Tiandi Baiju

Zhou Luoyang walked downstairs quickly, the night was getting dark, he couldn't help praying to hurry up, hurry up...

The door of the dilapidated warehouse was ajar, and Zhou Luoyang slammed into it. The inside was empty, dark and full of dust.Zhou Luoyang held his breath and controlled himself not to sneeze.

"Leyao?" Zhou Luoyang said in the dark warehouse, "Are you here?"

"Leyao?" Zhou Luoyang held the phone and turned on the headlights.

The warehouse was exactly the same as when he first came to clean it up. He and Le Yao worked together to clean up the place that day. There were not many things left, and the safe in Grandpa's house was also moved.

Where did they find the Eye of Versatile?Zhou Luoyang vaguely remembered that it seemed to be in a shoe box, but it seemed that Le Yao had already been here, would he bring his father over?No, Le Yao shouldn't have told his father about this, that is to say, he came back to the hotel alone after seeing his grandfather.

He may not stay for too long, and Le Yao is not familiar with Wanshi's environment, so he will go back as soon as possible whether he finds it or not.

Zhou Luoyang walked to the shelf and took down the top shoebox.

"Brother, are you looking for it?"

Le Yao's voice sounded behind Zhou Luoyang.

In the dark, Le Yao was holding the dial, on which was the eye of Versatile, which was shining with fluorescent light.

Zhou Luoyang stopped moving.

"Why did you do that?" Zhou Luoyang said without looking back, "Why didn't you discuss it with us?"

Le Yao didn't speak, but pursed his lips stubbornly. At this time, he was not yet paralyzed, not in a wheelchair, but standing quietly in the dark.

Zhou Luoyang looked back at him, and the light from the phone illuminated a small place in front of each other.

Le Yao is taller than he imagined, he should be more than 1.7 meters.

Zhou Luoyang had hardly seen Le Yao since he was 12 years old. When he saw him again, Le Yao couldn't stand up anymore.Suddenly goodbye, he had a strange feeling.

"Will you believe me if I ask you to discuss it?" Le Yao whispered.

"Why don't you believe it?" Zhou Luoyang didn't try to snatch Versaiti's eye, but whispered, "In your heart, is brother like this?"

"No," Le Yao replied, "No. But it's different. I don't trust Du Jing. He came to you with his purpose all the time."

Zhou Luoyang was silent for a moment. He wanted to explain to Leyao, but he couldn't.

"You misunderstood him." Zhou Luoyang said, "Would you like to listen to my explanation? Maybe this is not the place to explain it. Let's go out first and find a bar to chat? I haven't visited Wan City with you yet."

"Why didn't he come with you?" Le Yao said, "He must be on his way now, right?"

Zhou Luoyang looked at Le Yao. Under the light of the mobile phone, Le Yao's face was a little pale, but he was a very handsome kid. Without the car accident, he looked particularly energetic, wearing the fashionable clothes of young Japanese , very thin, with long hair, slightly blocking one side of the eyebrows, with a very faint sense of unease.

"He hasn't contacted me yet." Zhou Luoyang said, "Le Yao, do you want it?"

Le Yao held the Eye of Versailles and put it back in his coat pocket without answering.

Zhou Luoyang said: "You really want to go back in time and prevent this car accident from happening, don't you?"

Le Yao replied: "Since you know that you can turn back time, none of you have offered to do this for me."

"It's different." Zhou Luoyang replied, "It seems that you misunderstood us deeply. Forget it. Since you don't want to go out, let's talk here, Le Yao. I can tell you the whole thing. Du Jing and I don't know what this means, we just regard it as a sudden strange phenomenon..."

Le Yao walked aside, Zhou Luoyang sat down on the spring bed, and said, "...Come here, Le Yao, sit and talk."

"No," Le Yao said, "I'd rather stand. I haven't experienced the feeling of standing for a long time."

Zhou Luoyang then told Le Yao everything from the day they got the Eye of Versailles to the end.

"That's it," Zhou Luoyang said, "I didn't lie to you, you are my younger brother. I don't want to go back to the past and stop this car accident..."

"Yeah," Le Yao said, "You don't know anything. But what about Du Jing? He does."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Le Yao said: "Shortly after he returned to China, he became clear that he knew that this watch could turn back the time, but he never mentioned that he would go back in time to prevent the car accident from happening."

