朔 (shuò), meaning new moon, the beginning of January.

……

……

"Ahem......"

Lin Shuo coughed a little weakly, endured the dizziness of the whirling world, tried his best to raise his arm that was gradually numb, barely supported the wall, and slowly walked out of the room.

Then, with his back against the door, he slid down on the floor in a gesture that 'it must be easy if you don't try', and closed the door with his back.

With such a few simple movements, I broke out in a sweat.

Feeling like your body is being hollowed out.

In the room behind her, the sound of a woman being gagged could be faintly heard through the crack in the door.

"It's called fart, and it's not about you, don't call it so graphic, okay?"

Lin Shuo snorted weakly, observing the small wound on the back of his hand and the spreading blue-black, a little helpless.

He glanced out the window again at the darkening darkness of the night, and with his other hand reached for his phone from his pocket.

The time is November 10, 23:51.

"It's okay, she didn't have time to escape......"

Only then did Lin Shuo settle down, "I can only do it all over again......"

After a while, he turned on the detailed time on his phone, endured the gradually strong dizziness, and watched the time flow minute by minute.

Time moves forward inexorably, towards tomorrow.

And yet—

When the time came to 23:59:59 on November 10, only one second short of entering the next day-

The world in front of Lin Shuo suddenly became extremely dark, and his consciousness became blurred.

When the light returned, Lin Shuo found himself back in the familiar school dormitory again.

He was sitting at his desk under bed number three, the light on the table was dim, and in front of him was a wall with anime posters, and a familiar electronic clock hanging on the wall.

The time on the electronic clock is exactly 0:00:00, and it has entered a new day.

But the date is November 10th!

It's not Singles' Day tomorrow, it's back to the beginning of today!

After returning to the physical state of the day before, the bad feeling of being squeezed dry to the point of bleeding disappeared, and the body instantly returned to the invincible state of Shichijiro.

And Lin Shuo looked calm.

He had experienced this time loop many times.

The city of Subei was trapped on November 10, 2013, for too long.

Since the city was cut off by that mysterious fog, from 0:00 on this day, 23:59:59, it is the end of time, and after the end, the day will start again.

Naturally, including the memory, it will also revert to the original of the day.

It's like an 86,399-second movie with a single track loop mode chosen, which can only be repeated indefinitely and can never move on to the next one.

The city will never see tomorrow.

He is the only exception.

He doesn't lose his memory, but he can't remember exactly how many times he's gone through a time loop.

It's the same start every day, and I'm already tired of numbness.

However, he was looking forward to this time loop, and even couldn't help but be a little excited.

Because...... He finally found hope of leaving the city.

However, there is another daily routine -

Under Lin Shuo's gaze, the time on the electronic clock moved forward by one second again.

0:00:01.

For a second, time seemed to stand still.

Then, Lin Shuo's eyes flickered, and he faintly saw countless illusory things emerging in his mind.

But it was too unreal, and he couldn't see what it was.

In a trance, he felt a mysterious force enveloping his consciousness, passing through the gap of illusory time, as if jumping towards the future.

It's muddy, you can't feel anything.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Shuo's consciousness gradually woke up in the chaos, and his vision suddenly became clear.

In the still familiar school dormitory, he was sitting at his desk under the bed.

In front of me, there was still a dimly lit table lamp, illuminating the anime poster on the wall.

The electronic clock on the wall, the time is still 0:00:1, and the day has just begun.

But...... The date is November 11, 2013!

Singles' Day outside of the time loop.

This is the miracle created by that mysterious power!

Originally, due to the time loop, the city will never be able to enter 'tomorrow', and can only repeat indefinitely on November 10.

The city, and everything in it, is like a prisoner trapped in the cage of time.

And at this time, the mysterious power made him escape from prison!

His consciousness jumped to 'tomorrow'!

Lin Shuo was still very calm, because in the first second of each cycle, he would cross like this once.

It's like eating and drinking.

