Chapter 1 Transactions
"Deal?"
In the cold winter wind, Ye Feng was leaning on the railings on both sides of the road alone, and such a sentence suddenly appeared in his ears, I think people should feel weird. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Where did it come from?" Although Ye Feng felt strange in his heart, he didn't delve into it, he was still immersed in thinking, this boring life day after day made him feel a little tired.
Ye Feng is 21 years old this year, as for his appearance, he is ordinary, he can't be said to be very handsome, but he is not ugly.
He is a recent college graduate who currently works for a small company. Of course, the university I'm talking about here is not a prestigious university, but a junior college.
After three years in school, he graduated, but after graduating from one boring school, he waited for another boring.
He can already foresee his life, work, get off work, and so on, and then he may marry a wife, or have a child, when he reaches the age of sixty, he will retire from the company, and then he will have children to support him, and he will be accompanied by his wife, and in his twilight years, he may be alone in a wheelchair, quietly watching the sunset that is about to fall, just like his life, isn't it? Shine brightly, dedicate all of yourself, and finally disappear quietly, sinking into the night, without making a wave.
I don't think anyone will shout in despair about the sunset, the sun sets, it will rise the next day, and when a person dies, how many people will remember it except his relatives and friends?
But this is not what he wants, maybe you can say, he can fight, to work hard, but most people's lives, in fact, have long been destined, the struggle you want is just to climb on a small hill where you can see the apex, when you reach the apex, you will despair to find that those more precipitous peaks have long been occupied, and it is not how strong those people are, but people have been on that peak from the beginning.
But you may say, there will definitely be accidents, indeed, there are some people, they are very powerful, they start from the end, but in the end they are extremely human, and how many such people will there be? Most people end up doing ordinary jobs, living an ordinary life, and finally living an equally ordinary life.
If life rapes you and you can't resist, you have to learn to enjoy? What kind of truth is this, it has always been obedient and obedient! Go ****** go against the grain!
Ye Feng is not a saint, he can't bear it, he doesn't want to bear it, he can't get used to this world, but he is helpless, he finally knows why the ancients like to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, it is because this world is too desperate.
It's just that now in this world, there are no mountains and forests for you to live in seclusion, the mountains and forests used to have no owners, and now, everything has a master, the ground you have stepped on, the houses you see, almost everything you see has its own owner, you want to go to the secluded mountains and forests, sorry, this is private land.
When people are happiest, they are often in their childhood, when they are young, ignorant and fearless, so they live very freely, but as they grow older, the knowledge they have learned, the morality of human society, and the laws of the country and so on will gradually put on their bodies one after another.
It is true that human beings need these restraints, otherwise the foundation of society will collapse and the world will fall into chaos, but these things are like shackles made of steel, making Ye Feng feel difficult to breathe and making him struggling.
It's like being pulled by an invisible thread, Ye Feng feels like a marionette, he sometimes thinks, even if it's really a marionette, it's good, at least the puppet doesn't have its own thoughts, without thoughts, it won't be painful, and there won't be so-called troubles.
But he wants to struggle but is powerless, he wants to resist but has no way, he is not a terrorist, he will not ****** a citizen, all he wants is a free life, but in today's society, there will be no real freedom anywhere.
The winter sun shone palely, as if even it was shivering with the cold wind, and even more so for those who were under it.
The weather in the south is so strange, it gives you a ray of sunshine without giving you real warmth. It is as if a person on the verge of despair can see a glimmer of hope, so that he will not be truly hopeless, but it will never be allowed to be obtained.
In such weather, of course, there are not many pedestrians on the road, but Ye Feng just stood on the side of the road, his city leaned on the Yangtze River, this big river was rushing, I don't know how many years it had been roaring, every time Ye Feng had troubles, he would quietly lean on the guardrail, motionless and motionless looking at the gentle flow of the river, the rushing flow, for many years.
He has grown from a teenager to a young man, so many years have passed, and the river is still the same, and there are many things that have stood majestically and majestically for thousands of years like this river, compared to human beings, human beings are really too small, every time he thinks like this, the tiredness in his heart can be slightly relieved.
And today is obviously not among them, he looked at the river as usual, but suddenly there was such a sentence next to him: "Deal?" ”
Salesmanship? Ye Feng didn't look back, and replied: "I don't buy insurance, I don't want newspapers, there is no water purifier at home, and the toilet is good, so please let me be alone for a while." ”
For a while, the man's voice didn't sound, maybe he retreated in the middle of the difficulty, but maybe he was shocked by his words, but that's it, so that he can be quiet for a while.
