Middle-aged Chen Yu reached out and took out two mobile phones from the safe.
Walking back to the desk and sitting down, he felt that the experiment done by his 18-year-old self was very good. If it succeeded, the two mobile phones could be hidden in two places.
That way, even if one of the phones is stolen, they can still use the other phone to contact them.
I turned on the two mobile phones casually. The boot time of the Apple phone was a little shorter than that of the Qianyu phone. The first one was successfully booted.
He clicked on WeChat, thought for a moment, clicked on the dialog box with himself, and sent a smiley face emoticon first.
During the experimental phase, he did not want to send any text for the time being. In contrast, it was much safer to send some meaningless expressions.
It can achieve the experimental effect and should not cause any changes in time and space.
…
year 2013.
It’s the same full moon night in Beijing.
In Chen Yu’s rental house, 18-year-old Chen Yu is also trying to use his newly purchased iPhone to contact himself 20 years later.
He just sent two messages.
One piece of content reads: "The Yangtze River, the Yangtze River, and I am the Yellow River. If you see it, please answer!"
The content of another article is: "If you don't want to leave the time and space you are currently in and don't want to talk to me, just give me a punctuation mark! Let me know that you can see my message."
It has been more than an hour since these two messages were sent.
He still didn't wait for any reply.
Is it because 20 years later I didn’t see the message I sent?
As time passed, his suspicions became more and more serious. After thinking about it, he picked up his Qianyu mobile phone and sent a message.
"Are you there? Did you see the message I sent you on my iPhone? If you don't want to talk, just send me a punctuation mark!"
…
2033.
The middle-aged Chen Yu, who was waiting for a reply, suddenly heard the Qianyu mobile phone at his hand ring.
He frowned slightly, reached for Qianyu's phone, and saw the text message just sent by his 18-year-old self.
From the content of this text message, he realized that his 18-year-old self did not receive the smiling emoticon he had just sent.
Moreover, my 18-year-old self also sent him a message using my iPhone, but he did not receive it.
Although he had been mentally prepared for this, he was still a little disappointed when he was really sure that they could not contact each other using other mobile phones.
It seems that the first plan of the experiment has failed.
He sighed softly and replied with a period on his Qianyu mobile phone.
…
year 2013.
18-year-old Chen Yu couldn't help but frown when he saw the reply he had just received in the WeChat message on Qianyu mobile phone in his hand, that lonely period.
Qianyu mobile phone can be contacted, but Apple mobile phone cannot be contacted...
What exactly is the problem?
Option 1 doesn't seem to work, so it seems like Option 2 should be tried.
But there is no time to do the experiment of Plan 2 tonight.
At this time, I wanted to rush back to my hometown of Huizhou, but it was too late.
But it should be fine tomorrow night.
Tomorrow is the 16th day of the lunar calendar, and it is still the night of the full moon. According to the rules he summarized before, on the 15th and 16th days of each month, he may get in touch with himself 20 years later.
In order to ensure that tomorrow night, 20 years later, he would be in his hometown of Huizhou and cooperate with his experiment, the 18-year-old thought for a while and sent another message on his Qianyu mobile phone.
——"Tomorrow night is still the night of the full moon. Then we will both go back to our own rooms in our hometown. Let's try our best to restore the scene when we first contacted each other this time, okay? If you have no objection, just give it to me again.
Give me a full stop!"
…
2033.
Middle-aged Chen Yu looked at the new message he had just received, hesitated for a few seconds, and then replied with a full stop.
He felt that although he communicated with himself 20 years ago tonight, he didn't say a word, he just replied with two periods, which should not cause time and space to change.
This can be regarded as a little experiment of his own.
If he is sure that replying like this will not cause time and space to change, then when he does not want to leave a certain time and space in the future, he can have a simple communication with himself 20 years ago.
only……
He soon learned that his little experiment had failed.
