Chapter 4 The Thief of Time(2/3)

So casual.

Xiaohui frowned and said, "That's what bothers me about you. You don't use your brain to do anything, and you cause chaos wherever you go. In the end, I have to help you find your arms all over the place!"

Ah Po said: "I said I didn't want it because you insisted on finding it. Do you think I care about an arm?"

Xiaohui said angrily: "How can you leave it in the store and ask the store manager to explain to the police? Besides, how can you go out to meet people with your missing arms? Let the police follow the clues to find us and then be surprised to find that you are Superman?"

I am happy.

Apo said nonchalantly: "You are always reasonable." He was a little afraid of Xiaohui, so he stopped arguing loudly.

I patted the table and said, "Ah Po, you should listen to Xiao Hui more in the future."

Xiaohui glanced at Ah Po and said, "Only ghosts will go out with him on the streets from now on."

I laughed and said, "That won't work. No one else is afraid of him except you. Didn't anyone see Ah Po when he connected his arm?"

"No, but the little daughter was already frightened, so I had to use hypnosis to help her forget what happened today."

I asked in surprise: "Hypnosis? When did you learn it?"

Xiaohui took out a copy of "A Brief Analysis of Hypnosis" from her bag and threw it on the table: "I learned it when they were fighting."

I asked: "Who else was there at that time?"

Xiao Hui said: "There was also a clerk who was knocked unconscious at the beginning. The little girl fell asleep when we left. Then there was only a female store manager left. I told her that I was taking Ah Po to the hospital."

I glared at Ah Po: "Look at Xiaohui, she does things flawlessly, and look at you, she's just one, two hundred and five."

Ah Po Heeran: "Then what do you want me to do? Are you going to stand by and watch?"

Xiao Hui said: "I didn't leave you alone, I wanted you to find an opportunity to strike again. You were able to control the boss several times, but why did you ignore me when I winked at you?"

Ah Po was confused: "Did you wink at me?"

Xiaohui snorted and stopped talking.

I understood that Ah Po must have deliberately ignored Xiao Hui's eyes. He is a very lively person. If he has the opportunity to fight with four people at the same time, he will never be left behind.

Lu Weimin was dumbfounded when he heard it. After a long time, he carefully asked: "Are you... kidding?"

Apo walked up to him with a serious face and said: "Since you already know us, let me perform for you once." As he said that, he suddenly used his right hand to poke the forearm of his left arm, and made a "Gaba" sound, and touched the back of his left hand.

It was attached to the elbow joint. Ah Po flashed his broken arm in several pieces in front of Lu Weimin's eyes. Lao Lu screamed in fright and sat down on the ground. Ah Po laughed and then reconnected the broken arm.

Back to the original place alive and kicking.

I couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Stop making trouble, we should leave." In fact, I understood that Apo was putting pressure and intimidation on Lao Lu. This kind of thing is too suspenseful. Once it is exposed, we will never have peace.

At this time, Aunt Meng poked her head in and said: "Xiao He, people from the TV station are coming to distribute set-top boxes this afternoon. They need help from our neighborhood committee. Who do you need to call for help?"

I quickly said: "Don't worry about it, just a few of our little brothers are here."

"Then don't be late, they will come at two o'clock." After that, he left.

I took one last look at my watch and said to Lu Weimin: "Let's go, I'll send you there just in time to hand out the set-top boxes."

"How to go..." Lu Weimin asked tremblingly.

I went over and grabbed his arm and said, "Just hold me tight."

Xiaohui said worriedly: "Was it three days ago? Is there any danger?"

I said happily: "Xiaohui is the only one who knows how to care for others - don't worry, it's not the first time."

Xiaohui said quickly: "I want you to bring me an evening newspaper from three days ago. I remember that there was an article introducing hypnosis on the back page. Unfortunately, I lost the newspaper."

I'm speechless……

I pulled Lu Weimin and said, "Are you ready? Close your eyes if you feel sick for a while. It won't be long. Where was the last time you and your daughter met?"

Lu Weimin grabbed my arm hard, his palms were all sweaty, and said extremely nervously: "Starbucks coffee on the avenue."

"Let's go!" I pulled him hard, shouted, and used all my "power" to stop time and then go backwards. The people and things around us instantly had double images, Po, Xiaohui,

Liu Laoliu disappeared one after another, and the light on the floor and walls of the room, as well as the tables, chairs and benches, changed rapidly at an incredible speed, repeatedly restoring their changing status in three days.

People find time reversal mysterious because they can't control it. It's actually not difficult to go back in time. It's like walking backwards. The only discomfort is that you'll get dizzy if you walk too fast. I threw up the first time.

There are three major things to note when taking someone back to the past: first, this person must be someone I have never seen before; second, not too many people know about this person’s movements three days ago; third, the maximum length of time limit is 3

A day is also 72 hours. These are not rules set by me, but three taboos. As long as one of them does not comply with it, even if I want to take him back, I can't do it. This is probably a kind of constraint. Pay special attention to it.

