Yun Tianming stood in front of the window of the inpatient ward of the Capital Cancer Hospital, looking at the shadows of the trees under the street lamp outside the window in a daze.

He was the only one in the room.

Two days ago, Lao Li, a patient in the same ward, chose Anle.

Before leaving, Lao Li told him that there was no hope for this disease, and if he continued to drag it out, he would only make his children suffer and he would suffer with it.

This is the first euthanasia case in China after the "Euthanasia Bill" was passed at the special session of the third senior officials' meeting a week ago.

At that time, there were also many media reporters, but most of them were kept out.

Yun Tianming, as a representative of the patient, participated in Lao Li's dying ceremony.

None of Lao Li's relatives were present, he hid it from them, and only waited for the civil affairs bureau to notify him after the incident, which is legally permissible in euthanasia.

The comfort room is the original hospital emergency room, perhaps in order to be more humane, they decorated the emergency room, replaced it with beautiful curtains, placed flowers, and even pasted many pink heart patterns on the wall.

But this had the opposite effect, decorating the tomb as a new house, adding to the horror of death.

When Yun Tianming first saw the appearance of the comfort room, a mixture of fear and nausea came up, almost making him vomit.

But when Lao Li left, there was no pain.

Dr. Zhang told Yun Tianming: "The injectable drug consists of a large dose of barbiturates, muscle relaxants and high concentrations of potassium chloride, and barbiturates act first, putting the patient in a state of sedation and deep sleep; Muscle relaxants make the patient stop breathing, and potassium chloride causes the heart to stop in tachycardia, which is a matter of twenty or thirty seconds. ”

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Dr. Chang was his sister's high school classmate.

Yun Tianming and his sister have no major contradictions, and the sister and brother had a good relationship when they were children.

But when you grow up and have a family, the relationship is naturally estranged.

My sister and brother-in-law are the kind of people who think they are very shrewd, but they are not smart, so they live in disgrace, the children are too old to buy a house, and the in-laws' family has no house to live in, so they have to live in their father's house.

In order to treat himself, his father kept taking out his savings and investing in his bottomless pit, which was doomed to no hope, but he had no money to buy a house for his sister.

Sooner or later, I will have to leave, and my father's money is naturally my sister's money.

So when he heard those words from Dr. Zhang's mouth, Yun Tianming understood that this was what his sister meant.

Yun Tianming didn't feel particularly uncomfortable, anyway, this day was going to come sooner or later, and there seemed to be no difference between coming late and coming early.

But what surprised him a little was that on the afternoon of Lao Li An's euthanasia, a college classmate came to visit him and gave him 3 million.

The reason is very simple, during a college outing, I casually mentioned that I could make a natural drink with a kind of weed, which was remembered by that classmate.

As a result, after graduating from college, with this drink, this classmate made a fortune.

The classmate did not forget his roots, and when he learned that Yun Tianming had terminal cancer, he made a special trip to see him and left him three million.

Yun Tianming did not refuse.

This money gave him a glimmer of hope for survival.

Instead of going to Dr. Zhang, he secretly went to the vice president of the cancer hospital, and after reading his examination report, the vice president shook his head and finally gave him a death sentence.

Since then, Yun Tianming's heart has died.

That afternoon, he submitted an application for euthanasia to the hospital's ethics committee.

But since he is going to die, what to do with this money has become a troublesome matter.

My father has a retirement salary, he has his own house, and his future life is completely fine, and leaving this money to his father is no different from leaving it to his sister.

Sister......

Yun Tianming shook his head, he felt that after he chose euthanasia, he would not owe his sister anything.

After thinking about it, he thought of Cheng Xin.

This sunny girl is one of his fondest memories of college.

It just so happened that two days ago, there was a news of the "Star Project" on TV, so he thought that he was going to spend 3 million to buy a star and give it to Cheng Xin.

I just don't know why, after I submitted the purchase application, the staff of the United Nations Development Programme told me that I was not qualified to purchase.

It seems that God can't even make his last wish come true.

Yun Tianming had a bitter smile on his face.

It's really not good, this money can only be left to my father.

