I am God Chapter 1: : An observer outside of time

Published:

下午尹神约了个朋友,在个茶点餐厅喝茶。

In the afternoon, Yin Shen invited a friend to drink tea at a refreshment restaurant.

尹神从二楼伸出手:“在这!”

Yin Shen stretched out his hand from the second floor: “Here!”

大堂的一个男人立刻看到了他,笑着走了上来。

A man in the lobby saw him immediately and walked up with a smile.

寸头男是个网络写手,也是尹神的大学同学,这种人大约就是那种什么都知道一些,但是都都不那么深入,作为一个闲聊的对象实在是再恰当不过了。

The inch-headed man is an internet writer and also a college classmate of Yinshen. This kind of person is probably the kind who knows a little about everything, but they don’t go deep into it.

尹神喜欢和他聊天,天南地北,从科学科幻、神话历史、天文地理、军事民闻等等都喜欢说。

Yin Shen likes to chat with him, and he likes to talk about everything from science fiction, mythology, history, astronomy, geography, military affairs and so on.

不是很严谨,就是纯属瞎扯,但是却让人感觉很放松。

It’s either serious or just bullshit, but it’s relaxing.

两人这一次又从历史说到神话,又从神话聊到志怪小说,其中还夹杂着西方的诡谲传闻。

This time, the two talked from history to mythology, and from mythology to ghost novels, with strange rumors from the West mixed in.

尹神突然开口说道:“最近,我每天半夜睡着的时候,总会感觉到另一个自己突然从身体里爬了起来。”

Yin Shen suddenly said: “Recently, when I fall asleep in the middle of the night, I always feel another self suddenly crawling out of my body.”

“然后一整夜,我都在自己看着自己,直到自己醒过来。”

“And then all night, I just looked at myself until I woke up.”

“就有些像是”

“It’s kind of like”

“西方的灵魂投射,还有你小说里的阴神离体。”

“Western soul projection, as well as the yin and **** separation in your novels.”

“你说,这是什么情况?”

“You said, what’s the situation?”

寸头男没有笑尹神的话语里充满了荒诞,反而是认真思考了一会,组织好语言。

The inch-headed man didn’t laugh at the absurdity in Yinshen’s words. Instead, he thought carefully for a while and organized his words.

“首先需要弄明白的一点,人如果真的拥有灵魂,那么人的灵魂是什么组成的?”

“The first thing to understand is that if a person really has a soul, then what is the composition of the soul?”

“是物质,还是能量呢?”

“Is it matter or energy?”

尹神思索了一下,不确定的说道。

Yin Shen thought for a moment, then said uncertainly.

“好像都不是。”

“Neither seem to be.”

寸头男又接着问:“那么记忆和意识呢?是在灵魂之中,还是依旧存在于大脑之中。”

The inch-cut man then asked: “What about memory and consciousness? Is it in the soul, or still exists in the brain.”

尹神却又确认的说道:“是在灵魂之中。”

Yin Shen confirmed, “It’s in the soul.”

“我感觉我的身体好像一个锚点,将灵魂锚定在这个点上。”

“I feel like my body is like an anchor point, anchoring my soul to this point.”

“我明明只要一个挣扎便可以出去,但是感觉一出去,就会发生一些恐怖的事情。”

“Obviously I can get out with just one struggle, but I feel like something terrible will happen as soon as I get out.”

“这感觉让我心里莫名其妙的生出恐慌的情绪来,然后再也不敢往下面接着去做了。”

“This feeling made me panic inexplicably, and then I didn’t dare to continue to do it.”

尹神突然笑了起来:“你说我这是不是要觉醒什么超能力,或者是要开始修仙了?”

Yin Shen suddenly laughed: “Do you think I am going to awaken some superpower, or start cultivating immortals?”

寸头男却摇了摇头:“暂且不论你说的是不是真的,如果人真的拥有灵魂,而且也不属于物质和能量,连记忆和意识都能储存在其中,那就不是什么超能力和修仙能够比拟的了。”

The inch-cut man shook his head: “For the time being, regardless of whether what you said is true or not, if a person really has a soul, and it does not belong to matter and energy, and even memory and consciousness can be stored in it, then it is nothing. Superpowers are comparable to cultivating immortals.”

“什么灵魂投影,什么阴神出游,只不过是古人臆想出来的存在,和其相比就好像天和地的差别。”

“What kind of soul projection, what kind of yin spirit wandering, are just the existence imagined by the ancients, compared with it, it is like the difference between heaven and earth.”

