About the locomotive of time
The locomotive or what we call it is a train. It was created a long time ago. which has been used to transport various things in the past Whether it is transportation of goods or even as a means of transportation for many people But as time passes New things that are more convenient and faster have taken their place.
Therefore, trains have become a thing of the past that people have forgotten. In the end, the train disappeared from this world until...
'Big news: Timing Company invites everyone to join in looking back at the past. Thinking about yesterday on New Year's Day Take the train to see the moon at night...'
A loud shout from the train mascot dancing nonstop. This makes people passing by in this famous commercial area come to look at it with interest. It's no different from this guy.
"That's interesting. This weekend we'll go look into the details."
The young man turned to talk to the blond girl who was walking around excitedly, following the language of a couple who would be getting married in a few months.
"It's up to you. I already agree with you.”
“Wow, my girlfriend is really cute. Then I'd better invite Mom to go. You must really like it.”
1 January 3000 AD
First morning of the year There is soft sunshine and cool weather, just like every day. As we all know, the world has never had a different climate for a long time. Since global warming has killed nearly half the world's people. Therefore causing many scientists to work together to invent and created an artificial atmosphere to cover the earth along with creating this artificial climate
“The weather today is really good. It's really suitable for traveling, don't you think so?” The young man who opened the door of the house cheered. asked the old woman who was following.
"Yes, act like our world has a different type of air."
"Oh Mom, don't ruin the atmosphere."
"You haven't forgotten anything, right Ryu?"
"Yes, but if I forget, I don't know. Because if you know, how can you call it forgetting?”
“This guy has been bothering Mom since the morning. From childhood until adulthood, it has never changed."
The two mothers and daughters playfully tease each other. Look, it's such a warm family. The son didn't hesitate and quickly carried his belongings into the car. And now they're ready to leave.
"Chris, did you wait long?"
"Not at all. If it were you, even if I waited longer, I could wait."
The blond-haired woman waiting in the car answered with a cheerful face. It was no different from the young man and his old woman who had just gotten into the car. Today, the three of them will go see the moon. And more importantly, they will go by 'train'. Just thinking about it makes me excited.
'Welcome to Timing Company'
When walking through the door into this tall building Or is it the timing company? An automatic welcome tone will sound. And now this sound continues without interruption. It shows that there is a continuous flow of people coming in.
"It's like entering 7-Eleven," the old woman said.
"Seven-Eleven, what is it, Mom?" The person walking with him looked puzzled.
“It was an old convenience store. It is a store with branches all over the world. But it closed down a long time ago. If you all want to see what Seven is like. Please come to the 3rd floor. Our timing company has built many old style shops. So that everyone can think back to yesterday."
The robot welcomed the human figure and answered in a sweet voice. If you take a quick look, you might think that this robot is a real person. But if you look carefully, you will find that the neck has a barcode and machine code attached to it.
'The train to see the moon is now available. Anyone interested is invited to purchase tickets in the basement.'
When the announcements quieten Many people quickly descended into the basement. Which has been transformed into a classic looking train platform, like going back in time about 500 years.
"Wow, the line is as long as it gets."
“Why don't they sell tickets through the system?
AS
Yes, even though it's actually more convenient."
system
Air Shop
or
AS
It was invented about 50 years ago. It is an online ordering system. When you press to buy things within the system Items will be delivered immediately. The disadvantages of this system are Use air as the medium. Therefore, if you go to space, you will not be able to use it.
"This shirt is beautiful. What do you think?" said Chris, who was using the system.
AS
Have fun shopping for clothes. Fingers scrolled through the many pictures of clothes in the air. And finally found the one that I like.
"Um, pretty, but my girlfriend is prettier."
"Such a sweet mouth. Your mother is here. I feel a bit embarrassed."
"I'm telling the truth. Mom thinks the same as me, right?"
“Don't make it difficult for me to join you,” the old woman laughed. Funny about the cheekiness of a son who is now in his 30s but still doesn't act like he's grown up.
'Thank you for using the system service.
Air Shop
Will send the product within 5 seconds.'
Chris extended his hand in front of him, waiting to receive the product. And when the 5 seconds were up, the product immediately appeared in her hand.
"Why isn't the line moving?" a voice called out from behind. Because the line hadn't moved for an hour. And when people start shouting There would be a sound of "ooh" coming. This caused the basement to be noisy everywhere.
