Time manager

"..."

In the library, everyone was staring at the crutches under Lian Ping's armpit and the plaster cast on his leg.

Tian Lu said in disbelief: "What's wrong with you, Xiao Lianping, I thought you were late today to help the old man cross the road? Did you get hit?"

The overseer mad curator is also rare and kind: "Even the teacher is not going to work for the time being, go back and rest."

Lian Ping scratched his head and said, "Uh...actually, I accidentally fell last night. I went to the hospital to see that there was nothing serious, but it happened that my mother was on duty, and she insisted on putting me in a plaster cast. There is a way. I was late this morning because I was unable to move. Can I really go back to rest? You just said, curator..."

The curator raised his wrist and looked at his watch as if nothing had happened: "Ah... it's time for work, everyone should perform their duties. Work hard today!"

"Oh!!" The crowd dispersed immediately.

Lian Ping: "..."

He limped to the seat next to Shi Jing and sat down, then began to stretch his legs again: "Teacher Shi..."

Shi Jing: "Do you remember what I said last night?"

Lian Ping: "Huh?"

"Do you want a cast on the other leg?"

"..."

"leave me alone."

"Hey, Teacher Shi, don't be so indifferent." Lian Ping was deeply shocked, and went to the other side to complain to Wang Xu, "Look, Teacher Wang, Teacher Shi was rubbed by me for a meal, and his sympathy was gone. ah."

Teacher Wang Xu covered his face with a book and said, "Mr. Lian Ping, please stay away from me."

"Plaster won't have foot odor, hey."

"It's your other foot..."

"..."

Under blows from both sides, Lian Ping finally managed to shut up, sit upright, and go to work in a proper manner.

The reading desk finally returned to tranquility.

Under such tranquility, no matter what occupation or personality, people can quickly blend into it.

This library seems to have a magical power that silences everyone, whether it is the inner irritability or the outer noise.Even active urchins stay quietly beside adults, examining the world of this book curiously.

While Shi Jing was observing others, a woman with a familiar face came to the reading desk.

"Hello, I received a notice that the book I borrowed was lost, did someone pick it up and send it back to the library?"

Shi Jing looked up and found that it was the white-collar lady who almost bumped into him a few days ago, and said, "The library card."

The woman handed it over and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

[Time stands still. 】

The note suddenly said.

Shi Jing stretched out his hand to take the library card and stopped in the air. Hearing the reminder, he took it back and asked, "Is there a problem?"

[Dangerous person, please avoid. 】

This is the benefit of a complete thesaurus, not only pointing out the danger, but also prompting the operation.

Shi Jing asked again: "Why is it dangerous?"

He just picked up other people's books, so he wouldn't be in danger.

The note replied: [This person's timeline has been broken. 】

"Timeline... what is it?"

[The time of each person's life is a line, starting from birth and ending until death. 】

"Under what circumstances will it be broken?"

【die. 】

"So you mean..." Shi Jing said hesitantly, "This person has come back from the dead?"

[Yes, the resurrected person is no longer himself, nor does he belong to this world, and is a potential threat to the manager. 】

Resurrection... does not belong to this world... Shi Jing thought for a while, did he meet the legendary traveler? ?Still wearing soul!

Before encountering this time note, Shi Jing didn't believe in such a thing.but now……

It seems to have to be avoided.According to the temper of the note, if the danger is not eliminated, time will stop forever.Although he likes quiet, he doesn't like a lifeless world like a specimen.

So he asked: "If Lian Ping and I switch positions, will he be in danger?"

【Won't. 】The note said,【The Resurrected Man is targeting the managers.Lian Ping is just an ordinary person. 】

He said it as if he was very unusual... Shi Jing thought for a while, then moved Lian Ping and his friends over, and exchanged seats with him.

[Static release. 】

A person suddenly appeared in front of Lian Ping's eyes. He was stunned for a moment, and soon saw the borrowing card handed over by that person. His professional inertia made him take it involuntarily, scanned the code, and then looked at the eye-catching abnormal message strangely and said: "Hey, your book..."

The woman was stunned for a moment, and quickly said coldly: "I want to renew the loan."

"It's 350 days overdue..." Lian Ping exclaimed.

"I will pay the fine. Please renew the loan for me." The woman said patiently.

"Oh. Wait a moment, I'll look for a book." Lian Ping responded in a daze, and while pulling the abnormal bookshelf to search, he shouted in his consciousness: "Everything!! What's going on? I remember that there was no book in front of me just now. Man, why did this woman suddenly appear in place? Could it be a ghost or something?? Isn’t my punishment time already over? Why are there still ghosts haunting her?”

"Host, calm down." The system said, "This is just a bug caused by world fluctuations. Also, this is a big living person."

Lian Ping found the book, and secretly asked while operating it: "What does bug mean?"

