Chapter 287: Time Prisoner [For the leader of the alliance]
"What did you say? Who am I? Who are you? What are we going to do? Are we going to save the earth?"
Zhao Tangzhan looked at the old man opposite and was speechless for a while. It has been three days since the old man said that sentence again. He seemed to have a mental problem. One moment he said that he was Iron Man's cousin and the straight man.
He will say that he is Captain America and a Chinese veteran...
December 30, 2020 at 11 o'clock.
Zhao Tangzhan was already desperate. Is this old man kidding him? Why did his computer suddenly freeze and go crazy?
I smoked a cigarette and checked the time. I have been chatting with the old man these past few days but got nothing. What the hell, I hate talking incompletely, it is so suffocating.
What else can you do? You can only choose to forget it, otherwise it will circulate in your mind. For example, someone around you says to you: "I will tell you a secret, but you must not tell others..."
In the end, the other party stopped telling you, but you remembered it. You wanted to know this secret, but the other party didn't tell you. It's really uncomfortable.
Walking downstairs, you have an extra hour? What should you do? I seem to be getting less and less sleepy.
It's actually quite nice to just stroll around on the street with nothing to do and walk alone on the road.
As he walked, he didn't even know what time it was. Zhao Tangzhan was thinking about how to escape from this time cage and how to make some changes in this cage.
ah!
Suddenly there was a scream from ahead.
Liu Lulu works the night shift tonight. Her workplace is not far from her accommodation. She can walk home in less than ten minutes each time.
She habitually took out her cell phone and looked at it. She didn't pay any attention to what was in front of her or what was about to happen to her.
Wang Dalong was walking drunkenly and cursing on the street. Why the hell could he just back off like this? He was still being scolded by a woman in his thirties for being useless and worthless.
He was so angry that his new girlfriend called him useless, saying that he was worthless and only knew how to hang around and drink all day long. He was famous for his bad taste in wine.
Wang Dalong, who has been a troublemaker since he was a child, has changed many jobs and has gotten into trouble several times by getting drunk and causing trouble.
He is the one who is said to be high-minded and low-handed. He can't do hard work, but he likes to complain that no one is helping him, as if the whole world owes him.
Now I don’t even have 180 yuan in my pocket. I am in my thirties and I still ask my grandma for money when I have nothing to do.
Today, my girlfriend's best friend's boyfriend gave her best friend a set of high-end cosmetics. Wang Dalong's girlfriend also wanted it, but Wang Dalong asked his grandma for it, but he didn't have any money.
His girlfriend got angry and scolded Wang Dalong in the street for a few times before leaving. Wang Dalong was so angry that he bought a bottle of Erguotou and started drinking. He was drunk now.
Liu Lulu looked at the phone and covered her mouth with a smile. Wang Dalong saw Liu Lulu at a glance. Liu Lulu, who looked sweet and had a good figure, immediately made Wang Dalong's eyes light up, and his animalistic nature became apparent.
It is said that drinking makes people cowardly, and Wang Dalong is not a coward in the first place. He has loved making trouble since he was a child, so he becomes more courageous after drinking.
He suddenly became lustful and punched Liu Lulu. He wanted to knock Liu Lulu unconscious, and then...
After Zhao Tangzhan heard a scream and a call for help, he ran forward quickly, and happened to see a group of big men violently abusing a weak girl.
He kicked him up, and I choked him. This man was really strong, and he actually bounced Zhao Tangzhan back. But Wang Dalong was also in pain and clutching his stomach. It really hurt.
Zhao Tangzhan continued to fight with his fists without saying a word. Wang Dalong was not good at fighting either. He had very rich fighting experience. The two of them struggled together.
Liu Lulu got up with difficulty and wanted to pick up the phone to call the police, but Wang Dalong broke the phone.
"Run quickly." Zhao Tangzhan shouted. Only then did Liu Lulu react and hurriedly ran to her work place to prepare to call the police.
"Ah! Damn it! You bite someone." Wang Dalong screamed.
Zhao Tangzhan bit Wang Dalong's arm hard, but he did not shout like the male protagonists in movies and TV series: "Let that girl go."
This is a reality, pretending to be cool can easily lead to overturning, so it is better to just do it directly, bite people, catch people and use all kinds of tricks.
Half an hour later.
The police car stopped at the scene of the crime. Liu Lulu led the police over and found that there was no one there and there was blood everywhere on the ground.
