Zhang Zian’s mind was in a half-confused state. The work in the store was done by his body’s conditioned reflexes. He seemed to be in a state of absent-mindedness and did not look at the person standing at the door carefully. He was sure that it wasn’t the staff who knocked on the door, because if the staff came to the store, their first choice would be to go through the window on the second floor. They didn’t know when he would open the door.

When he heard this familiar clear voice, a certain nerve in his mind jolted, and he finally brought part of his attention back to reality.

The shutter door was gradually pulled up, and when his gaze first fell on her legs, he could not help but be stunned.

The sewage had just receded to the level of the steps at the door, and the height was at least no higher than an adult’s ankle. Some low-lying areas were even higher than the calf. Wang Qian and Li Kun had waded in the water in shorts and sandals just now.

It was too early, and most enterprises and institutions were on holiday today, so the streets were empty with only a few people. Occasionally, one or two off-road vehicles with high chassis drove by, stirring up the water on the street. If someone happened to pass by nearby, it would be bad luck.

The girl standing on the steps was not wearing sandals like Wang Qian and Li Kun. Instead, she was wearing over-the-knee socks and leather shoes. The problem was … Her socks and shoes were all dry, without any water stains.

Even if she came here by car, it was unlikely that she would drive the car to the curb and then drive all the way to the door of the shop, right? Which family’s young miss would receive such treatment?

Besides, he didn’t see any cars.

Of course, it would make sense if the car had stopped at the door and left after dropping her off, but how could she be so sure that he would open the door so early? If he didn’t open the door, wouldn’t she have to stay on the steps and not be able to go anywhere?

As the curtain Door was pulled up, he saw her clothes. It was a sailor suit of unknown material, which was also dry. The sky had not cleared yet, and there would be a few drops of rain occasionally.

Seeing this sailor suit, he immediately thought of the junior high school girl who owed him money in the teahouse in hidden fog. At that time, she had disappeared inexplicably, which made him, old time tea, and Fati puzzled. But later, they couldn’t find her, so they had to leave it be.

He blurted out,”you’re here to pay back the money?”

“Pfft, hahaha! It’s impossible to return the money. Once the money goes into my pocket, don’t think about coming out again!” She laughed so hard that she bent over.

The shutter door was completely raised, and he was stunned again when he saw her face.

“What’s wrong? There’s mud on my face that I haven’t wiped off?” She used the back of her hand to rub her face.

It wasn’t good to keep staring at the young girl’s face. Zhang Zian looked away after a glance and said,””How should I put it … You look a little familiar. It’s like I’ve seen you before.”

“Pfft! Didn’t you see him in the teahouse in hidden fog?” She said with a smile.

“I didn’t mean it that way …” He corrected.

“So you’ve brushed past me in the past?” She added.

“This …” He muttered.

He had not seen her face in the teahouse in hidden fog, and today was the first time he had seen her. The familiarity he had mentioned was not because they had met once, but … How should he put it? it was as if he had seen the shadow of another person in her?

When the neighbors with their children went out for a walk and met other neighbors, the other party would often exchange a few words with them.”Oh, so this is your son. His nose and mouth really look like yours!”

There might have been a certain element of politeness in it, but it wasn’t completely nonsense. It was just a similar feeling.

Her facial features or the shape of her face looked like someone he knew, but he couldn’t recall which facial features or who she looked like at the moment.

In that case, perhaps he knew her elder.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. You said you’re here to help … Or to work? You’re not an adult yet, are you?” Zhang Zian changed the topic. He didn’t dwell on the issue of looks, since it didn’t make much sense.

Because Jiang Feifei intended to go to San Francisco to learn the daily work of the ocean mansion live and strive for a period of internship opportunities, Zhang Zian considered that the staff in the store was a little tight, so he posted the information of hiring workers on the internet. He had received some calls and applications in recent days, but he had not found anyone he was satisfied with.

He thought that she was also here to apply for a job.

