The world is unstable

Chapter 1 Insomnia
"Bahla——" a burst of flames from the bottom of a cigarette ignited the tip, and the shreds of tobacco gradually turned red, and intertwined chaos swept his brain.

It is three o'clock in the morning, but Wenzhou is not lying on his bed. He lives alone on the balcony railing on the third floor. It is already October in City X, and the single-digit temperature makes the railing look extraordinarily cold. Perhaps The thin black long sleeves can isolate the feeling on the arm.

Insomnia, I don’t know how many nights, Wenzhou, who has to rely on Valium to fall asleep every day, has already taken a month’s dose of the medicine more than ten days ago. The doctor decided to stop the medicine for him because the dose was too high.

"I can't sleep. Tomorrow is the [-]st. The doctor should prescribe me some medicine."
The thin cheeks showed an abnormal dark color, and the dark eyelids were dark and haggard, making this 19-year-old boy exude an undue dullness. Only the occasional blinking of his eyes showed his presence.

Wenzhou used to be a lively and humorous person, if it wasn't for his insomnia, Wenzhou would never have been in the sluggish state he is now.

The only thing is, seeing the strange colored pixels occasionally flashing from the cigarette in his hand, and the large black spot on his right arm, Wenzhou is no longer surprised.

Since last month, Wenzhou has noticed some changes in the world around him:
Sometimes the grass on the side of the road may suddenly disappear in the next second and then pop out suddenly, and the electric pole next to it can suddenly lie in the middle of the road in a blink of an eye, and then change back.

Even sometimes, the noise of pedestrians on the street turns into intermittent stuttering conversations in Wenzhou's ears.

To Wenzhou, the whole world is like a game that keeps getting stuck and dropping frames.

Of course, Wenzhou must have been taken aback when he saw this phenomenon for the first time.

However, it was later discovered that this phenomenon was becoming more and more frequent, and it would appear once a day or two, so he thought it was just a hallucination caused by insomnia.

"Go to the store tomorrow morning, just close your eyes for a while",
Wenzhou stubbed out the cigarette butt between the fingers of his right hand, turned around and crossed the threshold of the balcony towards the bed. The cloud of colorful pixel smoke that bounced back, still twitching and changing, fell in a random arc on the lawn downstairs. .

Kicking off the slippers, he flung himself on the bed with a bang.
Wenzhou had a strange dream today, you know how rare it is for him to dream.

He slept soundly, and in his dream there was a person whose face could not be seen clearly.

Wenzhou vaguely saw the man's lips move slightly, as if he said something. The voice was very special, but he could only hear a few words, as if it was something like "the world in the gap will save... you will encounter" or something...

"Strange dream", laughed at himself, and Wenzhou got up.It's already 6 o'clock, and we have to be ready for business in 20 minutes.

After washing, he hurried downstairs, kicked up his small bicycle, and drove to the shop.The name of the breakfast shop is 'Wenzhou Breakfast'.

It was supposed to be a location with excellent business, but the boss was sluggish all day long, so customers were naturally reluctant to come, but except today.

Because of the good dream, I seem to be quite energetic today, "It's not easy to leave the stall that my parents gave me.",
Open the store's lock, "Creak~", walk to the stove, skillfully light up the natural gas stove, turn to the chopping board, pick up the dough prepared in the refrigerator, and start making fried dough sticks.

The moment it was put into the oil pan, there was a sizzling sound of tar, and the white face turned to golden yellow, and then it was taken out, one after another.

The fried dough sticks that have not fully controlled the oil are slightly dazzling. If you break them apart, the unique aroma inside will immediately linger and rush into the nasal cavity.

But even with such a delicacy, there were no more than twenty people coming and going, but Wenzhou didn't care at all.

Parents who were in business in the early years accumulated a lot of savings, and there was only one breakfast restaurant left as Wenzhou's occasional job, which seemed leisurely.

After tidying up in a hurry, Wenzhou rode his bicycle to the pharmacy. It was only seven o'clock in the morning, and there were not many idlers on the road except for pedestrians going to work and school.

Arriving at the pharmacy, when he was about to enter the store, Wenzhou was stopped by a voice, "Did you sleep soundly last night?" It was a little special, but most importantly, it seemed to be the voice of someone in a dream last night?
Wenzhou turned his head abruptly, the man was the same as in the dream, with black clothes and black hat, his face could not be seen clearly, and he said the same words again: "We will meet, won't we?"

"Weird and weird", cursed in a low voice, Wenzhou thought he had misremembered, "How could the dream be real, it's just a coincidence."

He let out a sigh of relief, ignored the man, and entered the pharmacy. The man was not in a hurry, with his hands on his chest, just quietly waiting for Wenzhou to come out.

After prescribing the medicine, Wenzhou walked out of the pharmacy quickly without looking back at the man in black. When he got on his bicycle and was about to go home, the man's voice came again: "Believe it or not, some strange things will happen soon .”

Wenzhou was a little annoyed by this inexplicable person, "Why are you..." He turned around and was about to scold that person, but there was nothing at the door of the pharmacy, and a gust of wind blew in, making his forehead a little terrified.

Only a "bang" was heard, and a terrible cracking sound came from behind!

Wenzhou seemed to have noticed something, and turned his head mechanically. He saw that there was no one in front of him, only a puff of smoke and dust, and a fault several meters high protruded from the intersection in front of him!
"Fuck, what is this?!", swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Wenzhou found that the crack was spreading towards him, which was okay.

Wenzhou quickly got on the bike and rode home at a high speed. There was no one in sight along the way. Wenzhou was so frightened that the bicycle became faster and faster. After a while, the sound of sudden braking sounded in front of Wenzhou's house.

After stopping the car, Wenzhou closed his eyes and took a breath, sitting on the car seat with his back straight. The sun was getting hotter, but Wenzhou felt only nervousness and uneasiness.

"It must have been a hallucination just now. Where did the man in black come from? Where did the intersection come from? It must be caused by insomnia. Why is it getting worse and worse? No, I have to be hospitalized."

Wenzhou shook his head and said to himself with a reluctant smile. "

While comforting himself, he slowly opened his eyes, and when he looked back, his field of vision gradually became clear:
On both sides of the road I rode just now, the buildings had collapsed, and the cracking speed of the road was getting faster and faster. At the cracked place, a burst of fiery red liquid was clearly gushing out, like, magma! .

Wenzhou was stunned and murmured: "I can't run away." Seeing that the crack had spread to his vicinity, Wenzhou reacted, but it was already too late.

The ground under his feet had already cracked, and he was about to fall into the crack, Wenzhou shouted in horror: "No!"
