Zhao Chensi is a student in the History Department of Yandu University. He just turned twenty-one a while ago.
If someone asked Zhao Chensi why he chose the Department of History, which seemed to be an unpopular major, when he filled out his application form. Then Zhao Chensi will definitely let out a long sigh, his eyes become deep and vicissitudes of life, and then tell the other party:
On the one hand, he studies history to satisfy his strong personal curiosity about exploring the past. On the other hand, he hopes that by studying ancient history and interpreting ancient historical materials, he can correct the picture of ancient history that the public has unconsciously formed up to now. ——Of course, this is just a nice thing he said. In fact, he confused the history major and the archeology major at the beginning. By the time Zhao Chensi felt something was wrong and found out that he had chosen the wrong major, he was already in his sophomore year.
That day Zhao Chensi understood something.
He became an archaeologist and dug up ancient tombs all over the world. Then he found a jade watch, an ancient ring, a fossil egg, a bamboo slip, and a strange spell in the tomb. Finally, because he touched (read) them, he The dream of being able to travel to another world and start a big adventure was shattered.
Not to mention the fact that Zhao Chensi has to dig up archaeological remains and ancient tombs in his turn, because of his character and habit of wanting to touch everything he sees, even if there is an ancient site that needs rescue excavation. It is estimated that no one would dare to let him go in to participate in the rescue and excavation of ruins and ancient tombs.
Not to mention that his hobby is to study and experiment with so-called occultism and mysterious folklore, and try to verify whether those urban legends, supernatural beings, and folklore are really as evil and magical as people say.
From widespread urban legends such as Bloody Mary, the Four Corners Game, the game of placing a bowl of rice at the intersection to attract ghosts, the supernatural game of hide-and-seek with the stuffed bear in the middle of the night, the pen fairy and the dish fairy, to some unknown remote mysterious folk customs and ancient alchemy As long as his conditions allowed and he did not commit any illegal crimes, Zhao Chensi would try to restore the rituals of the art with the mentality of practicing to gain true knowledge.
To put it bluntly, he is the kind of person who is keen on committing suicide. Zhao Chensi has a very high degree of self-consciousness about this, and believes that if he really lives in that kind of horror movie world, then he must be the vanguard of the suicide group. .
But at this moment, Zhao Chensi, who was walking on the street with headphones on and fearful, felt that he might have just experienced an incredible event, at least something that he couldn't explain with his own knowledge.
The shock caused by being almost hit by a car has not subsided, and his heart, which was beating faster due to the fright, is still beating wildly.
What the hell did I just go through?
Such questions were swirling in Zhao Chensi's mind. He carefully searched for the remaining memories in his brain, trying to reconstruct the whole story by looking back at the memory nodes. However, he found that he could not recall the relevant details at all. memory.
Looking back carefully, he couldn't remember what he was thinking about when he was just playing with his mobile phone.
No, no, if the timeline is pushed forward a little, Zhao Chensi can't even remember when he walked to the sidewalk at the intersection. He can only vaguely remember that he was walking towards the sidewalk at the intersection. At that time, because there were no cars or telephone poles on the sidewalk, I lowered my head and played with my mobile phone...
Then when he came to his senses, he found that he was already standing on the sidewalk, being pulled by a man with a kind expression.
The time in between seemed to be erased out of thin air. Zhao Chensi felt as if he had lowered his head to play with his mobile phone that had not arrived for less than a minute. When he raised his head, he found that he almost ran a red light and walked onto the sidewalk... …
Is it because I bought a new mobile phone that I feel like time is passing by so fast? This conjecture suddenly flashed through Zhao Chensi's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.
Ever since he bought a new mobile phone half a year ago and abandoned his Nokia, which had been with him for almost eight years and had lost a layer of its casing and screen but was still usable, the smartphone brought Zhao Chensi into the door of a new world. In the past, only Only when he stays in bed for another five minutes or plays games and Civilization series on the computer can he experience the time travel effect of "one day at home and a thousand years outside". After he bought a new smartphone, he would It will happen: when you lower your head and then raise your head, a quarter of an hour or half an hour will pass inexplicably...
