Chapter 15: Farewell to the World

In the blink of an eye, I once again found myself awakened like a soul possession, where was I?

I found myself in bed, but I was surrounded by darkness. I have something in my hand, and I pick it up and look at it. I was shocked to find that I was holding my mobile phone, which showed that the time was 11:51 p.m. on August 16, 2017.

What happened? I struggled to recall the last August 16th, and I remember sitting on a bench on the side of the road, a drunken girl with long hair leaning on my shoulder. But why did I suddenly come back to the night of August 16th?

I think my assumption is correct, the time and space I am in is shrinking at an accelerated rate, my time has been compressed again and again, and now I have woken up directly at twelve o'clock in the evening. My time has been compressed to the extreme, I almost didn't even wake up until the early hours of August 17th, and I have lost the whole August 16th.

I sat up suddenly, what should I do? What's going on? Why is this happening? Am I dying? At this rate, I'm sure there's no tomorrow left. I might lose consciousness after a few hours, and then, and then I might just be gone.

What are the aliens doing? Are they going to end their experiments? Or was it part of their experiment? Anyway, no matter what I do, I'm going to die eventually? No, I don't want to die yet, I'm only 28 years old, I'm not even married, I don't even know anything about the world in front of me that is killing me.

I turned on the light and the bedroom door, and I hugged Xiao Qi in the living room tightly and sat on the bed stupidly. The darkness scared me, the loneliness suffocated me, I was so scared, afraid that it would all end so suddenly that I wouldn't even be able to say goodbye to my parents.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly picked up my phone and dialed my mother's number, hoping to be comforted by the people closest to the world, or at least to say goodbye to them.

"The phone you are calling is off, please call again later." The last thing I want to hear came from the other end of the line, and I called my dad again.

"The phone you are calling is off, please call again later." Oh no! I was on the verge of a breakdown, I couldn't even reach my family, and I couldn't even say goodbye to my family until I died. I was almost collapsing, I could already feel some wetness in the corners of my eyes.

I sat on the bed in a daze, stroking Xiao Qi's smooth hair over and over again, and then the scenes I have experienced in the past 28 years come to my mind: from my memory to my first class, the toys my mother bought for me, my father's favorite meal, the cold milk my grandmother prepared for me in the summer, to my best friends in middle school, my first love in college, my junior sister in graduate school, to the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen, my favorite city, my first salary...

I remember hearing people say that when people are about to die, the course of life will be replayed in front of them like a slideshow, and that is probably the end of time. Suddenly, my heart became extremely calm, I don't know if it was those good memories that gave me inner comfort, or my recall, I began to find that I could accept my end very calmly.

I picked up my phone again and texted my mom and dad: "Mom and Dad, thank you!" You are the people I love the most! Good bye! "Hope they see my text messages and don't worry about me and don't feel sorry for me.

I opened my address book again, looking for the people I knew I knew and I wanted to say goodbye to them one by one.

I found Li Feifei's phone number, and I dialed it.

"The phone you are calling is off, please call again later." Still didn't get through, so I left her a message on WeChat: "Thank you!" Small buns! Good bye! Then, I dialed Zhang Han's phone again.

"Senior brother, what's the matter? Calling so late? "The call finally came through.

"I... I'm here to say goodbye to you, tomorrow, tomorrow I'm going to a far place, thank you! "I still haven't told her the truth, and she won't believe it.

"Oh, you're going on a trip? Where are you going? Zhang Han felt a little strange.

"Far away, thank you! Good bye! I hung up and didn't say any more.

Subsequently, I dialed the phone numbers of Zhou Tong, Xiao Luo and a few old classmates, most of them were turned off, and the only few people who answered, I said goodbye to them one by one, and the content was very simple, the same as what Zhang Han said, although they didn't understand what I meant.

Then I opened WeChat again and left a message to Ami: "Thank you! And thank you for the poem! I opened the circle of friends and sent a message of "Thank you!" to the circle of friends. Good bye! This is also a farewell to everyone, although we may not really see each other again, goodbye becomes goodbye, and the corners of my eyes become a little moist again.

Now I am probably the loneliest and most helpless person in the world, no one will believe my current situation, no one will understand, no matter how much I say, it is useless, in their eyes this is just an ordinary day. All I can do now is say "Thank you!" to them. Good bye! ”。

After making the call, I sat back and began to think back to the experiences of the past 20 days, I cut my hair, cut my fingers, bought lottery tickets, robbed banks, lost consciousness on the plane to the Maldives, and met strange uncles on the high-speed train home.

I suddenly remembered Zhao Yuqi, who sent me to prison, and I picked up my phone and dialed her.

"Hey... Feed... Who is it? "It's noisy on the other end of the line, apparently she's still at the bar.

"Hello, I'm a person you don't remember."

"Who?。。。 Feed? Who are you? ”

"I'm here to say goodbye to you, thank you, let me know myself again."

"What?。。。 I don't understand what you're saying ... Feed?... ”

I hung up, and even though she didn't understand, I should have thanked her, or at least said goodbye to her.

I thought back to yesterday, the girl who was quietly leaning on my shoulder. I picked up my phone, it was now half past one in the morning, and I decided to go to the girl, she was probably the last person I would ever see in this world, and I want to thank her for coming into my life in the last part of my life and being with me through these last hours.

By the way, there is also Xiao Qi, I want to bring Xiao Qi, she is my most well-behaved friend.

I quickly arrived at the place where I had met the girl yesterday, and I found her sitting alone on that bench in a daze. I put down the little Qi I was holding and walked over quietly, while Xiao Qi followed me quietly.

I sat down next to her, and she sat silently, not even noticing my coming.

"You've drunk too much, I'll send you back."

"No, I'm just a little uncomfortable and want to be alone." When she heard me, she turned her head to look at me and then turned back to her daze.

"It's not safe for you to be here alone." I continued.

"I'm just a little uncomfortable, I want to be alone and quiet, you go away." She began to get a little impatient, and she still retained the wariness that a girl should have in such a late night.

"I'm here with you." Seeing that I hadn't left, she got up to leave, and I took her hand.

"Let go of me!" She suddenly became a little anxious, and shook her hand. As she had done yesterday, she had thrown herself unconscious, almost falling to the ground, and I immediately stood up and helped her, and she turned her head to look at me, her eyes still so misty.

I helped her to sit down, and under the influence of the alcohol, she gradually relaxed her guard against me, and then leaned on my shoulder, closed her eyes, and she looked tired. At this time, Xiao Qi also jumped from the ground to the bench, came to my side, and curled up in a ball. The two of them fell asleep beside me.

I looked up and looked at the sky above me, where the few stars scattered in the sky were shining faintly, and the moon was on the other side of the sky, quietly watching us.

My heart is at peace now, I know that there is nothing I can do to change this, now I can only accept it calmly, maybe this is the so-called fate. I was reminded of what Ami had told me: "Time will give every existence an eternal place", perhaps this is the best consolation for me now, I think time is fair, no one has more time because of their status or wealth. Oh, that doesn't seem right for me, and time may not be fair to me. However, I was lucky enough to have such a magical experience, but I didn't cherish it, and if God could give me another chance, I would definitely find the answer I wanted.

Gradually, the street lights dimmed, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and the night became darker and darker. Maybe it was the night that gave me comfort, I didn't feel any pain, and in the last moments of my life, my heart was as calm as the night.

The wind blew in my hair, and gradually, my eyes became unable to open, and my consciousness became blurred, and I thought that the time had come, and I was about to say goodbye to this world, and I really wanted to say another word to this world:

"Thank you! Good bye! ”
