On October 1st, when Zhou Luoyang woke up, he did not experience the same day again.

He looked at Du Jing who was sleeping beside him, picked up the Eye of Fansaidi on the bedside table, and pondered for a moment.

Suppose that the date ring is twisted counterclockwise now, at twelve noon, they will return to yesterday's twelve noon.

This is really a magical thing. What is hidden in this form? Will it be the relics of an ancient god or the technological product left by alien civilizations on earth? Both of these speculations are enough to subvert the materialist experience education that an ordinary person receives throughout his life, completely disintegrate and crush, and reshape his worldview.

The world is not exactly what I see. Zhou Luoyang raised his eyes and pondered in the morning sunshine.

However, the study of the discipline of quantum mechanics has also brought about a radical reshaping of the physics discipline that accurately describes the material world. Compared with the law that "a photon can pass through two interference slits at the same time", the backtracking of time has become less difficult to accept.

"Do you want to go back for another day?" Du Jing asked.

"I don't want to," said Zhou Luoyang, "I've had enough, please don't move it anymore."

On that day, Du Jing drove the two brothers Zhou Luoyang out for an outing. The sun was very bright and Zhou Luoyang was in a good mood. With the reopening and moving of the store, it was like a new life started.

While basking in the sun on the lawn of the Summer Palace, Le Yao looked at the reflective watch on Du Jing's hand.

"I've seen this watch once," said Le Yao. "He wore it when he first met his grandfather."

Du Jing was twisting the beverage bottle cap for Le Yao, and nodded when he heard this, and said nothing.

"Do you think he looks like grandpa?" Zhou Luoyang suddenly said.

Du Jing: “…”

What Zhou Luoyang said naturally does not refer to the old man Du Jingxiang. In fact, the Zhou family's grandfather was tall and handsome when he was young, with white skin, and had a wealthy business for many generations. He was a very popular young man. When he was young, he had an arrogant temperament and no one looked down on him. Later, he followed the arrangements at home and married a lady from a capitalist who runs a textile factory, that is, their grandmother.

祖父年纪大了以后,才渐渐变得稳重起来.乐遥常听父亲生前说,小时候没少挨祖父的揍.人总是隔代亲,周洛阳的祖父对孙子们也异常疼爱.

The action of twisting the bottle cap was done by Le Yao's rare occasions when he saw his grandfather. At that time, he was in good health, steady and vigorous, with the eyes of Fansaidi on his wrist and a suit and shirt to visit his youngest grandson.

Seeing that the six-year-old Le Yao was struggling to deal with a bottle of drink, he carried him to his lap, unscrewed the bottle cap for him, inserted the straw, held him in one hand and fed him with the drink in the other.

This scene left a deep impression on Le Yao.

Du Jing sometimes has a arrogant temperament and only cares about the people around him. In addition, even if the sky collapses and the earth breaks, the volcano erupts has nothing to do with him. He is too lazy to look at everyone, nor does he care about others' evaluation of him, or even too lazy to contact this world. In this regard, it is very similar to the style of the Zhou family's grandfather, and he has the open-minded meaning of coming when it fits, and going when it doesn't fit.

Du Jing took off his watch casually, handed it to Le Yao, and got up and left.

"Have grandpa even worn it?" Zhou Luoyang said curiously.

"Yeah." Le Yao said, "Do you often be with grandpa?"

Zhou Luoyang said: "He raised me from eight to fourteen, but I hardly saw him wearing this watch."

Le Yao said: "I like him very much, but unfortunately I have only seen him twice."

Zhou Luoyang pondered and said nothing. Once, Le Yao said, and the other time, naturally, his father and stepmother died in a car accident and his grandfather went to attend the funeral. Since then, his grandfather's body has taken a sharp turn and the elderly cannot stand the blow of his son taking the lead. After only half a year, he passed away.

Le Yao looked at the watch and said, "Mom doesn't like him, and he doesn't like mom, so we rarely meet."

Zhou Luoyang’s parents’ marriage was a family marriage designated by his grandfather. His father resisted and divorced bravely and was with Le Yao’s mother. Naturally, he also severely offended his grandfather. This is an important point in the disagreement between father and son.

Zhou Luoyang said: "He loves you very much."

Le Yao said: "I felt it, although he didn't say it, because I look like grandma?"

Zhou Luoyang thought for a while and said, "Not that? I don't remember grandma very much, but grandpa said that you are a little like my uncle. In Chinese kinship culture... you are my grandma's youngest brother and raised by grandpa."

Blood ties are indeed a magical thing. Many forgotten pasts in time have been wonderfully linked by generations of inheritance.

"Don't change the date ring," Zhou Luoyang said. "The date ring of this table has some problems, so I've strengthened it."

He added a metal washer to Du Jing's watch to jamm the date ring. It required two circles inside and outside to be completely closed to loosen, so as not to rotate unconsciously or accidentally rub it. Zhou Luoyang planned to strengthen it after a while and use a needle to start it, which would be safer.

"I won't move it," Le Yao said, "I'll just take a look."

When Zhou Luoyang saw Du Jing talking to the vendor, he got up and went over.

"What to buy?" Zhou Luoyang said, "I have money here."

Du Jing did not bring any cash on him and said, "Buy a kite for Le Yao."

Zhou Luoyang smiled and said, "You care more about Leyao than me."

"Because he is your younger brother," Du Jing always said whatever he wanted in front of Zhou Luoyang, and replied, "I have to rely on others to make family relations smooth and please key people."

