Chapter 204: The Box
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, no matter what you do, if you do more, you will get used to it, and habits will make progress.
Long before he began to cross, when he was still on Earth, although he had lived for many years, except for the death of his loved ones, there were very few opportunities to touch the corpse with his own eyes, let alone touch the corpse with his hands.
This kind of thing is sour just thinking about it.
However, since even something that only happens in a novel can fall on your head, it doesn't seem like a big deal to touch the corpse by chance.
At this time, Gong Bing recalled the confusion and loss when he first came to this world.
Failed, exiled, and hopeless to return home......
Although the original home is not a warm place, it is said that a thousand things and ten thousand, that place is the source of one's birth after all.
Fragments of memories emerge before my eyes, swept by a whirlwind.
And in this whirlwind of fragments, a flash of purple suddenly flashed, and a familiar face came into view again.
Qi Zihan ......
I am here......
What about you?
Where are you?
Because the smell of the room was so great, Lola couldn't stay for a moment, and soon retreated, and she went to another room, and opened all the windows and curtains, and felt better.
When she returned to the door of the study, Lola found Gong Bing still struggling with the corpse, which was staring intently at the corpse.
"Hey, look at your affectionate eyes, is that guy your long-lost relative?"
"I said you were addicted to touching corpses, right, I just touched one last night, and now I touch another one."
"I said, why don't we go downstairs to the warehouse, I don't think there might be other good stuff in there."
Lola leaned against the door and looked at Gong Bing, first teasing, then complaining, and finally persuading.
However, Gong Bing turned a deaf ear to her, and even turned her head.
Just as Lola pouted, Gong Bing beckoned to her.
"What?" Lola pinched her nose and reluctantly walked over.
"See what this is?" Gong Bing threw a dice-sized, yellowish white object over.
"Huh? Ah, what the hell, a tooth? Lola took it and screamed, "Hell, what are you giving me this thing for, we're different, I don't have any weird corpse fetishes." ”
Seeing that you dared to arrange me just now, looking at Lola's frightened appearance, the corners of Gong Bing's mouth raised.
"Look at it the other way around, and notice the bottom."
According to Gong Bing's words, Lola turned the bottom of the tooth over, this big tooth is very special, the lower half is no different from ordinary teeth, but there is a thin incision, and a small metal key is tightly clamped in the inlay at this time.
Lola's eyes widened, and she looked up at Gong Bing, who nodded at her.
Then, with the force of her grip on the tooth, the tooth broke in half, and the key inside fell out.
"It's a lot of strength." Gong Bing picked up the key from the ground while boasting, the big teeth were hard and small, but they were not easy to focus on.
"I feel like I have teeth when I look at this thing, this guy usually eats with this tooth?" Lola threw away the tooth fragments, and somewhere she found a clothespin, which she was using to hold her nose.
"Teeth? Maybe yes or maybe not, but besides this one, he has a lot of teeth that can be used to eat, right? It's not bad this one. Gong Bing wiped the key with a handkerchief, and then took it in his hand and played with it.
"Where the hell did you get this tooth out? You've found things hiding in places like this. ”
"Where else could it be? It came out of his mouth. Gong Bing rightfully pointed to the grocery store owner's mouth, whose festering mouth was emitting a foul stench.
The silver key is very delicately made, and after holding it in his hand, Gong Bing found that it was still folded, and after opening and splicing it together, it was about two bars as long as the tail finger.
"Okay, okay, no matter where it's hidden, things are finally getting interesting now." Lola looked at Gong Bing who stood up, her eyes were bright: "Since there is a key, there must be something waiting to be opened, let's hurry up and look in the house." ”
"Of course, then what are you waiting for, let's get moving."
Since there is a key, the lock that belongs to this key may also be in the house, and the two thought that it would not take much time, but this search turned out to be dark.
"Whew~ It's really not easy to find this thing." Lola sat down at the kitchen table, rubbed her head, and said.
"Who would have thought that guy would hide something inside the wall of the bathroom." Gong Bing sighed.
The two of them almost rummaged through both floors of the grocery store, and just as they were about to give up, Lola accidentally slipped her head and hit the wall when she walked into the bathroom to prepare something, only to find the box hidden in the wall behind the tiles.
The size of the box matched the key, only the size of Gong Bing's half-slap, and the plain wooden shell did not have many patterns, except for an eye-like pattern carved on the upward side.
When I opened it with a key, there was not much inside, just a humanoid wood carving and some yellowed paper manuscripts.
The humanoid wood carving was crudely made, and only a woman in slim clothes could only be identified, with neat short hair just reaching her shoulders, her waist straight, and her head raised as if looking into the distance.
The woman's appearance was blurry, but it gave Gong Bing a sense of déjà vu.
The answer seems to be right in front of him, but when the name comes to his mouth, he says it anyway, like a layer of paper covering him, it seems very thin, but if he doesn't pierce it, he will never remember.
There was an abbreviation of the name at the bottom of the wood carving, and Gong Bing recognized it, it seemed to be the abbreviation of the grocery store owner, but this guy was obviously not proficient in this way, so he would be so amateurish.
The woman in the statue seems to be very important to the boss, which is why she is treasured and hidden in the wall.
The other manuscripts are not the same paper, and the years can be seen according to the degree of yellowing, and although Gong Bing can't confirm the specific year, it is at least measured in ten years.
The older manuscript seems to be the missing piece of the ancient book, with a compact font and a small line spacing, and records Gorg Feldmann's exploration of the ruins of the Rodi Gorge.
The ruins are inhabited by terrifying beasts and strange savages, with the former being elusive and the latter always appearing in groups of three or five.
There are also some magical creatures that live in it, but most of them are in unimaginable danger.
Finally, the manuscript also mentions that there are traces of the existence of the Agura civilization in the ruins, but the content of this part is vague, and Feldman seems to have some scruples, so he does not want to say more, and only briefly mentions it in the manuscript.
But this part is what Gong Bing wants to know the most.
Now, if you want to know more, you have to find out for yourself.
However, neither the ancient books nor the manuscripts of this time mention the specific location of the ruins.
It is important to know that Rodi Canyon is not as simple as a canyon, but refers to a combination of entire canyons and mountains.
On the map, the area of Rodi Canyon is almost the size of three Tutláns.
It is a desert of civilization where forests and rivers are crisscrossed, mountains and valleys are dense, and there are few people there, as if they have escaped from the mortal world.
Finding the location of the ruins is not a simple matter, and it is not something that can be done in a moment, so even if he wants to know more about the Agoura civilization, Gong Bing can't do anything for the time being.
What's more, the martial arts competition is coming, in order to be able to get the opportunity to use the Perception Stone, Gong Bing has to go all out, and he can't find time to make such a long trip.
Suppressing his inner impulse for the time being, Gong Bing put Feldman's manuscript down and picked up the other manuscript that remained.
The grocery store is not only located on the edge of Green Town, but even in the most desolate corner of the edge, there is not even a neighbor nearby, unless he needs to hide himself in order to avoid the attention of others, Gong Bing really can't think of a reason to set up the store here.
Want to do business? It's all to him.
So at the end of the day, there were very few sounds of passers-by walking and talking outside the house.
But at this moment, in the silent twilight, there was a sudden noise outside the house.
It seems that it is a coincidence that someone is coming to visit the grocery store at this time, which means that Gong Bing and Lola will have guests to receive.
