Chapter 2 NZT48 in hand
Su Chen didn't wait long. Eddie and Linda broke up very simply. The two didn't even eat the breakup. After Linda left the restaurant first, Eddie just sat quietly for a few minutes and then left the restaurant gate.
Su Chen hung behind Eddie from afar and walked on the streets of New York. In addition to being a little cold, he was more curious about the unfamiliar environment around him.
In a sense, he was also a trip to China, but unfortunately the time was not right, otherwise he could buy an Apple phone to go back.
After walking several streets, Su Chen glanced out of the corner of his eyes and felt relieved - the real master appeared!
Like the plot in the movie, Eddie walked forward absent-mindedly, and suddenly someone popped up from behind, shouting his name. Eddie looked back and looked very entangled.
The person who recognized Eddie was undoubtedly his former brother-in-law, the brother of his ex-wife, Fern. This guy used to be a drug dealer and is not much better now. Although there is no clear explanation in the film, it can be seen from the shooting death of the day after he met Eddie that the "business" and "business" he runs are still on the verge of crime.
Su Chen was lucky—or rather, the fast-paced movie itself helped him, and Eddie and Fern entered the tavern for a few minutes, Fern left first.
Su Chen did not follow Fern. After all, this guy hid the medicine at home, and Su Chen was not sure if he was going home directly now. If he went to some other place, Su Chen would have caught him blindly.
As soon as Fern left, Eddie followed her. He still looked absent-minded and walked slowly on the street. Su Chen was also very relaxed in stalking, not worried about being discovered by him. The two walked one after another for half an hour and finally arrived at Eddie's place.
Su Chen just recognized the door and did not intend to follow Eddie upstairs. He watched Eddie just take a piece of NZT-48 given to him by Fern. The effect of the medicine can only take half a minute. At that time, Eddie transformed into an IQ superman and could remember Su Chen's appearance at a glance.
It's nothing to be remembered by Eddie, but if it affects tomorrow's plan, it will be more than worth the loss.
After watching Eddie go upstairs, Su Chen took out his cell phone and saw that the countdown on the screen was coming to an end. He simply stood there and stared at the screen of the phone intently.
"Half a minute...what will happen after the countdown is over? A beam of light shines down to suck me away? Or it disappears in the blink of an eye?"
10,
9,
8,
...
3,
2,
1!
As the countdown to return returned to zero in the last second, the phone suddenly flashed, the screen suddenly split into two, and two big words popped up in the upper half: Return!
As for the second half - [The time you can stay in this world: 30 days!]
You can stay for a full month!
"So that's it...it seems like I guessed before, the countdown is just the cooling time after entering the movie world, but there are a few questions here. If you choose to return now, can you come in again? Will the passage of time here be in sync with the real world?"
A gust of cold wind blew, and Su Chen couldn't help but shivered. He realized that it would be meaningless to think about it any more. It would be better to try it and say it again. Then he stopped hesitating and pressed his thumb directly on "return".
The next second, Su Chen felt dizzy in his brain, and his self-consciousness gradually became blurred...
...
When he woke up again, he was shocked to find that he had returned to the real world. Just like before he left, he was still sitting at the computer desk in the bedroom.
Su Chen picked up his phone and found that the information on the screen had changed again-
[Enter the countdown: 59 minutes and 48 seconds!]
"So that's it...every time you enter and return, you need to cool down for an hour!"
When I looked at the alarm clock on the wall again, the hour hand pointed to 9 am. It was exactly an hour since Su Chen had just entered the movie world.
That is to say, the time elapses of the real world and the cinema world remain synchronized.
In order to get more information, an hour later, Su Chen, who had changed into spring clothes, stood at the computer desk and tapped the mouse twice on the movie icon of "Never Endless".
After waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened. There was no option to [Whether to enter the movie world] on the laptop screen. Su Chen's heart moved and took out his phone and looked carefully. A little astonishment appeared on his face.
【Please select the entry time: 1 day/30 days.】
"Can you freely choose the entry time of the movie world?"
This discovery surprised Su Chen because it meant that he could save a lot of time and not have to wait for tomorrow to enter, and at the same time he could also find safer entry points in some specific movie worlds...
Su Chen gently stroked the time with his finger, and the time immediately became 2 days/30 days, which is the second day of the movie world.
