Shen Xixi was sitting alone by the window reading a book. The sunlight shone on the side of her face, making the boys beside her unable to concentrate at all.
Zhang Heng stepped a little harder. Shen Xixi looked up and saw someone waving to her.
Shen Xixi put down the book in his hand and smiled. It was necessary to keep quiet in the library and no talking was allowed, so the two did not chat much.
Zhang Heng had already borrowed the grammar book he wanted. After saying hello, he was about to leave. Before leaving, his eyes accidentally glanced at the book that was half shared by Shen Xixi in her hand and found that the title of the book was actually " Criminal Psychoanalysis".
Of course, as someone who has even read "Bill of Quantities Valuation for Water Supply, Drainage, Heating, and Gas Engineering", I don't seem to be qualified to question other people's reading choices.
But considering Shen Xixi's amazing observation and reasoning abilities, Zhang Heng had to admit that this girl's hobbies may be a bit unique. Could it be that she plans to enter the criminal investigation system after graduation?
But she is currently studying public administration.
Zhang Heng had no intention of interfering in other people's life choices, not to mention that he and Shen Xixi were not very familiar with each other in the first place. When he found out that Shen Xixi was particularly interested in criminal investigation, he was only slightly surprised, and then he found another floor to start reviewing grammar. Knowledge.
Zhang Heng stayed in the library until closing time before packing up and leaving. In the meantime, he only went to the cafeteria for dinner.
He didn't take the grammar book away and put it directly back on the bookshelf. He would be back in an hour anyway.
After returning to the dormitory to wash his face and brush his teeth, Zhang Heng checked his mailbox and found a new email in it, which was from the photography club, informing him that his work had been shortlisted for the last city impression-themed photography competition, and would then enter the judges' selection process. It is expected that The results will be announced in a week.
There have been so many things going on recently that Zhang Heng almost forgot about this incident. He participated in the photography competition just to test his learning results during this period. Being able to enter the semi-finals has met his expectations. As for the bonuses and prizes, it is of course more important. Well, don’t force him if you can’t get it.
Zhang Heng used his mobile phone to browse forums and forums for a while. The time soon came to midnight and everything around him became quiet. He got dressed and planned to go to the library first and then read for a while. Unexpectedly, the next moment his mobile phone But I received a text message.
This is an unfamiliar number with only one sentence without beginning or end.
——I need your help to meet at the place where we first met.
This was the first time that Zhang Heng received a text message from someone else in still time. For countless nights, he was the only person who could move freely in this silent city. However, soon a message appeared in Zhang Heng's mind. A figure wearing a Tang suit, hat and tie.
The supernatural phenomena that are happening to him now are all related to that strange old man. If anyone can enter this world, the first thing Zhang Heng thinks of is that guy.
Judging from this text message, the other party may have encountered some trouble.
Zhang Heng changed into sportswear, first went to the archery hall to take out his SF recurve bow, and then spent money to buy an outdoor knife from the outdoor supplies store next door and hid it in his waist.
After doing all this, he rode the little yellow car to the maid cafe where the two met before.
The door of the shopping mall was uncharacteristically unlocked and was half-open. There was still light coming from inside. Zhang Heng took off the recurve bow on his back, put on the bow and arrow, and walked in carefully.
"I like the milk tea shop on the second floor very much, but every time I come here, there are a lot of people queuing up. It's rare that there is no one here now, but no one makes milk tea for me. Maybe this is life, it's hard to find the best of both worlds. Choice." The old man in Tang suit sighed.
He was sitting on the stationary elevator on the first floor of the shopping mall. He was dressed almost the same as when they first met two months ago, but he had replaced the top hat with a baseball cap, which still looked nondescript.
In addition, he also held a pack of mu beans in his hand, which he tore open and swallowed half of the pack in one breath.
Zhang Heng put down the bow and arrow in his hand, frowned and said, "With all due respect, you don't look like you need help right now."
"Believe me, I value the privacy of your life more than any employer you can find after graduation. If something big had not happened, I would not come to you." The old man in Tang suit said while chewing mu beans.
"event?"
"Let's talk about this matter on the road. We don't have much time." The old man in Tang suit poured the remaining half pack of m-beans into his mouth, then patted his butt and stood up, "Let me ask you a question first. It should have been two rounds of the game now, what skills have you got?"
"Wild survival, archery and car driving." Zhang Heng reported his lv2 skills.
"A good start. You will need them soon. Now, let's find the mount. Sorry, old wording habits are always difficult to change. Go get the car." The old man threw a Take the car keys. "The black Audi A6 is in parking space B34 on the first floor. I promise, I will tell you everything in the car."
Zhang Heng took the elevator down to the parking lot at the bottom of the building and quickly found the car the old man was talking about. However, he opened the glove box and found that the driver's license book inside contained a fat man named Wang Jianguo. This obviously could not be the name of the old man in Tang suit. , looking at the photo, the age difference between the two parties is at least 20 years.
The latter was waiting at the entrance of the shopping mall, holding a broken travel bag. Like a lonely old man who had run away from a nursing home, he opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
"Don't worry about such small details. In those game worlds, you should have done some things that you wouldn't do in the real world. Considering the enemies we have to face, you won't let me ride a shared bicycle to fight. Bar."
"What enemy?" Zhang Heng said.
"There is a tribe called Alkozi in Papua New Guinea. Their ancestors went there very early and fought several battles with the Huli tribe, the overlord of the island at that time. Both sides won each other, although those Alkozi The human warriors are very brave and can equal ten to one, but as the war continues, their problem of insufficient population is still exposed. Compared with the Huli people, the population of Alkoz is only one-twentieth of the former. This consumption continues They must be the ones who perished, so the Alkozians prayed to a monster called Morespi.
"They sacrificed the old, weak, sick and disabled members of the tribe to Morespi, and in return the monster matured the babies in the Alkoz tribe into young men in just a few months, allowing them to Groups of warriors could be obtained quickly, but fortunately, the tribe was eventually wiped out by Huli, and the totems and altars related to Morespi were destroyed. Normally, this tribe The monster is equivalent to being eliminated.
"But, by the way, I hate to say this word, but... Morespi itself is a monster with time attributes. It is difficult to be truly destroyed. It used some method to seal itself in at the last moment. For a short period of time, it escaped the fate of death. Of course, in a sense, you can also think that it has died, because more than 20,000 years have passed and it cannot escape at all. It can only survive in that short period of time. Hanging on until... well, this equilibrium is broken." The old man suddenly closed his mouth when he said this, and his eyes fell on Zhang Heng, who was driving in front.
Zhang Heng felt an ominous premonition in his heart, "Are you kidding me?"
The old man in Tang suit sighed, "Unfortunately, when I gave you a small gift, I accidentally broke the balance of time and allowed this monster to escape again."
