Jellyfish
The girl's voice was cold and contained an indomitable loneliness. The words "Infinite Heartbeat" appeared on the screen again with a heavy sound effect. Su Tong pressed her chest subconsciously. She had just been drawn in and had not come back to her senses until now.
After the screen went dark, the barrage of comments still filled the entire screen.
[The heroine is so handsome! The last sentence is so sweet that it makes my scalp numb! ]
[Why is it over now? I haven’t seen enough! ]
[Only one minute, damn it, @尚导 I order you to release the whole film right now! ]
Wei Wenbing looked away reluctantly and said, "Xiaotong, this TV series looks really good!"
The Su family is a cultural and tourism tycoon, but naturally, Su Tong is also involved in the dream builder industry.
Judging from a professional perspective, she immediately saw the amazing business opportunities contained in this trailer, and even for a moment she wondered why Shang Jingyan had not yet become famous throughout the galaxy.
This reduced her distrust of the haunted house. After a while, Su Tong whispered, "It's really good. I will catch up with him later."
Even though she has almost no entertainment life, she will watch the works of Dream Builder regularly, which is the habit of every interstellar person. But for her, this is more like a task, because she seems to be naturally not interested in those love stories.
But maybe "Infinite Heartbeat" will be different...
“When will it be aired? How often will it be updated?” she asked.
Wei Wenbing didn't expect his daughter to be really interested. He suppressed his desire to sell it enthusiastically and pretended to think: "Unfortunately, this information has not been announced yet. But I just saw a comment saying that her previous "Rouge Comb" was updated every Monday, and this one may be the same - speaking of this, should we watch "Rouge Comb" together again?..."
The next day.
After watching the trailer last night, Wei Wenbing re-watched the entire series of "Rouge Comb" with his daughter before going to bed due to exhaustion.
At 10 a.m., when they set out for the haunted house, Su Tong took the initiative to talk about the plot. This was quite rare for her. In the past, Su Tong would talk about work or daily trivia, and almost never about entertainment.
Historic progress!
Wei Wenbing's love for Shang Jingyan increased. As an elder, he certainly didn't want his child to be nervous all the time.
When they arrived at the haunted house, he asked his daughter for her opinion: "How about we choose the second haunted house map?"
The spin-off haunted Chinese house of "Rouge Comb" has opened, and the background story also takes place after the original plot.
Gao Xiaoyun is no longer a human being. He left his hometown to travel, and the old house became abandoned and no one ever entered it again.
As a result, wandering ghosts occupied the Gao mansion. Coupled with the resentment accumulated in the mansion for generations, supernatural events frequently occurred in the mansion. Neighbors even claimed that they could sometimes hear a woman crying in the middle of the night.
The tourists are outsiders who have mistakenly entered Gao's house and are unaware of the truth. They spend a night in Gao's house. The scenes they hear and see inside are real and unreal, and when they come out, it seems like a dream and it is difficult to distinguish them.
Su Tong nodded. She also wanted to play in the haunted house that she had just watched the original version of.
Wei Wenbing was full of anticipation and shared the good news with his fan group.
[Ah! The Chinese haunted house is already open, but I haven’t been there yet.]
[I went there yesterday, but I didn’t get in line QAQ]
[I envy Qiqi so much...]
——Wei Wenbing’s nickname in the group is [Seventy-year-old Man], but there is no generation gap between his interactions with group members. I’m afraid no one knows that his ID is just realistic information.
Even the group leader and his sister sent envious expressions, and Wei Wenbing proudly put his hands on his hips.
After queuing up, he filled in basic information such as his age, and entered the hospital with his daughter and several medical team members. After checking, the staff said, "Please wait a moment, sir. We have additional services."
"Extra services?" Su Tong asked back.
A young person walked out from the small room next door. She was tall and slender, with wavy silver hair. Even her ordinary work clothes looked particularly eye-catching on her.
"——This is a new service we have added in the past few days. Visitors over the age of 65 will be accompanied and cared for by a staff member."
The young person took over the conversation with a smile in her voice. Her eyes were curved and she wore a work cap on her head. When she took off the mask, Su Tong realized that this face was the one who came up with the idea of the haunted house, Shang Jingyan, whom she had seen in the information.
Su Tong paused for a moment before reacting. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Ms. Shang is here to do odd jobs in person?"
She was very low-key when she made the reservation and did not reveal her and her father's identities, but after all, she used the name of Su's Cultural Tourism, so she was prepared to be sought out by people who came to her because of her reputation.
