Chapter 1456: Looking for a Needle in a Haystack
The two of us couldn't understand what was going on, so we wanted to find Nantian, a third person, as a reference and proof.
Nantian called me and left my phone number. I didn't get a strange voice prompt, but no one answered.
After two fights, I had to give up for the time being.
"Why don't you go get something to eat first?" The thin man touched his belly.
I've been hungry for a long time. But I'm wary of people and things here.
We had come out of the neighborhood and stood on the side of the road for a while.
The thin man searched the surrounding restaurants and found a long list of results. Looking at the marks on the map, they are scattered and look like ordinary communities. That is, there is a large public green space here, and there is a vacant one on the map.
The thin man pointed in the direction and chose the street with the most restaurants.
As I walked, I looked around and searched the Internet from time to time.
On social media, none of the accounts I follow have been updated. Web news has also stopped refreshing.
But on the homepage of the social networking site, I saw new blog posts that popped up randomly. It's all accounts I don't know. Two of them are marketing accounts with millions of followers.
I guessed right away that the owners of these two accounts should live here. Because of this, they disappear in the real world and reappear here.
After a while, we crossed the street and found the restaurant street where there were many small shops.
Noodle soup, wontons, dumplings, spicy hot, fried chicken......
These small shops are no different from those in the real world.
I observed for a long time, but I didn't see any problems, so we chose a restaurant called "Lao Zhang Noodle Restaurant" and ordered food.
I saw the QR code posted on the cash register, tried to scan the code to pay, and it was successful.
I exchanged glances with the thin man and sat down quietly.
This noodle restaurant is very clean, but the place is small, and there are three long tables, and it is stuffed. The contents listed on the menu are all noodles, including soup noodles, mixed noodles, and fried noodles, and the toppings are common spicy meat, stewed meat, and vegetarian chicken.
There were already three people seated in the store. A lone guest, and a couple of young people.
The owner sits behind the cash register, watching a video playing on a tablet. The three men were each playing with their phones.
In the kitchen at the back, there was the sound of water gurgling and boiling.
The whole restaurant looks ordinary and there is nothing unusual about it.
I was tired of seeing and didn't make any new discoveries, so I had to give up.
The thin man had already swiped his phone and didn't know what he was looking at.
When the noodles were served, the two of us cautiously tried it and found no problems, before we finished the hot noodles with a snort.
The man who had eaten the noodles alone had finished eating and was gone, and the two young men were still sitting.
One of them picked up his phone and made a call, as if talking about business.
I just finished eating, put down my chopsticks, and wiped my mouth with a paper towel on the table.
“…… Yes! Rest assured! Sure it will be delivered to you in time! Okay, okay! No problem! It's ten o'clock tomorrow. Yes? Oh my God...... The day after tomorrow is Saturday, so if we have to specify a time......"
The action of wiping my mouth was repeated mechanically.
“…… The second shipment can only be postponed to the 25th. Is it okay to be on the 25th? It's the 25th, okay. You can rest assured. ”
I looked up at the thin man.
The thin man had just eaten a bowl of noodles, exhaled, saw me coming, opened his eyes wide, and asked me what was wrong.
I reached out and looked at the date and time displayed on my phone.
No problem.
I wondered.
The phone had already hung up over there, and the two of them greeted each other, got up and left.
Still a little uneasy, I looked at their backs, took out my phone again, went to the search website, and typed in the word "date".
The date "October 2, 2017" jumped out.
I was stunned.
"Brother Qi, what's wrong?" The thin man asked.
I raised my hand and showed the screen of my phone to the thin man.
The thin man didn't react at first, "What happened on 10/2/17?" ”
"Look at the words on it." I reminded.
"Huh? Today's date...... Belch? Well? The thin man screamed twice, closed his mouth, and looked up at me.
Today's date is October 2, 2017.
We are back on October 2, 2017.
I don't know exactly when this alternate space appeared, but it was between 2017 and 2018.
"Is that good news?" The thin man tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"Half of it is good news." I said, looking around.
People here don't seem to find themselves "isolated".
