Zhang Zi'an's mind is now in a semi-chaotic state. The work in the store is done by physical conditioning reflexes. He is like a state of absent-mindedness and does not look carefully at the person standing at the door. He is sure that the person who is shooting the door is not the clerk, because if the clerks come to the store, the first choice is to go to the window on the second floor. They don't know when he will open the door.

Hearing this familiar crisp voice, a nerve in his mind hopped for a while, then he brought some of his attention back to reality.

The roller shutter door gradually pulled up, and his eyes fell on her legs at the beginning, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

The sewage has just retreated to a level similar to the steps at the entrance, and at least the height is less than the ankles of adults. Some low-lying areas still have less than the calf. Like Wang Gan and Li Kun, they wade in shorts and sandals just now.

It was too early, and most enterprises and institutions did not go to work during holidays today. The streets were empty, and few people occasionally drove past one or two high-chassis off-road vehicles, stirring the water in the streets into a turbulent wave. If someone happened to walk past the neighborhood, it would be unlucky.

The girl standing on the steps did not wear sandals barefoot like Wang Gan and Li Kun, but wore over-knee socks and leather shoes. The problem was... her socks and shoes were all dry, without any water stains.

Even if she came by car, it is unlikely that she would drive the car on the curb and then drive it to the door of the store? Which lady from which family will receive treatment?

Besides, he didn't see the car.

Of course, if the car parked at the door and put her down, then drove away, and then she patted the door, it made sense, but how could she be sure that he would open the door so early? If he didn't open the door, wouldn't she stayed on the steps and couldn't go anywhere?

As the roller shutter door was raised, he saw her clothes, which were a sailor suit of unknown texture, and they were also not touching. You should know that the weather has not yet cleared yet, and occasionally a few raindrops will drop.

Seeing this sailor suit, he immediately remembered the junior high school girl who owed him money at Wuyin Teahouse. She disappeared for no reason, which made him and Lao Cha. Fatui puzzled, but later because he couldn't find her, he had to leave it alone.

He blurted out, "Come here to pay back the money?"

"Hahaha! It's impossible to pay back the money. Don't think about coming out again when the money goes into my pocket!" She bent over with a smile.

The roller shutter door was fully raised, and he also saw her face and was stunned again.

"What's wrong? I haven't wiped my face clean?" She rubbed her back with the back of her hand.

It is not good to keep staring at the faces of the young girl. Zhang Zi'an glanced at her and looked away and said, "Why... you look familiar, like you have seen you before."

"Puff! Haven't you seen it in the Wuyin Teahouse?" she smiled.

He corrected: "I don't mean that..."

"That's what happened before?" she said again.

He pondered for a moment: "Well..."

In the Wuyin Teahouse, he didn't see her face. This was the first time he saw her. What he said was familiar does not mean that he looked familiar when he had met one time, but... how could he say that he saw another person's shadow from her?

When neighbors who take children go out for a walk, when they meet other neighbors, they often exchange greetings, such as: "Oh, this is your son, this nose and mouth are really similar to you!"

There may be certain polite factors, but it will not be completely nonsense, just a similar feeling.

Her facial features or face shape looked like someone he knew, but he couldn't remember which facial features and who they looked like for a while.

So, maybe he knows her elders.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. You said you are here to help... are here to work? By the way, you are not adult yet, are you?" Zhang Zi'an changed the topic and did not get too entangled with his appearance. Anyway, it doesn't make any sense.

Because Jiang Feifei intends to go to San Francisco to study the daily work of the aquarium on site and strive for a period of internship opportunities, Zhang Zian has posted information on recruiting workers online, and has received some calls and applications in recent days, but has not found any satisfactory yet.

He thought she was here to apply for a job.

She gritted her teeth and said, "It is impossible to work. When it comes to working, I get angry. In the past, I helped at home and did similar work as the clerks. The clerks could buy whatever they wanted when they paid their salary, but I could only get a new set of tutoring questions as a reward. I really want to strangle him to death..."

"Then you are so unlucky..." Zhang Zi'an sympathized with her, "But you are not here to work, so what are you here to do? Our store has something to do today and will not open to the public."

"I said, I'm here to help~ By the way, where is Xinghai?"

Without waiting for his invitation, she walked into the store on her own.

Zhang Zian was stunned again, and didn't even have time to stop her, how could she know Xinghai? Those who know Xinghai's name are clerks or acquaintances in the store, and he had never seen her before.

At this time, Xinghai happily ran out from the depths of the store, "Meow~"

"Oh! The sea of ​​stars is raised high!"

She picked up Xinghai very naturally, held it over her head, and circled it in circles.

Damn?

Zhang Zian was too shocked, his chin was almost falling off, and even the elves disappeared collectively were not so shocked.

You know, after a year of hard work, he finally barely made Xinghai no longer afraid, and even could caress it carefully at a very rare occasion, but this junior high school student who had never met before actually picked up Xinghai so easily?

What shocked him the most was that Xinghai was held up by her hands, and there was no sign of fear at all. Instead, he was very happy, as if he was very familiar with her hug.

