The whole world was dark, boundless darkness, Hugo only felt as if he had been thrown into outer space, the darkness in all directions was like a black hole, he floated in mid-air, his feet could not step on the ground, he tried to spread his limbs and could not feel any solid objects that could be touched, not even the fluttering of the air. The panic and fear that was completely out of control penetrated into the skin little by little along the pores, and only then did Hugo realize that his eyes were tightly closed, and the inky darkness did not even have any light.

Hugo struggled, trying to open his eyes, but the eyelids were so heavy, as if there was a lead block hanging on them, no matter what, there was no way to open them, which made Hugo a little anxious, he couldn't help but struggle, only to find that his limbs were actually tightly bound, the almost suffocating tightness stinged the heart, and then the muscles felt less and less powerful, and even the strength of the struggle was slowly weakening......

In an instant, he felt himself begin to fall rapidly, the feeling of weightlessness only lasted for a short time, and then he fell into the biting cold seawater, surrounded by darkness that was so thick that it could not be erased, but the suffocation sensation invaded little by little, and the air in his lungs was like small blisters, one after another punctured, as if it were ...... It's like watching yourself die.

"Bang", a dull cracking sound came in his mind, and then Hugo opened his eyes, and the faint light of milky yellow floated and swam in front of him like a halo of light, as if he suddenly saw a lanternfish floating slowly in the deep sea, and the faint light like a firefly made the whole world flicker, and he couldn't see it clearly.

Then there was a distant and faint voice in his ears, "John ......" was like a cry from above the water, Hugo wanted to raise his head, trying to see through the layers of water curtain to see the scene in front of him, but his head was so heavy that he couldn't lift it up at all, he could only hear the vague voice around him, "John, can you hear me?" ”

With the faint sound, the vision began to gradually become clearer, and the blue striped pants on a white background could be seen in front of me, which looked like hospital gowns, and then a pair of hands came into view, those hands were firmly bound by beige cotton handcuffs, lifeless and hanging between the knees, as if completely lost their vitality.

Hugo tried to control his hands, and then found that his fingers actually moved according to his will, which made Hugo's chaotic brain begin to be awakened, and fragmented memories slowly poured into his brain, even so slowly, it still made his brow wrinkle involuntarily in pain.

He was lecturing in a college classroom when he noticed a suspicious person in the corner, who had come to capture him; He was in the studio next to Princeton University, discussing with Ron Howard the position of the camera and the angle of his gaze; He was pressed to the ground by a group of men in black suits, and even though he tried his best to call for help, there were only students with surprised faces next to him, and no one was willing to come up to help him; He sat at the table at the door of the van, reading the script and talking to Leonardo, both of them with solemn expressions, as if they were arguing about something; He and Charles were talking, but just by turning his head, Charles suddenly disappeared, which filled him with doubts...... He quietly avoided the crowd and dropped the confidential information into a confidential mailbox; He felt the constant surveillance, as if someone had discovered that he was in politics. government decipherment of classified documents; He felt the danger looming little by little, and the anxiety almost made it impossible for him to calm down and continue his research......

Countless fragments of memories began to pour in, more and more, more and more mixed, and even began to appear many years ago, leaving only a vague impression, and the flashing moments were like countless tadpoles, quickly entering the brain with the flow of light.

However, in countless memories, there was no part of Charlize or part of Alicia, and the sense of uneasiness that hung in the air began to slowly expand. He stood in mid-air for just a moment when he closed his eyes, and then gravity grabbed his legs and dragged him down so hard that the whole world began to fall apart.

In the whole brain, half Hugo Lancaster, half John Nash. The two worlds are incomparably clear and incomparably distinct in his mind, just like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, clearly but inseparably connected, he seems to only need to take a slight step to enter another world, and then lift his steps again, and can retreat to the original world, between each step, the surrounding world is changing, every detail is so blurred but incomparably clear that the whole soul begins to tremble slightly.

