Chapter 2: Weird Time

Although thinking so in his head, Xiao He's heart was still fluttered by this sudden WeChat.

His heart was beating fast, as if he was telling himself: You are nervous.

Subconsciously glanced at the time, it is now 3:30 in city B time, according to the usual time, the sky will be dark in about two and a half hours.

Xiao He inevitably thought of the inexplicable message on WeChat before: Beware of the dark night.

It was like a joke, but it was inexplicably deep in Xiao He's head.

Reason told Xiao He that this was just a joke, but his intuition still kept it in his mind deeply, which made his heart even more uneasy.

After all, after he woke up, everything seemed abnormal, and maybe sometimes rational choices would be wrong.

So Xiao He decided to go out and have a look, and then come back before dark.

……

Going out and looking is not an option on a whim.

If the intuition is correct and the WeChat words are true, then Xiao He's best choice now is to stay at home.

Only two and a half hours, according to Xiao He's familiarity with this place, once he leaves here, it may become much more difficult when he returns.

Wechat mentioned before that you should be careful of the dark night, but it also said that it is not safe at dusk.Generally speaking, the definition of twilight is very vague in a broad sense. Xiao He is not sure what kind of twilight the WeChat twilight is, so the safest thing is to stay at home and wait for tomorrow morning.

But Xiao He couldn't wait.

From the moment he came out, he discovered his biggest problem at present-no food.

The rotting and spoiled potato chips on the table indicate that there has been no one here for at least a month. The refrigerator is the latest model, which is very large, but there is obviously no sign of it being opened, and it is not even powered on.

Xiao He is very hungry now, and there is a baby in it, even if he can not eat it himself, the baby will have to eat it.

Going out is the best option now, and if you are lucky, two and a half hours is enough to do a lot of things.

……

After changing his shoes and smoothing his hair with his hands, Xiao He pushed open the door of the room.

When I was inside just now, I thought the decoration here was not good, it was dilapidated like a dilapidated building, but after I came out, Xiao He discovered that this place is actually a very prosperous area.

Xiao He's house is on the third floor, there is no opposite door, the stairs are directly facing the direction of the door, you can go down to the bottom of the building.

When you get to the bottom, you can see that this building is actually a very beautiful three-story building after a closer look.The location is very good, because it is at the gate of the community, so the decoration is very beautiful, from the outside, it is impossible to think that there will be a resident's home inside, which is like a dilapidated house.

After Xiao He glanced at it, he turned and walked towards the gate of the community.

Time was running out, and he had no time to waste.

……

The environment here is strange to Xiao He as expected, but luckily there is a not-so-small supermarket nearby, next to the community, which sells many daily necessities.

Xiao He didn't have much time, so he moved very quickly, and only carried more than [-] large bags of instant noodles and seven or eight bags of milk powder.But it is a pity that it may be because of the holiday, so there are many people, and there are not many people in front of him.Even if Xiao He was a little impatient, he had no choice but to stay where he was and wait.

"Ding ding ding-"

The mobile phone in his pocket rang suddenly, and the constant vibration made Xiao He startled.

The only time the phone responded was that inexplicable WeChat message, now it rang again, what could it be?

Xiao He looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him, then took out his mobile phone to check the call.

The number is very strange, only six digits, not like a normal phone, the caller ID is "A002".

Xiao He hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Where are you."

On the opposite side is a very calm male voice, with an electrified magnetism, which sounds very comfortable.

Xiao He thought for a while: "Supermarket."

He couldn't remember the name of the supermarket, but it was a supermarket anyway.

"go back!"

The breathing on the other side seemed to be stagnant for a moment, and it sounded a bit harsh.

Like a bad student caught by the dean, Xiao He was a little nervous when he heard this voice.

But he quickly stabilized the nervousness: "I'm sorry sir, I don't know what you mean. In fact, I don't even know who you are. Is it not good for you to ask me to go back so rashly?"

"not too good?"

The person on the other side seemed to be smiling, but there was a hint of anger in his voice: "Do you know what time it is? Do you need me to tell you the time? It's 05:30 in City B!"

05:30! ?

Xiao He was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly said "Fuck" in his heart.

05:30, isn't it dusk that is about to fall into the night?

