The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life
Chapter 134 Novice Mission 133
It turns out that there are such similar stories in Eastern and Western mythology. Xu Yingying feels that the two myths are just the protagonists with different names. In both stories, the protagonists do wrong and are punished by the gods to do meaningless repetitive labor.
Wu Gang's story ends with his repeated efforts to cut down the osmanthus trees. Cutting down the osmanthus trees is punishment. He suffers day by day, and his life is a tragedy.
But the story of Sisyphus does not stop at pushing the boulder every day.
But one day when Sisyphus was pushing the boulder, he finally discovered new meaning in the lonely, absurd and desperate process of life - which made Sisyphus feel that the process of pushing the boulder could also become interesting.
Sisyphus discovered that in the confrontation with the boulder, his own strength continued to grow and his muscles became stronger.
This made Sisyphus feel happy, and the gods were frustrated when Sisyphus no longer regarded this punishment as a hard labor in his destiny.
Because this made their punishment meaningless, the boulder stopped rolling down from the top of the mountain. Sisyphus was freed.
In Xu Yingying's opinion, the muscles of the two people in this myth must have been well trained. Although from the process, their efforts were useless, when faced with the cruelty of fate, we can still choose how to face it.
After all, the two people's endings are completely different: one is able to transcend, the other cannot. But these are only the endings in myths. In reality, who can say for sure which choice is right or wrong?
Whether you can transcend or not is not the key, it depends on your state of mind.
If you become optimistic, even if the gods don't let you go, things won't be as bad as you think.
If his mood is always in a pessimistic state, even if the gods let him go, he might think of some unnecessary things and trap himself in it.
A flash of enlightenment suddenly came to Xu Yingying's mind. She felt that whether she could escape from this dream might be closely related to her mentality.
Just when Xu Yingying had this thought, a familiar voice suddenly came to her ears: "Yingying, if you don't wake up, you will miss the class." This was Lin Xiumin's voice, and it was clearly heard by Xu Yingying in her dream.
Xu Yingying was startled and immediately realized that this was the voice of Lin Xiumin in the real world.
Xu Yingying knew she had to wake up quickly, otherwise she would be late for class. However, Xu Yingying found that she could not control her body, as if she was bound by an invisible force.
"I want to wake up!" Xu Yingying screamed in her heart. But she didn't know how to break free from this dream. Last time, from the same dream, Xu Yingying woke up by screaming. So should she do the same this time?
Xu Yingying took a deep breath and began to scream with all her might. However, she soon realized that her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she could only make a very weak sound. This made her panic. Could it be that this time she really couldn't wake up from the dream?
"Calm down, you must calm down. Don't panic, or you won't be able to leave!" Xu Yingying said to herself silently.
Perhaps many people have had this experience: when we try to give ourselves some positive psychological hints, the results are often not as expected.
Sometimes these cues can help us overcome difficulties, but sometimes they can only make us more anxious and confused. This is exactly what happened to Xu Yingying. Although she kept telling herself to stay calm, her fear and sense of helplessness grew stronger.
Xu Yingying tried her best to calm herself, but the swirling thoughts in her mind surged like a tidal wave. She began to question her ability to escape this horrific nightmare, even fearing she might be trapped here forever. This worry intensified her panic, and her breathing became increasingly rapid. Just then, Lin Xiumin's cries reached her ears once again.
"Yingying, wake up!" Lin Xiumin shouted anxiously, patting the back of Xu Yingying's hand vigorously, trying to wake her up. Each slap was like a flash of lightning, piercing the darkness and illuminating Xu Yingying's fear-shrouded heart. And Lin Xiumin's voice, like the light before dawn, gave Xu Yingying a glimmer of hope.
Xu Yingying's body trembled slightly, and her breathing became rapid and heavy, as if she was searching for the light in the darkness. Xu Yingying's fingers were clenched, and her nails dug deep into her palms, revealing the tension and anxiety deep in her heart at this moment.
Although Xu Yingying still kept her eyes tightly closed, her brows were furrowed, and her face was full of pain and struggle. Xu Yingying's lips trembled slightly, as if she was fighting against the fear in her heart, trying hard to break free from this nightmare.
Seeing Xu Yingying frowning and looking painful, Lin Xiumin's worry grew stronger. Lin Xiumin tried to gently shake Xu Yingying's shoulders, hoping to wake her up, but Xu Yingying still did not respond.
"Xu Yingying, wake up! Xu Yingying, wake up! Xu Yingying, wake up!" Lin Xiumin called out softly, her voice filled with urgency. However, Xu Yingying's body only twitched slightly, and there was no sign of waking up.
Lin Xiumin's heartbeat began to accelerate, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. Lin Xiumin felt helpless, not knowing how to help Xu Yingying escape this nightmare. Suddenly, she remembered the school doctor outside, who might be able to wake Xu Yingying.
Lin Xiumin walked quickly to Teacher Zhong, her voice becoming a little sharp with anxiety. "Teacher, Xu Yingying can't be woken up."
Teacher Zhong was a little confused when she heard Lin Xiumin's words. She quickly stood up and followed Lin Xiumin into the inner room to check on Xu Yingying.
When they walked into the room, they found Xu Yingying with her eyes tightly closed, her face as pale as paper, her forehead covered with beads of sweat, her lips trembling slightly, as if she were experiencing a terrible torture in her dream.
Teacher Zhong's heart tightened, and she quickly walked over and gently patted Xu Yingying's shoulder, trying to wake her up. "Xu Yingying, wake up!" she called softly, but Xu Yingying didn't respond at all.
Teacher Zhong frowned, a wave of worry rising in her heart. She increased the strength of her hands, shook Xu Yingying's body again, and raised her voice. "Xu Yingying, wake up!" However, Xu Yingying was still immersed in the dream and could not be awakened.