After choosing the time, Su Chen grabbed the mouse and double-clicked the movie icon again, and a dialog box that made his heart beat faster pop up soon on the screen—
【Are you entering the movie world?】
Almost without thinking, Su Chen chose [YES!].
It was another familiar dizzy feeling. Fortunately, he was prepared this time and always kept standing, so he would not sit down on the road like when he first entered.
When I looked around, it seemed that his location was the same as yesterday, and across the street was Eddie Moley's residence.
"The next moment is the critical moment..."
Half an hour later, Eddie, who looked decadent, appeared downstairs of the apartment. Su Chen shook his head when he saw it. This guy was actually wearing the dirty coat he had yesterday!
If it weren't for changing into a slightly cleaner shirt inside, his chicken coop hairstyle would be like the American version of Cialis Brother.
Su Chen watched his departure, but did not follow him, because he knew that Eddie had sent manuscripts to the publisher and would have to come back later. After he received a call from the editor-in-chief of the publisher, he would finally make up his mind to go to Fern's residence to ask for NZT-48.
What Su Chen has to do is to continue to wait patiently.
It is actually very easy to pass the time. Su Chen found a pot sticker shop near Eddie's house. The boss came from the mainland. He just got a green card. When asked whether to collect RMB, he replied simply: "Cache! As long as it is not **, it is very convenient for banks to exchange US dollars here."
After having a full breakfast and talking to the owner of the pot sticker for a while, Su Chen finally waited for Eddie to appear.
Like the plot in the movie, Eddie left home a few minutes after returning home.
Su Chen followed closely behind Eddie, always keeping about fifteen meters away from him.
The two of them crossed two streets together and entered the subway station together. Su Chen followed suit and bought tickets for the New York subway station with the change found by the owner of the pot sticker shop. He followed Eddie off the subway and came to the apartment building where his ex-brother-in-law lived.
Soon, Eddie was assigned by Fern to go to the dry cleaning shop to get clothes and buy breakfast. Su Chen hid at the entrance of the stairs of the safe passage and waited patiently for the moment when Fern died.
Before long, Su Chen heard a burst of rapid smashing of the door, followed by Fern's shouting and anger, but these sounds were soon ended by a gunshot...
"Bang!"
With a gunshot coming, Su Chen knew that Fern was dead, but he did not act rashly. The killer who broke into Fern's house must be searching for NZT-48 and must wait for him to leave first.
The killer obviously found nothing, and he beat and smashed the house like venting. Su Chen waited for another quarter of an hour and finally heard the sound of the killer opening the door and leaving.
Su Chen jogged all the way to the elevator, stared at the elevator indicator lights all the way down, and then he entered Fern's home with confidence.
Su Chen couldn't even raise his interest in taking a look at Vern, who was already dead. He wanted to get NZT before Eddie came.
As a "cheater", no one knows better the hiding place of NZT-48 than Su Chen. He found the pack of medicine from the oven interlayer of Fern's house without any effort, but he did not take away all the medicine, but left three tablets.
As for the ten thousand dollars and that small notepad, Su Chen took it away without hesitation.
According to the previous plan, Su Chen did not intend to let the protagonist of this movie, Eddie Moley, go back to the old path. He imagined the same as the Wall Street giant Carl Fanlong in the movie, that is, to control Eddie for his own use.
However, Su Chen is not as stupid as Carl Fanlong. After all, he and Eddie are not from the same world, and there is no need to use each other as a tool. He hopes to maintain an equal position with Eddie, and it is best to let Eddie treat him as a friend from the bottom of his heart.
The reason for doing this is mainly for the subsequent development of NZT-48. Su Chen does not want to take the old version with side effects all the time, but he is not from this world and cannot stay here for a long time. So it is very necessary to find a trustworthy person to complete the work.
And in the movie Never End, the only one who is trustworthy is probably the male protagonist Eddie Moley.
After all, although Eddie is an ambitious man, which man does not have his own ambitions and dreams? At least Eddie is not bad by nature. As long as he can gain his trust, Su Chen can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Half an hour later, Eddie came back with a suit and food. His reaction was the same as in the movie. From panic to calling the police, he suddenly woke up and began to look for NZT-48 in the room. Finally, he only found the few pills that Su Chen deliberately left behind.
Eddie didn't feel disappointed. He didn't have much hope at all. It was a surprise to find a few pieces.
