Time manager

What happened to today's notes?No, maybe it started last night.It's not normal for that note, which has been talking about not being able to lose it, to leave it in the thrift store on its own initiative.

Shi Jing pondered all the way, and called out again.

【I am here. ] The note responded briefly.

"Are you still in the shop?" Shi Jing asked.

【Here I am.I am troubleshooting the abnormality of the timeline and need to concentrate, so I temporarily lowered the parameters of the early warning.Don't worry, master, I won't put my master's life in danger. 】

"I'm worried about you." Shi Jing sighed.It's not like he hasn't faced danger alone.

[I'm fine.It's just that something triggered my defenses and I had to go into cover.So from now on, I will not use the ability of time for non-emergency matters, please forgive me, master. 】

"What?" Shi Jing immediately looked around vigilantly.

Could it be that the person in the hotel that Lian Ping mentioned at the beginning has already been found, and has been eyeing the notes?

[Unclear... It is detected that there is a quest line pointing to me.I'm still figuring out where it's coming from. 】

Shi Jing answered, thinking all the way, who would be staring at the notes.

Before he had any clue, he suddenly realized that he was also being targeted - in front of the library door, the door appeared again.

This time it was stuck to the side of the gate, the electronic sound was weak, and it seemed to be boringly counting: [12, 13, 14, ...]

Every time a person enters, the rectangular light array on its body flashes, until it finds the stone mirror, it doesn't count.

Shi Jing pretended not to see it, and like everyone else, entered the museum without looking sideways.

But when he turned his head occasionally, he found that the door followed quietly.It's just that when he saw it, it was as if he had been hit by a freeze spell, and he didn't move immediately.

Shi Jing felt that the mind of this tool was too difficult to guess, even more difficult to guess than the cat's password - Lian Ping said that in the diary, the cat's password seemed to have some clues.

It was only then that Shi Jing remembered that the words in the diary were hidden, how did Lian Ping see it?

"My family has all been cheated." Lian Ping said proudly, "In the mission mode, there are skills to assist. But she didn't mention the specific name, but just gave a reminder. I think you should read the specific content yourself. Better."

He returned the diary with the bookmark to Shi Jing.

Back in the central control room, Shi Jing turned to the bookmark page——

April 12

The cat is gone again!The handsome uncle downstairs brought it back to me again.I have always thought that he is not a bad person. How can a bad person do good deeds and return things to the owner?

But today he asked me what my cat's name is!

Papa said the name was the key to the cat!I must not say it!But if I don't say it, will he be more suspicious?So I told him the cat's nickname: "It's called Dahei and Daju."

Nickname doesn't matter!I call it that every day, anyway, it has nothing to do with the name my father gave me.His name was so stinky and long that I couldn't remember it at all!

But when I came back today, my father was very angry when he found out about it.He said that although the name of Maomao is long, it is enough to have keywords.The key word is related to the color of the cat, otherwise he won't be able to remember it when he gets old!

Hey, I think he's forgotten by now.Since his mother was gone, he has become more and more forgetful.Otherwise he will tell me again like before.So is he getting old?Woooooo I don't want my dad to grow old...

……

black and orange...

Shi Jing thought for a while when he saw this. Although he couldn't test it without the black cat, he always felt that even if it was a key word, Chuhe would not be so straightforward for people to guess.At least if it was him, he would never give such an obvious reminder.

He closed the diary, planning to take his time.Because the door kept humming numbers beside him, and kept jumping around.

If the note is idle, it will definitely remind the door to be hungry again...

Shi Jing took out a pen and paper with some regret, and began to write questions for the door.Today's door was very honest, and disappeared obediently after answering the questions.

When it was lunch break, Shi Jing went downstairs on time, but there was no figure of Zhong Ming at the door of the library.

A full 15 minutes later, Zhong Ming came limping with sweat profusely, looking at Shi Jing with an extremely angry expression. "I just forgot to bring my wallet temporarily, and I was late when I ran back to get it. Is it necessary for you to let me be so unlucky?!"

Shi Jing didn't know what to do. After asking, he found out that he was almost hit by a van on the road. Fortunately, he escaped in time and didn't suffer much injuries, except for a sprained foot.

"I've already warned you. If you don't want bad luck, you must abide by the agreement. Also, it's best not to get too close to me now." Shi Jing said.If the other party fails to keep the agreed time, it will be bad luck.

Of course, he is no exception.

However, he was used to hiding, so it was nothing.

Hearing what he said, Zhong Ming's face changed slightly, he took two steps back, and said with a sigh of relief: "Let's forget this matter first.

He added: "I really have no intention of harming you. If you are worried about your personal safety, you can find a witness."

Shi Jing called Lian Ping unceremoniously.

