Time Manipulator

Li Mu was lying on the sofa, looking at Bai Qiu who was busy in the kitchen, and felt a bit of a sigh in his heart.Life is full of surprises. I really don’t know how I brought this stranger home in a flash of my head.

This Bai Qiu is 27 years old, 11 years older than the little Bai Qiu who saved Li Mu's life in the academy. These two people not only have the same name and surname, but also have one thing in common, that is, they both saved Li Mu at a critical moment.

It has been several days since Li Mu escaped from the academy, and he still feels that his escape is like a mystery that cannot be explained.That day, Bai Qiu dragged him all the way to the road, Li Mu was penniless, so he had no choice but to stop a pickup truck and take them back to the city first. Of course, Bai Qiu paid the money in the end.

But Li Mu was always in a state of confusion, until he saw the bustling street scene in the city, he still wondered if he was still in the created imaginary space.In the end, it was Bai Qiu who reminded Li Mu that it was almost dawn, and Li Mu regained some sense of reality—the time in the imaginary space can never pass at the same speed as the real space.Li Mu counted the time and felt that it was indeed almost dawn.Only then did he feel relieved, sure that he had really escaped.

But the next thing was a little out of control. This person who called himself Bai Qiu has been following Li Mu. Even when Li Mu returned home, he kept guarding the door and did not leave. This poor homeless man.

But... Li Mu took a bite of the apple in his hand. Although this Bai Qiu was proficient in all housework and served Li Mu comfortably, the origin of this person was still unclear.

"Master, it's time to eat." Bai Qiu brought the food to the table at this time.

Li Mu lazily got off the sofa, moved to the table and sat down. Seeing that he sat down after finishing his work, he picked up his chopsticks and asked eccentrically, "You said you came here by yourself to find someone, and you are sitting here every day. Are you looking for someone here?"

Bai Qiu picked up the rice bowl, just took a bite, put down his chopsticks when he heard Li Mu's words, and said helplessly, "Master, I need to have clues to find someone, and I don't want to depend on you like this every day." Ever since Bai Qiu knew Li Mu After having a craft of repairing watches, he has to learn from a teacher, called Pastor Li.

Li Mu picked up the dishes on the plate a few times, curled his lips and said, "I think I'm being taken advantage of."

Bai Qiu couldn't laugh or cry: "Master, since you took me in, although I didn't pay much money, I have been working hard for you all the time. You can't say that about me."

Li Mu put down his chopsticks, decided to speak out to Bai Qiu, and said, "Let me tell you this, you may have seen it, I don't even dare to go out now, basically even if I'm running for my life, I can't If you stay here for a long time, you will find a way to leave sooner or later, even if you rely on me, it will be useless."

Bai Qiu thought for a while, then said in embarrassment: "I know, but...Master, I can't go anywhere now, I...I am a person without status."

"What do you mean?" Li Mu didn't understand.

Bai Qiu bowed his head in silence for a while, and continued after a few seconds: "Master, I have no identity, no documents, and people like me can't go anywhere."

Li Mu opened his mouth and asked in astonishment, "You are not a wanted criminal, are you?"

Bai Qiu hesitated for a moment, and then said carefully: "Of course not. I... Master, if I told you that I woke up and went to a place completely unfamiliar to me, would you believe me?"

With a shake of Li Mu's arm, he knocked off the chopsticks that were leaning on the table. There was silence in the room for a while. Qi bent down to pick up the chopsticks, picked up the water glass and drank a few sips of water, then asked in a daze, "Wear... time travel?" Li Mu's mind was indeed blank for a few seconds just now, but he calmed down and thought about it. It is not impossible. Bai Qiu will appear outside the void near the college in the middle of the night. It is suspicious at first, but if he is a "time traveler", everything seems to make sense, as in detective novels. : After all the impossibilities have been ruled out, what remains, no matter how unreasonable, is the truth.Besides, it is not unreasonable for Li Mu, who has been trained in the association, to travel through time.

"Then the person you said you were looking for?" After gathering his composure, Li Mu remembered the important point.

"I'm really looking for someone, I never lied to you." Bai Qiu replied seriously.

Li Mu picked up the chopsticks, just about to take a bite of food, when he thought that the chopsticks had dropped to the ground just now, he put down the chopsticks again, propped his thighs with both hands, stared straight at Bai Qiu, his mind was spinning rapidly.