Wang Dalong ran away with Zhao Tangzhan's teeth marks all over his body. Chen Shi also limped back home and collapsed on the bed.
December 30, 2020 at 11 o'clock.
Zhao Tangzhan rushed straight to the spot where Wang Dalong appeared with a telescopic stick.
This time Zhao Tangzhan was walking around the street and found Liu Lulu on duty at a 24-hour convenience store.
Entering the store, Zhao Tangzhan bought a box of cigarettes and left, ordering a late-night snack from a nearby food stall.
At 12:15, Liu Lulu and another girl took over, and Zhao Tangzhan also got up. From this food stall, he could see everything in the convenience store.
Liu Lulu played with her mobile phone and walked forward. Zhao Tangzhan followed her. Zhao Tangzhan wanted to know if Wang Dalong would appear again?
In less than five minutes, Wang Dalong appeared on a deserted street and punched Liu Lulu. However, before he could touch Liu Lulu, Zhao Tangzhan hit him on the arm with a stick.
Wang Dalong looked at Zhao Tangzhan with a pale face, but before he could react, Zhao Tangzhan had already hit him with another stick.
Damn it, I love to hold grudges the most, Zhao Tangzhan cursed in his heart while fighting.
"Stop hitting me. If you hit me again, I will die." Wang Dalong said weakly.
Zhao Tangzhan looked back at Liu Lulu and said, "Hurry up and don't lower your head and play with your phone while walking."
"Oh oh oh~" Liu Lulu nodded quickly and ran away. Damn it, I forgot to ask for that warrior's contact information. If I don't have him tonight, I will be in danger.
Zhao Tangzhan left after beating Wang Dalong. He suddenly found a kind of fun. He spent money to learn fighting skills during the day. At night, he stopped using sticks and started fighting Wang Dalong with his bare hands.
She went directly to find Wang Dalong in advance. When Liu Lulu came home from get off work, she saw two grown men fighting each other. After avoiding them, she trotted back to her residence.
Wang Dalong was very depressed, who is this? Why did he hit himself without saying a word...
Over and over again, who knows the refreshing feeling of killing monsters? It is super refreshing. Zhao Tangzhan practices fighting skills during the day and goes to actual combat at night.
Originally, he was on par with Wang Dalong, but after a few days, he was able to defeat Wang Dalong directly.
On the seventh day, Zhao Tangzhan came again, but Wang Dalong didn't come. He didn't know what happened. Liu Lulu still passed by Zhao Tangzhan.
I have beaten Wang Dalong so many times and followed him twice. I know where he lives, but where is this man? Why didn't he come today?
Zhao Tangzhan found Wang Dalong's residence and found that there was no one at home. Suddenly a news message popped up on his mobile phone. It was real-time news. When he clicked on it, Zhao Tangzhan was confused.
Wang Dalong drunkenly molested and attacked a woman. Unexpectedly, the woman was the world female fighting champion. As a result, Wang Dalong was beaten with broken bones all over his body and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. His life and death were unknown. The woman was acting in self-defense and had no responsibility...
Has it changed again? Zhao Tangzhan felt heartbroken. This monster is gone. Will he still have to beat the female fighting champion in front of him in the future?
At 10:00 on December 30, 2020,
One more hour? What should I do? I seem to be getting less and less sleepy.
Zhao Tangzhan didn't know why if he changed one thing, he would go back an hour, but this was equivalent to two more hours, and he had twenty-six hours.
I walked downstairs, ready to find something to eat, when I suddenly heard a scream coming from the community!
A woman's scream! If the time hadn't gone back two hours and this extra time period was added, and Zhao Tangzhan happened to come downstairs again, he wouldn't have heard it.
The screams stopped after two or three times, and Zhao Tangzhan stood in the garden of the community looking for them. There were only six buildings in this community.
It belongs to an old community and is six stories high, but it is not small at all. At least now Chen Shi doesn't know the source of the sound, but he is definitely not from his building.
I checked the time and it was now 10:19 on December 30, 2020. It should have been around 16 to 17 when I came down.
The screams lasted only a few seconds, but at this point in time, Zhao Tangzhan missed the first scream. He was observing this point to see who was still awake.
Building 3, 601, Building 5, 402, Building 1, 302, Building 2, 202, Building 4, 302 and 401,
At this time, almost everyone had the lights on, and the screams were definitely not shouts and vents, but more like screams.