'Timing Company apologizes for the inconvenience. We have now opened two more channels for purchasing tickets.'
"Please join the line at this service window to buy tickets," a male employee now dressed like an old station attendant told the people who were cheering after the announcement ended. People quickly rushed to the newly opened service bays.
"Oh, Ryuu, you brought your mother here as well?" A man who had just run in line next to him greeted as soon as he saw them.
"Hello, Auntie. Long time no see. How are you?" The young man who was greeted immediately turned to an old woman about the same age as his mother next to the person who greeted him.
"I'm fine. How are we? When are we getting married?"
"Probably soon. Chris and I still talk. Anyway, please invite Auntie to my wedding in advance."
"Auntie has to go now."
"Hey, hey, I greeted you. Why don't you pay attention to me?" The person who came to greet me started to shout a little.
"Oh, is this a person?"
"Dammit, Mr. Ryu. Do you see me as a dog or what?”
"Give me your hand."
"Woof! You idiot!” The young man who had raised his hand and placed it on Ryu's hand docilely quickly shook it away. This friend's attitude also really made him laugh every time.
"How are you, Chet? How are you?" The only pretty girl in the group said after a long period of silence because she was too busy admiring the new shirt.
"My body is fine, but my heart still lacks someone to take care of me."
"And Nong Gib, Kik, Koi, Kate, Cake, Kat, Nat, Nan, where are your girlfriends?" I recited all the names of my exes who had left them. Emphasis on being the one who left it.
"You're still missing another sister. You just left me yesterday,” the man in front of him said with a smile on his face. But the voice was shaky.
"Don't be sad, Jett. Someday you will meet the right person. and ready to be together with you for the rest of your life Just like me and Ryu."
“Why didn't you meet me first, Chris? I'm much more handsome than Ryu." Jett held Chris's hand and lifted it up with a pleading look in his eyes like a puppy wanting a snack.
While the young people chatted happily The mothers who came too were equally frantic in their chatter.
"Think about the old days when we were kids."
“At that time there were not many people like this. Plus it's both old and dirty."
"Grandma, I want to try playing that thing."
Suddenly there was a boy about 4-5 years old. chubby round shape A cute little girl ran up and grabbed Jett's mother's arm and pointed at a toy cabinet that was on one of the pillars in the basement.
“Oh, you want to play in the egg-spinning machine? Come, grandma will take you to play."
A mysterious boy immediately drags Jett's mother away.
"Who's that kid?" I asked, unable to help but wonder.
"Jao Plai is my sister's son."
"So you have a child? I remember that I just went to my younger sister's wedding last year. "I'm confused." What could produce offspring and make them grow this big in less than a year?
"That's the youngest sibling's wedding. I have 2 younger siblings."
"Oh, I forgot. Nong Mon has been moving to Mars for a long time. Who's going to remember that?"
"You'll see it first. You won't remember any more. How did you come there?"
I turned to look at what my friend had pointed out. And what I saw was a beautiful white woman. Small and cute, with her hair tied up, looking at it, the cat actually called me. She walked with a burly young man. The muscles are bunched. Judging from the figure, it should be able to kill an elephant with his bare hands.
"Brother, have you been waiting long? Oh, Brother Ryu, hello." I nodded in homage, confused by the change in my friend's younger sister. Plus, she's only a year younger than me. Most importantly, she already has a child.
"Hello, Brother Jett," the muscular man with the hand that kills a war elephant (he gave his own name) said hello in a humble manner.
"This is my friend Ryuuji and his girlfriend Christina." My friend started introducing me and my girlfriend to the couple.
"Hello, Chris. You're so beautiful." Her expression was so close to someone she was just meeting for the first time. In addition to Chet, she also had a second younger sister.
"Hello Ryuji-san, Christina-san." The brawny bastard still looked very intimidating despite his humble demeanor.
"S...sa..sa.s.s..s..d..da.dee" Hard. Hard. The tongue is so stiff that you can hardly speak a word. As for Chris himself, he was being caressed and caressed by a very cute girl. I think these two guys are Clearly a catastrophic couple.
“Father, mother, look at this, I got this from that closet.” The fat boy immediately ran up to his parents to show off his new item. Ignoring the old woman he had dragged along with him in the first place.
“What is it?” the beautiful mother asked her child curiously.
"I don't know. When putting coins into the cabinet This one fell down.” The little boy was also suspicious.
