Power and Wealth

Evening.

Stepping into the night, Dong Xuebin returned to the family yard of the Public Security Bureau in anticipation of Ben Yinghan Dictionary. As soon as he entered the house, he hurried to make some food, took the microwave oven and warmed an egg spoon, poured some soy sauce and scented oil and filled his stomach with haste. After a burp, Dong Xuebin couldn't care less about smoking, immediately moved his shoulders, sat steadily on the couch, and continued to study the instructions.

menu!

A dial and a few numbers came out.

menu!

Dials and numbers disappeared again.

After countless experiments, he thought over and over again about the sequence of numbers above. Suddenly, Dong Xuebin thought about it. He seemed to understand the meaning of the numbers and thought about it for a moment. He tried to call out the menu menu first, then read “back a second” and brushed it. He saw the flash on the menu for a moment. Dong Xuebin also shook in front of him. The time had been set back for a second. Then, he decided to look at the menu. Indeed, this was the case, the number of digits on the top line that didn't know what it meant, one smaller!

From four to three!

No mistake, Dong Xuebin understood, the number means his remaining back time!

With this understanding, the time shown by the numbers is… three minutes and 43 seconds, which coincides with the back time not entirely determined by Dong Xuebin.

Dong Xuebin Le, this menu can help him a lot, when he used to use back, because sometimes for a few seconds or ten seconds, this number is too cumbersome, the mind can't even count, so Dong Xuebin has never been able to figure out how much back time he has, if you use a pen to write down each use slowly, it is unrealistic, because often the moment of back is very urgent, or fight, or what, where can you write it down, can't remember, it's convenient to have a menu, how much time is left to write it down clearly.

That's a good feature.

No, I have to check again.

Dong Xuebin waited directly until 12 o'clock in the night, Tick-tock, Tick-tock. When the pointer reached the zero point position, Dong Xuebin immediately called out the menu, and saw that the number of three minutes and forty-three seconds changed, becoming four minutes and forty-three seconds, increasing by one minute every day at zero. That's right, there's the time left! After confirming this, Dong Xuebin turned his eyes again. Since he didn't know about the menu before, does that mean that there are other instructions that he didn't notice? What else besides back and menu?

This ability to regress time has always been Dong Xuebin's killer, and the biggest base card and dependency. Since he knows that he has not studied thoroughly, it is naturally impossible to let go.

But how do we find other instructions?

Dong Xuebin thought of a silly way - one word at a time!

Read it all, man. Can't find it!

With hope, Dong Xuebin seemed very excited. Although it was more than 12: 00 a.m., he had no intention of sleeping. He picked up the English-Chinese dictionary and mumbled. One word, two words, three words, an hour later, Dong Xuebin's eyes were chaotic and his head was fainting. He only realized that this stupid method could not be done. For no reason, there were too many words, hundreds of thousands of words. What life did he have to read? Besides, Dong Xuebin doesn't even know how to read the words, and has to read the notes one by one.

No, you can't do that for two months.

Is there a simpler way?

Shortly after, Dong Xuebin thought of another trick. Since it was an instruction to his superpowers, the frigate, the institute, the building and other words could be ignored at all. As soon as he found some words very similar to the instruction and jumped and read them, he should be able to find them.

Yeah, that's it!

“on.”

“Off.”

“Left.”

At 4: 00 in the morning, Dong Xuebin really couldn't hold up, and went back to sleep.

In the morning, the alarm rang, Dong Xuebin rubbed his eyes and climbed out of the bed. After brushing his teeth, he held the dictionary and brushed over, reading word for word.

While studying Dong Xuebin, he made a covert vow that if he went to study English again in the future, he would not be named Dong. This time he kept reading the words day and night, and then he disgusted Dong Xuebin. Now he sees that all the English words want to vomit, but he has to read them for better progress in the future.

I'm busy, my phone rings.

Ringbell, Ringbell, it's Secretary Hu Si Lianhu's phone.

