Tiandi Baiju

In December, the cold current from the Siberian Plain swept across the entire North China. The cold air came from the east aggressively, crashed into the Greater Khingan Mountains, and traveled southward along the huge towering ridges.The cold giant swept across the Inner Mongolia plateau, carried snowflakes and ice crystals across the Great Wall, stopped outside the largest city in northern China, and breathed a breath into the human world.

In an instant, the overwhelming ice and snow elves flew into the city, and overnight, the whole city was paved with jade.

Leyao is not quite used to the winter in Wan City. Wan City is at the same latitude as Tokyo, but it is much colder in winter.

He was wearing a thick sweater and gloves, holding a cup of coffee uneasily, sweating in the heat of the cafe, a little uncomfortable.

"You can say it," Le Yao whispered, "There is no one else here."

Su Pu looked around, as if to confirm whether someone was listening.Le Yao's classmate Zhang Yalun was far away from them, doing exercises in another corner of the coffee shop.

Other than that, it was just the two of them around.

Le Yao was very uncomfortable being looked at by Su Pu. From the moment he appeared, Le Yao had a premonition, as if something was wrong.No, maybe from the day Du Jing appeared, this weird feeling has always existed.

For several days, Su Pu has been watching him from outside the fence of the rehabilitation field. This man is very patient. After being asked away by security several times, he still found a chance.

"I want to talk to you, my name is Su Pu," the man said, "about your parents, about the car accident."

Le Yao was silent for a moment, did not refuse him, made an appointment, and asked Zhang Yalun to take him out and give him a chance to talk with Su Pu alone.

"I know you don't want to think about the past," Su Pu said, "but this matter is very important to you, and even to your entire family."

"Why don't you go to my brother?" Le Yao frowned, "He is the head of our family."

"I've looked for it," Su Pu sighed, and said calmly, "Because Du Jing was by his side, he rejected me. I want to ask you a question first. In the process of growing up, have you ever felt Is there anything... different from ordinary people?"

Le Yao replied, "I don't understand what you mean by that."

"For example," Su Pu brushed his hair gracefully, exuding the smell of perfume, "at a certain moment, I found that I have the ability to see the short future? Or, for no reason, the time is missing a day, even several What about the sky?"

Le Yao didn't speak, but frowned deeply, staring at Su Pu.

"What does this have to do with the death of my parents?" Le Yao replied.

Neither Leyao nor Supu's native language is Chinese, so it was a bit difficult for them to communicate, and they could barely understand each other's meaning.

"Let you read this first," Su Pu said, "This is our confidential file. After reading it, please keep it secret."

If it was someone else, Su Pu didn't quite believe how much a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child could keep a secret, but sitting across from her was Le Yao who lost her parents in a car accident. Mentally, they will be much more mature than their peers.

Su Pu handed the phone to Leyao and pressed play. It was a 23-minute video.

"Start from Haneda Airport," Su Pu whispered hurriedly, while looking at the surrounding environment, and double-checked, "We checked all the areas with cameras throughout the process. After the accident, there are only a few records. People have seen it, but not all of them..."

"I know." Le Yao's voice trembled, but it carried a natural majesty. He had seen some of the videos, which were captured by the camera on the speeding cars on the highway.

He and his mother had just returned from a vacation abroad that day, and his father came to pick him up in a car. There was a short quarrel between his parents in the car, but the quarrel didn't last long, and the two fell into a cold war.

Before that, Le Yao already had a premonition that his parents were going to divorce, but he didn't expect that this sudden disaster would bind them tightly together forever.

"Did you see him?" Su Pu whispered.

Le Yao fell into a long silence. In the video, a tall and thin man in a black suit and sunglasses arrived at the meeting point at the airport, looking down at his phone, as if he was sending a message to contact someone.

"It's him." Le Yao's voice trembled.

Su Pu nodded and said, "There is another accomplice renting a car for him, but the camera has never captured this person..."

Le Yao tremblingly said: "Why is this happening?"

After a long silence, Le Yao finished watching the video, staring at Su Pu with shock and fear.

"Why?" Le Yao asked blankly, with tears in his eyes, he said, "Why is this happening?"

Su Pu put away his mobile phone and said, "Because your father's family was once involved in an important case. Let's cut to the chase. I promise that I will not do anything to harm you, nor will I harm your brother, or anyone who is against you." Someone important to you..."

