"Old Wu, what are you doing, have you found a job?"

Yang Fat Man on the other end of the phone asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Dry ...... Sleep at home! I said, how boring are you to think of me as a buddy? ”

Wu Jie replied, at the moment he was still sleepy-eyed, nestled in a thick quilt.

"Hey, buddy, it's not good for you to say that, it's an old friend for more than 10 years, Brother Yang has been thinking about you in his heart!"

The words that came out of Yang Fatman's wide tongue were really round and smooth.

"Come on, if you have something, tell me quickly, and ask me to borrow money again, didn't I tell you that I was unemployed."

Wu Jie began to think about Yang Fatzi's rare call.

"Old Wu, don't say it, my brother really didn't ask you to borrow money this time, but sent you money!"

Fat Yang said confidently.

"Brother will introduce you to a job, you know that in the business of crossing the office, making money is like picking up money on the ground. Hey! Your brother Yang happens to know that there is such a crossing office that is short of people, and I still know the boss! That's an out-and-out beauty! ”

Wu Jie heard the sound of Yang Fatzi licking his saliva when he said 'beauty', which made him tremble. He also thought that this fat man Yang was going to introduce him to a serious and decent job, so it turned out that he was going to go through the office.

Wu Jie said badly:

"Sounds good! Why don't you go? Yes? And the beautiful boss, isn't it your favorite? ”

"Well...... At my size, I'm still going to save people...... Besides, I can't let go of your sister-in-law, right, beauty! Ahhh......h

There was a scream from Yang Fat on the other end of the phone, and Wu Jie heard Yang Fat flirting with her girlfriend, 'Call you flamboyant!' ’。

Wu Jie has been unemployed at home for more than a month, and he lives a bad life every day, but fortunately, he still has some savings in his bank card, so he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood. But this boring day seemed to have no end in sight, and he wanted to find something to do in his heart.

But this crosses the office......

It's not a good job, and I've heard that a lot of people who do it have gone missing......

"Old Yang, forget it, buddy still wants to live a few more years! Thank you for your kindness, I'll hang up if nothing else! ”

Wu Jie said.

"Oh wait, don't! That office is called 'Thoughts Through Time and Space', No. 28 Chengnan Road, remember to check it out if you have time! ”

After Yang Fatzi finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and this forced sales pitch caused Wu Jie to wonder what the relationship between this Yang Fatzi and the proprietress of that office was.

Wu Jie looked at the calendar, November 28, 2025, two years after that crossing storm.

In 2023, an underground organization in China has developed a time machine that allows people to realize virtual time-travel, and travelers can customize the dynasty and place they travel through. This virtual traversal does not distort the timeline and have an impact on the future.

Although the official order strictly prohibits the use of this time machine, it cannot resist the enthusiasm of consumers to buy, and the time machine is still circulating in the market, and many people who are dissatisfied with reality choose to carry out this 'time travel' to enter their own fantasy utopia.

But nine times out of ten, the traversers are 'going and not returning'. Modern people go to ancient times to be omniscient and omnipotent. Some people are addicted to this protagonist drama, and some people simply don't carry the time machine for the return trip, and they are determined to "be a new person".

Therefore, the travel office has become the hottest emerging industry in the past two years, and the relatives did not hesitate to go bankrupt in order to find the 'time-traveler'......

Don't look at Wu Jie, although he is now unemployed at home and his life is not going well, he has never had the idea of 'crossing'. He never mentioned it to outsiders, and even Yang Fatzi didn't know that his 10-year-old cousin Mo Xiaoling secretly used a time machine to travel to the Tang Dynasty a year ago without telling her family, but was abducted by a gang of traffickers.

This unbreakable knot has wiped out all the illusions and good feelings of Wu Jie about 'crossing'. He hated those who built time machines and caused many families to suffer the loss of loved ones. He is also very grateful to the person who rescued Xiaoling back with the code name 'McGee' - because of the special nature of this industry, all employees only reveal the code name to the family of the 'traverser'.

After getting up and having lunch, Wu Jie was going to go to the street to buy some daily necessities, he was walking on the street, and suddenly heard a bewitching voice behind him:

"Handsome guy~"

Whose girl is this, who has taken a fancy to his dashing back! Wu Jie thought to himself, but he didn't dare to conclude that the 'handsome guy' was what he called, so he didn't look back and continued to walk forward.

"Wu Jie handsome guy!"

The voice came from behind him again, but I didn't expect it to be an acquaintance!

Wu Jie turned around and saw a woman about 25 years old. Although her voice seems mature and charming, her face is pure and lovely. Wu Jie didn't know the beauty in front of him.

"Are you ......?"

Wu Jie asked suspiciously.

"I'm the beautiful boss in Brother Yang's mouth!"

If the three words 'Brother Yang' came out of someone else's mouth, Wu Jie would probably vomit out disgustingly, but every word that came out of this beauty's mouth seemed to have a playful taste, and even made Wu Jie a little envious, wishing that the beauty would also call him 'Brother Ang'.

"Hey...... No, how did you recognize me...... You recognize me when you see my back? ”

Wu Jie asked cautiously, but he still walked over to the beauty unconsciously.

"Haha!"

The beauty made a sound, and then she took out the photo in her mobile phone to show Wu Jie. The person in the photo is only a back, wearing a coffee-colored jacket with a Snoopy pattern, and this coat happens to be worn by Wu Jie now.

