The Dragon Gate Competition, who participated in the Tadpole stave last year, wrote a short story, which is a bit similar to the setting of this drama? I suddenly wondered if it would be possible to win the award if I took a little time to expand it into a medium story.
"Twelve Kinds of Lives" The first light appeared in the eastern sky, and Liu Xing was a little surprised. According to his memory and estimation, the time should have come, and he still saw a rising sun at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. There was a long queue downstairs in the welcoming car. When the sky was bright, a burst of firecrackers rang out. Liu Xing got on the head car, and the long line of cars drove to the north. The suit was put on and felt a little tight. When measuring the size, the man said that it would be better to be tight. He turned his head and looked out through the window glass. A row of neat junipers were waving to him, as if to bless the newcomer. The world is very festive, only Liu Xing was a little flustered. Even though this kind of life has been repeated eleven times in his mind, the woman who is waiting for him to marry is more beautiful than his first love in college, but he doesn't love her and gets married just because he is old and upholds a normal life. The responsibilities that the trajectory of life needs to perform, after going through a blind date and a short buffer period, they entered the palace of marriage. Liu Xing can choose ten different kinds of life, the choice is entirely up to him, as long as he wants, he can take charge of the world like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and he can also become the hero in the novel. Repeating his real life experience over and over again, just to compensate his son Liu Le, to say that compensation may be a bit far-fetched, probably just to fulfill his own wish to be close to Liu Le. As for his wife, she is just a poor person, she Before her death, Liu Xing visited the hospital. At that time, she said that she would be cremated directly after death without signing the "Returning Light Agreement". She may have some regrets in her life, but she did not regret it very much. When she said this, Liu Xing has infinite emotions and sighs in his heart. The light-returning protocol is based on the light-echoing instrument developed by a genius scientist thirty years ago. The dying person can connect the brain into the light-echoing machine during the short time when the heart stops beating, and keep the consciousness alive for a certain period of time, just like many people. The brain transplantation in science fiction works grafts the human brain into the machine, and in the echo light instrument, the human consciousness can repeatedly experience different lives, and the normal twenty-four hours in the echo light instrument can be about Experience ten kinds of life, each of which is set as a virtual seventy-year-old, but the operation of the light-returning instrument is expensive. In order to make up for the shortcomings in life, ordinary people also sign a light-returning agreement for a day or two, and then utter death. When Liu Xing was hospitalized, he signed the "Returning Light Agreement" while he was sober. The little money he had left was only enough for one day. According to what the nurse told him, During the time that the Huiguang Instrument was maintained, he could choose his life according to his own consciousness. That state of being omnipotent made Liu Xing, who was lying in bed at that time, think of a word - obscenity. The car passed through the city, and at the other end of the city, there was a bride in a red wedding dress. The woman in front of him was not sick at all, and there were two shy blushes on her cheeks. Although he knew that in reality, his wife died earlier than himself, but He is not afraid at all, he knows that this is in his fantasy world, and even if he wants, the wife in front of him can show more advantages according to his imagination, such as being more gentle, considerate, and understanding , virtuous, wise, and assertive, such as the image of a perfect wife that many men pursue in reality - the hall and the kitchen. The wedding team went around in circles and finally stopped in front of the hotel booked in the city. There were many relatives in the two families, and with the miscellaneous relationship between classmates, friends and colleagues, there were quite a lot of people who came to the wedding. He was used to it. Under the command of the master of ceremonies, he made various coping actions, and in the ten or so repetitions, he had completely lost the embarrassment and shyness for the first time in his life. Now it is so handy to do it together, but he still drinks Drunk, like the first time, he couldn't hold back when he was toasting on the tables one by one. The groggy feeling in his head was so real that he couldn't tell whether he was really dead or not. He was in a trance for a moment, but he knew that he was indeed dead. It was just the amount of alcohol he had. Life and death depend on talent. Like many ordinary people in this world, Liu Xing is busy at work every day, and there is no time to rest throughout the year, but he can only ensure that his family will not starve to death, and he will save a little money when he is lucky. Fortunately, I have the understanding of my wife a few years ago. The reason why I say the first few years is because in reality, his wife can only endure such poverty in the first few years of marriage. The main reason for the divorce between the two was that they thought he was poor, and when they divorced, they didn't even know that his wife had a terminal illness, so Liu Le always thought that his father had abandoned her because of his mother's illness, and he was very angry about it. Yu Huai, until the last moment when Liu Xing lay on the hospital bed, he did not wait for Liu Le's forgiveness. Because there are such regrets in real life, in the eleven lives imaginary in Guangyi this time, he can make his wife free from illness and disaster, and Liu Le will not have any estrangement with him. He can Enjoy a peaceful and happy family life. he still wants Deliberately fulfilling some of Liu Le's small wishes, these wishes were very difficult to realize when he was alive, especially for a poor person like him. Liu Le always pestered him to ride the Ferris wheel when he was a child. In his consciousness, the Ferris wheel was an entertainment item only accessible to children from wealthy families, and he didn't understand how the Ferris wheel would affect children. There was such a huge temptation, he didn't understand, until he divorced his wife and Liu Le was isolated from his life, he still didn't understand, but in these virtual lives, Liu Xing was very generous every time. Meet Liu Le's request. There are always many regrets and regrets in people's life. Why