In the darkness, the kimono woman confronted Chen Ke, but Chen Ke did not feel the murderous aura. The others around suddenly disappeared. In a blink of an eye, the subway station was empty, leaving only Chen Ke and that woman.

Chen Ke pointed his gun at her, hesitating whether to pull the trigger. At this time, the woman suddenly turned around and walked towards the stairs on the right.

"Leave..."

Chen Ke was stunned, not knowing what she was going to do, but his intuition told himself that this woman hoped she would keep up with her.

He groped in the darkness, tentatively following the woman's footsteps and chasing him.

At this time, the light in the subway station gradually returned to normal, and the light yellow light shone down from the dark sky. After a few seconds, the ceiling and incandescent lamps appeared in front of you. The decoration style of the platform changed. The stand equipment hung on the wall disappeared, and the green and orange route indicator lines decorated on the floor and wall turned into a somewhat faded light red.

The black figure slowly appeared beside him, and quickly went from the shadow state to the real person. Chen Ke quickly took back his weapon. The next second, the harsh whistling sound of the subway came from the depths of the tunnel, and there were bustling crowds around him.

"This is..." Chen Ke said to himself. The people around him were dressed very modern. He looked up at the station newspaper. The place was right, but Shinjuku Station...

Chen Ke squeezed through the crowd and came to the stairs at the subway exit. His eyes swept through the flow of people. His left eye caught the woman in a white kimono. She was standing on the stairs waiting for her.

He stepped on the steps and went up step by step. The sunlight at the exit shone down, which was a little dazzling. Seeing Chen Ke follow, the woman turned around and left. Chen Ke let his eyes adapt for a while, then ran up quickly and stood at the entrance of the subway station.

This is the street in Shinjuku, but it looks older than before. The traffic lights flashed, and a large number of people were waiting on the roadside, while medieval vehicles were rushing past the intersection. Everything was in order, but for some reason, the people on the road looked very tired and depressed.

The kimono woman was in the distance, and she slowly walked through the streets where traffic flowed. The car passed through her body, as if passing through a phantom. Chen Ke hurriedly followed, and passers-by around him looked at him strangely.

Chen Ke walked while observing the unfamiliar streets under the sun. He noticed that there were many bankrupt stores beside the surrounding streets, and there were many unfinished buildings around. After half of the building was built, a house was left in the open space, and even the venue was not surrounded.

He passed by a large shopping mall, and the TV wall in the street window was playing midday news. Chen Ke glanced at it and noticed that the time above was May 3, 2013, at 2 pm.

Heisei 3 years...

Chen Ke frowned. He happened to know some knowledge about the Japanese era name. After all, there was a joke on the Internet, called "Showa man, Heisei waste."

To understand this joke, you must understand what the year number is.

The year name is a dynasty record system initiated by the monarch in the feudal era. Emperors of all dynasties generally have to change the year name when encountering major events such as "auspiciousness from heaven" or internal strife and external worries.

The number of emperors used was as little as one, and the number was as much as a dozen. Most emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties each had one year name. Therefore, later generations used the number of emperors as the title of emperor, such as Emperor Yongle, Emperor Yongzheng, etc.

If the old emperor dies in the middle of the year, the successor still uses the current year number and changes the era after the New Year.

This was originally a system used by Chen Ke’s original timeline motherland in ancient times, but it was learned by neighboring countries such as Japan and South Korea.

Showa Peace Heisei was the year name of the reign of the two emperors of Japan. It started in 1926 and ended in 1989. During this period, Japan experienced World War II, which brought suffering to its neighboring countries and also made itself bear the price.

After the war, facing the homeland that was like ruins, the Japanese began to work desperately. Under various historical opportunities, Japan's economic development since 1985 was like a rocket, and the land price in Tokyo was able to buy the entire United States for a time.

This is the so-called Japanese bubble economy period. The Japanese in that era were full of vitality and luxury. The loose economic environment made everyone full of confusion about the future. This is also the origin of the so-called "Showa Man".

After 1989, the Emperor was exterminated and Japan changed its lunar name to Heisei. From this year on, the bubble economy reached its peak and suddenly fell. Until February 1991, Japan's economic growth suddenly stopped directly, and then began to show a major regression.

Many people's lives were broken, and the way real estate prices collapsed. During the bubble period, office workers who bought houses with high-priced loans collapsed overnight and had to continue to repay their loans when their wages dropped sharply or even unemployed. Many small companies and large conglomerates who were addicted to buying houses also went bankrupt due to the breakdown of their capital chains and the collapse of their stock prices.

House prices during the bubble period were completely incomparable to those after the 1990s. Even if the people who bought houses sold all their properties, they were unable to repay 10% of the loan that year...

From the 1990s to 2000, Japan's economy has been in a state of stagnation, the social class has been deeply solidified, the market has no vitality, and young people have no aura and dreams. They are addicted to the second-dimensional culture all day long, and are scrambling to die with their dead wages.

Because no matter how hard you work, the future will not change, so hard work becomes meaningless. It is better to make yourself happier, and this is also the origin of the so-called "Heisei waste".

In the third year of Heisei, that is, it is now 1991, and Chen Ke was actually dragged 18 years ago...

Judging from the surrounding situation, the Sunrise in 1991 may be worse than that in Japan. After all, Japan was still at the end of the bubble economy in 1991. In 1991, there were already large areas of unfinished buildings and closed shopping malls on the streets of Shinjuku. It can be seen that the economic regression has arrived earlier than expected.

This woman brought herself 18 years ago, for sure, and she seemed to have no intention of harming others, so Chen Ke followed the woman all the way through the streets.

After walking for a long time, with the support of unlimited physical strength, Chen Ke actually stood again at the entrance of Tianxia Yifan Street, Kamuromachi.

It suddenly drizzled in the sky. Pedestrians on the street picked up newspapers and bags to cover their heads and hurriedly hide from the rain. Chen Ke followed the white kimono woman all the way to the low abandoned building complex that was supposed to be the Millennium Tower.

The woman's figure hid into the dark alley. Chen Ke looked at the situation on the street and felt that no one should pay attention to him, so he bent over and crawled in.

The alleys of these buildings are dark, and the distance between the walls on both sides is very close. When you walk deeper, you have to sideways. The antennas on your head are entangled, turning the sky into a thin white line.