As his communication with himself from 20 years ago ended tonight, even if he only replied two periods, everything in front of him was still blurry before long, and all the sounds around him seemed to be quickly fading away.
His consciousness began to sink again.
It seems like falling into a bottomless abyss.
When this sinking feeling of consciousness ended and he slowly opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that he was in a small bedroom.
This bedroom looks familiar.
He was lying on a wooden single bed. On the wall was a cross-stitch "Preface to Orchid Pavilion" and a handicraft sword.
The simple wooden desk next to the bed also looked familiar, it was clearly the desk he used when he was a student.
He just took a casual look at everything in this bedroom and knew that this was the ancestral home of their Chen family. This bedroom was where he had lived since he was a child.
Compared with 20 years ago, this bedroom is much older.
Other than that, not much has changed.
The cleaning was quite clean.
He got up and sat up on the bed, laughing to himself.
Unexpectedly, this time he only replied two periods to himself 20 years ago, which could also cause time and space to change.
He is preparing to cooperate with his 18-year-old self and rush back to his hometown in Huizhou tomorrow to do the experiment.
However, after a time and space change, he appeared directly in his ancestral home in Huizhou Prefecture, which saved him the trouble of traveling between places.
If you think about it this way, this change in time and space is really considerate, allowing him to have the magical power of teleportation.
He sat on the edge of the bed and waited quietly.
He is waiting for the "memory" of this new time and space to appear in his mind.
Not long after, many brand new "memories" emerged in his mind out of thin air.
He closed his eyes and tried to capture the information revealed by these "new memories".
After a few minutes, he slowly opened his eyes.
He stood up and put on the slippers beside the bed, bent down and looked under the bed.
He had just learned in "new memory" that there was a suitcase under the bed.
At this time, he bent down and looked under the bed, and sure enough he saw a black suitcase lying there silently.
He smiled and reached out to drag out the suitcase.
Based on the "new memory" in my mind, I entered a few numbers on the password lock of the suitcase, and then there was a soft click and the password lock opened.
Chen Yu opened the suitcase and saw a lot of changes of clothes inside. It looked like a suitcase for clothes.
but……
Based on the "new memory" in his mind, he reached under the clothes in the box and felt around. First he took out an old Qianyu mobile phone.
He casually placed it on top of the clothes in the box, then reached under the clothes to fumble around, and soon pulled out a white iPhone.
He still placed it casually on top of the clothes in the box, and reached under the clothes in the box with his right hand for the third time, groping again.
Soon, he took out a black iPhone.
Three mobile phones!
After this time and space change, "he" from 20 years ago actually prepared an extra iPhone for experiments.
These were all things he had just learned from the "new memories" in his mind.
His "new memory" told him that 20 years ago, when he was preparing to return to his hometown in Huizhou Prefecture to do this experiment, he suddenly decided to buy another iPhone as a backup.
"He" thought very well. If the experiment he carried out back to his hometown in Huizhou was successful, then "he" and himself 20 years later would be able to communicate through three mobile phones.
In this way, "he" can hide these three mobile phones in three different places, like a cunning rabbit's three burrows.
Even if you lose one or two mobile phones, there is still a third mobile phone that can be used as a backup.
Make sure that "he" and himself in 20 years will not lose contact.
"Be so careful."
Middle-aged Chen Yu sighed softly, with a smile on his lips.
Be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years.
He recognized this caution.
He stood up with these three mobile phones and put them on the desk. After thinking for a while, he turned and walked to the closet, opened the closet door, and took out a laptop bag from inside.
Taking this computer bag, I returned to the bed and sat casually on the edge of the bed.
He opened his computer bag and took out the laptop inside.
Then, he turned on the three mobile phones one by one.
The original agreement between the 18-year-old "him" and him was that on the full moon night tomorrow night, they would both return to their ancestral home in Huizhou Prefecture and try to contact each other using other mobile phones.
but……
Since a change in time and space immediately sent him back to his ancestral home in his hometown, he wanted to see if he could use his iPhone to contact himself 20 years ago.
