004: Attic Otherworld(1/2)
"Dad, [txt novel www.txtyuan.com]Which hospital is my younger brother in?"
"The county hospital is not good, it's in the city's second hospital."
Wang Huan said: "Are you already being treated?"
"It's been a few days since the treatment was treated. I spent all my money and owed a lot. But if I don't pay, I will stop the medicine and your brother cannot die." Wang Huan's father cried and said, "Huan, Dad knows it's not easy for you, but my parents are not capable of it. I really can't find the money. You are wronged and borrow it from your wife!"
Wang Huan said: "I will send you money tomorrow."
Then, he hung up the phone, closed his eyes and lay on the bed.
Thirty or forty thousand yuan, saving my brother's life.
Is this money much? Of course not much.
But this money is a lot, because Wang Huan now has less than two thousand yuan.
Wang Huan called the club manager and said, "Mr. Qian, I want to advance my salary for one year."
"I'm dreaming, you won't have to go to work in the future." The other party hung up the phone directly.
When Wang Huan called again, he could no longer connect.
He hesitated for a while and dialed another number, Tian Xu.
This is his teammate, the National Games 200-meter champion. At that time, he and Wang Huan were considered opponents and friends.
"Brother Tian, it's me, Wang Huan."
"Huanzi, is it your boy? You finally have to call me. Where have you been going over the years? Do you know how many times I call you? I won't tell me if I change the number, and I won't treat me as my brother at all." Tian Xu was very enthusiastic.
Wang Huan said: "Brother Tian, my brother has acute encephalitis and is lying on the hospital bed to need money. The 30,000 yuan you borrowed from me before by buying a car. Can you return it to me?"
The other party was silent for a moment, and then said, "Huanzi, it's really a coincidence. If you called this two days earlier, I would not only have the money to pay you back, but also borrowed you a loan. But I just bought a villa yesterday, and not only spent the money, but also owed a loan of 2 million yuan. I'm so sorry. By the way, I should go to train and contact us often and drink together. How long have we been meeting?"
Then, the other party hung up the phone.
Wang Huan called another phone number, his high school classmate Li Qing, was still a good friend. When Wang Huan was in a glory two years ago, he turned 20,000 yuan on business to Wang Huan.
"Mr. Li, I am Wang Huan."
"Oh, old classmate, big champion, big athlete, why do you remember to call me?" The other party became even more enthusiastic.
Wang Huan said: "My brother has acute encephalitis and is waiting for money on the hospital bed to help him. Can you pay me back the 20,000 yuan?"
The other party laughed loudly and said, "Old classmate, don't joke. You are a big athlete and a famous person. You have also married a second-generation official wife. Are you kidding me for 20,000 yuan? Isn't I kidding me? Is Han Guo? I won't talk to you anymore, urging me to have a meeting. When you come back, we will get together again and drink to death..."
Then, the phone also hung up.
Next, Wang Huan made more than a dozen calls, all of whom Wang Huan had helped before, but he borrowed a total of 3,000 yuan, which was a drop in the bucket.
The one who borrowed him money was a girl who went to work before she graduated from high school. She was the worst financial situation in the class. Her name was Li Xiaomei. About 80% of the original families who called this name were poorer.
At that time, she seemed to have had a crush on Wang Huan.
Everyone else was very enthusiastic when making the phone call, and they always spoke of great champions and celebrities, who tried their best to praise Wang Huan, but they didn't borrow a penny.
The key is that Wang Huan helped them when he was in the glory of the world.
Everyone knows that Wang Huan is in a downturn, and probably no one is willing to lend money to someone with no future.
In this way, Wang Huan called for three hours but didn't borrow money, but annoyed other residents of the group rented house.
"Don't fucking call. It's twelve o'clock, so why don't you let me sleep? I'm going to work tomorrow."
"Do you have a public moral character? You can't fight tomorrow. If you make a fuss, you'll go to bed and just go over and smash your phone."
Wang Huan climbed up the stairs, went up to the bathroom in the attic, and looked at himself in the mirror.
