City Cicada

"From the moment I was born, I've had the same dream every day, where the same day repeats itself endlessly."
"What did you do in your dream?"
"Robbed banks, blew up buildings, flirted with girls, joyrode in luxury cars... Since it was a dream, naturally, I did a lot of lawless things."
"Tell me about your dream last night."
"Yesterday was quite interesting. After dreaming for so long, it was the first time I dreamed about someone I know in real life. She was a very beautiful girl..."
"Mhm."
The police officer Uncle nodded as he took notes:
"Keep going, I'm listening."

"[Human civilization does not necessarily need humans.]"


"Can a civilization without humans still be called human civilization?"


"Of course, I too wish everyone thought like you, Lin Xian, but clearly... some people think differently than us, and they firmly believe they are right."


"But if you ask me to deny their ideas as wrong right now, I couldn't do it. Again, who knows what is right or what's the best approach until the actual results come?"


"You must have read 'The Three-Body Problem,' a famous science fiction from China, right? In the second book, 'Dark Forest,' at the end of the story, all humans think the Wall Facer's logic is flawed, incompetent, and a failure."
