Chapter 402: Parent's Angle
The door slowly opened. The clocks ticked in his ears. Luo Dong held the door frame and looked at the scene before him quietly. Various clocks hung in the small room. Each clock featured a human face. Or, more precisely, each clock represented one person. Luo Dong didn’t dare to barge in. He stayed at the door and looked around. This room looked no different from the others from the outside. However, it didn’t have a room number. After being at Prosperity Neighbourhood for some time, Luo Dong knew that the room numbers corresponded to the dates. The dates were something important for the room owners. For example, the room number for his own room was the date he met his wife.
“Where am I? Am I at the end of the future?”
Physical pain affected Luo Dong no more. He laid his heart over his heart, entered the room and closed the door.
Inside the room of clocks, the needles on the clocks ticked endlessly. Multiple fates careened towards the abyss. Everyone’s life was exposed before Luo Dong.
“Did the voice in my heart call me here? Or did I want to come here?” Luo Dong met Gao Ming two days ago. Gao Ming told him some strange things. Back then, Luo Dong didn’t understand any of it. However, as long as it was a request from Gao Ming, he would agree to it unconditionally because Gao Ming had once saved his family.
Luo Dong listened to the voice in his heart. Eventually, only the sound of one clock remained in his ears. Luo Dong shut out the disruptions and chased after the flow of time. When he opened his eyes, he was already inside the main bedroom. He was standing in the corner. Before him was a clock. In the room of clocks, this room appeared normal and unimportant.
“Is this the thing that has been calling me?”
Everlasting Life Apartments had hidden floors and rooms. It was the same for Prosperity Neighbourhood. Luo Dong knelt on the ground to study the clock. At that moment, footsteps came from outside the house. “Is the owner coming home?”
Luo Dong stopped hesitating. He opened the cover of the clock. His intention was to hide the clockface or destroy it. However, once his hand touched the needle, five thin strands curled onto his body. At the same time, Luo Dong’s heart started to beat at a fixed rhythm. His fate appeared to have been bound to something inside the clock a few days ago. The connection could not be severed.