But he clearly remembered that it was only less than 10 minutes since he came out.

Subconsciously put the phone away from his ear, Xiao He looked down, 05:30, yes, he was not lied to on the phone.

Xiao He became a little nervous.

If he didn't know the exact time now, he might not be so nervous, but now he knows, and it's even quite clear.

Dusk in City B is short-lived, it only takes a short while to pass, and then enter the night.

Xiao He didn't know what would happen at night, but he knew very well that according to the current situation, he might not be able to return to the hut before six o'clock in time.

There were five people in front of him, each carrying a large package.

"Listen, I don't care where you are now, go home quickly." The voice on the other side was faster: "Go!"

Xiao He also wanted to leave immediately, but he couldn't.

There are too many people in the supermarket and it is very crowded.To put it bluntly, it is like sardines in a jar. When it is full, it can almost overflow.Xiao He even had reason to suspect that he could walk on a flat road by stepping on human heads.

This is the state that is being said.

Xiao He just put down the goods in his hand now, he has to wait for the people in front to leave before he can leave smoothly.

I don't know why so many people came out all of a sudden.

Xiao He frowned, feeling a little nervous: "I want to too, but I can't go out, there are too many people here, and..." He paused a little: "Who the hell are you?"

Xiao He failed to get an answer, and the other party was so quiet that it was ridiculous.

Take down the phone and take a look: oh, the other side hung up.

I was caught off guard, didn't even give any useful information, and didn't say who I was. I said a lot of words and then hung up, just as inexplicably as when I called.

Xiao He was a little curious for some reason, he clicked on the call log, and sure enough, it was the same as the previous WeChat message, there was no trace at all.

Looking up, it's only 10 minutes to six o'clock.

Time passed so fast, if it wasn't something wrong with Xiao He's cell phone, then maybe there was something wrong with his eyes.

But he doesn't want to worry about it now, the problem is that it's almost six o'clock, and it's almost night.

The heartbeat was a little fast, and the voice that had stopped in his head was clamoring again, as if warning.

In the rapid passage of time, the person in front of Xiao He finally got the receipt, gave the money and left.

Xiao He quickly piled the things in the cart onto the table: "Could you please hurry up? I'm in a hurry."

The waiter was a dejected young man, he didn't move faster when he heard this sentence, but was a little impatient: "What's the hurry, I'll take care of you if you're in a hurry?"

Xiao He frowned, he was a little dissatisfied with this person's attitude, but he didn't open his mouth to refute.

It's a solid theory that if you're really in a hurry, don't argue with people over small things.

Xiao He was sure that if he said something more, the young man might move more slowly, which would not be good for him.

So Xiao He resolutely shut up and waited for the young man to scan and bag him.

This time was not short or long, Xiao He's attention was simply put on the scanning machine.

It was a very old machine, and the white keyboard had turned into an ugly yellow, just like the appearance of this supermarket, and it looked like it had been around for a long time.

But what attracted Xiao He was not its year, but the time displayed on the machine's display.

— 5:50:20 p.m.

Ok?

Xiao He was a little puzzled, he didn't seem to understand what was going on, and then saw that 20 jumped to 21, followed by 22.

It's a very normal change, but when combined with the display on Xiao He's phone before, it's a bit abnormal.

Xiao He can assure you that he did not spend more than 3 minutes on the phone before, but in fact the time elapsed was 10 minutes.

Xiao He lowered his head and turned on the phone. The time was correct, and it was 5:50 pm, the same as the one on the monitor.

Xiao He waited patiently for a while, and then saw that the time on the phone and the display jumped to 5:51 pm.

——The mobile phone time is normal, there is no problem.

Unless the machine has the same problem as his mobile phone on this day, and the smoking range is the same, otherwise these machines are normal.

But the previous time change was really different, and it was obvious that this time change had always been weird, and it didn't return to normal until he made the payment just now.

Thinking of the time change just now, Xiao He suddenly had a ridiculous idea in his heart.

In order to test this idea, he took a step back and left the counter where instant noodles and milk powder were placed.Then Xiao He was horrified to find that the time displayed on the phone suddenly accelerated, jumping directly to 5:55 pm.

One step forward, the time remains the same, it is fixed at 5:56 pm.
