Chapter 229 The Truman Show

After returning to the courtyard, Zhang Xiao lay on the lounge chair in the pavilion, eating fruit salad and enjoying Deng Jie's massage.

"Are you tired these two days?" Deng Jie asked.

"I've been worrying about a lot of things these past two days, and I'm a little tired, but I finally took care of it today, and I can go to school with peace of mind." Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

"You can't make enough money, you should pay more attention to your health." Deng Jie couldn't help but persuade.

"My wife is right," Zhang Xiao suddenly said.

"Who is your wife? I haven't agreed yet." Deng Jie suddenly felt a little shy. Although the two had already lived together, their relationship had not been confirmed yet. At this time, Zhang Xiao called her wife. Although Deng Jie felt sweet in her heart, she was not satisfied with her face.

Still a little shy.

"Don't you want to?" Zhang Xiao chuckled.

"You haven't proposed yet, and I don't know yet whether I am willing or not." Deng Jie stopped what she was doing and said angrily.

Zhang Xiao laughed and stopped talking, because if he continued, it would really be a proposal.

Seeing Zhang Xiao change the topic, Deng Jie couldn't help but sigh slightly, thinking that Zhang Xiao was worried about her identity and the huge family behind her.

But in fact, Zhang Xiao didn't think much about it. He just thought of his wife Tong Yao in his previous life, so he didn't continue talking.

Due to the silence, both of them were a little embarrassed at this time, but Deng Jie quickly broke the silence and said: "Let's go watch a movie."

"Okay, I don't have anything to do anyway." Zhang Xiao agreed immediately.

Soon the two of them arrived at the cinema, and Zhang Xiao saw the promotional poster for "The Truman Show" at the entrance of the cinema.

Deng Jie pulled Zhang Xiao to buy a movie ticket, smiled at Zhang Xiao and said, "My classmates have all watched this movie and heard it is very good."

"Then let's take a look." Zhang Xiao said nonchalantly.

Since Zhang Xiao was reborn in this life, he has never been very interested in movies because he has seen most of them before and is unwilling to watch them again. However, since Deng Jie wanted to watch them, Zhang Xiao did not refuse and could only accompany him.

Deng Jie continued to look.

What's more, The Truman Show is a really good movie. Although Zhang Xiao had seen it in his previous life, he only saw The Truman as a joke in life.

And now watching this classic movie again, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but feel fear, because he felt that he might be another Truman. After all, it is said that it is impossible for people to be reborn, but he happened to be reborn, and he returned to

Fifteen years old, a period he wanted to return to in countless dreams.

In the movie, "The Truman Show" is a reality TV show, but its ideas are extremely avant-garde and bold, because the entire show has only one actor, or in other words, only one real person. And The Truman Show is the only real person.

A column was created specifically for him, and a world, a virtual world, was developed specifically for him.

Truman has lived in this world for almost 30 years. He has memories from childhood to adulthood, familiar childhood and first love, lovers and relatives, neighbors and passers-by he meets every day, but all of them are tailor-made for him.

, everyone else knows that this is a show, everyone feels that they are playing the role of actors, they try their best to play their own identities, only Truman is being himself.

Originally, Truman had been living a stable life according to the ideas and arrangements of the column director, but as Truman grew older, his thinking gradually matured, and he began to discover some abnormalities in his life.

From the inexplicable disappearance of his first love in school and the words he warned himself before leaving, to the chandelier accidentally falling from the sky, and the strange conversation received on the radio that turned out to be exactly the same as his own trajectory, his father, who died unexpectedly 22 years ago, reunited

Back to me, there are secrets hidden in the elevator of the building and so on.

In this column, Truman is an ordinary young man. He has lived on this Taoyuan Island all his life, from birth to school, to graduation, employment and even marriage.

Truman lived in an arranged life, and if there were no accidents, he would continue to live like this until he died.

In the outside world, every fragment of Truman's life trajectory has been turned into a 24-hour live show and broadcast to various places around the world.

Every day in Truman's life has become the most concerned thing for everyone around the world. Everyone seems to be participating in Truman's world. They witness their children growing up, graduating, falling in love, and getting married.

Truman has become everyone’s spiritual sustenance.

Except Truman himself.

If Truman continues to live such an ordinary life according to the setting of the column team, it probably confirms the director's conjecture that Truman is a person without ambition and is only suitable for living in such a real and controllable world.

