Volume 2 Tongxin Garden Chapter 268 The Story of the Stars
Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She grew up dependent on her mother, but not because her father died or left - on the contrary, if that was the case, so much the better.
When the girl was young, in order to send her to school, her mother had to rent a house, and she was busy day and night, just to earn living expenses for the mother and daughter. The girl rarely sees her mother in a day, and only sees her mother once in the morning and once in the evening, because these are the times when the mother needs to prepare breakfast and dinner for the girl. At noon, she couldn't see her mother, because her mother needed work and couldn't come back, so every time her mother would make the lunch first, and when she got home, she would eat it herself. Of course, sometimes it's too late to make it, and girls can only make their own instant noodles to eat.
But in fact, there is nothing wrong with this, although the girl is very hard, and the girl's mother is also very hard, but, as long as the man is not there, everything can be endured.
Normally, the girl's father would not be at home, and he would spend all day in the casino with his group of fox friends and dogs, and then go home after losing all his money. In his absence, the girl and her mother could enjoy a moment of peace, but once he returned, he would be accompanied not only by the smell of alcohol, but also by endless violence.
Because he doesn't work himself, every gambling money is demanded from his wife, and as long as his wife refuses to give him money for some reason, then his fist will fall on her unceremoniously.
Growing up, the girl had witnessed more than once when her father bullied her mother, and sometimes her father, with red eyes, would come towards her when he noticed her hiding in the corner.
But every now and then, the mother, who was lying on the ground, would always try to hold on to his feet.
"Don't ...... Beat my daughter ......"
"You slut still have the strength to speak? It seems that being beaten is not enough? β
The girl heard another wail from her mother's mouth, and at last she could not help but rush out of the door and run all the way down the street.
She fled there...... But brought back to the police. When a police officer followed her back to her home, he was stunned by what he saw.
Before he entered, the room was quiet, and when he entered, he knew why it was so quiet.
The girl's mother fell to the ground, her head pillowed with a pool of blood, and the girl's father let her sit at the table next to her and drink.
The girl did the best thing she could do, and although she was embarrassed to cry on the road and ask passers-by where to find the police, her mother was able to survive and stay with her for longer.
The police eventually imprisoned the girl's father for intentional assault and helped the girl's mother divorce him. At that time, the little girl was already eleven years old, which means that the girl's mother spent at least eleven years with this man, such time.
Why didn't she ask for a divorce?
Because the girl's mother was a foreigner, at that time, a child needed to go to school in a place and needed a local household registration certificate, and the girl's father lied to her that he was a local and that only with him could the girl continue to go to school here.
However, the police later told her that she could let her children go to school in the local area without a local hukou, but it only required some formalities.
Also, the man wasn't a local either, he came here from out of town, and he'd been cheating on her.
The girl's mother was hospitalized for several days because of that injury β it stands to reason that a head injury of that magnitude would not have healed without a few months, but the girl's mother applied for discharge after only a few days in the hospital.
There are two reasons she gave, one is that it will cost a lot of hospitalization fees to continue to be hospitalized, and the other is that if she is hospitalized, she will not be able to work, and her family will have no source of income.
But it seems that there is only one reason, and that is money.
The policeman who followed the girl to her home that day was an unmarried young man who had taken good care of both mother and daughter since that day. He helped the girl's mother pay for her medical bills and took care of the little girl's daily life while her mother was hospitalized and her father was in prison.
The girl, as well as the girl's mother, were grateful to him. The girl even felt that she felt a real father's love in this man, but it seemed that her mother and the policeman uncle himself did not think so.
The girl was still dependent on her mother, and the policeman's uncle often came to visit them, and every time he came, her mother would say to her:
"It's Uncle Prospective here, call Uncle Hello."
"Hello uncle!"
But each time, the police uncle would stay only for a short time, and before leaving, he handed an envelope to the girl's mother.
"The state has benefits and subsidies for poor people like you, and I applied for it for you before. In the future, every month, I will transfer the subsidy I have received to you, rest assured, I will not steal it. β
This sentence was said by the policeman's uncle, and every time he handed over the envelope to the girl's mother, there would be a red stamp, which looked very formal. The girl remembers that there will also be a red seal on her award certificate, a red stamp, as if it is a kind of certification, as long as there is this stamp, then the thing will never be fake.
When my mother heard this, she accepted the envelope.
"Thank you."
"Nothing, that's what I'm supposed to do."
When the policeman's uncle left, my mother opened the envelope and glanced inside. Then she would take out the money, and the girl would see that it was also a red wad, as red as the seal on the envelope. And after taking out the money, the envelope will be received by the mother in a drawer.
"Great, Mom, I didn't know that the country still had such a policy, Mom, you don't have to work so hard."
"Yes, there is such a good policy, I don't know."
After the mother finished speaking, she stroked her little head and smiled softly. But how could she read the other meanings hidden in her mother's smile?
The girl is growing up day by day, and her academic performance has always been excellent. The night before the college entrance examination, the policeman's uncle came to visit them again.
"Ruobai is going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, I really didn't expect that when we met for the first time, the little girl who was crying and snotting was going to college in a blink of an eye."
At the dinner table, the policeman's uncle said with a smile. At that moment, the three of them looked no different from an ordinary family of three.
"Yes, when Ruobai finishes college, Mom and I, everything we can do will be done. At that time, I really wanted to take a good rest. β
"You usually work hard, don't you? Didn't I tell you everything, the state has subsidies to apply for, although the money is not much, but it should also be able to reduce some of the burden on you, there is no need to work so hard. β
"Hmm...... I usually save that money, I don't dare to spend it indiscriminately, and every time I have to spend a penny, I feel very guilty. β
"What's the guilt about?"
"Mr. Zhun, I'm not stupid, I know the money ......"
"Eh, okay, okay, if Bai has an exam tomorrow, don't say anything superfluous. Come, Ruobai, my uncle specially bought you roast duck to eat today, you have to eat more, and this, walnut milk, I heard that it is to nourish the brain, I hope you drink it, and you can perform better in the exam! β
In the end, the mother said nothing, and the girl pretended not to hear anything. At the dinner table, they talked about everything, and talked freely, until she said:
"I don't want to call this surname anymore, can you change my last name?"
"It's been eighteen years since you called this name, and now it's too late to change it?" (Mother)
"Why is it too late? I just don't like this surname, Mom, I want to have the same surname with you...... Alternatively, it is okay to have the same surname as the prospective uncle. β
After a period of silence, the policeman's uncle suddenly burst out laughing: "It's enough to have your mother's surname, how can you still have my share?" β
The mother did not laugh, but shook her head and said, "If you say no, you can't do it." β
"Why? Doesn't it mean that I still have a relationship with him? I don't want to have anything to do with him! β
The girl was a little hysterical, and her mother looked at her like this, and finally chose to be silent.
