Thanks for the hint, I just checked my system services noticed the ntp is not install on my system,
after set it up, everything is normal.

Note that certificate validation relies upon correct clock synchronisation, so without even looking into the details of what is going on with Guix, simply correcting your system clock time may in fact resolve your issue afterall.

Its timezone is also UTC+8, which indicates that you may have actually confused local time with system time when setting the time.  If you set your system time to UTC+8 and then on top of that your local time adds another 8 hours, at UTC+0=07:55, UTC+8+8=23:55.  That seems like a plausible explanation.

I have heard that this is a common problem for those who dual-boot with Microsoft Windows – at least it was in the days of XP.  I don't know whether it is still a common issue in newer versions, but if you have such a dual-boot and this keeps happening, that would be a good first place to investigate to try to fix the issue.

BTW, thanks for the answer. :)
