What kind of experience is it to spend the same day over and over again?

it was not until September 14 of the fifth time that Lao Lin was the first to realize that something was wrong.

"well, I feel like I live exactly the same life every day."

before saying this, he and two other shared bachelors were sitting around the small table in the living room, turning on the TV news in order to hear the sound. On the screen, a familiar man and a woman are broadcasting that domestic leaders are meeting with foreign leaders. Outside the screen, two other residents, Donnie and Lu, bowed their heads and ate while looking at their mobile phones.

Why do you say it again?

although every day is like this, somehow this day is a little different. This wonderful state of mind is somewhat similar to the old and new experience when he first entered the factory more than a decade ago and flowed through endless parts in front of him.

when I thought of this, the man who was nearly unperturbed began to think of his former spirit and melancholy. If Donnie hadn't pulled him out of his memory in time, they might have waited another day to find the problem.

"you just found out." Donnie is picking his teeth to send Wechat to the company's new receptionist, "squeeze the subway to work every day, squeeze the subway after work, and live like a clockwork." Isn't it exactly the same life? "

Donnie's real name is not Donnie. He quite likes the English name of his movie star. He will ignore anyone who wants to call him by his real name. But then again, none of the residents remember each other's names. Lao Lin is called Lao Lin, and A Lu is called A Lu.

Lao Lin touched his broad chin and thought about it carefully, as if it was not what Donnie said.

"I mean, the day is exactly the same. The day before yesterday, yesterday and today, it seems to be the same day. You see, there are always a few things in the news. " He pointed to the old faces on TV.

with this action, some previously vague memories become distinct. For example, when taking the bus to work these days, the driver always yells at a red car at the same intersection; in the factory, the same number of parts are checked and broken every day; on the way home, I see that the furniture store across the street has been closed for the last three days.

Oh no, that doesn't count. The notice for the last three days has been posted for almost a year.

"there is nothing new in the sun. You see, there are always a few people and a few things on the news network. " Donnie casually threw the toothpick on the table.

Lao Lin could not get recognition from him and turned his attention to another young man at the dinner table.

this former college student, who has just entered the society, is also on the phone when he eats. The thumb of the left hand moves the mobile phone screen rhythmically, while the right hand pulls chopsticks in the bowl with irregular movements, which seems to be a way to practice fighting between the left and the right. The small bowl of rice was flirted to death by him, and he never got a good time.

"what do you think, Lu?"

A Lu suddenly regained consciousness when he was called out. He put down his phone, scraped the meal into his mouth in a couple of mouths, and set up the table blankly.

Lao Lin raised his hand to stop him. "there's no hurry to clean up this thing. Let me ask you, do you think there's something wrong with you these days? It seems that the past is the same day. "

"same day?" Lu looked at Lao Lin and Donnie in bewilderment.

Downey shrugged disapprovingly.

Lao Lin continued: "Today, September 14th, is that right?"

A Lu took an uncertain look at the time on the phone and nodded.

"what date should it be yesterday?"

"the thirteenth."

"the day before yesterday?"

"the twelfth."

Lao Lin shook his head and clasped his hands: "the day before yesterday was September 14, yesterday was also September 14, today is still September 14, tomorrow can only be September 14." It's always September 14th. "

A Lu inexplicably flipped through the calendar. "where did you go on the fifteenth?"

"that's what's wrong with it!" Lao Lin slapped his thigh hard. "maybe the 15th will never come!"

Downey sent a message to her female colleague, "what are you going to do tomorrow weekend?" After Wechat, said lazily: "I pinched the day to calculate, you should also reach the age of midlife crisis." Your problem is suffocated in this steel and concrete forest. My suggestion is that you go out for a trip and be temporarily liberated from the same days. Then you will find that life can actually be very different. "

"really?" Lao Lin touched his face. The rough skin reminded him that he was no longer young. Are you getting old and confused?

think about it, in fact, he never remembers who meets whom in the daily news, the bus driver scolds people every day, and the number at work may just happen to be a coincidence.

seeing that Lao Lin was almost convinced, A Lu's voice suddenly came out. "Ah! I told you! So that's it! " He held up his cell phone and pushed the thin-rimmed glasses on his face, his eyes glowing with excitement.

