Chapter 1 The Poet

Next Chapter

Ning Fei died.

He stood in the morgue, quietly looking at his body. He doesn't want to die, he's still young, he's successful in his career, he has a beautiful girlfriend who loves him, he has parents who have cared for him since he was a child, he's a real winner in life.

But he got cancer, an incurable cancer, and after three months in the hospital, he finally died.

Black Impermanence stood beside him, smiling weirdly. "From now on, you have to make a choice."

"Before that, do you want to see what your relatives and friends will be like when you die?"

The black impermanence seemed to have a bit of mockery.

Ning Fei was silent, he was already dead, even if he was so eager to live, but he was still dead.

Hei Wuchang smiled and waved his big hand, letting Ning Fei look at this world that no longer had him.

He saw his parents smiling, and his mother said with a smile on her face, "We can finally have a good meal tonight." ”

He saw his brothers greeting each other, and the WeChat text was as always: "Come out for a drink at night and get together!" ”

He saw his beautiful girlfriend being held by his boss and walking to the hotel room.

He saw that the owner of the bar, who had always called him a brother, casually threw the liquor he had deposited in the bar to a homeless man.

"What do you see?" Black Impermanence looked at him, as if expecting his answer.

"I saw a couple starting a new life."

"I saw the girl I liked find her happiness again."

"I saw a group of close friends who were talking."

"I saw a kind boss pour a glass of liquor for a homeless man."

"Hahaha." Black Impermanence laughed, it seemed that he hadn't encountered such an interesting thing in a long time. "Are you kidding yourself?"

Ning Fei was silent, raised his head, but said, "I'm already dead, so what." ”

The expression on Hei Wuchang's face began to be hideous, and he roared: "Can't you see, how happy they are in the world without you, these are all facts, all facts!" ”

Ning Fei didn't say anything more, his heart was already dead.

A white light flashed, and Bai Impermanence's ethereal voice sounded: "You are misleading others again." ”

Hei Wuchang turned his head disdainfully, "The world is like this, only cold and ruthless are the most real. ”

Bai Wuchang came to Ning Fei's right and said to him gently, "Do you still want to see it?" ”

Something touched Ning Fei's heart.

Bai Wuchang smiled slightly and waved his hand.

He saw that his parents had each taken a bottle of sleeping pills, and the old man was smiling quietly and quietly, hugging each other and lying on the bed. His mother muttered, "Fei'er, wait for us." ”

He saw that his brothers were drinking beer in the private room, hugging their heads and crying, and the crying alarmed the whole restaurant, and the manager had already come in, but he could not persuade these men to cry bitterly.

He saw his girlfriend crying in front of the mirror in the toilet, "There is still 10,000 yuan left in the medical bill, I have to do this." ”

He saw that the barkeeper had opened a new bottle of his favorite drink, went to the side of the road, poured a glass for the beggar, poured another glass for himself, took a sip of the wine, and said to the beggar sadly: "You look like a friend of mine, but he hasn't been here for a long time." ”

"See?" Bai Wuchang was very gentle, with a gentle smile on his face, as if all the scenes that had just happened were as plain as water, and he couldn't arouse a little wave in her heart.

Ning Fei was very calm, he didn't dare to move, for fear that he would break the thin layer of separation in his heart and let his sadness pour out.

"You now have two options. Choose black impermanence, your soul will go to the underworld with him to reincarnate, everything you leave in this world will be remembered, and these relatives and friends of yours will also develop according to this plot. ”

"Choose me, you will have a new identity, but you will be forgotten by the whole world, this world no longer has traces of you, you are like this world does not exist. And your parents and friends can still live well in this world. ”

"I'm dead, why is there such a choice?" Ning Fei asked.

"Because you have a 'pure heart' that is rare to see in a thousand years, according to the rules of the underworld, you are qualified to become a member of the underworld." Bai Wuchang said gently.

Ning Fei hesitated, he thought of everything he had done in his life, and gradually made a decision in his heart.

"Have you figured it out? The creation of spirits after human death is a very unlikely event, and you are very lucky. Bai Wuchang had been observing Ning Fei and said softly.

Black Impermanence still had a mocking smile on his face.

Ning Fei shook his head, "I refuse, I don't want to go to the underworld for reincarnation, nor do I want the world to forget me." I chose to die like this. ”

He looked at his corpse and didn't want to say anything more.

"Hahaha, your deceptive skills are not very good." Black impermanence mocked Bai impermanence, "For the sake of performance, you really made up any reason." ”

Bai Wuchang's complexion had changed, she glared at Hei Wuchang, and then said to Ning Fei hatefully, "Are you sure? In another hour, your soul will be gone, and you will disappear from this world completely. ”

"It's my choice." There was a bitter smile on the corner of Ning Fei's mouth.

"You!" Bai Wuchang obviously didn't expect Ning Fei to make such a choice, she stomped her little foot angrily, turned into white light and left.

