The moment he opened his eyes, the unlucky lawyer An Rao was dragged into an amusement park.
Bad news: There's a penalty for losing the game—the kind where you lose your life.
Goo...
Chapter 107 Bungee Jumping Machine 11 (End) Those happiness are nothing but...
"Yes, I am." An Rao nodded.
The doctor was somewhat surprised at An Rao's calmness, but he was not surprised for too long. Seeing that An Rao was in good control of his emotions, he hesitated for a short while before continuing, "The patient was hit hard, with multiple comminuted fractures all over his body and severe brain damage, and he is in a coma. You must prepare for the worst."
"The worst plan? What is the worst plan?!" Su Ming next to him almost screamed, "Doctor, please repeat what the worst plan means!"
An Rao waved his hand at Su Ming to signal him not to make trouble, then turned to look at the doctor: "The worst-case scenario is that the patient cannot be saved, right?"
"Uh..." The doctor was frightened by the cold aura of the man in front of him. It took him a while to react before he nodded and said, "Yes."
"I thought the worst-case scenario was that he would remain unconscious," An Rao sighed softly, "Being unconscious is not the worst outcome..."
"Mr. Baichuan's best outcome is probably a vegetative state," the doctor said, not giving An Rao any chance to imagine. "He was hit too hard."
A loud thunderclap resounded through the sky, and Lancheng, which had been sunny for only two days, was hit by heavy rain again.
"What?!" Su Ming rushed over and grabbed the doctor's arms. "What did you say? Use your best machines and the best medicine! We can afford it, any price!"
"This is not a matter of money," the doctor said helplessly. "His brain damage is too severe. The best case scenario is that he is in a vegetative state. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of him waking up. The worst outcome is of course sudden organ failure, which is not impossible. His internal organs are severely damaged. If they are not carefully cared for, they may fail at any time."
"Careful maintenance! Of course we will carefully maintain it, no matter how much it costs! Use the best medicine and the best equipment!" Su Ming almost jumped up.
On the contrary, An Rao stood aside and watched Su Ming yelling at the doctor, but he began to think in his heart: the amusement park can now be regarded as a naked threat. If the evidence is destroyed, Baichuan may not wake up. If it is reported, Baichuan will definitely die and Su Ming will definitely lose everything.
It's really a plan that leaves nothing to chance.
No one was allowed to enter the ICU ward where Baichuan was staying today. An Raoku sat on a bench outside the ward, feeling tired and exhausted. His tense and severely traumatized nerves relaxed under the dim corridor lights, and he fell asleep leaning against the cold corridor of the ward without any support.
In his dream, he was standing in the amusement park again, and the iron fence was closed between him and Baichuan again. He stood still, looking at the dark wellhead in front of him for a long time, and then walked towards the wellhead alone.
The black wellhead swallowed An Rao in an instant. When his eyes lit up again, he found himself sitting on a bungee jumping machine. Amid the "clicking" sound of the machine, he rose steadily. The scenery before him was his past with Baichuan and Su Ming. The quarrels, laughter, hugs, kisses, desires... were all vivid in his mind.
There were two buttons next to his hand, one with Su Ming and the other with Baichuan, which seemed to mean that he had to make a choice.
The bungee jumping machine has reached the top but has not fallen down. In fact, this bungee jumping machine has been rising all the time and has never fallen down. There is the sound of wind in An Rao's ears, the city view of Lancheng under his feet, and only two buttons at hand.
What to choose?
Choosing Su Ming means that Wei Ran’s crimes will not be exposed, that Su Ming will successfully hold a concert in Chengguan, and that Baichuan will definitely face the worst outcome.
Choosing Bai Chuan means that Su Ming will completely collapse and never recover because of Wei Ran, and that Bai Chuan will become a vegetable that cannot be awakened.
Baichuan... It seems that no matter which choice he makes, Baichuan will not be any better, but how can he kill the person he loves the most? !
Unable to choose either, An Rao sat on a high place, with the strong wind at the top of Lan City under his feet and his happy life all around him. He understood the significance of this amusement project.