But the reality is, Truman is not.

When he discovered a series of abnormal phenomena in his life and began to wonder if he was being monitored or followed, he began to re-examine his life and even the people or things around him.

Including the neighbors and passers-by who appear from time to time, including the wife who always says advertising slogans inexplicably, including the wife’s folded finger movements when taking the wedding oath, which represents confession and lies.

Even, Truman began to recall his childhood experience, the sudden wave that claimed his father's life, which completely gave up Truman's idea of ​​going out on an adventure.

There are also TVs that are always broadcasting various indoctrination about the concept of home, and warnings about dangers that are everywhere around us.

Even though the column team arranged a touching scene in which father and son reunited after many years, Truman did not show any disgust.

However, in the dead of night, Truman really escaped.

He used a clever method to deceive the cameras and surveillance personnel around him, disguised his sleeping appearance and voice, and secretly escaped through the hole dug in advance between the basement and the lawn.

The situation after that became very magical. Because of Truman's departure, "The Truman Show" was suspended for the first time. All the actors came out to look for Truman, and the moon that was supposed to shine quietly became

A big searchlight is constantly shining in this virtual world, looking for traces of Truman everywhere.

Finally, the director, who had no choice but to find Truman more conveniently, broke the natural laws of the world and arranged the sunrise in advance, turning night into day in an instant.

Everyone thought that Truman would be in a seemingly safe place, but unexpectedly, Truman chose the ocean that he was most afraid of.

Truman went to sea on a boat.

In fact, no one knows Truman. In order to prevent Truman from leaving this place, the column team arranged a marine disaster, which directly caused Truman's father character to withdraw from the show.

This also directly led to Truman's lifelong fear of the ocean.

However, Truman’s first wish was to be an adventurer. Everyone seems to have forgotten this. In their eyes, Truman should be a person who can stay here with peace of mind, and his character should be resigned to fate.

.

Therefore, when the camera captured the scene of Truman sailing out to sea on a sailboat, everyone was shocked.

This is also the climax of the film. Truman, who was afraid of the sea, began to overcome his fear and move forward without fear after many reorganizations of his world view.

In order to prevent Truman from leaving again, the director arranged the biggest wave.

A physically strong person can be beaten, but a mentally strong person cannot be defeated.

Truman said to this person who was playing tricks on him, unless you kill me, you can't stop me.

The director finally compromised and gave Truman a way to survive when he was about to die in the sea.

Then Truman's sailboat hit the edge of this world.

It was a wall painted with the sky and clouds. From the beginning, Truman suspected that he was being watched and monitored and controlled by some people. Later, he suspected that the people around him belonged to a group that monitored him, until he came to the border of this world.

Only then did I truly discover that I had been living in a virtual world.

Truman couldn't believe it, but he was determined to leave this world.

It was also at this time that Christopher, the creator of Truman and the column director, turned on the cosmic broadcast mode and had the only conversation with Truman.

The director said that the outside world is just as unreal as here, with lies and fraud, but in this world, you don't have to be afraid of anything.

At this time, the director was still immersed in his identity as a creator. He was still convinced that Truman would continue to live in this show and in this world according to his own settings.

But at this time, Truman is no longer the simple Truman. Like all human beings, once they discover the door to the new world, they will no longer follow the rules of the past. This is human nature and the pursuit of what makes people human.

Zhang Xiao pretended to watch the whole movie as if nothing had happened, but deep down in his heart, he had a doubt, that is, whether the world he lives in now is real or fake. If it is real, then why can he be reborn and go back to the past? If

If it is false, then how big is this false world? How can we break this false world and return to the past?

Zhang Xiao had doubts about this world for the first time since his rebirth, but he knew very well that he could only slowly investigate the truth of everything, and the key to all this may still lie in the Yuan Chain, and perhaps only the Yuan Chain can reveal it.

The truth of the matter.

Zhang Xiao silently stroked the spot where the elemental chain disappeared on his forehead, but he made up his mind to replenish his energy as soon as possible, and then improve himself as much as possible. Maybe if he reaches the limit, the truth may appear before his eyes.

Although the movie was over at this time, Deng Jie was still excited. She pulled Zhang Xiao onto the bustling streets and began to buy the clothes she liked.
