"Tsk, what great discovery can he make? Wu Chen, don't speak for him. I know him very well."
Xia Youlan was not polite and poured a bucket of cold water on him. Hou Junji was her husband, and when it came to understanding him, no one knew him better than her.
"No, Senior Sister Youlan, do you have any timing equipment on you?" Wu Chen suddenly changed the subject.
"Timing equipment, what do you ask it for?"
She must have the timing equipment on her. Her storage ring has such a large space that there is no problem putting one or two pieces of timing equipment in it.
Wu Chen said: "Senior Sister Youlan, please take out the timing equipment and let me see it."
"You want timing equipment?"
Wu Chen smiled and said mysteriously, "You will know when you take it out and have a look."
Xia Youlan looked at him with suspicion on her face, not understanding what he was up to.
However, she still took out the timing equipment, the funnel timer, from the storage ring.
Funnel timer is a very common timing device with a wide range of uses and is relatively easy to produce.
"Give."
Xia Youlan handed the funnel timer to Wu Chen.
Wu Chen took a look, narrowed his eyes, and nodded in his heart. It seemed that things were just as he thought.
"Senior Sister Youlan, you might as well take a look at your hopper timer."
"What's wrong with my hopper timer? Let me check."
According to what Wu Chen said, Xia Youlan looked at her funnel timer with her eyes wide open.
"Hey, why is this happening?"
Looking at the funnel timer in her hand, Xia Youlan opened her eyes wide, her heart was shocked and full of disbelief, because she found that her funnel timer seemed not to be working.
"What's going on? Why is it not working? Is it broken?"
Xia Youlan took it and examined it carefully, but found no problems.
"Um, Jun Ji, take out your timer and have a look. Mine seems to be broken and not working very well."
Hou Junji nodded and agreed: "Okay."
After saying that, he also took out his own funnel timer. When he took a look, his eyes widened and his pupils shrank, because he found that his funnel timer didn't seem to be working either.
"How could this happen? My timer is broken. Is your timer broken too?"
Xia Youlan also opened her eyes wide and looked at Hou Junji's funnel timer. Unexpectedly, his funnel timer was also not working. This made people curious. Her funnel timer was broken, which could be attributed to accidental. However, there was no reason for Hou Junji's funnel timer to break as well. This was too weird.
Hou Junji checked and tapped the funnel timer, but no matter how hard he tried or how he checked, the funnel timer just didn't work, which made him very distressed.
Immediately, he thought of a possibility and said, "Perhaps when it was outside before, it was affected by the energy outside, accelerated its operation, and burned out."
Before, when we were outside, affected by the mysterious power of the abandoned city, the speed of time accelerated, and the running speed of this funnel timer also accelerated accordingly. It has been in an abnormal operation and it is very likely to break down.
However, Wu Chen shook his head: "No, no."
Xia Youlan asked: "Wu Chen, you said no, what does that mean? Do you know the reason behind this?"
Wu Chen nodded. He didn't know it before, but now he knows it.
"Tell me quickly, what is going on?"
Xia Youlan was very anxious. The funnel timer suddenly stopped working. This was an obvious abnormality. Anyone would be very anxious if it were her.
Wu Chen said: "This matter was discovered by Senior Brother Hou. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have discovered it."
"I, did I find out?"
Hou Junji pointed at himself and asked in amazement: "What did I discover? How come I didn't know about it?"
Wu Chen smiled and reminded him, "Brother Hou, didn't you notice that the colors of this mural are so bright, just like new ones?"
"this?"
Hou Junji raised his head and looked at the murals. He had indeed discovered this problem before, but it was just a problem. As for why it was like this, he didn't really think it through. He just felt that there was a problem.
"Hey, Wu Chen, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what's going on."
Xia Youlan was anxious and wanted to know the answer.
Wu Chen said: "If I'm not mistaken, the time in this space should be in a completely static state, without any flow at all."
"What did you say, time doesn't flow?"
Xia Youlan and Hou Junji opened their eyes wide at the same time, feeling incredible. This was the first time they had heard of the idea that time did not flow.
Time is a very strange thing. Whether you can feel it or not, it is flowing all the time. It doesn't stop flowing just because you can't sense it. There is no possibility of it stopping at all.
However, now they heard the saying that time stood still, which was so weird and unbelievable.
"No, that's impossible. No matter where you are, time will always move forward."
Xia Youlan shook her head fiercely, not believing it.
Wu Chen said in a deep voice: "Senior Sister Youlan, you are right. Time is indeed moving forward. No matter when or where, it is constantly moving."
"Now that you've said that, why did you say that time has stopped and is not flowing?"
Wu Chen smiled and said, "The time I'm talking about is running in the outside world, in the outside space, but here it is an exception and it doesn't run."
Xia Youlan and Hou Junji looked at each other. They were confused and had no idea what Wu Chen was talking about.
Wu Chen said: "Have you forgotten that we are now in the abandoned city? You should be very clear about the strangeness of the abandoned city. Even the speed of time has accelerated. Why can't time stop?"
The two were stunned again. After listening to Wu Chen's words, it seemed to make sense. This was an abandoned city, full of evil everywhere. It was impossible to speculate with common sense. Before, they were outside and were affected by the mysterious energy. The speed of time accelerated, which accelerated the mutation and aging of their bodies, turning them into old people, and they almost died in it.
Since the acceleration of time has already happened, why won't time stagnate now? This may be incredible and unbelievable in other places, but in the abandoned city, it is entirely possible.
