The officer continued: "Mr. Zhang, this video contains Erwin's last words, you can take a look first."

Zhang Yuan took the video recorder and pressed the button.

"...I never found that I was so weak. Sorry, this is my final last word. I have decided to end my life here." Erwin said in a hoarse voice in front of the video recorder.

His eyes were very dull, and the flames of life seemed to have disappeared on his face.

"... On the earth, I am a world-famous painter. The powerful people use my collection of my paintings as their fun. In their eyes, I am an absolute great artist. Both officials and wealthy people respect me and give me sufficient respect."

"It may have something to do with my father, who is also a great artist. Who knows whether they like me or my father?"

"For me, it is easy to get anything, whether it is wealth, power, or beautiful opposite sex. I used to be the mayor in a small city in Languo and tasted the taste of power; I also set a record of a woman overnight. It was a satisfying and empty night..."

"I enjoyed a meal of over one million yuan...I have lived in a luxury house of 3,000 square meters."

“I have climbed Mount Everest and visited the Mariana Trench…every performance art will increase my value.”

In the video, Elvin recalls the glorious past and smiles with satisfaction.

"Do you know? Actually, this kind of life is quite boring. After living a happy life, sometimes I feel dissatisfied and want to pursue higher-level happiness. Alas, human beings themselves are such creatures that never know how to satisfy themselves."

"All kinds of desires are like a black hole full of magic. After falling into a black hole, sometimes they want to struggle to come out, but seeing everyone struggling to jump into this black hole, they don't want to come out. But apart from taking drugs, there seems to be no higher happiness... Who knows... I always feel that living is meaningless."

"Suddenly one day, I had a sudden whim and had a whim of thought - leave the earth. I want to go to the alien planet to find my art!"

"I signed up with great enthusiasm, donated money, and countless praises came as promised!"

"That moment was really cool! It was so cool!"

Speaking of this, Elvin's eyes widened and showed a ferocious expression: "But this may be the biggest mistake I have made in my life."

His hands spread out: "Everything is gone."

"I fell from the high Yunding Heavenly Palace and became a mortal. I can no longer do whatever I want, and I still cannot accept this change."

"But I know, it is the only chance I will achieve greatness in my life..."

"If I stayed on Earth, I would definitely be addicted to the final fall. The reason why black holes are called black holes is because once they jump in, there is no way to get rid of it."

"But at this moment, staying on Earth Age, I feel endless regret, pain and troubles... I want women, food, luxury cars!"

"Do you know this contradiction?!"

Elvin paused, pointed to a painting behind him, and said enthusiastically: "I did it!"

“This is the real art!!”

After a while, his excited expression calmed down: "My death is a personal wish and has nothing to do with anyone. Let me stay here. I don't need to witness the new mother planet with my own eyes. Whether the mother planet is good or bad, let it stay in my imagination."

"…If possible, please sow my ashes on the land of Europa, thank you all."

"Send this painting back to Earth, auction it out, and donate all the auction amount to the Deep Space Foundation."

"It is the best and most outstanding work in my life!"

"There is a second painting for my friend, Mr. Zhang Yuan. I don't understand science, I just hope you can become the most dazzling starlight in the night sky."

The first oil painting, the fiery red sky, the blue-gray grassland, and a lonely figure looking up at the stars.

Countless stars, including the sun directly above, are shining in the air.

The seemingly ordinary paintings make people feel very annoyed, regretful and powerless, just like the depression and contradictions before Erwin committed suicide.

Because the endless light in the sky still cannot illuminate large areas of darkness, including the dark figure.

That helpless feeling goes straight to the human heart, as if it can tear the heart apart.

This feeling is very subtle. Even people like Zhang Yuan who do not understand art can feel the provocation of the soul in painting.

It was a kind of despair, struggle and unwillingness to reality.

A kind of angry, unpalatable cry of desire.

The new parent star is not the real parent star, but no matter what, it is impossible to go back to the past.

Once a choice is made, it will be impossible to go back.

This is not only his personal mood, but also represents the entire Earth Age.

Zhang Yuan sighed long.

Yes, I can't go back.

Starting today, human civilization may have an additional painter comparable to Van Gogh.

Erwin is very cowardly, but he is not a coward.

The last masterpiece in life is breathtaking, but also amazing.

The next second painting is pure black, with the only highlight appearing in the upper left corner.

What is unique is that this light is composed of countless dense small highlights. The inspiration for this painting comes from a conversation with Erwin at that time.

Zhang Yuan finally knew why Elvin gave it to himself.

He stood there and observed a few minutes of silence.

"This matter can only be claimed to be an accident for the time being, otherwise it will cause more instability..." Captain Ma whispered: "Stay those who should stay, leave if they should leave, and wait until everyone makes up their minds to hibernate, then make this matter public."

"As for this painting, according to Elvin's will, I will give it to you, and 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 the painting to his residence.

I kept looking at it and was stunned for a long time.

Elvin died just like that and had chatted with him a few days ago.

I still feel a little relieved.

He suddenly found a line of small characters on the back of the painting.

“Starry Night, 2265.9.11, Elvin.”

Zhang Yuan raised his head and turned off the light.

There was no trace of light in the room, and the little white light in the painting seemed to be lit up in my heart.

Emotion suddenly burst out at this moment. Zhang Yuan rubbed his eyes, not crying, but a farewell to his friend.
