I'm not a drama god
Chapter 768 Children of the Stars
Lu Xun was stunned.
He thought Chen Ling would make various requests, but he never expected that the "reward" she wanted would be such a question...
"This..." Lu Xun hesitated for ten seconds before he could not help but speak.
"Director Chen, this question... I... I really don't know how to answer it."
Seeing this, Chen Ling sighed helplessly.
Indeed... this question is too abstract for normal people. It's like grabbing someone and asking him, if you become the leader of Mars in your next life, what kind of ideal empire will you use your expertise to build Mars into?
Unless it was like last time with Su Zhiwei, he would first make the question specific, but now Chen Ling knew nothing about Lu Xun's corresponding field and had no way to ask specific questions.
Chen Ling pondered for a moment and then spoke again:
"Or...if you don't mind, I can take a look at a part of your past first."
Chen Ling's [Painted Red Face] gave him the ability to see through the script of life. Just like he saw Yao Qing's past, as long as he wanted, he could also see Lu Xun's past.
When Lu Xun heard this request, he seemed a little hesitant, but finally nodded:
"no problem."
Chen Ling closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, two traces of apricot red appeared at the corners of her eyes.
The pair of pupils first met Lu Xun's eyes, and the next moment, a mysterious red flashed. Lu Xun felt a pain in his head and fell into a brief trance!
A broken "play" flooded into Chen Ling's mind through his eyes.
……
boom--!
A flash of lightning cut through the dark sky.
Chen Ling opened her eyes and found herself in a wild mountain forest. Rain poured down from the dark clouds, flowing down the mountain road in waves.
Chen Ling was startled and looked around Xizhou in confusion. He did not see any buildings or houses, only endless darkness, forest shadows, and heavy rain.
Snapped!
A wet boy stepped over the puddle and staggered into the dark shadows of the forest.
"……Um?"
Chen Ling saw the young man clearly. It was the young Lu Xun. Although he didn't know what happened here, he quickly followed him.
Chen Ling now has no physical body. He walks through the forest like a ghost, and even the rain penetrates through his body.
In the darkness, the boy seemed unable to see the surroundings clearly. He fell heavily to the ground several times, then stood up by force of will, and continued to sprint forward with gritted teeth.
He looked back from time to time, as if he was afraid of something. There was no color on his pale face, but he looked extremely haggard.
"…This is one of his most unforgettable memories?"
Chen Ling looked at the boy who was running as stubbornly as a cockroach, and the doubts in his heart became more and more intense, "What is he afraid of? What is behind him?"
Chen Ling looked back, but could only see a mist. In Lu Xun's memory, that place was not concretized.
He followed the young man Lu Xun and ran down all the way. He saw the young man tripped by a stone in the dark, and rolled down rapidly like a sandbag in the wet mountain. After hitting a huge rock, he deviated slightly from his trajectory and was hung on a branch on the edge of the cliff.
Scarlet blood rolled down the boy's forehead. His consciousness was already blurred. He just lay among the branches like a corpse, letting the rain slide down his cheeks and wash away the blood...
Chen Ling watched this scene quietly from the side, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
At this moment, a breeze blew across the earth, and a corner of the heavy dark clouds was lifted. The hazy starlight shone in the boy's pupils, like a layer of light gauze. Lu Xun's consciousness gradually disappeared, and the corner of starlight that was scattered by the dark clouds seemed to be imprinted in the depths of his memory, shining like a dazzling gem.
Three seconds later, he passed out.
Almost at the same time, flashlights emerged from the darkness. They seemed to be searching for something. Finally, one of them saw Lu Xun hanging on the tree branch and walked over here exclaiming!
"Here!! Here!"
"Is it the kid who reported the case?"
"It was him! He actually escaped from the human traffickers' base by himself? That place is more than ten kilometers away from here... and it was raining so hard in the mountains. How did he do it?"
"It was this branch that saved his life, otherwise he would have fallen off the cliff."
"Hurry up and pull him out..."
"..."
A noisy sound rang in everyone's ears, and then a series of chaotic figures began to salvage the boy. At the same time, the picture in front of Chen Ling gradually shattered.
After a brief pause, a new scene appeared in front of Chen Ling.
……
"He's the only child who survived?"
"Yes...the human traffickers used a boat to send all the other children to Southeast Asia. Only this child escaped before boarding the boat. He found an opportunity to call the police and then fled alone in the rain for more than ten kilometers on a mountain road before he was discovered."
"No wonder……"
In front of the gate of the orphanage, two figures were talking in low voices under the eaves. One of the old men looked back at the young man sitting alone in the house with a complicated expression.
"This child's biological parents are still in prison, and the relatives he lived with before don't want him either. Now we can only send him to you."
"So many children were captured, but he was the only one who escaped... This child is very smart and has enough courage." The old director nodded slightly, "I like smart children, so let him stay."
"Okay... I'll be leaving first then."
After saying goodbye, the other person drove the car in front of the orphanage and left alone.
After watching him go away, the old man walked straight into the house. At this time, the young man was still staring at a small mirror on the table, as if in a daze.
"What are you looking at?" the old man asked, walking up to him.
The boy didn't say anything, but just lifted up a corner of his hair, exposing a scar with irregular edges to the air, looking extremely hideous.
"scar?"
"The shape of this scar is like a star." The boy's eyes were like stars.
As if he had not expected the young Lu Xun to answer like this, the old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed a few times:
"You do look like a star... After all, you are a child of the stars."
"Children of the stars?"
"It's not just you." The old man pointed to the Big Dipper on the wall, "Do you know that the zinc in our blood comes from the dust ejected into the universe after two neutron star collisions? The trace amount of copper in our bodies needs to witness the death of a white dwarf. Even the most insignificant cobalt comes from nebulae billions of light years away...
The Earth cannot give birth to human beings. All of us...are children of the stars."
The young man Lu Xun raised his head and looked at the pattern of the Big Dipper on the wall, lost in thought.
