The Midnight Owl

Afraid. Trance.

Xu Wang was stiff in the chair, not knowing whether he had a problem or the clerk had a problem.

"Minister ... I'm going out first ..." The clerk tried to keep smiling, but the pace of leaving revealed her panic.

The door closed.

Xu Wang sat quietly, listening to the dissipation of the door closing in the air. He didn't know what to do and what to think. It seemed that if he didn't move at all, he could expel those illusions like mental insanity.

There was noisy outside the door, as if someone was arguing and the sound was too loud for the door panel to separate.

"I told you that Minister Xu is not here!" Was the voice of the female clerk just now.

"Not? OK, I'll wait here, I see when he can hide!" A man's voice was angry and rough.

Xu Wang frowned, was he offended? But even if there was a grudge, it was a little too ugly to bring a little girl to help block it.

"I'll call the security guard if you do this again!" The female clerk is still doing her due diligence to stop.

Xu Wang got up and opened the door without hesitation. Both of them were stunned. There were dozens of people in the whole large square who "looked like taking a break in the morning at the station, but their eyes were swept towards this side."

Xu Wang also froze for a moment, but didn't expect it to be such a big office area outside the door, so it was so bright to have a look around.

"Don't embarrass the little girl," he said loudly, at a volume that could be heard throughout the square square, "I have something to say to me."

The fault-finder was a young man in a baseball cap, his hands in his pockets, his brim so low that he could not see his face.

"It's okay, count as a man, then I will talk to you."

A corner of the mouth of the baseball cap came up, and the hand in his pocket was taken out at a speed that was too fast to cover his ears, and it was a poke according to Xu Wang's stomach.

Xu Wang didn't see exactly what he was holding, but only heard a small "flutter".

Xu Wang lowered his head, pulled the baseball cap out of the thing, and "punched" to make up twice.

He saw it clearly this time, a fruit knife.

After the pain, the tsunami swept around, screaming around ...

"Tuk Tuk."

Xu Wang shook his mind until the knock on the door sounded for the second time.

"Come in." He said, finding his voice a little dumb.

The young female clerk pushed the door in and smiled and put the fragrant coffee on his table: "Minister Xu, your coffee."

Xu Wang couldn't help crying: "You didn't just give me a cup, why did you forget it?"

The female clerk froze and looked at him blankly.

Suddenly, Xu Wang looked up and looked at the wall. The hour, minute and minute hands of the watch above coincided at 12:00 noon.

He quickly raised his arms and rolled up his sleeves, almost panicking until he saw the head of an owl.

: Live past 4:44 pm.

He still didn't understand why there was such a thing on his arm, but at this moment, this strange thing gave him some inexplicable peace of mind.

He wasn't crazy. He had indeed seen time, drank coffee, heard quarrels, and stabbed him three times.

The chair slowly turned back.

Outside the window, the blood-red Arabic numerals became "12".

The clerk left.

Xu Wang looked at the second hand on the clock, one circle, two circles ...

"I told you all, Minister Xu is not here!"

"No? Yes, I'll wait here. I see when he can hide!"

12:04.

Xu Wangteng stood up and opened the door: "I'm here. Let's talk."

"It's okay, count as a man, then I'll talk to you." The baseball cap raised the corner of his mouth, strode at the meteor, and the hand in his pocket came out.

Xu Wang's death will not make people stab the fourth knife!

With a flash, he had the right time to hide. The baseball cap stabbed into the air and fell into the office under the effect of inertia.

Xu Wang closed the door from the outside, screaming at the square while shouting, "What are you looking at, call the police--"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Wang suddenly felt dizzy.

I have heard that shouting for too long is prone to hypoxia, but he just shouted an alarm ... Before losing consciousness, Xu Wang was calmly and scientifically analyzing.

"Tuk Tuk."

Xu Wangmuran was sitting in a chair, looking at the knocked door panel, and was in love.

The clock on the wall is still 12:00.

The blood figure outside the window became "11".

People ca n’t be reborn, but he seems to be.

The problem is that he just didn't get stabbed, so he dragged the door, how come back?

Every time you come back, the number will decrease accordingly. If it reaches "0" ... Xu Wang doesn't dare to think down.

In any case, he at least knew the meaning of the phrase "lived at 4:44 pm", because twice in a row, he couldn't even **** his mother at 12:04!

If you think of the brain as a hard drive with a capacity of 1TB, Xu Wang now only stores 1MB of information, starting from the first "Tuk Tuk" and ending at this moment, and the rest are blank.

But this 1MB is too exciting, even makes him think that the ultimate questions like "Who am I" and "Where is my past" can be discussed later, just focus on dealing with "alive" now, just survive and talk about the past And the future.

"Come in."

"Minister Xu, your coffee."

"Did I offend anyone?"

"Ok?"

"A young boy may like to wear a baseball cap at a height of about 1.80 meters ..." Xu Wang tried his best to describe. Since the secretary dares to stop, she should know something.

The female clerk blushed and white, not shy, but ashamed: "Minister, sorry."

