When I woke up again, it was noon, and I sat in bed, probably asleep for a long time, as tired as if I had just finished a long journey. I STARED AT THE PENDULUM CLOCK TI-TOK ON THE WALL...... TI-TOK...... Suddenly, I was shocked, yes, it was this pendulum clock. I looked around the room again, yes, it was these things, it was this bed. In a trance, I felt time slowly flowing on the palm of my shoulder for the first time since I came here for some reason.

By the way, I have to find my uncle first! I have remembered a very important thing, and I have all the evidence that I have been here! I have to ask him to confirm it, so that he can know that I am not wrong.

I hurriedly put on my shoes and a light coat, and as soon as I straightened up and walked out the door, my eyes resting on the mirror next to the door. Is it really me who is in the mirror? Her expression has a lot of vicissitudes, her eyes are sunken and hollow, and her lips are dry and broken...... When did I become like this? No, I don't care about this for now, it's more important to find my uncle first.

I picked up the blanket that I had thrown on the floor, the one my uncle had covered me in the car, threw him back on the bed, and then opened the door as fast as I could. Yes, that's right, I slept in a compartment and I walked to the top of the stairs as fast as I could. On the wall at the corner of the staircase hangs an oil painting depicting a purple-gray butterfly and a naked maiden with her wings spread out in front of her, and the maiden hugging the butterfly with open arms. That's right, it's this painting.

"Uncle, uncle, are you there, where are you?" I shouted as I went downstairs.

"Uncle?" In a blink of an eye, I had already gone down to the first floor, and I walked around the first floor, but I didn't find the uncle.

Uncle is not on the first floor, then he may be upstairs or on the roof, quick, go up and look for it. I held on to the stairs with one hand and ran up the stairs with one foot, and it didn't take me half a minute to get upstairs. I stood in front of the door leading to the rooftop, and for some reason, I suddenly felt a little excited and a little scared in my heart, excited that what I saw in front of me was really in my mind, and I was afraid that I would lose it again in an instant. There's a voice in my heart telling me to open it, and I'm desperate to confirm that I've been here.

I put my hands on the doorknobs, and I took a deep breath and pushed them away with all my might. The blazing sunlight pierced into the house, and it pierced my body, and it pierced all my internal organs. I squinted my eyes and looked vaguely at the scene outside. My heart has been praying, uncle, you must be here.

"Uncle, uncle, are you there?" I slowly walked out of the rooftop.

Please, uncle, answer me!

"Huh~ girl, are you awake?!" There are two chairs and a table in the center of the rooftop, and the chair on the right hand side slowly turns, and the uncle is sitting on it.

Great, he's on the rooftop. The dazzling white light gradually dissipated, and the uncle's figure became clear little by little in the dazzling light. When my uncle saw me, he closed the book in his hand, stood up and walked towards me.

"yes! I ...... I'm awake!"

"It's good to be awake, it's good to be awake, how are you feeling?

"No, I feel good, I just shouted that you were thirsty. ”

"Thirsty, that's easy, come, come, come and sit, there is water and a glass on the table. ”

I almost jumped over, picked a transparent water cup and filled it with water, and poured it down, I was so thirsty. The coolness of this glass of water spread from the stomach to the whole body at once, and all the tiredness and fear were drunk in one go. Quenching my thirst made me feel real once again. I believe that there is no feeling in the world that can be compared to the feeling of moisturizing the throat and moisturizing the whole body, the water in the mouth activates every cell in the body, and the depleted body is rejuvenated, like the birth of life. However, how did the water stay so cool and delicious in full sunlight?

"Girl, drink slowly! Also, you've just woken up, so don't run around, don't make yourself faint again! I don't want to see you fainting again, it's scary." Alas, but now that you're awake, I can finally get some rest!"

"Uncle, you wait...... I want to tell you something!"

"Little girl, don't tell me anything yet, I'll tell you first, you've passed out for a few days, and I haven't closed my eyes for a few days and nights!

"Uncle, how many days have I passed out?!"

"yes, you've been passing out for a few days!"

"I've been passing out for a few days?!"

"Oh, a few days, not much, just three days. ”

"Three days? I've been in a coma for three days. ”

"Three days is not too much, in our town, three days and three nights of sleep is a short time. If I hadn't taken care of you, I would have slept for fourteen or fifteen days before I was ready to go out shopping next time. ”

"Fourteen or fifteen days??"

The uncle stretched and yawned greatly. The uncle's elegant and energetic expression in the sun immediately turned into a tired and drowsy slump.

"Since you're awake too, and see that you should be able to take care of yourself, I'll go to sleep. ”

"Hey, wait a minute, uncle, I'm going to confirm one thing to you. I ran up to my uncle and stopped him as he continued to the door.

"Ouch, there's anything to confirm, I'll talk about it when I wake up. ”

"Confirm myself...... I've been here!

"Yo, little girl, you are so interesting, have you been to my house? girl, for more than 20 years, I have lived alone in this house. Well, when did you sneak up on my house?"