She put on a stern face and said through gritted teeth,””It’s impossible for me to work. I get angry when I talk about working. I used to help out at my family’s shop and do similar work as the shop assistants. The shop assistants could buy whatever they wanted with their salaries, but I could only get a new set of training questions as a reward. I really want to strangle him …”

“Then you’re really unlucky …” Zhang Zian sympathized with her.”But if you’re not here to work, then what are you here for?” I have something to do today, so I’m not open for business. ”

“I told you, I’m here to help. By the way, where’s Galaxy?”

Without waiting for his invitation, she walked into the store.

Zhang Zian was stunned again. He didn’t even have time to stop her and ask her how she knew Galaxy. Those who knew Galaxy’s name were all employees or acquaintances in the store, and he had never seen her before.

At this time, Galaxy ran out from the depths of the shop happily,”meow~”

“Oh, oh! Galaxy, raise it high!”

She naturally picked up Galaxy, raised it over her head, and turned around.

The F * ck?

Zhang Zian was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off. He wasn’t even that shocked when the Elfins disappeared.

After a year of hard work, he had finally managed to make Galaxy no longer afraid. He could even touch it carefully on rare occasions. But this junior high school student who he had never met before had picked up Galaxy so easily?

What shocked him the most was that Xinghai didn’t show any signs of fear when she held it. Instead, it was very happy, as if it was very familiar with her hug.

“Wait … Wait … Wait! How can you carry Galaxy?” He stammered as he asked, his brain almost fried.

She pretended to be confused and tilted her head.”Why can’t I hold it? After all, I’m its master. ”

“Ha? You’re its master?”

Zhang Zian couldn’t describe his feelings at this time. The sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.

“You’re its master … Schrodinger is actually a large loli?”

He was almost going crazy.

Could it be that he had unknowingly transmigrated to the two-dimensional world of Fusang where everything was a mother? Other than King Arthur and the other famous people, even Schrodinger can’t escape?

“Pfft, hahahahahaha! What are you thinking?”

She laughed so hard that she was about to fall over.”It’s just like what mom said. I really don’t know how your brain works …”

Zhang Zian looked at her and laughed, his heart in a mess.

“Aiya, forget it. My stomach hurts from laughing too much …” She finally stopped laughing.”There’s a call. Aren’t you going to charge your phone?”

Zhang Zian subconsciously raised his head. The light in the room was still dark. There was no electricity …

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the light turned on.

Not only did the light turn on, but the refrigerator compressor also started to turn and start cooling. The television that was not turned off also automatically made a sound.

What the hell?

His mind was even more confused.

What was going on? She seemed to have known that there would be a call before the call even started? No, no, she probably saw the call notification from the municipal department somewhere.

But even if he saw the call notification, how could he grasp the time so accurately?

It was probably a wild guess. It was like a blind cat that had just gotten a dead rat. Just like those quacks on the internet who liked to predict the future, they would always be able to guess the future right once after tens of thousands of times. Then, they would happily dig out a post to show off.

A phone call meant that there were a lot of things to do, but … Just as she had reminded him, his phone had held on for more than a day and was almost out of battery. It was not fully charged when the typhoon came yesterday.

After losing the “pet Hunter” game, he had given up on himself for a while. He didn’t know what the use of this cell phone was, and he even wanted to smash it. But his rationality told him that there must be someone calling or sending him a message in life. Mobile phones were indispensable in modern society. Even if he smashed it to vent his anger, he would have to buy a new one a few days later.

So, he found a charging cable and plugged it into his phone, then put it aside and started charging it.

The TV that was automatically turned on because of the call was playing the news. When he heard the TV sound, he thought of old time tea and couldn’t help but feel sad.

He walked over and was about to turn off the TV, but his attention was caught by a few news articles that the host was broadcasting.

“…The sexual assault case in Minnesota is still brewing, and the stock price is plummeting …”

“…If Mr. MA resigns from his position as Ali dad’s Chairman, will I still be your father in the future …”

“The new version of the fifth set of RMB will be released soon …”

Seeing the once all-powerful faces that were now a little too low-key and even down-and-out flashed on the screen, he couldn’t help but feel sad for them.

Forget it, his sprites had also been retrieved. Everyone was just the pot calling the kettle black. It was not his turn to sympathize with them.

