Fang Xiaoling was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The light from the living room came through the crack in the door. It was her mother waiting for her husband who had not yet returned home.
She could vaguely hear her mother's voice muttering alone, "Why can't I get through the phone? What time is it? Where have you gone?"
Suddenly, Fang Xiaoling felt a great sadness. She clutched her chest, and there was strong resistance in her lungs, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She didn't know why, but she felt a feeling of pity in her heart, and it was this pity that made her not want to resist the sadness.
Tears soaked the pillowcase silently. She turned over and lay flat on her back, staring blankly at the wall of the shed, letting this emotion unfold in her heart in the darkness that was not completely dark.
In the trance of completely letting herself go, she seemed to feel that the darkness in front of her was not a single piece, but composed of countless extremely tiny black dots. She knew that this was not an illusion, so she immediately got up and got out of bed to open the door. Room lights.
At first, there was nothing abnormal. After the retina adapted to the light, everything in the room became clear and bright. However, Fang Xiaoling was surprised to find that when she only focused on looking at a certain object or wall, she could see countless objects. The light spots filled the air. If you look closely, you will see that the lights are colored and are not a flat surface. Instead, they fill the air in the entire space. They are densely packed together. When she realizes this, she begins to Understand that it is not these points that fill the air, but these countless points that make up the air.
She thought about what she learned in junior high school physics class. Water is composed of countless water molecules. She guessed that what she saw were air molecules. She focused all her attention on a certain point. That tiny point of light, which was absolutely invisible to the naked eye, became more and more obvious in her eyes and transformed the absorbed light into reflected colorful light.
This was so amazing that she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and wanted to touch the light spot with her fingertips. However, the moment she touched it, the light spot suddenly produced a strong gravitational pull, sucking her entire arm. Entering, like a black hole in the universe, Fang Xiaoling didn't even have a chance to pull back, and her whole body was sucked into a completely dark space.
It was so quiet here that she couldn't even hear the sound of heartbeat or breathing. Although she could see nothing but darkness, she could feel that it was very big here, as vast as a universe without any planets or even a trace of dust.
Fang Xiaoling thought, "It would be great if there was light."
Then, there was light.
Centered on Fang Xiaoling's position, the light quickly dissipated the surrounding darkness until the end could not be seen at all.
It was completely white and nothing could be seen clearly. Fang Xiaoling could feel the intensity of the light, like countless searchlights shining on her eyeballs at the same time. She wanted to close her eyes, but she couldn't. But when she wanted to make the surroundings less bright, the brightness dropped instantly.
She seemed to be able to control everything in this infinite space, but she couldn't control herself.
Just when she was wondering where she was, she suddenly saw the room at home again. She was still in the same position, as if nothing had happened just now.
She wanted to scratch her head with her fingers, but was surprised to find that she had no hands to control it. A strong sense of fear instantly surrounded her, and only then did she truly realize that her legs had disappeared, everything had disappeared, and all that seemed to be left was consciousness.
At this time, Fang Xiaoling felt as if she did not exist, but she did exist as a non-entity.
Just when she was confused, she suddenly found herself moving, pacing back and forth in the room. She couldn't control herself and could only be forced to accept the image seen by her retina. She saw a hand opening the door, and then looked at I saw my mother sitting on the sofa and dialing a number continuously. Even if she couldn't get through every time, my mother still kept dialing.
"Mom, I'm home."
Fang Xiaoling was not speaking, but her voice seemed to come from all directions. Then, the voice said again: "Don't wait for my dad, he will never come back."
This sentence touched the most fearful point in her mother's heart. When Fang Xiaoling saw her mother suddenly stood up, she greeted her with a slap in the face.
She felt the pain on her face, but she couldn't feel where her face was. It was a very strange feeling that was difficult to describe clearly in words.
At this moment, her mother's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. She tremblingly clicked the answer button. After a few simple inquiries, she began to question the other party continuously, and then she stayed where she was. No more words were spoken.
Time seemed to have stopped. Fang Xiaoling saw her mother standing motionless for a long time, and finally collapsed to the ground, wailing in grief.
It wasn't until she seemed to faint and lay on the ground twitching for a while that her collapsed mother choked and said, "Xiaoling, your dad...he..."