"Look, Dad, it can be carved." The giant father unwrapped the small ball. Revealing something inside
“That's it! Top!” My mother suddenly shouted in excitement.
“Luk-kang,” we said in unison, puzzled after seeing this plastic lump with a string wrapped around it.
“Yes, it was a toy from the past. Even Grandma has only ever seen it in pictures.” The two old women looked even more astonished than us.
"Please come to the next one." The train ticket salesman called for the next customer to come for service. Or that is, those of us who are so busy talking that we don't pay attention to our surroundings.
"How many people will go see the moon?"
"3."
"Total 33,000 baht."
I scanned my fingerprint to open a code to automatically deduct money from my bank account.
"Okay, so sit..."
"You can sit anywhere. Please feel free to choose. Passengers, please exit through the right-hand door you see there. to enter the train."
After receiving the ticket I slowly walked to the right as the staff told me. And this was my first time riding a train. So it makes it look all awkward. I looked around the basement one more time before exiting the door and entering the train. There are still many people waiting in line to buy tickets here. Although the ticket price is not expensive But from what I did some rough calculations, the timing company probably made a lot of profit from this work.
If you think that there are a lot of people waiting in line to buy tickets. That shows that you are wrong. Because the people in this train were many times more. It's said that there is hardly any room to breathe. We waited for Chet's group to find seats close to each other.
"There's space available. I've made a reservation. Whoever can't compete, hey," Jett hurriedly ran to reserve a place. Ready to threaten people who will come and take their seats. Just like a dog, there's nothing wrong with that.
“You all sit behind me.” The man who just acted like a dog finished setting up seats for everyone.
"Wow, that's exciting." The beautiful girl with her own hair was just as excited as his older brother. which was completely different from the walking muscular man who was her husband.
We all took our seats, with the front row being a muscular father with his round son sitting on his lap with his younger sister, Chet. Next was the Jett and his mother. And next in line was me, my girlfriend, and my mother.
"Boring. When will the train leave? I've been sitting here waiting for a long time." The person who complained was none other than my friend Jett. Even though I've only been waiting in this train for half an hour.
"Don't complain too much. Look at your grandson. He's sitting still and not complaining." I think whoever was sitting on that muscular guy's lap wouldn't dare move.
"Why would he complain? He's playing with his father." Jett huffed and pointed at the father and son pair. Where the muscular father turns and gives off an aura of a young man who is playing happily with his little one.
'Please all passengers sit in their seats and fasten their seat belts. Our train will now begin its journey.'
When all the passengers heard this, they quickly followed the announcement.
The exterior of the Timing Company, where the building is now split into two halves Revealing the bottom of the building. that the ground is separating And something slowly moved up. Yes! It's a 'train' that slowly rises from the ground into the sky. To take passengers to visit the moon
"Chak Ka Chak, Chak Ka Chak, Poon." Please tell me that the person who said this is a person who is about 30 years old. Showing signs of being less childish than his own grandchild
"Poon, chuck, chuck," it's not just one person saying it. There's also his crazy younger sister. Then the two brothers spoke. 'Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck' together in a fun way
I turned to look at the other people around me. What are they doing? Starting with my girlfriend She was taking drunk selfies. As for my mother, she turned to mouse and have fun with Jett's mother. Coming from the side of the muscular man, he was lifting a young pig (Nong Plai) above his head. It was as if the little pig was as light as cotton. How strong is this?
The train slowly takes us on a journey to the moon. With the speed from what I saw, it would take approximately You should be able to reach the moon in 4 hours. If you want to ask how I know There is only one answer. Because I'm good at it. Not like my friend
"What are you smiling at? Why is there such an evil aura coming at me?"
"No, you just thought about it. You thought too much, haha." I laughed to cover up what my friend asked.
“What is there in front of you that makes the noise?” Chris asked after he stopped taking photos for a while.
“There's a sweet smell wafting through. It seems like the smell is getting closer and closer." So, it's my friend, right? The nose is so good.
Soon a cart operator stopped in front of us.
“Now it's already past noon. Passengers must be hungry. We have prepared lunch for you. This food may seem a bit strange. Because it was food in the past But I assure you it's very delicious.” The female attendant hurriedly picked up what she called food for all the passengers.
"Thank you." The muscular young man accepted the food humbly. But it made the female employee shocked. Playing with such a scary face Nong Ai Chet definitely went and grabbed it from prison.
“What is this called?” Chris asked curiously when he received what was called food.