The dream builder's approach was quite pleasing and did not disgust her.
——In fact, Su Tong admires people who can seize opportunities because she herself is such a person.
Shang Jingyan nodded solemnly: "This is an important guest, it is worth my accompanying him."
She flew to the Rose Heart as soon as she saw the appointment application from the Su Group, thought about it, and chose this way of appearance.
The additional services are not nonsense. Shang Jingyan discussed with Xue Jiang not long ago and believed that it is necessary to provide an additional layer of protection for older guests.
The group was ready to enter, but at this moment, an accident happened.
Wei Wenbing suddenly showed a look of pain on his face and pressed his forehead. Su Tong's face changed slightly and he immediately said, "Healer!"
Without her saying anything, the medical team came forward.
This is a syringomyelia attack!
Shang Jingyan saw that although Su Tong looked nervous, she was not surprised at all, which showed that this was not the first time this situation happened.
It was the first time she saw a patient with moderate to severe syringomyelia suffering from an attack. She saw the wheelchair under Wei Wenbing deformed and extended into a stretcher, and the man's eyes slowly drooped and he fell into a coma.
There are two types of synovial syndrome. One is sudden excitement, in which the person loses control of his mind and becomes crazy. The other is sudden silence, in which the person falls into a coma without any warning. Unless the person wakes up on his own, he cannot be awakened by the outside world. This is generally regarded as a strong reaction caused by the body's inability to withstand long-term fatigue.
At this moment, Wei Wenbing's situation is the latter.
"...I'm sorry, Miss Shang." Su Tong pressed her brows, "My father...I'm afraid he can't tour today."
There was obvious disappointment in her tone, because it was rare for her father to be interested in something, but he couldn't experience it at this moment.
Su Tong quickly recovered her spirits. Seeing the staff not far away trying to come over nervously, she said, "Miss Shang, don't worry. This has nothing to do with you... In fact, after watching your work last night, my father had a rare good sleep."
Shang Jingyan's eyes flickered when he heard this. He hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Ms. Su, I may have another way to alleviate your father's condition."
"If you are willing to trust me, let me give it a try?"
dark.
Endless darkness.
Wei Wenbing stood at the edge of his mental picture, and could only see darkness. He had experienced such dead silence countless times. His perception was hidden, and all his emotions were swallowed up, as if he had fallen into an abyss.
But every time he woke up, he would forget what happened after he fell into a coma due to syringomyelia, and would only remember it when the disease recurred.
In real life, when patients communicate with each other, everyone agrees with him and believes that there is no consciousness after falling into a coma.
However, it is not the case at all. In fact, he will become the core spirit body and be trapped in his own mental picture. It seems that the endless waiting is far more unbearable than nothingness, and even makes people want to die.
Moreover, as his illness worsened, he witnessed how his mental picture deteriorated and became more confused.
It will be the same this time. Wei Wenbing sighed in his heart, wondering how long it would take for him to wake up this time.
But after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly saw a tiny light in the darkness.
Huh...? Light?
Wei Wenbing was stunned.
——That ball of light was Shang Jingyan.
After obtaining Su Tong's consent, she came to Wei Wenbing's spiritual world just like she entered Tian Jiangli's consciousness last time.
This was the most desolate and dilapidated spiritual scene Shang Jingyan had ever seen - although she had only seen a few spiritual scenes since she traveled through time.
She was floating in darkness, with chaos all around her, except for a little bit of dark brown ground beneath her feet. It was like a glacier about to melt due to global warming, or an oasis about to disappear in a desert, and was almost sinking.
There were still a few blades of grass on the ground, most of them were withered and black, with only the tips still showing a hint of green. It was not difficult to tell that Wei Wenbing's mental picture was once a grassland.
Shang Jingyan floated forward along the broken ground. She was a ball of light here, illuminating a small area, as if she was standing in opposition to the darkness and tearing off a piece of it.
A thought suddenly occurred to her: a person's mental picture symbolizes where her soul is, so what do the darkness outside the mental picture symbolize?
Is it just nothingness?
Is it possible that by moving forward in the darkness, one can encounter the spiritual image of another person?
These two questions are as philosophical as "what is the farthest thing in the distance?"
After Shang Jingyan came back from Tian Jiangli's treatment center last time, he looked up a lot of information and found that his situation was very special.
Others cannot enter other people's spiritual world directly like she does. Psychotherapists need to use instruments when treating patients.
She only had a vague idea of the healing process, that she was soothing the other person's spirit, instead of being able to see the concrete black fog like she could.
