Spectacle
Shang Jingyan was fine at first, but when he heard these words, his heart suddenly felt like it was pricked by a needle.
"Come in." Shang Song patted her shoulder instead, as if the emotion he just expressed was just a sudden emotion.
Shang Jingyan experienced the second unexpected thing today.
——The room behind this door turned out to be the rental house where Shang Song lived with her.
After Shang Song left, she no longer lived in the original house, but moved to a one-bedroom apartment, which was the one she lived in before she traveled through time, and she left all the furniture behind.
The walls are pure white, without wallpaper, the curtains are plain gray, and the furniture is all simple in style.
But there is a rocking horse with a very evil expression next to the black sofa, a clown doll is placed on the coffee table, and there are a lot of photography model toys on the floor...all of which are traces left by a child.
Shang Jingyan pulled the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh but unable to, and thought to himself that it turned out that his aesthetic taste was similar to horror movies when he was a child.
Moreover, she realized that Shang Song might have really tried to be a good parent. The set of photography toys on the ground was actually handmade, and included classic models from every era. She didn't notice the details when she was a child, but now she has seen the clues.
Shang Song motioned for her to sit anywhere, and sat on the sofa, with the head of the rocking horse next to her hand: "Although I will answer your questions, there are some questions that I cannot answer in your current state, otherwise it will affect you."
"This world is very dangerous. First I need to tell you a few rules for survival." She casually put her hair up again, still using the same pen.
"First, the system is not trustworthy, don't fall in love here;"
"Second, the familiar people you see may not be the people you know. Anyone can mutate, including me;"
"Third, horror works are safe. When you can't tell whether a person is mutated, you can use horror works to test;"
"Fourth, the time period when you can see the moon is the most dangerous time period, try to avoid being exposed to moonlight;"
"Fifth, the information in your light brain group chat is more credible than real people;"
"Sixth, if you think you see a jellyfish at any time, do not hesitate, flee immediately;"
"seventh……"
Shang Song slowed down, wrote down a sentence on the paper seriously, and read it out loud, "'Wa' can be everything, be careful of Wa!"
Shang Jingyan seemed to be thoughtful: Have I traveled to a world of rule-based horror stories?
She did not ask what "Wa" was, as it was obviously not a knowledge point that she could reach at the moment.
"I remember that." Shang Jingyan said, "Then do we have any way to fight back? Why did we travel through time, and can we travel back?"
She inexplicably felt that Shang Song's gaze had become a little complicated. She was silent for a few seconds before looking away and saying, "Yes, that's what I'm going to say next."
"There is only one way to fight back, which is to keep shooting horror films, which is what you are best at. You will slowly remember what you have forgotten, and you will slowly gain strength."
"When the time is right, you can go back."
Shang Jingyan was suspicious: "Is that all it will take?"
She didn't think it was a joke. After all, based on the deeply rooted ideas and cognition in her previous life, dream builder was a very great and important profession.
But... there are no dream builders in the world of Stellaris, right? Could this principle also apply to the same world?
Shang Song nodded: "This world also has spiritual power. In the past, the royal family only used spiritual power to appease the people, but in fact, Dream Building can also do it, and it is more effective."
Shang Jingyan frowned and thought for a while, then reluctantly accepted this statement.
Anyway, she would have done so even if Shang Song hadn't told her - You Yao was still waiting for her to talk about "The Evil God" in detail.
However, she will also investigate and practice on her own. After all, Ms. Shang Song herself said that "she may also undergo mutation."
When Shang Song saw her expression, he could roughly guess what she was thinking. He did not object, but said in his mind: Shang Jingyan’s underlying character is really similar to hers, with exactly the same rebellious spirit and stubbornness.
"By the way." Shang Song suddenly said, "If someone tells you that your spiritual power is so high that it is not what a human should have, don't believe them."
Shang Jingyan raised his eyebrows and said firmly: "I would not have believed such words since I was five years old. No one knows who I am better than myself."
