Chapter 1: Why Did I Die for No Apparent Reason? (Edited)
"My name is Li Zheng. I'm not an actor, but I was pulled here to shoot a low-cost science fiction film..." Li Zheng looked at the royal sister who was sitting not far away and laughing heartlessly, and then looked at the script in his hand. This is obviously a studio, surrounded by blue curtains - you can tell at a glance that it is a low-cost film studio commonly used for making movies to facilitate post-production background synthesis.
The heartless royal sister sitting far away has been looking at her phone and laughing for almost ten minutes. It was obviously her who pulled Li Zheng here, but after entering here, she just sat there playing with her phone, laughing while playing, and completely ignored the junior who was standing aside and trying to help wholeheartedly.
This is the activity room of the Xichuan University Film Club, which has now been specially transformed into a studio for shooting science fiction films. Li Zheng is a sophomore at Xichuan University, and he came here today because of the request of his best friend, the president of the school board game club. The sister of the school board game club president Feng Jingxuan, Feng Ziwei, is the president of the school film club. She is a senior sister and is currently planning to shoot a science fiction micro-film as a graduation commemoration. However, due to the lack of candidates for the second male lead, Feng Jingxuan recommended Li Zheng to his sister.
Thinking of Feng Jingxuan's efforts in the dormitory a few days ago, asking and tempting Li Zheng, Li Zheng had to put down the design he was doing and agreed to Feng Jingxuan to help his sister act in this low-cost science fiction micro-film.
Li Zheng is studying computer science at Xichuan University, yes, the "male-female ratio is 1, one couple and one gay" computing "basic" major. He is usually busy like a dead dog, and he is not used to playing online games when he has free time. So he simply finds Feng Jingxuan, the president of the board game club in the same dormitory, to play a few rounds of board games to have fun. Among them, the two of them play the Yu-Gi-Oh series and the Three Kingdoms series most often, and the Yu-Gi-Oh series is the most frequent.
The reason is simple. Although Feng Jingxuan is the president of the board game club, it is more because he is popular. His ability to play board games is simply terrible. But the expensive and rare cards in the Yu-Gi-Oh series of board games can make up for the technical flaws to a certain extent, so Feng Jingxuan, as a rich second-generation, bought a lot of expensive cards to strengthen his deck; and although Li Zheng's family is not bad, his parents' only standard for pocket money is "never give you a penny beyond the budget before you find a girlfriend", and at the same time, Li Zheng is studying computer science, so for reasons that everyone understands, his available funds every month are pitifully small.
But even so, Feng Jingxuan lost more than he won in the duel with Li Zheng. Every time Feng Jingxuan saw Li Zheng beat him with those cheap decks, he burst into tears.
And now, in order to let Li Zheng help his sister play the second male lead - a mentally ill patient - Feng Jingxuan cried and gave Li Zheng all kinds of rare cards he had collected for many years as a reward - it is completely conceivable that Feng Jingxuan would be beaten by Li Zheng after losing these rare cards.
But just this weekend, when Li Zheng came to the office of the film club, Feng Ziwei only gave him the script, and then nothing happened. Other actors didn't see it either, and this queen only knew how to look at her phone and laugh.
Helplessly, Li Zheng had to stand there and complain, and then he thought to himself that the girls from the art college were really not something that programmers like me could understand.
Complaining, Li Zheng still remembered what he was here for. He walked forward with the script, looked at the unscrupulous queen and said, "I, Feng Ziwei, how should I act? Don't always leave me there."
"Ah, don't take it so seriously. Come on, sister, let me tell you, before, my brother and I were guessing what your first sentence would be after leaving you alone for a while. I guessed that you would complain about me, and it turned out to be true!" The senior sister laughed shamelessly, which made Li Zheng feel very bad, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: [What else can I do if I don't complain about you? How long have you left me alone? ! I'm not a tremor! 】
"In short, I'm here to act. Although I only have experience in acting in dramas before, I still know that you can't shoot a movie alone. You should tell me what to do next. I'm still waiting to go back and play cards with your brother." Li Zheng said with anger. He received so many rare cards, and he had already formed countless tactics in his mind that could torture Feng Jingxuan to death. So now he is thinking more about going back and playing a game with Feng Jingxuan, to torture him, to "repay" the brother and sister who teased him.
But the senior sister did not give a positive answer. She smiled mysteriously and said slowly: "This won't work, because you are already dead."
