When the shadow of the bald man struck, Lin Sanjiu's eyelashes had not had time to finish fluttering, and she was already enveloped by the effect of the special item.
From the corner of my eye, everything in the world seemed to suddenly slow down; the water waves slowly rose up, and after a long time, the waves began to break out bit by bit. Even the waves took shape.
The speed is also so sluggish and slow, as if you have to wait for endless time before you can see it gradually whitening and jumping.
On the river in front of me, the only thing missing was the figure of the bald man.
[Human Fictional Imagination Series] No. 2 [Does time really exist? And the inferences from this question.]
This item belongs to the "Human Fictional Imagination" series of special items, number 02. There are five items in this series, with names of different lengths. There will be no surprises after collecting them all.
Does time really exist?
Thirteen billion years ago, the universe came into being from the Big Bang; 3.8 billion years ago, life began to appear on the earth; 70,000 years ago, a creature called Homo sapiens walked on the surface of the earth for the first time.
.Before the emergence of Homo sapiens, it is true that atoms still combined and separated, cells still died and were born, and the tides still rose and fell... But only after Homo sapiens did the concept of "time" appear. From this perspective, it
It is just one of the fictional imaginations of human beings; time does not exist. It is created by human beings to measure and describe changes in themselves and the outside world.
If a thing is eternal, can we still say that it also has the concept of time?
In the same way, when all novels and movies refer to "turning back time", it is not actually time that goes back, but the development process of things, because time does not actually exist.
Precisely because it is just a human concept, it is particularly easy to mess with it.
This product can disrupt human perception of the changes and development of external things, causing the target (limited to one person at most) to experience random perception confusion, which is reflected in "the inability to grasp time."
"Where is he--"
Lin Sanjiu slowly opened her mouth and spat out this sentence word by word in a slowness that she was not even aware of. She might have thought that her tone was urgent and her movements were quick, but no matter what the swimming figure was,
The young man and the fat white man all glanced at her with surprise and suspicion, and at the same time realized that this woman had been tricked.
But they can't do anything -
Because once Lin Sanjiu was thrown into the chaos and no longer a threat, the bald man actually went towards the swimming young man; on the other side, dozens or hundreds of snow-white waves seemed to become excited at the same time.
, rushing toward them amidst the loud sound of water.
In Lin Sanjiu's perception, although the things around her suddenly slowed down, she herself was still moving at the same speed; she didn't know how long this feeling lasted, and the things around her suddenly sped up again, but she herself
It slowed down again - the self, the outside world, and perception all became several different speeds, chaotically mixed together; everything in front of me was so fast that it caught people off guard, as if a video had been pressed three times to fast forward.
Everything in front of me suddenly turned into a twisted pattern.
She couldn't see where the bald man went, but she vaguely seemed to hear half of the fat man's scream.
His exclamation passed by in a flash, and in the long river of time it sounded like it was just a passing moment, not worth mentioning. Lin Sanjiu floated in the water blankly, being pushed around by the waves, and he was full of anxiety in his spare time, but
There was nothing she could do - it seemed that she couldn't even control the speed of her movements. In the chaotic perception of speed and speed, she sometimes looked like she was sleepwalking, sometimes like she was twitching.
The bald man looked away from her and smiled at the young man swimming.
"I'm so sorry. I actually have no grudges against you, it's just that this game is not good." He whispered, and then pressed his arm from the air: "Get off!"
Several waves immediately rose high and shattered into countless tiny water droplets in the air. They were so fine and dense that they covered the faces of the young man and the fat man like mist.
Because the master was in chaos, the barrier formed by consciousness did not work at all; the mist quickly spread into their facial features and skin texture, and the two of them just squinted their eyes, and then they were suddenly shocked by some invisible force.
Pressed underwater——
Without even uttering a exclamation, the young man swimming was submerged above his head, and the fat white man also followed him into the water.
He struggled desperately, stirring up layers of white waves, and the bubbles rolled on the surface of the water; however, no matter what methods the two of them used, the waves that penetrated their bodies dragged them deeper and deeper.
As soon as these two people touch the bottom of the river, the bald man can escape from this game.
Seeing the water bubbles on the river getting smaller and smaller, the bald man snorted softly, wiped the water from his face, and turned towards Lin Sanjiu - he intentionally left her aside, not because
Be merciful to her, but remember the special things she has.
Lin Sanjiu was still stuck in cognitive confusion at this time: in her eyes, she finally saw the bald man swimming towards her in slow motion; but when he waved his hand, several waves of waves came from him.
When the water surface also jumped up, she finally slowly raised her hand and shouted: "Let him go..."
The bald man had no patience to continue listening.
Seeing the time on the river in the distance, the waves were breaking and gradually approaching in this direction. The bald man whistled, and the waves immediately rushed towards Lin Sanjiu.
But this time they didn't turn into water mist and get into her body. The waves held hands and connected themselves into a water circle, restraining Lin Sanjiu's body with a roar - in her mind
Here, she obviously still had plenty of time to react, but she lost her ability to move in the blink of an eye.
The water circle connected to the river surface, pressing down on her like a wall of water around her, making it impossible for her to move at all. Even if Lin Sanjiu wanted to take action, her hands and feet were affected by cognitive confusion, and even her speed
They couldn't coordinate anymore - she watched helplessly as the bald man grabbed her and pulled the traction rope. The two of them immediately broke through the river and rose into the air, rising higher and higher towards the top of the stone pillar.
.
The cold wind in the air pierced Lin Sanjiu's soaked body like a knife, causing her to tremble hard, and a series of inarticulate sounds rolled out of her throat.
The bald man glanced at her, and wrapped his hand around her arm like a steel ring, making her bones ache.
Lin Sanjiu's perception of the things around her became more and more weird, as if every glance and everything she saw was on a separate flow of time - another gust of cold wind blew her hair off her forehead.
The water droplets on the edge fell on her body bit by bit, causing her to tremble again from the cold, and she said something vaguely. When she reluctantly raised her head, the top of the stone pillar, which seemed to be pressed down by white mist, was already just a short distance away.
Far away.
When the two were finally pulled up to the platform by the rope from the top of the tower, the bald man loosened his grip and threw Lin Sanjiu, who was still tightly wrapped, on the stone platform. He took a few breaths and walked towards the stone platform.
There is a metal pole standing in the center - there are pulleys and ropes in the metal pole. Following the pace of the bald man, the ropes are being retracted in a rustling manner.
"What?" The bald man suddenly stopped, as if he heard something, frowned and turned his head.
Lin Sanjiu, who was lying on the stone platform, didn't know what she said - not only did her speech sound unclear, but the rhythm was also very uncomfortable: the first few words were often so fast that she felt like she was biting her tongue.
, the last few words suddenly slowed down, and there was no pattern at all, making her words sound like the babble of a child.
"You have muttered several times," the bald head frowned and smiled, untied the rope and squatted down in front of her: "I won't let you go no matter what you say -"
"You, have you ever heard of -" Lin Sanjiu suddenly said half a sentence sharply and quickly, and then said slowly: "Three...hundred...roads...?"
