[Rat cat] Mirror City

"What did you say? That Bai Yutang is pretending to be sick?" Gongsun Ce's voice suddenly sounded in the cafeteria.Murderous!All the students and teachers who were eating in the cafeteria froze, and quickly evacuated for more than five meters after identifying the source of the sound.

Everyone in the university knows that the professor of archeology, Gongsun Ce, has a temper that can't be provoked, but he can hide it. Never approach Gongsun Ce when he is angry, because after everyone heard his words, the knife and the plate clicked intimately. Voice.

When Gongsun Ce was angry, there were only two people who dared to approach him, each with its own characteristics.One of them is that the state of mind is as peaceful as water, that is, when everyone is afraid to approach Gongsun Ce, they are still sitting opposite Gongsun Ce to have lunch For the chopped up Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao has known Gongsun Ce for many years. To him, Gongsun Ce is a big brother who usually takes care of others, but once his temper is ignited, it will be a thunderbolt, but it will never burn him, so Zhan Zhao has experienced the past few days. After being confused for the first time, I have become accustomed to it. I need a peaceful mind.

So when Gongsun Ce got mad, Zhan Zhao was still in the mood to eat the meat on his plate. Of course, another reason was that the direct reason that made Gongsun Ce angry this time was Zhan Zhao's words.

I went to see Bai Yutang today and returned without success. Gongsun Ce was very disappointed at first, so during the meal just now, Gongsun Ce was complaining about why Bai Wuye didn’t get sick sooner or later, but he was sick at this time, but Gongsun Ce also knew You can't force the patient to come to see yourself.

So it's better to swallow the resentment by yourself.Originally, Gongsun Ce planned this way, but Zhan Zhao was having a great time eating. Seeing that Gongsun Ce was so disappointed, he casually dropped a sentence, "Who said Bai Yutang was sick? When we left, I saw the second floor. There's someone watching us, probably it's him."

One sentence detonated Gongsun Ce.Gongsun Ce pointed at Zhan Zhao with the table knife in his hand, and pointed the blade directly at the tip of Zhan Zhao's nose, "Zhan Zhao, you really didn't lie to me?" Don't stab, everyone around swallowed.

"That's right, you still don't believe what I saw." Zhan Zhao didn't care at all that he was being pointed at by Gongsun Ce with a knife, and it was a greasy table knife.Well, today's food is very good.

Gongsun Ce has hated Zhan Zhao's smile the most since he was a child. He smiles so white-eyed and so natural that you can't find a reason to scold him.

Did he just let go of the opportunity to study an ancient mirror?How can it be!The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Gongsun Ce dropped the tableware and ran out of the cafeteria.

Too bad, Gongsun is going to kill him back.Zhan Zhao quickly chewed and swallowed the meat in his mouth, drank another saliva to prevent himself from choking, rushed forward and dragged Gongsun Ce back to his seat to finish.

"Gongsun, calm down." Zhan Zhao looked down and saw Gongsun Ce staring at him, he quickly brought a glass of water to Gongsun Ce to worship the fire.

Gongsun Ce was also polite, poured a glass of water directly, and began to preach to Zhan Zhao, "Zhan Zhao, why don't you tell me, Bai Yutang just doesn't want to see us, so baby, how can I not know about that mirror?" Its value, can I break it? Even if you don’t want to, come out and tell us, I won’t grab it, we are civilized people!”

As he talked, Gongsun Ce became more and more angry, "No, we must fight back!" As soon as he slapped the table, Gongsun Ce wanted to run out again.Zhan Zhao hurriedly pushed Gongsun Ce back to his seat.

"Gongsun, we can't force this matter. We have also left our contact information and said what we said. If they are willing to let us study it, they will definitely contact you. If you kill it like this, you will have to be thrown out. Calm down. Calm down." Zhan Zhao smiled and handed the knife and fork to Gongsun Ce, and pushed Gongsun Ce's lunch in his direction.

If Gongsun Ce didn't have enough to eat, it would be the colleagues in the laboratory who suffered in the afternoon.Gongsun Ce rolled his eyes at him, and he was furious. "Zhan Zhao, you are soft-tempered, and you will help Le when you are bullied another day, really!"

Snatching the knife from Zhan Zhao's hand, Gongsun Ce aimed at the piece of meat in front of him. He pushed and pulled the knife and cut the meat so hard that he could hear the sound of the knife rubbing against the plate. .Gongsun Ce kept thinking about it as he cut the meat, not knowing who should have cut the meat.Well, Zhan Zhao decided not to delve into this issue.

Passing Gongsun Ce another glass of water, Zhan Zhao looked up and saw an acquaintance behind Gongsun Ce walking towards them.Seeing Zhan Zhao look up, the man made a "shh" gesture to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao nodded knowingly, eating his lunch without making a sound.The man smiled with satisfaction, stepped more lightly, and walked towards the two of them lightly.

