The Midnight Owl

Chapter 5: carry out an assignment

Views:

The new word is "heart ashes".

It is simply a portrait of Xu Wang's heart at the moment.

The exhaustion and powerlessness brought about by frequent setbacks made Xu Wang unable to concentrate on his gestures or explanations. His first thought was to interrupt by saying the words directly, changing new words, but after thinking about his state, he changed came up with an idea.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Wang calmed down a little in the few seconds that passed quietly, looking forward to finding some new hope when the next word appeared.

The teammates who guessed the words didn't know, so Wu Sheng looked at him suspiciously. Kuang Jinxin asked directly, "Brother, why don't you talk anymore?" Sun Jiang had already given up hope and said sarcastically, "If I say it, I shouldn't guess at the beginning. This is a fucking scam, whoever is serious is a fool."

At the end of ten seconds, "heart ashes" disappeared and replaced with "five thunders."

Xu Wang hit the bottom and rebounded, his arms spread out with lightning speed, and he fluttered his claws in a thunderous state, speaking as fast as lightning: "Kacha-kacha-empty-" He slapped himself on the forehead with the last sound!

Wu Sheng suddenly became enlightened: "The sky strikes with thunder!"

Kuang Jinxin understood: "A thunderbolt from the blue!"

"It's a thunderbolt, but it doesn't have the word thunderbolt!" Xu Wang was dying of anxiety. This was the first time they had gotten so close to the answer, but the closer they got, the more anxious they became.

Sun Jiang: "It seems to be moving!"

Xu Wang is very happy that Sun Jiang has also invested in guessing words, but: "Brother, even if you don't stick to your side, you can say an idiom!"

"I mean bear!" The panic in Sun Jiang's eyes grew stronger and stronger, "The bear seems to be moving!"

Xu Wang's whole body froze, and his eyes immediately turned from the ice waterfall to the black shadow under the three people's feet... Sun Jiang is a liar. What kind of bear seems to be moving, it's fucking got up already! ! !

As if feeling the "hot gaze", the wobbly black bear raised his small eyes and locked Xu Wang tightly.

One person, one bear, no more than two meters apart.

Xu Wang stepped on the roller shoes and rubbed back slightly, his throat was dry and his palms were sweating.

The black bear tentatively took a step forward, and found that he didn't meet the mysterious obstacle that had hit it earlier, so he took a second step.

The strings in Xu Wang's heart were stretched to the limit, and he kicked up his roller skates, and he arrived at the foot of a tree seven or eight meters away.

The black bear didn't take the second step, but raised a paw to gently dig the ground, one click, two clicks, like the roar of the accelerator before the racing driver.

"Whoa-"

The roar shook the sky, and the black bear rushed towards Xu Wang like a huge cannonball!

The strings in Xu Wang's heart were completely broken, the wind blew from the soles of his feet, and he fled desperately!

In such a huge mountain forest, only one-third of an acre is covered with hard snow. It is difficult to walk anywhere on roller skates. Xu Wang can only circle around the three teammates and the black bear!

The teammates inside the invisible barrier were in a hurry but couldn't help. Kuang Jinxin shouted and shouted: "Brother Xu, if you don't want to let it die, you will be bounced back to reality like yesterday!"

Xu Wang narrowly escaped the black bear's claws, opened a distance again, and wanted to cry without tears: "My brother, you can't risk your life on this matter. In case it was just a coincidence yesterday, my suicide would be like a direct suicide. Put your life in this ghost place!

"Then run somewhere else and get rid of it, what kind of circle are you going around here!" Don't look at the sarcastic remarks just now, and now Sun Jiang is really sweating for Xu Wang.

"Other places the snow is too thick and too soft to slide!" The more Xu Wang explained, the more saddened he became. When he was guessing the words just now, he was still thinking, these skateboard shoes don't seem to be of great use. Now he knows he is wrong, he knows that he is too stupid and naive, just like the fish tornado distracts the bear and the sled gallops to the coordinate point, give it to you Skateboard shoes, it must make you rub and rub, and walk the pace of the devil!

