The Midnight Owl - Chapter 179

Xu Wang pulled the life-saving benefactor into the office, slammed the door, and pointed out the window: “You can see it too!”

Wu Sheng highlighted the owl icon on his arm: “I still have this.”

“I have it too!” Xu Wang just wanted to hold him and cry, the kind of joy he met when he met his compatriots in a foreign country.

“Don’t get excited,” Wu Sheng patted his shoulder. “Tell me about the situation.”

Xu Wang told his whole story with his brain, but the timeline of this matter was too chaotic, and he was hard to be unexcited, so he could n’t hear it anymore, and he could n’t hear it anymore, just like the code was clearly sorted. The vegetables made me a rock salad.

The life-saving benefactor heard from the beginning and did not say a word. Xu Wang estimated that people didn’t know where to ask questions at all and were embarrassed to interrupt him.

“That, you give me a minute to slap,” Xu Wang shook his head, trying to calm himself down, “I will tell you again …”

“Is there something missing?” Wu Sheng asked.

“Ah, it should be gone …” Xu Wang was a little embarrassed, “It’s just that I’m too chaotic, I’m afraid you …”

“It’s not chaotic, it’s clear.” Wu Sheng’s eyes were clear. “You have lost your memory, experienced two time resets, once you were killed, and once you dragged the door to call the police, but there was no actual danger. It all happened at 12:04, the number outside the window was reduced from 13 to 11, there was a strange owl picture on the arm, and the message ‘Living After 4:44’. “

“How did you sum it up …” Xu Wang now looked at the life-saving benefactor’s eyes like learning to look at the great god.

Wu Sheng likes the recognition and admiration in the other person’s eyes. For the first time, amnesia shows a real smile: “Because I am like you, I am also amnesia. I also experienced two time resets, and I can see it. The only difference between the number and the arm information outside the window is that I have n’t died. Both times are the same as yours the second time, and I reset it as soon as I shake the god. “

The solitary fighting suddenly turned hand in hand, and the life-saving benefactor made people feel very secure. Xu Wang’s panic was slowly replaced by huge questions: “Why is this? Is this a variation?”

“It’s not clear yet.” Wu Sheng glanced down at his watch at 12:09. “It is known that 12:04 is a key node. We have successfully spent it, and we will see what happens next.”

“Next?” Xu Wang tightened his heart. “Do you mean that there will be danger next?”

“Of course,” Wu Sheng said, “if it is safe all the way, ‘live after 4:44 pm’ there is no reason to be a test question.”

“Exam questions?” The idea of ​​the life-saving benefactor was too difficult to keep up with.

“Oh, this is just a metaphor for me.” Wu Sheng opened the owl in his arm and said, “Look, there are rosters, stationery boxes, cheat sheets, and transcripts. There are four items, including rosters and transcripts. It’s all blank. There is only one sentence in the cheat sheet: ‘Living past 4:44 pm’. There are many things in the stationery box. The prefixes are ‘Defense’, ‘Wu’, and ‘Magic’. Doesn’t it look like a game prop? “

“It’s a bit …” Xu Wang didn’t expect that there are so many ways in the owl. He only read the sentence, and he didn’t look anywhere else, and every time after four minutes, the mad boyfriend of the clerk came, and he was too late. Think more.

“I haven’t clicked, I don’t know what effect they can cause, but there are rosters, stationery boxes, transcripts. In my opinion, this is an exam,” Wu Sheng continued. “The copybook should have written the answer. , But it should be closer to some kind of prompt here. “

Xu Wang remembered the first few crisp “dings”, which were indeed very similar to the prompts of a mobile phone.

Wu Sheng smiled and straightened up: “I guess, for reasons that are difficult to explain, the two of us were chosen to take this exam, and the test question was” Live 4:44 PM “…”

“During this period, the mysterious power behind this exam will set us up with various obstacles. Once we fail, the time will be reset. The number outside the window is the number of times we can fail, that is, you and I share 13 opportunities … … “

“Once the number is zero, we will face nothing, and no one knows, but if possible, I still like to win the challenge and take a hundred points to hit the face of the exam organizer …”

Breathing lightly, he carefully looked into Xu Wang’s eyes: “The next is the most important part, we must find out the trigger condition for the time reset. The first time is your death, what is the second time?”

