traveling doctor

Huang Jinchen ran two steps against the cold night wind, suddenly felt that something was wrong, grabbed Kou Tong, took off his wind-blown coat, put it on him, and said loudly in the chaos: "Boss, you can't dress like this even if you go into battle lightly!"

Kou Tong said: "Damn, big brother, my life is almost gone, can you let go of so many things?"

Huang Jinchen: "Huh?"

Kou Tong said: "There have been patients who committed suicide in the past because they couldn't distinguish between space and reality. After the collapse of the subject of consciousness, the space collapsed directly..."

Huang Jinchen said: "Isn't that better? We can go out now."

Kou Tong said: "Get out of here! I told you that now we are in an endless loop of unknown programs. When I created this program, I didn't think of using it, so I didn't set the projection limit value!"

Huang Jinchen reacted quickly: "So you mean, if you hang it here, you may really have to hang it on the wall from now on?"

Kou Tong thought for a while, and said very academically: "I can't say that, the probability is five to five."

Huang Jinchen was silent for a moment, and then yelled out "Oh": "I'll wipe it! Then why are you dawdling! Run!"

The two of them ran wildly on the street like a magnitude [-] earthquake. Although Huang Jinchen admired Kou Tong as if he were admiring an old hand-painted blue and white porcelain vase, he also deeply realized at this time that this half boss and senior is really like Kou Tong. He was as unreliable as a vase, and suddenly he felt a chill on his back, and a chill brought about by a bleak future rose from his heart.

The two of them ran across the street like climbing mountains and ridges, dodging countless arrows and arrows, and ran to the bottom of a building - it was very easy to find, because the whole area was collapsing everywhere, only this small area, like a typhoon Like eyes, strangely calm.

Due to his occupation, Huang Jinchen was very sensitive to tall buildings. Almost immediately, he saw a young man on the top of the building, with his feet hanging in mid-air, sitting on the railing, with his thin arms propped on his sides, grabbing He was looking down at the iron railing with an expression that he couldn't see clearly.

"On top." Huang Jinchen seemed to pull him, and quickly turned his gaze to the side, "Follow me."

He deftly led Kou Tong up the emergency evacuation passage of the building. The doors were all locked. In Huang Jinchen's eyes, those locks didn't seem to exist at all. There seemed to be a super processor in his brain that could convert any three-dimensional , It makes people look dizzy and confused, and the terrain in the southeast and northwest becomes a flat map for fools.

Five minutes later, when Kou Tong was standing behind a door that was in disrepair, and through the blurred glass above, he saw the figure of the young man with his back turned crookedly by the wind, he had some doubts that this building was actually a The backyard of Huang Jinchen's house.

Huang Jinchen proudly gestured at him - how about it, am I good?

Kou Tong had no time to pay attention to him, staring closely at the boy's back.

Now it is not a question of one person committing suicide. If he jumps, it is very likely that the entire building will collapse, and even the entire area will be affected by this conscious subject. Is there any mysterious connection between them?

And the location of his own home is likely to be among them.

I don't want to watch her die again... Even now, throughout the night, Kou Tong still failed to call "Mom".

Kou Tong made a gesture of "Stay here and don't move" to Huang Jinchen, and then suddenly pushed open the broken door in front of him, aiming at the boy who was about to jump... A pile of waste paper boxes five meters away rushed towards him. past.

Huang Jinchen: "..."

The boy was startled, and turned his head slowly to look at this strange man.

He found that the other party was wearing only a bathrobe and an overcoat that obviously didn't fit well. He hurriedly pushed the door and walked in. There was still a little sweat on the exposed forehead, with a strange shape and a distressed description.

He is a weird person, but what does that have to do with him?The young man thought indifferently - after today, after the final farewell to this world, everyone will have nothing to do with him.

The boy opened his mouth, wanting to warn the man not to meddle in other people's business, but found that the man didn't even look at him, but squatted on the ground and picked up a pile of waste paper in the corner irritably, lifted it up and looked at it, as if Looking for something, I rummaged for a long time, but found nothing, so I beat the iron pipes of the guardrail one by one in a weird way.