Five steps, four steps, three steps, two steps, one step... Walking behind Gongsun Ce, the man showed a triumphant smile, bent down and approached Gongsun Ce.

"Try to get closer?" Gongsun Ce didn't see anyone, and pointed the table knife in his hand backwards, leaving only a little distance from the tip of the opponent's nose.

This is the legendary practice makes perfect, right?Zhan Zhao lowered his head and ate the meat silently, he could already guess the next scene, silence is golden, silence is golden.

"Professor Gongsun, don't be angry, am I planning to give you a surprise?" The man showed a pleasing smile. Of course, this smile is pleasing to most people, but in Gongsun Ce's view, it is disgusting.

"Bao Zheng, stay away from me!" Gongsun Ce started his second rampage today in disgust, stabbing with the knife in his hand, but Bao Zheng dodged it nimbly and grabbed his wrist.

The interaction between the two aroused more spectators. Zhan Zhao tried to move his plate away, but Gongsun Ce immediately noticed, "Zhan Zhao, if you dare to leave, you will be working overtime this month!"

Overtime is the bane.Zhan Zhao immediately returned to his seat with a plate in his hand, biting his lunch to express that he was going to watch a play and he would not leave.Zhan Zhao looked at Bao Zheng calmly, the only one of the two who dared to approach Gongsun Ce when he was angry.

Of course, Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao played different roles.Generally speaking, Zhan Zhao's approach will calm Gongsun Ce's anger, but Bao Zheng is the one who adds fuel to the fire, for example now:

Bao Zheng grabbed Gongsun Ce's wrist, put the knife back on the table with his free hand, glanced at Gongsun Ce's appalling lunch, and said with a smile, "Professor Gongsun, Zhan Zhao is still a child, don't treat him like that." It’s so fierce. Professor Gongsun, isn’t lunch to your liking?”

"Let me go, I lose my appetite when I see you!" Seeing that he couldn't break free from him, Gongsun Ce raised his leg and kicked towards Bao Zheng's feet.

This is cruel enough.Bao Zheng quickly let go and jumped back, almost bumping into a student who was dumping the dinner plate.After apologizing to the man, Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce helplessly, "I said, Professor Gongsun, you really respect your teacher, and you used all the self-defense skills I taught you back on me."

"Nonsense, who else should I guard against besides you." Gongsun Ce glared at him, and shot back directly, and the two of them started the kind of argument that Zhan Zhao was familiar with again.

Zhan Zhao looked at the two with his chin in his hand, and yawned. Why can't Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng get along well?

Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng have known each other for four years. Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce had known each other before Zhan Zhao graduated from university and did research with Gongsun Ce. During the process of the two getting acquainted, Zhan Zhao also listened to the two people talk about the overall situation. The outline of the story remains the same, but the details of the story are very different between the two versions of the story.

There were several cases of missing cultural relics in the city before. The police needed the assistance of a professional researcher during the investigation. Gongsun Ce went to assist them in their work at that time. He and Bao Zheng met at that time.

Zhan Zhao doesn't understand, they are both excellent, and they work in a tacit understanding, why are they so out of tune, and Gongsun Ce is obviously not so easy to get angry at ordinary times, how come Bao Zheng becomes so angry when he meets Bao Zheng? Hot chili?Is it because Bao Zheng always teases him?

Here Zhan Zhao sighed that his life was over, and the battle between Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng had basically stabilized there, and the two of them could talk about things.

Bao Zheng sat down with a smile, and Gongsun Ce sat next to Zhan Zhao.Bao Zheng smiled and said, "I'm here to inform you to attend the meeting arranged for the archaeological work."

Got a job again?The eyes of Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce lit up at once. Gongsun Ce was 100% enthusiastic about work, while Zhan Zhao was thinking about where to go to play after work.

"No, why did you come to inform us?" Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng suspiciously. Usually, the meetings are notified by text messages or other teachers. Could it be that Bao Zheng is still playing tricks on him?

Being scanned up and down by Gongsun Ce's gaze, Bao Zheng quickly raised his hand in surrender, "I didn't lie to you, I'm notifying you because I'm going to attend this meeting too, and the three of us are going to join forces again."

"..." Gongsun Ce's mood suddenly became complicated. Archeology is a good thing, but he wants to cooperate with Bao Zheng?Zhan Zhao was also in a complicated mood, and the next ups and downs were already predictable.

In the end, Gongsun Ce was still defeated by his enthusiasm for work, "So, when will the meeting start?"

"right now."

"What did you say?" Gongsun Ce narrowed his eyes, and the dangerous and tense atmosphere lingered around the two of them again.Zhan Zhao also blinked blankly, he must have misheard.

