Chapter 54: The Hidden Necklace
Twilight and Shikazawa decided to continue cracking the secrets of the map, Shikazawa observed for a long time, took out the map of the Otaku Academy from his waist, and after spreading it out and compared, Shikazawa pointed to a few places: "The totem is obviously much more detailed than the map of the Otaku Academy, but unfortunately none of it is the same as the Otaku Academy." This totem map is not part of the game world. ”
Twilight thought as she thought, "This must be a map of the real world, a clue to my parents." ”
After discussing with Shikazawa, Twilight decided to go offline to decrypt the totem.
Twilight and Shikazawa shuttle back and forth between the two worlds, and their brains are slightly tired, so when Twilight wakes up from the life support pod, her head is groggy and her face is pale.
Since the paper on which the totem was drawn cannot be brought into the real world, Twilight prepares to redraw a copy.
Lu Ze watched Twilight pick up the pen, then snatched the pen from her hand and gently touched the computer screen with her hand: "I will enter it into the computer later, and I will deal with it." ”
Twilight waved her hand helplessly and sat on the sofa, her eyelids naturally fighting, and she curled up on the sofa and soon fell asleep.
Lu Ze's memory is superb, the totem is perfectly drawn, and the simple plane figure floats in the air.
Lu Ze immediately called up the 3D stereoscopic map of the city from 17 years ago, and compared and excluded it over and over again.
Shikazawa suddenly realized something, and when he turned around, he saw Twilight sleeping quietly on the couch, her thick eyelashes trembling with her breathing.
Lu Ze frowned slightly, walked to the locker and took out a blanket to cover Twilight, his movements extremely gently.
After many analogies, the map on the totem finally coincided with the location of the western suburbs of the city, and the meaning of those dense lines of unequal thickness was different, so the analogy was particularly eye-consuming.
Before I knew it, it was late at night, and Lu Ze's stomach suddenly "gurgled"
sounded, Lu Ze rubbed it helplessly, glanced at Twilight again, took his coat and went out.
Since it was the middle of the night, many restaurants were closed.
It didn't take long for Lu Ze to reluctantly choose some vegetables and return to the villa, and began to cook them in the kitchen on the first floor.
After a while, all four dishes with color and flavor were ready, and pork rib soup was specially made.
Shikazawa brings all the food to the underground base, Twilight is still asleep, and Shikazawa carries the food, ready to wake Twilight.
Twilight seemed to smell the smell of the food, and her eyes opened in vain, only to see Shikazawa's outstretched hand in mid-air.
Lu Ze immediately retracted his hand and pretended not to know, "When you wake up, let's eat." ”
Twilight didn't expect to fall asleep, and the moment she woke up, she saw that she was covered with a blanket.
Her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she already knew what Lu Ze had done.
Shikazawa's indifference has always made Twilight think that he is a cold-blooded and ruthless person, but the more time she gets along, she discovers that Shikazawa is as careful as dust, something is quietly changing, and even less and less hatred for him.
Twilight's stomach growled and hurriedly sat down on a chair to eat, "It's going to be hard to order takeout at this late hour, right?" ”
Shikazawa didn't speak, eating slowly.
Twilight savours these delicacies, which are more delicious than they usually are, even though they are home-cooked.
"This restaurant is really delicious."
I sandwiched a piece of fried white lotus and ate it with satisfaction.
Because the two of them stayed in the survival pod for a long time, although they were able to maintain basic nutrition, their desire for fullness was never satisfied.
It was probably the best meal Twilight ever had.
When Twilight returned to the kitchen, she saw the traces of passivity and instantly understood that the meal was made by Shikazawa, and her heart couldn't help but warm, but why did he admit that the restaurant made it?
Twilight washed the plate with doubts and returned to the underground base, where she saw Shikazawa sitting in front of the computer, spitting for a long time, since he had the intention to lie, then don't expose him, "Have you found out the specific location of the map?" ”
Lu Ze deliberately overlapped the totem with the area found out, and the acquaintance was 99 percent.
Lu Ze pointed to the villa, "This place should be the place indicated in the map, I have investigated the owner of this villa, not surnamed Mo, but an ordinary businessman who was originally in business." ”
Twilight bit her lip, "Anyway, if it's not me, I'm going to have to find it." ”
After the two of them decided, they immediately set off towards the west of the city.
Twilight didn't say anything along the way, and she figured she couldn't go wrong this time.
Lu Ze drove to the suburbs in a sports car, the surrounding scenery was no longer the same as it was seventeen years ago, and the road had changed because of it, but the villa had been preserved, otherwise it would have been a useless clue.
The car was driven into the only road leading to the villa, and Shikazawa drove in the night with the night light on, and the dense fog could not see the road ahead at all.
It didn't take long for a villa full of creepers to appear in front of me, in an old style, and the courtyard was piled up with a lot of fallen leaves, and it was uninhabited at first glance.
Shikazawa walked to the door, opened the door with high technology, and the moment he pushed the door in, he was greeted with dust.
Shikazawa turned on the lights in the room, and the lights from the first to the third floors were all on, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on all the furniture.