Shang Song burst out laughing. The usually stern and taciturn man suddenly smiled, like snow melting on the ice.
Shang Jingyan was a little dazzled by her smile and held his breath for a moment, while Shang Song stared at Shang Jingyan's face.
Shang Jingyan's current appearance is actually unfamiliar to Shang Song.
Yes, she had indeed been "looking" at Shang Jingyan, but she couldn't see what Shang Jingyan looked like.
Over the past decade or so, Shang Song could see her health, her emotions, her mental fluctuations, and all her conceptual values...
But we can't see her face, and we can't see her most intuitive growth and changes as a person. That's why there's the sentence "She has grown so big".
Shang Song's impression of his daughter is still from her childhood, when she could gesture with both hands - she was so tiny.
But in the blink of an eye, she had grown taller than me. If I wanted to comb her hair, I had to put my feet on the ground and raise my hands very high.
Shang Song was thinking when Shang Jingyan suddenly held his shoulders and said, "Don't move. I'll comb your hair."
She was stunned for a moment, then did as she was told, but straightened her back.
"I remember you were like this when I was a kid. There were always a few strands of hair that couldn't be tied up."
Shang Jingyan bit the rubber band he usually wore on his wrist and said, "Sometimes my obsessive compulsive disorder strikes and it's really unpleasant to watch."
But she was just a child and couldn't do it herself. Even if she did, her hands were too small to hold so much hair.
Shang Jingyan pulled out Shang Song's pen, put it back into the pocket of Shang Song's white coat, let the silver hair fall down, and combed it patiently with his fingers.
Now, her palms are big enough to hold her mother's long hair.
Shang Song obviously neglected his body. His hair was tangled and split at the ends.
Shang Jingyan couldn't bear it anymore and looked around the room for a pair of scissors.
Shang Song silently turned his hand behind his back, and when he reached out again, he was holding a pair of scissors: "Here."
Shang Jingyan took it.
The strands of hair falling down the sides of her face felt so real.
Shang Song was a little distracted.
...What is it like to raise a child?
Shang Song must admit that her original intention of choosing to continue a descendant was not pure. She believed that she needed a successor to carry on her unfinished career. She imposed her will on an unborn child.
This wish did not change during her pregnancy, and Shang Song would not let herself be affected by hormones.
It was not until his daughter was born that Shang Song saw the tiny life in the cradle for the first time.
Shang Jingyan inherited her hair color, and the soft hair was so light that it was almost invisible.
When his daughter opened her eyes, Shang Song saw a pair of eyes like his own, but clearer, like two pools of water without any impurities.
She is a blank sheet of paper, and she will write the first line of her life.
Shang Song...suddenly regretted it.
She shouldn't have a child, it would be unfair and irresponsible.
Shang Song's powerful mental power after her self-transformation made her subconsciously pay attention to the brain worms all the time, and this attention would of course attract the brain worms to look back at her, as she had already registered with them.
Does she still have a chance? Try not to let Shang Jingyan get involved in the trouble.
In order to prevent the brain worm from paying attention to herself and her daughter, she needs to restrain her mental power.
But how could she do this? Their existence was too clear to her, and it was a pipe dream to ignore them.
The spirit relies on the body. If you can't control your own mental power, then just let the body go.
Drugs, alcohol, she needs to keep her mind in a dull state for a long time.
"How can you raise a child like this? Look at you, you're drunk all day long!"
Cui Yunting was angry at her performance at that time.
Shang Song could only mutter: "I know...I really know I did something wrong."
But after saying that, she could only continue like this, like an unrepentant scumbag. She felt pain, and then got even drunker, a numb cycle.
So, shouldn't she let go as soon as possible and let the society raise Shang Jingyan? This would be better for herself too.
But Shangsong always found various excuses for himself to avoid thinking about this possibility.
When Shang Jingyan was five years old, she got drunk again.