Dong Xuebin took the dictionary page by card, pressed the answer key, “Hello, Hu. ”

Hu Silian laughed: “Let me tell you something, Governor Xie, so you can come to her office today. ”

“Okay, please bother Hu. ”

“By the way, when you go to the Merchants Bureau, by the rules, you can take a person there, clearly hang it in the Merchants Bureau office, give a deputy director or, in fact, your secretary, to help you with some miscellaneous matters. I think Xie County Governor means to let you take a person there, after all, the Merchants Bureau side used to be to the secretary... understand? But it doesn't matter, um, if you don't have a choice, I'll find you a suitable one in the County Axe Office? ”

Dude, you got a secretary too?

This Dong Xuebin really hasn't thought about it, “What, Hu, I haven't thought about the secretary yet, but there's a former boss of mine, I want to get him a merchants bureau. Do you want to see the trouble? His name is Guo Panwei, and he is working with the Jingcheng National Security Branch. ”

“A little far, isn't it? Are you familiar with the leader there? ”

“Yes, as long as we can pick someone up, I'll call the NSA, and they'll let us go. ”

“It shouldn't be too much of a problem, so… let me talk to the Xie County Governor. ”

“Hey, trouble Hu. ”

“Oh, you and me are welcome. ”

Hu Silian is not in the unit, it's also very convenient to talk to home, she hasn't seen Dong Xuebin for a long time, plus what happened in Korea made Hu Silian very happy, so she talked to Dong Xuebin for a while. Finally, Hu Shilian laughed and said: “Director, did you just wake up? You sound a little dull? Or did you catch a cold? ”

Dong Xuebin hiked, “Forget it, I'm revisiting English. ”

“Ah?”

“I've been reading words all day and I've got a big head. ”

“Oh, so that's it. ”

Dong Xuebin opened the dictionary and filmed, complaining: “You said so many words in English. It's been almost a night. It's still thick and I haven't finished reading a dozen words. I'm still dancing to read it. Alas.” Speaking, he fingered a few random words, "song, sorry, stop, look, it's going to take two more days. ”

…… all of a sudden, the surrounding air suddenly solidifies, as if the air pressure had suddenly multiplied by countless times!

Dong Xuebin frowned consciously, "Sister Hu? Hu, did you cut the line?” Nobody answered the phone.

At first, Dong Xuebin had not yet reacted, but a second later, he noticed something was wrong. The phone on his hand was very hard. It seemed to be solidified in the air. He wanted to change position with it in his ear. He stunned and stood up. Dong Xuebin was stunned!

The world in front of you is making Dong Xuebin stare!

The English and Chinese dictionaries floated halfway across the sofa, the iPhone phone was fixed in the void, the clock second hand on the wall stopped motionlessly, even the kettle on the kitchen gas stove was making water, the flame below was like a photo taken by the camera, and the dry spot was fixed there.

How is that possible?

What the fuck is this?

Dong Xuebin panicked a little and ran to the window to see the compound downstairs.

Seventy-eight sparrows held a wing-spreading position near an electric pole, stunned as if they were performing a stereotyping technique. Qin Yong's left leg, who was going to work, was lifting in the void, clamping a bag under his arm, his expression stayed in the smiling image, and there was a teenager riding a motorcycle next to him, and all the pedestrians and vehicles on the street outside the compound, as well as the light in the sky, bugs, birds... everything stopped!

Only Dong Xuebin can move alone!

“God!" Dong Xuebin looked silly. He didn't understand what was going on. There was no sound around him. Putong, Putong, all he could hear was the beating of his heart. As if the whole world was just a picture, as if Dong Xuebin was the only one left in the whole world!

Dong Xuebin's face was white, realizing that it might have something to do with his ability to instruct him, he immediately called the menu!

Four minutes and eleven seconds!

He clearly remembered that his remaining ability time was four minutes and 43 seconds, absolutely correct, but now it's gone, and it's still diminishing!

