Urban Oddities: The Seven-Day Cycle

The door of the office was pushed open with a bang, and everyone in the meeting raised their heads in unison.

"Team leader, you came back just in time." Brother A Biao stood up holding the script, "There are too many lines, some of them were cut out, you..."

Yan Shi waved his hand: "I'll talk about it later... Hah!"

Luo Yunsong looked around the room: "Not here."

The two ran away in a hurry.

Xiao Miao whispered to Lucy: "Did you see it just now? The team leader looks like Brother Song's coat?"

Lucy nodded: "And the team leader seems to have caught a cold."

Ermao: "Looks like last night was too intense tut tsk."

Da Mao looped Ermao into his bosom, leaned close to his ear and asked, "Are we agitated?"

Ermao raised his eyelids: "What do you think?"

Da Mao kissed Er Mao: "I won't let you catch a cold."

Ermao: "Huh... Smelly Mao..."

Seeing that they were going to broadcast live, A Biao hurriedly yelled to continue the meeting, when suddenly a cloud of cold air came from between his legs, which made A Biao shiver.

Miaomiao crawled out from under Ah Biao's chair, and ran away happily.

The little boy was playful, so he sneaked away while Luo Yunsong was going to the bathroom, Yan Shi couldn't see him, and the air conditioner (air conditioner) was around him, so he thought Miaomiao was always by his side.

When Aunt Hua passed the corner, Luo Yunsong just rushed out. Aunt Hua put her hands on her hips: "Xiao Luo, you bumped into me, why don't you say something?"

Luo Yunsong clutched his frisky heart before recovering, Aunt Hua continued to teach: "Xiao Luo, watch carefully when you walk, you will definitely knock someone over just now, if I'm still alive, I won't break It's only a few bones."

Luo Yunsong was out of breath and kept apologizing.

Aunt Hua asked curiously, "I ran so fast, what's the matter?"

"A child was lost, and we are looking for him." Luo Yunsong gestured, "Little boy, two or three years old, about the same height."

Aunt Hua said, "Wearing a Batman T-shirt and dark blue pants?"

"Hey, yes, yes, yes, Aunt Hua, have you seen him?"

"I've seen it."

"Where is it?" Luo Yunsong asked anxiously.

Aunt Hua took them to the open-air platform. Under the sun, Miaomiao was hugged by Brother Hua, and a group of shadowless people were teasing him. Miaomiao was so happy that she hugged Brother Hua's neck and giggled...

Luo Yunsong returned to the office with a tired face.

After Miaomiao got lost, they jumped up and down and turned the TV station upside down. Luo Yunsong wanted to discuss with Brother Hua and Dong whether he could take Miaomiao away. I was met by Brother Hua and Dong. After learning about Miaomiao, Brother Hua and the others expressed their willingness to take care of the little boy. Unfortunately, the gate of ghosts does not open immediately. The spirits on the TV station watched the stage She will leave only after Qinghou, so during this period, Miaomiao will stay on the TV station with everyone.

"Actually, it's quite good. Children should be accompanied." Yan Shi's nose was blocked, and his voice was muffled.

Luo Yunsong sneezed and rubbed his nose: "Well, we don't have to worry about someone taking care of him. Aunt Hua likes him very much. She treats him as her grandson."

After Yan Shi left, Luo Yunsong was left alone in a daze, the door knocked, and the girl at the front desk handed over a package.

"Mine?" Luo Yunsong wondered.

"Yeah." The girl at the front desk smiled without saying a word.

The words on the courier slip were unclear, and I didn't know where it was sent. Luo Yunsong opened it and found that it was a shoe box, and Blue Rabbit lay obediently in it.

Yan Shi, who was in a meeting, caught a glimpse of his phone lighting up out of the corner of his eye. He clicked on it and found that it was a message from Luo Yunsong.

Luo Yunsong: Wow!It's Bunny!Cute!Did you buy it? (//▽//)

Yan Shi: The package arrived, so fast.

Luo Yunsong: So, is this a token of love from Yanda to me?The courtiers and concubines are terrified! (*/ω＼*)

Yan Shi: Get lost, you faggot!convex

Luo Yunsong: Why is it blue?

Yan Shi: What, are you not satisfied?Pink is a gift for buy one get one free, what does it look like for a big man to wear pink?

Luo Yunsong took out the slippers and shook them, which made Blue Rabbit's long ears tremble.

