Chapter 2 Chen Changsheng's sad past

Chen Wusheng remembered that he should be lying on the ground. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When I woke up, I found that I was lying in bed.

He sat up slowly, feeling a little dizzy in his head. When I reached out and touched my head, I noticed something strange on my hand.

On the thumb of his right hand, a black ring was put on at some point.

Chen Wusheng is sure that there has never been such a ring at home. He never wore it either.

Unknown black metal, without any patterns on it, plain and even the luster is hidden.

"This ring looks cool, doesn't it?"

A sudden sound of speech interrupted Chen Wusheng's attention.

He looked up, but found no one in the room.

The bed curtain was open, and the room was so big that it was clear at a glance.

Chen Wusheng got out of bed and opened the door again.

There was no one outside either.

"Close the door first, it's still a bit messy outside, don't go out. I just woke you up, and I don't want you to faint again. ”

The room is talking.

Chen Wusheng felt his heart beat violently.

A sense of fear that I had never felt before came over me.

It seems that even the hairs on his arms stand on end.

Chen Wusheng wanted to run out of the door, but his feet suddenly stopped obeying. He seems to have lost control of his body.

Soon, he was convinced that he couldn't control his body.

Because then, the hands of the body closed the door.

"I'm sorry. So that you can listen to me quietly. I can only take control of your body for the time being. ”

Chen Wusheng wanted to twist it his thigh.

Because he felt that he must be dreaming.

But he couldn't do anything.

"Trust me, it's not a dream."

The other party seemed to be able to hear him.

Chen Wusheng said in a trembling voice, "Who are you?" Why did you come to me? ”

The voice was the only thing he could tremble now.

He didn't even feel his heartbeat.

"Before I came to you, I was thinking about how to explain it to you. But it's really hard, because it's a bit complicated. There was some distress in his voice.

Chen Wusheng felt that this voice was not malicious, and he was shocked for a while.

And he has confirmed at this moment that the source of the sound is in his body, and this voice still controls his body.

I can't escape it anyway.

"You speak slowly, I'll listen." He took a deep breath and felt like he was in a ruin, but he still couldn't hide the trembling of his voice. (Author's note: In fact, the so-called deep breath at this time is just his feeling.) Because including the respiratory organs and vocal cords, they are not under his control at this time. Their conversation is really just a communication of consciousness in the head.)

"Well, I'll try to say what you understand." The voice hesitated for a moment.

"Huang Yi's novel "Xun Qin Ji" should be available now, I remember you have read it. Is it right to borrow it from the bookstore at the entrance of Zhangping Junior High School? ”

"Yes, I watched it at the beginning of the summer vacation. What do you mean by you say you remember? Chen Wusheng noticed the word used by the other party.

This question, you will get the answer in a little while. Because that's what I'm going to talk about next. Xiang Shaolong in "Looking for Qin" traveled back to the Warring States Period through time and space, right? Then you should know what a crossing is. ”

"You mean, you're from the future?"

The same can be said. But the truth is a little more complicated. I'll start from the beginning, but I want you to try not to interrupt me when I'm talking, even if you don't understand, and wait until I'm done before asking questions. ”

"Okay."

The following is the story of what Chen Wusheng heard, about that voice and his origin.

According to the voice, the first half of the story was also told to him by others.

That person is called Pangu.

The time when the story begins is vague, because no one knows how many years ago. Including Pangu.

At that time, the universe was like an egg. Heaven and earth are connected. Pangu called this egg Chaos.

One day, chaos suddenly cracked.

No chicks were born.

But heaven and earth were separated. (Author's note: Note that the heavens and the earth here are different from what we can see.) )

Then, Pangu was born.

He was not born between heaven and earth.

for he is the God of the heavens and the earth.

He is this day and this earth.

No one knows how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.

But Pangu was lonely.

So he learned to create.

It's like it says in Western mythology.

God said, "Let there be light, and there was light."

God saw that light was good, and He separated light from darkness.

And Pangu said that someone should come to accompany me through this infinite loneliness, so there are human beings.

Pangu said that all things should grow with human beings, so there are countless living beings.

In order to let the human beings and all things in the world and countless living beings that they have created live in the best place. He carved out the best part of his body for them to perch on. To distinguish it from some of the concepts mentioned below, we will refer to this space here as the main plane.

Since then, Pangu's life has been colorful.

His consciousness often incarnates as a human being, traveling and having fun in this world.

However, the good times were short-lived.

Everything has changed since the birth of human civilization.

You must know that human beings are the highest beings created by Pangu, and their forms and wisdom are all created by Pangu according to the most ideal state in their hearts. And they also have the core ability of Pangu: creation.

For a long time, human beings have not only created a material environment suitable for their own survival, but also inadvertently created countless spaces with life.

Let's say a novelist conceives a magical world and writes about it. And has a myriad of readers.

Then quite a few people believe in the existence of this world after reading it.

The world really came into being.

That's the power of faith.

A person's beliefs are not enough, but when the number of beliefs accumulates to a stage that causes qualitative change. He has the power to create space like Pangu.

This is a product of civilization.

