The mystery of the Passage of Time

Liverpool is an old port city in the west of England. Bode Street is an old street in the west of the city. Because of its proximity to the port and its high commercial value, it has been renovated and renovated over the years. The streets are always bustling with people, and the residents are mostly businessmen, with ancestral food stores and handicraft stores everywhere.

One sunny noon, the call to Liverpool police went off. Someone on the phone was panicking: "Oh no, the Nazi planes are going to bomb Liverpool again!"

The operator thought it was a mental patient, but the caller was able to accurately describe where he was near 115 Bird Street, see how high the plane was off the ground, and see the word "Hell" on it.

Such a detailed description forced the police to rush a large number of troops to the scene. But the police saw nothing. The man was hiding in his garage with his head in his arms.

It turned out that the man was an amateur novelist. The Hell was a German bomber, but it was the flagship weapon of the German army during the Second World War. Why would it fly to Liverpool now that it was a historical souvenir?

Tim later interviewed nearby residents, who said they had not heard the plane rumble, so he ruled out the possibility of a private jet hoax and dismissed the report as an intermittent hallucination caused by writing.

But since then, there's been a flurry of strange reports about Bird Street.

One day, a foreign woman tourist complained of serious fraud at the women's supply store at 117 Bird Street. She ordered a pair of vintage shoes and an outfit, and they delivered some books.

Officer Tim's men went to 117 to investigate, and saw that it was a bookshop called "Stone".

The clerk told him that there had indeed been a foreign female tourist who had pointed to the window and asked for something because she did not speak the language and was in a hurry to leave, so they took her money and sent her books to her hotel.

To calm the woman's anger, the officer asked her to draw a pattern of the clothes and shoes she had seen. They looked around, but they could not find the object in the picture in all of Bird Street. "It's like 20th-century clothes," said a female police officer who knows a lot about clothes.

Later, an elderly local man went to a post office to post a letter and found himself standing in front of a theater with a Beatles poster on the wall.

The old man called the police: "I have been walking this road for more than half a century, how can I still get lost? Some of the guys on the posters look exactly like the Beatles when I was young."

Others had even stranger experiences. They said they felt strange walking past the post office. People dressed strangely in the street and refused to say hello to them. "Making a movie without making a statement seriously interferes with citizens' lives."

The complaints and alarms were so trivial that the police did not pay much attention to them, and after a while, no one reported any more abnormalities on Bird Street.

Two more years passed quickly.

One DAY Mr. John, A Liverpool CITY COUNCILLOR, SUDDENLY RANG UP AN AIR LIEUTENANT AND SHOUTED ANGRILY: "WHERE'S THE AIR RADAR? Nazi BOMBERS ARE FLYING OVER OUR HEADS!"

John was a three-term senator, and his words were not to be taken lightly, so the police and the military went up to investigate, but nothing was seen.

Senator John had to face a judicial inquiry into misreporting.

No one in the Air Force believed John, but Officer Tim kind of did. He had seen the word "Hell" on the plane, just like the novelist who had reported it a year earlier. It was unlikely that two people who didn't know each other would have had the same hallucinations, and neither had a history of mental illness.

Tim began to watch and collect people and things related to Bird Street. He found that many strange things had happened since August, and they had been reported again this year.

So as not to cause panic, Officer Tim began patrolling Bird Street in his clothes.

One noon, when the hot sun made people drowsy, Tim was walking near the post office to go back to rest when he saw some strange people coming up ahead. The men were wearing top hats and the women were wearing long skirts. Who would wrap themselves up so tightly on such a hot day? Tim remembered complaints about people making unapproved period films and went up to him and asked, "Are you, actors?"

There was no answer, and a man in a top hat who came up to him drifted away as if he had not seen him.

Tim thought he had met a ghost, and without a second thought, he started running. He didn't stop until everything looked right.

After calming down, he put together a series of recent strange events and reported to the Royal Scientific Committee, believing that there is a mysterious force in the Bird Street area, that can take people out of the real world, back to the past to bring hallucinations. Ask them to investigate.

The British scientific authorities took a keen interest in this matter, and they sent their personnel to Bird Street to survey the citizens. The results of the survey surprised them, and more than 100 people reported that they had been taken away from reality.