"Ruobai, I know your thoughts. Mom has worked hard for so long, do you hope that you can grow up early and repay your mother as soon as possible. β
Uncle police is very good at mediating at such times, and he can defuse awkward situations every time.
"Huh?"
"Good boy, tomorrow is the most important exam in your life, eat well and rest well, and strive to be admitted to a better university. By the time you graduate from college, you'll already be an adult who can take charge of your own business, and wouldn't it be better for us to talk about these things then? β
After hearing this, the girl looked at her mother in a trance, and did not continue to insist.
She has always known that the police uncle is good to her and her mother, and she also hopes in her simple heart that her mother can restart a family with this uncle, but what her mother herself thinks, even if she is also a woman, can't figure it out.
Now calm down and think about it, I really said something stupid just now.
But it doesn't matter, who hasn't done anything stupid in high school? Compared with writing love letters to classmates with secret love, the stupid way of making a fool is more upscale.
It's just a joke.
This night is destined to be engraved in the girl's memory for a lifetime, not only because it was an opportunity to relax in the tense and busy high-pressure time before the college entrance examination, but also because it was the first time she felt the feeling of being a family really together.
The girl adjusted well, but unfortunately, even then she failed to perform exceptionally in the examination room, and still only played at her normal level.
Her college entrance examination results did not surprise everyone, she was so good, at best, it was only enough for her to choose one of the Four Pearls.
The so-called Four Pearls refer to the four most special universities in China, which not only firmly occupy the top four in the so-called domestic elite rankings, but also are internationally famous.
Among them, Qinan University is the most outstanding, known as the first of the four pearls, and the students who come out of this university will become leaders in a certain field in the future, whether it is politics, business, science, and art.
The girl ended up choosing Qinan University, which was not a surprising choice. Only the girl's mother never imagined that one day her daughter would be so far away from her in order to study.
So, during the last two months of the summer before going to school to report, the girl took care of her mother wholeheartedly at home. Because she has been doing housework and other things since she was a child, because her mother usually works outside the home and rarely stays at home, the so-called care is actually not too much extra work.
My mother has worked hard for more than ten years and is already tired. In addition, two months later, her daughter will go to school in another country, and she also hopes to spend more time with her daughter. These two reasons prompted her to quit her daytime job, which she had to spend with her daughter; But she kept her night job, because at night her daughter slept and she could go to work to earn money.
Due to the special nature of their work, the police uncle basically has no vacation at any time, so he can always spend little time with them.
Until before leaving, when the girl said goodbye to her mother at the train station with her suitcase, he could not come to the train station to bid her farewell because of work.
Some people say that the rumbling of the wheels of the train is a lullaby for the wanderers who have left home, so that they can fall asleep early on the train, so that they will not cry because they are homesick.
For girls, this lullaby is both useful and useless. It was useful to listen to the sound of the wheels of the train, and she did fall asleep; What didn't work was that after waking up, she found that she was still in tears, because in the dream, she still dreamed of her mother.
Why not tell me about the night before she left, and when she was about to leave tomorrow, the girl took the initiative to get into her mother's quilt and wanted to sleep with her.
"Mom, do you remember, when I was a child, you often hugged me like this and coaxed me to sleep."
"Yes, a guy who used to be so small is now leaving his mother and going to college in a distant country alone."
"Mom, let me sleep in your arms again before I leave."
"Silly girl, as long as you want, you can go back to your mother's arms at any time."
The girl that night seemed to be back to her childhood, she remembered every night her mother coaxed her to sleep, and naturally remembered that every time her father beat them, her mother would hold her in her arms and comfort her.
But now, everything is different, and university is a new beginning, and each new beginning means that they are one step towards a better tomorrow.
"You can't slack off in college, you must study hard."
When I was in high school, I often heard such a voice, they told you that as long as you passed the college entrance examination and went to college, then everything would be very easy.
But in reality, college is not as good as they say it is. While it's true that college doesn't have a tightly packed schedule like high school, what it really means is that you won't be reminded what to do and when. If you choose to have fun after class, that's fine, no one cares about you; If you choose not to listen to the lecture in class, hide in the back of the classroom and play with your mobile phone, that's okay, no one will care about you; You choose to find a partner, in order to feel the sweetness of love with the other party, even at the expense of skipping class, that's okay, no one will care about you.
What? Do you find that you can't keep up with your classes, and you don't know a single question during the exam?
Congratulations, no one will care about you.
So, self-discipline is a quality that you must have in college, if you really want to learn something in college.
And when she arrived at college, this girl who had just turned eighteen realized for the first time that her charm value seemed to be higher than she realized.
Not only did a senior lead her the way as soon as she entered the door, but when she passed by the propaganda point set up by the club in the square, she would be directly surrounded by the propagandists inside, persuading her to consider joining their club.
She didn't find anything attractive about her, and in terms of appearance, she had the same black hair and black eyes as the other girls. I also have two eyes and a nose, and my facial features are not lacking or many, no matter how you think about it, there is nothing particularly different from others. As for being said to have fair skin since childhood, it's just because the body is relatively weak that the body is pale.
But there were so many men who came to talk to her that on the first day of school, she had to hide in the dormitory to avoid more right and wrong.
"Obviously, when I was in high school, no one came to me."
But in fact, when she was in high school, many people already cared about her. It's just that for various reasons and reasons, I don't dare, can't, or am unwilling to confess my heart to her.
But to a certain extent, they do seem a little cowardly, don't they, obviously the girl in their hearts is about to go to another city, and maybe they will never see each other again in the future, but in this case, they still dare not convey their thoughts to each other for various reasons.
Maybe it's out of inferiority, maybe it's missing the opportunity, maybe it's thinking, it's okay without her, anyway, the world is so big, there are many other girls.
But no matter what the reason is, since she has missed it, it means that at this moment, her destiny road is no longer intertwined with them. Or rather, those guys are destined to have more to do with her.
Too much charisma is not always a good thing. For some reason, the girl's roommates don't seem to be particularly friendly to her, and they always form their own clique, except for the girl's place.
But it doesn't matter, she didn't come here to make friends, she had only one purpose from beginning to end, and that was to learn knowledge.
After all, if a girl is not looking for rational, fundamental things, then why should she choose the Department of Physics?
The roommates around her deliberately excluded her, and she didn't want to pay attention to the boys who came to talk to her, and over time, she gradually got used to such a lonely life.
It wasn't until one day, in an elective class taught by a business school professor that she auditioned, she forgot to bring a pen in a hurry and borrowed it from a strange male classmate next to her, and thus gradually ended this lonely daily routine.
The process of borrowing a pen, there is nothing to say.
"Classmate, I forgot to bring a pen, can you lend me any extra?"
"Oh, okay, here you go."
