In the darkness.
A line of faintly glowing text appeared:
"The future has changed."
The line lingered for a long time.
Yet no one ever saw it.
Amid the endless cold and silence, someone seemed to whisper softly in his ear:
"Thank you for your efforts."
"The future is here. This is everything you have changed."
"Wake up. You need not sleep any longer."
The voice gradually faded into the distance.
Shen Ye drew a long breath and abruptly opened his eyes.
A white ceiling.
Two single beds, a simple table, and a pair of his sweatpants still hanging on the clothes rack outside.
This was the dorm room.
The dorm room he shared with Nangong Sirui.
A line of text appeared before his eyes.
"The future has changed."
As Shen Ye looked at it, it gradually disappeared.
"You're awake?"
A voice rang out.
Shen Ye looked toward the voice and saw Xu Xingke.
With a cigarette between his lips, Xu Xingke stood in the room, squinting at the wall outside the window.
"Teacher."
Shen Ye called out.
"I heard something went wrong during your morning workout and you passed out on the field, so I came to check on you."
Xu Xingke blew a smoke ring, the swirling smoke obscuring his expression:
"You're all right?"
Shen Ye froze.
Lines of bullet comments suddenly appeared before his eyes:
"He has a way to learn what happened in the past."
"-He knows the world has changed, and a change on this scale must mean something earth-shattering happened in the past."
"Every additional person who knows what you experienced in the past means another measure of danger."
"With that in mind, he gave up on learning anything."
"But he still decided to come and see how you were doing."
Bullet comments.
