Fantasy - "Encounter" (II)
Today, after Wang Shuting got off work, she went home as usual. On the way, I passed by a psychology shop. Seeing the peculiar decoration at the entrance of the store, I inadvertently walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the area inside was not large, a small room was surrounded by long silk, and there were purple gauze curtains, separating the room from two spaces, and there was a chair in the middle with a red carpet on the chair, and an ordinary chair outside.
"Mortals have seven emotions and six desires, obsessions, greed, hatred, and resentment, and you must have fallen into one of them if you can walk in!" A sudden voice startled Wang Shuting, and now she has a cold sweat behind her. But soon, she calmed down.
This is the legendary "before you see the person, hear the voice first"? Wang Shuting muttered in her heart.
Looking at the source of the sound, a handsome-looking man in an antique green coat was somewhere in the room.
Wang Shuting was taken aback again, there was no one when she just entered the door, this room is so big, where did he come from?
"You, are you a human or a ghost?" Wang Shuting said scaredly.
"I am Mozhu, someone who has obsessions, you can dream of me. But if you have greed, hatred, and resentment, I will go to you! ”
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Shuting was puzzled.
The man chuckled, his wink, "Let me take a look at your past!" ”
He stretched out his white and slender jade hand, waved his long sleeves, and said slowly: "Your name is Wang Shuting, born in a scholarly family!" I have suffered from asthma since I was a child, and I have an attack after shortness of breath. The elders in the family bully you because you are a girl. Your father gambled and lost all the family's possessions, so you couldn't even go to school. Mother only knows how to go to work to earn money, and she doesn't care about you. You have been brilliant since you were a child, and you can create your own poems and songs at the age of ten, and you are known as a talented girl! At the age of twelve, he suffered from major depression, and until today, he has not been cured! ”
"How do you know?" Wang Shuting is incredible.
"I'm Mozhu, I'm a demon. In the world, there is nothing that demons don't know! Wang Shuting, tell me yourself, what do you want? Is it self-confidence, or is it money? Or ......," the man tempted.
"If I want, if I want both!" Wang Shuting said tentatively, at this time she was both surprised and suspicious in her heart. Because, she believes that pie in the sky will never be so simple.
"What do you mean?" The smile in the man's eyes was deep.
"I want self-confidence, money, great talent and the permanent well-being of my mother!" Wang Shuting said excitedly.
"Yes! It's just that the more you want, the greater the price of exchange! Tell me, what do you get in exchange? The man sat on the seat and said lightly.
Scold! Sure enough, the pie in the sky is not simple! How can it be so cheap! Wang Shuting sneered in her heart.
However, fortunately, now she no longer cares about her life, if she exchanges this hurried hundred years for short-term happiness, it is worth it! In this way, it is not in vain to come to the world. It's just, I don't know, can lives be exchanged?
After Wang Shuting heard this, she was silent for a long time before she said leisurely, "Life, is it okay?" ”
"Yes!" The man readily agreed
"There are thousands of prosperous floating worlds, but they are all false. But in the end, I got stuck and couldn't extricate myself! In the past half of my life, I have seen too many conspiracies in the city, and at the beginning, I always wanted to keep my original intention, but I was not forced to be like this step by step. Therefore, I don't want to stay in this world, so I will trade my fifty years of life! Change my wealth for a moment, vanity for a while! Wang Shuting said with emotion
"Interesting! At such a young age, you have learned a lot. You are very talented, and it would be a shame if you die young. So, take these fifty years of life, cut them in half, and exchange your twenty-five years of life. ”
"Break it in half?" Wang Shuting was puzzled.
"No hurry, this is just the beginning. You'll come back! A grim smile leaked from the corner of the man's mouth, as if he was planning something, but it seemed mysterious and unpredictable, making people a little puzzled.
As soon as these words fell, Wang Shuting instantly returned to the house.
In the evening, Wang Shuting was reading at home when suddenly, the doorbell rang. After Wang Shuting opened the door, she saw a lady in a long coat and trousers standing at the door.
"Hello, you're an online writer Kefan, aren't you?" Warm greeting from the lady.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Wang Shuting responded politely.
"Oh! yes, I'm the editor-in-chief of 17k! As he spoke, he took out his business card and handed it to Wang Shuting. She continued: "Your work 'Dead Life' has become very popular on our website, and many directors are willing to direct your masterpiece and make it into a film or television! And today, I came to you on purpose to talk about signing a contract, you can take a look! As he spoke, he took out a wrapped contract from his bag.
"Good business! This contract is my promise of your money and self-confidence, sign it, and from then on you will be prosperous and rich, and enjoy inexhaustible! The man's voice sounded in Wang Shuting's ears, and after finishing speaking, the voice gradually disappeared.
Wang Shuting pretended to look at it seriously and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll sign!" ”
When the lady heard this, she smiled and complimented, "You are such a cheerful person! If you sign this contract, you believe that it will be a fire soon. ”
After the two chatted with each other, the lady took her leave.
