of a normal person generally does not exceed 5 hours a day.

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. You prolong the time and I reduce efficiency. He Yunfeng has already won the three flavors. He has become a master of fishing within a few years of graduation.

It is said that fishing is a joy, but a little bit of confusion about the future career development has seriously eroded his happiness of fishing, so he is more and more eager to seek spiritual comfort in the Internet.

When I was just working, I still insisted on going to the gym after get off work. After all, I was not married yet. The girlfriend I was talking about in college broke up after graduation. If a single dog is looking for a partner, physical fitness is also very important. At least the beer belly should be hidden as much as possible.

Now He Yunfeng has a "tired, let's destroy" attitude towards "healthy lifestyle".

Start a game or Station C?
After hesitating for two seconds, He Yunfeng opened the famous barrage website Station C first.

Speaking of station C, this broken station is also one of the reasons why He Yunfeng is depressed recently.

This website was He Yunfeng’s happy base when he was in college. As a man who loves comics and animations, he almost watched all the popular comics, animations, and comic-adapted movies in the United States and Yingdao during his four years in college. Later, he even watched them on Station C. For movies and TV shows, it can be said that a certain online disk has met half of his spiritual needs, and station C has met the other half of his spiritual needs.

Of course, what they have in common is that they are basically pirated resources.

However, He Yunfeng's happiness came to an abrupt end last month.

Because station C finally welcomed the C round of financing.

In this round of financing, Huanshi.com, the leader of the domestic long-form video platform, suddenly became the major shareholder of this website.

Due to demands from major shareholders and multiple lawsuits from other long-form video platforms over the past year, Station C had to make up its mind to walk from the gray shadows to the poker table.

The price paid was that He Yunfeng's source of happiness and spiritual food was deleted, leaving the vast expanse of land so clean.

Of course, Huanshi.com, as the major shareholder of station C, is not in a hurry to burn too much money, nor does it want to directly kill the younger brother who just accepted it.

In addition to supporting station C to use the funds raised in this round to centrally purchase a batch of animation copyrights that are relatively cheap in China, Huanshi.com also opened an account at station C to sell some of its own copyrighted free film and television dramas. Uploading can be regarded as helping Station C to survive the pain of transformation.

Open station C, on the homepage, there is a bright spot in the quiet night sky that surpasses all the stars, dragging a brilliant white comet tail.

The night the comet came.

Could it be a love movie?He Yunfeng, who had a sense of sight, immediately thought of this idea.

Immediately, he was attracted by a line of small words under the poster.

Sci-fi, suspenseful, brain-burning.

The mouse cursor stopped above the line of small characters and clicked.

The playback page appears.

He glanced at the up host under the video playback box, the official account of Huanshi.com.

"Heh...a stick and a sweet date."

Although Huanshi.com opened some free film and television resources to station C, it still couldn't make up for He Yunfeng's loss.

Sigh!How many dramas, classic old movies will never come back!Once the sand sculpture barrage accumulated over the years is wiped out, the old man is heartbroken!
Under He Yunfeng's contemptuous gaze, Huanshiwang's short animation cutscene was over.

The title and logo of DreamWorks have not been filmed yet, and it takes a lot of effort. Chen Jingxing plans to use them in the next real screen movie.

The voice of conversation came from the slowly focusing screen. The girl was on the phone while driving. From a few words, it could be judged that the other end of the phone should be his boyfriend.

The girl's boyfriend has something he wants to talk about before going to a friend's party with her.

"Hey?"

"Zhang Wei?"

"I can not hear you."

There was a crisp click.

The heroine suddenly found that there were several cracks on the screen of her mobile phone.

He Yunfeng chewed the food in his mouth, raised his eyebrows slightly.

Reminiscent of the label of the movie, um, is it a supernatural power?

Or a ghost?After all, this is the traditional configuration of NetU.

The scene changes to the house.

Several friends chatted while preparing food.

A woman who believes in Feng Shui is trying to recommend enzymes to her friends.

The hostess came in.

The topic turned to the screen of the heroine's mobile phone was broken and there was no signal.

The ex-girlfriend of the heroine's boyfriend will also come to the party in the discussion of the broken mobile phone screen.

Then at the dinner table, the conflict between the heroine and her boyfriend was brought out in the chatting of everyone, and the screens of other people's mobile phones were also shattered strangely, and they all lost the signal. Everyone began to talk about the news that a comet will pass by today. topic of.