Xu Wang also looked at him seriously, just watch without talking.

Wu Sheng was stunned, and some aftertaste came: “Is it too much that I said in one breath, but it is not so complicated …”

“Brother,” Xu Wang grabbed one hand of the life-saving benefactor and held it tightly with both hands. “You tell me the truth, did you lie to me? In fact, you have no memory loss, you know everything …”

Time 12:17. Trance, caught off guard.

“Tuk Tuk.”

Xu Wang recovered from the knock on the door, and the palm of his hand seemed to retain the temperature of his life-saving benefactor.

Time 12:00

The number outside the window becomes “10”.

After half a minute, the female clerk put down the coffee for the fourth time.

After a minute and a half, Wu Sheng rushed into the office and gasped: “No, there are others taking this exam!”

…

15th floor, XX pet grooming center.

“Wang Wang! Wang Wang–“

“Lin Lin, why is it always called …” He didn’t know where he was going wrong, but he had to rely on the name tag on his chest to remember his and his colleagues’ names.

It’s not appropriate to say “remember”, his head is still blank, and he just temporarily remembered the two names he saw.

Kuang Jinxin is written on his brand.

The girl next to him calming the dog, named Lin Lin, looked two years younger than him.

The Golden Retriever who is enjoying the service is supposed to be docile, but it is very fierce. Lin Lin has been appeasing it, and it is still restless.

“I’m pregnant. I’m the most sensitive when I’m numb.” Lin Lin touched Jin Mao’s head, soothing gently.

Kang Jinxin put down the pet comb: “Well, almost.”

Lin Lin was stunned, crying and laughing: “You only combed twice.”

“Ah?” Kuang Jinxin tilted his head blankly. “But I think it’s been a long time.”

Jin Mao suddenly jumped off the beauty station and ran out.

An employee passed by, stopped the dog, and coaxed for a long time before coaxing the dog to let him carry it back.

Kuang Jinxin looked at Jin Mao who was lying on the beauty station again, and was at a loss.

If he remembers correctly, the dog has ran out three times, and every time the employee happened to pass by, it was so strange.

“What are you stupid about.” Lin Lin took his pet comb and got busy.

Kang Jinxin looked around the beauty room, with walls on all four sides, no windows, only a glass door, and the company’s logo was kept airtight.

It is estimated that this room is a bit boring, Kang Jinxin thought, so I had the inexplicable illusion.

…

16th floor, XX brand design studio.

Dummy models can be seen everywhere, all kinds of fabrics are messy, designers are busy running, the ceiling lights seem to be broken, the master of the property is sitting on the ladder for maintenance. In short, it is a hot work scene.

A beautiful man sits in a corner. Although it is an open office area, it can be seen that the space around him is relatively larger and more independent.

He wasn’t busy, but turned the chair half a circle and looked out the window. Although he frowned, his posture was leisurely, which was in stark contrast to the hard-working staff.

“Chief Director, this is the theme of the next season, you have a look.” Staff sent to plan.

The pensive man, without looking back, is still trapped in his own aesthetic system: “Which company’s countdown advertisement is this?”

“Huh?” The employee was unclear.

“It’s ugly.” The man didn’t need the staff to answer, he gave a sincere evaluation.

Employees follow the leader to look out of the window, blue sky and white clouds, how can there be any advertising.

Chi Yingxue no longer looked at the big and ugly red “11”, turned back to his chair, and his eyes fell on the planning case.

This is the third time he has received the same plan.

Sure enough, it was a dream.

Only in his dreams can he remember a blank space, and his employees repeat what they have done over and over again.

There are extra tattoos on the arms.

Regardless of design or color, they are too far away from “beauty”. The only advantage is that they can be opened, which is quite strange.

But since it is a dream, there is no need to restrain yourself-the dog barking downstairs makes him have a headache.