"No need to apologize, answer my question." Already 12:02, Xu Wang could not hide his anxiety.

Anyone who was put on the runway hard and inexplicably started to race against Death, was anxious.

"It's okay with you, it's him ... he thinks that I broke up with him because of you ..." The female clerk lowered her head, her voice getting smaller and smaller.

"He is your boyfriend?" Xu Wang always thought it was his enemy.

"Ex-boyfriend." The female clerk did not forget to correct it at this time.

Xu Wangfu's forehead, the lack of memory always makes him feel bottomless: "Then do we have a relationship?"

"Ah?" The female clerk froze, "How is it possible?"

"..." What is this reaction?

Although Xu Wang also hopes to be innocent with each other, the female clerk's face is "shocked" and still hurts.

He is a talented person, the middle of the company, unmarried and unbred, how can it be impossible?

Uh, wait, the memory of marriage and love seems to be blank ...

"boom--"

The door was kicked open, and the baseball cap saw the two of them in the house with eyes green: "I fight with you--"

12:04

The female clerk did not go out, and the baseball cap changed lines.

Xu Wang thought about these uncontrollable things in his mind, but his body was honest, and he jumped away from the arm stretched out of the baseball cap. The other party was separated by the table case and couldn't contain his anger. He stepped up and climbed across the table case vigorously!

Xu Wang was breathless and circumvented the table case and ran out of the door.

The baseball cap caught up, and a jump brought him from behind.

Xu Wang admits his fate and clenches his teeth, but the pain hasn't come yet, and suddenly a wind blows across his head.

Xu Wang felt that his body was light, so he heard a "dong" and kicked his baseball cap.

"Hold me and hold him!" There was a nice magnetic sound in the sweeping leg.

The baseball cap was slammed on the ground by a group of security guards.

Xu Wang climbed up in embarrassment and saw a face picking out thousands of miles.

One in one million, one in handsome, one in one wisdom.

He doesn't know him, and he can look handsome, how about wisdom? Xu Wang couldn't tell, but he just knew.

"Are you all right?" The life saver asked.

"It's okay."

Xu Wang finished answering, and felt dry, hesitating to add a "thank you" or directly asking "who are you", but the life saver leaned over and spoke again.

This time, his voice was so low that only the two of them could hear clearly—

"Can you see the **** numbers outside the window?"

...

Noon.

He recovered from the constant sound of "Dada", only to find that he was typing on the keyboard.

A string of meaningless garbled characters on the screen is proof that he has just lost his mind.

This is a very spacious and luxurious office. The boss table is made of solid wood, the sofa is made of leather, the marble floor is light, and the walls are decorated with strange tastes.

His gaze returned to the computer screen full of codes, and he judged it objectively in his heart-in the IT line, the office was decorated like this, and he was sick.

But this is his office.

really weird.

His brain has been formatted, and it is currently blank. There is nothing in the desk case that can prove his identity, but he only panicked for the first moment and then touched his pants pocket.

The wallet is really there. It also contains an ID card, a driver's license, and several identical business cards.

General Manager of XX Technology Company.

Wu Sheng.

He accepted his identity very frankly, and thought it should be so.

But he couldn't be calm about the issue of amnesia. This is a serious problem that would affect normal life. He had to figure out what happened.

The quickest way to figure out the current situation is to ask people around you.

Wu Sheng just got up and went outside the office to search for someone who could help him. He slammed him on the chair with a "ding".

Accurately locking the sound source, he rolled up his shirt sleeve and raised his eyebrows inconceivably.

An APP icon appeared on his arm, which was quite new.

Click in and read the new information first-

: Live past 4:44 pm.

On the watch, the hour, minute, and second hands coincide exactly at 12:00.

Wu Sheng tilted his head slightly, frowning between his brows and thoughts.

Lived at 4:44 pm ...

caveat? omen? Or some kind of whole-player game?

No, no, the technology is not advanced enough to implant such a thing silently in his arm. And his amnesia, also very strange, is it related to the things on his arm?

"Boom."

The floor-to-ceiling windows behind came the muffled crash.

Wu Sheng turned back, it was the spider man who was standing in the hanging basket, wiping the glass of the outer curtain wall. The wind was a little strong, and the hanging basket swayed all the time, touching the glass from time to time.

Behind the Spiderman, a huge blood-red "13" hangs in the air.

Wu Shengding looked at the "13", but his heart was settled instead-this world is not normal, so all kinds of abnormalities appear in him, and it is normal.

"Boom."

The gondola touched the glass again, and it seemed to shake even more. The workers in the gondola have to interrupt the work and take out the intercom, which should be to let the console put the gondola back to the ground.

The gondola soon began to descend.

Wu Sheng was inexplicably a little worried, instinctively stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and watched the gondola descend.

Finally, the gondola fell to the ground steadily.

Wu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly there was a trance in his head, and his standing was unstable.

"Da Da Da Da ..."

The vision became clear again, and Wu Sheng looked at the series of seemingly garbled characters on the screen, stunned.

