"Hello? Ruohan, it's me, don't leave. "After my parents went out to work, I dialed Xu Ruohan's phone number.

"Didn't we make an appointment to go to the Book City today, yes, I know we made an appointment at nine o'clock, and something happened temporarily on my side, so we may not be able to go to the Book City today, let's make an appointment another day, it's not a big deal, okay, goodbye."

After canceling the agreed itinerary with Xu Ruohan on the phone, I ended the call.

After hanging up the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief, I naturally couldn't tell her about Lu Haisheng and the time reset, and fortunately, she was a big grinning character herself, and she didn't ask me for specific reasons, so I didn't need to make up another reason to prevaricate her.

It was Lu Haisheng's idea to cancel the agreement with Xu Ruohan, in order to make time for us to discuss the issue of time reset. I just quickly checked the ending of that book on the Internet, and the murderer was indeed the teacher, and he didn't lie to me.

If you don't think about the whole thing with such a rejection mentality, you will find that many details can prove that what Lu Haisheng said is true, such as he knows my name, for example, he understands my plans for today's itinerary, and for example, he knows where I saw the book last time.

I think I have reason to believe that what Lu Haisheng said is true, and we are indeed stuck in a time reset.

And once you accept the time reset setting, it feels like everything has an explanation. I think the weird feeling I'm having today is also because of the time reset, it's just that I haven't figured out the principle yet.

Looking at the time, Lu Haisheng had been waiting below for more than half an hour. I have a lot to know about the time reset problem, and then I will have to discuss with him how to solve it. It's going to take hours, so we need a place to talk – like my house.

I wasn't familiar with him, though, and even though he was a stranger to me, I really shouldn't have brought a stranger into my house. But I believe he didn't lie to me, and I believe in the existence of Time Reset, so he's not really a stranger anymore, right?

Besides, even if he is lying to me, when the time to reset and the like are all fake, those understandings of me, evidence, etc., are all designed. I don't think a person who can design these things is completely incapable of resisting anything to me. So, I don't have anything to worry about, do I?

I took the key and changed my shoes, and prepared to go downstairs to pick up Lu Haisheng, who was still waiting for me. However, as soon as I opened the door, I was shocked to see a person standing outside the door.

"Why did you come up on your own?" I looked at Lu Haisheng a little stunned, "Didn't you ask you to wait for me downstairs?" ”

"When I saw your parents gone, I came up myself."

As he spoke, Lu Haisheng walked into the house past me and closed the door. When I recovered from my stupor, I found that he had automatically changed into my dad's slippers and sat down at the table in the living room.

You're welcome.

I still felt a little awkward to look at the familiar behavior of a "stranger", but on closer inspection, he didn't seem to do anything inappropriate, so I didn't say anything, turned around and went to the room, took a pen and a notebook, and sat down at the table, directly opposite him.

"Your clock is beautiful."

As soon as I sat down, I heard Lu Haisheng say this, looked up at him strangely, and then looked past him at the clock hanging on the wall. The clock was hung on the wall behind Lu Haisheng, and he could only see it when he turned his head, and he clearly didn't look back when he spoke just now, why did he suddenly say that? Is there any special meaning to this statement? Or is it just a random topic?

"It's just a very ordinary clock, you can see it everywhere." I looked at Lu Haisheng puzzled, "Why did you suddenly mention the clock?" ”

Lu Haisheng was originally leaning on the back of the chair, but after listening to my words and looking at me in silence for a few seconds, he got up from the back of the chair, leaned over to the table, put his arms on the table, clasped his fingers with his hands, and lowered his gaze, "It's nothing." ”

I was puzzled when I saw him look up at me and ask, "By the way, did you have anything special this morning?" Or do you think something is a little strange? ”

"Why do you ask?" I frowned, "Since it's time reset, shouldn't it be the same every day?" ”

Do you think it's strange that my body is doing it autonomously?

