Chapter 70 Time Tunnel

It was snowing again in Falls.

Before the snow of last night melted away, heavy snow fell from the pale gray sky again.A biting cold wind blew in from the outside, and the wooden door of the shop was slowly blown open, and then closed again with a bang.

Lu Yuxing slowly opened his eyes, his tired eyes were bloodshot.

"……you……"

The old woman was startled by his appearance, the crystal ball in her hand shook and stopped moving.

The incense burned in the store was only a few centimeters shorter, but Lu Yuxing seemed to have been asleep for decades.He pursed his lips, wiped his face with his hands, and sat up from the recliner.

He stared blankly at the clock on the wall for a while, his eyes dim.The old woman saw him struggling in pain just now, but he didn't make any sound.Just as he was about to ask whether his hypnosis was successful, the other party took out a few banknotes from his pocket, got up and left.

The cold wind made the wind chime swing back and forth, Lu Yuxing pushed aside the yellow-green plant stems and leaves with heavy steps, pushed the door and went out, passed through the crowded shopping mall, and suddenly plunged into the snow-white air.

Sparse traffic flowed through the snow, and he stood on the side of the snow-covered road, smelling the cold air of Niagara, and suddenly felt like waking up from a big dream.

He remembered everything that was forgotten in that chaotic memory.

In the last days of his life, Lu Yuxing always had auditory hallucinations, and sometimes he could even see imaginary figures.He once thought it was a manifestation of his own illness, but now that he thinks about it, it is clearly a living person who sneaked into his house.

The man always looked in a hurry, as if he sneaked here after get off work.Wearing a work suit, he opened the door of Lu Yuxing's house in the early hours of the morning to clean up the mess for him.

Every time Lu Yuxing got sick, he was half-drowsy and half-awake, and he could feel someone walking around him.The man quietly took off his leather shoes in the backyard and came in quietly.He put all the dangerous items in a high place, and helped Lu Yuxing to lie down on the sofa, but he didn't dare to clean his wound because he was afraid of exposing his actions.

He could only quietly replace those lethal sleeping pills with sugar pills, in order to avoid more serious consequences.

Lu Yuxing recalled that man's face, and suddenly his whole body was as cold as freezing.

——Why Tang Tang?Why does he have the key to the villa?

All this is too absurd, the chief designer of Tang's jewelry sneaked into the house of a former movie star after get off work... How did they get involved?

Lu Yuxing walked mechanically across the road, his mind was in chaos.A passing private car almost hit him, and the driver stuck his head out to curse people after a sudden brake, but he turned a deaf ear and just walked forward numbly.

——What did Tang Tang do to cause him to be reborn?So is the current Tang Tang the same as him back then?

——Did Tang Tang die once too?

Lu Yuxing walked all the way to the entrance of Waterfall Park.

It snowed heavily for several days, and the waterfall was frozen over.Many couples who come on vacation come for the ice sculpture and snow waterfall. At this moment, the entrance of the park is already crowded with people.Lu Yuxing was pushed forward uncontrollably in the torrent of people, and just followed into the park.

The park is full of people coming and going, and you can see the big waterfall across the field of vision if you go straight along the central road.Near the shore stands a Ferris wheel.The sightseeing boats in the distance are docked on the shore, and there is a long queue of tourists at the entrance.

Lu Yuxing stood at the door in a daze for a while. He looked around and saw a telephone booth behind the deciduous tree in the front right.

He walked in quickly, and picked up the receiver with hands that were red with cold.

After dialing two digits, his hand froze again.

The glass door of the phone booth separated the noise from the outside world, and snowflakes like flying catkins fell on the door and gradually melted.Standing in this world, Lu Yuxing suddenly felt extremely confused.

He wanted to ask Tang Tang countless things, but he didn't know where Tang Tang was, nor did he know what to say to him.

Recalling the decisive look in the other party's eyes when they parted at the airport, Lu Yuxing clenched his fists tightly.He lowered his head against the cold shared phone, and growled silently for a while.