In terms of time, tonight is still the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.
The person I was 20 years ago should not have returned to Huizhou yet, but should still be in the capital.
He wanted to try to see if one of them could contact each other using another mobile phone when one of them was at the ancestral home and the other was not at the ancestral home.
Anyway, I have nothing to do this late at night, and I won’t get pregnant if I try.
"I'm already at my old house, can you see this message from me?"
He sent himself this message on his white iPhone.
After that, he waited patiently.
However, more than half an hour passed and he did not wait for any reply.
After thinking for a while, he sent the same message using the black iPhone.
result……
More than an hour passed, and no reply came from either the white Apple or the black iPhone.
Middle-aged Chen Yu showed a wry smile.
It still doesn't seem to work.
…
year 2013.
18-year-old Chen Yu smiled when he saw the reply he had just received on the Qianyu mobile phone in his hand, and another period that he had just sent 20 years later.
Since they had made an appointment to conduct another experiment at their ancestral home tomorrow night, he could book a flight ticket now.
Immediately, without hesitation, he used his mobile phone to book a flight ticket from Beijing to Huizhou tomorrow morning.
After booking the flight, he looked at the white iPhone on the desk, and an idea suddenly came to his mind - if you are chasing one sheep, you are chasing two sheep, so why not just buy another mobile phone and bring it with you?
How about going back to my hometown to do experiments together? If this experiment can be successful, wouldn’t it be better to have one more mobile phone that can contact me 20 years later? From now on, I can hide three mobile phones in three houses.
It's like a cunning rabbit in three burrows. Isn't it safer?
As for preparing more mobile phones, how much insurance should I add?
This idea also flashed through his mind, but he rejected it.
He thinks three mobile phones are enough.
No need to prepare more just.
Because the more mobile phones he prepares, the greater the chance that someone will discover the secret that he can communicate with himself 20 years later.
Having made a decision in his mind, he looked at the time on his phone and found that it was only after 8 pm, not even 9 pm.
At this point in time, the nightlife in Beijing has just begun.
Many shopping malls should not be closed yet.
It's probably not too late to buy a new mobile phone now.
With this thought in mind, he immediately got up and went to change his clothes and shoes. Not long after, he left the rental house, hailed a taxi outside the community, and went straight to the largest shopping mall nearby.
The brand new white iPhone he bought tonight was bought in that mall.
Came to that mall again.
When he found the counter selling Apple mobile phones, the 18-year-old man chose a black Apple mobile phone without much hesitation after being introduced by the shopping guide.
…
2033.
Middle-aged Chen Yu put away the three mobile phones and computers and came out of the bedroom wearing slippers.
No one had lived in their ancestral home for many years, and the "new memory" in his mind told him that everything in this new time and space was no different from the previous time and space.
His wife is still Cen Rou.
The women "he" has slept with over the years are still managed by the entertainment company established by Cen Rou. Last month, "he" was also kidnapped while dating that Hollywood female star Vanessa Brightman.
He arrived on a small island and was finally rescued by the Chinese military. When he was rescued, Cen Rou appeared wearing a white suit.
None of these have changed.
but……
Some places have also changed.
The biggest change is that in this new time and space, his children have changed.
In the last time and space, Cen Rou gave birth to two daughters for him.
The women outside gave him eleven sons and seven daughters.
But now in this new time and space, Cen Rou gave him a son and a daughter, and those women outside gave him nine sons and nine daughters.
It can be said that there have been great changes in terms of children.
Why are other things basically unchanged, but children have changed so much?
As middle-aged Chen Yu walked out of his ancestral home, he thought about the reason in his heart.
When he communicated with himself 20 years ago this time, he only replied with two periods. Why did it lead to such a huge change in his children?
The Butterfly Effect!
He knew it was the butterfly effect.
