Volume 1: The Thief of the Hook Chapter 1: Past and Present Lives (1)
Words written in front: On the second day of the first lunar month of 2020, the sky in my hometown was covered with snowflakes sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, and it was a book shortage in the middle of hesitation, and I couldn't suppress the thoughts that I had been floating in my mind and the snowflakes outside kept falling, so I decided to write some illusions in my mind to make up for the momentary shock.
In a scientific research laboratory in the East China Sea, the long corridor high heels rubbed against the ground and made a "da-da" sound, a voice in a white coat walked over, with a mask on the face of a pair of black eyes, revealing excitement, the footsteps are also fast tied to the back of the head of the ponytail with the pace jumped and jumped, came to the door with his hand swept the forehead slightly messy hair, opened the door, a back shadow appeared into view, about 1.75 meters tall, wearing a casual suit on the upper body, black pants on the lower body, board inch, was about to speak, the back turned around, Very ordinary face pursed his lips and nodded, his eyes looked at the figure that came in, and the work card on the chest of the figure was distracted, Sun Miao walked aside with some displeasure and took off his mask, picked up the folder on the desktop and looked at it for a moment, "Hello Mr. Xu, I am Sun Miao's researcher and your person in charge of this project," "Well, I see." Xu Ming stared at Sun Miao's face and said, Sun Miao squinted at Xu Ming, "I still look like your old man with flowers on my face" The cold tone made Xu Ming come back to his senses, pulled out the chair and sat down with the corners of his mouth, staring at the table without saying a word.
"Once again, I declare that this test is life-threatening, and is Mr. Xu sure he wants to participate?" Xu Ming looked up at the window, although he couldn't see anything through the glass, he left the seat with his left hand in his pocket, his right hand clenched into a fist, gently rubbed the bridge of his nose with his thumb knuckles, blocked his nostrils with his thumb joints, and took a deep breath and looked at himself on the glass, this face is ordinary but still in the crowd, it is estimated that he can't find it, staring at the eyes reflected in the glass, put down his right hand, inserted it into his pocket, clenched his fist, turned around and said
"Yes, it's dangerous, but you can experience a different life, right?" "Well, please wait a while, Mr. Xu, we will give you a comprehensive examination after signing, and if you have any other requirements, please mention it." Xu Ming showed a habitual smile, "What's the future, I don't have to worry about it, when is it best to start the experiment as soon as possible, I'm afraid that I'm not firm myself, after all, there is only one life, isn't it?" ”
Sun Miao turned white, and Xu Ming took a look at the information about Xu Ming in his hand:
Xu Mingnan, 32 years old, born in China, unmarried, his parents died, a sales figure of a listed company, timid and cowardly......
Xu Ming looked at Sun Miao, "Don't look at the information from two years ago, I haven't been out for a long time," took out a cigarette case from his pocket and smoked a cigarette, Sun Miao frowned, "Smoking is not allowed here," Xu Ming grinned and pointed to the walls around him with a cigarette, "Where is it written that smoking is prohibited, and it is not too much to meet the small requirements for volunteers!" ”
At this time, the door opened, and an old man with gray hair came in and said to Sun Miao, "Miao Miao, you go and arrange the inspection first," Sun Miao turned white again, Xu Ming stared at the cigarette in Xu Ming's hand, turned around angrily, and looked at the old man Zou Mei before bringing the door as if warning, the old man smiled awkwardly, pushed his glasses with thick lenses, and stretched out his hand, "Hello Mr. Xu, I am Qin Yuan from the Donghai Institute of Science and Technology, fortunately" Xu Ming politely stretched out his hand and shook it, and handed the cigarette to his mouth, "Don't mind," "If you give me one, too, I don't mind. The two looked at each other and smiled.
Xu Ming lit a cigarette neatly, and the two sat down to smoke without anyone speaking. Quietly swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, Xu Ming took a sharp breath and spit out a long smoke, as if he spit out endless melancholy, and then his tightly knit brows stretched, "Very pleasant" Qin Yuan looked at Xu Ming and a word appeared in his heart, this is a young man with a story, "cough" Qin Yuan coughed and planned to speak first to ease the atmosphere, Xu Ming took one last puff, took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and slammed it on the table a few times, "It was Dr. Wang who introduced me, we met in extreme skydiving, and then I participated in his human vaccine trial." I heard that you were looking for volunteers, so I came. Light a cigarette and look at Qin Yuan with a smile. Hehe, you said Wang Nianguo, he is a student I used to take, tell me why you want to participate in our project experiment, after all, we can't rule out the danger of life and there is no paid return"
"I didn't come here for anything in return, I'm just tired of living and want to change my life, I heard that you are studying quantum microscopic experiments here, and I heard that there are a lot of interesting things, I can't wait" Xu Ming puffed out a cigarette and seemed a little excited. Qin Yuan paused, "The universe we live in is currently known to include eleven dimensions, and when we live in three-dimensional space, other dimensions will naturally be squeezed and compressed, so that they can only curl up into a ball, they are bent into a curve around each other, in the known macrocosm we can't see or touch, but through the study of the microcosm of the world, we can enter these dimensions in other ways, this is the purpose of this experiment, there needs to be someone to see these worlds, This could change the future of humanity. After speaking, he stood up and waved his hand with some excitement.
