Compared with the panic before the last crossing, Qingchen has calmed down a lot this time.

He's waiting for the world to break up and regroup, just like waiting for a dream to wake up.

In the cramped little bedroom, Qingchen is still sitting by the bed in the posture before crossing. It's night outside, but the bone picking knife he used to hold is still in his hand.

Everything seems to have never happened.

Qingchen frowned. He took out his cell phone in his pocket and took a look at the time.

September 28, 2022, 12:00:01.

Zero one seconds.

He clearly remembered that the date he crossed was September 28, and the exact time was 12:00:00.

In other words, he spent two days in that world, but only one second on earth.

Similarly, when I came back here, when I went back again, it was only a second?

This should be the rule for all the walkers.

I don't know why Qingchen is relieved to think of this. In this way, he doesn't have to find a way to explain why he often disappears for a period of time.

It's a very strange sense of alienation, as if the world you're in is no longer real.

Qingchen looked down at the arm, he just deliberately pinched out of the purple still.

The white lines on the other arm have changed. The countdown is 47:59:45

The countdown is 47:59:44

The countdown is 48 hours, that's two days. That's right.

Only these can prove to him that everything he has experienced is true.

He has really been to a mechanical civilization, and has really met a man named Li Shutong, who was tested by a man named Lin Xiaoxiao in his nightmare, and also met a licking dog named Lu Guangyi.

There is a steady Ye Wan and a strange big cat.

Just as Qingchen was thinking, his mobile phone rang, a strange landline number.

"Hello," Qingchen said.

"Hello, I'm from Wangcheng Road police station. Your father has been detained for gambling. Please come here," said a female voice across the phone.

Qingchen Leng for a while, calculate the time, his gambler father should have just been caught not long, did not expect to call the police station.

"Well, what am I going to do?" Qingchen asked.

"According to the law on public security management punishment, he needs to be detained and pay a fine. Please go through the formalities," said the little sister on duty at the police station.

"Sorry, I won't go. Please punish him severely. According to the law on punishment of public security administration, if the circumstances are serious, he will be detained for more than 10 days or less, and fined more than 500 yuan or less than 3000 yuan. Please give him a top punishment. Thank you, "Qingchen said, shaking his head.

The other side also Leng at this time: "you are not his son?"

Qing Chen replied: "I reported the case. I'm not his son. I'm Mr. Qing, a warm-hearted citizen."

Little sister on duty:

Qingchen didn't hesitate to hang up. His gambler father was detained for at least 10 days. That is to say, he didn't need to see each other before crossing next time.

I don't know why, Qingchen still feels a little happy and relaxed when she thinks about it.

But for a teenager, it's not a good feeling that his father is detained and scolded.

Most teenagers will take their father as an example when they are young. Once you find that your father's bad deeds are not dignified, a load-bearing wall in your heart will suddenly collapse.

Qingchen takes a deep breath and slowly lies on the bed. He turns on his mobile phone to read his call records and wechat, but he doesn't see his mother's message.

I don't know why. At one moment, he even wanted to go back to the prison ahead of time.

Even if it's an unknown and dangerous world.

It's more than one o'clock in the morning. Qingchen is sleepless.

In the dim room, only the mobile phone screen illuminated his cheek.

On the screen of his mobile phone is the canon score he just found, and every detail has been recorded in his mind.

It's a lifelong regret for Li Shutong, but it doesn't take much effort for Qingchen.

Maybe this is the difference between different worlds. The other side also has something that Qingchen dreams of.

But should I give the score to Li Shutong?

How can I explain the origin of this score.

There are risks in this matter. Although Qingchen is not afraid of taking risks, he is afraid that his risks are not worth it.

Therefore, before giving the score, he must make sure whether Li Shutong has such value!

In the end, he failed to wait for his mother's phone call and news.

……

The first day of the countdown, 7:30 a.m.

Qingchen put on his blue and white school uniform and went out to eat instant noodles while walking.

The Los Angeles foreign language school he attended was divided into three campuses a few years ago, and the high school department was only five minutes away from his home, just across a path to arrive.

On the way to the executive office, the breakfast stand filled with egg cakes wafts fragrance. Pedestrians will sit on the small stand and eat a bowl of hot bean curd or Hu chili soup.

The fried fried fried dough sticks are golden and crisp, and the tea eggs are smooth and clear after shelling.

But Qingchen has no money, and his few savings are in order to deal with the countdown, purchasing materials.

This made him think about toothache now, but he didn't regret it. After all, who knew what he was going to face at that time?

In class 3 of senior two, there are students on duty cleaning in the class. The smell of water in the classroom after mopping the floor hasn't gone away. I'm afraid the mop has been moldy for a long time.

Qingchen sits in the last row. At this time, he sees his deskmate Nan Geng Chen walking into the classroom in a hurry, with a nervous face.

"Yesterday, Mr. Du saw me playing truant. What did he say later?" Qingchen asked in a low voice.

As a result, nangengchen was absent-minded and didn't hear anything: "ah? What? "

"Nothing," Qingchen shook his head: "how can I see you so flustered?"

"Flustered?" Nangengchen was surprised: "no, I haven't

Qingchen doesn't speak. If the other party doesn't want to say something, there's no need to get to the bottom of it.

Each other quiet for a moment, nangengchen suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "Qingchen, if you encounter something particularly strange, what will you do?"

"Weird?" Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at nangengchen carefully. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "what exactly does it mean?"

"I don't know what it is, but it's very strange," Nan Geng Chen said.

"Then call the police?" Qingchen's eyes are tightly fixed on nangengchen.

But Nan Gengchen's eyes brightened: "yes, find the police! Qingchen, is there anyone in your family at the police station? "

"Yes," Qingchen thought about it and said, "my father was just arrested last night for gambling."