His first action was to raise his arm to look at his watch, the second action was to click the owl icon, and the third action was to turn his head and look out the window.

Only time is reset.

The information in the owl icon is still there, and the unread little "1" is gone.

The **** numbers also changed, and 13 became 12.

"Why ..." Wu Sheng looked at the words in and muttered to himself, puzzled in his eyes.

Lived at 4:44 pm.

He didn't know who sent this sentence, but logically, if everything is calm, who would specifically tell such a sentence? Since the emphasis is on "lived", correspondingly, there is a great possibility that "lived", that is, between now and 4:44, there is a certain possibility that there will be a certain "lived" danger.

But he just did not encounter any danger, but the time was reset.

Is time resetting a necessity? No, if that's the case, the fairy won't live at 4:44 pm.

What if the time reset is conditional? Something happened that he didn't know, so the time was reset ... Wu Sheng was excited by his own guess, just like someone groping in the dark saw a glimmer of light.

Assuming that this "reset condition" really exists, as long as he finds and prevents the generation of this condition, he can let the time go forward until 4:44 pm!

He couldn't figure out what would happen after 4:44, but now, "Living After 4:44 PM" is like a fascinating puzzle that exudes a fatal appeal to him.

"Boom."

The gondola began to bump into the glass again.

Wu Sheng is no longer concerned, he knows it will land firmly.

Get up, go out, there is a long corridor outside the office, both sides of the corridor are transparent office areas, it is now lunch break. Most of the employees are not there, maybe go to lunch, a small number of employees or lying on the desk, or leaning on the recliner, make up for a moment.

Wu Sheng glanced at his watch, 12:02.

Two male employees came face to face, holding the bought lunch in one hand, pulling the phone in one hand, and focused on "Hey, Hey".

"What's interesting about brushing, is it true?" Wu Sheng greeted and ridiculed.

He is not a joke-loving person, at least not at present, but everyone who meets today may carry key information, and he does not want to miss it.

"Wu, President Wu!" The two male employees stood upright immediately.

"Huh?" Simply tune up, motioning to the other party, still waiting for an answer.

The male employee estimated that he felt stupid and raised his mobile phone directly for the CEO to check.

That's a WeChat group called "XX Building", which is scrolling

[Lying trough, Shura field! 】

[Who is green who ha ha ha ha ha]

[Do n’t just live on text, no picture, no truth! 】

[You come directly to the third floor to see chanting. 】

【[photo]】

[It hasn't knocked on the door yet, now the heroine and the male second, the male one hides without showing up. 】

[Encouraging. 】

[I'm leaning on the door to open the door Hey! 】

[Fighting up hahahahahahahahaha]

XX Building, isn't this the company address on your business card?

Group of buildings?

The third floor? Shura field?

Wu Shenggang just captured a few keywords, but he hadn't had time to think about it. The sense of trance that seemed familiar to him hit him twice.

"Da Da Da Da ..."

When the finger stopped, Wu Sheng glanced at the "11" out of the window and got up quickly without delay.

It has nothing to do with the fantasy of the information and his current situation.

The corridor was quiet, and the two male employees had not returned.

Wu Sheng found the elevator room all the way and found that he was on the 7th floor. The elevator was going down. He is now on the 15th floor. He quickly pressed the row key.

The elevator stopped on the 7th floor, Wu Sheng entered, and decisively pressed "3".

There was no interference in the middle, and the elevator reached the third floor directly.

As soon as the door opened, Wu Sheng quickly walked out, turned around, and saw the logo of "XX Financial Company". This building seems to follow the rules of "one company on one floor". There is only his technology company on the 7th floor and only this one on the 3rd floor.

Far away, you can hear the men's screams.

The probe at the front desk looked into the square grid, and did not pay attention to Wu Sheng's coming in. When he discovered that this person had strode into the square grid office area.

As soon as Wu Sheng came in, the door that focused all the gossip in the office area made the man in the baseball cap kick away.

The man rushed into it, and Wu Sheng's heart tightened, and he ran over without reason.

When I arrived at the door of the office, a person just escaped. It was a very good-looking man. His eyebrows were his eyebrows and his eyes were his eyes. The facial features were good to look at, and they looked better together.

But Wu Sheng had just begun to appreciate it, and before he had seen enough, the man was thrown from behind by the baseball cap.

The cold light flashed.

The baseball cap held a knife in his hand.

Wu Sheng didn't even think about it, kicking people off in the past.

"Hold me and hold him!"

The security guard came too late, just in time for the last link-to hold people.

"Are you all right?" Wu Sheng asked like this, his eyes had begun to look up and down, whether the automatic retrieval was wrong.

"It's okay." The man's voice was a little dumb, but still calm.

Wu Sheng's "retrieval gaze" stopped on a section of the arm that the other party exposed.

The same owl head.

He was happy in his heart and could not tell whether it was because he finally found the clue or because the clue was on this person.

"Can you see the blood-colored figures outside the window?" When asked this sentence, Wu Sheng lowered his voice and did not suppress the chaotic heartbeat.