Luoyang was dumbfounded next week, and he couldn't refute Le Yao.

"It doesn't matter," Le Yao said, "Anyway, I already got it, and it has nothing to do with you."

"What deal did you make with the Russians?!" Zhou Luoyang's voice became severe.

Le Yao didn't answer, and suddenly said: "Your tone has changed a lot, brother, since we met again, you seem to be a different person."

"I..." Zhou Luoyang really had nothing to do with Le Yao. He tried to explain, but found that he couldn't convince Le Yao at this time.

"Because I'm fine now, right?" Le Yao said, "Because I'm not in a wheelchair and my limbs are healthy, so you changed your attitude and face, unlike the year when you took care of me Li, for pity on me, never speaks loudly to me."

Zhou Luoyang said, "You are very strange, Le Yao."

Le Yao took a few steps back and retreated into the darkness, but Zhou Luoyang didn't get up and go over.

"You shouldn't be like this." Zhou Luoyang whispered in the dark with guilt, "I thought you always knew that brother loves you."

"But you love Du Jing more." Le Yao replied.

Zhou Luoyang said, "Can these two feelings be compared?"

"Can't compare?" Le Yao became excited, "You are even willing to die with him. When you said that sentence, did you ever think about it? What should I do? What should I do?!"

Zhou Luoyang looked at Le Yao with a smile in his eyes, but in the darkness, they couldn't see each other's real expression, and they were surrounded by the long dark night.

"Do you feel betrayed?" Zhou Luoyang said.

Le Yao replied bluntly; "Yes, brother, I don't have any expectations of you anymore, I have to fight for what I want."

It was also on that day that he finally understood that Zhou Luoyang was just a passerby, and his only hope was his father and mother who had long since left.

"But, Leyao, my younger brother," Zhou Luoyang said, "one day you will realize that the fate between people is always so short and..."

"Don't say it again." Le Yao said, "I will not change my mind, brother, when you said that to Du Jing, you are a person who is destined to leave in my heart."

Zhou Luoyang: "But I'm still here."

Le Yao didn't answer any further. After a long silence, Zhou Luoyang finally said, "Give me the Eye of Versailles, okay?"

"No," Le Yao said, "it's in my hands now."

Zhou Luoyang stared at the darkness. He knew that Svatanlovski must have reached some kind of agreement with Le Yao—maybe Le Yao told him that he knew the whereabouts of this thing and proposed a condition.So Swatanlovsky agreed to him and asked him to go back to Wanshi and find the watch.

The exchange is naturally...

"The Russians promised me," Leyao said, "that they will not hurt you again. After this matter is over, as long as father and mother can survive, I will hand over the things to him at that time, which will be the best the result of."

"You can't give him the watch," Zhou Luoyang said, "he will kill you and everyone who has been certified! And Leyao, you can't save their lives unless you are willing to kill!"

Le Yao made a sound in the darkness, and seemed to be retreating quickly.

Zhou Luoyang got up and said, "We have to wait for Du Jing to come. We'll figure out a way. Give it to me now. It's impossible for the Russians to let you do things on your own. In case his monitors come soon."

"Stay away from me!" Le Yao suddenly said, "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Luoyang knew that Le Yao was not his opponent at all, but he didn't intend to use force. Perhaps his elder brother's majesty could force him to hand over the Eye of Versailles. He chose to approach his younger brother slowly, but it turned out that he was right. .

In the darkness, Zhou Luoyang blocked the fist with the sound of wind, and realized that there were still people in the warehouse!

"Who is it?!" Zhou Luoyang said suddenly, the Russians couldn't have arrived so soon!

Su Pu's voice said in the darkness, "Don't spoil our business anymore."

Zhou Luoyang's thoughts changed. Sure enough, Svatanlovski was worried that Le Yao would come back by himself. He once again authenticated Su Pu and asked Su Pu to take care of him!

But before this thought was fully thought through, Zhou Luoyang received a blow and was thrown onto the bed.

Immediately afterwards, he turned over and wanted to rush out, but Su Pu caught him back and threw him to the ground.

He heard Le Yao panicked, "Don't hit hard!"

Su Pu picked up a wood carving and gave Zhou Luoyang the back of the head, causing Zhou Luoyang to faint.

