Strange information

My name is Du Lei, and I am a senior one student. I just transferred to Kanglun private high school. Kanglun is a fully enclosed boarding middle school, which is strictly famous. I wouldn't have come if my mother hadn't taken the trouble to transfer me to this school.

There are many clubs in Kanglun, and the president of the football club found me the day after I moved into the dormitory. President Xiong Mu is extremely burly, with a silver football necklace around his neck. He is a sophomore. Seeing that I am tall, he wants to invite me to join the football team. I like playing football very much, and the striker plays well, so I readily agreed.

I quickly adapted to Conlon's life, but not long ago, an incredible thing happened. I didn't tell anyone, because it was so strange. I am not a timid person, but now I think about it, it still makes me shudder.

I still remember that night, I vaguely wanted to go to the toilet, but I was too lazy to get up. At this time, I felt a gust of wind blowing, which made me tremble all over. At that time, the doors and windows in the room were closed, and only the moonlight shone through the thin curtains, giving off a faint light. Suddenly a figure appeared in the room out of thin air. He appeared out of thin air because of the way he appeared. He first stretched out a hand in the blue air, then a head and a half body, and finally formed a complete human figure.

He went straight to my bed and bowed his head. I held my breath and made no noise. I can't see his face clearly, but I'm sure he is looking at me. Finally, he turned and walked to the desk, as if writing something. About the time he wrote a few words, the figure suddenly disappeared and the pen in his hand fell on the table.

At night, I dare not go to my desk to see what he wrote. I didn't get up until dawn and saw a strange font written on the notebook on the desk-"I'm still here ...".

The boy who fell in love with this statue

Because of football, Xiong Mu and I have become very good friends. That weekend, all my classmates went home, but I didn't. My parents went to my grandmother's house and won't come back for a month. Xiong Mu didn't leave either. In the evening, he came to me and said, "Come on, stay in my dormitory for two days."

The housemaster will not agree to change the dormitory at ordinary times. But at the weekend, he turned a blind eye.

That day, I was lying in Xiong Mu's bed and chatting with him. He said that our city has a strange power outage every year, and the whole city is in darkness. No one knows why this happened, and the power company has searched many times without results.

Later, we didn't know how to say the beauty queen. I joked that Xiong Mu must like her. Xiong Mu said with a straight face, "No, absolutely not."

I smiled when I saw him waiting for a while. "I don't need to explain, I understand everything."

Xiong Mu stood up. "If I say no, there won't be. Who will like her? "

Xiong Mu is really as the name implies, too serious, and suddenly standing up is really a bit bluffing.

I said, "Hey, I'm kidding. Why are you so serious? "

Xiong Mu bitterly sat down, and the sturdy iron bed made him sit creaking.

"Oh, it seems that there is already a sweetheart."

This time, he didn't refute. Sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at the ground, I lost my mind for a long time.

I looked at the ground and made sure there was no problem. I said to him, "Hello, Shen Yuan is out of his body."

Xiong Mu suddenly raised his head. "There is one thing I want to tell you. This has always been a secret. You can't tell others if you know it. "

I sat up and patted my chest. "You can rest assured that we are the best buddies. I won't talk nonsense. "

After a long time, Xiong Mu said something that surprised me: "I have liked the statue of a girl since I was six years old."

"Statue?" I must repeat it again to make sure that I really heard it right.

"yes." Xiong Mu nodded and asked me if I wanted to see it. I jumped out of bed and asked him where he was. Xiong Mu turned on the computer. After a while, I saw a photo.

"This is a person! How can it be a statue? "

This is a group of photos about a girl growing up, from 6 years old to 16 years old. Judging from the photos, I don't believe it can be a statue at all. But Xiong Mu said firmly: "This is indeed a statue."

"Then take me to see the truth!"

Xiong Mu patted the table and said, "OK, I'll take you there tomorrow!"

Weird villa

The next night, Xiong Mu and I quietly ran over the wall from the school. I followed Xiong Mu excitedly, as if playing an adventure game. The moon has been hidden in the clouds, echoing the atmosphere at the scene. We walked for about 10 minutes and came to a big villa. The whole villa was dark, only a window on the second floor gave out a faint light.

I always thought Du Lei Daily was good, so I moved here to recommend it.

Xiong Mu turned to me and said, "Be gentle. I'll take you in. "

I nodded and followed him around to the back of the villa, where there was a big hole in the wall, only covered with knee-high weeds. After drilling through the hole in the wall, I saw a mess in the yard. However, Xiong Mu bypassed all the traps and walked into the villa. The living room of the villa is still messy, the air is humid, and it smells moldy. All the furniture is covered with old dust. Wooden stairs, each level is like a trap, slightly sunken.

