*four episodes

Wang Jiexiang appeared at the door of the staff dormitory and was hit by someone as usual.

Brother Xu: "Little baby..."

Wang Jiexiang raised his hand to cut off his words: "There's nothing to do at the gate, I went wrong."

She turned and went downstairs, intending to go to the telephone booth and cut the telephone line directly.

Running to the open area of the auto repair shop, the barrier reappeared. Wang Jiexiang tried various methods, and spent more than half an hour, but still couldn't get close.

In the distance, Yin Xian came out of the cafeteria after finishing his meal.

Wang Jiexiang waved at him, trying to stop him: "Yin Xian! Yin Xian!"

He didn't respond.

She couldn't get close to him, he couldn't hear her... An invisible barrier appeared around him.

"Don't go." Wang Jiexiang beat the barrier desperately, and Yin Xian walked into the phone booth.

Smell of smoke, she sat on the ground and coughed.

The sound of mahjong hitting tiles rang in my ears.

Wang Jiexiang closed her eyes and didn't want to face it.

*Five Weeks

Opening his eyes, it was the door of the staff dormitory again.

Wang Jiexiang was completely out of ideas.

She began to feel depressed and discouraged, and suspected that there was no way out of this space at all.

The fifth time I met Brother Xu, he asked her who she was looking for, and Wang Jiexiang walked away without saying a word.

Nothing can be done.

She silently lurks beside Yin Xian, passively observing what his course of action would be if she hadn't been disturbed by herself.

Coming out of the staff dormitory, Yin Xian went directly to the cafeteria.

After buying his meal, he found a nearby empty seat and sat down.

Wang Jiexiang was in a daze: shouldn't there be a plot of coworkers taunting her here? The last time she obviously waited for ten minutes with a meal, but there was no place...

oh! It dawned on her.

When the two of them were together, they only went to the long table in the corner when they were looking for an empty seat for the two of them.

The worker triggered by the overalls sneered and went to He Shan's office to talk to her. These two events were not inevitable events in the original story. It was her appearance and her intervention that made these plots happen and complicated the situation.

Yin Xian ate alone.

Wang Jiexiang hid in a hidden corner, observing this different world from the perspective of a complete bystander.

A bald-headed man was sitting closest to her, and she glanced at him inadvertently. Then, she looked at where Yin Xian was sitting. Suddenly, her eyes locked onto another face, who was sitting on Yin Xian's right hand.

"My God, is it my eyesight?"

The bald man on my side and the bald man next to Yin Xian have very similar facial features, as if they were twin brothers.

After opening this Lianliankan angle of view, Wang Jiexiang took aim and aim, and then found the third, fourth, and even fifth faces that looked exactly the same.

In the second week, she glanced briefly at the workers in the cafeteria. At that time, she felt that everyone here was wearing uniform clothes, and they looked about the same height. After looking around, she didn't even remember a single face.

The reason for not remembering is simple.

There are several types of workers here, and they are all ordinary to weird.

They are like extras drawn in the background, inconspicuous, so they are perfunctorily copied and pasted many times.

Wang Jiexiang's scalp was numb, and she felt that the atmosphere of terror was getting stronger.

Seeing that Yin Xian had a good meal, she immediately followed and left this strange place.

He went straight to the phone booth.

In order to stop the cycle, Wang Jiexiang couldn't let him call.

She failed.

Or because of enchantment.

From the moment he came out of the cafeteria, there was an enchantment beside Yin Xian.

Wang Jiexiang gnawed her fingers, welcomed the world reset, and slowly sorted out the information in her mind.

*Six weeks

"Little baby," Brother Xu dutifully said his lines, "What are you doing at the gate?"

After listening to this opening remark a lot, it actually made her feel very cordial.

Standing on tiptoe and patting him on the shoulder, Wang Jiexiang walked out of the staff dormitory.

She learned from the previous world that Yin Xian's previous story was unpredictable, the only places he went were: staff dormitories, cafeterias, and telephone booths.

He did not interact or have conversations with others in the cafeteria.

Explain that the phone call is probably one of the things he planned to do that day.

The only point and ultimate purpose of that clearance is beyond a doubt: to prevent him from going to the phone booth.

