Chapter Eighty-Four: The Art of Despair
Tanaka Momoe smiled and looked out the window, "Although it does look a little like it." However, it was not without reason that it was built like this. ”
"Oh?"
Tanaka Baie turned his head and looked at Lu An, seeing that he was staring at him curiously, he really didn't mean to be perfunctory, so he continued to explain: "Six hundred years ago, human beings entered space, opening the prelude to the cosmic age. In fact, as early as that time, we knew that all myths and legends were just fabricated and fabricated, and that there was no moon palace, no moon goddess, no laurel tree, no rabbit, and no wolf on the moon. Even more depressing is the desolation of the moon and the absence of anything. ”
Lu An nodded, it is true.
"The Moon was the first extraterrestrial colony of mankind, and not only that, but many firsts, many, many, and many more, were done on the Moon. It was also said in the joint declaration after the Great Coalition that we had only said goodbye to the cradle and taken the first faltering step since the colonization of the moon. ”
Hyakue Tanaka said with a tone of reminiscence: "At that time, the square in front of us was the first public square built on the moon. At that time, the artists discussed building a monument,......"
"Is this the 'laurel tree' in front of us?" Lu An asked softly.
"Hmm."
Tanaka Momoe nodded and continued: "This may even be the first fully conscious memorial building on the moon, after all, before this, everyone was already stretched thin in order to open up the moon, and such a thing as a monument is not only a waste, it can be called a crime." By the time Chang'e cities were established, some waste was inevitable. ”
"At that time, it should have been around the time of the Great Union Wave, you know, those people......" Tanaka Baie sighed leisurely, and said in a fascinated tone: "They wanted to build an unprecedented building, and then there was this 'laurel tree'. ”
Lu An blinked, still not understanding why such an ugly monument was built.
"It's a 'tree that doesn't exist', a 'tree that isn't a tree',......, and it wasn't built for beauty at all, and they may have even made it look ugly on purpose. After all, what we have found and done on this planet is not beautiful. It was so desolate, we were struggling to get out of the cradle so close and so far away, and we were in danger of crisis, division, war, extinction, and so on......"
What Tanaka Baie said slowly, Lu An knew.
Although in the perception of most people today, the Great Union Wave is a devastating revolution, a glorious and great ideological movement, laying the foundation of mankind's current space age. However, the reality was that the slightest carelessness of humanity at that time would lead to a world war, and a single spark would be enough to set the entire planet on fire.
Perhaps, the generation that is remembered in history as "the most pioneering spirit of mankind" is not as high-spirited as people think. They came out of the clouds of the world war that wiped out the race at every turn, but the clouds in their hearts never dissipated.
Lu An's profession is information collection and confrontation, and the analysis of war information involves a lot of psychological content, and many people who have experienced war have experienced "post-traumatic stress disorder", and even some sensitive people will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Artist......
Darkness, death, ugliness......
Perhaps, their sensibilities complement their aesthetics.
"In fact, the artistic aesthetics at that time was called the Moon Shadow School, which was the first emerging art school in the human space age. It's a pity that it became history with that generation. ”
Lu An looked at the exploding head outside, although he still felt weird and ugly, but he could reciprocate with understanding and sympathy.
Since it is the trend of the times, no matter how you evaluate it, it is undeniable that what is behind this is the feelings of that group of people. They may be paranoid, they may be confused, they may be weird, but they have really lived like that, and they deserve the sympathy and understanding of future generations.
"I see. If you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have known. ”
Lu An admired and thanked Tanaka Baie.
Tanaka Momoe shook his head and said with some melancholy: "Actually, I also want to thank you." Usually, no one listens to me like that. ”
"Oh?"
"I'm just a singing star, aren't I?" Tanaka Momoe said with a slight self-deprecation: "How dare a singer compare herself with art? As long as you please your fans, you dare to use art to raise your value, how dare you be so cheeky? ”
Lu An comforted softly: "Some gossip is always inevitable. I care, but I don't have to care too much. ”
After a slight sigh, Tanaka Hyakue smiled and turned to say, "Actually, what they said is right. When I finished studying art history, I realized that there had not been a single singer among musicians for a thousand years, and I wondered what would happen if I made a name for myself. In pursuit of this, I ......, I have come to this point, only to realize that all this is not without reason. ”
I've lost a lot to get to where I am now. It's just that Tanaka Momoe swallowed the words. Confiding is not complaining.
Lu An lowered his head, looked at her gently closed and parted toes, and asked softly, "Why?" ”
Tanaka replied softly, as if talking to himself.
