Chapter 1: Time and Space
Time flies, and 3 years have passed in a blink of an eye. Recalling the national ban on dogs three years ago, Wang Xian will feel particularly sad.
At that time, the relationship between dogs and people was very strained. News of all kinds of vicious dog bites emerges one after another, and the incident against dog breeding has escalated. From the ban on fierce dogs at the beginning, to the ban on large dogs, and then to the complete ban on dogs, humans have almost exterminated dogs. Dogs used to be man's best friend, but in the end, it turned into this situation.
Xianxian picked up the pocket watch on the table, opened it, glanced at the photo with the dog, and muttered to himself: "King, I'm fine, I'm going to college soon." ”
Then, put the pocket watch chain around your neck and continue to pack your luggage.
"Have you packed your luggage?" There was the screaming of the mother's fire outside the door.
"Mom, it'll be fine soon." Xian Xian sped up his movements, stuffed things into his backpack, quickly put his backpack on his back, pulled up his suitcase and walked towards the yard.
"Hurry up, your dad has an academic conference at 2 p.m." Xian's mother urged, took Xian's suitcase and stuffed it into the trunk.
"When you go to the provincial capital to study, you have to take care of yourself, remember to call back if you don't have enough money. Don't be too playful outside, study hard, and listen carefully in class......"
"Alright, Mom. Isn't it in a hurry, I know it, you don't need to stress about it. She frowned, not wanting to listen to her mother's nagging. She looked at the empty dog house in the yard, and her brow furrowed even deeper.
Mother Xian looked at her stunned daughter, and then followed her line of sight, "Xian Xian, forget King!" Residents are banned from owning dogs across the country, and there is nothing King can do if he is taken away by the police. ”
"What will happen to King?" There were tears in her eyes, "Will you starve?" Will it be beaten? Will it be killed? ”
"Don't think about it anymore, you're going to start a new life. I went to the provincial capital to make a few more friends. Mother Xian stepped forward to hug her daughter and comforted.
"Mom, as long as King is alive, he will definitely come back. Promise me that its kennel must not be thrown away, okay? Clean regularly. She cried and pleaded.
"Silly boy, where is the prohibition law so easily changed?"
"Mom, promise me, okay?"
"Okay, you go to school obediently. Mom promises you. ”
She left her mother's arms, opened the car door and got into the car.
Obviously about to be freed from the control of her parents, she was not happy at all. She looked at the scenery outside the car window in a daze, remembering the years when she frolicked and ran with King.
"There will be a lot of regrets in life. But you can't keep drowning in a low mood and can't help yourself. People always have to look forward, King, it's just a small regret in your life, just let it live in your heart. Dad believes that the kind and gentle King must also hope that you can live happily in the future. ”
She turned her head to look at the driver's seat, then lowered her head and took out her phone from her backpack. She opened the university forum page and looked at the various school clubs. She decided she had to do something to distract herself.
"Dad, do you think I'm a sports club or a research club?" Burnt abruptly changed the subject.
"College life is your own, you call the shots." Seeing that his daughter's attention had shifted, his father was in a better mood.
"I just can't pay attention to it, so I can give you some advice."
"Which ones are you interested in?"
"There's a mountaineering club, and there's a club that studies magical phenomena." Xianxian looked at the forum.
"Both of these seem a bit dangerous. However, from the perspective of scientific materialism, mountaineering may be more likely to be injured. Dad thinks it's safer for you to engage in magical phenomenon research or something. ”
"Dad, are you sure? There are a lot of things that science can't explain. ”
"That's because science and technology aren't advanced enough." Daddy smiled, "Girl, you have to believe in the power of science." ”
"I think you just want me to go the pedantic route." She pouted and continued to read the detailed introduction of the club.
"Isn't it good to be a scholar?"
"How boring that is, I really don't know how my mother can stand you so boring, you two are definitely true love." Xianxian quipped.
"Girl, is your dad really that boring?" Daddy frowned slightly, lost in thought.
"Actually, it's okay, it's just that I love to be reasonable." Xianxian explained.
"Then Dad won't talk much, you can make up your own mind."