"Continue." Wu Sheng suddenly said.

Xu Wang, who had slid over, looked back at his face, calm and firm.

"Isn't there any other way?" Wu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Then continue, guessing the correct word should be able to get out of trouble."

Xu Wang wanted to say, "You said it lightly, it's not you who dared to be chased by the bear!", but seeing the familiar firmness on the other's face, he swallowed the words again.

This is Wu Sheng. When he really wants to solve a problem, he will discard all distracting thoughts, remove all the details that he thinks are superfluous, only focus on the key points, only look at the main line, go straight to the core, focus and be efficient.

In Xu Wang's heart, this is Wu Sheng's most handsome moment, no matter in high school many years ago, or now many years later.

"Brother Xu—" Kuang Jinxin shouted directly.

Xu Wang's scalp tightened and he slid forward reflexively. The bear claws cut through the down jacket, and a few white duck feathers flew out.

Seeing Xu Wang's life and death momentarily, Wu Sheng was so frightened that his breathing almost stopped, and he was still a little bit calm, so he went into a panic: "Look at what I'm doing, look at the words and see the bear!"

In fact, without his reminder, Xu Wang no longer dared to be distracted.

The devil's pace rubbed together, Xu Wang accelerated several times to re-open the distance, and then raised his head to take a quick look at the ice waterfall.

I do not know that on the ice waterfall, which has changed a few words, the words "glare eyes wide open" are given at this moment, and there are still seven seconds left in the countdown.

From the beginning to the present, I don’t know how many words have been changed on the ice waterfall, Xu Wang suddenly realized that this “thesaurus” may not be infinite, maybe it has bottomed out, maybe every next word may be the last one , and as long as the answer is wrong, the whole game is lost.

The sudden pressure made Xu Wang flustered, but it also gave him the consciousness to fight against the odds.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Wang calmed his mind, slowly separated his body from his consciousness, handed his body over to muscle memory, kept the roller skating in circles, and focused his consciousness on words.

This is the exam secret Wu Sheng taught him back then, especially when the problem-solving idea was stuck, it worked wonders.

Xu Wang: "What does our high school dean look like every day?"

Wu Sheng was stunned for half a second, only half a second, and then he said loudly: "Ferocious, with raised eyebrows and wide eyes!"

"Ding-"

Long-lost crispness.

"Right? That's right!" Kuang Jinxin was the first to shout, even more excited than Xu Wang.

Xu Wang didn't have time to respond to him, but the corner of his raised mouth was the answer.

The countdown is not over yet, and Icefall has changed its words. This is the first time.

Xu Wang looked at the new words and said, "She Haiyang sings!"

Wu Sheng: "Ghost crying wolf howl! It's outrageous, people and gods are angry!"

"Ding-"

Xu Wang: "Zhang Lei wants to chase Zou Lulu!"

Wu Sheng: "Delusional, daydreaming!"

"Ding-"

"Qian Ai eat!"

"The wind blows the clouds!"

"Jingle Bell-"

[Owl: Congratulations on passing the test, the paper was handed in smoothly on 1/23! Dear, see you tomorrow~~]

A familiar voice sounded in my ears, but the content changed from yesterday's "Let's take a holiday early and send you home" to today's "Congratulations", and the tone was the same.

Xu Wang's eyes went dark, and he only felt that the weightlessness came again. He wanted to call others, but he couldn't shout, and he wanted to grab something, but there was nothing but nothingness.

I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a long time, and it seemed like there was only a moment when the white horse passed by, and my feet finally stepped on the ground again.

The breeze blew across his cheeks.

Xu Wang looked around and saw nothing in the darkness. He was a little flustered, and subconsciously said, "Wu Sheng?"

"Yes." The answer sounded, very close.

"Brother Xu, I'm here too!" It must be Kuang Jinxin who reported directly without anyone calling him.

"What the hell is this place!" Sun Jiang, who was always on the verge of being irritable.