"Yes, it should be the same every day, but that's where the problem lies." Lu Haisheng looked at me and frowned slightly, "You came back today one minute and seven seconds earlier than usual." ”

"One minute and seven seconds? Is it only special today? It used to be all the same time? ”

"Yes, only today is special. The only people who are special here are you and me, except for the two of us, as long as the rest of us are not interfered with, what they do will not change. We didn't meet before you came back, and I didn't have an impact on what you would do, so it could only be that you changed something that made you back a minute and seven seconds earlier today. Lu Haisheng said as he raised one hand to support his chin, and the fingers of the other hand tapped lightly on the tabletop, "Time reset will change you, this happened once before, but what has this time reset done to you?" ”

If I have to say anything about the change that has happened to me, the strangest thing today is the voluntary movement of my body, which means that I haven't made any previous moves to grab the bag and stop cutting in line?

I recorded these two actions in my notebook, which were supposed to occur for the first time, in an attempt to analyze the reasons for these two actions. If I was doing the same things over and over again every day, meeting the same people, saying the same things, and thinking the same things, and these were things that had an impact on me, then maybe even though I didn't have the memories of time reset, my body kept those memories and reacted instinctively as a result?

That's probably the most plausible explanation, it's like something like the subconscious, even though I'm not aware of it, but it's real and can influence my behavior. But in that case, there's another problem

"Why do you have memories of time reset and I don't?" I looked up at Lu Haisheng, "Also, you just said that the only people who are special here are you and me, what does this mean?" ”

"I don't know why I'm the only one who has a memory, anyway, I haven't met another person who also has a memory, and no one but me remembers that time has ever been reset." Lu Haisheng's voice was very calm, with no personal emotions at all, just answering my question in a decent manner, "I don't think I need to say much about why I am special, and you are special because you have no mark on your body." ”

Without waiting for me to ask what the sign was, Lu Haisheng took the initiative to continue, "A green sign, the English letter 'e', on everyone's body, neck, behind the ears or other places that are easy to find, only you don't have. And the fact that time reset has an effect on you also shows that you are special. ”

A green sign? I frowned and subconsciously touched my neck. I've never seen any signs, is that only Lu Haisheng can see? What does the "e" stand for? It's China, and everyone has an English letter that I can't see.

I wrote an "e" in the notebook, and then wrote my name and Lu Haisheng's name next to it, and put a question mark.

"What else? What else is there to do? I looked at Lu Haisheng, "What did you originally do?" Have you ever wondered why only the two of us are special? ”

Lu Haisheng looked at me and didn't speak, I looked at him suspiciously and waited for him to speak, I don't know why, I always felt that he seemed to be very depressed, and answering my questions was like a routine. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, what he said was completely unexpected.

"The two of us knew each other before, I mean before the time reset happened."

I looked at him in amazement and was stunned for a few seconds before I said, "But I don't remember that I knew you?" Could it be that time reset not only resets my memories of the day, but also affects my previous memories? ”

Lu Haisheng shook his head, "No, that's not a memory from the past, it's from the future." ”

"Later? What does that mean? The future beyond? How can I possibly have memories of the future? ”

"Because July 21, 2005 is not the real time, the time reset is indeed always on this day, but this day is actually in the past for us."

"Wait, wait," I waved at Lu Haisheng, "what you said is so unbelievable that it confuses me." Let me sort out what you mean, we were originally in the future day? But all of a sudden, it's back in the past - that is, July 21, 2005 today, and the time reset starts today, and there is no way to go to the next day, right? ”

"Yes, that's right."

I raised my hand and stroked my forehead, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated, "So, what day in the future were we supposed to be?" A day later? Two days later? You said we knew each other at that time, so what happened to us to go back in time? ”

Lu Haisheng looked at me, there was no expression on his face, his voice was very calm, but it seemed to be a thunderclap in my ears, "The future day is December 21, 2012." ”

"In 2012?" I was so shocked that I stood up, "You mean seven or seven years later?" ”
