Goldfish

The goldfish in the pond were caught, watched, and kept in captivity, without knowing either life or death. Eli stood by the pool and saw through the captivity. He is an orphan living on the street, and his appearance is the same as that of an abandoned wild Buddha in the mountains. On the day when a heavy rain destroyed the temple, he saw a man kissing the mutilated and cold Buddha statue, and also fell into the man's unbroken obsession for two lifetimes. The man's name was Silas, a retired soldier who later became his guardian. One remembers nothing and only wants to be himself in this life; the other remembers nothing and is stuck in the shadows. They are pulled between closeness and distance, struggling between the substitute and the self. "Am I similar to him?" "... Different." "Then when did you see me?" The rain is still falling in Wuting City, the goldfish are still spinning in the tank, and Silas is always stirring the cocoa thirteen and a half times. The world is a tank and all living beings are fish. True freedom is not to escape from the tank, but to know that you are in the tank and still choose to exist. —— An imaginary city combining Chinese and Western styles | Silas × Eli Two Life Memory Battlefield PTSD Nihility Attack × Transparent Paranoid Fishing System Existence Suffering Concept: Memory is the anchor, and the soul is the root.
