Sunday, another Sunday.

Lu Zhengkang has been going to various safe houses in Zhenjiang District in recent evenings, neither lodging nor going to Dabieshan. The exchange of consciousness between him and Su Xiangli has not happened for a long time.

It seems that this strange phenomenon has disappeared, and Lu Zhengkang can't say why. He just thinks that he doesn't want to exchange his body with Su Xiangli. As a result, he really doesn't exchange his body, which makes him feel a little relieved.

In fact, as early as when he was an internal examiner, he could feel the mechanism of consciousness exchange, especially after he put down his obsession with hue.

He can control this unnatural phenomenon a little. It can't be said that it's control. Lu Zhengkang has long guessed that this kind of change was brought about by his "Chinese parents" system. Although the system has been silent, it will still listen to his wishes.

Lu Zhengkang wanted to know more about Su Xiangli, so they would swap bodies. This kind of praying behavior has been systematically responded many times, including that he prays for knowledge, and the system gives him knowledge.

In essence, the system is a wishing machine. More or less, it represents the desire of human beings to get something for nothing, which is a kind of concrete, inner greed and dissatisfaction rebound. Lu Zhengkang does not deny that he is very dependent on the system. If there is no system, his life is a backwater, he is just a crowd, forced to meet the tide of the times, just as he was selected to participate in the third world.

If he doesn't have a system, all this has nothing to do with him. He doesn't have excellent grades and excellent physique. He can't be financially independent when he was young, and he can't let Su Xiangli, an excellent girl, be infatuated with him. China is likely to lose the game and be assimilated by Zhimeng. At the same time, he has to face the pressure of the college entrance examination and the disharmony of family relations

Lu Zhengkang really got a lot from the system of talent, including self-confidence, love for life, and faith in love. These treasures that had been worn away in previous lives returned to his hands. Even without the system, he had the qualification to laugh at life. However, he was still very grateful for the system. To admit the system was equivalent to admitting his own incompetence, Can he be a waste without a system? That's not true, but it's certainly not as comfortable as it is now.

It's a common saying that the greater the ability is, the greater the responsibility is. Lu Zhengkang agrees that this society can only be established by helping others. Including the epidemic situation in the 1920s, in the midst of tribulations, some people made waves and others rushed for help. What they reflected was not the so-called group consciousness based on the characteristics of the times, such as the national character, but a very real social structure. Some people stayed in their own position by unscrupulous means, while others were willing to contribute their own interests to serve the public.

In the suffering, the class consciousness, collective culture and minority circle which are mixed together in ordinary times are broken, the media of subjective communication is weakened, and the masses are isolated in their own places in the form of individuals.

The most important thing is that in the special period, hedonism and consumerism have been suppressed, and people have been forced out of the surreal space created by the rapid economic development, the overwhelming advertising and the accumulation of commodity cultural symbols. It's like waking up from a flashy modern dream. Only when we can see clearly the disadvantages of the society and dare to admit its existence, can we realize it To correct. This is the only way to prosper the country.

However, in the post-modern society at the end of the century, the symbolic commodity elements have penetrated into every corner of the world, and hedonism and consumerism have become the dominant ideas. I'm afraid it's hard for people to break free from the shackles of surreal space. The rise of smart alliance will not alert the public, on the contrary, it will let them devote themselves to it without hesitation.

The reason is also very simple. On the one hand, the grand narrative is ignored by the people at the bottom in the post-modern society. People no longer pursue the progress of practical significance, because it is very difficult for them to achieve this. The gap between people is too big in this era. How many generations of accumulation can breed an elite? The cost of progress is so high that people can't even think about it. Only people like Lu Zhengkang who have the "Chinese parents" system, or who are beyond the age of genius, can they have the ability to say that they can revitalize the family by themselves, and the clan concept has been greatly weakened in modern times.

After the disappearance of grand narrative, people begin to seek value from fantasy and virtual world to fill their personal life, which leads to another reason: virtual world, as a surreal space to escape from reality, has already appeared in all aspects of society.

Such as Disneyland, such as anime and e-singer, the false settings created by human beings, through the operation of capital or collective behavior, transcend the false, invade the reality, and become a real existence of concept.