Shang Song got drunk very disgracefully that time and hit her head. When she woke up, the broken glass from the bottom of the wine bottle was two centimeters away from her eye.
At that moment, the string in Shang Song's mind suddenly broke completely.
What will happen to a drunk person? Her sober manners and her attention to her body have all become a mess, and her life has also become a mess.
Shang Song had a splitting headache, and she pushed all the bottles down the corridor under the influence of a hangover. She thought she must have looked very hideous at the time, and the wound on her forehead was dripping with blood.
...Then, this look was seen by Shang Jingyan.
When she turned around, madly and breathlessly, she saw Shang Jingyan standing at the entrance of the corridor. She didn't know how long he had been watching her.
It was as if a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe. Shang Song shivered and woke up completely.
Shang Jingyan was indeed a very precocious child. There was fear in her eyes, but also more complex emotions: sympathy, heartache, misunderstanding, sadness...
Shang Song saw her little daughter approach her, raised the towel disinfected with alcohol, and said, "Mom, why do you have to drink? I don't think you want to do this... Don't get drunk again, okay?"
You could hear a pin drop. At that moment, she suddenly lost all her strength, squatted down, hugged her daughter, and cried silently.
——Shang Song knew why he didn’t think about the possibility of “separation”.
Because she...can't bear to leave.
Being Shang Jingyan was not her fault, it was her luck.
However, no matter how reluctant she was, she had to make the decision as soon as possible.
Not long after that, Shang Song, who was rare for not getting drunk, took Shang Jingyan to the park.
Perhaps it was God's will. When passing by the crew of a dream builder, Shang Song suddenly had an idea to sense his daughter's mental power.
The result was not beyond her expectations. Shang Jingyan inherited her mental power after self-transformation, and might even be more powerful.
Shang Song knew that she could not stay here any longer.
She once thought that she would let the younger generation fulfill her unfinished ideals, and she would teach her throughout the process, and in the end she would probably live a dull and boring old age.
And from that moment on, she decided that she wanted to create more possibilities for Shang Jingyan's life.
Even if the price is going to the unknown and no longer having the concept of old age as a human being.
Shang Song came back to his senses from his long memories, and heard his daughter's voice: "Okay!"
Shang Jingyan tied Shang Song's hair into a standard bun and asked casually, "Why don't you just cut it all short? It will be easier to manage that way."
Shang Song said: "I was so confused before that I didn't have time to cut my hair."
Later... Now she has plenty of free time, but she chose to continue with the look she had when she was "Shang Song".
In fact, if she wanted, she could change her appearance with just a thought, just like the scissors.
Shang Jingyan turned around and looked at her masterpiece, very satisfied: "Ms. Shang Song, I am almost an adult, so I will reluctantly let you raise me for a few more days. Even if you can't go back in the future, I will take care of you in this world."
After coming out of the side hall that day, System 17X reappeared, but was unusually silent and did not reprimand Shang Jingyan.
Shang Jingyan was happy that there was no nagging in his ears. He quickly discussed the contract of "Evil God" with You Yao, and quickly put together a makeshift team to start filming.
Shang Song agreed to compose the music for her, but he also said something that Shang Jingyan didn't quite understand: "These songs should have originally belonged to your team. I can only return them to their original owners."
Shang Jingyan's competitor, the guy named Su Shudong, was stunned. He even came to the crew to mock her on the first day of work. As a result, he was so angry with her that he fled away. He even vowed to make a movie to compete with her.
What's even more outrageous is that another competitor, Hua Feitian, also thought this was a good idea and followed suit.
It is truly a spectacle that the three candidates for the throne choose to compete through movies, and the people can hardly keep up with the melon.
Real world.
The speed of time flow in the game and in reality is different. In the current reality, only one day has passed.
What Shang Jingyan didn't know was that while she was still immersed in her work, the public opinion of the alliance had exploded, and the cause was the "new discovery" in Lu Zibing's live broadcast room -
The final copy will jump in time and will not be written in full, so it should not be very long.