Wu Jie was almost angry and fell to the ground, not because his habit of liking cartoon characters was exposed in front of others, but that this fat man Yang actually secretly took a picture of his back and gave this photo to others......

After this slightly awkward meeting, the proprietress took Wu Jie into the office, and before entering the door, Wu Jie noticed the seven colorful art words on the signboard: 'Thoughts through time and space'. To say that this woman is opening a shop, she also embodies the 'cute' heart everywhere!

It's a small room, but it's packed with a lot of parts. A mahogany desk sits in the center of the room, a leather sofa on the left wall, and a long cabinet with a water dispenser, picture frames, potted plants, and a row of striking miniature time machines.

Wu Jie was playing with this time machine, which was only the size of a palm and shaped like a bicycle, when he was knocked on the back by the proprietress on the back.

"The contract is on the table, let's sign it~"

The proprietress said.

"Isn't it! I haven't said yes yet, so soon you asked me to sign the contract? ”

Wu Jie also added:

"Beauty, I don't even know your name, isn't that a bit ...... It's hard for a strong man......"

"Yang Fatzi said that you had already agreed, but I didn't expect you to be so inky. I have prepared this contract in advance, and I am waiting for you to sign it! ”

The proprietress said with a serious expression, as if she was a little angry. Wu Jie felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden change in this woman, and just now he shouted "handsome guy" and "brother", and when he talked about business, he became a strong woman.

He had to comfort himself and said, 'I don't know my heart!' ’。

Wu Jie sat on the sofa and carefully read the contract in his hand.

'The salary is 70% of the commission', 'The firm bears all insurance costs', 'The working hours are from the time of crossing to the time of returning to reality'......

Wu Jie suddenly wondered why there was only one proprietress left in this office, so he asked:

"Where did the rest of the office go...... Won't ......"

"That's right, the last employee, he didn't come back after he crossed. Although 10 seconds in virtual time travel is equal to 1 second in reality, he has been missing for 3 years, that is, 30 years in time travel. ”

The proprietress had a more serious expression than before, and with her innocent face, it looked a little frightening.

She went on to say:

"You know this is a special job, Yang Fatzi said that you have been a soldier and practiced martial arts before, and you should be a responsible person. I think you're up to the job and get back to the traversers who are in dire need of rescue. ”

Wu Jie can also be regarded as having an understanding of the time and space of virtual travel. Although nothing the time-traveler does will affect the direction of the real history, nor will it change the present or the future, it is the real body that travels through the past, and if something happens there...... There's no going back to reality......

Even if the job is well paid, Wu Jie doesn't think it's worth risking his life for a strange traverser.

"I don't really want to...... I'm sorry beauty, but you'd better find someone else. ”

Wu Jie said sincerely to the proprietress with some apologies in his tone.

The proprietress took out a list from the drawer, and then sat down next to Wu Jie.

'Liu Yang, 22 years old, a graduate of a prestigious university, unemployed, used a time machine to travel back to the Ming Dynasty a month ago......

Wu Jie looked at the person in the photo, with a black-framed glasses, a dull scholarly atmosphere, but there was a scar on his forehead.

"If you sign the contract, you can go and rescue him right away. Liu Yang's parents ......"

The proprietress said, her watery eyes have been staring at Wu Jie's every move, for fear that Wu Jie will say another 'no' word, her eyes are a little sad, and she is also a little pleading.

"Don't say it, I'll sign it!"

Wu Jie said that this was not a casual answer he gave in order to perfunctory the boss's wife, but he remembered the anxious and worried mood of the whole family after learning that his cousin had crossed, and now Liu Yang's family should also be suffering from this pain......

"Wait...... 'psychiatrist'...... This is the code name you gave me? ”

When Wu Jie continued to look at the content of the contract, he found this.

The proprietress nodded her acquiescence, doing this line of work is not only to find someone to save people, but also to let the traverser come back willingly.

After a detailed conversation, Wu Jie finally signed his name. The proprietress entered the bedroom inside the house, printed a few things from the 3D printer, put them in a black bag, and handed them to Wu Jie.

Wu Jie picked up the miniature time machine, pressed the button on it indiscriminately and said:

"So I'm going to go......

"You haven't used this thing before!"

The proprietress took the time machine in Wu Jie's hand and twisted the 'steering rod' of this gadget similar to a 'bicycle model', and then the 'seat' turned into a small cube with a display screen. She adjusted the time to the period of the Ming Dynasty, set the latitude and longitude to be the same as the place where Liu Yang went, and signaled Wu Jie to press the 'small bell' on the 'steering pole' to cross. In the end, she picked up two more time machines and put them in Wu Jie's pocket, and handed him the black baggage.

The hostess explained:

"The baggage is filled with props that may be used for this crossing, and I will open it when I get there."

She added:

"All you have to do is turn the front and rear wheels three times and you'll be back here. Be careful along the way, it's a dangerous job! ”

After finishing speaking, the boss turned around, she didn't seem to want to witness the scene of Wu Jie disappearing.

Wu Jie hesitated for a moment before pressing the 'little bell', and he asked:

"Beauty, no. I should be called the hostess, what's your name? ”

The proprietress turned her back to him and replied:

"Silk flowers. Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here. ”

Time does not wait for others, and for every 1 minute of delay, Liu Yang will stay in a dangerous environment for 10 more minutes. So Wu Jie solemnly and expectantly pressed the 'little bell'......