People will buy bags and watches that lack practical significance for advertising, go to amusement parks to interact with cartoon characters played by employees, and enthusiastically collect shoes, limited number cards and computer equipment. In essence, they are hoarding symbols. Their collection of these things has no meaning in itself, but their collection behavior creates meaning.

Is it very difficult for primitive people to understand the phenomenon brought about by social development? But modern people have grown up in this environment. From their cultural works, they have seen a lot of settings similar to human being being being confined by intelligent instruments, human being being being mechanically transformed, and human being becoming conscious existence. They will not feel strange and afraid of this.For them, which do they choose between the disappointments of reality and the blissful conditions that may exist in the virtual world? At a glance, right?

Because of this, the truth must be concealed. This kind of long-term right-wing institutional orientation in China is to maintain stability.

At this time, the war that decided the fate of mankind was put in the dark.

Lu Zhengkang, and even all the senior officials of the state, are invisible "guardians" of the times. They are the people who have to fight with determination.

Big brother's call may come at any time, and Lu Zhengkang has begun to explore the truth on his own.

In fact, Lu Zhengkang does not have this kind of consciousness. In this era, it is no longer a single hero society. In other words, this kind of personal heroic experience has not been the mainstream in the long history of China. In China, there is no Odyssey style legend, some are just winners and losers, and individual behavior is summarized in the collective ideology The only sustenance of the individual's rebellious spirit turns into a knight errant, which occupies a tiny chapter like the biography of assassins by Tai Shigong.

Lu Zhengkang, as he realized, is just a sesame in a thousand layer cake.

And he never thought about using his ability to gain any status and power. It's not easy for people to live in this world. If they want to live well, it's more difficult. If they want to live freely and happily, they have to lose something. He is a man with no political inclination. Rather than anarchism, he just opposes ideology and alienates from mainstream values.

Lu Zhengkang is very satisfied with his life.

This reason alone is enough for him to work hard. People are not willing to change. If they struggle for not changing, it is also a strong endogenous behavior orientation.

Yesterday Saturday, Su Xiangli sent him an email saying that he missed him. Lu Zhengkang came out of the safe house and headed for his girlfriend's rental house.

When the doorbell rang, Su Xiangli opened the door and gave him a silly smile. Lu Zhengkang asked, "what's so happy?"

"It's nothing. I feel like I'm getting better recently." Su Xiangli copes with it casually, but her eyes are always on Lu Zhengkang's cheek. In fact, she just hasn't seen him for a long time, and some of them are addicted to love.

"What's the matter?"

"Well, Lu Zhengkang, have you found that we haven't exchanged bodies for a long time?"

"Four weeks, more than a month. What's the matter?"

Su Xiangli stretched out his little hand and pleaded, "then you should hand in your privacy diary." She looked like a little squirrel. Lu Zhengkang had a warm smile in his heart.

"I'm not sure if this kind of thing will happen, just wait." So said Lu Zhengkang.

"Oh." Su Xiangli is a little bit depressed. Her performance today is very childish. Lu Zhengkang can't help but think of her childhood appearance. At that time, she was also very lovely.

Lu Zhengkang still remembers every bit of his life. Thanks to the transformation of the system, he has a good memory. A man like him, who lives a happy life, is not bound by the virtual world, so he tries his best to maintain the ideology of the real world. From his personal point of view, his efforts are actually selfish.

Lu Zhengkang fell into melancholy. Su Xiangli saw that his eyes were lax. This guy, half of his face was bathed in the light through the window screen in the early morning. In a thin layer of Li shadow, his slightly closed eyelashes cast a deeper shade, covering the stars in his eyes, like a sparkling pond on a moonlit night.

The melancholy Lu Zhengkang is rare. The main theme of childhood in his youth is happiness, which is light. He enjoys the greatest rights and has no obligations and responsibilities. Today, the potential pressure of life has made Lu Zhengkang, who is always in a good mood, unconsciously show his fatigue. Su Xiangli originally thought that life would return to its usual comfortable appearance after finishing the third world. Now she finds that it can't be. Some things will bring indelible pain after knowing.

Lu Zhengkang is carrying something. Su Xiangli is silent. She wants to escape. As a 16-year-old, she still has a fluke to the world. As long as she doesn't pay attention to it, misfortune will not come to her.

