After a brief tidying up, the light gray canvas backpack contained a few pieces of clothing, two manuscripts, and a pen. He didn't intend to take anything else away. He picked up the bag and slung it over his shoulder, and he took one last look at this little

room, and there was no nostalgia in my heart.

After all, this is a mental hospital

The head nurse at the door looked at the handsome boy who was slightly dazed in front of her. She felt a little regretful but also a little happy. She said softly: "Simon, do you want to say goodbye to everyone?"

His name is now Simon, Simon Westeros.

The name hasn't changed.

But my last name was changed a month ago.

Because I don’t really like the original surname of this body, I am also looking forward to a new beginning.

I happened to be watching "Game of Thrones" during the time before my rebirth. The turmoil in Westeros was fascinating, and I had such a fantastic experience, so I chose "Westeros" on a whim.

New surname.

From now on, the novel version of "Game of Thrones" will not be released until ten years later in 1996. As for how old Martin will name his new continent in the future, that is not his concern.

After hearing what the head nurse said, Simon came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's better not to use it."

The two left the ward and came to the office of Dr. Henry Chapman. Dr. Chapman was Simon's attending physician and a nice middle-aged man. There was also a middle-aged white man wearing glasses in the office who introduced himself as John.

, from Stanford University, who came to assist Simon with the discharge procedures.

Simon was admitted to this mental hospital nine months ago.

This incident caused a small sensation at the time.

The inspirational boy who grew up in a children's welfare home was admitted to Stanford University at the age of seventeen and received a full scholarship. Then, less than two months after enrolling, he suddenly went crazy.

Severe violent schizophrenia.

This was the diagnosis Dr. Chapman filled in Simon's medical record.

The fact is, there are twelve souls suddenly appeared in a young body, how could he not go crazy?

In the fragmented memory picture, a young man with conflicting consciousness frantically destroyed an entire reading room in the Stanford University library and injured several people. Finally, he was tied up and sent to this mental hospital in the southern suburbs of San Francisco.

Continue to trace forward.

Now he is actually a director from the other side of the ocean. He has just completed his first movie in his life, which has done well at the box office. The company plans to negotiate a cooperation with Universal Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood film companies. In order to win over him, the boss

So he was included in the negotiation team heading to Los Angeles, which was regarded as a trip at public expense.

The prosperity of the mainland film market has attracted the whole of Hollywood, and the business has naturally been very successful.

After reaching the cooperation, Universal Pictures executives invited the company team to attend a media industry gathering in Sun Valley, Idaho. They were accompanied by many other Hollywood film practitioners. More than 20 people took off from Los Angeles on a Boeing 737.

However, less than half an hour after takeoff, the Boeing 737's engine malfunctioned and it crashed during the transfer to San Francisco Airport for an emergency landing.

He regained consciousness. Although he was still in the San Francisco County area, he had returned to 1985, and seemed to be bound to a young body together with many other consciousnesses. What followed was a long nine months in a mental hospital.

.

I don't know how I gained control of this body.

Or, because he was the only 'foreigner' in those minds. Before the crash, he happened to leave the luxurious front cabin where Universal's senior executives and company teams were, and went to the back cabin of the plane to discuss film production issues with a group of Hollywood colleagues.

Or maybe it was because he was unwilling to give in. During the long nine months, he could feel the strong unwillingness of the original boy. He grew up with such difficulty and did not expect that he would fall into decline just as his life was about to start. He was also unwilling to do so.

After wasting so many years, I finally started to get ahead, and everything came to nothing in the blink of an eye.

In any case, he eventually became the master of this body, and the other dozen or so consciousnesses fell into deep silence.

However, although their consciousness was lost, the memories of those people remained.

Although those memories were all in pieces, he also realized that just these remaining memory fragments were a huge wealth to him.

You know, the people in the back cabin of the plane at that time were all elites in the Hollywood film industry, top screenwriters, photographers, editors, soundtrack engineers, etc. These people were actually the crew members of a box-office blockbuster owned by Universal Pictures.

, the director and starring actors of the film crew were also on the plane, but they were only invited to the front cabin. I don’t know if they survived.

After completing the discharge procedures, Simon said goodbye to Dr. Chapman and others, and then got into John's car with his simple luggage.

It was obvious that John didn't like today's errand. He sent Simon outside the bus station in nearby Watsonville. After completing the last obligation of Stanford University, he drove away in a hurry.

