Chapter 2: The Other Side of the Stream of Time (Part II)

He quickly grabbed his change of clothes and strode into the bathroom: "I'm going to take a shower too......" Fortunately, Shania was concentrating on her hair and didn't notice Don's appearance at all.

In the bathroom, Donn turned on cold water and then stood under the shower and slapped himself...... Damn, she's just a fourteen-year-old!

In order to distract himself, Donn stood in the cold water and began to memorize the technical and tactical analysis manual of the FIFA technical team for the 2002 World Cup, and then diverged his thinking by the way, thinking about who should be added to his transfer list for the new season, and who would be on the transfer list...... By the time the list became clear in his mind, Shania was already asleep in bed.

Done, who didn't know how long it had been cool, came out in a bathrobe and found Shania curled up in bed and falling asleep. He stepped forward and covered him with a thin quilt. Then I walked to the window, and it was just afternoon.

The sky in Chengdu is still gray, and there is no change from 2007. Throughout the year, there are many cloudy and rainy days, and in summer, it rains almost every night, big or small. Don loves the weather, and even though the winter is cold and damp, the weather in Chengdu becomes lovely when the sun is out.

In winter, if there is such weather on the weekend, sit in the warm sun, make a pot of tea, and read a book...... It's been a very leisurely life.

Although Nottingham is not bad, Sichuan is after all the place where he has lived for more than twenty years. He stood in front of the window on the twenty-third floor, looking at the endless flow of traffic and people on Shudu Avenue below, and felt very kind.

Don's plan was to take Shania in and around Chengdu for a few days, then head south to his hometown, then to Kunming, to Dali, Yunnan, to Hong Kong, and back to the UK.

Shania is interested in everything in China, much to Don's relief. Because he proposed to come to China out of his own selfishness, if Shania was depressed, he would also feel guilty. Tang En took him to Manjusri Fang to listen to Li Boqing talk about Sanda Commentary, although Shanya didn't understand anything, she could understand the traditional atmosphere, and she also liked to touch the wood carving Maitreya Buddha that entered the door.

Now that you have played in Sichuan, you must eat one of the items that cannot be ignored in the plan.

Eat enough snacks and delicacies to make Shania addicted. Shania told Don that in order to maintain her figure, she had strict dietary requirements, and she always felt that she couldn't eat enough, but there was nothing she could do.

As soon as Don heard this, he figured out why Shania liked to be with him...... You can play and play, you can also let go of eating, there is no chattering criticism in her ears, and she will be obedient immediately when she occasionally puts on her face...... Maybe she is the natural surname of the suppressed child in her own home. He thought of his childhood, in the countryside of southern Sichuan, his parents were honest farmers, and they would not plan his future and life for him before the child was born, so his childhood was carefree, and he played crazy with his surname. In addition to not being able to compare with Shania in terms of material aspects, Don felt that he had a lot more wealth in spiritual terms.

The two of them stayed in Chengdu for three days, and they had almost had fun in the city, and Dujiangyan had also been there. Tang En planned to go to Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng, and then go to his hometown to visit his "parents".

But his plan went awry.

On Zhou's Chunxi Road, outside the Southwest Book City, he met himself.

This sounds paradoxical, but it's fine:

Tony? Don meets Don.

At that time, Don and Shania were standing on the street of Chunxi Road, waiting for the signal to cross the street, and there were people waiting for the crowd to come in the security fence opposite.

Shania was still curious about the strange city and the yellow-skinned and dark-haired people around her. Don is accustomed to glancing at his eyes, with no purpose and no focus. But he soon saw a face in the crowd opposite, which was once familiar!

said that it was familiar to him, and it was because he hadn't seen it for a year and a half...... The man standing across the street with a stack of books in the crowd is Tony? Donne's predecessor - the real Donn.

And obviously, because he was watching too intently, he also attracted the attention of Donn on the other side. The two Dons looked at each other across the street, and the cars in the middle couldn't interrupt them.

Such an encounter was so incredible that Don himself couldn't describe the moment: although he looked like Tony? Don, but it's still Don in my heart. So since he is the Chinese Donne, who is the Chinese Donn standing across the street now? A Don who has the same thoughts, the same memories, and the same surname as himself?

How could there be two identical Dons in this world?

Besides, I traveled back in 2003 from 2007, three years later, so to speak...... How has Don been since 2007? Disappearing into thin air? Death? What about Donn before 2007?

He also experienced the period from 2003 to 2007, why didn't he meet a foreigner staring at him here at this moment in his memory?

If time is really a linear development...... In other words, changing the past can affect the future, so can changing the future affect the past? What if it changed both the future and the past? Just like yourself...... From the future, and then squeezing out the "place" of a person in the past, and replacing it, what kind of impact will this kind of thing have on the person who has been squeezed out? In other words...... When Don suddenly traveled from Sichuan, China in 2007 to Nottingham, England in 2003, and possessed another person, what was the fate of the person he possessed? Disappearing into thin air? Can a person's consciousness really be disposed of like this?

The thought of this question made Don shudder a little. He seemed to feel like he was touching a door that had been forbidden to be approached, and what was behind it...... He didn't know.

The middle-aged woman standing on the side of the road to maintain order blew the whistle in her mouth and then moved out of the way, and the crowd on both sides of the road intertwined and crossed the main road, which was not too wide.

Shania was about to walk over, but she noticed that Uncle Tony, who was beside her, didn't move, but just frowned, staring at a certain point ahead. She followed that gaze and saw that across the road, there was also a man looking at her with the same expression.

The other party also noticed him, and Don discovered this, and a seemingly absurd, but very probable idea popped into his mind - in 2007, he inexplicably traveled to 2003 and occupied an Englishman, Tony? Donn's body, and the Englishman Tony, who was occupied by the dove? Donn's soul was possessed by Chinese Donn in 2003...... As for where this Chinese Tang En went, maybe he went to Sichuan, China in 2007 to fill the vacancy left by the first Tang En, he will definitely be even more surprised when he wakes up for running into the future, but this matter has not been managed by Tang Enke who crossed over in 2007.

It may seem like a complicated thing to say, but if we don't think of "time" as a single line, but as a net, then the problem is much easier to understand.

In other words, Donn in 2007 and Donn in 2003 are not on the same timeline, although they both look the same, but they just look, not identical. Then in 2007, the timeline of Donn diverged, at this point, the original line was divided into several different directions, one of which folded towards the timeline of Donn in 2003.

Meanwhile, in 2003 in the UK, Tony? Donn's timeline split when he first took charge of the Forest first team, with one twisting towards Donn in 2007 and converging with his split line, which is why Donn crossed over and possessed another stranger. And this 2003 timeline split is not over, and the other one flies to the 2003 Sichuan Tangen timeline...... At the same time, in Sichuan, China, the timeline of Don also splits, one of which turns to the timeline of Donn in 2007, and after the divergence, it merges perfectly with the main timeline of 2007, and continues to move in the original direction - he replaces his future self. It's like a "claw" word, which splits into several lines in the middle, and then countless "claws" are arranged in an array, they are connected to each other, or parallel, and the relationship is intricate.

Don is not a scientist, nor does he know any theoretical knowledge, he has figured it out entirely through the novels, movies, and comics he has read before, plus his own blind imagination.

When cars on both sides of the crosswalk were re-cleared, there were many pedestrians waiting to cross the street on both sides of the road. Tony? Don is still here, and Don is still over there, there is a road between them, but it seems to be separated by a stream of time...... ※※※ Ask for a monthly pass, the distance is very small, and the line of fire supports!