"...Answer me now," Su Pu said, "I read in the file that your family has the ability to manipulate time by using time-reversing particles. Is it true?"

Le Yao's eyes were red, with tears in her eyes, and she looked at Su Pu at a loss.

Su Pu didn't ask any further, Le Yao's reaction seemed to prove everything.

"When did it start?" Su Pu suppressed his excitement, his hand trembling slightly, and said, "Since how old were you, did it start to appear? Do you feel that your brother, Zhou Luoyang, also has this ability?"

"I don't know," Le Yao said suddenly, "I'm leaving, I can't tell you!"

Le Yao manipulated the wheelchair and tried hard to leave. In a panic, he knocked over the coffee. Zhang Yalun immediately looked up, then got up and walked towards them quickly.

Su Pu said, "Calm down, Miyaki! Calm down. I mean no harm!"

Su Pu called out Le Yao's Japanese name, Le Yao hesitated for a while, but Zhang Yalun came to the table and said angrily, "What are you going to do?"

Su Pu immediately let go of Le Yao's wheelchair, indicating that he had no malice.Le Yao was completely unable to concentrate at this time.

"Let's go." Zhang Aaron didn't ask about the passing.

"Wait!" Su Pu said, "This is very important to him, give us a little more time!"

Zhang Yalun looked at Le Yao, Le Yao's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he was panting.

"It's okay." Le Yao comforted, closed his eyes, and wiped away his tears.Su Pu said again: "Since when?"

Le Yao glanced at Zhang Yalun, nodded, and said, "Give us another 10 minutes."

"Okay." Zhang Yalun respected Le Yao's decision and said, "I'll be right there."

After a while, Le Yao asked, "Where did you find this file...?"

Su Pu replied: "I am Du Jing's former colleague, but when I joined the Pacific Rim organization, he had already left."

Le Yao didn't speak, but frowned tightly.

Su Pu added: "If it is confirmed that there is indeed a time reversal, your father may not die, will he?"

Le Yao suddenly raised his eyes to look at Su Pu, and was caught by what he said.

"I don't know," Le Yao said with fear, "I really don't know... I thought... it was just an illusion."

Su Pu had already made up his mind, and asked earnestly, "From the beginning, when and under what circumstances?"

Le Yao said: "I don't know...I..." Finally he made up his mind and said, "Just...more than a month ago, in October, in late October, my brother was not at home."

Su Pu got an answer that he never expected, and said in disbelief: "Did you discover it recently?"

Le Yao said: "It's not...it's not what you think. I didn't see the future, and I didn't... go back to the past. Or rather, I went back to the past. I was trapped in the same day several times, sometimes It's noon, sometimes midnight. And last Wednesday...the day before you came to me, I...experienced the same day four times, and every time I woke up in the middle of the night, I returned to the previous night at twelve o'clock in the evening."

Su Pu: "..."

The cold wind howled, and on the long street outside the embassy, ​​all the leaves of the sycamore trees had fallen and were swept away, leaving two rows of bare trees.

Wearing a windbreaker, Zhou Luoyang was shivering in the shop, heating a small stove. The heating in the shop hadn't been overhauled, and the indoor temperature was about the same as an ice cave.After returning to Wan City, he first reported the loss of his phone card, and immediately sent a text message to Le Yao.Fortunately, Leyao was not surprised. After careful calculation, from the time he started chasing KCR's target until he left the secret room, it took less than a week for him to lose his phone.

Zhou Luoyang only told him that his mobile phone was stolen overseas, and Le Yao didn't ask any further questions.

Fortunately, the watch that Swatanlovski handed over to him is still there. It was placed on the off-road vehicle with the luggage at that time, and he did not take it with him on the helicopter.

After Zhou Luoyang took it out, his fingers were so cold that he didn't dare to dismantle it at this time.Du Jing has reported back to the company, and he can get a reward for missing persons, 1000 million after deducting the company's commission and tax, there is still a lot to subsidize his life.

Sotheby's bought his two watches for over 30 yuan each, adding up to [-] yuan, plus Du Jing's year-end bonus. At the end of this year, Zhou Luoyang can stop worrying and pay back the money, maybe during the winter vacation. I can take Le Yao out for a vacation.