"Thank you, I'll pay you back after class."
It's just something like that, anyway, isn't it?
But why is it that because of this borrowing pen, it can change the entire second half of the girl's college journey.
What kind of connection between people will be sometimes inexplicable, and in the end it can only be associated with fate. The boy and the girl are from the same place, not only in the same province and city, but even in the same district, and the high schools they attended are not even very far apart. It sounded like an interesting coincidence, but when she learned about it while talking to the other person, she suddenly felt that it was time for her to make a friend.
In the vast sea of people, to be able to meet a person of the same age who comes from the same place as himself, can't this be said to be God's arrangement?
So this time out of class, it doesn't mean the end of the fate between them. The girl exchanged contact details with him so that they could have more contact at a later time. But for the girl, the guy is an interesting friend, and she doesn't have any other ideas.
But even if she thought so, the others would not agree - that person was the boy's childhood sweetheart, she studied in the music department of the art college of Qinan University, and showed full enthusiasm for this boy.
The first time the girl saw this childhood sweetheart was when she was eating in the cafeteria with her new male classmate. She appeared next to the two of them and asked the boy angrily.
"Brother Xiaofei, who is she?"
"It's Sumi, she's a new friend of mine who recently met and is a student in the School of Physics."
"Oh, did you just throw me aside for her meal?"
"Ah...... How is that possible, Sumire, am I such a heartless person? I just thought you weren't interested in this kind of thing, so I didn't introduce her to you. β
The girl who listened silently on the other side quickly realized something. It seems that in the future, he will have to keep more distance from this male classmate, so as not to be misunderstood by the people around him.
"This classmate, please don't get me wrong. I didn't know him for a long time, but I only learned by chance that we were fellow villagers, so I made friends with him. However, if you don't think that's good, I promise you won't do it again. β
"Huh?" The childhood sweetheart heard the girl talking to him, and he also turned his head, "Hmph, I'm pretty good at talking, who knows what you think." It doesn't matter, what you want to do, and it has nothing to do with me, why should you stop your behavior because of me, right? β
Unexpectedly, the male classmate actually said happily:
"Don't say that, although it really doesn't matter to you what we want to do, I can't help but take care of your emotions."
"You! Not...... Brother Xiaofei, you big fool! β
After the childhood sweetheart said this, he turned around and ran away, and the male classmate was still sitting in place with some doubts.
"Me? Where am I stupid. β
"You're really stupid."
"What?"
When the girl saw that he was sitting still, she simply stood up and hurriedly chased after her in the direction she had run away before.
When the girl caught up with her, she found that the other party was hiding in the shadow of the building and secretly wiping her tears, which really distressed the girl.
"Classmates? Are you crying? β
When the other party heard her voice, he turned his face, and the tears on his face and the red bags under his eyes were undoubtedly revealed.
"What are you doing here, do you want to see my jokes?"
"How could I be so bad-hearted, I just can't worry about you, so I just followed up and took a look. Looking at you like this, you really misunderstood, right? β
"I, what can I misunderstand? Even if you're Xiao Fei's brother's girlfriend...... So what can I say......"
"Me? How could I be the girlfriend of a classmate? I've known him for less than two days. β
"Words are not classmates......"
"What's wrong? Do you think it's a bit too close? β
"No, Brother Xiaofei is a compound surname, a single name Fei, you call him that, but it's a mistake."
"Hmm...... Is that so? There's no way, the guy who has just known each other for two days definitely doesn't know as well as your childhood sweetheart. β
"Do you know me?"
"I don't know you, but ah, Yan Fei often mentions you to me, he said that he has a good partner who grew up together, and is a beautiful woman with developed artistic cells and has been popular with everyone since she was a child. The first time I saw you, I decided that the person he had repeatedly mentioned to me before must be you. β
"Hmph, where would Brother Xiaofei praise me like that......"
"He does, he just doesn't have a brain at times, but he's a kind person. Since you grew up with him, you should know better than I did. β
After these few words, the other party's tears really stopped. It's just that in the face of the girl, she still has a proud posture.
"Hmph, don't think that if you come to comfort me, I'll be nice to you. Let's talk about it first, I only have Brother Xiaofei in my heart, and I won't give up on anyone who wants to snatch him away. β
"Hehehe~" the girl let out a light laugh, "No one wants to snatch him away from you, but there will be someone who wants to snatch you away from him." β
"Huh!? Who, who? β
"Although you can't see it now, it doesn't mean that you don't have it, so you have to be careful."
"Hmph, what if there is, my heart will always belong to Brother Xiaofei, and it is impossible for others to be shaken!"
Gradually, the two girls communicated more and more with each other, although the first meeting failed to get off to a good start because of a misunderstanding between them, but in the days that followed, the two became close friends.
So much so that the boy was running out of place.
After that, the girl's entire college life was only these two friends. Although there are not many friends, they can know each other, in front of them, the girl can say what she wants to say, and sometimes she will say some stupid things without thinking about it, but it doesn't matter, because real friends can get along well without putting too much effort into each other.
It seems that her college life is quite good, her mother and uncle will give her monthly living expenses, her material desires are very low, she almost never buys anything, and she only goes to the cafeteria to eat the cheapest food. So she doesn't have to do any extra work to support herselfβcompared to the miserable lives of the protagonists in other inspirational stories, her college life is easy enough.
Although she doesn't like makeup, she is often secretly ridiculed as a village girl by the girls in the same dormitory, but she doesn't care. A village girl who understands physics is better than a group of city people who can only put on a show, right?
Her hobbies are also looked down upon by the girls in the same dormitory - girls don't like to sing and dance, they don't like to go shopping and partying, and they actually like to dismantle things. From ordinary lighters to old-fashioned radios, the girl seemed to have dismantled all the mechanisms she could get her hands on.
As for the things she hasn't dismantled yet, such as her mobile phone, which her mother bought for her before she went to college, she usually takes good care of it for fear of breaking it; There is also a medium-sized teddy bear with a voice device in it that allows the teddy bear to speak, and the reason why it is not opened is because it is a gift from a friend on her birthday, and she also loves it and does not want to destroy it.
In any case, the future seems to be full of hope. Her grades were among the best in the whole college, and she also won some scholarships - not many because she needed to apply for scholarships in college, and she always felt that she was not good enough, so she was embarrassed to take the initiative to apply for scholarships. Even this can't change the fact that she is excellent, as long as she waits until she graduates and finds a good job, she can liberate her mother from the current fatigue.
However, the professional nature of quantum physics may be more inclined to theoretical research. After graduating, she may stay in the college to become a professor or focus on research. But in either case, there is a need to continue your education. But she felt that she couldn't wait that longβwouldn't continuing to study for a three-five-year graduate school mean that she would have to delay her time from being able to work for a few years, and in the past few years, she would have to work for her mother again.