He turned off the TV and saw her running around the shelves with Galaxy as if playing hide-and-seek, not treating herself as an outsider at all. He coughed and asked,””Who the hell are you? What are you here for?”

She stopped and pointed at her face.”Didn’t Xinghai tell you? I’m the reinforcement you’ve been waiting for. ”

“What?”

Zhang Zian had such a guess, but he rejected it himself. In his imagination, the so-called reinforcements should be adults with a strong aura and a cool look, the kind that came with BGM. And this little girl who was not even an adult yet, it was unlikely that she could help him solve his problem.

Although it was said that one’s age did not matter if one had ambition, and that one would grow a hundred years without ambition, age was not something that could be crossed easily.

He looked at Galaxy inquiringly, and the latter nodded hard.”Meow! She’s the reinforcement.”

Zhang Zian was speechless.

No matter how much he didn’t want to believe it, he could only try anything he could at this time.

He believed Galaxy, but not her. He asked suspiciously,””Then tell me, how can you help me? Can you help me find the elves?”

“I’m here for this. ” She said confidently,”first of all, your guess is correct. The game hasn’t completely stopped running. The server … Or something similar is still running normally. It’s just that the human-computer interface, which is the app in your mobile phone, has been turned off. So, the elves that haven’t been captured are not affected.”

Zhang Zian didn’t know how many times he had been stunned today. She actually knew his inner struggle. Could she read his mind?

“Can you install the app on the phone?” He asked.

She shook her head.”That won’t do. The app is in self-destruction mode, so the deletion is very thorough.”

The fire of hope that had just been ignited in Zhang Zian was almost extinguished.

“But …” She smiled mischievously.”You don’t need to install the app again. You just need to switch to another phone with an app that hasn’t been deleted.”

Zhang Zian didn’t understand what she was saying at all. Not to mention that the apps in the other players ‘mobile phones had been deleted, even if she got someone else’s mobile phone with an app that hadn’t been deleted, he wouldn’t be able to use it. It was protected by fingerprint and password.

She put her hand on her collar.

Then, under his dumbfounded gaze, a white and fat worm wriggled out from under the lapels of her sailor suit. It looked like a Fusang’s bad snack, soft wriggle.

The bug crawled onto her palm, and its two little black eyes looked at him. It raised its head and nodded up and down, as if it was greeting him.

These two eyes were absolutely black and did not reflect any light. When light shone in, it was as if it was absorbed by a black hole.

He also subconsciously raised his hand and waved at it. He was a little embarrassed, not knowing if he had misunderstood.

It shook its head, and a strange scene appeared.

A ripple suddenly appeared in the clear air.

The ripples expanded rapidly, and a strange distortion appeared in the space. A translucent vortex appeared in front of her.

The vortex spun slowly with the little bug as the center. Standing in front of the vortex, one would feel as if everything around them was being sucked into the vortex, not even light could escape.

The vortex was like a translucent mirror. The mirror reflected something that did not belong to this world. It was black, and there was the faint sound of wind and thunder.

“Let’s go,”he said. She walked over, grabbed his wrist very naturally, and led him to the vortex.

“Wait … Wait a minute! What was he doing? Where are you going?”

He was afraid of this strange vortex because it was too strange. Anyone who saw such a strange scene for the first time would be afraid.

“Don’t be afraid. It’s just a short trip. We’ll get familiar with each other again. ” As if she found it troublesome, she pushed him from behind instead. When she passed by the charger, she pulled out his phone from the charging cable and handed it to him.

“Here, don’t forget to take your phone.”

Zhang Zian turned his head to look at Galaxy for help. The latter held up a front paw and said,”meow! Come on!”

“Don’t be so wishy-washy, Galaxy won’t come with us this time. Anyway, it’ll be back soon, and we don’t need to lock the door. No one will come to the store to steal. ”

Despite her young age, she was quite strong. Her wrist suddenly increased in strength and she pushed him into the vortex without warning.

Zhang Zian subconsciously covered his face with his hands.

The next moment, he fell into the vortex and disappeared from this world.
