The sound seemed to come from somewhere very far away, weak, intermittent, and with a faint screeching noise, just like an old-fashioned radio that was not tuned to the frequency, struggling to transmit the barely collected words.
Xu Wang shivered uncontrollably.
The little Sanhua in her arms raised her head and gently rubbed his chin with the top of her head.
The old doctor is still busy with his cleaning work, earnestly and without looking up.
[Owl: Who are you... who are you...]
Before he could answer, the voice persevered and asked a second time.
"You, who are you?" Xu Wang used all his strength to finally ask such a sentence.
[Owl: Owl…]
"Owl?" Xu Wang was at a loss for a moment, but he quickly remembered that in the pattern on the arms of the four, there was a word "owl" under the owl.
[Owl: No... that's not right... you shouldn't be here...]
Xu Wang was speechless. He hadn't said who he was, so he shouldn't be here? Besides, he didn't want to come!
"Yes, I shouldn't be here, so let me go back quickly."
[Owl: Twenty-three... file submission... regain freedom...]
"Hand in? What paper? Is this an exam?" Xu Wang really couldn't keep up with the other party's thinking, what subject is twenty-three
[Owl: No... You are not selected... You cannot submit the papers...]
"Don't talk to yourself," Xu Wang wanted to go crazy, "I'm not bad at studying, you don't have to give me a range, just tell me what twenty-three is, I'll learn it myself, and I'll definitely be able to submit it!"
[Owl: Not the one selected... No...]
"..." Xu Wang was tired, this person couldn't make any sense.
[Owl: Wasn't chosen... why... is here...]
[Owl: Who are you... who are you...]
Yea, inexplicably talking to himself a bunch, then circled back to the original point.
"You won," Xu Wang surrendered, handing over his name honestly, "Xu Wang, double Xu, hopeful Wang."
[Owl: Double Xu... Hope of Hope...]
"I already told you who I am, can you tell me how to get home?"
[Owl: This is the first time... someone... can hear me...]
Very good, I'm back in the "I don't listen, I don't listen, I just say what I want to say" mode.
[Owl: help me... help... help me...]
The sudden plea caught Xu Wang by surprise: "What?"
[Owl: No... It's useless... You'll forget...]
"Don't always jump to conclusions!" Xu Wang was really fed up, "I won't forget it! What the hell do you want me to help you with?"
No response.
His arms suddenly lightened.
Xu Wang lowered his head subconsciously, and the little three flowers he was holding disappeared at some point, leaving only a small milk cat keychain curled up in a ball, lying quietly in the palm of his hand.
Suddenly, the palm of the hand, together with the keychain, flashed twice quickly, shaking out a phantom.
But Xu Wangming didn't move.
He looked up in a panic, and found that the surrounding scenery began to twist and deform, just like in the previous corridor.
have to go home
have to go home!
Xu Shi felt too similar to when he came, his intuition was almost certain!
[Owl: Don't... forget... I...]
This is what Xu Wang heard, the last sentence.
…
Seven classes in three years.
A minute ago, Xu Wang disappeared. When he turned around and found that there was no one behind him, Wu Sheng was stunned for half a minute. In his life, there has never been a moment when his mind was blank, until this evening, he experienced it twice in a row.
When pushing Xu Wang away, once, about five or six seconds.
It was found that Xu Wang was gone. The second time, it took 30 seconds.
Half a minute later, he immediately started looking for people. The first stop was the classroom they had just left, Class 7 in three years.
Xu Wang was standing by his own desk without going any wrong way.
The moment he saw the other person's figure, Wu Sheng leaned against the door frame lightly, and his whole body almost lost his strength.
After hanging his heart for half a minute and running 10,000 meters, he thought with joy that this is the ratio of the loss of the mind and the body.
Taking a deep breath, his heartbeat gradually calmed down, Wu Sheng walked into the classroom and came behind Xu Wang.
He didn't deliberately slow down his steps, and it should not be concealed, but he was about to stick to Xu Wang's back, and the man was still motionless.
"Xu Wang?" Wu Sheng finally felt something was wrong.
The sound of thunder covered most of his voice, but the distance was close enough that Xu Wang turned his head slowly.
However, his eyes were blank, and it took a long time to settle on his face: "Huh?"