More than a month before he was discharged from hospital, Dr. Chapman talked to Simon many times and asked him about his future plans.

Of course, it is possible to return to Stanford. Simon's major is still the most popular computer science at Stanford. Coming from more than 30 years later, he knows very well how many amazing wealth miracles students from Stanford's computer department will create in the coming Internet wave.

.

However, Simon chose to drop out of school without much hesitation.

He is a director to begin with, and he has the memories of more than a dozen Hollywood elites in his mind. It can be said that he is now a top film crew by himself. With so many resources, there is no reason not to go to Hollywood and try his luck.

As for the future Internet wave, it is not Simon's character to watch opportunities everywhere slip away from his eyes. If he can stand out, he can naturally participate in the wealth feast brought about by this technological change as an investor.

.

Of course, at this moment, standing outside the bus station near California Highway 1 in the small town of Watsonville, Simon knew that he was destined to have a long way to go.

He is just a penniless poor boy now, and he is somewhat grateful that his personal situation allows him to enjoy free federal medical insurance. Otherwise, for nine months of treatment, Simon will definitely have to bear a sky-high price that will make him doubt his life.

Medical bills.

In the United States, it would be an absolute disaster for ordinary people to see a doctor without medical insurance.

After buying a long-distance bus ticket to Los Angeles, Simon checked his wallet while waiting for the bus. He still had $198 left, which was the money he earned from his summer job before enrolling last year.

Some time ago, I spent more than two hundred dollars in the process of changing my name, mainly by publishing a name change announcement in a small newspaper in Watsonville. This is a necessary procedure for Americans to change their name, and then they also re-apply for a driver's license.

Cost. The American driver's license is equivalent to an ID card, and it is very cheap to take the test, only a few dozen dollars. Therefore, although he could not afford a car, Simon got his driver's license at the age of sixteen.

According to the price information in my mind, I can probably last for a week with the remaining money in my hand to cover basic food and accommodation.

This is enough.

It was easy to find a job that could make a living in Los Angeles within a week. The former owner of this body had been doing various odd jobs since he was thirteen years old, and his relevant skills were absolutely perfect.

Thinking of this, Simon even felt a touch of sadness. Although the memory was not complete, he could appreciate the awe-inspiring tenacity of the original child. The 'Simon' in his memory was sent to San Jose's Children's Hospital at the age of six.

In a children's welfare home, the little child was like a stubborn little beast. He stubbornly refused many adoption applications from foster families and began to be self-reliant at the age of thirteen.

Thinking like this, Simon couldn't help but look back at the memories before he was six years old, but there were only some more fragmented pictures, which could not be completely pieced together anyway.

Then.

Wake up from your scattered thoughts.

Simon was shocked to find tears falling down his face unconsciously.

Next to him, a mother and son who were also waiting for the bus were looking at him with strange eyes. The young mother even pulled her four or five-year-old son to stay away a little.

Wiping away the tears on his face in embarrassment, Simon realized that even though a certain doomed soul had completely lost its control over this body, it still stubbornly refused to recall certain experiences. It was so stubborn that even if it was completely lost,

Consciousness still stubbornly closes the door of the heart to prevent strangers from prying.

Then don't think about it.

Moreover, since I have obtained this body, I will definitely live this life in a way that shines brighter than anyone else, for sure.

Simon silently promised this to a certain soul in his heart.

The consciousness in the dark may have heard his voice, and Simon found that his mind gradually calmed down.

After waiting in front of the simple platform for about half an hour, a bus finally stopped on the side of the road. It was a passing bus coming from downtown San Francisco.

Simon turned aside to let the mother and son beside him get into the car first, and then followed.

The bus was almost full of passengers. Simon walked back along the aisle and finally found an empty seat in the second to last row. There was already a woman in a plaid shirt sitting inside the two seats. Her long brown hair covered most of her face.

, he was looking down at a thick manuscript bound on A4 paper, holding a pen in his hand.

After stuffing his backpack on the luggage rack, Simon sat down on the empty seat near the aisle.

Feeling movement around her, the woman raised her eyes and looked over, nodded politely to Simon, and then looked away again.

Simon nodded in the same way, but his expression was a little surprised. He knew the other person.

To be precise, Simon knew the woman in front of him, but it was obviously impossible for the other party to know him.

Kathryn Bigelow.
Chapter completed!
