People don't always move forward. When they reach a certain level, they will start to go back, and they will find their own way, their own starting point.Some people are more curious about the starting point than they are about the future. Therefore, humans have produced archaeology! Because humans have the urge to look back.It's the same even for individuals.In a sense, "where are we from" is not a question answered by others such as parents, nor is it a question of science such as chromosomes, but simply a question of self-awareness. In this sense, life begins not with birth but with memory.If time can be reversed, what is the end of your memory?

Zhou Jia liked to think about such weird questions. He is an avid archaeologist.However, because this guy's university major was not suitable, he did not embark on the path of archaeological excavation, but became an extremely ordinary clerk in a company.But this does not affect his hobby. Zhou Jia has a hobby, he likes to buy messy archaeological items online. The Internet has been born for more than 40 years. Up to now, online shopping has become very convenient.Just open your browser and you can buy anything really weird. But ever since Zhou Jia bought a string of sandalwood bead bracelets from an online antique store that was said to be from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, everything has changed.

It's not that there's anything wrong with that sandalwood bracelet, it really isn't. After Zhou Jia received the goods from the courier brother, he took a look at them and identified them with non-professional knowledge. At first, he was quite satisfied.The whole bracelet has the taste of time precipitation, each sandalwood bead seems to be loved and cared by the owner of the past generations, and the skin is rubbed so that the bead is smooth and round. So proud, he found a friend of his who had really studied antiques to appreciate together, and what happened afterwards was not very pleasant.

My friend found four small characters in an inconspicuous place inside the bead.These four small characters do lead directly to when and where the bracelet was made. Seeing those words, Zhou Jia's heart was filled with hormone-like excitement, and he immediately sank down.Those four words are quite simple - made in Dongguan! I actually bought a fake, and it was so blatantly fake.Zhou Jia, who lost face a lot, lost his temper and called the online shop owner to make an argument. The shopkeeper was also very confident: "Brother, where can I buy a sandalwood bead bracelet for more than 100 yuan? Our shop has already marked it as a fake on the delivery note. If you don't believe me, take a look at the delivery note."

Zhou Jia took a look at the courier slip, and indeed saw two very small "imitation" words on the product column.These two words are printed in white, and it is impossible to see clearly unless you look carefully. Zhou Jia became even more angry: "You are obviously suspected of cheating, I want to return the product with bad reviews." "Brother, I warn you that it is impossible to return the product. If you want a bad review, please weigh it yourself." The store snorted twice, "Our store is a ten-year-old store, and it has always been 100% positive. You If you want to know why, give it a bad review!"

"It doesn't matter why you don't have a bad review. In short, I have already rated this bad review." Zhou Jia roared hysterically: "Now, right away, I will show you the bad review." After speaking, he ordered a bad review on the shopping website. Within seconds, Zhou Jia's phone rang.The store's voice was very sharp: "You actually gave me a bad review, I warn you, cancel it immediately. Otherwise..." "Are you threatening me?" Zhou Jia also sneered, "I just gave a bad review, let's see what you can do. Come out and hit me!"

"If I don't hit you, you will regret it." The shopkeeper hung up the phone without any further chatter. Thinking about it now, the weird thing started on the third day after that. Three days later, Zhou Jia received a postal package.The sender was written very vaguely on the package, and he was also a little strange at the time.I haven't bought anything online recently. Where did the courier package come out? When he received the courier package and opened it, he was shocked. Damn!What's the situation? This was the first thought in Zhou Jia's mind after he realized it - there was a weird thing hidden in the package.Calling it weird, it seems to be a common object again.

But in this package, it is absolutely abrupt. Because that's a photo.The most frightening thing was that it was Zhou Jia's own photo. How could there be a photo of yourself in a courier package?Moreover, ten rows of strange symbols were drawn on the photo with a black oil-based pen. The symbols were scribbled, and Zhou Jia couldn't understand them at all. He thought it was just a prank, but he didn't pay much attention to it.After taking the photo home, I threw it in the drawer of the shoe cabinet at the door. But that night, he had a dream. He dreamed that he went to the window, opened it, and jumped out.The wind was pulling him, and Zhou Jia began to fall freely.Not long after he fell, he could even see a man downstairs turning his head and staring at him in surprise.

Then, he woke up with a start. Zhou Jia broke out in a cold sweat.He was in a daze, not knowing what was going on.It turned out to be a dream, but why is the dream so real? The place where he jumped was both strange and familiar, where exactly is it? The next night, he had another dream of jumping off a building.This time, he fell two floors down.The resident on the second floor is a pretty wife with a mole on her mouth.The wife also looked at him who was falling in surprise. night three... night four... Every night, he would have a dream of jumping off a building.Every night, I will drop one more layer down.Zhou Jia, who was indifferent at the beginning, became a little hysterical.He didn't know where the source of the dream was, and why he kept having this dream.

Also, he still doesn't know where the building that fell in the dream is. Definitely not the neighborhood I live in.Because Zhou Jia has lived in this community for more than ten years, and the neighbors in the neighborhood still meet each other.And all the faces he saw in his dream were unfamiliar. What frightened Zhou Jia the most was that in his dream, he couldn't see where he would end up.Since it is a building, there will be a last floor after all.When the self in the dream fell to the first floor, what exactly would happen? In this way, Zhou Jia became more and more frightened as the days passed.Things like taking it for granted didn't seem to work in that dream.Zhou Jia was terrified, desperately looking for the building in his dream.

