The last fifty-two: the magical black cat, the rift in time and space

"What kind of name would you like to give it other than Einstein? Fall that. Honghe asked with a wink.

Liu ...... How is Liu Yu? I stammered in reply, subconsciously saying my own name.

"Liu Yu? You don't have a talent for naming cats! Honghe didn't seem to be satisfied: "By the way, do you like to read novels?" Fall that. ”

"Novels? Is it the kind of "meet an enemy today, meet a beautiful woman tomorrow, meet a monster the day after tomorrow, and have an adventure the day after tomorrow"? I've read a lot of that on the Internet, and those authors have probably prepared a few pieces of paper, respectively writing enemies, beauties, monsters, and adventures, and then twisting them into a ball to draw lots, and whichever one you catch, I'll write which one today......"

"Haha, when you say this, it seems that it is indeed like that!" Red River was amused by my words.

"There are many people who write novels, but there are very few people who can really write novels, and pompous words and sentences can't hide empty souls! Many of the works are nothing more than cheap fast food on the ideological level! ”

"Huh? You seem to know a lot, do you know how to write novels? Fall that. ”

"I won't, I'm just bragging, yes, that ...... Can I ask for your ......" I plucked up the courage to say on my own, accosting girls is not something I'm good at.

"Do you want my mobile number?" Red River seems to have seen through my thoughts.

I nodded awkwardly.

"What's so embarrassing about that? What a coward you are in the forty-fourth century, give! Honghe handed me a business card: "But ......"

She wanted to speak, but she stopped.

I didn't expect it to go so well, and I couldn't help but despise myself a little for my cowardice, but with the contact information, even if we officially met.

I silently memorized the mobile phone number on that business card.

“…… By the way, Luona, where do you currently work? ”

"I ...... I plan to continue my studies at the Deaulet Academy of Sciences. "Red River's question reminded me of going to work, and I lied to make a good impression that I couldn't tell her I was unemployed.

"Huh?! Are you sure? Then we'll be classmates from now on! "Red River seems to believe my words.

"Yes...... Oh, yes. I replied awkwardly.

Squeaked ~~~~~, suddenly, the 502 bus came with a sharp brake sound.

Honghe and I almost fell to the ground, and I quickly stood up and wondered what was going on.

It turned out to be a little girl who suddenly ran onto the road to pick up a toy soccer ball that had rolled out, not noticing the approach of bus 502.

"Danger! Don't go over! I yelled anxiously in the car.

Although the driver applied the brakes sharply, the bus was about to crash into the little girl under the action of strong inertia.

No! I don't want to see this bloody scene happening right in front of my eyes, but it's too late......

A middle-aged woman in pain knelt on the ground and cried loudly, the crowd of onlookers, the embarrassed expression, the scene was crowded.

I saw the bright red blood on the wheels and the young body of the little girl who had lost her life.

All this has happened, and what has happened cannot be changed, I ...... Powerless.

However, the image of a little girl smiling at me suddenly came to my mind......

I shook my head, trying to get the strange sensation out of my head.

Suddenly, the black cat flashed with a dazzling light, which seemed to resist the flow of time.

A strange scene happened, the noisy crowd fell silent suddenly, and the whole world seemed to suddenly stop moving.

Everyone and every car on the road froze, even the juice that was knocked over not far away was frozen in mid-air.

It's like admiring a still picture.

At the same time, a space-time rift suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of me.

In this rift in time and space, the scene of the moment before the car accident emerges: the picture of the 502 bus about to hit the little girl is still frozen.

The black cat quickly rushed towards the rift, and successfully passed through this seemingly ridiculous rift in time and space, and hit the little girl hard in the rift.

Then, the black cat quickly jumped away from the rift, and the rift disappeared in an instant.

It all happened very briefly, probably less than 20 seconds before and after.

The little girl suddenly threw herself on the side of the road at the last moment, and was not hit by the 502 bus.

The usual noise was restored, and the juice not far away spilled to the ground.

As the bus slowly passed by the little girl, I looked at her through the window.

I saw her mother lifting her up from the ground and patting the dust on her body.

The little girl smiled at me, exactly as I had in my mind.

I breathed a sigh of relief, as if I had just had a nightmare.

"Huh?! Are you sure? Then we'll be classmates from now on! The sound of the Red River came to my ears again.

I still remember what had just happened, even though I pretended it was just daydreaming.

But that sense of realism made me believe that the magical black cat had just done something unthinkable, and it seemed to be able to manipulate time.

"Hey, are you listening? Fall that! "The sound of the Red River brought my distracted thoughts back to reality.

"Ah...... That one...... I...... I'm listening! I hurriedly responded.

"What's wrong with you? Why was you suddenly stunned? Honghe laughed. It seems that Red River doesn't seem to know what just happened, maybe the black cat just wants me to witness its miracle alone.

"I didn't ...... Nothing......" I looked back at the black cat, the cat's eyes were already deep and weird, and it was even more difficult to figure out at the moment.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from my consciousness.

"If you want to know the truth, come to the watch shop on Xinfeng Road tomorrow afternoon......"

"Yes...... Are you talking to me? I asked, staring into the black cat's eyes.

I don't know if the black cat understood me, but I'm sure of its magic now.

When the bus arrived, I got off the bus and the black cat disappeared into the night.

Lying on the bed in the rental room, I tossed and turned, recalling what had happened today.

A rift in space? It sounds like something out of science fiction, but it's actually happening to me today.

Although it was a pleasure to know the Red River, the presence of the black cat diverted my attention, and my mind was now focused on what it said to me.

Xinfeng Road is a street that I often go to, and I don't think there are any shops such as clock shops, so maybe it's a new one, so let's take a look tomorrow afternoon.

There are so many strange things happening around me one after another in the past few days, and I don't have a clue at all, but I have to think about it.

Am I cursed? What the hell happened to some ancient wizard chanting a mysterious spell that trapped me in another dimension or something?!

I covered my head with the quilt and tried to make it look like a dream, from which I hoped to wake up, but it was futile and only increased my suffocation in the bed.

I felt very tired, I don't know why, I don't usually feel so strong at this time of time, it was like the feeling of being drained of energy, and I fell asleep in the bed in a daze.

…… …… ……

The next afternoon, I set out towards the mystery and came to Xinfeng Road.

The street called "Xinfeng Road" is not very long, and as far as the eye can see, I quickly found an antique watch shop called "Time Corridor".

This should be the case, there is no second watch shop on this street. Sure enough, it was a newly opened store.

I gently pushed the door open and was immediately fascinated by the sight of all kinds of strange clocks and watches.

It's no exaggeration to say that there are more clocks in this shop than all the clocks I've ever seen in my life combined.

The only thing they have in common is time.

"Welcome to the Corridor of Time, is there anything we can do for you?"

Following the prestige, I saw a silver-haired man walk out of the inner room, although he looked like a middle-aged and elderly person, but judging from his bright eyes, he was not an ordinary middle-aged and elderly person.

However, it doesn't matter, the purpose of my trip is because of that magical black cat.

"Hello, do you have a black cat in your store?" Going to the watch shop and asking if there is a black cat is a very strange question.

However, the silver-haired man didn't seem surprised at all.
