Time manager

"I believe you."

Shi Jing reiterated that after seeing Chen Nian's mood eased, he slowly analyzed to him: "But I think your behavior after changing jobs is not a problem with the book and the system, but a psychological sequelae. Of course, in this regard, the system you mentioned must have some responsibility."

"What, what sequelae..." Chen Nian was stunned.

"You said, you will be treated as the same kind by the animals, then, will you treat them as the same kind?" Shi Jing asked.

"This..." Chen Nian hesitated, "When completing the task, there will be a little empathy to help understand the psychology of animals, but I am very clear that I am a human being."

"But now, you're not sure, are you?" Shi Jing observed his expression and said.

"I, I don't know. Apart from that book, I can't think of a reason why I became like this." Chen Nian said dejectedly.

Shi Jing was silent and asked, "How is your job at the zoo?"

"Very good." Chen Nian said yes, but he was listless, "I am very familiar with their habits, I can see what they want to express in every move, so familiar that sometimes I feel that I am also a part of them... "

As he talked, he showed a look of fear.

"Hmm." Shi Jing asked again, "Do you usually interact with them?"

"Yes. I often play games with them."

"How is your diet recently, do you want to eat raw meat?"

"Raw, raw meat? No, I like to cook well-done. Is there any problem with this?" Chen Nian asked worriedly.

"It's nothing." Shi Jing put away the small notebook and said, "Make sure you are carnivorous or herbivorous."

Chen Nian's face turned pale: "..."

"Sorry, I made a mistake." Seeing that he was nervous again, Shi Jing added, "I want to confirm whether the animal you are in charge of is a carnivore or a herbivore."

Chen Nian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm in charge of the lion and tiger park."

Then he questioned Ai Ai and said, "So, I didn't want to eat raw meat, so it means I'm not the same as them, right?"

Shi Jing closed the notebook and nodded solemnly: "Of course, you are simply stressed and anxious. If you have time, go see a psychiatrist. It will be fine if you have some counseling."

"It's useless." Chen Nian smiled miserably, "Do you think I haven't looked for it? My wife found several for me, and none of them believed what I said. Including..."

"My love." He lowered his head and covered his face, as if suppressing his sadness.

"I don't have anyone I can trust anymore. I tell them this and they think I'm crazy."

"..." Shi Jing thought for a while, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back first, don't mention this matter to anyone again. When you gradually forget about it, maybe those strange thoughts will come from your mind Disappeared. If it doesn’t work, come find me again.”

"Then that book..." Seeing that he got up to leave, Chen Nian hurriedly followed him and asked.

"I'll help you find out." Shi Jing said, walked out of the noodle shop, and asked again: "Can you really communicate with any animal?"

Chen Nian: "Huh?"

"Can you understand what cats say with the ability you obtained from that system task?"

"Of course." Chen Nian was a little annoyed again, "Didn't you say you believed me? You don't need to ask!"

"I believe it." Shi Jing said, "So I would like to ask you for a favor."

Chen Nian: "??"

……

Shi Jing returned to the library, and the note that had been silent all this time suddenly said: [Why does the master want to take care of this person's affairs? 】

"How can I say that the book was also transferred to the special collection by me. Besides, we got some useful information, didn't we?"

Shi Jing thought to himself, if the ball of light is the system, then the strange actions of Lian Ping and Li Meng can also make sense.

【What is the master going to do? 】

"Let's figure it out." Shi Jing said casually, and then asked: "Didn't you say that knowing the secret of the light ball would be dangerous?"

But so far it doesn't appear to be.

【Master, when you knew it, you were already in danger...】 said the note weakly.

[I concealed some things before, in fact, the previous managers, after knowing the secret of the light sphere, all made the decision to expel and destroy the light sphere in order to restore the world order, and the result...]

"Failed?" Shi Jing said indifferently.

【Yes.Only the previous manager, after receiving my warning, chose to sit on the sidelines and remain neutral. 】

"So he lost you." Shi Jing said.

