Even hybrid monsters have their day

"How could that be? It was on the news last night. Around seven o'clock, two men were fighting and accidentally pushed a woman, which caused her to be hit by a car."

The manager laughed and said, "This young lady really loves to joke. Last night, we had guests who needed to be picked up from the airport, and our hotel sent someone over. It was around seven or eight o'clock at the time, and nothing happened there."

After the housekeeping manager left, Geng Miaowan and Xu Ruwen exchanged a glance, both seeing questions in each other's eyes.

After completing the registration, they went out to inquire again, but they still couldn't find any information about Peng Yuxian or the car accident, as if it had never happened at all.

As they passed a newsstand, Xu Ruwen casually picked up a newspaper. Geng Miaowan waited beside him as he flipped through the newspaper, waiting for the newsstand owner to give him his change.

However, after turning just one page, he found the contents very familiar. Looking at the date, he realized it was February 14th. He closed the newspaper and handed it back to the newsstand owner, saying, "Boss, why is yesterday's newspaper here?"

"Oh, thank you! Just get another one for yourself." The shopkeeper handed him the change and took the newspaper from him, glancing through it casually while muttering, "Strange, how come there's yesterday's newspaper tucked in here..."

Xu Ruwen picked up another newspaper from the stall and saw that it was still from February 14th. He casually flipped through it and found that the whole stack of newspapers was from February 14th.

At this moment, the newsstand owner also spoke up, "February 14th, that's right, this is today's newspaper."

"Is today February 14th?" he asked, puzzled.

"Of course, it's Valentine's Day today. Everyone knows that," the newsstand owner said, handing him the phone he had been playing with. "Look, it's February 14th."

Xu Ruwen glanced at it. He quickly took out his phone from his pocket, opened it, and sure enough, it showed February 14th. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, and he smiled at the newsstand owner, "Sorry. I made a mistake. I'll take this newspaper."

Watching Xu Ruwen hurriedly pull Geng Miaowan away, the newsstand owner chuckled twice and muttered, "This young man can't even remember such an important holiday. What a waste of such a beautiful girl."

After being hastily pulled back to the hotel by Xu Ruwen, Geng Miaowan was surprised by his words. "Are you really sure this newspaper is the one you saw yesterday?"

“It’s absolutely true. You can test me if you don’t believe me.” Xu Ruwen handed the newspaper to her. Although he had only skimmed through yesterday’s newspaper, reading ten lines at a glance and having a photographic memory was no problem for him.

Geng Miaowan took the newspaper with some skepticism and picked out a few news items to ask him. He answered them all correctly, word for word. She was extremely surprised and then asked Huangfu Aohan, "Do you remember what day it was yesterday?"

Huangfu Aohan lay there lazily, saying, "Who has time to memorize that?" implying that Xu Ruwen was a boring person.

Just then, the door rang. When they opened it, the housekeeping manager was standing outside with a strange expression. As soon as he saw Geng Miaowan, he grabbed her hand so quickly that Xu Ruwen didn't even have time to stop him.

This clearly demonstrates that human potential, if properly unleashed, should not be underestimated.

"Miss Geng, you are truly amazing!" The manager said, his voice clearly filled with excitement.

Geng Miaowan was taken aback by his words. She silently withdrew her hand and asked, "Manager Jin, what's wrong?"

"It's a hit! It's all a hit!"

He then said something that left her completely confused: "What do you mean by 'won all the way'? It's not like it's the lottery."

Seeing this, Xu Ruwen came over and stood between him and Geng Miaowan, looking down at him, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Sensing the pressure emanating from Xu Ruwen, Manager Jin finally toned down his somewhat exaggerated expression. "You two probably don't know yet, but there was a car accident near the airport."

Geng Miaowan wanted to say, "Brother, someone got into a car accident, why are you laughing about it? Do you have to be so gloating?"

Xu Ruwen didn't speak, just looked at him. Manager Jin was clearly a very perceptive person; just from Xu Ruwen's expression, he knew that the other party was waiting for him to finish speaking. He quickly straightened his expression and continued, "This morning, didn't you two ask me if there had been any car accidents near the airport? I just heard some guests passing by say that there really was a car accident there. A young woman was accidentally pushed into the road by two men who were fighting, and she was hit by a private car."

Finally, he added, "It was absolutely right, exactly as you all said!"

When Manager Jin said this, his expression was probably more excited than if he had won the lottery. However, Geng Miaowan and Xu Ruwen didn't have time to pay attention to his appearance; their minds were completely absorbed by the car accident.

She quickly looked at Xu Ruwen, "Car accident... Hurry!"

After saying that, she ran out quickly before Xu Ruwen could make a move, with Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aohan following closely behind.

When they arrived at the scene of the accident, it was deserted; there was no one there, only a pool of blood that hadn't dried completely. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a faint smell of blood.

"What do you think happened..." Geng Miaowan asked Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aohan. She seemed to have noticed something, but she needed to confirm it further.

"What I think is probably the same as what you think."

"Go to the hospital!"

So, on their way to the hospital, the two people and the dog sorted out the situation and concluded that an unknown force had frozen time in this space forever on February 14th, endlessly repeating the events of that day.

It's like a pre-programmed system that resets completely at midnight, starting all over again from the very first second of February 14th. That original February 14th.

The Eternal City, so that's what it refers to!

Geng Miaowan suddenly felt enlightened.

That's why she wasn't in the video, and that's why there's no record of them checking into the hotel room, because they weren't actually in that space on February 14th.

That's why Peng Yuxian and Qiu Pi disappeared from their sight at midnight, because they weren't here at all in the early hours of February 14th. (To be continued.)
