Chapter 267: The Sand Stops

The glow hourglass logged into the game as usual with the breath of the early morning, and everything was as ordinary and quiet as ever. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He sat down by the window, letting the morning sun shine on him.

Glow Hourglass lifted the brush and looked up at the wall clock.

Eight o'clock in the morning, not a minute, a second is not a lot.

"Good." He nodded, looking back at his desk.

The table was littered with charms that he hadn't finished drawing yesterday, and he had decided to finish them all today.

For some reason, he felt that he was in a much better mood today than usual.

After thinking about it, he thought it might be because the strange feeling was gone.

That's right, the little snake that flowed in his blood and the light veil that covered his internal organs disappeared inexplicably this morning.

And disappeared without a trace, without any signs or residues.

It's like it never happened.

"Well, forget it, since it's going to disappear, I can't stop it?" Smiling with relief, the glow hourglass dipped the brush in the inkstone next to him and drew his first stroke of the day.

What he's depicting is a tarot card.

When the pen fell, the first thing that was drawn was a Roman numeral.

XXI, which is twenty-one.

This tarot card is Sequence 21: World.

The main reason why Glow Hourglass started to draw tarot cards was because the feeling of wonder was gone, and he could use a lot of magic without any scruples.

Tarot cards, on the other hand, are the one that consumes the most mana.

Losing that sense of oppression, Glow Hourglass felt that his pen was much lighter, like a traveler who had left his luggage on his back, relaxed and enjoyable.

In this state, a tarot card was quickly revealed in full under the glow hourglass's hand, and he didn't even feel like he had spent much effort.

"Whew...... That's awesome. He looked at the 'world' on the table and couldn't help but sigh, "While it feels good now, draw a few more spells, and then go to level up, I can't lose too much to that Eternal Night Threshold Song." ā€

As soon as he said it, the glow hourglass immediately sat up straight, lifted the brush, and began to draw again.

But speaking of which, I don't know what's going on today, Cranberry surprisingly didn't come to him.

In the past, Cranberry would come to see the Glow Hourglass before going to school at about half past eight, but today, the Glow Hourglass has even drawn a tarot card, and the Cranberry has not yet come, which really makes him feel a little strange.

Maybe she had something to do with her, she thought as the glow hourglass drew the flame burst charm.

Or maybe she overslept and was now worrying about whether she would be late.

Thinking of this, the glow hourglass couldn't help but laugh.

He wasn't worried about cranberries at all.

Such a cute little girl, and she treats people so kindly, even the kidnappers who specialize in kidnapping children will be influenced by her.

Her cuteness is something that even autistic people can't refuse.

A smile tugged at the corner of Glow Hourglass's mouth.

A good mood and a good state determine the efficiency of the work, and in the time when he was thinking about the cranberries just now, the glow hourglass has quickly completed ten flame burst charms and twenty freezing charms, which is not a quick efficiency.

"I'm a little tired, but I just finished drawing tarot cards and started doing this kind of work again." Glow Hourglass put down the brush and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "But the efficiency is really high, from the time I drew the tarot cards just now, it is estimated that it will only take less than an hour." ā€

"......Less than an hour," Glow Hourglass said, looking up at the wall clock on the wall.

The expression on his face stiffened, and his gaze was nailed to the clock.

The air around was dead silent.

"This ...... What's going on? Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and now he was like a butterfly trapped in a glass jar, not knowing what was going on.

The wall clock on the wall still pointed to eight o'clock in the morning, not a minute, a second is not enough.

"This clock...... I guess it's broken. Glow Hourglass smiled awkwardly, trying to make herself think like she was overthinking.

So he got up and took the clock down.

However, when he took off the wall clock, his face turned even paler.

Here is the game.

The wall clock in the game does not require a battery and has no internal structure.

Rather, the time in the game is synchronized, and the wall clock is just an ornament that is easy to see.

If you really care about time, why not open the menu and look directly at the system time?

That's right, system time! Glow Hourglass thought of this and immediately reached for the button in the system menu.

However, his hand hovered over it, and he did not dare to fall.

What is he afraid of?

He was afraid of the truth.

But in the end, the truth will always be revealed, whether you want it or not.

So he pressed the button still tremblingly.

Hanging at the top of the system menu is the system time, a rectangular patchwork of numbers that make up all of it.

The glow hourglass looked up.

The digital clock shimmered in front of his eyes.

08:00:00

Eight o'clock, not a minute is much, a second is not a lot.

Time, literally stopped.

No wonder he felt like time was passing very slowly when he drew the talisman today.

No wonder Cranberries didn't come to him today.

Although it was hard to explain, and no one even explained to him what was going on, the glow hourglass understood one thing.

It's definitely a big deal, absolutely.

Glow Hourglass couldn't sit still any longer, and he immediately got up and walked to the door of the room, then pushed open the front door of his room.

He was stunned by the scene before him.

The sun froze in the air, the breezy leaves stagnated in the air, a tiny mosquito froze in front of the glowing hourglass, two pairs of crystal wings reflecting a shimmering light in the air.

But none of that matters.

What really shocked him was the man standing in front of him.

It was a cute little girl.

And the ID on her head proves her identity.

Cranberries.

Her innocent smiling face froze in the air, and the sunlight of the last second was still preserved in her eyes.

"She's here to say good morning to me." Glow Hourglass looked at the little girl in front of him and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Everything is completely frozen in this plane.

But.

"Why...... Why am I the only one who hasn't been affected in any way? Glow Hourglass looked at his hands and couldn't help but ask the question he had been wanting to ask since just now.

It all happened so suddenly that he didn't even know where to start thinking.

"Woohoo." An eerie sound effect sounded behind him.

The glow hourglass immediately turned its head to look at the movement behind him.

I saw a spatial crack slowly unfold in front of his eyes, and then a person slowly walked out of it.

"Oh my God...... I'm really going to ask Kotojuro to give me a salary increase this month! ā€

The man had words in his mouth and stood on this still land.
