DAY 68 Find the "Treasure"
I dodged the indiscriminate attacks of Mom and Dad's squinting eyes, and pulled the box out of the stone platform.
This box is only the size of the palm of your hand. I hid in a safe corner far away from "Mom and Dad" and opened the box carefully, and immediately some white cold air came out of the cracks that were opened, like opening a small freezer that had been frozen for a long time.
When the cold air cleared, I found a syringe on the broken ice at the bottom of the box, which was frozen with some strange-colored liquid and glowing green in the dark.
Without considering why the ice would not melt in this box for so long, it is enough to wonder what the suspicious liquid in the needle tube that was deliberately hidden in such a hidden place is used for.
I hurriedly took out the syringe and hid it in the cuff, then took out the film that I had put in my pocket and hurriedly stuffed it into the wooden box.
As soon as he finished these actions, "Dad" happened to regain a little eyesight, and when he saw me holding the wooden box in his hand, he hurriedly snatched it.
"Mom" immediately checked the stone platform that I had broken open with corrosives and active enzymes, and immediately let out a scream of anger when she found that the contents had already been snatched away.
"Dad" hurriedly handed the snatched wooden box to "Mom", and glared at me fiercely by the way.
After "Mom" took the wooden box, she looked back and forth, as if she had grasped the situation, calmed down, and immediately looked at me coldly: "I really didn't expect that I was almost plotted by you...... You want to steal the treasure from us?! So those you said before were all farts!! β
I shook my head innocently: "No, without me, you can't get the stone platform open, can you?" I'm here to help you, but I'm going to make sure that what's inside isn't going to hurt my real mom or dad...... As I said, this is the only premise before I can help you do anything. β
"Oh?" "Mom" evoked a mocking smile, raised her hand and shook the wooden box, which made a "Ding Ling Dang" sound, "So have you confirmed?" What's in it? β
I shook my head, pretending to be sorry: "Not yet, just a little bit...... I should have increased the dose of anti-wolf spray a little earlier. β
"Dad" immediately showed an extremely angry expression, and rushed over to hit me, but was stopped by "Mom" with a wave of his hand.
"Oh, I haven't confirmed you're standing there so quietly now?" "Mom" looked incredulous, shook her hand and opened the wooden box, lowered her eyelashes and glanced in.
"Well, because it takes some time to confirm that thing...... But just a box of film shouldn't do much harm to my parents. I spread my hands and smiled peacefully.
"Mom" snorted from her nose, took out the film I had dropped in the wooden box, moved her thumb and forefinger, and wondered: "Why is this box of film still warm even though there is ice next to it?" β¦β¦ You dropped the bag?! β
Groove cake! I secretly screamed badly - I didn't expect "Mommy" to feel so keen! Hurriedly rolled his eyes, and replied, "How do I know...... Maybe the film itself will emit some kind of heat, so you need to cool it down from the outside, otherwise why put ice next to it? β¦β¦ Originally, the film cartridge didn't need to be chilled......"
"Dad" immediately stepped forward with a face full of anger: "Phew! What a crooked reasoning, it's true that the film cartridge doesn't need to be chilled in the first place, so you must have dropped the bag! Still talking here, you look at what you say, you can't make any sense of! β
I shrugged my shoulders indifferently: "Then you're going to search your body?" I didn't even have a bag, where can I get it...... You said I had to be prepared in advance to drop the bag, where can I get you a film cartridge to drop in that case? It's hard to buy something as old as a film case now, let alone take it with me at any time, so I don't have that interest......"
"Dad" seemed to hesitate a little: because in his memory, his daughter, that is, me, really had no interest in photography, film, or anything.
"Mom" also shook her head, turned her head to "Dad" and said, "No, there is not enough time now, we have to leave some time to escape." β
"Dad" snorted unwillingly: "Maybe this island will collapse because she lied and made it up." β
"Mom" glanced at me coldly: "If it is, I will tear her on the spot." β
I pursed my lips and rolled my eyes: "Hey, I'm here too, can you whisper a little quieter." β
"Mom" ignored me, pulled out the film in the film box and looked at it, and after half a ring, her eyes lit up with excitement: "She didn't lie to us, this is the 'that' thing we were looking for!" β
What the? My heart is tight, did I do the wrong thing? Did I just accidentally hand over something terrible??
I thought it was just a photo of the government doing something bad? β¦β¦ Looking at the excited expressions of the two of them now, it doesn't seem to be?
I asked hesitantly, "Huh...... Take the liberty of excuse me, what's in there? β
"Mom" looked at me with some smug and contemptuous eyes, and said, "It's something you'll regret giving us later." β
I did start to regret hearing this...... Is there a way to get it back now?
Before I could figure out a way to get it back, the floor shook violently, and the whole island began to tilt.
"Quick! The island is collapsing, get out of here!! I immediately screamed, grabbed the two of them and rushed in the direction of the intersection where they had come and gone.
Soon I was at the statue outside, the island was tilted at an angle of nearly 45 degrees, and it was difficult to get out of the tunnel on the other side of the statue, so I had to go back the way I had come - although it would be a little harder to walk in comparison.
Fortunately, with the help of this 45-degree angle, we were soon able to climb up the originally vertical stone wall and carefully slide in the direction of the aerial walkway below. But just as we were about to approach the walkway, suddenly the island shook violently, and the walkway on this side was broken. The three of us were almost shaken out, too.
"What to do?!" Mom and Dad started to panic and looked at me for the first time.
I was also a little anxious: time was running out, the island was about to collapse, the walkway was broken, and the walkway on the other side was made extremely difficult to walk because of the tilt of the islandβI guess the island had fallen before I got there. Are we really destined to be planted here today?!
