Chapter 1, Countdown

Huizhou

Anshi

There were four people sitting on the dining table happily eating, and there was a child about four years old sitting on the sofa next to him, eating and watching TV.

"Xiaochuan, you are now a grown man. It's time to get married, right? Your second aunt said that she would introduce you to a partner and asked you to go see her this week."

A middle-aged woman looked at her eldest son and daughter-in-law, and then said to her other younger son who was sitting next to him and eating quietly.

"Mom, let's forget it...just don't hurt others."

Jiang Xiaochuan heard the words and replied without raising his head.

My mother heard this with anger in her eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you already cured of your illness?"

"Mom, I told you that I'm not sick. You must not believe me. Forget it, just eat. I'm full..." Jiang Xiaochuan slowly put down the bowl in his hand and said calmly.

"You..." Looking at Jiang Xiaochuan walking towards his room, his mother was furious.

"Mom, okay, don't rush him." The eldest brother saw his mother getting angry and his daughter-in-law who was a little impatient next to him, so he hurriedly persuaded her.

Upon hearing this, my mother choked and said no more.

After a hasty meal... everyone went back to their respective houses.

Li Mingyue, who returned to the room, glanced at her husband, and then said slowly, "Minghai, why don't you let mom get some money, pay a down payment to Xiaochuan, and let him move out?"

Jiang Minghai, who was sitting next to him and looking at his mobile phone, paused when he heard this. Then he continued to play with the mobile phone in his hand without speaking.

Seeing that her husband next to her was silent, Li Mingyue frowned and said, "Minghai, this is not the way to go. My relatives and friends all say that my brother-in-law is a psychopath and they are not willing to associate with me."

Jiang Minghai was a little unhappy when he heard his wife's words, "Mingyue, I told you, my brother is not a psychopath. Have you ever seen such a normal psychopath?"

"A normal person would say they don't have long to live? A normal person would say there is a door in their mind, a normal person would say there is a countdown in their mind?"

Li Mingyue sneered at him.

"I...that was all when I was a kid. How long has it been?" Jiang Minghai, who was originally confident, was speechless when he heard this. He could only explain, "Other than this, he didn't do anything extraordinary.

Something about?"

"Yeah, I didn't do anything extraordinary, but don't you feel depressed when your neighbors say it from time to time?"

Jiang Minghai "..."

After a while, he slowly said, "Dad passed away early, and the family has no money."

Li Mingyue stopped talking after hearing this.

Indeed, my father-in-law suffered from lung cancer a few years ago, which made the family, which was not already very wealthy, even more difficult.

If my father-in-law hadn’t bought this house before his death, I might not be able to afford this three-bedroom house now.

The mother on the other side, who was coaxing her grandson, also looked distracted.

Her son is already twenty-eight years old... He is not married yet and he does not own a house. How can this keep her from being anxious?

Jiang Xiaochuan was lying on the bed, "listening" to the words of his elder brother and sister-in-law, and "seeing" his mother's sad face in his mind. There was pain in his eyes.

Jiang Xiaochuan felt that the countdown in his mind was already very dull.

4:21:29. Only four hours left.

Indeed, anyone who has watched this for twenty years will become very calm.

But as time went by, he gradually began to feel fear again.

Jiang Xiaochuan did not tell his mother or his brother that he could "see" and hear conversations and scenes within a ten-meter radius.

I don't want to scare them anymore.

Suppressing the fear and annoyance in his heart, he turned over and sat up.

"No matter what happens tomorrow, I should leave something for Mom and the others, so that even if I am gone, they will have enough food and clothing."

After thinking about it, I couldn't help my eldest brother find a solid job by myself.

There is nothing left for them except money.

Over the years, I have also used my ability to help a certain department crack several cases. I have received a total of more than 600,000 yuan in rewards. This money cannot make my eldest brother rich, but at least it can alleviate the pressure on my family.

Then he sat at his desk and picked up paper and pen.

Thinking about everything over the years, I started writing on paper, including my bank card and password, all in the letter.

Two hours passed, and the three pieces of letter paper were full of writing. Jiang Xiaochuan put the letter on the table.

Then I thought about it and pressed it with a book. If nothing happened after the night, the letter would be useless.

After finishing it, Jiang Xiaochuan felt sad when he walked out of the room and looked at his mother, whose hair had turned white.

Ever since I discovered the door and the countdown in my mind when I was eight years old, I have been in a state of confusion these past few years. Coupled with the death of my father five years ago, my mother was dealt a heavy blow.

"Mom, let's do this. You can talk to your second aunt tomorrow and I'll go see that girl this Sunday. That's okay."

Jiang Xiaochuan smiled and comforted his mother.

Upon hearing his words, my mother, who was originally lifeless, suddenly showed surprise.

He said happily, "Really? Don't force it? Otherwise it will embarrass your second aunt."

"Oh, Mom, look, I've already promised you, but you still don't believe me? Do you think I've lied to you in these years?"

"That's right...my good son has never lied to his mother..."

"Then I'll call your second aunt now and let her know." After hearing his promise, the mother kept mumbling about making a phone call.

Jiang Xiaochuan quickly stopped, "Mom, no fighting today, let's fight tomorrow. Anyway, there are still four days until Sunday, so it's still early."

"Besides, what time is it now? It's almost eleven o'clock. My second aunt needs to go to bed too."

When the mother heard this, she also felt that she was too anxious, but she had no choice but to stop being anxious. Her own child had been put off countless blind dates over the years because of mental problems.

It was a rare first time that he was willing to go on a blind date, so she must seize the opportunity.

I felt relieved when I saw that my mother was definitely not going to make a phone call.

Then the mother and son started chatting together. An hour passed in a flash.

After the chat ended, the mother took her sleeping grandson to bed.

After taking a shower, Jiang Xiaochuan returned to the room, locked the door, and lay down on the bed.

Lying on the bed, watching the countdown, tears flowed silently down my cheeks.

Thinking about the lack of communication with my parents before, I really regret it.

Time stands still at the last moment.

Suddenly the door in my mind opened, revealing a dazzling white light.

He tried hard to see clearly what was going on behind the door, but he couldn't see clearly, and even his usual tried-and-true abilities had no effect.

Suddenly Jiang Xiaochuan felt himself lighter.

To be precise, his body was pulled towards the door.

He, who had been depressed at this moment, suddenly felt relaxed

Waves of sleepiness came through his mind. Jiang Xiaochuan felt that maybe he would never wake up from his sleep.
