10 o'clock sharp!

With bloodshot eyes, Zhuang Xiao and Dong Zeyu stared at the branches outside the window that had just sprouted new buds in the spring.

The leaves did not sway, and the branches did not shake.

There was no wind.

Dong Zeyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But Zhuang Xiao still didn't relax, and didn't say until 10:01: "Okay, let's find a motel nearby and have a good night's sleep first. We still have to work tonight."

"Ah? Hotel? Can't I sleep at home?" Dong Zeyu really didn't want to run away. He had been up all night and was in a tense state. Now that he relaxed, he was extremely sleepy.

"What if your mom gets into an 'accident' again after get off work?" Zhuang Xiao asked directly. "It's not clear whether the cooldown for 'accidents' is universal or specific to individuals, so we have to stay away from your mom, at least to prevent her from getting in danger."

This is also the reason why he did not reunite with Gu Shiyue or Shu Die.

And there is another important reason, he really can't figure out whether Shu Die still has those memories now.

Even if she is not well, can the elderly Shu Die still share her memories?

What if it is possible? Wouldn't that mean that all of my actions are under the other party's "surveillance"?
It would be better if we didn't act together for the time being.

Dong Zeyu thought about it and it made sense. "Let's go, but you have to drive, Brother Zhuang. I really can't stand it anymore."

"Okay, let's talk about everything after we wake up tonight."

Jian Duanjie said that when he woke up at night, the time was already 21:37.

While Dong Zeyu was washing up, Zhuang Xiao immediately called Gu Shiyue.

The call was connected quickly and Zhuang Xiao could hear the sound of the TV in the background.

"Are you all right over there?"

"It's okay, Xiaodie, watch TV and I'll do the report."

Gu Shiyue was as calm as ever. "You called me this morning and asked me to find someone to go to the chicken farm to check. I sent someone there, but nothing happened there, and no bodies were found."

"Okay, I got it. Be careful over there, don't run out, and keep an eye on Xiaodie."

"Ah."

After making the arrangements, Zhuang Xiao hung up the phone.

Dong Zeyu had just finished washing up, and Zhuang Xiao waved to him to come over, then spread out a map on the table by the window.

But when he looked up and saw Dong Zeyu pretending to look at the map, he couldn't help but said unhappily: "No, buddy, you are waiting for the pen to come to me personally, right?"

Dong Zeyu suddenly realized and reached for a pen, but this time he didn't hand the pen to Zhuang Xiao. Instead, he sat down in front of the map and said, "Okay, Zhuang Xiao, I don't need to stay in the community as a police officer if I have such good eyesight. Just tell me and I'll mark it."

Zhuang Xiao stroked his chin, "First, the large flat, then the chicken farm, then the Peony Park, and then the Municipal Bureau."

He was wondering whether the rental house opposite the high school where he and Shu Die took their lunch break counted. After all, Dong Weirui had been there too, but she went there during the timeline starting with "2".

Never mind, just add it in.

"There is also the community across the road from Dongfang No. 1 Middle School. Yes, and the Luo River beach across the road from the big flat."

He had been to that place with Dong Weirui before, although it was in another timeline, but what if?
"There shouldn't be anything else. Oh, there's also my home and the house I bought on Jianshe Road."

Dong Weirui must have been to his home. As for the house on Jianshe Road, it was his earliest rental house. I don't know if Dong Weirui has been to that place.

"Okay, I wrote it all down." Dong Zeyu looked up and asked, "Anything else?"

"Let me think."

Zhuang Xiao suddenly remembered something and snapped his fingers. "Wangfujing! How could I forget about that mall!"

You really have to see how "unexpected" a force 10 gale is.

"I can't think of other places for now. Anyway, we have to be fully armed and prepared to avoid any serious consequences."

If it's like Dong Zeyu's father, who found out there's a problem after he got there, then it will be too late to say anything.

Although there is reaction time, it is better to be safe than sorry.

"Okay, I see."

After Dong Zeyu wrote it all down, he looked up and asked, "Then, Brother Zhuang, where are we going first?"

"Let's go from low to high difficulty."

Zhuang Xiao thought for a moment before saying, "We should start with the less relevant areas.

"Let's go to the community opposite Dongfang No. 1 Middle School first."

Dong Weirui had only been to that place once, and that was in another timeline. It would be a good opportunity to go there and test it out first. Maybe no "accident" would happen in a place that Dong Weirui from a different timeline had been to?

And even if an accident happens, the degree of "accident" will not be too high because it is not closely related to Dong Weirui.

