I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1045 The Same Confusion

"So, even though you're awake, you still don't want to do anything, right?"

Omega Zero asked the colleague who spoke indifferently, feeling distressed.

"What can I do? I'm not a 'savior'. I'm just an ordinary hotel waiter. I don't even know where I came from. What qualifications do I have to pursue the truth?"

"But no matter who you are, you have the right to pursue the truth!" Faced with such an attitude, Omega Zero could no longer bear it...

"Even single-celled organisms that know nothing have the right to pursue the truth! Not to mention us who can think independently!"

"How can you be sure that our thinking is truly 'independent'? You said you have awakened, but before awakening, were your distorted thoughts also independent? How can you be sure that the thoughts you have now are not distorted? What if you 'awaken' again in the future, awaken once, awaken twice, and keep awakening, then are you awake or not?" The colleague asked Omega Zero a series of questions.

He had experienced Omega Zero's current stage and could understand his feelings. However, after his passion was exhausted, he could only fall into confusion again in this huge mystery. For these seekers of knowledge, this hotel was a devil's den from which they could never escape. They could only be trapped in it, gradually abandoning their "desire for knowledge" in despair, and becoming machines that could not think...

After hearing his colleague's question, Omega Zero was silent for a while, as if he was thinking seriously about what his colleague said.

But after a while, his firm voice rang out again:
"I do think I have awakened, but I have never thought that awakening is a one-time thing. If I could really wake up completely at once, it would not be awakening, but enlightenment. None of us can do such a thing..."

"I may not think as much as you do. All I'm thinking now is 'I've slept too long and need to wake up a little'. The pursuit of the truth is only to help me find some meaning in my existence. You're right. I don't know if my current thoughts are twisted, but at least they are 'my' thoughts."

“Isn’t thought the growth of constant self-denial?”

“Always think that your past self was wrong, always believe that your future self will be better, and move forward despite mistakes and confusion.”

"If one day I have no strength left, I might end up like you, but I am full of energy right now."

“I want to know who I am.”

“I want to see the outside world.”

"I want to know what the truth is."

"This is my simplest thought. I haven't thought seriously about the more complicated things."

"Whether it's the meaning of the truth or the nature of confusion, it's not important to me. Now, every step I take, I'm learning new truths. At least I'm happy."

Omega Zero's tone gradually became gentle, as if he remembered what he had gained during this period of time.

"I don't want to argue with you. This is just my choice." He said slowly to the colleague.

"Yes, choice..." My colleague sighed and didn't continue the argument.

They are actually just the same "seeker of knowledge" in different time periods.

“We are all the same.” The colleague said with some nostalgia, perhaps thinking of his past experiences.

"No, we are different." Omega Zero's voice suddenly became excited: "You have never seen a real human being, right?"

After hearing what Omega Zero said, the colleague was stunned for a moment.

"Have you seen it?" he asked in disbelief.

"Of course I have! Isn't it right here?"

…After Omega Zero’s introduction, the colleague realized that the “tenant” who followed Omega Zero here was actually a human.

Before this, he seemed to have completely ignored Li Luo's existence.

Li Luo was clearly in the screening room, and she looked exactly like a human, but for some reason she was ignored.

It seemed as if there was some kind of barrier blocking his perception of "human beings". It was not until Omega Zero took the initiative to break this barrier that he noticed... there was a "human" here.

"She, she is human? Isn't she a tenant? No, she looks like a human, but why didn't I notice her? She has been here all the time. Is my mind twisted again?"

As my colleague was struggling, his voice gradually became more excited.

"Where did you find her?!"

"She said she was from another world."

"Like the Savior?"

"Correct."

The colleague, who had originally sounded depressed, began to speak in a rapid voice, and even trembled with excitement and stuttered after learning that Omega Zero had brought a "human".

"You, you wait, I'll go tell everyone about this, wait, she is a human, she is really a human! Really? Really! Let me take another look to see if it's right... Yes! Yes! Wait, let me take a closer look, don't make a mistake... Two eyes, a nose, two ears... Hair grows on the head, fingers grow on the hands, the same as us, but different! This is a human! What's your name? Human?"

"Li Luo."

Li Luo's somewhat cold voice came slowly, like a clear spring, flowing in the light and shadow that had not yet subsided.

As Li Luo's response came out, Mo Ling seemed to hear the colleague's panting. He was clearly just "a machine", but now he had begun to breathe rapidly.

"It's just a human being. Is it necessary to get so excited?"

Mo Ling didn't quite understand at first, but after thinking about his experience, he slowly understood why...

Having stayed in this "dark" hotel for so long, I was doubting myself all the time. I watched those "humans" in the video every day, but I had never seen a human being.

And now, the existence that only appeared in light and shadow and fantasy actually came before him.

It was like watching the dragon in the movies every day, and then one day he found that the "dragon" really appeared in front of him. No wonder he was so excited.

"Omega Zero, wait a minute."

"Li Luo, wait a minute. I'll tell other colleagues about this."

"Everyone must want to see you... They have been confused for too long, and some have fallen asleep again. After seeing you, they will definitely wake up again."

"Wait a minute... wait a minute... I'll be back soon..."

He kept muttering to himself, but was reluctant to leave, as if he was worried that after he left, the "human" he had waited so long for would be gone again.
