Lu Mingfei heard something seem to be opened in the darkness. It might be a door, a box, or a book.

Then the indescribable sound was so deep that it spread to the depths of the limit of his thoughts, like the ripples of a stone thrown into the middle of a lake, or like the aftermath of a star exploding in the dark universe. He couldn't really hear what the invisible, expanding sound was.

What it is like, I can only barely imagine how majestic, sad, and bloody an epic it is with some thorns as its crown.

The first thing Lu Mingfei regained was his balance, so it was accompanied by a feeling of weightlessness.

As he fell in the darkness, his brain lost control of the familiar gravity constant. It received physiological signals from inside the body and sensory information from the outside, reminding him that you were in danger, do something quickly.

But Lu Mingfei didn't feel that he was in danger, and even felt like yawning. Because he knew that he was dreaming, and all the fears in the dream came from the lack of understanding of his own situation, and his brain guided him to make wrong judgments and guidance.

Panic spread.

If you fall into panic, the amygdala rushes here and there to urge the secretion of adrenaline and other related hormones, speed up the heartbeat and breathing, increase blood pressure and muscle tension, making you feel as if you were fished out of water when you wake up.

Sweating profusely.

Lu Mingfei didn't want to make himself so wet. He remembered that he fell asleep in the guest room of the Lion Heart Club. Since he was staying temporarily, room service would come to help him change and wash the sheets every morning.

I don’t want to be rumored in the Lion Heart Club the next day that I have a sweaty constitution, or that I did something strange while sitting on the bed.

If he had encountered such a situation a few days ago, he might have panicked and shouted for help, but now he has become accustomed to all this. He has even guessed the next development. After falling for a period of time, he will crash

He will land on something, not the solid earth, but a medium closer to the water. Then he will slow down and then sink. At some point, a ray of light will begin to appear in the dark sight, and people's instinctive phototaxis will make him

Walking towards the light, when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of the familiar bronze city.

It's an old trick! Lu Mingfei thought disdainfully, completely forgetting that the first time he encountered this situation, he was so frightened that he almost cried out "Little devil, help me".

He closed his eyes...or he didn't know whether he had his eyes open or closed now, waiting for the ray of light to appear in the darkness.

Fall, float.

But did the dreaming process take too long this time? What is His Highness Norton doing? What is Old Tang doing? Check Old Tang's status? Hey, hey, open the door. If you have the guts to pull me into a dream, don't have the guts to open the door!

Lu Mingfei's thoughts were wandering, and he made up his mind to talk to him when he saw Old Tang later, and asked him not to make up for so long this night. There was a hearing tomorrow morning. What if he overslept and missed the hearing?

It wasn't that he was doomed. He couldn't afford to lose himself in front of the entire school.

Suddenly, Lu Mingfei heard a vague and subtle voice. It was a person speaking. The voice was very soft, but it did not escape his ears.

"Strange thing." The voice said in a low voice, with a calm tone.

In the darkness, Lu Mingfei's senses gradually recovered, a sign that had never existed before. He gradually heard the wind.

Rumor? Why is there rumor? He doesn't understand.

Then there seemed to be tiny particles passing between his fingers, and the wind rolled those particles through his fingers, just like reaching out to hold the gravel blown by the wind, which reminded people of yellow sand.

Yellow sand? Why is there yellow sand in the water in Baidi City? He doesn't understand.

Then there was the late ray of light, the candle that the lonely man drank with in Baidi City. Lu Mingfei was always guided by that candle to find the gate of Baidi City, just like the confused man in the dark sea.

People are attracted to lighthouses.

He rushed towards that little light, and when he was about to reach it, he stretched out his hand to touch it, but just then an accident happened.

In Lu Mingfei's eyes, there were more and more light spots in the darkness. At first, there were one or two scattered spots, just like the sparse starry sky obscured by light pollution in a modern city. But gradually, it was like a certain valve was opened, and hundreds of them appeared.

Thousands and countless stars surged in from the deep darkness, occupying the entire field of vision of Lu Mingfei!

