Time manager

6:30

Shi Jing jogged on the somewhat damp sidewalk, carefully avoiding the dead branches and leaves on the ground.

It seemed that there was a torrential rain last night, and he always sleeps "unshakable", completely unaware of it.

However, it seems that the rain has not been long, so there is not much water, and the ground gradually dries up overnight.Only the grass, soil, and fallen leaves are still wet, and traces of the rain can be seen.Fortunately, this was the case, otherwise his morning jog would have been changed to running the stairs.

Shi Jing ran all the way to observe, and found that nothing had changed, except... Lian Ping did not appear again!

The guy who fished for three days and posted on the net for two days really needs to improve his time awareness!After Shi Jing finished running, he didn't wait for anyone to show up, and he became more determined in his decision last night.

So as soon as he went to work in the library today, Shi Jing asked Lian Ping, "What's your phone number?"

Lian Ping was stunned: "What?"

Shi Jing actually took the initiative to ask him for his mobile phone number!Let him think... Did the sun come out in the west this morning?no……

He was worried for a long time.

Shi Jing sat down, as if nothing had happened.

Lian Ping had no choice but to take the initiative to test: "Mr. Shi, did you just ask me for a mobile phone number?"

"I've found it." Shi Jing looked up the list of employees in the library, then checked that no readers had come, turned around and said with a serious face: "Do you want to get full attendance next month?"

Lian Ping was a little puzzled, but subconsciously said: "Of course I want to."

It's just that he has been used to being enthusiastic since he was a child. Whenever he sees someone who needs help on the road, he can't help helping him. If he accidentally delays time, he will be late. (Later, there was an additional system task, which became a mandatory item or something. Even Ping dared not say it even if he was killed!)

Shi Jing said: "I will supervise you in the future."

"Really?" Lian Ping looked flattered.

Shi Jing nodded, "I'll call you in the morning, remember to turn up the volume on your phone."

Lian Ping: "Okay...Okay!"

"Also, you didn't run this morning. If you don't want to run, don't force yourself in the future." Shi Jing said again.He didn't force this, because exercising was a matter of his own will, and he couldn't force it.

At first, Lian Ping insisted on running along, but he was only approaching as a junior.Of course, he doesn't object to getting close or something.

When Lian Ping first arrived, he was very unfamiliar with everything in the museum, and he was a little confused to deal with all kinds of weird-tempered colleagues.The curator handed him over to Shi Jing, and he was like a primary school student, nervously following behind Shi Jing at all times, as if holding a navigation line.

From Lian Ping's point of view, although Shi Jing is not talkative, he does not flirt; although he is rigid, he does not get angry; he is a bit serious and strict, but patient, like a... teacher?

Or the class teacher... Lian Ping silently complained, and hurriedly said: "Of course I have to run! I was busy packing things this morning and wanted to move as soon as possible, so I was absent from work."

"Okay. I'll supervise this too." Shi Jing said, took out his notebook and wrote it down.

A reader came to Lian Ping, so he had to suspend the topic to handle business, while pondering: "By the way, why am I in such a hurry to move? It's strange..."

Over there, teacher Wang Xu tilted his head and glanced, and said in a low voice; "Ms. Shi changed the notebook today, did you buy a new one?"

"You can still see the difference from such a distance, Mr. Wang?" Lian Ping complained with a professional smile when he saw no one after finishing the borrowing.

"It's not just that I have a good sense of smell, my eyesight is also first-class." Wang Xu said with a smile.

Lian Ping glanced at the notebook. The stone mirror was spread out. How could it be different?

When it was lunch time, he couldn't help but asked and took it over to read, and then said "huh" strangely: "Mr. Shi, didn't you write something just now, why is it blank?"

He turned it from beginning to end, and it was indeed a blank note.

Shi Jing said lightly: "Erase it."

"Did you write it with a pen just now? How can you erase it!"

"You're mistaken. My pencil."

"Impossible, where's the eraser? Wipe one and show me!"

The stone mirror really has rubber.

Then the notes played a trick of "erasing the handwriting", and Lian Ping finally had nothing to say.

Wang Xu also took advantage of the noon break, came over, and said in surprise: "Oh, the mechanism of this notebook is really delicate, it looks a bit unusual."

She was reading it over and over again with great interest, when the note suddenly said: [Time stands still. 】

Shi Jing became vigilant, looked around, then at the two colleagues, and finally concentrated on Wang Xu.

The note is that the time was still when Mr. Wang Xu was playing. That's right.He looked at her timeline, there was no light ball, it was normal.

The library that Wang Xu entered at the same time as him was a very gentle girl with a good personality, and it was impossible for her to create danger.

So he asked, "What's the matter?"

[Tight, nervous. ] The tone of the note also sounded nervous.

Shi Jing: "Is it dangerous?"

[No, no.Just being stared at by someone other than the master, nervous...]

