In the post-modern era where technology is developing rapidly, Qi Xu is still doing 996 mechanical work.
Day after day, it's extremely boring and can be replaced at any time.
But one day, her life changed slightly:
The printer seemed to have sprouted gills, and her colleague had tentacles. Eight soft tentacles were tapping on the keyboard, eight times more efficient than her!
Even the water he drank had a faint salty and bitter taste, just like... Sea water.
The psychiatrist comforted her gently: "You're under too much pressure and you're hallucinating. You need to stop working for a while. Come on, I'll prescribe you some medicine. You'll be fine after you take it."
The woman's voice contained a gentle hint, and then she took away Qi Xu's month's salary at the checkout.
Qi Xu opened her eyes again, and everything had changed.
The familiar yet unfamiliar classroom, the chattering teacher, the short-haired deskmate wearing black-rimmed glasses, the salty and hot sea breeze, a brand new local newspaper on the table, with shocking news on the headlines——
"Talent comes from young people!" Congratulations to Zhang Daoyu from our town for extracting "X" substance and being admitted as a graduate student at X University"
She returned to the year 2015 on the old calendar.
She was fifteen years old this year and had skipped a grade to enter the third year of high school. Zhang Daoyu was nineteen years old.
There are still six months left before Zhang Daoyu's famous death.
Zhang Daoyu's small laboratory is built on the seaside, with cold white lights all day long. She is wearing a white coat, with thick black eyelashes, and is concentrating on dissecting the blue, unnamed octopus in her hand.
Her voice was low and hazy, as if coming from a far away place, "Xiao Xu, it's time to take the college entrance examination, so don't come here anymore."
None of this was different from Qi Xu's memory, but in the next moment, Zhang Daoyu said something that did not exist in her memory, "Xiao Xu, if you get into my alma mater in college, I will tell you a secret."
The dark eyelashes were covered with sticky honey, and Zhang Daoyu's amber eyes were like some kind of bewitching monster.
But Qi Xu knew that three months later, on the day she passed the college entrance examination, Zhang Daoyu swallowed the X extracted by herself. The neurotoxin of the blue octopus caused her to fall into hallucinations, so she walked into the sea and returned to the "cradle of life" with the blue octopus.
