C6 Glyph at the bottom of the container
Fortunately, it was dark and the blood on the equipment wasn't obvious. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain myself.
It was fine to have the Shiseido return it back. After the store, I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. I finally got to sleep for a while until dawn, and had a nightmare of being locked up in a deserted village hotel by a ghost.
With two dark circles under my eyes, I opened the door. Regardless of the state of affairs, I still had to do the business.
I made myself a cup of strong tea and sat at the computer desk. I organized the events of the night before and recorded them in writing on my computer, a habit I had developed many years ago.
The fresh morning breeze blew into the room, the curtains of the military coat were opened, and a young and adorable girl sneaked in.
"Xia Qingzhi, are you not going to class today?" After my train of thoughts was interrupted, I looked at the girl dispiritedly.
"It's still early. I came over to take a look." How about it? Is there any progress on big brother's matter? "
Looking at her red cheeks, I twisted the computer's screen to the side. "Last night, I followed the address in the card and personally went to the Light-Free Road's Underworld Exhibition, and found some traces of your brother. At least for now, I can be sure that you're not lying, your brother really did exist."
"Then... Do you know where he is now? "
"This needs further investigation. I need time." I picked up the egg pancake that the girl was holding. It was a thrilling night, and I could smell the fragrance, causing my stomach to growl.
"Hey!" That's my breakfast! "
"Next time, cut down on lettuce and add more chili peppers …"
After Xia Qingzhi left, I opened the case I brought from the Underworld's exhibition. I wiped off the blood on the live broadcast equipment with a cloth and started to fiddle with it.
There was nothing to see with the camera and the camera, but that Large screen phone caught my attention.
He plugged in the charger and waited for five minutes before starting up. On the nearly eight inch screen, there were only three icons. One was a phone book, one was a mailbox, and the other was a black and white photo of me!
When he clicked on this strange app, a message appeared on the screen: 12 hours and 30 minutes until the quest is released.
"Don't say it, these mountain stronghold equipment's scientific and technological content is quite high." I looked at the digital clock on the wall. It was half past seven in the morning, which meant that the mission to the show would be released at eight tonight.
"At night again?" I seemed to smell a conspiracy, and this time I couldn't just rush over. I had to be prepared.
Taking out my cell phone, I found a familiar number in my contact list.
"Hey, Ergouzi, there's work now."
The sound of a bottle exploding and a woman screaming came from the other side of the phone. After a long time, someone finally answered the phone: "Kang-ge, I'm a bit busy here, so please cut to the chase."
"Sure, Ergou. You even know how to use idioms?" The young man on the other side of the phone was called Chen Ergou, and he was called Ergouzi. He dropped out of school at the age of 14 to become a hoodlum, and three years ago, he received protection fees from my shop. He was tied up by me and electrocuted for half an hour.
In this industry, all sorts of people will come into contact with me. As long as my informants provide information and work for me, I will reward them accordingly.
"I've been investigating a case of a supernatural disappearance. I need you to help me with something that can deal with a spirit body."
"Kang-ge, the police are coming soon. If you want to tell a story, can you wait until night? Draw it up! Go to hell! Hey, Kang-ge, I'm not talking about you! "
"I know that ordinary people find it hard to understand, but this is not a joke. I need you to get me some polished paper talismans or buddhist medallions before it gets dark. The price is fine, but the items must be checked. "" … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
"Brother Gou, the police are here!"
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!" Through the back door! Hello, Kang-ge, I promise you that the items will be delivered! Get lost, you all better remember, from now on, this 3 or 8 year old bathhouse is my territory! "Let's go!"
Listening to the siren on the other end of the line, I could not help but sigh at how nice it was to be young.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, a young man with a bandaged forehead arrived at Chengdu. At the human shop.
His right hand was wrapped in plaster, while his left held an old wooden box.
"Kang-ge, come and inspect the goods." Ergou placed the box on the table and opened it with one hand, revealing the colorful talisman paper and the disorderly magic tools inside. "I don't know what you want either, so I tied up the heaven foretelling Blind Liu, and these things were all found in his house."
"Blind Liu?" Previously, I was warned that I had met him in the police station due to a camera installed in a hotel. That guy was just a scammer …
When I pulled a silver-plated cross and two long strips of garlic out of the box, I was even more sure of myself.
"What is this?" The integration of China and the West? He's been hunting quite a bit. "
Forget it, I don't have much hope now that things have progressed to this point. I can only muster up the courage to sort and organize the talismans in the box and put them in the pockets of my clothes and pants. If Blind Liu is some kind of expert who is hiding in the city, then I will earn big.
"Kang-ge, if there's nothing else, I will be leaving first. Blind Liu is still locked up, I'm afraid that our brothers will hurt that old bones without knowing the severity of the attack. " With that, Ergou picked up the empty box and prepared to leave.
"Wait." The moment Ergou picked up the box, I saw a unique piece of paper.
This piece of talisman paper stuck to the bottom of the chest. Because it had been stuck to the bottom of the chest for too long, the talisman paper had been stuck to the bottom of the chest.
"Kang-ge, this peach wood chest was passed down from my ancestors. Don't try to capture it, otherwise my Blind Liu will fight with me to the death." Ergou stroked the plaster on his arm. "That old bones does have some skills …"
After listening to Ergou, I felt even more convinced that this box was extraordinary.
It was true that the old wooden chest, when placed in front of him, did not smell even the slightest bit of decay. Instead, it had an indescribable charm to it.
"You can take away the box, but I must keep this talisman." I went into the back room to change into the disposable gloves for the autopsy. I carefully removed the piece of paper from the bottom of the box.
It was extremely thin, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made of. However, it was far more resilient than ordinary paper.
"Kang-ge, what's written on it?"
"If I could understand it, I would sell it here. Human items? "
The two of them stared at the calligraphy on the talisman paper and knew that it was Chinese characters, but they did not understand the meaning behind it.
Strangely, just as this talisman was taken off, an unpleasant smell came from the mahogany chest. Knowing that things were not going well, I handed Ergou 50 yuan to return the chest.
When it was dark, I sat quietly at the table, fully armed, looking at the clock on the wall.
"It's eight o'clock!" The Mobile Screen lit up the moment the hour hand passed.
There was no ringtone, no vibration, and no prompting. Under a cold light, an unfamiliar number was called.
"Hey …" The cold fuselage was close to his ear, and all he could hear was the sobbing of a woman. "Who are you looking for?"
The crying stopped, but it was getting closer and closer, as if the woman on the other end of the line was coming out of her cell phone and resting on my shoulder.
"I'm looking for someone." There was not a single trace of emotion in his voice. It was as cold as a lonely tombstone atop an unmarked cemetery.
"I'm sorry, but the store only sells adult products. If you really need them, you can add me on WeChat …" Trembling, I organize my words. In fact, I don't even know what I'm talking about.
"Help me find someone. A few years ago, he hid me under the floor, behind the walls, and on the back of the bathroom bath. Find him, find him!" The voice stopped abruptly, and the phone hung up, leaving me with endless conjectures.
"Has he been dismembered?" Ye Zichen shuddered. At the same time, a text message appeared in the mailbox.
"It's late in the night, and the desire to remain calm is about to burst out. Pick up the phone in the guest room and reply to the ambiguous question. She's actually at the door, waiting for you with bloodshot eyes to call her in …"
"Live broadcast mission: Resting in Anxiang Hotel Room 203 at midnight, surviving until the sun rises."
Looking at the text message on my phone, I didn't have any luck anymore. I knew about the place on the mission. Just three months ago, there was a murder in a small hotel on the outskirts of the city.
