Chapter 9: A Whale Named Alice

In the bedroom, Lin Xiangnan snuggled alone in the quilt, closed the bed curtains, and entered his own small world.

Every time he thinks about something, he likes to lie alone in bed silently, although there is only a thin cloth that separates him from the world, but it can give him a rare sense of privacy.

"Thirteen, who are they, and why are they tracking down the beast? Is the beast that is causing panic near the university town really himself?"

Lin Xiangnan thought back and forth, and was completely confused.

To be honest, he always thought that he was an ordinary ordinary person, like a piece of sand on the beach, inconspicuous.

In the past, every day, although it was as plain as a glass of boiled water, it was very stable, going to the cinema alone, eating hot pot alone, lying on the bed and swiping the mobile phone alone, and listening to songs with headphones until late at night when a person was in a bad mood......

But now, the gears of fate began to move slowly, everything around him suddenly changed, several inexplicable people suddenly broke into his world, suddenly, he was not Lin Xiangnan, but was called a disaster beast, some people were injured because of him, some people were afraid of him, and some people even began to hunt him down.

"If the beast is really me, then what should I do?" Lin Xiangnan raised his head, looked at the bed board, and was silent.

Leaving the city and running away, apologizing to the victims, or being a good neighbor of Dongzhou City? To be honest, he really didn't know his answer.

"Are you going downstairs for dinner?" said the roommate on the top bunk suddenly.

"Let's go. ”

"Wait for me. ”

"Xiang Nan, are you going?"

The roommate on the top bunk didn't rush to open the bed curtains, and stood outside and asked cautiously.

"If he likes to go, ask him what he do?" said a dark-skinned roommate.

"That's it, how dashing he is!

"Alas, hasn't he always been alone, and won't help us?"

"Hahaha!"

The cold and harsh comments pierced his heart like a sharp knife.

"I just like to be alone, did I provoke you?" Lin Xiangnan roared in his heart.

Bang dang~

The door was slammed slammed shut, and he was the only one left in the room.

"Alas, not a single good thing ......" Lin Xiangnan sat up and silently lit a cigarette.

"Let's go out for a walk, maybe it will be better. ”

He got dressed and went downstairs alone.

Standing on the road, the whole street is full of people and cars.

Loss and confusion took over his heart at some point.

It's not that I like to be lonely, but I'm just alone all the time.

"Boy, did you know that there is a whale named Alice?" a voice sounded from beside him, like a lighthouse in the mist, insignificant, but able to light up the darkness.

Looking up, a man wearing a mask and sunglasses was standing beside him.

Although he couldn't see her face, Lin Xiangnan seemed to be able to feel that this person should be laughing.

And he smiled brightly.

"Haven't heard of it. ”

"This whale, Alice, chirps twice as often as a normal whale, sings in the deep sea and no one of its kind can hear it, and it goes unheeded when it is sad in the dark. ”

"Then it's pathetic. Lin Xiangnan blurted out.

"But eventually, another whale with the same chirp frequency was discovered, in other words, it wasn't a human anymore. ”

The two of them were chatting while walking down the street, and before they knew it, they came to a park.

"Do you think it will be happy?" The man with the mask found a bench and sat down with Lin Xiangnan.

"I don't know. ”

"I'm not a whale either, I don't know what it thinks, but I think it should be happy. ”

"Who are you?"

"Does it matter who I am?" said the masked man in a relaxed tone.

"yes, you don't know who I am. ”

"I've been having some trouble lately. I don't know why Lin Xiangnan actually opened up to strangers.

"Do you want to share it with me, a passerby?" asked the man with the mask in a surprised tone.

"Because you are a passerby, just like a big tree hole in the forest or a drifting bottle in the bay, after saying that, we will never meet again in this life, so I opened up to you. ”

"If I were your friend, you wouldn't be talking to me next, would you?"

“......”

