Chapter 1: The Rebirth of the Doomsday

Next Chapter

A poster in the elevator made Li calculate, and with more than ten years of screenwriting experience, he quickly summarized the key words on the poster.

‘2012’

'The End of the World'

'Carnival Party'

Who TM is making this joke on the crew?

He had just finished writing the script and was about to go to the director for a meeting, when he felt a little dizzy when he got into the elevator, thinking. 'The new assistant is already ripe, and it shouldn't be fresh if you don't pick it', and when I opened my eyes, I saw the promotional poster of the nightclub...... and the charming young lady on the poster.

Before he could come back to his senses, the reflection of the elevator wall caught his attention.

The man inside is quite familiar.

There is no sedentary general's belly, no fatness caused by corruption in life, no withered by high blood pressure, diabetes, and young sisters, and no dying brought about by his perennial screenwriting career.

The face on the elevator wall is still his Li Suan's face, but it is ten years younger than before he closed his eyes.

Are you dead?

So this ...... I'm afraid it's not hell, right?

As soon as he had this idea, the elevator arrived, and as the elevator door slowly opened, a group of business people in suits and leather shoes poured into the elevator, among which the two young ladies were dressed in tattered clothes, wearing heavy makeup at this inappropriate time, and they didn't know where to go.

At the moment when the elevator door closed, Li Suan squeezed out, and the more familiar furnishings around him completely awakened his memory.

He was in the lobby of the Twentieth Century Hotel, and the electronic clock on the wall honestly informed everyone that it was August 2012.

At this time, he should have just changed from an ordinary assistant to a screenwriter's assistant, right?

The revolving glass door of the hotel reflected brilliant light in the sunlight, and Li Suan looked for the light, recalling the first time he passed through this door as a screenwriter's assistant, when he deliberately stood tall, although the monthly salary was meager, but he had to hold his head high when he talked to anyone.

At that time, he didn't earn 50,000 yuan a year, and he didn't know what low-key was, but the joy brought by the rapid promotion made him firmly believe that he had a bright future, so he had great ambitions.

Li Shu came to the door of the hotel, unbelievably stretched out his hand to push the glass turnstile, he did not move much, and his strength was even more gentle, with the inertia of the glass turnstile to go outdoors, bathed in the sunshine of 2012 for the first time.

This should be...... Rebirth?

Li Suan looked at the sky cautiously, there was no thunderbolt on a sunny day, and there were no dark clouds.

There is no way, he has done too many sins in his previous life, and he has been reborn, and his materialist ideological outlook is naturally not firm.

All right

At least until the age of thirty, he is a five-good young man who is willing to work hard, willing to work hard, and has ambitions, because the world is very fair, as long as you work hard, you can always earn money to support yourself.

But the world is honest again, let you witness the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat, let you pass by with beautiful young ladies, and let Douyin show you all the beauty of the world......

However, you will only be accompanied by a meager salary and desires that can only be achieved in dreams.

There is a price to pay for making dreams come true, and being a good person is not the reason for Li Suan's success......

So after the age of thirty, Li Suan, who felt that he had an epiphany of the truth in the world, began to have all five poisons.

He sat on the steps at the door of the hotel, holding the 'Changbai Mountain' that he brought from his hometown and didn't light it, not thinking about the girlfriend who had lived together for three years, nor the little assistant who graduated from the subject class and hadn't had time to sleep, and his mind was full of three words.

Why?

Why am I?

Could it be that I have something to do with the above?

Li Suan looked up at the sky, waiting for an explanation, but the gods and Buddhas in the sky didn't seem to have time to pay attention to him.

……

'The Voice of China', the bus station is full of promotional posters of this variety show, Na Ying, Yang Kun, Liu Huan, Yu Chengqing, and the four rotating chairs have driven the last glory of mainstream Chinese music, but what Li Shuan's ears ringed was Adele's 007 theme song "Skyfall".

The little couple listening to this song is not very old, and it may be appropriate to change into a school uniform, and they are holding an iPhone in their hands, which is either 4 or 5......

Suddenly, Li Suan, who saw the mobile phone, woke up suddenly, and slapped his hands to his pockets at the same time, fortunately, the bulging from the left and right pockets made him feel at ease, and turned out the wallet that later died of mobile payment, looking at the neat hundred-yuan bill inside, Li Suan couldn't help but complain about himself.

I'm still young.

At this time, I never knew what it meant to be wealthy, and when I had money, I said that I would bring a thousand pieces in my wallet, and from the amount at this time, the deposit for this job should be less than three days.

As for the mobile phone, it is an old smartphone, which seems lighter than I remember, but I can't remember the name.

The crowd suddenly stirred, a bus entered the station, Li Suan instinctively opened WeChat, but he didn't find it to scan, and then looked up, and there was no familiar QR code next to the door, Li Suan was slightly stunned.

"Are you leaving?"

The fashionable master wearing sunglasses asked Li Suan, Li Suan hurriedly answered twice and got into the car, and only remembered when the car started: Is this the one he wants to sit in?

"Master, is this car at the Gate of Heaven?"

"Didn't you look at it when you first talked to you?"

Li Suanyi grinned, "I just came to Yanjing." ”

The driver glanced at him, "Sit in the back and wait for the station." ”

Li Shu thanked him, went to the back to find a place to sit down, and then looked out the window curiously.

This is Yanjing in 2012.