"the article I followed has not been updated for three days, which is absolutely not normal. It is more possible to break one or two, but how is it possible that all articles are broken? In particular, the novel I have been chasing since junior high school has never been broken for ten thousand a day, and I am worried about whether the author died suddenly. If we spend the same day over and over again, that makes sense! "

Lao Lin doesn't quite understand the basis of his judgment, but he is really encouraged. "that's it! I'm only in my early thirties, and I'm not middle-aged or in crisis! "

Donnie looked at them as a fool, sighed, and decided to focus onHook up with the new receptionist.

here comes Wechat.

"what are you talking about? it's only Monday."

at that moment, his mood was like seeing a nightmare he had had one night suddenly come true. Anything can go wrong at work, but he can never count that he has been to the company five times.

Downey raised his head abruptly and his eyes fell on the other two. Lao Lin is muttering something. Lu was still in some kind of unexplained excitement, and a pimple on his face was turning red. It was obvious that the two men were still a little confused about the situation, and only he was aware of the serious predicament for the first time.

there will be no more weekends.

Open your eyes again, the time in the mobile phone, the news on the web page and the jokes posted in the moments. They all proved one thing clearly: they were trapped on September 14 and didn't find out until the fifth time.

after confirming that the same thing happened to everyone in the living room, they were all wondering who would be the first to jump out and panic.

Lao Lin is a little worried about A Lu. After all, he is the youngest. He has nothing to do and is not as knowledgeable as he is. Donnie thinks it should be Lao Lin, because he is the oldest, and I'm afraid he will be too rigid to accept such a fantasy. A Lu was really excited and felt that he had had some adventures and was going to become a character like the protagonist of the novel. He doesn't care who makes the noise first, but they are all supporting roles.

they stood for a long time and missed the best time to break out. In the end, Lao Lin couldn't help going to the bathroom first, and the matter of who was responsible for the mental breakdown came to an end.

days do not repeat themselves well, it is obvious that there is something wrong with it, which needs to be corrected. Unfortunately, among them are the small director of the quality inspection department of the factory, the ordinary white-collar workers who write and plan, and the software sales that have just graduated. None of them is good at dealing with the problem of time and space.

Lao Lin asked the department in charge of scientific affairs and unscientific affairs for help. He even ran through the street several times, but he was regarded as a mental illness. On the other hand, A Lu sought support in various forums and groups, and the responses from netizens were so rich and colorful that they didn't take it seriously.

Downey doesn't think Lao Lin can achieve anything by running around, so he might as well save his strength to burn incense and worship Buddha. At the same time, he also scoffed at the people Lu found online. He asked the question "what kind of experience it is to spend the same day over and over again" on the website, writing down his experience in the hope of finding his own kind. In the end, only a few jokes and novels were attracted. The quality of novels and jokes is not high, and the problem has not caught fire after all.

after several futile reincarnations, they finally realized that they were the only three people in the world who were repeating the 14th of September, and that they had to rely on themselves to save themselves.

September 14th. It is the 257th day of the year, and there are 108 days left before the end of the year. It is very special and is the only day after September 13 and before September 15.

on such a special day, it is really unreasonable for them to repeat it several times before they find that something is wrong.

it's like everyone traveling together, and suddenly a faint text message floats after the plane lands and opens its cell phone. A half-acquainted friend was left in the toilet at the departure airport by everyone, and no one remembered him along the way.

to this end, a unique symposium was held in this rented room with three rooms and one living room. At the

meeting, A Lu sincerely apologized to September 14, promising to commemorate this day every year after that, hoping to let it leave with peace of mind. On the other hand, Lao Lin recalled every September 14 of his life, and even recalled the experience of fishing on that day when he was ten years old, in order to prove that he had never neglected this day.