Twilight covered her mouth and nose, "How do you find such a big villa?" ”
Lu Ze held a flashlight in one hand and pointed to the huge photo frame in the living room, "Doctor Yue once said, the photo album is what we are looking for in the end. ”
Shikazawa walked over to the picture frame in the hall, and he tapped it lightly with his hand, "The back is not empty. ”
Twilight walks upstairs, stepping on the creaking wooden staircase, the old lights dim, as if in the Middle Ages, Twilight pushes through room after room, looking around, photo albums, photo frames all rummaging, the characters on it can't bring back any memories of Twilight.
Twilight and Shikazawa go to the third floor together, there is a utility room, and there are two empty rooms, empty, not to mention photo frames or albums, not even extra paper.
"How can there be nothing? Are we missing something? ”
Twilight finds it incredible, the first two clues are all found according to Dr. Moon's prompts, but the last one falls short.
Disappointed, she ran downstairs and found her again and again.
Lu Ze stood on the stairs on the third floor, the photo frame in the hall was facing Lu Ze, Lu Ze stared at it for a long time, the flat picture scroll refracted the light, although the surface of the album was glass, at most it reflected the human figure.
Shikazawa slowly descended downstairs, "Twilight, maybe we were looking in the wrong direction in the first place. ”
Twilight followed Shikazawa's gaze and looked at the figure in the portrait, it was just a simple oil painting, the girl facing the wind looked into the distance, she was dressed exquisitely, her eyes were full of hope, and the sun was setting in the distance, and she didn't understand the meaning of the painting at all.
Shikazawa stood on the fireplace and took off the half-human-tall picture frame, "Smash the glass on the frame." ”
Twilight picked up the ornament on the table and smashed it against the frame, "Bang-"
All the glass shattered in response.
Lu Ze stroked the scroll with his hand, "The texture of the oil painting is three-dimensional, its oiliness disappears with time, and it lacks reflectivity. But this one can refract light. If you look closely at the sunset, it represents the twilight years, but it also represents the memories of the past. ”
Twilight seemed to understand what Doctor Moon said, and soon, Shikazawa's hand touched the girl's neck, he picked up a piece of glass, cut it, and the pieces of oil paintings peeled off like hard lumps, and Shikazawa pulled it with his hand, and a delicate necklace appeared in Shikazawa's hand.
Lu Ze looked at the necklace carefully, "This should be a relic left by your parents." ”
Twilight's eyes widened in surprise, "Why are the relics left to me by my parents so complicated?" ”
Twilight took the necklace from Shikazawa's hand, the delicate leaf shape, glowing green in the light.
Lined with light, there seems to be a shadow on the inside of the leaf.
Twilight dropped the necklace in front of Shikazawa's eyes, "There's something in this necklace." ”
Twilight tries to open the necklace, but she tugs harder, only to find that there is a port connected to the necklace.
"How can this be?"
Lu Ze took the necklace, "Wait until you go back to the base." ”
Lu Ze frowned, "Doctor Yue seems to know too many secrets, his memory has not been lost, and he also knows your background. Someday, you will have to face him and get the answer you want most. ”
Twilight doesn't speak, staring blankly at the necklace, trying not to shatter the last of her illusions.
In the process of searching for the photo album, Shikazawa tries to find clues about Twilight's parents, this villa is too clean, and there are few signs of life, and the rest of the photos are just landscape photos.
Once again, the clue is broken, and the only person who knows the truth is Dr. Tsuki, who Twilight hates the most.
Twilight didn't speak all the way, her heart had already connected her parents with Dr. Tsuki, and suddenly, Twilight couldn't accept the fact that Dr. Tsuki, who had an affair with the murderer, could be any better?
After Twilight and Shikazawa left for a long time, Dr. Moon came to the villa, he opened the door with the key, turned on the light, and looked at the footprints back and forth in the villa, "It seems that someone has been here." ”
Dr. Yue looked at two pairs of footprints of different sizes on the floor, looked around, and saw that the glass on the surface of the picture frame hanging in the center of the living room had been shattered.
Doctor Yue smiled slightly, "It seems that the kid finally found here." ”
Then he left the villa.
…… Lu Ze, who returned to the base, hurriedly linked the port of the necklace to the computer, and the moment he plugged it in, the computer screen suddenly dimmed.
Then the words "Annai Continent" jumped into front of me, but unfortunately it quickly disappeared.
The computer goes into a state of death, and Twilight sees this scene completely unexpectedly, and the necklace left behind by her parents is also related to Senluo Technology.
completely coped with her previous speculation, and her parents were a member of Senluo Technology.
Shikazawa finally linked the port of the necklace to the game, and there was no bad conflict on the screen of the computer screen, and after Shikazawa checked it, he found that the port of the necklace was running.
Shikazawa tells Twilight to return to the game world immediately, when the sky is just dawning, revealing the white of the fish's belly, and the time in the game world is the same as the time in the real world.
After Twilight appears in the game world, she discovers that an identical necklace appears around her neck.
Twilight frowned in confusion, why did her parents leave a necklace?
