Chapter 13: Diary

I'm concentrating on calculating the numbers on the paper, and it's likely that the sword will go off the rails, and the hidden patterns between the numbers may be extremely simple, but it's hard to think of. As long as you find the right path and doorway, the crack is just around the corner.

The number 6 starts with ...... Why is this happening? These numbers appear in the bardo realm, in order to trap the bardo body, so is it related to Wang Yue herself?

Wang Yue herself...... My mind wandered back to me, reminiscing about the time I spent with her. What I remember the most is that once she had a birthday, she was mysteriously taken to a private room of a hotel after work that day, I thought it was just an ordinary meal, but I didn't expect the lights to suddenly dim, and a waiter came in with a birthday cake. I was shocked and asked if it was her birthday, and she nodded. I sighed and told her, why don't you tell me in advance that I'm ready for a present. Wang Yue took my hand and said softly, Lin Cong, you are my best birthday present.

After that day, I was completely immersed in a sweet feeling, and that was at that time, officially dating Wang Yue.

I shook my head and tried to remember the day, and the day was slowly coming back to me. I looked at the numbers on the paper, suddenly realized, opened the phone to enter Du Niang, wrote the keywords in the search bar, and rummaged through.

Ten minutes later, I breathed a sigh of relief and said to the others in the living room, "You two, I've cracked it." ”

Uncle Zhong and Li Damin looked up at me. Li Damin seemed a little unconvinced: "You cracked it?" ”

I nodded: "Wang Yue was born in 95, she is 24 years old this year, and her birthday is the sixth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. The first 612 was when she was ten years old, that is, on her birthday in 2005, on June 12 on the solar calendar. The second 601 was her birthday when she was eleven years old in 2006, on June 1 of the solar calendar. Extrapolating in turn, the vacant set of numbers is her birthday when she was thirteen years old, that is, the sixth day of the fifth month of May in 2008, June 9, that is, 609. ”

Li Damin looked carefully, patted his head and sighed a few times: "That's really the case." ”

"The answer is simple, it's her Gregorian birthday." I say.

Uncle Zhong said: "Then go back to the room now, I will let you enter, and you tell her the results of the cracking." ”

Suddenly, Li Damin waved his hand: "Wait! ”

We looked at him, and he blinked and said, "I think it's strange, since the answer is Wang Yue's birthday, then as a party she should know better than anyone else, why didn't she crack it herself?" ”

I said, "When I met Wang Yue in the bardo realm just now, she told me that she was also in a state of soul exit there, and because she didn't have the support of her physical body, a lot of her memories and abilities were stripped away. That's why she turned out for help. ”

Li Damin thought about it, seemed to want to say something but didn't say it, and nodded.

The three of us returned to the room, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and after solving the numbers, I was really sleepy, but I was still persevering. Uncle Zhong did it, I re-entered the mirror, this time it was very strange, I didn't hear Wang Yue's recording playing, I walked ten steps forward by feeling, came to the wall, stretched out my hand and touched the groove and bracelet.

"Wang Yue, are you there?" I asked.

"Yes." There was a voice from the other side of the wall.

"I've cracked the numbers," I said, "it's 609." That is, your birthday, the sixth day of May in 2008. ”

"Thirteen years old......," Wang Yue muttered, "I'm thirteen years old." ”

"I don't understand, why don't you even know your birthday?" I asked, "Is there no memory of this in the bardo realm?" ”

Wang Yue seemed to think of something, and was silent for a long time before she said slowly: "Lin Cong, thank you." Come back tomorrow night, go and get some rest. ”

I was about to ask, when I heard a slight footstep from the wall, as if Wang Yue had walked away. I struggled, got out of the mirror, and told Uncle Zhong and Li Damin about the situation. An old man like Uncle Zhong is also a little confused, so he can only talk about it tomorrow night.

It's now more than two o'clock in the middle of the night, I'm sleepy, I just rested on the sofa in the living room of Wang Yue's house, and fell asleep, as for how the two of them solve it, I don't care.

When I woke up, it was more than ten o'clock in the morning, and I slept well without nightmares, but my whole body was uncomfortable. Li Damin woke up very early, saw me get up, and brought a cup of hot water. I swept around, but I didn't see Uncle Zhong, and asked where I went, and Li Damin told me that Uncle Zhong answered his daughter's call early in the morning, left in a hurry, and came back in the evening.