It's not pink, how can it be a pair with you?After Luo Yunsong finished typing, he deleted it again, thought about it, and sent a thank you.

Yan Shi didn't know if he was busy or what, so he didn't respond.

Luo Yunsong stroked Tumi's smiling head, feeling like his whole heart was about to melt.

Ao Lie is not at home today, he went out to find friends, Yan Shi put down his phone helplessly, Luo Yunsong sat in the passenger seat with the shoe box in his hands, and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

"My night."

"Oh!" Luo Yunsong understood.

Master Ouyang Hui opened a bar called Mynight, located in the city center, closed during the day and open at night, when they went, the bar had just opened, there were no customers, and the tables and chairs hadn't even been set up yet, a tall red-haired man received them.

Minghong recognized Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong, and beckoned them to come in and sit down. When Luo Yunsong passed by the mirror screen, he tripped over something and bumped his head against the screen, and the mirror cracked like a spider web.

Yan Shi, sweat, Luo Yunsong's head is so hard, it hits a hole!

Ming Hong smiled and said it was all right, since Ouyang Hui had the unlucky Ling Xiao who recruited ghosts around him, the mirror had to be replaced every three days, the glass factory was always ready, and the order today would be delivered tomorrow.

"Where's Master Ouyang Hui?"

"Ouyang Hui is going on a date with Ling Xiao... Cough, I'm getting some stock." Ming Hong mixed the wine and brought it over.

"Oh, when will you be back?"

Minghong showed embarrassment: "It's hard to say, it's quite far away, maybe I won't be back tonight."

This trip was in vain, Yan Shi’s stomach was growling with hunger, and he hadn’t eaten dinner yet, so he simply thought about ordering some pasta at the bar, and leaving when he was full. , so that the dust from the ceiling fell down, Ming Hong quickly locked the door and rushed up to the second floor. After a while, the second floor was quiet. Ming Hong walked down the stairs and said with a smile: "It's a bit noisy for renovation. Don't mind it."

Yan Shi ordered a few dishes, Ming Hong took the menu into the kitchen, and Yan Shi asked curiously, "Are you cooking?"

"Well, the cook hasn't come yet."

Minghong skillfully turned on the stove, cut vegetables, Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong watched at the small window with gusto, Minghong was a big celebrity in the bar, and he specially accompanied customers to drink at night, never drunk after a thousand cups, the bar was very popular, some of them were Thanks to his achievements, many fans came to him. He didn't expect this famous person to be able to cook, which really opened his eyes.Yan Shi looked around, and he remembered that there was another man with long black hair, who was also a big hit.

"Where's Yazi?"

"Oh, he's sleeping upstairs."

Upstairs: Bang bang bang bang!

"Help watch the fire!" Ming Hong rushed up to the second floor with another gust of wind.

Yan Shi simply threw all the dishes into the pot and cooked them by himself.

Luo Yunsong suggested: "Fry some tomato eggs."

Yan Shi dug out the egg, cracked it open, and stirred it up with a clatter. After Minghong finished tossing, he was sweating when he came down. He lay on the small window and watched for a while, and suggested: "Cook another fish head soup?"

Strictly cut the fish head and throw it into the pot.

Luo Yunsong: "Add braised eggplant."

Minghong: "Stir-fried fried squid with green onions, it's in the refrigerator."

Luo Yunsong: "Is there any shrimp?"

Minghong: "Yes."

Luo Yunsong: "Then make another boiled shrimp."

Yan Shi was busy with his hands and feet, and when he was finishing the dishes, he suddenly came to his senses, what is he doing here? !

A table full of dishes, Ming Hong tasted a few mouthfuls, he was so addicted, Yan Shi hummed silently, Ming Hong divided some of each dish and packed them in an insulated box, Luo Yunsong said curiously: "Make supper oh?"

"Give it to Yazi, he doesn't eat properly, if you don't keep it for him, he won't eat it." Minghong picked out a few more squids that Yazi likes most and put them in the box.

"He's not up yet?"

"……No."

Upstairs: plop plop, clatter——

Minghong: "..."

Yan Shi pointed upstairs: "It looks like the vase is broken, why don't you go and have a look?"

"It's so intense." Luo Yunsong straightened the crooked painting.

Minghong wiped his face: "I'll go and have a look, um, the construction team is too careless."

