Chapter 17: The Meaning of Existence
Does a person's existence have any meaning?
That's a problem! This is a question that has plagued countless people.
From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many great poets have exhausted the joys, sorrows and sorrows of life in books, and the joys and sorrows of the world.
But now! He doesn't have to worry about this question anymore, because his existence doesn't make any sense at all.
Even the world he has existed in for 19 years has become a phantom in other people's minds, so what difference does it make if he himself exists or not.
His mind is empty!
The doctor's words grew more and more indistinct, as if the voice was getting farther and farther away from him. The picture in front of me became more and more blurry, and gradually only a blank space remained.
He couldn't smell the smell of medicine in the house!
He couldn't see the picture in front of him!
He can't hear the voice in his ear!
He can't feel everything in the world!
The soul of Conglu is like leaving his own body, and he is no longer aware of everything in this world.
"Woo-la-la! ~~ Woo! ~~~ Woo la! ~~”
It's that familiar voice again, and it's that terrifying picture again.
Time: 14:26 p.m., May 3, 2727 AD.
Location: Sumer, lower Euphrates and Tigris rivers in southeastern Iraq.
From the road, I returned to the world of darkness once again.
But this time it was different, there was no picture in his head, and only the words in his ears that had not yet been fully translated.
"Director, the commander's cell phone signal has appeared!"
He was discovered as soon as he returned to this world. It turned out that since he disappeared last time, Director Lin had arranged for three communications specialists in the command center to monitor his mobile phone signal 24 hours a day.
At this moment, Director Lin is holding a meeting with leaders at all levels.
"That's the end of the discussion on the transportation issue, let's discuss, how ~~~ hurry up and get me to his phone."
"How do you get me through to him? What is the problem? "There were a few officials in the venue who had always admired Director Lin Shu, and they were really thinking about this issue.
"La-la-la! ......" the phone kept ringing.
I didn't pick up from the road, and the other party didn't hang up, so I was silent all the time.
No one in the conference room was thinking about what to call me quickly, because Director Lin had already gotten up and left the conference room.
Seeing Director Lin leave in a hurry, all the high-ranking officials in the conference room showed a worried face.
"La-la-la! ......" The phone kept ringing.
Going down to the command center, Director Lin stood behind the back of the communications commissioner and hammered his palms, and said in an anxious tone: "You kid should answer the phone quickly." ”
At this moment, the beautiful police officer in the command center said, "Director, why don't we try to shout!" ”
Hearing the suggestion of the beautiful police officer, Director Lin suddenly said: "That's right! How I didn't think of that. ”
Immediately afterwards, Director Lin connected to the rescue department.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
"Yes!"
The mighty 15,000 people opened their voices and were ready to go.
Just listen to the sentence "Action!" in the Command Center Rescue Channel! The 15,000 rescue team members shouted in unison: "Commander! Answer the phone! ”
"Commander! Official~An~An~~ Answer the phone! Words ~ah~ah~~~" The voice echoed in every corner of the city, and almost everyone heard it.
"La-la-la! ……”
The phone was still ringing, but there was still no answer from the road.
He couldn't hear the shouts of 15,000 people, and he couldn't hear the mobile phones ringing around him. He just stood quietly in front of an old stone tablet, breathing.
It's like you're on the train home after learning that something big has happened at home. You can't see the scenery along the way, and you can't hear the station reports along the way. You don't have anything unrelated in your heart, and you don't care about anything other than when you're going to get home.
At this time, the same is true of Conglu, he can't hear anything, he can't see anything. Not because he lost his hearing, nor because he lost his vision. There was no change in his body, the only thing that had changed was his broken heart.
The sun crosses a small river on the border with Sumer, and the water is so clear that if it weren't for the vivid reflections on both sides, there would even be the illusion that there is not a drop of water in the river.
The reason why the river is so clear is not because of the hard work of the sanitation workers, but because all the life in the river has been lost.
The light swept across the ground quickly, and after only a few minutes, the sun was shining through the mountains and forests of eastern Sumer.
There are no jungle birds, no roars of beasts, and the mountains and forests are quiet, very quiet.
It wasn't until the sun swept across an ancient stone monument in the ancient city of Sumer that there was a slight breathing sound on the land.
Exhaling and breathing, pulse, and moving, he was calm, calm to the point that he was like a stone in front of an ancient stone monument.
The visual impact finally made Conglu feel his presence, and his eyes stared at the stone monument in front of him without blinking.
There are a lot of strange symbols on the stele, as well as some carvings that look misshapen.
But Conglu was not thinking about the content of the stone tablet, but looking at his own shadow in a daze.
His eyes were like looking in a mirror, as if the stele in front of him was a big mirror, and the shadow on the stele was himself in the mirror.
It's just a shadow of him! And he's just an illusion in his head!
They are no different, they are just shadows of the world.
"Hehe! ~~~Hahahaha~~~"
Suddenly, he started laughing wildly from the road, and the madness of the laughter made people think that he was really crazy.
"Aha! ~~~~~”
Gradually, the laughter from the road began to distort, until finally it turned into a plaintive roar.
The roar echoed through the empty and dilapidated ancient city of Sumer, and for a moment the whole ancient city was filled with a sense of resentment.
He was tired of shouting, he was in pain, and he couldn't shout anymore, so he fell down physically and mentally exhausted.
"Boom! ~" The voice was heavy, and a puff of dust was kicked up on the bare ground.
The dazzling light shone directly on Conglu's face, and he gazed calmly at the sun in the sky as if he couldn't feel the dazzle of the sun.
It was as if the sun, which gave the earth energy and gave light to the world, was just an illusory shadow in his eyes.
But no matter how indifferent the psychological feeling is, the physical reflection will not disappear with it.
His eyes could not stand the stimulation of the light, and secreted tear drops, which flowed down his ears to the ground.
A tear blurred his eyes and stirred his heart.
A feeling of tugging at the tip of my heart arose, and then the tears from the road were no longer to protect my eyes. It has one of the most common functions, which is catharsis, catharsis of the complex emotions in his heart.
It was a silent cry, because there was no sound coming from the road at the moment.
It wasn't until the tears ran out that he had a little sense.
"La-la-la! ~~~”
The phone had been ringing for an hour and fifteen minutes, and in the middle of the way, Director Lin ordered the members of the rescue department to shout three times, and finally connected the phone from the road.
"Hey! Why don't you kid answer the phone all the time? ”
When Director Lin was about to scold Conglu, the beautiful police officer next to him pointed to the picture on the video screen and exclaimed, "Look at it! ”
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at the Commander!"
I don't know, I think she's a nymphomaniac.
But the voice of the beautiful police officer was obviously full of doubts, and there was no admiration in her eyes, only extreme surprise.
Several staff members heard the noise.
Men and women just think differently, and while all the men are excited to see the hero, several female comrades have already exclaimed.
"This, this, how is this possible!"
They weren't surprised by the Commander's immature face, they had already seen Conglu's profile.
They were amazed by the Commander's thin clothing, they were surprised by the sunlight that could be seen everywhere around the Commander, and they were surprised that the Commander was able to bask in the sunlight intact without any protective measures.
"Ahh ~~~" The hoarse voice no one knows what it means.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Ahh ~~~”
"Just stay there, I'll arrange for someone to support you right away."
"It's all just an illusion!" This was the last message sent from Lu to Director Lin.
"Ding! ~~~ "The battery of the mobile phone is exhausted, and the physical strength from the road is also exhausted.
