He set to work. Hi s fi rst task was to write hi s story, but he had to do i t careful l y. Al though he real i zed the man had been l yi ng, Zhou Yang knew he m ust not accuse hi m directl y. He woul d have to be accurate, Conci se too! H e knew how to do that. Months of trai ni ng had taught hi m to wri te with no wasted words or phrases. He sat down at hi s puter and began to work. The fi rst person who saw his arti cl e was a senior edi tor from his department,. He checked the evi dence, read the arti cl e and passed i t on to the copyeditor.

Hi t by a l ack of fresh ai r, m y head ached. Just as I tri ed to make the necessary adjustm ent to thi s new situati on, Wang Pi ng appeared. “Put on this m ask, ” he advi sed. “It?l l m ake you feel m uch better.” H e handed i t to m e and imm ediatel y huri ed me through to a sm al l room nearby for a rest. I felt beter i n no tim e. Soon I was back on m y feet agai n and fl owi ng him to col ect a hovering carriage dri ven by puter. These carriages fl oat above the ground and by bendi ng or pressi ng down i n your seat, you can m ove swi ftl y. Wang Pi ng fastened m y safety bel t and showed m e how to use it. Soon I coul d fl y as fast as him. H owever, I l ost sight of Wang Pi ng when we reached what looked l ike a large m arket because of too m any carriages fl yi ng by i n al di recti ons. H e was swept up i nto the centre of them . Just at that m oment I had a “ti m e lag” fl ashback and saw the area agai n as i t had been i n the year AD 2020. I reali zed that I had been transported into the future of what was sti l m y hom etown! Then I caught si ght of Wang Pi ng agai n and fl ew after him . Arri vi ng at a strangel ooking house, he showed m e i nto a large, bri ght cl ean room. It had a green wal , a brown fl oor and soft l i ghti ng. Suddenl y the wal m oved –i t was m ade of trees! I found l ater that thei r l eaves provi ded the room wi th m uchneeded oxygen. Then Wang Pi ng fl ashed a switch on a puter scren, and a tabl e and some chai rs rose from under the fl oor as i f by m agic. “Why not si t down and eat a l ittl e?” he sai d. “You m ay fi nd thi s di ffi cul t as i t i s your fi rst tim e travel tri p. Just rel ax, si nce there i s nothi ng pl anned on the tim etabl e today. Tom orrow you?l l be ready for som e vi si ts.” H avi ng sai d thi s, he spread som e food on the tabl e, and produced a bed from the fl oor. After he l eft, I had a bri ef m eal and a hot bath. Exhausted, I sli d i nto bed and fel l fast asl eep.
