[Comprehensive] There is a problem in this world

In the third month of studying in the United States, Zhong Zixing unfortunately discovered that the water pipe in the bathroom of the house he rented cheaply was broken.

At first she didn't hear the sound of the water pipe bursting - she was cracking eggs in front of the cooking table, when suddenly the doorbell rang behind her, and a refreshing young voice squeezed through the noise and entered her ears.

"Hello, I'm Peter from downstairs, uh..." Seems to be looking at the name on the doorbell, "Miss Zhong? There seems to be something wrong with the plumbing in your house. Water seeps from the ceiling of my bathroom. Do you need my help somewhere?"

Zhong Zixing: ... Could it be more unlucky?

The house is located in Queens, not too close to the school, but Zhong Zixing is used to getting up early and doesn't mind getting up early to go to school every morning, and the neighbors around are very friendly, and the price charged by the landlord is not high-the last point is especially important.

It was so important that Zhong Zixing was so moved that he ignored the worrying quality of the house.

"Sorry, sorry, please wait for me!" Putting down the half-stirred egg bowl, Zhong Zixing wiped off a hand of water droplets on the apron, took off the apron and threw it on the sofa.

Before opening the door, I turned around and glanced at the room. It was very good, fairly clean, and there was nothing strange or strange that could not be seen.

"Hello...Miss Zhong." Outside the door, a young man dressed at home was stunned when he saw her, and subconsciously pulled out a shy smile.

"Just call me Poser. I'm sorry I didn't notice, I caused you trouble." Zhong Zixing quickly flattened some wrinkled cuffs, while calculating how much it would cost to repair the water pipes. American emperor's labor is notoriously expensive, Should she teach herself how to fix plumbing orz.

This boy named Peter doesn't look very old, but due to his racial advantage, he is already taller than her. He should have rushed up after discovering the water leak. His hair was wet and dripping, and he was wearing a large T-shirt. Below are, uh, pink pajama pants all over Hello Kitty.

... Zhong Zixing looked away as if nothing had happened, and happened to meet Peter's gaze.

Peter's face suddenly flushed.

He coughed dryly, turned around quickly, put one hand on his hips, and raised his forehead hair with the other hand, without squinting, "Anyway, you know, just come to me if you need help."

"...Okay." Zhong Zixing decided to pretend that he didn't see anything.

Due to his unfamiliarity with the place of life and the fact that he had never expected to encounter such an emergency before, Zhong Zixing still had a hard time dealing with it.

After thinking about it, she added: "Do you know how to contact the workers who repaired the water pipes?"

"Well, Aunt Mei has a phone number, I can look for it for you." Peter waved at her awkwardly, his eyes did not meet her life and death, Zhong Zixing wondered if he had to wait for him to change into a handsome clothes before coming up to them Only then can we have a good conversation. "Wait for me! I'll be right back!"

Watching Peter rush down the stairs in a hurry, Zhong Zixing looked around for a while, closed the door, and planned to deal with her breakfast again.

Today's class is not too full, so she can comfortably fry eggs and cut salad. Usually, she tore a sandwich in her mouth and rushed to school, fearing that she would lose her attendance points if she was late for a second.

As soon as he took a step, Zhong Zixing's eyes suddenly blurred.

There was a sharp pain in her temple like a needle prick, her heart seemed to be clenched, and it suddenly constricted. She staggered and almost fell to the ground. She hurriedly supported the sofa to hold on and did not fall directly.

Standing where he was, panting heavily, and calmed down for a while, Zhong Zixing's vision gradually became clear.

Looking up at the mirror on the wall, the girl in the mirror was as pale as a ghost.

... Did she suddenly suffer from some terminal illness? ? ?

"Perther?"

Peter moved quickly, and came back to knock on the door not long after. Zhong Zixing could only open the door with Xizi holding her heart. Fortunately, the symptoms subsided quickly, and she didn't have to hold her chest before she reached the door.

She looked down at the doorknob—

Then froze.

The doorknob becomes a mosaic.

Yes, a mosaic, or to be precise, it changes from a round object to a small cube, the color is still the color of the doorknob, but all the details are stripped away by the shape of the cube.

It looks like a raised mosaic on the door of a pile of mosaics...

and many more.

Zhong Zixing stared at the mosaic with disbelief.

She turned her head to look at the room in bewilderment.Unsurprisingly, in her room—the curtains are made of mosaics, the sofa is made of mosaics, and the eggs on the cooking table are made of brightly colored mosaics—everything within her sight has become a square mosaic, leaving only She herself looks delicate and exquisite, which is wrong with the whole world's painting style.

It's as if she has strayed into an 80s pixel game, and she has a movie-level picture quality, and her every move is like a real person.

...Wait, is she a real person? ? ?

Think about that Disney animated movie that happened in the game, and then think about that movie where the main character is being chased by Pac-Man...

So are aliens invading Earth now?

