48 Hours a Day

Chapter 3: static world

Views:

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

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

On the screen, their characters were chasing a bloody Anne across the tower, and the skills they issued hovered in the air, and the excited expressions on their faces froze at that moment, like four lifelike sculptures.

Zhang Heng noticed the alarm clock on one of the desks, and the time on it was also 00:00.

Then he visited several other dormitories on this floor.

Some of them locked their doors before going to bed and couldn't get in, but the dormitories that could get in were all stopped at the last moment of the day without exception.

Someone in the washroom was secretly smoking without telling the dorm aunt. The sparks on the cigarette butts were clearly visible, but they did not spread downward, and the exhaled smoke was frozen around the mouth.

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

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

In this time-stopped world, not only is the pause button pressed for everyone, but those things are also kept at the last second.

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

However, there are exceptions to this.

In order to test the conjecture in his heart, Zhang Heng pulled the cigarette out from between the opponent's fingers.

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

Is that really the case

During this time when only he can be active, things will return to normal as soon as they are in his hands. 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.

And his normal function of touching someone seems to have no effect on people. He pushed Chen Huadong in the dormitory for so long before, and the latter didn't respond either.

What about other living creatures besides humans

Interested, Zhang Heng walked back to the dormitory, switched his phone to flashlight mode, and got close to a few roommates. Two minutes later, 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 able to think about peace for a 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 carry their bags and move in. Therefore, everyone has various ways to prevent mosquitoes, such as mosquito coils, and mosquito repellent toilet water. There are also mosquito nets, but there are still fish that slip through the net.

Now this mosquito is lurking beside the pillow of the head of the dormitory, Wei Jiangyang, waiting for an opportunity to go up and have a feast.

It's a pity that its sweet dream is destined 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 put it in his palm.

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

"It seems that animals can't do it either."

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

Well, the dormitory has been explored almost, 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 big U-shaped lock in her hand, probably about to lock the door.

This kind of thing can be regarded as a characteristic of colleges and universities, but different universities have very different dormitory management.

Like Zhang Heng and his school, although there is a rule of locking the door at 12 o'clock, if you really have to come back late for something, you can knock on the window to wake up the aunt on duty, and you can go back to bed after registering, but if you do this often, you will be punished critical.

Zhang Heng walked past the dormitory aunt with a calm expression. If it was normal, the latter would definitely stop him and ask the classmate where you are going so late.

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

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

It's a lot of fun here.

Zhang Heng's school is not big, but the location is good. It is located on the edge of the third ring road, directly opposite to a road, and the nights in big cities are always extraordinarily long.

The pancake stand on the overpass is booming. Many young white-collar workers have just left the office building at this point. They are hungry and need a midnight snack to replenish their energy on the way home. The sanitation workers not far away are waving their brooms and cleaning silently. Looking at the sidewalk, two bald men in suits and leather ties under the platform were waiting for the late night bus while holding their mobile phones. Behind them, the girl with a bear card in the 24-hour convenience store made a long call in front of the cash register. yawn…

And at 00:00, they were all frozen in time.

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

The speeding cars on the road also stopped at this moment.

Zhang Heng went to the station to pick up a friend once before, and he had also seen what the city looked like in the middle of the night.

But it was the first time for such a close observation.

He can see the scallions sprinkled from the hands of the pancake brother, the calluses and dark faces of the sanitation workers, the greasy bridge of the nose of the bald man, and the picture of the full moon daughter on the screen of the mobile phone, the girl who issued the bear card secretly hidden in the cash register. Celebrity stickers under the camera...

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

It was as if he knew the city all over again.

Zhang Heng used WeChat to open 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 its second turn, he rushed back to the dormitory before the housekeeper's aunt locked the door.

It was also 00:00, this time Zhang Heng did not wear headphones.

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

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

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

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

...

The electric fan on the door creaked and shook its head, the sound of wild cats calling spring came from outside the window, and someone ran across the corridor with slippers on. Zhang Heng, who had not closed his eyes for more than a day, was also tired at this time, and the power would be out. After plugging in his mobile phone, he threw himself onto the bed as fast as he could, and entered the fragrance of dreams.