However, after su Xiangli knew Lu Zhengkang's problems, how could he let go?

"Lu Zhengkang, you are hiding something from me." What she said was a statement, no doubt.

Lu Zhengkang seemed to wake up with a start, and he laughed, "what do you think?" He pulled Su Xiangli into his arms and rubbed her forehead with his chin.

Su Xiangli deeply absorbed his smell, lost his strength and attached himself to him. He said, "deer, you can tell me anything. We are just like a person. Why should we keep it from me? Even if you want to do something bad, I will accompany you to the end. "

"How can I be willing to..." Lu Zhengkang is soft hearted.

Su Xiangli burst into a rage, "you really have something to hide from me!"

It's a trick!

Lu Zhengkang's melancholy and affectionate face collapsed immediately. He was sweating, "no! How can it be? Hahaha, I'm just going to follow you when I see that you are very involved in the play. "Su Xiangli's mouth shrunk, showing a gesture of weeping. Her eyes hit Lu Zhengkang's nose like a heavy hammer. When he was dark, he was immediately flustered. From childhood to adulthood, he rarely saw Su Xiangli cry. No matter how hard she felt, she just bowed her head and stayed quiet for a while. The only time she saw her tears was on the eve of taking part in the internal test. At that time, she was very scared, but anyway, she was very sad Both of them are very sunny and strong girls, and after experiencing the "Three Worlds" event, she has become very cheerful and will never easily show a weak posture.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Lu Zhengkang trembled incoherently.

Su Xiangli continued to play poor. At the beginning, she just pretended to be aggrieved, but she couldn't help thinking: what if Lu Zhengkang really had an accident?

She imagined that one day, when she opened the door, Lu Zhengkang lay bloody on the ground. He died before he could even say a word to her, and then she had to attend Lu Zhengkang's funeral. She was a puppy love who had not been through the door, had no formal relationship, and had not been recognized by both parents. What should she do? She can only stand in front of his grave as a classmate, even without a grave. His ashes are scattered in the sea, and Su Xiangli has no place to mourn. Will Lu Zhengkang's family know that in addition to them, there is another person who will always remember Lu Zhengkang?

The more she thought about it, the more sad she was. She asked, "Lu Zhengkang, you answer me honestly. Is there any danger?"

Lu Zhengkang wants to tell a lie, but he stops talking again in her eyes. If he doesn't speak, he will default.

"How dare you Su Xiang is cold from her heart. She doesn't look pitiful any more. She just stares at Lu Zhengkang in disbelief with tears running down her face.

"Don't do that."

"What do you want from me! You're dying. What do you want from me? "

"I'll be fine."

"In case, we're only high school students. Don't think you've been an internal examiner. What's the major? Have you ever thought about it for your family and me? If something happens to you, how can I live?"

"Then you live for me." Lu Zhengkang said, "the road I have taken is not glorious. I am also selfish. If there is anything, I will bear it alone."

"I'm afraid you really can't come back." Su Xiangli sobbed, "why do you want to see you at the ballet performance? I want to see you under the stage and I'll dance for you. Why do you want to say such things? If something happens to you, I won't allow you to get hurt anywhere. Is it that Colonel Lin is looking for you again? Don't go, really, or let me go for you. "

Lu Zhengkang wiped Su Xiangli's cheek. She cried bitterly. Lu Zhengkang also felt uncomfortable. "No, don't worry. I won't have anything to do if I don't go as an internal examiner. When will the performance begin? I'm sure I'll see you dance, Susu

Su Xiangli choked for a while and managed to calm down. She wiped her face and showed a relieved smile. She said as if she had a few treasures: "this month, on the 17th, I checked. You finish the final exam on the 14th, and then you can go to Fujian and Guangdong on the 15th. On the 16th, I will go shopping with you and go to the amusement park. On the 17th, you will finish my competition, on the 18th Let's go home and see your granddad on the 19th. I've already thought about it. Lu Zhengkang, can you stay? Don't do anything. Can you stay with me? "

When she said that, there were stars in her eyes.

Lu Zhengkang nodded, "OK, I'm not going anywhere."
