Xu Dingjia said happily: "Do you still remember the teaching building before?"
"Teaching building?" A thought flashed through Jiang Cheng's mind, but he didn't know what it was specifically.
Xu Dingjia said: "The teaching building that was previously destroyed by the void monster became intact after we left. Because the time here seems to have been fixed, everything that has changed will be restored to the original time."
"What does this have to do with the disappearance of the monster?" Jiang Cheng was still puzzled.
Xu Dingjia explained: "It is precisely because you destroyed the carport and disrupted the originally fixed time. In this way, it is equivalent to cutting off the channel between the void monster and us."
"So that's it." Jiang Cheng roughly understood.
Xu Dingjia said: "However, we still can't be careless now. The carport will soon be restored to its original appearance, and the monster will chase after it again."
The two stopped talking nonsense and chased after Zhang Yi and Li Feng.
The four finally ran under the ancient tree, but Jiang Cheng found that everything behind the tree was still blurry, as if the scene in front was blocked by something.
"Finally caught up." Xu Dingjia sighed longly.
Jiang Cheng discovered that Li Feng, who had already arrived, had been waiting for them. It seemed that he was still hesitating whether to follow Zhang Yi into this twisted space passage. Jiang Cheng glanced at Zhang Yi seemingly unintentionally, but he was also very conflicted inside. Xu Dingjia exclaimed: "The carport has been restored!"
Jiang Cheng looked back and saw that the bicycle shed that collapsed before was actually intact. And among them, there was a black shadow passing through, speeding towards them.
Zhang Yi shouted anxiously: "Let's go in, hurry up!"
As he spoke, he took the lead in getting into the blurry scene. Jiang Cheng noticed that Xu Dingjia was looking at him again. Although he was confused, he knew that it was not the time to ask questions. He just said, "I can only take a gamble. I bet it is safe inside!"
Xu Dingjia nodded and dived into the passage. Li Feng had no better choice but to follow Xu Dingjia. Seeing that everyone had evacuated, Jiang Cheng ran towards the passage himself. Just before his body disappeared into the blurry scene, Jiang Cheng subconsciously glanced back, but suddenly felt inexplicably that the monster seemed to have a proud smile.
When he opened his eyes, Jiang Cheng found himself in a strange place. One side here is the wall of an unknown building, and the other three sides are walls. The ground is overgrown with weeds, and there are a few low trees. There is an ancient well in the middle. Fortunately, the void monster did not follow, and the others were standing beside him unharmed.
"Where is this?" Jiang Cheng asked Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. But compared to this, can you do me a favor?"
Jiang Cheng felt his heart beat faster for no reason, and couldn't help but asked cautiously: "What are you helping me with?"
Zhang Yi walked to the ancient well and said, "Help me rescue my friends. They are in this well."
"Ancient well?" Jiang Cheng looked towards the ancient well, his heart beating faster and faster for no reason, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Xu Dingjia came over and asked, "What do you feel?"
"Feelings?" Jiang Cheng looked at Xu Dingjia, "How do you know I can feel...those things?"
Xu Dingjia stared at Jiang Cheng cautiously and said slowly: "I guess, next, we will most likely need to rely on you to leave safely."
"Me?" Jiang Cheng was confused and was about to ask Xu Dingjia.
At this time, Zhang Yi became a little anxious and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Come and help me!"
Facing Zhang Yi's request for help, the three of them remained silent, and the place fell into an eerie silence.
Zhang Yi looked at the three of them in confusion and asked angrily: "What's going on with you? I kindly helped you escape, but why are you unwilling to help me."
Finally, Jiang Cheng asked: "Who are you? Or rather, what are you?"
"What do you mean by this? Do you still think of me as a ghost?" Zhang Yi said loudly: "I am a human! You have touched my hand, how can a ghost's hand be hot! Don't you want to help me? So I deliberately delayed the time!"
"But..." Jiang Cheng felt his face getting hot. Seeing that Xu Dingjia and Li Feng were still silent, he had no choice but to continue asking, "But, why do you know how to avoid that monster?"
"I remember!" Zhang Yi said matter-of-factly.
"Remember?" Jiang Cheng found this statement suspicious, "But you said that you just entered here not long ago. Have you been here many times before?"
"No, this is my first time here. I remember because..." At this point, Zhang Yi was also stunned and murmured: "Yes, this is my first time here. How do I know how to get out of here?" That monster? My memory...what's going on?"
Faced with Zhang Yi's question, Jiang Cheng certainly didn't know how to answer it, so he had to look at Xu Dingjia.
Xu Dingjia squinted his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Zhang Yi said at this time: "What's the point of thinking about this question? My friends are still trapped in this well! You help me rescue them first. As for your questions, I will definitely think of the answer!"
"But..." Xu Dingjia finally spoke at this time, he said: "Is your friend really still in the well?"
"What...are you talking about?" Zhang Yi looked at Xu Dingjia in surprise and said, "How could they not be here? They are trapped inside and have no way to get out. They..."
Zhang Yi looked back at the ancient well behind him. It was pitch dark inside and it was impossible to tell whether there was anyone there.
Zhang Yi shouted loudly into the well: "Are you still in there?"
No one responded to Zhang Yi.
"What... what's going on?" Zhang Yi continued to shout into the well, "I found someone to save you! Answer me quickly! Lang Zhijia! Cheng Peng! What time is it? Don't be kidding!"
There was only Zhang Yi's echo in the well, and there was no other movement.
"Where have they gone? I clearly saw..." Zhang Yi muttered to himself, his expression confused and not fake.
Li Feng finally said at this time: "Do you still remember what time it is now?"
Finally having a question he could answer, Zhang Yi immediately said: "Of course I know, it's around 12:30 in the evening."
"At night?" Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "We obviously set out in the morning, and the latest we arrived here was noon in the day. How could it be night?"
Just when Jiang Cheng was still very confused, Li Feng asked again, "What year is this year?"
"Do you think I'm a primary school student?" Zhang Yi replied dissatisfied: "Isn't it 2037 now?"
"2037!" Jiang Cheng finally couldn't help shouting.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhang Yi looked at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng looked at the child in front of him with wide eyes, and answered word by word: "It is 2044 now."