But unexpectedly, after another while, the somewhat hoarse voice sounded beside him again: "Deal?" ”
Ye Feng felt a little impatient, thinking to himself who is this person, why is he so blind?
He turned, about to scold, but when he turned away, he was shocked, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
In front of him, there was a guy shrouded in a black robe, unable to distinguish the specific gender, but judging from the part of his hood, it was a skull inside, and in the depths of the black hole hole eye socket, there was actually an orange-red flame burning.
I'll go! cosplay? Is this the Grim Reaper? The degree of completion is quite high, hey!
"Ahem..."After a brief shock, Ye Feng decided to ask what this coser was looking for him.
"What are you looking for me?" Ye Feng's tone became calmer, it didn't seem that he was here to sell, but this dress was probably some kind of whole person show, if ordinary people saw this as if they could dress up as a fake and real god of death, they would probably scream in fright, but the self he met, let alone this, even when he saw a knife stretched out on his neck, he wouldn't frown.
"Do you want to... Take your own hands, destiny! The black-robed man asked.
Destiny? Ye Feng thought to himself, this is a big proposition, who doesn't want to control their own destiny, but fate is far above the nine heavens, can't be seen, can't be touched, in fact, whether there is really such a thing in the world Ye Feng doesn't know, but he is an agnostic, if there is really a god above the sky, then when he looks at the ant-like humans below, what is he thinking in his heart?
And if there is a god, then of course there will be fate, but Ye Feng didn't think about how to answer his question for the time being, so he asked instead: "Since it is a transaction, and this transaction can allow me to control my destiny, then, what do I need to give?" ”
Transaction, that is, both parties have to pay, since the other party has given such high chips, then in an equal transaction, Ye Feng needs to pay a huge amount.
"Your soul, I can give you a chance to take control of your own destiny, but if you fail, you have to give your soul." The voice of the black-robed man did not have a trace of emotion, as if it was mechanical, and it was so cold that it made people feel cold, but Ye Feng was not an ordinary person, he was just groaning, this was not like a joke, after all, this was beyond the scope of a joke, and from the moment the black-robed man appeared, the surrounding space became very strange.
Ye Feng didn't notice it at first, but when his gaze swept to the side casually, he saw a strange scene, and everything around him slowed down.
It's like watching a slow scene when watching a movie, on a yellow kudzu tree next to him, a withered yellow leaf falls, but the leaf falls extremely slowly, and at this speed, Ye Feng estimates that it will take a few minutes for it to fall.
And the Yangtze River in the distance, at this time, it seemed to be frozen, a wave stopped in mid-air, and it didn't fall for a long time, even the ripples formed by the river stopped, everything stopped at a certain moment like a picture scroll, with Ye Feng as the center, the farther away from him around, the slower the flow of time, but Ye Feng's eyesight was limited, and he couldn't see the situation farther away.
It seems that only himself and the black-robed man in front of him have not been affected, Ye Feng said in his heart.
Maybe it's an opportunity? Suddenly, such a thought popped up in Ye Feng's heart.
No, no, no, maybe there's some conspiracy? He then dismissed his previous thoughts.
But what do I have that he is so asking for, and if there is, maybe only the soul of his mouth, then, the deal?
Everything seemed to be back to square one, just when Ye Feng was thinking about whether to trade, the black-robed man next to him didn't make any movement, but the fire in his eyes occasionally jumped, in order to prove that he was not a dead thing.
Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind, and looked at the black-robed man, no, maybe it would be more accurate to call him a god of death.
"I trade!" Ye Feng said word by word, after he said this, his body seemed to be out of strength, his heart was beating violently, he knew that as soon as this sentence came out, his life might be completely different.
"Hehe, welcome to... New world, where your worldview will be completely turned upside down, put aside your common sense, liberate your mind, and as long as you can live forever, you will find everything you want here! ”
Death laughed frantically, he seemed to have emotions, and from this moment on, the surrounding time seemed to continue to move forward, the leaves fell, fell to the ground, and then were swept away by the wind, and in the distance, the waves of the Yangtze River hit the shore, and slowly retreated, revealing the water-soaked beach, the Yangtze River was mighty, continued to rush forward, and then merged into the river and sea.
And Ye Feng has disappeared in place, between this world and the world, and no one in the world can remember that once, there was a person named Ye Feng who lived in this world.
