Haicheng Pudong International Airport departure lounge.
A young man sat quietly in his seat.
He looked forward, holding a disrupted third-level Rubik's Cube in his left and right hands.
As the long and slender fingers beat, the two scrambled Rubik's cubes are rotating rapidly, stopping for a second every few seconds, and then starting to rotate rapidly again.
Strangely, these two Rubik's cubes have never been restored.
It's like a newbie fiddles with it casually and doesn't know how to play a Rubik's Cube at all.
People were coming and going at Haicheng Pudong International Airport, and the young man sitting in the bustling place seemed particularly quiet and lonely.
All the hustle and bustle has nothing to do with him.
Not far from the waiting room, several young people who went to the island country to participate in the Texas Hold'em Poker Competition saw this scene and immediately stopped.
It's not time to check in yet, so there's no need to rush to get on the plane.
"Someone is playing with a Rubik's Cube," a young man said with a smile.
Everyone followed his gaze and looked at the young man. However, a few people looked at it for a while and then turned away in boredom: "Newbie."
"Well, if you can't solve a third-level Rubik's Cube in sub-10, you haven't started yet. You have to learn to use both hands before you can solve the Rubik's Cube with one hand, and you want to learn to run before you can walk," one of them said.
The so-called sub-10 means recovery within ten seconds, which is a professional term for the speed of twisting a Rubik's Cube.
These people also seem to play Rubik's Cube, but they don't think much of the young boy's Rubik's Cube speed. They are the elite among Haicheng college students. This time they went to the island country to participate in the Texas Hold'em Poker Competition, and then stopped by "Takayama Hida" for a reloading session.
Take a hike and soak in a hot spring.
Takayama Hida is also called the Northern Alps.
The name is also wonderful.
British missionary Weston compared the mountain scenery of the Hida Mountains to the European Alps in 1896, and the Hida Mountains began to be known as the island Alps...
Later, the island country built the Alpine National Park directly here.
The other young people all found places to sit down.
However, one of the young men still stared closely at the boy.
He always felt a little strange.
"Ren Yan, come on, stop looking, you will be embarrassed," one person said.
However, the young man named Ren Yan did not turn around. He suddenly discovered a problem. Although the Rubik's Cube in the young man's hand had never been restored, the stasis picture was the same every time it was paused.
Exactly the same.
Moreover, the rhythm of the boy twisting the Rubik's Cube with one hand is extremely strange, like a recurring melody.
At first, Ren Yan thought that this young man was in DNF.
The so-called dnf is also a term for speed-twisting the Rubik's Cube. It means that professional players feel that they cannot solve the Rubik's Cube within the target time, so they give up and try again.
But later Ren Yan discovered that it was not the case.
Just like a normal person playing a Rubik's Cube, the goal is to make each side the same color, and this boy's goal every time is to restore it to the exact same complex color.
This kind of behavior seems to be that the other party is afraid that he or she will play too shockingly, so others will think that he is just a novice.
Ren Yan looked at the electronic watch on his wrist and counted the time calmly.
4.983 seconds.
This boy's speed of 'recovering' the Rubik's Cube with one hand is 4.983 seconds.
If you look at it this way, it is very strange that the teenager can solve the Rubik's Cube with one hand in an average of 5 seconds, and he still does it with both hands at the same time.
You know, the current world record for one-handed twisting is 4.693 seconds.
Ren Yan looked at the boy for a long time.
Then he walked up to the young man and asked curiously: "Have you ever participated in a Rubik's Cube competition? Why haven't I seen you in a Rubik's Cube competition? Do you want to participate in a Rubik's Cube competition? I can tell you how to sign up. Let me introduce myself.
I am the vice president of the Domestic Rubik’s Cube Speed Twist Association, my name is Ren Yan.”
The young man looked at him expressionlessly, still going his own way.
At this time, Ren Yan suddenly noticed that the boy's hands were covered with traces of frostbite. Once those kind of blue and purple marks were formed, they would not disappear until summer.
He didn't know what the circumstances were that would cause his hands to freeze like this.
"Dear passengers, please note that ticket check-in for flight ho1333 from Haicheng Airport to Osaka Kansai Airport has begun..."
The young man stood up and walked calmly towards the ticket gate and passed through the first-class priority lane.
Completely ignoring young people.
Ren Yan's companion laughed and said, "He's just having fun, why did you invite him?"
Ren Yan shook his head: "He doesn't do it casually."
The strange thing is, why do people who have mastered the Rubik's Cube to this level never participate in a Rubik's Cube competition?
Do you disdain to participate, or do you not know there is such a competition?
In fact.
Many people practice Rubik's Cube speed twisting in order to participate in competitions, but this is not the case for teenagers.
When he wanted to kill the Age of Gods, he could multi-task.
He needs to constantly improve his computing power and his ability to multitask.
The young man felt that he was still lacking in this aspect.
Ren Yan looked at the young man's back and felt a little regretful. After all, the Rubik's Cube is just a hobby for many people and cannot be used to study or support their families, so there is no more meaning in participating in the Rubik's Cube competition.
There's nothing you can do if the other party doesn't want to participate.
After passing the ticket gate, the boy sitting in the first class cabin continued to play with the Rubik's Cube. There were not many people in the first class cabin, except for him, there was only one middle-aged man.
When Ren Yan boarded the plane, he happened to see the boy still playing with the Rubik's Cube silently.
It was as if this young man had no other entertainment activities at all, or even any emotions.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that this young man was weird, but he couldn't explain why.
When the plane entered the stratosphere, the flight attendant served meals.
