After breakfast, Zhang Yichi turned on the TV and watched the morning news.
Then I went to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and stared outside in a daze.
The four reincarnation worlds have ended, and something unpredictable has left. Now it is as if the violent storm has finally subsided, ushering in a brief calm. He can't tell whether he likes this calm, but he still wants to stand there motionless, in a daze.
With.
In the morning, Zhang Yichi did a general cleaning at home, and then moved back into the bedroom. In terms of comfort, the sofa was definitely not as comfortable as the bed. It was okay to stay on the sofa for a night, but he couldn't bear it after sleeping for so long.
The deck chair he bought arrived in the afternoon, and Zhang Yichi took it back and installed it on the balcony of his study. The weather has been nice these days, so he can lie on the deck chair and enjoy the sunbath. It is very comfortable to squint for a while.
I went out in the evening and got another haircut. I shortened my slightly longer hair and made my whole body feel much fresher.
After dinner, I opened WeChat and saw him. Mo Chou and Li Yanchuan had posted a video in the WeChat group of the three of them. When I clicked on the video, the content showed that Mo Chou was drinking with his father in a restaurant. The old man seemed to have drunk too much and was cursing.
Mentioning the fact that he was defrauded of money, unpredictable laughter could be heard from time to time in the video.
Soon Li Yanchuan sent a message.
"You two are not together now?"
Mozhi sent a voice message: "My old man has returned from abroad. I will settle him first."
Zhang Yichi sent a "Good evening" emoticon, and then Aite Li Yanchuan asked: "Are you free now? I have some questions to ask you."
"Yes." Li Yanchuan replied instantly.
Zhang Yichi returned the 'OK' gesture again, and then called Li Yanchuan directly.
The two chatted for about ten minutes, and Zhang Yichi mainly wanted to ask about the doubts that came into his mind yesterday.
One is the average death rate in each reincarnation world.
The second is the specific circumstances of erasure.
Li Yanchuan, who is a senior member of the International Association, is very aware of this, so he gave Zhang Yichi a detailed answer.
First of all, the death rate in the reincarnation world is not fixed. If the average is 50%, then after four reincarnations, the remaining reincarnations should only be one-sixteenth of the original ones. But in fact, currently
The number of surviving reincarnations is much higher than one sixteenth. Therefore, what Zhang Yichi encountered should be a coincidence.
Regarding the issue of erasure, Li Yanchuan still couldn't hide his surprise when he talked about it.
Erase is to directly erase the reincarnation who failed the mission from the world. There will no longer be relevant memories in the memories of their relatives and friends, and other documents, items, and any accessories will also disappear. This is the four-wheeled
Many people died. Why did the government and other organizations in the real world not notice the abnormality and did not affect the normal operation of society?
But the erasure is not a complete erasure, there are still reincarnated people who remember them.
Li Yanchuan said that an Association colleague with whom he got along quite well died because of a mission failure. At that time, he wanted to send some money to the colleague's home as some help. However, after visiting the colleague's home, the parents of the colleague said that they had never given birth to children.
DINK family. They did not leave any belongings of their colleagues in their home. Only Li Yanchuan, who is a reincarnation person, still remembers that such a person once existed in the world.
After hanging up the phone and solving his doubts, Zhang Yichi sat on the sofa and meditated.
He thinks erasure is terrible.
This is the most complete way to die.
He remembered that when he was chasing "One Piece" in junior high school, one of the characters in it, Dr. Siruluk, said: "When will a person die? When the heart is hit by a gun? No. Is it because of an incurable disease? No.
.After drinking poisonous mushroom soup? That’s not right either. It’s the time to be forgotten.”
After listening to Li Yanchuan talk about the situation of the person he worked with, Zhang Yichi imagined, what if he failed the mission one day and died? He was erased and never existed in this world. Time seemed to go back and correct.
He made a 'mistake' and his parents were not married, or they were married but never had children.
The sound of gentle breathing could be heard clearly in the deserted home. The young couple upstairs who had often quarreled recently seemed to have stopped quarreling. I wonder if they have children, and I wonder if they have been hastily divorced just like they were in a hasty marriage.
After getting up and closing the curtains, Zhang Yichi went into the study and pulled out "Walking Without Stopping" by Hirokazu Kore-eda from the bookshelf.
This book roughly tells the story and memories of a family, including misunderstandings, understanding, family affection, and forgiveness.
The memories and emotions between family members shown through family gatherings made Zhang Yichi feel very precious. He read this book many times, as if this book could fill a gap in his heart.
After reading the book in one breath, Zhang Yichi stuffed the book back on the bookshelf and let out a long sigh of relief.
Now he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, which temporarily overshadowed the longing and extravagant hopes that had never dissipated in his heart.
Life is just like the title of the book, the pace is non-stop. Some things may never be made up for after that period of time, and will always become a shortcoming in the heart. On the road to the future, this kind of shortcoming will continue to torture the heart and make people spend a lifetime
time to work hard to heal.
When he went to wash up before going to bed, Zhang Yichi looked in the mirror and saw tears on his face.
He didn't realize it at all before, but he probably shed tears while reading the book. He didn't know which paragraph it was because of, but he felt that every word in the book moved him.
Silently, Zhang Yichi flushed his face and wiped away the exposed things, then returned to the bedroom and turned off the light and lay down.
Counting the time in the world of reincarnation, his life has been in turmoil for more than two months. Now because of his unpredictable departure, everything seems to have fallen behind. In Zhang Yichi's time alone, the world has returned, and it is still peaceful.
Like in the past, he would examine himself seriously and meticulously.
With his hands behind his head and a thin quilt covering his body, Zhang Yichi was still awake at night with his eyes open.
After a long time, he lifted the quilt and sat up.
A few seconds passed.
Zhang Yichi got up, put on his clothes and went out. The unpredictable pickup truck was parked downstairs, and he drove away from the community. There were few vehicles in the community and on the surrounding roads at this point, and he didn't know where he was going, so he gradually
Driving onto the highway and entering a sleepless bustling world, the pickup truck merged into the busy traffic, driving farther and farther with the flow like a direction that he didn't know clearly.
——
"Hello?"
"What's wrong? What happened in the middle of the night?"
"What's going on with your car? You didn't even notify me if there was a problem. Now it broke down in the middle of the road!"
"Haha! It seems like there's something wrong with it. Why don't you just help me fix it? Then again, why are you driving out in the middle of the night?"