The explanation of the butterfly effect flashed through his mind at this time - "A butterfly in the Amazon basin of South America, flapping its wings a few times, can cause a tornado somewhere in the United States two weeks later..."
This is the explanation he saw when he searched for the term "Butterfly Effect" on the Internet after watching the first movie of "The Butterfly Effect".
Of course he couldn't remember exactly how it was explained, but it probably meant the words that just flashed through his mind.
To put it simply, one move affects the whole body.
Any small, inconspicuous change may cause a huge chain reaction.
——When I contacted my 18-year-old self this time, I agreed to come to my ancestral home in my hometown to do the experiment, which led to the time when I slept with Cen Rou and others in the past... Did everything change?
Chen Yu walked out of the ancestral house with this explanation in his mind.
He felt that this should be the truth.
He feels that the birth of every child is an accident.
A slight change in the amount of time an adult man and woman spend sleeping together may lead to a different appearance of the child they eventually give birth to.
Maybe the couple had sex at 8 o'clock and the child they conceived was a boy. If they had sex at 8:05, the child they conceived might be a girl.
Chen Yu, who had just walked out of the courtyard of his ancestral home, saw a bodyguard in black standing motionless in the night outside the courtyard wall every few meters away.
He didn't find it strange either.
The "new memory" in his mind had already told him that there were many bodyguards protecting him outside his ancestral home tonight.
"Is there any cigarette?"
He walked up to the nearest bodyguard on the right side of the courtyard door, stretched out his hand and asked.
He "remembered" that the bodyguard had a smoking habit.
At this moment, he wanted to smoke one to relieve the melancholy in his heart.
Just replying two full stops to his past self, it caused all his children to change. How could he not feel any trouble in his heart?
"have."
The bodyguard quickly took out his cigarettes and lighter and handed them to Chen Yu.
"Thanks."
Chen Yu took one, lowered his head and lit it, then handed the remaining cigarettes and lighter back to the bodyguard.
…
The next morning.
When Chen Yu returned to his big villa at the end of the village, he saw his grandma picking vegetables in the vegetable patch in the yard, his mother drying clothes in the yard, and his father Chen Guang arranging fishing gear, seemingly preparing to go fishing.
He also saw the son and daughter Cen Rou gave birth to.
Two children, one holding a bowl, were sitting on the doorstep eating breakfast.
The other one was sitting in the living room with a mirror and comb, braiding his own hair.
Everything seemed so real and so pyrotechnic.
It seems like their family's situation has always been like this.
This made Chen Yu feel a little dazed, wondering if he had hallucinated recently? Or maybe his experiences over the past year were all experiences in his own dreams.
Maybe I never had lung cancer.
Maybe I got into Shuimu University based on my true ability...
Maybe Tang Hongjie, Jiang Xiu, and Jiang Wenwen have never been my wives. Maybe Tang Hongjie was originally my wife's personal bodyguard, and Jiang Xiu has always been my housekeeper?
And the reason why my career has grown so big and I have become the richest man in the world is not because I have any cheats, but because I am a once-in-a-lifetime genius?
As for why I have so many hallucinations recently, thinking that I have cheats, thinking that I have experienced so many different time and space... In fact, it is all because I, like other geniuses, have begun to become mentally abnormal?
There is a fine line between genius and madness...
Am I changing from a genius to a madman?
…
Maybe it's because he has experienced too much time and space over the past year or so, and the various memories in his mind are too confusing.
At this moment, middle-aged Chen Yu walked into his yard, saw the family members in front of him, and felt that everything in front of him was real. He suddenly suspected that his experiences in the past year or so were all imaginary.
"Hey! Xiaoyu, do you want to go fishing with me? I heard that someone recently caught a lot of mandarin fish under the Xin'an River Bridge. Do you want to try it with me?"
In the yard, Chen Guangzhao, who was sorting out fishing gear, suddenly asked Chen Yu. His voice brought Chen Yu's thoughts back to reality.