Therefore, looking forward to being able to enter the society as soon as possible and become self-reliant and self-reliant, she once seriously considered that after graduating from the bachelor's degree in four years, she would be directly employed.
But all of this came to an abrupt end in the last year of college. The shadows of the past were wrapped in boundless nightmares, shattering all her beautiful dreams in an instant.
"Ruobai, do you have time to go home now?"
"What's wrong, uncle?"
"Your mother, she...... Admitted to the intensive care unit and her condition is dangerous......"
"What do you mean? Uncle, Mom, what's wrong with her? β
"Your father, he was released from prison, and the first thing he did when he got out of prison was to find your mother and take revenge on her......"
On the other end of the phone, the policeman's uncle's voice was gradually inaudible, and she didn't know whether the other party's voice was really getting quieter and quieter, or her consciousness was becoming more and more detached from reality.
At that moment, it was as if she was in a world of absolute silence, where everything around her seemed to have fallen into a bottomless whirlpool, so that time could not be perceived.
The mother died, the day after she came to her mother.
I didn't expect that the last day I spent with my mother would be like this...... The mother lay quietly on the hospital bed, covered with tubes connected to various instruments, which made a dripping sound all the time.
On the fourth day after returning home, my mother's body was ready to be buried. There were only two people who came to attend the funeral.
That's the girl herself, and the police uncle.
"I'm sorry I didn't protect her well......"
"No, uncle, you've already protected your mother once, and it's all my fault...... It's my daughter, it's useless at all, and it's dragging down my mother's ......."
I've been in college for so long, what are you complacent? Do you really think that by making two friends, you can change the fact that you are maggots crawling out of the sludge......
The mother's body lay quietly in the coffin, the lid of which had not yet been closed. Looking at her mother's eyes, which would never be opened again, the girl held back the tears in her eyes.
"Ruobai, cry if you want to. Perhaps, a chance to cry again in my mother's arms...... There will be no more ......."
The words of the policeman's uncle made her unable to suppress her emotions any longer. The specific events that happened after that, her memory was only vague, she only remembered the last time she held her mother's hand, the hand that was once so warm, now it can only bring her a cold touch.
Then, I probably cried a lot.
The girl's father was sentenced to death for intentional homicide. But it was a few months later, the girl had long since returned to college, and she didn't care what happened to her fatherβshe never cared about whether the man lived or died.
Whatever punishment he will receive, Mother, is already dead.
But this is the last year of college, and she was determined to look for a job after graduation, and her heart began to waver - not so much shaking, but confused, her mother is no longer there, and the strong desire to get a job disappeared in an instant.
Why should I get a job? Who will spend the money earned from employment?
The death of her mother made her feel so lonely in this world for the first time. In the past, she could not care about what the people around her thought at all, because she knew that no matter how much the people around her hated her, there would always be people in the world who would like her and support her.
But now, that person is gone.
This emotion gradually distorted her, and she began to cater to her roommates, and began to force herself to give up her preferences in order to fit in with themβto fill the loneliness in her heart.
It wasn't until her two real friends, the boy from the business school and the girl from the art school, noticed her anomaly and began to question her.
At first, she didn't even realize that she had completely changed. She used to be a quiet but energetic girl, although she is not the type who likes to catch people and say a lot of things, but when communicating with friends, she can also talk eloquently, and even take the initiative to make some funny jokes with friends.
But now, in front of the two of them, the girl became silent.
It needs to be explained here that girls are cold to them because they regard them as real friends, so they can unscrupulously show their bad emotions in front of their eyes; And in front of roommates, you can talk casually, in fact, you just force yourself to behave like this, only in this way can you integrate into their social circle, and you can barely get some proof that you are not lonely in the dormitory.
"Ruobai, you don't look the same as before, what happened?"
Under their questioning, the girl simply confessed everything she had experienced before, from when she was a child, she and her mother were abused by her father, to later the police uncle saved her and her mother, and then along the way, she successfully went to the top university with the reputation of the first of the four pearls, but at the last moment of graduation, her mother actually ......
"So that's ......" After hearing what happened to her, the female student from the art school silently walked up to her and took her hand, "I heard that people's hands and hearts are connected, and when two people's hands are connected, each other's hearts can also be connected." Hopefully, I can help you share some of your sorrows. β
"Thank you, little Mimi."
"Speaking of which, what about the pendant you usually wear on your body?" (Male)
"That's it...... Sorry, I haven't been wearing it lately, I have some and don't want to see it......"
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be ......"
"It's because it's that thing that I don't dare look at it. Every time I see it, I think of my mom and she used to ......."
The girl's thoughts suddenly flew back to the day three years ago, the day she told her mother at the dinner table that she wanted to change her surname, in fact, her real heart was to hope that her mother could officially start a family with her police uncle. The relationship between the two of them, how can they not understand the feelings for each other that they have suppressed in their respective hearts.
But that day, until the end, my mother did not give an answer.
"Maybe mom met him too late."
Ju Ruobai muttered like this, she felt unfair to her mother's tragic life in her heart, why did she let her mother meet that man in her youth, why did her mother finally meet her true person, but in the end, she didn't even express her heart.
Perhaps it was at this moment that she had already re-decided her future path.
She wants to defy the world, she wants to change her mother's predetermined fate.
"Ruobai, are you feeling better now?" Seeing that she had not spoken, the female classmate asked worriedly.
"Well, I'm much better. Now that I've figured it out, I used to feel lonely because I was confused. As long as I find my goal again, then my life is enough to rush forward desperately in order to achieve this goal, and I don't have the heart to care about it anymore if I am lonely or something. β
After listening to it, the male classmate didn't understand what she meant, but judging from her tone, it should be that she has come out of the grief of losing her mother? After all, there was light in her eyes again at this moment.
"Well, Ruobai, it's good that you could think so. As long as you find a new goal and spend the rest of your life to achieve it, then no matter how many hardships and obstacles you encounter along the way, you will be able to endure it. β
The male classmate affirmed the girl's words, and the girl turned her head to look at the two of them, and suddenly smiled brightly:
"Thank you, with you always by my side, my college life will not be so boring."
At the end of the day, the white was back to its original state. It seems that everything is back to normal and even starting to work in a good direction. And in fact...... It's true, Ju Ruobai's study has become harder, and even she is not satisfied with the amount of knowledge she has learned in class, and she will find additional ways to learn more knowledge after class, and the most common way is naturally to go to the library to read books.
But the direction of her study, in addition to her major courses, seems to have some other things, such as mechanical manufacturing-related knowledge.
Physicist and inventor are two completely different positions, the former is defined as a person who studies the theories of physics, and the latter is defined as a person who is able to create new and often complex mechanical devices.
