Chapter 6 Chapter Five Disorders of Time and Space

I looked at the giant—the person with the "two-way life path". Suddenly, my mind was in a mess. Not to mention I didn't know what to say, I didn't even know what to think! After a while, I asked, "How did this happen to him?" Bai Su shook his head: "He can't explain it himself." I asked again: "How long has this happened to him?" Bai Su took a breath: "He said that he lived to be seventy-two years old, and today is his forty-seventh birthday." I really didn't know how to react. I waved my hands and said, "He...has been on his way back for twenty-five years."

Bai Su said: "Yes, if this situation continues, he will have to walk for another forty-seven years before he can complete the course of his life!" I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and what I thought of was: if a person has a two-way life, is it a blessing or a misfortune? People love life and fear death. Two-way life can be said to live twice, breaking the law that people can only live once.However, one of them is the return journey.In the life of the return journey, after today is yesterday, what kind of scene is it like to be in it, it is really unimaginable. Liang Chenmei fixed her eyes on the giant, and her voice became a little strange: "Sister Bai, you said that he has traveled for twenty-five years...the return journey, that is to say, the next twenty-five years. He's been through it all?"

Bai Su said: "Yes, this is exactly the reason why he made a big fuss at the airport today and ordered the airport to stop operating." Bai Su suddenly said this, it was really the peak that stood out, Lu Jian said loudly: "What is the connection?" Bai Su said: "Today is his forty-seventh birthday. Everyone always remembers clearly what happened around him on his birthday. Moreover, this incident has happened twice to him, so Very impressed." Everyone (at least I am) is very confused, so it takes a lot of energy to digest what Bai Su said, and for a while, no one made a sound.

Bai Su also saw our situation, she said: "The situation is very strange, it takes a little effort to understand. I try to simplify things as much as possible." When she said this, she paused, and then said: "Today is the fourth day of July, please listen carefully, tomorrow is the fifth day of July. Our tomorrow is his yesterday—this point, we must first understand , Don’t worry about whether it’s possible, or whether it’s too absurd, let’s make sure of this first.” We all nodded, and Lu Jian repeated it like a primary school student after listening to the teacher's explanation: "Yes, let's be sure first, our tomorrow is his yesterday, and he has already passed our tomorrow."

Bai Su said: "And twice." I'm a bit confused: "Twice?" Bai Su said: "Yes, twice. One is the first journey of his life. After he passed his forty-seventh birthday on the fourth day of July, the next day is the fifth day of July. This journey of life is the same as ours. The second time is on the return journey of life, after the sixth day of July, to the fifth day of July, and then to today, his birthday." This kind of explanation is enough to understand, and everyone nodded. I also knew the gist of the matter: "He knew that something would happen on the fifth day of July. A plane would crash!"

Bai Su let out a sigh of relief, because she finally explained something that was almost impossible to explain clearly in human language. She said: "In his two-way life, he experienced the fifth day of July twice. Both times, he knew that a plane would crash on this day, with hundreds of people on board, and none of them survived. action today." Although Bai Su explained the matter in general, but my mind was even more confused, I said: "His purpose is to let the plane take off, so that the plane crash will not happen?" Bai Su said: "Exactly." Not only me, everyone shouted: "No... No, this is wrong!"

Bai Su said: "Yes, this part is a bit confusing." I responded loudly: "It's not just 'a bit of a mess', it's a mess, it's a mess, it's unacceptable!" Bai Sudao: "Before I ask the question, I want to emphasize that the matter is unreasonable - I have stated it repeatedly, so please don't understand it with common sense. As long as you accept this fact, it is not too unacceptable. Because The thing itself is completely beyond the logical training we have been trained in since childhood, and it will feel confusing." I smiled bitterly: "Okay, those who advocate 'accept what you understand, and accept what you don't understand', you can sigh that I am not alone."

Bai Su spread his hands: "There is no way, if you insist on using common sense to understand, it is impossible to proceed." I said: "Even so, there are some things that must be clarified." Bai Su said: "Please tell me." I said, "On the fifth day of July, will a plane crash tomorrow?" Bai Su said: "Yes, he knows." I took the trouble and repeated: "The fifth day of the seventh month of the Yihai year, has he passed this day twice?" Bai Su nodded: "Yes, and it's the same year of Yihai." I took a breath: "That is to say, the plane crash happened twice?"