"It's called sticky rice."
"What about this skewer?"
"That's called grilled chicken."
"So..." He didn't even have time to ask. The female employee answered knowingly.
"It's papaya salad."
"And how do they eat?" Chris' question might seem like a fool. But you're not stupid. She just doesn't know what food was like in the past. And how do you eat it? Because nowadays what we eat are 'synthetic nutrients' in the form of tablets. Some are liquid. Because the population is too large
Even though many humans have moved to other planets But there is hardly enough habitable space on Earth to allow for the production of food ingredients in the past.
"Come, I'll teach you." I picked up some sticky rice and formed it into small balls and fed it to my blonde girlfriend. Then tear off the rubbery chicken meat and feed in another bite.
"It's delicious." Chris chewed his food happily.
"Come on, I'd better give you some. Mmmmm."
"Really delicious. The more you feed it, the more delicious it will be.” While I was sweetly sweet with my girlfriend. Jett suddenly walked over and put his face close to Chris.
"Ummmm, give him some." He closed his eyes and opened his mouth, waiting for Kris to give him some. So I immediately put my hand over his mouth.
"Is it delicious, Mr. Jett?"
"I'm so jealous. You're a jealous bastard. One lover can't share friends."
"Oh, this guy, who's this crazy person who's splitting his girlfriend?"
"Remember, if I have a new boyfriend I won't share with you again.” This guy started to misunderstand people again.
“You!!” A murderous voice and a cruel aura radiated from the beautiful girlfriend who now seemed to have transformed into a demon.
"Don't listen to what he says. It's nonsense. You bastard, tell Chris the truth."
"I don't know, I don't care, I'm angry!" Jet shook his head and walked back to his seat. Leaving me to sit and explain to Chris.
The train has been out of the world for a while now. And now it is close to reaching the moon, which is our goal.
tight!
The sound rang out along with a violent vibration. It was as if something had hit the train. Suddenly, an image of a group of young men was projected.
"Hello everyone. Are you alright?” asked one of the friendliest and cutest looking men in the projection.
"I'm fine," everyone on the train replied cheerfully.
"Do you know who we are?"
"I don't know."
"So you want to know?"
"want"
“We are… prison escapees from Neptune. Hehehe.” The man who spoke cheerfully clapped his hands.
"...." Completely quiet throughout the procession.
"Haha. That's impossible. Neptune's prison has never been broken out. Anyone who is sent there is a person waiting to die.” A man spoke up amidst the silence.
That's right, Neptune Prison is the toughest prison. Even without the Space Police watching over but because it was none other than those who were captured Therefore, people in prison will have no one to give them water or food. and have to endure living on a cold star In the end he died miserably.
"Must have been a joke, haha," one passenger added.
"Hahaha" It made the whole train laugh. Including the group of men in the projected image.
“Oh, even if I tell you this much, we'll still laugh. So I'll tell you something fun. Do you want to listen?"
"want"
“We have seized this train. And we will kill all of you. It's scary," said a cute young man with a clear voice.
"Wow, that's so scary, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
"The performance was really good." Everyone enjoyed the performance. And it seems to help many people get rid of boredom from riding the train for a long time.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion from somewhere on the train. and followed by the screams of people who were struggling to escape the force of the explosion
"Scream!"
"Help me, what happened?"
"There's someone dead, right?"
The voices of people wondering Suddenly a bomb exploded on the train. And it also causes death.
“Wow, that's too bad, I accidentally pressed the bomb button. But don't be sad. I have installed them in many places. And most importantly, it is much more severe than the child just now. No one can escape this train.” The young man's words in the projection were as if they had been sent from hell. His cute face couldn't hide the evil thoughts in his heart any longer.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Who are you?"
"The space police will definitely catch you."
The people in the train were shouting. Even though I'm afraid in my heart
“I told you from the beginning that we were escaped prisoners from Neptune. Why don't we recognize each other? The reason why we do this is because I hate the timing company. Because he was the one who put me in jail. I will destroy his company. Well, there is another very important matter to tell.
The bomb that was set up was a time bomb. It will explode automatically. Now there is only time left for you guys. 1 hour only Do you think that stupid space policeman will be able to help you in time? Because before the police arrive, all of you will collapse and turn into cocoa powder, haha." The man who spoke laughed with satisfaction.
"Bad bastard, bastard"
"I don't want to die yet."
