Chapter 1,491 The Situation Continues, in Various Senses

I raised my head and stared at the scene outside the window.

Everything is as usual, as if nothing happened.

But I am sure that I must have seen something wrong just now. Even though it was only for a moment, something did flash... It is difficult to describe what happened. If I have to say it, it is a bit like seeing through Looking at the world through a kaleidoscope, the scenery outside the window becomes fragmented in that moment, the light is distorted and entangled, and the details are blurred, just like looking through a piece of uneven patterned glass.

Just now, the outside of the glass window turned into such a strange look... If this was on a spaceship, it could be said that it was undergoing a hyperspace jump, which caused optical distortion, but now he was sitting in a room on the earth. In the tea room, I can only wonder if I am hallucinating - is it possible that I have been so overworked recently that I am going to have a neurasthenia even with my constitution?

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xue was chatting with her brother. She noticed my abnormal behavior and immediately asked curiously, "Is there a beautiful woman doing a backflip outside and rushing on her way?"

Me: "...why do you need to add such a bunch of weird verbs after beauty!"

"You guys have seen too many beautiful girls, how can you be so enchanted without any extra visual impact?" The eldest lady rolled her eyes, "Xiao Feng, you just said that there is a Chinese werewolf missing in Europe...I Remember, there are no werewolves in China."

Lin Feng didn't bother to answer Lin Xue's words. He looked out of the window blankly like me: "Sister, I seemed to have seen the glass cracked just now... Now it looks normal again."

The little crow who was lying on the table counting glass beads also raised his hand: "I saw it too! I saw it too! The window was stained!"

Lin Xue blinked in confusion and carefully studied the window closest to him. But she didn't find anything unusual, and then she looked at the two people at the table who didn't speak. Sally and Master Fox Fairy shook their heads at the same time: "I didn't pay attention just now!"

"Are you guys kidding me together?" Lin Xue pouted, then narrowed her eyes slightly, "Let me see what's going on. Don't be surprised if you want to make such a boring joke... Hey, why did you spend so much time just now! "

"Yeah, I thought I was hallucinating," I grinned, then froze. "Wait, something's wrong..."

The people present are basically not ordinary people. Sally, a theoretical "normal person", still knows all kinds of secrets. We mostly deal with all kinds of weird things every day, especially Lin Feng, who is even more sensitive to this. , he first quickly looked around to make sure that all the guests in the tea room looked normal. Then he whispered to us: "Except for Sally and this... Fox Fairy who didn't pay attention just now, now we all know that there was a 'flower' outside the window. Brother Chen, please tell me first what scene you saw?"

I immediately told the scene exactly what I saw, and then the little crow also described what she saw in a messy way. Although the silly bird’s words were all confusing, I was basically sure that what she saw was the same as what I saw. Scene: The scenery outside the window was chaotic.

"We can rule out hallucinations." Lin Feng nodded professionally, "Everyone has seen the same scene, and I can confirm that something did happen outside the teahouse just now. In my judgment, it was a bit like a momentary illusion, but it seems that here No one else saw it...Sister. Do you know what is going on?"

Lin Xue opened her mouth, but before she spoke, I felt something small move on my chest. Dingdang carefully poked his little head out from the edge of his pocket and called out in a low voice: "Um...Dingdang has something to report..."

I immediately had an ominous premonition, and when Dingdang continued to speak, this premonition came true: "Just now, World Tree seemed to have called the police..."

After hearing Ding Dong's words, everyone at the scene was sweating (except for Silly Bird, who was still counting the glass beads she just got). Even the second-rate fox looked nervous: the fox usually has some personality problems. , but he still understands the truth deep down.

I quickly patted my pocket and asked Dingdang to retract his head, then opened the mental connection public channel, and pulled Lin Feng and Sally into the channel: "Don't say it outside... World Tree calls the police? What's going on?"

"It's just a common system error, like a 'ding', the operating system reports an alarm, and then everything goes away."

I raised my head and looked at the window lattice at a 45-degree angle, and found that I couldn't imagine what it would be like for the World Tree to "ding", so I put the question aside: "Just called the police? Then nothing abnormal happened?" The World Tree is a deadly thing..."

Dingdang's tone was very disapproving: "It's normal. On average, World Tree alarms at least once a week and restarts once a month. The world's underlying data has a certain fault tolerance rate. As long as it does not exceed the threshold, it is normal operation. This is allowed to happen. It’s an alarm. Just now, Dingdang has asked World Tree to perform a self-check, and the system is in good condition. The alarm was caused by the overflow of information in this universe’s stable state, but it has been repaired.”

Finally, the little guy added: "Actually, Dingdang didn't tell you when there was a mild alarm in the World Tree, because it was a daily phenomenon. It's just that you all said you saw strange things just now, and it happened that the World Tree called the police. A police officer, Dingdang only raised it."

Hearing Dingdang's explanation, I was a little relieved. Although the little thing is usually a bit messy in all aspects, it is still relatively good in the position of "God"... Anyway, at least there hasn't been any big problem so far, since she said It was just a glitch. It should indeed be a glitch. However, the faces of Lin Feng and Sally in front of us still changed. Lin Feng looked at my pocket uneasily: "Brother Chen, if I didn't remember Wrong, this should be the current main god of our world...Why am I suddenly not so optimistic about life?"

I smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to block the shot for Dingdang: Not to mention Lin Feng, I also gave up hope in this world when I saw the blue screen of World Tree for the first time...

"You said that World Tree usually calls the police," Lin Xue thought for a while. Ask Dingdang in the spiritual connection, "Then why haven't we noticed anything abnormal in the world before? Did we see it this time?"

"There is an error in fault compensation. The World Tree has the ability to automatically cover up and offset various faults. Whenever there is a situation in the universe, it will immediately cover up the abnormal phenomena. It is the same this time, so ordinary people here He didn't see any strange phenomena, but the 'fault compensation' sometimes can't be hidden from observers like Arjun who have too strong information disturbance, so he saw a distortion outside the window, and other people were very close to Arjun. There is a 'True Vision Zone' within a certain range around him, so you all have seen abnormal situations. But in the final analysis, this is still a matter of probability. The genuine operating system can repair the fault, but even Father God cannot react. Suddenly That's it," Dingdang explained, while reaching out his little hand from my pocket, "Jun. Dingdang wants to have some snacks!"

Lin Xue and I often listen to a group of gods at home discussing such sophisticated issues, so we have long been used to it. However, Lin Feng and Sally rarely come into contact with these. Both of them showed expressions as if they were listening to a book from heaven. Lin Feng thought After a long time, I finally came up with something: "So Brother Chen is basically equivalent to a real eye, right? When he stands here, his surrounding vision opens up..."

I looked at him silently. He reached out and pinched a small piece of snack crumbs and put it in his pocket to feed Ding Dong. He tilted his head and bit Lin Xue's ear: "Your brother's mouth is quite like yours."

At this time, a table of guests not far from us got up and left. The guest at this table had a child. The child glanced here and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Mom and Dad! That uncle is feeding his pocket with biscuits!"

"Silly boy, don't yell. Don't look over there."

I:"……"

After the guests at the table left, Lin Xue's face turned red, and she bent over to hold back her laughter. Finally, he kicked me under the table: "So don't dote on Dingdang too much. She has at least two hundred cubic meters of sweets in her pocket, and she keeps asking you for food all day long. Sooner or later, you have to raise her to rice. Worm."

Before I could say anything, Dingdang stretched out his little hand from his pocket again: "Ajun! Another piece! Dingdang didn't have enough to eat when he got up early!"

So I continued to stuff cookie crumbs into my pocket with an expressionless face, and while imagining my image in the eyes of others, I explained: "If you don't feed me, this little thing will bite people through their clothes, you know."

Lin Feng and Sally watched with great interest how I fed a small animal hiding in my pocket in public - of course they could see that I was already familiar with it, and I believed that this scene was what they were doing. Can't be seen anywhere else. Sally had a smile on her face and looked at my pocket expectantly: "Um...can I feed it?"

Before I could say anything, Lin Xue couldn't help but knock on the table: "Don't, he is already conspicuous enough by feeding his own pocket. If you are helping to feed him next to him, it will easily attract medical workers... …”

At this moment, our chat was suddenly interrupted by a cell phone ringing: it was from Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took out his mobile phone to answer the call, and I turned my head and muttered to Lin Xue: "It's rare these days for a young man over the age of twenty to use the Pleasant Goat theme song as his ringtone. He is quite childlike."

Lin Feng took the time to wave to me, and then quickly chatted with the person on the other side of the phone for a few words. He didn't hear clearly what the person on the other side was saying. He only saw Lin Feng agreeing and nodding. Sally waited until he hung up the phone. He asked curiously: "Are you going to work again?"

"The 'work unit' came to me and said there was something wrong with the observation point," Lin Feng said cryptically, "It's okay. You don't have to go far. It's in this city. I'll go check it out and I should be back in the afternoon."

"Why didn't anyone call me?" Lin Xue suddenly took out his mobile phone in frustration, "I am the leader in this area, okay? The higher-ups seem to have forgotten me."

"You usually run away half the time without a trace. The old man has long regarded you as a married girl and can't take you back," Lin Feng said as he stood up and prepared to go to the cashier to pay, "Then Sally and I will go first Let's take a step forward. I'll quickly go to my 'work' to check on the situation. If nothing happens, I might be able to go back and take a nap. You continue to chat. Also, Brother Chen, I don't know whether to say something or not..."

I saw that his expression was a little hesitant, and I was immediately very curious: "You said, there are no outsiders here."

Lin Feng pointed at the little crow next to him: "Didn't you notice that she has been squatting on the chair since just now?"

Me: "...Silly bird, get down here!"

After Lin Feng and Sally left, Lin Xue and I started to work together to educate the little crow. This bird has obviously been in human form for so long. And I receive education from my family almost every day, but there are still a few bad habits that cannot be cured: I don’t use chopsticks when eating, but just put it into my mouth. Squatting on a chair to eat, scratching his face with his feet (this is also the problem of the fox fairy), after going out, he picks up a lot of broken stones of all kinds and comes back to claim credit, oh, and now he also gets up early to crow on the roof... The good news is that she has stopped hatching eggs recently. The bad news is that she still makes a mess on her bed. She made the bedding into a bird's nest shape and tore it into a mess.

