"Ghost City" LLL novella
Fauber walked slowly to the inner room, the door of which was not closed.
Fauber stood in the doorway and looked at us, then walked in.
I went to the door with the sea, only to find that the others had scattered but not come.
The sea seemed to have spotted these and said, "Aren't you coming?" ”
One whispered: "Fubo's place, private people are not allowed to enter." ”
"What's in there?" I thought and said.
"Only important customers know." The man walked away.
I walked slowly with the sea, and the characteristic of a wooden house is that the light from the outside does not shine in without opening the window.
Fauber turned on the lamp on the side, and the faint light shone on the workbench.
I was able to see the inside of the room clearly, and it wasn't a big place.
The interior of the room is very plainly decorated, but there are many small tools on the table.
From screwdrivers to magnifying glasses, from cleaning cloths to alcohol lamps. Fauber slowly sat down on the workbench next to him, then stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the things." ”
The sea handed over the watch in his hand.
"What do you want me to do?" Fauber said.
"You said you repaired the needle of this watch before, right, can you tell me about the process?" The sea said.
Fu Bo opened it and took a look, nodded and said, "This watch is the one I repaired for Pang Guang before." ”
"It's good to tell you about the process, what does this watch look like when it's first opened." The sea said.
"You don't say I've forgotten, there was something strange about this watch when it was first opened. Of course, Pang Guang only asked me to repair it at that time, so I didn't tell him. Fauber said.
"What's strange?" I asked immediately.
"At that time, Pang Guang came to me with this watch and asked me a lot of questions, I can't remember. I remember being shocked when I opened it, and there were a lot of strange things tattooed on the inside of the whole case. In other words, the invisible watch is the watch of the early years, and there is no need to make these useless designs. Fauber picked up his tools and began to disassemble the watch.
The sea said: "Useless design. ”
Fauber did not answer the sea, put the eyepiece into his eye, and carefully disassembled the gold watch in his hand.
Slowly, he opened a little gap and said, "It's useless to say more, I'll open it and you'll understand." ”
The black layer inside the gold watch was completely pried open in half by Fauber.
Fauber put the movement down, took the back cover and said, "Look at this." ”
"What's wrong?" The sea said puzzled.
Fauber put down the eyepiece on his face and handed it to the sea and said, "If you put this thing on your eyes, you can see more closely." ”
The sea clipped one to the eye, looked at it for a moment, and handed me the magnifying glass with a long mouth.
I picked it up and looked at it, and I was startled, the whole black circle was gray with black figures.
"These?" I said.
"I don't know why. This table looks like some vintage, and it really doesn't look like a fake. But is this step really redundant, I was also shocked when I first opened it. Fauber said.
The sea leaned against my head and whispered, "These people are lifelike, and do you remember Pang Guang's appearance?" ”
"A big bald head with a long sideways?" I said, and the appearance of Pang Guang immediately appeared in my mind.
The sea pointed to a corner of the shell and said, "Look at this dark shadow again." ”
I looked towards the sea and saw something that sent chills down my back.
The black shadow that the sea refers to is exactly the same as Pang Guang.
"And I don't know if I'm mistaken, these black figures seem to be a lot more than when they were opened before." Fauber said puzzled.
I immediately changed the subject, pointed to the dial and said, "So how did you fix your hands?" ”
Fauber pointed to a display wall on the side wall and said, "I dismantled a pocket watch of about the same size and replaced it, and Pang Guang took it back after the watch was repaired." If you hadn't brought it over and asked about it, I wouldn't have been able to remember it. ”
The sea put it in my ear again and said, "Fauber said that there are more dark shadows, and I think the extra ones are the entire Pang family." ”
When I heard the words of the sea, I couldn't stop shivering.
"By the way, there are some differences in this table." Fauber said.
"What's the difference?" I said puzzled.
"The inside of the watch is very fine, and it seems to have been polished by hand." Fauber said.
"Aren't all pocket watches like this?" The sea said.
"It's very old craftsmanship, and it's not quite the same as today's pocket watches. But as long as it is a pocket watch, it generally has a payment, at least a time, place, and production date. But there's nothing on this table, and I suspect that maybe it's going to look different. The gold on the outside is artificially plated. But the thing is panggy, and I'm embarrassed to say it's even more embarrassing to scratch it off. Fauber said.
"You mean this shell was added later?" I said.
"Quite possibly, gilded." Fauber said.
"So I'll leave it to you now, can you get out of the way?" The sea said.
Fauber nodded his head and said, "An hour." ”
"We'll wait for you, you get out of the way." The sea said.
Fauber reached out to me, and I gave Fauber the eyepiece.
Fauber put the eyepiece back on the gold watch, took out the stalker and began to polish it.
The sea said on the side: "Fauber, can you use pen and paper here?" ”
Fauber nodded his head and said, "You can use whatever you want here,"
The sea looked at me with a smile and said, "Didn't you say that you still remember the appearance of the old grandmother?" ”
I nodded.
"Let's draw it." The sea said.
"Are you sure I want to draw?" I said.
"If you don't paint, will I paint?" The sea said.
I moved the table aside and painted, and the sea looked at it and said, "The nose is high." ”
"How do you know?" I said puzzled.
"Wasn't I next to you at the time? I'm seeing it too. The sea said.
"Then let me draw?" I said.
"Because I can't draw." The sea said.
But I don't have much talent for drawing. After a full hour, the scribbling and alteration were sixty percent similar.
Of course, this sixty percent acquaintance refers to the similarity with sixty percent of people, and it can barely be seen that it looks like a grandmother.
The sea took a picture on the side and said: "I am in charge of the ghost market now, and I can pay more or less attention to the south side when I say it." ”
I nodded my head and said, "It's good to find it." ”
Fauber said on the side: "I've taken care of the table." ”
The sea and I immediately walked over.
At this time, the watch was pitch black, and Fauber pointed to the dial and said, "The words have been scratched a little by me, and I can't see the place of origin, but there is a date on it." You look at 1463, you know? The world's first pocket watch was made in 1462, and this one represents a real antique. ”
I was a little surprised by the sea.
Fauber took the front of the watch and said, "This front pattern is terrible. ”
I was chilled with the sea again, and I had eyes all the way to the front.
Fauber didn't pick the surface clean, but the outline of the whole eye was already very clear.
The eyes are open, and it is extremely terrifying.
"In those days, there were still these?" The sea said.
"Foreign things, I don't know this history." Fauber said, shaking his head.
The sea measured his head and said, "What to do with this thing?" ”
I pulled a few sheets of paper from the side of me, wrapped the watch and kicked it back into my pocket.
"How?" The sea said.
I pointed to the door and said, "Let's get out of here and check the information." Or wait on the black market and see if you find the granny. ”