Although these chats that don't seem to promote the plot seem a bit boring, but He Yunfeng has watched a lot of movies, and he has received a few obvious foreshadowings that the director wants to convey from the conversations between these heroines and friends.

For example, the male owner of the house claims to be a drama actor and has starred in a TV series, but the ex-girlfriend of the heroine’s boyfriend insists that he has watched this TV series and thinks that the male protagonist in the play is not like him.

The heroine revealed the weird stories that were caused by the passage of comets that she had seen on the Internet.

These key information planted some doubts in He Yunfeng's mind, and these doubts gave him a glimmer of expectation for the next plot.

The sudden power outage caught everyone off guard, and they quickly found a candle and lit it on the dining table.

Everyone unanimously agreed to go out to see Comet Miller, which had been forecasted by the news.

The sight of the beautiful comet streaking across the night sky amazed everyone. After returning to the room, a close-up cheered He Yunfeng up.

A broken cup.

Has anyone been to the room?He Yunfeng, who watched a lot of movies, quickly had various guesses.

Although everyone noticed the broken cup in the movie, they didn't pay much attention to it. Someone suggested to go out to see if the whole community was out of power.

One person came forward to express disapproval because his brother, who is a university physics professor, had texted him earlier that strange things might happen when the comet passed by, and asked them to stay in the house and not go out casually.

This statement not only made everyone in the movie a little uneasy, but also made He Yunfeng curious.

The title of the movie is The Night the Comet Came, is that a bit of a point?What strange things do comets cause?
Although everyone was a little uneasy, the male owner of the house pointed out that there was almost no power outage in this area, so they didn't prepare enough candles, there was only one candle on the dining table, and a flashlight. It's not very convenient. I suggest whether to go out of the community to buy a candle flashlight or borrow a candle.

After the discussion, everyone sent two boys out to borrow candles and inquire about the situation.

The rest of the house waited for the two boys to return while discussing matters related to Miller's Comet.

"bang bang bang"

The violent knock on the door suddenly reminded me!

Not only were everyone in the room frightened in the movie, but even He Yunfeng was taken aback.

A dimly lit room lit by only one candle, with shadowy faces, and a sudden knock on the door.

"The feeling of suspense came out."

He Yunfeng, who has been tested in horror films for a long time, feels that the atmosphere created by the film is very good. From this point of view alone, it is much better than many horror and ghost-themed web stars.

The pseudo-documentary-style shooting technique greatly increases the sense of reality, and the sense of reality has a great additive effect on the horror plot.

The heroine's boyfriend Zhang Weizhuang bravely opened the door to check and found nothing abnormal. Everyone was alarmed. The man of the house got up to check the electric box. After turning on the switch again, the light came back on.

"Is it just that the switch tripped? Why is it so dark outside?"

Although everyone was still puzzled, the call again gave everyone a sense of security.

The two boys who went out to borrow candles did not come back, and there was an argument over whether to go out to find them.

Then there was a knock on the door again, and after opening the door with a sense of guard, the two boys who borrowed candles came back.

Also brought back a small box.

The box contained photos of eight people, with different numbers on the back of the photos.

He Yunfeng felt a chill down his back.

The two people who brought back the box were vague about the process of going out. The boy who found the box seemed to be frightened, and kept hemming and hawing, and told what he had seen and heard under the urging of the extremely disturbed crowd.

"I...it was dark outside, I kept walking...then saw another building."

"Are you going left? That should be Building No. [-], and we are Building No. [-]." The hostess of the house replied.

The man seemed unable to accept his own words, and his expression was mixed with doubt and fear.

"...I saw that there was also a window on the first floor of that building with a light on... that window... I approached and saw through the window..."

"What did you see?"

"Tell me, what did you see!"

"...a dining table."

"There's food and drink on the table...at the table...eight people...eight of us."

He Yunfeng felt goosebumps spreading from his back all the way to his arms.

what the hell! ?
He Yunfeng began to really find this movie interesting.

In the movie, this kind of weird and terrifying statement is naturally unacceptable to everyone. The heroine's boyfriend suspected that it was the two who knocked on the door violently just now, and everyone had another dispute over this.

The crux of the matter comes back to the photos of everyone in the box and the numbers behind the photos.

There is no doubt that even if you don't accept the ridiculous things told by the boy who just returned, the contents of the box are enough to make people's hair stand on end.