I was a little stunned drinking hot water, but today is fortunately Sunday, and I can rest for a day. If I break through the level in the middle of the night every day in the future, I don't know how long I can last, I am tired from working during the day, and I can't sleep at night to solve puzzles, and no one is iron.

I told Li Damin about this concern, and Li Damin was surprised: "You still want to go to work?" Just take a week's leave, don't you still have annual leave? Your heart is so big, have you ever thought that if you can't survive these seven days, you will end up becoming an idiot. ”

He had a point.

The two of us spent a day at Wang Yue's house, and Li Damin inspected every room with great interest and checked the contents inside, especially Wang Yue's study, where he flipped through almost every book, and forgot to sleep and eat. I wasn't happy that he was doing this, but it didn't stop it, and maybe he could find some clues.

In the evening, Uncle Zhong came back, his face was not good-looking, it may be that he encountered something unpleasant, don't look at his great ability, but every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and he may not be able to deal with those things at home.

Uncle Zhong took us into the bedroom and began to do it, I entered the mirror again, came to the wall, tentatively touched the bracelet with my hand, and said Wang Yue, are you there?

"Yes." Wang Yue reacted immediately.

"You're in the second level?" I asked.

"Yes. I went into a new room, stuck here, and couldn't get out. She said.

I held back the question for a day, and finally asked, "What kind of space do you have there?" One by one? ”

"I can't tell," Wang Yue said, "You don't understand either." To put it simply, it's like a huge labyrinth, with all kinds of spaces, not just rooms, but also outdoors, corridors, underground corridors, secret rooms, palaces, prisons, and so on. ”

My throat rattled, "This is designed?" ”

Wang Yue sighed: "Lin Cong, everything has a creator, not just the realm of the bardo. You and I were not created, and we are all in creation. ”

I shook my head slightly, disappreciating her statement, this question is already a bit philosophical, and I can't say it for a while, so I should hurry up and get down to business, "You tell me, what should I do next?" ”

"This room I'm in, there's a cue switch with a sentence written on it." Her voice suddenly trembled: "That's the key to cracking." ”

I hurriedly asked, what words.

"It says, 'The answers you need, in the people you hate the most,'" she said. ’”

I froze, shortness of breath, and asked what does that mean?

"It's literal." Wang Yue said: "If you want to find the person I hate the most, the answer lies in him!" ”

I asked, confused, "Who is the person you hate the most?" ”

Wang Yue was silent for a moment and said something inexplicable, "Do you want to know what happened when I was thirteen years old?" ”

I blinked quickly, the thirteenth birthday number was the key to cracking the first mechanism. originally thought that after the last level, this matter would be over, why did Wang Yue bring it up again?

Wang Yue said: "Lin Cong, there is a diary in my study, which records what happened when I was thirteen years old, and there is the person I hate the most!" Lin Cong, you remember, there is only one day to find him, and you must tell me the answer tomorrow night. Otherwise, I will be trapped in the secret room of this pass, and I will never be able to get out. ”

Before I could ask, her voice faded away. No matter how much I asked, there was no reply. I only came out with a sullen soul, and Uncle Zhong held a candle in the black smoke and asked me how I was. I told you all about what I had just happened and the conversation with Wang Yue.

"Diary?" Li Damin said beside him: "It seems that there really is such a diary." ”

I hurriedly urged him to bring it. We came outside, Uncle Zhong and I were waiting in the living room, and after a short time, Li Damin came over with a diary. This diary is old, it is stitched on brown paper, and there are some notes and newspaper clippings in it, like some kind of hodgepodge of memories.

"Did you read it? What happened when Wang Yue was thirteen? I asked.

Li Damin smiled bitterly: "When I saw this book during the day, I didn't even see that it was a diary, and after I turned it over, there was no date in it at all, I thought it was an essay." You know, I don't like to see this disease-free moaning thing the most, so I put it back in its place. ”

"If you don't like to watch it, you have to watch it," Uncle Zhong said, "Let's find out what happened to Wang Yue when he was thirteen years old." ”

He sat in the middle of the sofa with his diary, and Li Damin and I sat on either side, he turned the pages one by one, and the three of us read them together. After reading less than ten pages, Uncle Zhong was impatient: "It's too slow to look at it this way." ”

"I have a way." Li Damin took the diary, took out a paper cutter from the drawer, and in front of us, he went down several times, cut the diary into three parts, and cut it all open.

I was furious: "What are you doing?!" ”
