Darkness! Silence! This is vanity, and everything is incomparably empty.

Suddenly, a speck of fluorescent light flashed out of the distant void, and it was impossible to distinguish the color.

It gradually brightens, and then a rainbow of light can be seen flickering and jumping. The darkness slowly corroded, faded, thinned, but never faded.

The colorful light began to condense, forming an incomparably dazzling light cluster.

The darkness lurked, waiting for an opportunity to extinguish the light, but this strange light was always brilliant and never extinguished.

••••••

Beiyang City Prison.

The tall iron gate was slowly opened, and Zhang Shutang stepped out of the threshold, and the sun was close to noon, projecting his tall figure on the iron gate.

Five years, the best five years of his life, but being imprisoned in a deep prison, this is an indescribable pain in his heart.

"Life is like writing a story on paper, every step needs to be conceived, and if it is outrageously wrong, you can only tear it up and start over. Even if there is a chance to make amends, it will leave clear traces. ”

Zhang Shutang glanced at the white clouds floating in the sky, and silently read this sentence engraved in his heart. This is what his mother once told him, and he never dared to forget it.

He took a deep breath, and there was a feeling that he hadn't felt for a long time, which made him tremble uncontrollably.

Finally, it's out!

Five years has been changing with each passing day, and new ideas are everywhere.

Zhang Shutang looked around as he moved forward, there were too many changes in this homeland, and it could no longer coincide with the pictures in his memory.

He suddenly had a sour feeling, this should be the place he was most familiar with, but now it was strange.

Thinking about what happened over the years, my heart is even more mixed. Reality is compelling, but memories are crazy.

It's autumn, but the heat is still hitting. Zhang Shutang wiped the sweat running down his cheeks, and felt a little inexplicably apprehensive in his heart. I'm almost home, and I don't know if my parents are okay.

Walking through the rows of neat buildings, the place that had touched his heart countless times reappeared in his eyes. It's still the same, everything else is unfamiliar, only here it is still the same.

Compared with the beautiful high-rise buildings around them, these bungalows are low and shabby, but they make Zhang Shutang feel extremely friendly.

He took a deep breath, and his heart, which had been silent for many years, was about to move.

He stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

"Who's coming? A familiar voice came out from inside, just a word, but Zhang Shutang's eyes instantly moistened.

The door opened, and a middle-aged woman with gray sideburns appeared.

"Mom!. ”

Zhang Shutang's tears could no longer be suppressed and slipped down from his eyes.

The mother's voice trembled a little and said, "You... You're out..."Before the words were finished, tears were already pouring out of his eyes.

Zhang Shutang hugged his mother at once, and there were too many unspeakable emotions filling his heart.

"You kid last time I went to see you, why didn't you tell me to come out today. ”

"Mom, I..." Zhang Shutang wanted to say something, but his voice was trembling, and he couldn't control his choking.

His mother patted him gently on the back, "It's good to come out!"

"Who's out there, come in and tell me something!" a voice came from inside the room, which made the mother and son a little more emotional.

Zhang Shutang glanced into the room, looked at his mother and said, "Is my dad okay?"

The mother was about to speak, but saw a middle-aged man come out with a rice bowl.

"Who is this, just in time for the meal, come into the house to eat together..."

"Bang!"

After the middle-aged man saw Zhang Shutang, the words behind him were swallowed directly, and the rice bowl in his hand was also thrown to the ground.

"Dad..."

"I'm not your father! I don't have a rebel like you, you get out of here! Get out of here, the farther away the better, don't let me see it for the rest of my life!"

The father's angry rebuke was like a knife, stabbing into Zhang Shutang's heart.

He wanted to speak, but his father wouldn't give him a chance, and turned back into the house, but his departing back was shaking.

"Shu Tang, don't blame your father, he is an old-fashioned person, and what you did at the beginning was really too ..."

"Mom, I don't blame him. Don't worry, my son will make some achievements, and my father will definitely forgive me when the time comes, and I will be the pride of your life!"

A smile appeared on the mother's wrinkled face, and she said, "As long as you are down-to-earth, you are better than anything else." ”

Zhang Shutang found for the first time that his mother's face had traces of so many years. He is the only son in the family, but he has never fulfilled his filial piety for a day, and the tears of remorse slipped down again.

"What are you talking to this rebel, come into the house with me!" said the father, who went and returned, and pulled the mother into the house.

"Bang dang!"

The wooden door, which was no longer visible, was slammed shut, and the sound of quarrels came from inside, only to become more and more faint.

Zhang Shutang stood at the door, unable to calm down for a long time.

••••••

Walking on the streets,

Troubled as night,

The shady curtain does not disperse,

Lost!

On the unfamiliar street, Zhang Shutang walked aimlessly, and there was no expression on his face, although his heart was already in a mess.

He has had a good academic performance since he was a child, sensible and obedient. The elders in the neighborhood, the one who saw him would praise him sincerely, and his parents had great expectations for him.

If it weren't for that incident, maybe he would have graduated from a prestigious university now, had a good job, and maybe he would have married a wife and had a lovely child.

Everything is so beautiful, but there are no ifs in life, and regret is the most painful punishment.

I don't know how long I walked, Zhang Shutang came to the riverside far away from the city, remembering that he used to swim here with his friends when he was a child, he couldn't help but lose his mind again.

There are some people who have left a deep mark on their lives, but with the passage of time, they have faded, and although they are not forgotten, they are no longer as kind as they used to be.

