The Wheel of Chronos

When Sharon woke up, the lingering smell of disinfectant told her that she was in the hospital.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, surrounded by ecstatic old Jack and Aunt Joan, who told her that she had finally come to life after being in a coma for three months.As for her right arm and right leg, after being hit by a car at high speed, it was twisted and run over by the wheels, and it was beyond treatment.He had to amputate his limbs, and in order to stand up and move normally in the future, he had to install mechanical prostheses.Her right eye was pierced by a stone when she rolled down the hill, and the eyeball was amputated to prevent further deterioration.

Everything is exactly the same as history.

She was lying on the bed, unable to mobilize her brain cells for a long time, unable to concentrate on thinking about everything she had experienced.Her brain is full of scattered fragments, which are residual painful memories. Every time a painful fragment flashes by, her mutilated body will twitch and tremble involuntarily.She even began to doubt whether everything she experienced was just a dream during the coma. She never stood up from the hospital bed, nor did she meet Tianyang later, let alone arrive at Tianyang after all the hardships. Lemuria, being sent back six years ago to such a nonsense thing.She's just a cripple dreaming in her head, that's all.

Back in time?How could she have such an ability? It's unrealistic, impossible. She was just dreaming. This horrible dream had confused her ability to distinguish between reality and illusion. She didn't know whether she was living in reality or not. among.

Until one day, she finally lay on the bed, and in an almost dead voice, asked Old Jack beside her:

"Josie...was the body found? Buried?"

"I found it. It has been cremated. It is stored in the funeral home. We have bought the cemetery. We will preside over her funeral when you are discharged from the hospital."

Old Jack's answer was not bad a word from what she remembered.She asked this question only to finally confirm whether she was in a hallucination or not.It seems not, she is indeed in reality, the world line is perfectly closed, all her efforts are in vain, she once again lost her entire family, a complete failure.

Can she wait another six years?Do you want to experience meeting Tianyang again and go to Lemuria together?She felt that there was no way she could do it.In six years, I don't know how many things will change. Everything after that may be unpredictable, even if she has experienced it once.

Just when she almost lost all her fighting spirit, something happened that she never remembered.Old Jack sucked his nose sour from crying, took out a blood-stained photo from his pocket, and handed it to Sharon.

"This is what the nurse found in the inner pocket of your coat when you were taken to the hospital after the accident."

Xue Lun took the photo with her intact left hand, her lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and her eyes turned red instantly.This is the photo Josephine gave her in the car at that time. Under the Christmas tree, the two sisters stood side by side and took a group photo with smiles. Ahead awaits to devour them.Xue Lun's blood stained this picture red, Josephine's face was already blurred in the blood, and even the right half of Xue Lun's body was also stained red with blood, like a bloody prophetic picture.The blood dried up on the photo, and Old Jack didn't dare to clean it up, for fear of destroying the photo.

"Josie..." Sharon silently read out her sister's nickname, tears pouring down like a bank.The grief that had been suppressed for an unknown amount of time burst out in an instant.She cried out silently, her body curled up, and her whole body was firmly enveloped by infinite grief.

Is it that no matter how hard I try, I can't save her anymore?Why doesn't God let me die? I would rather die ten thousand times, and only hope that Josie and my parents can come back to life.God, why do you play and torture me like this?

Her appearance was so heart-wrenching that even Old Jack, a tough veteran, couldn't help crying for a moment.

"Uncle Jack..." After an unknown amount of time, Sharon stopped crying and called Old Jack in a hoarse voice.

"Miss, tell me." Old Jack wiped the tears on his face with the handkerchief he carried with him, and replied after tidying up his appearance.

"You said, what's the fate of a person? What's the time?" She had never asked anyone this question, but today she asked Old Jack.

This question is too large and complex, and too illusory, and it is really difficult to answer.Old Jack was silent for a long time before slowly saying:

"Time is the ruler that marks the direction of change of things. From nothing to existence, from birth to death, prosperity and decline, decline and rise, and a series of movement and change transmission processes. To put it bluntly, what we are familiar with The year, month, day, hour, minute, and second are just the scale planning made by human beings to understand time more concretely. Time does not have to be divided in this way, nor does it necessarily flow forward like a big river forever, maybe Time is countless fragment cards, not necessarily all coherent...but it must be something that we cannot fully understand at present.

Destiny is inseparable from time.Everything interacts and affects each other, forming the seemingly predetermined destiny of everything.Destiny may be predetermined, but it is not absolutely predetermined.In fact, it is also a process of transmission of movement changes, marked by personal time.This process may be affected by many things around, and will be limited to a certain extent in a seemingly rigid and unchangeable track.But this track is actually very empty and fragile. As long as a strong external force is applied, the things in the original track will be pushed out of this track and enter another unknown track.There is nothing static in this world... Hehe, miss, I was stupid and said something that didn't make sense.I actually want to say, don’t be too sad, even if the past cannot be changed, the future can still be changed, as long as you cheer up now..."

"Uncle Jack, I'm tired..." Sharon closed her eyes and interrupted Old Jack softly.

Old Jack paused, and said, "Okay, then I'm going out, and I'll see you later, so you can take a good rest."