It seems that since then, his sense of time has started to deteriorate...
Thinking of this, Zhao Chensi suddenly felt a little shuddering. He had already taken out his phone to play for a while, but he stuffed the phone back into his trouser pocket with interest. Then he saw his friend standing by the station waving to him. Wanqi.
"Come on, come on! Stop waving! I'm not late this time! Let me tell you, I got here late this time!"
…………
As the crowds of people walked on the busy streets, Wu Ming seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but in fact he had been following the young man who had just been possessed by extraordinary power from a distance.
Using the reason that "individuals are affected by extraordinary powers of unknown origin", Wu Ming successfully obtained the Lucky Ancient God Office to observe the impact on his life trajectory. This young man is called Zhao Chensi. Through his personal incident records, Wu Ming discovered that he At least for the past six months, my life trajectory has been in an unstable state. I was often late for appointments due to the influence of extraordinary powers, and I even had a fight with my friends two days ago.
And based on the associated memories and character images that flashed through the petitioner's mind when praying, it was directly confirmed that Zhao Chensi, who had been affected by extraordinary power before, was Wu Ming's target in this mission.
It’s the king pigeon who let go of his friends’ pigeons countless times because he was playing on his cell phone…
And Wu Ming also discovered another problem - the influence of extraordinary power on Zhao Chensi is not a matter of a day or two. Judging from the abnormal change rate of the latter's life trajectory, he has been intermittently affected by extraordinary powers at least half a year ago. The influence of force.
What is even more puzzling is...
Since it was an influence of extraordinary power that existed half a year ago, why did the firm only begin to trace its origin today?
The Lucky Ancient God Office has a supernatural power monitoring system. Any abnormal fluctuations that will have a spreading impact on human society can be captured and traced back to their source for reverse positioning and rough positioning. Wu Ming can see this from the last detection of the phone oven (tentative) that can affect the flow of time. If Zhao Chensi has been continuously affected by extraordinary power since half a year ago, then the office should have discovered it long ago. Abnormalities should be traced back to the source...
With doubts in his heart, Wu Ming thought quietly, and only looked up from time to time to make sure that Zhao Chensi was still within his field of vision.
While maintaining a state of extraordinary perspective, Wu Ming could easily track the latter through the traces of extraordinary power remaining on Zhao Chensi's body.
In the dark and faded world, looking at everyone whose colors have faded and turned into silhouettes composed of black, white and gray, only Zhao Chensi has a ball of emerald green misty flames all over his body, like a blazing stick. Like a human-shaped torch, it brings some bright and rare colors to this faded and distorted world.
Not only is Zhao Chensi emitting green light, but even the path he walks will leave a series of footprints shining with green light.
Although Wu Ming was not sure why the extraordinary perspective marked Zhao Chensi's remaining traces in green, he guessed that this was probably related to some of the deeds that the latter had experienced in the past few years, but this marking undoubtedly facilitated his tracking, and at the same time This was also the reason why he dared to boldly increase the tracking distance and hang far behind, and even distracted himself while tracking.
"There may be something wrong with the mobile phone. Before he showed any abnormality, he had been staring at the mobile phone as if he had lost his soul. Even if he was forcibly pulled, he could not stop his behavior of staring at the mobile phone and moving forward mechanically. And the petitioner was also praying. I mentioned before that my friend is often late because he is addicted to playing with mobile phones... Well, just to be on the safe side, I will give this young man a cognitive modification to reduce the frequency of his mobile phone use today..."
Wu Ming glanced at the most beautiful green light in the crowd, made up his mind, called up the power of the cognitive modification module, and whispered, "Reduce the frequency of using your mobile phone today." 'The cognitive hint was thrown towards the green light.
Seeing that the extraordinary power was successfully integrated into the body of Zhao Chensi who met his friends, making the green light released from his body even stronger, Wu Ming nodded with satisfaction.
"This way everything will be foolproof..."