If you want to stop it, you must have no enchantment. Wang Jiexiang picked up a branch, wrote and drew on the ground, and summed up the law of formation of the enchantment.

Week 1: Contact Yin Xian. Can go to the open space, the known enchantment is outside the auto repair shop, and I have never been close to the phone booth.

Week Two: Contact Yin Xian. I haven't been close to the phone booth, so I don't know where the enchantment exists.

Three Weeks: Contact Yin Xian. The enchantment appeared in an open space, some distance away from the phone booth.

Four eyes: The enchantment is in the open area, and there is also an enchantment around Yin Xian.

Fifth week: Same as fourth week.

In the first two episodes, she interacted with Yin Xian the most; in the third episode, they had contact, but she cared more about the surrounding environment and had less conversations with him; in the fourth and fifth episodes, she avoided Yin Xian.

"Is the formation of the enchantment based on the degree of interaction between us?"

Breaking off the branch, she stood up.

In order to verify her conjecture, Wang Jiexiang guarded Yin Xian and came out.

On his way to the cafeteria, she asked him the way.

"Excuse me, where is the nearest toilet?"

Yin Xian pointed her in a direction.

Wang Jiexiang pretended to walk there for a while, and when she heard the sound of his walking away, she immediately turned around and followed him.

After Yin Xian finished his meal, Wang Jiexiang hurried forward to block him like a paparazzi seeing a star.

"Wow, there is really no enchantment in doing this!" She grabbed his sleeve excitedly, and jumped to let him see herself: "Hey, hey, can you hear my voice?"

Yin Xian was surprised: "...what happened to you in the toilet?"

This is a rare opportunity, Wang Jiexiang's eyes flashed: before he called, he stole his calling card by himself, and it would be over.

She thought about it and did so, and honestly touched his bulging trouser pocket, and took out the wallet smoothly.

In the next second, Wang Jiexiang's legs left the ground.

The collar was held by Yin Xian in his hand, and he sneered.

"Aren't you too crazy, stealing from me right under my nose?"

She tried to explain the ins and outs to him. Yin Xian thought she was fooling himself, she spoke dryly, but he turned a deaf ear.

The wallet was taken back by him, and the thief Jie Xiang was carried all the way by him and thrown out of the auto repair shop.

"You idiot!"

She shook the railing of the auto repair shop and shouted at Yin Xian's back.

"Fool, don't call if you have the guts!"

She said that, but he went to the phone booth, clearly heard her, but ignored her.

Wang Jiexiang stomped her feet and simply walked away from the auto repair shop.

Now he is the one who throws her out, there is no barrier outside the garage, she can walk freely.

"I don't care about you anymore, I'm mad at you."

Wang Jiexiang crossed her hands, pouted her lips, and walked quickly.

The other world doesn't let her go.

After walking for about five minutes, the smell of smoke and gray fog caught up.

*Seven Weeks

Familiar mahjong parlor, familiar Xu brother.

"Little baby, you..."

"I'm angry," her face rounded, her pursed mouth could catch the soy sauce bottle, "don't talk to me, I'm going to stay angry for three minutes."

Three minutes passed.

Wang Jiexiang figured it out: this fool Yin Xian, she, Wang Jiexiang, will definitely save him.

She's sure to find a way to get through it, fast and efficient.

When she got the key to clear the level, she would shake her hair and leave Yin Xian handsomely, as decisively as he left her to make a phone call.

After so many times, Wang Jiexiang's physical test revealed two key pieces of information: interaction can indeed affect the barrier; the key point that trapped Yin Xian was the phone call.

In other words, she needs to have a close interaction with Yin Xian, even if that will trigger a lot of unnecessary and useless plots, then she will have a chance to stop him from calling.

However, Wang Jiexiang still has doubts: who is Yin Xian calling? What did you say on the phone

—Okay, take your time, I'll figure it out this week.

She clenched her fists tightly, fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes.

Yin Xian walked up the stairs and ran into Wang Jiexiang, a child passing by. She asked him, "Brother, where is the toilet?"

Yin Xian went downstairs and ran into Wang Jiexiang, a kid playing, she said, "Brother, the stone I picked up is gone, I don't know who stole it, did you see it?"