Zhong Zixing is a bit square.

"Perther? Are you okay?" Peter's voice sounded worried.

"I'm fine... fine."

Zhong Zixing was awakened by his knock on the door, turned around tremblingly, and put his hand on the square doorknob.

She was a little uneasy, a little uneasy, a little flustered, for fear that she would see Mario bouncing around as soon as she opened the door.

Stretching out his hand and twisting it, Zhong Zixing heard a soft "poof".

She bowed her head.

The doorknob was just pulled off by her.

Zhong Zixing: "..."

Zhong Zixing: "?????"

She stared at the doorknob in her hand, not the mosaic in her hand. If the door panel is a flat plate with many mosaics piled up, then the protruding mosaic on the doorknob obviously does not fit well with the whole, and it is easy to fall off...

What a ghost!Why is the doorknob easily unscrewed!Thinking so, she slapped the door—

"Clatter." A frightening voice rang out when Zhong Zixing slapped the door door angrily.

Dead silence.

A second later, the mosaics piled up into the door panels splashed all over the floor. Several cubes bounced on the ground a few times and rolled to the other side of the aisle. Peter outside the door was still knocking on the door. Zhong Zixing couldn't see him. Are you frightened, because——

The speculation came true.

Zhong Zixing looked indifferent.

It is completely composed of mosaics, the whole head is a mosaic, and the facial features are compressed into strange two-dimensional images. Peter, who looks like a Lego, slowly closes his wide mouth, and his eyes switch back and forth between the mosaics and Zhong Zixing. , After a long while, he opened his mouth in a whisper.

"...Did you just get this power?"

"Please please don't be scared and don't call the police I really don't know anything—"

Fortunately, there was no one in the corridor, Zhong Zixing couldn't hide his embarrassment, so he could only nod indiscriminately, at a loss.

Mosaic Peter patted Zhong Zixing on the shoulder comfortingly—specifically, a mosaic hand touched Zhong Zixing, and then helped Zhong Zixing sweep the mosaics that were rolling everywhere into the house, "Don't worry, I won't control it at first, Just practice more, and I can help you."

"???" Zhong Zixing was too surprised to speak.

Can everyone in this world see the mosaic?

"But you... this door is so neatly broken." Peter held up a mosaic with a strange expression, "How did you do it?"

Oh...that doesn't sound like it.

Zhong Zixing took the mosaic blankly: "I think I have to put them back together."

"Uh..." Peter glanced at the mosaics hesitantly, "Does it work? They're already broken."

Zhong Zixing picked up the two mosaics, aligned them together, and handed the two mosaics to Peter, with an expressionless face the whole time.

"..." Peter paused for a long time, his eyes widening.

"This is really... amazing!" Finally he admitted to give up, but his eyes staring at Zhong Zixing sparkled, as if the fan girl saw Captain America, small stars visible to the naked eye shot out from his eyes and hit Zhong Zixing's face . "How did you do it! Is this your unique ability! God, it's so enviable. I also want to have this ability, which can not only destroy but also repair..."

Zhong Zixing: "...???"

Wait, isn't this phenomenon super weird?Why do you look so familiar?Is there something wrong with this world? ? ?

Peter put a mosaic in her hand and said solemnly, "Let's start."

Zhong Zixing: "...Monkey."

Just think of building blocks hahahaha, who hasn't played it yet hahaha.

... Zhong Zixing felt that she needed to be quiet.

They worked together to put the mosaic back on the door frame, and a few minutes later, a door that was not very smooth and had strange color blocks reappeared in the door frame.

Holding the mosaic of the doorknob in his hand, Peter hesitated: "...This door doesn't look very easy to open."

Zhong Zixing said that it doesn't matter: "It will still collapse next time I go out." If she can still break the door with one palm at that time.

"So you have to learn to control it," Peter looked at her seriously, "otherwise it's just maintenance costs..."

Having said that, there was a look of heartache on his face-although it looked a little funny because the five sense organs were crowded on the same plane-he obviously had a deep understanding of this.

Zhong Zixing, who was already ready to understand deeply, nodded in embarrassment.

The doorknob was reattached to the door, and Peter stood in front of the door, guiding Zhong Zixing to put his hand on the doorknob gently, "Slow down, be gentle, use the same strength as for reagents..."

Following his instructions, Zhong Zixing gently turned the doorknob.

The doorknob was unscrewed again as expected.

"..."

Peter rested his forehead and sighed, "Okay, let me demonstrate to you."

She's going to have a fight with the doorknob today, isn't she... It's almost time for class orz

Silently counting the time, Zhong Zixing obediently stepped out of the doorknob, and saw Peter's mosaic hand on the doorknob, and then.

"Click" sound.

The doorknob was easily removed.

Peter: "..."

Zhong Zixing: "..."

...how about a demonstration?How about being gentle?And how can you pick the doorknob empty-handed? ? ?