But then, Zhong Ming didn't take them far, but went to the noodle shop.

The three sat down, he took out a book, pushed it in front of Shi Jing, and said, "Read the book, while reading, think about what you are looking for, and you will find the clue."

Shi Jing took a look, isn't this the book that Zhong Ming borrowed from the library?Unlike the books borrowed by other people, the protagonist of this book has no system, and even looks like a fairy tale book.Because the main character is a little boy.

He read according to what Zhong Ming said, and after a while, he felt that the words in front of him gradually blurred.

He blinked hard, and when he saw it clearly, he found that the scene in front of him had changed. He was not in the noodle shop at this time, but in someone else's living room.

It was like a dream... Shi Jing touched himself, felt it, and then picked up the fruit on the coffee table in the living room. It was edible, and the taste was very real.

The only unreal thing is that he finds himself not in the mirror.

He was wondering where it was when he heard footsteps.The door opened and two people walked in, plus two cats.

Shi Jing was momentarily stunned.

One is because there is nowhere to hide, the living room is too simple, and there is nowhere to hide.

The second reason is that he knew both the person and the cat that came in.

As soon as the orange cat and the black cat rushed into the living room, they suddenly stopped and stared in his direction.

"What's wrong with Dahei?" The little girl picked up the cat, looked left and right, and said suspiciously, "Has a thief entered our house?"

Shi Jing recognized that it was Chu Xiluo!

She ran around, checked all the rooms, and came back to report to her father: "No!"

Then he was sent to do his homework.

And Chuhe, smiling, pushed his daughter away, closed the door of her room, his face suddenly turned cold, he sat on the sofa, unbuttoned the two buttons of his white shirt, looking lazy but full of hostility He snapped his fingers.

"Who are you?" Chuhe said bluntly.

The two cats approached and squatted on the left and right of the owner.

Shi Jing was shocked.

He didn't know whether it was an illusion or reality—everything in front of him was too realistic, but when he wanted to speak, he couldn't speak, this is what often happens in dreams!

But Chuhe still stared at him, and said coldly: "Who sent you here?"

Shi Jing thought for a while, stepped forward and dipped his fingers into the water glass on the coffee table, and wrote: I am time.

If everything here is true, then he can give Chuhe an early warning.

It's just strange that after seeing it, Chuhe became even more indifferent, saying: "You and I don't cross the river, there is nothing to talk about between us."

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and someone shouted, "Chu..."

Chuhe's face became vigilant, and with a quick wave of his hand, the black cat rushed forward.

"You don't want to be implicated by me, you just go."

Shi Jing felt that the visitor's voice seemed to have been heard somewhere, but at this time the space was distorted, and the voice became distorted, making it inaudible.He kept moving away from Chu River and the scene of the living room in a whirl.

Darkness enveloped him, he could neither see nor breathe... His body seemed to be torn apart...

【Time stands still! 】

Shi Jing panted heavily, and found himself back in the noodle shop, still holding the book in his hand.It's just that there is no sound around, and all the people's movements are frozen, and even the heat of the noodle soup on the table remains floating.

Zhong Ming was still staring at him from the opposite side, and Lian Ping was still keeping a vigilant posture beside him.

He walked to the window and looked down, the street downstairs was still bustling.

Sure enough, it was only the noodle shop on this floor that was still.Shi Jing confirmed it, turned around and sat down, and said, "Hour??"

[Master, I found it. 】

"What did you find?"

[Point to my mission line, right here. 】

Shi Jing looked at the books on the table and suddenly understood.

Someone is looking for notes through Bell's lost and found system!

Since it is a lost and found system, the only ones who can issue tasks are those who have lost their things.

For those who have lost their notes, there is only one possibility...

Shi Jing frowned. "The former manager is looking for you??"

【Yes.But I don't understand how he regained his memory.Normally, after losing their position, managers will forget everything and become ordinary people. 】

Have you recovered your memory...

Shi Jing sat down, closed the open book, looked at the bell opposite, and sighed.

"When I was young, did you already know Zhong Ming's identity?"

【Yes, Zhong Ming is my former manager. 】

Shi Jing suddenly understood the abnormality of the previous notes. "So you were avoiding him before?"

[Yes, the former manager has previous memories, which is a threat to us.I can't think of a solution for the time being, so I can only avoid it temporarily. 】

Shi Jing tapped on the book with his fingers, and said with a smile: "At this time, you should ask the master."

【ah!Does the master have a solution! 】

"of course."

This person had recognized the notes a long time ago, but he didn't know, did he recognize that he was the current time manager?

Shi Jing stroked the book, looked at Zhong Ming's eager and crazy eyes, opened it again, and entered the world of the book.
