Chapter 4: The Thief Who Stole Time

"First question, have I seen your daughter?"

Although Lu Weimin had been sitting opposite me just now, he had actually been in a daze, and when he completely understood that the person sitting in front of him was really capable of saving his daughter, he first became very excited, and soon obeyed my words, and listened to me ask him, he smirked for a while before hurriedly putting a photo in front of me.

I picked it up and looked at it, and I was a little trembling.

Seriously, Lu Weimin's story so far is a bit poignant: the old and lonely successful rich businessman, the untraceable memories of the past, the illegitimate daughter who was hurt, and of course, the 1 in 10,000 success rate, which is called a variety of misery!

Since ancient times, poignant stories are indispensable for beautiful and lovely people, you watch "Liang Zhu", you watch "Romeo and Juliet", you watch "Dream of Red Mansions", you watch "Golden Vase Plum", you watch "Golden Vase Plum...... Well, I don't know what you think of this last one, but I think it's pretty poignant anyway.

So I always thought that Lao Lu's daughter, even if she was not a pure fairy-level mm, at least she had to be a simple country girl with two big braids and sad eyes, she stood in front of Lu Weimin, and asked aggrievedly and carefully: "Mr. Lu, do you remember Xia Yuhe in the east of No. 53 courtyard in Xiaohewan Beili?" ”……

But the person in the photo surprised me, it was a problem girl who messed up her hair and had a weird yin and yang atmosphere, on her ears, nose, and lips, as long as there were exposed places hung with rings made of various metals, it was estimated that the airport security check could not pass, it was obviously a single eyelid, and she had to use stickers to make a pair, and the technology was not up to par, and the eyelids were exposed to two rotten eyes, and her face was covered with various colors. Captain Sbarro is still dirty......

In short, the sight of her reminds one of atavistic chameleons, over-evolved apes, and Libyan turkeys that fell into a pit - this is a typical problem girl!

Lu Weimin said with concern: "Have you seen it?" ”

I clasped up the photo and covered my heart and said, "I don't know if I've seen it, anyway, I must have never seen it wearing this outfit." ”

Lu Weimin also felt very ashamed and said, "Why are you asking this?" ”

I used to think he was quite cold-blooded, the other party was a little girl, even if you came to cheat you out of money, you can't do anything with anyone, but now I still haven't forgiven him, I think he should be on his feet!

I said, "It's a dead rule, and the person I want to go back to find must be someone I haven't seen before." ”

Lu Weimin's eyes lit up and said, "She has been out of town all the time, you shouldn't have seen her before." ”

I rejoiced, "Really? This is fortunate for me and for her - the second question, do you know how many people died in her? ”

"Not much."

"How many?"

"Five or six."

I said, "That's easy, we're going to go back and bring her back to life, so it's going to take a lot of effort to erase the memories of those who saw her die." ”

Lu Weimin assured: "I'm sure there are only five or six. ”

I snorted and said, "Your daughter is fine, no one will recognize her as long as she washes her face." ”

Lu Weimin stopped talking again.

"Last question, how long has she been dead?"

"Three days ago."

"Exactly?"

"The police told me that she had an accident around half past one in the afternoon."

I looked at my watch: "Well, 72 hours is still 45 minutes, which is quite enough." Suddenly, I was a little embarrassed and said, "Now, let's talk about money." ”

Lu Weimin wondered: "Money? ”

I was embarrassed to say, "Look, you have to pay someone to clean the glass, right, although I am the director of the neighborhood committee, I should be conscious, but I can't completely oblige to work for you -- besides, you are not our ......."

Lu Weimin reacted immediately, and suddenly said: "Money is not a problem, you can make a price casually." ”

I cautiously asked, "Anyway...... How much money do you really have? ”

Lu Weimin hesitated for a moment and said, "It's about less than 1 billion, I'm not a person who is too rich." ”

I wiped my sweat and said, "You're polite, I'll be satisfied with one-tenth of you in the future." "I used to think that if I had 10 million, I would be able to go around.

Lao Lu smiled humbly: "You can make an offer." ”

I am a very persistent person, since I think 10 million is enough, so I stretched out a finger and said, "I want to ......"

Before the words fell, Liu Lao Liu Leng Ding rushed in from outside the door and shouted: "You are too dark, just 100 million when you open your mouth?" ”

I was stunned: "I mean ......"

