Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 108: “Starry Night”
The officer continued: "Mr. Zhang, this video contains Irwin's last words, please read it first."
Zhang Yuan took the video recorder and pressed the button.
"...I have never discovered that I am so weak. I'm sorry, this is my final word. I have decided to end my life here." Irvin said in a hoarse voice in front of the video recorder. .
His eyes were very dim, and the flame of life seemed to have disappeared on his face.
"...On the earth, I am a world-famous painter. The rich and powerful take pleasure in collecting my paintings. In their eyes, I am an out-and-out great artist. Whether it is an official or a rich man, Treat me respectfully and give me ample respect."
"This may have something to do with my father. My father is also a great artist. Who knows whether they like me or my father?"
"For me, it’s easy to get anything, whether it’s wealth, power, or the beautiful opposite sex. I used to be the mayor of a small city in Lan Guo and tasted the taste of power; I have also set a record of having **** with women in one night. It was a really satisfying and empty night..."
"I have enjoyed a million-yuan meal... I have lived in a 3,000-square-meter mansion."
"I have climbed Mount Everest, visited the Mariana Trench...Every performance art adds to my worth."
In the video, Irwin recalled the glorious past and showed a satisfied smile.
"Do you know? Actually, this kind of life is quite boring. After a happy life, sometimes I feel dissatisfied and want to pursue higher levels of happiness. Alas, human beings are such creatures who never know satisfaction. Right."
"Various desires are like a black hole full of magic. After falling into the black hole, sometimes I want to struggle to get out, but I don’t want to get out after seeing everyone fighting to jump into this black hole. But Except for taking drugs, there seems to be no higher happiness... who knows... I always feel that being alive is meaningless."
"One day, on a whim, I came up with a whim-leave the earth. I'm going to an alien planet to find my art!"
"I signed up enthusiastically, donated money, and countless compliments came as expected!"
"At that moment, it was so cool! It was so cool!"
At this point, Irwin's eyes widened, showing a hideous expression: "But this may be the biggest mistake I have made in my life."
spread his hands out: "Everything is gone."
"I fell from the high Genting Temple and became a mortal. I can no longer do what I want, and I still cannot accept this change."
"But I know that it is the only chance for me to be great in my life..."
"If I stay on the earth, I will be obsessed with the final fall. The reason why a black hole is called a black hole is because once I jump in, there is no way to get rid of it."
"But at the moment, staying on the Earth Age, I feel endless regret, pain and trouble... I want women, food, luxury cars!"
"Do you know this contradiction?!"
Irvine paused, pointed to a painting behind him, and said enthusiastically: "I did it!"
"This is the real art!!"
After a while, his excitement calmed down: "My death is a personal will and has nothing to do with anyone. Just let me stay here. I don’t need to witness the new home planet with my own eyes, no matter if the home planet is Good or bad, let it stay in my imagination."
"...if possible, please spread my ashes on Europa's land, thank you all."
"Send this painting back to Earth, auction it out, and donate all the auction money to the Deep Space Foundation."
"It is the best and most outstanding work of my life!"
"There is also a second painting for my friend, Mr. Zhang Yuan. I don’t understand science, but I just hope you can be the brightest star in the night sky."
The first oil painting, the fiery red sky, the green-grey grass, a lonely figure is looking up at the stars.
Countless stars, including the sun directly above, are shining each other in the sky.
The seemingly unremarkable paintings give people a feeling of very annoyance, remorse, and powerlessness, just like the depression and contradiction that Irwin had before committing suicide.
Because of the infinite light in the sky, there is still no way to illuminate a large area of darkness, including the dark figure.
The feeling of helplessness reaches the human heart, as if it can tear the heart alive.
This feeling is very subtle. Even people like Zhang Yuan who don't understand art at all can feel the arousing soul in painting.
It is a kind of despair, struggle, and unwillingness to reality.
An angry, lustful cry.
The new home planet is not the real home planet anyway, but no matter what, it’s impossible to go back in time.
Once a choice is made, it is impossible to go back.
This is not only his personal mood, but also represents the entire Earth Age.
Zhang Yuan sighed long.
Yeah, I can’t go back.
Starting today~IndoMTL.com~Human civilization may have one more painter comparable to Van Gogh.
Irwin is cowardly, but he is not a coward.
The last swan song in life, sighing, but amazing.
The next second painting is pure black, with the only bright spot in the upper left corner.
The difference is that this light is made up of countless dense small bright spots. The inspiration for this painting came from a conversation with Irwin at that time.
Zhang Yuan finally knew why Irvine gave it to himself.
He stood there in silence for a few minutes.
"This matter can only be claimed as an accident for the time being, otherwise it will cause more instability..." Captain Ma whispered: "The people who should stay stay, the ones who should leave, wait for all After people have made up their minds to hibernate, let’s make this public again."
"As for this painting, according to Irwin's will, I will give it to you. I hope you can cherish it."
"It may be the first work of art in the new civilization."
Zhang Yuan returned to the dormitory and slowly moved this painting to his residence.
has been facing it for a long time.
Erwin died just like that, and chatted with himself a few days ago.
It’s still a little bit suffocating.
He suddenly noticed a line of small print on the back of the painting.
""Starry Night", 2265.9.11, Irvine."
Zhang Yuan raised his head and turned off the light.
There is no light in the room. The white light in the painting seems to light up in my heart.
emotions suddenly erupted at this moment, Zhang Yuan rubbed his eyes, not crying, but a kind of farewell to his friend.
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye...
