Chapter 8: The Smell of Death

Darkness, endless darkness, is this death?

Xu Jun suddenly found that he still had consciousness, and he could still think. Is this what it feels like to die? Have you become a soul yourself? Why don't you have angels with snow-white wings or flaming demons to lure you to heaven or hell, as others say? There was only boundless darkness around me, and I couldn't see or feel anything. Everything but the thought of oneself seemed to be frozen, frozen in this endless darkness.

Is this the eternal sleep that the Egyptians spoke of? But are you awake again? Xu Jun was puzzled by his current situation.

I don't know how long it took, but after countless failed attempts to feel the darkness around him, he finally resigned himself to his fate. Xu Jun began to think back to his days and nights in the past 24 years, thinking of his parents, relatives, friends, classmates, and all the people who were related to him. Think of all the fun or boring things you've done. I think of my ambition and vision for my future, my home, my room, my computer, my favorite books. Everything he loved flashed in front of Xu Jun's eyes.

Is this a feeling of remorse? Xu Jun didn't know. He only knows that it is really like what others say, everything is only precious after it is lost, and now he has deeply understood the meaning of this sentence, and he really regrets it. Xu Jun was so sad that he found that he was now deprived of even the ability to cry. He could only wail in the depths of his soul, regretting his naivety and arrogance, scolding himself for his indecision and softness. I hope that my parents can forgive me for my unfilial piety. Cursing the curator for his deception and the strange "submarine" where he died (he still can't figure out what happened at that time, what he bumped into was, Xu Jun, who was confused and confused, was very unwilling).

In the end, the desperate Xu Jun began to beg the heavens in the dark: "If the heavens have mercy on me Xu Jun, please give me another chance, I swear that I will cherish everything I feel." If God has mercy on me Xu Jun, please give me another life, I swear that I am willing to do all my strength to make this life brilliant and brilliant, and will not let life be wasted. If God has mercy on me, please fulfill my wishes, I vow never to make the same mistake again, I will abandon cowardice and naivety, greed and arrogance, overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and face my life strongly. ”

Xu Jun kept begging for heaven, hoping to get out of his current situation and return to the world. Suddenly, Xu Jun realized that his desire might have worked. Because, in the endless darkness, he saw a point of light like a glowing firefly emerge in front of him. At first, it was a small point of light, and Xu Jun tried hard to see it clearly, but after a while, he realized that the point of light was not what he saw with his eyes, and the image of the point of light was directly reflected in his mind.

"Is it a hallucination of the brain?" Xu Jun was disappointed. But gradually, those points of light began to flash out like stars, and the increasing speed was almost like an explosion. The points of light converged around him into a sea of stars, radiating a colorful brilliance. The points of light began to revolve around him in Xu Jun's mind, and the speed became faster and faster, until finally the fast-moving points of light were simply connected into long lines. Xu Jun felt a little dizzy, he found that he couldn't control the light points that were spinning in his mind, and he felt that he was about to be driven crazy by the high-speed moving images. Just when Xu Jun felt that he was about to lose consciousness, all the points of light suddenly disappeared, and with it was the familiar darkness again.

But when Xu Jun hadn't recovered from the dizziness in front of him, the next feeling made him feel like he had been hit on the head, and he felt as if he heard the sound of talking. At first, Xu Jun still suspected that this was his hallucination, because the voice was so soft and faint that he couldn't hear what it was, as if someone was whispering in an empty hall far away from him. But after a while, Xu Jun was sure that it was not an illusion, because the sound was getting louder and clearer, the sound of several people arguing, the crisp tapping of metal, the footsteps of someone walking around, and various other familiar and unfamiliar sounds.

Xu Jun felt that his brain was about to explode with excitement, it was the voice of the world, the heavens heard his request, and he returned to the world.
