Golden Town [Unlimited]

The boss, Wang Hui, stood in the audience and said "she is the one chosen by the town" thoughtlessly, and everyone on and off the stage were stunned.

Shen Tingbei's curiosity about the boss reached an all-time high, and he directly asked, "Where did you know about it? There's also news about us, how come you know everything about it?"

The boss glanced at Shen Tingbei, then pointed to the soaring fire that was already visible to the naked eye on the back mountain, and said, "Is Mr. Shen going to ask me this kind of question at this moment?"

Shen Tingbei and Ye Tao looked at each other - he was avoiding answering the question.

But I have to admit that his trick did work.The situation has come to this point, it would be inappropriate for Shen Tingbei to follow up and ask.

The boss raised his chin at Wang Yingying, signaling her to go on stage.But Wang Yingying bit her lip and shook her head with a troubled expression.

"I can't sing." She said softly.

The boss looked at her quietly, "This is the best stage."

Wang Yingying paused when she waved her hand.

Everyone on the stage also urged her to go up, after all, they had just spread their teeth and claws on the stage for a long time and didn't produce anything, and the fire didn't get smaller but grew bigger.

Wang Yingying pursed her lips, and exclaimed when she was still hesitating——she had been carried onto the stage by the boss.Ye Tao also grabbed her arm and carried her to the stage.

"I..." Wang Yingying was still hesitant.

The boss just stood under the stage and looked at her. He didn't say anything about the fire in the house. He just sat on the ruins and looked at her tenderly.

Wang Yingying's mind flashed back a long, long time ago, and her brother sat at the dining table looking at her like this, and told her gently but firmly: "You deserve a bigger stage. After you sing, everyone will know that there are beautiful people in the West District." little girl."

Wang Hui also seemed to remember this scene, and smiled slightly, "You deserve it."

Wang Yingying's lips trembled.

Wang Mazi also ran over panting, holding his stomach.He sat down next to the boss and looked at Wang Yingying with a smile.

The father and son hadn't seen each other for so many years, the first thing they did was not to greet each other, but to look at Wang Yingying standing on the stage with gentle eyes.

Wang Yingying took a deep breath, and when she was about to open her mouth, she raised her eyes and saw that her face filled the entire big screen not far away.

The courage she had just mustered up was like a deflated rubber ball. Her whole body collapsed, her eyes began to dodge, and her whole body shrank into a small ball.

But there was no time for Wang Yingying to hesitate. During the time she didn't speak, the fire in the back mountain had already rushed to the block in front.

Wang Yingying swallowed, closed her eyes, and began to sing the song she sang to Ye Tao and the others.

Nervous, trembling, swallowing saliva constantly.

Not to mention that the stage has not changed at all, and the fire has not disappeared.

Everyone on and off the stage paused, and they all looked at the boss sitting in the audience—if Wang Yingying was really chosen by the town, why did she start singing, but there was no change in the town? .

The boss also looked very puzzled, obviously he did not expect such a situation to happen.

At this moment, Wu Rong walked over from a distance with the help of the barista.

The barista I met yesterday has completely changed today, not to mention that there is no clean place on his body, and the sleeve on the right is also empty, leaving only a white gauze soaked with blood.

Shen Tingbei looked at the barista in surprise.

But the barista looked normal, and even said with a smile: "I'm too old now."

Wu Rong stood beside him with a sad face.

The barista suppressed the smile on his face, looked at Wang Yingying and said seriously: "Since you have stood on this stage, you must treat him seriously. Although the West District has contributed all its resources to build the East District, the people in the East District also It’s not really about sitting back and enjoying. On the day of the Golden Party, every Eastsider who stands on the stage and performs on the stage has a mission to make the entire town safe. Now, you need to carry this mission.”

The barista's handsome face was unusually serious, and the one who talked and laughed in the coffee shop yesterday was completely different.

When Wang Yingying was about to speak, the barista interrupted her by raising her hand, and continued: "Since you are on this stage, don't shrink back. Don't say you dare, don't say you are afraid, and don't avoid the camera, everyone is now Waiting for you to put the fire out. If the town's original fire was anger at the unfairness of East and West, now you can turn it into a fire of hope that will bring East and West back together."

After the barista finished speaking, she sat down with Wu Rong and looked at Wang Yingying firmly.

As the barista's voice fell, many people from the East District came from all directions in the town.In small buildings with dilapidated walls, houses in unregulated areas, bushes on both sides of the street... They gathered under the stage and spontaneously sat beside the barista, Mazi Wang and the boss.

Their eyes were dim, and they looked at Wang Yingying on the stage without any contempt or discrimination, as if they were looking at another compatriot who was also suffering.

Wang Yingying could see clearly on the stage. After she took a deep breath, she opened her mouth again.

When Wang Yingying's clear voice resounded in the small town again, everything seemed to be quiet, and the stage put her voice very far.