Xu Ming smoked a cigarette and looked at Qin Yuan, who was about to dance, gray hair, heavy glasses, still smoking without speaking, Qin Yuan retracted his hand and sat down to calm down his excitement, Xu Ming thought for a while and said, "Isn't this what Buddhism often says about a flower and a world, a leaf and a Bodhi," "No, no, no, the meaning is similar, but you can also understand it this way, in reality, I have confirmed after years of research that if we go to a farther place or even directly to an unknown place through these dimensions," "Uh, That means I can bask in the sun on the pyramid in the morning and have breakfast with the president of country M at the White House in a moment? "Yes, it's totally possible, we can even go to Mars then, but this is only one of the research directions," Xu Ming opened his mouth, "So what do you need me to do?" Qin Yuan rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "What I am talking about next is the secret of the institute, according to theoretical calculations, we have found a channel to the multi-dimensional world within the known coordinates, which can reach another world, and more than one we can see through the detector, in a grain of sand or even a cell, what we find is not just a world, I have deduced that it may be a plane, as if touching the realm of God, do you know what this means?" Xu Ming said disdainfully: "So small cells, how did your detector enter?" "We can shrink through quantum transmission recombination, we have tried to shrink animals, we can also do humans, and now we want to break down barriers through human transmission to another plane."
"Well, that sounds really interesting, when is that going to start?" Xu Ming thought thoughtfully, "Don't rush first, let's collect data first, and then make a plan for the next step, from today onwards, you will live in the research institute, and I will arrange it if needed." ”
Xu Ming stayed at the institute for four days, and then was taken on a warship, sailed at sea for half a day, and then boarded a submarine at a military base on an island and sailed into the depths of the ocean...... Xu Ming was very depressed, but fortunately, Qin Yuan and Sun Miao were also together, accompanied by beautiful women, but it was okay, Xu Ming then went to a research institute deep under the sea, worthy of the East China Sea Research Institute, and it was actually in the sea.
Everything is ready, the space in the laboratory is full of equipment, Xu Ming is lying on the platform in the middle, next to a long oval cabin black hole facing him, Xu Ming retracted his gaze a little unnaturally and looked at the wire harness that was pasted on his body from all kinds of instruments, Qin Yuan, who was standing on the high platform, looked very eager, and when Xu Ming, who was wrapped in wires below, was slowly pushed into the cabin, he couldn't wait to reach out and press the start button, and there was a clear "cough" behind him, Sun Miao looked over silently, There is also a eagerness to try in his eyes, "all units are ready" With the report of the staff, Qin Yuan took a step back, Miao Miao came to us and pressed it together, this is our hard work in the past 10 years, come to us together" After speaking, there were some excited tears in the corners of his eyes, Sun Miao nodded and was also very excited How many days and nights of hard work are finally about to see the results, countdown "5...4...3...2...1..."
At this moment, Xu Ming, who was in the cabin, felt a very bright light surrounding him, and at this time, he thought of the past thirty years, and thought of the family, friendship, and love in his heart over the years, and it seemed that a figure in his eyes was becoming clearer and clearer......
At this moment, Xu Ming, who was in the cabin, felt a very bright light surrounding him, and at this time, he thought of the past thirty years, and thought of the family, friendship, and love in his heart over the years, and it seemed that a figure in his eyes was becoming clearer and clearer......
After graduating that summer, Xu Ming also joined a member of the unemployed army, and it was very difficult to find a good job in this graduation season when he was full of undergraduates and many junior colleges, and his mother died of cancer when he was fourteen years old, and then his father also died after graduating from high school a few years later, and he was also disgusted in the eyes of relatives. In order to survive and work to support himself, he finally mixed up a degree, it is really not easy, in the eyes of classmates often do not see people, in the eyes of the teacher is not a serious job he is actually not good, maybe the talent is insufficient, often see other work-study children are good examples of character and learning, it is his turn to only survive and barely pass the re-examination, the computer major at this time in addition to selling computers and digital products can be a little useful in fact, nothing else, I can repair a computer or something, and now there are many digital cities and other things that repair computers.