But if one is able to become both a physicist and an inventor at the same time, then things start to get complicated. There used to be a lot of people who were keen to study a type of machinery, popularly known as a perpetual motion machine, but in the end they all failed without exception, because a certain law of physics proved that this was impossible.
After a few hundred years, there was a boom in the research of a kind of machinery, and countless people put their energy into the research and manufacture of this kind of machinery, but in the end no one succeeded, so later, physicists invented some theories to prove that this kind of machinery could not be invented.
But in fact, whether this kind of machinery can be manufactured or not is still a big question mark. This kind of machine is the time machine, or colloquially called the time machine. With the help of a time machine, people can travel back in time to go back in time or jump to the future, but perhaps the former is more tempting for people - the future will always come, or there will always be someone who can see the future, but no one can ever go back in time.
To jump from today to tomorrow, you just need to get some sleep; If you want to go back in time from today, you just need to sleep, and in your dreams, maybe you can go back in time.
After the death of her mother, the girl was lost for some time. Mother is like a star in the night sky, as long as she keeps chasing her, even if there is endless darkness around her, the girl will not lose her way. And the death of her mother made the light of the guiding star completely disappear in this night sky, and the only light in this darkness was lost, and the girl lost her own direction.
But now, the girl has found another star again.
To achieve her goals, the girl must learn more, study more, and practice more. That's why in the last year of college, girls suddenly put all their energy into their studies.
But this is clearly not enough. The girl's grades were excellent, and she was selected to be eligible for graduate school, but she was going to give up.
You will definitely ask, what kind of fool would choose to give up the qualification of a graduate student, and it is the qualification of a top university like Qinan University.
But first of all, it needs to be explained that the problem of going to graduate school will be for her - since the death of her mother, the girl's living expenses have been completely borne by the police uncle, who she feels that the police uncle is willing to take care of him like this even if he doesn't care, even if he doesn't care, she feels ashamed.
If you devote yourself to study and research, you will not be able to work, and if you don't have an income, you will have to rely on others for all your expenses.
Even if her mother has died, she can choose to work, which can at least reduce the burden on the police uncle; But if he wants to go to graduate school, it means that the police uncle will need to take care of himself for a few more years.
But in the end, she firmly chose the path of graduate school, although she is sorry, but it does have to trouble the police uncle for a few more years.
"I'm sorry, uncle, but I promise you, it will only take a few years for all your efforts to be rewarded."
Only by entering a higher learning stage and learning more knowledge and skills can it be possible to build that impossible machine with your own hands.
Time machine, the girl wants to use it to change the past.
However, in the second year of the girl's graduate studies, the policeman's uncle, also died.
He is a police officer, a profession that means always being accompanied by danger, but after years of getting along, the girl mistakenly thinks that the police uncle can always be safe and sound.
But in fact, this is the case......
"It seems that there is one more reason why we must build that machine."
But without the support of her uncle from the policeman, how would she get money to support her living expenses?
Fortunately, she is usually very frugal and has saved some money. It stands to reason that she is so good that she should have been able to get a scholarship, but as I said before, the scholarship needs to be filled in by herself, and the girl doesn't like this link very much, because she needs to list the honors she has won during the filling process, and write a self-evaluation of a few hundred words, and these two things are the last things she wants to do, so in fact, she has never taken the initiative to apply for any scholarship.
But when life is really poor and comes to an end, she has to change, right?
That's right, after she lasted for half a year, she finally decided - to borrow money from friends.
Unlike her and the female classmate who went abroad to study in the art college, the male classmate from the business school chose to go back to inherit the family business after finishing his undergraduate studies.
The reason for this is that his father believed that the qualities needed to be a good businessman could not be learned in school. Instead of letting him learn those secretive theories in school, it is better to directly let him enter the society and begin to accept the pressure and tempering brought by formal work.
In the most difficult times, the girl finally had to turn to him for help, and the help sought was of the most ordinary kind, that is, monetary assistance.
I thought that I hadn't seen each other for a long time, and only relied on my mobile phone to maintain contact, and the male classmate had long forgotten the friendship they once had, but I didn't expect that as soon as the girl made a request, the male classmate immediately responded.
He promised quickly, and the speed at which he transferred the money was also very fast.
"I don't have anything else to help you, so if you need any money, just let me know." People always say that rich men exude an inexplicable sense of security, but is there some truth to it?
The author of this article himself does not know, it is just a casual writing, please don't pay attention to this.
But the girl was not the kind of person who did not know shame, and she solemnly replied that all the money received from him was a loan, and she would pay it back to him later.
But what did she actually think? In fact, it's the same as her idea of the police uncle, if she really created a time machine and changed the past, then maybe, in the changed world, there will be no scene where she borrows money, and of course she won't have to pay back.
It's a perfect abacus, but what if the time machine can't be made?
In order to study the time machine, she needed a site where secret research and fabrication could be conducted, so she borrowed room 407 from the laboratory building in the name of conducting physics research, and often conducted secret research there.
In the manufacture of any machine, it is inevitable to talk about the topic of parts. The purchase of parts also required money, and she was only an ordinary graduate student, so it was difficult to apply for enough funds, so she had to turn to the male student in the business school again for help.
The male classmate is very nice and gentle, he always gives the money to the girl as soon as she asks for help, and as long as the girl doesn't want to answer, he won't continue to ask the reason.
"I'm sorry, classmate Yan Fei, I didn't intentionally want to use you as an ATM, as for the money, I will definitely find a way to return it to you in another form."
In fact, she felt that she was very close to her goal, but every time she reached the last critical moment, she always failed.
"Obviously, all the data calculated is not wrong, and the assembly of the machine is not wrong, what is wrong?"
Every time the machine was turned on, the building would lose power, but fortunately, she anticipated this in advance and did something to the circuit, so that the administrator did not easily find out that she was the culprit of the power outage.
But this is not a long-term solution, and if this continues, the administrator will notice her sooner or later.
"There's not much room left for failure......
But even if she knew this, she had no choice, obviously according to the calculation, everything was already the most correct and suitable, why couldn't she succeed?
She was in a bad mood, and one day she chose to go out for a walk to relax her mood and organize her thoughts at the same time, when she walked to a forest path in the school, the strange guy appeared.
"For the sake of his own delusions, he locked his life in this small academy. Miss, do you know that the back of you staying up all night studying under the light alone will feel distressed anyone who sees it. β
"Are you talking to me?"
The reason she asked was because the strange fellow's eyes were fixed on the tree beside him when he said this.
"There's no third person here, miss."
"Yes. Who are you, and what do you mean by those words? β
"I have a lot of names...... But none of that matters. Miss, let me guess, you can't be researching a device that can't exist, right? β
"You know? Why do you know? β
"The sun is the brightest thing in the eyes of all, because as soon as it appears, the whole sky turns white, and as soon as it appears, there is only its presence in the sky, and everything else is obscured by its light. Miss, did you know that at night when the sun is not there, the stars will show the way for those who walk on the night road, but on the night when the stars are inhabited, most people have already fallen asleep, which also means that only a small number of people can see the light emitted by the stars. β
After saying this, the strange man actually turned his eyes to look at the girl.
