Chapter 428: The Flow of Time
At the beginning of the day, the streets are full of people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A middle-aged man in formal attire is walking aimlessly down the street.
Although he is in a high position and has a lot of money, he is used to taking his own car home from work every day, but tonight, he did not choose to do so.
"Let me walk outside alone." This is what he said to his assistant when he got out of the car.
At this moment, the black premium car was moving slowly on the side of the road, following his pace.
The 24-hour convenience store sign on the side of the street flickered faintly, and the man looked up at the store and walked straight inside.
"Ding Dong ~ Welcome."
The electronic sound of the sensor sounded at the right time.
The man frowned.
The voice made him slightly nauseous.
Maybe it's a matter of habit.
There was a teller standing at the counter, who was heating up a bento.
The microwave oven was spinning, and the characteristic 'hum' sound filled the small, quiet shop.
The man's leather shoes made a clattering sound against the hard floor.
He slowly walked over to the snack shelf and picked up a bag of potato chips.
He didn't know why he wanted to eat potato chips, but when he saw them, he subconsciously reached out his hand.
"Strawberry-flavored potato chips......" he quietly looked at the label on the potato chip bag, "can you really eat potato chips with this flavor?" β
So he shook his head, put the chips back in his hand, and began to look for his next target.
Then he picked up another bag of chips.
"Mint-flavored ......," he picked up and looked at it, frowning, "Why do the potato chips on the market taste so strange now?" β
After picking up and putting down the orange, yogurt, banana and grape flavored chips in order, the man finally gave up and chose the strawberry flavor at the beginning.
At least in fruits, he doesn't hate strawberries.
Even the strawberry-flavored chips are still so unacceptable.
And the reason why he had to buy potato chips was only because he wanted to do it in his heart.
"It's unreasonable." The man shook his head a little disappointed, "There isn't a single normal flavor of potato chips in this convenience store." β
But even though he said that, he still walked to the counter with the berry-red bag of potato chips in his hand.
The bento behind the counter was still heating up.
So the man knocked on the surface of the counter, trying to attract the teller's attention.
He is not a person who likes to speak to strangers, so when he needs to speak, he often chooses to make a voice instead.
"Ah, hello, is this what you're buying?" The girl asked, turning to the potato chips in the man's hand.
The man nodded.
The number of the timer on the microwave behind the girl jumped to 0:05.
"Okay." The girl took the code scanner on the side and scanned it on the potato chips.
"Tick." Familiar tones.
At this point, the microwave timer behind the girl becomes 0:03.
The man didn't care about the girl's back, his eyes were just fixed on the potato chips.
He just wanted to buy the chips and take them apart and eat them.
He doesn't care about how the chips taste.
Because he only cares about the act of 'eating'.
It's not so much that he wants to eat potato chips, but that he just wants to feel what it's like to chew potato chips.
And this feeling is what prompted him to walk home and walk into the convenience store.
"Hello, it's twenty-five dollars in total." The girl smiled and handed the chips back to the man.
Twenty-five dollars.
This price is still cheap in this era when a bottle of mineral water costs six yuan.
The timer behind the girl became 0:01.
The man took the chips, only to find that he had no money.
Also.
With a lot of money, he doesn't buy things by himself on weekdays, unless there is a big transaction, otherwise he won't even bring a bank card with him.
All of his belongings except the keys were on his assistant.
And his assistant -- was in the car outside the convenience store at the moment.
"Hmm." The man cleared his throat, he always needed to prepare before talking to strangers, "I'll put the chips here first, and wait for me to get the money back in the car, okay?" β
He tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, so that his words could have some positive effect on the outcome of the conversation.
"Ah, no problem, sir." The teller smiled and didn't seem to care about this, anyway, for her, as long as the customer didn't forcibly take the goods from the store, then it didn't matter what the customer said.
The man nodded, feeling that the success of this conversation was based on his own calm tone, so he strode out of the door of the convenience store and towards his car.
Strangely, when he went out this time, the tone did not sound.
However, he didn't seem to notice this because he hated the sound.
When the girl saw the man leaving, she turned around and checked her lunch.
However, what happened in front of her made her feel a little surprised.
The microwave time stopped at 0:01.
β¦β¦
"Origin, time stops, time - stop!!!"
The glow hourglass raised his right hand high into the air, and immediately after, an enchantment with a diameter of five meters instantly unfolded around his body.
"Whewβa thousand shots." The glow hourglass couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he looked at the flame lotus flower that happened to be wrapped in the time-stopping realm.
However, the metaphysical engraving on the side is not so easy.
"This ...... This is, the origin? She looked at the gray spherical barrier in front of her in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Anyway, this matter will be exposed sooner or later, so it's better to explain it to her sooner.
That's what the glow hourglass thinks.
"Don't talk, I'll talk about something later, let me take care of the matter in front of me first!" Glow Hourglass pinched the time in his heart, and shouted without looking back as he pulled out a large bundle of ice-blue charms from his belt bag.
The metaphysical mark looked at the unusual glow hourglass in front of him, and then he also obeyed his words and fell silent.
Then I saw the glow hourglass sprinkle those ice-blue freezing charms on the surface of the huge fire lotus like a goddess scattering flowers, and then those charms stopped steadily above it because of the time stopping, as if they were tightly glued to it.
There are still two seconds left before the end of the stoppage.
Glow Hourglass's legs sprang rapidly, his hands pulling stacks of freeze charms from his waist bags and spilling them over the areas that weren't yet covered.
One second!
"Caught up!"
The glow hourglass pasted the last of the Freeze Charm beyond the last bare flame.
Then, time began to flow again.
