Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 1: Waking up and traveling into the future

"The ice is about to crack! Run, Lin Lu!!!"

The heart-wrenching cry made Lin Lu's ears roar.

She had already run to her limit, her lungs ached, the blood in her throat had to be swallowed dryly, the world was white, her eyes were stung so much that tears came out, she could only barely see a figure running towards her in the distance.

But there was no escape, the dull sound of the ice cracking was already at his feet.

Everything seemed like a disaster that was sped up in a documentary. Her right foot stepped on empty air, and she was like a baby bird knocked down by wind and rain, being swallowed by the crack that was said to be tens of thousands of years old.

Until it crashed heavily into the water, the world returned to an eerie calm.

She struggled in panic under the water, her slow and stiff movements becoming more and more skillful as she rose up again and again, until she could touch the water surface. Lin Lu suddenly broke out of the water, opened her eyes and took deep breaths!
The ice in the dream disappeared, and the vast white Antarctica also disappeared. Instead, there was a green lawn and a lake with ripples. The sound of the wind carried the sounds of birds, distant voices and whistles into her ears. She looked around blankly.

This is a park.

The row of ginkgo trees next to the greenway have reached their golden color. An old man is sitting under them playing the saxophone, and many people are taking pictures.

Outside the park, dimmed festive flags were hung on the streetlights on both sides of the six lanes, and the taillights of the slowly moving traffic were turned on.

A little further away, brand new skyscrapers reflected the last bit of fading sunlight, and colorful advertisements flashed on the huge screen in front.

Strange sights, strange buildings, strange advertising stars. She looked at it all blankly.

"Classmate, why aren't you leaving? It's getting dark." A pair of hands patted her shoulders. Lin Lu was frightened and shook. She came back to her senses and turned her head to look over.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a security uniform and spoke with an accent.

The other person's eyes moved around her twice, looking a little worried: "You've been sitting here for a long time, and you haven't even eaten... Even if you have something wrong, don't think about it."

Lin Lu was a little embarrassed and responded vaguely.

Seeing that she was not ready to leave, the old man asked again: "Are you in trouble? Why don't you come with me to the security booth and call your family?"

Family? Her family is long gone. Oh no, there is one more.

But she didn't know what happened. She was clearly just... She thought hard and finally remembered what she was doing before.

Lin Lu came out to get some fresh air in order to avoid Pei Yizhou.

They have been brother and sister for six or seven years, but they kissed accidentally yesterday. Although it was an accident, she felt uncomfortable staying at home with Pei Yizhou, so she ran out to relax without bringing anything.

But she had only been sitting in East Lake Park for a while, taking a nap, so how could she end up in this strange place? It was so strange that it made her feel uneasy.

"Classmate? Do you want to make a phone call?" the old man asked again.

Lin Lu quickly stood up, shook his head and said, "No, no, I... I can't remember my family's number."

She was about to leave, but before she could, she asked hesitantly, "Do you know how to get to Donghu Park?"

The old man's eyes suddenly became strange: "This is Donghu Park."

Lin Lu was stunned. It gets dark early in early winter. At five or six o'clock, the sky loses its last bit of blue and returns to the dark night.

Passing the bustling square area, the residential area here is more spacious and quiet. In the grass under the corners of the walls along the road, there are solar lights disguised as bird nests, which illuminate the name of the residential area clearly.

Lin Lu followed the route he remembered and found No. 18 Jingning Road, but his heart sank - there was no China Railway No. 8 Bureau residential area here anymore, and it had become the high-end residential Tanghu Mansion.

The home where she and Pei Yizhou lived just ceased to exist, vanished into thin air. Would Pei Yizhou still be there?
She walked to the east gate of Tanghu Mansion like a sleepwalker. The security guard standing there was a young man. He took a look at her twice - she was wearing thick clothes, but her face was frighteningly pale.

"Hello," Lin Lu asked in a trembling voice, "Excuse me, was this the residential area of China Railway No. 8 Engineering Group?"

"It seems so. But that was five or six years ago."

"Five or six years?" She became even more confused and tried to find familiar scenes around her.

How could five or six years have passed in the blink of an eye? No, it would take more time to demolish the house and rebuild it. It would probably take more than five or six years.

She stood there blankly. A resident came back and scanned his face to enter. He saw her standing at the door and looked at her strangely.

"Who is this? Isn't this one of our residents?"

The security guard said no, and called Lin Lu again: "Hello, are you looking for someone?"

"Yes, I'm looking for someone. I'm looking for... Is there a person named Pei Yizhou here? Probably twenty, no, around thirty years old." Lin Lu became anxious.

She inexplicably crossed five or six years, like a rabbit thrown alone into a strange cage. She was so panicked that her brain was dizzy and she couldn't wait to see the only person she knew and to find the only sense of security.

But the security guard didn't know every resident's name, and only said, "There is indeed someone named Pei, but I don't know which one you are looking for. Don't you have his phone number?"

Lin Lu held back tears of fear, shook her head, and asked again: "Can I wait for him here?"

The security guard disagreed: "No, this is a private residential area, non-residents are not allowed to approach. You can leave your name and number and wait for a phone call at the East Second Gate."

As they were talking, someone else came in and cars drove by one after another, so the security guard had no time to take care of her.

Lin Lu had no choice but to leave his name and find the second east gate.

There were several teahouses and convenience stores outside the East Second Gate. She stood outside a convenience store and looked around. The warm light was filled with the aroma of hot fast food. She touched her empty pockets, her eyes quickly turned red, and she couldn't help crying.

Where is Pei Yizhou? She is cold and hungry now.
