When walking out of the underground parking lot, Yun Shen answered the phone.

"...It's okay, work is over." He said at the end of the call, "I'll take a break."

The elevator door opened, bright lights fell on the spotless floor, Yun Shen stopped in front of the door, stood for a moment, and opened the door.

The cold air and darkness rushed towards his face, Yun Shen turned on the light, changed his shoes, hung his coat behind the door, walked through the empty living room, and opened another door.

The heavy curtains recede to both sides along the sliding rails, the gray-blue sky unfolds above the skyscrapers, the golden-red clouds support the melting sunset, dispersed by the gray air, the slanting clouds are like a A nostalgic dream, reflecting Yun Shen's profile.He turned back from the floor-to-ceiling windows, turned around and came to the bed, looked at the photo frame on the bedside cabinet, and stared at the familiar face.Even though quite some time has passed, looking back on the past, the pain has not been reduced by half.

The hustle and bustle of the city came faintly through the glass, making this room even more quiet. It was often quiet here when his cohabitant was still alive, but that quietness was... completely different.Yun Shen stretched out his hand and gently put the photo frame on the table. At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became dark, and Yun Shen's feet were empty.

Is it an earthquake——

However, there was silence in his ears, and the sense of weightlessness still persisted after a while. He looked up blankly, then looked to the left and right.In this pure darkness, there is no up, down, left or right, as if there is no himself.

He could still feel his own fall, but his reason was trying to expel this illusion.Yun Shen reached into his pocket, took out the key chain, shook it by his ear, and heard the sound of metal clashing clearly, he used the tie in the briefcase to tie one end to the sturdy handle and the other end to his wrist, Lift up the leather bag, which is a little heavy because it contains notebooks and books, and throw it forward.

No tugging.

Yun Shen brought the bag back from the void along the tie, the silky smooth touch of the tie, the delicate leather on the surface of the bag, these feelings still seem real, just like he can still feel his own breathing, the flicking of the hem of his clothes, However……

This is death?

He looked at the darkness for a long time, maybe only for a short while. When those fine spots of light emerged from the darkness, Yun Shen opened his eyes wide in surprise, staring at them, looking at those star-like The light spots of various colors gradually elongated, like a rain of light without boundaries, gently and unstoppably falling towards him.The first ray of light, and then countless strands of light fell down, touched him, and then passed through him, weaving into a boundless curtain, moving and changing around him, like an aurora.

This is a scene that ordinary people can hardly see in their lifetime. Yun Shen's pupils reflect the beautiful light on the pure black background, and it is like falling into a dream for a while.

Apart from the dream, it is difficult to have other explanations for a while.

In such a dream scene, Yun Shen raised his wrist to his eyes, and in the "light", he saw that the hands of the watch had stopped, but he was still not sure whether it was his own consciousness that made it stop or something else happened. There seemed to be wind in his ears, but he closed his eyes.When he opened it again, he had already adjusted his posture. He still carried all the things he had when he got home, but his feet had already stepped on the ground. At least in terms of feeling, he "stopped".

Almost from the moment he "landed", the silk threads connecting the upper and lower lights began to flow backwards, they shrank upwards, left his body, receded from the space parallel to the line of sight, and finally turned into bright dots on the background, like a piece of In the vast and senseless night sky, the stars are as dense as the center of a galaxy, as if they are scorching and burning, and they are cold and ruthless.

Then a voice sounded.

“……侦测到游离态……紧急防护系统启动,打捞完成……处理系统切入,信号接入中……请等待倒计时……5、4、3、2、1……你好,时空管理局客服终端124——7230——2895已经接入,将在接下来的地球时30分钟内为您服务。”

Yun Shen waited quietly during this process, and repeated in a low voice: "Time and Space Administration?"

As if answering his call, an image appeared before his eyes.Different from the pleasant and cold female voice just now, a tall, handsome and extraordinary man came out of the darkness, with very short black hair, wearing a black uniform without any logo, only with silver decorations on the pinnae of his ears, he looked down at He said: "Hello. I will serve you in the next time."

Yun Shen looked at him, a little dazed.

He actually felt that this image had something he was familiar with, but at the same time he thought that what he saw should not be such an image... But he still responded instinctively: "Hello."

"Please let me give you a brief introduction," the other party said in a low voice, "The Space-Time Administration was established in 5777 in the Gregorian calendar. , maintaining the space-time order of each dimension, etc.”

