C71 (1/2)
Some people dream like they're playing a series. It may be a few days off in the middle. But it will go on with the dream. Once a person lies down and dreams. The contents of that dream couldn't be blamed on him. It was like entering another life where fate was not up to you to decide.
How lonely could a person be?
He was so lonely that he didn't even want to open his eyes to see the world. Waking up was a form of endurance. It was a kind of suffering. The paleness of reality. It was as colorful as the dream. Even if there was a war in his dreams, at least he wouldn't be so lonely.
A man could be lonely to the point where he would rather the world erupt in war, at least be able to run away with the crowd, listen to the gunfire, and be excited to fight. It was too cold, and his heart was cold.
A lonely life seemed meaningless.
In fact, how could life be considered meaningful? Are you happy? But is happiness eternal? What do you have left after being happy?
Thus, life was completely meaningless.
I was always crying. I don't know why I cried. But the tears continued to flow.
Death is not terrible to me. Let it all be over. I don't miss it.
In this life, I have nothing to linger for.
A creaking sound was heard. The small window above the metal door opened. The man who brought the food looked at me. I was watching him, too.
His face was unfamiliar, but his eyes were so familiar and passionate.
After a long time, he said, ”There's food to eat, but you don't! If I give you another hot one this time, will you eat it or not? ”
”Why are you eating?” I asked.
”Because people want to live!”
”Why are you alive?” I asked again.
”Because they have friends, family, work, hobbies, goals, and enjoyment. Actually, there are many reasons why we should live on! ” the man who brought the food said.
”But I have nothing!”
”You don't have anyone else!”
”What?”
”Immortal Body!” You can live forever. Even if the time was so long that the sky collapsed, it wouldn't be able to cut off your time! You have the power to control the life and death of all human beings! ” the man who brought the food said.
”An immortal body?” I couldn't help but grin at myself mockingly. ”But a few days ago, I nearly starved to death. There are also signs of kidney failure! ”
The person who brought the food said, ”That's because... Part of you left. What left was essence, and what remained was dregs. This useless body of yours is currently unable to resist and follows the correct Heavenly Dao in this world. If you don't eat, of course you will be hungry and have problems! ”
”I left part of it? Where did you go? ”
”Have the life you want. Unfortunately, even with the quintessence of you, you are unable to control your own destiny! He had become a puppet who was plagued by emotions, forced to do things for others, and was unwilling to do things for others! It can also be said that you, who are part of the essence, is doing something that would destroy your integrity! ” the man who brought the food said.
”A part of my essence left. When did it leave? Why can't I feel it at all? ”
After a moment of silence, the man who delivered the food said, ”Actually, I suspect that I was mistaken! With regards to your matter, I'm getting more and more afraid to jump to a conclusion! ”
”What do you suspect?”
”I suspect that the part you left was the trash, and the part you left was the quintessence!” said the man who brought the food, and doubt began to appear in his bright eyes.
”Why are you so suspicious now?” I asked again.
”Because the moment I got close to you, the fear in my heart suddenly multiplied! You're trapped in a prison. No, you shouldn't be sleepy, except that the world can hold you. And no place in the world can hold you. It depends on whether you want to move.
It should be said that your body that was willing to stay in the prison is obviously stronger than before! ” the man who brought the food said.
I grinned again, full of unspeakable self-mockery, and said, ”I don't like your praise. A few days ago, I did nearly starve to death. I starved to the point that my kidneys started to fail! That was the truth. It was an unforgettable fact. No matter how fierce you make me sound, I am still unable to resist the hunger test, so how can I be considered to be any different from an ordinary person! ”
The person who brought the food became silent again. His pair of eyes gradually lost their bright glow and became shrouded in a layer of bewilderment.
I said, ”Yang Dabao, I think too highly of you! Or perhaps, being overly vigilant has made you think too highly of me! They think I'm invincible. Actually, this was not the case. A mountain was higher than a mountain, and a strong opponent would naturally have a strong hand. If it's possible, no one would be willing to follow you with their tail between their legs! ”
Another few minutes passed in silence.
The mist in Yang Dabao's eyes gradually dissipated, revealing more and more fear.
Finally, his voice quavered. ”Are you being held down in this narrow, dark cell?”
I nodded. ”You're finally enlightened. In the future, he would leave some leeway for his own thoughts. Don't always be self-righteous. It is true that you are confident, but if a person is too confident, it will inevitably affect their judgement! ”
Who is it? Who exactly is suppressing you?! ”
”I don't know who he is! I'm the same as you, I can't feel his presence at all! If it wasn't for the change in my body, which made me unable to resist the hunger, I wouldn't have realized that someone was suppressing me! This time, something really went wrong with my body due to hunger. It really did happen outside of my control, and I didn't intentionally feign weakness! ” ”No,” I said.
After thinking for a while, Yang Dabao said, ”Eating food for a long time will cause hunger problems in your body. This is following a normal heaven's law. Could it be that the person who suppressed you was the one who controlled the heavens? ”
I didn't say anything.
”Then this is not surprising! The master of the Heavenly Dao has always been suppressing you! However, this time he was ruthless! Because you've gone too far! In one night, nearly ten thousand people died. Other than a world war, what could be more vicious? But the world war was a sin committed by countless people. And the recent deaths of ten thousand people were all caused by you! ” Yang Dabao said.
I still didn't say anything.
