Time manager

Shi Jing returned to his post and called up Ji Xian's borrowing information, feeling a little different.

When he was dealing with the overdue period, Ms. Ji Xian was already in her eighties, but her body was still very strong. Only her family members said that she had mental problems, and she often talked to the air alone, saying what she usually said to her husband.

The family was terrified at first, but gradually got used to it.

Ji Xian and his wife are very affectionate, but her husband passed away early, so the family members thought that maybe the old lady couldn't accept the departure of her husband, so she imagined a non-existent object out of thin air.

And that book was the culprit.

Because Ji Xian started acting abnormally after getting the book.

After the family became suspicious, they fought wits and bravery with the old lady for decades, and finally stole the book and decided to return it to the library.Unexpectedly, in the end, the smart old lady discovered it in time and cut off the beard in the library.After Shi Jing knew about it, he applied for special treatment.

"I knew he wasn't here a long time ago." Ji Xian looked stable and strong on the surface, but in private she was crying like a little girl, telling him.

"But I just feel that I can't live without him. Teacher Shi, if it were you, what would you do?"

Although Shi Jing has never experienced life and death, but when he thought of the time when he was so unlucky and felt that his life was dark, he was also generally hopeless.Looking at her again, I thought of my own mother...

"Then I'll lend it to you." Shi Jing said impulsively, "But if one day, you feel that you don't need it anymore, you still have to return it. Otherwise, our curator will go crazy. Books are his heart and soul, and there is no shortage of one. And... just like your lover, he has a particularly bad heart. "

Later, Shi Jing's application went smoothly.When the curator heard that Ms. Ji Xian had preserved the book very well over the years, he readily agreed.

Now that I think about it, that book...is really problematic.

Even if Shi Jing didn't look at the borrowing records, he still remembered that the book was called: "Guidelines for Raising Paper Dolls".

He probably read it at the time, and it wasn't some explanatory popular science text, but... just like the strange book in the past, it was a fantasy novel with a powerful and unconstrained style.

So he is sure that these books are inseparable from the photosphere system.

This book, however, is more eccentric.Because... that was borrowed 50 years ago!

Fifty years ago, there should have been no such novels?

Shi Jing checked the author again, but he couldn't find it.

But if we dig deeper, the editorial department might think he's meddling in his own business.

So he just contacted Ji Xian's family during the lunch break, confirmed the death of the old lady, appeased the other party's condolences, made an appointment for a visit, and continued with his own work.

It wasn't until after get off work that he quietly asked while tidying up: "Hour, when did the light balls appear? How many are there?"

[A long time ago, it can no longer be traced back. 】The notes said. [But at the beginning, the number of light spheres was very small, and it did not affect the timeline, so the managers did not take it seriously.Until the last few hundred years, the administrators discovered that the companions were unknowingly decreasing, and the number of light spheres pouring in was beyond calculation. 】

"What happened later?" Shi Jing asked again. "You said that the previous manager once fought against it, and then failed, right, so what about the ball of light?"

[Hiding away. 】

"Was their appearance at that time also related to books?" Shi Jing felt that there were too many coincidences recently, and then contacted the special collection library set up by the curator...

【No.At that time, the ball of light descended in many ways. 】

Ok……

Shi Jing was a little uncertain again.However, Ms. Ji Yuan's house still needs to be walked.

As soon as Shi Jing went downstairs, he found Li Meng in the periodical room on the second floor.

And Lian Ping is gallantly saddling his horse.

"Teacher, please copy these pages for me."

"Ok, no problem!"

"Teacher Lian Ping, are you free to go to Huai University this weekend? Our class is going to have a barbecue party, do you want to go? By the way, recommend a venue for us."

"Fine, fine, of course!"

"Teacher Lian Ping, help me..."

……

Shi Jing observed and found that the light balls on their bodies were the same as last time, echoing with the questions and answers of the two.

Then Li Meng turned to see him and greeted him happily.

Shi Jing nodded and asked, "Why are you free to come over today?"

"Ah, come here and check the materials of the thesis." Li Meng said with a sweet smile.

In her mind, the system ruthlessly exposed her: "Host, you are actually here for this Lian Ping!"

Li Meng secretly annoyed: "Anyway, his favorability has already been completed ahead of the strategy, so you don't care about me."

The system said earnestly: "It's because you've finished it that you shouldn't waste time on him, just hurry up and find the next target."

"Okay, okay, I know. But I'm a human, not your system, and I only have tasks in my mind. I want to make this friend, okay? Don't just throw them away after using them. This friend especially likes to help others, satisfying Is it difficult?! Don't be like my dad, who only knows about work and work all day long, and he is so busy with work that he almost doesn't remember that he has a daughter." Li Meng complained.

"Aren't I always with the host..." The system shut up helplessly.

Shi Jing didn't know about the inner discussion between Li Meng and a certain system, so he just asked Lian Ping, "Do you have time after get off work to help me with something?"

Then he discovered that Lian Ping's flickering ball of light suddenly brightened up, many times stronger than when he responded to Li Meng.like a...

The good little sun is trying to shine.

Shi Jing inexplicably popped up such a strange idea, which made him feel funny.

"Host, host! Connect, connect!" Here, the system in Lian Ping's mind was mechanically reporting Li Meng's entrusted tasks and completion progress, and the points he had gained suddenly shouted eagerly.

The roar made Lian Ping stunned for a moment, and he replied in a daze, "Okay...Okay."

When Li Meng heard it over there, he wisely stopped asking, and used the excuse that he wanted to go down to borrow books, so he took a step ahead.

"Is there anything Teacher Shi can do for you?" Lian Ping came back to his senses and regained his excitement.

Shi Jing took out the previously printed paper and handed it to him, "Help me paste this on each advertisement column when you have time."

"Looking for cat enlightenment...?" Lian Ping asked inexplicably, "Isn't this black cat at your house?"

"Run away again." Shi Jing thought, this is not a lie, right?Because the black cat did go out for a walk.But under his behest.

"Oh." Lian Ping, who was so simple, immediately had no doubts, and just said, "Will Teacher Shi go with me?"

"I'm going to visit someone at night, and the curator told me to trouble you," Shi Jing said.

"Oh! Then don't worry! I promise to post it for you. The whole world knows that this cat belongs to you, Teacher Shi!"

Shi Jing: "..."
