Xiao Daidzhao

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 left the Forum Room after ending the exchange with Fan Meinan, but he did not change his plans to return home.

It would be safer to stay in Ireland, but as he said, he still had unfinished business. Fan Meinan's illness had not been treated, and there was a ticking time bomb in his body, most importantly, his family was here, and he did not want to bring trouble to them.

Every day he stayed here, the risk of being found increased. At the same time, the other party would also notice his parents, grandfather, and unborn sister.

That was why Zhang Heng decided to pass on the most important reason. However, he did not tell Xiao Xia or the other people in the room about it. Even so, the night before he left, there would still be a small problem.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when Zhang Heng heard the sound coming from downstairs.