Wu Sheng was speechless, the "Huh?" was him, right? The person who slipped back into the classroom inexplicably looked blank and innocent. What kind of problem-solving ideas
"Oh," Xu Wang reached out to pick up the cell phone on the desk and showed him, "I forgot to take it."
Wu Sheng knew that he must have left something.
As for running away without saying a word... In normal times, you can criticize, but today, there is really no way to be confident.
"The rain has stopped." Xu Wang looked out the window.
Wu Sheng looked up, and sure enough, Lei Shuyu stopped, and the night seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.
"Hurry back." He worried that he would go down in a while.
"Well." Xu Wang put the phone in his pocket.
Wu Sheng turned around first and walked towards the door.
Xu Wang followed, but as soon as he took a step, his toes kicked something.
He bent over to pick it up, a kitten keychain.
This was his seat, and he slipped back after school and sat there for half the night, sure there was no such thing on the ground.
After that, Wu Sheng was the only one who came here.
The keychain is still brand new, and the color still shines even after it has been dropped.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Xu Wang hadn't followed, Wu Sheng turned around warily, for fear of losing someone again.
"Nothing." Xu Wang quietly put the keychain into his trouser pocket.
I have liked someone for so long and decided to give up, just let him be capricious once, and keep some memories.
Lost in love, memorial.
He didn't regret liking Wu Sheng at all.
It's just that starting tomorrow, we must concentrate on reviewing and preparing for the exam.
Go to a good university, find a stable job, don't seek success, as long as you can be self-sufficient - it sounds like it's not big enough, and even a little mediocre and mundane, but it's the only hope that his mother has for him.
…
Ten years later, Beijing, Xu Wang's bedroom.
Facing the keychain, the memory is like a tide, swept in, and can no longer be stopped.
"Owl" is right, as soon as he came out, he forgot everything in "Owl", the memory is like being edited and then spliced, one second is still in the corridor with Wu Sheng, the next second is Wu Sheng I turned back to find myself, and finally put a "come back to get my phone" at the splicing point.
Reasonable, no trace.
When he was still in Dongying, the pennant in 3/23 just reminded him of the part of following the team to enter the infection building. Until now, looking at the keychain, the more incredible part later came to mind. .
Unable to calm down any longer, Xu Wang got up and went back to the living room to sort out the complete "adventure ten years ago" and told the three teammates in the original.
As for the part that involves real life, except for the "broken love" in the middle, which is really worthless to discuss, and he skipped it, the rest are told frankly and without reservation.
Not only because he wanted to be frank with his partner, but also because it also involved the correspondence between the coordinates of the "owl" and reality, the correspondence of time, etc., and there was no way to study it without contacting reality.
The three partners heard from beginning to end.
During the whole process, Wu Sheng's expression changed in various ways, but he remained silent; Qian Ai wanted to ask questions frequently in the first half, but in the back, he was completely confused, how to tell how to listen; Kuang Jin Xin was just listening to the story. , and the more you listen, the more fascinated you become, and your eyes are so bright that people are embarrassed to speak in a dry way.
After speaking in one breath, Xu Wang's throat was smoking, he took the water cup and drank two big glasses, and waited for his teammates to ask questions.
Wu Sheng must be the one who understands the most quickly and sorts out the questions most quickly and comprehensively, but Xu Wang looked at him several times, and this teammate kept his eyes down.
"I can't," Qian Ai slapped the table, with questions about to explode, wandering around the house, "'Owl' talking to you? Let you help him? Why don't you help? "
"And that old doctor, why did you throw away the vaccine? Then what are we trying to do?!"
"No, if the owl can tamper with the memory, how can you be sure that your current memory is true?"
"I know there's a keychain, you say it's an illusion, but I think it's a keychain..."
After barely sighing, Wu Sheng finally raised his eyes: "Old Qian, calm down."
"Squad leader, you can't use your concentration to ask us ordinary human beings..." Qian Ai was still entangled in "ten years ago", and returned to his youth together with the title.
"I tend to believe Xu Wang," Wu Sheng said. "Otherwise, there's no way to explain it. The one who broke through the barrier suddenly opened up last night."
Wu Sheng looked at Qian Ai.
Xu Wang stared at Wu Sheng.
Believe it, don't believe it, don't believe it, "tend to" this kind of tone of voice is really invincible...
When we met again, Xu Wang felt that Wu Sheng had not changed, but now that he had finished looking through his memories, he realized that the green Wu in high school was much cuter!