"Miss, I see the light emanating from you. It is not as dazzling as the sun, but it is not as dazzling as the sun, and it exists only in the dark night when the sun is not there, and when the sun rises again, it silently hides itself. β
"Are you complimenting me?"
"Yes, miss, you are like a sky full of stars, helping people to find the sun for a new day. You like this make me want to help you and fulfill your wishes. β
"You mean, you want to help me make that thing? Well...... Thank you, but that thing was really hard, and now that I'm calming down, I suddenly feel like a fool who is actually on the spur of the moment, delusionally trying to study something that can't be made at all. β
"No, miss, you've done everything, and you can't succeed because 'they' stop you."
"What did you say?"
"Time travel is not allowed by the Lord of the World, and after He is asleep, his World Administrators also keep this law in mind, preventing all possible time travel, so you can't succeed. But I must say that time travel is not something that no one has ever done, it's just that every time time time time travel happens, the manager makes changes to the world to cover up his dereliction of duty. β
"Really? How did they do it? β
"It doesn't matter how they do it, miss, the important thing is that I can do it for you."
"Can you help me?"
"That's right, miss, anything in the world has the possibility of happening, tell me your wishes, as long as your wishes are strong enough, then I will seize that glimmer of possibility for you."
"My Heart's Desire......"
The girl recalls in her mind all the things she has experienced since she was a child, and at a certain moment, the screams and cries of her mother seem to come from somewhere in the air, which is rooted in the deepest memories of her heart, the traces of her young age, and the traces of being repeatedly soaked over and over again.
"I want to change this unfair world and choose a better path for my mother."
"Are you willing to do anything for this goal? Are you willing to pay any price? β
"Yes, I do."
"I see, I see. Your desire is indeed extremely strong, and the thing that embodies all your hearts is your pendant, can you lend it to me? β
This pendant meant a lot to the girl, and she hesitated for a while whether to give it to such a strange fellow she met on the way, but in the end, she was persuaded by the strong desire in her heart to take off the pendant and give it to the other party. The mysterious man held the pendant in the palm of his hand, and after a few moments, returned it to the girl.
"Put it back on, I've infused it with the power to protect you from being discovered by the Administrators as you travel through the planes three times. But keep in mind that there are only three chances, and each time you're able to go back in time, it's only five minutes. Also, never open the pendant until you have fulfilled your wish, or the power will be gone. β
When the girl took the pendant back, she did feel that the pendant had become a little different, but it was not that there was any change in appearance, but that she suddenly had a new feeling when she held the pendant.
When she came back to her senses, the mysterious man was gone.
The girl was a little skeptical, but she decided to go back and try it right away, and on the way back, she met an acquaintance.
"Ruobai, I'm looking for you." It's a male classmate in business school.
"Yan Fei classmates? What are you doing here? β
"Didn't I say it, I'm here to find you. Have you eaten? β
"Ah, not yet."
"Do you want to go together?"
"I'm in a hurry, so I won't eat."
She was about to walk past him when he suddenly put his hand on her shoulder.
"That's not going to work, Ruobai. I guess you haven't had dinner in days, right? β
"Hmm......"
Before she could quibble, her stomach had answered for her, or at least the gurgling sound would indicate that she was very hungry now.
"What have you been up to lately? I borrowed money more often, and I didn't eat dinner. And your dark circles, did you stay up late last night? β
At the dinner table, the girl who was picked out a bunch of questions by the male classmates opposite didn't know how to answer his questions at all.
"Hehehe, I'm staying up late doing experiments, I don't know why, I always feel like when I'm doing experiments, my mother is watching from the side, so I don't feel tired at all. As for the specifics of the experiment, I don't know how to explain it to you...... But don't worry, I have absolutely nothing bad to do, though...... Each time it starts, the laboratory building will be powered off once, affecting others, but ......"
In the end, the girl still didn't know how to find a step for herself on this problem, and finally had to say: "But as long as the experiment is successful, everything will be fine!" β
When the male classmate saw her say this, his eyes were full of firmness and determination, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
"Although I don't know what you're studying, Ruobai, sure enough, you still haven't come out of Auntie's departure now, right?"
ββ¦β¦ It was my only mother, how could it be so easy to come out. β
"Well, I know, if my mom had left me so early, I'm sure I wouldn't be where I am now. But Ruobai, the person who left will not come back no matter what, I think you should try to pay more attention to the person who is around you at the moment......"
ββ¦β¦β
The girl knew that the other party was comforting him, but she couldn't hear the extra meaning in his words. Seeing this, the boy became a little anxious.
"Ruobai, I mean to say, no matter what, you are not alone, because I will always be by your side. Well, I mean, if you don't mind, I can always be there for you, it'......"
"I understand."
The girl's words made the boy suddenly happy, and he thought that the other party understood his thoughts. But her next sentence made him realize that he was thinking too much:
"Because you're my best friend."
"Uh-huh, yes. I want to say, in fact, the relationship between friends and above is not impossible to ......"
"Friends above the relationship...... So, what about partners? I promise that once my research has the final results, I will definitely cooperate with you, and we will make a fortune at that time! β
"Oh, oh! That's pretty good. β
Sure enough, in the end, the boy didn't succeed in conveying his heart. But if he knew in advance that this was the last time he saw her in this world line, would he be braver? Would it be more straightforward?
When the girl separated from him, she stared at his distant back and silently said sorry in her heart. She has long been aware of his intentions, but unfortunately, the person who should really be by his side is still studying abroad.
"I hope you don't meet me next time."
The girl returned to the laboratory, and according to the mysterious guy, she only needed to wear this pendant to escape the surveillance of the world administrators and successfully return to the past, but each time it was only five minutes.
"In five minutes, what will happen?"
It doesn't matter if these things are any of these things, the most important thing right now is to try it out first.
As usual, she held the small device in the palm of her hand and pressed the start button. The lights in the room were all extinguished in an instant due to the power outage, and only the mechanism in the girl's hand was releasing an arc of electricity in the dark room.
βοΌβ
After a brief blank of consciousness, the girl actually realized that she was really in a different place.
She went back twenty-seven years, and it would be a year before she was born.
"I'm going to find a way to stop my mom from meeting him."
If Mom hadn't met that man, she wouldn't have married him and endured that kind of abuse. There is only one thing that the girl wants, and that is to change her mother's miserable life.
So, the girl stopped her young mother in advance and led her to something elseβaccording to her mother, she met the girl's father at a meal, so the girl should not have met her father as long as she prevented her mother from going to the restaurant.
