An hour later, a sandcastle as tall as a child was completed.
Feiqipan sat above the sandcastle, flicking the tip of his tail and leaving a long mark in the wet, compacted sand.
"finished!"
The three children laughed and cheered, turning their heads to talk to Dr. A Li.
When Conan came over with a small bucket, he saw three children chattering and introducing the sand castle to Dr. A Li and Feichi. Haiyuan Ai and Chi Feichi stood beside them, facing the sea with calm faces, and curiously took a look. , found that the other people's buckets were empty, and couldn't help but remind them, "I said, have you forgotten that we are here to catch the sea?"
"Because you can't dig clams at all..."
The three children all complained that they couldn't dig out any shells.
Conan immediately began to popularize the 'how to find shells by floating through sea water' and 'the method of finding shells through blowholes', and also demonstrated it.
The three children couldn't wait to run to the side to try, while Hui Yuan Ai and Chi Fei Chi were still facing the sea like statues.
Chi Feichi seemed to be reading the outline, but in fact he was looking at the purple text reflected in his left eye, carefully memorizing and understanding the knowledge points transmitted by Ark.
Haibara Ai couldn't get rid of those reasonable-sounding analyses, and couldn't help but think about those problems, and continued to lose focus.
Why can cells make up a variety of living things? Everyone is a unique individual, and is their personality determined solely by inherited genes and experiences? Does the human soul exist? Where does the soul come from and how is it born? Where did I come from? …
Conan stood up and passed between the brother and sister. He found that the two of them were still looking at the place where the sea and the sky met. He turned to look at the sea and found nothing worth seeing. He walked to Dr. Ali in confusion. , "Doctor, what's going on with Brother Chi and Haiyuan?"
Dr. A Li sweated and scratched his head with a helpless smile, "It seems like this is what they have been like since they got here."
"After you get here?" Conan looked at the large sandcastle piled up, then turned to look at the two people who were as if they were petrified, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Hey, hey, how long have these two people been standing there...
"Yes, when they and the children came to find me, Fei Chi was still chatting with Xiao Ai, but after they got here, they kept standing like this. I was busy taking care of the children building sandcastles, so I didn't pay much attention. Their condition, so to speak, they have been standing like this for nearly an hour..." Dr. Ali said, and couldn't help but become worried. He walked to the two of them and wanted to reach out and pat Chi Feichi on the shoulder, but he was worried again. Is there something wrong with the health of these two people? The palms of their hands were not slapped.
Conan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Haiyuan Ai's eyes. He found that Haiyuan Ai's eyes were unfocused and he couldn't help but frown and observe their expressions.
The state of these two people made him wonder - are the two friends still alive?
Heatstroke? Not like that.
Poisoned by sea snake venom? Or was he drugged with some kind of neurotoxin? It's not like that...
"Snapped."
Haiyuan Ai raised her hand speechlessly and slapped away Conan's hand that was reaching under her nose, "What are you doing?"
Chi Feichi lowered his eyes, covering up the white icon that flashed in his left eye for a moment, and then looked at Conan.
Conan grinned and rubbed the back of his red hand, becoming even more speechless. "I should be the one to ask this question. What are you doing?"
"Nothing, just looking at the vast sea, I think it's very suitable to think about philosophical issues." Haiyuan Ai yawned calmly, and then looked at Conan intently, "Brother Fei Chi raised some very interesting questions. I Who is it? Where do I exist? Where do I come from?"
"W-what?"
Conan felt a slight chill on the back of his neck as Haiyuan Ai stared at him like this.
Haiyuan's eyes were very strange, as if he was seeing something else through him, or as if he was trying to see some incomprehensible existence from him. In short, it was an indescribable weird feeling.
Speaking of which, sometimes Chi Feichi looked at him like this, but Chi Feichi's 'condition' was much more serious than Haiyuan's.
Dr. A Li and Conan exchanged a look.
It’s not an illusion, something is really wrong!
"Don't think about it," Chi Feichi patted Haiyuan Ai's head, "I don't want to send you to Qingshan Fourth Hospital."
"I know that it is difficult to have an answer to this kind of question, and it is easy to fall into misunderstandings," Haihara Ai looked at the sea again, "Once you come to a conclusion that is different from others and you firmly believe it, you will be Think of it as a lunatic, but when you’re bored, it’s quite relaxing to think about it.”
Chi Feichi nodded in recognition and added, "Actually, there is an extended question, where will 'I' go in the end? After death, the body will slowly disintegrate and eventually become a part of nature. Logically speaking, most It's the same after brain death, but what if..."
Dr. Ali listened to Chi Feichi's calm and gentle voice, and his expression gradually changed from doubt to contemplation.