Maybe it's the creation of people, in order to survive basically did everything, now it's a college student, after graduation, I still go to the Internet café near the university as a network manager, although I have been in it for more than three years, I can get 1500 yuan a month, now of course, the salary has been raised, 2000 Meizizi Bao is better than before, you can go to the day shift, Xu Ming touched the slightly bald forehead, stayed up all night and hurt the kidneys, the main thing is that the hair loss is very melancholy. The newly renovated Internet café is called an Internet café, in fact, Xu Ming can have a better choice, the reason for staying in this Internet café is that he fell in love with the boss's sister-in-law, Lin Shuangshuang often comes here to surf the Internet and occasionally makes a cameo appearance as a cashier, which happens to be the graduation of this year, the boss funded the opening of a milk tea shop next to the newly renovated Internet café, the relationship between the two is very good, Xu Ming likes this girl who laughs and brings sunshine, Lin Shuangshuang is not tall, with a ponytail and a slender figure, very similar to a certain Bay actress with a smile and two dimples, In the end, the two were not together, and Xu Ming became Lin Shuangshuang's male best friend, but unfortunately, Xu Ming's longing for love finally turned into a strong resentment.
Just when Xu Ming, who was further preparing to start, was stunned. Lin Shuangshuang is in love, that sunny tall and handsome boy, Xu Ming has seen it, his family background is very good, he is in his senior year at a certain university of science and technology in the university town, and his parents are engaged in logistics in the city, and there are many properties in the city, which are all learned by people who come to the Internet together.
Maybe it's best to find someone who likes each other, Xu Ming thought in his heart, but soon Xu Ming still thought very simply, Lin Shuangshuang found him and said that the boy was going to go abroad after graduation, Lin Shuangshuang cried very sad that day, and then the more terrible thing came that she was pregnant, and went to talk to the boy's parents, for the sake of the child's future, she didn't agree with them to be together, and finally forced Lin Shuangshuang to have a baby, Xu Ming was very angry and beat the boy, and then Lin Shuangshuang secretly went to have a baby, and later reconciled with the boy, The boy told her to wait for him to come back.
Xu Ming was disheartened, quit his job as a network administrator, drank a lot on the night he left, and Xu Ming, who had not cried in helplessness for so many years, cried, and finally confessed to Lin Shuangshuang through wine, Xu Ming still remembered that day Lin Shuangshuang said to him, "If you don't marry after three years, I won't marry, and we will be together." With regret and expectation, Xu Ming went to the next stop.
Xu Ming went to a listed company as a salesman, during this period, in addition to occasional contact, with the frequent business trips, the contact gradually disappeared, through hard work to become the regional sales leader, in the blink of an eye to three years, Xu Ming has never forgotten, when he went to look for it again, it is a pity that it is already a thing, the owner of the Internet café went to Macau, and most of the storylines, the family went bankrupt, and the Internet café was also given to someone else, and the milk tea shop was gone, and the two met again It was also very dramatic Xu Ming thought that he would come to open a card to go online, but he didn't expect the cashier to be Lin Shuangshuang.
He said, "I'm here to exchange promises with you, I don't know if the time allows, whether you can still accept it" She smiled, she was really happy, and it could be seen from the tears in the corners of her eyes that this may be the happiest thing in recent years, "I'm sorry, he's back" Maybe this is not the happiest, Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, "Then I bless you," lowered his head and was silent, "I still have some things to do after a long time on a business trip, so next time we have time to get together together" Lin Shuangshuang didn't speak and nodded, and then Xu Ming turned around and walked out of the Internet café, Lin Shuangshuang wanted to speak, Looking at the back of the departing clenched hands finally put down, lowering her head may be a little guilty, at this time someone came to open a card on the Internet, interrupting her thoughts, exhaled deeply and buried her head into work.
Out of the Internet café and walked to the side of the road, Xu Ming thought about reaching out and giving himself a mouthful, "Xu Ming, you are really fucking cheap", the passers-by were pointed at by his move, Xu Ming didn't care, slowly walked to the side of the car, felt the cigarette in his pocket, leaned on the car and looked in the direction of the Internet café and smoked, maybe I shouldn't just go like this, he thought to himself, he flicked off the third cigarette butt and was about to work hard again, he was stunned, and a pair of figures came out of the Internet café to stimulate him, Xu Ming, Xu Ming, you are really cheap, still thinking about it, open the car door and light it and step on the clutch, Didn't stay any longer.
