The alarm clock didn't go off, but Ning Siyi still woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info lay on the bed and rolled around, feeling a little depressed, obviously she didn't have to get up early to go to work, why did she wake up so early!

Since she went to college, she has been busy like a spinning top every day at school and where she works. Others go shopping, dating, and playing around on holidays, but she is desperately looking for holiday workers and temporary workers to earn living expenses. Later, after graduating, she found a civilian job in an advertising agency with a decent salary, and she didn't have to run at both ends like when she was studying, but she didn't really have much time for herself, often working overtime until midnight, and was often pulled on duty on holidays. I wanted to take a good rest before finding a new job, but I didn't get my wish, so she didn't have that happy life.

Got up from the bed, picked up the mobile phone and found that WeChat and QQ had unread messages, opened it and looked, it turned out to be a notice from the company to clear her out of the group. Ning Siyi pulled all the contacts in WeChat and found that in addition to a few colleagues in the same department, there were only two contacts left, one was a college roommate, and the other was a landlord.

She tugged at her own chicken coop, and for the first time in her life realized how dead her character was. She hoped that one day she would disappear from the world, and no one would find out.

After boiling some millet porridge and eating breakfast with pickles, Ning Siyi changed her clothes and went out, there was no refrigerator in the rented place, and she had to go to the nearby market every day to buy vegetables.

The morning dish is a little more expensive, but it is fresh and varied. In the past, she couldn't buy fresh vegetables when she rushed to work during the day, and when she came home from work at night, she would buy some when she saw what was left on the stall.

In the past few days of unemployment, she has a lot of time, every day leisurely strolling to the vegetable market to choose the vegetables she wants to eat, seeing those fresh green, with dew drops of vegetables neatly and vibrantly, this morning's depression when she got up was swept away.

I picked a pound of rape, bought a wooden fish, and finally bought a box of eggs and a few tomatoes, and when I passed by the tofu stall, I saw the white and tender tofu, and remembered that I hadn't drunk the smooth and rich fish head tofu soup for a long time, so I brought a little more.

With a full load of dishes in her hand, Ning Siyi calculated, today's food was a bit overspending, but she didn't care about smiling, even if this meal was to comfort herself and cheer herself up, she would work harder to make money and integrate into the new circle more hard in the future.

After buying groceries at 10 o'clock, she quickened her pace and walked to the rental house, she submitted her resume to several companies yesterday, and she may receive an interview notice today, she has to go back to see the mailbox quickly.

Suddenly, a tall figure hurriedly crossed her from behind, the swinging arm hit her shoulder, Ning Siyi was caught off guard and stumbled, the tomato in her left hand fell off her hand and fell to the ground, and several red and bright tomatoes rolled out, and even she almost fell to the ground.

When she stood on her feet and looked up, she saw that the figure who had almost knocked her down was already a hundred paces away.

Black back.

Walking unsteadily, I didn't know what I was looking for, I looked around, I felt a little embarrassed and anxious, and soon I turned into a narrow alley and disappeared.

Ning Siyi rubbed the shoulder that was hit, and secretly complained that she was unlucky, but fortunately her eggs were not knocked off. Ning Siyi put down her hand rubbing her shoulders and was about to clean up the tomatoes on the ground, when she found that her right hand was sticky and not quite right, she turned over her palm and looked at it, and instantly gasped.

Piercing red!

It turned out to be the blood of a hand. Ning Siyi immediately turned her head to look at her shoulder, the black cotton T-shirt, she couldn't see anything, but she clearly smelled a strong smell of blood.

Ning Siyi was stunned, the blood stain was the person just now, and when he hit her, he rubbed the blood on his shoulder, and the injury must have been not light. Now there was an obvious cold **** feeling on her shoulder, and there was a strong smell of blood rust, and her whole body was stiff.

Ning Siyi didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly packed up his tomatoes and prepared to leave. When she looked down, she saw a small thing lying at her feet, and she squatted down to pick it up and saw that it was a pocket watch.

The pocket watch is not big, heavy in the hand, the ancient silver case, the case is engraved with patterns around it, and a metal chain of the same color is hung, the style is simple and simple, the dial is a little yellowed, the numbers on it are fancy Roman numerals, there is a hollow hole directly below the dial, you can see a few small gears inside, very exquisite. Two brown hands point to 10:30. She flipped over the back of her watch, and the back shell was very smooth, shining with the luster of an ancient silver ornament, which should have been often played with in the hand, and engraved with a few letters: Fatum.

Ning Siyi glanced at the alley where the black back disappeared, and tightened the watch in his hand, it should have been the person who fell. But the cold **** feeling on her shoulder told her that it was best not to touch this thing!

"It's something very important, he'll come back to find it."