The hostess soon discovered that the photo of him and her boyfriend Zhang Wei was a group photo that had been cut in half, and this photo was in her bag.

Another boy also found a problem with his photo. The clothes he was wearing in the photo were exactly the same as the one he was wearing now, and the long-sleeved T-shirt he was wearing was just bought this morning.

And the background of the photo is the wall facing the window!
This aroused everyone's panic even more. Some people speculated that someone was secretly taking pictures outside the window, but it was denied immediately because he was facing the camera in the photo. Judging from the distance in the photo, the person taking the photo must be standing in the room.

At this time, the boy who said that he saw himself wanted to look at that building again, and the familiar window on the first floor. He was also looking for an excuse to convince himself that it might be an illusion under his own fear. To confirm again.

But everyone is against him going out again alone.

"Even if you go, what will you do? Do you want to contact...them?"

"No, I will write a note, saying that my mobile phone has no signal. I want to borrow a mobile phone to contact my brother. After I knock on the door, I will stick the note on the door. I will retreat outside and observe secretly. Make a decision after development, just borrow a mobile phone, this reason is very reasonable.”

After finishing speaking, the boy took out a pen and paper and began to write.

"Hi, hello, I don't mean to scare you. My mobile phone is broken. I just want to borrow your phone for a maximum of 5 minutes. Thank you very much."

Suddenly there was another knock on the door, causing everyone to panic again.

The heroine's boyfriend Zhang Wei found a kitchen knife from the kitchen, opened the door boldly and found no one outside.

There was only a note taped to the back of the door!
Zhang Wei took off the note with trembling hands, and read the above content in the silence of everyone.

"Hi, hello, I don't mean to scare you, my mobile phone is broken, I just want to... borrow your phone..."

Zhang Wei's voice trembled and lost the courage to read on.

He Yunfeng in front of the computer also felt that his brain was shocked by an electric current.

The exact same handwriting on the two identical notes flashed alternately, accompanied by the strange sound effects of the horror engine (the horror engine and the water piano are two instruments commonly used in sound effects in horror films), and Zhang Wei's trembling voice is enough to Create a creepy atmosphere.

"This director is very suitable for making horror movies."

In the movie, after everyone calmed down, they began to study the photos in the box.
The hostess wrote down the names of the people and the corresponding numbers behind the photos one by one in the notebook, trying to find out whether there is a pattern or the meaning of the numbers themselves.

But when she was copying the numbers, she was horrified to find that the handwriting of the numbers behind the photos was almost exactly the same as her own.

These weird things made everyone at a loss. Some people think that they can't sit still. Instead of being suspicious and making all kinds of unreliable guesses here, it's better for everyone to go out together and find out what happened to the other group of them in another building?It seems that the power outage was caused by a trip. Why is it still dark outside?What the hell happened?

Although the girls were firmly opposed, the heroine was worried about her boyfriend Zhang Wei, and went out with the boys with the feeling of dying together, leaving only three girls in the house.

The four boys and the heroine were groping and walking in the darkness, but bumped into several other figures on the way.

There were also five people on the opposite side, four men and one woman, and the dark light made it impossible to distinguish the specific faces.

But everyone in the movie and He Yunfeng outside the computer screen had no doubts.

The five heroines met the other themselves and themselves.

Strong fear drove the five female protagonists to run in the direction of going back in a panic, and returned to the room.

He Yunfeng has been completely attracted by the plot after wave. One accident has just recovered and another accident appears. He has no idea what the next plot of the movie will be, and every twist is beyond his expectations. .

Even horror movies have their usual routines. Audiences like He Yunfeng who have enough viewership can often guess the development of the plot, and even predict when a scary scene will appear, although it is still inevitable. will be intimidated.

But this movie exceeded He Yunfeng's expectations in every way, and it seduced him to find the truth of the incident impatiently. It made him feel a little bit like watching a detective novel for the first time in his childhood. It has been a long time since such a movie can arouse him so much. A movie of curiosity.

Back in the movie, everyone remembered that one of the boys said that his brother was a professor of physics, and warned him in advance not to go out when the comet transited. They asked the boy if his brother had any other confessions about the comet. .

The boy suddenly remembered that his brother had left a document bag in his car a few days ago, so he went out with another boy to retrieve the file bag in his car.

There is a book in the file bag.