No matter what you choose from the bungee jumping machine, everything you currently have will be shattered, and all that happiness will be nothing but flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, and you will definitely fall from the clouds, and nothing will be left of your body.
"Brother?" Su Ming, carrying a bowl of steaming millet porridge and steamed buns, gently pushed An Rao's shoulder, "Brother?"
The dream faded away, An Rao slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him was his younger brother Su Ming.
"Brother, wake up and eat something!" Su Ming squatted aside, put the thermos bag in his hand on the chair next to him, and then took out the food from the thermos bag one by one, "You didn't eat anything yesterday, eat something quickly, don't fall down, if you have any problems, Brother Baichuan will scold me again when he wakes up."
After a while, a bowl of fragrant millet porridge was stuffed into An Rao's hand.
The jumping machine, Baichuan, Su Ming, and myself...
An Rao looked down at the warm porridge in his hand. If this was an amusement ride called bungee jumping, then where was the boss?
"Mingming, do you still remember the Duke of Newcastle?" An Rao looked down at Su Ming who was squatting in front of him, "Or the hide-and-seek game in the villa? Or the Happy Village?"
"What?" Su Ming looked at An Rao in confusion, and soon, his confusion turned into fear, "Brother, do you want to go home and rest?"
An Rao shook his head gently, picked up the porridge in his hand and drank it slowly.
The dream just now was undoubtedly a hint, but would the amusement park really be so kind as to let me simply make a heartbreaking decision between two options?
Baichuan is actually a person who does not exist, and Su Ming is just a strange kid she met in the amusement park. The reason why she has to choose between these two people is because she can't even find someone she cares about in her real life. An Rao smiled helplessly and sadly. The happier her life in the bungee jumping machine is, the lonelier and more miserable her life in reality is.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the end of the corridor. A group of doctors and nurses rushed to the ICU ward where Baichuan was. They were discussing something while walking quickly, without considering the mood of the family members outside the ward at all.
Su Ming stood up suddenly, grabbed a nurse and asked about the situation. The nurse didn't have time to answer, and just said that the patient's condition was unstable and followed the doctor into the ward in a hurry.
The patient's condition is unstable? Su Ming quickly turned back to look at An Rao, but found that his brother didn't seem to hear this at all. He was still sitting in the chair and slowly drinking the porridge in his hand.
Su Ming was even more worried... Brother Baichuan was already like this, but he was still drinking porridge. This was not normal! Was there something wrong? I heard that when a person suffers a great blow, the body's protective mechanism will automatically start filtering, and everything related to the trauma will be automatically blocked...
However, An Rao was obviously not the kind of person who was protected by his own protection mechanism. Of course, he also heard what the nurse said. In fact, these unstable conditions and the hurried doctors and nurses were just oppression imposed on him by the amusement park.
So where is the exit.
The cool summer breeze in the early morning rushed in from the window, making An Rao feel a little chilly, and the feeling of the cool breeze blowing past him in his dream suddenly woke him up.
Falling from a high altitude, illusory happiness, the cruelty of choosing between two options...
An Rao looked at Su Ming, who was standing at the door of the ICU ward with a nervous and worried look on his face, and suddenly thought that whether it was Su Ming or Bai Chuan, they were all illusions, and the amusement park also knew clearly that it knew that these were all illusions, so in fact no matter which one he chose, it would not hurt his foundation, so this game would not be stupid enough to really let him do multiple-choice questions.
So what's the problem?
Falling from a height...
Suddenly, as if a bolt of lightning split the chaos, An Rao's mind buzzed, is it true or false?
Which one would you choose: the perfect happy life in the amusement park or the lonely and miserable life in reality?
If you choose one, it means the collapse of the other. It turns out that in this level, you are the boss, the monster that can destroy the entire world.
If they stay here, maybe Baichuan will wake up, Su Ming will get through the hard times, and they will eventually have a happy life. If they choose reality, they will only be alone and face endless deception and betrayal.
Which one do you choose?
