42, explosion

When Lin Shuo activated his ability, everything around him seemed to stand still, and countless illusory timekeeping tools also appeared in his mind.

Countless illusory timekeeping tools frantically advanced, and his consciousness, under the influence of that mysterious power, began to travel along the twists and turns of time towards the future.

Time becomes a unit of length in this moment.

The agreed meeting time with Xu Zhiyuan will be at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, that is, 15 o'clock.

And his ability to activate is around half past nine in the evening, if nothing else, as long as he spans a time span of seventeen and a half hours, it should be the moment to meet Xu Zhiyuan.

And yet—

"Huh?"

When Lin Shuo's consciousness traveled for about fourteen hours under the influence of that mysterious power, he suddenly found that the countless timekeeping tools came to an abrupt end.

It seems that the river of time has stopped, and it is as if the gears of the clock of fate are stuck.

No more moving forward.

Because...... The more distant future lies a dead nothingness.

That is to say-

From this time on, the future him is dead.

"What's going on?"

In this still time journey, there was no concept of time, Lin Shuo's consciousness was startled at first, and then he thought quietly here.

"Fourteen hours later, I'll be dead?"

Lin Shuo thought silently: "The ability to launch is at 21:25, 14 hours later, that is, around 11:30 tomorrow......"

Thinking of this, he suddenly reacted.

"The special plane booked by Yang Qi will take off at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, and if nothing happens, I will be on the plane at half past 11 tomorrow...... Is it ......?"

Lin Shuo didn't think much about it, and from the time of death, he stepped back five minutes, and let the mysterious power let go of his consciousness.

……

In the chaos, Lin Shuo's consciousness came to his senses, and a slight humming noise gradually came into his ears clearly.

He is leaning back on the soft and comfortable sofa seat, and on the ultra-thin full-screen hanging not far away, an action movie is playing, and the 3D surround sound is like being on the scene.

He was in a closed and spacious cabin environment.

Lin Shuo picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table in the cabin next to him and glanced at the time.

11:27,AM

On the sofa seat on his left, Yang Qi, who had changed into a simple white professional attire, was sitting on a jacket on the hanger next to him, a pair of fair-skinned long legs with nowhere to put them, leisurely crossing Erlang's legs, holding a glass of juice in his hand, and his pretty face with exquisite makeup was slightly raised, watching the movie with interest.

On the sofa seat on the right-hand side, Tong Momo, who is wearing a double ponytail and a white skirt like a girl, is leaning on the back of the chair, swaying her legs, as always, non-stop, and without blinking a glance to eat the snacks provided on the plane.

On the chair not far behind him, there was a stewardess wearing heavy makeup, seeing him turn her head, she was slightly stunned, and quickly showed a very licking smile, stood up and walked over, deliberately leaned into his ear and whispered, "Mr. Lin, is there something wrong?" ”

Lin Shuo glanced at her and asked, "How long have you been flying?" ”

"More than twenty minutes." The flight attendant said obediently and softly: "It's about half an hour away." ”

"Hmm."

Lin Shuo nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

The flight attendant couldn't help but show a look of disappointment when she saw that the promising young fire thief didn't seem to want to say more to her, but she could only retreat.

Lin Shuo glanced at the window not far away again, the visor was pulled up, and he couldn't see the situation outside the cabin.

He walked to the window, pulled the visor down, and the harsh sunlight shone in, and the vast blue sky outside the window was far away and clear.

Everything seemed to be fine, and the atmosphere was relaxed and laid-back, with no signs of danger coming.

At least he couldn't see it on the surface.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Qi next to him just withdrew his gaze from the movie and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Lin Shuo was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Although this is a future that does not exist, he still can't bear to tell her that something may be about to happen.

In a few minutes, he would be dead, and how could they escape from the cabin?

What's more, he can't even be sure what danger will happen and how he will die, and how can he stop it?

Minutes and seconds passed.

When the time came to 11:32—

Suddenly, but not unexpectedly, Lin Shuo felt the cabin floor under his feet swell suddenly, and it cracked unbearably in just a moment, only to see the surging and terrifying firelight burst out from the cracks one after another, surging towards him with a devastating impact.

"Boom!!"

In the terrifying explosion, the all-engulfing fire submerged Lin Shuo.

"Original...... Is it a bomb? ”

One last thought flashed through his mind, and a piece of floor shards torn apart by the explosion flew towards him with a terrible impact, dilating sharply in his pupils, slicing his head open in an instant.

……

The dead consciousness returned to reality again from the chaos.

The countless illusory timekeeping tools in his mind disappeared, and Lin Shuo returned to the living room of the villa in the military community, where Yang Qi and Tong Momo were still sitting beside him, everything was like an illusion.

He took a deep breath and said, "Kiki." ”

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, glanced at him a little strangely, and said, "Is it okay to call me Assistant Yang?" Kiki is a little numb. ”

"Now is not the time for jokes, Kiki."

Lin Shuo frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I foresaw the future...... Just tomorrow we are about to take the plane, there was an explosion, it was supposed to be some kind of high bomb installed, the explosion point was under the front cabin where the three of us were, it was visually buried under the floor, and the force of the explosion should be more than 20 kilograms of TNT equivalent. ”

Tong Momo sat up instantly and said in disbelief: "Explosion? ”

Yang Qi also looked at him in shock, and couldn't help but say, "How is this possible?" Even civil aviation planes will be carefully inspected before taking off, let alone the special plane of the Fire Thieves Association, any crew member is an elite trained by the Fire Thieves Association, how can there be a chance for people to plant bombs? ”

"Nothing is impossible." Lin Shuo shook his head slightly, "Any accident is possible, isn't it?" ”

Yang Qi was silent for a moment, then picked up his mobile phone and said, "I'll report to the association now." ”

"Wait." Lin Shuo said in a deep voice: "Don't report it yet." ”

"Huh?"

Yang Qi looked at him and wondered, "Why?" ”

"Don't you think it's strange?" Lin Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Why did we just decide on the itinerary, and the plane we took tomorrow would explode?" Is it a coincidence? ”

"This ......"

Yang Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "To deal with the other staff on the special plane, you don't need to use such extreme means, right?" It should be to kill you, or Momo, or me, but at the expense of the entire person on the plane to be buried, who would be so cruel? ”

"As I said before, the future I predict is derived from the status quo."

Lin Shuo squinted his eyes and said softly: "If the person who planted the bomb really wanted to kill the three of us, then it must be the other party who knew our whereabouts for the first time, and you just booked the plane ticket, and you decided to do it over there, so ...... I was able to predict such a future, and now the bomb has certainly not been installed. ”

He glanced at Yang Qi and said, "Since we can sit on the special plane safely in the predicted future, there will definitely be no accident tonight, when will the special plane fly next?" ”

"Hmm...... It's 11 o'clock tomorrow. Yang Qi thought for a while and said.

"The other party knows our itinerary, maybe they have found the flight information, or maybe they are monitoring your mobile phone."

Lin Shuo frowned slightly, and said: "You report now, the other party has not installed a bomb yet, once it is found that it is a grass startling snake, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to catch the other party, but will also let the other party use other means." ”

"What then?" Yang Qi frowned.