Everyone nodded when I asked that question, and it was clear that was exactly what they wanted to ask. Bai Sudao: "This point is a very concrete illustration of things that cannot be understood with common sense. It is a good example. If we figure it out, we can avoid causing confusion on other issues." When she said this, she paused for a moment, and then said: "Although he has experienced two plane crashes, in fact, there was only one plane crash. On the fifth day of July in the year of Yihai, he met him when he went. Pass by on the way back. Don't forget that his life is a two-way trip!"

All of a sudden, Liangchen Meijing, Huang Tang, and Lu Jian spoke one after another, creating a mess.I yelled: "Don't mess around, let me unify the hair!" The pounder fell silent, and before I made a sound, Bai Su said again: "Everyone, calm down. Although many problems are entangled and seem like a mess, as long as they are carefully sorted out, a clue can still be sorted out." At this time, Bai Su had a lot to do, she not only had to talk to us, but also to talk to the giant."Talking" with the giant was quite exhausting, often requiring big moves. I said: "Okay, take your time, let's start with the two-way life. Now, his life is on the way back?"

Bai Su said: "Yes." I asked: "In his first life, he lived to be seventy-two years old. That is to say, after twenty-five years?" Bai Su nodded, expressing affirmation. Lu Jian yelled: "God! He has been to the future!" Bai Su's expression was slightly puzzled: "There should be no doubt about this. However, because human beings have not really understood what 'time' is, so there are all kinds of things about the past, the future, and so on. incomprehensible questions." Lu Jian said: "Time is time, what don't you understand?" I hummed, and Bai Su patiently explained: "If you ask: what is time? I believe no one can answer it, so I have to do what you said just now: time is time. But such an answer means no answer, time is extremely abstract , there is no concrete thing to show.” Liang Chenmei said: "A sunrise and sunset is a day. This should be specific." Bai Su said: "No, the phenomenon of sunrise and sunset has lasted for hundreds of millions of years; while the concept of time has only emerged after the development of human beings. Moreover, every sunrise and sunset are the same, but why do they have to be today? Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? And why do people’s lives come to an end as time goes by? Time does not exist at all. Human life and death. Didn’t human beings establish a concept and regulate their own lives?” Bai Su said it in one breath, halfway through I heard it, I couldn't help patting myself on the head, because these words caused even more confusion in my mind. I took advantage of Bai Su's words to come to an end, and hurriedly said: "Don't discuss these things, it's even more chaotic. Just like what you said just now, we don't need to understand it with common sense." Bai Su sighed: "It can only be like this." I repeated: "Has he been to the future?" Bai Su reaffirmed: "It should be so, otherwise, how would he come back?" I tried: "It can be assumed that time is unique to each person, that is, each person has his own time." Bai Su sighed again: "Actually, there is no need to assume anything, first accept the facts, and then discuss. The fact is that this giant has experienced the fifth day of July twice, and both times he knew that there was a plane crash." I held up my hands to show that I no longer supported my views.Although others looked embarrassed, it was really hard to say anything better, so they looked embarrassed. Bai Su continued: "So, he wants the airport to stop operating - if there are no planes taking off, naturally there will be no plane crashes." I also sighed like her: "Your words are caught in the most unsolvable contradiction of the time issue—since two plane crashes happened on the fifth day of July, how can he change this fact? You know, then It’s a fact that has happened, not something that hasn’t happened, something that might have happened.” Liang Chenmei also said: "It's still wrong. In this way, there are three fifth days of July. How can one plane crash three times?" Bai Su couldn't help but tapped his head lightly: "I don't understand either, but he insisted on doing so. I asked him, but he couldn't explain why. He just said that he didn't want to know that there was a tragedy, but let the tragedy happen." I suddenly thought of a key question: "Ask him, during the twenty-five years between the ages of forty-seven and seventy-two, every day has passed twice, are these two times exactly the same? " Liangchen Meijing reacted very quickly, before Bai Su could answer, she rushed to say: "Of course it's different, the last time on the fourth day of July was twenty-five years ago, and we were not born at all!" After speaking, they corrected it immediately: "It's not twenty-five years, it's fifty years, and there are no planes!" I shook my head: "You use common sense to look at this again-it's not fifty years. Years ago or twenty-five years ago, it's today." Bai Su said: "Yes, it's all today." Liang Chenmei refused to accept: "We only met him once, but he already had two todays, so on the last day, he also made a scene at