Chapter 8: Seven Stars and Six Appearances
Xia Yige woke up groggily again, looking out the window at the mountain peak with hazy eyes. A few rare goshawks wandered among the peaks shrouded in a faint mist, and from time to time they let out loud calls, as if they were kings proudly in the sky.
The bell rang as always, ancient and majestic, with a kind of solemnity, drifting among these peaks for a long time.
This is the seventh day that Xia Yige has been imprisoned here. Although someone would come on time every day to deliver the food, and the food was delicious enough, Xia Yige had completely lost his freedom.
In the past seven days, no one has said a word to him, which makes Xia Yige feel a little bored. However, this kind of loneliness has long been accustomed to him, because since his parents left, Xia Yige has been alone in everything, so in the past three years of life, he has become accustomed to being alone like this. It seems that there is no restraint, but it is also idle.
In those days, he didn't have many friends and didn't talk to his peers. The only intersection with classmates is to occasionally go to an Internet café to play games. Most of the time, Xia Yige is silent, but he can always dominate the game in the game. However, he did not feel the slightest sense of accomplishment in his achievements.
I don't know why, in so many solitary nights, Xia Yige is like a robot that never gets tired, doing laundry, cooking, and cleaning in an orderly manner. After finishing those daily chores, even though it was still early, he would still lie quietly in bed, let himself think about some messy things, or simply not think about anything, just lie there, let sleepiness pull him into a coma.
Xia Yige didn't know why he did that, but he spent three years like that. People who play games with him often joke that Xia Shen, you are our king, with your expressionless signature posture, where to stand, where is our world haha!
However, in those three years, he had a lot of living expenses left by his parents, enough freedom, excellent grades despite not attending classes, a game level that was enough to be proud of the others, and compliments and admiration from his classmates............ He has everything his peers are striving for or forced to pursue, but for some reason, he just doesn't feel anything. It's as if everything you have is taken for granted, and what you don't have will be your own sooner or later......
Xia Yige couldn't figure out these things anyway, and he didn't quite hope that he could figure it out. It is often said that human mind manipulation is in turn a restriction of mental ...... But Xia Yige's situation seems to be that the spirit has exceeded the limit of what ** can bear, but then it loses the universal human beings who satisfy and expand the spiritual aspect through the substantial development of the **.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he has no desires, because he really does not know what he should do, or what he can do.
If it weren't for the encounter between Situ Xingxuan and Lin Yuwei in that Internet café, and if it weren't for the necklace that lurked in the depths of his memory, Xia Yige would have continued to live aimlessly like this...... Until this body dies, then his empty soul can be dispersed.
But on that night, on the Mercedes-Benz that drove to the future, Xia Yige held the necklace that his mother had carried, and he seemed to have finally found the motivation to start working hard and found the direction of his life. The blood in his body, which had been dormant for three years, finally began to boil.
The sound of knocking on the window interrupted Xia Yige's thoughts, and someone came to deliver breakfast again. Xia Yige recovered from that rambling meditation.
Alas, the old mistake has been made again, what are you thinking? Xia Yige smiled self-deprecatingly. But he was so bored that he was trapped here for a few days, and he could only think like this.
Speaking of that necklace...... Xia Yige carefully took out the mother's necklace from his underwear pocket, put it on his face for a moment, and then slowly took it off. Once again, his mother's face came to his mind.
Xia Yige glanced at the necklace and was about to put it back in his pocket, but as if he remembered something, his movements suddenly froze.
This necklace ...... This pattern...... He seems to have seen it somewhere!
This is...... In that strange hallucination seven days ago...... The last pattern that appeared!
No, there's something wrong. Xia Yige carefully looked at the six-pointed star pattern on the necklace. The pattern was very similar to the one he saw in his hallucination, but not identical.
It seems like...... Something seems to be missing!
Xia Yige's eyes suddenly widened - what about the seventh point of light?
