Chapter 1712: Rabbit Dead and Fox Sad

Zhang Zian's mind is now in a semi-chaotic state. The work in the store is done by the conditioned reflex of the body. The whole person seems to be in a state of distraction, and he doesn't pay attention to the person standing at the door. He was sure that it wasn't the clerk who knocked on the door, because if the clerks came to the store, their first choice would be to go through the windows on the second floor, and they didn't know when he would open the door.

Hearing this familiar clear voice, a certain nerve in his mind jumped, and only then did he bring part of his attention back to reality.

The rolling shutter door was gradually raised, and his eyes fell on her lap at first, and he couldn't help being startled.

The sewage has just receded to the level of the steps at the door. The height is at least below the ankles of adults, and some low-lying areas are below the calves. Like Wang Qian and Li Kun, they all waded into the water wearing shorts and sandals just now.

It was too early, and most of the enterprises and institutions were on holiday today. The streets were empty and there were few people. Occasionally, one or two high-riding off-road vehicles drove past, stirring up the accumulated water in the street. It would be bad luck if someone happened to walk by.

The girl standing on the steps did not wear barefoot sandals like Wang Qian and Li Kun, but wore knee socks and leather shoes. The problem is... her socks and shoes were all dry, without any water stains.

Even if she came here by car, it's unlikely that she would drive the car up the curb and then drive all the way to the door of the store, right? Which family's eldest lady would be treated like this?

Besides he didn't see the car.

Of course, it would make sense if the car stopped at the door, put her down, drove away, and then she knocked on the door, but how could she be sure that he would open the door so early? If he didn't open the door, wouldn't she just stand on the steps forever, unable to go anywhere?

As the rolling shutter door was pulled up, he saw her clothes, which were a sailor suit of unknown texture, and it was also water-resistant. You must know that the sky is not clear yet, and occasionally there will be a few drops of rain.

Seeing this sailor suit, he immediately thought of the junior high school girl who owed him money in the Wuyin teahouse. At that time, she disappeared inexplicably, which puzzled him, Laocha and Fala, but later they couldn't find her. , can only let it go.

He blurted out, "Come to pay back the money?"

"Pfft ha ha ha ha! It's impossible to pay back the money. If the money is in my pocket, I don't want to get it out again!" She laughed so hard that she bent over.

The rolling shutter door was fully raised, and he also saw her face, and was startled again.

"What's wrong? I didn't wipe off the mud on my face?" She rubbed her cheek with the back of her hand.

It's not good to keep staring at the young girl's face. Zhang Zian glanced away, then looked away, and said, "How should I say... You look familiar, as if I've seen you before."

"Pfft! Didn't you see it in Wuyin Teahouse?" She laughed.

He corrected: "I didn't mean that..."

"Is that the one who passed by before?" She said again.

He pondered for a while: "Well..."

He didn't see her face in the Wuyin Tea House, it was the first time he saw her face today, and the familiarity he said didn't mean the familiarity of having met once, but... how should I put it, like Did he see the shadow of another person from her?

Neighbors in the neighborhood with children go out for a walk, and when they meet other neighbors, they often exchange a few words, such as: "Hey, this is your son, this nose and mouth really look like you!"

There may be some elements of politeness in it, but it will not be completely nonsense, it just feels like this.

Her facial features or face shape resembled someone he knew, but he couldn't remember the specific facial features and who she looked like for a while.

So maybe he knew her elders.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. You said you are here to help... you are here to work? You are not yet of age, right?" Zhang Zian changed the subject and didn't get too entangled in the issue of appearance, anyway, it doesn't make any sense.

Because Jiang Feifei intends to go to San Francisco to learn the daily work of the aquarium and strive for an internship opportunity for a period of time, so Zhang Zian considered that the store's manpower is a bit tight, so he posted information on the recruitment of migrant workers on the Internet, and he has also received some calls in the past few days and application, but haven't found a satisfactory one yet.

He thought she was also here to apply for a part-time job.

