Mr Li found it difficult to believe that the cheerleader had been murdered. It all started in a school in the year 2065. The school’s most beloved cheerleader was found murdered in the school field. No one imagined that she would be killed, she seemed to be loving, caring and very intelligent, but what many didn’t know was that she had a secret. She had a computer programmer helping her, he helped her cheat. Slowly this drove the programmer crazy, and he could no longer keep the secret. He tried to stop her and get her to confess but she refused. This created a rivalry between the two. Teachers and students be can to see tention in the hall, as the cheerleader slowly became disliked. Teachers soon realized that her grades were dropping, causing them to go to the principal for help. The principal tried to get involved but it only seemed to make the matters worse. The cheerleader began to get more aggressive, and all the friends she once had started to turn on her.

Three days after the programmer had confronted the cheerleader, she was murdered. The field’s grass was tinted red right where her body laid. Police had appeared in the school and took on this case. After hours of investigation, the police concluded that she committed suicide. Yet Mr. Li does not think this is the case. Thinking back about the past year, the cheerleader never seems to have any suicidal thoughts. She was, or she is, an optimistic person and is always there for others. Her importance to everyone around her seems to be so great. “There is no way that she suicided”, Mr. Li asserts, “I must take on the investigation myself and to uncover the truth”.

After determining his mind, many thoughts had occurred to him. He read the autopsy report: “Victim has multiple head injuries and bruises all over herself. The head injury is the cause of death. Time of death: 5:40am 07/15/2065” “hmmm that’s not right…” Mr. Li murmurs to himself. “If she ended her own life, how is it possible that these head injuries are the cause of her death? Especially when her body lies in the open-ended field? There must be something else behind this.” After forming this conclusion, Mr. Li decides to travel back in time for further investigation.

Returning to his room, Mr. Li takes out the trial time machine he had been working on. Knowing that this time machine may not be work properly, he still believes that it is still worth a try. He walks into his secret room filled with his own inventions ranging from a radioactivity sensors to robots that are designed for housework. His accomplishments, this secret collection of items are amazing, yet people have not came to realize his patter since, neither had himself discovered his own inborn ability of art and creation. He yet come to realized that he is a genius. The time machine was one of the inventions that he had spent the most amount of time working on it. It is built with complex tools, complex circuits and complex operations. It was also the only one that he wasn’t certain about. Mr. Li turns on the switch for the time machine, as he enters serial codes and few passwords for confirmation. He enters the date : 07/15/2065 and the time 5:40 am.

ZZZHHHHHiISHSHhhhh… CAHNG SING BANG.. ziiiiz ziiizz…. Li opened his eyes, he was standing in the same room that he was just in… Damn it, it didn’t work, he thought to himself. He looked at the clock on the wall only to reconsider his previous thought, it DID work. Li snached up his jacket and his car keys and was already out of the room when he rememberd that he had set the time to the wrong time. 5:40 am would not be enough to see the cause of death, the cheerleader would already be dead by then. He made a point to go back to his office only to discover that all the lights of the machine were glowing again. ZZZHHHHHiISHSHhhhh… CAHNG SING BANG.. ziiiiz ziiizz…. and out came…. ANOTHER LI yet much much older. “Who are you and what are you doing?” Li asked. “I’m stopping you from doing what you are about to do…,” replied the other Li, “if you go into that time machine and try to save the girl, you will be discovered at the scene and they will think it was you!”
