prisoner of time

What would you do if one day you were the only one left in the whole world?

The energy will never be exhausted, the message sent will never receive a reply, and the whole world has lost contact, and only you are forever frozen in this moment.

Neighbors in the entire building won't answer door knocks, takeout orders are never picked up, and emergency hotlines don't work.There are no birds in nature, no fish in the sea, and even the annoying mosquitoes that are usually annoying have disappeared.The tree presents a still posture, and only when Yan Tuo shakes the trunk will the branches shake with his movements.

After Yan Tuo realized something was wrong, he walked uneasy and confused for a long time. He didn't see anyone along the way, and he didn't wait until dawn. , empty.

It became a ghost city with only him alone.

When he first discovered the truth, Yan Tuo was terrified, restless, and desperate.He ran in the city that never dawned, pried open the car on the street and galloped in the deserted empty city until he hit the electric pole beside the road, but found that he, the car and the electric pole were all unharmed...

He tried every means to get rid of this stillness that was more terrifying than death. He drove away from Mingyue City and went to the place where his parents lived, but in the end he found that it was all in vain——

The whole world is like this, TV programs have no signal, but recorded programs can be played; he posted on all well-known public platforms at home and abroad asking for help, but the displayed time is December 31st, and it will never be Someone replied; he could see all the messages or content of the "past", but he couldn't see a bit of the future.

He finally returned to the house left by his grandfather in Mingyue City. Everything began to be distorted from here, and he secretly felt that the opportunity for change should also be here.

The battery in his phone and game console will never run out.Yan Tuo sat on the bed and played games resignedly. When he was tired, he wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep. When he was thirsty and hungry, he went to a nearby convenience store to get some food and finished it in a hurry. Anyway, the food would not spoil.

He has long discovered that he is the only variable in this world, only he can move and change, and only he can bring changes to the static external world.In this way, he hoped to forget the helpless and hopeless reality.

I don't know how long such days have passed, until one time when he was half asleep and half awake, he felt something kissing and caressing his body, but he couldn't see the other party.

He felt terrified at first, and even broke out in a cold sweat, but soon felt great joy and comfort—even if the other party was a ghost or a ghost, even a ghost, it was better than being half-dead like him alone.

He asked the other party's name, but the other party paused for a moment, but did not answer, but still hugged him and made out with him.

Yan Tuo also tried to respond to the other party.

He even suspected that the other party did not exist at all, but a "person" imagined by himself.The fact that he has such a real fantasy is only because he has been driven crazy by this world where he is alone.

But even these interactions and intimacy are enough to bring tears to his eyes, and he is reluctant to leave even his imaginary partner.

He responds lingeringly to each other, making out with each other like the only remaining couple in the end of the world, for fear that the other party will suddenly disappear like waking up from a dream, and the other party's breathing makes him feel addicted...

Yan Tuo didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up again, there was a small note next to the bed with the word "Shi Yan" written on it.

Yan Tuo took the small note and looked left and right, but in the end he still couldn't believe the existence of the other party.

He rationally thinks that he must be crazy, and that "that person" is just his imaginary partner because he is too lonely.I may even have split into a second personality in my unconscious state. In order to make all this more realistic, that personality left this note and changed it to a different handwriting from my usual one.

Shi Yan, probably the name he gave to his imaginary partner.

Since then, his fantasy partner has always appeared from time to time.

At first, I just had a lot of fun with him, and gradually I would read books and watch dramas with him, play online games with him, and even feed him bread... Except that I can’t see and can’t speak, everything I do is real People are no different.

All kinds of signs made Yan Tuo more and more sure that the other party was just a fictional lover created by his insanity.Because if the other party is a legendary ghost, elf, or other living or non-creatures that have not yet existed in the world, then it shouldn't be the only one of this species, and the other party is not with his own kind, but it happens so coincidentally. Come keep yourself company.

Even if it is further assumed that the other party is the only special consciousness, then the other party does nothing but suddenly show up to have fun with me, and accompany me all day long to do all the things that a lover would do.

The other party is like a perfect lover born just for him, accompanying him, taking care of him, not talking, and only communicating with him with notes.Combined with his current weird situation, the most reasonable and reasonable explanation is that the other party is his fantasy lover.

After several times of probing the other party, he became more and more sure of this guess.

Yan Tuo enjoys the love and intimacy with each other, and is afraid that one day he will return to normal and face this lonely and endless world alone.

He felt that being "crazy" was a normal thing in such a situation, and it was just his self-protection. After all, in an abnormal world, it was too difficult and too cruel for him to live normally alone. one thing.

Yan Tuo has always maintained this idea of ​​being in love with the other party, and began to continue to search for a way to escape this world and return to normal rationally and systematically.

He stayed in the school library and used the school's network to check various materials.At the beginning, he looked up content related to psychology and spirit. Because there were examples of "fantasy lovers", and the world was so abnormal beyond imagination, he began to wonder if he was insane in reality, and Now he is in an abnormal world imagined by his abnormal self. In this case, he only needs to find a way to cure his real mental illness in reality.

But after extensive and in-depth study of relevant knowledge, he temporarily ruled out this possibility.

Time stands still forever at 31:23 on December 59. In theory, this should belong to the category of physics.

So Yan Tuo began to learn physics knowledge step by step from high school knowledge.He has spent a lot of energy in this area, and he even doubts that if he is in the real world, he may already have the level of winning the Nobel Prize.However, there are still too many unsolved mysteries that are difficult to verify in the field of time and space. In the end, he did not get rid of his predicament. Instead, he gained inner peace in the process of continuous in-depth study. Situation doesn't matter so much anymore.

Yan Tuo began to study all kinds of modern scientific knowledge extensively and systematically, and also dabbled in the mysticism and metaphysics in various civilizations. He even suspected that he was being punished like this because he was too lazy and procrastinated.

He started working harder than before he was trapped here.

He sees precious wealth and endless opportunities from the predicament-his time is stopped, which means he has endless time; he is the only one in the world, which means he has all the resources in the world; he has already tried After that, he won't die, so he can try to use various methods to experiment and explore without thinking too much about the risks.

As long as he keeps learning and exploring, he can always find a way to restore the normal world and let time flow.

During this time he lived a seemingly normal and stable life.

In a sense, it may be better than before—he used to be a single dog in the library holding a book and watching couples show off their affection. Take him home sooner or later.Shi Jin would also sit by the side and peel all kinds of fruits and feed them patiently and meticulously into his mouth, sometimes even holding Yan Tuo into his arms to feed him.

They are simply the most hated and hated couples on campus, but unfortunately no one can see them no matter how good they are now.Even Yan Tuo couldn't see the lover next to him, he could only feel his presence.

Yan Tuo has always believed that Shi Yan is his imaginary lover. While enjoying the care of the other party, he can't help but reflect secretly in his heart, saying, is it possible that deep down in my heart I have always longed for this kind of affection that I would sit on my lap in the library and feed snacks? way?Or do I sit on my lover's lap?Instead of me hugging my lover and letting him sit on my lap?

No wonder I know how to divide. Could it be that my heart is too uncivilized and disharmonious?These demands are inconsistent with my usual style of work.