She straightened her face and gritted her teeth and said: "It is impossible to work part-time. When it comes to part-time work, I get angry. I used to help out in the shop at home. I did the same job as the shop assistants. The shop assistants can buy whatever they want when they get paid." Just buy anything, but I can only get a new set of tutorial questions as a reward, I really want to strangle him..."

"Then you're out of luck..." Zhang Zian felt sympathetic to her, "But you're not here to work, so what are you here for? Our store is closed for business today."

"Like I said, I'm here to help~ By the way, where is Xinghai?"

Without waiting for his invitation, she walked into the store on her own.

Zhang Zian was taken aback again, before he even had time to stop her - how did she know Xinghai? Those who knew Xinghai's name were all shop assistants or acquaintances in the shop, and he had never seen her before.

At this time, Xinghai happily ran out from the depths of the store, "Meow~"

"Oh! The sea of ​​stars is held high!"

She picked up Xinghai very naturally, raised it above her head, and spun around in circles.

Fuck?

Zhang Zian was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He wasn't even so shocked when the elves disappeared collectively.

You know, after a year of arduous efforts, he finally managed to make Xinghai no longer afraid, and even caressed it carefully on rare occasions, but this junior high school student who had never met him so easily put Xinghai picked up?

What shocked him the most was that Xinghai was held by her hand, showing no sign of fear at all, but very happy, as if he was very familiar with her hug.

"Wait...wait...wait a minute! How can you hold Xinghai?" He stammered and asked, his brain was burning out.

She tilted her head pretending to be puzzled, "Why can't I hug it? After all, I'm also its owner."

"Huh? You are its owner?"

Zhang Zian couldn't describe his mood at this time, and the sky was falling and the earth was falling.

"You are its owner...Schrödinger is actually a big loli?"

He was almost going crazy.

Could it be that I have unknowingly traveled to the Fusang two-dimensional world where everything is a mother? After King Arthur and other celebrities, even Schrödinger can't escape?

"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha ha! Where did you go?"

She laughed so hard, "Sure enough, it's just like what mom said, I really don't know how your brain circuit grows..."

Zhang Zian looked at her silly and kept laughing, his heart was already in a mess.

"Oh, forget it, my stomach hurts from laughing..." She managed to stop her laughter, "There's a call, don't you want to charge your phone?"

Zhang Zian raised his head subconsciously, the lights in the room were still dark, where did the call come from...

No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than the light came on.

Not only did the lights turn on, but the compressor of the refrigerator started to refrigerate with a humming motion, and the TV that was not turned off also automatically emitted sound.

I have a go?

His mind was even more confused.

what happened? She seemed to know that she was going to call before she called? No, no, maybe she saw the call notification issued by the municipal department somewhere.

But even if you see the incoming call notification, can you grasp the time so accurately?

Probably fooled, blind cats encounter dead mice, just like those magic sticks on the Internet who always like to predict the future, predict the future tens of thousands of times, always get it right once, and then happily dig out the post to show off.

A call means that there are a lot of things to do, but... as she reminded, his mobile phone has lasted for more than a day, and it is almost dead. It was not fully charged when the typhoon came yesterday.

After losing the "Pet Hunter" game, he once gave up on himself. He didn't know what the use of this phone was, and he wanted to smash it, but his reason told him that someone must call or send him a message in his life. Modern society I can't live without my mobile phone. Even if I smash it to vent my anger, I will have to buy a new one in a few days.

So, he found a charging cable to plug in the phone, put it aside and started charging.

The news was playing on the TV that was automatically turned on because of the incoming call, and when he heard the sound of the TV, he thought of old tea, and couldn't help feeling sad again.

He walked over and was about to turn off the TV, but he was attracted by the news that the host was broadcasting.

"...The sexual assault case in Minnesota continues to ferment, and the stock price plummets..."

"...Papa Ma resigned as the chairman of Papa Ali's board of directors. In the future, papa will still be your papa..."

"The new version of the fifth set of RMB will be issued soon..."

Seeing those once powerful faces flashing across the screen, but now a little too low-key or even desolate, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.

Forget it, his elf has also been recovered, everyone is just laughing at each other, it's not his turn to sympathize with them.

