Inhuman Tests and Genome Altered Men - C43

After looking at each other for a short moment, I also felt what Li Fengyun said. This child’s eyes were clear and wise, with a maturity that was at odds with his age.

A familiar feeling arose.

It was necessary to talk to the child.

It reminded me of that man.

Memories of his childhood resurfaced. The figure of the person in his mind merged together with this rude little friend in front of him …

“Mo Kevin, I heard from your father that you want to quit school, right?” I went straight to the point.

“Well, yes, what are you trying to say? Persuade me to study Upwards Ho!? Save it. ”

A sharp-tongued kid.

“Do you think you’re smart?” I asked.

“Fine, maybe smarter than most.”

“The more intelligent people should study well, grasp more knowledge, and become a person who makes an important contribution to society in the future.”

“Is that so? It was just a lecture, so it made no sense. The knowledge in the school and the contents in the textbooks were nothing new to me. I had already grasped that knowledge when I was in kindergarten, so staying in school now, isn’t that a waste of time? ”

Was she a talented child?

“You can’t finish learning all the knowledge. Maybe you’ve already finished the primary school curriculum, but what about the secondary school curriculum and the university curriculum? “You don’t have that kind of knowledge. You can jump to middle school and learn more …”

“Will that knowledge answer my confusion?” Little friend Mo Kevin suddenly asked.

Confusion?

“What are you confused about?”

“I’m confused.”

“Tell me about it.”

“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you and you can’t solve my doubts, so why do you have to follow me and feel troubled? Let’s not talk about it. ”

I scratched my head, thinking that this child was indeed special. He was very smart, much smarter than his peers. I knew that he must have mastered a lot of knowledge.

But I was the best of the half-finished Superman experiments anyway. At his age, I had discussed some profound issues with that man, and I thought my understanding and knowledge reserves were all right.

“Mo Kevin, don’t be so conceited. You are not the only smart one.” I know it’s the only way to get his attention.

As expected, the childish little friend Mo Kevin raised his eyebrows and said after pondering for a moment, “Seems like you are very confident that you can help me answer my questions, right? “Then I’ll start. Tell me a few questions and see if you can give me an answer.”

“Let’s begin.”

“Where are we coming from?”

“What?” We? Where did it come from? “What do you mean?”

Kevin revealed a look of disappointment. “You don’t even understand my question?”

“You didn’t make it clear.”

“Okay, we, you, your friends, me, customers in the shop, where did we come from?”

What kind of problem is this?

“We were raised by our parents in life, we didn’t jump out from the stone. What’s the point of this question?”

“Oh, I mean, where did humans come from? How did human consciousness come about? I’m standing here talking to you. I’m me, so before I was born, who was I? ”

I was about to reply with an evolutionary theory when I realized that his question was not a simple question of human origin.

He was talking about how human consciousness came about.

“I” as myself, my consciousness, how did it come about?

Was there me in the world before I was born? If so, where am I? If not, how did my consciousness appear?

I thought about his question, but he continued, “Who was I before I was born? Who am I after I go? Before a person was born, did his consciousness already exist? After death, did consciousness dissipate? Or does it continue to exist in another form? Such as a soul? Ghost? Does a human truly have a soul? Is there a ghost in the world? If it did not exist, then it meant that after a person died, they would be extinguished like a lamp. Everything would be over? Our consciousness will also disappear? ”

Who was I before I was born, who was I after I went…

Does a person have a soul? Where does consciousness go after death? Is there a ghost in the world?

This series of questions from Mo Kevin exploded outwards, causing me to sink into deep thought…

Consciousness, soul, destination …

His questions were beyond the scope of ordinary subjects, and this knowledge could not be learned in textbooks or in schools.

He was asking the final question of philosophy.

There was no answer to such a question.

From a philosophical and religious point of view, it seems to be understandable, but not necessarily correct.

Seeing me fall into deep thought, Mo Kevin let out a soft sigh.

This sigh did not contain the slightest disdain or ridicule. Instead, it was filled with loneliness and helplessness …

“Sure enough, you guys can’t understand my words either.”

Li Fengyun pulled on my sleeve, signalling for me to stop being so silent. He had to say something to fool Mo Kevin.

This kid, Mo Kevin, was really smart. How could he be easy to fool?

After organizing my words, I said, “Your question is hard to answer, and you don’t have a definite answer. Let me put it to you. It may be a bit irrelevant, but I hope it will help you.”

