2、英文版 原版

　　Neon lights in Cyberpunk World, Underground City and Supermarkets keep flashing, the mechanical station smokes and breaks down, and cars collide with each other. The night is cold like a winter of despair. A man walks along the dark road, he carries an old suitcase. He\'s looking for a place to stay.

　　\"Can you help me?\" asks the stranger. \"I\'m looking for a place to stay.\"
　　\"What\'s your name? Your real name?\"
　　\"David,\" says David.
　　The woman looks at him suspiciously for a while, then opens the door of her flat and lets him inside. She is beautiful.
　　\"Why have you come here?\" she asks.
　　\"It\'s not important,\" replies David.
　　She closes the door behind him.

　　In the living room there are two men sitting on opposite sides of the room, smoking cigarettes and drinking beer. One of them is playing chess with himself, but not very well. They are watching TV and listening to music. There is no sound except from the TV. The women sits next to one of the men, who gives her money. She puts it in the pocket of his coat which hangs over the back of a chair. Then she takes the cigarette out of her mouth, places it between her lips and blows the smoke into her companion\'s face.

　　The second man notices this, laughs and says: \"How do you like that?\"
　　The first man nods approvingly. The second man throws a bottle on the floor and gets up to go out. The woman shouts after him: \"Come on! You\'re drunk!\"
　　He ignores her, goes downstairs and starts walking away. The woman follows him, grabs him by the arm and pulls him back into the room. He is about to hit her, but stops suddenly when he sees how beautiful she is.
　　\"You bitch!\" he screams.
　　\"Shut up, or I\'ll call the police!\"
　　The second man is still standing in the doorway, watching everything calmly. He turns off the TV and puts on headphones. The woman starts hitting the first man. She pushes him against the wall and begins to strangle him. But before she can kill him, the second man comes into the room and picks her up, holds her tightly by the throat and starts strangling her too.
　　David watches all this without saying a word. While the two men fight, the third man steps into the kitchen, opens the fridge and takes some food out of it. Then he goes upstairs, returns with a knife and stabs the first man in the neck. The second man falls down dead, bleeding. The third man throws the knife away and takes the suitcase from the man he killed. He opens it and takes out five thousand dollars. Then he leaves the flat.

　　\"What a mess!\" says David.
　　\"Don\'t talk!\" says the woman. \"Leave now, while you still can!\"
　　David looks around, sees the bloodstains on the carpet, the broken window, the body lying on the floor, the dead man, the dead woman, the knife, the money, the bloody table and the chess pieces.
　　\"I can\'t leave,\" he whispers. \"I\'ve come here for my revenge. I came here to get even with those bastards.\"
　　The woman shakes her head and sighs.
　　\"You fool,\" she says. \"Your revenge won\'t help you. They\'re already dead, and you know it. Why did you come here?\"
　　\"Because they were rich,\" says David. \"And I was poor. Because of their money, and because they took it away from me.\"
　　The woman nods sadly.

　　\"We all take what we want from people who are weaker than us,\" she says.
　　\"Yes,\" says David. \"But I didn\'t do anything wrong. And they stole so much from me.\"
　　\"That\'s true,\" agrees the woman. \"They should have given it to you, but they didn\'t. That\'s why it\'s your right to get it back. It\'s your revenge!\"
　　\"No, it isn\'t!\" shouts David. \"It\'s just blood money! They deserve to die!\"
　　\"You don\'t understand,\" says the woman. \"If you want to get even with them, you must live in peace with everyone else. You must be patient. You must forgive them. If you don\'t, you will never find peace.\"
　　\"But they hurt me,\" protests David. \"They beat me, they humiliated me, and they made fun of me. They robbed me. They laughed at me. They didn\'t give me my share. They took everything from me.\"
　　\"Yes, they did,\" says the woman. \"And that\'s why you have to get even with them.\"
　　\"I can\'t!\" cries David. \"I need my revenge!\"
　　\"Then get it! Don\'t let it burn inside you. Get it and move on.\"
　　\"Live with them?\" repeats David. \"You\'re crazy. How could I ever live with them?\"
　　\"All you have to do is forget about them,\" says the woman.
　　\"Forget about them?\"
　　\"Yes, forget about them! Forget about everything. Live in the present. Forgive them, if you can. And move on. Find another life, a new life, a new way of getting even, a different kind of revenge. Only then will you find peace.\"
　　David looks at the woman. She is beautiful. She is young and strong and healthy. She has long black hair and bright blue eyes.
　　\"You\'re right,\" he whispers. \"I will do as you say. I will forget about them. I will forgive them. But I won\'t live with them. Never!\"
　　After a while he asks: \"Will I find peace?\"
　　\"Yes, you will,\" says the woman.
　　***
　　A few days later, a strange man walks through the streets of the city. People look at him strangely, but he doesn\'t pay any attention to them. He keeps looking for a place where he can sleep. When he finds an empty building, he enters and sits down on the stairs.