The five-minute time limit was fast approaching, and when she thought she was done, she was back in the future in an instant. When she realized this, she found herself still sitting in the lab, and the lights were bright, and with it, some new memories flooded into her mind.
"This ......"
But what puzzled her was that it seemed that the world in the future still hadn't changed much, and for some reason, her mother still met her father at another time and place, and then married him.
"Why ......"
"Why, miss, you can't be so stupid."
"You're that mysterious fellow!"
"Miss, think about it first, if you can really prevent your parents from meeting each other, or even from getting married, then, where are you going to come from?"
"I ...... yes, if they don't get married, then how are they going to give birth to me......"
In an instant, she realized the problem she had been missing, but this question was the biggest problem. I am proof that my mother and father are together, and as long as I exist, it must mean that my mother and father will meet at some point in time and give birth to her.
"Miss, do you understand? Even if you have a time machine and you can successfully go back in time, you can't change anything. Because your very existence is predestined, you cannot change the ending that your mother will meet your father. β
"I don't believe it."
"If you don't believe me, try again, but don't forget, you only have two chances."
The girl didn't hesitate too much and instantly started the machine again. According to the new memory, the mother was prevented from going to the restaurant, but was left on the side of the road one night without an umbrella and could not return home, and was later rescued by a passing man, who was her father.
In the same way, this time she decided to help her mother bring an umbrella in advance, so that there would be no chance that she would not be able to go home because it was raining and would have to be rescued by someone else. But in the same way, when she returned this time, she found that her mother had still met her father after that, and she didn't seem to have changed anything.
Again, she came back in the lab, and the weirdo was waiting for her beside her.
"Miss, as long as your father is alive, your mother will always meet him. This is her destined fate, and you can't change it. β
Originally, the girl lowered her head and didn't say a word because of two failures, and when she heard his words, she couldn't stop feeling sad in her heart.
"But I'm just not reconciled...... Mom, she's such a kind person, it's worth it, it's right to have a better life......"
The girl was already crying when she spoke, and it was obvious that she was weeping at this time.
"Have you ever thought about going back to 27 years ago to prevent your mother from meeting your father, but to going back to a closer time to prevent your father from being released from prison from taking revenge on your mother?"
"No, I think, it is necessary to make my mother happy from the beginning. If I only changed the events of that time, then my mother would still have to suffer those things before, and I don't want it to be like that......"
"I see, miss, with all due respect, your wishes are enormous, in other words, you are greedy. But it's better this way, there's nothing wrong with being greedy. Miss, I believe that you must be willing to pay any price in order to realize this wish, right? β
"Of course."
"Hmm...... Miss, have you ever thought that as long as your father is dead, then it is impossible for your mother to have any unnecessary entanglements with him. β
ββ¦β¦ No way, I can't kill him. You said it yourself, if he died before he met his mother, then how could I exist? β
"If you don't try, how do you know? Or is it miss, are you scared? Are you afraid that if you kill your father, you will disappear with it? Oh, by the way, maybe the murder itself is worth your fear, after all, you've never been exposed to anything like it, right? But I remember one time when your mother was almost killed by your father, can it be said that you almost witnessed your father and killed your mother? β
ββ¦β¦β
While the new memories do change somewhat from the original ones, there is no difference overall. The memories of my childhood are still so tingling, as if walking barefoot on broken glass ballast.
"You have one last chance, what are you going to do?"
The mysterious man deliberately made a statement, so that the girl finally made up her mind.
"I understand, I hope that this will allow my mother to be truly happy."
"Hmph, that's good. But before we do that, let's practice. Will you kill someone? β
"I ......"
She's just an ordinary girl, how could she be like that.
"Doesn't it look like so? Don't forget that you only have five minutes, and it's not easy to kill in one hit in five minutes. In this way, you can take me to practice first, don't worry, I am immortal. β
"I ...... How do I practice? β
"How do you want to kill your father?"
"I don't know ......"
"Oh? Then if I want to say, just use this. β
After the mystery man finished speaking, he walked to the table next to him and picked up a knife placed on it.
"Knife ......"
"Yes, killing people with knives should be the most common. Come on, try it, stab me in the body with this knife, and then I'll give you feedback on how likely it is to be killed by that blow. β
"Uh......"
Looking at the knife handed over by the other party, the girl didn't move for a long time, and she didn't mean to take it at all.
"Miss, you have been in a daze for far more than five minutes, if you had returned to the past with such thoughts and attitudes, then the last opportunity would have been wasted a long time ago."
"If you don't kill him, won't you?"
"Yes, as long as he lives, he will surely meet your mother, for if he does not do so, it is impossible to give birth to you. So it seems like there's only one option, doesn't it? Kill him, and you'll be fine, even if your mother can still meet him, he's already a corpse. β
"What about me?"
"You? I don't know. I don't even know if you'll be able to kill your father, let alone what will happen to you. But it is clear that if your father died before he gave birth to you, you could not have been born. In any case, it is impossible for you, as his daughter, to continue to exist. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Oh, are you scared? Afraid you'll disappear together? But when you made a wish to me before, your determination was unshakable. β
A feeling of discomfort rose in the girl's heart, and she began to recall the past, and only those bad things, especially the scene of her father's drunken violence against her mother, which she recalled over and over again in her mind.
As for how happy I was when I was with my mother, I couldn't think of it if it didn't meet the needs of the current situation. Otherwise, if she is really scared and reluctant to disappear, it will all be in vain.
"I see, let's try it."
"Oh, miss, I knew that your determination would help you make a decision. Look, like this, cleanly stab the knife into the neck, here, the median artery part, and ......"
Before the girl could react, the other party grabbed her hand holding the knife and led her to stab her in the neck fiercely. Judging by the way he looked, he was supposed to continue, but it seemed that the blade had pierced him in the neck, preventing him from making a sound
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
Before she could see clearly, the girl felt the heat from her handsβhot blood splattered onto her hands, almost burning her hands. The girl's eyes widened at first, but the next moment she found that everything was back to the way it was.
"I let the scene go back to where you stabbed me in the neck with a knife. Okay, I've taught you how to do it by the blue, now it's time for you to try it yourself. According to the new story, your mother was passing by an alley one night when she met your father, who was drunk and out of the alley. That's good news, your father was drunk that night, and it's a lot easier to kill a drunken guy. Come on, try me as a target, just like you just did. β
"Uh......" The girl struggled inwardly for a long time, and finally struck after an unknown amount of time.
Yikes!
When she opened her eyes, everything was back to nothing happening.
"Hmm...... The blow just now was too far off. Why did you close your eyes when you stabbed me just now, you have no experience, if you don't use your eyes to observe and aim more, how can you kill with one hit. Don't close your eyes next time, and prick again after you've observed. β
The girl was trembling at the moment, and the fear of killing filled her heart at this moment, making her almost cry.
