The camera begins to rotate, symbolizing that Cai Yan's worldview is about to be subverted. In the fast-rotating camera, the sound of finger tapping is getting louder and louder, as if beating a drum, hitting people's hearts one by one.

At the same time, Cao Lin's slightly tired voice sounded: "I have always been eager to tell people what I have experienced, but I dare not. Now, I use this method to tell you that the world is not as simple as you think. After I die, no one can see my grave. Let me mourn myself: Cao Lin, 43 years old, died of suicide. He is a sinner, but a pitiful victim. I was imprisoned for ten years in this place at this moment.

The nightmare began on March 17, 2041. I drove drunk and hit a school bus, killing several children, and my wife and daughter…”

While Cao Lin's statement was made, the picture switched to the scene of the car accident, the wreckage of the car, the child lying in a pool of blood, and his desperate face.

The picture switched again, and the judge in the court announced loudly: "You are sentenced to one-day life imprisonment: in your lifetime, you will always live the same day - the day we randomly chose, on August 19, 2001, all your life activities are limited to these twenty-four hours until the end of your life. As a humanitarian preferential treatment, you can serve your sentence in a bustling city, but during the period of serving your sentence, you cannot mention to anyone around you and the punishment you have suffered, otherwise we will transfer you to a small enclosed space and spend your sentence in loneliness."

In the dark midnight, strong lightning illuminated the uninhabited alley. Zhang Ran and the man in black appeared out of thin air with Cao Lin, and then the three of them walked towards the hotel where Cai Yan was.

At this time, the audience who had been tortured by suspense finally understood what was going on, and the feeling of science fiction finally came out. They all focused on each other and waited for the story to continue to develop.

On the first day, Cao Lin got up early and planned to go out for a walk. As soon as he opened the door, Zuo Xiaoqing, who lived next door, came over. She looked at Cao Lin and greeted: "Hi!"

Cao Lin replied: "Hi!"

Zuo Xiaoqing said again: "My lighter is broken, can I borrow a fire?"

Cao Lin took out the lighter and lit Zuo Xiaoqing's cigarette.

Zuo Xiaoqing looked at Cao Lin and asked, "Did you just move here?"

Cao Lin nodded and said, "Yes!"

Zuo Xiaoqing said: "It seems that you don't look like a local, are you here to travel?"

Cao Lin told her a lie he had already made up.

Walking on the street, Cao Lin bought a newspaper from the newspaper boy around the corner, and first checked the date: August 19, 2001, the front page news was very attractive. Cao Lin walked across the street and ordered breakfast, coffee and toast in the cafe opposite.

...

The next day, Cao Lin went out at the same time. Zuo Xiaoqing, who lives next door, came over again and said the exact same thing as yesterday: "My lighter is broken, can I borrow a fire?"

Tenants, parks, movies, lunch, pigeons...exactly the same scenes, exactly the same things, everything is as accurate as the pendulum of the clock, and the only difference is Cao Lin.

In the first few days, Cao Lin was not depressed or afraid, and even observed this crazy world with a sense of superiority and curiosity.

Just the time was repeated day by day, and every day it was those people, those things, and those words. Cao Lin was soon tired of it. He became more and more irritable. After meeting Zuo Xiaoqing next door, his attitude became worse and worse, and he even started to get angry.

Cao Lin tried to change all this and tried to break the cage of time, but he did not dare to make too much noise, because the judge said that he could not mention the punishment he had suffered to anyone around him, otherwise he would be transferred to a small closed space and spend his sentence in loneliness.

Cao Lin began to change his life trajectory, change the time he got up, walks on different streets, and meets different people. He broke the street lights and wanted to see if his destruction seemed to work. He even decided to stay at 12 o'clock and see how time pulled himself back 24 hours ago.

At 11:59 midnight, Cao Lin came to the hotel front desk. He asked with a little expectation: "What day is today and what time is now?"

Cai Yan looked at the time: "August 20, 0:00, what's wrong?"

Cao Lin couldn't believe his ears. Has the time been broken? He said in surprise: "It's really No. 20?"

Cai Yan smiled and said, "Yes, you have been here for a day!" As she said that, Cai Yan began to lower her head to search for check-in records.

Cao Lin waved his arm gently, and finally got rid of the imprisonment of time, and kept saying: "That's great, great!"

At this moment, Cao Lin suddenly realized that something was wrong with Cai Yan. She stood there like a puppet and couldn't help but shout: "Cai Yan, Cai Yan!"

Cai Yan had no reaction at all, Cao Lin knocked on the counter and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Cai Yan suddenly raised her head, looked at Cao Lin, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Cao Lin's pupils instantly dilated and he asked in a sleepwalking manner: "What time is it now? What day is it?"