The deceased is like this, and there is more grief than resentment.

Zhang Shutang walked along the river, away from the noise, he just wanted to be quiet, and when he stopped, he felt that the sky was dark.

He looked at the calm river, but it was difficult to calm down in his heart, there have always been too many things pressed in his heart, but today it is difficult to bear it, he only feels sad and painful, and he can't help himself, it turns out that he has such a fragile time.

Suddenly, a ray of light shone from the bottom of the river, which was extremely dazzling. Zhang Shutang subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no light, it was still just a calm river, and it was still just a remnant sun to fall.

He shook his head and muttered to himself, "What's going on today? Why are you so upset?"

He clenched his fists and suddenly roared hysterically at the passing river.

"Ahh Yes!. ”

I am not afraid of hoarseness, I only hope that the depression in my heart will be diluted and exiled with these few roars.

"Goo-goo-goo. Coo-coo. ”

Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the bottom of the river, and it became clearer and clearer, this was definitely not a hallucination!

Zhang Shutang stared at the river, the originally calm river water was churning at this time, and the strange sound was already like a heavy drum in the silent night, shocking.

"Is there something foreign at the bottom of this river?"

Zhang Shutang had never seen such a strange scene, and he was shocked and didn't know why.

The movement lasted for a minute or so, and gradually calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

"There are too many unexplainable weird events in this world, but I didn't expect to encounter it today, hehe. ”

Somehow, Zhang Shutang suddenly wanted to laugh. However, just when his laughter was about to spread quickly, it froze instantly, because.

The river water, which was not clear, was able to see the bottom at a glance in the blink of an eye! And he seemed to see some vague and complicated pictures through the river!

Zhang Shutang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he muttered in disbelief: "This..."

A ball of light suddenly appeared at the bottom of the river, dim at first like an energy-saving light bulb, and then quickly brightened. In just a few seconds, it can already compete with the sun and the moon!

Zhang Shutang blocked his eyes with his hand, unable to look directly at the light. A hint of uneasiness flashed through his heart, and he wanted to get out of here.

But the river swelled with huge waves several meters high, as if the hand of a demon had swept him directly into the water. The strange ball of light instantly gathered its light and disappeared.

The river was calm again, and no one would know what had just been discovered.

••••••

In the void, the strange light seems to be immortal, and the darkness cannot be eroded.

Incomparably far away from this strange group of light, a black shadow was approaching the group of light at an incredible speed.

I don't know how long, maybe for a long time.

The black shadow that was advancing at a rapid speed finally approached the strange light cluster.

The dazzling light pierced the darkness that enveloped the shadow in an instant, and only then did he see clearly that this was Zhang Shutang!

He was unconscious, but his body did not pause, like a cannonball blasting into the light, and the light vibrated violently.

He finally stopped, and the strange light that had not changed suddenly burst out with a light that was countless times more dazzling than before, and then quickly retracted.

Zhang Shutang reappeared, suspended in the void, wrapped in the ball of light. The strange light began to condense, dimmed, and finally disappeared into his body.

Darkness spread in an instant, taking over the territory that had been taken away by the Strange Light Cluster.

Everything in the void is invisible, but there is a "bang... Bang.." The sound of a heartbeat was clear and sonorous.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, "What is this place, why is it so dark?"

Zhang Shutang seemed to have had a strange dream, and now he woke up but didn't know where he was, which made him a little nervous.

There was no wind here, but it made him feel like he was 'chilling'. He touched himself, and his clothes were gone!

Zhang Shutang frowned, feeling very wrong. He stretched out his hand and groped around, but it was empty.

The aura of darkness swallowed him in an instant, and his heart became even more tense.

"Is there anyone who answers me!"

There was no answer, not even an echo.

It's dark here, and you can't see it even if you put your hand in front of you, and you can't hear anything except your own heartbeat and breathing.

Zhang Shutang tried to calm himself down, he groped around, trying to find the door to get out, but it made him more and more frightened, no matter where he went, it was empty, there was nothing.

Zhang Shutang gradually felt a trace of fear, and sat down with a butt.

When his hand touched the bottom of his buttocks, he jumped up again as if he had seen a ghost, and then he didn't dare to bend down and touch it.

"Ahh

Zhang Shutang couldn't help but exclaim, because he didn't touch the ground at all, he didn't touch anything!

"This... I.."

Zhang Shutang's mind was very confused at this time, which was completely beyond imagination.

He slowly squatted down and touched his feet, there was really nothing!

But why are you still standing here?!

"I'm dead, this is a place where only souls can go. ”

In an instant, Zhang Shutang's heart was like ashes, the past flashed in his mind, and there were still so many things waiting for him to do, but there was no chance.

Suddenly, a slender ray of light shone from beneath him, and the light gradually expanded, tearing a hole in the void.

Zhang Shutang finally saw where he was through the light that came in. But it seems that I can't see anything, because there is nothing, this is an infinite space, but there is nothing!

"Ahh

Just as he was shocked by the void he was in, his body suddenly lightened, and then with his exclamation, the whole person fell down the light port.

Zhang Shutang's body was constantly falling, his ears were buzzing, and something flashed in front of him. His mood at this time was indescribable, and he didn't have time to think about a series of things, and he was mottled and cluttered in his mind.

"Mom, my son promised you that you can't do it. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to give everything to repay you!"
