PeachHeiHei's Out-of-Place Login
PeachHeiHei, an ordinary office worker, lives a life as precise as a machine, going to and from work, eating, sleeping, and scrolling through his phone. Recently, he noticed frequent out-of-place login notifications on his account. Initially, he thought his password had been leaked, changed his password, and bound his phone number for verification, but the issue persisted.
"Who's still eyeing my crappy account these days?" he mocked himself. After all, besides forwarding company links, his WeChat moments were occasionally one or two photos of his cat.
Until one day, he received a private message from "PeachHeiHei," which read: "Hello, it's me, I'm on Mars."
PeachHeiHei's first reaction was, who's so bored? A prank? Or some new type of scam? He tried replying, "What are you talking about? I'm PeachHeiHei."
The other party replied instantly: "No, you're not. You're PeachHeiHei on Earth, and I'm PeachHeiHei on Mars. There's some kind of quantum entanglement between us, so my consciousness can use your account to log in."
PeachHeiHei rubbed his temples, feeling his brain wasn't processing well. This must be some new scam from a tech company, right? He decided to ignore it.
Over the next few days, he frequently received various messages from "Martian PeachHeiHei."
"Earth coffee is too bitter, Martian gravel coffee is the real deal!"
"The sunset on Mars today is beautiful. What about your sunsets on Earth? Are they all the same?"
"Let me tell you a secret, the soil on Mars can grow ice cream of all colors, much better than the chemical synthetics you have on Earth!"
"Oh, and by the way, I've founded an interstellar express company on Mars. Earthlings might consider investing."
PeachHeiHei started to find it interesting, even with a touch of curiosity. He began to chat with "Martian PeachHeiHei," asking questions about Mars.
"Do you guys work overtime on Mars too?" PeachHeiHei asked.
"Overtime? Doesn't exist. We all have autonomous consciousness, we choose our own work, and can strike whenever we're not satisfied," "Martian PeachHeiHei" replied.
"Then what about your leaders? Are they like our leaders on Earth, just making empty promises every day?"
"We don't have leaders, only managers. They're responsible for solving problems, not creating them."
"Then...are your housing prices high?" PeachHeiHei asked cautiously.
"Houses? We don't need them, we live in the vastness of space."
Deep down, a numb string within PeachHeiHei seemed to have been plucked. He started to wonder, what was he working so hard for every day? Was it just for the 996, for a meaningless KPI?
"I want to go to Mars," PeachHeiHei suddenly said to "Martian PeachHeiHei."
"You're welcome, but you need to first break the quantum entanglement between you and Earth, which means... giving up your account."
"What do you mean?"
"It means you have to give up your current 'PeachHeiHei' identity. The PeachHeiHei on Earth will completely disappear from the online world."
PeachHeiHei was stunned. This account represented all his social relationships, all his online identities. Giving it up would be like giving up his existence on Earth.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally, he clicked the "Delete Account" button hard.
The screen went blank, and he felt like he was floating in the universe, having lost all his anchors. He looked around, and it was still the familiar cubicle, the familiar computer screen, the familiar colleagues. Nothing had changed. He picked up his coffee on the desk, but it tasted incredibly bitter.
Suddenly, his phone lit up. A new private message appeared, the sender: Martian Immigration Bureau.
"Hello, PeachHeiHei. Due to the excessively strong quantum entanglement, we are temporarily unable to transfer you to Mars. For your safety, we have applied for new identity information for you on Earth. To avoid confusion, your original account has been completely deleted. Please create a new account and bind a new phone number."
PeachHeiHei looked at his phone screen, a wry smile forming on his lips. He created a new account, named: PeachBaiBai.