"Help me. Please spare my life."
A voice of complaint, begging for life Including many cursing sounds. When they knew that their life only had 1 hour left.
"Then I hope you enjoy the last days of your life very much. Goodbye, haha." The image disappeared, but the sound of the man in the picture threatening him was still engraved in the minds of those who heard it. Can they just wait for death here?
The train arrived behind the moon. causing darkness to slowly cover the procession As the light began to disappear, the little children and children all started crying. Children's cries mixed with the adults' cries of despair. What a sad final day.
"I'm scared, sir." Chris turned his head and rested his head on my arm. So I slowly turned around and hugged her.
"Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Nong Plai, it's okay. Don't be afraid. Mon as well. I'll protect you." The father could only embrace the two people he loved.
"Come on, I don't want to die yet. I am not married Plus I'm still single, oh no!" Jett shouted, bouncing around, unlike the two old women who came with him. The two didn't say a word. They could only look at the faces of her children. And without realizing it, tears slowly flowed down his cheeks.
While everyone is losing hope until there is nothing to do Including myself Suddenly, a voice echoed in my ears. It was a familiar sound. But I didn't know whose voice it was.
"I can't give up here." The mysterious voice was very loud. Until I was startled
“Who?” I accidentally shouted out loud.
"What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with your child?"
Even though the mysterious sound was very loud But from the puzzled reactions of Chris and his mother, It seemed that I was the only one who heard this sound. I guess I was so scared that my ears were ringing.
“You are not deaf. You have to go help everyone."
“What the hell is that noise?” I muttered to myself. The hand that was originally used to hold his girlfriend had to be used to cover both ears.
“Get up, you have to go defuse the bomb to save everyone. There's little time left." The mysterious voice continued to speak. That voice wanted me to help everyone. But it's impossible. The train is set wide. How long will it take to find all the bombs? Even if I know how to defuse a bomb. But in less than 1 hour, there was no way I could make it in time.
“You can do it. Trust me, I've found the location of nearly half the bombs on this train. The only thing left is for you to be the one to recover it.” I don't know what made me think that this voice was trustworthy. And I should do as he says.
"How do you know I can defuse a bomb?" I asked in a mysterious voice. Even though I believe him But he couldn't help but wonder.
"I already know. Don't ask too much. We don't have time. The first stop is at the head of the train.” The voice conveyed his agitation. I immediately got up to go defuse the bomb.
"Where are you going?"
"Where are you going, child?"
"Where are you going?"
When I stood up causing the people who came along to ask in one voice
"Go defuse the bomb."
When finished answering I immediately ran over. Finally I arrived at the head of the train.
“Where is it?” I asked.
"Under the left cabinet," the mysterious voice answered immediately.
I immediately opened the cabinet on my left. And what they found was the latest time bomb. I immediately took action to defuse the bomb. Soon I was able to recover it.
"One finished. Let's find the next child."
"Bogey 1 has 2 balls, the front right corner and the bottom of the 50th row seat on the far left." The mysterious voice continued to tell me the location while I was running towards Bogey 1 in earnest.
This train has a total of 50 cars. Each carriage can hold a total of 20,000 people. And as far as I can see, the bomb that was used was a very high-intensity bomb. If just one bomb exploded in this train, it could easily kill the entire train.
We even know the exact location of the bomb. But it is necessary to ask for everyone's cooperation in order to find the bomb faster. The people in the train cooperated very well.
"Bogey 1 complete" Now it took me about 5 minutes. There's not much time left. I have to hurry.
"Next, Bogey 3, below the middle seat, buried on the right hand side." It seemed like the mysterious voice was also accelerating.
Me and my mysterious voice helped quickly defuse almost 20 bombs. And now we're on bogey number 31.
“I only know the exact location of the bomb. From now on, we have to help each other find it,” a mysterious voice spoke up.
"There's no time. There are 19 bogeys remaining. If we don't know the exact location Will this happen in time?" I yelled.
"Must be in time! Otherwise, all I've done would be in vain. Hurry and find it again." A mysterious voice issued an ultimatum.
“Everyone, please take a look at the area around the seats. Including under the chair If anyone sees a bomb, call me immediately." I shouted again. But this time the search was much slower than before. Because we don't know the exact place.
“Right here,” one man shouted. I quickly ran towards him. and immediately detonated the bomb Soon another bomb was recovered.
"Has anyone else found a bomb?" Because I don't know how many there are. It made it even more difficult.
