Chapter 323 I'm just one hour away
"Fuck! Can't these guys stop chasing us?"
Carlos and his colleagues were chased by the employees of T Company. They had just fought off a wave of employees, but the employees who came later successfully made them know what cruelty was. A large group of people waved weapons and chased them. Adhering to the truth that the best strategy in the 36 strategies is to move around, everyone hurriedly rushed to the corner.
"Hey, this way!"
A man next to them, wearing the same scarf as the one on Jiu Tian Shui Xing's neck, waved at them and told them to run in one direction. Hearing the increasing footsteps of pursuers behind them, everyone didn't care whether the man was trustworthy or not and just ran towards the corner. Under the man's leadership, they crossed the alley and avoided their pursuit.
"Thanks, we'll give you whatever you want as compensation."
Carlos said to the man, after all, the people who can help you are not free. This is a city without interests. Who would help a group of insignificant people?
"What do you say? We are comrades with the same ideals. By the way, how was your investigation on the street?"
"Uh... (Carlos had never expected things to turn out this way.)
"Oh, we've been investigating a lot about the Time Ripper lately. Also, we've hired some of my friends from the Seventh Society to come over and help me solve these cases."
Little Mercury walked up to him calmly and talked to him, and the Holy Fool members in front of him did not doubt him at all. After all, the young-looking man in front of him was the smartest detective in the "Holy Fool" organization of their T Company branch, and was also well-liked by everyone. A friend who could be trusted by him would not be a bad person.
"These damn guys! In order to suppress our organization, they blamed us for the Time Ripper incident and tried to discredit our image among the people. We don't have time to get entangled with them now, but our priority now is to catch that guy and bring him to justice to clear our suspicion."
The "Holy Fool" member in front of him complained as he led a group of people to a room and knocked gently on the door. A man also wearing a scarf came out. After glancing at the people outside, he led them inside.
"Hey, how much is this box of cigarettes?"
Jiu Tian came to a stall, looked at the owner who was selling cigarettes in front of him, and asked him how much his cigarettes cost.
"Seven, as usual."
"4."
"I'm really at a disadvantage when you say that."
"4."
"Six. This is my lowest offer."
"4."
"Okay, okay, four, four."
Everyone was surprised to see Jiutian skillfully taking out the screw from his body, handing it to the boss, then taking the cigarette and starting to smoke. Jiutian expressed with his eyes that this was the credit of this personality.
"Regarding the Time Ripper, this guy has attacked many, many people so far, and the number of people attacked is gradually increasing. There is no fixed pattern for this guy to attack people, and we don't know how to prevent it."
"Is that so?"
Little Mercury was thinking about the problem while holding a lollipop in his mouth. Now he had no clue at all. His only idea was to ask the victims to see if they had any facial features of the Time Ripper, or some of his voices or subconscious habits.
"The one survivor who didn't have time to open the Ripper, we want to talk to him."
"Yes...but."
"So now we have to pretend to be the Seventh Association and help investigate the Time Ripper? Wow, it feels like we are acting in a detective novel!"
Lei Yu muttered softly with some excitement. After all, she had always dreamed of becoming a great detective, and this time her dream of becoming a detective had finally come true.
"We don't know how this guy managed to steal other people's time, so we need to ask the survivor of that incident. He is the owner of a watch factory right here."
Xiao Shuixing and Jiutian brought everyone here, where they saw a very strange scene, all the workers were producing watches on the assembly line, but their movements were extremely stiff... or should I say too slow, it was like a slow motion.
"Why are they so slow?"
"T Company, their trading currency is time. Some rich people can have 52 hours a day, but look at the workers on the assembly line, they may only have 7 to 8 hours a day, at most 10 hours, although the time in this world does not change as a whole."
Carlos explained the reason to everyone, but others didn't quite understand. There are 24 hours in each day, so why do some people have 52 hours while others only have ten hours?
"Let me tell you this. If a rich person can buy a lot of time, then from our perspective, his speed will be ridiculously fast. It's like turning on a shortcut key, because they compress more than 50 hours into one day, causing their speed to be two or three times faster in our eyes."
"In the normal world, a person can do one thing in one minute. Rich people have more time than normal people. One minute is equal to three minutes. So from our perspective, these people's speed will become very fast, as if time has jumped. They may have done many things in this short minute."
"And those who don't have money will be the opposite. In our eyes, they will become very slow. They can do one thing in one minute, but now it may become three minutes. Just think about it, you only have a dozen hours a day, and your speed is as slow as a snail, and it will be like this for the rest of your life. Isn't this feeling extremely desperate?"
Now everyone suddenly understood this cruel concept. At the same time, they realized that these poor workers would never be able to turn over in their lives. Their day was only ten hours, half of the normal time, and they had to spend most of their lives in the factory...
If people in other places could still turn their lives around by working hard to save money, this place was the least likely to do so because they only had ten hours. Even if they wanted to work hard and struggle, it would be impossible because they did not have enough time. They were only half the speed of a normal person, or even slower.
"How cruel... Are they bound here like robots for the rest of their lives?"
Dorothy, who loved adventure, felt sympathy for these poor workers. She could not imagine how painful it would be to be bound here for the rest of their lives and never be freed.