"Look carefully at what's on the table."

Lian Ping glanced at it and was stunned. "Isn't this Teacher Shi's desk?"

He was so dazed that he didn't even hear the woman asking "how much is the fine" several times, and was finally awakened by her loud slap on the table.

Before Lian Ping could react, he heard a voice say, "Excuse me, ma'am, our colleague is new here, and he is not very proficient in business. Please come to my place to do it."

It turned out to be Teacher Wang Xu.She took away the library card and books in Lian Ping's hand, quickly completed the process, and then gently reminded: "You can renew the loan again. In order not to waste your time, you can log in to our library next time. The homepage or app can be operated directly online. But after the next renewal is due, you have to go to the library to return the book.”

"Okay, thank you." The woman calmed down very quickly, glanced at Shi Jing vaguely, and left.

Lian Ping was still in a state of confusion, squatting in his consciousness and asking his own system: "What fluctuations, what bugs?"

"Our system comes from a world of different dimensions. When putting in the spirit body, it is inevitable that there will be a problem of out-of-synchronization. Has the host ever played a game? In the game, the server sometimes twitches, suddenly pulling the player to another scene. This understanding is fine. "

"So this is normal?"

"Yes."

Lian Ping got the systematic answer, took a long breath, turned his head and saw Shi Jing staring at him, and couldn't help but wondered: "What's the matter, Teacher Shi, do I have a flower on my face?"

Shi Jing was looking at the new skills that the notes had just unlocked for him.

【God's Perspective】

I saw a white thread wrapped around Lian Ping's body, not just him, everyone had a thread.

[That is the timeline. 】The notes said.

Shi Jing noticed that everyone's timeline is long or short, with different shades.The length is probably related to age, the depth...

[That is the density of the event point.Everyone's timeline is composed of bits and pieces of events. In a period of time, the more things you do, the denser the event points will be. 】

Shi Jing observed carefully, indeed... the distribution of dark and light colors in everyone's timeline is almost uneven.

Even, the way everyone's timeline winds up is different.Some wrap around the body regularly, some cling to their owners; some wrap around the arms, and some wrap around the neck.

Lian Ping's timeline is wrapped around his chest from his neck to his neck. It looks messy, a little tight, and a bit... suffocating.

What's even more strange is that on Lian Ping's timeline, there is still a small ball of light circling around.

Speaking of which, there was also a ball of light on the woman's timeline just now.

Except for the two of them, no one else in the library had such a ball of light.

What the hell is that?

Shi Jing looked at his timeline again, and saw that streamers spiraled around his body regularly, without light balls... for some reason, he was relieved.

He looked at it for a long time, until Lian Ping picked up the crutch and poked him, and then he said: "It's nothing, I think your dark circles are heavy again."

Lian Ping wailed suddenly, and secretly went to look in the mirror.

After Shi Jing opened up this strange perspective, he observed others all morning, including going to a noodle restaurant for lunch, and looked at the timelines of the diners, and finally came to the conclusion that there was indeed something wrong with that woman Lian Pinghe!

"When I was young, what was that ball of light?" Shi Jing asked in a low voice while taking a walk after dinner.

[An unknown existence that does not belong to this world. 】

"Is it dangerous?"

[Very dangerous, master please don't try to get close, they may interfere with the master's timeline.The recent frequent world fluctuations are also related to them. 】

"Then why isn't Lian Ping in danger?"

[Lian Ping's interference fluctuations are minimal.The master pays attention to the size and brightness of the photosphere. The larger the photosphere, the stronger the brightness and the greater the fluctuation. 】

Shi Jing looked again, Lian Ping's timeline was very bright, but the ball of light was very dim and inconspicuous.

Then I roughly understood that Lian Ping's busyness during this period was probably related to that ball of light.

The novels he has read are limited, and he can't think of this situation for a while, except for time travel.But after a day of observation, they didn't find any other people with light balls. It was more certain that what was wrong with Lian Ping was definitely related to the light balls.

I need to find a good time to find out... Shi Jing thought so, originally wanted to invite him to dinner, and by the way, Lian Ping received a call after get off work today.

Shi Jing couldn't hear what he said, but he noticed that when Lian Ping was answering the phone, the light ball on the timeline on his body suddenly brightened, and then quickly dimmed.

After Lian Ping hung up the phone, he had a displeased expression on his face.

Shi Jing had never seen such a gloomy expression on his face, and asked, "What's wrong? Someone asked you to help?"

Lian Ping smiled again and said, "Yes, Teacher Shi, I'm leaving first, and I'll treat you to dinner when we move over. I want to show you face."

Shi Jing just wanted to ask him when he would move, but before he could say anything, the guy limped away without looking back.

Shi Jing thought for a while, and followed quietly.