Including movies, TV series, anime. Later, they all became the main force in the creation of space.

Pangu quickly realized the problem.

Those newly created spaces, attached to the human world, occupy more and more resources. Let's call these new spaces subplanes for a moment.

If you compare Pangu to a person. This part of his body that houses the main plane for humans is the most important organ in his body, like the heart. Later, this main plane was attached to countless sub-planes. It's like the heart is cancerous. (Author's note: Many people don't know that the heart can also get cancer, so let's do some popular science here)

These subplanes are constantly drawing nutrients from his heart and thriving. It even began to devour the main plane.

Follow this trend. One day, these countless subplanes will replace the existence of the main plane. and even eventually devoured Pangu.

Just when Pangu was at a loss and watched the cancer eat away at the disease. A turning point came.

"That turning point is us." Voice.

"What does this have to do with me? Who are you sacred? ”

"In the world of the main plane, my name is Chen Wusheng. In a sense, I am the future you. But here you are Lord and I am guest, and you call me ...... Chen Changsheng. ”

In the world of the main plane, Chen Changsheng grew up ordinarily and lived an ordinary life. It wasn't until I graduated that I made an unusual choice.

Become a freelance writer with no guarantees.

No salary, no bonuses.

At first, I relied on writing articles for magazines in exchange for some manuscript fees. Later, he tried to write novels. But it has not been influential.

"So you're the worst writer, and you don't have the ability to gather human faith to create a new world." Since listening to Chen Changsheng's story, Chen Wusheng has been very calm. At this time, he was even more sarcastic, as if to avenge the embarrassment he had been frightened.

"Actually, what you're laughing at is your future self." Chen Changsheng smiled bitterly.

Chen Wusheng was speechless.

After graduating from university, Chen Changsheng has been living a life of only food and clothing for nearly 20 years.

If there is no accident, you can take on the previous one, and add a sentence after the two ordinary, the ordinary death.

However, the accident finally happened.

Because of staying up late to write and smoking excessively, 33-year-old Chen Changsheng found out that he had lung cancer during an examination.

After learning of his condition, he did not choose to receive treatment. donated his only tens of thousands of dollars in savings to the Hope Project. Then he chose to stay at home and wait for death.

"So you've died of cancer?" Chen Wusheng said.

"Actually...... I was starving. Because the money has been donated......" Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed to speak.

Chen Wusheng was completely speechless at this time. But he still asked: "From beginning to end, you didn't talk about your family." It's understandable to have no wife, but what about parents? ”

"My parents passed away after I graduated from college."

"What? How did they die? ”

"A car accident." Chen Changsheng's tone was a little low.

Chen Wusheng was silent.

When Chen Changsheng found that he could see himself lying on the bed. He knew he was dead.

He looked at his corpse quietly, and suddenly felt that his life was really boring.

And waiting is a very boring thing.

He's waiting for a bull and a horse, black and white, or something.

Isn't it all written like this in novels?

When a person dies, the soul is drawn to another world. Reincarnation, or reincarnation.

Chen Changsheng hopes that he will be able to change his way of life in his next life.

However, neither the bull head nor the horse face, the black and white impermanence, or the Grim Reaper came.

Then he got tired of waiting and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he found his body still there.

He wanted to smoke, but found that there were no more cigarettes in the house.

He hadn't smoked in a long time.

It's not because I'm afraid the cancer will get worse.

If you have already given up on treatment, why bother.

It's just that later on, the feeling of coughing as soon as I smoke is really painful.

Coughing continuously, it's like trying to cough out the lungs too.

He is not afraid of death, but only of living in pain.

Before he died, he was too hungry to walk. At this time, I felt that my body was unusually light. I don't even want to cough anymore.

"Sure enough, it's a death to relieve a thousand sorrows." He laughed at himself.

I went downstairs to buy cigarettes, and when I entered the convenience store, I remembered that when I bought the last bucket of instant noodles a few days ago, I had completely run out of money.

On second thought, he was now a ghost, and no one would see him.

So he swaggered and picked out a pack of soft China and prepared to leave.

But the guy at the convenience store stopped him.

"Sir, you haven't paid yet?"

Chen Changsheng asked confusedly, "Can you see me?" ”

The little brother patted him on the shoulder. Then snatched back the cigarette from his hand.

"Dude, did you drink too much or take drugs?"

Chen Changsheng could clearly feel the weight of that hand on his shoulder.

So he began to wonder if he was hallucinating because of his illness.

As he walked up the stairs to return to the messy rental house, he saw at the top of the stairs that the landlord himself had opened the door with a key and walked in, and then quickly shouted "Dead man!" He stumbled out.

Seeing that someone was there, the landlord immediately pounced. "Dead man! Dead man! Someone in this house is dead! ”

When he saw the face of the man he was holding, the landlord fainted.

Chen Changsheng ignored him and walked into the house by himself.

Not an illusion.

Because his body is still there.

Then, Chen Changsheng went out again in a daze.

He didn't know where to go. Just walking unconsciously.

When walking past a team of square dancing uncles and aunts.

An old man who was dancing happily stopped him.

He said his name was Pangu.
