Chapter 3 The Still World
Zhang Heng pushed open the door of the dormitory, and the corridor was quiet, a bit like the morgue in the hospital, with the sound of footsteps alone.
The dormitory opposite was not closed, and there was a light coming out. Zhang Heng put his head in and looked at it, and saw four people who were fully focused on playing with the computer.
On the screen, their characters chased Anne in the middle of the tower, and the skills they issued were hovering in the air, and the excited expressions on their faces also frozen for that moment, like four lifelike sculptures.
Zhang Heng noticed the alarm clock at one of the people's desks, and the time above was also 00:00.
Then he visited several other dormitories on this floor.
Some of them locked the door before going to bed, but they couldn't get in, but the dormitory that could be entered was stopped at the last moment of the day without exception.
Someone in the bathroom was smoking secretly without telling the dormitory guard. The sparks on the cigarette butts were clearly visible, but they would not spread downwards. The exhaled smoke was frozen in the mouth.
Zhang Heng couldn't help but take out his cell phone and took a picture of this magical scene.
When he pressed the shutter, he discovered something interesting.
In this world where time stagnates, not only everyone is pressed, but those things are also kept in the last second.
Like the skill that was halfway through the screen before, the stationary electric fan, now this cigarette butt that can never be burned.
However, there are exceptions to this.
In order to verify the guess in his heart, Zhang Heng pulled the cigarette out of the other party's fingers.
As a result, when the cigarette butts turned into his hand, they continued to burn again.
Is this true?
During this time when only he can move, the things will return to normal as soon as they reach their hands. Now this cigarette, as well as the mobile phone, computer and mp3 that were working normally before, but the time displayed on it will not change.
Moreover, his normal function of touching someone does not seem to have no effect on people. He pushed Chen Huadong in the dormitory for so long before, but the latter did not respond.
So what about other living creatures besides humans?
Zhang Heng became interested and walked back to the dormitory, turned his phone into flashlight mode, and approached several roommates. Two minutes later, he successfully found his goal in the dark with two-minute shots of 20 million soft light.
This is the most common and annoying animal around most people in summer - mosquitoes.
As long as one of them gets into the room, no one can think of peace in one night.
Zhang Heng and his dormitory are on the third floor, which is relatively low. Mosquitoes at this height do not need to take the elevator, so they just check in with their bags. Therefore, everyone has various methods of preventing mosquitoes, including those with some mosquito repellent, some with mosquito repellent water, and some with mosquito nets, but there are still fish that often miss the net.
Now the mosquito is lurking beside the dormitory director Wei Jiangyang's pillow, waiting to find an opportunity to go up and have a full meal.
Unfortunately, its dream is destined to be lost tonight.
Zhang Heng stretched out his hand, gently pinched one of the mosquito's wings, grabbed it from the air, and placed it in the palm of his hand.
As a result, the latter still maintained a flying posture, like the most dedicated actor, turning a blind eye to the fresh prey that was approaching his mouth.
"It seems that animals are not good."
After the experiment, Zhang Heng made a quick crush and achieved the achievement of eliminating harm for the people.
Well, the dormitory building has been explored almost all, so it’s time to go out and have a look.
He used the faucet in the bathroom to destroy the corpse and traces, and Zhang Heng went down to the first floor.
The dormitory manager on duty was standing at the door holding a large U-shaped lock in his hand, probably preparing to lock the door.
This kind of thing is also a feature of colleges and universities, but there are big differences in dormitory management between different universities.
Although Zhang Heng and his school have regulations on locking the door at 12 o'clock, if they really have to come back late, they can snatch the window to wake up the aunt on duty and register and go back to bed. However, if they do this often, they will be punished and criticized.
Zhang Heng walked past the dormitory manager with a calm expression. If it were normal, the latter would definitely call him and ask his classmates where you are going so late.
But now she seemed to have suddenly had the ability to see through. The focus of her eyes passed through Zhang Heng's body and focused on the door handle, as if she hadn't noticed that a living person had just passed by herself.
So Zhang Heng walked out of the dormitory building slowly, looked up at the night sky above his eyes, walked through the empty campus, and finally arrived at the school gate.
But it was a lot more lively here.
Zhang Heng’s school is not large in size, but it is located well. It is located on the side of the Third Ring Road, and is directly opposite to it. The nights in big cities are always particularly long.
The pancake stall business on the overpass is booming, and many young white-collar workers have just left the office building. They are hungry and need a late-night snack to replenish their energy on the way home. The sanitation workers not far away waved their brooms and cleaned the sidewalk silently. Two bald uncles in suits and ties under the platform hold their mobile phones while waiting for the night bus that has not arrived. The girl with a bear in the convenience store behind them yawned a long yawn in front of the cashier...
And at 00:00, they were both frozen by time.
It's like a movie screen with a pause button pressed.
All the cars flying on the road stopped at this moment.
Zhang Heng once went to the station to pick up friends before, and he had seen the city look late at night.
But this is the first time to observe such a close distance.
He could see the scallions sprinkled in the hands of the pancake boy, the calluses and dark faces of the sanitation workers, the greasy nose of the bald uncle and the photos of the full moon daughter on the mobile phone screen, and the star stickers of the bear hairpin girl secretly hiding under the cash register...
All these details that are ignored in daily life are now presented to Zhang Heng.
He seemed to have met the city again.
Zhang Heng used WeChat to drive a Mobike bicycle and rode it through the city with a passionate tour.
By the way, continue to test your guesses.
When the hour hand on the starfish was about to turn the second round, he rushed back to the dormitory before the dormitory manager locked the door.
It was also 00:00, and this time Zhang Heng did not bring headphones.
The next second, all the sounds poured into my ears like a tide.
"Beautiful, this head is mine!!! The Endless Blade can finally come out!"
"They dare not get on the tower with speed."
"No, I have to go home to replenish my blood first!"