"I'm so curious, maybe it's really a good fit for this magical phenomenon research community." She muttered to herself.
"Look, dad still understands his daughter very well." Daddy smiled.
It is about 3 hours from the city of E, where Xianxian lives, to the provincial capital. After arriving at the school, the father and daughter worked together, Xianxian stayed at the registration office to sign in, queued up to pay, and Xianxian's father carried suitcases and large bags to the dormitory. It took more than 1 hour to finally take care of everything and they went to the school cafeteria for lunch.
"Dad, what do you want to eat?" The probe probes the brain and looks everywhere.
"Let's eat a bowl of three fresh noodles." Daddy pointed to the long queue.
"So many people? Are you sure you want to eat this? "Burn was a little hesitant.
"There are so many people, the taste shouldn't be bad." Daddy said.
"Okay, let's line up."
After waiting for about 15 minutes, I finally saw the dawn of hope.
"Eldest sister, come two portions of three fresh noodles and add eggs." She said to the window.
"12 yuan, swipe the card." The eldest sister at the window pressed it on the punch card machine.
Xian was stunned, she had never lived in the school before, and she didn't know what kind of program this was, "Can't use WeChat and Alipay to transfer money?" ”
"This is connected to the school system, and the window clearly stipulates that private transactions are not allowed." The eldest sister said, "Classmate, you're a freshman, right?" Don't have a meal card? ”
"Meal card?" She turned around and glanced at her father.
"I forgot to do it just now." Daddy suddenly came back to his senses.
"Uncle, junior sister, use my meal card to swipe." The male classmate next to him stepped forward and took out the card and swept it on the machine.
"That's so embarrassing." Daddy smiled awkwardly.
"You're welcome." The male classmate smiled and glanced at Xianxian.
"Senior, how much WeChat do you have? I'll transfer the money to you. She asked.
"Well, you really don't have to turn me. Just when I invited my school sister to eat. The male classmate turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by the corner of his clothes, "The name of the senior." ”
"Hu Miao. Three water miao. The male student scratched his nose embarrassedly.
"I'm Wang Xian. Thank you, senior. Xianxian immediately introduced herself.
"You're welcome." Xianxian looked at Hu Miao's distant back in a daze.
"This senior is a good person." Daddy's words brought her back to her senses.
"People invited you to eat a meal of 6 yuan, so it's good?" Xianxian sighed, "Comrade Wang Xuezhi, are you too easy to be bribed?" ”
"People don't want to reciprocate, okay, they don't even give you a WeChat account, it's good." Daddy smiled.
"Is there really such a person these days?" It's unbelievable.
"If you still have the fate to meet him in the future, remember to thank him, and it would be better if you could make friends." Daddy said.
"Dad, are you talking about ordinary friends, or ......," said Xian with a wicked smile.
"Stinky girl, how old are you, your mind is so complicated." Daddy gave her a chestnut on her head.
"I'm an adult, okay?" Xianxian said seriously, "If you don't find a partner in college, don't you worry about me becoming a leftover girl in the future?" ”
"Students still have to focus on their studies. Although there is no objection to falling in love in college, you should not let falling in love affect your studies. Daddy admonished.
"Don't worry, Dad. Your daughter won't be so easily bought, and she has a high vision. "Ah, the noodles are ready." ”
After the two finished lunch, Xian's father set off for A University in the provincial capital.
"Dad, you drive safely, remember to go home early after the meeting." Xian Xian admonished.
"Well, you are alone at school, you have to take good care of yourself. Remember to call your parents if you have something, and often call home if you have nothing to do. ”
"Don't worry, I'm already an adult. Will take care of themselves. ”
After sending her father away, she returned to the dormitory, turned on the computer, logged in to the school forum, and started to sign up for the club. The Phenomenal Research Society has a limited number of members, and only recruits 10 new students per semester. Including the senior students, there are only about 40 people in a club.
Finally filled in the personal information, clicked submit, and waited for a reply.
"Ding Dong" received a pop-up message from a private chat.
"Classmates, you are very welcome to join the Magical Phenomena Research Society, in order to screen out members who are more suitable to join the Society, we will conduct a qualification assessment for you."