Then, a slightly teasing voice rang out from the side:

"Brother, I'm sorry, it's just Singles' Day this year, hey, what's the use of being handsome, you're not a single dog yet?"

Lin Shuo turned his head expressionlessly.

In front of him was a smiling young man's face, full of obeisance.

Although he had seen it countless times and was already extremely familiar, he still wanted to punch this face hard.

And so—

"Oh."

Lin Shuo responded casually, and then habitually clenched his fist and pestle it very smoothly.

Before the cheap smile on this face could solidify, it happened to come over, as if it was slamming his fist with his cheek, and he was deformed and distorted on the spot.

The nosebleeds gushing out were like a little red flower of commendation.

"Ouch!"

Roommate Ren Yan snorted in pain, covered his nose and sat on the ground, looking at him in disbelief, as if he was frightened by his punch, and even forgot to fight back.

"Dry ...... Why are you ......" The roommate protested weakly, scolding in his heart that this dog thing must be jealous that I got off the list.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Lin Shuo looked at his roommate with a sincere face and apologized seriously: "Actually, I'm just used to it, it's just a subconscious action, really, I don't have any opinion on you, it's really easy." ”

Ren Yan became more and more confused.

"Forget it, there's no point in talking to you about this...... Lin Shuo sighed and said to himself: "Anyway, this is just a future that can't come, and it's ...... It's going to end too. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the balcony of the dormitory.

In the night, it can be seen that the fog that shrouds the city in the distance is gradually dissipating at this time, like a crumbling cage.

Lin Shuo took out his phone and glanced at the time on the screen.

Exactly one minute passed.

When the cage-like fog completely dissipated, something suddenly changed in front of me—

The light source that came from nowhere quietly covered everything in front of him with a strange light like the arrival of dusk.

In this brilliant twilight-like light, everything in the world began to undergo incredible changes.

The balcony railing in front of Lin Shuo, which had been in front of him for some years, was eroded by the twilight-like light, and mottled rust began to grow on the railing, as if it had gone through a long time, but it was corroded and deformed in an instant.

"Still this is the result......"

He sighed and turned to look again.

I saw that my roommates were also aging at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye in the erosion of this strange light.

The skin is gradually losing its luster, wrinkles and age spots are born, the muscles are atrophiing, the hairline is bald and moving back, the hair is gray and falling out, the clothes on the body are shabby and ragged, and the watch on the wrist is gradually rusting.

Desks, windows, doors, floor tiles in the dormitory, trees outside the window, school buildings, helicopters flying in from outside the city...... Everything seems to have gone through a long time at this point.

Everything is in the light of dusk, towards the end of the years......

The scene was silent and terrifying.

The magic of time is infinitely violent at this moment!

And Lin Shuo didn't change anything, just looked at all this calmly, his expression was unwavering, and he seemed to have seen it countless times.

The brilliant light of dusk tried to erode him, but his body seemed to be shrouded in an invisible layer of protection, barely resisting the terrible erosion of time.

However, he could also feel that his own mysterious power was also being consumed wildly.

"Why do you have to go extinct on Singles' Day......"

Lin Shuo complained heartlessly: "Now, the dog men and women who show affection can be regarded as really 'growing old together'." ”

Soon, when his roommate turned into weathered dry bones, he also clearly felt that his mysterious power was completely exhausted, and he could no longer resist, and in an instant he was completely engulfed by the twilight-like light.

Immediately, he felt black in front of him and lost consciousness.

……

In the chaos, the consciousness that transcends time suddenly returns from the future to the present.

"Again......

Lin Shuo slowly opened his eyes, "Even if there are outsiders, will this city still be destroyed tomorrow?" ”

When he opened his eyes, he was still sitting at the table under the bed in the dormitory, and nothing seemed to have changed.

The time and date on the electronic clock is still November 10 before the time, this day has just begun to move forward, and it seems that the Singles' Day just experienced is just an illusion.