“Up there,” a young woman pointed above her head. I climbed up and successfully recovered another one.
"It's all gone. I have to continue." I immediately ran to the next pokies.
“My time is almost up. I have something important to tell you” as I was running. The mysterious voice spoke in a sad tone.
"what"
"The theory of turning back time is true."
"Haha"
"Before time runs out Follow that theory. It's the only way out.”
"Are you crazy? There's no way I'm going to kill the person I love." I shouted as loud as I could.
Theory of turning back time It was invented by a certain Dr. Ding Dong. which it has been said 'If we are in a moving vehicle Then sacrifice the life of one person you love very much. That moving vehicle will take us back to the past', but it's just a crazy theory that no one accepts. Because it's too cruel And there is nothing concretely guaranteed.
The train slowly moved away from the shadow of the moon. The light is coming back
“I have to go. You must help everyone.” The mysterious voice disappeared. with the light returning
"I would never kill the person I love. Never," I told myself and ran for the next bomb.
Last 5 minutes before the bomb goes off.
"Ryu"
"You."
I was held back by my mother and boyfriend. Now I'm at Bogie 39. Which is the bogey I was sitting in at the beginning.
“I have to go defuse all the bombs. There's little time left," I said hurriedly.
"It's not in time," said Chris, who was pulling my arm and gently shaking his head.
“Stay here, child. I want to spend my last days with you."
"Trust me," I said, knowing in my heart that there was no way I could make it in time.
"Are you tired, child? You don't have to bear it alone." Mother stood up and gently rubbed my head.
“I...I...I have to help everyone. I don't want the person I love to die, hehe." Tears flowed without stopping, stress, exhaustion, hopelessness, and the warmth my mother gave me. It made me even more sad that I couldn't protect him. and help loved ones
“There was no way to survive in the first place. It would be great if I could go back in time,” Chris said hopelessly.
"It can be done, but the conditions are too difficult," Jett said.
“Shut up,” I yelled, tears still flowing from my eyes.
“Jet told me,” my mother asked.
"You must sacrifice the life of one loved one," Jett said in a soft voice.
"No, I can't kill the person I love."
"Then just kill me, then go back in time and help me," Chris said.
“It's not as good as in the movies, Chris. A person who is killed to fulfill a condition will disappear from the past And at present, that person has no chance of being revived,” Jett continued to explain.
Silence replaced No one could say anything further.
“Kill mom, you have to go back and help everyone,” Mom said after everyone was silent for a long time.
"I can't. There must be another way to survive." I sat down and held my temples.
“Kill Mom,” Mom said, shoving a knife into my hand. She held my hand tightly. Until I couldn't put the knife down.
“Chris, please get the knife away from me,” I said to Chris. But my girlfriend was quiet. She had been bowing her head for a while since Chet had explained the terms of the time travel theory. She finally allowed herself to look up.
"Kill your mother. How will we all be saved? Kill her. I won't die like this." We're getting married, sir. If we survive We'll be happy too." Kris was already freaking out.
"Are you crazy? I can't kill my own mother," I shouted to regain her senses.
Suddenly, Chris lunged and pushed me hard. causing the hand holding the knife to stab into the middle of the mother's chest
“Mom!” I was startled and shouted out loudly.
"You're dead. We'll survive. We survived, haha," Chris laughed through tears.
"Chris, have you gone crazy? Mom, you're going to be okay," I cried, my hands still supporting my mother's body.
"You will survive, I love you." Mother raised her hand and kissed my head one last time. After Mom's voice stopped I felt like a body. was violently snatched Suddenly, a bright light shot into his face. As the light began to fade, I slowly opened my eyes.
“What is this?” What I saw in front of me was not my mother's body. Instead, it was a man and woman who looked exactly like me and Chris. And suddenly the light disappeared.
"I'm scared, sir," said a young woman who looked like Chris.
"So I've gone back in time? But why isn't anyone shocked that there are two of me? Or has no one seen me?” I couldn't help but wonder.
"Nah!"
"Nong Plai, it's okay. Don't be afraid. Mon too. I'll protect you."
"Come on, I don't want to die yet. I am not married Plus I'm still single, oh no."
Yes, of course I have gone back in time. This familiar sentence is evidence. And everything is true as the time travel theory says. This world doesn't have my mother. It makes me want to cry. But since my mother was willing to die in order for me to survive Therefore I must survive. Either way
"I can't give up here," I said to myself fiercely.