Knowing that he is stubborn, I have to expose him to lie in the middle of the night, and then run to the teaching building in the rain to find him... Although the ending is cold, but with the passage of time, thinking about it again, it is more sweet than bitter.
"Wait a minute," Qian Ai grabbed the most obvious branch in the "Ten Years of Misty Forest" while looking at his military advisor, "Did you have no reaction when you saw Xu Wang disappear? Said your memory was also erased?"
"I can't guarantee that my memory has not been tampered with," Wu Sheng said rigorously, "but with my existing stored data, I didn't see him disappear, but turned back for the first time and saw him..." With a stab at the top of his heart, Wu Sheng narrowed his eyes, "I was watching the rain, and the second time I turned around, he was gone. There was about a minute in between, which was enough for him to return to the classroom quietly."
Xu Wang lowered his head and pretended to fiddle with the keychain.
He is not watching the rain.
He is crying.
It turned out that Wu Sheng always knew.
"Even if it makes sense to go back and get my phone, then I should say hello and say I left my phone in the classroom, right?" Qian Ai still didn't understand, "Don't you think it's strange that you just ran back like that?"
"There is no sound at all." Kuang Jinxin reminded friendly, "If you really 'shout' like this, no matter how slow you are, you will turn back immediately!"
Qian Ai Heixian: "I'm just making an analogy..."
"Because too many things happened that day," Wu Sheng thought about his words, "he doesn't want to talk to me, it's normal."
Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin naturally thought that Wu Sheng was talking about "Mother Xu's death".
Therefore, the former complained that he was not alert enough: "If it was me, I asked at the time. Maybe I could discover the secret of the 'Owl' ten years earlier!"
The latter admonished him euphemistically: "Brother Sheng, in fact, sometimes, you don't have to make up your own mind and make up the logic..."
Qian Ai sat back on the sofa again, marking that the initial "shock phase" was basically over.
"If there are no other urgent problems, we will start from scratch," Xu Wang said in a deep voice, "There are too many strange things in here."
Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin agreed.
Xu Wang nodded and looked at Wu Sheng: "Please start your analysis."
Suddenly being flipped over, Wu Junshi was caught off guard, with a cute look on his face.
The corners of Xu Wang's mouth rose, a little proud of the sneak attack, but the trust in his eyes was real: "You must have thought about it almost, you say, we will listen."
Wu Sheng finally came to his senses, glanced at him in a complicated mood, then adjusted his emotions and happily opened the small class for military division Wu.
"First, the coordinates. The coordinates of 3/23 are in Dongying, which is different from our school even in the province. There are two possibilities. The coordinates of 3/23 ten years ago were in our school. Or, there was a problem with the owl and Xu was mistaken. Hope sucked in 3/23."
"Second, time. When Xu Wang entered the owl, it was 0:00 Beijing time. According to the setting of 3/23, it should be 6:00 in the evening, but the actual situation was late at night. Of course, this may be the content of the 3/23 level. Normal changes and adjustments. However, Xu Wang stayed in it for at least forty minutes to an hour, but in reality, there was only one minute between when I found out that he was missing and when I returned to the classroom to see him. The time passes in synchrony with reality, so we can use our mobile phones to see the time.”
Student Qian raised his hand to speak.
Military division Wu waved his hand, indicating that I understood: "The owl can tamper with my memory of time. This is the first possibility, but it is also possible that the owl itself has a problem."
"Thirdly, the state of Xu Wang himself," which is what Wu Sheng is most concerned about, "for the passers-by, he 'does not exist', and for the buildings, objects and NPCs in the owl, he 'exists but is ignored' …”
Xu Wang was anxious to hear it, so he immediately followed up: "There are two possibilities here, come on."
Unexpectedly, Wu Junshi changed his routine: "There are no two, just one, the world of the owl mistook you for your own, so you will not receive the owl pattern that symbolizes the identity of the passer-by. In other words, if you can be See, then you are an NPC."
Xu Wang: "But they can't see me. Neither the passers-by nor the NPC can see me."
Wu Sheng: "So you are a bug."
Xu Wang: "..."
Wu Sheng: "Next, I will focus on analyzing the conditions for the emergence of bugs and the future development prospects."
Xu Wang: "..."
Qian Ai: "… "
Kuang Jinxin: "Brother Sheng, please speak slowly, and I will take notes in class."
