Chapter Four
"Huhu~It's okay~, if I didn't think something was going to happen, let Mr. Yu rush back early, you stupid human would really have an accident. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info"The ten-year-old little ghost, with white hair and white eyes, came out from behind Boss Yu and squatted in front of me with a bounce.
Who is this little ghost? I choked on the water and felt very uncomfortable, and I sat on the boat for a long time without relieving myself.
The boat began to slowly approach, and a man and a woman who looked like ghosts were ready to get off the boat. Boss Yu calmly went ashore without saying a word, and didn't even give me a single look. The white-haired imp reached out and pulled me, and said to me with a smile, "My name is Baizi." I also work here with my husband. ”
"Sir?"
"Mr. Jade. That's what we all call him. "Bai Zi led me ashore, and I inevitably passed through the body of the man in Tsing Yi again. I felt a chill, but Shirako still smiled as if she didn't feel any effect, and even her eyes turned into crescents. "You can call him that, you can call it that."
"Oh. Okay. "I'm still very uncomfortable walking through ghost-like unidentified forms. He only responded absentmindedly to Bai Zi's words.
And Bai Zi seemed to see what I was thinking, and while pulling me to follow Boss Yu, he said, "Don't worry, these two are not ghosts." They're just shadows, just images. ”
"Imagery?" Our pace is fast, but we are always some distance away from Boss Yu.
"Yes, saving the projection of the original person and releasing it when needed is the basic purpose of Si Ci Fan." Bai Zi's face was taken for granted, but I didn't know that I was confused.
"That...... Baizi, what is Si Ci Fen......"
"You don't know?!" Bai Zi instantly had a frightened expression on his face, "Didn't Mr. Yu tell you anything?" ”
Nonsense, if that facial paralysis had told me anything in advance, I would still be stupid and not know what was going on...... I silently complained in my heart, and looked at Bai Zi with a cute look on the surface: "I don't know." Boss Jade...... Mr. Yu just said let me see the shop. ”
"Hey...... Mr. Yu is really ......" Bai Zi was helpless, slapped his palm on his forehead, and rolled his eyes. "Then I won't tell you."
"Huh?! …… Feed! "I was about to express my displeasure with this little ghost, but he pulled me and ran.
"You're too slow!" Bai Zi ran faster and faster, and I was pulled by him and staggered, barely able to keep up. But he seemed to be splinting, even if it was so fast that it made me feel like my legs were jogging. "If we continue like this, we won't be able to catch up with Mr."
"How could it be. Jade...... Sir, he's just walking in front ......! I glanced ahead again, and was about to burst out of my throat when I was suddenly blocked. Because I saw that Mr. Yu was already far away from me and Baizi. All I could see was a looming white back, about to be out of my sight.
He ...... Mr. Yu, how could he be so fast? "I couldn't believe my eyes, Mr. Yu was obviously just walking in a leisurely manner, how could he be so much faster than us.
"It's so troublesome, no wonder that guy doesn't want to come. Could it be that Mr. Cheng does this every time? Bai Zi also saw Mr. Yu who was already in the distance, pouted helplessly, and then grabbed me before I had time to react and rushed out.
I was grabbed by the white child's arm, and my feet did not touch the ground, like a kite being flown by the white child in the high-speed forward. The strong wind made it impossible for me to speak, let alone think about the series of bizarre events that happened today. I can only do my best to maintain a little blurry vision. Then I saw the faint white light emanating from Shirako's body, and the neatly arranged black-framed white squares that appeared at my feet at some point.
By the time I was able to see my side again, I was standing in front of Mr. Yu without any discomfort. I was standing in a small room with wooden floors and walls. There was a small table in the middle of the room, and Mr. Yu was looking at something at the table. Bai Zi squatted on a chair in one corner of the room, staring at what Mr. Yu was holding in his hand as if bored.
"Come here." Mr. Yu didn't raise his head, and this sentence seemed to greet me.
I moved over slowly with some hesitation, and saw that what Mr. Qing Yu was holding in his hand was the fan I had "sold" to Gu Qiange.
I felt a little messy. I was on the night shift and helped Mr. Yu look after the store, and I met a girl buyer named Gu Qiange. I was very dedicated to selling things the way the boss said, and then when I opened the items with Asa Ge, I somehow came to an even more inexplicable place, and was saved by the boss who shouldn't have appeared. After that, he was pulled by a strange child and ran at superhuman speed......