“Who?” my former self shouted.
Eh, why is this event so familiar? Or...I'm the mysterious voice, so the voice I heard came from my future self? So how did he release the condition of going back in time? Because the only people I love are my mother and Kris. Or is there someone else who is important but has been erased because of conditions?
“You are not deaf. You have to go help everyone.” I started to speak like my future self had said. Because I only have to reconcile myself from the past. No one sees me And I can't touch anything. The only person I could communicate with was my past self.
"Dammit, what is this noise?"
“Get up, you have to go defuse the bomb to save everyone. There is little time left,” I tried to convince my past self as quickly as possible. The faster the better. That meant I had more time left to defuse the bomb.
“You can do it. Trust me, I've found the location of nearly half the bombs on this train. The only thing left is for you to be the one to recover it.”
"How do you know I can defuse a bomb?" My former self really asked. I can't waste any more time. If I told you it was my future self, I would definitely have to sit and explain for a long time.
"I already know. Don't ask too much. We don't have time. The first stop is at the head of the train. Don't want to tell me I know everything about you. What are your parents' names? What date were you born? What's your ID number? What food do you like? What's your job? Including the reason why you can defuse a bomb, you're me. If you don't know, it's strange.
Finally, my past self agreed to believe it. The two of us immediately ran to the transport elevator. And now we have arrived at the front of the procession.
"Where is it?"
"Under the cabinet on the left." I immediately told him the location of the first bomb.
"One finished. Let's find the next child."
"Bogey 1 has 2 balls, front right corner and below the seat in row 50, far left." The two of us rushed to Bogey 1 immediately.
Bogie 1
People cried and cried. Lamenting at fate
“Excuse me,” my past self shouted. Make people in this pokies which had nearly 20,000 people turning to look at each other with one stare.
"I came to defuse the bomb. Anyone in the area around 50, please tell me." We need to ask for cooperation from everyone. Otherwise, we'll never be able to defuse all the bombs in time.
"Row 50 is here." We immediately ran to defuse the bomb.
"Bogey 1 complete" There are still 20 bombs left that I know the location of and 11 more bombs that haven't been surveyed yet.
"Next, Bogey 3, below the center seat, buried on the right hand side." I rushed myself even more.
Finally came to the last bogey where I knew the location of the bomb, Bogey 39, the bogey where I killed my own mother and returned to the past.
"You." My past self was held back by Kris.
“We don't have time. If you don't want the person you love to die. Hurry!” I immediately shouted at my past self. There's not much time left. I will not let my mother's life be wasted.
The former me slowly removed the hand of my boyfriend that was clinging to his arm. and ran away quickly
"Where's the next bomb?"
“I don't know anymore,” I replied.
"What do you mean?"
"After this, another 11 bogeys. We must help each other find it. There's not much time left." My heart was now completely restless.
The two of us searched together. and continually defuse bombs Until now, we have been disposing of bombs in Bogey No. 46.
building!
Suddenly I felt like my body was being gently pulled. Or is my time in the past running out?
"My time is running out," I said sadly. I couldn't defuse all the bombs. Did my mother have to die?
"Huh?"
“Sir,” I called him and was silent for a moment.
"what"
“You have to defuse all the bombs. Remember my words. No matter how little time is left, you can't give up. You have to do it to the utmost. I believe in you.” I can only trust this person. I didn't want to tell him about the past. Because if this past me were to go back in time, that would mean that he would have to kill Chris.
who was the only person he loved left. And that seems too cruel.
"I won't let anyone die," my former self said like that. And I believe he can definitely do it. Because he is me After that, I felt like I was being pulled violently again.
I opened my eyes from the darkness. The light hitting his face caused my vision to become slightly blurred. In front of me was the body of my deceased mother. So this means I'm back.
"We survived. Your mother is dead. Huh!" Chris began to cry.
“I'm not sure yet,” I said.
“Why, why haven't you gone back to the past? Well, since your mother is dead!” Kris cried out, her face filled with tears.
"I've gone back in time."
"So you can't fix anything?"
"I was sent back before I could defuse all the bombs."
"So I'm going to die? No, no."
"Right now we can only trust my past self." I held my mother's body in my hand.
As for me in the past
I ran for the bomb. and keep saving it. Even though there was no mysterious voice to help But I made a promise I must help everyone.
