Chapter 1 The Subway Through Time and Space
"Chen Yi, let's go play." As his name suggests, Luo Xiaoshanren's bear-pawed hands wave in the sky.
"I'm not going." Chen Yi waved his hand sullenly.
Liang Yu next to him was eager to try: "What about the weekend? β
Chen Yi knew that the two of them were worried about themselves, but he still shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't go to see the old man on the weekend." β
As he spoke, he walked slowly towards the subway station.
Liang Yu made a grimace, threw the schoolbag to the bodyguard from afar, and whispered to Luo Xiaoshan: "I don't know if the Chen family can break through this time." β
Luo Xiaoshan sighed disapprovingly. The three of them are excellent friends, but they can't help in the big things that affect the family.
The Chen family was originally a large family in Jiangning, Chen Yi's grandfather Chen Zhongguo, although he was paranoid, but he was in a high position, under his care, the eldest son gave up the pen and followed the Rong, and the second son gave up the pen to start business, and did a good job.
However, a [***] in Xijing completely changed the fate of the entire family.
Chen Zhongguo's gloomy resignation shook the foundation of the entire family and made him feel more shaky wind and rain.
Chen Yi returned home, but his parents still did not come back. They are being run on by banks and their peers, and they are probably fighting hard in the conference room.
Cooking himself a bowl of noodles, he ate it without saying a word.
Thinking back to two months ago, every night I ate was either a big meal cooked by the chef or a loving dinner made by my mother's hands, how could I have eaten instant noodles continuously.
Chen Yi gritted his teeth and said secretly: Don't think about it anymore, you will have to tutor later.
This is also his last cram class.
There is no way, with the previous prosperity of the Chen family, the teachers invited naturally have a prosperous price. Not to mention its academic attainments and status, just the gray hair, a peach and plum all over the world, and the appearance of worrying about the world first, can be called the top.
Moreover, this well-known Professor Hu in Jiangning is not a high-level disciple - with the disappearance of the Chen family's aura, Chen Yi is even farther away from the realm of high-level disciples.
At seven o'clock, the doorbell rang "Ding Dong".
The white-bearded old man, as usual, stepped on a little bit and came to the Chen family.
He was holding a small briefcase in his left hand, full of silver hair, and when he sat on the sofa, he didn't immediately open the lesson plan, but looked left and right for a while before saying: "Today, we will mainly talk about several conservation laws of physics, the time will be relatively long, but it is very important, it is always good to learn more." β
Chen Yi nodded silently.
In the past, he regarded tutoring as a daunting path and tried his best to escape. But thinking that there will be no such opportunity in the future, I can't help but feel sorry for myself.
A lesson is a solid 3 hours.
Professor Hu has devoted himself to the study of education for decades, and his level is quite good, and the content is vivid and expressive, easy to understand, and easy to remember.
Chen Yi listened so seriously for the first time, and the harvest was far better than before.
It's a pity that I never paid attention to tutoring before, but I never had this opportunity again.
"Alright, that's all for today." The white-haired old man slowly closed the lesson plan, took a sip of water, and said slowly: "I remember, you want to be admitted to Jiangning University?" β
"Yes."
"I asked your teacher, and according to your mock test results, Jiangning University is very difficult." Professor Hu's voice was soothing, still with the rhythm of class: "Therefore, my advice is to either lower your goals or study harder. β
The latter sentence is actually a euphemism for him to give up.
Chen Yi understood, smiled bitterly and said, "Going to Jiangning University is what grandpa wants." β
When Chen Zhongguo was a child, his family conditions were very good, but for various reasons, he eventually joined the army, but despite this, his desire to be a scholarly family has never changed. This led to Professor Hu's tutoring and the requirements of Jiangning University.
Suddenly undergoing a big change, grandpa's mood must be extremely bad, and Chen Yi is more and more desperate than ever to be admitted to Jiangning University.
Even if it is an egg hitting a stone, the chances are slim.
Professor Hu has never regarded Chen Yi as his true student, and the slightest sympathy will not change anything. He took a deep look at him, gave him a set of test papers, and got up to take his leave.
Chen Yi sent him to the car without saying a word, and instead of going home immediately, he walked aimlessly down Binjiang Avenue, looking weak, like a zoo monkey attacked by food.
In the college entrance examination war with a total score of 750 points, Jiangning University's requirement is about 650 points, and his score is not up or down, but it is absolutely difficult to reach 600 points. When the Chen family was prosperous, this was not too much of a problem, but now, it is like a moat.
It is difficult to change this with just a collection of test papers, or even a good tutor.