"Time travel", if Li Mu remembers correctly, this is a research that the Time Association cannot fully control. Such cases and suspected cases that have occurred in history have always been a random possibility. Until now, he can't be controlled by the controller. If the association finds out about Bai Qiu's existence, he will naturally be asked to do some research, and then he will definitely be exposed in vain.

If he finds a chance to throw him away... Li Mu thought about it, and with Bai Qiu's current situation, it is impossible for a person to live alone, without money, family, and status, and it's hard to even find a job.Li Mu sighed resignedly, grabbed Bai Qiu's chopsticks, took a few mouthfuls of rice, and said inarticulately: "Eat first, I'll go out and take you to find a place to apply for a certificate later, and get a certificate first. "

Bai Qiu raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.

Li Mu knew a person who applied for a certificate, so he was not a friend, but he had asked him for help a few times before, so it was considered a friendship.Now, unlike earlier years, urban psoriasis is everywhere on the roads. This kind of underground industry, as the anti-counterfeiting of documents is getting better and better, the business is getting worse and worse.What Li Mu thought was, instead of doing those complicated things, he could find a way to settle Bai Qiu's household.

Bai Qiu followed Li Mu all the way to this building that was older than Li Mu's. Bai Qiu was tall and crowded in this dilapidated and small corridor, looking a little pitiful.When they reached the fourth floor, Li Mu first told Bai Qiu not to talk too much when he went in, and then he knocked on the door.

The door was opened from the inside, and a somewhat sloppy middle-aged man opened the door. When he saw Li Mu, he greeted with a smile and invited them in.

"Where did brother get rich recently? I heard that your shop has been closed for several months, what's the matter? No more business?" As soon as he entered, the man exchanged pleasantries with Li Mu.

Li Mu waved his hands, and said, "It's not a good thing to get rich, I almost lost my life! Don't mention it."

The man glanced at Bai Qiu, handed Bai Qiu a cigarette, and said politely: "Where did this boss get rich?"

Bai Qiu shook his head, pushed the cigarette out, and smiled politely: "No."

The man didn't feel embarrassed, smiled with his mouth crooked, put the cigarette in his mouth, and lit it with his eyes closed.

"Boss, shit!" Li Mu patted Bai Qiu's shoulder and said, "I'm looking for you today just for this matter. Look, what kind of procedures do you have to go through for a black household like this who has nothing?"

The man took a deep puff of the cigarette, exhaled the smoke ring with great enjoyment, and then said: "Brother, are you treating me as a policy consulting office? You should inquire about everything first, and then come to me if you need anything. I'll find a way to do everything for you. If you're like this, I can't help you." After speaking, he looked at Bai Qiu carefully: "Which way is this boss? A black household? The way is quite wild!"

Only then did Li Mu realize that this person was afraid that Bai Qiu's background would be dirty, and he would be involved in the trouble.Just as I was about to say something, I saw the man pinch his cigarette and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry to urinate, I need to go to the bathroom!" Then he hurriedly got up and went into the bathroom.

"Master?" Bai Qiu asked in a low voice, "It's fine if it's difficult."

Li Mu shook his head and said: "This kind of person is nothing more than seeking money and is afraid of taking risks. There is nothing difficult to do." After finishing speaking, seeing Bai Qiu staring at him, he said, "What are you looking at!"

Bai Qiu smiled: "Master, you really know a lot."

Just as Li Mu wanted to be modest, he heard a loud banging sound from the bathroom, and within two seconds, he heard several very strange calls. Li Mu and Bai Qiu looked at each other quickly, and shouted: "Mr. Liu? Are you okay? Old Liu?"

After waiting for a while, the bathroom became completely quiet. Li Mu called out a few more times, but still no one answered.Bai Qiu's face darkened, he pressed Li Mu, and said, "Don't move, I'll go take a look." Then he got up, walked lightly to the door of the bathroom, knocked on the door lightly, but there was still no sound. Squeak opened a crack, Bai Qiu tilted his head, and looked in along the crack of the door, then his expression changed, he pushed the door open forcefully, and rushed in quickly.

Li Mu stood up suspiciously and followed, only to find that Old Liu was lying unconscious on the ground for some reason, while Bai Qiu was giving him first aid.Li Mu was taken aback, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Bai Qiu checked it out, and said in embarrassment: "I don't know... It doesn't seem like life is in danger, but..."

"I'll call an ambulance!" Li Mu finally realized.