"Art should never be grandstanding, and even artists should keep their distance from their own art. Only drama can arouse great excitement among the masses, but what is the point of singing if no one has ever heard their own voice? Words, paintings, sculptures, and architecture can withstand the scrubbing of time, but the sound and image of dance cannot withstand such scrubbing. This is true of all art that cannot be separated from the artist himself. ”
"When I realized this, I was a little sad, but what was even more sad was that I could never go back to the beginning. Even serious talk about art has become a luxury. So, it's a good day, and you're willing to listen to me so much. ”
After Tanaka Baie finished speaking, he added as if he was sure, "I'm also lucky today." ”
So much? Luck?
Lu An didn't know how to answer anymore.
It's just a few sentences in total, isn't it? Are you lucky enough to be able to talk about art freely? Have you already ignored the experience of escaping death today? Girl, your luck came by easy.
Should I comfort her with pity, or should I comfort her with compassion? Or is it a joke to amuse her?
However, in this situation, Lu An had no choice but to sigh and remain silent.
Immediately, there was no word for the night.
The next morning, after Tanaka Baie woke up, he came to the living room and saw Lu An sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
After she sat down, she smiled and asked, "Is it the same way?" ”
After Lu An swallowed the food in his mouth, he nodded and said, "Well, yes." However, I guess we will be found this morning, and we will sneak out after eating in the morning. ”
Tanaka Baie was slightly surprised: "Huh? Outside, is it safe? ”
"It's been night, and if it's still not safe outside, we won't be much safer here. Moreover, although there is no complete martial law outside, and pedestrians are prohibited from appearing on the streets, there are many military personnel patrolling and guarding. In such a situation, we might be safer outside. ”
Tanaka Momoe nodded, she hesitated, "Then what should we do if we are cross-examined?" We ......"
She raised her empty wrist and looked at Lu An's empty wrist.
Lu An smiled and took out two smart brains from the chair next to him, and one was a woman.
"So, we have to leave early today, otherwise I don't care if we are caught as thieves."
Tanaka Baie smiled bitterly, "I really want to look like I can't object, won't we be found by positioning like this?" ”
Lu An shrugged his shoulders and continued: "I have temporarily destroyed the positioning device, if you don't turn it on, you can wear it on your hand and pretend to be. ”
"So where do we go next?"
Lu An turned around and pointed to the "explosive head" outside the window, and replied, "Go there." That square, I don't think the flow of people will be as much as it was yesterday, but it happens to be so crowded that we can wander in it. ”
"Just in the square today?"
"Let's take it one step at a time. Who knows what will happen next? Lu An shook his head and said, "After all, we didn't know each other yesterday. Big deal, we'll sneak back tonight. ”
Tanaka Baie hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay." Let's get out now, I ......, I don't want to be caught as a thief. ”
And just after the two left, less than half an hour, the manager of the Guanghan Palace Hotel received angry complaints from guests and news of the theft of employees' belongings. The angry manager immediately reported to the gendarmerie in Chang'e, where he rebuked the lawless thief for damaging the hotel's reputation.
It's just that the angry manager didn't expect that just ten minutes after he called the police, a large number of gendarmerie teams surrounded the Guanghan Palace Hotel, and the heavy armor surrounded the front and rear passages, and the flying armor was even denser between the floors.
The angry manager immediately stopped being angry and muttered to himself in a daze, "I just wanted to catch a thief." ”
It's just that the gendarmerie ignored the stunned manager, and after searching the inside and outside of the Guanghan Palace on their own, they dragged the poor manager to the door of the hotel.
And under the watchful eyes of the gendarmerie at the entrance of the hotel, the poor manager had already begun to tremble, and whispered to himself: "We really don't operate illegal projects, really ......"
At this time, someone lined up a group of gendarmerie soldiers, came to him with a smile and asked softly: "This gentleman, can you tell me in detail about the situation you reported before?" We're interested in what you call a lawless thief. ”
"Yes, yes, yes......"
The manager nodded busily like a chicken pecking rice. Then he told the story 1510. And when he saw the smiling man in front of him, but his brows furrowed slightly after hearing this, he almost immediately became incontinent.
Fortunately, the person in front of him didn't embarrass him, just patted him lightly on the shoulder, thanked him, and then turned his head and ordered: "Search one by one." If you find something suspicious, report it immediately. ”
So, the manager who was about to become incontinent stopped being incontinent, but immediately burst into tears. Search one by one, so that the reputation of your hotel is really complete.
What an abominable thief who deserves to be slashed by a thousand knives!