"..." Shi Jing didn't know why, but he still took the note back from Wang Xu's hand, and said, "Is this okay?"

[Static release. 】The note seems to be relieved.

……

Wang Xu's hand was empty, and he was stunned for a moment, then saw Shi Jing put the note back on the table and said, "I'm going to eat first."

"What does Teacher Shi eat, why don't you pack it for me." Wang Xu said with a smile, and returned to his seat.

"Ching Yun Noodles on the opposite side, do you want more food?" Shi Jing said.He knew that Wang Xu had an abnormal sense of smell, and he couldn't bear the occasion of eating out with mixed flavors. In the past, he either brought his own food or asked his colleagues to pack it for him to eat in the staff lounge.So I quickly agreed.

"Just as good as Teacher Shi."

Shi Jing nodded, got up and left the library, looked around to see if there was no one around, and began to ask in a low voice: "When I was young, did you also sense your own danger?"

Although it wasn't dangerous just now, he always felt that something was wrong with the nervousness of the notes, so he decided to make a routine.

【Yes.But if the master is not back, I can't use skills to evade. 】

"Why?" Shi Jing didn't understand.

[Only managers can use skills, we are just tools for managers.Without managers, tools will gradually become dusty and eventually become ordinary objects. 】

"If it's not me, but someone else buys you, can you also become a manager?"

[Not necessarily.Time managers can only be competent if they are sufficiently punctual and self-disciplined.There were many people who held me in the past, but very few who could wake me up and activate my skills.If it is not awakened, for the holder, I am just an ordinary notebook. 】The notes said.

Shi Jing noticed that it said very little, not nothing.

"So, before me, you had a master, why did you appear in a thrift store? Your master..."

Are you dead...

[Sold by.... 】The tone of the notes weakened.

[The previous manager thought that he could only stop time or something, and his wish could not be satisfied.Later, because I refused to respond to his request to go back in time, I was thrown in the corner for a long time, and finally sold by his unwitting wife.After a lot of tossing and turning, I went to a thrift store, and finally...meet the owner! 】

[The master is the most rational and disciplined time manager I have ever seen!The personality is also perfectly in line with the manager-neutral trait!You are also the first manager to name me and take me with you!Master don't throw away hours!The hour doesn't want to become a dead thing with no character. 】

"..." Shi Jing was a little shocked, skipped the evaluation of him in the notes, and asked, "Can you really turn back time?"

【…】The note was silent for a long time before answering.

[Yes, if the master's personality is high enough, I can still reset the timeline, but after the reset, the world will now collapse, causing a devastating disaster, which is equivalent to restarting. 】

Shi Jing said thoughtfully: "So the timeline of the world cannot be moved, so what about... the personal one?"

He prevented a car accident before, which logically should have changed some people's timelines.According to the butterfly effect, it is hard to say that it will not affect other people's timelines.

[In order to protect the safety of the manager, the master has certain privileges, and can use skills to change what is happening to him.But it cannot be used for others, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable. 】

"That is to say, if I didn't experience it personally, but watched the car accident, can't I stop time to stop it?"

【Yes. 】

Shi Jing understood.This manager is actually more like a supervisor. He probably exists to ensure the normal operation of the world. He can only watch and not interfere.But the appearance of the unknown light sphere may make the manager unable to maintain neutrality, so the timeline is allowed to be revised.

However, he didn't have much idea about changing reality or anything.

If he goes back to the past and changes his unlucky life, maybe he will not be the self-disciplined Shi Jing he is now, and he will not work in the library, let alone encounter notes.

Will that be what he wants in the end?

Perhaps, there will be other shortcomings?

Shi Jing didn't want to think too much about life.

He wants to eat noodles.

In comparison, he prefers to think about food.Today's noodle soup still has the delicious taste, but the quail eggs are not as uniform as yesterday, but one big and one small, and the seasonal vegetables are replaced with lettuce.Well, by the way, I don’t know if Teacher Wang Xu is used to eating pig offal...

Shi Jing was thinking about this question while rambling over his face, when the note suddenly became nervous and said: [Master, master, someone... is staring at me. 】

Shi Jing paused for a moment while eating noodles, then continued quickly, saying: "Don't worry, Lian Ping will look after things for me."

Lian Ping sat in the reading desk drowsy, suddenly sneezed, woke up, rubbed his nose, and muttered: "It seems that I really have a cold..."

Just as he was about to look for medicine, he turned around and saw a man standing in front of Shi Jing's seat, and hurriedly greeted him, "Hello, please come here to borrow books."

There was obviously no one there, but that person didn't know what he was looking at, and it took him a long time to come slowly.What's even more strange is that the one who was wearing sunglasses on a cloudy day didn't take them off in the library, and didn't speak, but just handed over the book.

Lian Ping didn't care, and quickly completed the formalities.

The man took the book, walked out of the library, took out a short stick from his arms, stretched it into a crutch, and walked away with Dodo.