That's how it should be, right?
I'm not sure.
I knew I had lost a memory, but I didn't know what that memory was about.
Did I experience a dream, or something else?
"It could also ...... The cycle repeats. I said it with difficulty.
The better situation is that we arrived at this different space on October 2, 2017, and time and space traveled together. Although I don't know if the people here will lose their memories like the people in the real world, at least for now, it seems that the society is stable here.
Bad situation, that's what I just said.
This alternate space is constantly circulating the time period of October 2, 2017. Sunrise and sunset, every day is October 2, 2017.
I saw that the thin man's face was pale, and my face should not be good-looking.
If you think about it, it shouldn't be a bad thing that this alien space keeps repeating the same day, and everyone is unaware.
In this way, it really becomes a single-player game that can be archived and read. Where we've looked, we don't have to look again. Because these places don't change.
I looked at the website of the social corner and found the marketing account I just saw.
The date they posted the image was October 2, 2017, and the content is a bit old-fashioned, a meme I saw many years ago, and it should be used by no one now.
I flipped through their homepage, and I saw that there was a lot of "No one in 10 minutes?" underneath their message. ", "Past Internet Celebrities", "First Front Row" and so on. Compared with the content they posted in the past, all kinds of data are falling off a cliff.
This undoubtedly proves that this alien space is also isolated from the real world, a kind of two-way isolation.
If the time here stays on October 2nd, it's all well said. If time is going to flow here, it won't be long before someone finds them caught in a bizarre and strange situation.
I still have a lot of doubts about this.
For example, where does the electricity needed for a light that can light up overhead come from? There is only one power plant in Minqing City, which supplies electricity to the whole city.
And who provides the network and APP that I can use normally? The signal base station and server should always be unified, right? If the two sides were separated, none of these things would be usable.
"Hmm. Still, let's find someone first. "I gave up thinking about the end of the day and called Nantian again.
This time, I heard a "power off" tone.
My face is even more unsightly.
"How?"
"It's off." I had a headache and was worried.
"So what are we going to do now?" The thin man asked in a whisper.
"I'm still looking for someone." I smiled wryly.
Nantian couldn't find it, so he looked for Liu Miao.
Our original purpose was to find Liu Miao.
However, we have no clues.
"He must have gone to a neighborhood. There must be something wrong with that neighborhood. I analyzed.
Originally, I thought that with my ability, as long as I dreamed of the person who had seen Liu Miao. All I need to do is to wait for the other party's death and the arrival of the dream, and then after seeing Liu Miao in the dream, I will seize the opportunity.
Now, this path is somewhat unworkable.
I'm trapped in this hellish place myself, so I have to find Liu Miao as soon as possible. There's also a worrying Nantian, and I need to act even more.
"It's not a big place, it's just a little ......," I said, insincerely.
A district has a population of several million people. This is still an urban area, and the Guangxin District and Huangnan District bordering here are both populous districts and are located in the center of the city. Just looking at the map, I saw a dense patch of buildings and a myriad of intertwined roads.
"I remember the background on that photo...... Well...... Although it is a little vague, you can probably see that it is a beige house, not high, a residential building with six or seven floors...... This must be one of those old-fashioned neighborhoods. I said.
Similar buildings are not uncommon on Minqing Street, and they are all residential areas built in the same era.
"Maybe it's a single building, right?" The thin man proposes another possibility.
"Yes. Let's take a look. In fact, it is more convenient to find that one than to find a building. I hinted.
Liu Miao went to inquire about the news, and it could only be to inquire about the news related to the supernatural.
In this way, as long as I find the Yin Qi, I should be able to find him.
We left the noodle shop and hailed a taxi on the way, ready to explore this strange city.
"What's on?" The driver looked at us suspiciously.
"Whatever you want. Let's go down the road first. From south to north. I said.
The driver checked again, and after getting a positive answer, he happily hit the watch and stepped on the accelerator.
The thin man took the initiative to talk to the driver. I searched the Internet for news of supernatural events here.
We have too few clues to find a needle in a haystack.