The first stop of rebirth was chosen Tianmen, because of the regret of his previous life, Li Shu drifted north for ten years, but he had never seen the city gate tower with his own eyes. I remember reading a novel about the magic capital, which said that some people lived in the magic capital, but they had never seen the Pearl Tower and the Huangpu River in their lives.

How stupid.

When I read this, Li Suan still didn't believe it, thinking that my country's transportation network is so developed, how much money can it cost to go on a trip?

But the past ten years of drifting north have made him the passerby described in the book.

I didn't see it in the first year, because I felt that the future was long, and in the second year he forgot about it, and in the third year, he remembered it again, but he had moved from the second ring road to the third ring road, and he felt that it was tiring and unnecessary.

In the fourth year, the fifth and sixth years, as Yanjing became bigger and bigger, he lived from the Fifth Ring Road to Tubian Bridge, and then from Tubian Bridge to the suburbs of Yanjing. At that time, he was already famous, and he was by the side of the Internet brother, if it was either real money or artillery fire every minute, how could he still think of coming to see this city gatehouse?

Then there is seven, eight or nine, the industry is turbulent, and it is difficult for others to barely make ends meet. But because he hitched a ride on the Internet early, he fooled investors, Party A, and girls with star dreams, counted money every day, and became a groom every night.

Finally, it was the tenth year, and at that time he was already a screenwriter with a small amount of assets, although the reputation of sleeping girl was rotten, but he still had to be called 'screenwriter teacher' in front of people. dragging the body that was destroyed to the scum by occupational diseases, basic diseases and young ladies, he is still struggling on the front line of flickering, as for the idea of looking at Tianmen, it has not appeared for a long time.

Then he returned to 2012.

The car arrived at the station, and before getting off the car, Li Shu arched his hand to the master in the rearview mirror, whether the other party saw it or not, it was regarded as thanking, and then he finally saw the city gatehouse.

Grandiose?

Excited?

Or is there something out of the ordinary?

Li Suan didn't feel it, his gaze crossed the busy street, and then saw the city gate tower that could be seen clean at a glance, the photographer was really ingenious, and he could take a picture of such a small city gate tower at a glance.

Why didn't you come and see it back then?

If you look at it, you may know that any fame and fortune are just a passing moment.

Yanjing is such a city, it allows everyone to have dreams, and then turns most of the dreams into dreams, and finally makes everyone stop dreaming.

Li Shu just stood quietly at the bus stop, it was very bad to see the gate of heaven from this angle, he watched the sky on the tower of the city gate slowly dyed red by the sunset, he still didn't understand, how could such a good thing as rebirth fall on his head, could it be that the god and Buddha wanted to take advantage of 2012, the end of the world, to send himself back to destroy the world?

'Jingle Bells'

Li Suan took out his mobile phone and answered the phone, and the old lady's enthusiastic voice made people's nose sour instantly.

"Money received?"

Li Suan was stunned, remembering his mother's habit that he couldn't change. The old lady doesn't believe in Alipay, nor does she believe in online transfers, and every time she sends money to Li Suan, she has to go to the bank to operate it in person, and she can't move.

"Hmm."

Li Xuan didn't dare to say more, and if he said more, he was afraid of revealing his stuffing, but the old lady's voice immediately became serious, knowing that the son Mo Ruo's mother, even if he returned with his soul ten years later, how could he hide it from his mother as a son?

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

"If you really can't do it, come back, Yanjing is nothing good, isn't it better to keep the family and the land?"

Li Shu knew that he had to speak, but if he didn't speak, the old lady would kill him: "It's okay, we're fine, Mr. Zhang and the director are very polite, what are you doing when you go home, you don't make money staying at home." ”

"What's the matter if you don't make money, mom earns money!"

When it comes to this kind of topic, Li Suan in his previous life is always a bull.

Because the old lady's generation of northeasterners is still in the glory of the 'eldest son of the republic', there is not much at home, but there are generally several brothers and sisters, and the old lady is the eldest, so in the eyes of Li Suan, their home is a relief station.

The old lady is capable, she fought her way out of the tide of unemployment, and started her own business, not to mention how successful she was, but in the end, she didn't have to worry about eating and drinking.

When Li was young, he was very ignorant, and he had no concept of making money, and he was confused every day, and when he failed the course at the end of the semester, he went home and told the old lady, and then waited for a few days, and the subjects he hung up could be magically passed, and he tried and tested repeatedly.

Later, the old lady was old, and she couldn't do a small business, so she received a pension and her father's pension, and by the way, she helped him, an unfilial son......

When Li was rich, he thought about how the young lady and Party A should fool him every day, except for a fixed living allowance every month, he didn't say anything about taking his mother over.

In ancient times, Li Shuyi must have suffered a thousand knives.

"I know you can make money, but I also have to earn money, you have been raising you for more than 20 years, you can't always be a child, right?"

"Okay, then mom is waiting for you, waiting to live in the big villa you bought!"

Since Li Suan went to Yanjing, the old lady often said this to Li Suan, whether it was in the previous life or in this life, Li Suan knew that this was a mother's most sincere blessing to her son.

He patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, it must be a villa." By the way, if you promise me to go to the hospital for regular check-ups, I will match you with two more nannies. ”

"What are you doing with a physical exam?"

"Just say yes or no."

"Can you not say yes? Whatever you say, Mom agrees...... Lee. ”

"Huh?"

"You also promised Mom one thing."

"Okay, anything, as long as you say it!"

"Okay, don't learn badly."

Li Shu was silent, and after a while, he replied firmly.

"Hmm!"