He was suddenly lost in the storm of starlight, and could no longer find the solitary lamp to guide him. He was surrounded by light and fire, and whenever he got close, he could hear the noisy sound of a radio station.

The things that the voices pouring into the ears tell are all kinds of strange things, and the voices of the people who tell them are also all kinds of strange things, men, women, children, old people, different genders, different characteristics, the information seems to be going crazy from Lu Mingfei's mind.

It penetrated into the hole and danced happily in his head.

The man's voice narrated to Lu Mingfei's right ear: Did you know? Trilobites are the most representative ancient animals that appeared in the Cambrian period 560 million years ago. They are a type of arthropod.

The whole body is obviously divided into three parts: head, chest and tail, but at the same time, humans discovered ruins of suspected civilization; a woman's voice slowly pressed against his left ear and narrated to him: Since the Big Bang, the universe has been gradually expanding.

The existence of galaxies, nebulae, stars, planets, and life is not special. They are not miracles born on the planet. Their composition is the reorganization of exploding star atoms. The most ancient form of life is the star; the voice of a child

The audio was of him lying on top of Lu Mingfei's head, shouting with him cheerfully and matter-of-factly: Hey! Run, run, he is coming! He is coming! Everything will end, life will be over.

Stop, time will stand still, and the air will solidify! He didn’t want to reach the end of the rope, so he cut off the rope frantically. This was the end of the world; the old man’s voice dragged Lu Mingfei’s spine to prevent him from being caught by those crazy people.

Overwhelmed by the flow of information, he gently and wisely told Lu Mingfei: Don't be afraid, my child, I know you have tried hard. When the end of the world really comes, you can just sit in your room.

, drink the Scotch whiskey you buried in the earth, light a Cuban cigar given to you by your lover in the earth, watch it burn to the last inch, and quietly leave this sad world.

Lu Ming must be crazy, or he has forgotten what it feels like to be crazy. Someone is screaming in his ears, and someone is whispering behind his head. If those lights are close to them, they will hear it as if they are other people.

The whispers of the world, if you stay away, the madness will be left behind. So he realized that he was moving forward, moving forward in this ocean of stars, just like a spaceship traveling through the universe. He gradually left the planet and flew across the stars.

, rushed out of the galaxy, then a bubble-like galaxy cluster, and then touched the extreme edge of the universe, so the stars and noisy sounds behind it began to fade away, and everything returned to the silence that had not changed for tens of millions of years.

What is there beyond the edge of the universe? Lu Mingfei didn't know, but light began to appear in front of his eyes again. This time the light was different from the starlight of the storm. There was only one light, like a tsunami of waves rolling in.

Golden yellow, like a burning star, but as big as the entire universe.

He was close to the light that flooded the entire universe. What kind of sound would he hear in such light? Is it the whispers in the black hole of the universe, the whispers of God when he created the world, or the death of the universe when it collapsed into a singularity?

A soft sound? He didn't know that at this time, he could no longer have any shocking thoughts in his mind, because he was already numb and allowed himself to dive into the golden ocean of light.

In the end, he did hear the voice in the boundless light.

Sound of wind.

It turned out to be the sound of wind again.

But it's not just the wind.

In the sound of the wind, something is exploding. It is very subtle and soft, similar to the smile of tiny sparks when burning. It continues to exploding. When the wind blows, the loudness increases.

In addition, there is a crisp and pleasant sound, similar to the sound of the collision of silver products, which is soothing, quiet and mysterious.

"Lu Mingfei." Someone called him.

—

The scorching sun shines directly on the golden earth.

In the barren yellow sand, the wind blew the sand grains rolling down the high slopes, making a fine friction sound. The sand dunes were raised and flattened by wind erosion over and over again. A group of tumbleweeds rolled in the quiet rustling sound, and the yellow sand was moved by his passing.

Leaving a slight trace, it ran from left to right from the top of the hillside, like a brown whirlwind.

