Chapter 1 Time Pause
My name is Zhang Yanhang. I have a slight difficulty in choosing. I am an ordinary awakened person. I work as a part-time college student. I live a monotonous life of three points and one line every day. I go to school, practice, and go home. I neither smoke nor drink. , whose only hobby is observing humans while time is suspended.
As a working college student, I thought that my future life would be a peaceful and normal transition to graduation, then to find a job, and then to get married and have children, or even have a second child in middle age, etc. Although life is ordinary, it is also within reason.
But what I never expected was that about half a year ago, the empire suddenly publicly announced that the world had once again ushered in the recovery of spiritual energy. Yes, it was again. From this statement of the empire, I can clearly understand that the recovery of spiritual energy should be a repetitive periodic movement.
At the same time, with the revival of spiritual energy, a large number of awakened people who have awakened abilities began to be born in the world. According to the survey data released in the later period of the empire, one awakened person will be born in almost every thousand people on average. The probability can be said It is quite high.
Taking Qindao City where Zhang Yanhang lives now as an example, there are a total of more than 20 million permanent residents and floating population, which means that there will be more than 20,000 awakened people born.
However, Zhang Yanhang did not awaken the ability immediately, but only awakened the ability about a month ago.
…………
September 30, 2020, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and the National Day holiday, at noon, 12:10.
Zhang Yanhang, who had finished his one-day course, was walking home alone. Although he would have eight days off, he didn't feel the slightest emotional ups and downs in his heart, because there was no such thing as a holiday for him. What's the point? After all, he doesn't have a girlfriend, doesn't like to travel, and has very few friends, so taking a vacation is nothing more than fixing the practice place at home.
Although saying this makes people feel very pitiful, Zhang Yanhang himself doesn't really care about it, because he is relatively satisfied with his current life.
When Zhang Yanhang walked to a crossroads, he suddenly felt a rather obvious sense of damping around his body, as if he had suddenly fallen from flat ground into the ocean, and the surrounding air began to flow towards his body like water. The pressure was exerted, of course, this kind of pressure is actually quite slight, it just floats on the surface of the body, and it will not cause any real harm to Zhang Yanhang.
Accompanied by bursts of pressure from the air, several unusually conspicuous text boxes suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Yanhang's eyes.
【Do you want to turn left directly and return to Xingfuli Community? 】
[Option 1: Turn left (while the traffic signal is showing a green light, turn left and walk through the zebra crossing and then walk on the correct road. If you step into the gate of Xingfuli Community before 12:30 noon, you will pick up a costume at the entrance of the corridor. A wallet with 500 yuan in cash and relevant ID documents.)]
[Option 2: Turn right (Ignore the green light shown by the traffic lights and turn right directly, then go straight for fifteen meters, you will encounter a red apricot plant out of the wall, pick this red apricot out of the wall Take the spirit fruit and take it, you will get the strengthening effect of defense and physical fitness.)]
[Option 3: Go straight (wait at the same place until the traffic light turns from red to green, then walk straight across the road and walk to the second public seat on the side of the road, and strike up a conversation with the female college student sitting on it who is picking her feet. After being photographed by the gopro camera placed next to it and uploaded to the short video software, you will inexplicably become popular and become a small Internet celebrity with more than 100,000 fans.)]
Zhang Yanhang did not immediately pay attention to these strange text boxes. He looked up at the sky. Although it is autumn, it is noon after all, so even if it is not as good as summer,
But the original sun should also hang high in the sky, continuously releasing vicious and dazzling sunlight.
But when Zhang Yanhang looked directly at the sun, he didn't feel any discomfort at all. The sun, which was supposed to emit infinite brilliance, was now fixed in the sky like a hyper-realistic oil painting, motionless.
Zhang Yanhang looked around and saw that the noisy and noisy intersection was now completely silent, whether it was pedestrians crossing the road or cars driving on the road, they all fell into a strange static state.
Snapped! Zhang Yanhang bent down and stretched out his right hand to pick up a black-flowered mosquito that had already flown to his leg. The moment he picked it up, there was a crisp sound around him, as if something brittle It's like the object is broken.
After picking up the black-flowered mosquito, Zhang Yanhang brought it closer to his eyes and carefully observed its sexual characteristics. There are fewer antennae and fluff, and at the same time, there is not only a fat but also a forked ovipositor on the tail. If there is no accident , This should be a female black flower mosquito (scientific name Aedes albopictus), that is to say, this mosquito will suck human blood.
After confirming that it was a mosquito that was about to bite him, Zhang Yanhang, who was in a complicated mood, flicked his fingers and threw it into the surrounding air, but the female Aedes albopictus did not fly far. It froze in the air again.
That's right, this is the ability that Zhang Yanhang awakened, time pause, no, in other words, time pause is just an incidental function, the official name of the ability he awakened is [Multiple Choices], as for the specific function of this ability , which is exactly the same as the literal meaning, it simply allows him to make various choices.
The current time pause is a side effect, giving Zhang Yanhang time to think carefully about which option to choose. It may not matter to others, but for Zhang Yanhang who has a slight difficulty in choosing That being said, this time-out is really nice.
Of course, the duration of the time pause is not endless. Zhang Yanhang has roughly tested it before, and it can only last for about an hour at most. He has to make a choice. The time pause effect of your own choice will disappear directly.
When he first awakened this ability, Zhang Yanhang felt that he was invincible, but he soon discovered that in the time-suspended state, he could not cause any damage to the surrounding things, and at the same time, the surrounding things could not cause any damage to himself. Hurt, the two seem to be isolated by something, which is why he just bounced off the mosquito before instead of directly crushing it to death.
