Chapter 58 The Corn Thief
During this period, except for the dream of the Phoenix girl, there were no other abnormalities, but in the past few days, the Phoenix girl had dreamed of the apocalypse from time to time.
Speaking of which, Charles and the Phoenix girl have been living together for almost a month. They eat and drink for free without any mention of getting some rent. Obviously, the semester of x college is over and there is a short vacation.
In the early morning, the three of them would scoop water outside an ancient well in the big yard and brush their teeth. At noon, the three of them would eat a few pieces of bread under the old oak tree in the distance. Phoenix Girl would tease Xiao Hei, and Jonathan would lie down under the oak tree and take a nice nap to keep his head clear for the day.
This is Jonathan's daily life. His daily job is to get into his mysterious underground laboratory.
"Stealing Corn"
Jonathan did not go to bed early that night. He yawned and stood alone in the cornfield a few kilometers away. Jonathan would go to the cornfield every other week, but in the past month or so, the corn in the cornfield had often disappeared for no reason. Jonathan concluded that basically someone would come to steal the corn every three or two days.
I finally made Jonathan wait for these two b's today.
A shit-yellow pick-up truck stopped on the dirt road next to the corn field. Two corn thieves, one black and one white, got out of the pick-up truck. It was obvious that they just wanted to make a little money without working.
If they really want to break into a house with a firearm, they simply don't have the guts. A small bag of corn is not worth a few bucks every day. If they are found out, they will be beaten. Moreover, it is difficult for a careless farmer to notice that there is less corn. There is no one around, and no one will notice.
"Johnson, be quick with your hands and feet. Just put one bag in and we'll drive away. Don't let anyone find out." Without saying a word, the white man pressed hard on the corn on the ground. The corn cob was broken off and thrown into the woven bag. Divide five by two, and a bag of corn will be full.
"How about we stop doing this? I don't want to go to jail."
"What are you afraid of? This farmer is extremely rich. Every year, the grain buyer has a lot of money. Why should we give us this little wage when we are exhausted from working for him every year? This is not good in the first place." fair"
The white man Jonathan spoke looked familiar. He was one of the workers he bargained with when harvesting corn a few days ago. The wages of workers in your own family will not be less than those of workers in other families, not to mention that as long as they work hard enough, they will get a little extra.
I remember that in the end the white man simply put down his sickle and left because of a disagreement. It turned out that he was holding something bad in his heart.
Human desires are unlimited. When you are sick and lying in bed, your only wish is to get well soon. When your body recovers, you will pray for financial resources.
"I'm used to you two"
Time was once again stopped by Jonathan, and it was still the familiar time tunnel world. This world is now like his own bedroom. He spends several hours in it every day. Sometimes Jonathan even stops time to cheat when playing chess with Charles.
The world where time stopped was silent. The world stopped moving like a still painting. One of the two men, a black man, was holding a cigarette and opened the car door and was about to escape.
Another white man was urinating into the cornfield, and the yellow water flowing out was frozen in the air, and it had not even hit the ground due to gravity.
"No matter how rich I am, it's still mine." In his own world, Jonathan is still square on the outside and round on the inside. He still abides by his own rules for this world, but he often relaxes wholeheartedly.
Pulling on the brown trousers belt of the white man who was peeing, no one in the world except Jonathan has weight, so the man was dragged into the air by Jonathan, and the stream of water still existed in the air in an incredible state.
Jonathan tied the two men together and pulled the rope around on the back of his bicycle.
The bicycle has weight, but it only weighs as much as Jonathan's body.
The two corn thieves were far from dead, and Jonathan was not a murderous person. The people he killed were people he wanted to kill, or people who were ruthless and endangered the lives of his family. Two cowardly corn thieves, as long as they are given enough lessons, they will have to think carefully next time they come out to steal corn.
When passing by an open park-style cemetery, Jonathan untied the smoking black man. He bent the man's knees and pushed him to the ground, kneeling down to apologize and repent. What he was facing was a tombstone in the cemetery.
As time goes by, the man will find himself standing smoking in front of the cornfield, suddenly kneeling in a cemetery a few kilometers away.
Normal people would probably be scared to death after experiencing this incident. After all, although the news of mutants has been looming in society, seeing is believing and hearing is not. They will always think that the mutants who appear on TV are far away from them. , and mutants are a very small minority after all.
The other man was even worse. It happened that Jonathan wanted to buy a bag of flour before the supermarket closed, so he pulled him down into the supermarket and found a suitable position, still in a peeing position.
Although there are fewer people in the supermarket at night, there are still customers in twos and threes and waiters sorting the goods. When time moves forward again, he will continue to urinate in the supermarket without realizing it.
"good"
Jonathan took a bag of chips from the supermarket shelf, tore open the bag and chewed a few mouthfuls. He tore open a bag of raisins on a shelf that said "Do not open for consumption" and stuffed it into his mouth. I bought a few random household items in the supermarket.
There is no gravity in the world when time stops, so Jonathan doesn't have to worry about how to move these things home. Of course, he pays with the white man's wallet, and he has to get back several times the money he made from stealing corn and selling it.
In a world where time stops, Jonathan can even do anything he wants, he can beat anyone, he can take anyone's things, he can have sex with any wife.
But if Jonathan really does this, then human desires are unlimited. Jonathan will go too far and his original character will gradually change. He will become greedy, dark, and... They have to kill wantonly and even develop in a more extreme direction.
If you think about it carefully, does this mean that you have controlled the ability of time? Isn’t this the ability of time to control yourself? Even the original self may become blurry little by little.