"Oops, it wasn't sneaky, anyway, I have a way to confirm it. ”

"Okay, you say, how do you confirm it? ”

The uncle was interested, and his eyes revealed a little curiosity, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he must have really disbelieved me in his heart, and was ready to laugh and hit me. But I knew that after only a few minutes, his look of shock and disbelief must have been rare in a century.

"Uncle, you can listen up, the staircase wall facing the door of the room on the next floor, the third to seventh planks counted from the right......"

"What!!" "Look! I'm not so surprised by what I said that my eyebrows are about to pop out!

"There's a ...... in there Ay...... What are you doing?"

Before I could finish what it was, my uncle was already covering my mouth, pushing me into the house, and then kicking the door shut. There was no light in the room, and it was dark, and he pushed me against the wall, and I clung to it, not daring to move for a moment, while he wandered in front of me step by step, surely shocked by what I had said. I touched the switch on the wall, and with a click, the light came on. I watched my uncle walk around, he turned to face me, and then I realized that his face was not full of shock and disbelief, but fear, and I could clearly see that his forehead, nose, and neck were in a cold sweat. He approached me step by step, his eyes were bloodshot like two big red dates, he wanted to ask something, but he seemed to be afraid of something, he didn't dare to say, so he took two steps back. With his head bowed and his waist crossed, a drop of sweat the size of a bean fell vertically from the tip of his nose, and the sound of a click continued to echo in this small space.

I was stunned, I didn't guess that my uncle would react like this. But in my sleepy dream, the staircase wall facing the door of the room on the next floor, counting from the third to the seventh planks from the right, could be disassembled, and inside was a dark compartment that was not very large, and the secret compartment was not a ......

"How do you know?" he said, his voice trembling slightly.

"Because I've been here, this confirms that I've been. ”

"No! that doesn't confirm that you've been here!!" he pounded his fist against the wall in excitation.

"If I hadn't been here, how would I have known there was something hidden in this house. ”

"I'm telling you, I don't know who sent you!!, but get out of here!!Don't let me see you again!!"

Uncle was shocked and unbelievable, what was hidden there was so nerve-wracking! He took two steps away and motioned for me to leave, but just as I was about to take a step forward, he pushed me back. My back slammed against the wall and it hurt.

"No, no, no, you can't go!yes! you can't go!!"

The uncle seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were full of fear and despair, he grabbed my hand tightly, and the tighter he grasped it, the more he didn't let me go, and he didn't consider my feelings at all, and dragged me downstairs while saying in pieces: Can't go! Can't go! Can't go......

In the blink of an eye, we were already on the next floor, and my uncle threw me into the room so hard that I fell to the ground. He locked the door, looked around, crouched down, and stared at me without saying a word. I rubbed my wrist as he pulled and looked at him angrily. The four eyes were facing each other, and there seemed to be an electric light colliding between the eyes of the two people, and neither of them would admit defeat to anyone.

"Who the hell are you, what are you trying to do?" he roared.

"What do I want? I don't even know why I'm here, what can I do!" I said, shaking my head helplessly.

"Heh! you'd better tell me the truth!" he pointed at me, his eyes full of ferocity and murder.

"I'm telling the truth! I'm sure I've been here! Isn't that enough from what I've told you?"

"How do I know you didn't pretend to pass out and then search for it without my knowledge. ”

"I ...... I'm pretending to faint? Please, uncle, aren't you a doctor? Can't tell if I'm really faint or fake?"

"Doctor, they sent you!What are you trying to do!" he roared as he grabbed me by the neck and pushed me to the ground.

"Uncle, you let go of me, you pinch me...... Neck...... Why...... I'm downstairs...... I saw a lab coat in a drawer!and a pair of stethoscopes!!" I broke his hands hard and stared at him incredulously.

"Hehe, self-proclaimed cleverness! It seems to be similar to that guy, and it is really a faction. ”

"Please...... Uncle! I did wake up not long ago! I knew there was something hidden...... Because when I passed out, I was blurred...... I had a dream! I remembered something. ”

I staggered to my feet, took a breath, and continued.

"Listen to me first! I remembered the past, although it was only a small fragment, but I can be sure that those fragments are real, I have been here, I have seen the dark grid open with my own eyes!"

"No one! No one in the world knows where it is except me!"

"Uncle, you calm down first, I know you don't necessarily believe what I say, but you listen to me first, and then decide whether to believe it or not when I finish speaking, okay?"

He was still emotional, walking up and down in front of me with his hands on his waist.

"Seriously, I don't know why I came back here, it's like a broken memory, all I can remember is from the moment you woke me up, uncle. But just as I passed out, I saw a lot of things related to me. ”

He still ignored me, turned his back to me, and didn't want to hear anything from me. I looked at his back, took a deep breath, and said seriously.

"By the way, the most important thing I remember is that I have a Joan in my name. ”

"Joan, do you remember?" he turned his head, his eyes wide.

"yes, and the one I said I was looking for, I remembered. ”

"What?"