In a moment, she came to the center of Wei Wenbing's painting. There stood a skinny little sheep, looking up at her, with a withered flower on the ground beside it.
When Wei Wenbing's core spirit body ran outside, nothing was noticeable, but looking from here, the little lamb had many cracks on its body, like a rag doll with cotton wool exposed, and black mist was lingering on the cracks.
——The black fog seems to be part of the darkness.
The lamb's eyes widened and it bleated a few times, as if it wanted to say something to her, but Shang Jingyan didn't understand animal language.
She recalled the process from last time and hesitated a little: "...Is it okay if I show you a horror movie?"
Wei Wenbing's spirit body looked much weaker than Tian Jiangli's unicorn.
But she couldn't care less, as she only knew this one treatment method, so "Sea of Mobius" was released.
"Mr. Wei said he had seen my work, which means he should be able to handle it..."
Shang Jingyan muttered to himself.
Last time, there was only a little bit of black fog in Tian Jiangli's mental picture, but this time it was completely the opposite, there was only a little bit of mental picture in the darkness.
In order to speed up the process, Shang Jingyan simply released all her works at the same time, even including the most popular films in her previous life. They all existed in her mind, and she only needed to mobilize her memory.
The black mist on the lamb seemed to be shocked. It paused for a few seconds and then began to fluctuate wildly.
"Don't run away, let me eat." Shang Jingyan spread out her ball of light to absorb the darkness. Just like last time, she soon felt the warm feeling of eating.
The black mist was absorbed by her like sesame filling, and the lamb's fur became much clearer. In front of it were several films that Shang Jingyan had filmed in his previous life. He turned his head left and right, but seemed unable to see them all.
The core spiritual body didn’t see it, but the darkness was fluctuating... Could it be that they could see it too?
Shang Jingyan thought magically.
The black fog in this area was quickly cleared away. Shang Jingyan was almost full and felt that he had reached the limit of a single treatment.
The lamb became completely clear, and the last wisp of black mist on its body could be seen connecting to somewhere above its head, like a black umbilical cord or tentacle.
Shang Jingyan was not very satisfied, so he separated a bit of the light and pulled it hard.
It was broken and she "ate" it, but at the same time, she had also touched the darkness.
Shang Jingyan looked in the direction of the thread, but suddenly stopped.
If she was not a ball of light but a human form, her eyes would have widened slightly and her pupils would have suddenly shrank!
I saw that the empty darkness was like a veil that was slowly peeled back several layers and became lighter; overall, it was like a corner of a black cloth covering a painting was torn open, revealing the true appearance of the picture underneath.
——There is a "thing" in the darkness.
How to describe it?
Shang Jingyan couldn't see its full picture, only the tip of an iceberg. It looked like a giant jellyfish, with countless floating tentacles under its umbrella-like structure, and the darkness was the ocean where it was.
Its surface is pure white and slightly transparent, emitting and refracting colorful light, reminding people of soft gems, like a magnificent creature that can only appear in fantasy dreams.
To be fair, the strange creature was extremely beautiful, but when Shang Jingyan saw it here, he felt his scalp tingling and his heart beating rapidly.
She stood there, motionless.
There has never been any mention in any literature that there are other creatures in the human spiritual landscape!
Is that thing a living thing? What is it? Why is it here?
The jellyfish-like creature swam away, and the light was blocked again. The darkness returned to calm.
But in Shang Jingyan's eyes at this moment, darkness was no longer nothingness, but a deep sea without light.
Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. There must be other creatures like this in places where light can’t reach!
For a moment, Shang Jingyan seemed to understand how the interstellar people felt when they first saw her horror movie. It was a thrilling feeling of having common sense broken and cognition subverted.
She waited for a long time, but couldn't help being curious, so she went forward to take a look at the dark place.
——The creature left behind a small tentacle, as if it had just been torn off by her.
Shang Jingyan got closer to observe carefully. This tentacle was about the length of her palm and looked very soft, but there were many small hook-shaped thorns on the surface. When it was illuminated by her light, it instantly turned into "colorful white".
The tentacle is hollow in the middle, and there is liquid flowing slowly inside.
Shang Jingyan peeked through the tube and saw that the liquid was like a kaleidoscope, reflecting many images:
Wei Wenbing's heartbeat when he first met his older lover, the laughter and playfulness when he first traveled with his lover, the surprise and astonishment when he first learned his lover's true identity, the sadness and grief when he first had an argument with his lover...