Zhou Luoyang: “…”

Zhou Luoyang accompanied his younger brother to fly kites, and Du Jing ran away with the kite. The sportswear he wore today was like a boy in a basketball team who was out for an autumn outing.

Le Yao smiled and said, "He is so nice to me."

Sometimes, Zhou Luoyang could not accept Le Yao's words at all, and could not even judge whether there was any other meaning in his words. It can only be attributed to the different environment of growing up since childhood and the existence of cultural barriers.

"Leyao, I may not be at home next weekend," Zhou Luoyang said, "but I will try my best to come back."

Le Yao immediately said: "No problem, I can take care of myself."

Zhou Luoyang pondered for a moment and wanted to entrust Le Yao to his relatives' home, but the key was that he was not familiar with his relatives. He couldn't tell whether his aunt and uncle were malicious or good. If he mentioned his father's affairs, he would make him sad.

"Attend Sotheby's autumn auction," said Zhou Luoyang.

Le Yao said cheerfully: "Go, business is the most important thing, will Du Jing go?"

Sotheby's only gave two invitation letters, and Du Jing must go. At first, Zhou Luoyang had no plans, but attending the autumn auction might help the case.

"Well," Zhou Luoyang thought for a while and said, "He should go there too."

Le Yao asked: "Are you investigating the missing collection case? To be honest, I still think his work is mysterious, but I didn't say anything."

Zhou Luoyang laughed and said, "What are you thinking in your mind."

"I want to go to Xiao Hei's house to play." Le Yao said again.

"Who is Xiao Hei?" Zhou Luoyang asked, "Classmate?"

Le Yao made many friends in the class, and everyone seemed to like him very much. A classmate with neurosis kept inviting Le Yao to his house to play and wanted to talk to him.

"Yes." Zhou Luoyang agreed and said, "After coming back, I will go to his house to pick you up."

Starting from the third day, Le Yao went on an official autumn outing with his classmates. Everyone gave their wallets and went to Inner Mongolia to play. Zhou Luoyang couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he paid the expensive tuition and chose this international school. Le Yao's student days were much richer than his.

"Okay," Zhou Luoyang sighed, "It should be a lot of fun."

Du Jing took out his suit and coat, looked at Zhou Luoyang, and said, "Is the handsome guy willing to accompany me to the world of two?"

Zhou Luoyang: “…”

"I thought you would sleep at home all day," Zhou Luoyang got into the car and fastened his seat belt. "Isn't sleeping well? Sleeping is also a world of two people."

"I've been sleeping in the last half month," Du Jing said, "and more than in the past three years, I've been sleeping enough."

"Working hard for a day can bring you a night of sleep." Zhou Luoyang sighed.

"A hard work can bring you eternal rest," Du Jing said, "It's time to work."

"What to do?" Zhou Luoyang received the ticket and was taken by Du Jing into the entertainment activity center on the top floor of a commercial plaza. "With work and escape from the secret room?"

Du Jing replied: "In the same case, the missing persons participated in this project before heading to Ho Chi Minh City."

Zhou Luoyang: "There is obviously no necessary connection between the two. Do you suspect that he was stunned and taken away after entering the secret room?"

Du Jing: "Mr. Xiao Wu, it is said that during the entertainment process, he met a friend who took him to Ho Chi Minh City."

Zhou Luoyang: "Then you should look for this 'friend', right? Play again, what strange ideas is this?"

Du Jing: "There is obviously a group leader in this event responsible for organizing it. Of course, the people who appeared in each episode are not exactly the same, but the two people who signed up this time played the one that Xiao Wu participated in four months ago."

Zhou Luoyang turned around and looked at the people queuing on the other side. He could have a cup of tea in the tea room first. After that, he could also receive the surroundings and souvenirs made in the photos. It would be different to say what he would take in the dark and terrifying secret room.

Even escape rooms are divided into classes these days.

"Do you suspect they are kidnapped through such gatherings?!" Zhou Luoyang said, "Not that."

Du Jing: "Of course not, but I suspect that they know each other through this form, develop relationships, and cultivate feelings. People with empty emotions always need a channel of understanding. Chat records are easy to leave online, while offline is the best opportunity without leaving any traces."

Zhou Luoyang: "Do you think you will develop a relationship with a stranger who happened to play in the same escape room?"

Du Jing: "It is a good opportunity to rely on and cooperate in the escape room."

Zhou Luoyang: "Suppose this human trafficker cultivates feelings with Xiao Wu in this way and then takes him to Vietnam to sell him, I don't think he will come again."

"Why not?" Du Jing said patiently, "As long as it is not discovered, this is obviously an inexhaustible and inexhaustible renewable resource."

Zhou Luoyang began to feel a little chilled.

"But not everyone..." Zhou Luoyang said, "Eat this set."

Du Jing: "It's not certain if you add other conditions. This is essentially an offline gay dating party."

"Do you have sex with the same sex?" Zhou Luoyang said.

"Didn't you find that all the men are waiting in line?" Du Jing signaled Zhou Luoyang to look at it, then lowered his head slightly, and looked at Zhou Luoyang's eyes in front of him.

Zhou Luoyang asked in confusion: "Why did they choose here?"

Du Jing: "Because the group owner invested in this escape room entertainment."

This inference is followed by another link, and Zhou Luoyang is speechless.

Du Jing said: "You will suffer later, and I am a dog-licking attack. I want to fuck you, so I joined the gay group, signed up for the group leader, and took you to participate in this game."