The man's expression was so irritated that the boy's eyes were involuntarily attracted to him for a moment, and in this moment, the man had already come to him.

Kou Tong tilted his ears and knocked on the iron railing one by one, as if judging something from the echo inside, then finally raised his head to look at the young man, and said to him: "Excuse me, can you come down first? You I can't hear you sitting here."

The young man frowned, and he couldn't believe his ears—he was about to jump from here, and someone ran up to tell him to come down first. He looked at Kou Tong in disbelief for a while, and then said coldly : "You can wait another 5 minutes, I will jump from here right away, and then you can knock whatever you want."

Unexpectedly, this person scratched his messy hair unreasonably, and said very impatiently: "Why are you in a hurry to jump off the building, wait for a while before jumping, I have something urgent!"

The young man felt insulted, even though he had made up his mind to end his life, it should be a tragic act that came to an end with great confusion and despair. In other words, such a sacred act as "suicide" is like queuing up to go to the public toilet!

"I'll jump first!"

"I'll knock first!"

The onlookers, Huang Jinchen, hurriedly covered their mouths, for fear that their laughter would be misleading.

The boy scolded angrily: "Where is the lunatic?!"

Kou Tong scolded back: "You are the lunatic! The lunatic jumped off the building! How polluting the environment!"

Boy: "You..."

Kou Tong grabbed him by the collar and abruptly lifted him down from the sky. Huang Jinchen was startled when he saw this boy. This boy is about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he is relatively thin, he is still a human being after all. , not a hairless chick.

Master Huang, whose head was full of strange colors like his surname, had a few strange little thoughts in his mind—he thought: This handsome guy looks thin, but he has a lot of strength, so he must be very talented.

Huang Jinchen looked out through the open door, and found that at some point, the trembling ground and the collapsed building had calmed down, and the boy was furious. Obviously, the anger towards the queue jumper had overshadowed the preparations for jumping off the building. mood.

But Kou Tong didn't even look at him, and concentrated on knocking on the protective fence, with his ears sideways, almost stuck to the cold iron pipe, with a serious face as if receiving a news station from outer space.

The boy looked at him coldly and knocked a full circle, then turned around slowly, with his back to the guardrail, and sat on the ground.

Kou Tong lit a cigarette, glanced at the boy indifferently, and nodded with his chin: "Okay, let's dance."

The teenager was furious.

Kou Tong's slightly wider sleeves dropped slightly, exposing his scarred forearm.

Huang Jinchen stopped laughing. He leaned against the backlit corner of the wall and observed Kou Tong carefully. His eyes were very good. From this angle, he could see the scars clearly, one by one, very messy. It's like drawing it yourself.

He remembered Kou Tong's electric shock-like movement when he accidentally bumped into him just now, but now he can show it as a prop without paying attention.

Huang Jinchen rubbed his chin. He always felt that Kou Tong was in two completely different states at work and in private. It was invisible on the surface, but in some details it seemed like the legendary multiple personality.

The young man's eyes fell on his arm without hesitation, and Kou Tong said mistyly, "What are you looking at? Oh... this, this one can't die, it has to be cut off at the main artery, and even if it is If you aim at the artery, the time to die is longer, and the success rate is not particularly high. If you want to die, I think the idea of ​​jumping off a building is a good idea, and it is more reliable than taking sleeping pills and cutting your wrists."

The boy hesitated for a moment, and sat down beside him: "How did you do it?"

Kou Tong glanced at him: "Go to the forest park and let the big black bear scratch it."

The young man snorted: "Liar."

Kou Tong ignored him indifferently, but after a while, the boy said by himself: "I also have this kind of scar."

After he finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves. There were even incomplete scars on the delicate skin, which looked blood-stained. Sitting together, the two of them looked like a pair of inmates who came out of a scum hole, exchanging tortures. experience.

"What's your name?" Kou Tong asked.

"He Xiaozhi." The boy said.

"Oh." Kou Tong nodded, paused for a while, and then said slowly, "The person I love the most in this life, she doesn't want me anymore."

He Xiaozhi turned to look at him and said, "What?"

Huang Jinchen also stretched his neck to look over, thinking: What?

