Chapter 112: Bathing
What is affection? What is a human being? What exactly is the law of nature? And are scientists people who go along with nature, or are they people who go against nature?
A lot of information slipped into my head, and I didn't digest it until I walked out of Takanagayoshi's hut. Outside, the night was still dark, the moon was gone, and the dim sky was exchanged for countless twinkling stars.
The girl leaned quietly against the wall, and when she saw me scratching her head and looking distressed, she immediately smiled.
"Have all your doubts been solved?" She gently grabbed my arm and asked.
"The secret of the black box is clear. It's just that how to lift the curse, even Mr. Gao Yong doesn't know. "I had my trademark headache look again.
"Take your time, aren't you still alive and well!" The girl comforted softly: "The black box can not only make people immortal, but also magnify the abilities of people with special functions at least a hundred times before their death, maybe you can think of a solution from this aspect." ”
"That's right! It turns out that there is still this clue! Like an electric current passing through my body, I suddenly realized, hugged her slender waist, and turned in circles excitedly.
The girl blushed and let me hold her, and suddenly felt something, she pushed me away violently, and said indifferently: "I'm leaving, these two black boxes will be returned to you." ”
After speaking, he ran into the depths of the forest without looking back.
I froze in bewilderment. When did you offend her? Alas, woman. No wonder some would say that they are all fickle animals.
Why is it that the women around him are either smart and terrible, or they are famous, or they are outrageous in temperament?
Alas, when will God grant me a slightly more normal woman.
It is said that there is a kind of prayer wheel in the Potala Palace in Tibet, and it is necessary for me to go there in the future, and reverently turn it dozens of times to try to see if I can move the Buddha, so that I can end this tragic fate as soon as possible......
I stayed in Takayama City for a few more days, but I couldn't find any other clues, so I took a plane back to Takahashi's house in Osaka.
"You're back!" Yumi led all the subordinates to stand in front of the gate, smiled sweetly at me, and then bowed.
I wasn't used to this kind of scene, so I frowned slightly and asked, "How did you know I was coming back?" ”
Yumi stuck out her tongue, grabbed my arm like a little wife, and said softly, "Don't underestimate the financial resources of the Takahashi family. Even if you get on the outbound plane, I have a way to make that plane circle the Pacific Ocean and then obediently land on the Osaka airport. ”
"Demons!" I had a big headache, and I didn't expect that this word, which had always been hated by others, would be used by myself one day.
"Ah Ye, you must be very tired." Intentionally or unintentionally, she pressed herself against my arm, "Let's go take a shower first." I've already put a change of clothes outside the bath for you, and I'll go and prepare dinner for you now. ”
I silently walked into the bath, took off my clothes, and jumped into the warm water with all my might.
Whew, so comfortable. The whole body is lazy, and the fatigue caused by the constant running in the past few days has been unconsciously reduced a lot.
Gently closing his eyes, his brain began to automatically organize the information about the black box again.
Although Takanagao Yoshichi solved some of my doubts, there were still many things I couldn't understand.
First of all, since Lu Ping and Li Shuren's research has been successful, why did they not make it public in the academic world, but chose to hide in this world and live an ordinary life?
And Lu Ping, that person's behavior was the strangest and most incomprehensible, why did he pose that white pentagram? Since he will not grow old or die, will it be a cover to report that he committed suicide by jumping off a building ten years ago? Maybe he is still lurking somewhere, quietly living through eternal life?
I know from Takanagao Yoshishi that in the thirteenth year of Showa, Li Shu and Lu Ping made a total of three black boxes. Inside, the skulls of Chizuruko Mifune, Ikuko Nagao and Sadako Takahashi are contained.
The black box has a basic ability, that is, it can change the body structure of human beings, as long as there is the right method, ordinary people can also make themselves immortal, and the black box also expands the ability of people with special functions at least a hundred times before their death, but that ability is not something that everyone can control, only some people with strong mental power can induce it, and to use those powers, you have to pay a considerable price.
Maybe it's because some kind of energy in the black box is so strong that everyone who has a black box doesn't end up well......
Suddenly I thought of something, and I immediately stopped all my movements and thought about it with all my might.
I remember that Yumi once said that her great-grandparents once lived in a small fishing village, and when Takanagao Yoshi took Takahashi Sadako away from Dr. Fukurai Tomoyoshi, he was hiding in a small fishing village in Yokohama, and although the surname Takahashi is not rare, it is not a big surname, and if Takayoo really loves his wife, it is not impossible to ask his son to take his mother's surname in order to make his wife happy.
The most important point is that Yumi said that her grandfather and second sister Aii have the ability to predict and can show what happened in a few days on a white paper in the form of words, and Takanagao Yoshi did get a black box containing Takahashi Sadako's skull, and Sadako's superpower can display words on white paper through her mind and her weak prophetic ability, all of which coincide with the Takahashi family.
Could it be that Mitsuo Takahashi is a descendant of Takanagao Yoshishi and Sadako Takahashi?
And Yumi's so-called superpower is the power shown through the black box?
I calmly analyzed it carefully, and finally shook my head lightly. It's not quite right, if Mitsuo Takahashi really had the ability to be a black box, then he should also become an immortal monster, and he wouldn't have become a vegetative person at all, and he was lying pitifully in the hospital until now.
So is it because Takanagao is very aware of the pain that eternal life brings, so he deliberately didn't tell his son, hoping that he wouldn't have to follow in his footsteps? Well, that's quite possible.
Just as I was excited about my new discovery, the door of the bath opened, and in the thick steam, I could only faintly see a slender shadow walking towards me.
"Ah Ye, I'll help you wipe your back." Yumi walked in, and she smiled shyly at me as she stepped into the pool.
