Chapter 12: A Shift in Mindset

Hospitals, stations, airports, banks, telecommunications companies and other important public places were in a panic because of this sudden power outage. Of course, many of the military's facilities have also been affected by the power outage, so this power outage has made the country's senior leaders pay great attention to it. If the power outage is not man-made, it is fine, but if it is man-made, then many people will be restless about it.

Of course, He Cheng is just an ordinary person, a poor **, not to mention a power outage of 11 minutes, even if the power outage is 11 hours, it will not have much impact on him, at most he can't play games online. He didn't care about the power outage, but he thought it was dark last night, and thought it was a haunted, but it turned out to be a national power outage.

For him, the biggest difference between this power outage is that it used to be a precinct by district, but last night it was all stopped, and there was no advance notice.

After half an hour of cold water in the toilet, He Cheng felt that he was a lot clearer, if it weren't for the lack of physical discomfort, he would have thought he was sick, but he always had a feeling of recovering from a serious illness.

When He Cheng was eating noodles at a noodle restaurant, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and he had slept long enough. He flipped through his phone while eating, and suddenly another piece of news flashed on the screen of his phone, which said that last night was not only a 11-minute power outage in Huaxia, but also a 11-minute power outage in all countries and regions around the world. According to the findings released by authoritative astronomers and scientists in the United States, the cause of the power outage is likely to be caused by the space magnetic field and abnormal radiation, and the specific cause needs to be further investigated. However, one thing they said for sure, the location of the anomaly must be within the Huaxia region, and more precisely, the southern region of the Huaxia Kingdom.

This news was subsequently recognized by the authorities of Huaxia State, and they more accurately determined that the cause of the anomaly was an area of Binhai City, but the cause could not be confirmed, and the specific was still under investigation.

However, these He Cheng are just boring to look at, he can't understand the rhetoric of these authoritative departments, and he won't care too much. Let those who should worry about these things worry, the most important thing he needs to worry about now is whether his salary has arrived, he sent a WeChat message to He Ze, and the answer he got was that it would be done within this week, the same as He Cheng guessed.

After filling his stomach casually, he habitually walked into the Internet café downstairs, when he swiped his ID card and sat in the position where he often sits, he did not turn on the computer, but stared at the black screen in a daze, but he did not turn on the computer after all, and quickly ran out of the Internet café after a while. After coming out, He Cheng took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, and there was an indescribable ease in his heart, he suddenly found that his favorite place in the past suddenly had some disgust, glanced back at the big signboard of the Internet café, and then wandered aimlessly on the street.

Coming out of the Internet café and walking on the bustling street, He Cheng looked around, as if he was a curious boy who had just come to the city from the countryside, and couldn't help but take a look at everything he saw. His heart suddenly calmed down, looking at everything around him. Suddenly, he felt that all this around him was so strange and fresh, completely different from what he had subconsciously been, maybe he hadn't bothered to see it before.

Eventually, He slipped to a stop at the door of a park, a community park not far from where he lived. Although it was not far away, He Cheng had never set foot in the park, and he had spent almost all his free time in the middle of the house and in the Internet café.

After hesitating for a moment, He Cheng still walked in. At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and gradually the street lights came on. There are really a lot of people in the park, there are old men and old ladies who are holding each other and walking together, they are talking and laughing, and their faces are full of happiness; In the open space of the square is a group of energetic aunts dancing in the square, looking at their light steps, He Cheng feels that he is older than these aunts; The basketball court was full of cheers, a sturdy man was competing for basketball, there were many people watching on the sidelines, once upon a time, He Cheng was also obsessed with basketball; There are also sword dancers, tai chi players, chess players, and reading books in the park

He Cheng found a slightly shady place and sat directly on the lawn, he didn't want others to see his dejected appearance. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but pull out the mobile phone in his trouser pocket and the lighter in his other hand. Suddenly, He Cheng paused, then withdrew his hand from his pocket, not bringing anything out.

He Cheng lay down on the lawn, a scent of grass and earth inhaling his nostrils, a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time. Since entering the city, I have been busy for so many years, and what have I gained! Life? No, life is a mess right now; Undertaking? Hehe, now he is one of the vagrants; Affection? What did you do for your family other than calling to say hello? Love? It's been several years since the dog was single

Just as He Cheng was making a report on his achievements over the years, not far from him, a group of young men and women were hugging each other and whispering.