Nine days passed like this. On that day, Zhou Jia, who had no intention of working and was scolded by the boss and almost lost his job, returned home wearily.He opened the shoe cabinet and stuffed the leather shoes in. Inadvertently, that strange photo floated out. Zhou Jia's eyes fell on Piaofei's photo without focus, and he was stunned for a moment. I saw that photo of myself, who was expressionless, but at some point showed a strange and sinister smile.Nine of the ten rows of symbols originally filled with oil-based pens have disappeared. Only the last row is left. This!How is this going?Oily handwriting is difficult to wipe off and does not evaporate.It is said that if written on paper, as long as the paper is not damaged, the handwriting will not disappear for a hundred years.But it's only been a short period of nine days, how can you say that if there is no one, it will be gone? Suddenly, big drops of cold sweat broke out on Zhou Jia's forehead.He's scared! Does the last row of weird symbols have any meaning? Zhou Jia felt that things were a little weird.Could it be that the dream, not just a dream, actually has some connection with this photo?Otherwise, why do nine rows of symbols disappear after nine days of dreaming? He connected to the Internet, took a photo according to the symbol, and sent it to an online shop that specializes in identifying ancient Chinese.After the price increase was expedited, the shopkeeper quickly gave Zhou Jia the answer. It was actually a mixture of ancient seal script and bronze inscriptions, which is often called a ghost painting talisman.It is a text written by people in the yang world for people in the underworld. The meaning of the remaining line of text in the photo is very simple - the last night! last night?Zhou Jia was quite frightened.Could it be that if I am in a dream tonight, I will fall to the first floor of that building? But after that, what will happen to him? No matter how he thought about it, Zhou Jia felt that it would definitely not be a good thing. In a cold sweat, he took a magnifying glass and looked around for that weird photo.He actually found a clue.In the photo that I didn't know when I took it, there was a building indistinctly.very small! Zhou Jia looked carefully with a magnifying glass, and finally saw clearly the name hanging on the roof—Seagate Building. The Seagate Building is in the city where he lives, and it is not too far from the community where he lives.Regardless of the exhaustion from work, Zhou Jia grabbed the photos like crazy and went downstairs. It was already late when he drove downstairs to the Seagate Building.Night filled the whole world. In the office building of the building, there was darkness and silence. This building was built quite a while ago, and it only has ten floors.The bottom four floors are office buildings, and the upper six floors are residential apartments. Zhou Jia sneaked around the security guards and went upstairs along the safety stairs until he reached the tenth floor. There is nothing on the tenth floor, not even anyone living there.The innermost unit was open, and the wind blew through the safety window of the unit building, making the door rattling. Zhou Jia walked over in fear and took a look inside.With just this one glance, his heart was instantly frozen. It was empty inside, but the window directly opposite, that window, Zhou Jia was very familiar with.Every night, in his dreams, the window he jumped from was the one in front of him.The window was exactly the same as in his dream, old, with mottled green paint, and even an inexplicable gloomy look. Zhou Jia panicked.He swore that he had never been to this building.But why does he keep dreaming of scenery he has never seen in his dream?Reason told him that if he wanted to escape, he must escape as soon as possible. But, perhaps, he could no longer escape! Suddenly, there was a sound of closing the door behind him. Zhou Jia turned his head away in surprise, his eyes widened.Obviously, he was still outside this door a second ago, but when did he already enter the room? Moreover, the door was firmly locked, no matter how much he bumped it, he couldn't break it open. Zhou Jia rubbed his sore shoulder, and kept looking around the room.There is indeed nothing in this empty room, there is only one window, and it has been empty for an unknown amount of time. Just when he was about to find something to pry open the door, suddenly, there was a sudden shaking, and the room shook violently. "What, what's going on?" Zhou Jia quickly grabbed the doorknob with his hands, trying to stabilize his body. But things were obviously getting worse, making him even more fearful and desperate, and something beyond common sense happened. The whole room turned ninety degrees.It was as if there was an invisible huge hand pulling up the whole building, wanting to pour beans, and poured him out of the window. Zhou Jia desperately grabbed the doorknob, but as a clerk who didn't practice much, he persisted for a while, and finally couldn't hold on anymore.In another violent shaking, his whole body fell in front of the window and fell out of the window.He fell again. — straight down. Fall to the ninth floor.He saw a man looking at him in surprise. Falling to the eighth floor, he came to a wife with a mole on her mouth, looking at him in horror as he fell. The seventh floor... The sixth floor... He kept falling, and then fell hard on the first floor. At the last moment of consciousness, Zhou Jia seemed to see something that he couldn't understand at all.His eyeballs saw a familiar Internet company name hanging on the outer wall of a company on the top of the building. It's that company.It was in that internet company that he bought a sandalwood bead bracelet. As if flashing back, Zhou Jia remembered the warning from the owner of the internet company again—"Our store is a ten-year-old store, and it has always been 100% positive. If you want to know why, just write bad reviews!" Now, Zhou Jia finally knows why there are no negative reviews on that online store! A few days later, the local newspaper published such a piece of lace news.A man who lived alone was found committing suicide by jumping off a building in the Seagate building in the middle of the night.When he died, holding his own photo firmly in his hand... The weirdest thing is that after the forensic autopsy, the man's brain seemed to have been seriously injured before he fell to the ground. This man did not fall to his death! The incident seemed to be buried in the overwhelming digital information like lace news, and there was no more splash!