A kind of blood-curdling scream, Zhao Tangzhan was sure that something must have happened at this moment, but he couldn't knock on the door from door to door. The only thing he could do was to call the police, but with a short scream
Even if you call the police, it will be difficult for the police to investigate.
There are a total of six buildings in this community. Zhao Tangzhan lives in Building 6, which is basically empty. Most of the residents in this building have moved out, and the few remaining households are all old men and women who have fallen asleep long ago.
There are seventy-two households, and there are more than sixty households including the vacant houses that have been moved out. It is a bit unrealistic to knock on doors from door to door. If you determine which building the screams are coming from, it will be easier to investigate.
Zhao Tangzhan sorted out his thoughts. He was walking around the community alone. He was counting time, practicing the fastest running speed, and observing the time for night owls to turn off the lights in each building.
Building 3, 601 turned off the lights at 11:10, Building 5, 402 turned off the lights at 11:20, Building 1, 302 turned off the lights at 12:25 am, Building 2, 202 turned off the lights at 12:4 am
Ten turned off the lights, Building 4 302 turned off the lights at 2:20 in the morning, and 401 did not turn off the lights until 5:30 in the morning.
This is all with the lights on in the living room or bedroom. It does not exclude people lying on the bed with the lights off and playing with their mobile phones, or with the curtains closed and the desk lamp turned on.
Until the afternoon, Zhao Tangzhan became sleepy due to boredom. He went home and went to bed. He didn't bother to set the alarm clock. Anyway, he would wake up automatically at that point.
At 10:00 on December 30, 2020, Chen Zhaotang ran out the door, quickly went downstairs, checked the time at 10:02, adjusted his breathing, and ran to the garden in the middle of the community.
Ten minutes later.
There was a sound of beatings and noises, and Zhao Tangzhan focused on the house in Building 3 401 that had not turned on the lights.
The lights in the living room came on, the lights in the kitchen came on, and then they were all turned off.
At 10:15, there was a sudden sound of being beaten, and at 10:17, a woman's scream came.
At this time, Zhao Tangzhan had already rushed to the door of the house and knocked hard on the door.
"Help! Help me!" A woman's cry came from inside.
Zhao Tangzhan shouted outside the door: "I'm calling the police if you open the door or not."
It was still quiet and there was no movement. Suddenly a little girl's voice came from the room: "Dad~Mom~oooooo~Dad, Mommy~ wake up, get up."
Zhao Tangzhan called 110 for the police. He didn't know what happened inside, and he couldn't break the security door violently.
Fifteen minutes later.
The police came, and a middle-aged police officer asked about Zhao Tangzhan.
"I was about to go downstairs for a supper at night. Suddenly I heard a scream, and then a series of screams. I ran over to take a look. I knocked on the door but no one opened the door. There was a child's voice inside, calling for daddy.
Mom, wake up."
When the middle-aged police officer heard this, without saying a word, he asked someone to break open the door, enter the room and turn on the lights. Everyone gasped.
A little girl's eyes were dull, her body was trembling and she was speechless. She seemed to be frightened.
Fresh blood is flowing on the living room floor, and this blood is spreading around.
A woman in pajamas was lying there motionless. Her neck and back were covered in blood. Her pajamas were soaked in blood. She was lying there motionless like a bloody person.
Next to the woman in pajamas, there was a man lying. His eyes were wide open, and he was holding a kitchen knife in one hand. The kitchen knife was on his neck, and his blood was spraying out like a fountain.
The little girl sat among them blankly, unable to say a word. Looking at the people in the room, the little girl shivered and shrank into a ball.
Zhao Tangzhan had seen this little girl and this couple. They were both from the same community. They were the kind of neighbors who didn't greet each other when they met, and they had almost no contact with each other.
The little girl must be in the first grade. Zhao Tangzhan saw that the school uniform she was wearing was from a nearby elementary school. She had never worn it before, so she probably was in kindergarten at that time.
This was a case of murder and suicide. The man killed the woman first and then committed suicide. Zhao Tangzhan knew that he had changed everything.
Because yesterday, the last time the time was repeated, he watched the man go downstairs and come out once at noon, but the little girl did not appear.
Zhao Tangzhan might have knocked on the door suddenly, causing the man to be frightened for a moment, or he might have suffered a nervous breakdown and chose to commit suicide.
Zhao Tangzhan and the little girl were brought back to the police station, and the criminal police team and forensic doctors came over.