His teammates were all there, so Xu Wang felt a little relieved.

After returning from the bright snow field, his eyes finally got used to the darkness. Xu Wang looked up and saw the bright side of the moon reflected behind the dark clouds.

Another breeze passed.

It was supposed to be a cool late autumn night wind, blowing on the red face from the cold, it was actually warm and itchy.

It is night, the night of Beijing.

They are back.

Xu Wang finally calmed down, looked back, and looked around, taking it for granted that he was still standing at the crossroads like yesterday, but when he saw it, he was stunned. Where is the road? The four of them are standing on a bridge over a lake. The lake is not too wide. It looks like an artificial lake in a park. The railings of the bridge are made of wrought iron. Shady, lush vegetation, branches swaying gently in the wind under the moonlight, shadowy shadows...

Hold on.

Xu Wang narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the more familiar the scene became: "Isn't this Qingnian Lake Park!"

After his reminder, Kuang Jinxin and Sun Jiang, who also lived nearby and came to breathe fresh air from time to time, suddenly realized, "No!"

Xu Wang was full of doubts, and was about to continue to communicate with his teammates when he heard Wu Sheng read out a series of numbers: "116.4085, 39.9616."

Following the sound, I saw Wu Sheng staring down at the phone, and the cold light reflected from the screen illuminated his tightly locked brows.

"Where did you... get your phone from?"

"I put it in my pocket before I was sucked in tonight, but it's useless, I don't believe it in it at all..." Before he finished speaking, Wu Sheng suddenly reacted, "The mobile phone is not the point!"

"OK," Xu Wang hurriedly reassured and returned to the topic, "What did you read just now?"

"Coordinates," Wu Sheng held up his phone and showed it to Xu Wang, which was a satellite map with coordinate capture, "Our current position is exactly the same as the coordinates in the cheat sheet."

The first reaction of Kuang Jinxin, who was listening next to him, was to look at his arm, wanting to review the coordinates again, but it took him a long time to react. The weird pattern on his arm had disappeared as they returned to reality.

"You mean there and reality share a set of latitude and longitude in terms of geographic location?" Xu Wang did not bother to verify, Wu Sheng's head was comparable to a calculator, he said that the coordinates are the same, that is the same, but it doesn't make sense. , "It's daytime here, nighttime here, snowfield there, park here, nothing alike, what's the point of using the same coordinate system?"

"Who is there-"

Suddenly there was a loud shout from the patrolling security guard at the bridgehead, interrupting the "study" of the four, and then a flashlight came directly, illuminating the four "suspicious elements" in the night.

Xu Wang has always abided by the law, Wu Sheng's mind is still on the coordinates, and Jin Xin has never been out after twelve o'clock, so under the flashlight, his face is stunned.

At this time, it was obvious that Sun Jiang's social experience had come, and he immediately responded enthusiastically: "Dude, we are exercising and running at night!"

The security guard frowned, suspiciously.

Sun Jiang immediately raised his arms and shouted, and jumped up in small steps: "Brothers, it's almost time to rest, continue, one, two, one, one, two, one!"

Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, and Kuang Jinxin hurriedly followed, standing in a vertical row, and they ran as well.

At three o'clock in the morning, over Qingnian Lake Park, their loud slogan resounded—

"One-two-one! One-two-one! Develop sports and enhance people's physique!"

If you listen carefully, there is a little gossip mixed in it—

Kuang Jinxin: "Brother Xu, guess who are the people you are talking about?"

Xu Wang: "High school classmate."

Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Sun Jiang: "Tsk, did you two just arrange your classmates behind your back when you were studying?"

Xu Wang: "They weren't idle either, they said he was pretending to be coercive."

Wu Sheng: "Tell him that he's talkative."

Xu Wang: "It is said that he always flatters the teacher."

Wu Sheng: "Say he and everyone are best friends."

Xu Wang: "Fuck, who said that last sentence?!"

Wu Sheng: "..."

Youth has passed away and cannot be left, why do you have to look back.