the airport?" Bai Su said: "No, I asked him in detail. He said that last day, he was catching turtles on the edge of Taihu Lake... On the way out and back, although today is the same, everything can be very different." I whispered: "What happened can be changed!" Bai Su said: "Yes, after today, he will go back to yesterday, yesterday was the third day of July, but it was the third day of July on his return trip, which can be completely different from the third day of July on the way out. What he saw and encountered Yes, it was a different group of people and something else happened." I said "ah" again: "Does this mean that things can be changed?" Bai Su shook his head, expressing that he was not sure, and I stared at the giant again: "So, he also knows what happened on the third day of July?" Bai Su nodded: "Of course, he experienced it when he went there, and we all know what happened yesterday, but he can't know what will be different on the third day of the seventh month of the return trip." This kind of situation is really weird and inexplicable. I don’t know what language to use to describe it. It coincides with a sentence I often say: human language can only express what normally happens in human life.As for the "two-way life" like that giant, it is definitely not the normal life of human beings, so it cannot be expressed accurately in words or words. All of a sudden, everyone's mind was in chaos, Lu Jian said to Huang Tang: "Director Huang, I think... you and I will definitely be condemned." Huang Tang smiled wryly, and glanced at me: "I think Mr. Wesley also agrees with my decision. Since there are warnings, it's always better to be careful." Huang Tang's expression and tone were like a drowning person, grasping at a straw and not letting go. I know that a 24-hour shutdown of a large international airport is big news worldwide. Just now the director of the airport tried his best to oppose it, but Lu Jian was inclined to accept the warning; Greater responsibility.The condemnation from all sides will inevitably come one after another, because things can be changed. If there is no plane taking off, there will be no plane crash, and there is no way to prove whether the giant's warning is true. The giant was deaf and dumb, and behaved strangely. Bai Su was the only person who could believe what he said the most. The reason why we also believed that there was such a thing as "two-way life" was all because of Bai Su. Huang Tang said just now that I must also agree to the closure of the airport. He meant that I should also bear a share of the responsibility, and I am not a public official, so there is nothing to blame.I quite agree with Huang Tang's situation, so I said: "Yes, I completely agree. Although the loss of closing the airport is huge, it's better than a plane crash, killing hundreds of people." My words were just out of my mouth, and the door was opened with a "bang", and a group of people rushed in, and the people who rushed in were extremely aggressive.Although they didn't have any weapons in their hands, their aura was comparable to that of the revolutionaries who stormed into the Bastille Prison back then. The first person is the director of the airport, followed by the person who is known to the whole city and is the chief police chief.The next two people were very imposing, and one of them called out as soon as they came in: "I am the chief of civil aviation, the police have no right to close the airport, absolutely no right!" The other one said in a sharp voice, "I am the secretary general of the city government. Which one ordered the closure of the airport?" The chief of police also repeated the same question. He obviously asked the question knowingly, because when he asked the question sharply, he looked directly at Huang Tang. Huang Tang's face turned pale, but his expression was determined. He puffed out his chest: "It was me, I ordered the airport to be closed!" Several people roared together: "Why?" Huang Tang also went all out: "If you ask questions one by one, and pay attention to the demeanor of a gentleman, I will answer." The chief of civil aviation and the chief of police were still vying to speak, and there was another sound of footsteps outside the door, and a team of armed oathmen came over. The director of the airport yelled: "Arrest all these people!" The police officer who came from the cake looked at their supervisor, who took a breath and asked Huang Tang, "Why?" Huang Tang also sighed: "Because I received a report, there will be a large passenger plane crash!" As soon as I heard Huang Tang say this, I couldn't help sighing in my heart, knowing that things were going to be bad. Because no one in the world can explain such a thing clearly to officials at all levels. No matter where, what kind of officials, there is a set of rules of conduct, which are sacred and inviolable, that is: no matter what happens, don't try to hold them responsible, they have more than 9,800 ways and excuses, to shirk Responsibility, explaining that everything has nothing to do with them! Bingran, the director immediately asked: "What report? From whom? Is it convincing? Can you provide a reasonable explanation to all aspects of the loss? Is it absolutely necessary to adopt a comprehensive closure?" Huang