wake
Shang Jingyan was in a very strange state.
Her consciousness was hazy, and the sound of water gurgling in her ears. A light gray halo appeared in front of her eyes, and then the picture gradually became clear.
I fell into the lake and passed out... So is this a revolving door before death? Or was I rescued and am now dreaming?
Shang Jingyan climbed up with great effort and saw himself in the mud downstream of a river. It seemed that he had been washed all the way to the shore and stranded.
Looking back, there was endless fog; looking forward, there was a large black dead forest without leaves, and the trees were also shrouded in thick fog.
The sky was overcast, making the whole scene gothic and eerie.
It wasn't like a dream, because Shang Jingyan knew he was awake. It was a bit like being in a mental picture.
Shots of dead forests in movies often symbolize bad luck, and fog also represents the characters’ confusion.
"Where is this..."
Shang Jingyan was covered in wet mud. She walked out of the muddy riverbed with one step deep and one step shallow and entered the edge of the woods.
Some birds were startled by her and flew away into the thick fog.
Suddenly, she heard a noise coming from deep in the misty forest.
It was a woman's sigh.
"Why……"
Is there someone else in the "dream"? Shang Jingyan frowned slightly and walked into the forest.
I don't know how big this forest is, but at first glance, it's all silhouettes of dead trees that look exactly the same. They look like they've been struck by lightning or burned by fire, and are charred black, just like something out of a horror movie.
"come over……"
The female voice was soft and faint, with some overlapping echoes, which sounded more like a plot from a horror movie.
Shang Jingyan walked forward following the sighing sound. She always felt that the scene looked a little familiar. When she looked up, her heart moved and she remembered it.
——There are similar pictures in the diary of her mother, Shang Song.
At that time, Shangsong encountered difficulties in his research and was in a bad mood. He said, "It feels like being trapped in a foggy forest."
There is also a sketch next to it. If you make it concrete, it will be the scene before your eyes.
...Why do I dream about things related to Shangsong?
An indescribable emotion surged in Shang Jingyan's heart, as if she was affected by something. She began to feel inexplicably restless and anxious. She quickened her pace and ran towards the sound.
Rustle, rustle.
She ran faster and faster, the grass rustled, the shadows of the trees retreated on both sides of her, and the thick fog twisted like a whirlpool and a star swirl.
During this time, the vague voice kept sighing.
Finally, Shang Jingyan ran to the center of the misty forest, panting and his heart beating fast.
There was a pond in the middle of the forest, where many wild geese lived. Startled by Shang Jingyan's footsteps, they all flew up at once.
This kind of scene would most likely be accompanied by a black crow, but it happened to be a wild goose, so Shang Jingyan remembered it immediately.
After the geese flew away, Shang Jingyan hesitated for a few seconds and walked towards the pond.
There were some branches floating in the pond. The ripples on the water gradually subsided, revealing her figure, with silver hair and green eyes, and a face that looked a little tired and pale.
But the next second, she suddenly saw a gray shadow appear behind her!
Shang Jingyan was startled and immediately straightened up and looked back, but there was nothing behind her. At the same time, there was a "splash" sound in the pond, and she turned her head again, only to see a black notebook on the water surface, as if it had just been thrown in.
Shang Jingyan frowned, bent down to pick it up, and after opening it, he could vaguely make out two lines of blurred pen handwriting on the dripping title page:
The first line is: They are "brainworms".
The second line is: Don't be afraid, I will help you.
The next moment after Shang Jingyan saw these two lines of words clearly, it was as if a huge bell suddenly rang in her ears, and she fell out of her dream.
Starnet.
An unexpected incident occurred on the set of the Light Years Love Song, which was beyond everyone's expectations. The official statement was sincere, first apologizing to the audience and fans, and then saying that Director Shang accidentally fell into the water, but fortunately he was found in time, and after testing, he was found to be healthy, but he was suspected to have been frightened and was still in a coma, so all personal schedules were temporarily suspended.
During Director Shang's rest period, the live broadcast of the program was not affected for the time being, the previous scripts had not been used up, and the rest day was connected normally afterwards.
However, this news still caused an uproar on Starnet.
[Oh my god, I checked the temperature in the shooting area and it was below zero. Director Shang actually fell into the water. I feel so sad.]
