Chapter 3: The Sun Is White and Red

The sound of explosions in the air still echoed in my ears, but there were screams on the ground; People fled in panic, fearing that they would be the next to be struck by lightning.

After a few moments, cries and cries are still the main melody of this noisy movement, but they are less than before.

The well-trained rescuers recovered from the shock of the explosion early, and they calmly followed the instructions of their superiors, lifted stretchers and first-aid supplies, and hurried to the place where the figures fell; The rest of the assistant police were whistling and shouting loudly, doing their best to maintain order around them.

They are also human beings and will be afraid; But at this moment they can't back down, because in their hearts, there is a being called responsibility.

Something seemed to be ticking in his ears, and Wade slowly opened his eyes to find himself lying in a white, bright room; By observing the surrounding decoration, Wade was sure that the room he was in at this time was the hospital room.

At the same time, he also found the source of the ticking sound, a brand new ECG monitor.

Wade gently pulled out the trachea in his nostrils, he tried to move his body, and when everything felt fine, he began to think.

"I'm not going to be disfigured now, am I?"

"I survived on that plane?"

"It's a pity that I didn't make a flash this time."

After a brief period of contemplation, Wade carefully removed the various devices attached to his body one by one; His hand is light and gentle, as if those wires are some rare treasure, for fear that one negligence on his part will destroy these "treasures".

As the wires attached to the chest were gently removed, the piercing alarm instantly burst out of the ECG monitor, echoing in every corner of the ward; Wade was overwhelmed by the stimulation and immediately slapped him hard, which ended the torture of the eardrum.

Time seems to freeze in this moment.

In this suddenly quiet room, Wade sat motionless on the hospital bed, and his originally somewhat rapid breathing was deliberately slowed down at this moment; He seemed to be waiting for something, like a poisonous snake about to pounce, coiling his body, waiting for the moment when his prey was negligent.

The door didn't open as expected, and there was no sound outside.

"My Tony Wayne Clark, this hospital is too relieved to have patients, has it not come when its heartbeat has stopped?" Relieved, Wade immediately began to complain; He envisioned that when the ECG monitor sounded the alarm, a doctor or a few nurses would break down the door and check on him.

None of this happened, and there wasn't even the slightest movement outside the door; It was as if he was the only one in the hospital.

Once again, Wade was right.

The palm of his hand habitually reached into his pocket, but he found that he was already wearing a hospital gown, and his clothes and other items were nowhere to be seen.

A flash of golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and Wade looked at the light source, and found that the golden mechanical watch was still attached to his wrist, and the slender hour hand was still rotating in the watch; Wade was a little surprised by this, he took off his watch and attached it to his eyes, and through the openwork dial, Wade could see every detail of the watch.

The golden flywheel rotates back and forth, and the kinetic energy generated makes the orderly and closely connected gears begin to rotate slowly; Steadily, permanently pushing the hands on the dial, sweeping over and over again; It's like a complete life, but it's eternal.

"Ahem"

The flabby clockwork has exhausted all its energy with the passage of time.

The flywheel stopped flying, the gears stopped turning, and the three hour hands lost power, resting silently on the twelve-o'clock scale, as if time had frozen forever at this moment.

"Hmm......," Wade snorted; At the moment when the pointer stopped, he seemed to have lost something important, and an inexplicable sense of loss followed.

A tear slipped down his cheek before he knew it, leaving a little watermark on the white sheets; The clockwork tightened again with the turn of Wade's fingers, and the flywheel flew back and forth again...... The soulless being was reborn and continued its unfinished eternal journey.

A tear dripped down his cheek and fell on the notebook, smearing the "w" that had just been written and had not yet been solidified into a piece of pitch black; For the first time, the tip of the pen that was about to fall hesitated, it hovered over the notebook, and after a few moments of struggle, it finally landed on the table with a thud, no longer writing.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the Statue of Liberty, a dazzling golden light illuminating every crack in her bronze skin; It is the trace of the passage of time, and it is the basis for future generations to trace their ancestors.

It is they who have witnessed the birth of the city, and in the end, they will also be the ones who have witnessed the decline of the city.

The neon glow of the Empire State Building shines through the transparent glass to bring a hint of colorful light to the dimly lit room; Colourful lights are reflected on the snow-white marble floor, and then sink into the dark walls under the reflection of the ground, ushering in the inevitable demise.

It was a very simple office, with nothing superfluous, just a desk, a chair, and a newspaper; From this alone, it can be seen that the owner of this office is a person who does not like trouble.

He's sitting there right now.

With the help of the light cast from the window, the room that was once dim has become much brighter; A suave man in a suit and leather shoes sat upright at the table, his hands holding the newspaper still trembling slightly.

The newspaper was today, and the headline was "Comet fell off the coast of Tokyo for unknown reasons, killing tens of thousands of people." ”

The wooden door of the alloy sandwich suddenly made a brief knocking sound; Shortly after the sound stopped, a sexy European woman in uniform and high heels pushed the door open, and with her, the lights of the hallway outside.

As soon as she entered the room, the sexy European woman frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the darkness of the room; But her expression soon disappeared like snow in the sun. A charming smile immediately appeared on his face, which had been dissatisfied before.

"Mr. Catterson, there's an emergency meeting coming up on the board......"

One of the man's hands holding the newspaper suddenly turned to the woman, interrupting her.

"I know, tell them I'm going to Tokyo now, and I'll talk about it when I get back." The light from the window hit the side of his face, and the ever-changing color was much less than the pale blue pupils of his sparkling gaze.

The secretary looked into his eyes, nodded blankly, and then quietly departed, completely devoid of the arrogance he had when he first arrived.

Listening to the sound of the door closing in his ears, a wry smile gradually appeared on the corner of the mouth of the man known as Caiterson.

He looked down at his hand, where a mechanical watch with a golden openwork was working at a constant speed; The orange light outside the window gradually turned a dazzling fiery red, and the golden dial was also dyed with a layer of red.

"Ugh......" Ketterson sighed, then put the golden watch on his right wrist.

He took off his tailored suit and put on a plain, even old-fashioned, dark trench coat; He pulled a ticket to Tokyo out of a drawer and held it tightly in his hand.

The door was pushed open again.

The blinding white light instantly projected onto the ground, piercing Wade's eyes; After a brief period of blindness, he was finally able to see behind the curtains.

The endless plains are dotted with many high-rise buildings; The staggered and complex traffic arteries cut and separated the city like the lines on the book, and there was nothing else in the blue sky except for a round of white and red sun; It's a beautiful and familiar picture, and everything is so normal.

"Wait, the white sun?"

Shocked to realize that something was wrong, Wade rubbed his eyes and stared intently at the dazzling sun. The miracle did not happen, and the sun in the sky was still white and red, dyeing the whole world a faint layer of white.

"Hmm...... The white is red and can be eaten. "Wade was surprisingly calm; The strangeness of the sun did not make such waves in his heart at the moment.

Before this, he had experienced many things that he had thought he could not have experienced, and the change of color of the sun was nothing compared to those things.
