Vol 8 Chapter 58: Paris in my heart

Public cafeteria.
Booker and Elizabeth were waiting for the machine to eat with the dinner plate. They had been settled by the civil servants here, took a shower in their independent residence, and changed into suitable clothes. Booker wore a sturdy grey overall, while Elizabeth picked a goose yellow printed spinning dress.
"Booker, do you think this is another Colombia?"
"Perhaps, my first impression of these two places is always very strange, but the connotation of Colombia is very shallow, but the feeling here is very warm." Booker looked around the people in the cafeteria, they have a kind of Busy, lively and serious temperament, eating quickly, the whole environment is noisy but not busy and crowded, "It seems that each of them has a job, maybe they are all workers. I want to meet the artists and writers here."
A middle-aged man standing in line behind them couldn't help but say, "I am the artist you are looking for."
Booker was taken aback. "You don't look like it."
"The artist also has to work, eight hours a day, and the rest is left for creation." The middle-aged man was very curious about Booker. "I saw your news in the forum. Guests from another parallel universe are welcome. I used to think that this theory was compiled by scientists. If I have the opportunity, I would like to paint a portrait of you."
The people around them also looked at Booker with curious eyes. The residents of this city were warm and indifferent, maintaining a kind of courteous closeness.
Not everyone speaks their language, and Booker's communication is very problematic. This world is also the earth, but there are many differences between the journey of the planet and Booker's original world. These differences require patient research to understand. Booker and the two are just passing by in a hurry and do not intend to stay here for long.
Booker and Elizabeth are allowed to move freely in this future city in parallel time and space. As long as they do not act that endangers the safety of the community, they will not be monitored and punished.
A young man is in charge of receiving the two guests.
After the meal, the man in the costume came to find them again, and the other party said that he had passed through the rift and went around in Booker's world.
Elizabeth smiled and said, "In less than half a day, what did you see there?"
"I've seen everything I should see," the man put his left leg on his right leg, sitting comfortably, "the world you are in, there are two cities, one in the sky, called Colombia, and the other on the bottom of the sea, called ecstasy. City. In our world, there is such a city on the ground called Gushan. It is also isolated from the world. Let me say, the two cities over there have no future if they don’t make changes. The backward management system, stupid social thoughts, and bourgeois fantasy regime have already done their best just to operate, not to mention development, it will inevitably usher in collapse within half a century."
Booker has a deep understanding of this. "What you said makes sense, but what is different about Gushan?"
"Gushan is not a mere city. It is a test field for society. A successful and stable model is extremely important for the practice of theory. I noticed that there are similar social trends in your world. We can increase cooperation. Strength, joint research, and common progress, so that the bright future of mankind will come sooner."
Booker's communication with the person in charge of Gushan did not attract Elizabeth's interest. Booker and the others found out, so they let her go out for a stroll. "Be careful, Elizabeth." In response, Elizabeth just nodded excitedly.
"That girl," the man frowned, "she is very powerful. Gushan is a closed time and space. I thought that this kind of closure was complete, but it was an accident like yours." He stretched his brows again and made a joke. "It seems, don't feel too good about yourself before doing anything."
Booker was surprised when he heard this. The man seemed to have guessed his thoughts immediately, "Don't get me wrong, I always speak like this. If I have something to say, I won't hide it."
"You are a respectable leader."
The man shook his head, "You are not sincere in saying these things. We are all comrades with ideals. Although we live in different worlds and have different revolutionary theories, we are in similar trends, and our determination is also different. The same. If you want, you can stay in Gushan for a few more days. Comrade Bian Ning will take care of you and you can ask him any questions. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time. We will not be free of your personal freedom. Make restrictions. However, the way you travel through time and space is really very important. It is an opportunity for both of our worlds. I urge you to think about whether you can let this gap become a bridge between our two sides."
"We will consider it."
On the other side, Elizabeth was hanging out on the streets of Gushan. If Booker feels kind to the city because he has returned to the idealist cluster, then Elizabeth feels very uncomfortable here. Her ability is strongly suppressed here, just like in a siphon device, but the difference is that the siphon will draw away her energy, making her unable to open the space-time rift, but in this world, she has power, It is difficult to observe the cracks.
In Booker's eyes, this world is a prosperous human city, but in Elizabeth's eyes, it is a desert, wilderness, and lifeless.
There is the possibility that a huge background has swallowed the world, like a dark abyss, swallowing all the tributaries of the river.
Elizabeth raised her head and stared at the purple sky.
A stranger walked over from behind and stood side by side with her, also looking at the sky.
Elizabeth shivered with fright when she recovered, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't pay attention to you. Is there anything wrong?"
Lu Zongping also looked up at the sky, "It's very different here, right?" He spoke standard English.
"Yes, sir, this city is very prosperous."
"For mortals, this is the case, but for you, this city must be extraordinarily pale. As a quantum observer beyond time and space, you can see all the possibilities of the world, but here, these possibilities are all The huge field covers, suppresses, and destroys."
"Wow. No, I mean, your words are very reasonable, but UU reading www.uukanshu.com I am not as good as you said."
Lu Zong shook his head flatly, "Your ability is limited by the siphon device in that tower, but since you are in this time and space, that tower cannot continue to influence you. As time goes by, you will become stronger and stronger. I'm getting closer and closer to my destiny. Cherish your time, cherish your time with Booker DeWitt."
"I do not understand."
"There have always been a lot of doubts, you may have noticed, but you did not ask, because you are too thirsty for freedom, so you will selectively give up some of the questions, for fear that there is a problem that will prevent you from going to Paris. In fact, there is nothing good about Paris. Slowly You will find that all cities in this world are the same, just like cages, trapping people in them. It is nothing more than the prisoners in the cage. Everyone is working hard and doing something to make themselves look alive. , Is free. Colombia is like this, Paris is like this, and Gushan is also the same. You want freedom, you don’t want to be free when you go to Paris. What actually does Paris have? Romance, passion, croissants, and stories. These It’s all created by people. If you want freedom, then do something."
"Do something?"
"Yes, everything, everything." Lu Zongping gave a simple smile, "Sometimes don't be so compassionate and save the world. Only the narcissist will take it as his mission, any great change. It all started from a small place. This truth is often understood by many people but never understood. It’s not that they don’t understand. It’s just that they lack a fundamental foothold and they will be swept away by the mad current. Elizabeth, go live , Go to work, and when you find your footing, it will not be too late to go to Paris."