"Okay, let's order takeout first, and then we'll set off after twelve o'clock tonight."

Luoyang is not a big city. There are few people on the streets after 10 o'clock in the evening, and it is completely silent at midnight.

After twelve o'clock, an SUV was speeding on the quiet street.

Zhuang Xiao sat in the passenger seat, looking at the navigation on his phone while looking around vigilantly.

When the bus arrived near the high school, Zhuang Xiao reminded, "Let's go around, don't go to the school."

Although they tested that the "accidental" range of Dongfang No. 1 Middle School was within the courtyard wall, it was still better to hide there just in case.

After all, the scope of the channel to the "shadow world" was constantly expanding.

"clear."

Dong Zeyu nodded, then drove a long circle and parked the car on the auxiliary road opposite the school.

Then the two men got out of the car, opened the trunk and took out two explosion-proof shields.

That’s right, their equipment has been upgraded again.

Taking the transparent explosion-proof shield, Zhuang Xiao looked at the community inside through the railings and said, "Be careful, we may be within the range now."

There was nothing wrong with the neighborhood. The lights in most of the windows were off, but the light was still on in one window on the fifteenth floor, and there were also sounds of a couple arguing.

Dong Zeyu laughed and said, "The wind hasn't come yet, Brother Zhuang, what the hell! Wind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind blowing past.

Then Dong Zeyu suddenly heard Zhuang Xiao's shout, "Raise your shields!"

He subconsciously raised the explosion-proof shield above his head, and then he heard a loud bang, his arm felt heavy, and then a mobile phone bounced to the ground next to him, and there was the sound of broken glass hitting the explosion-proof shield.

"Fuck him!!!"

Dong Zeyu was still frightened and yelled, "Damn, throwing objects from a high place in the middle of the night!"

He shook his numb arms and looked up, only to see that many window lights were on.

At this moment he was still feeling a lingering fear.

If Zhuang Xiao hadn’t reminded him, the phone would have hit him on the top of his head!
Even though he was wearing an explosion-proof helmet, this would at least cause a concussion! And he might also injure his cervical spine!
So cruel!

"Let's retreat first, the noise is a bit loud."

Seeing that more and more windows were lit up, Zhuang Xiao quickly pulled Dong Zeyu into the car and ran away.

He confirmed two things at this moment.

First, the “accident” level here is level 3.

Second, even if Dong Weirui from a different timeline had been here, accidents would still have happened.

This shows that different timelines are not different "worlds". At least within the proper logic, different timelines are actually still within the same "world" system.

"Brother Zhuang, where are we going next?"

"Luo River Beach."

Zhuang Xiao raised his lips slightly, "It's late at night, there's no one by the river, and there's nothing else. I want to know how the accident will happen."

There can't be a tsunami.

The main reason is that it is spring now and the Luo River system is not that developed yet, so how could there be a tsunami in that place?

It's not even a sea, and it's not a large water system like the Qiantang River, the Yangtze River, and the Yellow River. The Luo River dried up in the past few years.

Dong Zeyu said nothing and just kept stepping on the accelerator.

In about ten minutes, the two arrived at the place.

After getting off the car, Zhuang Xiao looked back at the large flat across the road.

He knew that Gu Shiyue and Shu Die were there, but now was definitely not the time to go back, otherwise he would bring "accidents" to both of them.

"Let's go."

Zhuang Xiao withdrew his gaze and took Dong Zeyu to the beach where he once strolled with Dong Weirui.

Standing by the river, with his feet on the soft sand, Zhuang Xiao was quite emotional. "Grandmaster, I once walked here with your sister. At that time, I was overwhelmed by many things and even planned to give up. She took off her shoes and held them in her hands. At the same time, she smiled gently and comforted me that everything would be fine, and said that she would always stand by me. Her smile in the moonlight at that time was so destructive. Grandmaster, you know that feeling."

"I don't know, I have never been in love." Dong Zeyu said confidently.

That is indeed not as good as other timelines. Zhuang Xiao remembered that in one timeline he had a partner.

Seeing Zhuang Xiao silent, Dong Zeyu hesitated for a moment, his fat face was embarrassed, and then he gritted his teeth, "Brother Zhuang, actually I can sacrifice myself and take off my shoes."

"Get lost." Zhuang Xiao spat out cold words, "You beast, you only know how to make rice expensive when you live in this world."

Dong Zeyu was also happy, "Okay, then you just wait and see, Brother Zhuang, I will definitely let my sister squeeze all your betrothal gifts out of you in the future!"

"Then your sister will probably hack you to death first."

Zhuang Xiao also laughed.