“甚至历史神话之中的诸神、道教传说之中的仙,都比不上这种存在。”

“Even the gods in historical myths and the immortals in Taoist legends are not comparable to this kind of existence.”

“连那开天辟地的盘古、造物主上帝、梵天、卡俄斯、阿撒托斯,也拿你没有什么办法。”

“Even Pan Gu, the Creator God, Brahma, Chaos, and Azathoth, who created the world, have nothing to do with you.”

尹神听到这话呆立当场,这刚刚还在谈人的灵魂,怎么就扯到这些造主和各个神话之中至高无上的神灵上去了呢?

God Yin stood there dumbfounded when he heard this. He was talking about the human soul just now, so why did he involve these creators and the supreme gods in various myths?

“你这话就说得没边了,有这么厉害的么?”

“What you said is endless, is there anyone so powerful?”

“按照你这样说的,人如果有灵魂就能够直接无敌了。”

“According to what you said, if a person has a soul, he can be directly invincible.”

寸头男却认真的说道:“我可没有乱说,而是有实有据的。”

The inch-headed man said seriously: “I’m not talking nonsense, but there are facts and evidence.”

“因为宇宙是物质组成的,而时间是物质的运动、变化的持续性、顺序性的表现。”

“Because the universe is composed of matter, and time is the manifestation of the movement of matter, the continuity and order of change.”

“如果你的灵魂不属于物质和能量,意识也并非依托在大脑而是灵魂之上。”

“If your soul does not belong to matter and energy, your consciousness is not based on your brain but on your soul.”

“这表示什么?”

“What does this mean?”

“你的灵魂和这个宇宙就好像不重叠的两个平面,你可以超脱于这个宇宙之外,甚至不受到时间的约束。”

“Your soul and this universe are like two non-overlapping planes. You can transcend this universe, and you are not even bound by time.”

“你想想,是不是这样?”

“Think about it, isn’t that so?”

尹神接着说道:“那岂不是说,灵魂一旦脱离肉体的束缚,立刻就会脱离这个宇宙?”

Yin Shen continued: “Doesn’t that mean that once the soul is freed from the shackles of the body, it will immediately leave this universe?”

“甚至灵魂可以直接超脱于时间长河之上,穿越空间和岁月,成为游离在时间线之上的存在?”

“Even the soul can directly transcend the long river of time, travel through space and time, and become an existence free from the timeline?”

“我甚至能够随便穿越到任何一个时代,甚至篡改历史?”

“I can even travel to any era at will, and even tamper with history?”

寸头男却又说出了自己的想法:“这可不一定。”

The inch-headed man expressed his thoughts again: “It’s not necessarily true.”

尹神问道:“为什么?”

Yin Shen asked: “Why?”

寸头男:“刚刚我说了,你诉说的这种灵魂和这个宇宙就好像不重叠的两个平面,两个不重叠的平面,根本就没有交联的点。”

The inch-headed man: “As I said just now, the soul and the universe you described are like two non-overlapping planes, two non-overlapping planes, and there is no point of intersection at all.”

“你和宇宙没有关联,那么你从什么角度感知到宇宙的存在呢?”

“You are not related to the universe, so from what angle do you perceive the existence of the universe?”

“你连宇宙都感知不到,又何来的感知到时间,又如何进一步穿梭在时间线之上呢?”

“You can’t even perceive the universe, how can you perceive time, and how can you travel further on the timeline?”

尹神心中对于那种恐惧的来源,突然有种解答了。

In Yin Shen’s mind, he suddenly had an answer to the source of that fear.

“这么说,灵魂一旦离体的话,就好像失去了坐标和方向的船只,很有可能脱离这个宇宙再也找不到方向回来了?”

“So, once the soul leaves the body, it is like a ship that has lost its coordinates and direction. It is very likely that it will leave this universe and never find its way back?”

寸头男点了点头:“一种可能是,你依旧存在和现实宇宙之间的联系,在这里存在一个锚点。”

The inch-headed man nodded: “One possibility is that you still have a connection with the real universe, and there is an anchor point here.”

“这样你可以通过这个锚点观测到这个宇宙,和我之前所说的,成为一个游离在宇宙和时间之外的观测者。”

“In this way, you can observe the universe through this anchor point, and as I said before, become an observer free from the universe and time.”

“如果你在不同的时间段上存在着不同的锚点,甚至也可能成为和你所说的一样,成为一个穿梭在时间线的存在。”

“If you have different anchor points in different time periods, you may even become an existence that travels through the timeline as you said.”