She looked around, there were only a few pedestrians on the street, everyone lowered their heads and stared at the mobile phones in their hands, what had just happened did not attract anyone's attention at all. Ning Siyi sighed, after thinking about it, she still didn't dare to send things to the police station, she was not good at dealing with the police, not to mention that the smell of blood on her body was so strong, she didn't want to ask for trouble. Eventually, she hung her pocket watch on the fence of the green belt on the left and left with her belongings.

After walking dozens of meters, she glanced back at the pocket watch, the sun shone on it emitting a cold white light, there was no wind around, but the whole pocket watch was shaking slightly, as if it was alive.

An inexplicable sense of sadness rose in Ning Siyi's heart.

She shook her head violently, shook off the strange emotion, withdrew her gaze and strode home.

After lunch, Ning Siyi opened the mailbox, the inbox was empty, the company that sent the resume had not replied, she was bored to open the mobile phone news, and the home page was full of all kinds of news anecdotes:

A woman in City A lost contact for many days, and her body was in ・・・・・・

A tertiary hospital made a medical disturbance, and the patient's family hacked the attending doctor to death・・・・・・

There was a car accident on a certain section of the road, and the private car drove in the wrong direction and hit the container truck, and the owner of the private car died on the spot・・・・・・

A baby food was found to contain heavy metals, and experts said it did not affect consumption・・・・・・

Ning Si closed the webpage wordlessly, buried his face in the quilt, and an unspeakable sadness spread in his heart.

Human nature is refreshing the lower limit every day, full of contradictions, deception, violence, death, the world is like an apple eroded by bacteria, the surface is shiny, the inside is rotten and spoiled, disgusting, but everyone has become accustomed to it, and still lives their own little life unconsciously.

Ning Siyi was a little out of breath, she lifted the quilt and stared at the mottled ceiling, what are people living for? What's the point of the future? Surviving in a corrupt and twisted world, everyone is struggling, today is more desperate than yesterday, tomorrow is more desperate than today.

There is no light in the future, no hope in sight.

In that kind of future, she might as well not want it!

・・・・・・

Waking up groggily, still a little dizzy, she rubbed her eyes and saw the familiar ceiling.

"How long did I sleep?" She touched her phone and saw that it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and she had slept for more than 2 hours, if she slept again, she would definitely have insomnia tonight, so she got up from the bed, went to the bathroom to wash her face, and woke up.

The cold water stirred her upset, her head sank even more, she just slept not very well, she had been dreaming, the black back in the dream ran in front of her, and she had been chasing after him, still holding the silver pocket watch in her hand, and later, she fell under her feet, the pocket watch in her hand fell to the ground, and fell into powder, leaving only a smooth back cover, and the letters engraved on it shone with a bright white light, dazzling, she panicked and wanted to pick up the cover, but before she touched the cover, the person woke up.

"F-a-t-u-m" She turned on her phone and typed in the letters engraved on the cover of the pocket watch, her English level was average, this word was very eye-catching, so she had to look it up on the Internet. Soon, the phone screen showed the explanation:

Fatum: (Latin) Fate! Force majeure!

Destiny?! After Ning Siyi saw the annotation, she felt a little subtle, maybe it was affected by the dream, she faintly felt that the person she met today and the pocket watch was not over, in the dream, when the pocket watch fell to the ground and fell into powder, the black figure also disappeared at the same time, at that time, for a short moment, she felt that her whole body was cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

She tried to comfort herself, it was just a dream, she didn't have to care, but the silver light in the dream dangled in her mind, and she couldn't ignore it.

"Alas, forget it! Trouble is trouble. She couldn't convince herself not to care about the strange pocket watch, so she had to take another look.

She thought while changing her clothes: It's been so long, the pocket watch should not be in place, after all, the watch still looks very valuable, she just hung it on the side of the road so brightly, it was really eye-catching, if the owner found it in time and picked it up, it would be the best, otherwise it would be okay to be sent to the police station by a well-wisher, if it was taken away by a passerby, the owner of the pocket watch would definitely be very anxious.

Thinking about it this way, Ning Siyi felt a sense of inappropriate guilt. She is not an enthusiastic citizen, she just wants to live her life quietly, just be a little transparent, if she knows that things will cause trouble for herself, normal people will not do it, let alone her.

Helpless, now she has violated her own principles of doing things and wants to make trouble for herself, just because of a dream.

"If the watch is not in place, the matter will stop, and when nothing has happened, forget the blood on the hands, forget the black back, forget the strange pocket watch. If the watch was still there, she would have taken it to the lost and found office of the nearby police station in person, so that she would not feel guilty or afraid of getting into trouble. Ning Siyi figured it out and walked out with brisk steps.