Looking at the bank card on the bedside table, Yun Tianming thought about it, stuffed it into an envelope, and then put it in the storage box.

These personal belongings will be handed over to his family when he is well tomorrow.

……

The breakfast was plentiful, but Yun Tianming didn't have much of an appetite.

Everyone he met today gave him a warm smile, this was the day he had ever seen the most smiles in his life, but this smile did not belong to him.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Yun Tianming was pushed into the comfort room.

According to his request, the hospital did not have so many bells and whistles.

It's just a regular hospital room with white walls, which makes him feel comfortable.

Yun Tianming first signed the notarial deed, and the notary left.

Subsequently, an An Le guide came in and told Yun Tianming the operation specifications.

There is an LED display in front of the bed, connected to a computer, which controls the syringe.

"Mr. Yun, can you see the words on the screen?"

"Yes!"

Yun Tianming nodded.

Then see if you can click the button on the screen with your mouse.

Yun Tianming tried again.

All the best.

"Very good, Mr. Yun, a question will be displayed on the screen and repeated five times, there are six buttons below the question from 0 to 5, each time if you want to answer in the affirmative, press a button according to the prompt, the prompted number is a random one from 1 to 5. This is done to prevent you from pressing the same button over and over again while unconscious; If it is negative, it will be 0 and the program will be terminated immediately. ”

"I see!"

Yun Tianming said lightly.

"Okay, Mr. Yun, let's go into the comfort program next!"

An Le walked out of the glass door.

A nurse came in and plunged the needle of the auto-injector into Yun Tianming's left arm, moving calmly and calmly.

Yun Tianming looked at the nurse's beautiful eyes, and he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling for the nurse, after all, she was the last person in the world to accompany him.

"Thank you."

Yun Tianming Road.

The nurse looked at him wearing a mask, and Yun Tianming could feel the smile in the nurse's eyes.

The Comfort program has officially begun, and the screen at the top of the front displays:

Are you going to end your life? Yes, press the 5 button; No, press the 0 key.

Yun Tianming pressed 5.

Are you going to end your life? Yes, press 2; No, press the 0 key.

Yun Tianming pressed 2.

Are you going to end your life? Yes, press 4 key; No, press the 0 key.

Yun Tianming pressed 4.

Are you going to end your life? Yes, please press the 1 button; No, press the 0 key.

Yun Tianming pressed 1.

Are you going to end your life? This is the last tip. Yes, press the 3 button; No, press the 0 key.

I pick 3.

Yun Tianming said secretly in his heart.

At the moment when Yun Tianming pressed the death button, the door to the comfort room was slammed open, and a group of people rushed in.

The first to arrive was An Le, who rushed to the bed and turned off the power of the auto-injector; The hospital leaders who came in later simply pulled the power socket from the root of the wall; Finally, it was the nurse, who yanked the hose on the syringe machine, pulling it off the machine, and at the same time pulling the needle out of Yun Tianming's left arm, causing him to feel a tingling pain in his left wrist.

Then, people gathered around to inspect the hose, and he heard a word of relief.

"Fortunately, the liquid hasn't come out yet."

The nurse began to deal with Yun Tianming's bleeding left wrist.

Yun Tianming turned his head, and he felt that the whole world lit up.

He saw Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin smiled and said, "Tianming, the person facing the wall wants to see you!" ”

……

Yun Tianming felt like he was dreaming.

In the last moments of his death, he not only saw the girl he wanted to see the most, but was even about to meet a wall-facing person.

Wall-facing.

Face wall plan.

Since it was confirmed that he had cancer, although Yun Tianming didn't pay much attention to current political news, he also knew what kind of existence the Wall Project was.

These wall-facing people are some of the most powerful people on the planet.

Yun Tianming once thought that he was very far away from these wall-facing people, and the doomsday battle four hundred years later would be meaningless to him.

But today, a wall-facing person named himself to see him.

It's like a fairy tale.

Yun Tianming was surrounded by everyone, and when he came to a quiet reception room, he saw a young man who was not much older than him sitting quietly on the sofa drinking tea.