Liu Lao Liu hurriedly said to Lu Weimin: "Old Lu, don't take it to heart, he is like this, but this is also his death rule, and helping people to work is a tenth of the family in return." The old fellow said as he squeezed his eyes at me. I stretched out that finger abruptly and glanced at Lu Weimin tentatively. Liu Lao Liu is too dark, and he will open his mouth for 100 million!

Lu Weimin smiled unnaturally and said, "I said it, in fact, my total assets are less than 1 billion. ”

Liu Lao Liuyi pressed my finger back and said with a big grin: "You also take a step, don't be 100 million, just 90 million-" Then he patted Lu Weimin's shoulder and comforted, "90 million is actually not much, after all, there are human lives here." ”

Lu Weimin smiled slightly: "No, it's 100 million." Money is not an issue. ”

I admit that the reason why I am so concerned about Lu Weimin's affairs is that I want to get a certain amount of remuneration from him, and I have also thought about the amount, that is, 10 million, I am ready to make a move, and I will pay him back at most 8 million if he wants to split half the price......

What the? Why do I love money so much?

Why can't I love money? I can stop thinking about it except for time, I am an ordinary person, to buy soda, people will never sell Coke as mineral water to you because of this, of course, if you want to take it, you don't have to give a penny, no one can catch me, there are people who run fast, everyone wants to do this, the world is not chaotic? What are your qualities?

I didn't expect to earn 100 million yuan easily, after all, I am not an ordinary person in the ordinary sense after all, and I don't have enough understanding of life. If I cared about the length of life, I could definitely live 10 years to the length of two centuries. It could also be that I didn't realize the meaning of being a loved one because I was an orphan.

To hide my crampedness, I said, "We'll leave in a moment, but I'll remind you of ......"

Without waiting for me to say, Lu Weimin immediately responded: "I will never talk to anyone about this matter, including her!" ”

I nodded, looked at my watch and said, "It's still early, let's sit down for a while." ”

At this time, as soon as the door opened, two people walked in from the outside, and when the first person entered the door, he subconsciously lowered his head, in fact, although he was very tall, but it was by no means beyond the threshold, but this guy did look amazing, with a big nose, big eyes, thick eyebrows, burly figure, with an aura that dared to collide with everything, as if nothing in the world could withstand his punch and kick.

This guy's name is Chen Kepo, and he is my real hair small, and we grew up together in an orphanage since we were infants.

Chen Kepo walked in and kept waving his hand and shrugging his shoulders to express helplessness: "What do you think I should do in that situation at that time?" You can't think of a way. ”

A crisp voice behind him said displeasedly, "So I told you to wait!" But you still didn't listen. ”

As soon as Ah Po entered the house, he revealed the woman who was talking behind him, tall figure, enlarged breasts and thin waist, and a pair of dark black framed flat mirrors on the straight nose bridge, which lined her skin better than snow, and looked fashionable: breast enlargement, thin waist, glasses, fashion, comprehensive evaluation, ol glasses mother, royal sister. Excluding the obscene meaning in this sentence, in our Chinese words, it is - surname, mature! Well, it seems to be in Chinese concise......

She also grew up with me and Ah Po, and her name is Long Jiahui, because she is the youngest among us, and we usually call her Xiaohui.

These two people just came back from the street, and they seemed to be making an awkward noise, Ah Po was very unconvinced, Xiaohui walked behind him coldly with her shoulders on her shoulders, and her expression was still a little annoyed.

When they saw that Liu Lao Liu was here, Ah Po greeted him: "Lao Liuβ€”"

Liu Lao Liu emphasized: "Call Liu Lao!" Ah Po didn't hear it at all.

Xiaohui smiled and said, "You're here." ”

"It's still Xiaohui who is polite, but smart kids are different."

Seeing that there was an outsider in the house, Ah Po asked me, "Looking for you?" ”

I didn't hide it: "I'll take him back three days ago." ”

Ah Po changed his expression and looked at Lu Weimin again, and asked me carefully, "Are you neurotic?" Can't find your home or have you lost your keys? ”

Lu Weimin glanced at me depressedly, his eyes full of inquiry.

I smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to hide it, it's all your own people." I asked Ah Po, "What's wrong with you and Xiaohui?" ”

Ah Po sat on the stool and sighed: "Don't mention it, go into a jewelry store and shop around, and you actually rob it." ”

I couldn't help but laugh: "Really? ”

"But isn't it, why are you so unlucky, our place is out on average every few years, let me run into it."