"Miss, it's really hard. But I remember that you said before that you are willing to pay any price for that goal. Killing someone is indeed a sinful thing, but you also have to convince yourself that you have a reason and a motive for killing people, so that your mother can have a better life......"
"Yes, that's ......"
"Yes, exactly. You were forced, you didn't want to do it, but you had to. β
"That's right, it's not what I wanted to do, I have no intention of killing."
"Yes, you're just driven to the end by a desperate situation in reality. And your father, he also deserves it, doesn't he? He almost killed your mother, and he was killed, and it was his own price to pay. β
"Yes, that's right. He deserved it, I did it for my mother......"
"Well, yes, you look much better. Without further ado, let's get on to the next exercise. β
In this way, the girl and the mystery man started practicing again, and after each attempt, the mystery man restored the scene to its original appearance, and gave the girl corrections and suggestions.
"Or I'll draw a circle around your neck, and you'll stab ...... in the circle."
"This time I didn't use enough force, I didn't stab deep enough......"
"Is it too difficult for you to make your neck, or let's change the part......"
The practice continued until the morning of the second day, and the girl gradually became proficient and professional from the original level of a newcomer.
In practice after practice, she felt as if she was on a gravityless planet, and time didn't flow, so she didn't feel tired, hungry, or overthought about it, she just repeated the action of stabbing the knife into the place in front of her over and over again - wait, why was there a neck floating out of thin air, and why was the rest of its body missing?
"It's good, it's good, it's been done really well just a few times. I think you can give it a try. However, I practiced all night...... Even one more morning, are you sleepy now? β
"Nope."
"Tired?"
"Nope."
"Hungry?"
"Nope."
"Well, great, let's go now. It just so happens that you're in the groove now, so you're sure you'll be able to kill with one hit. β
The girl's brain was completely devoid of anything else, and she had become a machine at the moment, giving the only command to stab the other person in the neck.
"Go, miss, for your mother's sake. I'll be waiting for you in the new world, and if by then, you've lost your way again, I'll be happy to show you the way again. β
The girl activated the time machine for the last time, and this time it started, she had an extra knife on her carry. One night twenty-seven years ago, the girl's mother met the girl's father here, all of which seemed to be a coincidence, but in fact it was fate, and the future was destined to be the past.
The alley was quiet, except for a telephone pole standing in the alley, leaving a slender black shadow in the moonlight.
The girl's father came, staggering from the other end of the alley. Soon the girl's mother will come, and she will walk through the alley where the girl is now approaching.
The girl leaned against the telephone pole and looked at the shadow at the other end of the alley, step by step, getting closer and closer.
When he walked up to the girl, he didn't know what the reason was, but he tripped over something and fell on the girl at once. The girl held him up and saw his face in the moonlight.
It turned out to be a handsome person, and his mother would be deceived by him, and this face should have most of the credit. In the same way, she seems to be grateful to him for the appearance she has now.
"Oh? You ......"
The drunken man in front of him raised his head slightly, trying to see the girl's face. The two of them stood at the junction of the moonlight and the shadows, the girl standing in the corner, the whole body in the dark, and the man close to the outside, his body illuminated by the moonlight.
The girl's mind was blank at the moment, and it was obvious that she had forgotten what to do at the moment. At the most important moment, a gradually clear sound of high heels sounded outside the alley - the girl's mother was coming.
The girl looked at the drunken and hazy man in front of her, but looked at her very seriously, gritted her teeth fiercely, pulled him into the shadows, and without waiting for him to react, first stabbed the blade in her hand into his throat, and then pierced his artery with a knife, and with only these two knives, the man in front of her could not fall to the ground instantly without making a sound.
And she silently watched the man fall, but she didn't come back to her senses until she heard the sound of falling behind her.
She turned her head to see the young woman outside the alley, her future mother, slumped on the ground, and fled in a hurry.
The girl watched her leave, not even noticing, tears were already falling from the corners of her eyes.
"Mom...... Mom......"
"Dad...... Daddy......"
"I ......"
At that moment, the whole world changed dramatically, everything around suddenly froze in that moment, and all the sounds disappeared. The girl felt as if she was on an island, and found herself staying here for far more than five minutes.
The operation of the world, because of her actions, has an irreparable failure.
How could it be that a daughter went back in time and killed her father before she was born.
But it's happening right now, and if you want the world to continue to work, then this problem is unavoidable.
The world administrator responsible for sustaining this piece of the universe, 71, has finally discovered the anomaly. It quickly pinpoints the cause and is amazed by the girl's behavior. But the most important thing is to fix this loophole first, and the key to the problem is that "the daughter went back in time and killed her father before she was born", this matter cannot go smoothly in any case, and if you want to solve it, you must change a certain component of this matter.
But what is the element of the sentence to change?
Want to save the girl's father? As long as you change the "killing" ingredient, then it can be solved, but in this way, it means that the girl's efforts are all in vain.
But this is the simplest, most effective, and even the most reasonable.
The manager of the world, 71, is supposed to be like a program, carrying out all the commands that should be carried out. If so, then it will certainly do the above, but it doesn't.
The reason is that it is not a program, it has its own emotional judgment, and in this matter, it finally decides to agree with the girl's approach and let the girl get the results she is trying to get.
In this case, the girl's father was indeed killed, and if he wanted to change it, he had to start from other parts. Since the girl's father was killed, there must be a murderer who killed him, and the incident was witnessed by the girl's mother, which means that there is no other room for secret change.
Thinking about it this way, there is only one way, and that is to modify the murderer who killed him.
As long as he was not killed by his future daughter, but by someone else who had nothing to do with him, then there was no such space-time fallacy as the grandfather paradox.
The world is a pile of information, and the information that has not been perceived by the consciousness is temporarily meaningless, and the information that has been acquired by the consciousness is difficult to change. Although the girl's mother saw all this, she did not know that the person in the alley was her daughter. In this way, there is room for the identity of the murderer to be modified.
With the death of her father, the girl also disappeared directly due to the lack of conditions necessary for her own existence, which can be regarded as a punishment for her. As for 71, as a manager, it did not detect the problem in time and stop it in time, which is a crime of dereliction of duty, and as a punishment for itself, it decided to expel itself from the realm and let other managers take over its work.
"The father is dead, and the daughter must not exist, so you are definitely going to disappear, and the meaning of the individual is gone. Find a guy to replace you, let someone else kill your father, so he won't meet your mother, you won't be born, and nothing will ever exist. β
The position of this murderer, 71 decided to randomly select a lucky person from another world to be the one, because since he is a person from another world, he can have a legitimate reason to drive him out again after he has taken the crime, saving more life and wrong.
As for who this lucky person is, it can only depend on who has fate.
