The noisy, frightened screams in his ears disturbed the young husband's sweet dream. The confused consciousness gradually woke up. He opened his eyes slightly in a daze, only to feel that his eyes were dry, his eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and his eyes were like fog. It's as hazy and blurry as looking at flowers.
He yawned deeply and felt unbearable pain and needle-like numbness in his neck and lower back. He couldn't help but let out a mournful cry: Wow, where am I?
The previously noisy and indiscernible sounds in his ears became clear and smellable at this moment. At this time, no matter how slow his consciousness was, he could still hear the fear and anger in these screams, and he could also feel the fear and anger under his buttocks. The hard texture and numbness in his hands as if they had lost consciousness. These abnormalities made him suddenly feel sleepless. Even though his vision was still hazy and his eyes were still dry and swollen, he still instinctively widened his eyes, trying to make out the current situation clearly. What exactly is going on.
The vision in front of him gradually became clear from blur, and he vaguely recognized that he seemed to be in the lobby of the hot spring villa. However, when the situation became clearer, what he saw was a creepy and strange scene.
The bright red paint, who didn't know whether it was blood or something else, almost occupied the entire floor of the hall. The ground was painted with nested concentric circles, blasphemous text symbols, and lines and lines that made people feel dizzy when they saw it. Geometric figures, many with their hands and feet bound like him, sat at several vertices of the circle pattern, yelling in fear or confusion.
ah! Didn't I just sleep in the room?
How is this going? !
Hello! That cleaner over there! Is this your fault?
Although there was no communication, the young husband still recognized that these people seemed to be travel companions who came to this hot spring resort by car today, and their anger and fear were directed at the same person - that is, the person standing in this magic circle at this moment In the center is a middle-aged man with gray hair on the temples who looks to be over fifty and has reached the age of knowing his destiny.
He looked unattractive and had no impressive features. If it weren't for the uniform of a hot spring villa cleaner, the young husband might not have guessed the identity of this man.
Indescribable fear surged into his heart, and then this fear turned into extremely aggressive anger, but he still controlled his irrational behavior and did not join in the meaningless scolding. Focus on how to escape.
Everyone, it seems like you don’t quite understand the current situation, right? Be quiet for a while. The middle-aged time thief waved his hands, trying to calm down the commotion passengers, but his attitude and behavior not only failed to calm them down, but further angered these angry people who were already unaware of the situation. Passengers who were concerned about their situation and current situation were yelling and yelling, and threats ranging from complaints to calling the police came one after another.
Seeing that they couldn't calm down for a long time, he sighed and had no choice but to lightly grab his hand in the void. The time that should have been invisible and immaterial was distorted. Time passed by like a white horse. The flow of time changed slightly. Part of the time was like being led into a water diversion channel. Like river water, it flows into the body of the time thief. A period of time that should have existed was taken away out of thin air. The sudden change in the length of time makes people feel that it is fleeting, and the things and records that should have happened during this period are only retained as memories. down.
And this abstract change in time is also reflected in reality. This high-intensity scolding and venting seemed to last for a long time to the passengers. They tried their best to curse him and threatened him wildly, but they No one felt any abnormality or inconsistency in time. From the perspective of the time thief and the objective time, it seems that they only cursed at the beginning and then stopped abruptly. The whole hall became quiet as he wished: It has finally quieted down. Now I can finally explain the current situation to you. Please don't interrupt me.
I hope you can lend us your time. The middle-aged time thief's words seemed like he was discussing a small matter with everyone, but he had an unquestionable tone, as if he was just telling them that this was his decision. I hope you can use the time you don't use. Take it out, well in your words, this should be considered a crowdfunding
What the hell are you talking about?
! He was interrupted before he finished speaking. The young husband, who had been observing the situation, discovered that this time it was the young man in the young couple who interrupted him.
You told me not to interrupt me, the middle-aged time thief sighed, this is something closely related to each of you.
After all, the young man is still full of energy. Even if his hands and feet are tied, he still has the confidence to say the national curse: dn! Old thing! I warn you! Let me and my girlfriend go now! Otherwise, there will be hello juice to eat!
Seeing that despite his good words, the other party was still so disrespectful, the middle-aged time stealer could only shake his head and wave his right hand again, 'stealing' the young man's time alone.
At that moment, the gears of time turned rapidly, and the long river of time once again had interruptions and gaps, ten days and months, ten months, ten years, twenty years, forty years
Countless memories and life experiences were stuffed into the young man's mind like a slideshow. Under the horrified eyes of everyone, he began to grow rapidly. His hair and beard grew rapidly, and his young appearance and body changed from young to mature, and then gained weight. Hair loss begins as the person loses shape, and eventually ages. The skin loses its youthful vitality and elasticity and becomes wrinkled. The beard and eyebrows quickly turn white, and the face is filled with layers of wrinkles that look like ravines. In the blink of an eye, the young man who was still vigorous just now turned into an old man.
It was only a moment, but it felt as long as a lifetime.
When that moment, which seemed as long as a lifetime, passed, a feeble and painful cry came from the throat of the old man who had lost all his teeth. He wrinkled his face in pain, and the loose wrinkles piled together made his face look like a block. Like ugly tree bark, he fell to the ground in pain, blood flowed from his mouth and nose, and he could only curl up tightly and try to use this method to relieve the headache that seemed to be drilling his head open.
A whole life has gone through in a blink of an eye, and the amount of information that has been crammed into it from decades of life experience and memories is beyond the reach of a healthy person's brain, let alone an aging brain.
This weird and supernatural phenomenon made some timid girls couldn't help but scream!
However, when dealing with these unavoidable little chaos, the middle-aged time thief was very generous. He very thoughtfully stole the time when these people were screaming, allowing them to scream enough in their own memories and return to reality. Then he slowly said: Please don't interrupt me again, because these things are very important to you. If you don't want to listen, you can shut up, but please don't influence others, otherwise this little brother will be you. fate.
This kind of familiar but never effective teacher's instruction worked under the real threat. The hall was completely silent. No one dared to make a sound, or even dared to breathe. The hall was so quiet that even one breath was lost. You could hear a pin drop.