"..." Yun Shen was dumbfounded, "What does this have to do with what happened to me today?"

"Before two Earth Standard Time, a rare plane black tide broke out in the jump space. The space passages in use and under construction were impacted to varying degrees, and part of the protection system was eroded, causing abnormal disturbances within a certain time and space. You because The erosion effect was also involved in this disaster accident."

"...Can I go back?"

"I'm very sorry," the customer service replied, his deep eyes covered Yun Shen, "You were completely exposed to the temporarily closed space-time passage in the past two earth standard time, and the aftermath of the Kuroshio just happened to sweep through. According to your current situation, it can be judged that it has caused irreparable impact on you—"

Yun Shen looked down at his hand, even though his eyesight was not very good, he could clearly see the shadow of the bones under the skin, this scene was a bit like an X-ray exposure, "——I will die?"

"No, the Kuroshio is not fatal. You just can't return to the original plane. If you forcefully return, the body washed by the Kuroshio will not be able to exist in its original form. At the same time, the probability wave you carry will affect the original plane. Influenced by the law, this is recognized as a first-degree crime in the relevant systems of the Space-Time Administration."

Even with the psychological construction, Yun Shen's feelings are still indescribable, "Is there any place I can go?"

"According to the relevant regulations, the Space-Time Administration is obliged to make the necessary physical adjustments for you on the premise of retaining your thinking system, and then provide you with relevant assistance in finding a suitable plane world for you to survive in, and deliver you safely." The customer service said.

Yun Shen thought for a moment, "Give up everything in the past at the same time?"

"Regarding this point, the Time and Space Management Bureau will provide you with a shadow that can temporarily replace your action on the original plane, and you can operate it to deal with the aftermath of the original plane. In addition, according to relevant regulations, you are a person with low-level ability to act. The world lacks the necessary guarantees for survival, and the Space-Time Management Bureau provides targeted insurance for victims like you, and you can make compensation claims within the scope of permission within 3."

Yun Shen raised his head, looked at the handsome and gentle customer service, "How much time do I have?"

"Earth time, 20 minutes."

Yun Shen stood there for a while, then sighed, "...then let's talk."

Their exchange on compensation didn't take much time. After the end, before the customer service left, Yun Shen looked at him and asked, "Can you please wait?"

The customer service stopped. He didn't show any movement to leave before, but after Yun Shen said this, there was something about him that made people feel that he really "stopped".

Yun Shen looked at his face quietly and intently. It was a flawless face. At least with Yun Shen's weak aesthetic ability, he only felt that the proportions of this face must be very close to the golden section. There is no doubt that the technological civilization behind the image he communicated with has developed to an unimaginable height, and his speculation is likely to be wrong, but——

"Sorry, I think... I think, I might have some feelings for you..." Yun Shen paused for a moment, "I always feel that you should be a real person. Have we met in the past or in the future?"

The customer service said: "No."

Yun Shen still looked at him, with confusion in his star-reflected eyes.

The customer service agent bowed slightly to him, his movements were graceful and full of strength, "The Space-Time Administration is deeply sorry for the troubles caused to you, and we will try our best to improve the aftermath. The future is still long, please take care."

The darkness engulfed the image of customer service, and Yun Shen watched him leave until all visible lines disappeared from sight.

Until the end, the customer service staff never took their eyes off him. Even though there was no expression on that handsome face, those eyes were filled with a moving emotion.

Just like Yun Shen saw something unspeakable from those eyes, the real existence behind the artificial intelligence image also saw the expression on Yun Shen's face that should not appear at this time.

Also the connection that should not have been cut off, "customer service" stepped from one darkness to another darkness, different from the void just now, the place he was in at this time was like the deepest shadow, where he couldn't see it, and it was like a place close to him. In the immediate vicinity, it seems that there are things that are greatly oppressing all living beings. From the moment the "customer service" arrives, the darkness immediately comes alive, that, or those beings "woke up", and swirled toward the customer service. gather.In the darkness that gradually became clear, "Customer Service" stood still, stretched out his hand and pointed towards the void in front of him, and two images emerged from the void, both in the appearance of a human male, wearing a uniform similar to his, There are only the right to know logos on the shoulders and chest, and the "customer service" stares at one of them. The man's black hair is longer than his, and he has a pair of quiet eyes. When he smiles, it's like the starry sky is embracing the lonely soul.

"Father, goodbye." "Customer service" said softly, "I hope we can meet again."