I laughed and said, "Those robbers are called unlucky when they run into youβ€”how many people?" ”

Ah Po twisted his face and asked Xiaohui: "Four?" ”

Xiaohui nodded.

"And then?" I asked with interest.

"Originally, I didn't want to be nosy, but those grandsons were not authentic, took the female store manager's youngest daughter as a hostage, and forced her to hand over the key to the safe, I couldn't see it, so I did it."

"How did it turn out?" I asked Ah Po with a smile.

"I lost my arm, and all four of my grandchildren were severely disabled, and they will lie down and wait for the police to save them when we go." Ah Po's tone was as casual as saying that he had picked up a penny on the side of the road.

Xiaohui frowned and said: "I'm just annoying you about this, why don't you use your brain, you will make a bloody storm wherever you go, and in the end, I have to help you find your arms all over the ground!" ”

Ah Po said: "I said no, you insisted on looking for it, do you think I have a rare arm?" ”

Xiaohui said angrily: "You left it in the store and let the store manager explain to the police?" Besides, how can you go out to meet people with less arms? Let the police follow the clues to find us and be surprised to find out that you are Superman? ”

I'm happy.

Abonne said, "You are always justified. He was a little afraid of Xiaohui, so he stopped arguing loudly.

I patted the table and said, "Ah Po, I have to listen to Xiaohui more in the future." ”

Xiaohui glanced at Ah Po and said, "In the future, the ghost will go to the street with him." ”

I smiled: "That's not good, except for you, he doesn't have anyone to be afraid of, Ah Po didn't let others see it when he took his arm, right?" ”

"No, but the little daughter was already scared silly, so I had to use hypnosis to help her forget today's events."

I was surprised: "Hypnosis? When did you learn it? ”

Xiaohui took out a copy of "A Brief Analysis of Hypnosis" from her bag and threw it on the table: "I learned it when they were fighting." ”

I asked, "Who else were there at that time?" ”

Xiaohui said: "There is also a clerk, who was knocked unconscious at the beginning, the little girl fell asleep when we left, and then there was only a female store manager left, I told her that I took Ah Po to the hospital." ”

I glared at Ah Po: "Look at Xiaohui, you don't leak anything, and then look at you, it's just one two hundred and five." ”

Ah Po Heran: "Then what do you want me to do, stand by and watch?" ”

Xiaohui said: "I didn't let you ignore it, I wanted you to find a chance to start again, several times you can obviously restrain that leader, why don't you ignore it when I give you a look?" ”

Ah Po was dazed: "Did you give me a look?" ”

Xiaohui snorted and stopped talking.

I understand that Ah Po must have deliberately ignored Xiaohui's eyes, he is a person who loves to be very lively, and if he has the opportunity to fight with four people at the same time, he will never fall behind.

Lu Weimin listened dumbfounded, and asked carefully for a long time: "You guys...... Is it a joke? ”

Ah Po walked up to him with a serious face and said, "Since you already know us, I'll give you a show." Saying that, he violently pouted the forearm of his left arm with his right hand, "Gaba", the back of his left hand was attached to the elbow joint, Ah Po shook the broken arm into several pieces in front of Lu Weimin's eyes, Lao Lu screamed in fright, sat on the ground, Ah Po laughed, and then connected the broken arm and returned to the original place alive.

I cried and laughed, "Don't make a fuss, we should go too." "Actually, I understand that Ah Po is putting pressure and deterrence on Lao Lu, this kind of thing is too suspenseful, once it is exposed, we will never be at peace.

At this time, Aunt Meng poked her head in and said, "Xiao He, in the afternoon, someone from the TV station came to send the set-top box, and I need the assistance of our neighborhood committee, who do you think you need to call for help?" ”

I hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry about it, just have a few of our little brothers here." ”

"Then don't be late, they'll be here at two o'clock." After saying that, he left.

I took one last look at my watch and said to Lu Weimin, "Let's go, I'll send you over just in time to send the set-top box." ”

"How to go......" Lu Weimin asked tremblingly.

I went over and grabbed him by the arm and said, "Just hold me tight." ”

Xiaohui worried: "Did you go 3 days ago?" It's not dangerous, is it? ”

I was relieved: "Xiaohui knows that it hurts - don't worry, it's not the first time." ”

Xiaohui said quickly: "I want you to help me bring me an evening newspaper from 3 days ago, I remember that there was an article on the subpage about hypnotism, but unfortunately the newspaper made me lose it." ”

I'm speechless......

