Chapter 105: Ghost Flight: Re-entry to the Illusion
"What if, what if the lightning strikes the plane?" The middle-aged man asked worriedly.
The old man reprimanded: "I'm afraid of a fart, the current will flow down the casing, and the discharge brush at the tip of the wing will release the charge into the atmosphere." Unless you stand on the fuselage, you can't even be powered by electricity! ”
The middle-aged man sighed: "Fortunately, it's an international flight, if it's a domestic plane, I can't believe it, I'm scared to death." ”
"You fart!" The old man was furious, "You have been doing this for decades, and I have flown and repaired airplanes, what kind of situation have you never seen?" Not to mention thunder and rain, there are even worse weather, but domestic flights have not had serious accidents for nearly 20 years, do foreign countries have the ability? ”
"Okay, okay, you have the final say." The middle-aged man said impatiently.
Hearing this, I suddenly realized that this was an opportunity. The old man in the back row sounded like an expert, and he had just mentioned the plane accident, so maybe he would know what I wanted to investigate.
I hurriedly turned around and asked, "Old man, forgive me for taking the liberty of doing what you do?" ”
I only heard the old man proudly reply: "When I was young, I was called to become a national pilot, and after I retired, I took the license and worked as a maintenance engineer for most of my life." ”
"Then do you know about the domestic aviation situation, such as some accidents that occurred in the early years, can you still remember?" I then asked.
"I've been paying attention to the news in this area, and I can remember the big impact."
After getting the old man's affirmative reply, I had a little bottom in my heart, so I cut into the topic and asked: "Longhua Airlines, do you remember any large-scale air crashes?" ”
"Longhua Airlines...... Yo, it's been a long time, why do you ask it? The old man looked at me with some caution.
I had to lie casually and say, "I have a friend who wants to be a pilot there, and I'm curious, so I just ask." ”
"I think it was '02 or '03." After dispelling his doubts, the old man recounted, "At that time, it was a flight from Long Province to Hai Province, and the cabin pressurization system and cabin oxygen system failed at the same time, and in just ten seconds, all passengers were hypoxic and shocked, and finally died. When I went back, both the pilot and the engineer in charge of maintenance were sentenced, so I was very impressed. By the way, there was a ...... at the time."
"Okay Dad, don't talk about these unlucky things." The middle-aged man was a little dissatisfied, and then accused me again, saying, "You kid too, what are you asking nonsense." ”
"I'm sorry, sir, the child is not sensible." When the teacher heard the noise, she quickly turned around and apologized for me.
"It's so big, it's time to speak."
The anger of the middle-aged man has not subsided.
He's angry, I'm still angry, I'm talking about being interrupted at a critical point, what else was there at that time?
"Sir, is it okay to turn around and put on your seatbelt and sit down?" At this time, the young flight attendant also stepped aside and reminded me in a friendly way.
I glanced at her, still with a comfortable smile, and when I was seated, she was gone. But I noticed that she would peek at me from time to time, probably because I was always making moths, so I was paying more attention to me. It's like in an exam room, where the invigilator often pays attention to certain students, and I just felt that kind of gaze during the final exam.
I calmed down and continued to ponder the clues of the illusion. If the old man remembers correctly, those "people" in the illusion should have died sixteen or seventeen years ago, why do I still see them today? What is the connection between this air crash more than ten years ago and the plane crash that I predicted?
I closed my eyes slightly, and once again remembered whether there were any other clues in the illusion just now, but unfortunately I still found nothing, I had too little information.
When I reopened my eyes, something unexpected happened - I was in the illusion again.
This reminds me again of the first of those three puzzles - how did I get into the illusion? In other words, what was the trigger for me to enter the illusion, I guess it must have been triggered by something, otherwise it can't be random, and you can let people in whenever you want, right?
"The First Evolution"
But this is not a priority, I must hurry now, because the illusion could disappear at any time, and I believe that there must be valuable clues in it, not only related to the plane crash of that year, but also to prevent the accident I foresaw.
When I opened the yin and yang eyes again, the first thing that caught my eye was a couple next to me, the wife also held a small baby in her arms, and they were playing with the baby together. I'm sitting in the aisle now, and I look at the seat number above my head, it's 16D.
I watched the couple closely, especially when I saw the baby, and I had a strange feeling that I seemed to be familiar with him, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. In fact, I couldn't have seen them, because they were about to die, and I was only a few months old at the time.
Yes, I fixed the time of the crash because the magazine cover in the back pocket of the seat said May 2002.
On the other side of the aisle was a woman in her thirties, dozing off in a chair. Sitting inside her were two ordinary-looking men, one reading the newspaper and the other staring out the window.
Then I left my seat and watched each one row by row, trying to find them
Look for clues. Oddly enough, even though I knew everything about what each of them looked like, looked like, and was doing, I couldn't find any connection to the flight I was on seventeen years later.
What can be the connection between two different airlines, two different routes, and a seventeen-year gap?
I saw the flight time on one of the passenger's tickets, and the current time on the cabin TV, and the plane was about an hour away from its destination. That is, during this time, there will be an accident on the plane.
I don't know how long I'll be able to stay in the illusion this time, but I'm not worried, because since I can get in a second time, there must be a way to get in a third or fourth time. It's just that time is running out for me in reality, and the hell knows how long it will be before the wreck I foresaw will happen.
The route of the voyage was broadcast on the small TV from time to time, and I stared at it for a long time, and suddenly a bold idea came to me.
I grabbed a random magazine, and it usually had the thing I'm looking for. Page 1, Page 2...... Found it, sure enough!
I drew the route from Guangzhou to Cairo and the route of this flight, and the location of their intersection is not too far from Guangzhou. Roughly speaking, the time it took to fly from Guangzhou to the intersection position was about the same as the time when I first entered the illusion after the violent bump just now.
Could it be ...... The reason why all this happened was that our plane coincided with this ghost flight across time and space?
As I came to my conclusion, the dozing woman across the aisle woke up, seemingly anxiously searching for something. After searching around to no avail, she walked to the bathroom door, knocked lightly, and then said a few words to the people in the bathroom, and then returned to her place. It's just that I'm too far away from her to hear what she says.
When the woman returned to her seat, the look of urgency on her face disappeared, and it was replaced by a relaxed face, as if a treasure had been lost.
By the way, there was one less person in the cabin, could it be the one she was looking for?
The original passenger in seat 16D was gone, and never from the two times I entered the illusion. In this way, it seems that this person has been in the bathroom all the time.
Could this be an important clue?
As soon as I found out about it, I went from my illusion to reality. I saw that the young flight attendant was recycling garbage at our platoon, so I reached out and handed her my garbage and my wife's garbage, and she politely said "thank you".
I had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized something.
