The house is money, the story is life

"As for what you said that day, the question of illusion and reality, I always find it very interesting."

Sitting on the curb, the child in an oversized coat was talking in a low voice while flipping through a third-rate magazine in his hand.

"What is illusion and what is reality? You look at a brain in a vat and feel that the world it interprets is illusory, but how do you know that everything in front of you is not presented by another brain in a vat? ?Catched by organs, processed by the brain, and judged by the heart, the world in the eyes of the living is constructed in this way. Can such a world be said to be real? The world in the eyes of the undead is even more hypocritical. Perception is difficult to achieve, and what kind of truth can be demanded? In the end, it just depends on what you want and what you believe in."

The finger that turned the page paused, he turned his head slightly, and said after a while: "Huh? What? I didn't say that we did something wrong. Lu Xiaoyang should wake up like this, otherwise Hang Yiwei will be very difficult. And he That's really tiring."

Lowering his eyes, he closed the magazine in his hand, stood up slowly, and threw the magazine into the trash can, feeling the strong vibration of the ground, watching the huge cracks winding on the road.

"I'm just curious, what would it be like to awaken Lu Xiaoyang's 'truth'?"

Rewind time to 5 minutes ago.

In the bar, Zhou Tang was sitting face to face with Lu Xiaoyang, one looked down at the cup on the table, and the other tilted his head to look at the rippling lights in the distance.

"Mr. Zhou?" Lu Xiaoyang called Zhou Tang softly, "Do you still tell your story? If you don't tell me, I'll go back first."

"Ah. Ah?" Zhou Tang seemed to have just recovered, and looked away from the cup, "Hmm, sorry, I just conceived the plot... Where did we just talk about?"

"You said that there was a pair of lovers. The man was seduced by a white lotus from outside and broke up with the heroine. The heroine was very hurt, became sick with grief, and died of illness not long after." Lu Xiaoyang repeated, seemingly not understanding the story. I don't like it very much, "Is there any more in the future? Or is there a plot but I haven't thought about it? Or else, if you haven't thought about it, you can let it go first. I will give you my contact information. Come back when you think about it." Tell me, how about it? Now, I think I'd better go first..."

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Tang quickly stopped him, his eyes darkened, as if he had made up his mind, "I've already thought about the following story——I've already thought about the following story. Can I delay you for a few minutes? ?”

Lu Xiaoyang frowned, but sat back in his seat obediently: "Well, it's okay, you agreed."

Zhou Tang took a deep breath and said, "Later...then it was like this. After the heroine died, she entered heaven. God said, because she was a kind girl before she was alive, and he wanted to reward her, so he gave her a dream. In the dream, the heroine can experience all kinds of life and make up for the regrets in her life. Then the girl... she remembered her painful relationship in her lifetime, and the harm that man and mistress gave her time and time again, and involuntarily developed The desire to do it all over again. She felt that she was too humble and unsightly in that relationship, and at the same time she missed the man who loved her once, so she built such a world. In that world, she She is a reborn heroine who overcomes difficulties in order to maintain her love. She shines with a different radiance and firmly attracts the eyes of her lover. She is so immersed in this setting that she forgets what she is facing. It's just a fantasy, a false world..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Tang coughed twice, and suddenly found that he couldn't continue talking.

Not because of reasons such as "can't bear" or "sad", but really, I can't go on.His throat seemed to be blocked, no matter how he turned his tongue, he couldn't make a sound.

"I don't like this story." Lu Xiaoyang said coldly, and stood up from his seat, "This story makes me sick. I'm sorry, I should go back, see you next time."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Zhou Tang waved his hands in vain, intending to chase after him, but his body seemed to be stuck to the seat, and he couldn't even stand up.Seeing Lu Xiaoyang go further and further away, he suddenly felt his throat itch, but the voice that had been suppressed came back again.

Before he could think about it, he got up hastily, and said loudly to Lu Xiaoyang's back: "There is more to this story!"

Lu Xiaoyang turned a deaf ear and continued walking, Zhou Tang said again: "The heroine doesn't know, but her boyfriend never betrayed her at all!"

Lu Xiaoyang stopped suddenly.

All sounds paused for an instant.He turned back hesitantly and looked at Zhou Tang: "What did you say?"

Zhou Tang's throat moved, and he heard the echo of his heart pounding heavily.He knew that it was time to test himself.

"In fact, there is no mistress at all, and there is no cheating. Her boyfriend was found to be terminally ill a few months before he broke up with her, and all those betrayals were just that he hoped to make the girl It's just a well-arranged scene for the Lord to leave with peace of mind. He loves the heroine deeply, has always loved her, never betrayed her, and never thought of really hurting her..."

He stared at Lu Xiaoyang, and squeezed the edge of the table with both hands: "If this is the reality, are you willing to accept it? Xiaoyang?"

Lu Xiaoyang didn't speak.He just looked at Zhou Tang with a scrutinizing gaze, and an extremely complicated expression slowly appeared on his face, first surprised, confused, then happy and sad, and gradually showed a little bit of relief.He slowly approached Zhou Tang, with uncertainty in his tone: "Is that so?"

