“…”

Xia felt her brain buzzing violently. Although Leica's two actions were the same, they meant completely different things.

The first time, it traveled through time and called out three times to Lu Ban on January 5th.

The second time, it also traveled through time and called three times to Lu Ban who was sitting next to the bench on January 6th.

These two actions occur at the same time.

So, is it January 6th or January 5th?

Where has time gone?

"This is the weird thing about this amusement park. I should have thought of it earlier."

Lu Ban's speech speed became a little faster, as if something was chasing him.

"Laika, if I'm going to ride a ride I've ridden before, you'll yell at me five times."

“Ouch!”

Laika cried out in understanding.

Then, Lu Ban looked at Xiya and Feng Yu.

"We have already suffered cognitive impairment, but I don't know the other side's means and how to circumvent it. I think we will soon suffer cognitive impairment again and forget all this."

He said, and asked Feng Yu again.

"You said before that there are two ways to allow people to travel through time. One is a hound, and what is the other one?"

After hearing Lu Ban's words, Feng Yu suddenly showed an expression of realization.

"That's a race that feeds on stealing other people's time. If you come into contact with them, a certain amount of time will be stolen from you, ranging from a few seconds to one to three years."

Before Feng Yu finished speaking, he felt a teddy bear standing next to him, and his unchanging smile suddenly became bigger.

"Their name is, the Time Worms..."

…

“Which project should we go to first?”

Lu Ban asked.

"Merry-go-round?"

Feng Yu looked at the most soothing items.

“Is this a simulated horse riding?”

Xia looked at the colorful unicorns, horses, vehicles, etc. and found it a little funny.

"Let's go check it out first."

Lu Ban said this and prepared to walk towards the carousel.

But suddenly, Leica, who was sitting on the ground next to him, cried out a few times.

"Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!"

It barked five times in a row, causing Lu Ban to stop.

"If Laika makes a sound, it means we may have fallen into cognitive impairment, and something is wrong."

Lu Ban thought of the cognitive anchor point that Feng Yu had mentioned before.

He soon noticed the snow on the roofs and saw the happy tourists.

"These tourists are real human beings and have not been seriously alienated, which means they are not seriously polluted, or their pollution is in a very low range."

"It snowed tonight, but there was snow on the roof of the amusement park, which means it snowed last night, and we are cognitively impaired, which means that today may not be January 5th, but January 6th, but our cognition has been tampered with and it is still on the 5th."

"But if we encountered such a situation, Leica should have warned us long ago, which means that, for it, our cognition has not been tampered with."

"This means... we have spent the whole day without realizing it... Leica, go find me at 12:15 on January 5th and call me three times."

Lu Ban immediately gave the order while looking around. He saw tourists laughing and talking, staff in yellow clothes making ice cream and selling it, and teddy bears being surrounded by children and distributing balloons.

The next moment, Laika suddenly disappeared, then reappeared and called out to Luban three times.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Seeing this scene, Xiaya and Feng Yu were surprised and thoughtful respectively, and neither of them spoke.

"I am now the me of January 5th, but the time is no longer January 5th, but January 6th. Our cognition has not been confused or tampered with, because from the perspective of our bodies, it is indeed January 5th."

Lu Ban began to explain.

"This is a problem with the observer's coordinate system. We entered the amusement park and encountered certain things that caused our own time to go back a certain distance. However, in the world outside the amusement park, time moves normally, which makes our cognition stay on the same day."

"These tourists may be the same. For them, they are always in the state of just entering the amusement park, so they don't know what is happening outside. To them, this is just an ordinary day."

"Contacts from the outside world cannot reach here, because for people in this amusement park, external contacts are all about the 'future'. People in the 'past' will definitely not be able to receive them. In addition, since the time of these tourists is almost frozen, they also have no future, and thus are weakened and eliminated in the cognition of others. This may be the way this amusement park hides itself."

After hearing Lu Ban's words, Feng Yu suddenly felt something and she spoke.

"What you said reminds me of a creature from another world. Do you remember that I mentioned to you that in another world, besides hounds, there is another creature that can allow people to travel through time. Its name is the Time Worm."

Feng Yu glanced around and saw that the teddy bear had left the children and came to a nearby street light.

"The Time Worm steals the time of other creatures, causing them to disappear from the current time point, return to the past, and devour this part of the future. In order to protect themselves, these creatures have two special survival mechanisms."

"The first is that when they are noticed by other creatures, they will become harmless things in the cognition of this creature, replacing such things, and will not attack other creatures."

"The second mechanism is..."

Before Feng Yu could finish her words, Lu Ban patted her on the shoulder.

"This thing, wasn't it here just now?"

Lu Ban pointed at the teddy bear standing next to Feng Yu.

"It seems like this teddy bear was just under the streetlight."

Shia said nervously.

"Teddy bear...did you just say this is a teddy bear?"

There was something wrong with Lu Ban's taste.

"This is... this is the teddy bear..."

Xia said, and also discovered the problem.

"What did you just say? This thing won't attack us when we notice it, right?"

Lu Ban opened his eyes wide and stared at the teddy bear. His naive smile turned sinister at this moment. It just stood quietly beside the three of them, like a good friend.

"right……"

Feng Yu also turned around and looked at the teddy bear.

"Xia, I want to tell you something. The teddy bears in this world don't look like this."

At this moment, Lu Ban's [Real Vision] received feedback, and in his eyes, the appearance of the "teddy bear" changed.

A gray-white humanoid creature with a shell made of mucus, bones, and stratum corneum and hundreds of eyes on its head was standing beside them. A long and thin tongue extended from its mouth and was trying to wrap around the three people.
