Chapter 5 The world slows down

The sky outside has darkened, and there are many more pedestrians and vehicles on the street. These people are talking to each other, some are talking about the power outage, and some are looking around.

Li Ming was also a little curious, but now everything has returned to normal.

"What happened just now?"

"Maybe something went wrong somewhere."

You said something to each other, even if they didn't know each other, they were talking about each other. Li Ming didn't know what they were discussing, but he could tell the general meaning. There might have been a power outage, but Li Ming would never have imagined that. The power outage turned out to be related to him. At this moment, he was just standing by the street, looking at the red light in front of him, and listening to the few words of those people.

A young woman in her twenties walked out of the gate of the community on the opposite side of the street. Under the evening sky, Li Ming could clearly see her delicate face. Her long, light yellow hair was slowly fluttering in the breeze. She was dressed in blue jeans. The jumpsuit perfectly showed off the other person's graceful figure. At this time, the woman was holding a mobile phone in one hand and a rope in the other, and at the end of the rope was a snow-white puppy.

Li Ming's eyes couldn't help but see the snow-white puppy. He didn't know what breed it was, but it was very cute. However, when the puppy noticed Li Ming, it barked a few times.

Li Ming didn't care and just smiled slightly. The puppy continued to bark wildly. Suddenly, it jumped up, broke free from the leash from the woman's hand and ran straight towards Li Ming.

The long-haired woman who was concentrating on watching her phone felt her hands empty, and hurriedly called to the puppy , " Maomao, Maomao ... "

While shouting, the woman was about to rush into the road to chase the puppy back, and at this moment, a black car suddenly came rushing over, and the puppy was about to be hit. The woman hurriedly stopped, screamed, and covered her face with her hands.

"Hey ... !" Li Ming shouted in a hurry, trying to stop the driver, but the other party could not hear Li Ming's shouting at all. In addition, the car was going very fast, and the driver was already stepping on the brakes quickly when he saw the puppy, but it was still too late.

Li Ming took a step out in a hurry. At the moment when Li Ming took this step, the whole world seemed to stop. The speed of the car suddenly slowed down a lot. The puppy seemed to have stopped in place, but it was still there. As if running.

All the sounds around him seemed to have slowed down more than ten times, reaching Li Ming's ears bit by bit.

Li Ming picked up the puppy and carried it to the opposite side. The moment Li Ming stopped, the black car flew past with the sound of brakes. The puppy was still shouting at Li Ming in Li Ming's arms. roared.

Hearing the barking of the puppy, the long-haired woman immediately noticed Li Ming and her pet dog. She quickly took it from Li Ming's arms and looked at the puppy worriedly.

"Maomao ... scared me to death." The woman hugged the white puppy tightly and whispered.

"Thank you." The woman quickly looked at Li Ming again and nodded slightly in thanks.

Li Ming smiled lightly, shook his hand and said , " It's okay, it's okay ... "

With that said, Li Ming walked directly into the community. At this time, Li Ming's mind was filled with the scene of rescuing the puppy just now, and he secretly said to himself: What happened just now? What the hell?

Why is everything slowing down or not moving? No, it's impossible.

After thinking about it, Li Ming took the elevator back to the door of his house again. As soon as he opened the door, a strange smell hit his nose, and Li Ming immediately looked towards the bathroom.

"I'm going, I almost forgot!" Li Ming took a few steps and hurriedly opened the bathroom door.

I have no choice but to start cleaning up. I have to deal with the sins I have made with tears in my eyes, otherwise this room will no longer be habitable!

Putting on a mask, blocking his nostrils, and closing the bathroom door, Li Ming began to clean up. This cleaning took several hours. After cleaning thoroughly, Li Ming had to take a shower, and at the same time, he had to wash the bathroom repeatedly. Spray air freshener in the bathroom.

By the time all this was over, it was already midnight. Li Ming walked out of the bathroom and returned to the bedroom. He repeatedly smelled various places on his body. Although there was no peculiar smell, he still felt strange.