This mysterious sensation had a slight tearing sensation, and the pain seemed to seep out of the crack in the stone, slowly falling in drop by drop, but it penetrated deep into the bone marrow and penetrated the soul, and the muscles of the whole body were completely tensed because of the pain; But his mind is out of a light and empty realm, so that he can easily and accurately grasp every subtle change in emotion, even if it is just a slight flicker of his eyes, it seems that there is no control but all the energy is consumed to control, free to do what he wants and at the same time accurate and natural.

It's like...... It's like dancing on the tip of a knife, the light and beautiful dance steps are perfect, and the pain that follows me stimulates the nerves on the top of my head through the soles of my feet, but there is no hesitation in the movements, and the natural beauty is suffocating.

Tired, he felt extremely tired, as if a drowning man had finally clung to a piece of driftwood, and he didn't even have time to think about his situation, so he could only breathe heavily; Fear, like waves, wave after wave, he didn't even know what he was afraid of, but the beating of his heart made his eardrums begin to vibrate gently, and he looked around in fear; Collapse, the tension of walking on a high-flying tightrope made him feel on the verge of collapse at any moment, as if a light breeze could tear the whole world apart and cease to exist.

"Bang dang", a crisp sound, made him open his eyes suddenly, the surging light stimulated his eyes, made him curl up, and then looked around through the hazy halo. A dark red carpet with intricate patterns, an old and rustic door, and a dark brown carved wooden chair...... Then he saw the radiator in the corner, and the sound just now came from the radiator, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and the tension seemed to be eased a little.

Then he saw an old man in a dark gray three-piece suit walk in front of his eyes, this is a completely unfamiliar face, his gaze can only stay on the other party's gray hair, he tried to focus on the other party's eyes, but found that the eyes are very sour, blinked several times in a row, still unable to focus on those deep eyes as he wants, but because the eyes are too dry and oozing tears, the vision that is not completely clear becomes blurred again.

"Try to relax." The old man said kindly with a gentle smile, "The anesthetic will not disappear in a while." ”

But he didn't understand, obviously every word had been heard clearly, but his brain was groggy but couldn't react at all, he just felt that those words were so unfamiliar, which made him close his eyes and shake his head fiercely, but this action made his stomach start rolling again, "vomit", he couldn't help retching, the whole person was staggering on the chair, cold sweat even oozed faintly on his forehead, and all the muscles on his body spasmed uncontrollably.

He only felt that the whole person was out of control, like a tattered doll without support, the saliva in his mouth slid down the corners of his lips, he felt the liquid slipping, the subconscious shame made him try to rein in his lips and control the saliva, but the lip flap was tightly only squirming twice, there was no response, and the saliva still slowly slid down, as if a patient who had lost his ability to take care of himself.

But that shame was only rampant in his mind, and there was no way for him to make any action to improve it, and the result was only a groggy and dazed shaking of his head, dangling in place like a mechanical doll with a broken clockwork.

Charlize stood behind the monitor, looking at Hugo who was performing, she knew it was the result of Hugo's performance, he was playing John Nash, but that powerful realism grabbed her heart so hard that she couldn't breathe at all. Even though she knew it was just a show, Charlize's vision was uncontrollably clouded with a layer of water, and she could hardly bear to continue watching; Even though she kept convincing herself that this was John Nash, not Hugo, and that this was John, not Hugo, the fear and panic still made her hands tremble uncontrollably.

The whole set was silent, the cold and cruel emotion made the heart completely stop beating, everyone's emotions were affected by Hugo's performance, no one was exempt. When he saw Hugo, or John, who was so muscular that he began to drool, he was like a fool whose soul had completely disappeared, and the indescribable fear and panic made his muscles tremble slightly.

Ron Howard couldn't help but want to pause the filming of the scene because he even began to worry about whether Hugo was really crazy; But he couldn't do that, because he kept convincing himself that this was just a show, that this was just the power of Hugo's show, but the panic in his heart was devouring all his reason, so that he couldn't help but stand up, and then stiffen in place.

Christopher standing in front of Hugo. Plummer could feel the powerful shock, almost suppressing him, but the emotions were involuntarily pulled, and the lines in his mind seemed to be out of control, and he involuntarily confided, "Sorry to cuff you, your right hook is really powerful." ”