Is there nothing constant in this world?Sharon never knew that this was how old Jack viewed time.The old butler's profound thoughts had some kind of magical effect on her at this moment.It may not be possible to completely smooth out the pain in her heart, but it has protected the last spark in her heart.

Yes, she also understands this truth, there is nothing static in this world.So even if the world line ends, even if fate tricks people, even if failures are waiting for her again and again, she must find the external force to break through the orbit, otherwise what else can she live for?Let her fight fate to the end!

If the time does not have to be divided by the scale of the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second, then she does not need a pocket watch to rewind the time.It's just that she lacks a concrete tool that can be used. What should she use as a grip?

She seemed to think of something, slowly raised her left hand, and looked at the photo in her hand.It would be best if she could directly enter her own body when this photo was taken on the afternoon of December 12rd.She will have more time to prepare and have more opportunities to get more information.She knew that six years ago, the situation was even more unclear than six years later, and what she needed most was time.

She fixed her eyes tightly on the photo, stared at her own eyes in the photo, imagined that she was looking at the world with those eyes, and simulated putting all her spirit into her brain in the photo.

Then the next moment... She really seemed to be sucked in by an invisible vortex, and lost control of her own consciousness for an instant.The left hand that Xue Lun raised was also powerless and fell to the edge of the hospital bed. The photo in her hand fell off from her fingers and slowly fell to the ground.

"Drip——" The heart and brain electricity monitoring device that Sharon has been wearing all the time issued an alarm, and the monitoring curvature lines were all straight. In the nurse station outside, the nurse on duty was chatting with Old Jack, and suddenly received a message from the holographic screen of the nurse station. After calling the police, she hurriedly led Old Jack back to the ward. At this moment, Sharon's eyes were closed on the hospital bed, and she had already lost any signs of life.

"Miss!!! Doctor! Doctor!" Old Jack's terrified cry came from the VIP intensive care ward.Probably he will never understand why Sharon, who was in good condition in all signs, passed away so suddenly.

……

"Kacha", the light of the flashlight caused Sharon to close her eyes subconsciously, and then a burst of dizziness struck her, her body was staggering, and she was about to fall.Beside her, a pair of soft hands supported her arms, and then a distant and familiar voice came, making her nose sour and tearful:

"Sister? Are you okay?"

She turned her head, and the picture in front of her eyes gradually became clear, the big living room of the old house, the Christmas tree beside her was covered with beautiful decorations, her parents were sitting on the sofa not far away, Aunt Qiong was pouring tea by the tea set moving cart, And old Jack just took a group photo of the two sisters with a camera, and most importantly, Josephine's quiet and beautiful face was right in front of her, and her eyes finally fell on her sister in a daze. React to what happened.

"Sister?" Josephine stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

Sharon suddenly raised her head, as if she had been shocked by electricity, her eyes stared directly over Josephine's head at the Christmas tree behind.Then she suddenly raised her wrist and looked at the bracelet:

April 12, 23:3 p.m.

succeeded?i did it!I'm back!When she realized this, Sharon was in such a state of surprise that she almost screamed.She couldn't help but leaned down and hugged Josephine, lifted her up, and turned her around three times suddenly.Amidst Josephine's exclamation, her tears overflowed involuntarily.

"Sister! You scared me, let me down!" Josephine's pretty face flushed red, her sister's sudden behavior made her both happy and ashamed, and the joy was naturally because her sister could not help being so intimate with her , she clearly saw the strong emotion in her sister's eyes just now when she looked at her.She was ashamed because they were not the only two present, her parents, old Jack and Aunt Joan were still there.

Sharon put Josephine down and said suddenly:

"Josie, pinch me."

"What?" Josephine couldn't understand her sister's strange request.

"Pinch me." Sharon held out the back of her hand to her.

Josephine hesitantly complied, but she didn't dare to hit hard, but Sharon did feel the pain.It's real, she's really not dreaming.

"Ahem..." Lilian cleared her throat not far away.

Sharon wiped her tears, and when she turned her head, her parents were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching them.Mother Lilian had a strange look on her face, but father Nurente looked more gentle and loving.

"Dad, Mom..." Sharon murmured, how long had it been since she saw them so peacefully, and the tragic image of the parking lot of the guest house still remained in her mind, forming a strong contrast with this.

Nurent looked at the bracelet at this time and stood up:

"Sharon, your mother and I are leaving for the East China Sea. We will be back before the evening of the day after tomorrow. At that time, our family will have a good dinner together."

"Father, I have something to talk to you about." Sharon immediately stopped her.

"What do we have to talk about now?" Nurent wondered.

"It's urgent, Dad, come with me." After speaking, Sharon couldn't help but grab Nulent's arm and forcefully lead him to the study.

Nurente couldn't hold back his daughter, so he followed his daughter into the study, thinking that the delay of the private plane would not have much impact.Josephine, Lilian, Old Jack and Aunt Joan were left staring at each other in the living room, wondering why Sharon was going crazy.

The author has something to say: Newrent: Wife, look how harmonious the daughters are.

Lilian: ...

Let me tell you, the younger sister is the provider of the save point, and she is the real savior. (funny)
