Chapter 125 A smile beyond time and space: You look so listless, why don’t you smile?The images of the thirty-sixth episode were covered with a dim filter from the very beginning. Accompanied by the familiar BGM "The Call of Thirty Million Years", the camera quickly approaches a little boy sitting alone on a stone from a first-person perspective. Then an old voice suddenly sounded, "You look so listless, can you smile?" The little boy looked up and saw a white-haired old lady in front of him. Although the years have left wrinkles on her face, she is still smiling and every strand of her hair is neatly groomed. "Look, I'm so old, but I'm still so energetic." The old lady used her own experience as an example and gave the boy a pendant to encourage him to smile more like her and face life with cheer. The sky gradually darkened, and the old lady's figure gradually became blurred in the faint crimson sunset. Only the photo in the pendant remained clear in people's memory. When the lid, which had already fallen off in several places due to rust, was opened, a photo of a girl with pigtails was revealed. The girl has a pretty face and is attractive at first sight. However, when the little boy looked up again, the old lady had disappeared.
Who is she? Where is she from? Why did she give him the pendant? These questions became mysteries with the passing of the old lady. The camera moves slowly as the boy looks around, and finally quickly switches to a side when he calls out "Ye Rui--", presenting to the audience only a Ye Rui dozing off on the table. It turned out that what happened just now was just a memory in his dream. But whose voice was calling Ye Rui's name? As far as viewers know, that's not any currently known female character. Ultimately this was temporarily chalked up to a dubbing error, as everyone's attention was quickly drawn to the new weirdness. A man who was jogging in the morning was almost scared to death when he saw a cruise ship appear out of nowhere in front of him. There was no one on the cruise ship, it looked like a ghost ship and appeared very strange. Even more bizarre is the Victory Team’s findings. After field investigation, it was learned that the cruise ship was not a mirage, but a real ship in reality. However, according to records, the ship had disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle seventy years ago. However, the ship that now appeared before people was a brand new large cruise ship that seemed to have just been produced. Seventy years was just a blink of an eye for this ship. The next scene is even more breathtaking. The world seemed to be upside down, with the sky connected to the sea. Several bolts of lightning fell from the whirlpool, transmitting strange things to the ground one after another. At first, it was just planes and ships that disappeared in different eras, until the end, a panicked girl suddenly appeared in front of everyone! ! She had no idea what was happening and could only look around in panic at the unfamiliar environment. She subconsciously hugged her schoolbag to her chest, hoping to gain a sense of security, but it was of no use. The audience has been completely conquered by this girl with a round face and eyes as simple and pure as a frightened deer elf in the woods! This girl is the epitome of first love.
Of course, this is just the delusion of adults. Children are simply amazed, just like those bold words "I will marry someone when I grow up". In the end, the winning team followed their traditional skills and brought the girl who suddenly appeared to the TPC headquarters for questioning. However, before the interrogation began, a dispute arose in the command room over who would be the one to interrogate the girl. The three men started a drama and the argument became intense. Captain Iruma Kei was caught between them and his ears hurt from the noise. In the end, no one got it, and this glorious task fell on Ye Rui, who did not fight for it. But Ye Rui was staring at the girl in front of him in a daze. She looks so much like the girl who appeared on the pendant in my dream. The girl being stared at by Ye Rui was obviously panicked. She was eager to leave here and go home. Suddenly coming to a strange world, being taken to a strange place, and now being stared at by a strange man, anyone would be panicked and scared. But the girl showed fear. Well, it feels more like acting like a spoiled child. At least her accusations were harmless. Although according to normal logic, people should sympathize and comfort the scared girl, but everyone still shamelessly thinks she is so cute like this!! So cute!!! However, from the plot point of view, this girl who introduced herself as Yuli traveled back from 70 years ago, but her body did not change, which was against science in every way. After all, the ships that appeared before were just dead objects, but this girl was a living person. The bizarre experience that happened to the girl reminded many people of a poem they had learned before: "When I arrived in the countryside, I looked like a person who had lost his temper." A farmer who went up the mountain to chop wood encountered an immortal playing chess and was fascinated by the game. When he returned to his hometown after the game was over, hundreds of years had passed. Everything was no longer the same, and even the axe he had with him had rotted away. Perhaps Yuli's experience was just like that of the farmer, and she also encountered a miracle. However, whether the person who experiences the miracle is happy is another matter. After the interrogation, the camera showed the first person perspective again. The shaking picture made people feel uncomfortable, as if some monster would pop up in the next second. But in reality, it was just Yuri wandering around the base. She saw many people around her looking at her with strange eyes, and she also looked at this building that she couldn't understand at all with strange eyes. Her world consists only of home and school, and the farthest place she has ever been is to her classmates' homes. It is a kind of monotony that modern people cannot understand. Just when everyone finally felt a desire to protect this lonely girl, Hori Kei suddenly appeared. He grabbed Ye Rui who wanted to go forward to comfort Yuli, and whispered a warning to him not to have too much contact with Yuli. Because once they solve this strange incident, the results will be immediately reflected on the girl. "..She might turn into a white-haired old woman. Turning into an old woman is good. She might even turn into a pile of bones~~"
The whispers from the devil Horijage successfully frightened Ye Rui into shutting him up, and also scared the audience quite a bit. A beautiful girl in her prime is transformed into a skeleton. No one can accept this level of stimulation. But Ye Rui, who has always been stubborn and principled, fulfilled his promise and personally took Yuli to find her home. Since electronic maps didn't work, Ye Rui used paper maps from decades ago, but that was of no use. Ye Rui was devastated when he saw that the original residential area had now turned into a wide road. Seventy years have passed. Time flies, the world has changed, and human society has developed rapidly. Many traces of the past have been ruthlessly abandoned in the process of economic take-off, not to mention the old houses built decades ago. Obviously, after seeing the hustle and bustle of traffic in front of her, Yuli also realized that she no longer had a home. Being homeless is a very scary thing for a student child. Yuli looked at the unfamiliar road and suddenly missed her parents. Everything here is so strange. The road was full of speeding cars, and things that were rare to her were now so common. The low-rise houses and alleys she was familiar with were gone, replaced by skyscrapers that stretched as far as the eye could see. Here even the wind blowing on one's face was filled with unpleasant exhaust fumes and heat waves, unlike her home where although the wind always blew up dust from the road, it was always refreshing and cool, bringing coolness even in the hottest summer. Where is her home? Can she still go back to her home? Will mom and dad worry about her and look for her everywhere? Yuli burst into tears, and her sobbing made people feel heartbroken from the bottom of their hearts. Ye Rui, who had no experience in getting along with girls, was at a loss when he saw the girl crying. He kept promising the girl that he would find her home, but the girl just backed away sadly. The camera gradually moves away from the two entangled people, slowly taking in the entire city street scene. This city is big. But there is no corner that belongs to this lonely girl. In an instant, a feeling of loss swept over everyone's hearts. In fact, isn’t it the same for people in front of the screen? The torrent of history rolls forward, refusing to stop for a moment. People are driven forward by various factors, either actively or passively, but they cannot slack off for even a moment. Because when you relax, it means someone else will pass you by. Isn’t this where involution comes from? What is the difference between those who are left behind and lonely Yuli? (End of this chapter)
