Anti-Routine Walkers of Multi-Universe

The fluorescent hum of the law firm still echoed in Ma Teng’s ears as he walked the familiar path home. His mind, usually sharp with legal intricacies, drifted, already anticipating the quiet solitude of his rental apartment. But a snippet of conversation, overheard from a passing couple, snagged his attention, pulling him abruptly from his thoughts.
“Hey, walk slowly, there’s still an hour before the release of 'The Legend of Monkey King'.”
“Let’s go shopping first, an hour will pass quickly.”
'The Legend of Monkey King'? Ma Teng’s eyes lit up. Of course! He'd been so consumed with a recent case that he'd missed the buzz. A quick check on his phone confirmed it had been out for days. He immediately booked a ticket for the nearest cinema, a sudden surge of anticipation cutting through his fatigue. He’d always loved the novel, especially the rebellious Monkey King. He wondered how the movie would capture that spirit.