The walls of Li Ming's bedroom are covered with various nebula patterns, photos of galaxies and planets. When you walk into the bedroom, you feel like you have entered the vast universe. There is also an astronomical telescope on the window sill of the bedroom. Li Ming saved up his salary for a long time to buy the equipment.

Every day before going to bed, he has to look at the endless starry sky and the universe. There seems to be some mysterious power and civilization in that wonderful space, which makes Li Ming infinitely yearning and unable to extricate himself.

Every planet has its own unique beauty, just like human beings' precious diamonds, dazzling and full of mystery and unknown.

After watching for a long time, Li Ming returned to bed, ended his day, and turned out the lights. Li Ming lay quietly, picked up his phone and checked the time, and then put it down again. At this time, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and he couldn't help but think of today. What happened in one day.

I kicked off the iron shelf, ate more desserts in one day than I could finish in a year, was extremely comfortable and excited when I was electrocuted in the mall, and finally saved the puppy. I felt like a superman all day long.

Picture after picture kept reappearing in his mind. Thinking of these things, Li Ming's eyes slowly closed.

There are occasional sounds of cars driving in the city late at night, and occasionally the voices of others talking. It feels far away, but it is heard very clearly.

Unknowingly, Li Ming completely fell into sleep. The night was dark and silent. Everything in Li Ming's bedroom was as usual. With the sound of sleeping breathing, a little light suddenly flashed on Li Ming's forehead.

The light was very weak, not enough to illuminate the surroundings. It could only highlight its existence in the darkness. A spherical transparent luminous body slowly overflowed from Li Ming's forehead.

This object is very soft, like jelly, and is exactly the same as the liquid sphere Li Ming swallowed last night, except that it is now completely transparent.

After leaving Li Ming's forehead, the object slowly flew into the air. The surface of the sphere continuously fluctuated like water ripples. With the weak fluctuations, the object continued to move around, just like a jellyfish swimming in the sea.

After a while, I came to the wall and paused in front of the hanging nebula pattern, as if I was watching the nebulae on the pattern. Then I drifted to the galaxy photos hanging in the room, and paused for a while again.

It seemed that everything in the house aroused the curiosity of this thing, swimming back and forth, and sometimes going to the window to look at the tall buildings outside through the glass.

After a few more fluctuations, the thing floated to the mobile phone on Li Ming's bed. After slowly stopping above the mobile phone, a certain starlight in the transparent sphere suddenly lit up. This sesame-sized starlight quickly shot out a thin and weak line. The beam comes out.

As soon as the weak beam of light hits the screen of the phone, the phone automatically lights up and unlocks as if someone is operating it. Then various contents begin to appear quickly on the screen of the phone. Each piece of content only appears for a moment and then changes immediately. into other content.

A mobile phone is like a computer. All kinds of information flash past quickly, including news, geography, oceans, wars, animals, and plants. It is as if the information shared on the Internet is flashing on the screen.

The rapid switching of patterns and information on the screen is like a machine browsing and copying all the content.

Pictures and introductions of all known animals, plants, and organisms on Earth flashed by at a speed of tens of thousands per second. After all this information was finished, a human figure suddenly appeared on the phone screen.

The transparent sphere looked at the human pattern on the screen, and the tiny blue beam of light suddenly turned and shone on Li Ming who was sleeping soundly.

However, after a pause of only one or two seconds, the light beam returned to the mobile phone screen and began to display mountains and rivers, human geography, national languages, war weapons, energy use, data networks, and so on.

After all the information flashed by, only a photo of the earth was left on the mobile phone screen. The transparent sphere suddenly stopped moving, and the photo of the earth appeared for several minutes.

The blue beam continued to shine on the phone, but the screen of the phone suddenly went black, the battery was exhausted, and it automatically shut down.

The shape of the transparent sphere fluctuated and came to the top of Li Ming's face. Two starlight points in the sphere suddenly lit up, and two blue beams of light shot out. The two beams of light shone on Li Ming's closed eyes.

Li Ming's expression suddenly moved slightly while he was sleeping, and a picture of the vast universe suddenly appeared in his visual mind.