The two "beeps" woke Chen Yi up from his boredom, and when he looked up, he seemed to have run a red light.
Shrinking his feet and retreating to the sidewalk, he saw that the subway station was on his left, and it was still early, so he simply went down inside, ready to go to his parents' company to have a look.
At ten o'clock in the evening, there were few people, and there were 32 waiting gates on the platform that could accommodate eight cars, but there were few people empty.
Chen Yi chose a position close to the tail and stood, his mind was very confused. He thought of the stunned expressions of everyone when his grandfather stepped down, the squeeze on his father's company, and the eldest brother who was still in the army and the little sister in boarding school, and wondered if they were affected......
A strong gust of air blows, which seems to herald the arrival of the subway.
Chen Yi subconsciously stood forward, bowing his head and waiting for the locomotive to stop.
The light on the ground was a little brighter, and there was even a bit of a smell of brilliance. But Chen Yi didn't think much about it, and stepped directly into it.
At this time, he raised his head and found that none of the people who were waiting on the platform had walked into the subway.
Looking around again, there was no one in the whole carriage, there was a lonely piece of paper on the seat, and the overhead light, white with yellow-green, was quite strange.
The last subway has always had very few people, but not to this extent.
Chen Yi simply walked forward, wanting to see what was going on.
The city subway, which is similar to a bus-like train, is about the length of a carriage and is divided into 4 small sections, each with automatic door openings on the left and right. The seat is longitudinal rather than landscaped, leaving more room for people to stand and move around.
When no one is around, it's easy to see what's going on from behind.
With a "bang", when he just arrived at the partition of a carriage, Chen Yi slammed into something.
As far as the eye could see, there was nothing.
"Anyone?" Chen Yi's lips were a little dry, and he raised slightly and asked.
At the same time, he reached out and slowly touched forward.
One inch, two inches ......, half an arm's length distance, a flash of light flashed, and resistance was also felt in his hand.
It's like a transparent light curtain, blocking here.
If you were an ordinary teenager, you would probably be at a loss at the moment, but Chen Yi didn't.
He pushed the light curtain in front of him again, not to break it, but to test its casteβsoft and elastic, indicating that it was not just metal; The deformation due to the force is very small, but it is not impossible, indicating that it is extremely tenacious; There is no touch of electric current, no temperature difference of liquid or gas......
Chen Yi did his best to make himself think, not fear.
However, the results were less encouraging.
There was a sudden tremor under his feet, and a strong force made him lunge forward.
"The train accelerated." Chen Yi immediately turned around and saw strange images flashing through the window.
At first, it is the intersection of two or more colors, and then gradually it takes shape.
Chen Yi gave up the unknown light curtain and walked quickly in the carriage, and the glass on both sides became an alternative screen, and there was a tendency to gradually become clearer.
War!
At the first window, Chen Yi finally saw the clue. It was two groups of naked [***] men fighting, armed with long and short handles, throwing and stabbing at each other, and the picture was deep and wide, enough to be hundreds of people.
The second window was lit with a raging flame, so realistic that you couldn't help but reach out and try it. The next picture turns into a dense thunder and lightning, and a raging wave.
The speed of the car became faster and faster, and the picture was blurry again, and before that, Chen Yi saw the war and the portrait again, but it was not very clear.
He frowned deeply and said to himself, "What the hell is this place?" β
The sound of the brake sounded in my ears.
Chen Yi stumbled and was thrown to the front, and just when he got up, the car had stopped.
"Huh".
The doors on both sides opened with the sound of a jet, and a purple light reflected in the car.
Chen Yi rubbed his head and raised his head, and was immediately stunned.
I saw the dome hundreds of meters high, carved with tens of thousands of square meters of huge murals, and the equivalent of five arches and slender columns, full of thirty or forty stories high, eye-catching glass windows to break down the sunlight into colorful colors, all the way to 10,000 meters away......
The most striking thing is the two huge sculptures, the size of the Statue of Liberty, a man and a woman standing on the left and right, the torches in their hands crackling, igniting the flame of Chengren's height.
This is by no means a subway station, in fact, this building is several times larger than the largest airport hall Chen Yi has ever seen, and the long train, parked in front of one of its arches, is as young as an earthworm.
Chen Yi wanted to poke his head out to look around, but was blocked by the circulating light curtain again.
The sound of neat footsteps sounded from behind him.
Chen Yi was shocked, turned around quickly, and saw a group of gentlemen wearing white high hats and priest's robes and ceremonial robes, standing in a fan shape, bowing and saluting, and said in a loud voice: "Welcome Master." β