When he reached the stairs, a figure rolled down and fell to Ming Hong's feet. The man bravely got up and cursed viciously: "You actually kicked me down the stairs! Believe it or not, I'll tell my dad !"

A sneer came from upstairs: "I'm still afraid that you won't succeed?"

"Okay! Then I'll tell your dad! See how your dad teaches you!"

upstairs:"……"

I don't know what taboo this sentence violated, suddenly a long tail was thrown down upstairs, and it was unceremoniously smacked at the man's body. As the crowd watched, Ming Hong picked up the man with one hand and the long tail with the other, and rushed upstairs.

Yan Shi: "..."

Luo Yunsong: "...it's going to be cold after eating."

After eating half of the meal, Ming Hong and a disheveled man came down, with a sullen face, and followed behind them.

The man was unwilling to leave like this, and wanted to fight for it: "Hey, good buddy, why don't you just do me a favor? What's the problem?"

Yazi scolded angrily: "Who is your buddy! Don't pretend to be familiar here!"

"Heh, are you still shameless?" The man became angry again.

The two glared at each other angrily, and Ming Hong stopped between them: "Alright, alright, prince, young master, each of you should say a word, stop arguing, it's time for business!"

The man sat on the chair angrily, and when he looked up, he found that Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong were staring at him intently.

The man is wearing small earrings, a T-shirt and jeans, but the loose fabric can't hide his strong muscles. If you buckle a hard hat on him, it will be a piece of material to carry around on the construction site.

The man was so restless by the sight, he simply waved his hands and left, Luo Yunsong shouted: "Stay strong man!"

Luo Yunsong was born in broadcasting and is very sensitive to sound. He felt that this guy's voice was very familiar, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt like a certain guy, so he tentatively asked, "Ao Lie?"

"Hey, you guys know me?" Ao Lie was surprised.

"I know! Of course I know!" Luo Yunsong quickly made friends.

Ao Lie had fought with Yazi all afternoon, and he was very hungry. He saw some acquaintances (although he didn't know them), so he sat down cheekily and ate with them.

Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong are both veterans of the world. After chatting for a few words, we can see that Ao Lie is easy to talk, thick-skinned, and familiar with himself. If there is no accident, he will get along like a fish in water in society. It's a pity Yes, I don't know what kind of bad luck this kid has, where he goes to suffer, even moving bricks at the construction site can collapse a wall of others.

Yazi said coldly: "Prince, I think you'd better go home early."

"Prince?" Luo Yunsong was curious.

Yazi pointed at Ao Lie: "He, a typical rich second generation, has everything at home, and delicacies from mountains and seas every day. I really don't understand why he ran out. He is raised at home, and he still needs to find a job?"

Minghong peeled the prawns, dipped them in the sauce, and fed them to Jai Zi. The two of them were used to being crooked, but they didn’t feel anything, but Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong felt uncomfortable. Ao Lie glanced at Ya Zi. :"you……"

Minghong kissed Yazi: "Yeah."

"Does his parents know?"

"I know." Minghong said, "He even beat me up."

Ao Lie said quietly: "It's great, I have a job, and I found another half. It's not like me. I was kicked out by my father. I didn't get a job, and neither did my wife. Alas, it's hard."

Yan Shi comforted: "Your dad is doing it for your own good. Going out to the society to exercise and exercise will open your eyes. Otherwise, what's the point of staying at home all day?"

Ao Lie grumbled bitterly, pawing at the rice: "Yeah, after harming the family, continue to harm the world."

Yan Shi: "..."

Luo Yunsong: "..." Well, this kid is self-aware.

Guests came in one after another, Ming Hong and Ya Zi hurriedly finished their meal, and went to entertain the guests, Ming Hong opened a separate private room for them, the crown prince was slow to eat, so the dining table was moved into the private room for him to continue eating.

The prince finally picked up the meal, and then picked up the fruit: "Oh, I haven't eaten fruit for a long time. I am poor and have no money to buy."

Yan Shi sweated a lot. The negative energy of the prince is too strong. It is estimated that the family cut off his pocket money and let him rely on himself. As a result, he still has no stable job. If he has no job, he has no income. Thinking about it this way, the prince is really It was bitter enough, and before the topic got too far, Yan Shi hurriedly asked: "About those water sounds, do you remember?"

Ao Lie nodded: "I remember, of course I remember, it's annoying."