[Accidentally fell into the water? ? How did it happen? How did the production crew protect themselves? ? ]
[Are you still in a coma? It's been more than two days! Are you really healthy? ]
[It's hard to comment, "seemed to be frightened", would Director Shang be frightened by anything else... and her mental strength is top of the universe, she wouldn't fall asleep, right? Is the production team hiding something from us? ]
[Yes, I also feel it's weird. Before Shang left, she said she was going to write inspiration, but right after that episode, she told us something went wrong. What happened during her absence? Damn, I even suspect she was attacked by anti-fans! ]
[After you said that, I suddenly remembered that before she left, Qingqing and the audience in the live broadcast room noticed that she was distracted for a moment and even knocked over the cup. Emmm... could it be related to this? ]
[Let me tell you a secret. Last night, my leaders held an emergency meeting. By the way, my unit is a confidential one. I can’t say more. I can only remind you that something big might happen in the near future.]
[? This is too exaggerated. What does a confidential unit meeting have to do with a dream builder falling into the water? (Shocked face)]
Shang Jingyan has been in a coma for two days, all kinds of conspiracy theories are flying around, and the deputy director of "Light Years" has no words to complain about.
Starnet netizens questioned their production team, but they actually didn’t know what happened!
But the assistant director was not too anxious, because firstly, Director Shang was indeed fine, and secondly, someone would take care of the matter and let them carry on as normal - this "someone" referred to official personnel.
The assistant director felt that the turn of events that took place in just two days was nothing short of magical.
Originally, when Director Shang fell into the water, they just thought it was bad luck and an accident happened during the show; but who would have thought that less than three hours after the incident, a graceful woman suddenly drove to the filming location, showed her alliance's confidentiality-level certificate, and said she would take over the subsequent matters.
Director Shang actually has an intersection with such a person? It's amazing!
Their behavior also caught the assistant director by surprise. She thought public opinion would be suppressed, but she did not expect that the other party seemed to deliberately indulge and guide netizens to make deeper speculations.
It's like... getting a vaccination against more terrible events that will happen in the future.
According to doctors and mental therapists, Director Shang will wake up tonight if nothing unexpected happens. The crew of "Light Years" prayed for Director Shang's safety while being extremely curious:
Why is this happening? It can’t be that the infinite world is invading reality!
In the purple mist, the planet's advanced hospital.
"……cough!"
Shang Jingyan suddenly sat up from the bed. Even in the warm ward, her back was covered with cold sweat.
[Yanyan!] X71 reacted instantly and then started to cry, [Wow, you scared me to death, you finally woke up! Great, Yanyan, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable?]
[Me? ...Ah, I'm fine.]
Shang Jingyan's mind was still in that "dream", and he couldn't come out of it. It took him a while for his breathing to calm down.
So that jellyfish monster is called a "brain worm"...
My clothes were dry, my lungs and nasal cavity felt normal, the temperature in the ward was pleasant, and there was no wet notebook at hand.
She stroked her hair and wanted to have a cigarette to calm down: [How long have I slept? ]
[Two days, so long!] X71 complained, and then began to tell her about the physical signs, and said, [It seems that the official staff are also paying attention to you, how strange. Is it related to your new work with a confidentiality clause?]
X71 was very smart. Shang Jingyan had no intention of deceiving it and gave a positive answer.
"Yanyan, are you awake?!"
Suddenly, Ao Qingxue's surprised voice came from not far away. It turned out that she had just left for a few minutes with dinner.
Shang Jingyan smelled the fragrance and his stomach growled in response: "..."
"You just woke up after being in a coma for two days. You need to eat something light. I'll ask the nurse to get it for you!" Ao Qingxue's cheeks flushed with excitement. She shouted a few times, and the others also heard the noise. Yun Yongxue poked his head out from the door: "Yanyan!"
Shang Jingyan saw his editor Mu Xiu and Professor Zu Lingwei at the door, and hurriedly wanted to stand up to greet them, but Zu Lingwei walked in quickly and pushed him back: "You are a child, you just recovered, don't always think about the ways of the world."
"Okay." Shang Jingyan nodded obediently and started eating.
"How did you fall into the lake?" Ao Qingxue didn't even care about her own meal, "I was so worried about you."
Shang Jingyan hadn't looked at her optical computer since she woke up - her computer had sunk into the lake - she didn't know what the outside world was like, or how much she knew about "brainworms", so she could only awkwardly change the subject: "How did you know I fell into the water?"
She remembered giving X71 permission, but didn't know how it operated.
"We received your message." Yun Yongxue answered first and showed her the laptop.
In the dialog box, she sent a message: [Falling into the water, emergency! ]
A vital signs chart is also included.
