"Brother, brother?"

A shout came gradually closer and further away from my ears. The sound was erratic, but clear and moving, like the sound of a wind chime.

Who is it?

The confused consciousness seemed to become clearer with this cry.

Liao Yuan wanted to react, but found that his body seemed to be filled with lead and stone, so heavy that he could not extricate himself.

"Brother, wake up!"

Who is it?

It was as if spring thunder exploded, igniting the throbbing in my heart, and my ears rang with the sound of my heart beating like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.

I'm not dead?

Liao Yuan struggled, trying to take a deep breath...

The next moment, his cold hands and feet gradually began to feel, and the blood in his body began to boil. However, his chest seemed to be filled with a raging mudslide, making Liao Yuan feel as uncomfortable as drowning.

"Ignore you, I'm going to be late soon, I'll talk about it when I get back."

The wind chimes rang again.

In the darkness, there are bright spots rising and falling.

Gradually, the bright spot was like a blazing sun, emitting a dazzling light.

Liao Yuan felt his eyes itching, and tears burst out unexpectedly. Then, his body gradually regained consciousness.

He was finally able to open his eyes and found that he was lying sideways on the bed, the pillow wet with tears from the corners of his eyes.

In the blurred vision, a girl with waist-length black hair and a pink and white striped skirt was hurriedly carrying her schoolbag and pushing the door to leave. Her slender white legs became more and more prominent as the skirt flew up.

Pure and touching...

Wait a moment!

Liao Yuan realized something, he suddenly opened the sheets on his body and sat up.

But the next moment, he only felt pain in his brain, and something seemed to be hitting hard in his temple, trying to break through the surface.

He couldn't help but slap his head, as a buzzing sound sounded, as if countless 0s and 1s were passing by.

It took more than ten minutes for Liao Yuan to regain his composure.

Are you alive again?

Liao Yuan looked at his hands in confusion.

Her fair and slender fingers have clear joints and her nails are neatly trimmed.

With a little movement, the dexterous hands are like spring swallows flying in the air, walking in the air...

"These hands..."

He just stared at these beautiful hands and said, "It would be a pity not to play the piano..."

A moment later, Liao Yuan stood on the floor with his bare feet, facing the dressing mirror, looking at himself in the mirror.

Sword eyebrows, starry eyes, and facial features are quite three-dimensional.

An extremely handsome face with sharp edges and corners.

Compared with the appearance of the previous two lives, it is no less generous, and even... a bit worse.

"It seems...a new world again?"

Liao Yuan frowned, but then smiled.

Although I don’t know who is controlling everything...

But, now that he is here, he will naturally not give up every opportunity to live.

Liao Yuan closed his eyes and recalled the period before his death.

Regardless of day or night, there is a dark world around you, a room as silent as a deep valley, rats squeaking by, and smelly garbage piles...

The terror of dying...

Everything is extremely real.

He shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to forget all about the nightmare-like scene.

Yesterday's events are as clear as water.

And now.

Life starts over again...

Liao Yuan opened his eyes and shifted his gaze, taking in everything in the room.

The wardrobe is naturally open. Looking around, there are only two sets of clothes for you to wear in the huge wardrobe, and they are both black suits of the same style...

Liao Yuan looked at the desk.

On the desk, in addition to neatly arranged documents and a laptop, there is also a photo decorated with a glass frame.

In the photo, there is a young man and woman, one of whom is himself, smiling extremely brightly.

The other one is a girl with long black hair that reaches her waist.

If you look carefully, you can see that under her long and thick eyelashes, a pair of watery eyes are showing a proud look.

The thin and moist lips were slightly open, and the white teeth were slightly exposed. One hand was like a scissor, and the other was hugging his neck, as if to say: "I am the eldest brother."

"Brother Shanzhi?"

Liao Yuan's heart was touched, and the information in his mind swept through him again, making him smile involuntarily.

Then, he hesitated a little, then sat down at his desk, opened his laptop, and used a search engine to search for general information about the world.

China...

2021…

Liao Yuan became more frightened the more he checked.

Everything...has changed?

Not just the timeline, but all major events in modern history, including the development process of the times...

Everything has changed.

Liao Yuan became more and more silent as he watched.

The once familiar entertainment industry has once again become extremely unfamiliar.

In an era when talents emerge in large numbers, all walks of life are carefully documented, and China has become a developed country?

Including but not limited to winning the lottery, all opportunities to get rich overnight have almost become synonymous with delusion.

Social class has been solidified, and it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.

In the entertainment industry, stars' labor fees, salaries, etc. are also strictly managed by relevant departments.

It seems that all the opportunities that should arise in developing countries to achieve success in one step will no longer appear easily.

The sky-high appearance fees and endorsement fees have almost disappeared in the country.

Apart from making money with rich knowledge and outstanding skills, there seems to be no possibility of upward advancement.

With constant page searches, the information stored in Liao Yuan's mind was completely activated.

All the memories of this time and space were restored in an instant.

All the images fill my mind.

Every scene is as real as if it were experienced personally, giving Liao Yuan the illusion of time and space travel.

"Three days, there are still three days left!"

Liao Yuan stared at the blank document that had been open for who knows how long on the screen, and murmured: "So, this is the purpose of you summoning me..."

…

Liao Yuan's predecessor was a midnight radio anchor. Due to the nature of his work, his predecessor lived a life of day and night reversed every day.

The program he broadcast on the radio was called "The Strange Things in the World".

The broadcast time is from midnight to two o'clock. It is said that it was once a popular midnight program and has been broadcast for eight years.

During its glory days, the listening rate of this program channel reached the first place in its time period.

But as the years passed, and with the constant replacement of old anchors and new anchors, by Liao Yuan's time, among all the programs in the same period, the listening rate of "The Curious Things in the World" can be said to be at the bottom of the list.

Every time the station's program ratings are evaluated, it ranks last.

This directly resulted in Liao Yuan's predecessor basically being unable to raise his head when walking around the stage.

Therefore, in addition to going to and from work mechanically every day and collecting free manuscripts with public copyright, Liao Yuan's life is all about broadcasting for two hours after midnight every day.

Such a life is pale and feeble, with almost no future in sight.