Zhou Tang nodded, and took out the ring from his pocket, the cold metal was already hot from his covering.

"Li...Mr. Li Chihang's soul is wandering outside. He asked me to hand this over to you and tell you that it will always belong to you."

He watched Lu Xiaoyang's eyes widen in disbelief, reached out hesitantly to take the ring, held it tightly in his palm, and his lips began to tremble.There was soreness and pain in his chest that couldn't be ignored, Zhou Tang bit his lips, tried to calm down, and said: "Mr. Li Chihang also asked me to tell you, don't be sad for him, you will meet again in the end. Here Before, he hoped that you could wait for him quietly... just give him another chance, okay? When he really stands in front of you, apologizes and confesses to you..."

No more pretense with lies, no more borrowing other people's mouths.

Holding the ring, Lu Xiaoyang clenched his cheeks and stared hard at his eyes. Tears rolled in his eyes a few times, and finally couldn't help but fell down, and lightly hit the ground, causing a huge shock.In an instant, the world shook, everything collapsed silently and quickly, the crowd panicked, the glass shattered, the tables and chairs rotted, golden wine mixed with blood poured out, flowed all over the ground, and disappeared in a blink of an eye—everything The vibrations were so violent, yet so quiet, like a doomsday disaster movie that was muted.

In this silence, the sound of the two landings was particularly obvious.As if jade and stone hit each other, two balls rolled down from Zhou Tang's body.Those are two square blocks, one is the word "Zhou" and the other is the word "Tang".

The word block will shatter when it hits the ground, leaving no trace.Lu Xiaoyang looked down in puzzlement, and when he raised his face again, he found that the fox-eyed man standing in front of him had disappeared, and disappeared along with his story.

Outside the bar, Xia Shi calmly reached out to catch a leaf shaking from the treetop, with an indifferent expression.Beside him, a light-colored shadow flashed a few times, Zhou Tang's figure suddenly appeared, hugged him, hid to the side, looked at the cracks on the road one after another in surprise, his voice was a bit uncomfortable Wen: "Does this mean success?"

"It should be. The words I gave Li Chihang have all failed, so it should be a success."

"Then what do we do now? Get out?"

"I don't know the way." Xia Shi's tone was calm, "Don't worry, someone will come and take us out."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud "buzz" in the sky, and the computers within a few miles were turned on at the same time, and several blue lights shot out from the screen, converging in the air to form a zero three, whistling They came at a low speed, grabbed Xia Shi and Zhou Tang, and dragged them out. At the same time, they didn't forget to drag out the genuine Li Chihang from the bar—it's a pity that the latter didn't appreciate it.Just looking at Xia Shi and crying.

Xia Shi was impatient, and Zero Three was even more irritable. Regardless of Li Chihang's snot and tears, they brought them out of Lu Xiaoyang's world.Xia Shi landed easily, and turned around to talk to Zhou Tang, but saw Li Chihang kneeling in a blank space, covering his eyes with his hands.

Xia Shi looked back in puzzlement, there was nothing but blankness.Zero Three took a deep look at Li Chihang, and explained: "Lu Xiaoyang brought down the whole world. He is rebuilding a world now."

Xia Shi's eyes widened: "Another one? What does this look like?"

No one answered him.Only Zhou Tang, who also couldn't see that world, gently pressed his shoulder.

Xia Shi turned to look at him, confused.

This confusion has been haunting him until a long time later, when he collected Li Chihang's story as an intermediary, Xia Shi finally figured it out.

It was about a quiet, good place to sleep.

It is another false realm based on lies—but for Lu Xiaoyang, the boundary between what is true and what is false may not be so clear.

Before another reality comes, his world will always be real, it is such a simple and crude truth.

When Hang Yiwei returned home, Xia Shi and Zhou Tang had already left.

Ling San was cleaning the house, and the floor and table were full of A4 papers—in order to thank Xia Shi, he took his own initiative to take him to another world in Bird Spirit, and learned a lot of stories.Zhou Tang quickly typed them out on the spot, printed them on paper, and handed them over to Xia Shi, who didn't give up until he was satisfied.

"So powerful?" Hang Yiwei was speechless.He had only been away for an afternoon. Even if the flow of time in the bird spirit was different from reality, it would still take some time to resolve the incident.Look at the printing paper here—this hand speed is incredible.

He was amazed, leaned over to help Ling San pack it up, and asked casually, "How old was it when Xia Shi left?"

"It's almost thirteen." Lingsan said, and handed a few pieces of paper in his hand to Hang Yiwei, "This is the TXT he found in the hard drive. He was going to type it out and take it back to read, but he forgot to take it back. Yes. Do you want to send it to him?"

"What is this? Shocking wind and rain? Rebirth text? Forget it, leave him alone."

As Hang Yiwei said, he slapped the paper on the table casually.On the top sheet was printed the following passage:

[I'm sorry, Xu Yang, I still can't deceive my heart.I am grateful for your company over the past few years, but I am even more grateful for the fate that made me meet Xiaofeng.He is the unique light in my life, I love him more than myself, so, goodbye, breaking up may be a better choice for you and me. ——I once loved you, Shen Chihang. 】