Gravity: An Introduction to Research Trends

Inside the book were pages of notes from his brother's class syllabus.

The title is "Decoherence and Schrödinger's Cat".

"Quantum mechanics tells us that Schrödinger's cat is in a superposition of two states, life and death, which collapse into a single event only when you open the box, but there is another theory: the two states continue exist, but are separated from each other and are independent of each other. Based on these two outcomes, each will create a new reality, and quantum decoherence ensures that there will no longer be any differences between these two different outcomes. interaction."

Although everyone does not understand quantum mechanics, they can understand the process and results described in this passage in the notes.

"That is, your brother thinks that Comet Miller will put us in a state of Schrödinger's cat? We are now in the box, and we are that cat? So... so two states at the same time? Two separate Reality?"

"Is this the effect of a comet?"

"What if the comet passes by? Will the two states re-collapse into a single event? Will me and... the other me merge? Or... will one of them disappear?"

"According to the description of Schrödinger's cat, the moment the box is opened, life and death can only have a definite result."

"So, there is a possibility that I will disappear?"

"...It is also possible that everyone is safe and sound? Isn't there some quantum decoherence written on it? The two states continue to exist, but they are separated from each other and have nothing to do with each other. Each will create a new reality?"

"You mean parallel universes?"

Everyone started arguing with each other.

He Yunfeng outside the computer screen looked dull, how could this be quantum mechanics?Schrödinger's cat has heard of it, what is decoherence?This is a movie?

"No, we can't take the risk. Maybe the box will collapse to them after the comet passes by? How can we guarantee that we are the definite result after the box is opened? No, I can't accept it. Only I am the real existence and should disappear It's them!"

The male owner of the house couldn't accept it, thinking that he was Schrödinger's cat, and once the comet's transit was over, there could only be one in between.

The heroine tends to think that it is a parallel universe, which is quantum decoherence. After the comet passes through, they will continue to be separated from each other and have nothing to do with each other.

"I'm going to kill them!"

The other seven people were stunned by his words!

Together with He Yunfeng who was frightened, why did he have the idea of ​​killing?
But then I thought about it again, if I bring myself in, if the whole incident is Schrödinger’s cat, after the box is opened, the two simultaneous states will collapse into one result, the current self may disappear, and the other self will become myself?

When He Yunfeng thought about it this way, it was not impossible for him to have killing intent towards his other self.

In the movie, none of the other seven people could accept this extreme idea.

"Can you think before doing anything stupid? Are we Schrödinger's cat or a decoherent parallel universe?"

"Even if it's possible, I don't want to take the risk!"

"Calm down, they are exactly like us, they are us! Can you do it to the other? I can't do it anyway!"

"Then we're here to do nothing? Let fate? Wait for the box to open?!"

"Fuck you idiot, can you calm down! If you want to do this, do you know who you have to deal with first? You have to deal with yourself first! You will meet yourself! Maybe you in that house are also holding The kitchen knife is waiting for you!" Zhang Wei, the heroine's boyfriend, shouted angrily.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone suddenly fell into silence.

He Yunfeng was a little puzzled when he saw this, why did several people in the movie fall silent?Is there anything wrong with this statement?

But He Yunfeng is more or less a movie fan, and the number of viewers is considerable, so he immediately reflected: "ohmygod!"

The male owner of the house who wanted to kill another one of himself also reflected the same as He Yunfeng off-screen: "He also wants to kill me? That's right, he is another me. We have the same thinking logic, the same character, my God!"

"When I had the idea of ​​killing them, he probably had the idea too! You wanted to leave a note before, and a note appeared outside my house!"

Chain of suspicion!
Although there is no "Three-Body Problem" in this plane, so He Yunfeng did not blurt out the "Law of the Dark Forest", but he also understands the logic of the chain of suspicion.

"This movie is...wow, what a genius the director is."

Back in the movie, everyone else understood this logic, and the air fell into a silence of fear and confusion.

"Book!"

The heroine reacted first.

"Yes! The key is the book. If there is no book, they will not associate Schrödinger's cat with anything else!"

"The other one has this file bag in your car!"

"They might already have it now!"

"Not necessarily, anyway, maybe we can try it first!"

"...give me your keys, and I'll get the books from their car."

"Wait, we shouldn't be blind, it's too risky! We shouldn't be going out again."

