Chapter 1: Wake Up
I, it's Chen Ping, since I woke up that day, I can no longer remember my old memories, I don't know where I came from and where I'm going.
All I had on me was a backpack that I couldn't open, a piece of clothing that would never break.
The people of this world can't see me, they can't feel me, and even I doubt my own existence, whether I really exist or I am abandoned by the world.
She is the only one who can see my existence, the only one who can talk to me and comfort me, and I am not alone.
It all starts the day I wake up............
I found a bright light in the darkness, my dizzy head and heavy eyelids, and the pain of struggling to get up, only the distant light flickered faintly in my confused eyes, looking at the empty road in front of me, my hands seemed to be very weak, my groggy head was extremely painful, I turned my head, I only saw the green plants next to me, "I...... This is...... Where. β
Qu hand to support his upper body, the yellowing and flickering light in the distance is so desolate, "my head ......" holding the skull, my eyes widened, the strangeness in front of me, let me have a trace of doubt in my heart, where is this, why did I fall here for no reason, I ......,
I......
I......
I...... Who is it?
My heart is filled with my questions.
Yes, I, who is I? Who am I! I...... Why is it here.
The doubts and panic and the fear in my heart, and in this dark corner, I couldn't help but start to panic, I couldn't remember who I was, who I was?
"Who am I?" A hoarse voice came from my throat, dry and itchy, and I couldn't help but stick out the tip of my tongue and lick my lips, "Where is this?" "There was no one around, no one could give me an answer, the lights in the distance were still flickering, looking at the lights, I got up, but the pain in my head made me spasm, my heart twitched, I had to sit cross-legged, the bent body did not make me feel better, with the beating of the heart, the pain in the head also followed, "uh......" moaning like a human voice came from my mouth, the twitching of the heart was far less than the pain of the head, the pain hit the moment, I couldn't bear it anymore, weightlessness, vomiting, The chilling body is like a balloon that expands in its head, sometimes growing and sometimes shrinking.
"Ah~ah~" Ten fingers deep into the ends of the hair, I believe that at this time my head must be exploding, the pain in the scalp can not relieve my pain in the slightest, the head is like a heart beating, every beat will make the head swell, and then shrink again, swell again.
"Ahh A mournful roar echoed through this dimly lit cornerγγγ
A meaningless roar wandered through this stretch of road, and how I wished that someone would come to me at this time; If anyone helps me, I'm dying.
Time was ticking, slowly passing in my infinite pain and long waiting.
Just when I didn't know how much time had passed, when I stopped again, sweat soaked my back, and then I realized that I was curled up in a ball, the flickering lights in the distance were still yellow, my whole body was powerless, I could only stare at it with my eyes, and at this moment I realized that the position I had just moved in pain was just enough for me to look at it, it flickered, flickered, faint sparks splashed around, and then flashed again, like a burning candle, the candle flame flickered, it was so beautiful.
I'm trying to appreciate its beauty, but the frequency of its flickering is getting slower and slower, how I wish it wouldn't go out, how I wish it could keep flickering, but in my hope, it still slowly dimmed, and the spark gave it one last brilliant figure, and it was hidden in the darkness.
And I endured the cold of my body in the boundless darkness, waiting for my strength to recover, and I was also thinking about who I really was in the endless darkness.
When darkness comes, we don't have to be afraid, and we don't have to feel alone, because even if we are in the dark, we can still light our own brilliant fire, even if we can't light up the whole world, we can still light our own hearts.
Time is in meaningless consumption.
...... in the sky There was a hint of whiteness, and I saw that in the place where it had died, a piece of orange appeared, and it jumped out against its body.
Is this your mission? So where is my mission? I tried to look up and watch it rise higher and higher in the sky.
Time passed minute by minute, when it became the most dazzling fireball, the warmth gradually enveloped my body, my physical strength was finally enough to support my body, at this time I had time to look at the surrounding environment, I was on a road, just on the side of the green plants on the road, the green plants were stained with a thick layer of dust, the sidewalk was paved with autumn leaves, there was no trace of manual sweeping, this is a barren lot, the dilapidated pedestrian lights in the distance were only covered by a broken green iron sheet, The one-man tall iron rod was also rusty. I had a rag backpack beside me, and I reached for it and tried to open it, but the zipper was as if it were embroidered, and it didn't move, and I couldn't pull it even with all my strength.
