Chapter 130 "The Flaws of Time" Part [-]

The original meaning of "flaw" is the spots on jade. Maybe a piece of beautiful jade loses all its value because of such a small flaw.

Flaw also refers to shortcomings or faults.

Flaw can be said to be a very useful derogatory word, but what if flaw runs into time?
If there is a flaw in time, will it become completely different?

. . . . . .

"I only tell my grandson this secret." Grandpa said with difficulty while lying on the hospital bed.

I stood helplessly beside my grandfather's hospital bed and said, "Grandpa, I'm here. I'm Lu Qiao. I'm listening to you."

"They, they all want to get out of here. I only tell my grandson to listen to it, and everyone else should get out of here." Grandpa said that he was a little nervous here, and then he coughed a few times.

"Dad, why don't you avoid it first?" I said, looking at the family members sitting around.

"Everyone, please go out, Lu Qiao, listen to grandpa." After speaking, his father sighed, moved his fat body and walked out.

The other relatives also walked out slowly, and only my grandfather and I were left in the room.

Grandpa held my hand tightly and said, "Lu Qiao, you really look like me when I was young. You are also the smartest here. You will be more capable than your father."

"Grandpa, is this what you want to say?" I asked in confusion.

"No, no, no, do you know how old I am?" Grandpa said and coughed again.

"Aren't you 63?" I said.

"No, no, no, I am 73 this year. If I tell you that I am 73, do you think I am very young?" Grandpa said.

Although I didn't quite understand what grandpa meant, I could only nod my head helplessly.Otherwise, grandpa will be angry and it will be over.

"There is a place in this world called the Flaw of Time, which is a mistake accidentally left by God. People there have no sense of time, because they will not age as long as they are in it. A group of the richest people in the world live there People, they rely on the flaw of time to make themselves immortal. I have been fortunate enough to work for them for ten years, and these ten years have made me look less aged," Grandpa said.

"Grandpa, are you sure you're not joking?" I asked puzzledly. A place where people can live forever really touched me.

Grandpa’s trembling hand reached into the pillow, and he took out an ID card and handed it to me.

I looked at the almost yellow ID card in front of me. It showed a young man in his 20s.It's somewhat similar to me. I understood it when I saw my grandfather's name.Obviously this is an ID card that has been eliminated decades ago, and it is also a proof of grandpa's true age.The above time was roughly converted in my mind.Indeed, grandpa's real age should be 73 years old, and today's grandpa is certainly young compared to his seventies.

"You understand, remember to burn my ID card. I will tell you the location of this time flaw and its secret." Grandpa said.

I nodded quickly and put my ID card in my pocket.

"Remember Rambo City, the underground of Rambo City is the entrance to the Flaw of Time. Back then, I was introduced to Rambo City by a friend to work. I didn't know anything at first, but later I realized that my job was to work in the Flaw of Time. Xia Li works as a porter. This job pays very well, but there are many restrictions. Because the air in Time Flaw is poisonous, you can’t leave after one breath," Grandpa said.

"Poisonous? But grandpa, did you just say that you can live forever?" I said in confusion.

"You can't leave the Flaw in Time after taking a few puffs. Once you leave, you won't be able to breathe and will suffocate. So I can only wear heavy protective clothing and bring an oxygen bottle to carry food for the rich in the Flaw in Time." and supplies. Although the organs of the rich have been permanently installed, they still cannot avoid eating, drinking, sleeping, and special services." Grandpa said.

"Be a porter?" I said. "Yes, I later learned that the Time Flaw only covers an area of ​​about two kilometers underground. Every inch of land there is very valuable, and the land price is calculated per square meter per hour. Anyone who cannot pay enough will be evicted immediately, and once they leave The flaws of time will suffocate you to death. But as long as you have enough money, you can live forever in the flaws of time." Grandpa said.

"You are saying that as long as you breathe the air there, you will live forever. But once you leave there, you will die. And grandpa, you have been a mover in that place for ten years wearing protective clothing." I said.

"See, you are much smarter than your dad. I only need to say a few words and you will understand." After speaking, Grandpa coughed twice more, tremblingly picked up the tissue on the side and covered his mouth.

The moment the tissue was put down, there was bright red blood on it.

"I don't have much time. I need to speak faster." Grandpa said.

I nodded my head, wanting Grandpa to stop talking.But in my heart, I had a longing for Time's Flaw, which made me want to know everything about Time's Flaw.

"I was wearing a third-generation chemical protective suit. I was eliminated because of my age and the launch and update of the fourth-generation chemical protective suit. At that time, our third-generation protective suit had a fatal flaw, that is, it could not guarantee [-]% sealing. . This also led to the fact that even though I worked in protective clothing for ten years, I more or less kept myself young. They only issued me a new ID card when they fired me, but what they brought with it was my There is something wrong with my lungs. You can tell by the blood I coughed up. This is caused by inhaling air from the tiny time frame over many years," Grandpa said.

I nodded my head and said, "Grandpa told me this so he wants me to work there? For what? The high salary?"

"No, no, no, of course it's for the secret of Time's Flaw." Grandpa said.

"Grandpa, what do you know?" I said anxiously.

"These decades have passed, and I think about the secret of the Flaw of Time almost every day. I can still remember almost everything I did in the past ten years, and I found something unique inside." Grandpa said, coughing a few times. The blood almost spurted out from the throat.

"I'm listening, tell me." I said anxiously.

Grandpa raised his head and said: "There is a kind of grass there that does not exist in the outside world. It is a very beautiful grass. The leaves are transparent and you can see the veins of the leaves. I suspect that the secret of the Time Flaw is related to it... Of course, more than 60 years have passed, and I don’t know... to what extent their chemical protective suits have evolved. This matter must be a risk, and I hope it can be dealt with..."

When grandpa said this, the blood almost flooded his throat, and his voice was extremely blurred.

I barely heard everything clearly, nodded and said, "Do you want me to steal it and create my own time flaws?"

Grandpa nodded his head but couldn't speak. He stopped breathing after nodding a few times.

I stood up after a long silence and walked out of the room.

My father looked at me and said, "What did grandpa say?"

"My grandpa is dead. He said that I am very smart. I am suitable for development in a big city and don't waste time in this small county." I said.

"Is this what grandpa said?" my father said doubtfully.

I nodded my head and said, "I've thought about it, and I accept Grandpa's opinion."

What else did my father want to say, but I was already far away.

I lit a bonfire in the ruins outside the village.

I took a look at my grandfather’s 20-year-old ID card and threw it into the bonfire.