He knew this man, a legendary figure, and there were few people in the world who didn't know him.

Founder of the Wall Facing Project, former ETO member, international top mathematician, wall facer, Pang Xuelin!

"Mr. Yun Tianming, please take a seat!"

Pang Xuelin looked at Yun Tianming, the current Yun Tianming is far from being as thick and broad as Yun Tianming, who has traveled through the vast starry sky and experienced many tribulations.

He is thin, perhaps because of the torture of illness, his face looks a little pale, and he even gives people a dull aura of death, so when he looks at Cheng Xin, his eyes will become brighter.

Yun Tianming sat down on the sofa next to Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin said to the others in the reception room: "You all go out!" Cheng Xin, you are the same! ”

Cheng Xin opened his mouth, turned his head and gave Yun Tianming an encouraging look, and then withdrew from the reception room with everyone.

"Professor Pang, do you have anything to do with me?"

Yun Tianming looked at Pang Xuelin and said with some curiosity.

Just the first sentence Pang Xuelin said made Yun Tianming take aback: "Do you like Cheng Xin?" ”

"Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem......"

After a long while, Yun Tianming recovered a little from his violent coughing, and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "I...... Qualified to like? ”

Pang Xuelin took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "No one is unattainable, by the way, didn't you want to buy a star for Cheng Xin a few days ago?" I vetoed it! ”

Yun Tianming's eyes widened: "Professor Pang, you ......"

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and said, "Cheng Xin is not suitable for you, at least the current Cheng Xin is not suitable for you now." As for the future, it's up to you to grasp it. Do you want to live? ”

"Professor Pang, what do you mean by that?"

Yun Tianming looked at Pang Xuelin in surprise.

Pang Xuelin handed a document to Yun Tianming and said, "You read it first, and tell me your choice after reading it." ”

The reception room was silent, except for the sound of Yun Tianming's loud page-turning.

After a long time, Yun Tianming raised his head and said, "Why did you choose me?" ”

"No, you're just one of the many candidates!"

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly: "But I'm very optimistic about you!" ”

"Yun Tianming, you were born in an intellectual family, and your parents are both social and interpersonal imbeciles, and they are very down-and-out. They don't have the status of aristocrats, but they insist on educating you as nobles, the books you read must be classical classics, the music you listen to must be classical songs, and the people they associate with must be those they think are cultivated and leveled. They keep telling you how vulgar the people and things around them are, and how much higher their own spiritual taste is than ordinary people. ”

"You still had a few friends in elementary school, but you never dared to bring them to play at home because your parents would certainly not approve of you being with such a vulgar child. In junior high school, as the aristocratic education deepens, you become more alone. But it was at this time that the parents divorced. It was the father's third party who caused the family to break up, a girl who sold insurance. The mother remarried a wealthy construction contractor. Both of these are the people your parents are trying to keep you away, so they also understand that they are no longer qualified to educate you in that way. ”

"But aristocratic education has taken root in your heart, and you can't get rid of it, just like the wind-up handcuffs of the past, the more you try to break free, the tighter it is cuffed. Throughout your secondary and college years, you become more withdrawn, more sensitive, and more distant from the crowd. It wasn't until you went to college that you met Cheng Xin......"

"Cheng Xin belongs to the kind of girl who will feel good when anyone sees it, she treats people sincerely, is not pretentious, and has a pure heart. Of course, coupled with her super good looks, there are countless boys who have a crush on her, and you are also one of her many crushes......"

"Am I right?"

Yun Tianming pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Pang Xuelin said: "The ladder plan is very cruel, we will send a volunteer's brain to the past, across the cold and empty starry sky, until hundreds of years later, it is intercepted by the Trisolarans." If all goes well, you will be resurrected by the Trisolaranan clone. During this time, you may be subjected to unimaginable living sensory limit tests and inhuman torture until you officially integrate into a sapient race that is completely different from ours. I don't ask you to remain loyal to humanity, I just hope that you can be an emissary so that our human civilization, before it perishes, can really see the true face of extraterrestrial civilization. Would you like to join the Ladder Program? ”
