Chapter 5 The Prelude

"Lake, Mr. Lake, you, you must be joking with me, right?"

Lin Hai looked at the black cat expectantly, but the black cat grinned and did not answer, Lin Hai's expression suddenly collapsed, and he looked back at the dilapidated garden carefully.

The fence on the periphery of the garden was no different from another garden, but on the fence of the garden, which was suspected to be a projection of his soul garden, there were still a few withered vines, the vines were very thin, and there were two or three fences wrapped around them, and from the dry leaves, they looked like morning glories or something.

Lin Hai recalled for a moment, it seemed that he really liked morning glory when he was a child, but this does not prove that this is his soul garden projection.

Looking at the garden again, the first thing that catches the eye is, of course, the three trees of values, but where Lin Hai's eyes are focused, there is only one tree, this forest sea knows, isn't it the common ginkgo tree in his hometown, I remember when I was a child, I liked to pick up the golden leaves under the tree as a bookmark, as if, I was looking for the most beautiful ginkgo biloba leaves all day long to give to someone, who is it? I don't even remember it.

This ginkgo tree is not small, the height is three or four meters, the crown is also quite large, and there are even a lot of fresh small leaves on the canopy, but the trunk of this tree does not matter whether it is the main trunk or the branches, it looks a little slender, and even looks a little overwhelmed with a sense of disobedience, the bark is bursting and wrinkled, and there are even a lot of moss occupying and suspicious blackened places, which looks like an old man who is dying of years and is seriously ill.

Lin Hai tugged at the corners of his mouth, shifted his gaze to find the other two trees of values, and then finally found two small trees that looked like shrubs among the withered yellow weeds in the garden, and what was worse was that these two small trees were crooked and sick, and their faces and leaves were yellow and curly, as if they were seriously lacking in water and nutrients, and they might hang up at any time.

"This, this..."

The black cat looked at Lin Hai's shocked appearance and felt very happy, and grinned:

"Isn't it shocking? Isn't it unbelievable? Unfortunately, this is the garden of your soul. ”

There is no harm if there is no comparison, if it weren't for seeing a vibrant garden first, Lin Hai might not feel that there is anything wrong with his soul garden, but now Lin Hai is suffering tens of thousands of tons of continuous damage...

Lin Hai barely stabilized his mind for a while, anyway, it was already a fact, he looked at the black cat suspiciously, and suspected that the black cat was deliberately arranging such an order to hit his self-confidence, if this was the case, then it could not be allowed to succeed, Lin Hai secretly gritted his teeth.

"That's... Mr. Lake, why is there such a big gap between the two? ”

"Isn't that obvious, maybe you don't believe it? The state of the garden of the soul represents the state of your own soul, and your garden is so dilapidated because you yourself are a rotten person. ”

Lin Hai twitched the corners of his mouth, although he was very reluctant to admit it, but what the black cat said was like an incomparably sharp knife, cutting through the camouflage layer of Lin Hai's self-deception, revealing the bloody truth.

That's right, Lin Hai is actually a big rotten person!

One has been worn away by the cruel reality, one has been shattered by countless failures, one has lost the courage to give up, and one is a rotten person who will only make all kinds of excuses for himself to escape the truth!

Lin Hai took a deep breath, forced himself to raise his head and look at his own dilapidated soul garden with wide eyes, and asked in a somewhat dry voice:

"And the biggest tree is my worldview?"

"Yes, you see, fresh leaves have grown!"

Lin Hai glanced at the triumphant black cat:

"Yes, I guess it's all thanks to you!"

"This is the only sentence you posted tonight that matches your sixty-point IQ!"

Lin Hai couldn't help but roll his eyes again, other than that, there didn't seem to be much he could do:

"What's that little tree that's almost a man tall?"

"I guess it's values, right? This tree is so beautiful, it looks like a nine-curved coiling dragon, hehe..."

Lin Hai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, this distorted value is no wonder to others, just because he went with the flow and gave up his position and persistence countless times, and it was good to have these left, at least he didn't fall to the ground, and he was almost a person tall.

"And what is left waist-high is the outlook on life?"

"Hehe, that's the only answer, looking at the withered and broken top, it seems to be still there... Short and long! Wow-haha..."

The black cat's mocking laughter rubbed back and forth in Lin Hai's heart like a blunt knife, which seemed to be more painful than being pressed to the ground and rubbing his face!

A life outlook that is still growing up?

This is indeed very funny, Lin Hai himself couldn't help but let out an ugly laugh!

The black cat looked at Lin Hai, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his golden green eyes.

"Fortunately, there are still a few carnations and a lot of small chrysanthemums, and I finally retain a trace of vitality."

Lin Hai said with some self-deprecation, the black cat laughed and didn't have an interface, Xu Xingkong himself could guess without the black cat explaining that the carnation must represent the memory of his parents, as for the wild chrysanthemum, it will make Lin Hai's mind vaguely float the face of a young playmate, and the face of a childish little girl.

Is that... Who? Why can't you remember the name all of a sudden?

But those playmates, now they are all over the world, it seems that they have never been in touch again, even if they meet during the Chinese New Year, they are just laughing and saying a few words of unnutritious nonsense to each other, and they can't even add a WeChat to each other.