"He will wake up soon." Su Pu said, "I don't know where Vincent is now, but he will come soon, we have to leave as soon as possible."

Su Pu turned on the light in the warehouse, Le Yao stood in the corner, gasping for breath with horror on his face, Zhou Luoyang's forehead was covered in blood, and he fell unconscious on the ground.

In the early morning, Zhou Luoyang woke up and found himself tied up with a rope, lying sideways on another bed in the standard room of the hotel.

With his hair disheveled, Su Pu was pulling out surveillance records one by one on the computer, connected to Haneda Airport through the satellite equipment at the headquarters, and said, "Don't yell, I don't want to gag your mouth again."

"Where's Le Yao?" Zhou Luoyang was rare to remain calm at this moment, he knew that Du Jing must be on his way.He didn't call himself, perhaps because agents had monitored his mobile device.

This is a strange scene. Time goes back to more than a year ago, and there are not obvious differences in everyone. Although the marks of time are not wide open and closed, they are flowing slowly. Even in the time of a year, there are subtle differences. The change.

Su Pu looked younger than when they first met.

"He and your stepmother live in this hotel." Su Pu replied, "They will go back to Tokyo soon. Even if Vincent comes, you will not be able to find your whereabouts. You will stay in the hotel for a while , Later, when I leave, I will press Do Not Disturb and not check out, just accept the reality obediently."

"He won't go back." Zhou Luoyang said coldly.

Su Pu replied, "He will, because your father is still in Japan, under the watchful eye of my client."

Zhou Luoyang understood in an instant - Le Yao had a reason to go back, Svatanlovski must be waiting in Tokyo, mobilized all his available resources, and hinted to Le Yao to hand him the watch at Haneda Airport , Leyao can change the past from then on, choose another road, take the subway with his father who came to pick them up, and leave Haneda Airport.

Zhou Luoyang struggled lightly a few times. The rope was not tied tightly, but with a special technique, it was impossible for him to break free.

"Do you think Vincent will come to save you?" Su Pu checked the monitor, closed his laptop, spun around on the swivel chair, stared at Zhou Luoyang, and said, "I don't think he will come. According to past developments, he won't come. Might come."

Zhou Luoyang stared at Su Pu.

"You believe me now?" Su Pu said again, "Next, Vincent will go to Haneda Airport, catch up with your father's car on the airport expressway, and try to take that watch away."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

At this moment, all the previous details are assembled into a complete puzzle under the power of time.

Haneda's car accident, Du Jing's appearance, the car chase...

"The rule of time is wonderful," Sup murmured, "Everything develops by itself under this inescapable law, and finally leads to the inevitable result."

"If that's the case," Zhou Luoyang said, "what are we doing now? You're contradicting yourself. Assuming the future can't be changed, then no matter how much you do now, it will be futile, and the damned will die eventually. If the established facts can be changed, then Du Jing is likely to come, you can't take it lightly."

"Speaking of this," Su Pu said thoughtfully, "I would like to ask you, Mr. Zhou, you and Vincent have used the light particle countercurrent wheel more than once, have you successfully changed what happened within 24 hours? "

"Yes," Zhou Luoyang said, "within a certain range. But we found one thing that cannot be broken no matter what."

"What's the matter?" Su Pu asked with a slightly changed face.

Zhou Luoyang didn't answer. Based on his expression, he understood that the Russians still had something to hide from him, or that the enemy didn't know the crucial point.

After a period of silence, Su Pu asked again: "What do you think caused this?"

"Why do you work for the Russians?" Zhou Luoyang said, "I remember that if there are no accidents, you are still training at this time. You are Du Jing's junior."

"I also want to go back to the past and make a new choice." Su Pu said lightly, "Is it difficult to understand, Mr. Zhou? Swatanlovsky promised me, and he did. This deal, I I have always wanted to ask you to do it, but it is a pity that you have turned me away again and again."

Zhou Luoyang said: "I can help you now, you have been certified."

"Aren't you joking?" Su Pu laughed, "Is there any point in talking about cooperation at this time?"

The two sides were silent again.

Zhou Luoyang: "Is there anyone you want to save?"

