Chapter Twenty-Four: Three Things
"Click!"
The box was opened, and a strong sense of immediacy began to come over me.
The box was covered with a soft cloth, but there were only three things on it.
a letter about the size of a tape; A piece of disc software that I don't know what it is; A ring engraved with a strange pattern.
After thinking about it for about three minutes, Feng Xue finally realized where she had seen this picture-
"Am I golden? (╯°Dish°)╯┻━┻! ”
At this moment, Feng Xue suddenly became empty, did she want to stage a play "The Story of the Young Man in Green Looking for His Father" (1)?
Feng Xue hesitated for a moment, but still opened the letter, the letter was very wrinkled, and the words on it were also fluctuating, it seemed that it was not very stable when writing the letter, and after carefully confirming that there was no secret code left on it with folds or folding angles, Feng Xue shook the letter paper and began to read-
"I'm very busy now, so I don't have time to talk nonsense, in short, the reason why I put the 'key' with your classmate is because this thing must not be obtained by people in the inner world, and in the surface world, there are not many people I can trust, but your classmate should be good, anyway, you Lao Tzu and I don't mind if you marry her, killer is a high-risk profession, you must stay early, after all, our Feng family is the only one left, you are the only seedling...... (This is followed by a long list of forced marriage words)"
"I'm rubbing, don't you talk nonsense? Do you think that if you don't write it in the format of the letter, it's not called nonsense? Feng Xue resisted the urge to shred the letter and continued to read.
"Okay, with all that said, it's time to get down to business." Writing this, a large section of the letter paper suddenly went blank, Feng Xue took out the commonly used reagents and dotted them on it, and sure enough, a line of small words appeared-
"I'm just a dividing line, nothing to hide."
"I'm a!" Feng Xue's face suddenly stiffened, and he suddenly felt that his cheap dad had suddenly changed from the devil coach in his previous memory to a tease.
"About that ring, it's a test for you, if you can find out where it came from, then you will naturally understand what I want to say, but if you can't find out, then don't let anyone know that this ring is in your hand, anyone!"
"It's finally a bit dry...... Seeing this, Feng Xue's eyes couldn't help but turn to the ring in the box, which looked like it was neither gold nor silver, nor had any features, except for a bunch of inexplicable patterns, there was also an artistic mirror text, which seemed to be something that could be used as a seal.
Feng Xue took out a piece of soft clay for copying the key, pressed the ring on it, and after careful identification, she found that the text turned out to be the word "Feng".
"Could it be that the so-called Feng family is still a powerful clan with some historical origins? It's like the Xiao family who broke the sky? Feng Xue put the ring back in the box and continued to read, there was still a disc left in the box, it couldn't be a killer game (2), right?
"Put away the things in the box, if you really can't find a way to use them, just take them to the black market and sell them, the things are worth at least more than 200 million, don't sell them cheaply."
"Two hundred million?" Feng Xue looked at the black ball the size of a volleyball after leaving the box, and showed a strange expression on his face, although the cheap dad said that this thing was worth 200 million, but he didn't have any intention of selling it, or he didn't dare to go to the black market, even in the memory of his predecessor, the black market everywhere was a beast that devoured life.
Carefully stuffing the black ball into the dark compartment under the bed, Feng Xue turned her gaze to the last page of the letter.
There was no text on this page, and there were no ciphers left in ciphered ink, and the total added up was only about thirty words—
"That's all I have to say, ah, by the way, that disc is a music CD, listen to it if you can, and I wish you a good dream."
At this point, the letter ends.
But this did not answer Feng Xue's doubts, but made him even more confused.
"Music CDs? What about liars, right? Feng Xue pursed her lips, and finally put the disc on the bookshelf first, which looked no different from the other CDs there.
His instinct told him that there must be something wrong with the disc left by this unreliable old man.
But now is not the time to study it, because Feng Xue's whole mind is now on this ring.
"Where the hell have I seen this?" Feng Xue rubbed his head vigorously, although it was unusually familiar, he couldn't find the slightest trace after rummaging through the memories of his predecessor.
It's almost impossible.
You know, the memory of the predecessor is like an encyclopedia for him, as long as you enter keywords, as long as there is a database, you can find anything harmonious or discordant.
But at this moment, there was no news of this ring in the memory of his predecessor, which made him quite frightened.
Could it be that the memories of the predecessor are beginning to fade away?
No, it's not.
Feng Xue tried to think about other memories, and found that even the picture of the predecessor breastfeeding when she was just born could be adjusted, and I have to say that the mother of the predecessor was indeed a beauty...... Ahem!
In short, it's not a matter of memory, then......
Is it your own memory?
Could it be the peripherals of some anime or game in a previous life?
For example, Berserker's Creed (3) or something?
Wait, when it comes to memory......
Feng Xue suddenly thought of something, and pulled out a lump of paper from the bedside table in the bedroom.
After unfolding it, I couldn't help but smile with a strange meaning on my face.
"Good author, you actually went into this kind of pit...... No wonder I don't want to open the box now......" Feng Xue pinched the key mold soft clay a few times until she couldn't see the pattern at all, and then walked out of the room with the paper ball.
"Chi Sakura, come on!" Feng Xue shouted downstairs.
"What?" Ike Sakura has become more and more like a real maid lately, and her favorite thing to do when she has nothing to do is to walk around the room with a broom or a feather duster to eliminate the dust that has been found, and if anything, she is probably missing a formulaic smirk on her face.
"Do you know this thing?" Feng Xue handed the paper ball in her hand to Chi Ying.
Taking the paper ball, Chi Sakura didn't doubt that he had his unfolding, and then—
Her face instantly lost its blood, and the feather duster in her hand fell to the ground, if Feng Xue hadn't grabbed it, I am afraid that the whole person would have fallen to the ground softly!
"Why...... Why do you have this thing? Ike Sakura's expressionless face was occupied by confusion and doubt at this moment, and with it, there was a fear that had never appeared even if she was on the verge of death, and her trembling voice made her show a pitiful sense of weakness.
"Answer me first, what is this?" Feng Xue's eyes stared at Chi Ying's eyes without any deviation, as if she wanted to take in all the changes in her.
Note (1): refers to "Full-time Hunter", the protagonist Xiaojie is dressed in green and goes to the end of the world, just to find his unreliable father, and the clue left by his father is only a box, which is a message tape, a ring and a game software.
Note (2): Here is a hunter-only game called "Island of Greed", which is also a combination of a piece of software and a ring.
Note (3): Refers to the game "Assassin's Creed", the origin of this meme is because many rookie players will only rush to the target like a berserker when playing the game, and do not look like assassins at all.
