Chapter 56: Time Difference.
As the whole world rapidly blurred, Xiao Fen vaguely felt a sudden weight in his hand.
He lowered his head and glanced. A cola bottle had appeared in his left hand at some point. When he looked up again, the surrounding environment had completely transformed.
Before his eyes was a long library corridor. Behind him, the library door was making creaking sounds. After a few seconds, as the door completely closed, the sound gradually stopped.
Xiao Fen paused for a moment, walked a few steps along the passage, and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall when he entered the reading room.
Eleven forty.
A staff member organizing the bookshelves turned their head and said impatiently, “Look at what time it is. We are off work. Come back early in the afternoon.”
Xiao Fen exited the reading room and walked blankly for a few steps before realizing that there should be a time difference between the Trial World and the Real World. Nearly 12 hours there might only be 2 hours in reality.
So, he was still in time for the school gathering in the afternoon.
In just two hours, in a place inaccessible in the Real World, 8 people had died inside. A buried history was excavated and then reburied. A sense of historical vicissitudes arose spontaneously in Xiao Fen’s heart.
Walking out of the library, the near-noon sun made Xiao Fen dizzy. He subconsciously raised his hand and took a sip of the drink. The stimulation of the cola told him that everything just now was not a dream, but something that had really happened.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Fen turned and walked towards the bus station.
Hundreds of kilometers above Xiao Fen’s head, a Keyhole satellite was staring tightly at him.
3 hours ago in the Real World, shortly after Xiao Fen saw that world similar to the Jurassic and met that red-haired girl face to face, when Xiao Fen thought he hadn’t changed anything, that girl had already driven the dinosaur back to the original place and connected the communication device.
“A1 point detected Real World interference. Someone entered the Trial World, causing energy fluctuations.”
The girl said coldly. Without waiting for an answer, she interrupted the communication, took another look at the place where Xiao Fen had avoided the Tyrannosaurus Rex before, and then quickly left.
“Miss, B5 has completed the breakthrough and is awaiting further instructions.”
A voice suddenly rang out in the communicator. As the girl moved quickly, the voice in the communicator quickly dissipated in that silent, murderous Jungle, without causing any changes in the Jungle world.
“If he is a qualified Trialist, he will come here one day.”
The girl whispered to herself in the driving basket.
At that time, Xiao Fen did not know that the girl he thought he would never see again in the future had already learned of his existence.
When he walked out of the building, he also did not know that in the space above his head, a “Keyhole” reconnaissance satellite had just flown over and located him.
4 minutes later, when Xiao Fen walked to the gate of the residential complex, a “Role-N1” flew over the sky, taking over the Keyhole’s surveillance and continuing to track him.
12 minutes later, a Middle East resource satellite took over the work of the photo-reconnaissance satellite. This relay cooperation between multiple national satellites was only temporarily interrupted after Xiao Fen entered the library.
During this process, all of Xiao Fen’s data had been continuously sent to a certain place in this city in various data forms without his knowledge.
2 hours later, as Xiao Fen walked out of the library, the surveillance on him started again.
The Keyhole satellite followed directly above him. Shortly after, a black-plated Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster convertible drove out of the underground parking lot of a 4-star hotel in the city and drove towards the street where Xiao Fen was.
Unaware of anything, Xiao Fen boarded an air-conditioned bus, found a window seat, and looked at the scenery outside the window, which was so familiar it couldn’t be more familiar. He felt a bit bored for a moment.
The high-intensity trial kept developing his brain, allowing him to unravel one mystery after another. The intense battles made Xiao Fen feel incredibly stimulated.
Compared to the muddled Real Life, everything in the Trial World was like delicious poison. Even though he knew swallowing it might mean death, he still couldn’t resist the temptation.
If his body wasn’t still aching faintly, Xiao Fen would have wanted to return to the Trial World at the next moment, escaping this Real World which had become boring to him.
Half an hour later, Xiao Fen got off the bus and walked to the opposite side of his old school.
There was a book café there. It used to be very lively when school let out, but now the school was on holiday, so the book café’s business was much quieter.
Xiao Fen walked in, bought a bottle of water, randomly picked a few books, walked to the window, turned his head to look at his old school opposite, and started zoning out again.
A flashy-looking red sports car distracted Xiao Fen slightly, but soon, he fell back into his distracted state.
Although he just had the thought, “If this car could pick me up in front of my classmates, and a woman with an amazing body could come out of it, then I could be very impressive in front of them,” it was better to throw such delusional thoughts aside.
Xiao Fen didn’t like showing off. It had always been like this. Although he longed for attention, he was more afraid of being watched, looked down upon, or mocked.
In elementary school, because he told classmates he could see various Otherworlds, he was mocked and distanced by too many classmates. Since then, he knew that sometimes not being valued also meant not getting hurt.
So, even though he mastered many foreign languages and had a solid academic foundation, he was always the most inconspicuous one in the class.
Since he was used to being alone, it was best to actively ignore those desires for glory.
On the other hand, Sylvia’s figure occasionally flashed before his eyes.
A few hours ago in the Trial World, Sylvia’s body had been generously displayed in front of Xiao Fen. It was a perfect figure. Even with ugly scars on it, it was still the best in Xiao Fen’s mind.
It was just that at that time, Xiao Fen was busy completing various tasks and understanding that world, so he didn’t think too much about it.
And now, once he calmed down, he realized his thoughts would naturally drift to the tavern room, that dazzling white body, the alluring pink, the fine curves, and the impactful double bowls.
Just like that, Xiao Fen sat alone on the chair, staring blankly at the school outside the window, spending this peaceful noon.
He had a premonition that after today, his life would be vastly different. By then, calming down might become a luxury.
