Growing up with eccentric materialistic parents who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew when one day at midnight time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening. That night, he discovered that he had 24 hours more than everybody else and thus, marked the beginning of his adventures. The mysteries surrounding his newfound ability only deepened when a strange old man claimed to have given Zhang Heng that ‘gift of time’ and recruited the young man to participate in a cryptic ‘life-changing’ game on his behalf. Little did Zhang Heng know that accepting those terms meant embroiling himself in many versions of reality and exposing himself to the hidden secrets of the world—a decision he could never undo.

48 Hours a Day

Seeing Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan's reaction, Ma Lu became a little shaken himself.

However, he still found it hard to accept these surreal things. The concept of an endless tunnel sounded utter ridiculous.

However, he did see Zhang Heng pick up the one-dollar coin from the ground. Logically speaking, no one had entered this tunnel since it was abandoned 50 years ago, and at that time, this one-dollar coin hadn't even been designed yet. This indicated that the coin had been tossed not too long ago.

Of course, there was another possibility, and that was the two people who had jumped off the platform earlier. Thinking of this, Ma Lu's eyes lit up again. He felt that he had found the only possible explanation. He, however, did not understand why Zhang Heng would lie about this matter. After contacting the other party, he insisted on listening to him talk about the rumors here. Zhang Heng appeared to be deliberately turning the atmosphere into a scary one.
