Players Please Get In the Car

Meng Wenguang is a practical person. He thinks that instead of wasting time here, it is better to go back to No. 12 Sunshine Tree. "According to what you said, the time on 18th Street should be a little after 10:40 now. If I go back, The time on 17th street should be 10:32, on 16th street it should be 10:17, and on 12th street it happens to be 9:17. I will go back and check first. If the time is still 10:40, I will notify you with a green light."

 After saying that, he ran to 12th Street, which was not too far away anyway.

Soon a green beam of light lit up at the Sunshine Tree on 12th Street.

Seeing the time passing by, the players gradually became a little anxious, because at 12:03, they still didn’t know what would happen. If the memory was washed away again, then their situation would not improve at all, and they would still be in Pumpkin City. The day goes by over and over again.

"Is there something wrong with 12:03?" Yue Rui looked at Xu Huo and asked: "According to the increment of 15 minutes for each street, shouldn't the time be 12:02 by the time we get to the 23rd street?"

"The difference of one minute is only a few seconds in the street. Our estimate is not accurate." Wang Ling said.

Yue Rui nodded, "I wonder if Pumpkin City is using this method to remind us that the laws of time are not consistent. Maybe the jump time of the previous street is 15 minutes and 1 second, and the next street becomes 15 minutes and 7 seconds, as well as the chaotic clock, are they reminding us that time is not that important."

“Because everything that happened here cannot become reality, traveling through time and space is not feasible, and we all went to Sunshine Tree No. 12 in advance. The general direction of the event has not changed. It can be seen that the key points set here are not in the details..."

"What do you mean?" Tang Ming interrupted her impatiently.

Yue Rui lowered her head timidly, and then plucked up the courage to say: "The Time Tower asked us to focus on the time of 9:17 and the burglary case. If this place was really arranged by Dr. Wu, Space may have other purposes. I heard Brother Long talk about Dr. Wu. If Dr. Wu is so powerful, how could he not know that time cannot be turned back?"

“Unless he has overcome the problem that time cannot be turned back, or he has not focused on it at all.” Xu Huo continued.

“Where else can we start?” Wang Ling was much calmer. He asked Yue Rui, “Do you have any ideas?”

Yue Rui glanced at Tang Ming and Xu Huo before saying, "I'm not sure if Dr. Wu really left anything here, but if we really can't find a way out, we can try to go to the Time Tower."

“The Time Tower is the key to triggering the space of this Pumpkin City. If the Time Tower is destroyed, the space may collapse. Even if it does not collapse, as long as there is a slight gap, an opportunity to use the ticket can be created.”

"Time cannot be turned back" is common sense to everyone, so they did not discuss it as an option at all, but skipped it directly, thinking that Dr. Wu's focus was not on the complex and chaotic laws of time, but so far they have There are no other clues, and Yue Rui's suggestion is more in line with everyone's thoughts - finding the exit is the most important thing.

"Do you think people before you never thought of destroying the Time Tower?" Tang Ming said: "You are so hungry that you dare to eat people, and are you afraid of the consequences of destroying the Time Tower? The existence of Pumpkin City to this day is a good indication of the problem."

Of course Yue Rui knew this, "But we can't get out, so we have to try whatever we can."

"...I want to try..." Xu Huo, who had been looking down at the map of Pumpkin City, raised his head at this time and said to Yue Rui and others: "You go to Sunshine Tree to find Meng Wenguang first, and go to the Time Tower with him. I will come with you later. You’ll meet up.”

Yue Rui hesitated slightly, but seeing that he had no intention of continuing, she planned to leave with her younger brother Hong Chen first. Feng Hui became more familiar with them and decided to leave together.

"Aren't we going now?" Shen Liang asked Xu Huo after the others left, "What else are you going to do?" "You go from 16 Street. Don't cross the street. Just walk along 16 Street to the north to meet Meng Wenguang and the others." Xu Huo said: "Yue Rui and the others are not very fast, so there is no need for you to rush over."

As he spoke, he put away the map, turned around and walked toward the southeast corner of the city, which was far away from the Time Tower.

Shen Liang was not interested in knowing what Xu Huo was thinking, so he asked Kong Ying and others to go together. Even if they went, they would not be able to participate. It was better to listen to the arrangements honestly.

Of course Tang Ming, Wang Ling and Long Jianfeng chose to follow Xu Huo immediately.

Several players who had been following him nearby saw that they were divided into three groups, and they also separated to track them.

Xu Huo soon arrived at 23 Street. He didn’t do anything extra. He just walked along the curved street of 23 towards the Time Tower.

The streets of Pumpkin City look a bit like the concave grooves on a pumpkin. The closer you are to the edge, the greater and longer the arc is. In addition, there are 11 streets on one side, and because of the larger capacity of urban buildings, Judging from the map alone, the length of 23rd Street is at least three times that of 12th Street.

Xu Huo walked leisurely after entering 23rd Street, probably at the same speed as Yue Rui and others.

But no matter how long it is, it’s just a street, and it doesn’t take the players much time to run. Around 11 o’clock in the evening, Xu Huo and his party arrived at the Time Tower.

The moment they saw them, not only Meng Wenguang and others, but also Shen Liang and others could not hide their surprise, "You guys arrived so soon? We just arrived!"

“Tell me clearly, did one of you just arrive, or did everyone just arrive?” Xu Huo said.

 “We’re here in front and back.” Meng Wenguang said, “You’ve just arrived and you’ve arrived too.”

 “Are you speeding up?” Shen Liang estimated where Xu Huo and the others had gone. Meng Wenguang and his party took 12 streets, and they took 16 streets, so the remaining people must have gone to further streets.

"Why is this happening?" Wang Ling was completely confused. "We even deliberately went to a farther place to start. Why did the three groups of people arrive together?"

 The difference in length between 12th Street and 23rd Street alone would not lead to such an outrageous result!

"What's going on now?" Tang Ming looked at Xu Huo with an unkind expression on his face, "Stop being so pretentious."

Xu Huo glanced at him and said, "If I tell you, can you understand?"

Tang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Brother, I advise you not to take action. Everyone is pointing at this brother. If you want to grasp the overall situation, you must have that ability. If not, just stay calm." Shen Liang said with a warning: "Don't get in the way. Let’s all get out.”