“Everyone, please take a look at the area around the seats. Including under the chair If anyone sees a bomb, call me immediately." I shouted again.
“Right here,” one man shouted. I quickly ran towards him. and immediately detonated the bomb Soon another bomb was recovered.
"Has anyone else found a bomb?" I asked, just to be sure.
"There aren't any." When all the bombs in the bogie were cleared out. I immediately ran to the next bogie. Now there are less than 5 minutes remaining. It made my heart even more restless. But because the words of that mysterious voice kept reminding me So it keeps me moving forward. And now there is only one bogey left.
Bogey 40, last bogey with only 3 minutes to go.
“Has anyone else found a bomb?” I shouted after quickly clearing out the bomb.
No one said anything. That meant I was able to defuse the bomb in time. I hurriedly ran to the moving elevator. To go tell the news to the people I love the most. But at that time
“There's another one over there,” a young woman said, pointing at a vent in the ceiling. In the middle of this bogey I hurried out of the elevator and ran to see what was expected to be the final bomb.
"Is it inside the vent?" I looked down at the clock. There's not much time left. If you just defuse the bomb, you probably won't be able to catch it easily. But here I have to unscrew the air vent first. What should I do? But I can't be afraid. I have to make it to the end. Even though the chance is small But it's not impossible.
"I'll help you," one man said.
"Seeing this, he's a skilled mechanic." The little boy who followed said proudly of his older brother.
“Okay, do you have a screwdriver?” I asked.
“Of course.” The man immediately rushed over to help remove the vent.
Because there are 2 people who are skilled technicians. So it made removing the vents faster than expected. So I hurried to defuse the bomb immediately.
"Only 5 seconds left," a voice shouted in shock. People prayed that I could recover it in time. My hands began to tremble. It barely had any strength to move. Can I do it?
I held my mother's hand. In the end there were only 5 seconds left. I prayed for my past self to be successful. My heart was pounding out of rhythm. I felt the utmost fear. But in that fear there is hope. Even if it's just a little But I believe in that hope.
I closed my eyes and held my mother's hand tightly. At that moment I almost stopped breathing. Nothing happened. That means that my past self was successful. We all survived. I opened my eyes and shouted with joy from the top of my lungs.
"Yay, we survived. We made it." I hugged my mother's breathless body.
When the people in the train realized that the bomb had not exploded, they rejoiced, cheered, and some even cried. Some jumped and danced. What a happy atmosphere.
1 January 3001
1 year after the incident that day passed
“Mom, we made it,” I said at her grave, as always. I come here every day I always tell my mother about the events of that day. What have I done? And what was the event after we survived?
"Mom, do you know when there were 5 seconds left? I was really scared, but I believed that my past self could do it." I continued to tell the story even though no one responded.
"That day After we knew we had survived because all the bombs had been recovered. The space police soon arrived. I guess it's true that they say the police often arrive late, haha." I laughed at the story I told.
"After the events of that day The timing company issued an apology. that the security system is not effective and refund the train ticket fare They even gave me money as consolation, haha.” I said it like it was a joke, even though inside I wanted to cry.
“The thieves were arrested a short time later. I even went as a witness to identify the culprit. They were ordered to be executed immediately.” I almost stomped them to bits. But was stopped by the police first.
“I was almost caught by the police as well. That's exactly what I killed. But the police concluded that it was just an accident. Because I have great merit. I was able to help almost 1 million people. Preventing a major mass murder from occurring. Everyone says I'm a hero." What the hell is a hero? Just one mother Couldn't help it.
"As for Chris Because she received stress from being under pressure. It caused her great mental distress. So she had to receive treatment. But now her condition is much better. I went to visit her the other day. It is expected that she will be released from the hospital soon.”
"Ai Ryu, are you finished yet? The work is about to start." Jett ran up to call me after waiting in the car for a long time.
"Just a moment, go wait in the car, I'll follow you," I shouted to my friend who called me. Then he turned to his mother's grave again.
“Today is one year since my mother left me. I miss mom. I love you, Mom.” I gently stroked the gravestone. Then he wiped away the tears that had flowed down his cheeks.
"Then I'll come talk to you again tomorrow, Mom."
The young man turned and slowly walked away from the grave. A gentle wind blows past. Warm sunlight shines down. When the young man who had been waiting to tell the story left. The silence returned again. But it won't be quiet forever. Because that man will still come back here to tell stories every day, forever.
