Chapter 6: Fleeting
"I had a similar dream, and I was convinced of its authenticity at the time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This can't be some coincidence, maybe it's a clue to the next mission. Luo Yasen said.
"Well, that's how it should be. Everyone should pay more attention these days to see if there will be similar dreams or hallucinations again, and then, summarize them. Shi Yuan said.
Everyone nodded.
Shi Yuan sighed and continued to eat breakfast silently.
One task after another, it's breathless. The last mission has just ended, and the next one will be coming soon. The strange hallucinations that have appeared recently are likely to be related to the next mission, and Shi Yuan judged that within twenty-four hours, they should receive a mission text message. However, they can only wait until they receive the text message.
After eating, Shi Yuan took out a notepad and recorded the extremely real hallucination. After recording it, it occurred to him that he had a similar hallucination before, when he turned off the lights and looked back at his other self. After checking with several others, he noticed that others had similar hallucinations, so he made a note of the incident.
"Could there be any pattern or clue?" Shi Yuan muttered to himself, comparing the contents of the two hallucinations.
However, no clues were found, and Shi Yuan had no choice but to give up.

"It's really strange, brushing your teeth, washing your face, and skincare, why did it take half an hour to do such three simple things?" Yuchun looked at the time on his phone and was puzzled.
Every day she has similar questions.
Especially at night, the situation is even more serious.
Washing up at night, removing makeup, brushing teeth, washing face, skin care, just a few things she thought she should use for at most fifteen minutes, but in fact it took about forty minutes each time.
"What the hell is going on?" Her brows furrowed, incredulous.
When she finished work early, she came home at 7 p.m., and watched videos on the Internet for a while until 10 o'clock. At this time, she will start to prepare for bedtime, tidy up a little, and then get up and go to the bathroom.
However, it is such a small thing as "tidying things up", which she thinks will not be used for ten minutes, but it will always be used up for nearly an hour in the blink of an eye.
Ten o'clock.
Eleven.
Like a moment, an hour is fleeting. When she tried to recall, she found that it was as if she had done nothing at the hour, as if this part of her life had been sucked out.
Then, at eleven o'clock she began to wash, and another forty minutes passed.
The memories were blank, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall what had happened during that time that seemed to have been taken away.
This had been going on for several years, and she was very troubled.
Finally, she decided to install a camera and record her actions during this time, at least to know what she did and why she couldn't remember anything.
She is a doer, and as soon as the idea came to her mind, she immediately took action and bought a webcam from a nearby mall. Instead of placing the camera on her computer desk, she mounted it in a corner of the ceiling of the room, looking down over the room, which would expand her field of view.
"Let's try what I did when I washed up at night." Yuchun muttered to himself in a low voice, adjusting the camera.
After adjusting the camera, the time happened to be eleven o'clock, and she took toiletries such as washbasins and toothbrushes and a plastic bucket for dirty water to the bedroom, planning to solve it in the bedroom.
"I'll see if time will pass so quickly." She said.
Pour water, brush your teeth, pour water, wash your face, pour water, skin care.
Check the time on your phone again.
Eleven forty-two.
She frowned, turned around and turned on the video she had just recorded.
Soon, the video opens and she sees herself.
At first everything was normal, she poured water into her tooth cup and began to brush her teeth.
However, during her brushing process, she would stop every now and then for about two seconds before resuming brushing.
"Why don't I remember to stop?" She became more and more confused.
She felt like it only took a minute to brush her teeth, a minute and a half at most, but on video, she brushed for five minutes.
Could it really be that something is wrong with my sense of time? I've always thought I'm doing things fast, but it's actually slow, but I just think it's fast?
Her brow never furrowed.
After brushing her teeth, she poured warm water into the basin and began to wash her face.
Before that, she had always thought that she would not wash her face for more than three minutes. With this in mind, she carefully continued to watch the video.
Again, just like when she brushed her teeth, she would stop every now and then, also for about two seconds, and then continue washing.
It took at least fifteen minutes to wash my face.
"How could I wash my face and wash it for so long?" Her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe her eyes.
However, the progress bar at the bottom of the video faithfully records the time, not a single second.
It took at least 25 minutes to brush my teeth for 5 minutes, wash my face for 15 minutes, and pour water very slowly in between.
Next up is skincare.
She went over to the dresser and picked up the toner.
This time, she paused longer than before.
Suddenly, she sat up straight.
She saw that the self in the video turned her head to look behind her, and at this time, her face happened to appear in front of the camera.
She gasped and nearly fell to the ground.
In the video, her expression is dull and her eyes are scattered, like a lifeless corpse.
"Impossible!" She jerked her head to look at the dresser, where she had just been sitting.
She didn't remember looking back, and she didn't remember the lifeless look she had ever had. She felt her heart beat fast, like a water pump.
Suddenly, something occurred to her. She pulled the video back a bit and maxed out the video window.
If there is nothing special, there is no reason why a person would switch expressions in an instant when they are alone. She remembers looking in the mirror when she first took care of her skin, and her expression was very normal, without any signs of sluggishness, and she was even smiling. There's no way she's going to suddenly become sluggish the moment she turns her head, and then instantly regain her smile when she turns her head. If you hear something unusual, the expression on your face should not be sluggish, but nervous or confused.
Smiling, sluggish, smiling...... Isn't this process too weird?
The more Yuchun thought about it, the more she felt that her hairs stood on end, rubbed her eyes, and stared at the video.
What she looked at was the mirror in the video. She wanted to see if she was smiling or if she had been wearing a dull expression.