"Listen to me, I can't risk them getting the book you understand! . . . God, this is me, this is what I am, do you understand? This is what I am!! This is what I think! I have to Be the first to strike!"

The host wanted to take the key and leave the room, leaving only the other seven people looking at each other in blank dismay.

Everyone was anxious, and their negative emotions were constantly amplified.

In the constant bickering and doubts, everyone is caught in negativity.

The hostess and her boyfriend Zhang Wei also reached a stalemate because of her ambiguity with her ex-girlfriend.

Zhang Wei needs to be transferred to another city for work, but the heroine is hesitant about whether to go to another city with him. This is what Zhang Wei and the heroine talk about at the beginning of the film. During the dispute, the relationship between the heroine and her boyfriend begins. rupture.

Amidst the desperation, a loud noise made everyone startled again.

Zhang Wei couldn't hold back his emotions, and went out to check with everyone, and found that the window of the car with the file bag was broken, but the heroine returned to her car at this time and gave her boyfriend to the car. He wore the ring on his finger.

As soon as the hostess closed the car door, she found Zhang Wei standing next to the car. The hostess begged her boyfriend for peace, wanting them to forget the unpleasantness that just happened in the house, but found that Zhang Wei had no impression of the dispute she said.

The heroine finally realized that the Zhang Wei in front of her was not her boyfriend Zhang Wei.

This episode, which took place in a dark environment, made He Yunfeng feel like he was watching a horror movie.

After the hostess fled back into the room, she calmed down and discussed with everyone why someone smashed the car window.

"Why would they smash the windows? Doesn't make sense?"

"The document bag in the car has been taken away by us! The document bag is in the back seat of the car and can be seen through the window? Why bother?"

After everyone's discussion, everyone finally discovered that they are not in the box of Schrödinger's cat, but in the box of the parallel universe with quantum decoherence. Every moment, different decisions will give birth to a branch, not just two Of them, there are only two states, and there are countless of them wandering around.

And the best way to accurately locate yourself among countless selves and countless houses, and not let yourself get lost is to mark yourself!
It was only when He Yunfeng saw this that he suddenly realized that the photos of everyone in the box and the numbers behind the photos were used for marking.

By rolling the dice, mark each person with a random number, and then put the combination of numbers into the box, which is equivalent to double marking. Each person can determine whether he is in a "correct" team through his own number and other people's numbers middle.

After the digital marking, the heroine who thought she should be foolproof suddenly found that she was no longer in the original team in the conversations of other people.

She has been lost for a long time, and it turns out that the house she returns to every time she goes out is not the original house.

Frustrated in the relationship with her boyfriend, confused about not being able to find her own position, and the attack of breaking and entering, endless accusations and quarrels, the heroine quietly left the room.

Under the quiet night sky, accompanied by a poignant soundtrack, the heroine passes by one building after another, and one window after another, watching the different situations of the eight identical people inside the windows.

Some are arguing with each other, some are fighting, some rooms are empty, some people are in a cold war, and some are confronting each other.

In the process of searching, the heroine finally found a warm version of reality. Everyone in the window was happy and harmonious, without quarrels or confrontations, and there was no emotional rift between her and her boyfriend Zhang Wei.

Looking at the smiling self in the room, happily in love with her boyfriend, a trace of murderous intent welled up in her heart. She smashed the glass of the car window and drew everyone out. Make it stunned, and then "make up" as yourself to go to the party.

It's a perfect world.

The movie didn't end here. In the early morning of the next day, the heroine woke up and went out to meet her boyfriend Zhang Wei. It was Zhang Wei's cell phone that rang and found that the phone number was actually from the heroine. Zhang Wei went on Looking at the heroine suspiciously on the phone.

That's the end of the movie.

Looking at his own face reflected on the black screen, He Yunfeng heaved a sigh of relief. He hadn't encountered such an enjoyable movie-watching experience for a long time.

Quickly drag the progress bar back to the beginning, he wants to read it again!
　After scrutinizing it in detail, I found that it was still too long, and there were suspicions of watery words, so the second half of the movie was somewhat omitted.

　　But without such a narration of the movie content from the perspective of the audience, I feel a little less refreshing.

　　I will ponder carefully later, whether it is possible to control the number of words and reflect the audience's perception of the content of the movie while watching the movie.

　　The main reason is that "Comet" is really difficult to summarize and describe the plot, and the movies selected later will be much better.