On the second floor, Xiong Mu stood in front of a door and said, This is it. I gently pushed open the door, stunned. The room and the outside are two completely different worlds. The room is spotless pink with 1 1 beautiful statues. Except for their frozen eyes, it is almost impossible to see that they are carved.

"Beautiful. She is the girl I like. "

I nodded incredulously and tried to walk over and have a closer look. There was a sudden loud noise downstairs, and then it fell into endless darkness. Xiong Mu shouted and rushed downstairs. "It turns out that the root cause of the blackout in the whole city is here." I looked out the window, and there was really no light in the whole city.

I heard Xiong Mu kicking things all the way. But I don't know this house as well as he does. I can only grope my way forward in the dark.

Suddenly, I couldn't hear Xiong Mu's voice, so I called him in a low voice. He replied, as if in a corner of the living room. The clouds cracked a crack slightly, releasing white and cold moonlight. When I saw Xiong Mu's back, I suddenly felt an inexplicable fear, which made me tremble all over.

"Come on." I heard Xiong Mu's voice and hesitated to touch him. It turned out that in front of him was a door leading to the underground. But to me, it looks like the entrance to the underground world.

Time selector

The whole basement is full of strange machines and thick cables are connected everywhere. There is a huge glass cover in the middle of the basement, with dazzling green light flowing inside.

Xiong Mu and I waited for a while. Looking at this strange scene, the green light in the glass suddenly exploded. I watched the green light recede and an old man appeared. Short and sparse white hair, piled on the head like grass. He slowly opened his eyes and suddenly saw Xiong Mu and I standing in the same place. He opened the door of the glass cover and shouted angrily, "How did you get in? Get out, you get out! "

Xiong Mu and I turned and ran. But just ran two steps, Xiong Mu turned back. He went straight to the old man and said to him, "Tell me who the girl upstairs is?"

Xiong Mu's tall figure, tough attitude and condescending prestige left the old man speechless.

"Please tell me."

Looking at Xiong Mu's sincere attitude, the old man sighed and said, "Well, I'll tell you ..."

It turns out that the old man has a beautiful daughter named Wang Ling. Because I was too immersed in the study of time machine at that time, I neglected the care of my daughter. When she was 6 years old, she was playing alone and was killed by a running car. Since then, the old man has spent all his energy on studying the time machine, hoping to open the door of the dimension and have a chance to go back to the past and save his daughter.

It takes too much energy to turn on the time machine, and the power supply in the whole city will be temporarily suspended. He didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he only tried once a year. If he failed, he continued to prepare.

Every year, the old man uses a computer to simulate his daughter's growth and then casts a perfect statue. There's no sign of a knife or axe. That's Xiong Mu's favorite statue. In fact, the old man knew that Xiong Mu often came to see his daughter, but he didn't stop him. Because in his heart, he always wanted his beloved daughter to have a friend like Xiong Mu to grow up with.

At three o'clock in the morning, I finally left with Xiong Mu. Xiong Mu said that he had climbed the hole in the wall for ten years, and this was the first time he walked out of the gate. Xiong Mu laughed loudly. When the old man closed the door, Xiong Mu mysteriously pulled me over again. I asked him inexplicably, "What's the matter?"

He said, "Are we friends?"

"yes."

"You have to help me this time."

"What are you going to do?"

"Send me to 1 1 years ago."

What have I done?

Xiong Mu and I waited outside the wall for a long time, and then crept back from the hole in the wall. It turned out that he only asked questions to go back to the past. Walking towards the entrance of the basement in the dark, I grabbed Xiong Mu: "On second thought, that's not funny at all. The old man didn't succeed once in so many years. How dare you go? "

Xiong Mu grabbed my arm and said quickly, "I must go back and save her. You are my best friend. Will you help or not? " I looked into Xiong Mu's eyes and was shocked by that strong determination. I nodded involuntarily. "Ok, let's go."

I always thought Du Lei Daily was good, so I moved here to recommend it.

I followed Xiong Mu into the basement and watched him turn on the equipment carefully and set the time. My hands have been sweating. Just as Xiong Mu was adjusting the last setting, there was a sudden "thumping" downstairs. Mu Xiong Fei quickly looked at the doorway, rushed into the huge glass cover and shouted at me: "Send it quickly!"