Downey watched their confessions, regretting that the two good people had gone crazy.

"how many people in the world didn't care about September 14? He is so magnanimous, how can he deliberately embarrass us three ordinary people? " He said to the calendar spread out on the table until September 14th, "Don't you think so?"

after fully expressing their deep feelings for September 14, everyone sat around the table. Lu opened his laptop from college to the present to learn and communicate everything about September 14.

"you see, in 1752, Britain changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, jumping directly from September 2 to September 14!" He shouted as if he had discovered a new world.

Donnie looked at it and nodded. "so what?"

"nothing." Lu scratched his nose and then saw below. "China sent its first e-mail on this day in 1987. So today is called netizens' Day. "

"so?"

"the first time I heard about it, I was just surprised."

Donnie shook his head and was disappointed with Lu's performance. "you can't do that if you only know what happened on September 14th. You have to understand how far-reaching these things will be in order to show the importance of this day. "

he grabbed the mouse and dragged the progress bar. For a moment, he suddenly stopped on one, showing the expression of "this is it".

A Lu put his face together. Dante, the author of the Divine Comedy, died in 1321. What's wrong with this? "

"Dante chose to die on this day, which shows that September 14th is unique. As long as you remember the 14th of September, you will not forget Dante's memorial day. This can be of great use at critical times. "

"when you take part in the quiz?" Lu is a little confused.

"when chatting with young women in literature and art."

"what kind of crap do you two care about!" Lao Lin finally couldn't watch it any longer, pushed the two people aside, looked at the whole web page again, pointed to one and said, "look at this."

Downey and Alu read in unison: "is the railway station built?"

"the railway station was not built here, and I won't be recruited to that factory when I get here by train. Then my whole life trajectory is completely different, and the life trajectory of many people is different. We can see how important September 14th is. "

they boasted all kinds of anniversaries on September 14, and promised to make it their own anniversary year after year.

after the forum, the warm atmosphere in the room gradually cooled down. Lao Lin sat down on the sofa and took out his cigarette case and broke the rule of not smoking in the living room. Lu no longer cares about the encyclopedia and instead searches for "repeat the same day." Donnie rarely protested against the smell of smoke and looked at the smoke in the living room.

"Lao Lin, do you think it's really useful for us to do this?" He said.

"what do you think?"

Donnie doesn't even think about it. "it's useless."

Lao Lin smiled a wry smile. "useful but useless, ask for peace of mind."

"it's a relief to be crazy."

"Don't think about it. Now that all three of us are stuck in this day, we should work together to escape from this day! " Lao Lin waved his hand emphatically.

"how do we get out of here? Just by praising the 14th of September? " Donnie poured some cold water.

"these days I have been thinking that there are only two possibilities in the situation we are facing now: either some powerful man is making fun of us, or he is doing some experiment, or there is some phenomenon that science cannot explain."

A Lu stared at the computer screen and said without looking back, "I think it's the latter. It must be some kind of supernatural phenomenon of time and space disorder. It's like we're constantly archiving and reading files in the game."

Donnie is dismissive. "what's the use of thinking about it? what's the difference?"

"Yes, it makes no difference." Lao Lin unexpectedly agreed with Donnie. "if it were a natural phenomenon, there would be nothing we could do. Since this phenomenon happens suddenly for no reason, it is impossible to say that it can suddenly disappear for no reason. All we can do is wait. "

Lao Lin flicked the cigarette ash.

"if some big shot is involved. We have to think, what is his purpose? He must want to see some kind of change when he does this to us. If we act too abnormal, it may make the gentleman think it is interesting and worth going on. On the contrary, we live as usual, maybe if he finds it boring, he will change his goal. "

"what do you mean?" Donnie recognized something.

"do more, make more mistakes, we'd better do nothing." He exhaled his last cigarette and pressed the butt out hard. "Let's pretend not to notice and live as usual."

A Lu asked, "is it too late to start pretending you don't know?"

"it's not too late to start pretending tomorrow."

it's settled.