If the brain is preserved and kept alive after the death of the body, am I still alive? Is this kind of 'I' considered alive? Can this kind of 'I' live forever, or will one day become a state where 'the brain is still functioning but the self has disappeared'? Is human survival defined by the survival of the body, the survival of the brain, or the survival of the soul?
Hiss... He thinks these questions are very interesting to think about.
Also, after the body disintegrates and returns to nature, where does the soul go? Is it to enter reincarnation, regain a new life, or dissipate? Or has it always existed in another unseen dimension of the world?
If the body dissolves, the brain ceases functioning, and the soul dissipates, does 'I' cease to exist?
If the basic unit of life is a cell, is the human body really dead after it is disintegrated? Will there be cells with other 'influencing factors' that continue to exist? So is 'I' really dead?
"I exist in the past, present, and future," Chi Feichi said calmly, "So, am I really me?"
As Conan listened, he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he saw Dr. Ali, Haihara Ai, and Chi Feichi looking at the sea, they entered a state of thinking with their eyes blank, and shouted loudly, "Doctor!"
"ah?!"
Dr. A Li was startled, looked around, and locked eyes with Conan, "What's wrong? New... uh, no, I mean don't be so loud... ah ha ha ha..."
Conan felt helpless and terrified when he saw Dr. Ali covering up his slip of the tongue and smiling exaggeratedly.
The doctor just acted like a fool, okay?
However, if there was any, he couldn't say it directly in front of Chi Feichi.
Inadvertently, Conan caught a glimpse of three children running up to a man to talk to him. He pointed with his hand and changed the subject in a cute voice, "I wanted to talk about them. Have they met someone they know?"
"Huh?" Dr. Ali noticed the situation over there and stepped forward out of curiosity, "I've never seen that person..."
Hui Yuan Ai bent down, picked up Fei Chi, and walked up to him, "But even if they are strangers, they can still chat with each other."
When Conan saw Chi Fei Chi following him, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. As he walked, while Chi Fei Chi wasn't paying attention, he reached out and pulled the clothes of Dr. A Li and Hai Yuan Ai. When they looked over, he frowned and lowered his eyebrows. He said, "What happened to you just now? Especially you, doctor, you have seen Haiyuan staring blankly at the sea for at least an hour. Just now you were staring at the sea in a daze like her. Don't you think something is wrong?"
"Really?" Dr. Ali thought for a while, scratched his head and smiled, "I'm fine. Just like Xiao Ai said, facing such a vast sea, it is also very relaxing to think about life's problems. thing."
"What about you, Haiyuan?" Conan looked at Haiyuan Ai seriously again, "Didn't you tell me? Don't guess Brother Chi's mood, and don't discuss philosophical issues with Brother Chi, otherwise you will be easily influenced."
"I don't think this question is strange. It's just a reflection on life." Haiyuan Ai saw that Conan was so serious and thought about it seriously. "Of course, it's also because of Brother Chi's voice. In such an open place, Listening to his voice makes people feel peaceful..."
"Although it's the same in normal times, it's really easy to calm down when listening to Fei Chi talk," Dr. Ali added with a smile, "But today, listening to him talk about the philosophy of life so seriously, his voice is always echoing in my mind. ”
Conan thought of the horror stories Chi Feichi told and immediately felt the same, but he still said seriously, "Have you forgotten what Dr. Fukuyama reminded us?"
Dr. A Li and Haihara Ai were startled.
By the way, Dr. Fukuyama seems to have said that the most troublesome thing for patients like Chi Feichi is that they are clear-headed and logical. However, some of their thoughts are different from those of the general public, and can even be said to be highly deviant, such as those who focus on occultism. Study and believe something exists.
This type of people can fluently express their correct or incorrect thoughts and concepts, and can also prove that their wrong views are correct through many of the current public thoughts and opinions.
If others are not careful, they will be affected and start to doubt life. They will slowly accept theories that they themselves find absurd and crazy, and thus be 'assimilated'.
Seeing the two people reacting, Conan continued in a low voice, "Brother Chi once used his observations and the results of training animals to prove that he could hear the words of animals. Although that was not deception, it was just because he was too convinced that he could hear. Hearing the voices of animals, he has symptoms of auditory hallucinations, but this is the most terrifying thing. His subconscious is deceiving even him. I believe he just shared his thoughts, but you may not be affected. If Based on the theory just now, he said that he can hear the voices of animals because of the resonance at the soul level, or the conclusion that "the death of the body does not mean the end". Do you think it makes sense? At least it is possible. Yes, right?"
Dr. A Li and Haihara Ai looked at each other and wanted to nod.
Although they would not try to make any dangerous moves just because of comments such as "whether physical death is real death," but regarding the resonance at the soul level, it is not impossible to think about it carefully.
Some people have a strong sixth sense, so Chi Feichi may also be sensitive to animal emotions.
As for whether there is resonance at the soul level, it is a bit mysterious, but it is not impossible... right?
