Chapter 2442 The Gift is Your Life

"Why do you ask me this question?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

Hearing this, Lolita was silent for a while, then she clutched the corner of her clothes, her eyes turned red, and her breathing became rapid:

"Mr. Chen...I...I am very afraid of death..."

Chen Mo said softly, "It's normal to be afraid of death. There are really few people in this world who are not afraid of death. Those who keep saying that they are not afraid of death are more panicked than the other when they are facing death."

Lolita shook her head: "No, I'm different from others.

I have been extremely afraid of death since I was a child.

I remember that since kindergarten, when I just started to remember things, I realized one thing - everyone will die!

One day you will disappear from this world, and your consciousness, feelings, memories, emotions, etc. will all be gone!

From that time on, I started to be afraid.

As I get older, this fear has not lessened, but has become more severe.

Whenever I think about dying and disappearing, my chest becomes stuffy, I feel nauseous and retching, and I vomit everything I eat. Sometimes I even feel so uncomfortable that my hands and feet become numb, and my head feels like it’s covered with a layer of fog… Huh~~~ Huh~~~~"

As she spoke, Lolita showed obvious signs of discomfort. Her whole body began to tremble and her breathing became more rapid.

Chen Mo quickly helped Lolita sit down and patted her chest to help her breathe more smoothly.

After she calmed down a bit, she continued, "I have tried to believe in various religions, but it was useless.

They say that believing in God will give you eternal life, but I don’t see anyone having eternal life;

They say that if you believe in Buddhism you will be reincarnated, but if I really reincarnate and lose my memory, will I still be me?

They say there is everything in heaven, but my biggest wish is to live forever on earth, with my own memories and feelings, and to see the vicissitudes of life. "

“I don’t care about the death of relatives, I enjoy being alone;

I don't care about old age or illness. I would rather live forever with all kinds of illness than die naturally in good health.

I don't care about my children, they are just copies of my incomplete genes;

Some people say that eternal life is a curse. If that's the case, let me endure this endless loneliness and solitude forever! Let me taste this endless curse in this infinite dead cycle! Until eternity..."

Chen Mo got a message from Lolita's slightly crazy words.

This child must be sick.

Anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other diseases may all be complicated by panic attacks.

When a panic attack occurs, people will be particularly afraid of death, and even feel like they are on the verge of death, causing vomiting, nausea, dizziness, and a rapid heartbeat. At this time, it is very easy to mistakenly call 120 and go to the hospital for emergency treatment.

So Chen Mo said softly: "Child, maybe you should go to the hospital to have a look. Sedatives can solve your problem."

Lolita shook her head: "It's no use. I've been to a mental hospital and the doctor said I have death anxiety disorder, but he has never seen a case this serious.

I tried cognitive behavioral therapy, imaging consultation, exercise therapy, and sedatives, but none of them worked.”

Chen Mo lowered his eyes slightly and began to think.

What is the meaning of life?

No one knows the answer, but every life will eventually die, and no creature is an exception.

Although living things can reproduce continuously, each individual is independent. At the same time, resisting death is the instinct of living things. All living things are unwilling to face death. In the face of death, living things will burst out unimaginable potential.

So why doesn't life choose immortality, but chooses to pass on its genes by reproducing offspring? From a biological point of view, the meaning of life is to reproduce, in other words, to pass on its genes. From this perspective, immortality may not be a good thing.

For example, the Greenland shark can live for more than 500 years. Scientists have discovered a 512-year-old sleeper shark, which means it has lived from the Ming Dynasty to today. These sleeper sharks live in the cold deep sea. Because of the special environment of the deep sea, their metabolism is very slow, and because of the lack of natural enemies, their lifespan is extremely long. They only reach adulthood at the age of 156. If they want to reproduce, they need to live for more than a century.

However, living so long is not a good thing. Most sleeper sharks have copepod parasites in their eyes, which can cause blindness. Fortunately, deep sea does not require particularly good eyesight, otherwise these sharks might become extinct because of these parasites.

The longer these sleeper sharks live, the higher the probability of being parasitized. At the same time, because of their long lifespan, they need to endure the pain of parasitism in their eyes for a long time, which is unimaginable for humans, so immortality may not be a good thing.

Because immortality does not mean that one will not get sick. Over a long period of time, the chance of being troubled by disease is higher than that of ordinary creatures. At the same time, due to the long lifespan, they may have to endure pain for a long time like the sleeper shark.

So, immortality may not be a good thing, but a painful curse.

From the perspective of physics, the existence of life is to fight against entropy increase, constantly obtaining negative entropy from the surrounding environment to reduce its own entropy increase. However, no matter how hard life tries, it is impossible to stop the increase of entropy. It can only slow down the process of entropy increase and make the maximum entropy come later. For life, the maximum entropy is death.

This means that no matter how hard we try, immortality is impossible to achieve! Because immortality equals infinite time, and infinite time equals infinite possibilities. For example, if an immortal creature appeared on the earth, it could stay young forever and would not be troubled by aging.

But there are still many things that threaten this creature, such as asteroids hitting the earth, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters.

All of these may have an impact on this creature. After all, this creature is only immortal, not indestructible. Even if this creature survives these disasters with the help of technology.

Then 50 billion years later, the Sun will leave the main sequence state and begin to expand continuously, causing the Earth to leave the habitable zone of the galaxy. The Earth will become extremely hot and immortal creatures will have no way out at this time.

Life is only a few decades long, and there is so much pain. How much more painful would an infinite amount of time be? Even if eternal life were possible, it would still be painful for ordinary people.

The reason why Lolita can speak so eloquently is that she has not yet experienced the pain of illness or the death of her loved ones.

Chen Mo just didn't believe that a person could really endure eternal loneliness, or even the torture of illness to achieve eternal life.

With this thought in mind, Chen Mo said perfunctorily: "Eternal life is not a good thing at all! God is fair to everyone. Even if you really have eternal life, your luck may be extremely good, but because of the principle of fairness, your misery may also be extremely bad, so eternal life may be worse than death!

Instead of dreaming about eternal life, it is better to cherish the present and live every day to the fullest! "

Lolita's eyes turned cold: "Mr. Chen, your answer makes me feel perfunctory."

"Perhaps I can explain it a little more clearly."

"Remember what I said before, if you answer my questions, I'll give you a super luxurious gift?"

"This gift is your life and the lives of your bodyguards."