His face was swollen, his eyes were red, his hair was scattered, and his beard was unshaven.
How decadent, how down and outdated, how embarrassed, what is the difference between you and the homeless man on the roadside?
How energetic and handsome, two years ago I was?
I have fantasized countless times that I stood on the podium of the Olympic Games, with a glory.
"Wang Huan, why did you become like this?" He roared at himself in the mirror, and then punched him hard.
Do you have to rely on evil ways to make money? Then let’s have evil ways to make money!
"Boom..."
At the same time, a burst of thunder sounded outside, and a lightning bolt slashed down and directly penetrated into Wang Huan's bathroom.
Suddenly the entire bathroom was bright, and I don’t know how many times the sunlight was, and it almost blinded.
It seemed as if an electric current penetrated Wang Huan's body, causing him to faint and be unconscious.
……………………
I don’t know how long it took, but Wang Huan woke up.
Touching his head, there was a scar.
Is this lightning left behind? Such fierce lightning leaves such scars. Shouldn’t it be burning the whole person directly?
He had difficulty getting up from the bathroom floor and looked at the scars on the top of his head in the mirror.
Then, he was completely shocked.
Where did the mirror go?
The frame of the mirror is still there, but the mirror is replaced by a ball of light and shadow, a door shape, and there is distorted nothingness in the middle.
This...what is this?
It looks like a portal in the game?
Wang Huan felt that it seemed like she had hallucinations or was she sleeping?
He closed his eyes first and then opened it, and found that this thing like a portal was still there. He twisted his thighs hard, and it was so painful that it was not a dream.
Wang Huan couldn't help but reach out to touch the portal.
It is said that this is a mirror, and his hands should be blocked, but it penetrates directly, and his hands disappear from his sight.
What is behind this portal? Could it be a different world?
This is so bizarre and incredible that it completely breaks his inherent common sense.
There have been some time travel novels in 2003, most of which are from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Wang Huan has also read a few books and learned about them.
"Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Without much hesitation, nor was he worried about any danger, Wang Huan took a deep breath and walked directly into the portal.
A burst of coldness, and the brain was briefly blank.
Then, he disappeared directly into this small bathroom and disappeared from this world.
…………
Open your eyes and look at the world inside this mirror.
Is this a different world?
All Wang Huan saw was the sky full of wild animals and ruins everywhere.
This should be a very developed city, but it has been destroyed. The densely packed tall buildings, like steel forests, some have collapsed and some have been riddled with holes.
There is no sign of life, it seems like a world that has completely died.
The end of the world?
Immediately afterwards, Wang Huan discovered that the world in the mirror seemed to be the earth and the city of Hangzhou.
Because he saw the words XH District of Hangzhou in the ruins, and even the location coincided with reality, it was also on Zixia Road.
However, in reality, Hangzhou City is far from so developed, and there are not so many tall buildings. Although it has turned into ruins, these tall buildings are often dozens or hundreds of floors, and many roads are built at a height of hundreds of meters, and the light rail is also in the clouds.
Is this... the future Hangzhou City?
Wherever you see, there are ruins of the apocalypse, only one building is intact, brand new and dazzling, emitting a milky white light, like a crane standing out in the flock.
It was a high tower, six or seven hundred meters high, and dozens of times the size of Leifeng Tower.
Although this tall tower is full of oriental quaint charm, it is also full of technological sense, because the entire tower is crystal clear and integrated.
Wang Huan originally wanted to explore the ruins, but was attracted by the tall tower.
The world is dark and desperate, and only this tall tower is full of hope and radiant.
I couldn't help but walk towards this tall tower, and when I came to it, I felt its hugeness more and more.
"brush……"
The snow-white door opened automatically, and Wang Huan couldn't help but walk in. It was dark inside, and he couldn't see his five fingers.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of light scanned his body, and then made a woman's voice with a strong sense of electronicity.
"Visitor, a man with yellow species in East Asia, age 24, with first-level authority."
"The Tower of the End Times was opened for the first time, April 15, 2303."
