Night’s Nomenclature - Chapter 13
[Thirteen, someone]
Compared with the panic before the last time crossing, Qing Chen has calmed down a lot this time.
He waited for the world to be broken and reorganized, as if waiting for a dream to wake up.
In the cramped and cramped small bedroom, Qing Chen was still sitting beside the bed in the same posture he had before crossing.
Everything seems to have never happened.
Qingchen frowned, he took out the phone in his pocket and glanced at the time.
September 28, 2022, 12:00:01.
0.01 seconds.
He clearly remembered that the date of his crossing was also September 28, and the exact time was 12:00:00.
In other words, he spent two days in that world, but only one second passed here on Earth.
In the same way, when you go back here by yourself, when you go back again, only one second has passed there?
This should be the rule for all traversers.
I don’t know why Qingchen was relieved when he thought of this, so that he didn’t have to find a way to explain to people why he often disappeared for a while.
It was a very eerie sense of alienation, as if the world in which I was now was no longer real.
Qingchen glanced down at his arm, and the blue-purple he just deliberately pinched was still there.
The white pattern on the other arm has changed, and the countdown is 47:59:45.
Countdown 47:59:44.
The countdown this time is 48 hours, which is two days, yes.
Only these can prove to him that what he has experienced is true.
He has really been to a mechanical civilization, and he has also met a man named Li Shutong. He was tested by a man named Lin Xiaoxiao with a nightmare, and he also met a licking dog named Lu Guangyi.
There is a calm Ye Wan and a strange big cat.
Just as Qingchen was thinking about it, his cell phone rang unexpectedly, an unfamiliar landline number.
“Hello,” Qing Chen said.
“Hello, this is the Wangcheng Road police station. That’s it, your father was detained for gathering a crowd to gamble. Please come over here,” said a female voice across the phone.
Qingchen was stunned for a moment, calculating the time, his gambler father should have just been caught not long ago, but he didn’t expect the police station to call him.
“Uh, what am I going to do?” Qing Chen asked.
“According to the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, he needs to be detained and pay a fine. Please go through the formalities,” said the lady on duty at the police station.
“I’m sorry, I won’t go, please punish him severely. According to the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, if the circumstances are serious, he shall be detained for not less than 10 days but not more than 15 days, and he shall be fined not less than 500 yuan but not more than 3,000 yuan. He is the best punishment, thank you,” Qing Chen shook his head and said.
The other party was also stunned for a moment: “Aren’t you his son?”
Qingchen replied, “I reported the case. I’m not his son. I’m Mr. Qing, an enthusiastic citizen.”
The lady on duty: “???”
Qing Chen hung up the phone without hesitation. He, the gambler’s father, was detained for at least 10 days, which meant that he didn’t need to see the other party before the next time he crossed.
For some reason, Qing Chen felt a little happy and relaxed when he thought of this.
But for a teenager, it’s not a good feeling to have his father detained and yelled at.
Most teenagers take their father as an example when they are young. Once you find that your father is indecent and has no dignity, a certain load-bearing wall in your heart suddenly collapses.
Qingchen took a deep breath and lay on the bed slowly. He turned on his mobile phone and looked at his call log and WeChat, but he didn’t see any news from his mother.
For some reason, at a certain moment he even wanted to go back to that prison earlier.
Even if it is an unknown and dangerous world.
It was past one o’clock in the morning, and Qing Chen was not sleepy.
In the dim room, only the phone screen illuminated his cheeks.
On the screen of the mobile phone is the Canon score he just found, and every detail has been memorized in his mind.
For Li Shutong, this was a lifetime regret, but for Qingchen, it was a no-brainer.
Maybe this is the difference between different worlds, and the other party also has something that Qingchen dreams of.
However, should I give the score to Li Shutong?
If so, how should I explain the origin of this score?
This matter is risky. Although Qingchen is not afraid of taking risks, he is afraid that the risks he takes are not worth it.
Therefore, before giving the score, he must determine whether Li Shutong has this value!
In the end, he still couldn’t wait for his mother’s call and news.
…
The first day of the countdown, 7:30 in the morning.
Qing Chen changed into a blue and white school uniform and went out, eating instant noodles as he walked.
The Los Angeles Foreign Language School he attended was divided into three campuses in the past few years, and the high school was only five minutes away from his home, and he only needed to cross a small road to arrive.
On Xingshu Road, the breakfast stalls filled with eggs and cakes wafted the fragrance, and pedestrians would sit on the stalls and eat a bowl of hot tofu brain or Hu spicy soup.
The freshly fried fritters are golden and crispy, and the UU reading www.sonicmtl.com tea eggs are smooth and translucent after peeling.
But Qingchen had no money, and his few savings were used to purchase supplies for the countdown.
This matter makes his teeth hurt when he thinks about it now, but he doesn’t regret it. After all, at that time, who knew what he was going to face?
In Class 3 of Senior Two, the classmates who were on duty were cleaning the class. The smell of water in the classroom after mopping the floor had not yet dissipated, and the mop had probably been moldy for a long time.
Qingchen was sitting in the last row, when he saw his deskmate Nan Gengchen hurriedly walked into the classroom with a nervous look on his face.
“Mr. Du saw me skipping class yesterday, did he say anything later?” Qing Chen asked in a low voice.
As a result, Nan Gengchen was absent-minded as if he had not heard anything: “Ah? What?”
“It’s okay,” Qing Chen shook his head: “Why do I see you in such a panic?”
“Furious?” Nan Gengchen was startled: “No.”
Qing Chen stopped talking, and if the other party didn’t want to say, he didn’t need to ask the truth.
After a moment of silence, Nan Gengchen suddenly lowered his voice and asked, “Qingchen, what would you do if you encountered something very strange?”
“Strange?” Qing Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nan Gengchen carefully, he hesitated for a moment and asked, “What exactly does it mean?”
“I don’t know what it is, it’s weird anyway,” Nan Gengchen said.
“Then call the police?” Qing Chen’s eyes were locked on Nan Gengchen.
However, Nan Gengchen’s eyes lit up: “Yes, look for the police! Qingchen, are you sending everyone from your family?”
“Yes,” Qingchen said after thinking for a while, “My dad was arrested last night for gathering a crowd to gamble.”
Nan Gengchen: “???”