Xianxian is puzzled, add an interest club and still have to be assessed? Isn't it just a member?
“?” Burnt sent a question mark over.
"Classmate, would you like to participate in the assessment? If you don't want to, you give up. ”
"I do." Immediately replied to the message.
"Roger. I'll send you a copy of the information right away. Please start the research as soon as possible, and after the investigation is completed, you will compile your research process and results into a document and post it on the forum of the Magical Phenomena Research Society. The deadline for completion is one week, and if one week cannot be completed, you can apply for an extension, but you need to submit the research process and the results of the phased study. ”
Xianxian looked confused and thought, "What the hell? Isn't it just to add a hobby club? Still so pedantic? Still want to produce a research report? So professional? ”
"Isn't this club an ordinary club?" Caught in thought.
Xianxian clicked on the document that was transmitted, and the title was "The Hidden Phenomenon".
She continued to read the text, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "It's kind of interesting." ”
"I don't know if it's true or not, but this information is really detailed. What secrets does this society hide? "It seems that you will only know if you join." ”
Xianxian downloaded the materials, copied them in a USB flash drive, and went to the printing shop downstairs in the dormitory to print 3 copies. She bound the materials, bought a folder, and put them inside.
In a quiet place, it is easier to concentrate. Xian Xian went to the library, carefully read the document he received, and framed several places where the phenomenon of the mystery appeared. The nearest missing place to her is the wetland park 5 kilometers away from the school, and the other missing places are in other cities, Xian Xian found a map of China in the library and found the seven missing places on the map. She drew a simple map on the back of the document, marking the locations of the seven missing spots, and connecting them with a pen.
"Why is this shape so familiar?" She muttered to herself, "It's a bit like the Big Dipper." ”
"No matter how much it is, let's go to the nearest location today." He returned the map to its place, put all the materials in order, and left the library.
The moment she left the library, a figure suddenly appeared behind her.
"I didn't expect it to be her." The man was surprised for a moment, then regained his smile, "The mobility is really amazing. ”
"What, it's really the school girl you met at the restaurant?" Another man appeared, "The questions are all random, and this is also a chance." It seems that you guys are quite fateful, don't you think about developing it? ”
"She is gone, and I don't know when she will return." Hu Miao's thoughts drifted away.
"It's also ......"
"Why her? Can a girl really do it? Hu Miao sighed, "I hope she can return safely." ”
"Don't underestimate women, how many dynasties have perished because of women."
She rented a bicycle and rode along the way. For a distance of 5 kilometers, it took her about 40 minutes. Based on the information in the documents, she found the place of disappearance.
She stopped and looked at the lake in front of her. "Did you stumble and fall into the lake?"
"Is this club kidding me? Is this also a hidden phenomenon? "I felt like I was being played.
"It's a natural lake, it's so empty and there's nothing. Eighty percent of the missing children fell into the water, and the bodies were never recovered because the lake was too deep. Xian Yan analyzed, took out a pen and wrote the conclusion.
Suddenly, a breeze blew up, and as soon as she looked up, she saw a black hole above the lake.
"What the hell is this?" Xian Xian stood in place in surprise, "Could it be the thing that caused the phenomenon of the gods?" ”
Xianxian stretched out his hand towards the entrance of the cave, and suddenly was sucked in by a strange force.
"Ah......h She could feel what seemed to be a sudden change in her body, but it slowly returned to its original form.
When everything was calm, she was sleeping on the greenway by the lake.
At this time, more and more "people" are surrounded by it.
"What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know, I just ran and saw her lying here."
"Tell me, I'm a doctor. I'll show her. A man claiming to be a doctor stepped forward and crouched down to check on her.
"She was completely collapsed, breathing very weakly." The doctor instructed, "Call 8484 for an ambulance." ”
"The call has already been made, and the ambulance should be on the way here."
"Everyone disperse quickly, the patients need fresh air." Ambulance crews rushed to this side with stretchers.
After some tossing, Xianxian was finally taken to the nearest hospital by the ambulance staff.
