Late at night, a starless sky hung over the Rhine Laboratory at Donghai University.
Lin Xian, carrying a briefcase, pushed open the door and entered; Liu Feng had already been waiting for him for quite some time.
"Look."
Liu Feng pulled Lin Xian to the central experimental bench to observe the reading on the Space-Time Clock, which now steadily displayed—
[0.0000168]
It was still a multiple of 0.0000042, but the negative sign before it had disappeared.
That is to say, since escaping in the wee hours of the morning upon receiving Liu Feng's call, the world line had risen from -0.0000042 to 0.0000168.
"How did it specifically change?"
Lin Xian asked:
"Give me a detailed description."
Liu Feng glanced at his watch:
"At 01:18 AM, the reading on the Space-Time Clock plummeted dramatically, dropping straight from the original 0.0000336, declining all the way, and finally falling to -0.0000042."
