Chapter 10: The Emergence of the World
What struck me as strange was that when the silver thread floated to me, it seemed to change shape on its own, it folded and folded again, and my limbs slowly took off. I felt as I moved farther and farther away from the old hermit crab until it became a small, invisible, round object, while his words kept lingering in my ears as if they were playing on a loop.
I didn't have time to think about it, but I was slowly stunned by all the sights in front of me. Although it was night, when my body was lifted into the sky with "silver wings", I saw that the garbage can was too small to be seen in my sight, and the aquarium life market, the world that I thought was all heaven and earth, was transformed into a small rectangular realm, which was not even 30% in my sight. Wait, when have I ever had the same amazing feeling? It was at Ah Zhen's house, and it was also night, and the small topographic map that appeared on the ground. Once again, my "world" has been expanded.
I let the wings made of silver wire fly upwards with me, I don't know when I'm going to land, but I'm not worried, I know that I may have its protection in the dark, and I won't fall or anything else, after all, didn't the old Cancers say it...... But before I could react, suddenly, the words of the old hermit crab stopped in my ears, and I was very embarrassed by the bright lights in the dark vision.
It was a realm with a little bit of starlight, a little dazzling, as if it didn't fit in with the whole world I saw. At this point, the "silver wings" also stopped waving, and it slowly descended from both sides of my body and wrapped in, and I felt that I was in a transparent, elastic sphere.
I suddenly began to muttered to myself. I said to the protective ball next to me, "I'm going there, please help me." ”
With that, I fixed my eyes on the carnival-like lights of the human race. Yes, it's not the lights of a house, it's a party-like. I even suspect that it was a different country where the aquarium market was located.
In my heart, the voice of the old hermit crab quietly stopped, and another voice came up, yes, it was my own, and I said to myself, my friend the big snail may be there!
The "invisible bouncy ball" began to expand, making a "chirping" sound, and the gravity in my body began to recover. I started to descend in that direction, and it was at this time that I remembered one of my peculiar features, which was to increase in volume as the speed increased and the time decreased.
But it was too late, my body had already begun to fall, and the recovery of gravity, the increase in volume, and the obstruction of the wind made my landing difficult, and I shouted, "Please slow down!" But the bouncy ball didn't seem to understand at all, it could only wrap me tightly and minimize the cold brought by the wind.
I closed my eyes, endured it all, and then fell asleep. I have this problem, and I usually fall asleep when I can't stand it. But this dream is full of my reunion with the big snail. I knew in my heart that its fate was uncertain, but my faith sustained me and made me believe that it must be alive.
Increased speed, sweet dreams, shuttled time and space, early sunrise, swaying course...... Everything brought me to this morning in the summer of 1980, but I didn't know what it would be like in the end.