He turned off the TV and saw her running around with Xinghai between the shelves as if playing hide-and-seek. He didn't regard himself as an outsider, so he coughed and asked, "Who the hell are you? What are you here for?"

She stopped and pointed to her own face, "Didn't Xinghai tell you? I am the reinforcement you are waiting for."

"What?"

Zhang Zian had such a guess, but he vetoed it himself, because in his imagination, the so-called reinforcements should be adults who are full of aura and look bad at first glance, and they come on stage with their own BGM. No matter how you think about it, this little girl who is not yet an adult is unlikely to be a reinforcement who can help him solve the problem, right?

Although it is said that there is no ambition to grow old, and there is no ambition to live a hundred years, but in many cases, age is really not something that can be crossed casually.

He looked at Xinghai inquiringly, and the latter nodded vigorously, "Meow ~ she is the reinforcement~"

Zhang Zian: "..."

No matter how much he doesn't want to believe it, he can only go to the doctor in an emergency at this time.

He believed in Xinghai, but he didn't fully believe her, and asked suspiciously: "Then tell me, how can you help me? Can you help me find the elves?"

"That's why I came here." She said confidently: "First of all, your guess is correct, the game has not stopped running completely, the server... or something like that is still running normally, it's just that the man-machine is turned off The interactive interface is the app in your phone, so sprites that are not captured are not affected."

I don't know how many times Zhang Zian was stunned today. She actually knew the ideological struggle in his heart. Could it be that she can read minds?

"Then can you reinstall the app on your phone?" he asked.

She shook her head, "This won't work, the app is in self-destruct mode, and it's completely deleted."

The flame of hope that Zhang Zian had just ignited was almost extinguished in an instant.

"But..." She smiled strangely, "There is no need to reinstall the app, just change to another phone that has not deleted the app~"

Zhang Zian couldn't understand what she was talking about at all, not to mention that the apps in other players' phones had also been deleted, even if she got someone else's phone without the deleted app, he wouldn't be able to use it, it was protected by a fingerprint password of.

She put her palms to the edge of her collar.

Then, under his dumbfounded gaze, a fat, white worm wriggled out from under the large lapel of her sailor suit, which looked like Fuso's wicked snack worm gummy.

The bug crawled into her palm, glanced at him with two small black eyes, raised its head, and nodded up and down, as if to greet him.

These two eyeballs are absolutely black and do not reflect any light. The light shining in is like being absorbed by a black hole.

He also subconsciously raised his hand and waved at it, a little embarrassed, wondering if he might have misunderstood it.

It shook its head, and a strange scene appeared.

There was suddenly some kind of ripple in the clear air.

The scale of the ripples expanded rapidly, a strange distortion appeared in the space, and a translucent vortex appeared in front of her.

The vortex rotates slowly around the little bug. Standing in front of the vortex, you will feel that everything around you seems to be sucked in by the vortex, not even the light can escape.

The vortex is like a translucent mirror, which reflects something that does not belong to this world, it is dark, and there is a faint sound of wind and thunder.

"Let's go." She came over, grabbed his wrist naturally, and led him towards the whirlpool.

"Wait... wait a minute! What are you doing? Where are you going?"

He was terrified of the strange vortex, because it was so eerie that anyone seeing such a strange scene for the first time would be terrified.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a short trip, first time familiar and second time familiar." She felt troublesome, and instead pushed him hard from behind. When passing by the charger, she unplugged his mobile phone from the charging cable and handed it to him. .

"Here, don't forget to take your phone."

Zhang Zian turned his head to look at Xinghai as if asking for help, the latter held a front paw, "Meow~Come on~"

"Forget mother-in-law, Xinghai won't follow this time, anyway, he'll be back soon, and he doesn't have to worry about locking the door, no one will come to the store to steal things."

Regardless of her young age, she was quite strong, her wrist suddenly strengthened, and she was caught off guard and pushed him into the whirlpool.

Zhang Zian subconsciously covered his face with his hands.

The next moment, he fell into the vortex and disappeared from this world.