Memory, sometimes it's just memory, forget it, don't think about it, it's useless to think about it, they can only be some embellishments in their soul garden now.

Lin Hai shook his head and turned his gaze from his own soul garden to another unfamiliar soul garden. The contrast between the two is so strong, one vibrant, the other lifeless.

The scene in front of Lin Hai's eyes gradually faded, and then the display screen of his second-hand computer and the dim light reflected on the display screen resurfaced.

It's back.

What about black cats?

Lin Hai turned his head to look around in surprise, and then, found the figure of the black cat on the windowsill, the eyes of the black cat were green, like two ghostly lights, the small figure shook leisurely, and kept exuding a strange atmosphere.

"Well, that's pretty much the same."

"Wait, it looks like you haven't told me what to do, at least you have to tell me how to do my job, right?"

"It's very simple, tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, you can choose the only channel that can be connected in the channel options, remember, no sooner or later, and then... You'll be sent to another world near your own Soul Garden, and you'll just go inside. ”

"That's it?"

"That's it, it's very simple, even a pig can do it."

"But... Hey? Where's the hell? ”

Lin Hai stood up abruptly and threw himself to the window to look down, but due to the light difference, it was dark outside and he couldn't see anything, but he could hear the sound of something hitting the green belt downstairs, and then in a trance, he seemed to hear someone cursing for the difficulty of controlling the four-legged animal.

Lin Hai couldn't help but laugh a few times, but then he thought of something again, and shouted loudly in a certain direction in the dark:

"Hey, you haven't told me what to do!?"

"Neurotic, it's called spring in the middle of the night! Grass! ”

The black cat didn't answer, but the grumpy neighbor upstairs yelled viciously, so frightened that Lin Hai quickly shrank back.

Lin Hai sat on the bed depressed, if it weren't for the fact that he could feel the reisuke on his little finger and be able to exhale that transparent interface at any time, Lin Hai even suspected that everything that happened before was just his own hallucination.

Lin Hai sighed, shook his head and shook off the messy thoughts in his heart, and once again called out the interface of Lingsuke, and found that there was a new message sign flashing in the communication bar, Lin Hai hurriedly clicked on it, it turned out to be a novice help file sent by the black cat, Lin Hai exhaled heavily, and read it carefully word by word.

......

On the side of the road at the entrance of the residential area where Lin Hai lived, a dilapidated van with the words "anti-leakage and wall" was illegally parked on the side of the road, in fact, it was not only this car that was illegally parked on the side of the road, although there was a sign on the side of the road that "prohibited parking and illegal towing", but no one enforced the law at night, and these car owners who wanted to save more than a dozen yuan in parking fees unceremoniously occupied half of the road.

The inside of the van was dark, but when a black cat circled down the road, two heads emerged from under the seat of the van.

"Gone? Why do you always pack cats when you take goods? ”

"Let's go, then who knows! Maybe it's his fetish, let's not worry, we'll catch up later, it's the third tonight, this thing is really diligent. ”

"Hehe, can you not be diligent, this is related to whether you can be promoted to branch manager! Have you confirmed the contact information? ”

"Wait, the network signal is not very good, there is, Lin Hai, twenty-six years old, the ID number is..... Again, did you see someone start a Soul Garden view? And the initiator is definitely not that goods? ”

"Sure, it was initiated by a soul I haven't seen before, okay, just the two of us, can we take it so seriously? Hurry up and send the information over, the person who came to interview this person in person must be his old downline. ”

"Not necessarily, maybe he's putting a smokescreen, but it's not our turn to think about it, okay, the data is sent successfully, naturally someone will confirm and monitor the target, let's go, follow him."

"It's almost eleven o'clock, and this thing is not going to rest."

"Hehe, for the position of a large district manager, what is it to sleep less!"

"Why do you think this thing always likes to fight with us? It was rumored that our regional manager was planning to resign to become an explorer, and he didn't know it today, what did he do earlier, and he had to wait for us to submit a promotion report before he immediately followed up to compete for the position of regional manager, which was deliberate, right? ”

"Hehe, you just transferred from Cuixing, I don't know, this thing and our head are long-cherished enemies, in the words of the earthlings, it is called messing up the bones, the matter between them... Hehe, it is said that it started hundreds of years ago when he was still in business school, and the cause seems to be because of women, in short, whatever one person insists, the other will definitely oppose, one wants it, and the other will not let him get it no matter what. ”

"Damn, this is full of feelings!"

"Don't dare to talk nonsense, be careful to hear that you are wearing small shoes! In short, let's just do our own thing, and if we don't know anything else, we don't know. ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, but this copy business is obviously in charge of our department, so it doesn't matter if this thing is done like this?"

"Proper competition is blind to it, anyway, it is the company that benefits, and only we small employees are unlucky."

"Yes, Ma, I don't know when Lao Tzu will be able to become a section chief."

"Hehe... Stay up, don't move the nest above, how can you and I have a chance to get ahead, besides, it's not just you and me who are waiting for these opportunities, let's go, be careful, hang up to the car behind. ”

"Damn, hundreds of thousands of cars are also parked on the side of the road, this old pick! You deserve it, let's go, this broken car isn't ours anyway, haha..."