I tugged Lu Weimin and said, "Are you ready?" If you feel nauseous for a while, close your eyes, it won't be long, where was the last time you and your daughter saw you? ”

Lu Weimin grabbed my arm hard, his palms were full of sweat, and he said nervously: "Starbucks coffee on the boulevard." ”

"Let's go!" I dragged him hard, shouted, and used all my "power" to stop time, and then go backwards, the people and things around us instantly became ghosted, Ah Po, Xiaohui, and Liu Lao Liu disappeared one after another, and the light on the floor and walls in the room, the tables, chairs and benches were changing rapidly at an incredible speed, repeating their state of change in three days.

People think that time rewind is mysterious, because they can't control it, it's not difficult to rewind time, it's the same as walking upside down, the only thing that is uncomfortable is that you will get dizzy when you walk fast, and I vomited the first time.

There are three things to keep in mind when taking people back in time: first, this person must be someone I haven't seen before; Second, not too many people know what this person did three days ago; Third, the maximum length of the statute of limitations is 3 days, which is 72 hours. This is not a rule I stipulate, but three taboos, as long as one does not meet even if I want to take him back, I can't do it, this is probably a kind of constancy in the dark. In particular, the second one, which is a factor that can be flexibly mastered, is also the most dangerous one, because going back and coming back again is equivalent to modifying someone else's life file, so the more people who knew about it three days ago, the greater my workload - making memory changes for those people will automatically consume my strength, and I can't bear to have a certain number of people. Last year, a celebrity surnamed Chen broke out a nude photos scandal, in fact, he later found me by a mysterious way and wanted me to help him go back, but didn't it cost me my life - at that time, tens of millions of people had seen his photos.

Fortunately, nothing has gone wrong, because I rarely use this power myself, and there is actually a fourth constraint: with my current strength, I can go back at most once a month.

Lu Weimin's turkey girl was not even worth half a dime before she recognized him as her father, and no one would pay attention to her life or death, and the other two conditions were also met, so I agreed to help him.

Lu Weimin closed his eyes tightly at first, but after a while, he found that he was still able to adapt, so he opened his eyes and looked at all this in amazement, and I smiled at him: "The adaptability is good." ”

"Hehe, maybe it's because I fly a lot."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Please keep what you have just seen and heard confidential from us. ”

"I know, I understand...... None of you are ordinary people. ”

"None of us are human."

……

Time is still going backwards, and the offices of the neighborhood committee are sometimes sun-drenched and sometimes dark.

I suddenly noticed that Lu Weimin's face was terrifyingly pale, and I hurriedly asked, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

Lu Weimin pursed his lips tightly and said for a long time: "I am nervous when I think of seeing her again!" ”

I pursed the corners of my lips, amused to myself.

Finally stopped, the place is still the neighborhood committee, the surroundings are quiet, looking out, there is no one on the street - because this is 3 days ago, no one I have seen before can appear here, Aunt Meng and they are now about 3 days later to prepare to install the set-top box.

When we walked out of Wangfu Street, there were suddenly more talents, and I told Lu Weimin: "Try not to talk to anyone." ”

For them, Lu Weimin and I are people from the future, and our words may disrupt their lives in the next 3 days, and trying to get them back to the previous track will still consume my strength.

I reached out and flagged down a taxi and told the driver, "Boulevard, Starbucks coffee." ”

The driver started the car and began to chatter, and I laughed but did not answer some of his questions, and Lao Lu was glared back by me several times out of politeness.

Lu Weimin looked at his watch and said anxiously: "It's half past one soon." ”

The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "In a hurry?" ”

Lu Weimin, who wanted to speak, finally shut up under my gaze.

The driver said while driving: "Actually, I want to be fast, it's fast and fuel-efficient, eh, I heard that oil prices are going to rise in the next few days, and I don't know if it's true." ”

I smiled and said, "It's true, it's going to go up tomorrow." ”

……

When we arrived at Starbucks, I asked Lu Weimin to get out of the car first, I paid the driver, and then I also came down, and Lu Weimin asked me in a low voice, "Where is he going now?" ”

"It doesn't matter, he'll be back to his original trajectory when we're back in 3 days anyway, and he'll forget about us."

Lu Weimin said apologetically: "And you have to pay for all this?" ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm selling regret pills, the curative effect belongs to you, and I'll take care of the side effects-is that your daughter?" "I saw a dirty turkey standing under the stop sign at the busy street, looking around, this should be Lu Weimin and his daughter have been broken up for a while, the turkey is irritable, it seems that she wants to cross the road quickly, if we leave her alone, she will be hit and killed by a car again.

