Beyond The Outline

After the lights were turned off at night, the bedroom was completely dark, and the sensor lights in the hallway also dimmed. Xu Sheng took a bath and washed late, his hair was slightly wet, and after the word "metaphysics" flashed in his mind, he sat up.

Since science has no way to explain, you can try metaphysics.

The more Xu Sheng thought about it, the more he felt.

What a fucking good idea.

Zhang Feng just took his mother away and opened the mobile game in the name of focusing on homework.

As the game just started, his boss made a phone call. Zhang Feng stared at the word "Xu Sheng" on the phone screen for a while, and then he suddenly hung up.

Zhang Feng called back immediately, but Xu Sheng did not answer.

Zhang Feng could only write a voice to ask: "What's wrong, brother, call me at this point? Why doesn't the phone answer?

Xu Shengxin said that because she almost forgot who she is now.

S: Something went wrong with the mobile phone and I can't make a call.

S: I want to ask you something.

Zhang Feng sat up straight: you say.

S: Do you remember that at the end of last semester, you went to the commercial street near the school for a visa.

Zhang Feng remembered this, and he was ruthlessly taunted by Xu Sheng at the time: I remember, you said that you were a fool to ask for a visa. If burning incense and worshiping Buddha is useful, there will be no people who fail the exam in this world.

He still said this?

"..."

Xu Sheng's finger paused, and the following sentence "Is there a recommended store?" stopped in the input box.

There are everything on the commercial street outside the school. Since a test and transportation tarot shop became an online celebrity shop, all kinds of magic clubs have seen business opportunities. They not only started to set up stalls to sell insurance tickets, but also to pass the test. , Meng Bi dice to abcd... the business was extremely smashing.

Zhang Feng is quite familiar with the commercial street. He likes to go shopping with girls. Xu Sheng deleted that line, and finally started with "I have a friend".

"Fortune-telling booths with good reputation, I think about it. Recently, I heard that the newly opened'Half Xianju' is okay," Zhang Feng said after thinking about it, "You have to make an appointment online and bring your birthday when you go. Just go. It's pretty good. Zhang Tong just finished the calculation with him last week. He came back to blow that Hu Banxian so wonderfully, saying that he is definitely an expert in the world. If your friend wants to calculate his luck, you can try ."

S: Good.

S: Thanks.

After the chat, Zhang Feng scratched his head at the phone for unknown reasons, puzzled: Xu Sheng suddenly asked what fortune telling booth.

Ding.

[The game has found a match].

Forget it, leave him alone.

Zhang Feng cut into the game, did not take this matter to heart, and quickly left it behind.

Turning off the lights does not affect the learning of the questions.

At the same time, Shao Zhan pinched the bridge of his nose and rolled over the last game.

The boy held the pen in his hand, and the cloth was attached to the stiff back. Xu Sheng's fingers were long and thin, and the joints were slightly raised.

The lamp light broke through the black surrounding area and hit his slightly curved knuckles straight.

After Shao Zhan turned this page, he paused for two seconds, and somehow suddenly recalled the way Xu Sheng was holding a paintbrush with this hand.

On the back is the last big question: let V be a collection of 2019 points in space, where any four points are not coplanar, and some points are connected to line segments, and E is the collection of these line segments...

Shao Zhan retracted his eyes and hurriedly scanned the question. Before he could find a way to solve the problem, the door was knocked twice.

Xu Sheng sent a message to Shao Zhan, and after waiting a few minutes without reply, he simply knocked on the door.

When Shao Zhan opened the door, Xu Sheng was leaning on the door of his bedroom, fiddling with his cell phone across the aisle.

Seeing him opening the door, Xu Sheng turned his phone back, shook the phone and said, "I sent you a message, you may not have seen it."

Shao Zhan did not see it.

When he wrote the questions, he used it for timing and didn't look at the phone much.

Xu Sheng usually looks like he has no bones wherever he goes and where he is, but it looks very harmonious, but now it is in his body, Shao Zhan always finds it strange when he looks at him, he sideways said: "Come in."

This was originally his dormitory, and there was no need for him to greet him. Xu Sheng naturally sat on the bed and said, "I think of a way."

Shao Zhan couldn't guess what he wanted to say.

Xu Sheng: "I will tell you a story."

"..."

Shao Zhan: "Story?"

Under Shao Zhan’s gaze, Xu Sheng changed his posture and said: “My cousin accidentally fell into the river when he was young, and after catching it, he has a high fever. It’s useless to see many doctors for any medicine.”

Shao Zhan couldn't guess what he was trying to say this time.

Tell the story of my cousin in the middle of the night.

The genius boy who could score 145 points in Chinese was defeated and failed to catch the point.

When Xu Sheng's story ends, he pauses and asks: "Guess how my cousin recovered in the end?"

"..." Shao Zhan cooperated with him and asked, "How was it healed?"

"metaphysics."

"..."

"There is a goddess in our street. He drew a talisman for him, and after burning it and drinking it the next day, it will be fine."

"and so?"

"So sometimes science can't explain things, we can turn to the power of metaphysics."

Shao Zhan unscrewed the mineral spring bottle by the table, walked to the bed and handed it to him.

Xu Sheng took it and said, "I have already inquired with Zhang Feng. A new "Half Xianju" is opened near the school, and the reputation is good."

The desk light is not strong, and the light that hits the bed is even weaker.

After Xu Sheng received the water, he was about to raise his head to take a sip, but Shao Zhan's hand did not retract. He stretched out the tip of his index finger and placed it on Xu Sheng's forehead, "In your head, every day. What are you thinking about."