When the employee sent the plan for the second time, he asked about it, and there was a pet grooming center downstairs.

“What kind of pet grooming is in the building …” He mumbled and got up, and went straight out. If you want to get a good night’s sleep and have a peaceful dream, this requirement is not high and should be satisfied.

The employees were left aside, recalling the “I’m going to find fault” just after the leader’s face, and didn’t dare to shout that leaving back.

The messy office area allowed Chi Yingxue to walk around from the work station to the doorway, and was almost hit by the pliers that fell on the maintenance worker’s ladder. Fortunately, he flashed flexibly.

Only one floor down, he was too lazy to wait for the elevator and went straight up the stairs.

On the stairs, a group of security guards was holding a man down. It was estimated that they would not take the elevator because of fear of bad influence.

He was not in a hurry, civilization gave way.

When the man passed by him, he suddenly broke free from the security guard and came to strangle him.

He didn’t know if the other party was in a hurry, and he was really confident that he could hold him with his bare hands. Anyway, he didn’t give the other party a chance, kicked him down, and scared the security guard enough. The police came.

In fact, he kept his energy. To kick it, the other party had to roll down the stairs.

After making such a trip, and then going downstairs, there was no anger, how can I know that the dog barking is more fierce, and the hearing is more real, and he has caught his headache.

Ignoring the front desk, he went straight to the beauty salon, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw two people and a dog.

Moreover, Jin Xin and Lin Lin were stunned.

Jin Mao suddenly jumped down, fluttering on the lap of Chi Yingxue’s legs, and sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail.

Chi Yingxue was inexplicable.

Kuang Jinxin smiled and said, “It likes you.”

Chi Yingxue always felt that this voice was very kind, but the brain in his dream was really useless. He seriously looked at each other and forgot why he came, he said: “Where have we seen it?”

His eyes were fixed on Kuang Jinxin’s face, which was too obvious, so that Lin Lin next to him would have saved himself even if he was wrong, and he was very happy.

Kuang Jinxin was a little ignorant, and then scratched his head, asking with a little uncertainty: “Brother, are you talking to me?”

Chi Yingxue hadn’t answered yet, and struck them at the same time in a trance.

…

Top floor, 12:00.

“Total money! If the money is gone, you can make it again. If you are gone, you are really gone–“

In the noisy cries, Qian Ai’s vision gradually became clear. He stepped on the edge of the outer periphery of the top floor, behind him was the abyss, and in front of him was a man dressed as a security guard. Shout.

“Mr. Qian! Think about how much it hurts to fall! The powder is smashed, and people become meat patties–“

meat pie? Xianghe … Meatloaf?

What time is it, still want to eat!

He despised himself fiercely in his heart.

But soon he found out that he was wrong. He remembered Xianghe meatloaf, Sichuan skewers, Northeast chaos stew, Beijing roast duck and so on, but he couldn’t remember who he was and why he stood here.

“Mr. Qian–“

“The nickname is mourning!” He couldn’t hold it anymore, and the wind on the top floor was so strong that he was prone to stumble when he was so howled.

“Who am I?” He was eager to know the problem.

“Total money!”

“full name!”

“Ding–“

“Qian Ai, Cao Ai.”

“Who am I?”

“The CEO of the commerce company, we are working on our tenth floor!”

“Ding–“

“Can you turn off your broken phone first!”

“This is not the ringtone of my mobile phone …” The security guard was crying. In order to persuade the suicide boss to come down, he was really painstaking. Even if the other party pretended to be crazy, he would cooperate with him. What else!

He hoped that the money would always be amnestic, at least he would never commit suicide again!

“Mr. Qian, think about your family, think about your wife, think about your children, stay in Qingshan, and don’t be afraid of no firewood …”

“Wife? Child?” Qian Ai was puzzled. “Am I?”

“…” The security guard said so smoothly, such a chore, how could he know.

The air was suddenly quiet, and an anxious voice came from the security intercom: “Come on the third floor, come on the third floor, someone is making trouble!”

