Void Jigsaw Puzzle

After Zhong Chenmu gathered the opinions of the advance team members, he organized his thoughts and ran to Pierce's office.

Pierce was not in the office. Pu Yue happened to come out and told him, "The president went to the library reading room today. If you want to see him, you can go to the library."

"it is good!"

Zhong Chenmu turned around and ran towards the elevator without saying a word.

The elevator in the Linjiang Building is very distinctive, located right at the edge of the entire building. The outer side of the car is completely transparent, and combined with the transparent glass curtain wall along the up and down paths, passengers can have a panoramic view of the square below and the Leyou Pavilion area next to it while going up and down, perfectly serving the effect of a sightseeing elevator.

At this moment, in the rapidly descending elevator, Zhong Chenmu could not see the scene outside clearly.

Because it was raining heavily outside, the continuous raindrops were wrapped in the wind and hit the glass curtain wall outside the elevator, forming splashes of water of different sizes.

Just as the elevator was about to reach the bottom floor, Zhong Chenmu narrowed his eyes slightly, focused his gaze in one direction, and looked out through the splashes of water.

At the intersection in front of the square downstairs, there are four neatly arranged black and white zebra crossings, forming a square, providing crossing guidance for people at the four intersections.

And on the zebra crossing opposite the main entrance of Linjiang Building, a person was walking towards them.

At this time, the traffic light corresponding to this intersection happened to be green. There was nothing strange about seeing pedestrians on the zebra crossing, but what attracted Zhong Chenmu's attention was that the person seemed to be just a little girl.

The little girl was wearing a bright red coat. In such heavy rain, she didn't hold an umbrella and there was no adult to look after her. She just let the heavy rain pour down on her.

But she was neither anxious nor flustered. She was like a machine and seemed numb.

Under the dim sky, in the gloomy wind and rain, a girl in red walked in front of rows of cars. The whole picture looked very vivid and a little weird.

Suddenly, a speeding black car broke into the scene. The car seemed to have drilled out from underground. It completely ignored the red lights and zebra crossings and actually crashed directly into the little girl!

Zhong Chenmu was just thinking, "Why doesn't this little girl hold an umbrella? What is her background?" At this moment, his eyes widened and his pupils contracted violently. He felt dizzy in his head, and the green numbers began to appear and flash again.

When the elevator stopped steadily at the bottom floor, the previous seven-digit number had returned to zero.

In just half a second, it changed from "1111111" to "0000000".

He also watched through the transparent walls and glass curtain wall of the elevator car. He watched with his own eyes as the white stripes of the zebra crossing beneath the little girl's feet suddenly rose rapidly from the ground, forming a series of solid stone walls. The little girl was perfectly sandwiched between the two walls, tightly protected.

At the moment the stone wall was erected, the black car crashed into it, and the front of the car was instantly smashed to pieces. Due to inertia, the whole car was heavily squeezed between the gaps in the stone wall.

Suddenly, the whole scene was in chaos.

"Oh no, we have to save that little girl quickly! We can't let her see the tragic scene of the car crashing into the stone wall!" Zhong Chenmu rushed out the moment the elevator door opened.

However, when he subconsciously turned around and looked at the zebra crossing again, his heart skipped a beat.

However, he could no longer care about so many things at this time. He rushed out of the main gate of Linjiang Tower in a few steps and ran to the zebra crossing in the heavy rain - it would be better to say that it was in front of the "zebra crossing stone forest" at this time.

He found the little girl between two stone walls.

At this moment, she collapsed to the ground, her eyes looking in horror in the direction where the front of the car was squeezed.

Zhong Chenmu took a look and saw that the windshield was cracked but not completely shattered. The airbag inside was fully deployed and the driver's condition could not be seen clearly.

He was relieved.

If it weren't for the airbag, the windshield would probably be covered with red blood and yellow-white brain matter. If the little girl saw it, I wonder how big the psychological trauma she would have suffered!

He picked up the little girl and said, "Let's get out of here and hide in the building over there!"

The little girl had completely lost her judgment and was trembling all over, allowing Zhong Chenmu to take her away from the scene.

When the two returned to the lobby on the ground floor of Linjiang Building, they were both soaked.

While gasping for breath, Zhong Chenmu called Guo Ling and quickly explained the situation.

Not long after, Fan Ting and Guo Ling came out of the elevator one after another.

"You guys take care of this little girl first, and call the police as soon as possible. I still have to go to the library!" Zhong Chenmu said to Fan Ting.

"Are you still going? You're soaked."

"It doesn't matter, we're all wet anyway."

Guo Ling said, "It's okay, let him go, young man. A little rain is nothing. We will take good care of the little girl. If there is any problem, we will tell you when you come back."

Zhong Chenmu gave him a thumbs up and rushed out the door again.

The intersection at this moment is in chaos.

Cars from all directions were stuck in the middle, no one was giving way, and the traffic lights were completely useless.

The sounds of honking horns and cursing mixed with the heavy rain made people feel cold all over.

Thinking about how peaceful and orderly the scene was when he got off the elevator just now, Zhong Chenmu sighed and shook his head.

He had no time to lament.

It is several kilometers from Linjiang Building to the library. According to the current traffic conditions, both buses and taxis are severely congested. He can only quickly find a bicycle and ride there in the rain.

While riding his bike, he reviewed the scene just now.

There was no doubt that his system helped him save the little girl, and before rushing towards the little girl, when he looked back after leaving the elevator, he clearly saw another crack in the gloomy sky.

"This is the third time..."

He felt that he was getting closer and closer to understanding the truth about this system in his body, but when he was riding a bike, he couldn't concentrate and think.

I can only wait until I finish talking to Pierce.

Rushing to the library door, Zhong Chenmu quickly parked his bicycle and ran into the library.

The bicycle behind him swayed twice in the wind and rain and fell to the ground, but he didn't care at all.

When he arrived at the door of the reading room, he looked like he had been pulled out of the water, with water dripping from his hair to his trouser legs.

As long as he stood there for a while, a small puddle of water would form under his feet.

Because of the heavy rain today, there are very few people coming to the reading room. Zhong Chenmu's older colleague is sitting in the office area bored and drowsy.

Hearing the noise at the door, she looked up and saw a soaked person looking at her in the dim light. She was so scared that she screamed "Oh my God" and jumped up from the chair.

Zhong Chenmu quickly stretched out his hand and shouted, "It's me... Xiao Zhong..."

Before the eldest sister could react, a powerful voice came first: "Oh? Captain Zhong, you are so touching. You rushed here in such bad weather. You must be looking for me, right?"

Then, a tall figure walked out and waved at the older sister: "It's okay, it's Xiao Zhong."

The eldest sister breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Okay, okay, you guys chat slowly."

Then, like a deflated balloon, she sat back in her seat.

"President, I'm all wet now. I'm afraid of making the reading room dirty, so I won't come in. How about you just come out and we can chat in the hall? There aren't many people here anyway." Zhong Chenmu said.

Pierce looked Zhong Chenmu up and down with his light blue eyes and nodded: "Okay, wait for me to put the book back first."

Not long after, he walked out of the reading room empty-handed and came in front of Zhong Chenmu.

"Your spirit is indeed commendable, but...Captain Zhong, are you hiding something from me?"