The screen suddenly turned 180 degrees and quickly moved to the kitchen. One hand took out a bone chopping knife from the knife holder. Fang Xiaoling felt the pain in her muscles, as if she was actually holding the knife in her hand. inside, but she couldn't feel the existence of the entire hand.
When her mother saw this, she cried, "Mengling, what are you doing with a knife? I beg you, don't scare mom, I can't bear any more blows..."
"Mom, I know who the murderer is, and I want revenge!"
Women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong. Hearing what Li Mengling said, the mother thought that her daughter could not bear the blow, and quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Listen to me Mengling, the police staff just told me personally that the taxi your father took when he came home was on the road. There was a car accident.”
"Mom, it's really hard to explain all this, but believe me, our family's tragedy was all caused by Roland. She was the culprit who killed our father!"
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoling finally understood who was speaking at this time. During the whole process, she had similar conjectures, but she originally thought that if Li Mengling's soul was controlling her body, then Fang Xiaoling's own soul Naturally, we should also return to Zhen.
But obviously, everything was not as simple as she thought. At this time, Fang Xiaoling was trapped somewhere in her soul state. As for where this place is, although she doesn't want to guess like this, she has to suspect that this is where Li Mengli's soul has been for the past two days.
Now, the soul's control over the body is exchanged. No matter what Li Mengli did, Fang Xiaoling could only watch helplessly and was unable to make any effective intervention.
"Maybe this is what it feels like to watch a VR movie." Fang Xiaoling had just had this idea when the picture in front of her suddenly switched to the white color before. A giant VR device fell from the sky. It was the latest model she had just imagined. The next imaginable accessories all appeared in this white space without touching the ground.
"These are all things I have dreamed of before. Could it be that in this space, whatever I want will be available?" Fang Xiaoling felt very pleasantly surprised and murmured to herself, "Can I really use it to watch movies? It's a pity that I don't have it. Hands, how do you get this?"
Suddenly, a hand appeared in the space, floating in the white space, looking very strange.
Fang Xiaoling was as surprised as if she had discovered a new world. She quickly thought: I want a head, I want a body, I want legs, I want to become a physical human being...
Everything happened as she thought. She was hanging in the white space, and the VR equipment was right in front of her eyes. She stretched out her hand to reach it, but her arms were not long enough. She paddled her body like a swimmer, but she still couldn't. It didn't move forward at all from its original position.
"There needs to be ground!"
An imaginary infinitely vast grassland appeared, but Fang Xiaoling was still suspended in mid-air.
"Uh...lack of gravity?"
Suddenly, she began to fall rapidly and fell heavily to the ground. The VR equipment also landed on the ground with a "bang".
"Huh - it's amazing. It should be painful for a normal person to fall from such a height, right?" As soon as she thought about pain, she felt severe pain in her body.
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt when someone falls!" She kept repeating, as if she wanted to deceive herself, but it turned out that she really didn't feel much pain anymore.
Fang Xiaoling stood up, looked up at the vast expanse of white, and murmured, "The sky is pink."
The pink sky is like an oil painting painted with a brush, which is what Fang Xiaoling imagined.
"Oh my god..." Fang Xiaoling was shocked and excited, "Everything here is subject to my will. I am the creator of this world, and this is my world..."
She walked towards the VR equipment step by step, "In other words, I can watch any movie I want, and I can still experience the immersive feeling."
"That's right!" She suddenly stopped and slapped her forehead as if remembering something, "Now is not the time to study VR movies! I need to know what's going on with Li Mengling!"
The moment she finished speaking, she returned to Li Mengling's perspective and saw the buildings and scattered pedestrians quickly retreating on the street outside the car window.
"Master driver, please drive faster." Li Mengling's tone was very calm.
In this state, Fang Xiaoling had no body, only the consciousness of her soul, but she still felt the cold bone chopping knife in her arms.
Li Mengling focused her eyes on the car window. She looked at herself reflected in the window, tried her best to smile as if she was rehearsing, and kept repeating, "Hello Roland, I am Fang Xiaoling."
After saying it a dozen times, she adjusted her tone again, "Sister, I am Xiaoling."
Just when Fang Xiaoling felt extremely scared after thinking about it and finally realized what the other party wanted to do, the other party's eyes suddenly became cold, looking at the looming face in the glass window, as if looking at another person.
Even without any explanation, Fang Xiaoling knew that Li Mengling was talking to her at this time, "Just wait and see the show, I know where Roland's home is."
