Chapter 505: Knife
However.
Slowly.
Xiao Shrimp changed her mind that the little girl was hypocritical.
Because when things go wrong, there must be demons.
The little girl reveled in the sunset, as if listening to the most beautiful symphony in the universe;
She admired the moon and hummed Debussy's "Moonlight";
She wanted to see in the middle of the night the moon disappearing in the clouds, casting light and shadow under the grassland; Even if the male protagonist threw down a sentence, "Look at the moon yourself, I really have to go to sleep, and I have to rush back to the space center tomorrow to continue my unpoetic life", abandoning her eyes in the wilderness, she just cried and couldn't see the sunrise on the grassland, and turned her head and was excited to hear the first bird call of the day, "There are birds in the rain." ”
This is very different from hypocrisy.
Especially the part where the girl hummed Debussy's "Moonlight" completely changed Xiao Shrimp's view of this girl's hypocrisy.
Because—
When she read this, she was curious to look up the music. Then, she saw a video of Li Yu playing moonlight when he participated in the show when he was twelve years old, although the picture quality was very lake, but the notes that were light and ethereal like moonlight silver threads flowed slowly.
Right away.
Xiao Shrimp is like the protagonist in the book, and a weaker girl appears in front of her, just the young big demon king in the video, she is in space, with the silver moon above and the blue earth below, and she flies through the middle, blending the music into the moonlight-
I like this kind of quiet music, and I can even hum it softly, the little girl shouldn't be a hypocritical person, right?
Opposite.
Little Shrimp feels more and more that the little girl's love for these ordinary things is like she wants to-
He's dead!
As soon as this thought came to mind, Xiao Shrimp immediately took it for granted.
At first, the little girl gave each flower a name, and the act of remembering the name of the flower was not abrupt.
She even had a little more compassion, wondering why the male protagonist was numb, and didn't accompany her to take a look.
Call.
The shrimp knows, there is a knife in the back.
It's a pity that as an editor, she can't run away.
But it's okay, she's an editor, resistant to knives!
Now the only doubt is that this girl is dying of something.
The place where she was was hot as hell.
A weightless environment, a spacesuit with a well-developed thermal insulation system, and a narrow control compartment.
And then—
The book also says that the communication delay is very short, it should be in low earth orbit and so on.
Xiao Shrimp scratched his head and couldn't figure it out.
Right now.
She thinks this is sci-fi love + suspense.
It's not just her.
The male protagonist in the book also wonders where the female protagonist is.
And then—
The male protagonist thinks that in addition to space, there is also a place where weightlessness.
Little shrimp don't understand, what else is there?
She hurriedly followed.
Then, Xiao Shrimp saw the line of words-
[The only difference is that the Sunset spacecraft does not fly into space, but into the depths of the earth.] 】
"Squeak!"
The shrimp chair pushed back, and was caught off guard by the impact of the answer and stood up suddenly. For she could not find any movement, or any words, to vent her surprise, abruptness, and reversal when she saw this answer.
It all makes sense!
What kind of heat-insulated spacesuit, the delayed communication is very short, it all makes sense!
That girl is on Earth!
Xiao Shrimp couldn't wait to watch it, wanting to know what the girl's fate would be in the end.
And yet—
The article began to write in detail about the "Sunset Project".
This paragraph is really sci-fi and hardcore, writing about the long voyage of the spaceship underground. However, although this paragraph is written vividly and vividly comparable to excellent popular science literature, Xiao Shrimp's heart slowly sinks.
Really.
Her guess came true, the girl's Sunset 6 had an accident during underground scientific research, and the two team members died and committed suicide, leaving her alone in the spacecraft.
And this spaceship—
Its engine is broken, and the ship's supplies can keep the girl alive for decades, but the ship will never get out of the ground, and it is still sinking.
Eventually—
Xiao Shrimp's heart sank into the center of the earth with the girl's "Sunset Six", accompanied by the interruption of eye transmission, voice and data, and fell into despair with the girl, "...... The interior was completely missing, and the ship had sunk to a depth of six thousand eight hundred miles, the deepest part of the Earth, and she was the first to reach the center of the earth. ”
For!
Xiao Shrimp heard the string of hope in his heart break.
That drizzly morning without sunrise was the last thing she saw on the ground.
Right now.
She is forever alone in the heart of the earth, and will spend the rest of her life in the inner world, which is less than ten square meters.
Whew!
The shrimp opened its mouth wide and took a breath of air, as if it had just come out of the water.
She didn't know if she was shocked or empathetic.
She seemed to see the girl enclosed in the center of the earth, and the dense matter in the center of the earth pressed down on her like a mountain.
That's not space.
You can see the stars in space, even if you are forever sailing in the stars and can't return, but fortunately, there are far away.
And in the center of the earth, it was a kind of despair trapped in hopelessness.
Death is liberation.
And yet—
The girl said goodbye in the end: "...... I'm used to it now and don't feel cramped and closed anymore. The whole world is around me, and when I close my eyes, I can see the prairie above, and I can clearly see every little flower I have named—
】
Good bye. ”
Good bye.
She could no longer contact anyone, she could no longer move.
Little Shrimp silently turned to the last chapter.
Wherever the male protagonist goes, he will lie on the ground there.
There was an idea that comforted him, "No matter how far I go, I will not be far from her." ”
Finished.
That's it.
There are only 8,000 words, and it takes less than an hour to read it, but Xiao Shrimp's heart can't be calm for a long time, as if he has experienced vicissitudes of life.
There was no love, no salvation, and the girl was so sunk in the heart of the earth.
Xiao Shrimp knew that there was a knife and was ready to be knifed, thinking that at most it was nothing more than life and death.
However.
As a sci-fi editor, she still underestimates the weight of the sci-fi knife.
She never imagined that after the romance of science fiction in "The Country Teacher", Jiang Yang came to the despair of science fiction again.
Deep despair.
The coldness of science fiction is like a knife, cutting open the little shrimp's brain and putting the cold ice into it, so that she can't let go for a long time.
That girl is full of nostalgia for the world.
She named every flower, she rejoiced in the sorrow of every cloud, she looked at every ray of sunshine jumping in the grass, she longed to listen to every voice on the grassland, she looked at the world all night, she remembered that it was cloudy at half past three, and it rained at five o'clock—
"It's like rushing out of the water to breathe air, and I'm so afraid of being closed," she said. ”
"Please rest assured, I will arrange my own life here......"
She never saw the prairie sunrise she wanted to see again.
She's so strong that it hurts.
Xiao Shrimp's sad stomach hurts, this knife is too ruthless, so that those who are prepared are caught off guard, as if facing a big truck, summoning all the courage to face it, or being hit in pieces.
It's too knife.
Jiang Yang's grandson——
Xiao Shrimp snorted, only to realize that she had finished reading the following article standing up.
But this time she sat down and stood up to read, and she finished reading, which was different from before, because she had forgotten Uncle Kikube's pain.
Shrimp walked to the office window, pulled back the curtains, and let the sunlight slant into the office.
She watched the street where the wind blew through the leaves of the ginkgo trees and left yellow butterflies fluttering under the trees.
The story of this desperate "astronaut" teaching a dull person to feel life is really ————
Desperate and romantic.
She turned around and forwarded the email to Mr. Orange: "Master, I have a good manuscript here, you can read it." ”
Mr. Orange is reading the two articles that Xiao Shrimp just posted.
He replied nonchalantly, "Okay, I'll see later." ”
Little Shrimp: "Okay. ”
"Oh, yes."
Xiao Shrimp also said casually: "This is Jiang Yang's contribution." ”
