Chapter 1: Three Extremes of Suffering
In the darkness, all the desperate struggles are for-
Open your eyes!
But Taiyang, who finally opened his eyes, suddenly thought of one thing: some time ago, a European country carried out a case of euthanasia for minors.
He was puzzled by this.
How can there be such a "beautiful" way to die as euthanasia?
Only those who have truly experienced death can understand this invention, which can be called the most bizarre invention in the history of human civilization. Because death is not a terrible thing, but the process of death is very painful.
For Taiyang, who has just experienced the process of death, it is especially hard to remember.
When he opened his eyes again, he couldn't believe he was still alive. It is impossible for anyone to have the idea of "I am alive" after such a painful death.
But when he saw a girl like an angel, he firmly believed it. Because he wants to believe.
"Are you awake?"
The girl's nice voice was just right to wake up Taeyang, who had begun to fantasize boundlessly. Only then did he look at this strange place. The strangeness of this place has the following:
First of all, the décor of the room is extremely simple. It's so simple that there's no artificial decoration at all (when he knows that the place he is is actually a natural tree hole...... There is no pursuit of modern people at all, but it seems to be a place where ancient primitive humans lived.
Second, quiet. He was born in the countryside, grew up in the countryside, and spent his entire life in the countryside except for going to college (the small county town where he went to high school was also counted as a rural village in his heart...... So the bird calls this kind of thing not just a lot in his life, but a lot. But here the birds call differently. There is a purity to the birdsong here. This kind of pure wonder if it has some kind of magic, but there is no doubt that this is a very quiet place.
The third point, the windows. In his mind, he had never seen such a window. Since childhood, he likes to dabble in all kinds of books, and he thinks he is well-informed. But in his memory, he had never seen a window of this style. It looked like the hole in the old tree in front of his house.
Point 4,......
He wanted to continue to complain about this place in his heart, and he suddenly thought that he still had a lot of questions to ask this girl, and if he didn't answer for so long, would others ignore him all of a sudden.
"yes, I'm awake." After saying that, Taeyang seemed to find that his performance was too intense, not at all like being in a strange place.
So he adjusted his emotions and asked, "Where is this?" Feeling so strange, huh? Did I cross over? Have I come from the original world of technology to the fantasy world? ”
"Poof!"
Taeyang's so-called adjustment of his emotions has no effect at all. That barrage of questions was really ...... It makes people want to laugh.
The girl couldn't help laughing out loud with a "poof", and her originally beautiful cheeks turned crimson and became even more charming. Although Taeyang was embarrassed and embarrassed, he was also fascinated.
"Are you the main character in a fantasy novel? Also crossed! Want to open in a different world and a different continent to win Bai Fumei? It's a beautiful idea! ”
"Aha, too. How could I, who had been unlucky for twenty-two years, have such good luck? Unlucky to 22, it seems that it will be '2' for the rest of his life. ”
After speaking, Taeyang's eyes suddenly dimmed. The girl wanted to say something after seeing it, but Taeyang suddenly said:
"Hey, I forgot to ask the most important thing, I'm not ......"
The word "car accident" is impossible to say.
It was an indescribably painful memory. It felt like it happened a long time ago, but it felt like something that had happened in a dream before waking up. He felt so strange, he had been unable to distinguish between reality and dreams. Now he couldn't tell the difference.
The girl in front of him is too beautiful, even in his fantasy is an angelic existence. But in fantasy, such existence is too illusory, never so real, as real as if he could touch it as long as he stretched out his hand—
What gentle hands!
Yes, it must have been in a dream. Alas, he thought nightmares were the most hateful, because he was afraid to fall asleep every night because of them, even with the lights on. But now, he hated sweet dreams. Because dreams are very deceptive.
After waking up from a sweet dream, the feeling of loss is like winning hundreds of millions of lottery tickets, but before you have time to claim the prize, you fell off the cliff and fell to your death.
But why does this time the hand not feel like in a dream, but like in reality?
"Grandpa, who the hell is this person? Why haven't you woken up after sleeping for so long? ”
Forehead!!!?
Grandfather? Taiyang began to wonder, when did he marry his wife, and his girlfriend was not okay yet? How can someone call you grandpa? How can you be called grandpa?
Taiyang, there is no homonym of the word "Ye" in the name. And say I slept for a long time? How can it be! "Sleeping long" is definitely Ferrari and Rolls-Royce in the eyes of the poor dick - an absolute luxury - and he hasn't slept for more than three hours in a row for a long time......
Suddenly, his eyes opened again. Wonder! Taeyang himself realized that something was wrong, and he had already opened his eyes before. He remembered very well that he hadn't closed his eyes again, but why did he open them again?
I don't have time to think about it, but what catches my eye is the strange décor, the quiet environment, and the weird windows. It's exactly like in a dream!
The girl is also there, and she is as beautiful as an angel in her dream. And he was still holding her hand—suddenly, Taeyang's hand felt as if it had been electrocuted. Then he saw a face as cold as ice, and a look that wanted to eat him alive.
"You...... Who are you? ”
That's the reality! The dream didn't look like him at all. This kind of panicked and scared look when something happens is him. He was familiar with him.
"Don't be afraid, young man!
The girl's name is Grandpa, and she is an old man with white hair and a white beard. The old man was in good spirits and dressed very modernly, no different from the professors in the university who got up early to do tai chi.
The reason why Taeyang noticed the old man's dress was entirely because the girl's dress was too time-bound. What he saw in his dream was exactly the same as what he saw after waking up, and it was probably for this reason that he thought in his dream whether he had crossed over.
"Actually, I wasn't scared." Taeyang didn't know where he got the courage to say this.
"That's good!" The old man turned to look out the window, "No one knows what a painful process Phoenix Nirvana is. But whether it is to live to die or to live and die is a very painful process. This painful process is like the process of no one knowing the phoenix nirvana, no one can feel it. But in a short period of time, you have experienced all three painful processes together. No matter what, you will be a fearless person in the future. Just like the phoenix after Nirvana, the sky is yours. ”
"Three painful processes?"
"The nirvana of the phoenix, born to death, to die to life. Three extreme painful processes. ”
