Not only that, but they also pay special attention to their image.

Every once in a while, they would take a small mirror out of their pockets and look at themselves.

Then they talk to each other, and they always ask each other if "he" looks old again.

But these people don't stay home all the time, they have work to do.

But the strange thing is that they all have the same job, which is to take care of the baby.

In everyone's room, there is a baby cot.

There was a very ugly-looking baby lying on the bed.

Every baby looks the same, sometimes they cry, sometimes they laugh like old people.

Those people were very concerned about these babies and at the same time they were terrified, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to take care of them.

On her third day here, she suddenly noticed a strange thing, and that was that many of her friends' families were much older than they were on the first day she came.

At least five or six years old.

Not only that, but even her friends seem to be much older than her.

With this collective aging, her friends and family members also became infiltrated when they looked at her.

It's like a pack of wolves dying of starvation and finding a fat sheep.

Although her friend didn't admit it and enlightened her to not let her think about it much, the rising fear still made her decide to buy a ticket to go home.

She told her friend about the idea of going back.

Her friend was very angry when she heard this, saying that she had only been here for a few days and was going back, and that she had not treated her as a friend at all, and had to let her stay for a few more days.

He also said that he needed her help.

"Help? Is it for you to take care of those babies? ”

Qin Ming was worried about the hotel room and being manipulated by Wang Jing and them, so he was not in a hurry to go back with Lin Mumu, but stood outside the revolving door of the hotel and chatted.

"Well, she said that her aunt hasn't been doing well lately, so she wants me to help take care of it for two days.

After that, they will find a way to find someone.

I thought that since she had spoken, she would have to let me stay for two more days, and that it would be fine for me to do a small favor, so I agreed.

Seeing that I agreed, my friend was very happy and took me to the mall in the evening to buy a few clothes.

The next day, she came to my room with a baby in her arms.

And in the room where I stayed, I also got a baby cot.

I was a little scared of the baby, because the baby was like a monster, with his teeth open at such a young age, and his eyes were usually closed, but as I looked at him, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were turning very quickly in his sockets.

I told my friend that I didn't seem to be doing well.

But she said it was nothing, just take care of him for two days, and anyway, it was very simple. ”

"Have you been in touch with your family during this time?"

When Qin Ming heard this, he interjected and asked.

"When I got in touch, they asked me how I was, and I said it was fine, and I didn't want them to worry too much."

When Lin Mumu said this, he seemed very regretful.

Qin Ming lit a cigarette and continued to listen to her.

"The first day the baby came to me, I didn't go anywhere, I wanted to go out with my friend and go out again, but she said there was something wrong today.

I'm not familiar with this place, and she doesn't take me out, so I just stay in my room.

Lying on the bed and watching a movie for a while, I suddenly felt some pain in my neck and wrist.

I subconsciously withdrew my hand, only to find that the baby had climbed into my bed at some point and was biting my wrist with his mouth.

I told him to relent, but he squinted at me and let out a string of old woman's laughter.

I was so frightened that I screamed and tried to find someone to help, but no one came for a long time, so I pushed the baby away.

The baby fell to the floor, and I sat on the bed in a daze, feeling as if I shouldn't have been so rude, so I got down and tried to carry the baby back.

I was unbelievable that when I saw the baby again, it looked like it was a year older.

The originally bare head actually grew hair, and the whole body was bigger.

It didn't even work, he slowly crawled back into the crib himself.

He closed his eyes again.

I thought the baby was a monster and ran out to explain the situation to my friend.

When I came out of the room, I found that the family was downstairs in the living room.

Everyone looked a little older than before, and beside them, there were also a few five or six-year-old children.

They stared at me greedily, and then laughed in unison.

I was very baffled when my friend came over and she looked like a woman in her 30s.

I asked her what the hell was going on.

But she told me to welcome me to the "City of Life." ”

"City of Life?" Qin Ming exclaimed a little in surprise after hearing this.

"Yes, that's what she told me at the time.

She said that people who live here will really feel the passage of life, because everyone has their own life time on their wrist.

Time passes quickly, and if you want to slow it down, you have to work in the city in addition to taking care of those babies.

Earn someone else's life.

Otherwise, in a few months, you will die because of the passage of life.

I didn't believe it at the time, thinking she was lying to me, but when I saw that there was really a string of numbers on my wrist, and it was very fast that I realized that what she said was true. ”

After Lin Mumu finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, Qin Ming looked at her wrist, and sure enough, he saw a string of numbers on it.

It's just that the string of numbers doesn't jump fast, it's slower than normal time.

"That's my time, it's going by very slowly now because I'm in a working position and someone is paying for my time.

It's the ones who arranged for you. ”

Lin Mumu explained.

"You mean, the currency of the city is time?" Qin Ming suddenly thought of a movie he had watched before.

"Yes. Going to any place to spend money is actually spending time. ”

"Then if the people here trick other people in, what benefits can they get, the time reward?"

"That's right. When a new person comes in, they find a new baby and are rewarded with time. It is also the most effective way to slow down aging.

Because of work, the vast majority of people in this city no longer have the ability to spend.

The old people that you see out there, they may have been young people of our age just a few months ago. ”

"It's horrible."

This truth made Qin Ming very frightened, but he didn't feel that this was a city of life, but a city cursed by time.

It's a different space where the laws have been redefined.

It's just that he still doesn't know what the strange babies in the mouths of Lin Mumu and the genetic babies in the mouths of Wang Jing and others are.

"How can I get out of here?"

Qin Ming thought about it and asked again.