The second one is the factor that can be flexibly controlled, and it is also the most dangerous factor, because going back and living again is equivalent to modifying other people's life files, so the more people who knew the file three days ago

, my workload will increase - doing memory modifications for those people will automatically consume my strength. If there are a certain number of people, I will not be able to bear it. Last year, a celebrity surnamed Chen was exposed in a pornographic scandal. In fact, he

Later, someone accidentally found me and asked me to help him go back, but wouldn't it cost me my life? At that time, tens of millions of people had seen his photos.

Fortunately, there have been no problems since I rarely use this power. In fact, there is a fourth constraint: with my current power, I can only go back once a month.

Before Lu Weimin's turkey daughter didn't recognize him as her father, she wasn't even worth half a cent. No one would care about her life and death. The other two conditions were also met, so I agreed to help him.

Lu Weimin closed his eyes tightly at first as I told him, but after a while he found that he was adaptable, so he opened his eyes and looked at all this in surprise. I smiled at him: "The adaptability is good."

"Haha, maybe it's because I fly frequently."

"...Please keep the things you saw and heard just a moment secret from us."

"I know, I understand... you are not ordinary people."

"We are not human."



Time is still going backwards, and the office of the neighborhood committee is sometimes sunny and sometimes dark.

I suddenly noticed that Lu Weimin's face was terribly pale, so I quickly asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Lu Weimin pursed his lips tightly and said for a long time: "I'm nervous thinking about seeing her again!"

I curled my lips, feeling funny.

I finally stopped. The location was still the neighborhood committee. It was quiet all around. Looking out, there was no one on the street - because this was 3 days ago. It was impossible for the people I had seen before to appear here. Aunt Meng and the others are now.

I will be preparing to install the set-top box in about 3 days.

We walked out of Wangfu Street, and there were suddenly more people. I told Lu Weimin: "Try not to talk to anyone."

To them, Lu Weimin and I are people from the future. One word from us may disrupt their lives in the next three days, and trying to get them back on the previous track will still consume my strength.

I stopped a taxi with my hand and told the driver: "Boulevard, Starbucks coffee."

The driver started the car and started chattering incessantly. I laughed and refused to answer some of his questions. Lao Lu tried to talk to me several times out of politeness, but I glared back.

Lu Weimin looked at his watch and said anxiously: "It will be half past one soon."

The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "Are you in a hurry?"

Lu Weimin, who wanted to speak, finally shut up under my gaze.

The driver said while driving: "Actually, I also want to go faster. Being faster also saves fuel. Hey, I heard that oil prices are going to rise in the next few days. I don't know if it's true."

I smiled and said: "It's true, it will go up tomorrow."



When we arrived in front of Starbucks, I asked Lu Weimin to get out of the car first. I paid the driver and then got out. Lu Weimin asked me in a low voice: "Where is he going now?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, when we return three days later, he will return to his original trajectory and forget about us."

Lu Weimin apologized: "And you have to pay for all this?"

I smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, I sell regret medicine. The curative effect is yours, and I'll take care of the side effects - is that your daughter?" I saw a dirty firecracker standing under the stop sign at a busy street.

Chicken is looking around. It must be that Lu Weimin and his daughter have broken up for some time. Turkey is very irritable and seems to want to cross the road quickly. If we don't care about her, she will make the same mistake again and be hit and killed by a car.

Lu Weimin followed my hand and looked into the distance, speechless. I pushed him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead and keep an eye on her no matter what. If she dies again, I can't do anything."

Lu Weimin ran forward with all his strength, and hugged the turkey in his arms amidst the astonished eyes of passers-by. The turkey was a little dazed and began to struggle subconsciously.

I walked to a newsstand and asked: "Three days ago... uh, is there today's evening paper?"

The newspaper seller handed me a copy. I opened the back page and saw a column that read: "Hypnosis, science or superstition?"...

The fatal moment of half past one has passed.

At the street corner, Lu Weimin and his turkey daughter had been hugging each other for a while. Lu Weimin put the turkey's head on his shoulders, held it up and looked at it for a while, and again and again, he was excited and said something quickly, turkey.

Suddenly he screamed: "Damn it, are you finally willing to acknowledge me?"

I sighed and walked forward slowly: "Congratulations, father and daughter finally recognized each other."

Lao Lu held the turkey in his arms and looked at me with an indescribable look in his eyes. After a long time, he said in a bitter voice: "I don't know what to say, thank you very much."

I smiled and said, "My mission is accomplished."

Lao Lu nodded and said, "I will have someone send the money to you."

... His understanding was so strong that he knew that I was looking for him to sign a contract. I slapped him hard on the back, and the world seemed to flash.

"Should we go back?" Lao Lu asked without letting go of the turkey.

"Back to where?"
To be continued...