At this time, the old man upstairs also rushed down. I didn't have time to think about it, so I desperately pressed the button on the operating table. Suddenly there was a loud noise, and all the lights went out except the green flame in the glass cover. I heard Xiong Mu's shouts come to a screeching halt.

I absently watched the green light recede, Xiong Mu had disappeared, and the old man sat down on the ground feebly. "What did you do? You may hurt him. "

Only then did I start to be afraid. Yes, what did I do?

"The time machine has not been completely successful. He may get lost in time and space! " The old man's voice became hoarse, leaving only a helpless sigh.

I waited in the basement all day, but Xiong Mu didn't come back. I may have really made a huge mistake. I've been walking around the glass cover, and I can't be quiet for a moment.

In the evening, the old man suddenly stood up and said to me, "Don't wait here either. You'd better go back first. I'll let you know as soon as I have news. "

I looked at him and had no choice but to go back to the dormitory and fall asleep alone. I don't know how long I slept until my roommate woke me up and said someone was looking for me.

A girls' school is called Wang Ling.

It is a girl who is looking for me, a student of the girls' school next door. Long hair, looks familiar, but I can't name it. She smiled and said to me, "Hello, are you a friend of Xiong Mu?"

I nodded slowly and asked her, "Are you ..."

"I'm here to see Xiong Mu. My name is Wang Ling. "

Wang Ling!' I suddenly realized that she was the statue girl. I jumped up with excitement. "It worked! Success! "

Wang Ling looked at me inexplicably. "What succeeded?"

Looking at the puzzled Wang Ling, I finally calmed down and smiled awkwardly. "Nothing! Is Xiong Mu back? "

"I'm here to ask you where he went? Why do you ask me? "

I was shocked. Xiong Mu saved Wang Ling. She should be 6 years old. Wang Ling came to me, which shows that he succeeded, but why hasn't he come back yet?

Wang Ling held out his hand and waved it in front of my eyes: "Hey, you don't know where Xiong Mu went, do you?"

I came to my senses: "He may come back soon. What do you want with him? "

"This is a very strange thing, you don't understand."

"You said, maybe I'm the only one who really understands this."

"You know what? When I was 6 years old, I was almost killed by a car, but I was saved by one person. He gave me a necklace and left. Didn't say anything. Until last week, I met Xiong Mu on the road and found that he looked exactly like that man and wore the same necklace. So I found it, but he wasn't there. "

I looked at the football necklace around Wang Ling's neck and said absently, "Yes, he was here last week, and now he doesn't know where to go." Looking at me blankly, Wang Ling had to leave disappointed. I went straight to that strange villa.

Helpless ending

When I stood in front of the villa, I was completely confused. This once strange old house is now full of the fragrance of flowers and plants. And that crazy old man has become like an amiable old gardener, standing in the garden playing with his flowers and plants.

I knocked at the door and said that I was a friend of Wang Ling. The old man invited me into the house. Sitting in the spacious and bright living room with the old man, I pretended to casually mention the time machine, and the old man suddenly became interested and dragged me to the basement. There is no huge time machine, only his flower seeds and fertilizer are stored there. He dug out a huge sketch, spread it on the ground and said, "This is my time machine, but now it's just a dream."

There is no motivation to save my daughter, and the time machine is just an unfinished sketch.

I have been thinking about the relationship between time and history since the old house. If Xiong Mu saved Wang Ling, then Wang Ling didn't die. If Wang Ling didn't die, how could Xiong Mu fall in love with the sculpture Wang Ling? Now even the time machine is a dream, so how can Xiong Mu go back to the past? If Xiong Mu hadn't gone back, Wang Ling would have died. ...

Oh, my God, it's a chicken-and-egg problem. I really can't think of a reasonable way out. But in any case, Xiong Mu never came back, and the school called the police. Only I know that it is a migrant worker. I am very distressed. I made my best friend disappear without a trace.

That day, in Chinese class, when I took out my notebook, I was shocked. There are four words written on the notebook, "I'm still here ..." It looked strange at that time, but now it looks particularly familiar. This is Xiong Mu's handwriting. I suddenly understood why I felt so scared when I saw Xiong Mu's burly figure in front of the basement that day. Because I have seen his figure appear in the dormitory out of thin air. That day, he must have thought I was asleep. He knew we didn't know each other at that time. So if he's not finished, tell me he's still alive.

Yes, he is still alive, but he doesn't even know when he will appear next time. Because he has been lost in the maze of time and space. And I can only look forward to the next uncertain meeting with him.

Is this it?