Hei Wuchang laughed all over his face, "It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting spirit, hahahaha, interesting." It's a good thing you didn't choose that old woman, otherwise you would have become the lowest-ranking underworld in Hades, doing those drudgeries every day, not even as good as a dog. ”

"It's better to go to reincarnation with me, that is, to suffer from ten years of flesh and skin, and when the time comes, I will drink Meng Po soup and jump into the spring of rebirth, and I won't remember anything. Eighteen years later, he is a good man again. How is it? ”

"I want to be quiet!"

Hei Wuchang nodded, shook his head again, and smiled strangely, "Hahahaha, the soul body of the heart of a child, but he is unwilling to choose to be reborn after suffering, and is willing to choose to dissipate in the heavens and the earth. ”

After saying that, the black impermanence also disappeared.

Reborn? It is nothing more than forgetting everything that was, or being forgotten by everything that was.

Ning Fei looked indifferently at the corpse lying in the morgue, it was his own body.

I used to be so eager to live, I prayed every day, I endured pain every day and faced life with a smile, but what did I get?

Only tears, disappointment, and sadness.

Just dissipate like that.

He left the morgue, his head bowed, and walked in the bustling night. The city is bustling with lights, and countless restless people wander the streets like puppets at night.

He walked like this, with his head down, looking at the ground, and his expression was downcast. He seemed to be slowly moving air, pedestrians passed through his body as if nothing was there, and occasionally a few puppies barked at him, only to be pulled away by the leash of his master.

In another hour, he's going to be completely dissipated.

Just leave like that, these days, he has too much to carry.

His mind went blank, he didn't know what he was thinking, he just wanted to walk through the world again before he died.

"Boom!"

Ning Fei was stunned, he bumped into someone.

Countless pedestrians had already passed through his body, but the man in front of him had collided with him.

Ning Fei looked up in disbelief and looked at this man, he thought that this man was also a spirit.

But he was wrong, next to him was a street lamp, and at this moment, the man's dark shadow was as dazzling as fireworks against the backdrop of the street lamp.

There is a shadow, and he is a living man.

The man was also looking at him. Ning Fei didn't know how to describe this man, he was wearing a black windbreaker and a round hat, his appearance was ordinary, but the smile on his face and the temperament exuded on his body made Ning Fei feel that there were only two words to describe this man:

Poet.

It's so unbelievable that on such an impetuous night, this man's smile really seems to be a poet.

The man was also looking at Ning Fei, his expression was obviously a little stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face. "I didn't expect that in the retrograde path of time, I could meet a soul who is also a pure heart, interesting, interesting."

Ning Fei didn't speak, his heart was completely silent, and nothing in the world could cause him to make waves.

The man looked directly into Ning Fei's eyes with interest, and in just a moment, Ning Fei felt that everything about himself was understood by the man in front of him.

"Thinking Palace, good fighting skills....." The man's eyes grew more and more surprised, and then he laughed again.

There was a hint of fluctuation in Ning Fei's calm eyes, this man could actually see that he had a thinking palace?

The man chuckled again: "I see, because of the extreme sadness and calm, want to use death to avoid the outbreak of sadness?" The strong desire to survive in the depths of your eyes betrays you. ”

"'Pure Heart', in such a world, your talent is really buried, do you want to see another world?"

Ning Fei was still silent.

The man was talking to Ning Fei, and the endless stream of pedestrians around him seemed to have not seen the man, and no one noticed that the man was talking to the air when he passed by.

Perhaps, because they don't notice.

The man's eyes, which seemed to be able to penetrate everything, became shining as if something interesting had happened, and he said gently: "You will not die like this, I can help you." ”

Before Ning Fei could speak, the man gently raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

At this moment, time suddenly stood still. The faces of the two young men who had just come out of the bar on the side of the road froze in a mesmerized expression, the urine of a teddy next to the telephone pole stopped in a curve in the air, and the rushing car stopped in place as if by magic.

It's as if this was originally a world with sound, and suddenly only a silent picture remains.

Ning Fei turned his head in disbelief to look at the couple next to him, their smiles still hanging on their faces, lifelike.

Then, the world moved again.

Everything is going backwards.

The two young men laughed and retreated to the bar, a puddle of water next to the telephone pole as if sucked back by Teddy, and the car quickly backed away to let the headlights streak light on the road.

Step back in time.

The speed of going back in time was getting faster and faster, and Ning Fei found that the entire world began to change drastically. He was stunned, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in a hospital room.

The white, slightly yellowed walls, the ticking hanging bottles, and some rusty shelves were all familiar to Ning Fei.

This is his hospital room.

At this moment, he was still lying on the hospital bed, his brows furrowed, and he was breathing painfully. He seemed to be asleep, completely oblivious to the strange appearance of two people beside him.

"This is ......" Ning Fei felt a little short of breath, he looked at a living self lying on the hospital bed, and the scene in front of him made his heart shake.

"This was a day ago, a few hours before I died!"

The man next to him suddenly laughed.