"What should I do?" Looking at my hands that were a mixture of dust and sweat, I realized that I was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. Picking up my backpack, I stood up with difficulty, looked around, the road behind me and the road in front of me, I couldn't make a choice, so let's go to the road in my heart.
I dragged my tired body step by step in the direction of the flickering lights last night. It was as if a voice from deep within me told me that the light was my direction, and that even if it went out, it wouldn't make me change direction.
The body seems to be hollowed out, the heavy footsteps move slowly, I feel the heat of the sky, with a mind full of doubts, aimlessly walking forward, I don't know what awaits me in front of me, I don't know what lies ahead, follow the intuition in my heart, I can only move forward step by step.
When I finished the road, there was a T-shaped road in front of me, on the left I didn't know where it led, and on the right, I didn't know where it led. Looking back at the road that seems to be two worlds, although the dust on the road just now is covered with green plants, but the traces of vehicle walking, at least it shows that there are still people passing by in this place, but the road in front of me has no traces of vehicle driving at all, the air is filled with the smell of decay, the trees are not pruned, the surrounding is dead and silent, the rotten leaves and fruits on the ground set off the dilapidated houses around, the ghost is the thought in my heart, the desolation and loneliness in my heart strike again, step by step, I'm walking in this untouched fieldβ
ββIn the distance, a huge mouse stared closely at the stranger in front of him, he stopped and stopped, not knowing what he was looking for, the mouse lowered his head again and ate the fruit in front of him, but the stranger's footsteps suddenly came in the direction of the mouse, the mouse dropped his food, ran quickly, hid in the hole and looked at him quietly, he stepped on the food that the mouse had just eaten, the mouse could only squeak and shout but did not go out. Walking anxiously around the cave.
- The houses here, the eaves are covered with moss, the rain-washed walls are pitted, and the small buildings up to 3 stories are deserted in this area, with no edge in sight, faintly mixed with insects, but the smell of rotting leaves fills the nasal cavities, making people feel no life. All the houses, the iron doors are tightly closed, the traces left by the years on the iron doors are so clear, the black brown rust and the corroded iron sheets, walking on this road, it is so shady, the wind will bring up a few leaves that are not willing to be silent, I look around, stop and go, familiar with the ......
The familiarity in my heart can't fool me, I'm familiar with this place, "It's just that I can't remember where this is." I murmured, touched the big tree beside me, looked up and watched the sun bustling through the leaves, the trees swaying with the wind, I saw a bird swaying among the leaves, I also saw the rats climbing on the eaves, I walked in this abandoned area where no one had set foot, I stopped as I walked, I wished I could remember something, but I couldn't remember anything except this familiarity in my heart.
This deserted and abandoned group of houses gave me the slightest comfort, although I don't know where this comfort came from, at least it felt so peaceful for this moment, I sat on the only stone chair in this long street, and a moment ago I snatched this chair from a bird, and stroked all the fallen leaves, although it was covered with dust, but at this time there was a place to rest, I would not care.
Idle, once again attracted by the backpack around me, I picked up the backpack, reached out and pulled the zipper again, frowned, this time I really used all my strength and didn't pull a minute, puzzled I looked at the zipper and gritted my teeth, I found that there was no problem, but I couldn't open this small backpack.
I tried to pull my teeth instead of unzipping them, but my teeth seemed to be tighter, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but for a moment, I felt that the backpack was alive.
What a strange idea. β
With the current environment, as weird as you want, I feel creepy in my heart, throw my backpack beside me, once I have an idea in my heart, I can no longer suppress it, I always feel that there is a dead thing around me that has life makes me feel scared and frightened.
The wind blew across my cheeks again, and I realized that my pores were breathing desperately, 'Delusion, I'm just scaring myself.' ββ
I wanted to leave this hellish place, but the moment I reached for my backpack, my hands stiffened, and I hesitated to see if I really wanted to carry this backpack. "Yes...... It's the only thing that is with me, it should be my own, and if there's something in it that proves who I am, or where I came from, I can't throw it away. β
With this thought in mind, I threw away my hesitation and fear, and with my backpack on my back, I prepared to leave here.
'Do you want to go back now?' Looking at the road I had come from, I remembered the familiarity I had just had, and I dispelled the idea of going back and continued along the path......