Mo Kevin nodded as his face finally revealed traces of excitement and anticipation.

“I don’t know who I was before I was born, I don’t know who I was after I went there, but I don’t know either. But I believe that even if we die in nothingness, with our souls shattered, there are still things we have to do while we’re still alive to prove that we’ve lived before. “Why? Some people die, but they live in the hearts of others forever. And why, when some people are still alive, do others think that they are dead?”

“You’re talking about Zang Ke’s’ Some People ‘?” Mo Kevin asked.

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that I agree with the Zang family’s teacher.” In this world, whether a person is alive or dead, whether his soul exists or his consciousness disappears, what I want to say is that if a person is alive and does something more meaningful, then when he is alive or when he was alive, it makes sense. ”

“What do you mean?”

“Let’s put it this way through a religious point of view. Buddhism cultivates the afterlife with emphasis on karma; Taoism cultivates the present life with emphasis on seeking truth; Confucianism cultivates the world with emphasis on the path of living. But no matter what religion it is, it’s all about teaching people to be good. Why should it be good? ”

“Why?”

“Because, only by pursuing that goal, can we become better people, can we do more for the society of this world, and can we better realize our self-worth. In that case, even if we die, even if our souls dissipate, even if our consciousness returns to nothingness, there will still be people who will remember us. On the contrary, there is no difference between living and dying if you pursue and study the existence of the soul and the location of your consciousness but do not know how to be a good person and do not know how to seek for the well-being of the people of this world. ”

After saying this, I lit a cigarette, leaving Mo Kevin some time to think.

The questions he asked were so acute that even the best scientists and philosophers would not be able to give him a reasonable explanation, so I tried to convince him and enlighten him by using this method of diverting attention, similar to changing concepts.

After all, he was not even ten years old.

Even though he was far smarter than his peers, he was still a child.

Whether we have souls or not, wherever our consciousness after death, we should do something more meaningful…

After a moment, he said, “What’s your name? “I think you must be a salesperson at a nearby home appliance supermarket. What you said is very interesting. I have some ideas. Although you seem a bit suspicious, at least you are much better than those teachers at school.

“My name is Shu Jing.”

“Shujing?” Can a home appliance salesman have such awareness? Where did you learn all that from? ”

Where did you learn it?

I had discussed similar issues with that man many years ago.

The young me, a little afraid of the dark, always felt that there was some inexplicable force gathering there, thinking it was a ghost.

That person said, whether there are ghosts or not, whether humans have souls or not, whether we have consciousness after death, as long as we are alive, we must use our consciousness to do something more meaningful.

He said that the unknown power in the darkness may be beyond the limits of human knowledge and science. That is a plane that we cannot understand, but regardless of whether that power is real or not, we still have to be good at ourselves.

He also explained to me, from the Buddhist and other religious aspects, what it is that a man should do when he is alive.

He asked me where I had learned all that.

Not in a book, but in the childhood memory of that youth whose name I can’t remember …

“Little Mo, that knowledge was accumulated from all these years of studying and living. Although it is not perfect, but there is a certain amount of truth to it. I hope it can be of help to you.”

“Hmm, I understand. I still need to continue with my studies. I will be going to class next Monday. My knowledge is not as profound as I imagined. Thank you, Shu Jing. Alright, you guys go ahead and eat. Drink less wine, I’ll go read. ”

After saying that, Mo Kevin no longer paid any attention to us. He turned around and walked towards the restaurant’s second floor. The second floor was where the owner and the others lived.

The young Mo Kevin had a maturity and wisdom that ordinary children did not have. He was very smart, but not limited to that. He was good at thinking, was knowledgeable, and was very similar to the person from back then.

Returning to the table, Li Fengyun said, “Third brother, do you feel it? Little Mo seems to be like us, even more outstanding than us.”

“Yes, that’s right. It is possible that he is also a semi-finished product of that experiment.” “He’s not even ten years old yet, which means that about ten years ago, the experiments of the ‘C’ organization were still going on. Ah, what kind of crazy organization is that? And it still hasn’t stopped?”

“Hmph, organizations like that will definitely not stop. They will continue to experiment with humans, and once there is a certain degree of progress in their experiments, they will be greatly encouraged. After being encouraged, crazy people will become even more crazy. You sit here while I go up and talk to Kevin. ”

“About what?”

“Tell him that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng.”