"You ......"
"Can any of you explain to me what this is all about?" I couldn't help myself and interrupted Mr. Yu. Everything that has happened so far has left me with questions, fear and anger. I don't know why, but I don't think I can just let things go like this.
"You don't know?" Mr. Yu seemed to be a little surprised, looked up at me intently, and looked me a little frightened.
Finally, it was a long time before he said, "Baizi." Interpretation. ”
“…… I knew ......" the white-haired child crouching in a chair muttered, his face full of reluctance. He beckoned to me, then pointed to a chair that had just been added to him, "Come here, listen to a story, and get through this time." When it happens this time, as long as you promise not to tell the story, we won't force you to leave if you want to, and we will give you a month's salary. ”
Looking at Bai Zi's appearance, I can understand why the original people who worked in Yuyuan felt that the work was too hard and gave up this job. It's not that they don't feel tired from work, but that they have encountered something weird like me.
Thinking so, I sat down next to Shirako, and Shirako began his explanation.
"Mainly because of this fan. Do you remember what I told you about this fan? ”
"What kind of magnetic powder?"
"It's Si Ci Fan. The mercy of mercy. That's not wrong for you to understand it that way, after all, it has something to do with magnets. Shirako reached into his pocket and pulled out a packet of dark golden powder. Well, this is it. It's a very common thing to use to save images, and it's a bit like a video recorder. However, it is quite complicated to use, and now it is directly with the camera. ”
“…… Well. This thing is very common...... "I stared at the bag in Shiroko's hand that I had never seen before.
"Oh, I forgot. Si Ci powder is an uncommon thing for humans. But Si Ci Fan was created by you humans. Those who were called alchemists in the ancient times you are talking about. But it's because of them that the rest of humanity doesn't know anything about it. ”
"Baizi, aren't you human." I swallowed and felt a little cold all of a sudden.
"Come on, there are not many people in this world. Now for the main topic. In short, the fan surface of this fan is mixed with a large amount of Si Ci powder, recording some images from thousands of years ago. And the trigger conditions for these images should have been fulfilled now, so they will be released. ”
"But if it's an image, why can I touch the lake and almost drown? It doesn't feel right here, I don't feel like this is a jade garden anymore. "I still don't feel right, if it's just an image, Bai Zi pulled me so far just now and would have crashed into the wall of the Jade Garden.
"Of course not. If it's just Si Ci powder, how can it be sold in the Jade Garden. "Bai Zi looked smug and I just wanted to slap him in the face." The real value of that fan is in the fan bone. Each fan bone is a charm, and the owner of this fan should be a very powerful refiner, and the function of his fan is to 'self-contained'. ”
"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes...... What is self-contained? "I couldn't help but look at the fan that Mr. Yu held in his hand. Mr. Yu was still looking at the fan intently, so focused that it made me think that if the fan was alive, it would definitely fly up and slap him and call him a hooligan or something.
"Tsk, why don't you ask me what the spell is?"
"Don't look at me so earthy, I've also read fantasy novels!" Am I being looked down upon by non-humans?
"Then you should know about the space magic weapon. It's also a space that's different from the outside world. It's just that it's relatively small and there is no change of day and night and seasons, and it's not as high-end as in the novel. ”
"So, we're stuck here now?"
"How could it be. In the face of this kind of inferior weapon, which doesn't even have a machine spirit, I can destroy it in minutes. Bai Zi's face was full of disdain.
I really can't communicate with such a child...... Who just praised others for their awesomeness?
"Then why don't we go out now?" I asked him with open eyes. I don't want to figure out anything anymore, I just want to go back and get out of this hellish place.
"Because this thing is no longer Yuyuan's......"
"Huh?!"
"You have sold it, which means that it has a Lord. I don't have the right to break it anymore. ”
“…… What are you kidding......"
"No kidding. Otherwise, we would have gone out long ago. ”
"......" Bai Zi looked serious and was also very unflat. So what should we do? ”
"Go find Gu Qiange." Mr. Yu's voice suddenly sounded, startling me a lot.
"Asa Song is here too? Why didn't I see her? Do you know where she is? ”
"That girl must be here, after all, she is the trigger for all this. As for where she was, Mr. had spent so much time just now and was not in a daze. Shirako suddenly laughed, and his eyes turned into two curved lines. It's not bad to come out once in a while. It's been a long time since I've encountered something so fun. ”
