One Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety-Five for the Future Self

"——"First, face your past"——"

This is what the trials give.

Yes.

The first hurdle of this so-called trial is to face one's own past.

For most people, the past is not a good thing.

Because man is a creature that does stupid things.

No matter how good a person is, there have been times when they were immature, and there was a stage called the rebellious period, when they did things that made their future self feel ashamed and regretful.

Therefore, people usually hold a pessimistic attitude towards the past, hate the past self, deny the past, and do not want to look directly at the unbearable past, but optimistically admit the present self.

But that is also helpless.

Compared with the past, it is undoubtedly more important now, and it is also more meaningful.

Yesterday's self is definitely more ignorant than today's self.

Today's self is definitely more immature than tomorrow's self.

The past has been losing to the present.

The present has been losing to the future.

This is the truth of this world.

Perhaps, some people will also want to go back to the past, thinking that the past was better.

For example, people who are in poverty will miss the glory of their family, people with cancer will miss their healthy self, people who have done bad things will miss the time when they walked in the sun, and people who have no confidence in the future will also miss the past. There is no need to think about anything, just a childhood of eating, drinking and playing, so there will be something called "regret".

However, when this kind of pessimistic thought appears, it is destined to be cast with contempt by the future self, thinking that the self at this time is so immature.

And if it is possible to go back to the past and face the past, how will people react?

Confused?

Puzzled?

sigh?

pain?

These,

All are possible.

However, different people will definitely give different answers.

No matter what the process is, or what it will look like, as long as one can cross the past and come up with an answer, the witch who is observing all this and satisfying her own curiosity will affirm it.

Therefore, those who cannot accept their past, are immersed in sorrow and pain, and then shrink back, cannot overcome the trial.

On the contrary, those who can accept the past, and even make up their minds to make a clean break, can overcome the trials.

This is what trials are about.

And when Emilia was forced to face her past, Fang Li was also facing her past.

"woo woo woo woo…"

Crying sounded in this space.

Some of them are extremely depressing, some are unscrupulous, but anyone can feel the sadness and sadness in them.

Under the crying, a sad atmosphere permeated.

Beneath the crying, the sad mood was infectious.

Even the ignorant children were affected, and all of them burst into tears in the end.

Fang Li, who has returned to his childhood, is in such an environment, with one hand held by his mother, and his eyes are fixed on the front.

There, there is a black and white photo.

It is the grandfather who has passed away.

Naturally, Fang Li couldn't forget this past.

Because, it was on this day that Fang Li began to understand that he was different.

From this day on, Fang Li's life has been changed.

It is often said that if one person's perspective is different, the world will be completely different.

This sentence couldn't be more suitable for Fang Li.

His indifference to death made Fang Li gradually grow into a person who was out of tune with his surroundings.

Unable to feel sad about the death of those around him, Fang Li's personality became calm and decisive.

Unable to empathize with the death and grief of others, Fang Li gradually came to be seen as cold and heartless.

Parents think that this kind of Fangli is too precocious, not only confused, but sometimes even scared.

Friends all thought that such a Fang Li was too ruthless, and they all alienated him.

The reason why Fang Li became a squat at home is not unrelated to this.

And the starting point of this life is here.

"Facing the starting point of your own life, do you feel sad?"

The witch's voice whispered in his ear.

"Facing the beginning of your abnormality, do you feel sad?"

The murmur gradually became joyful, as if enjoying Fang Li's reaction.

But Fang Li turned a deaf ear, just staring at the old man in the nostalgic black and white photo in front of him, and looked at his mother beside him.

Mother was still crying, and the hand holding Fang Li was even a little cold.

This made Fang Li start to think.

"Why didn't you find it before?"

If you find it, you can keep your mother warm.

In that way, it should be able to play a somewhat comforting role and relieve the sadness of the people around you, right?

"Why didn't you find out until now?"

This is the so-called feeling that will inevitably arise when facing the past.

Regret the stupid things my past self did.

Feeling bad about the good things your past self didn't do.

Such a mood made Fang Li understand one thing.

"At that time, I was just staring at the death in front of me, ignoring the life around me."

The death of his grandfather opened a different curtain for Fang Li's life, but made Fang Li ignore the situation of his biological mother around him.

In the past, Fang Li always felt that he was a flawed person.

Only now did Fang Li know.

"It's not that my heart is flawed, it's just that my vision is too narrow."

I stared at "death" and ignored "life".

The self that existed in "life" went to "death".

This is Fang Li's past.

"Now, I won't do that again."

Even if death is recorded in the soul.

Even if you can't understand other people's grief.

So…

"I just share happiness with the people around me, and work hard together to survive death."

In Fang Li's eyes, the magic eye that looked directly at death finally appeared again.

manifested in his childhood self.

And, that's not an icy blue, but a bright iridescent.

"Beep...!"

In the brain, severe pain began to pass through.

"Slap...!"

In the soul, the ocean begins to churn.

But Fang Li ignored all of this.

Just like the current self would have negative feelings for the past self.

"For the sake of my future self, no matter how bad my current situation is, I will not hesitate."

As soon as these words came out, the world fell.

Whether it is the mother, relatives around me or the entire mourning hall here, they are all beginning to be broken.

The witch's laughter echoed in Fang Li's ears with great joy.

"You really are the best..."

In the voice full of love, the world around Fang Li collapsed.

Just like that, Fang Li was drawn into an empty space.

The body, bit by bit, returned to its adult state.

Then, Fang Li fell into the darkness.

There, give direct light.