can't they only compensate their hearts through fantasy? Scientists can no longer work hard to develop a real time machine to bring people back to the past, but that's not the case. If people achieve immortality in another way, it will be very troublesome. Of course, these are all crazy thoughts in Liu Xing's head when he was alive, and now, his time is very precious, and he can't bear it. Waste every second. "The light-returning agreement I signed is only for one day. The nurse said that I can live my life up to ten times, but I remember that this is the eleventh time." Liu Xing looked at the son in front of him, and the drop slipped from the corner of Liu Le's eyes. Tears glittered in the sun, and he knew the reason for certain things. Except for his son, no one in this world would be willing to spend such a huge amount for him. The most important thing is that the first ten In this life, Liu Le never showed any sad feelings in front of him. He deliberately maintained a happy life setting, but this time, there were tears in Liu Le's eyes, but he could already be sure that this was not the case. Liu Le imagined by himself, but Liu Le entered his mind through the connection of the echometer. "Where's your girlfriend? Last time I wanted to meet the two of you, but you didn't agree..." Since Liu Le entered his mind, he thought, this is the same as a face-to-face chat between father and son. "She didn't come today, so I signed a three-day return agreement for you. I will bring her tomorrow. You haven't seen her yet. I met her when I just dropped out of school to work. She is very nice..." Sure enough, this It was the first time he heard a few words, so he knew that the Liu Le in front of him was not a shadow he imagined, but a real son of his own. Would a lump of bean curd-like brain make him sick? He was just excited, satisfied, and relieved at the moment. Liu Xing nodded, his eyes were complicated, and he murmured: "How much will that cost, three days, I know your life is not easy, we can't give away the property of low-class people without permission, I originally saved some money to think do I left it for you for the inheritance. Later, when I asked about it, it was not enough for you to pay the inheritance tax. I had no choice but to enjoy it myself. "I don't have much money, but the agreement has been signed, and I realized when the hospital called me that I should have forgiven you, maybe a long time ago, maybe, I never really hated you, It's just that I can't bring myself to see you, but why didn't you come to me..." Liu Le said as if he had taken off a huge rock in his heart, and his whole body felt relaxed. "You can come to the hospital, you can say I am very content with these words. "Liu Xing stretched out his arms and tried to give his son a hug, but after a few seconds of pause, he just held his son's hand tightly. It was the eleventh time to ride on the Ferris wheel, and unlike before, Liu Xing himself I cried, but I was still very happy. In the night sky, the stars were hidden under the strength of the lights. The neon lights shrouded the whole world in a dream. No wonder Liu Le always pestered himself to ride the Ferris wheel when he was a child. He regretted it a little. Of course he wouldn't tell his son at this time that he actually went to him more than once, but Liu Le's mother rejected him decisively and did not give him any chance to make up for it, and Liu Le's stepfather, who later The former rich man, who went bankrupt because of drug addiction, obviously did not have the slightest sympathy in this regard. On the eleventh time, Liu Xing celebrated his seventieth birthday, and soon after, the eleventh time lay in a hospital bed, He knew that at the place he could never go back to, his son was looking at him. Although he only relied on the machine to connect the minds of the two people, for Liu Xing, who had died physically, this was the best ending. He was very happy, and with this happiness and satisfaction, he was ready to experience his twelfth life under the watchful eyes of his son. The first light appeared in the eastern sky, Liu Xing glanced at the neatly tidy room, carrying a heavy weight on his back. Backpack, in his pocket are already bought train tickets. The first stop is Xinjiang. This is his dream since childhood. What he wants to do, perhaps on a gravel road in Lijiang, or on a plank road in Huashan, he will meet a girl who is enough to make him fall in love at first sight, perhaps on the icy Songhua River in the spring, or on the sparkling Poyang in autumn. By the lake, he will also usher in his own marriage, but it is definitely not to complete a task, to go on a blind date in order not to be regarded as an alien by the people around him, Liu Xing thought, I can finally live the way I want Time travels in two worlds at two different speeds, the echometer itself occupies a huge space, and various auxiliary equipment There are also many, so there is a large room to house these devices. Liu Xing's brain tissue is in the central processing unit like a crystal box in the middle. There are various functions of the lights on the surrounding devices flashing constantly. Liu Le suddenly felt a rush of electricity on his scalp, opened his eyes, and saw the large-scale echometer in front of him. At this moment, the signal light that had previously flashed green light turned red, and he quickly took off the connector on his head. , dragged his stiff body and ran outside to call a nurse. The nurse followed up and checked the equipment carefully. "Sorry, there's nothing I can do about it either. He actively shut down his mind." Actively shutting down his mind is tantamount to a suicide confined to the brain, which means that a person is completely dead from now on, from the body to the brain. A chance to survive in the world. "He walked very calmly, and from the record of the instrument, he did not show any negative emotions, and he was extremely satisfied at the moment before closing his mind." The nurse said this, as if she wanted to solve it and avoid this. A family member did something out of the ordinary because of emotional agitation. But she thought too much. Liu Le just sat there silently, as if immersed in some kind of fantasy, the corners of his mouth would occasionally curl up, and after a long time he recovered and said to the nurse, "I'm sorry, I see. "Since Liu Xing himself has voluntarily shut down his thoughts, the fees you paid for the Huiguang Agreement, after deducting part of the handling fee, can be returned to you." The nurse said to Liu Le who got up and was about to leave. Liu Le was in a trance for a moment, but without looking back, he walked out the door and stepped into a golden sunshine. The nurse said this, as if she wanted to explain it and avoid the family member from doing anything out of the ordinary because of emotional excitement. But she thought too much.
