Chapter 1: Revelation
As night fell, the lights came on, and a joking class reunion came to an end.
At the door of a magnificently decorated and luxurious hotel, a large group of men and women giggled and laughed, hooking shoulders and backs, Wu Chen fell at the end, and heard someone say that he went to the sauna, and some people said that he went to the bar, and he only felt a headache.
As soon as he walked out of the hotel, the cold wind blew, the wine came up, and the laughter around him suddenly quacked like a thousand ducks in his ears, making him not want to stay longer for a second............
As soon as Wu Chen left, there were a few people like Wu Chen who were "overwhelmed by alcohol" and wanted to leave, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little cold, no need to look, these were definitely unsatisfactory guys who had been in the background all night.
In the current class reunion, the rich and powerful, and the people who are very proud of the mix are eager to hold a class reunion every day, while the more down-and-out people are afraid of meeting at the class reunion, not to mention being mentally devastated, and they also want to be used as a comparison prop for proud classmates to show off their wealth, so the taste is sweet and sour, not to mention......
Just like Wu Chen, when he was on campus, he was proud, handsome, and well-known, and he really received a lot of "spinach in autumn" from the spring girl, and then look at it now, thirty has passed, nothing has been accomplished, no house, no car, no wife, no deposit, and the pig-killing knife of the years has destroyed the original heroic figure and handsome appearance......
weighs one hundred and eighty-eight, has a three-layer chin, a thick neck, a general's belly, full of vicissitudes, shortness of breath and timidity......
It is conceivable that he endured the attention and suffering at the dinner just now.
It was not a class reunion, it was an exclamation meeting, a sympathy meeting, a critique meeting of self-torture!
Anyway, he's finally escaped now.
In the taxi, away from those smug, sympathetic, and inquiring complex sights, Wu Chen's strong spirit relaxed, and he smirked all night, the muscles of his face were a little stiff, he rubbed his face fiercely, and finally smoothed out the stiff smile, followed by another burst of nausea and discomfort, covered his mouth and retched a few times, the taxi driver turned his head in fright, and glared at him several times as if warning.
"Where are you going?"
The driver asked.
"The ...... of the Sixth Cotton Spinning Community"
Wu Chen replied lazily.
His head rested on the window, his drunken eyes staring out the window in confusion.
The wanton chic of youth seems to have happened yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, it is one heaven and one earth......
Well, don't talk about it.
The taxi drove all the way to an old city in Xiangcheng City, rows of old buildings from the seventies and eighties of the last century came to the face, and the construction sites that could be seen everywhere were half-demolished buildings and construction waste, and an invisible boundary abruptly separated the splendid from the old and decayed.
The contrast is so strong, it seems to imply that Wu Chen, at this time, he is like this building complex that is about to be eliminated, he has not made an inch for so many years, and most people and things, including this city, have thrown off their arms and made great strides forward for a long time, a long time......
After getting out of the taxi and skirting a construction site, he walked into a dark, narrow alley.
I don't know if the street lights have broken or have been cut off from electricity, the shops on both sides have either moved away or have been closed, and pedestrians are even more scarce, and the environment and atmosphere are quite like a horror movie.
Another cool breeze blew, Wu Chen's stomach was turned upside down, and his headache was cracking, so he hurriedly held on to a telephone pole and retched.
On the ground, the fluorescence from the cracks of several pebbles attracted his attention, he squatted down and pulled twice, a fist-sized, irregular translucent "stone" emitted a misty halo in the dim environment, it was very eye-catching, Wu Chen picked it up curiously, and took it to his eyes to look at it......
The touch is warm, smooth and delicate, and the weight is very light......
After watching it for a while, he lost interest, Wu Chen casually stuffed it into the pocket of his suit, staggered out of this alley against the wall, and returned to his home in a hurry.
The top floor of the fifth floor, one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, more than 40 square meters, a kitchen with a balcony, 400 oceans a month is his home in this city, a single dog, how the environment is not to say that everyone knows, and the messy and the outside construction site has a fight.
Ding Ding walked to the bedroom, regardless of the disregard of the bed fell on, sleepy but not sleepy, but the body twisted left and right very uncomfortable, he muttered from the jacket pocket of the suit to take out the stone that he picked up outside, and put it in front of him in a daze......
Originally, the tentacles were warm, but now they have become very cool, and the translucent texture has now become gray and inconspicuous, and there is no fluorescent scattering, just like an ordinary stone, but this coolness makes him feel hot and dry at this time, Wu Chen casually put it on his forehead, and with a comfortable ** sound, his eyes were closed, and he soon lost consciousness......
In the hazy, sleep-like state, Wu Chen only felt very weird, there was no drunken heartbeat, chest tightness and shortness of breath, but there was a sense of stall falling from a high altitude, there seemed to be a huge suction force under his body that pulled him to fall down, the time was getting longer and faster, and the speed was getting faster and faster, when this feeling was strong to a point, "boom~~" After that, there was silence, he only felt that his whole body was light, as if he had taken off a thousand pounds of heavy burden, as if he had jumped out of a heavy cage, the feeling of falling at high speed disappeared, and a fluttering ease made him keep rising, rising......
I don't know how long this dazed ascent lasted, until he felt a clear touch of a boundary, and after a brief pause, he seemed to jump out of the water, and from one world to another......
The sound of the wind, the sound of the water, I don't know how many people are breathing heavily and nervously......
A strange and ethereal voice came from the distant sky, a change of language and tone that had never been heard before......
"This dream is really strange......"
As soon as such a thought flashed through his consciousness, a huge attraction pulled him out of his fluttering state from below, and the world whirled, and he felt like he was stuffed into a heavy cage again, and it was like being put on a thick "clothing", these uncomfortable feelings were fleeting, and soon, he felt his body and limbs again, and the strange language and tone of speech became loud in his ears, and even the skin on his face felt the air flow from the other party's spitting......
"Don't make noise~~"
Wu Chen waved his hand and barely opened his eyes......
“…… Figo, Figo, wake up, stand up, Lord Lord will hang you, I promise!".