"Assuming that what you said is correct, the world has its own laws of operation, then, without the interference of the light sphere, he lost you. Does it also mean that he is not worthy of the position as a manager, so he was naturally eliminated? "

【…】

"Since you judged it dangerous, why didn't you stop us from talking?" Shi Jing asked again.

He has too many questions in his mind.

Suddenly got a note.

Write down your name and become a time manager.

This manager does not need to do anything but be neutral.

But his life has never lacked question marks, so he has long been used to burying them, waiting for the day when they are slowly discovered.

[Because now I finally have enough ability to protect the master. ] After taking notes in silence, he finally answered.

Shi Jing didn't understand.But he also never questioned the good intentions of others.So despite the contradictions in the notes, he still decided to choose to observe.

He walked into the library, just in time to see Lian Ping talking excitedly at the corner of the first floor.

Isn't that girl's tall figure from Li Meng?

"It's really troublesome for you, senior."

"No trouble! No trouble at all! Primary school girl, what books do you need, or if you encounter any troubles in school in the future, just call me!"

"Okay, okay, thank you senior. Then... help me find these books too."

"no problem!"

Shi Jing looked at the two guys with the ball of light, chatting and laughing back and forth, and the light ball of the timeline on his body flickered like a sign.

However, seeing that the communication between the two seemed to be quite pleasant, he didn't bother too much.

17:40

After get off work, as soon as Shi Jing walked out of the library, he saw Chen Nian waiting at the gate, and couldn't help smiling.

He likes people who are punctual.But...he looked like he had been waiting and never left.

"You're not going to work today?"

"I've asked for leave these days." Chen Nian sighed, "How can I work with peace of mind knowing the whereabouts of that book?"

Shi Jing thought the same, and with Chen Nian's ability to communicate with animals, let alone a few days off, even if he resigned and went back, the zoo would probably open its doors to welcome him, so he solemnly said, "I'll leave it to you later."

He wants to see the black cat at home, which manager taught it to secretly catch fish for food—while sitting in the reading room in the afternoon, he received a call from the community security, saying it was his The cat is stealing again!

Didn't that cat hurt its leg? How did it get into the water?

Shi Jing returned home full of questions and the "translator" and found the black cat curled up on the sofa sleeping, with no trace of being in the water at all, so he couldn't help asking: "Did you go out today?"

The black cat woke up and yawned, shaking its head lazily.

"..." Shi Jing was silent for a moment, thinking of another possibility, and said, "Could it be that your orange cat can also go into the water to catch fish?"

The black cat glanced at it, then nodded proudly, with a small expression of "that's needless to say".

"..."

What to do if you want to beat the cat.

But if you beat him up, the cat won't be sucked in the future...

Shi Jing was struggling, and the person behind him said weakly: "That...Mr. Shi, I think you communicate well, so I shouldn't be needed."

Only then did Shi Jing remember the purpose of bringing Chen Nian, and hurriedly said: "It's useful, come here, sit down. Help me ask this cat, who is its owner? What happened?"

……

10 minutes passed.

Chen Nian didn't know whether it was because of displeasure or impatience, he turned around, pointed his fat buttocks at his black cat, and suddenly said, "Mr. Shi, I'm sorry!"

Shi Jing: "??"

Chen Nian hurriedly got up, shook hands with him sincerely and said: "I think what you said is correct! I must have a psychological problem, so I imagined myself as those animals that I communicated with before. Actually, I should have known it earlier. The system will disappear. I communicate with animals now, relying on accumulated experience and skills, not those special abilities, and it is impossible for me to become like them. Thank you, Teacher Shi! If it weren’t for your cat, I would still Caught in your own fantasy."

Shi Jing: "???"

etc!What do you mean, first communicate with me what the cat said, don't go, brother.

"Goodbye Teacher Shi, thank you very much today! I figured it out, just forget about that book if you can't find it!"

"..."

Shi Jing sent people out, returned to the living room, and found that the black cat had stopped carrying people, and slowly returned to the center of the sofa, just like the owner (the cat at home?), circled the cat food, and turned on the remote control device.
