Time manager

6:00:13

Shi Jing opened his eyes on time and turned off the phone alarm.

As a librarian in Huaixi City, 08:30 is the official working time, and his apartment is very close to the library, so he doesn’t need to get up so early, but he has the habit of running in the morning.

Although there were some unusual episodes last night, they did not affect his daily plan.

As usual, he jogged regularly in the rhythm of his heartbeat, ran from the apartment to the outside of the community, and wandered around in front of the library.

The morning wind blows over the face, which is a little cool, just to blow off the heat from exercise.

"Hey, Teacher Shi is still so early today." A short-cut young man who was also jogging in the morning greeted him.

Shi Jing was a teacher before becoming a librarian. In addition to his serious and indifferent appearance, he has a very strict teacher's aura, so his colleagues call him "Teacher Shi".

This kind of address also perfectly solved the embarrassing problem of whether the seniors should be called elder brother or elder sister, so in the end, everyone simply called each other "Teacher XX".

"Morning, Mr. Lian." Shi Jing replied, passing by unhurriedly.

Lian Ping stopped, turned his head, followed Shi Jing and said, "Mr. Shi, have you heard that the old curator is going to be transferred, and the deputy curator has been promoted to a full-time job."

"Oh." Shi Jing has never been interested in gossip.

"I heard that some people followed the old curator, and some positions were vacant." Lian Ping said out of breath. "Mr. Shi, you have performed so well and have enough qualifications. You should also apply for promotion."

"It's impossible for me, you come on." Shi Jing patted him on the shoulder and said, and then accelerated the pace, taking a step first.

Just in time, it was made up in twelve or three seconds.

Shi Jing thought, inexplicably happy.

As for promotion, he had no idea, nor did he think it was possible.Since the second year of his employment, he has applied several times, but in the end he missed them all inexplicably.Either his application form was lost in the middle, or someone stepped in and squeezed him out.

Probably...he was unlucky.

So there's nothing to worry about.Shi Jing's greatest wish in this life is to work in the library, so he gave up his teaching career and moved to the library, planning to spend the rest of his life quietly like this.

Thinking of tranquility, Shi Jing turned his head.

Could it be that Lian Ping has followed?A voice seemed to be following his footsteps...

But he didn't see Lian Ping, let alone anyone. On the street after 6 o'clock, there were only vehicles speeding past occasionally on the main road, and there were no pedestrians.

Shi Jing ran all the way to the downstairs of the apartment, and stopped before he could hear the strange sound like stalking.

"Tick tick tick..."

Like the sound of mechanical clock hands moving?

Shi Jing looked at his wrist.His watch had to be very close to hear the ticking of the hands, but it wasn't it.

So……

What he knew about pointers would sound in his head again, and there was only one thing left.

Shi Jing was walking towards the apartment while thinking, when suddenly someone behind him shouted: "Teacher Shi, be careful!"

Shi Jing's brain tensed up, and when he realized something, his legs and feet that had just been moved moved over to the side very flexibly, and then he looked up at the dangerous thing from the sky.

That is a flower pot.

This is not known how many high-altitude parabolic he encountered.Although the management of the community where the apartment is located is very strict, the property has been checked many times, but the culprit has not been found, which is very strange.

However, today's event is even weirder——

While he was dodging, the voice in his head last night said: "Time stands still."

Then, like a spirit, the flower pot that fell from the sky settled in the air, just floating above his head.

Not just pots.

Taking a closer look, Shi Jing found that the leaves of the small tree downstairs were not shaking anymore.Not far behind, the community security guard who reminded him still maintained the posture of leaning out from the duty room, with a frightened expression on his mouth.

However, outside the gate of the community, vehicles still drove by as usual.

It seems that only the world of this community has stopped.

Except him alone.

He is active!

After seeing the situation clearly, Shi Jing calmly took down the flower pot that was still in the air, and placed it firmly beside the flower bed. Then, as he walked into the elevator, he repeated the question from last night: "Who are you?"

The voice in my head didn't answer.

Shi Jing had no choice but to put it another way: "Which notebook are you?"

Not answering.

"You did it just now?"

Not answering.

Seems to be a temper tantrum.

Shi Jing was not in a hurry, he pressed the elevator, and there was a response.

very good.The elevator goes up, he still has time.

Shi Jing continued to ask: "How to end this state?"

At this moment, the voice in my head finally started to move.

[Time still, release. 】

The elevator happened to arrive, and the door opened. Shi Jing saw the neighbor's mother who got up early in the morning and waited for the elevator to buy breakfast. She smiled at him and said, "Morning, Xiaoshi", and nodded.

Back to normal.

he thinks.

This note is quite obedient.
