Time manager

At night, Shi Jing told the story again as usual.Although he had already written it in his notes, the notes expressed his desire to listen to it again.On the mobile phone, the villain at the door also lay down beside the screen, listening very carefully.And Shi Jing fell asleep before finishing speaking again...

He really didn't mean to talk halfway through, it's just the long-term biological clock that made him fall asleep without knowing it.He didn't stay in the Time Sea this time, but tonight's sea water seemed a little unsettled, but the slight ups and downs were like a cradle, and instead became a better hypnotic agent.

Wake up early in the morning, wind and rain.

Although Huaixi has frequent rainfall every year after summer, it mostly happens at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, so early in the morning is rare.But the rain in the morning did bring a wave of coolness.

Shi Jing was on the treadmill, thinking about what happened last night.What will the right hand do next?Burn stolen books?Or use this as a condition to negotiate?

He discussed it with Lian Ping, and Lian Ping said that he had notified everyone on the forum in his dream yesterday, and it was up to them to believe it or not.

"However, since he worked so hard to steal the book and asked you to talk, it should be used as a bargaining chip, right?" Lian Ping pondered.

"Not necessarily." Shi Jing said.The right-hand man always seems to be acting out of common sense.

"Then the books in the library won't be a problem, if that person sneaks into the library..." Lian Ping began to mutter again.

Shi Jing was not worried, there was a door guarding the special collection library.As for the others... Ordinary books are useless if stolen, and books bound to the system are hard to find.

The curator really likes to hoard books!The real collection of books in the library is far more than what is shown on the surface. Even if there are signs, it is difficult to find the scattered ones.

This job can only be done by the library, which books flow out of No. [-] library, the library knows best.

Thinking of this, Shi Jing sent another message to Qin Shi, reminding him to speed up the investigation today.

The rain in the morning didn't last long, and it stopped by the time I got to work.Shi Jing went downstairs, but still separated from Lian Ping.

No reason, it's raining today, he didn't take the weather into consideration, and the road sign plan made for the morning run was invalidated.I don't know what bad luck will happen along the way.

So, to be on the safe side, even though the rain stopped, he still held up an umbrella when he went out, which attracted others to look at him frequently.You probably think he's a weirdo.

Shi Jing ignored other people's opinions and followed his own.On the contrary, the security guard understood his behavior very well, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shi should have done this a long time ago, so if there is any falling object that we didn't see, at least we can buffer it."

What happened to Shi Jing was both sympathetic and a headache. Even if they installed a surveillance camera looking up at the building at the gate post, every time there was a falling object, the equipment always malfunctioned inexplicably. The object has fallen into the air.

Shi Jing also smiled, hugged the cat and continued walking.As soon as I turned the corner and walked into the shade of the sidewalk, a strange wind blew from nowhere, and the remaining rainwater on the leaves splashed down.

Shi Jing's umbrella was held firmly, without any pause, just walking over with the umbrella open.

The wind blew right on top of his head, and passers-by ran away in panic when they saw it, but they were not affected.

After walking a few steps, a car came head-on and passed by quickly. The water on the side of the road was splashed up, unbiased, and it was coming here.

[The master is small... heart. 】

Shi Jing tilted his umbrella quickly, blocking most of the muddy water, and continued on his way calmly.

The note fell silent.Although Shi Jing solved everything by himself, he hated the rain very much, so he quietly stopped the leaves.

After a while, he encountered a construction block on the way and had to make a detour. When he detoured the non-motorized lane, he almost collided with the car again.Passing by the small shop, it happened that someone came out to splash water.This road was like an obstacle course, and even Ping was dumbfounded watching it from behind.

Fortunately, Shi Jing moved quickly, except for the dirty shoes, there was nothing serious.When he arrived at the entrance of the library, he put away his umbrella, took out a tissue to wipe his shoes, and entered the library with his colleagues.

Punch in to work, turn on the computer terminal, the librarians are in place, and readers start to enter.Shi Jing observed everyone's timeline, and it seemed that today was still a day without systematic harassment.

After a while, he received a list reply from Tian Lu.

Sure enough, Dai Li also borrowed the book, seven years overdue, good guy...

But why can't he see his light ball?And judging from his daily performance, Dai Li really didn't look like someone with special abilities or external assistance.

Shi Jing was deeply puzzled, it was impossible for God's perspective to deceive him.Is there no system for the books that Dai Li borrowed?But if it's just an ordinary book, why is it so long overdue?

Shi Jing took the time to call Qin Shi to confirm.

"You mean Mr. Li who often quarrels with the curator? No, I can't see that he has a quest line here, otherwise we wouldn't let him into the curator's office."

So...or is it because the opponent's rank is too high?

However, if he is really just an ordinary reader and there is no special reason, then it is not surprising that the curator personally urges him to return.Shi Jing thought about it, so he could only put it aside and think about the stolen books, especially Wang Gu's book, was it also stolen by that person last night?