When the bell on the door rang, Zhou Luoyang was in a good mood and said, "Welcome... Are you off work now?"

Du Jing opened the door and came in, wearing a windbreaker and a scarf, looking around: "Why is it so cold?"

"The heating will come on in a few days," Zhou Luoyang replied, "I just called to remind you, hurry up, I'm going to die of cold!"

Du Jing took off his shoes and sat down on the tea bed. Zhou Luoyang immediately put his hands into his arms.Du Jing was only wearing a thin sweater and a windbreaker outside, but his body temperature was much warmer than Zhou Luoyang's. Seeing this, he opened the windbreaker and motioned him to come over alone.

Zhou Luoyang looked Du Jing's whole body up and down: "Why are you so warm?"

Du Jing took out a Zippo kerosene heater from the inner pocket of the windbreaker and handed it over.

"Who gave it to you?" Zhou Luoyang took a look, and immediately became a little vigilant. He knew that Du Jing hardly took anything from others, and he rarely bought things for himself.

"It was given to me by a pretty boy," Du Jing said lightly. "Maybe a newcomer who just joined the job fell in love with me at first sight?"

Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing suspiciously and said, "Impossible."

Du Jing had no choice but to change his words: "Boss gave it, task reward."

Zhou Luoyang said, "Is it really a gift from the newcomer?"

Du Jing said helplessly: "No, do you want to come to check the post?"

Zhou Luoyang said: "Check post? Of course I wish you well, what name can I use to check post?"

Du Jing asked back, "What do you think?"

Zhou Luoyang stopped talking, and looked at it over and over with the bosom stove.

Du Jing looked indifferent, looked at the Eye of Vercetti on the case, and put his wrist on it for comparison.

"Is there anything else?" Du Jing said.

"These are the only two left in the world," Zhou Luoyang said, "Weigh carefully, there is a slight difference in weight. Where is the money? How much bonus did you get?"

"I don't know," Du Jing replied, "I didn't ask. The boss said that they will be sent together at the end of the year, and it should arrive in the account within two days. How is the business?"

"I haven't been to the store for more than a month," Zhou Luoyang asked back, "What do you think?"

Du Jing: "This is not good. It seems that the store is going to collapse."

"Yeah," Zhou Luoyang said helplessly, "I don't know why I'm running around here and there, I don't even care about the store." The implication was naturally to mock Du Jing, if it wasn't for you, who would throw it away? Don't care about the store?

Then, Du Jing's next sentence made Zhou Luoyang extremely angry.

"Isn't it for the money? Anyway, this store can't sell things even if it's open." Du Jing said, "When the year-end bonus is in hand, take Le Yao out for a trip?"

"No!" Zhou Luoyang wailed, "I still have to pay back the money!"

Near the end of the year, Wanshi has also become lazy, especially since no one goes to work in this living area at three o'clock in the afternoon.However, Zhou Luoyang's store has only sold two watches until now, and they still went to the auction house.

Zhou Luoyang originally wanted to pick up Le Yao earlier, but he unexpectedly came here for business today.

"The boss is finally here?" The businessman introduced by the Antique Association came to the door. He took out the business card of the chairman of the association and handed it over, and then introduced himself as the vice president of a financial company. The guys in the management shop said that the boss didn’t come back.”

Zhou Luoyang hurriedly asked someone to sit down, and the person took out two antiques and said, "Can you store them in the store and sell them?"

A string of tourmaline beads and a small clock.Zhou Luoyang said happily: "There is a handling fee for consignment, what is your psychological price?"

Usually someone will use the antique shop for consignment, to give or accept bribes through consignment, such as putting fakes or ordinary collections in the official's home in the store, marking a sky-high price, and letting the briber buy it a month later. It naturally went into my pocket.

The vice president said the number, Zhou Luoyang took out the spectroscope, first looked at the tourmaline hanging beads, and then checked the details of the clock. Based on the price, he judged that it was not for money laundering, and said, "Give me the lowest price that is psychologically acceptable."

Consignment usually has a guaranteed price. Below this price, only a small handling fee is charged. If it exceeds the range, more commissions can be received.After the two sides negotiated, the vice president took out another Patek Philippe with a broken surface and said, "Can you repair it?"