"Your silence has answered me. ”

"I've been in some trouble lately, and it's something that could have changed my life. ”

"Oh?" said the man in the mask.

"I seem to be an outlier. ”

"No, no matter how strange the anomaly, you will definitely find the same kind, you just haven't encountered it. The man wearing the mask said, "I used to feel that I was an outlier, I felt that I was very dragged, and the people around me were all mentally retarded, and they didn't deserve to be friends with me at all, even if they were friends, they were just superficial friends, and none of them could make friends." ”

"And then?" Lin Xiangnan asked.

"Then I realized that I was the most mentally retarded person. The man wearing the mask burst out laughing.

"I'm always alone. ”

"Are you trying to say you're lonely? Anyone who talks about loneliness is a big fool, and I appreciate the way you put it tactfully. ”

“......”

"Loneliness should be a habit. The man wearing the mask said, "Compromise to fit in with the crowd and put on a mask? I don't know if it's right or wrong, but I know that as long as you wear a mask, your cheeks must be uncomfortable." ”

"Is it uncomfortable to wear a mask, or comfortable to walk alone, this is a question you and I must choose! Do you have the answer?"

"I don't know. ”

"Really, young man, I like you more and more. The man wearing the mask tilted his head, "Not knowing is the clearest answer in the world." ”

"So I'm still a wise man!"

"It should be a walker!"

"I'm not Wu Song. Lin Xiangnan smiled.

"What's wrong with Wu Song, he is affectionate and righteous, happy and revengeful, if I have the ability to fight tiger heroes, I will be like him. ”

"It's a pity I don't have as much courage as him. Lin Xiangnan said, "In the past, I always looked forward to being very dragged by, just like the rebellious teenagers in the second phase of secondary school, that is, the kind of people who are usually very cowardly, everyone steps on everyone and kicks me, and suddenly one day, a group of people bullied me, forced me into a corner and beat me violently, and suddenly grabbed their feet, and said coldly, you guys have enough to beat!" Then I stood up and knocked them out with three punches and two kicks with a simple move, and the last one stood on the street and looked at the neon lights of the city, and sighed that I was so awesome, and I would be able to let those who looked down on me all lie at their feet obediently. ”

"In that case, is that person still yourself?" asked the man wearing the mask.

"That's right, isn't that me, the fantasy is over, aren't I still a hard college student?"

"I understand. ”

"And recently, I encountered some situations, I found that I was a little different from others, don't laugh! It seems to be true, and then I was very confused, confused, you know, it's like a person who bought a lottery ticket and never won the lottery, he himself knows that he is not rich and noble, and suddenly one day he really won the lottery, the first prize is five million, but the winner knows what mood he was in when he won the lottery at the beginning, anyway, the first time is not excited. ”

"Then after the confusion after winning the lottery, shouldn't you be happy?"

"But the problem is that he doesn't have five million!" Lin Xiangnan became more and more excited the more he said, "Suppose the lottery he won is the prize that will make him go to Africa for the rest of his life, what do you think he should do?"

"It's because Africa is very poor, so I don't want to go!"

"The problem is not this, change one, go to Europe, the key is that he has lived in China for half his life, and suddenly let him change his life, who can stand this, and this lottery ticket is still born with him, and it is destined to have such a change. ”

"Born?"

"Yes to the natural!"

"You are the whale named Alice, when you were young, everyone couldn't sing, you lived with other whales, and when you grew up, you found that others couldn't understand the songs you sang, and they all left you, so you were very confused all of a sudden. Is that what it means?"

"It seems to be. ”

"Then let me ask you, if you are really Alice, do you cry that you are so lonely, and then wait for death alone in a small area of sea, or rush into the deep sea without hesitation, and swim all over the world from then on. ”

"I will choose to swim all over the world, even if I can't find a whale with the same frequency as me, I will leave my footprints in the four oceans, and finally die a tragic death in Drake Passage. ”

"So you've made your choice now. ”
