Chapter 4: Disasters of the Unthinkable
Awkward!
Unparalleled awkwardness!
That's how Ian feels right now. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's early morning, three days after the tragedy of the morning exercise, and Ian is sitting at the dining table on the second floor of his house, with his chin in his left hand, quietly watching his mother make breakfast in the kitchen connected to the dining room.
In this life, he was born in a single-parent family, and the man who was supposed to be the pillar of the family and play the role of a father never appeared at all. All the family's financial resources come from the pharmacy run by the mother downstairs.
The beautiful woman with silver hair and blue eyes in front of her, who is Ian's mother in this life, is standing in front of the Yuanjing stove at the moment, humming a song and flipping fried eggs.
Perhaps because she is a pharmacist and knows all kinds of beauty and care prescriptions, the 35-year-old woman looks like she is only in her early twenties.
And thanks to such a young face, whenever she happily takes Ian, who has grown into a teenager, out with them, people who don't know them well always treat them as brothers and sisters, not mother and son.
So much so that to this day, there are still many people who think that this room is actually a pair of sisters and brothers.
At this moment, to be exact, what Ian is really staring at now is not actually his own mother, but the fried egg flying in the pan in her handγγγγγγ
Since the force majeure incident happened three days ago, Ian's body has been unimaginably catastrophic, so that three days later, he can't fully adapt to it, and he always feels awkward!
As for why?
Because the world has slowed downγγγγγ
The impact of the previous force majeure event was so great that Ian completely forgot that he had made a major breakthrough before that. And when he really realized this, the world became slower and slower in his eyes.
Raise your hand, and the egg flies, flips, and falls. This action, which took only one second in his mother's hands, lasted nearly half a minute in Ian's perspectiveγγγγγγ
He could clearly see his mother slowly shaking her wrist upwards, transmitting the power to the pan, and then as the pan gently lifted up, the flat fried egg was extremely reluctant to break away from the pan and float into the air, and then one side of the fried egg bulged slightly upward, like a leader beckoning to the side, and finally fell like a parachute, making a long "pop".
What a painful scene this is, it's almost going to force all the acute children in the world to death!
The decisiveness in the novel is all a lie, right?,What enemies' movements have slowed down.,What enters bullet time.,It's very convenient when fighting.,But don't you feel awkward in your usual life? If you keep this state, you're invincible in the world?Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back.,Don't say live like me for three days.,Do you dare to stay like this for a day and give me a try.,Properly tell you what it means to live like a year in the real sense! Anyway, this damn thing doesn't have a switch?
Ian, who seemed to be sitting calmly, was actually roaring like this in his heart.
"Then again, Ian. Mom hasn't seen Fei'er come to you in days. Didn't she go out with you every day, what happened, and said you had a quarrel?"
Mom, who didn't know when to stop humming, turned her head slightly and asked.
The perceptive mother clearly felt the abnormality in her son's behavior in the past two days. Thinking of the black-haired girl who hadn't appeared recently, she vaguely guessed that maybe this was the reason why her son had become abnormal. But this innocent mother could not have imagined Ian's current predicament.
Hearing his mother's originally crisp and gentle voice reach his ears in a strange way, word by word, Ian felt that he couldn't live this day.
"Well, I'm a little bit of a misunderstanding with Phil, and she's probably right now, but it's okay, Mom. Again, two days, it should be, it's fine, she's not, it's the kind of girl. β
Ian gritted his teeth and paused for as few seconds as he could, then combined the words into coherent sentences that would sound normal to human.
This is another sequelae of feeling that the world is slowing down, but his own movement speed has not slowed down much.
In fact, as an otaku who was devastated by various novels at the beginning, of course he knew that the current situation was not that the world had slowed down, but that his body movements and thinking perception had become too fast.
Now, when he speaks a sentence smoothly and quickly, the sound he makes will turn into a scream in ordinary people's ears due to the high-speed superposition of countless words. When you walk at what you think is a normal speed, you can actually catch up with the galloping horses. A casual and normal wave of your arm will actually cause a sonic boom of tearing air around you.
Ian had no doubt that he was now ten times stronger and faster than before, but once he put it into his daily lifeγγγγγγ
It was a tragedy in its own right!
"No, Ian, as a boy, you can't bully a girl, and for whatever reason, in this case, the boy should take the initiative to go to the girl's side to admit his mistake, how can you wait for the girl to come to the door?"
As if dissatisfied with his son's answer, Ian found that breakfast was ready, and his mother, who turned around with the plate, frowned visibly.
He hurriedly raised his hands slowly, trembled to take the breakfast handed over by his mother, and then gently and slowly put the plate in front of him like a piece of tofu.
"If I had known, where Phil lived, I would have rushed over early."
What a mistake, what a mistake! Ian, who was replying to his mother, slapped the table hard in his mind.
He felt that he was not saved!
I've known each other for three years, but I didn't think of it once, and I wanted to ask where the girl with facial paralysis lived. Obviously, Fei'er, who has been teaching herself about this situation, should know best, and if you ask her, there should be a solution anyway.
But on the day of the breakthrough, such an unforgivable situation happened.
It's been three days, and I've searched all the streets and alleys of the lower city of the Northern Regions but haven't found any trace of Fei'er, if Fei'er has been unwilling to forgive herself for taking the initiative to show up, then the only thing that I haven't looked for before is the purgatory wasteland outside the Northern Regions, and the two extremely unreliable places in the upper city of the Northern Regions.
"What? I've been together for so long, but I still don't know where people live? Ah, how can I have such an idiot son, and Fei'er, who has been developing for so long, may run away with the other bad boys!"
Seeing that her mother "slowly" stood up and grabbed her shoulder, Ian, who could easily dodge but was afraid of accidentally hurting her, forcibly stopped her urge to dodge, and let her grab her shoulders and start shaking.
"Mom, I don't care, anyway, your kid wants to bring me a beautiful girl home, Mom, I have long wanted a beautiful daughter, and now it's impossible to have a daughter, but in short, the beautiful and lovely daughter-in-law is going to bring me home no matter what!"
"Yes~Yes~, obey the edict of the mother, the adult!"
Sensible Ian would never be stupid enough to talk back to his mother at such a fateful time.
"So, Mommy," Ian struggled to eat the last bite of the fried egg, "I'm going out, looking for Phil, and at noon I'm not coming back for dinner." β
"Well, okay, then mom it's time for me to go down and look at the store. β
I saw my mother clenching her fists towards this side and cheering. Ian returned to his room speechlessly, picked up the black hooded trench coat that he had only put on when he went outside the circle and practiced with Fei'er, pinned the waist bag with potions and food stored around his waist, and matched the sheathed sword that his mother had always thought was a decorative ornament.
"There are two days to go, and the second semester of school is about to start, and if Fei'er doesn't show up before then, it will be even more troublesome to find her while going to school in this state. God forbid, let me find that guy before school starts, and get rid of this damn state. The boy with a headache made an unrealistic wish.
"Fei'er shouldn't leave the Northern Regions, so since I can't find it in the lower city," Ian, who was dressed, walked out of the house slowly: "Outside the circle and in the upper city? β
Ea, who stepped out of the house and avoided the crowd, couldn't wait to disappear like a ghost in an instant, as if he had never been here.