In front of the porch of the dilapidated wooden house, Lu Mingfei was sitting on a lounge chair and looked at the desolate scene quietly. A flue-cured cigarette was burning between his fingers. When the wind blew through his fingertips, the butt of the smoke rose.

The fire will light up slightly, and a string of rusty wind chimes hanging at the door will sway and make a pleasant sound.

After a long time, Lu Mingfei woke up. He might have been awake all the time because he had not closed his eyes for a long time while sitting here. But subjectively speaking, Lu Mingfei did wake up. From this moment on, he

Thinking of who I am and where I should be, I am like a confused person in a dream who at a certain moment looked at the collapsed and twisted world and raised three philosophical questions to myself.

The cigarette burned Lu Mingfei's fingers, and the burning and stinging sensation made Lu Mingfei jerk his hand in pain, leaving only the tail of the cigarette flying up.

"What the hell?" He cursed subconsciously and looked to his side.

The thrown cigarette butt fell to the ground in a parabola, bounced off the three worn-out ladders on the porch, and finally lay on the ground rolling slowly on the yellow sand, slightly buried by the sand blown by the wind.

"...?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his head and looked around. What he saw was a field of yellow sand. He found himself sitting in front of the porch of a dilapidated house that looked like a deserted desert. The hot wind blew from the distant sand dunes and hit him.

face, bringing fresh grains of sand to the corners of his dry and cracked lips.

"What's going on?"

Lu Mingfei took a breath through his nose. The temperature of the air seemed to be on fire. Inhaling it in the nasal cavity and along the respiratory tract ignited the lungs. The hot feeling almost made him dizzy. The countless light and heat outside the house also made him

My eyes felt stinging, and I couldn't help but raise my left hand to block the hot and vicious light reflected by the yellow sand outside the porch.

But just when he raised his left hand to his eyes, Lu Mingfei, who was originally dazed and dazed, was subconsciously attracted by the strange thing on the back of his left hand.

Lu Mingfei never thinks that he takes good care of his skin, because there are many people around him who take better care of his skin than him, even if they don’t deliberately use skin care products with high concentrations of allantoin and other repairing ingredients, such as Su Xiaoqiang, Zero

The skin on the hands of a girl like that was as smooth and tender as egg white. Lu Mingfei thought that he couldn't compare with such a naturally beautiful princess, but at least his skin, which didn't touch his fingers very much, shouldn't be as old as it is now.

The appearance of an old man.

What appeared in front of him was a withered left hand full of wrinkles. The skin on the back of the hand was covered with centipede-like interlaced scars. In some parts, skin tissue similar to repaired after burns could be seen irregularly raised or sunken on the original skin——

But to be honest, Lu Mingfei can no longer tell what the original skin color of this hand is. Because of the excessive pigmentation, in his eyes, this hand is no different from Mu Naiyin's skin color. The only biggest difference is that this hand has too much pigmentation.

He can move his hands as he wishes.

Lu Mingfei moved his "battle-tested" left hand with a stiff expression, and the five fingers moved up and down in sequence. There were fresh grill marks on the inside of the index finger and middle finger. But what frightened him the most was that even this

All five fingers except the thumb have the same horizontal scar at the interphalangeal joint.

Having attended battlefield first aid and autopsy classes, he naturally knew that this was the mark left after the finger was amputated. Judging from the severed opening, this hand should have suffered a sharp chop and was severed in an instant.

There was no flesh on the four fingers, and the thumb was spared because of its low position.

Lu Mingfei also found the same traces on the wrist, so this means that not only the fingers of this tortured left hand, but also the entire palm had fallen off over a period of time.

The wind chimes were still ringing. Lu Mingfei suppressed the panic in his heart and restrained his emotions in unknown situations. Through repeated hardships, he had already made a small progress and no longer panicked when encountering the slightest problem.

The fledglings jumped up and became overwhelmed. The first to panic is often the first to die. This was emphasized dozens of times by the veterans of the executive department who taught them the lesson.

When you suddenly fall into an unknown situation, what should you do first?

In Lu Mingfei's mind, he subconsciously asked himself about the execution department manual that he had turned over before each mission.