Under the starlight, Kou Tong's face looked a little blurred, even a little tired, which made him look like a young man, with some indescribable meaning of vicissitudes...

Like what he said was true.

Kou Tong went on to say: "Before she left, she said she left some things for me. It's on the top of this building, but I couldn't find it anywhere."

He Xiaozhi asked: "Then what are you doing knocking on the pole?"

Kou Tong said: "She knocked on the guardrail here at this rhythm. I would run up to knock on this day every year, but I couldn't find it."

"Oh." He Xiaozhi paused for a while, not quite able to understand this kind of behavior, and still felt that he was a little crazy, so he comforted him, "Don't think about it, it's not your fault that others don't want you."

Kou Tong asked back: "Then why are you?"

"I think... living is very boring." He Xiaozhi's eyes were blurred for a while, and then he rested his chin on his knees, and said slowly, "What am I doing alive? I can't think of it, it's better to die."

"To be alive...it's too painful." His voice became lower and slower, and the anger he felt when he was interrupted by Kou Tong because of the suicide process at the beginning was like some kind of consumable item, which quickly disappeared. Step back from him.

Kou Tong frowned, knowing that his crisis intervention was a success, but the problem of this young man named He Xiaozhi was probably very serious, and it could not be solved by talking for a day and a half. He thought about it, so he asked tentatively: "You Big fart, what's the pain?"

The corners of He Xiaozhi's mouth curled up, as if he wanted to smile, but the smile disappeared quickly without taking shape. He seemed not to want to explain any more, and after an unknown amount of time, he whispered to Kou Tong: "If there is no Me, a lot of people would be better off? You wouldn't understand."

That question was wrong——Kou Tong frowned suddenly, and this thought flashed in his mind. Instead of continuing the topic of the meaning of "living", he just stubbed out the cigarette butt, dropped it from the sky, and laughed. He said: "Want to die? I said you are too slow, didn't you notice?"

He Xiaozhi looked up at him slowly, with a blank expression.

Kou Tong picked up his collar, lifted him from the ground, pulled him to the edge of the guardrail, pointed to the mess on the ground and said, "Come here and have a look."

He Xiaozhi's eyes were a little empty, as if he was no longer in a state, as if he had retracted into his own world, but even so, after staring downstairs for a long time, he still noticed something was wrong, and couldn't help pointing at the Chu said: "Isn't there... a movie theater? Why did it become a building? Also, the vegetable market over there is gone, and neither is the supermarket..."

"Even if you jump down, you won't die." Kou Tong let go of him, pointing to the surroundings, "Do you know what I mean by coming here once a year to knock on these railings?"

He Xiaozhi frowned.

The strong wind on the top floor blew the messy hair on Kou Tong's forehead. He said with a sarcastic smile: "Because this is not the real world, the time and place here are disordered and illogical. My timeline and her The timeline of the timeline broke in half and joined at this point, so I might be able to find that thing she hid at that time, at this junction... oh well, you don't understand, listen Did you mention the projector?"

"A projector for slides?"

Kou Tong let out a "bah": "Children don't study well, and it's terrible to be uneducated-the projector is a new auxiliary device for psychotherapy, and its full name is multi-dimensional variable frequency projection equipment. During the experiment, we There have been some accidents that caused the consciousness of many people to be drawn into a different dimension, do you understand that?"

He Xiaozhi froze for a moment, then shook his head.

"You still don't understand? Let's be more intuitive." Kou Tong grabbed his collar and pressed his head down, "Have you seen those blown windows and messy streets? It's all because of you."

He Xiaozhi opened his eyes wide.

Kou Tong said pressingly, "I just confirmed that you are one of the spatial consciousness subjects."

"……I?"

"If you just succeeded in committing suicide, all these spaces affected by your consciousness will collapse, and these people will all die."

He Xiaozhi opened his eyes wide, but Kou Tong sneered: "But the only person who will not die is you. Your consciousness will enter the device cache and then be released back. This is because the projection device was designed for safety. The principle of no lower limit value set for the sake of consideration.”

Huang Jinchen thought silently, didn't he just say that projection restrictions don't exist.

Is that sentence nonsense?

Kou Tong said sharply, "This is no longer murder, it's massacre."