Qian Ai sighed and decided to come down from such a dangerous place first. No matter whether the security guard said it was true or false, anyway, he didn’t want to die at all now, even if he really went bankrupt, then he would climb from where he fell.

The security guard had just pressed the intercom and wanted to report on his situation. Yu Guang suddenly caught Qian Ai raising a leg.

He was breathless and rushed over regardless of his body!

Qian Ai’s eyes widened and he watched the security guard rushing towards himself in panic. At the moment the security guard hugged his leg, he suddenly felt a trance …

“Total money! If the money is gone, you can make it again. If you are gone, you are really gone–“

Qian Ai was standing on the outer rim, his figure wobbled slightly, and there was a subtle sense of unreality.

He seems to have heard this?

“Mr. Qian! Think about how much it hurts to fall! The powder is smashed, and people become meat patties–“

He also heard this …

“Mr. Qian, think about your family, think about your wife, think about your children, stay in Qingshan, and don’t be afraid of no firewood …”

There is a problem, definitely a problem, either he is crazy or the security is crazy.

Behind the security guard was the door going downstairs, with a touch of red reflected on the door glass.

He ghostly turned his head back, and in the air, a blood-red “12”.

“Come on the third floor, come on the third floor, someone is making trouble!”

The voice of the walkie-talkie drew back Qian Ai’s attention.

Fragmentary clips flashed through his mind, walkie talkie, third floor, security guard, flew over … flew over?

Qian Ai was shocked by the memory clip, so shocked that he was a bit unstable, and the sudden strong wind made him shake even more.

“Mr. Qian!” The security guard was overwhelmed with panic, rushing over regardless of his body!

“……”Again? !

The moment the legs were hugged, the dizziness did not come as expected. Qian Ai was stunned for a moment, but in the next second, he leaned back and fell out of the roof.

The security guard threw too hard, hugged his legs, but knocked down the person. He didn’t wait to tighten his arms, and the person was out.

In fact, even if he tightened his arms, he couldn’t keep a big man.

Dizzy, trance, 12:00.

“Total money! If the money is gone, you can make it again. If you are gone, you are really gone–“

“Shut up! Shut up! You can’t move!” Qian Ai struck like a rainbow three times, and the Flash went down from the outer edge, and ran to the center of the roof in one breath.

Halfway outside the building, the **** “12” became “11”.

“Mr. Qian, did you figure it out ?!” The security guard was almost excited and his voice changed.

“Nonsense!” Qian Ai wiped his head, no matter whether there was cold sweat there, “I don’t want to let you go again!”

“Ah?” The security guard looked innocent.

Qian Ai wanted to give him a stick.

The wind blew across the top floor, making Qian always calm down a little bit: “Your walkie talkie should ring.”

The security guard didn’t understand. After a few seconds, the intercom really sounded: “Come on the third floor, come on the third floor, someone is making trouble!”

The security guard looked at him miraculously, and responded to the other side: “Okay, here it is.”

At the door, when Qian Ai didn’t move, she asked, “Mr. Qian, let’s go together?”

Qian Ai shook his head: “Buy yours.”

The worry in the eyes of the security guard is back.

Qian Ai rolled his eyes: “Relax, I’ll blow and smoke, I’ll just jump if I want to die.”

As soon as the security guard thought about it, he rushed into the intercom again, and after two words, he left.

Qian Ai acknowledged that he was really crouching on the top floor, smoking two cigarettes, and then—not thinking about anything.

This situation is too weird, completely unscientific, and even more clueless.

Take out your phone and check it out, 12:15.

With a sigh, he got up and went back to the building. The man said that he was working on the 10th floor. Maybe he returned to the company and remembered something.

The 22nd floor of the building reached the top. He stood in front of the elevator door on the top floor and waited for a while before the elevator arrived.

At 12:17, the elevator opened slowly on the 10th floor.

Qian Ai went out, and when he saw the words of the trading company, he felt a headache in the back of his head, and his eyes were instantly dark.

At the last moment before losing consciousness, Qian Ai judged with flesh instincts-brick.
