Chapter 46 The Secret of the Twilight Society
"Beijing Grand Theater..."
Isn't that the theater where I was working at that time?
Chen Ling remembered that the day she was hit by a chandelier and traveled through time, it was suspected that she had been hit by an earthquake... so she really came back?
At the same time, a group of pedestrians stopped and pointed at the screen.
"Red meteor?"
"Speaking of which, I seemed to have seen it this morning... and it went by in a flash."
"Oh, why didn't it hit the earth? Let's destroy the world quickly. I really don't want to go to work..."
"What the hell is this extremely small area earthquake? You didn't feel it at all in the morning? You're not really just focusing on those few buildings, are you?"
"The news said it was caused by changes in magnetic poles... forget it, it didn't shock me anyway."
"..."
As the news break ended, the building's screen jumped back to advertisements. Everyone only paused for a moment before turning and leaving.
Only Chen Ling stood there alone, thoughtful.
Red meteor...
So, is it possible that my time travel is also related to this meteor?
A bus passed by Chen Ling, which pulled him out of his chaotic thoughts. He looked at the red "Route 33" sign on the bus, as if he remembered something, and immediately rushed towards the bus.
An afterimage roared across the sidewalk, and he hurried on before the bus door closed.
"Young man, you're quite capable." The elderly driver rubbed his eyes, "I didn't even see how you got here...are you practicing sprinting?"
Only then did Chen Ling react. She lowered her head and looked at her hands, her brows getting tighter and tighter.
[Killing Dance]...brought back by myself? ?
"Young man, scan the code."
As the driver started the bus, he pointed at the machine for scanning and paying with his chin, "Two yuan."
"I..." Chen Ling rummaged through his pockets with both hands, "I don't have any money."
"Scan the QR code to pay. How much does it cost?"
"...and no cell phone."
When she said this sentence, Chen Ling felt that she was a savage who came from primitive society...
"Oh, why are you embarrassing someone else's child? I happened to lose two yuan just now buying groceries, so I paid it for him." On the seat in the front row, an aunt with curly hair took out two coins from her pocket and jingled Stuffed into the box with a bang.
"...Thank you, auntie."
Chen Ling politely thanked her.
"Young man, are you an opera singer? Auntie, I usually like to watch operas. Hey, which role do you sing?"
After hearing what her aunt said, Chen Ling realized that he was still wearing that red opera robe, which was particularly eye-catching in the bus.
"I, I can sing whatever I want." Chen Ling replied awkwardly.
The bus seats were full, so he grabbed the handle and swayed slightly as the bus moved forward, while chatting with his aunt.
As the platforms passed by the window one after another, Chen Ling's heart gradually became anxious. He glanced at the name of the next stop and slowly moved towards the back door of the bus. Once the bus stopped, he quickly rushed off.
Opposite the platform is a community.
Chen Ling took off her eye-catching opera robe and walked straight into the community. She walked through the paths with ease and came to a small high-rise building.
Seeing that this building was safe and sound, Chen Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief... This was his home.
What he was most worried about was that if the earthquake spread here, his parents would end up like him... Fortunately, everything was safe.
Chen Ling walked into the unit door and found that it was covered with white silk. He felt a thump in his heart and immediately got on the elevator and headed to the ninth floor.
As the elevator door opened, a burst of crying reached his ears.
"Caiyun... stop crying. If you keep crying like this, what will happen to your body..."
"Yes, if Ah Ling were still alive, how heartbroken would it be to see you like this?"
"Ah Ling is a good kid, but fate is real... sigh."
Chen Ling stood blankly in the elevator, looking through the half-open door, she saw many figures surrounding a middle-aged woman, expressing regret and comfort.
Chen Ling knew them. They were his relatives in the capital. His seven aunts and eight aunts were all here, and the woman surrounded by them was his mother.
The middle-aged woman held a black-and-white photo in her arms and was already crying.
The figure in the photo...is none other than Chen Ling.
Two relatives stood in the corner, talking quietly.
"Where is Chen Ling's father?"
"I'm still in the hospital, talking about Ah Ling's funeral over there... I said I want Caiyun to come back first to collect her belongings."
"Did you see Ah Ling's... body?"
"I saw it." The relative nodded, "The poor child... had a big hole in his head. It is said that it was hit by the chandelier."
"In the hospital, Caiyun held Ah Ling's hand and cried for more than an hour. Later, he was pulled away by his father..."
"Alas...God doesn't have a good eye."
"Let's go, I advise Caiyun, no matter what, let's make arrangements for A Ling's funeral first..."
"yes……"
Chen Ling stood in the elevator, watching everything like a sculpture.
He wanted to step into the elevator, but he didn't know how to explain it after seeing his relatives and mother... His mind was very confused.
At this moment, the elevator door closed automatically.
As the metal elevator door gradually closed, the door of Chen Ling's house was pushed open, and relatives supported Caiyun and walked out.
Boom——
The elevator door closed, maybe someone downstairs pressed the button, and the car began to sink slowly...
"...Mom." It was only then that Chen Ling, with pale lips, shouted the word hoarsely.
He looked at his reflection on the metal elevator door, and the image of his mother kneeling down and crying just reappeared in his mind, and he felt his heart hurt like a knife...
He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and frantically pressed the button on the ninth floor.
He wanted to see his mother.
However, the elevator continued to sink.
At the same time, the familiar dark green font appeared in nothingness:
[The time limit for No. 129439 has expired]
[Reading Interrupt]
boom--
The elevator car plummeted downwards!
…
"mom!!!"
In the heavy snow, Chen Ling suddenly sat up from the ground.
He was breathing heavily, his pupils dilated unconsciously, he looked around and found that he was still in the mass grave.
"Damn it...what the hell is going on??" Chen Ling came to her senses and couldn't help cursing.
Just now, he almost thought that he had really gone back... but when he opened his eyes, he was still in this bad place!
Chen Ling's eyes fell on the USB flash drive in the snow.