After a while, he put the receiver back, turned around and walked into the frozen world.

Ten meters away from the phone booth, two men in black clothes sitting in the coffee shop glanced at this side, got up and followed.

The viewing platform in the park is very long, some are under the waterfall, and some need to take the elevator to look down from the top.

Lu Yuxing slumped into the elevator, burying half of his face in the down jacket.

Outside the translucent elevator, the nearest part of the waterfall has been frozen.Lu Yuxing watched them descend slowly through the glass, as if facing a white monster. Those monsters with teeth and claws were frozen in the ice. Once this layer of seal was released, they would become terrifying ghosts and scare everyone Swallowed into a gigantic waterfall.

The sunlight covered by the huge waterfall made the elevator box go dark for a moment, and the reflection in the glass came out.

Lu Yuxing suddenly saw himself in the mirror, those eyes seemed to be fixed on him, and they were full of sorrow.

Just for a moment, the sun shone into the elevator again.

The fellow passengers cast strange glances at him, Lu Yuxing stabilized his center of gravity, and followed the crowd out of the elevator to the viewing platform.

The frozen waterfall stood quietly outside the viewing platform, like a person who fell from a height and was suddenly frozen.

A Caucasian couple beside them walked past Lu Yuxing with their child in their arms.Lu Yuxing glanced at them, then silently stood at the far corner of the viewing platform, leaning against the railing.

Looking down at the waterfall that stopped flowing, he suddenly remembered the diary written by "himself".

Before he came to this world, is the real "self" more attractive to Tang Tang?

Lu Yuxing closed his eyes, the cold wind and the sun brushed across his face, and finally turned into the roar of the waterfall and the water vapor hitting his face.

The 22-year-old young Lu Yuxing is braver than him, healthier than him, and more daring to love and hate than him.They may hug and kiss under the waterfall, make love in the resort hotel closest to the roar of the waterfall, and maybe spend money on a camera, lying in bed and counting the photos taken during the day...

When I opened my eyes, the roar of the rainstorm in my ears disappeared.

Behind him, a strange male voice spoke with a Hong Kong accent, and suddenly said:

"Mr. Lu, alone?"

Lu Yuxing came back to his senses and frowned slightly.

He wasn't sure if the other person was talking to him, so he looked back.

I saw two tall men in black clothes and black trousers with serious faces standing in front of them.It was the taller one who spoke, and he tilted his head slightly, his eyes were full of refusal.

"Who are you?" Lu Yuxing looked at the two of them, and vaguely discerned the origin of the other party, it should be a high-level bodyguard or thug.

The other party did not answer his question, "Our boss invites you to sit down."

Lu Yuxing stared at them without moving.

The tourists around were immersed in the pleasant atmosphere, Lu Yuxing glanced around calmly, then turned his gaze back.

Tang Tang's whereabouts were unknown, but these people must have been sent by the Tang family.

"Who is your boss?" He guessed casually, "Tang Ruize?"

The short one curled his mouth, squinted his eyes and shook his head.

Lu Yuxing froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered what he heard in the guest room on New Year's Eve.

"I'm going to the island for two days and then I'll be back..."

Tang Xingguo's words echoed in his mind, and Lu Yuxing suddenly realized something, with a shocked expression on his face.

"Come with us." The man in front of him repeated again, "Our boss wants me to tell you that Tang Tang will not come to you anymore. See you in Vancouver."

Thousands of kilometers away, a bank in Stockholm.

In the governor's office, there was a smell of burning cigars.The hook-nosed, white-haired old man fiddled with the name tag of the bank president in his hand.The cuff buttons of his uniform were unbuttoned, and he was holding the receiver, watching the surveillance at the front desk while making a phone call.

In the pan-blue surveillance, Tang Tang was arm in arm with a woman wearing sunglasses. He showed a platinum bank card and was welcomed into the room.

"Understood," the president said in broken Hong Kong dialect, "I will help you with this, my old friend, don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, he quietly glanced at the monitor, got up, adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror, opened the door and walked out.
