Chapter 158 Will I die in the next 72 hours?
Lin Chen looked completely bewildered.
what's the situation?
He originally thought he would probably never need to use that dream warning device in his lifetime.
I never expected it to actually work now?
But how could a high school student like me be in mortal danger?
With these questions in mind, Lin Chen rushed into the early warning room.
The room was also filled with flashing red lights, and the alarm lights on the roof were flashing incessantly.
Lin Chen sat down on the sofa, found the remote control based on his memory from the last time he came, and pressed the switch.
Immediately, the piercing alarm and flashing lights finally stopped.
At the same time, the large screen in front of Lin Chen also lit up.
A deep humming sound gradually came from the speakers in the four corners of the room.
Lin Chen watched the screen gradually light up, as if he were watching a movie in a private cinema.
What appeared on the screen was a scene that seemed to be filmed from a first-person perspective.
Lin Chen took a closer look and realized that the scene in the picture must have taken place on an airplane.
And it was first class!
"Young man, you are the most amazing young person I have ever met! Did you really learn everything you just said on your own?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a suit and glasses appeared on the screen.
The other person looked kind, but his brows were full of wrinkles and his temples were gray, as if he had been working hard all the time.
"Uncle, you flatter me. I was just looking around on my own."
Hearing his own voice coming from the loudspeaker, Lin Chen was taken aback at first, but then he understood.
Is the first-person perspective on emotions actually derived from one's own viewpoint?
This reminds me of the function of a dream warning device.
Lin Chen couldn't help but wonder if what he was seeing now was the scene of danger he would face in the next 72 hours?
Judging from the scene, he should be on a plane back to China, right?
What dangers could you possibly encounter?
"I never expected you to have such a talent for cryptography. It's fate that we met. I have a book for you; you can study it more in the future."
Lin Chen saw in the video that the middle-aged man handed him a book.
The cover features the words "Crypto Stories" in large English letters.
This is a popular book that introduces the development of cryptography and its social impact.
Is this person over there someone who studies cryptography?
At this moment, Lin Chen noticed that he seemed to have been sitting for quite a while in the image.
He unfastened the seat buckle, said something to the middle-aged man, and then walked towards the economy class.
Lin Chen watched himself move in the image and felt strange.
Why is the person in the picture sitting in economy class?
And he was alone?
What about Chen Xiaoxiao and the others?
Just then, a familiar face finally appeared on the screen: Xiao Li!
Lin Chen looked at himself on the screen and exchanged a few pleasantries with Xiao Li, getting a general understanding of the situation on the screen.
It seemed that there were only Xiao Li and him on this plane!
Moreover, Lin Chen was in first class, while Xiao Li was in economy class.
In the scene, Lin Chen wanted Xiao Li to experience first class, but Xiao Li refused with a smile.
The two chatted for a while longer, and then Lin Chen in the video walked back to the first-class cabin.
Seeing this, Lin Chen was filled with questions.
Up until now, he has seen absolutely no danger on the plane.
Since the warning device specifically issued an alarm, it couldn't have been without reason...
Could it be a plane crash?
Just then, Lin Chen's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he sat up straight.
Because he saw that something seemed to be wrong in the scene on the screen!
In the video, Lin Chen is seen back in first class.
However, Lin Chen, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately noticed that something was wrong.
So quiet!
It wasn't so quiet when I left first class in the previous footage.
But now, the first-class cabin on the screen is so quiet that only the buzzing of the plane can be heard.
Lin Chen in the scene seemed to have noticed something was wrong as well.
But after taking only one step, his body suddenly went limp, he staggered, and leaned against a seat.
"sorry."
Lin Chen saw himself in the video apologizing to the guests in his seat, but then suddenly exclaimed "Huh?"
Because in the seat, a man who looked like a business elite was fast asleep.
The man's hands were still on a laptop.
It's as if I suddenly fell asleep while working.
And it wasn't just him; as Lin Chen on the screen looked up and around, so too did others.
Lin Chen, who was on the sofa, immediately noticed that everyone in the first-class cabin was asleep with their heads tilted to the side!
Lin Chen himself did not last long either.
As the image on the screen, representing Lin Chen's perspective, slowly darkened.
After a series of thuds, the footage from the future ended.
Lin Chen sat on the sofa and waited for a full ten seconds, but the screen did not light up again.
Is this over?
As if hearing his thoughts, Natasha's voice rang out.
"Comrade, the warning screen from the dream warning device has finished playing."
"I regret to inform you that the person on the screen is probably already dead."
"But please don't lose heart! Although danger is imminent, your unwavering faith and fearless spirit will surely help you turn the tide!"
"Glory and victory belong to all loyal and brave warriors!"
Thank you for your kind words!
Lin Chen gave a wry smile and began to think about what he had just seen.
Clearly, that's what will happen to me in the future.
In the near future... or rather, as early as tonight, he may encounter an accident.
I think that way because it's past midnight now.
According to the schedule of the math Olympiad team that Lin Chen knew in advance.
They expect to return home today, departing tonight after the results of the International Mathematical Olympiad are announced.
However, this timing doesn't seem right.
Because he remembered that in the footage just now, the sun visors next to several seats were open.
Outside the stadium, the sky was a clear blue.
Therefore, at least when the incident occurred, it must have happened during the daytime.
Another thing that puzzled Lin Chen was why there were only him and Xiao Li on the plane at the time.
What about Chen Xiaoxiao and the others?
Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something.
"Natasha, was what I just saw a part of the future that is bound to happen?"
"Of course not, comrade! The images in the dream warning device, although they show potential dangers, show that the future is not static, but rather in our own hands!"
Now that you have the ability to foresee danger, it means you can take action in advance to avoid unnecessary losses.
This is precisely the embodiment of revolutionary spirit—planning ahead and taking the initiative!
"So it was avoidable?"
In that case, the dream warning device can be considered a magical artifact!
Since you know that flying can cause accidents, why not just choose not to fly back to China afterward?
If you're not flying back to China from Australia, you can also take a boat!
Although it took a long time, at least there was no danger to my life!
Thinking of this, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
only……
Lin Chen suddenly frowned.
While I could choose to return by boat to ensure my safety, what about the people on that plane?
"Natasha, if I hadn't taken that flight, would something have happened to the plane?"
"Comrade, while the prophecies of the dream warning device can be avoided, some things will not change!"
"That plane was clearly not in danger because of you, and your departure will not save it from disaster."
So... even if I'm safe, the plane might still be in danger?
Should I be content with my own safety, or...?
"Comrade, the greatness of revolutionaries lies in standing up for others, not in being self-righteous."
Hearing Natasha's sudden words, Lin Chen gave a wry smile.
Please, I'm not a revolutionary, I'm just a high school student!