The more I think about it, the more complicated my thoughts become. In the end, Lin Xue and I stopped our educational careers coincidentally. We realized one thing: given the little crow’s current stinky condition, this bird is probably hopeless...

When she found that the adults were quiet, the little crow suddenly looked happy and continued to spread her precious glass beads on a table and pick them there: she did not realize that she had done anything wrong just now, and what was even more terrible was that she squatted again On the chair...

"I think so," Lin Xue looked around. "We'd better leave as soon as possible. We'd better take these two living treasures out in the future. Unless we're in Shadow City, we'd better stay away from public places."

I sighed, woke up the Fox Fairy who was already sleeping on the table and was drooling, and prepared to take the living treasures for a spin on the artificial lake and then go home. When we were leaving, the owner of the teahouse came out to see us off in person. He was a Northeastern man who seemed generous and kind. When he came out to see us off, he also specifically told us: "The pressure of going to school is a bit high now. It's normal for children to be a little rebellious." Yes. I also have a younger sister who always deliberately causes trouble when she is stressed...Finally, the young couple didn't pay your bill just now. They had four refreshments, two pots of tea and several fruit plates. Sheng Hui One hundred and eighteen..."

Lin Xue became murderous at that time: "I will hang that kid up and beat him when I go back! And this time he will definitely hang him head down!"

When I saw Lin Xue's appearance, I had one thought in my mind: It's better to have my own sister. When I was a child, I was beaten and never hung up...

We had a whole day of fun outside, just as we thought at the beginning: to put all the messy and annoying things behind for a while and let ourselves relax for once. But I visually judged that the one who had the most fun today was actually the two birds and beasts who came to join in the fun. The fox was okay, she usually ran out to play by herself, but the little crow was a relatively clingy guy, and she was more What I like most is the days when I go out and wander around with my family, but this has been something I haven’t been able to achieve for a long time.

And when we got home, we were faced with almost a roomful of resentment... Well, that was to be expected.

Anyway, as soon as I pushed the door open and entered the house, a small black shadow jumped up in front of me. This little guy at the front circled my neck half a circle like a nimble little monkey, and then settled down steadily. He sat on my shoulders and started to pull my head hard: "Why don't you take me with you! Why don't you take me with you! Why don't you take me with you!"

I don’t even know how she developed such eloquence back then. Ordinary people would have to think for a long time to say these three consecutive sentences, but the little doll just opened her mouth.

While I expertly blocked all the powerless joint moves of the little guy on my shoulders, I carried her to the living room, and then poured out all the small things I bought outside today and divided them one by one: Pandora and Weiss. Candies and "History of World War" for Ka, crystal beads and luminous toys for Xiaobubu, a large stuffed bear for Qianqian, a new set of kitchen utensils for my sister, and twenty-year classics from home and abroad for Anweina. A collection of ghost movies - she can watch it as a daily life movie. I also bought Lilina a new hairpin and a small bag of fertilizer. She can sprinkle a little on her head next time she is basking in the sun, but it seems that the guy is interested in the second gift. I don't like it very much...

Let’s not mention other people’s things for now. In short, in order to buy gifts for everyone in the family, Lin Xue and I almost walked around the entire old city. From this, it can be seen that it is very troublesome to have many strange creatures in the house. Well, the daily necessities each of them needs is almost enough to span the entire human civilization. If Lin Xue hadn't been holding on, I would have almost bought two strings of paper money for Anweina...

"Hey, where are our things?" When a group of girls, young and old, were happily grabbing gifts, Bingtis suddenly appeared out of nowhere, "Don't say there aren't any, I'm going crazy but..."

I poured out a lot of other things from the portable space and piled them on the coffee table: "You can divide it among yourself."

To be honest, I spent a lot of time buying things for the five gods, because I really didn’t know what this group of gods who could create the world would lack. After thinking about it, I was relieved: they didn’t lack anything and continued to do it every day. Going out for shopping is very exciting, which proves that the spiritual needs of these empty gods are much higher than the material needs. Translated into vernacular, it means that they are purely free, and you can just get them something to distract their attention... …

So Bingtis and Monina got the brushes for brushing wings, and Lin got a model of a fire-breathing dragon (bought at a toy store for thirty yuan, and there was also a set of higher-end dragon models. It's a pity that I I didn’t dare to buy it because the content of the model was about a warrior slaying a dragon), and Erson got a large box of white wax...

"Why are the things given to me so strange?" Ilson was carrying a large box inexplicably, "And it also says Lunan 4S franchise store... Is this for cars?"

Monina knocked on Ilson's chest casually: "Brother, this is for you to polish the armor... You wear like cans at home all day long, your body has almost turned into armor, okay?"

"Where's Uncle Kense?" I looked at the lively "spoils-sharing scene" and suddenly noticed that someone was missing, so I asked curiously.

"There is something wrong with the world he manages," Bingtis replied smoothly. "He went back to clean up the mess for the believers." (To be continued...)
