Chapter Twenty-Four: Falling into a Strange Land
What Xin Wu was paddling hard and trying to grasp was his body that was rapidly floating, rapidly moving away from the ground, and above it was a deep, bottomless infinite starry sky......
In fact, where is the "above" and where is the "below", until Xin Wu flew to a critical point, he began to really worry: farther and farther away from the earth, the starry sky that flew away under the temptation of blue at first, from white to blue, from blue to gray, from gray to black, the curvature of the edge of the earth is a "sphere" is also getting bigger and biggerβββ it is strange, it stands to reason that at this time, he should be very cold, and he should not be wearing a spacesuit supplied with an oxygen cylinder, it should be difficult to breathe, but Xin Wu does not feel a little uncomfortable, There is no heat transfer around the body, and the temperature is the same as the ground.
When the earth turned into a huge, blue-and-white planet, Shingo was shocked by this unprecedented visual experience: so big, so beautiful! I'm so proud that I'm from here!
While admiring the magnificence, the faster and faster flight speed made Shingo begin to be a little frightened, and he couldn't tell whether he was "flying" away from the earth or "falling off" from the earth, there was a strange force driving his body, desperately trying to get rid of the shackles of the earth's gravity.
In Xin Wu's eyes, the earth at this time is becoming smaller and smaller, and he does not seem to be "ascending to heaven", but like he is constantly "falling" towards the unknown darkness, in this sense, the "sky" in his mind at this time is looking forward to returning to the surface of the earthβββ that lovely home, that dormitory building, the lower bunk of the 303 dormitory, at this moment, there is no place in the world like this place, which makes Xin Wu feel safe with his limbs fluttering and flying to fear.
"Wangli! βββ help me! Shingo burst out, shouting and outstretching his arms like a man who had fallen into the water and was about to drown, counting on the last straw on the water.
The mouth was obviously wide open, but it didn't seem to really make a sound, this feeling that he had never felt before, the feeling of losing control of his body, tightly grasped Xin Wu's heart, his whole person's muscles were tense, and the qi of the dantian seemed to be full of the power of confrontation, ready to call all the energy that could be called, and pressed the solid abdominal muscles tightly, first protecting the most important internal organs from being injured by the impending excessive impact.
"No, I have to hold my breath and shout like this for a while, the air in this stomach will run out, and I'll be finished. Can't shout! β
"Like a fish in the throat" is almost the current state.
The fat man did not appear in response, Xin Wu realized that he could only rely on himself, but calmed down, first relaxed his muscles, got up, and let himself recover the curled up posture of the baby in the womb, and now the whole body has recovered into a "round sphere" shape that is very compatible with the astral boundary, with his arms around his knees and his head buried in it, at this time, the benefits of long legs appeared, he could observe the surrounding situation from the gap between his knees, and because of the "spherical" posture, the flying method of rolling up, made him dizzy, Fortunately, he often shows off his stunts of high diving to everyone by the pool, and the swimming skills he has practiced in the amateur sports school in those years allow him to quickly control the dizziness caused by the constant flipping, and fine-tune the muscles of the body a few times, and finally make the "course" stabilize, and now the posture is the "regression" of the body facing the "earth" and facing the "universe".
The strangest thing in his heart was, why didn't he have to worry about this breathing problem? Isn't it supposed to be hypoxic suffocation? At the height of this ghost place? It's not scientific!
At this time, they were studying "Pegasus" on the ceiling of the dormitory, but they didn't know that there was a person here who was "flying", and "Horse" was about to become a constellation.
"Backwards, where are you going? Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do? β
After Xin Wu stabilized his "sailing" posture, the first thing he wanted to figure out was the "three philosophical questions" that Zhou Shukang's father liked to ask repeatedly in the first lecture of the class. β
It was still a short video sent by Shu Kang, which was secretly taken by her father's students during class, and the cute old man above shook his head and inspired the students below: "Have you ever thought about what the three sentences that Tang Seng first introduced himself when he knocked on a stranger's door in "Journey to the West" meant? 'Poor monk Tang monk, from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern soil, is going to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, please ask the donor to stay overnight, Amitabha! This completely answers the three fundamental questions of human philosophy: 'Who am I?', 'Where do I come from?' and 'Where am I going?'. β
Now Xin Wu is very clear about his "where he came from", that is, the earth in front of him is getting farther and farther away from him; However, "who am I" and "where am I going" are one of them beginning to doubt, and the other is completely unclear.
He discussed with himself: "If I were a normal earthling, Shingo, all the knowledge I have learned tells me that I would not have lived to the present at all, and that I would have been blown to death by the wind almost as soon as I ascended to the troposphere; By the time I got to the stratosphere, I should have been frozen all over; And to be able to fly here, I should have suffocated a few times due to lack of oxygen...... But not only did I breathe normally, but I also felt more and more relaxed in my body, and there was no air outside, so what was it that I inhaled into my lungs? I can live like this, I can only reverse it, I am not an 'earth human' at all? So what kind of strange 'species' am I? And the current 'rapid regression' is to solve the third question, 'Where to go'? Am I looking for the answer to my first question? If this answer overturns my convictive answer to the second question, will this 'where' come and 'where' go, will it be reversed again? β
The mind was only entangled for a moment, but it felt as if a long time had passed, and the earth in front of me was already as small as a "watermelon". Xin Wu gradually stopped being shocked, calmed down, and suddenly became inexplicably sad, and had a kind of "one side, I want to see what is playing with myself behind".
"I want to see who's playing with me!" Shingo found that he might have been too careful, and there was no rubble or solar wind flying around him, as if he was being gently wrapped in a dark power, and was in the transportation of "steady delivery" to a certain predetermined destination.
"Am I someone who ordered a 'Earth Lunch Takeaway'? Being delivered? β
Suddenly, this kind of thought made Xin Wu himself want to laugh a little: "Have a vision!" I'm pretty picky! Among the more than 7.5 billion people on the earth, I was picked, and this buyer must be an alien beauty who has a crush on me! It's better to be the pretty kind, don't make me feel disgusted when I see her, and you have to please her, and trouble her to 'return it for no reason'. However, the express packaging in this place is really good! Invisible, interstellar transmission can also be kept fresh, this is advanced, you have to learn! β