After laughing, he said seriously: "Your sister is not a bad person. I firmly believe this."

Dong Weirui might have some special identity, but he would never harm Zhuang Xiao subjectively, he firmly believed this.

And it shouldn't have happened suddenly.

In his understanding, no matter which timeline of "1, 2, 3" it is, Dong Zeyu's father died early.

And the cause of death is the same: sacrifice in the line of duty.

In other words, this "accidental" mechanism has always existed.

But why didn’t Zhuang Xiao notice it before?

It was obvious that something "prevented" the "accident" from happening.

It may also be that Zhuang Xiao did not notice anything abnormal at the time, so the mechanism for the "accident" to occur was not triggered.

But Dong Weirui has definitely been giving Zhuang Xiao hints!
Because I can't say it directly, I have to hint at it!
In fact, her performance was quite obvious, but Zhuang Xiao didn't notice it.

In the earliest timeline starting with "3", she was always dead. An Lan discovered something wrong, so she chose to kill her in the first subjective sense.

Later in the timeline starting with "2", Dong Weirui seemed to be uninterested in everything, but as long as it was related to Shu Die, she would be interested.

Including these few times when she went back in time, she always took the initiative to keep an eye on Shu Die.

Zhuang Xiao knocked on his helmet and shook his head.

No, I can't think about it anymore. This kind of "presumption of guilt" is meaningless. It's nothing more than shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target.

"Do you feel the wind?" Zhuang Xiao asked.

"There's always wind by the river." Dong Zeyu looked around cautiously through the bulletproof glass on his helmet, "But this place is so empty, what kind of accident could have happened?"

Sharks and crocodiles? There are no such things in Luo River.

high tide?

Not to mention that they didn't have the ability, the key point was that the two of them didn't get close to the river.

Other than that it's just a beach, what danger could there be?

"This wind shouldn't be."

Feeling the breeze, Zhuang Xiao said, "The wind that prompted the warning appeared suddenly and lasted for less than ten seconds. Since it was a warning, it was naturally very abrupt."

If no one else can detect it, it's not a warning at all.

"Besides, with this little wind, if it was a corresponding 'accident', it would have come in seconds. We've been here for almost ten minutes, which means it wasn't this wind."

After hearing what Zhuang Xiao said, Dong Zeyu nodded, "That's right."

As they were talking, a strong wind suddenly blew up.

Dong Zeyu suddenly became nervous, "What the hell?! Brother Zhuang! This should be the time!"

Zhuang Xiao also subconsciously raised the explosion-proof shield, and then carefully observed the surroundings, "It should be correct, the wind speed is probably above level 6, or even level 7 or 8! Be careful!"

Dong Zeyu nodded, and then looked around carefully as well.

But nothing has changed around me.

Although the waves on the river were a little bigger due to the wind, they posed no threat to them.

There was no car on the road, so it was impossible for them to get lucky. Besides, the place where they were standing was quite far from the road by the river.

Even the sudden explosion of their SUV parked on the side of the road had no effect.

The building collapsed?

Unless it hits you directly, it won’t happen.

Besides, the building was very sturdy and there was no earthquake.

Zhuang Xiao really couldn’t imagine what kind of “accident” they would encounter.

Even the heroine of the first "Final Destination" locked herself in a separate room in a mental hospital in the second part, and wrapped all visible places with soft materials, but the god of death couldn't do anything to her until she came out by herself and then killed her again by accident.

But Zhuang Xiao will not take any chances.

He and Dong Zeyu were still standing back to back, holding up transparent explosion-proof shields and observing their surroundings carefully, while their brains were working rapidly.

There was nothing on the ground that could hurt them. Could it be that the large flat-floor community really collapsed and fell towards this side?
Not really, the wind speed hasn't reached that level.

Is that in the river?

That's impossible. There is nothing in the Luo River that can threaten them. Besides, there is not even a boat, so there is no possibility of a boat colliding with them.

On the road?
I've just thought about it. I'm not lucky. I don't even have a car.

Then there is no danger either on land or in the river. The "accident" can only come from one place!
Zhuang Xiao raised his head suddenly, and then his pupils shrank sharply!

I saw something falling from the dark night sky! And the speed was getting faster and faster!

"Get away!"

Zhuang Xiao grabbed Dong Zeyu and crawled away.

They had just run a few dozen meters when their feet shook! The soft sand caused the two of them to fall to the ground instantly.

But neither of them cared and just quickly turned around and looked behind them.

A huge piece of blue ice, nearly two people tall, fell on the spot where they had just stood, and even made a big hole in the sand!