Tang also knew that he didn't have a satisfactory answer to the director's series of questions, and he knew that his situation was very bad, so he didn't bother to defend himself. He just pointed weakly at the giant: "The report comes from this deaf-mute." The director looked at the giant and snorted: "He is an active criminal who has taken many hostages. Instead of arresting him, you will listen to his nonsense!" He said, but also stamped: "It's too hateful!" He also told the airport supervisor: "The airport can resume operations immediately!" The supervisor agreed loudly, and Bai Su hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, if the operation resumes and an accident happens, who will be responsible?" The director is very hateful. He clearly knows Bai Su, but he raised his head and asked, "Who are you? How can you interfere with the police's execution of tasks?" Bai Su said coldly: "I'm a commoner, but as the only person who can communicate with the person who made the report, I need to remind you that although the matter is very weird, if you don't follow his warning, there will definitely be a major accident. , when the time comes, the whole world will be interested to know, who is responsible?!" The director was surprised and angry: "The whole world?" Bai Su winked at Liang Chenmei, and the two immediately said: "Yes, we are reporters, we work for seven news agencies in Switzerland and Western Europe, and we are appointed by a news agency of an Asian country to handle any news related matters on behalf of that country. " As the two said, they had already arrived in front of the director. They each took out their ID folders and opened them. There were more than a dozen ID cards inside, proving their identities. These identities of them are not nonsense, but real facts.As a freelance reporter for a European news agency, it's okay, but the identity of a senior reporter for a national news agency in an Asian country is not easy, which is the result of their unusual contacts with the ruler of this country—a pair of twin brothers.Not only this identity, they also have the identity certificate issued by the United Nations as a journalist.If a piece of news is published through them, it can indeed be known to the whole world. The director looked at these documents with an ugly look on his face, and asked in a dry voice: "What plane crashed? Did the informant set up explosives, or was he arranging a conspiracy? Tell him to speak out!" Bai Su said in a deep voice: "No, he has experienced it, he is a person with two-way life, he—" Then, Bai Su talked about the giant's unique "two-way life". As soon as Bai Su said it, I knew it was going to be bad - no one would believe this kind of situation! As Bai Su continued to talk, the expressions of those officials became weird all the way.My wry smile became more and more serious. Afterwards, I said to Bai Su: "You know that those people will never believe such a thing, why do you still say it?" Bai Su was helpless: "If I don't tell the truth, what else can I say! They won't believe anything, so it's better to tell the truth." I said: "You can just scare them blindly. They are afraid that they will be responsible if something happens, so they dare not object!" Bai Su shook his head: "Didn't you notice? There are four video cameras in the office that start at the same time, and our words and deeds in the office are recorded one by one. Even if there is an accident, once the records are made public, they only need to say: At that time, no one would believe the unfounded report and attribute the responsibility to an accident. They were confident and would not be intimidated!" I stayed for a long while - what Bai Su said was indeed the truth, and I couldn't refute it. After Bai Su finished speaking, the police director suddenly recognized Bai Su again, he laughed loudly and said, "Mrs. Wei, your ability to make up stories has obviously surpassed that of Mr. Wei!" Bai Su said seriously: "I didn't make up this story, it was told by this deaf-mute gentleman, please believe what he said." The director continued to laugh: "What if I say, I don't believe it?" It's really not easy for Bai Su, under such teasing, she can still maintain a sincere attitude, she said: "I hope you are right, and I also hope that you can keep laughing." However, the director completely lost his demeanor and sense of humor. He suddenly raised his voice: "Such a person provides such a ridiculous report, which gives me a reason not to accept it at all. Even if something happened, I don't have to Blame yourself." Bai Su said quietly: "Yes, in terms of administration or law, you don't have to take any responsibility. But if something really happens, you will definitely be condemned by your own conscience in your life." The director proudly said: "My conscience tells me that my decision should be responsible for the public interest!" He pointed at the giant and shouted, "Arrest this man!" Me, Bai Su and Huang Tang shouted at the same time: "No!" But the team of police officers had already rushed towards the giant. What happened next was so chaotic that I couldn't see clearly one by one. Afterwards, I asked Bai Su, "Did you do anything before the police arrested you?" Bai Su asked back: "What hands and feet?"
