There's a black hole inside me

Hanghu City, Xiajiang District.

Sunshine International Community, Building 9, 3202, a finely decorated single room for rent with an indoor area of ​​more than 20 square meters.

A young man in his twenties was sitting on the mahogany floor, holding a Wacon high-end digital tablet in his hand and a touch pen in the other hand. From time to time, he would draw lines and paint on the canvas area of ​​the screen. Colored, the state is engaged and serious.

Under his brush, a cute anime woman with long pink hair, wearing a Lolita skirt and white stockings gradually took shape and appeared in front of people like a three-dimensional figure.

Modified slightly.

The final touch is made and the work is sent to the customer through the Penguin account.

"Thank you, Brother Ming. I am very satisfied with this original painting of Anastasia. I will send you the remaining payment immediately!"

Ding dong, Alipay sent a notification that a transfer of 300 yuan has arrived.

He put away the tablet, stood up, moved his neck and limbs, walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window on the edge of the balcony, looked at the buildings and river in the distance, and listened to the noise of car horns and other human activities.

Somehow, Wei Ming always had an instinctive irritability lingering in his heart.

Wei Ming, male, 26 years old, height 175cm, weight 144kg, average appearance, messy hair, ordinary clothes, not associated with handsomeness, has not been popular with women since he was a child, graduated from a junior college, studied in school Three years of animation art.

After graduation, he first entered the IT field and became a UI designer.

Last year, due to the impact of the epidemic, the Internet winter and other factors, he lost his job. He usually worked part-time as an original painter, but it became his only source of income. In addition, he has solid painting skills and excellent figure painting. He has a certain reputation in the circle of original painters. Due to his popularity, many new and old customers place orders with him, and the price ranges from 300 to 800 yuan per piece.

Wei Ming works four hours a day and can draw about 15 paintings a month, earning a monthly income of five to six thousand.

And this income level, compared with the consumption level of Hanghu City, a new first-tier city, it is difficult to save any money.

After all, the rent alone for this finely decorated house is 2,200 per month, plus the electricity bill.

It costs 1500 to eat.

It costs at least 500 to buy clothes, watch movies, get a haircut and go shopping.

Miscellaneous expenses such as mobile phone bills cost more than 300.

In one month, the total of various expenses will be more than 4,500.

Wei Ming, who makes his living as a freelance artist, doesn't have much savings.

So there is no need to mention things like finding a girlfriend to get out of singles, because I don’t have the financial strength.

A house and a car are just distant dreams for him.

Home, decadent, and melancholy are the labels affixed to his forehead. In the future, China's economic growth will be weak, the birth rate will decline, and the number of unmarried people living alone will continue to increase. I am afraid that he will have a share of his contribution.

In fact, it is not that Wei Ming has never made progress. In the years after graduation, he worked hard, often worked overtime, and found ways to take on various private jobs. He rarely rested even on holidays. He lived frugally and saved more than ten dollars every year. Ten thousand, bosses and colleagues all praise and admire me.

but……

Sometimes your efforts may not be rewarded, but may cause harm and worsen the situation.

As a result, Wei Ming fell into depression for a time and relied on medication to sleep normally.

Even now I haven't come out of that state.

Stand in front of a window, open it, and let some air in.

Looking at the distant scenery.

It smells of air mixed with car exhaust, chemical plant pollutants, and PM2.5 content.

Wei Ming shook his head.

"The air in the countryside is better."

"Why don't you go back to the countryside and rent a house with a small yard, then grow some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks in the yard? If you feel tired, you can put on your backpack and go for an outing nearby, or bring a fishing rod. , fishing in the lake..."

"This kind of life might be pretty good."

Wei Ming's face showed a look of longing, and he even had an impulse in his heart.

After all, as a freelancer, he can go anywhere in the world. There is no need to stick to a big city and breathe the uncomfortable turbid air all day long.

Moreover, the cost of living in the countryside is not high, and you can also grow your own vegetables, which is suitable for health maintenance and full of fun.

It is indeed a good idea to go to the countryside for development.

…

Quasar.

The oldest, most massive and most energy dense celestial body in the universe.

They are the products of the final stage of the evolution of galaxies. Their core is generally a massive black hole with a mass of millions to tens of trillions of times the sun, surrounded by nebula dust that is tens to tens of thousands of light-years in diameter.

Under the huge gravitational pull of the black hole at the core of the quasar, dust from the surrounding nebulae continues to fall into the center of the black hole, forming a giant eye-shaped accretion disk.

Due to the falling of a large amount of matter, at the two poles of the black hole, the huge transformation energy will push a large number of high-energy particles to eject outward at a speed infinitely close to the speed of light, forming two huge light pillars.

Right now.

In a star field 12.7 billion light-years away from Blue Star, a quasar with a core black hole with a mass of more than 1,000 trillion suns, after devouring enough matter, a quantitative change triggered a qualitative change, and suddenly exploded!

A violent ray burst erupted.

Among the countless high-energy particles ejected, there is a strange high-energy particle. The energy contained in it is unimaginable. It is very similar to the original particles that were born in a very short time during the Big Bang.

Then at a speed that exceeds common sense and far exceeds the speed of light, across endless time and space, it flies towards a certain direction of the Blue Star.

…

It's approaching evening.

It's getting dark.

The row of green office buildings across the river began to light up with colorful neon lights.

I thought of my great years when I was only 26 years old.

It suddenly began to exude a strong twilight atmosphere, just like the twilight in the evening, and I fantasized about living an idyllic, relaxed and comfortable country life.

Enter retirement forty years early.

"Is it really appropriate to think about retiring so early and just waiting to die?"

"Can drawing two-dimensional cute girls every day fill the void of not having a partner?"

"A house, a car, in this prosperous world, wouldn't it be better to have a place of your own to settle down than to have nothing left in the world?"

"It cannot be as brilliant as a summer flower, but it must at least emit a little light and heat that can be seen by people, just like that shooting star, like a red line, although it is inconspicuous, it cuts through the sky."

"No, why did that meteor fly towards me?"

Astonished!

Before he had time to dodge, the red thin line went straight into Wei Ming's forehead and entered his brain.

Boom!

The scene of the Big Bang seemed to reappear in front of Wei Ming's eyes, with endless energy and dazzling fire jumping and shining in front of him, showing countless changes, forming a fiery orange world, full of violence, disorder and chaos.

Plop~

Wei Ming suddenly fainted.