"!!!" Li Zheng was shocked. How could a healthy person like him suddenly die? "Don't panic, how could I be dead? There is no...sign at all. I just had a physical examination last month. Don't scare me. Even if you are my best friend's sister, you are not Jing Sha himself. You can't joke about this."
"Don't believe it? No wonder. It is difficult to detect the symptoms you have with modern technology. If you don't believe it, you can go out and try."
With a skeptical attitude, Li Zheng opened the door of the office, but found that the outside was no longer the teaching building of Xichuan University. Instead, it was thousands of feet high in the sky!
There were huge clouds floating around, and countless huge balls shining with light were suspended in the sky - those balls of light were as big as trucks, and many angels with white wings could be seen flying freely in the distance.
Li Zheng's foot did not touch the ground. He forced himself to calm down and retracted his foot. Looking at Feng Ziwei who was still smiling slightly, he did not dare to mess around and asked cautiously: "How did I die? Where is this place? Who are you? Jing Sha... Oh no, who is your brother Feng Jingxuan? Finally, who am I?"
"Really, why are all these difficult questions to answer? Can't you ask a simple one like 'Which company has the best excavator technology'? Even if you ask me if I have loved before, I can say 'I have loved before' against my will to comfort you." The senior sister seemed to be cute again, but this was meaningless to Li Zheng who had become completely serious, so she had to sigh: "Alas, the first question, your physical examination results are indeed healthy, but you actually have a disease that cannot be detected by current technology. Your heart hurts irregularly once a week, right? This is one of the symptoms, but when it doesn't hurt, the examination is different from the normal There is no difference between normal and normal, so it cannot be detected. But this disease, which I named "nocturnal syndrome", can cause sudden death. You actually died not long after entering here, so fast that you didn't even feel it; the second question, this place is called Valhalla, it is an office lent to me by the local owner, and I have to return it to others after completing the work related to you; the third question, secret; the fourth question, the brother of the secret; the fifth question, aren't you making things difficult for me? Socrates said that this question should be thought about by yourself, so please respect the ancient philosophers! "
This is the first time that the royal sister has said so much in front of Li Zheng. Although Li Zheng thinks that these words are useless, he touched his pulse to confirm that he was really dead, without a pulse or heartbeat. He even realized now that he had not breathed naturally for more than ten minutes, except for his conscious inhalation.
After calming down, Li Zheng asked, "Then what exactly am I here for? You called me here for a reason other than to tease me, a patient with 'night syndrome', right?"
"Smart, honest, if you hadn't died today, you would have used computers to bring about a wave of innovation in the world when you were about 0 years old. But now you're dead, and everything would have ended, but my brother and I thought of another effect of 'night syndrome', so we called you here - in fact, I don't have any science fiction micro-films to shoot here."
"Another effect of 'night syndrome'?" Li Zheng frowned and asked seriously.
"That's right. Another effect of 'Nocturnal Syndrome' is that if the soul of a person who died of 'Nocturnal Syndrome' can be transferred to another world within 10 years, then this person can live forever as a ghost attached to another person - or a heroic spirit!" Feng Ziwei stood up, put one hand on Li Zheng's shoulder and pointed to the vast distance with the other hand, and said in an impassioned manner: "Young man, do you know that traveling with plug-ins is no longer popular these days? Becoming a plug-in yourself is the hard truth!" She raised her mobile phone and said, "This 'Background Spirit Cultivation System' is entrusted to you!"
"...Can I refuse?" Li Zheng held his forehead and said speechlessly.
"Huh? Why? Why do you refuse to become a legend?" Feng Ziwei was stunned. She never thought that there would be young men who refused to travel these days.
"Well, the reason is of course very simple." Li Zheng scratched his head and said, "I think there are many people in this world who want to travel through time, but I happen to not be one of them. Look at me, my family is in the smartphone business, my parents are busy all day, and I have a 14-year-old sister at home waiting for me to teach her. The standard setting of 'having a sister and a house, and parents are busy', plus the identity of an entrepreneur's offspring, don't you think it would be more normal for me to be given the 'Urban Dragon Ao Zhao Ritian System'? Good things like traveling through time should be given to others."
"Well, good, but it's meaningless." Feng Ziwei was a little embarrassed, but pretended to be serious, "Do you know why you died young due to night syndrome? I guess it's because you, a bastard, are too much of a winner in life, and you were punished by heaven. Yes, according to your setting, it is indeed more suitable to be placed in the city to pretend to be cool, maybe you can pretend to be Ye Liangchen. But for people, the most basic and important thing is life, and reality is cruel. You are already dead, so don't make so much noise."
