Chapter 1: The Funeral of Social Animals
On the evening of August 18, 2020, when the rainstorm mechanically washed over the small city in the north, Du Ying reported to her family after getting off work and drove to the park on the edge of the city alone, the destination was the 300-year-old sacred tree on the top of the hill in the park.
On the other end of the phone was a man with a broad spectrum of voice: "Little cutie, are you okay, I really blame myself, I'm sorry for you, I really didn't expect this foreign exchange fluctuation to be so big, I was in a hurry, it's okay, I'm here, you should be confident in my technology, I will take you off, I firmly believe that the problems that money can solve are not problems, hey, cutie, you ...... talk." ”
"Okay." Du Ying smiled weakly, hung up the phone, and took out the umbrella, the tip of the metal umbrella had been seriously worn, just like her now, once delicate but scarred by life.
With the flash of the mobile phone, he quickly reached the bottom of the sacred tree on the top of the mountain, and the red rope flying in the wind and rain became a little hideous at this moment, turned off the flash, took out a small bottle of liquor in his pocket, and drank most of it in one gulp, and the strong smell of alcohol rushed directly to his nose, arousing tears.
A muffled thunder in the air frightened Du Ying's hand, and the black umbrella fell to the ground, caught at the root of the tree by the wind, and the heavy rain instantly poured her through.
At this moment, Du Yingzhen felt extremely lost, in just half a year, she experienced the loss of her father, divorced by domestic violence, and deceived into debt, it was really wonderful, the man who just called, they had only known each other for a month, just because he was willing to listen to her and looked good, she was confused about what foreign exchange to do with him, not to mention her original 300,000 yuan, and owed more than 700,000 bank loans, thinking about the bank debts that must be repaid in a few days, all the grievances came to her, The recent hit TV series "Thirty Only", she herself is only 30 years old, how can she feel like she has exhausted her life.
It is said that people fall into a trough, and they should rebound when they fall to the extreme, but where is the rebound, isn't she falling low enough, sure enough, the chicken soup kills people, and she is definitely the group that was stuck by the chicken bones before she drank the soup.
Looking back on my life, an only child, listening to my parents, studying hard, even work and marriage are at the heart of my parents, endure in marriage, give up myself in front of my relatives to fulfill everyone, in the end, my life is so bland, there is no trace of ups and downs, in addition to the ability to work in the past, usually sensible and obedient, there is really no other label worthy of praise.
Today, she ran out to drink on a rainy day, which is the most "heroic" thing she has done in her life, and she has countless thoughts of suicide this month, but if she is a little bit, her family will have to follow the debt, so forget it.
Go home and confess to your mother, borrow some money to repay the loan first, and then find a way to make money, life can really easily refresh your perception of the word miserable, if you are arrogant and feel that you recognize the position, okay, it will give you a few more repeated brushes.
Thinking of this, there was a sudden feeling of depression in his chest, because he rarely drank alcohol, Du Ying was already a little upset at this time, thinking that today was already so "heroic", he simply rushed to be fashionable, yelled a few words, expressed his emotions, and yelled at the sky after making sure that there was no one around: "God, you bastard!" Holy..."
Before he could shout out the fixed sentence to vent his anger, he saw a red lightning bolt in the sky splitting the sky and hitting the sacred tree directly, and the black umbrella was split into the air, with a silky electric light, carrying the black umbrella and accidentally smashed it on the head of Du Ying, who was already stunned.
In just a moment, Du Ying felt numb pain all over her body, her eyes were full of red light, and then she felt that she was floating, the pain disappeared, she saw from the third perspective that she was still standing by the tree, and the moment she was hit was frozen there, the umbrella was still firmly nailed to her forehead, what is the situation, could it be that the soul that was split out of the body?
Before she could open her mind, she instantly felt a strong pressure, a dull pain in her chest, and with this pressure, her body continued to rise, and the city continued to shrink under her feet until it was gone, and then there were black clouds, and the lightning rolling in the clouds twisted various shapes to freeze there, this feeling was like a reverse jumping machine, uncomfortable but powerless.
Everyone will have fear in the face of the unknown, suddenly, Du Ying opened her eyes and saw the most common scene in the movie, the beautiful blue planet, which is completely beyond the range of a normal person's mental bearing, Du Ying is completely confused, is this a hallucination after drinking fake wine? But her gut told her it was all true.
The next moment, the jumping machine suddenly accelerated, and she entered a state of semi-dizziness and wakefulness, there was no sound around, but she could feel something flowing, all kinds of unknown stars, nebulae, flying by, and then she was taken to a dark place, it was like a huge mirror, which could reflect everything around her, and it seemed to be an abyss, bottomless.
Du Ying found that even if there was no ground, she could move forward, and she approached the huge mirror and stretched out her hand to touch it, only to see countless different postures of herself coming from all directions and facing her fingers, and countless information flashed through her mind, making her have a splitting headache.
Rather than seeing, it is better to say that she feels countless paths of her own life, every choice, the end of her life, the scenes brushed in her mind and body, the joys and sorrows she has experienced, the joy and sorrow of life and death, as each different path is repeatedly repeated, the final end and the starting point are linked together, becoming a closed loop.
The sun, moon and stars, the universe is desolate, all time and space are displayed in front of Du Ying's eyes, at this moment she seems to know everything, but she can't express it, and she doesn't seem to know anything, just like a fast-playing film is an infinitely extended black curtain after the broadcast, with no end.
Du Ying entered a special state, no joy or sorrow, no consciousness and no consciousness, and omniscient, omniscient, only the red electric light surrounded her, and then slowly entered her body, and then everything in the universe returned to normal, as if everything just now had never happened.
On the earth, the global news is broadcasting the solar magnetic storm that came three years in advance, this super magnetic storm directly caused most of the world's communication infrastructure to suffer immeasurable damage, people science in the last century The cause of the largest solar magnetic storm in the last century, the Internet is spreading the red sky and various magnetic storm videos that people have taken.
No one cares about a country, a small city, a life that was wiped out by a magnetic storm, in this world line, Du Ying died, her world line ended, forming an energy point, driving the distortion of the surrounding world line, and different endings were born because of this, nothing more.