Yun Yongxue has good manners and is shy. He basically won't speak before others. His behavior proves that he is really worried about Shang Jingyan.
Ao Qingxue, whose speech was interrupted, did not add anything but just looked at her and blinked.
Shang Jingyan felt a little guilty. Ao Qingxue was more perceptive than Yun Yongxue, and should have noticed that she was trying to change the subject. She couldn't help but reflect for a few seconds. She had dealt with the brainworm without telling her teammates, and she was too careless when she encountered danger and made her teammates worry. At the end of the day, she didn't say anything. Wasn't she a little too "alone"?
In fact, her previous "provocations" were also somewhat inappropriate. From the information flow of the brain worm, it can be known that they have noticed her existence for a long time, but for some reason they have been hiding it.
This was definitely not something she could handle alone. Even before she "lost her memory", there were signs that she had cooperated with others.
After traveling through time, Shang Jingyan has always treated his two teammates as juniors, and has never given X71 the authority to intervene in reality.
Now that I think about it, if I had help at the time, maybe we could have been more calm and even captured the brain worm.
She thought about it without saying anything, and suddenly her fingertips felt slightly warm.
It was Ao Qingxue who held her fingers and gave her a quick smile, with eyes that meant: Although I don’t know what happened, it doesn’t matter, just relax.
Shang Jingyan was stunned, and his heart seemed to be touched gently, and the heat spread from his fingertips.
Zu Lingwei looked at the young man on the hospital bed. His long silver hair was a little messy, with a few tufts sticking up on top of his head, and his face was still pale.
Shang Jingyan has always been an image of strength, confidence and unquestionability. This is the first time that Zu Lingwei has seen her associated with "vulnerability".
She has just reached adulthood.
"You should have a good rest first."
Zu Lingwei did not allow any doubt, "No matter what it is, wait until you are fully recovered. We will handle the rest of the tedious matters."
Shang Jingyan guessed that the brainworm thing could be hidden from most of the audience, but it was impossible for people with S mental power to be unaware of it, such as Zu Lingwei and her teammates. But they all tacitly showed their "attitude of standing on her side".
It was difficult to express her gratitude, so she and Zu Lingwei exchanged a look that showed they understood each other.
The latter waited until she finished eating and then left with the two young men.
Shang Jingyan was the only one left in the ward. She lay back on the bed, sent a message to her fans using the account [Jingyan Everyone] to let them know she was safe, and then looked at the night sky outside the window and fell into deep thought.
The scene in her dream came to her mind. Even though it was blurred, she still recognized the handwriting on the black notebook. It was Shang Song's handwriting.
What is that mental space? Someone's mental landscape?
Did Shang Song tell her those two sentences? Is Shang Song still alive?
The memory information that Shang Jingyan obtained from the original owner was "Mom left". Shang Song was an alcoholic. Once after getting drunk, he fell into a winter river and died in a drunken dream, which is a very common way for alcoholics to die.
She also went to the police station and after a DNA comparison, confirmed that it was Shang Song's body.
But... does this "leaving" really mean death?
Or did she not know the whole truth originally?
Shang Jingyan felt it necessary to ask the Zhenwu Group and Sister Cui who knew Shang Song.
She slept for two days and was now very awake. She even felt like working. Being a dream builder was much more lovable than these bizarre plots in reality.
Shang Jingyan was complaining about his life of hard work while planning to use the hospital's screen to express a new optical computer to himself. When he opened the drawer, he found that Ao Qingxue and Yun Yongxue had already prepared it for him, and he was moved.
[Ah, how come they bought it too! I bought a better new model!] X71 emphasized, [I just picked it after comparing the parameters one by one after you woke up. This is my first gift to you, Yanyan!]
Shang Jingyan: [. ]
So the gift was bought with her own money, right?
I was wondering before whether opening up real-world permissions for X71 would cause any problems, but now I’m suddenly not worried anymore.
The message box was already full to the brim. Shang Jingyan skipped the unimportant ones and went to the supernatural forum. She saw that Luo Fu had sent her a message, and the time was just before she fell into the water.
Shang Jingyan: “…”
I'm so sorry to disappoint my partners.
However, according to X71's description, the person who came to the rescue was Luo Fu, who had talked to her in the cafe.
The message read: [After discussion, we decided to choose the doomsday disaster film "Pink Advent". The money has been paid, please Director Shang start preparing.]
The updates from now on will follow the rankings, about 15,000 to 20,000 words a week, if I don't update on that day I will leave a note_(:з」∠)_