Su Pu said again: "It doesn't matter if I tell you the truth. I just want to save myself. The day I met you, I was found to have a disease. But time goes back to the present and everything is resolved. As long as I don't go Do something, and this disease will never have anything to do with me again."

"Oh..." Zhou Luoyang understood.

He didn't care what kind of disease Su Pu actually suffered from, but many things were like this, just a single thought at the beginning, and everything was completely different from then on.

"You haven't told me," Su Pu replied, "what can't be broken no matter what."

"Nothing." Zhou Luoyang said lightly.

He just wanted to stall for time, knowing that Su Pu's appetite was hooked, and he didn't know about Su Pu's agreement with Swatanlovsky and Le Yao.But based on Le Yao's reaction, he can already guess a rough idea——

——In the early morning of January [-]rd, he and Du Jing escaped from the chamber of commerce and had no choice but to abandon Le Yao.Svatanlovsky began to design the time location of going back to the past, but except for midnight that day, no matter which time point he returned to, the Eye of Vercetti was not in his hands, and it would take a lot of effort to find it.

Du Jing is very clear about this.

In the end, Svatanlovski and Le Yao made a deal, positioning the retrospective time on May [-], more than a year ago. Le Yao and his mother happened to return to China to visit their grandfather on vacation. Le Yao's only chance to get closest to the Eye of Versatile.

In order to ensure that Le Yao would not be disturbed, Su Pu became a certified member. As a reward for assisting Svatanlovsky in finding the watch, he got a chance to rewrite the past.

Swatanlovsky backtracked, everyone was sent back to the past, Le Yao got the watch, Su Pu finished the unfinished business at hand, came to protect Le Yao, and made sure that he could bring Versetti Eyes, left China, returned to Tokyo.

Next, Svatanlovski will definitely be waiting for Le Yao in Tokyo. As long as his family is safe, Le Yao will never restart the backtracking to face unknown dangers.

The only result of this matter is to hand over the watch to Svatanlovski, and thus completely end their entanglement with it.

Su Pu said: "It's not a good habit to lie at this time, Mr. Zhou, Svatanlovsky instructed me to hide from your brother and send you to see God, but I sympathize with Le Yao, so I don't want to do anything."

"Of course I don't mind doing it." Su Pu said, taking out the small and delicate lipstick gun from his handbag.

"The Eye of Vercetti finally fell into the hands of Svatanlovski," Zhou Luoyang murmured, "You think everything is over, don't you?"

Su Pu stared at Zhou Luoyang.

"But every time he resets the time and goes back to the past," Zhou Luoyang said, "everyone who has been certified, including you, me, Du Jing, and Le Yao."

"...The four of us will be all over the world, and every time the Russians launch backtracking, we will be forcibly taken back to the past." Zhou Luoyang added, "This is what the Russians don't want to see. After all, it will add more Are you sure he won't kill you at the end?"

Su Pu narrowed his eyes suddenly. Judging from this point, Zhou Luoyang knew that Swatanlovsky didn't tell him this detail!

Su Pu was drawn into this time loop for the first time, and he didn't even know how much impact the backtracking itself would have.

But at this moment, with a loud sound of glass shattering, Du Jing broke through the French windows from the balcony, and rushed in with the sun.

"I saw your martial arts grades," Du Jing said in a dangerous tone, "Since you failed, you should obediently stay in school and make up the exam."

Immediately afterwards, Du Jing clasped Su Pu's wrist and threw him over his shoulder with one hand. His slender figure didn't even shake, and threw him directly from the upstairs!

There was a loud noise downstairs and the car alarm beeping. Zhou Luoyang stared at Du Jing in a daze.

According to past time and memories, this was the first time Du Jing reunited with Zhou Luoyang after leaving school.

He was wearing the standard suit of the Detective Association, and he looked more haggard than Zhou Luoyang had ever seen him, thin and melancholy, and the scars on his face were particularly shocking.

"You're finally here." Zhou Luoyang said.

Du Jing walked to the bed, knelt down on his knees, straightened his body, and stared at Zhou Luoyang silently.

The curtains were blown open by the wind, and the morning sun shone on them both.

Zhou Luoyang raised his bound hands and gently touched Du Jing's face.

"Why have you lost so much weight this year?" Zhou Luoyang asked in disbelief.

Du Jing replied: "Because I miss you."
