Chapter 507 Knife

However.

slowly.

 Xiaoxia changed his mind about thinking that the little girl was pretentious.

 Because when something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

 The little girl was intoxicated by the sunset, as if listening to the most beautiful symphony in the universe;

 She admired the moon and sang Debussy's "Moonlight" softly;

She wanted to see the moon disappearing in the clouds and casting light and shadow on the grassland in the middle of the night; even if the male protagonist said, "Look at the moon by yourself, I really have to go to bed, and I have to rush back tomorrow." Space Center, continue my unpoetic life." Abandoning her eyes in the wilderness, she just cried and couldn't see the sunrise on the grassland. She turned around and was excited to hear the first bird call of the day. "There are also birds in the rain."

This is very different from being pretentious.

Especially the part where the girl hummed Debussy's "Moonlight" completely changed Xiaoxia's view of the girl's pretentiousness.

because-

When she read this, she curiously searched for this music. Then, she saw a video of Li Yu playing Moonlight when he participated in a show when he was twelve years old. Although the picture quality was very blurry, the notes were as light and ethereal as the silver thread of moonlight flowing slowly.

immediately.

Xiaoxia is like the protagonist in the book. A weaker girl appears in front of her eyes, just like the young big devil in the video. She is in space, with the silver moon above and the blue earth below. The little girl appears in the middle Fly over and blend the music into the moonlight—

I like this kind of quiet music, and can even hum it softly. The little girl must not be a pretentious person, right?

on the contrary.

Xiaoxia felt more and more that the little girl’s attachment to these ordinary things was as if she wanted to—

died!

As soon as this idea came up, Xiaoxia immediately felt that it was natural.

 At first, the little girl gave each flower a name and remembered the names of the flowers. These behaviors were not out of the ordinary.

 She even felt a little more compassionate, wondering why the male protagonist was so numb that he didn't spend more time with her.

Huh.

 Xiaoxia knows it, and there is a knife behind it.

 It’s a pity that as an editor, she can’t run away.

 But fortunately, she is an editor and is knife-resistant!

The only question now is, what happened to this girl and she is about to die.

 The place where she was was hot as hell.

 A weightless environment, a space suit with a well-developed thermal insulation system, and a narrow control cabin.

Then-

 The book also says that the communication delay is very short and should be in low-Earth orbit, etc.

Xiaoxia scratched his head and couldn’t figure it out.

Now.

 She thinks this is science fiction romance + suspense.

 It’s not just her.

 The male protagonist in the book also wonders where the female protagonist is.

Then-

The male protagonist thought that besides space, there is another place where there is weightlessness.

 Xiaoxia doesn’t understand, where else is there?

 She hurriedly continued reading.

 Then Xiaoxia saw the line of words——

The only difference is that the Sunset spacecraft does not fly into space, but dives deep into the earth. 】

 “Squeak!”

Xiaoxia pushed his chair back, and stood up suddenly when he was caught off guard by the answer. Because besides standing up, she couldn't find any action or words to express her surprise, surprise and reversal when she saw the answer.

 Everything makes sense!

 What kind of insulated space suit? The delay communication is very short, so it all makes sense!

That girl is on Earth!

Xiao Xia couldn’t wait to read on, wanting to know what the fate of this girl would be in the end.

However-

 The article began to write about the "Sunset Project" in detail.

　　This section is really sci-fi and hard-core, describing the long voyage of a spaceship underground. However, although this paragraph about the scientific exploration of the center of the earth is vividly written and can be compared vividly with excellent popular science articles, Xiaoxia's heart slowly sank.

 Sure enough.

Her guess came true. The girl's Sunset 6 had an accident while conducting underground scientific research. One of the team members died and the other committed suicide, leaving her alone in the spacecraft.

