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

Zhang Heng was about to assemble a Lego motorcycle and let the old man lead the way. He searched the entire abandoned subway line, but he did not expect to see Fan Meinan's figure again at the entrance of the tunnel.

Fan Meinan was not injured. Other than her pale face, her condition didn't change much from before they separated.

Ma Lu was elated to see this. "Where did you run off to? I'm so glad you're okay."

"Oh, I heard some movement from the tunnel earlier, so I went in to take a look and I accidentally wandered off," Fan Meinan mumbled. Then, she turned to look at Zhang Heng and asked with concern.

"You're back? Did you run into any trouble down there?"