Zhao Tangzhan looked at the little girl. He didn't know what he should say. He couldn't even say a word of comfort. Perhaps what he could do was to help her prevent this tragedy?
Zhao Tangzhan didn't return from the police station until the afternoon. He couldn't believe that the couple could choose to leave if they couldn't survive. Why would this happen?
The little girl seemed to have aphasia and autism. In an instant, she changed from a smiling angel to a frightened angel.
Zhao Tangzhan took out a cigarette and lit it. He returned to the community and the alert was raised in Building 3.
The male owner's name is Huang Youcheng, who works in a trading company. People in his building said that this guy seemed to be addicted to gambling, and he had been chased by loan sharks before and had his house spray-painted.
The hostess's name is Guo Meiling, a full-time housewife. The neighbor said that she and her husband used to have a good relationship, but since her husband got involved in gambling, his temperament has changed drastically. They often hear their quarrels.
The little girl's name is Huang Jiaqi. She is in the first grade this year and is an only child. Neighbors said the little girl is very lively, has a cheerful personality, and is very polite when meeting people.
"Fuck! He's actually dead. He's actually dead. Hurry up and find a way to get his house." Several men said while standing outside the cordon.
Zhao Tangzhan walked over and handed over a few cigarettes and asked: "Brothers are also here to collect debts? What a coincidence, so am I. How much does he owe you? This has become a debt of death. It is unlikely that the debt will be paid off after death.
It’s great.”
A man with a bald head and a big gold chain lit a cigarette and said: "This damn Huang Youcheng borrowed 100,000 yuan from us. The compound interest is almost enough to mortgage the house. He is actually dead. The real estate certificate is with us."
, If it doesn’t work, I will sue, and when the time comes for the property to be auctioned, damn, I have to get the money.”
After a while, three or four waves of people came, all of them were creditors, and several were relatives and friends of Huang Youcheng. The news spread too fast, and the debt collection information network seemed not as powerful as ordinary people could imagine.
Zhao Tangzhan did the math and found that Huang Youcheng owed at least one million in foreign debt, and all his cars and houses were mortgaged.
People around took out their mobile phones to take pictures. This place seemed to have become a tourist attraction. Everyone spread the news on all chat software. Some people had already spread the news that their whole family had been killed, and others had changed their addresses to what happened in other provinces. Some even claimed that
Witnessed it all with my own eyes.
Zhao Tangzhan didn't know why their rumors became more and more outrageous. If he hadn't personally experienced this, he would have believed it.
Back home, Zhao Tangzhan was calculating one thing. If he called the police, would it be too late to prevent this tragedy? Is it too late? The quarrel started around 11:15.
He must break into the door immediately and dare to get the kitchen knife before the male host Huang Youcheng enters the kitchen.
At 11 o'clock on December 30, 2020, Zhao Tangzhan quickly rushed out of the house and went straight to Building 401, Building 3.
When he arrived at 401, Zhao Tangzhan knocked on the door without saying a word.
"Open the door quickly, Brother Huang and Sister Guo, I'm from the building opposite you."
There was still no movement in the house. During this time, the family had become numb. Debt collectors came every now and then in the middle of the night, and the neighbors were too disturbed to sleep and called the police.
Zhao Tangzhan was also confused. It seemed that these two people were often knocked on the door and were used to pretending to be deaf and dumb.
No matter what, I can only play hard. Zhao Tangzhan kicked the door, and the door suddenly opened. Huang Youcheng came towards him with a knife in his hand and slashed at him. Fortunately, Zhao Tangzhan was prepared and had already stayed away.
"Don't come out, go into the house." Huang Youcheng roared, and his wife entered the house with her daughter.
Zhao Tangzhan breathed a sigh of relief, everything had changed...
…
After reading this short story, Chen Shi said with emotion: "There are too many tragedies in the world. This story is very good. If you change one thing, you can go back one hour and gain more cycle time. To put it bluntly, you want to change these tragedies.
, the subject matter is very novel and very positive, and it will pass the review with no problem at all. Do you want to make it into a big online movie?"
"Yes, I want to give it a try. Now that I have enough creative ability, I want to finish shooting these pictures and put them into the market." Geng Hao said.
"Then let's shoot. We really need works to open up the market. We've arrived at the station. You go and do your work first. Wait for my call and I'll arrange the house first." Chen Shi said.