"Yes." Zhou Luoyang knew that the watch was old, so it was not impossible to send it back to the factory, but usually after the maintenance period, the price of returning to the factory would be very expensive once the parts were replaced, and the waiting time would be longer.

"Do you think this is a business?" Zhou Luoyang said to Du Jing.

Du Jing said: "The economic environment is not good, and they are all sold out."

"Yeah," Zhou Luoyang locked the door, asked Du Jing to put down the iron gate, and said with a smile, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how I would live, let alone pay back the money."

Du Jing hooked his finger on the car key, and replied casually: "I just want to live well, and you don't have to worry about money in this lifetime, but you don't know how long this disease can last."

"Don't say that." Zhou Luoyang sat in the co-driver's seat, suddenly a little sad, glanced at Du Jing, and said, "Why, it's time to change again? Let me drive."

"No." Du Jing replied casually, "It's just that recently, I always feel that something is wrong, and I can't tell the reason."

Ever since he came back from Cambodia, Zhou Luoyang could clearly feel that Du Jing didn't want to go to work in the company anymore. After all, this business is really a trade for money. If it weren't for the eyes of Versailles, they might... say they were already dead. Not at all, injury is inevitable, and perhaps none of the people who need to be rescued can be rescued.

If time cannot be turned back, they will have to face endless troubles from the day Yu Jianqiang fell off the building.But Zhou Luoyang sometimes wondered, if Yu Jianqiang really died that day and everything hadn't been reset, would they still find Wu Xingping?Maybe somewhere, the incident will run in another direction?The blackmailer who was supposed to die for Yu Jianqiang was able to get away, but he might still leave Wu Xingping behind.

After Du Jing was interrogated by the police, he was naturally released without charge, because it had nothing to do with him. They might still go after Wu Xingping, and the result was hard to say.

Zhou Luoyang always wants to review everything when nothing happens. If there is no time travel back in the escape room in Cambodia, who will survive in the end?Maybe I and Du Jing are fine, plus Lu Zhongyu.

But in one level of the secret room, that is, in front of Shiva, Xiao Wu was indeed dead, but in the 24 hours of restarting, Xiao Wu survived. According to the previous logic, no one died for him?Will this role be Ruan Song?He remembered that Lu Zhongyu said that Ruan Song would be sentenced to death, but it should be some time later.

"No." Zhou Luoyang said.

"What's wrong?" Du Jing asked.

Zhou Luoyang said: "Xiao Wu is still alive, according to the previous rules, among the seven of us..."

"It's not like playing the god of death," Du Jing said, "You think it's unreasonable for someone to escape death?"

Zhou Luoyang: "Not all of them, it's just that this always makes me feel..."

"You forgot Honghou," Du Jing said, "the last RPG sent him to the west."

"Ah!" Zhou Luoyang remembered, and it made sense.

"Let's stop using this watch," Zhou Luoyang said.

Du Jing didn't speak, he pressed the steering wheel with one hand, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the steering wheel, the car stopped at the gate of Leyao school, and Leyao was warming up the fire in the security room, chatting with the school security guard.

"Leyao!" Zhou Luoyang smiled and stepped forward.

"You're finally back!" Le Yao's expression was a little aggrieved.

Zhou Luoyang went up to hug his younger brother who was sitting in a wheelchair. Le Yao looked over Zhou Luoyang's shoulder and glanced at Du Jing. His expression was so complicated that Du Jing caught it in his eyes for an instant.

Du Jing stood aside, frowning slightly, looking at Le Yao's expression, the two looked at each other without speaking.

"Long time no see." Le Yao said to Du Jing.

Du Jing replied, "Long time no see."

"Is everything going well?" Le Yao asked again.

Du Jing hummed, seeing that Zhou Luoyang wanted to hug him, he said, "I'll do it."

Le Yao said, "I can do it myself."

Le Yao got into the car, Du Jing put the wheelchair in the trunk, and said to Zhou Luoyang, "You sit in the back and accompany him."

Reunited with his younger brother, Zhou Luoyang was in a good mood. He hoped that Du Jing would not have such a thrilling case until the Lunar New Year. He decided to find a time to have a good talk with Du Jing and talk about their future.From the moment he left the temple, Zhou Luoyang had this idea.