Under the shadow of the tree, the woman asked the man: "It would be nice if this moment of time could be stopped, we can hold like this and never be separated!" ”

"It doesn't take time to stop, we can be together forever and not separated!" The man replied categorically.

"Will you always love me like that for the rest of your life?" The woman then asked, and then her breathing was a little heavier, indicating that she was a little nervous.

"I swear to God! I will always love Xu Jing like this for the rest of my life, if I can't do it, I will be thundered by the sky! The man swore solemnly.

"Humph! The devil believes in your oath, and they all say that a man's oath is the least valuable and the most unreliable" Although the girl said this, it was difficult to hide her happiness in her words.

Listening to the dialogue between the two people, He Cheng felt a lot of emotion in his heart, such an old-fashioned dialogue may seem a little naïve at his current age, but who can deny that he didn't say it at the beginning?! He Cheng had no doubt about the sincerity of the boy's oath at this moment, but it was difficult to say whether he could truly fulfill this promise for the rest of his life.

"Later, I finally learned how to love, but it's a pity for you" The bell rang, waking up the pensive He Cheng and the little couple who were talking about love next to him.

"Hey! Where did the death go? Lao Tzu said let you wait for me at home, I knocked for a long time and no one was there, and there was no one in the Internet café downstairs, what are you doing? Xiao Pi's angry roar came from the phone, and he came to He Cheng's residence and did not go upstairs, but went directly to the Internet café downstairs to find He Cheng.

"I'm visiting the park!" He Cheng replied.

"Visiting the park? Are you sure? Holy shit, you're not crazy, are you? Pippi was very surprised.

He Cheng said calmly: "I watched them play basketball in the park, where are you going to play tonight?" ”

Hearing the Yixing in He Cheng's tone, Xiao Pi scolded angrily: "Don't worry where you go, you are limited to appearing in front of Lao Tzu within five minutes, otherwise don't say that you have my brother in the future!" "Usually when I say that there is a show, where to play He Cheng will be enthusiastic and ask non-stop, today his abnormality made Xiaopi really start to worry about He Cheng.

He Cheng picked up his mobile phone, got up and said to the couple behind him, "I'm sorry!" He hurried home.

Seeing that He Cheng's mental state is okay, he just lacks interest in anything. Pi relented and forced him into a taxi, which stopped at the door of a bar called Glass Bottle.

After getting out of the car, Xiaopi forcibly dragged the extremely reluctant He Cheng into the bar. After entering, He Cheng went straight to a dim corner and sat down. Xiaopi had no choice but to sit in the corner with him. After ordering two glasses of unknown drinks, Xiaopi whispered in He Cheng's ear: "Nima's, come to the bar to play, you just sit in such a corner?" Want to play with birds on your own? ”

"You know very well that I never come to such a noisy place, I don't drink, I don't dance, why did you bring me here? I might as well stay in an Internet café! After He Cheng finished speaking, he took a sip of the hot wine in the cup.

After that, Xiao Pila He Cheng went to jump, but no matter how he pulled, He Cheng didn't go, he never danced, there was no reason, he just didn't like it, he felt that it was better to go out and run a few laps like this.

"Glass Bottle" is a very distinctive bar, the decoration inside is almost all made of a variety of glass decoration, glass styles are varied, colors are even more varied, all kinds of glass is very well matched. Some reflect the light and shine, and some are projected through the glass, which is soft and has a hazy beauty. The whole feels like being in a glass world, as if living in a glass bottle.

Looking at the people who were intoxicated and jumping under the bright lights, He Cheng felt bored, sitting there drinking stuffy wine, and looking at his mobile phone boringly.

He saw an additional report on the news in the morning on his mobile phone, reporting that the cause of last night's power outage was that the magnetic field of an unknown black hole in space released energy fluctuations that interfered with the normal operation of the earth's magnetic field. Experts believe that this unidentified magnetic field fluctuation is like the release of a certain signal, but somewhere on Earth is the receiving point of such a signal source. After many investigations, the place where the source of this signal was received was somewhere in Binhai City, and it is impossible to verify why this signal was generated and related details. The news reported this, which means that this matter has come to an end, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the general public.

No one knew that the culprit of the incident was now drinking in a bar in Marina City, and no one knew that the cause of the incident was an antique computer.
