48 Hours a Day

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.

Underwater Ruins

It was June, and the sunlight was still reasonably sufficient. The three felt a little stuffy in their wetsuits, but the stuffiness somehow disappeared the moment they entered the sea. As they dived deeper into the ocean, the temperature around them began to drop as well.

With a much higher thermal conductivity than air, a human would lose more heat in the water than on land. Fortunately, their diving suits helped them fight off the cold. Usually, casual divers like them would not dive too deep into the sea. Every ten meters deeper, the pressure would turn up a notch. After diving deeper than thirty meters, they risked suffering from nitrogen intoxication. The ordinary diving cylinder would typically be filled with compressed air consisting of 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen. Under high pressure, nitrogen would enter the diver's body, and at the same time, breathing pure oxygen under a high-pressure environment for too long would cause oxygen poisoning.
