Absurdity Index

Eastern Black Bird

13K0

On the HD planet, there is a high concentration of Sizi. Thirty-five-year-old Li Ming, the third-generation colonist of the HD planet, is an ultimate rationalist - his life is accurate to the second, and his decision-making relies entirely on logic. Even his ex-girlfriend left because of "inconsistent information management concepts." Until one night at seven o'clock, the news was replaced by a bizarre report: a man was collectively abandoned by H? O elements because of long-term discrimination against drinking water, and was liquefied on the spot. Immediately afterwards, the image in the mirror tore off his note and left a countdown; a mysterious text message informed him that the "absurdity index exceeded the standard" and that if it was not reduced within 24 hours, he would evaporate. In order to survive, Li Ming had to enter the "Logical Behavior Correction Center", was labeled as a "high-risk rational person", and was paired with a partner with an absurdity index of 98 - Zhao Xiaohuang. She took him to eat coriander ice cream with Lao Ganma, told Apple "you're fat", looked for a mentor, and even walked into the conditioning center headquarters to receive "extreme intervention." In training after training, Li Ming was forced to let go of analysis, give up control, and face the "purposeless things" he had never done. When he finally put the sock on his hand and said "Hello, I am your right foot," the transparent body became real again - it turns out that absurdity is not a betrayal of reason, but the only way to reconcile with uncertainty. He went from refusing to accept Sizi's existence, to living in harmony with it, to helping others find balance.