The hot temperature of the boy's fingertips lightly touched.

Xu Sheng grabbed the water bottle, blinked, and followed the temperature for a moment.

Shao Zhan: "When will I go."

Before Xu Sheng came, he was worried that Shao Zhan would find his proposal very ridiculous. He went to find a fortune-telling master. How would he think these two elements would not be involved: "After the late self-study?"

Shao Zhan also thought he would find this proposal very ridiculous, but in front of the four-school league, no matter how hard it is, everyone has to bow their heads.

"Row."

Until Shao Zhan retracted his hand and went back to his desk to continue writing the test papers, Xu Sheng later took a sip of the water and then capped the bottle.

Xu Sheng sweated a little on his palm, and he walked over with a water bottle: "Are you doing competition questions?"

Although Xu Sheng couldn't understand the stack of test papers on the table, he brought it back from the conference room after all.

Xu Sheng glanced at it and saw that Shao Zhan was calculating the big problem on the draft paper. The topic was very long. Xu Sheng noticed the numbing numbers in it. They looked scary:'Meet the conditions, if E has n elements, then E must contain 908 binary subsets'.

908, a binary subset.

What do you mean??

Shao Zhan glanced at him: "Want to try, this question is not difficult."

Xu Sheng: "..."

Shao Zhan: "Familiarize yourself in advance."

The worst-case scenario is to participate in the game as Shao Zhan, the devil of the four-school league.

Xu Sheng hesitated for a while, thinking that it would be fine to meet Shao Zhan in advance.

The question may not be written, but the momentum must be presented at that time.

Besides, Shao Zhan said, this question is not difficult... Maybe he has a talent for competition?

Every student who never learns will inevitably imagine in his heart that once he turns on the learning switch, he might be able to make a blockbuster.

Xu Sheng said without compelling words in his heart: "Try and try."

In fact, listening to Shao Zhan’s lecture is a kind of enjoyment. The young man’s tone is cold and his thinking is clear. Following his thoughts, he writes a simple theorem on paper: "This question first proves a lemma. Let G=(V, E) be A simple graph, and G is connected, then G contains..."

Xu Sheng gave up very decisively.

He was sober in an instant.

The "not difficult" in Shao Zhan's mouth is completely different from the understanding of the word "not difficult" by normal people.

After Shao Zhan finished this paragraph, he handed him the pen and motioned him to solve it by himself.

"...I'm leaving," Xu Sheng said, "I can't write."

Really faced the competition questions and knew the difficulty of the competition questions, Xu Sheng wanted to go to Banxianju even more strongly.

The next day.

After the evening self-study, the two packed up and prepared to sneak out through the back door.

"Brother Zhan, Brother Sheng," Hou Jun and Tan Kai patted their shoulders from behind, "Let's go to the commercial street for dinner. Recently there is a new noodle restaurant. Let's go together?"

They all go to the commercial street.

Xu Sheng: "You go, let's go to the commercial street to buy something else..."

Before Xu Sheng finished speaking, Hou Jun squeezed in between the two directly: "Aren't they all going to the commercial street? Let's walk together."

After school, the commercial street is lit up with lights. Half of the name "Linjiang" is derived from the school’s natural environment. Surrounded by the harsh river, the commercial street is built in the style of an ancient town with wooden buildings. Square doors stand at the entrance of the commercial street. There were bursts of shouts from the shop door.

"The opening of the noodle restaurant offers a 20% discount--"

"Tarot cards, test your luck in the exam——"

Xu Sheng and Shao Zhan bite the bullet and walked with them.

Apart from going out to eat, Xu Sheng rarely visits this street. Occasionally, Zhang Tong and a few girls want to buy something and ask him for reference, so he will follow him for a while.

He made an appointment with the master at 7 o'clock last night, but the "Half Xianju" was not easy to find, and they looked at the shop number while walking.

"The noodle shop is in front," Yuan Ziqiang curiously asked, "What are you going to buy?"

Xu Sheng absent-minded: "Isn't the four-school league about to start, I will buy some competition questions."

Yuan Ziqiang turned to Shao Zhan: "How about you, Brother Sheng?"

Shao Zhan: "Buy with him."

Oh.

Xu Sheng was looking for it and was dragged by Shao Zhan: "Is it that one?"

Xu Sheng looked in the direction of Shao Zhan. At the corner of the intersection, there is a shop away from the noisy area. The shop has no special decoration, and even the name of the shop is not displayed. Only a billboard was set up in the front, and he wrote "Half "Xianju".There is a faint feeling of a world-class store, and it is easy to miss if you don't pay attention.

Xu Sheng: "It's this one."

But Hou Jun and the others are still here, how will they pass now?

Xu Sheng was trying to slow down and keep a distance from Hou Jun and the others, but Shao Zhan moved more swiftly than him-he directly took Xu Sheng and walked into the turbulent crowd by moving from behind. The crowd of Chung hid, and in the blink of an eye they moved a distance away from the person in front of him. After a layer of barriers, Hou Jun turned his head and found that the two people behind him did not know when they had disappeared.

From the cracks in the half-covered door of Banxianju, green smoke came out.

Incense is lit in the lobby.

Pushing open the door, he didn't see the person. He heard the voice first, and said in a hoarse old man's voice: "...but what thorny thing happened, I think there is an extraordinary aura covering the two of them."

The voice said again: "Come in and talk."

In the next second, there was a gust of wind from somewhere, and then with a "slap", the door that had just been opened closed by itself!