说到这里,寸头男的话语变得阴沉了起来。

Speaking of this, the inch-cut man’s words became gloomy.

“但是也有另一种可能。”

“But there is another possibility.”

“你在脱离身体这个锚点的瞬间,就被抛向宇宙之外的不可知之地。”

“The moment you break away from the anchor point of the body, you are thrown to an unknown place outside the universe.”

“那里可能是另一个宇宙、可能是时间的源头,也可能是另一个维度或者人类无法想象的未知。”

“There may be another universe, it may be the source of time, or it may be another dimension or an unknown that humans cannot imagine.”

“那里可能什么都不存在,就好像一个囚牢一般,而你的灵魂则会被困在哪里,一千万年,一亿年。”

“There may be nothing there, just like a prison, and your soul will be trapped there, ten million years, one hundred million years.”

“直到”

“Until”

“永恒。”

“Eternity.”

场面瞬间安静了下来,半晌都没有人说话。

The scene fell silent in an instant, and no one spoke for a long while.

这个时候寸头男却突然笑了起来,他端起茶壶给尹神满上。

At this time, the inch-cropped man suddenly laughed, and he picked up the teapot for Yin Shenman.

“你这个想法不错啊,挺有新意的。”

“Your idea is good, it’s quite innovative.”

“我接下来的新书想要用你这个设定,说不定能火呢?”

“My next new book wants to use your setting, maybe it will be popular?”

寸头男并没有将尹神所说的话当真,以为只是和往常一样,进行了又一次天马行空的想象和毫无拘束的空谈。

The inch-headed man didn’t take Yin Shen’s words seriously, thinking that it was just another unrestrained imagination and unrestrained empty talk as usual.

然而尹神却心绪复杂,他站起身来准备离开。

However, Yin Shen was in a complicated state of mind, he stood up and prepared to leave.

“我先走了啊!”

“I’m going first!”

“你如果写出来了,或者有什么新的创意和想法,记得和我说一下,我们一起探讨。”

“If you have written it, or if you have any new ideas and ideas, remember to tell me and let’s discuss together.”

然而寸头男拦住了他,从背包里拿出了一样东西。

However, the inch-cut man stopped him and took out something from his backpack.

“尹神,先别走。”

“God Yin, don’t go yet.”

“用了你的设定,我便送你个好东西。”

“Using your settings, I will give you a good thing.”

尹神接过了寸头男送给他的盒子,打开一看,里面是一块不规则的石头,石头上有着一个精巧的虫子图案。

Yin Shen took the box that the inch-headed man gave him, opened it, and found an irregular stone inside, with a delicate bug pattern on it.

“这是什么?化石?”

“What is this? A fossil?”

寸头男:“莱德利基虫,三叶虫的一种。”

Cheap-headed man: “Ledlich, a type of trilobite.”

“这化石虽然不值什么钱,但是想一想能够看到几亿年前的生物栩栩如生的出现在自己面前,就感觉是花多少钱都买不到这种震撼。”

“Although this fossil is not worth much, but thinking about being able to see lifelike creatures hundreds of millions of years ago appearing in front of me, I feel that no amount of money can buy this kind of shock.”

“拿回去摆在家里,畅想和感受一下几亿年前的太古地球和这些古老生物的沧桑吧!“

“Take it back and put it at home, imagine and feel the ancient earth hundreds of millions of years ago and the vicissitudes of these ancient creatures!”

尹神谢了谢寸头男,拿着礼物一边走一边看。

Yin Shen thanked the inch-cut man, and walked with the gift while watching.

然而刚刚走到大堂,一辆失控的汽车突然从外面的街道以一百多码的速度急速撞向了大厅的玻璃门,带着层层玻璃碎片碾压向了尹神。

However, as soon as he reached the lobby, an out-of-control car suddenly slammed into the glass door of the lobby from the street outside at a speed of more than 100 yards, crushing Yinshen with layers of glass shards.

尹神拿着手中的化石,好像一块破布一样被撞了出去。

Yin Shen held the fossil in his hand and was knocked out like a rag.

血泊之中,尹神的眼神渐渐模糊。

In the pool of blood, Shen Yin’s eyes gradually blurred.

“是谁开车这么飘,能够从大路上一路开到餐厅的大堂里面。”

“Who is driving so smoothly, can drive all the way from the main road to the lobby of the restaurant.”

等到看清楚的时候,却又突然释然了。

When I saw it clearly, I was suddenly relieved.

“哦!”

“Oh!”

“原来是特斯拉!”

“It turned out to be Tesla!”