In order to prevent Miss Chen's situation from happening again, Yan Shi asked him the date when he heard the sound of water again. Ao Lie was not confused, he remembered it very clearly, and reported the date, which was the same as the last answer.

Luo Yunsong thought for a while and asked, "Apart from the sound of water, did you see anything else?"

As soon as he reminded him, Ao Lie let out an ah, and slapped his thigh, Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong immediately regained their spirits, and stared at him with wide eyes.

"There is also a very fat shadow!" Ao Lie said as expected.

Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

now it's right!Sure enough, Ao Lie is also a person in the seven-day cycle!

Luo Yunsong asked anxiously: "And then?"

Ao Lie's seed must be kept no matter what. Too many people have lost their lives. The appearance of the shadow has already shown that the matter has reached a very serious level. Luo Yunsong was pushed into the water by that thing and almost drowned. I have lingering fears.

Ao Lie thought for a while and said, "I thought it was a thief, which made me nervous all night, but I didn't lose anything, so I didn't care."

Luo Yunsong: "..."

Luo Yunsong pushed Yan Shi weakly: "I'm convinced! You can ask!"

Yan Shi said, "Did you wear any amulets?"

Ao Lie shook his head.

"Did that shadow do anything to you?"

"Ah? What are you doing... um..." Ao Lie seemed to be unable to remember.

"Then... do you still remember, did you do anything special that day when you heard the sound of water?"

"Yes." Ao Lie said, "I dropped the alarm clock."

Luo Yunsong jumped up all of a sudden.

Ao Lie said again: "The lighter also fell."

Luo Yunsong sat back and wiped his face.

Ao Lie continued: "I also dropped the ashtray, alas, anyway the alarm clock went off, the lighter and the ashtray also went off."

That morning, Ao Lie didn't pay attention when pressing the alarm clock, and swept the alarm clock, lighter and ashtray to the ground, and they fell one after another. It exploded, he happened to have an interview that day, and because of being too nervous, the wound on his head oozes blood again, so he bleeds while interviewing, scaring a lot of people to pee, and the sound of water he heard is It sounded during the interview, and he thought it was the sound of his own blood dripping on the ground, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, so he became more careful, and did not expect the sound of water to follow, especially in the middle of the night. The water dripped and leaked beside his bed, which prevented him from sleeping well for several nights.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Luo Yunsong shook his shoulders, and wrote strictly, almost laughing, Ao Lie asked them for a cigarette, and smoked it with a sad face.

Yan Yan drew a circle on his notebook, and circled the part from when Ao Lie got up to the interview. All the clues pointed to this. During this period, Ao Lie must have done something unusual. Miss, Mr. Xu, like them, people in the seven-day cycle must have done the same thing unknowingly.

Is it really an alarm clock?

Impossible!

"Then do you remember what happened on the seventh day?" Yan Shi asked.

"The seventh day?" Ao Lie thought for a while, "Oh, I went to the hot spring that day."

"……Hot springs?"

"Eat sushi, fish hot pot, and then continue to soak." Ao Lie said with a smile, "I sold equipment for thousands of dollars that day, so I went out to celebrate."

"Just you going alone?"

"correct."

Yan Shi was depressed, he really couldn't think of how to ask, why is the day of crossing the catastrophe so normal for this kid?

Luo Yunsong pressed his cigarette butt and asked, "Did that shadow follow you?"

Ao Lie: "Yes."

Luo Yunsong: "!"

Ao Lie: "I can't drive it away, and I don't want to steal anything, so I just let it go."

Luo Yun stayed on the side softly, unable to complain.

Yan Shi signaled Luo Yun to relax, and let him ask. Yan Shi felt that he had grasped the key point, and asked confidently: "Then what are you doing around midnight?"

Ao Lie: "Soak in the hot spring."

Yan Shi: "..."

Ao Lie thought about it again: "I fell asleep while soaking, and woke up at two o'clock in the morning. If you ask me, I can't remember."

Yan Shi also softened, looking at the ceiling with a cigarette in his mouth with the same expression as Luo Yunsong, Ao Lie peeled an orange for each of them.

Finally, Yan Shi said, "Well, we'll go find you tomorrow night, are you at home?"

Tomorrow is Ao Lie's catastrophe day, no matter whether he can help or not, Yan Shi is determined to see with his own eyes how this guy survived the catastrophe.
