There were two staff members in the monitoring room, playing chess and not watching the screen at all.
The bar manager pushed the door open, startling the two men. One of them cursed, "Who are you, the blind bastard, pushing my door!"
Another man slapped him on the head and cursed, "You're the blind bastard. You were playing chess by yourself during the long shift. I just sat down to tell you not to play, and you're scolding the manager too!"
The man was startled and said tremblingly: "Manager, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you who came in."
"It's okay, just show this student yesterday's video." The manager said, pointing at Wang Xiaohai.
After the manager finished speaking, he left and went back to his office to work.
The two staff members thought that this classmate might be a relative of the manager, and they could not neglect him, so they quickly brought all the video discs from yesterday to Wang Xiaohai.
"No need to take so much, just take what's left from last night," said Wang Xiaohai.
So more than half of the video footage was missing.
Wang Xiaohai inserted several video discs into the player and started playing.
As time went on, his expression became more and more serious.
The footage showed that he was indeed having dinner alone with Fang Fang in a private room at the bar, and then he left without anyone following him.
This...how is it possible!
"Has your video disk not been tampered with?" Wang Xiaohai asked the two staff members in the monitoring room.
"It's nothing valuable, and there's no murder or arson involved. Who would touch it?" a staff member said. "Look how smooth the footage is, without a single lag or frame drop."
"I believe it." Wang Xiaohai put down all the video discs and walked back.
Sitting on the No. 4 campus bus on the way back, he kept thinking, why is this happening?
"Book of the Future, do you know what this is?" Wang Xiaohai asked the book floating in his mind.
"Do you want to use it?" The Book of the Future warned, "Once you use it, all stored energy will be reset to zero."
"I was just asking, I didn't say I would use it. Conversation doesn't require energy, just like now," said Wang Xiaohai.
"But reasoning and speculation require energy for me, but talking to you doesn't require energy. It's just a mindless conversation." The Book of the Future replied.
"I ask you to guess, no need to speculate, okay?" Wang Xiaohai picked out the words.
Every penny saved counts. He was planning to make a lot of money with the Book of the Future, so he couldn't use it right away. Using it once would result in a loss of more than 10 million.
"Don't argue with me, it won't work on me," said the Book of the Future.
It seems that trickery won't work with the Book of the Future.
Forget it, it’s just over 10 million. I can earn it later at worst. But the doubts in my heart will haunt me like a nightmare.
"Use all the energy you have and find out the reason why Tang Qian disappeared!" Wang Xiaohai said.
"I have received the order. This time, all the stored energy will be used. Remember to try to commit suicide in the future to replenish the energy." The Book of the Future exudes a faint luster and flows on the surface.
Sensing...
Searching...
Book of the Future: "Someone has changed the timeline of this world."
Wang Xiaohai: "What do you mean?"
Book of the Future: "Someone traveled back to the ancient times of this world and destroyed some key item, causing a butterfly effect that changed the present."
Wang Xiaohai: "So some people have disappeared now?"
Book of the Future: "That's right. For example, if someone in ancient times prevented Tang Qian's male ancestor from marrying, or killed him, then his descendants would also disappear."
Wang Xiaohai: "Who is such a jerk?"
Book of the Future: "I don't know, but anyone who can do this is definitely not from the Evil Spirit Continent."
Wang Xiaohai: “Why?”
Book of the Future: "Unless one is omniscient and omnipotent, changing the past of his own world would make him disappear as well, just as you cannot lift yourself up by your own hair, but can only lift others by their hair."
Wang Xiaohai: "What is the realm of omniscience and omnipotence?"
Book of the Future: "The third awakening realm beyond God is omniscience and omnipotence. Previously, only three people in all dimensions of this universe could reach this realm."
Wang Xiaohai thought it would be better not to think about it. He was still an ordinary college student.