The morning sun became less dazzling, and the Eastsiders sitting under the stage became extraordinarily gentle, as if everything could be forgotten and washed in this instant.

The sound of accompaniment suddenly sounded from the stereo, and Wang Yingying was getting better.She walked to the center of the stage and looked straight at the big screen opposite.

Her baby-fat face was still on the screen, but she bravely looked straight at it, and slowly puffed out her chest.

Her brother once stepped through the door of fire from the west district for her, and was disfigured at the same time as plastic surgery, and came to the east district.Just to give her a chance to perform, just to tell everyone living in this small town that no matter what we look like, as long as our hearts are clear, anyone can stand up and sing.

Wang Yingying's voice was louder, and she raised her head.

At the same time, in various corners of the East District, some people walked out supporting each other—men wearing camouflage uniforms and holding masks in their hands, and women wearing scarves around their faces.

These weak-looking women really managed to stop the red-eyed men last night.

The couple sat down, and the man helped the woman take off the scarf covering her face.Wipe away their tears.

At this moment, everything became unimportant. Everyone sat quietly, listening to Wang Yingying singing, and watching the sky gradually brighten and the sun rise from the horizon.

The singing sound surrounded the whole town, and everyone's eyes lit up with some different lights.

Ye Tao jumped down from the stage, stood beside Shen Tingbei, and held his hand.

"Look." Ye Tao's eyes turned to the smaller fire in the back mountain.

Shen Tingbei sighed: "I didn't expect that the annual golden party would have such a mission and task. The East District has never talked about these things with the West District."

"The angle of consideration is different, but they will get better."

"En." Shen Tingbei nodded heavily.

While the two were enjoying this rare moment of peace, Lin Songyuan ran over from the road panting.

Supporting his knees, he gasped, "The door in the rockery tunnel behind the house can be passed through, and the fire is gone."

After Lin Songyuan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Tingbei, "Xiaobei, I will explain to you after I have something to say."

Shen Tingbei's expression was indifferent, obviously he no longer considered him a friend.He just nodded to show that he understood.

Lin Songyuan was stunned, straightened up and smiled wryly, he asked for it all.

When Ye Tao greeted the rest of the people to go out with Lin Songyuan, Shen Tingbei looked at the boss.

"Why do you know about us?"

The boss smiled lightly, and pointed to Lin Songyuan who was walking in front of everyone.

"Hasn't Mr. Shen already found the answer?"

Shen Tingbei frowned and squinted at the boss, this was not an answer.

Perhaps Shen Tingbei's expression of dissatisfaction was too obvious, the boss said helplessly: "I'm just an ordinary person who will live here forever, but Lin Songyuan can give you the answer you want."

"Are you... a living person?" Shen Tingbei asked such a question to the aborigines in the town for the first time.

It's not that he didn't suspect it before, for example, the aborigines in Xuebai Town are obviously mechanical algorithms, and he knows it without asking.Including those towns imagined and built by people in the real world, most of the aborigines inside are passers-by, not to mention his own emotions, Shen Tingbei can't even remember their faces.

But in this small town, all the residents are like living human beings.Their emotions, their concepts, their thoughts, and their overwhelming anger all happened so vividly in front of Shen Tingbei.

The boss sat on the ground, looked at Shen Tingbei who was looking down at him in the backlight, and asked: "Why does Dr. Shen think he is a living person? Why can't Dr. Shen be an algorithm? Why can't our town be the real one?" , and what you call the real world is false?"

He looked at Shen Tingbei with a smile, "Dr. Shen, do you really understand this world?"

Shen Tingbei felt cold all over his body, and when he was about to ask again, his eyes were interrupted by a burst of intense white light.

Waking up again, Shen Tingbei thought he was back in the courtyard.But looking at the downpour outside the bridge hole and the black umbrella in his hand.His whole body trembled violently.

Shen Ting was drenched in the rain, and stood on the bridge alone. He had been to the town surrounded by rain and fog too many times in the distance.

Entering the town after amnesia, the strange flashback after catching Shen Tingnan, and the folding dark tunnel last time.

This small town is where it all started.

Shen Tingbei's ears still echoed what the boss said before leaving the last town.

"Do you really understand the world?"

Shen Tingbei gritted his teeth with a grim expression, "I don't understand this world with a Ph.D. in physics and biology, so no one will understand."

"I want to see it!"

Braving the heavy rain, Shen Tingbei ran wildly on the bridge deck, the rainwater splashed by his stepping on Lao Gao, hitting the bridge piers with a muffled sound.

Shen Tingbei's figure disappeared into the rain.

The author has something to say: I am telling the truth!Isn't this ending very warm! !

Suggest the bgm "Halle dew jah" (it's still the song in "The Voice of Joy", it doesn't have any religious meaning, it's simple and nice!)