It's not just about love, there's also the family part related to my daughter, but overall, they are all relatively positive emotions, with very little sadness and almost no negative emotions such as fear.
Just looking at it like this makes the onlookers feel as if they are floating and dizzy, with their hearts filled with happiness.
Why does this tentacle contain all of Wei Wenbing's emotions?
It’s all joyful and beautiful…
Shang Jingyan looked away and a bold idea came to her mind: Could it be that the creature was also "eating" like her?
Reality.
Shang Jingyan, who was sitting on the chair, fluttered her eyelashes and opened her eyes.
X71 was unable to enter Shang Jingyan's mental picture and could not see her situation. When he saw her wake up, he immediately asked: [Yanyan, how are you?]
[Hmm...] Shang Jingyan was a little suspicious of everything now. He thought about it and swallowed it again. He didn't mention anything he had just seen. [The treatment went well.]
"Dad?" Su Tong immediately leaned forward and closely observed her father lying in the instrument.
——Although she borrowed the instrument, it was just a disguise for Shang Jingyan to convince her. In fact, Shang Jingyan didn't need any instrument to enter other people's spiritual realm.
Wei Wenbing slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "It's incredible. I haven't slept so well in a long time..."
Su Tong was stunned, and then, excitement gradually spread from her eyes. She held her father's arm and helped him sit up: "Great!"
Wei Wenbing's lamb jumped out of the void, yawned, and wagged its tail, and it looked obviously in much better spirits.
It blinked its eyes, and its fur stood on end a little bit in fear when it saw Shang Jingyan for the first time - it was remembering the horror movie it had watched, but then it timidly moved closer, pressed its hand against the back of Shang Jingyan's hand, and gently licked her fingers, looking very flattering.
Shang Jingyan: “…”
Why does this sheep look a bit like a dog?
"I seem to have had a dream, but I don't remember it." Wei Wenbing recalled hesitantly, "It seemed that there was darkness, light and shadow... and horror?"
He shook his head. "Never mind. It's not important."
Shang Jingyan thought, just like Tian Jiangli's feedback, it seems that patients really don't remember what happened during the treatment. She observed the lamb, and it obviously had memory.
Essentially, a person's core spiritual body is the person himself. Could it be that once the spiritual image is removed, this memory will be stored separately?
Su Tong talked to her father for a while and confirmed that he felt fine, as if he had just taken a long nap, and she was completely relieved.
She closed the door of the ward and said, "This time it's really thanks to you, Director Shang."
Su Tong's eyes were full of gratitude, and she changed her address to "Director Shang".
For someone like her, this state is already a very revealing expression of emotion.
Shang Jingyan smiled and said, "Mr. Su, you don't have to thank me. I feel a little tired now and need to rest for a while."
Being tired was just an excuse. She just needed to be alone for a while to digest what had just happened.
Su Tong immediately said: "Then I won't bother you anymore, Director Shang."
Before leaving, Shang Jingyan added two of her accounts, one for personal use and one for work. If the former was a way of expressing intimacy and continuing to contact her for treatment, the latter was a clear hint: from now on, Su would also help Shang Jingyan with her work.
Does this count as a successful completion of the mission assigned by the Zhenwu Group?
Shang Jingyan thought with a hint of irony.
In the following period of time, Shang Jingyan gave Wei Wenbing two more treatments, clearing up that area of his mental picture, and blue sky and white clouds finally appeared above the earth.
Wei Wenbing's mental state was getting better and better, even Su Tong's personal medical team was shocked. They said that Shang Jingyan could consider working in a big hospital. She had to humbly say no.
Shang Jingyan: I have never even taken a medical exam, and I feel like I am practicing medicine without a license.
It’s a pity that Wei Wenbing missed the reservation time for the haunted house he had been dreaming about, and the next reservation was scheduled for late June.
Xue Jiang is also a person who is good at seizing opportunities. She negotiated the cooperation on the haunted house on behalf of Shang Jingyan and Su Tong. If all goes well, Shang Jingyan's IP derivatives can really be opened to the main galaxy.
During this period, "Infinite Heartbeat" released another trailer, which was only thirty seconds long and was a mix of the three protagonists.
In the film, the main character Lan Qing's clothes are the most modern, a black jacket. In a few scenes, she wears a light blue square electronic lens on her left eye. The weapons she uses are mainly small and exquisite pistols.