Cai Yan was frightened by his expression and looked at the time: "August 19, 1:00 a.m. When did you get there?"

Cao Lin suddenly collapsed and did not answer Cai Yan's question. He was stunned and said, "Oh, that's it, thank you." After that, he walked upstairs in despair.

It seemed as if a magic power was covering Cao Lin. Whenever a twenty-four-hour cycle was about to pass, the magic power would always pull him back twenty-four hours before and imprison him forever in these 24 hours.

On that day, the depressed Cao Lin came to a strange street. At the corner of the street, he saw a little girl who looked exactly the same as his daughter.

Cao Lin couldn't help but walk towards the little girl, wanting to talk to the little girl. At this moment, the little girl attracted the advertisement across the street and ran into the middle of the road. A car rushed over and knocked the little girl to fly.

He was shocked and remembered his daughter who died in a car accident. He felt extremely guilty and ate his heart. He vowed to save the little girl.

However, Cao Lin's rescue was not successful, and things were always deviated, as if there was a mysterious force controlling it, allowing everything to develop towards the predetermined track, and the little girl was hit and killed again and again.

But Cao Lin did not give up, and worked hard again and again. After countless failures, he finally rescued the little girl.

The audience finally couldn't help it, and everyone breathed a long sigh, but the following plot made everyone's hearts hang up again.

When Cao Lin woke up the next morning, he suddenly realized that everything was back to the beginning, and the little girl was not saved, and she would encounter a car accident again on this day.

Cao Lin found that he could not change anything. No matter how he did or tried, time would be reset and everything would be restored. He sat on the bed and cried in despair.

He was completely desperate, and his human power was too small in the face of time. He started drinking and started to mess around. Anyway, life was like this, so what else could he do except live a life of scattered life and wait for death?

Until one day, Cao Lin fought with someone in a bar, and the next day he got up, there was obvious bruises on his face. He suddenly realized that there was a way to save the little girl. So Cao Lin began to walk in the city and recorded the exact time of every event he encountered.

Cao Lin had prepared for ten years and made a complete plan, where he should do what he should do at every point in time, precisely as soon as possible. Of course, he did not forget the Morse code, and only this method would not be discovered by the man in black.

The last day finally came. Cao Lin successfully saved the little girl, saved the child who fell from the tree, and helped many people in need. He was busy until nine o'clock in the evening when Cao Lin returned to the hotel. He borrowed MP3 from Cai Yan, wrote a message through Morse code, and then drank poison and died safely.

At this time, the audience finally understood Cao Lin’s idea. He saved the little girl and then died on this day. Time would smoothly enter the next day and the little girl would be rescued.

Cai Yan sat on the steps and looked at the time. It was already one o'clock in the morning on the 20th. The eternal day had passed. Cao Lin would never appear again. She felt that this was incredible, like a strange dream, and smiled and shook her head: "Cao Lin is from 40 years later, she is 33 years old, which means she will be born 7 years later. Cao Lin is already dead, but in fact he has not been born yet. This is so strange!"

At this time, a thought flashed through Cai Yan's mind, and she stood up, looking extremely excited: "No, there is a way to save Cao Lin!"

The picture is superimposed, and the young Cai Yan becomes an old man in her sixties. She drives a car through the air and then stops in the parking lot of a hotel.

She got out of the car, walked to a car, stopped, and stood there waiting.

After a while, Cao Lin walked towards this side, next to her beautiful wife and lovely daughter. Forty years ago, Cai Yan had seen their photos from Cao Lin, and she was very happy.

Cao Lin opened the car door and got into the driver's seat. When his wife and daughter got into the car, he was about to start the car when Cai Yan knocked on the car window. He opened the car window and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Cai Yan took out the police officer's certificate and said coldly: "According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, you are suspected of driving under the influence of drunkenness. Please get off the car and accept punishment!"

Cao Lin got out of the car with a depressed look on his face: "Police Officer, I haven't driven yet, how can I be considered driving under the influence of alcohol?"

It was already evening when the screen switched. Cai Yan leaned on the lounge chair to rest, with a slight smile on her face, holding the old MP3 in her hand, and the music was gently sounding, which was Cai Qin's "Forgotten Time".

The door opened and a little girl ran in: "Grandma, what are you listening to?"

Cai Yan touched her granddaughter's head lovely: "It's a very old song!"

Flashback to the scene of Cao Lin hitting a school bus accident, and there were corpses on the ground. The camera pushed forward and pushed in front of a dead little girl, who looked exactly the same as Cai Yan's granddaughter.

The picture turned black and the subtitles passed by the screen.

Countless people in front of the TV were stunned. Cai Yan saved Cao Lin and saved the children in that car, but she didn't know that the school bus was the school bus she was riding on. While she was saving others, she actually saved her granddaughter!
Chapter completed!
