Don't dare to watch it a second time

Before reading "Lingyin", I was as keen as most of the people to solve the mysteries of this world, to clarify the logical relationship, and to know who the "God" is? How many Lingyin are there? What is the setting of this world?

But when I actually read it, I felt that the deep understanding of the world in the process was not so important.

All I can feel is loneliness, pain, sadness, helplessness, and even want to cry. I don't know who brought these emotions to me, is it Reine? or myself?

I haven't given much thought to the philosophical question, "existence"? "does not exist"? There is also no doubt about the reality of the world. I might just be so caught up in the role of Reine that I can't extricate myself.

I have seen many emotional works, but they have never given me such a strong emotional impact. Hahahaha, it's hard to imagine that I was actually beaten to death by a suspenseful sci-fi film.

In the end, people who see this don't laugh at me, it's just a pitiful moaning, maybe the poor Lingyin that he has become a carefree "god" in that world.
