All the things Yan Ronghua has encountered in his life have never been as weird as today. He turned around tremblingly and stared blankly at the Samsung 65-inch curved 4K TV he just bought last year. Only then did he realize that it was not 80 or 90 years old. With the antenna signal of the 1990s, how come there are still snowflake spots on the TV that cannot receive the signal
Thinking of this, Yan Ronghua was about to turn off the TV again, but at this moment, the screen flashed, and a figure whose whole body was dark and whose appearance was unclear appeared on the screen!
"Wow!"
Yan Ronghua couldn't help but let out a scream and flopped down on the sofa!
"Hello, Mr. Yan Ronghua, I believe you have seen the video being played now. Fortunately, you have become one of the chosen ones."
A cold, hoarse voice spoke unhurriedly.
"Before I explain everything to you, let me introduce myself first." On the TV, a man who seemed to be shrouded in black mist bowed slightly, looking like a gentleman, "My surname is Meng, and my name is a nightmare. You can call me Either Mr. Dream or Mr. Nightmare, of course, I prefer others to call me 'Freddy' or 'Jigsaw'."
"Fake it! Did you kidnap my daughter?" Only then did Yan Ronghua understand everything. He calmed down, showed complete anger, and threw himself in front of the TV.
Human beings are strange creatures. When you fall into the unknown, you may be frightened by anything you don't understand. But once the unknown is cracked, you will have the courage to face it even if you face danger.
"Your daughter is in a very safe place now, please rest assured." Yan Ronghua was just overwhelmed by anger, but what he didn't expect was that the person on the screen actually answered his question.
"Are you a kidnapper? What do you want? Money? State secrets? Do you know what you are doing!" Yan Ronghua was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted angrily. He must try to maintain his anger to eliminate the panic deep in his heart. .
"Maybe you haven't figured out the situation yet. Now is not the time to worry about your daughter. Please concentrate and listen to me. Every word I say next is related to the life and death of you and your daughter." The black figure ignored it. Yan Ronghua asked, but spoke coldly again, his voice hoarse, with a cold and stiff feeling like metal.
"I want to play a game with you." The other party said slowly.
"Human beings are selfish and narrow-minded, but because this society needs kindness and rules, everyone has a mask that hides their true appearance, which we call 'self'."
"The desires and desires in your heart are the real you. It is the most primitive part of your personality and the storage of biological impulses and desires. We call it your 'id'."
"When the id and the ego collide, a more sublimated thought will be produced. This kind of thought is what we call the 'superego'. The 'superego' may be conscience, or it may be its own unique moral judgment, but it is Because of the existence of the 'superego', you can distinguish what is good and what is evil."
"Mr. Yan Ronghua, your career is successful. You were admitted to Jingzhou University at the age of 19, a master's degree at the age of 23, a doctorate at the age of 26 and became a teaching assistant in the Department of Physics of Beijing University. You were promoted to associate professor at the age of 33 and joined the Chinese Academy of Sciences. At the age of 37, you were assigned Going to Haizhou Branch and being awarded the title of academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, your life for forty years is like a legend. Even in the foreign physics community, your name is unknown. "
"However, in contrast to your rising career, you are not happy with your family. Your wife couldn't stand your workaholic attitude towards life and left angrily with your children one year ago today. You tried every means to retain her. No, I had no choice but to follow them. But just as you were passing the intersection, a roaring truck shattered your perfect family... You could only watch, but there was nothing you could do."
The voice of the person on TV seemed to have an indescribable rhythm, and people couldn't help but follow his words. When he said this, Yan Ronghua's eyes couldn't help but flash through the tragedy of a year ago. , even he himself didn't notice that his eyes were filled with tears.
"But... this is just a stupid excuse for your ego to deceive yourself!"
Suddenly, the figure's voice suddenly changed, becoming even deeper and more sinister, like the most distant and shrill scream in the middle of the night. Yan Ronghua couldn't help but shudder!
"At that time, you were only 0.6 meters away from your wife and daughter, and the Dongfeng heavy truck was driving 20 meters away at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour. Logically speaking, you had 1.43 seconds to push away your wife and daughter. Daughter! Although the result is that you will replace their fate, you claim to be able to dedicate everything to them, but you do not do so!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Yan Ronghua showed a guilty conscience and retorted loudly. The other party's words were like a sharp sword, opening the wound that he had sealed for a whole year, allowing his bloody side to be exposed again. come out!
On that day, he did see the roaring car, and he did react. At that moment, he could have used his own life to save his wife and daughter, but the desire to survive in his heart made him hesitate. moment!
The result of hesitation was that the wife died on the spot, the daughter suffered a spinal fracture and was disabled for life...
For this reason, Yan Ronghua was ashamed and remorseful. He was afraid that others would look at him in a greedy and fearful way. He tried hard to show his regret in front of others that he wanted to save his wife and daughter but was too late. The result was very satisfying - his performance was successful. He deceived all the insiders, including his daughter, and only in the dead of night would he smoke alone and silently to relieve his inner guilt...
But at this time, a stranger whom he had never met before actually described the situation of that day indistinguishably. Yan Ronghua had only one thought, and that was to be frightened, ashamed and angry! He couldn't help but tremble all over, gasping for air, and his blood pressure skyrocketed!
"You always maintain a mask of caring for your daughter and family outside, but who knows that it was precisely because of your selfishness and cowardice that your wife died that night and your daughter was crippled for life!" said on TV The figure's voice was vicious, like a sharp sword that penetrated deep into Yan Ronghua's heart!
"That's enough, stop talking, please stop talking!" Finally, Yan Ronghua collapsed completely. He covered his ears tightly, shook his head, and knocked his head on the coffee table until blood dripped from his forehead!
At this moment, the voice on the TV became low again, "Survival is my own will. It was not your fault that you retreated at that moment. But if you had it to do over again, you would have continued to maintain your own desire to survive. Or sublimate in the collision between 'self' and 'id', use your life to replace the wife and daughter you swore to protect for the rest of your life, and let them live happily in this world?"
"Mr. Yan, you will be tested, your will will be tested!"
"The key to reversing the past is in your hands, and you will go back to that night a year ago. This is your only chance to redeem your soul - even if it is ugly and dirty, the first accident may have given you A fig leaf called 'accident', but when you have the chance to come back again, your choice will be completely revealed."
"Your choice is related to your own life, the life of your wife and the future of your daughter: Do you want to repeat the same mistakes and live in hypocritical regrets for the rest of your life? Or must you have the courage to seek inner happiness at the cost of your life? Redemption?"
Following the magical words of the figure on the screen, Yan Ronghua's expression became increasingly vacant. At this moment, the shadowed man suddenly snapped his fingers and whispered:
"The answer lies within you."