Yin Xian walked to the entrance of the cafeteria and ran into Wang Jiexiang, a child waiting for someone. She waved her hand: "Brother, it's a coincidence to meet again. I'll wait for my mother, so we won't talk much, haha."

After finishing his meal, he sat down to eat, thinking that he was finally quiet.

Wang Jiexiang jumped out lingeringly.

"Is the meal good?"

"What's the specialty of the cafeteria?"

He didn't answer her, but her voice kept floating in his ears.

"Are there usually so many people here?"

"Why are cafeteria chairs made of plastic and not wood?"

"Brother, there is a ball in the reception room. I want to shoot it. Can you borrow it with me after dinner? I am timid and afraid of strangers, and I dare not talk to the uncle in the reception room..."

Yin Xian probably got terrified too, so he left the cafeteria and led her straight to the reception room.

After Wang Jiexiang got the ball, he ordered her viciously: "Shoot your ball! Don't talk to me again."

She kept saying yes.

When Yin Xian entered the telephone booth, she dribbled the ball and approached him quietly.

Finally, after all this effort, Wang Jiexiang overheard Yin Xian's call.

"Dad, I'm going to resign."

He was talking on the phone with his back to her, and his tone of voice could not tell the emotion.

Wang Jiexiang didn't hear something yelled at the other end of the phone.

Since Yin Xian wasn't looking at her, she brushed her hair aside and put her ear to the glass outside the phone booth.

"It's useless for you to be angry. I've already made up my mind. I just want to let you know. Nowadays, the car supplies in the market are in a good shape. I can have a better prospect of reselling them and earn more money than I do now. Auto repair shops don't care at all. Emphasis on technical services, the difficulty of maintenance has increased, but the technicians still employ the old fritters who were not enterprising. I am in charge of this, and I know very well that the rework rate and compensation rate of maintenance in the factory have doubled. Following this trend, It will be a matter of time before the factory collapses."

Hearing this, Wang Jiexiang couldn't help scolding herself for being a pig.

She has heard what Yin Xian said! Before entering the house, Rabbit said to her: Technical service is not as quick as sales, and at this time he wants to switch to sales. His family disagreed with him, so he broke with them and quit his job to work on his own.

His heart knot comes from the family, how could she forget the rabbit's words when she came in

Yin Xian's father's tone was serious and his voice was so loud that Wang Jiexiang froze from drinking.

"Do you still know that you are a skilled worker? The skilled worker will do your technical work honestly. Should you care about the others? Will the factory collapse? Such a big factory will not collapse even if you die. Besides , you have the skills, why are you afraid you won’t find a job?”

"Going to do sales, huh, I think you are thinking about money and crazy. Short-sighted! You have a whole body of technology, but you want to nod and bow and ask someone to change the seat, navigator, and help someone put on the film. It's ridiculous."

Yin Xian asked him coldly: "You are an engineer, so do I have to be an engineer?"

People on the other side are unable to communicate normally. He cursed and cursed, completely ignoring the other party's question.

"Now that your wings are hard, you dare to talk back to me. White-eyed wolf, I worked hard to raise you, and I paved the road for you smoothly. The factory manager is my old friend, and his daughter is still talking about friends with you. You My brain was kicked by a donkey and I want to resign. Let me tell you, you are not allowed to resign, and you are not allowed to lose my face."

Before Yin Xian cut off the phone, he told him one last time.

"All in all, I quit."

The world was resetting, and Wang Jiexiang smelled the pungent smell of smoke.

Too many times, she didn't even bother to cough.

Yin Xian turned his head, and the two looked at each other through a glass, when the world was covered.

She saw him with a young face and a pair of empty and blank eyes.

"Why?" She didn't understand.

He should be high-spirited. When he stands here, he finally decides to be able to decide the node of his own life.

But he showed a frustrated expression, hunched over; like a drained battery, a new hot water bottle that was accidentally cut open.

Gray mist gradually enveloped them.

Wang Jiexiang wiped the glass that could no longer see clearly, and wondered if he would have time to hear what he said.

"Hello!"

"I'll see you soon, Yin Xian."
