Chapter 3 The Still World

Zhang Heng pushed open the door of the dormitory, and the corridor was quiet, a bit like a morgue in a hospital, with only the sound of his footsteps.

The door of the opposite dormitory was not closed, and there was bright light inside. Zhang Heng put his head in and looked around, and saw four people who were engrossed in playing on the computer.

On the screen, their characters were chasing Annie who was in blood in the tower, and the skills they issued hovered in the air, and the excited expressions on their faces also frozen at that moment, like four lifelike sculptures.

Zhang Heng noticed that the alarm clock at one of them's desk was also at 00:00.

Then he visited several other dormitories on this floor.

Some of them locked the door before going to bed and could not get in, but the dormitories that could be entered were all stopped at the last moment of the day without exception.

Someone in the washroom was secretly smoking a cigarette without the knowledge of the hostess. The sparks on the cigarette end were clearly visible, but they would not spread down, and the exhaled smoke was frozen on the lips.

Zhang Heng couldn't help but took out his mobile phone and took a picture of this magical scene.

When he pressed the shutter, he discovered another interesting thing.

In this world where time is stagnant, not only everyone has been pressed the pause button, but those things are also kept in the state of the last second.

Like the half-flying skill on the screen before, the static electric fan, and now this cigarette butt that never burns out.

However, there are exceptions to this.

In order to verify the conjecture in his heart, Zhang Heng pulled the cigarette out of the other's fingers.

As a result, when the cigarette butt was thrown into his hands, it continued to burn again.

Is that really the case?

In this time when only he can move, things will return to normal as soon as they reach him. Now this cigarette, as well as the mobile phone, computer and mp3 that were working normally before, but the time displayed on it still does not change.

Moreover, his normal function of touching someone seems to have no effect on people. He pushed Chen Huadong in the dormitory for so long before, but the latter did not respond.

What about other living creatures besides humans?

Zhang Heng became interested, walked back to the dormitory, turned his mobile phone into flashlight mode, and got close to a few roommates. After two minutes, he successfully found his target in the dark with 20 million soft-light dual cameras.

This is the most common and annoying animal around most people in summer - mosquitoes.

As long as one sneaks into the room, basically no one will be at peace for one night.

Zhang Heng's dormitory is on the third floor, which is relatively low. Mosquitoes at this height don't need to take the elevator, they just check in with their bags. Therefore, everyone has a variety of anti-mosquito methods, some mosquito coils, and mosquito repellent toilet water. There are also mosquito nets, but there are still often fish that slip through the net.

Now this mosquito is lurking next to the pillow of the head of the dormitory, Wei Jiangyang, waiting to find a chance to have a feast.

It's a pity that its sweet dream is doomed to come to nothing tonight.

Zhang Heng stretched out his hand, gently pinched one of the mosquito's wings, grabbed it from the air, and placed it in his palm.

As a result, the latter still kept his arms fluttering, like a most dedicated actor, turning a blind eye to the fresh prey that came to his lips.

"It looks like animals can't do it either."

At the end of the experiment, Zhang Heng smashed it smoothly and achieved the achievement of eliminating harm for the people.

Well, the dormitory building has almost been explored, so it's time to go out and have a look.

Using the faucet in the bathroom to destroy the corpse, Zhang Heng went down to the first floor.

The dormitory aunt on duty was standing at the door with a large U-shaped lock in her hand, probably preparing to lock the door.

This kind of thing is also a characteristic of colleges and universities, but there are big differences in dormitory management in different universities.

Like Zhang Heng and his school, although there is a rule that the door is locked at twelve o'clock, if there is something wrong, you can wake up the auntie on duty by shooting the window, and you can go back to bed after registration, but if you do this often, you will be punished. critical.

Zhang Heng walked in front of the dormitory aunt with a calm expression. If it was usual, the latter would definitely stop him and ask classmates where you are going so late.

But now she seems to have the ability to see through suddenly. The focus of her eyes passes through Zhang Heng's body and focuses on the doorknob, as if she didn't notice a big living person just passed in front of her.

So Zhang Heng walked out of the dormitory so unhurriedly, looked up at the night sky above his head, walked through the empty campus, and finally came to the school gate.

It's quite lively here.

Zhang Heng's school is not large, but it is in a good location. It is located on the edge of the Third Ring Road and is directly opposite a road. The nights in the big cities are always extraordinarily long.

The pancake stand on the overpass is booming. There are many white-collar workers who have just left the office building at this point. They are hungry and need a late-night snack to replenish energy on their way home. The sanitation workers not far away are silently cleaning with their brooms. On the sidewalk, two bald uncles in suits and leather shoes under the platform were waiting for the late night bus while holding their mobile phones. Behind them, a girl in a 24-hour convenience store with a bear card issued a long slap in front of the cashier. yawn……

And at 00:00, they are all time-fixed by coincidence.

It's like a movie scene with the pause button pressed.

All the cars on the road came to a standstill at this moment.

Zhang Heng went to pick up friends at the station once before, and he had seen the city in the middle of the night.

But it was the first time to see it so close.

He can see the chopped green onion sprinkled by the pancake brother, the calluses and dark faces on the hands of the sanitation workers, the greasy nose bridge of the bald uncle and the picture of the full moon daughter on the phone screen, and the girl with the bear card is secretly hiding in the cashier. Star stickers under the plane...

All these details that are ignored in daily life are all displayed in front of Zhang Heng at this moment.

It was as if he had known the city all over again.

Zhang Heng used WeChat to drive a Mobike and rode it around the city with great interest.

By the way, continue to test your conjecture.

When the hour hand on the starfish was about to complete the second lap, he rushed back to the dormitory before the dorm aunt locked the door.

Also at 00:00, this time Zhang Heng did not wear headphones.

In the next second, all the sounds poured into my ears like a tide.

"Pretty, this head is mine!!! The Infinity Blade is finally out!"

"The speed pushes the tower, they dare not go up there."

"No, I have to go home and get some blood first!"

…………

The electric fan on the door squeaked and swayed his head, and there was the sound of a wild cat screaming from outside the window. Someone kicked and pulled his slippers and ran down the corridor. Zhang Heng, who had not slept for more than a day, was also flooded with tiredness and was about to run out of electricity. After his mobile phone was plugged in, he threw himself onto the bed as fast as he could and entered Mengxiang.