An Rao watched the red light in the ICU ward turn on. Baichuan was about to face a new round of rescue, Su Ming had to go back to prepare for the concert, and the debauchery on Paradise Island continued.
"What is the tallest building in Lancheng?" An Rao asked suddenly.
"Yes..." Su Ming hesitated, but out of his almost unconditional trust in his brother, he still answered honestly, "It's the office building where you work."
"Do you know how many people jump from here every day?" This was the first day after I arrived in this virtual world, Lawyer Wang threatened me.
Sure enough, everything had a foreshadowing.
An Rao put down the porridge, told Su Ming to guard the door, and then walked out without looking back.
His steps were getting faster and faster, so fast that Su Ming couldn't catch up at all. Before An Rao could react, he had already sat in a taxi bound for the law firm's office.
The fun of bungee jumping is the feeling of falling out of control from a great height, and the same is true of one's own life. From happiness and contentment to cold and misery, isn't it also a fall? For those who have been suffering from hunger and cold, after having the best life, do they still have the courage to return to their previous embarrassment?
Everyone says that if you can take it, you can let it go, but everyone knows that it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. It is very difficult. After enjoying the warmth, who would be willing to go back to a freezing cold place, even if they grew up in the freezing cold.
An Rao didn't know what others would choose, but he could only choose the truth.
Even if the real Su Ming was just a silly stranger whom he met at the amusement park, even if there might not be a person named Baichuan in the real world.
It started raining again in Lancheng. An Rao got out of the car and looked up at the sky. There were wisps of clouds wrapped around the waist of the office building, making it impossible to see the top of the building.
The stairs leading to the top floor of the signal tower were dark and deserted. An Rao could almost hear his heartbeat like a drum and his heavy breathing. The dust was flying due to the intrusion of humans, and An Rao felt that his nose was filled with the smell of dust. Darkness, silence, dust and the coldness that did not belong to this season, as if the world had been destroyed and only he was left to survive.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the small door at the top of the stairs finally appeared in front of him. An Rao didn't think too much along the way. The phone in his pocket kept ringing. An Rao knew that Su Ming was worried about him, but it didn't matter whether he answered it or not. He had already made his choice. As long as he jumped from here, it would be like a bungee jumping machine falling from the top. All the falsehoods would be shattered, including Su Ming who was calling him, and Bai Chuan who was being rescued.
We will meet in another world.
There was a lock on the door. As no one had opened it for a long time, the lock was covered with a layer of dark yellow rust. An Rao took out a paper clip from his pocket, straightened it, and then inserted it into the keyhole. This was the method Baichuan taught him. It was an essential skill for him to successfully pry open the new lock of his new home every time.
"Bang." The lock was pried open, and the metallic collision sound of the thick iron bolt being pushed open was harsh and loud in the small and quiet space, and An Raoxin was also shocked.
"Whoosh——" A huge sound of wind blew in from the small door that was opened, blowing An Rao back a step.
If you ask whether he is afraid or not, he is still afraid, but from the moment An Rao was hit by Bai Chuan, he began to calculate, calculate the rationality of the whole thing, calculate the purpose of the amusement park, and even began to calculate the monster called Dimon that he could not compete with at all. And the subsequent development of events and that dream can and can only point to one result - he must die, only death is the only exit of this amusement project, and the boss of this amusement project can be said to be himself, or his own inner demon, his desire and his hope.
An Rao was looking down against the strong wind. There were still many tourists taking photos in front of this landmark building in Lan City. He didn't know how the amusement park would end. If he had to fall to the ground, An Rao felt extremely sorry for the psychological trauma he would cause to the tourists downstairs.
The phone was still buzzing. An Rao finally answered it and said to Su Ming in the howling wind, "See you later, Mingming."
After saying that, An Rao threw away the phone, climbed over the railing and jumped down. The wind was whistling, blowing his shirt up. The talisman behind his waist, which was usually invisible, suddenly glowed purple. He heard someone screaming. It was obviously the tallest building in Lan City, but in just a moment, the ground was already in front of him.
Anrao closed his eyes before darkness came.
"Bang!"