 And this spaceship—

Its engine is broken, and the supplies on the ship can ensure the girl's life for decades, but the ship can never get out of the ground, and it is still sinking.

finally-

Xiaoxia's heart sank into the center of the earth along with the "Sunset 6" where the girl was. With the interruption of eye transmission, voice and data interruption, he fell into despair with the girl, "...the interior is completely missing, and the spacecraft has sunk to Six thousand eight hundred miles deep, that is the deepest part of the earth, and she is the first person to reach the center of the earth."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 lived!

 Xiaoxia heard the hope in her heart break.

That morning with no sunrise and drizzle was actually the last thing she saw on the ground.

Now.

 She is forever alone and sealed in the center of the earth, and will spend the rest of her life in that inner earth world of less than ten square meters.

 Hurrah!

 The shrimp opened its mouth wide and took a breath of air, as if it had just come out of the water and gasped for air.

 She didn’t know whether she was shocked or felt the same way.

She seemed to see the girl sealed in the center of the earth, with the high-density material in the center of the earth pressing toward her like a mountain.

That's not space.

 You can see the stars in space. Even if you are sailing among the stars forever and cannot return, fortunately there is a place far away.

 As for her in the center of the earth, she was trapped in a hopeless despair.

 Death is liberation.

However-

In her final farewell, the girl said: "...I have adapted to this place now and no longer feel narrow and enclosed. The whole world surrounds me. I can see the prairie above when I close my eyes, and I can clearly see every step. A little flower that I named—

goodbye. "

goodbye.

 She can no longer contact anyone and can no longer move.

 Xiaoxia silently turned to the last chapter.

　　 wherever the male protagonist goes, he will lie down on the ground there.

 One thought comforted him, "No matter where I go to the end of the world, I will never be far away from her."

 It’s over.

 That’s it.

There are only 8,000 words, and I finished reading it in less than an hour, but Xiaoxia’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time, as if he had experienced a vicissitudes of life.

 Without love or salvation, the girl just sank to the center of the earth.

 Xiao Xia knew that there was a knife and was prepared to be knifed. He felt that at most it would be a separation between life and death.

However.

As a science fiction editor, she still underestimated the weight of science fiction.

She never expected that after the science fiction romance of "Country Teacher", Jiang Yang would experience the despair of science fiction.

 Deep despair.

 The coldness of science fiction was like a knife, cutting open the little shrimp's brain and putting ice in it, making her unable to let go for a long time.

 That girl is full of nostalgia for the human world.

She named every flower, she felt joy and sorrow for every cloud, she watched every ray of sunshine dancing in the grass, and listened eagerly to every sound on the grassland. She watched the world all night, she I remember it was cloudy at 3:30 and raining around 5 o'clock -

She said: "It's like rushing out from the deep water to breathe air. I'm too afraid of being closed."

“Don’t worry, I will arrange my life here...”

 She never saw the sunrise on the grassland that she wanted to see again.

 She is so strong that it makes people feel sad.

 Xiao Xia felt sad and had a stomach ache. The knife was so severe that even those who were prepared were caught off guard. It was like facing a big truck. Even if you mustered up all your courage to face it, you were still hit to pieces.

　　It’s too sharp.

Jiang Yang, this grandson—

Xiao Xia sniffed and realized that she had read the rest of the article while standing.

 But this time she sat up to read and finished reading, which was different from before, because she had forgotten Uncle Kikube's pain.

Xiaoxia walked to the office window, opened the curtains, and let the sunlight slant into the office.

She looked at the street where the wind blew through the ginkgo leaves and left yellow butterflies flying under the trees.

This story about a desperate "astronaut" teaching a dull man how to feel about life is really——

Despair and romance.

 She turned around and forwarded the email to Mr. Chengzi: "Master, I have a good manuscript here, please take a look."

Mr. Chengzi is reading the two articles that Xiaoxia just sent.

 He responded casually, "Okay, I'll look at it later."

 Xiaoxia: “Okay.”

"Oh, right."

Xiaoxia also said casually: "This is Jiang Yang's contribution."

There is one more update. Let me check for typos.