Four minutes and ten seconds... Four minutes and nine seconds... Four minutes and eight seconds... Contact the scene in front of you, Dong Xuebin seems to understand, can you stop time yourself? This stopping time is deducted from the minute you accumulate each day? Stop for a second and deduct a second? So the rest of the time is just a little less? That's the only explanation!

Good boy!

But... how do I get back?

Dong Xuebin suddenly remembered something. When he just called Hu Shilian, he seemed to read a few words? Yes, it is. What is it? What was that? The abnormal scene in front of anyone can not stay calm, Dong Xuebin is no exception. Forget everything in a hurry. Hurry up and go to the dictionary that wants to grab half empty. You can grab it but take off your hand, the dictionary does not move!

Just like a cell phone! Dong Xuebin can't even afford it!

Or should I say, everything in the world is now stationary!

Dong Xuebin did not believe in evil, and once he grasped the dictionary, he made the dictionary move a little harder. This time, he pulled it in front of him in a raw way. It was very heavy. It felt like moving a dumbbell several times more than the dictionary sank. Then Dong Xuebin let go. The dictionary stopped in the middle of the sky. There was no tendency for the dictionary to land freely as usual. Like Harry Pottery's magic book, it just floated.

Dong Xuebin couldn't help but notice the surprise and quickly looked at it in the dictionary.

Yes, I remember!

It's STOP! I read STOP before. Chinese means STOP!

Dong Xuebin took a breath and shouted: “Stop! ”

…… the air is soothing!

Twice, the Englishman dictionary and mobile phone fell on the floor, the warm pot whimpering in the kitchen, the clock on the wall continued to walk up ticking, then looked out the window, Qin Yong walked out of the courtyard with a smile, and the sparrows flew over!

Time is back in vain!

stop is an order! Stop time instruction!

“Hello, Director? Director?” The cellphones on the ground are sending Hushlen's voice.

Dong Xuebin quickly lowered his head and picked it up. “Hello, Sister Hu, it's me. ”

“What's the matter? Bad signal?” Then she went on to say, "Looks like I'm going to have to learn from you. I've let go of my English for a few years, and I'll study again some other day. ”

Dong Xuebin looked left, look right, “What, just now... are you okay? ”

“Just now? What just happened? ”

She didn't notice? Alone? "'Well, nothing,' said Dong Xuebin. 'The signal seems to have broken. ”

“Well, let's not talk about it. Oops, it's time for me to go to work. ”

Hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin Khan sat on the sofa behind his back, wiped his head. He had some palpitations for a while, but he was really not prepared.

- Stop?

Is that your ability too?

back time? Stop time?

Dong Xuebin ordered a cigarette and smoked it hard. He was surprised and surprised. He could have one more card. Naturally, this was a good thing. After a few minutes of calm, Dong Xuebin quickly accepted this fact. There was no way to do it. Back, this kind of thing that could go backwards in time appeared on him. Now another stop that could stop the time is nothing. Previously, I only found the back. I thought my ability was backtime, but now it seems that this ability should be backtime, backward, stopping, and the dial under the menu heralds this.

Shit time?

Dong Xuebin was excited when he was in Deng.

From the experiment just now, the back and stop are shared with the rest of the time, that is, one minute saved per day, and the stop is not like the back shout is the default minute, the stop is similar to the menu instruction, shout once to execute, shout again to recover.

Dong Xuebin had to experiment several more times.

sTOP... STOP... Finally, Dong Xuebin thought of a possibility. After the accident at the beginning, what happened to him unexpectedly after his death, and then one minute more than everyone else in the world said every day? When I died and came back to life, it was about a minute, maybe this minute wasn't counted in the time of the world? So you spend 60 seconds more every day than anybody else? But this minute can't be synchronized with everyone in the world, so it's accumulated, stopping time is fine, retreating time is all at your disposal? Because it's free time for you to come out?

This is the most reasonable explanation Dong Xuebin could come up with.
