科齋第A074回:哈萬/皮舍爾 (Havan/Pisher)

哈萬和他的哲學家同伴在河邊聊天。他說有些天才的腦只有3毫米厚度,卻已經精通數學。他提出一個理論,大腦不過是連接雲端網路的數據機。

但哈萬喝醉了,掉過河裡溺斃。他的同伴們並不太在意,因為他們覺得哈萬腦也只有3毫米厚,他的靈魂還能苟延殘喘一陣子。

不久,一個名叫皮舍爾的漁夫來到河邊捕魚。他要養家活口,這點微薄的最低收入根本不足夠。這時,哈萬看到了他,便上前要酒喝。皮舍爾沒有拒絕,反而和他成了朋友。哈萬還偷偷地把魚趕到他那裡給他釣上。

那段時光真美好,但大地守護者告訴他,他的靈魂很快就會消散。不過,有個女人也即將死去。他有機會代替她前往來世。如果他能不心軟,或許就能保住性命。哈萬猶豫不決。

他來到碼頭,看到一位金髮女子正和她的小女兒玩耍。不久,她便會滑倒,頭部撞擊堅硬的地面,當場斃命。哈萬下不了手,於是他便扶起女子,要她站直。他甘願自己赴死。

哈萬回到皮舍爾身邊,告訴他自己原本是個幽靈。他無法殺死一個女人,這注定會讓他很快死去。皮舍爾悲傷不已,但幾天後,哈萬興高采烈地跑向他。上帝賜給了他升神了。

Havan talked to his fellow philosophers out by the river. He said some genius only had a 3mm thickness of brain and already their mathematics are great. He proposed that a brain is but a modem to Cloud Network.

But Havan was drunk and he killed himself by drowning in a river. His fellow men were not too concerned, as they felt Havan with a 3mm brain could linger on for a while.

Soon a fishing man named Pisher came to that spot to catch a fish. He had to provide some food to his family, and that minimum pay of his was hardly enough. Then Havan saw him and came to him for drink. Pisher wouldn't refuse and made friend with him. Havan secrety drove fishes to him too.

It was a wonderful time but Earth Guardian told him his soul would soon dissipate. But there is a woman due to be dead. He had a chance to ride to next birth in lieu of her. If he could be hard-hearted for it he could all but save himself. Havan was hesitant.

He arrived at a pier when a blonde woman was playing with her infant daughter. Soon she would slip and knock her head on hard ground that would kill her instantly. Havan couldn't do it, and helped the woman up to stand straight. He would accept death.

Havan went back to Pisher and told him he is a ghost. His inability to kill a woman sure put him to death soon. Pisher was sad, but Havan ran to him happily, after a few days. God had granted him godhood instead.
