The officer continued: "Mr. Zhang, this video contains Erwin's last words, you can take a look at it first. ”

Zhang Yuan took the video recorder and pressed the button.

“…… I never found out that I was so weak. I'm sorry, but this is my last word, and I have decided to end my life here. Erwin said in a hoarse voice in front of the VCR.

His eyes were very dim, and the flame of life seemed to have disappeared on his face.

“…… On earth, I am a world-famous great painter, and the powerful people take pleasure in collecting my paintings, and in their eyes, I am a great artist in the truest sense of the word. Whether it is an official or a rich man, they all treat me with respect and give me plenty of respect. ”

"It probably has something to do with my father, who was also a big artist. Whether they like me or my father, who knows? ”

"For me, it's easy to get anything, whether it's wealth, power, or beauty of the opposite sex. I once served as mayor of a small city in the country of Lan and tasted power; also once set a record of *** woman in one night, what a satisfying and empty night......"

"I've enjoyed a million-dollar meal...... Lived in a mansion of 3000 square meters. ”

"I've climbed Mount Everest, I've visited the Mariana Trench...... Every piece of performance art adds to my value. ”

In the video, Erwin recalls his glorious past and smiles with satisfaction.

"You know what? In fact, this kind of life is quite boring, and after being happy, sometimes I feel dissatisfied and want to pursue a higher level of happiness. Alas, human beings themselves are such creatures that never know satisfaction. ”

"All kinds of desires are like a black hole full of magic, after falling into the black hole, sometimes I want to struggle to get out, but I see that everyone is struggling to jump into this black hole, and I don't want to come out. But there seems to be no higher happiness other than drugs...... Who knows...... It always feels like there's no point in being alive. ”

"Suddenly, one day, I had a whim, and a whim came to me - to leave the earth. I'm going to an alien planet to find my art! ”

"I signed up and donated with great interest, and countless compliments came as promised!"

"At that moment, it was really cool! It's so cool! ”

Speaking of this, Erwin's eyes widened and he showed a hideous expression: "But this is probably the biggest mistake I have made in my life." ”

His hands were spread out: "Everything is gone." ”

"I fell from the high Genting Heavenly Palace and became a mortal. I can no longer do what I want, and I still can't accept this change. ”

"But I know it's my only chance to be great in my life......"

"If I stay on Earth, I will surely indulge in the ultimate depravity. Black holes are called black holes because once you jump in, there's no way to get out of it. ”

"But at this moment, staying on the Earth Age, I feel endless remorse, pain, and trouble...... I want women, good food, luxury cars! ”

"Do you know this contradiction?!"

Erwin paused, pointed to a painting behind him, and said feverishly, "I did it!" ”

"This is the real art!!"

After a long while, his excited expression calmed down: "My death is a personal will, and it has nothing to do with anyone. Just let me stay here, I don't need to witness the new home planet, whether the home planet is good or bad, just let it stay in my imagination. ”

“…… If you can, please scatter my ashes on Europa land and thank you. ”

"Send this painting back to Earth, auction it off, and donate all the auction money to the Deep Space Foundation."

"It's the best and most outstanding work of my life!"

"There is also a second painting for my friend, Mr. Zhang Yuan. I don't know science, I just want you to be the brightest star in the night sky. ”

In the first painting, a fiery red sky and a blue-gray meadow, a lonely figure is looking up at the stars.

Countless stars, including the sun directly above, are shining in the sky.

The seemingly ordinary paintings make people feel very frustrated, remorseful, and powerless, just like the depression and contradiction that Erwin had before he committed suicide.

Because of the infinite light in the sky, there was still no way to illuminate the vast expanse of darkness, including the pitch-black figure.

That feeling of helplessness goes straight to the human heart, as if it can tear the heart apart alive.

This feeling is very subtle, and even a person like Zhang Yuan, who does not understand art at all, can feel the provocative soul in painting.

It was a kind of despair, struggle, and reluctance to reality.

A cry of anger that cannot be vented by desire.

The new home planet is not the real home planet after all, but no matter what, it is impossible to go back to the past.

Once you make a choice, it will be impossible to go back.

It's not just his personal mood, it's the entire Earth Era.

Zhang Yuan let out a long sigh.

yes, there's no going back.

From today onwards, human civilization may have an additional painter comparable to Van Gogh.

Erwin is cowardly, but he's not a coward.

The last swan song of life is sighing, but also admirable.

The second painting is pure black, with the only bright spot in the upper left corner.

What is unique is that this light is made up of countless dense small bright spots. The inspiration for this painting came from a conversation with Erwin at that time.

Zhang Yuan finally knew why Erwin wanted to give it to himself.

He stood there in silence for several minutes.

"This matter, for the time being, can only be claimed to be an accident, otherwise it will cause more instability...... "Captain Ma said in a low voice: "Those who should stay stay, those who should leave leave, and wait until everyone has made up their minds to hibernate before making this matter public." ”

"As for this painting, according to Erwin's will, it was given to you, and I hope you will cherish it."

"It may be the first work of art of a new civilization."

Zhang Yuan returned to the dormitory and slowly moved the painting to his residence.

I kept staring at it and was stunned for a long time.

Erwin died like this, and he talked to himself the other day.

It's still a bit out of breath.

He suddenly noticed a line of small print on the back of the painting.

"Starry Night, 2265.9.11, Erwin."

Zhang Yuan raised his head and turned off the lights.

There was not a single light in the room, and the little white light in the painting seemed to light up in my heart.

Emotions suddenly exploded at this moment, Zhang Yuan rubbed his eyes, not crying, but a kind of farewell to his friends.

Goodbye, my friend, farewell......