"It's now." The person who delivered the message smiled even more happily, "It's been driving for a while."

"Why are you still so leisurely?" Now even Zhan Zhao is going to be pissed off by Bao Zheng, will someone inform others that the time for the meeting is now?

Bao Zheng scratched his head embarrassingly, "Oh, your school is too big. The teacher who informed me told me that you are in the canteen. There are so many canteens in your school, so I went to the nearest one. I didn't find you. I was looking for you, but I saw food..."

"You can't walk when you see the food, right? Then I'll make you completely unable to walk, and you can't even open your eyes, okay?" Gongsun Ce grinned, picked up the knife and filled the cafeteria. Hunt down Bao Zheng.Zhan Zhao watched this after-dinner comedy happily.

When they ran around the cafeteria for a few laps, Zhan Zhao suddenly realized that something was wrong, and jumped directly between the two of them to stop them, "Wait, Gongsun, Brother Bao, we seem to have forgotten something important."

"What could be..." Gongsun Ce just wanted Zhan Zhao to get out of the way, but he suddenly realized that the time was wrong.Looking at their watches, the three of them were taken aback at the same time: "I'm late!"

After a loud bang, the three protagonists who made a big fuss in the cafeteria finally left the scene. Congratulations, everyone can finally have a good meal.

The three people in the cafeteria here are making a scene, but the dining situation of a group of people on the other side is completely different.

Min Xiuxiu bumped Lu Fang with his elbow, "Husband, what happened to Fifth Brother today?" Bai Yutang had already poked this bowl of rice dozens of times, and if he cut it off, would he eat the whole rice bowl? ?

Not only Min Xiuxiu, but everyone was staring at Bai Yutang, wondering what happened to his fifth brother.Xu Qing sat next to Bai Yutang, and patted him hard, "Fifth, what's the matter, lunch doesn't suit your appetite?"

Bai Yutang was so photographed that he almost missed his chopsticks.Rubbing his sore shoulder with a bitter face, Bai Yutang said helplessly, "No, the food cooked by sister-in-law is delicious."

"Then you haven't eaten a single grain of rice for a long time?" Xu Qing said bluntly, often choking a group of people to death with a single sentence, and Bai Yutang was sometimes powerless to resist, such as now, not to mention other brothers also helped choke him.

Jiang Ping put down his chopsticks, "Where is Lao Wu's appetite? I don't think he woke up." Although he said so, Jiang Ping still looked at him worriedly, "Dreaming again?"

"Still dreaming?"

"Still having that weird dream?"

"Fifth brother, what did you dream about this time?"

"No." Bai Yutang pinched the bridge of his nose, and applauded the tacit understanding of the four brothers by the way. Except for Min Xiuxiu's different focus, only she paid more attention to the follow-up of his dream, and paid more attention to what happened to the man in red. , "Just a little distracted."

Bai Yutang also felt baffled, after letting the fourth brother take the mirror away, he always felt empty in his heart, and this was also the reason why he was distracted just now.

The expressions of the brothers and sisters-in-law are "I don't believe you at all, you are just a little distracted".However, Bai Yutang himself couldn't explain why, and the last six of them withdrew their minds and began to eat.

For the whole afternoon, in order not to let himself think about the mirror again, Bai Yutang went out with his four older brothers to inspect the business, and worked for a whole afternoon.

When he got home, Bai Yutang was extremely exhausted. He didn't like socializing very much, so he didn't go with his brother and the others tonight's socializing, so he chose to go home early.

How long has it been since you worked so hard all day?Bai Yutang rubbed and pressed his neck, and planned to drink a glass of water and return to his room to rest.

When passing by the collection room, Bai Yutang paused and stopped at the door of the collection room.It's just a door away, and the ancient mirror is inside.

Bai Yutang hesitated for a moment, but finally gave in and opened the door.The collection room was pitch black, only the lights in the corridor tried hard to illuminate the whole room over Bai Yutang's body.

It feels like the whole room is extending infinitely, the walls are stretching, Bai Yutang even has the illusion that the space inside is going to be distorted, this feeling is very weird.

Bai Yutang turned on the light in the storage room, and saw that the mirror was placed in the innermost part of the storage room, facing the door.Bai Yutang walked up to the mirror, but the mirror that had been eroded by time did not reflect his figure.

Bai Yutang stared at the mirror for a while, then raised his hand to close the mirror, it still felt smooth, the same as in the morning, but without the ripples seen before.

Probably just an illusion.Bai Yutang withdrew his hand, told himself that it was just nervousness, and walked out of the collection room with a smile.What he didn't notice was that when he closed the door, the mirror rippled round and round.

According to the usual habits, he lay back on the bed to rest, and while he was half asleep and half awake, Bai Yutang actually had a premonition that maybe he would return to that dream again tonight.