Another middle-aged man in the first class cabin stopped after taking two bites. It seemed that the food was not very tasty.
However, the young man ate one bite at a time, finishing every grain of rice in the bowl, as well as the fruits and snacks.
When the flight attendant saw this scene, he felt that this young man seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he looked very serious and cherished when he ate.
Only the boy himself knows what price someone paid to give him a bite to eat, and how precious the opportunity to eat normal food is.
So from now on, every bite of rice he takes will be taken seriously and not wasted.
Two hours later, the plane landed.
Passengers walked outside the plane and passed through the long and complicated Osaka customs.
However, the moment he walked out of the airport gate, the young man reached out and pulled out a hair from the back of the middle-aged man's head who was also a first-class passenger.
Then he held the hair between two fingers and gently inserted it into the middle-aged man's spleen, stirred it, and pulled it out again.
Understatement and calmness.
The young man let go and threw his hair on the ground, then continued walking forward.
Everything happened so fast. The middle-aged man only felt a pain in the back of his head, followed by a stabbing pain in his waist. The wound of internal bleeding caused him to kneel on the ground all of a sudden, and the strength of his body drained away quickly.
So is life.
Someone went to call the airport ground staff, but when the ground staff arrived they found that the middle-aged man was dead.
Heartbeat and breathing have completely stopped.
The passengers behind him were a little confused and thought the middle-aged man fell to the ground because he had a heart attack.
But soon, someone discovered that this was not the case. They saw blood seeping out of the pores on the middle-aged man's lower back, making his clothes wet.
The ground staff at the airport shouted: "Homicide, seal off the scene, call the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters! No one is allowed to leave, go get the surveillance video!"
The eyes of the passengers at the back widened. How could a nice trip suddenly turn into a murder scene!?
A passenger said: "We have not broken any laws. Why are we restricting our freedom? I remember him. He was a first-class passenger on flight ho1333. He got off the plane before us. If you want to find someone, you should find someone who got off the plane with him."
.”
However, at this moment, Ren Yan suddenly looked for the young man's figure in the crowd. As a result, the young man did not know where he had gone.
Ren Yan had no evidence, but he was certain that the young man must have done it.
It wasn't until this moment that he understood why he felt that the boy was weird. It was just because the other person's eyes were so calm, as if there was no emotion at all.
People from the police station came, and after reviewing the surveillance video, they saw the young man pulling out his hair and killing someone.
No wonder the murder weapon could not be found at the airport. It turned out that the murder weapon was made of hair, and the diameter of the wound on the deceased exactly matched the thickness of the hair.
At the airport, everyone has to go through several security checks. If someone is carrying a murder weapon, it would have been detected long ago.
However, normal people have no idea how hair can kill people.
This hair was plucked from the head of a middle-aged man on the spot.
The police station officers looked at each other in shock. It was a time walker murder incident, and only time walkers have this weird ability!
A police officer whispered: "Inform the Mysterious Business Department, we are not qualified to intervene in this kind of matter."
The Mysterious Business Department is a department that appeared after the time-travel incident began and specializes in dealing with time walkers.
Everyone inside is a time walker controlled by the God Generation Consortium. They serve the will of the God Generation Consortium and have great power. They can even affect the political situation of island countries in the outer world.
The boy was Qingchen, and the person he killed was a time walker from the Mysterious Business Department.
Secretly responsible for liaison with the Time Walkers of the Age of Gods in China. This time, due to the tense situation, they chose to retreat.
Unexpectedly, he retreated to the mainland of the island country and was still killed.
At this time, Qingchen didn't have any distracting thoughts.
There are only two things he thinks about, revenge and life and death.
The A02 secret military base is a very mysterious existence in the entire federation. It is one of the largest training bases for intelligence personnel of the Gods and is as notorious as the legendary Siberian Devil Training Camp.
But the information Qingchen got from Gao Qiao Dongshu and Zhao Shuai's memories was far more than that.
Because, these two people personally trained a group of male time walkers when they were at the A02 secret military base.
After those time walkers are discovered in the northern city, they will also be sent to A01, A02, and A03 secret military bases for two months of brutal training.
On the one hand, it is to improve the combat capabilities of the time walkers, and on the other hand, it is to brainwash these time walkers so that they can identify with the God Generation Consortium.
When Qingchen was imprisoned in the A02 military base, the second phase of time walkers had just graduated. 300 people completed their 'graduation ceremony' by hunting down 496 prisoners, and then returned to cities 20, 21, and 22 in the north.
.
Each batch of nearly a thousand time walkers received the most brutal combat training, and then graduated one after another, and then formed a large organization with thousands of people to help the Age of Gods complete control of the island countries in the outer world.
And search for the remaining time walkers that have not yet been discovered.
Under the previous planning of Li Ji Guanya and Qing Si Nianhua, they used a very perfect plan to replace the island country at a fixed point.
But even though they were so well-prepared, after small-scale destruction, they were beaten by the Time Walkers of the Age of Gods organization and forced to evacuate.
It's not that Ji Guanya and Si Nianhua are not powerful, but that this is the home court of the Gods after all. It's beyond imagination that they can sneak in and do so many things.
On this trip to the island country, Qingchen did not ask for help from Kunlun or Kyushu. What Ji Guanya and Si Nianhua could provide him was enough.
Just as time walkers from the Mysterious Business Department were swarming in, the entrance to Osaka Kansai Airport was already blocked.
A sniper gun sounded, and a section chief of the mysterious business department fell down.
Only then did everyone realize that the murderer had not gone far.