Lu Weimin looked into the distance with my hand, speechless, I pushed him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, no matter how you take care of her, I can't do anything if she dies again." ”

Lu Weimin ran forward and hugged the turkey in his arms fiercely under the surprised eyes of passers-by, the turkey was a little dazed and began to struggle subconsciously.

I walked up to a newsstand and asked, "Three days ago...... Uh, is there an evening newspaper for today? ”

The aunt who sold the newspaper handed me a copy, and I opened the sub-page and saw that there was a column that read: "Hypnosis, Science or Superstition?" 》……

The fatal one and a half has passed.

At the corner of the street, Lu Weimin and his turkey daughter have been hugging for a while, Lu Weimin put the turkey's head on his shoulder, and then held it up and looked at it for a while, and the cycle continued, he was excited, crying and saying something quickly, and the turkey suddenly screamed: "Damn, you finally recognize me?" ”

I sighed and walked forward slowly: "Congratulations, father and daughter finally recognize each other." ”

Lao Lu hugged the turkey and looked at me with a vicissitudes in his eyes, which was indescribable. After a long time, he said astringently: "I don't know what to say, thank you so much." ”

I smiled and said, "My mission is done." ”

Lao Lu nodded and said, "I will let someone send you the money." ”

…… I have a really strong comprehension, and I know that I am looking for him to sign an order. I slapped him on the back, and the sky seemed to flicker.

"Shouldn't we go back?" Lao Lu hugged the turkey and asked without letting go.

"Where?"

"Three days later!"

I chuckled, "It's been 3 days now. ”

Lu Weimin raised his head violently, only to find that the people on the station sign had completely changed, and the newsstand behind us had also changed from an aunt just now to an uncle, and in an instant, we had synchronized with the world.

I've taken that shot just now, and I've taken us back to the present three days later.

Lu Weimin felt the collapse, and held the turkey's head pityingly and said, "Dad will never let you leave me again." ”

The turkey squinted at the bottom of her eyes and didn't know what she was looking at, when she pointed to a speeding sports car on the road and shouted, "Dad, I want that." ”

Lu Weimin: "That's not good enough, Dad wants to buy you the highest-grade Ferrari." ”

I was thundered and waved at the father and daughter: "Let's go, you can reunite." Then I whispered in Lao Lu's ear, "Your baby daughter must have thought that she was still alive 3 days ago, as for how to explain it, you can think for yourself, okay, I should go back to send the set-top box." "I think this problem should not be difficult for Lao Lu to solve, a ruffian child will never care about time, she may not even know what day of the week is today.

Lu Weimin nodded at me slightly, relieved and happy.

I had barely walked two steps when I heard the turkey's voice shouting, "Dad, who is that?" Is that your little brother? ”

Lao Lu hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

I let out a long sigh, Lao Lu has such a problem and worships the golden girl, and he will be able to bear it in the future, doesn't he want to have a child who has to go to the public security bureau every day to fish him out - let's wish him success.

Leaving them, I felt extremely tired and weak, and according to Lao Lu's words, the time to pay the bill - from 3 days ago to the present 72 hours, the memory of all those who have touched the turkey will be erased. Including: the police who took her to the hospital, the doctors, individual onlookers (some of whom forgot after a glance are not counted), the Civil Affairs Bureau personnel, and of course, the driver who hit her.

The accounts of these people were all counted on my head, and I felt that my strength was quickly drained, but fortunately, there were really not many people, and it was quickly relieved, but I was still so weak that I didn't even have any strength.

That's why I'm very cautious about the second taboo. If there were more people, I would have hung up a long time ago.

It's not so much that I'm erasing their memories, it's that I'm a time-stealer, I'm stealing a little bit of their life, a little bit of memories.

Later, I finally stopped a taxi, and I weakly said "Wangfu Street" to the driver and then closed my eyes.

The driver started the car and started chattering. He said: "Hey, the price of oil rose the day before yesterday, and I should have stored two barrels first." ”

I opened my eyes and saw that I was happy: Isn't this the buddy who just sent me and Lu Weimin?

But he doesn't know me anymore.

Xiaohua seems to have erased people's memories has always been a very despicable and serious thing, and people with amnesia are absolutely pitiful and hateful, but He Anyi is a demon, so he doesn't have so many worries, erasing people's memories actually involves a butterfly effect, which will be explained slowly in the future.