Since it was related to the book, of course the first one was to find Boss Yang.Since the old man returned to the library, he seems to have taken over the curator's business, and he likes to walk up and down.

The librarians seemed to be more afraid of him.

Shi Jing asked Lian Ping strangely, this guy looked around cautiously, and then whispered: "Mr. Shi doesn't know, squinting eyes are all monsters!"

Shi Jing: "..." What kind of strange knowledge is this!

He laughed and said: "I only know that the curator is presbyopic, and he squints when he doesn't wear glasses."

Lian Ping: "..."

He was dubious, and when the curator appeared, he took a closer look and found that the old man was not wearing glasses.The squinted eyes really looked like they couldn't see clearly.He relaxed until Shi Jing beckoned him over.

Boss Yang came over and came to Lian Ping, and said cheerfully, "What's the matter, Teacher Shi?"

Lian Ping: "..."

Shi Jing invited him to sit down inside, and said, "You are always in charge of the books. If the books are lost, is there a way to find them?"

"If you have the title of the book, you can find it with some effort. However, I don't think you need the old man, those books that are bound to the system, hehe, it's best to ask the host." Boss Yang said.

Shi Jing then contacted Wang Gu.

The man agreed to come at noon, but he was 2 minutes late.

"Sorry, I did some tasks along the way." Wang Gu said.

"..." This person is really good, and he will brush up the progress as soon as he meets.

"Can your system locate books? To be honest." Shi Jing asked.

"Well, I do...know where it is." Wang Gu said with a tingly scalp, "But I don't have the confidence to get it back. That person seems invisible. I can't even notice his existence, and the book is gone. I'm afraid... …if he's going to kill me, no one will know."

Shi Jing narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where is the book?"

17:50

Shi Jing looked at the dilapidated shack in front of him.

It took them a long time to arrive at this place by car. It was already deviated from the city center. It seemed to be an area to be developed. The surrounding area was deserted, and the scattered buildings stood in a forest like unfinished buildings, uninhabited.

This hut should have been used by construction workers before, but there is no one there now.Shi Jing saw no one from God's perspective.

On the side of the road over there, Lian Ping stood far away.

Shi Jing's hands trembled when he received his message: Do you really not want to help?

Shi Jing simply replied: You will be unlucky.

He just came here directly, and he also wanted to use luck to suppress the other party, but he didn't expect it to be empty, and there was no one here.So he also had to be careful not to be fooled by his bad luck.

He walked towards the shed that Wang Gu pointed him to, and found that the door was ajar, and there was no one in the room, it was pitch black.

【Master, don't go in, I always think this house will collapse...】 said the note.

Time stands still.

Shi Jing turned on the phone's lighting and resolutely entered the house.Sure enough, there are... a lot of books.

a lot of!

There are so many hills piled up.

If it was stolen, it probably didn't start last night, I'm afraid it's a habitual offender.

Shi Jing sighed, picked up a book and opened it. The book was a little wet and difficult to turn.It rained heavily this morning, this house has been unoccupied for a long time, the doors and windows are not closed, water has entered, and the books piled here are quite wet.

Pity……

Shi Jing looked around the pile of books and found the lost book that Lian Ping had mentioned to him.

【Master, I have a bad feeling.Let's get out now. 】The note said eagerly.

Shi Jing found it strange that there was actually nothing in the shed. When the workers left, they should have taken everything away. There was only a pile of books in the middle of such a big room.

According to past experience, he had no doubt that the house would collapse, but it didn't matter.

He patted the wall of the house, superimposed a single still, and then walked back to the pile of books.

The pile of books is very high, and Shi Jing's description of it as a hill is not an exaggeration, because the pile of books is much taller than him.If there is danger, then it can only come from this pile of books.

[How can books be dangerous? 】The note is puzzled and authentic.

"Then let time prove it." Shi Jing said, "Release the stillness of time."

It was difficult to see the flow of time in the empty shed, but the sound of the needle continued to sound, and Shi Jing knew it was back to normal.

He went around the pile of books, picking up one from time to time, as if he was checking something.After turning 180 degrees, he actually found Wang Gu's book.

It's just that the book is sandwiched in the middle, and it seems to be a little heavy.Shi Jing pulled out abruptly.

The mountain of books crashed down.Shi Jing was also smashed a few times, but what he was more concerned about was that he didn't take out the book written by Wang Gu!

No, it's not that it didn't come out, but someone took the other end!

The light of the timeline appeared in the chaotically fallen book!

Shi Jing immediately put the book into the arms of the invisible person in a stalemate position, turned around and dumped it on the pile of books, waved the note with his right hand, estimated the back of the person's head, tapped it, and then smoothly Put it still.

The time note is a metal casing. Although it has a cover, this note is not light, and the man fell down immediately.

Then Shi Jing struggled, walked out from the suspended state, landed firmly on the ground, patted his clothes, and looked at the timeline of the lodging state.

Strangely, he thought it was because he was dazzled by the book, but now he found that he really couldn't see this person.
