Chapter 37: The Future Divided in Two (Part I)

Waterfall-like vomit of various colors flew upwards and returned to the mouths of the poisoned students.

The heads of the AD players were lifted out of the garbage cans, and the students in the toilets and balconies fell back indoors.

The five of them sat back at their computer desks, and everything was reflecting at an accelerated pace.

The game reopens.

The lunch box is back on the table.

Five pairs of chopsticks go back and forth between the mouth and the lunch box until the lunch box is filled with food.

Then, the thin boy walked backwards into the dormitory with his back to the desk, and after talking to the AD players, he put away his lunch boxes one by one, and retreated with his back to the security door.

At this point, the perspective has shifted from inside the dormitory to outside the dormitory, no longer centering on the five-person black team in the dormitory, but centered on the thin boy carrying a plastic bag.

The older boys were still retreating, retreating from the dormitory corridor to the hallway, then to the dormitory gate, to the asphalt road, to the boulevard, to the cafeteria door, and into the crowd.

The picture freezes again, the playback ends, and the video continues to play, changing several times, as if the clock hand is turning from clockwise to counterclockwise and then back to clockwise.

The huge cafeteria was full of camouflage green, and countless male and female students in military training uniforms completely filled every inch of space in the cafeteria, and the emaciated boys struggled in the sea of green.

"Five donburburi! Shredded carrot and pork bowl, cucumber and shredded pork bowl, shredded potato and meat rice bowl, tomato and egg rice bowl, and fried fat sausage rice bowl! Pack and take away! ”

The thin boy struggled to squeeze in front of a window, holding the card reader and shouting loudly, but as soon as the words fell, he was squeezed aside by the tall students, and it took a lot of effort to put the student card on the card reader.

After a few minutes, he heard someone shouting at the window that the rice bowl was ready, and the thin boy hurriedly drilled in, picked up two plastic bags and rushed out, rushing out of the cafeteria door and almost trotting towards the dormitory building.

After crossing the boulevard and asphalt road, he was about to walk to the dormitory building, but out of nowhere, a figure wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a mask came out, rushed towards the thin boy, and knocked him down directly.

Colorful rice bowl juice spilled on the floor, and the thin boy's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the man who had knocked him down.

The man didn't look at him, just crouched down and wrote the letter "J" on the ground with a bold marker, then patted the dust off his gloves and strode away.

The emaciated boy could no longer get up, and the scarlet black color spread beneath him, and someone not far away walked towards him out of curiosity, and then screamed one after another.

The video ended, and Fang Ziyu's solemn face was reflected after the screen turned black.

At this moment, Fang Ziyu only had one emotion in his heart: shock! Shocking!

I thought it would be just a routine task with no difficulty, but I didn't expect such a change.

For the first time since obtaining the Future Notebook, Fang Ziyu had encountered such a situation.

What the hell is going on?

Why do future clips of what happened in the dorm room play backwards?

Why did events go so differently after rewinding?

Regardless of whether the emaciated boy poisoned the rice bowl or not, he collapsed in a pool of blood before he even entered the dormitory, and it was impossible for the five boxes of rice bowls to be delivered to the black team of five, and the subsequent food poisoning incident would no longer exist.

One life and five lives are like the famous tram puzzle.

Fang Ziyu was dazed by the sudden change, and was stunned for a long time before he thought of using his mobile phone to rewatch the video.

The twenty-six-minute video, from beginning to end, does not fast-forward, pauses and reverses many times in key parts, and after watching it, Fang Ziyu finally figured out a little clue.

"A future fragment is an event that is about to happen in the future, and it is a key fragment of the event."

Fang Ziyu closed his eyes, twisted his eyebrows and immersed himself in his unique mode of thinking, muttering to himself while recalling all the noteworthy details in the video.

"Up to now, except for the video clips I bought by the Future Observation Index, all the other videos released by Future Tablet have the victim as the central character, starting with the passengers in the No. 310 bus, then the gangsters under Brother Leopard, and then the strange brother and Feng Hao's ex-girlfriend......"

"If the video is a micro-movie, the victim is usually the main character, in the first half of the video, the perspective is locked in the dormitory, because the five-person black team is the victim, and in the second half of the video after the reverse, the perspective is locked on the boy with the meal, because he is the victim."

What does this mean? This means ......"

Fang Ziyu suddenly got up, and when he opened his eyes, his expression was very similar to the boy who was killed in public in the video.

Unbelievable!

is also a future clip, the first half of the video and the second half of the video contradict each other, does this mean that without Fang Ziyu doing any interference, the future was changed by the person who killed the boy?!

If the man had planned to kill the boy at that time and place, the first half of the video should not have appeared.

In other words, in the future that Fang Ziyu first saw, in the original world line, the boy who brought the meal returned to the dormitory smoothly and had a safe journey, while his five roommates would have food poisoning and their lives and deaths were unknown.

But at this moment, there was some kind of external force that had nothing to do with Fang Ziyu - before Fang Ziyu finished watching the video, the person was sitting motionless in the musty room, and it was impossible to have any impact on this incident - participating in it, causing interference, and rewriting this future.

Fang Ziyu imagined a clock, the clock with the hands turning in reverse, and he imagined himself sitting between the clock and the tablet, watching the hands reverse and the video reversal at the same time

When the video is rewind to the victim boy walking into the cafeteria and the picture freezes again, the clock hand happens to return to "12".

Rewinding means going back in time.

When time goes back to before the event, the established future ceases to exist, and everything starts all over again.

This time, the boy didn't make it back to the dormitory, and he became a victim, so he was the central character in the second half of the video, and his five roommates got out of the way, so they didn't show their faces in the second half of the video.

The person who turned this future upside down is the murderer who killed in public in broad daylight!

Fang Ziyu pressed the pause button of the mobile phone video player, staring at the murderer on the screen, and felt a strange feeling that he couldn't explain.

This person seems to be a little familiar.

Who is he?

What was his motive for killing?

Why didn't he appear in the original future?

………………

Dozens of kilometers away, a United Airlines Boeing 377 landed at Lionsgate International Airport in Los Angeles.

A slender teenager strode out of the first-class cabin, and after crossing the covered bridge, he did not follow the flow of people to the carousel to receive his checked luggage, but walked straight into the bathroom with his boarding pass in his hand.

After locking the compartment door, he took a newspaper from his bosom and carefully spread it out.