"Wait...wait...wait! How can you pick up Xinghai?" he asked stammeringly, his mind almost burning out.

She pretended to be confused and tilted her head, "Why can't I hug it? After all, I am also its owner."

"Ha? Are you its owner?"

Zhang Zian could no longer describe his mood at this time, and the sky fell and the earth fell.

"You are its owner... Schrödinger is actually a large luoli?"

He was almost going crazy.

Didn't I know it and traveled to the Fusang 2D world where everything is okay? After King Arthur and other famous people, even Schrödinger could not escape the evil hands?

"Puff hahahahahahahaha! Where did you think of?"

She laughed so hard that she fell, "It's true that it's the same as what my mother said. I really don't know how your brain circuit is... "

Zhang Zian looked at her stupidly and kept laughing, his heart was already in a mess.

"Oh, forget it, my stomach hurts..." She finally stopped laughing, "I'm calling, don't you charge your phone?"

Zhang Zian subconsciously looked up. The lights in the room were still dark, and there was a call from there...

The thought flashed through his mind and the lights were on.

Not only did the lights turn on, but the refrigerator compressor buzzed and started to cool down, and the TV that was not turned off also automatically emitted sound.

I'll go?

His mind was even more confused.

What's going on? She seemed to have known she was going to call before she called? No, maybe she saw the call notification issued by the municipal department.

But even if you see the call notification, can you control the time so accurately?

It is probably because it is a fool. When a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, just like those charlatans on the Internet who always like to predict the future. They predict the future tens of thousands of times, and can always be fooled once, and then happily dig out the posts to show off.

When a call comes, it means there are many things to do, but... as she reminded, his phone has been running out of power for more than a day, and it wasn't full when the typhoon came yesterday.

After losing the game "Pet Hunter", he gave up on himself for a while. He didn't know what the phone was of use, and he had the heart to smash it. But reason told him that there must be someone else calling or sending messages to him in life. Modern society cannot do without mobile phones. Even if he smashed it to vent his anger for a while, he would have to buy a new one in a few days.

So he found a charging cable and plugged it into his phone, put it aside and started charging.

News was playing on the TV that was automatically turned on because of the call. When he heard the sound of the TV, he thought of Lao Cha and couldn't help feeling sad again.

He walked over and was about to turn off the TV, but was attracted by the few news that the host was broadcasting.

“…The sexual assault case in Minnesota is continuing to ferment, and the stock price plummeted…”

"...Ma Dad Ma resigned from the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alibaba Dad, and his dad will still be your dad in the future..."

"The new version of the fifth set of RMB will be issued soon..."

Seeing those faces that were once powerful but now too low-key and even down-and-out flashing across the screen, he couldn't help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Forget it, his elves were also recycled. Everyone laughed fifty steps, and it was not his turn to sympathize with them.

He turned off the TV and saw her running around with Xinghai between the shelves as if she was playing hide-and-seek, and she didn't treat herself as an outsider. So he coughed and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing?"

She stopped and pointed at her own face, "Didn't Xinghai tell you? I'm the reinforcements you are waiting for."

"What?"

Zhang Zian had such a speculation, but he rejected it himself because in his imagination, the so-called reinforcements should be an adult with a strong aura and a very cool look. He had BGM like this, and this young girl who was not yet adult, could not be a reinforcement that could help him solve the problem no matter how she thought about it?

Although ambition is not as high as the age of age, and without ambition is a hundred years old, many times, such things as age cannot be easily surpassed.

He looked at Xinghai inquiringly, and the latter nodded vigorously, "Meow~ She is a reinforcement~"

Zhang Zi'an: "..."

No matter how much he was unwilling to believe it, he could only seek medical treatment in a hurry.

He believed Xinghai, but did not completely believe her, and asked suspiciously: "Then tell me, how can you help me? Can you help me find the elves?"

"I came for this." She said confidently: "First of all, your guess is correct, the game has not stopped completely, the server... or something similar is still running normally, just shutting down the human-computer interaction interface, which is in your phone, so the uncatched elves are not affected."

Zhang Zian was stunned for some time today. She actually knew the ideological struggle in his heart. Could she not read the mind?

"Then can you install the phone again?" he asked.

She shook her head, "This doesn't work, it's because the self-destruct mode is enabled and it's deleted thoroughly."

The fire of hope that Zhang Zian had just ignited was almost extinguished again.

"But..." She smiled weirdly, "There is no need to reinstall it, just change to another phone that has not been deleted~"

Zhang Zian couldn't understand what she was saying at all. Not to mention that the other players' phones were also deleted. Even if she got someone else's phone that had not been deleted, he couldn't use it, and it was protected by fingerprint password.

She put her palms to the edge of her collar.

Immediately afterwards, under his dumbfounded gaze, a white and fat worm squirmed out from under the large lapel of her sailor suit, looking like a fussom snack worm gummy.

The bug crawled into her palm, and her two little black eyes looked at him, raised her head, and pointed up and down, as if she was saying hello to him.