But Lin Shuo understood.

It was the real future, the time travel that he had every day as a 'routine'.

It's just that...... Time is in a loop, and there is no way into tomorrow.

If we enter tomorrow, we will usher in mass extinction!

"Ah Shuo, why can't the network be connected all of a sudden? The phone signal is also gone. ”

At this time, a low-pitched familiar voice came from the bed next to him, and it was Ren Yan, a roommate in the bed next door.

Lin Shuo's face was numb, and he said perfunctorily without looking back: "Don't make it." ”

He glanced at the time on the electronic clock, slowly closed his eyes, and thought quietly.

After a while, Lin Shuo reopened his eyes, and he had already made a decision in his heart: "Even if I can't change the mass extinction, at least I have to leave this city first, go out and then find a way to ......."

He took a deep breath, stood up, picked up the coat hanging beside him, and walked out the door.

"Why are you going?"

Ren Yan, who was lying on the bed, heard the movement, couldn't help but ask, and then glanced at the other two sleeping roommates in the dormitory, and lowered his voice: "It's early in the morning, what are you doing going out again?" ”

After he finished speaking, he was stunned: "Huh? Why do I say again? ”

"Find a girl to play with bondage."

Lin Shuo waved his hand casually, put on his coat and walked out of the dormitory, closing the door with the sound of his roommate's grass.

He took advantage of the darkness to climb out of the dormitory building from the back wall of the second floor and left the school.

……

The night was dark.

It is the late autumn season, and the weather in northern Jiangsu City is also changing rapidly, and the night breeze is cold and quiet.

The sky was overcast and dark, as if obscured by mist, and there was not a single starlight in sight.

Lin Shuo put his hands in his pockets, his face hidden under the hat of his sweatshirt, and walked briskly on the sidewalk by the light of the street lamp.

It's late at night, and the bus has naturally stopped a long time ago, anyway, his destination is not far away, and it is enough to walk.

He didn't lie to his roommates either.

came out so late, he was really looking for a girl to play 'bondage'.

It's just that the girl is too dangerous and won't let him tie it up, so he still needs to gather some necessary tools to be completely sure.

At this time, a couple came in front of the sidewalk, and the boy was still holding his mobile phone to a high place, and the girl could be heard complaining: "Why is there no signal?" ”

Lin Shuo passed by them, but the boy stopped him: "Hey, buddy, do you have a signal on your mobile phone?" ”

But Lin Shuo was as if he hadn't heard of it, and his steps were still the same, and he soon left the couple behind.

The boy's complaint was faintly heard in the night wind: "What's the matter with this man, it looks like we have offended him......"

Lin Shuo left with his back to the couple, unmoved.

It's not that he's cold, it's that he's too lazy to answer.

After all, the question 'Hey, buddy, does you have a signal on your phone?' was the first time that the guy had asked it, but for him, it had already been tens of thousands of times.

He had long since become numb.

Of course, the question he was asked the most was the sentence of his roommate Ren Yan: "Ah Shuo, why can't the network be connected suddenly?" The phone signal is also gone. ”

On November 10, 2013, how many times the day was looped, his roommate asked him how many times, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to.

At first, he would patiently explain and actively discuss with his roommates, such as-

Why did Subei City fall into a time loop after being isolated by that layer of fog?

Why is the time loop from 0:00:00 to 23:59:59 on November 10, exactly one second missing?

Why is he the only one who can keep his memories in the time loop, and does it have anything to do with his mystical powers?

Why is his consciousness able to jump through time and travel to a tomorrow that will never come?

Why is there such a terrible mass extinction when tomorrow comes?

And so on and so forth.

But no matter how interesting the topic is, once it is talked about too many times, it will be boring.

He went from being full of interest at the beginning, to being irritable and speechless, to being nauseous and wanting to vomit, to being irritable and unbearable, and even beating up his roommates, and finally becoming numb and ignorant.

Whatever.

Anyway, I just don't know.