A female supporting character was wearing a Chinese retro round-neck robe with a golden dragon pattern on a black background, wrist guards on her forearms, a hair crown on her head, and a cold expression. In contrast, she had a very high-tech hand cannon on her back, which she could kill a monster with a single move.
The other female supporting role was wearing a white coat, round glasses, and carrying a metal box, and seemed to be in charge of technical work. She was a little plump and obviously not good at running, and she was responsible for the funny scenes of shouting and screaming in the mixed cut.
The names of the other two protagonists have not been announced yet, so the audience can only refer to them as "general" and "researcher". Currently, the discussion about Exile Galaxy has exploded.
[It seems that Director Shang’s new work also has a lot of adventure elements? ]
[The general is so handsome, I declare that her shot has touched my heart!! I have fallen in love. ]
[The researcher looks so handsome while typing on the keyboard after rolling around. I’m so moved…]
[Aren’t you going to take the heroine away? Xiaolan Qing belongs to me (dog head), don’t fight with me for her! ]
[Boldly guess, are these three people from the past, present, and future? It feels very interesting. Students, generals, and researchers, the protagonists of three eras form an adventure team! ]
[Just watching them kill those monsters scares me QAQ but I really want to watch it...]
Compared with the previous time, Shang Jingyan's publicity this time was obviously much more massive, and he looked like a popular dream builder.
Before the main film started serialization, the character information of the three heroines was gradually released in the form of intelligence, and some fans even started to ship them as a couple.
There are also very few works on interstellar adventure themes, and the protagonists will most likely encounter love on the way of adventure.
So far, no character suspected to be the male lead has appeared in any of the promotional materials, and Shang Jingyan’s audience was not actually too surprised.
Although there are heavy love elements in the three works "Evil Spirit", "Rouge Comb" and "Mobius", the audience is prepared that Director Shang will cut it down one day.
Stubborn StarCraft audience: So what if there is no male protagonist? It is not impossible for the protagonists to digest it internally!
In addition, Chang Qingqing also developed peripheral products for Shang Jingyan's previous works. Among the series of exquisite and beautiful dolls on the virtual shelves, the style of the works is particularly unique and distinctive.
Customers passing by: “…”
Who would buy this? What kind of movie is this from? It will give you nightmares!
The black octopus ball pillow is fine, it can barely be considered cute in the Q version; the same comb as the one in the movie is also fine, it can be used as a retro handicraft and can be used to comb your hair.
But what about that rag doll with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes?
It was in tatters, and it looked like its head would fall off in the next second. It was also missing an eye.
What is that fish bone made of resin?
They even specially made half-rotten fish meat with its eyes bulging out, which would look natural in the corner of the seafood market.
There is also a black castle DIY music box that can play scary music, a flower pot with a white skull, and a computer protective cover that imitates the last year's calendar school workbook...
In a nutshell, it looks weird and doesn't look good.
The following comments also made passers-by very curious:
[Fuck, I am dying of laughter. The official blog actually made the top two vote winners, the little beautiful doll and the fish bone.]
[Although the doll is a little scary, I believe it can protect me (dog head), so I put it next to my brother's bed after I bought it.]
[Buy a small fish and tie it to the side of the pond with your hair in the morning; buy another one the next day and tie it again... Repeat this cycle to achieve the effect of traveling through time and space (dog head).]
Customers passing by suspected that these peripherals would not sell at all, but the first batch of 30,000 were sold out within one minute of going online.
Passing customer: “???”
Is it because I can't keep up with the current trend?
One month later, Blue River Moon.
"Yes, put it here... and move it a little bit to the left." Shang Jingyan directed the moving robots. The furniture in the brand new living room was scattered around and was being lifted and moved by the robots.
Shang Jingyan finally decided to buy a property in Lanheyue. Through the introduction of Sister Cui, it was very close to the villa area where Pei Yi's family lived. It was also a three-story villa.
She folded her arms and watched all this, and she felt better. Buying a house seemed to represent that she had officially and completely settled down in this world.
"I thought you were going to rent a house, but you bought one." You Yao said in the communication, showing a distressed expression, "Now we are not living on the same planet, how can I receive and send missions? Should I buy a house in Lanheyue as well? I can't afford a villa, maybe a flat..."
Shang Jingyan ended with one sentence: "It's up to you."
It was the evening of the Blue River Moon, and two moons were already hanging in the sky. She sat down on the newly placed sofa and turned on the projection screen on her computer.
Today is also Friday night of the Alliance calendar. Bullet comments have appeared on the dark screen. Amidst the long-awaited calls, "Infinite Heartbeat" has started airing -