　　Suddenly he hears a voice.
　　\"Stop!\"
　　The man looks around, but sees nothing. The only thing that seems unusual is the light that shines from under the door of the staircase.
　　\"Who\'s there?\" asks the man.
　　\"Where are you going?\" asks the voice.
　　\"I\'m looking for a place to sleep,\" answers the man.
　　\"Are you alone?\" asks the voice.
　　\"Yes,\" replies the man.
　　\"Do you have a gun?\" asks the voice.
　　\"No,\" says the man.
　　\"Then I must ask you to surrender yourself,\" says the voice.
　　\"What do you mean?\" asks the man.
　　\"It\'s simple,\" says the voice. \"Just let me take you to the station. I\'m going to make a report and you will become part of the system. In return, you\'ll be taken care of.\"
　　\"What does it mean?\" asks the man.
　　\"It means that you\'ll live in peace,\" explains the voice. \"You\'ll have everything you need. You won\'t have to work anymore. All your needs will be met.\"
　　\"What if I don\'t agree?\" asks the man.
　　\"Then I will arrest you and take you to prison,\" replies the voice.
　　“I will kill you first.”says the man.
　　\"Don\'t worry,\" says the voice. \"I will let you go free afterwards, and I will never bother you again.\"
　　\"Is that really true?\" asks the man.
　　\"Of course it\'s true,\" says the voice.
　　\"Okay,\" says the man. \"I\'ll do it. Take me to the station.\"

　　The man stands up and climbs the stairs. The voice leads him into a small room and closes the door behind him. There are two chairs in front of a table. On the table there is a book. The man sits down in one of the chairs and opens the book. It has words written on its pages, but he can\'t read them.Suddenly he sees the woman. She is sitting next to him, reading the book.
　　\"How did you find me?\" asks the man.
　　\"I followed you,\" says the woman. \"When you went into the building, I knew where you had gone.\"
　　\"You are a ghost?\"
　　\"No, not yet,\" answers the woman. \"I am a ghost now. But soon I\'ll be alive.\"
　　\"Where did you learn to speak like this?\" asks the man.
　　\"From books,\" replies the woman.
　　\"interesting！\"
　　\"There is a lot more,\" says the woman. \"This is just the beginning.\"
　　\"Tell me,\" says the man.
　　\"Before I tell you anything, I want you to promise to do something for me,\" says the woman.
　　“no！” says the man.
　　\"Please,\" says the woman. \"Promise to do whatever I ask you to.\"
　　The man looks at her and thinks for a moment. Finally he smiles and says: \"Okay, I promise. What do you want me to do?\"
　　\"First of all,\" says the woman. \"Turn the page.\"
　　The man turns the page and reads the following words:
　　?Life is meaningless and full of suffering.
　　“fuck！”
　　\"Fuck,\" says the man.
　　\"Is that all you can say?\" asks the woman.
　　\"yes,\" says the man. \"it\'s all I can think of.\"
　　\"Well,\" says the woman. \"I guess we\'re done here. Goodbye.\"
　　The man looks at her and says: \"Wait, wait!\"
　　\"Go ahead,\" says the woman.
　　\"At least tell me your name.\"
　　\"My name is Lila,\" says the woman.

　　The man looks at her for a while and then asks: \"Why do you say \'Fuck\' all the time?\"
　　Lila smiles and says: \"Because I like it.\"
　　“You must be god.”
　　“I\'m not God, but I\'ve been told I\'m good at my job.\"
　　The man looks at her thoughtfully for a while, then asks: \"Can I ask you a question?\"
　　\"Sure,\" says Lila.
　　\"Why did you choose me?\"
　　\"You\'re the first person who turned the page,\" says Lila.
　　\"But why me?\" asks the man.
　　\"It happened by chance,\" says Lila. \"That\'s all I can say. I don\'t know why.\"
　　\"Okay,\" says the man. \"Thank you very much. I\'ll see you again.\"
　　\"Goodbye.\"

　　As soon as the man goes outside, he sees a taxi. He gets in and tells the driver to take him to his address. The driver knows where he lives, so it doesn\'t take long to arrive. The man pays the driver and goes upstairs. His wife, Sarah, is waiting for him. She is holding the baby in her arms.
　　\"Hi,\" says the man. \"What\'s the matter? Where\'s the baby?\"
　　\"She\'s asleep,\" says Sarah. \"I\'ll put her to bed.\"
　　The man gives a big smile and takes the baby from his wife. He kisses her on the forehead and says: \"You\'re such a good mother.\"
