Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mystery Envelope

I didn't say anything all the way, I returned home with a nervous mood, and as soon as I entered the house, I saw Hu Fang still lying on the sofa and sleeping soundly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In order not to wake her, I took Li Zhisheng to my bedroom, closed the door and said to him, "Look at this. "Saying that, I will hold the "Divine Sutra" in my hand? The Nine Stars Atlas was handed to him.

Li Zhisheng hesitated for a moment and took the book I handed him, he took the book and looked back and forth, frowned and said, "Isn't this the one I showed you before?" How is it in your hands? I didn't answer him, but motioned for him to see for himself.

He took the book and looked at it, and at first he didn't feel anything unusual, but when he turned a few pages, a look of unease gradually appeared on his face. "This was found in the exhibition hall?" He asked me as he read it carefully. I took out the booklet from my desk drawer that I had used to record ghosts, and said to him in deep thought, "The Dead Apostle gave it to me, and he told me that what I am doing now is exactly what the author of this book was doing before it was written. ”

After hearing this, Li Zhisheng asked me in surprise: "You mean Dongfang Shuo?" I nodded and said, "Well, if this statement is true, then the ancient dictionalist should have suffered the same thing as me." "How did he know......" Li Zhisheng seemed to want to say how the curator knew what I was doing, but he stopped in the middle of speaking.

I walked up to him with the booklet and looked sideways, and sure enough, it was because he saw the nine-star chart. "According to the Dead Apostles, this is the full version." As I spoke, I wanted to compare the booklet in my hand with the material of the "Divine Sutra".

Who knew that Li Zhisheng snatched the booklet in my hand, and I panicked, because I was afraid that he would also be engraved, so I wanted to reach out and take it back. But he raised his hand in front of me, and said with a smile: "No wonder, no wonder...... I was taken aback by his action, and hurriedly took two steps back.

I stepped back to my desk, reaching behind my back and fumbling around my back, trying to hold on to something to defend myself in case something might happen. But Li Zhisheng regained his previous composure, he closed the book, turned his head and said to me: "I checked a lot of information about the 'Divine Strange Sutra' and Dongfang Shuo before, but all of them said that his book is very absurd, and now I finally understand. ”

I saw that Li Zhisheng didn't seem to be anything unusual, maybe it was just because he figured it out and was too excited, so I relaxed my vigilance and said to him: "Fuck your uncle, scare me, I thought something was wrong with you." What do you understand, say it quickly?! ”

Li Zhisheng also knew that he was out of shape, coughed twice, cleared his throat and said: "Originally, I thought that this "Divine Sutra" was just an absurd novel, but later I combined it with strange techniques to interpret it, and I only discovered a small amount of mystery behind this text, but now I finally know, it turns out that he has been engraved with the same mark as you. Given some special mission, the real mystery of this book may be that he wrote a novel to prevent it from happening again in the future, so that it could be passed on to the world. And what he recorded on the surface may be the ghost he sealed. ”

It seems that Li Zhisheng and I thought of going together, and the purpose of I taking out the booklet was also to compare the materials of the two. But now I'm more worried about whether Li Zhisheng will be imprinted, thinking of this, I anxiously asked: "Do you feel anything strange in your body now?!" He was also a little overwhelmed by what I said, and looked at his hands.

After carefully confirming that it was okay, I took my booklet from his hand and said, "In the future, you can talk well, and don't rob other people's things at every turn." I said as I put away the booklet in my hand. Just then, I suddenly heard the sound of the door closing outside. I glanced at Li Zhisheng, thinking that Hu Fang should have woken up, so I opened the door and went out.

As soon as I opened the bedroom door, I saw Hu Fang standing in the door with a brown envelope in her hand. "You're awake." I opened my mouth and said, Hu Fang raised the envelope in his hand and said, "Well, I heard someone knocking on the door just now, but I opened the door but no one ...... found this on the ground" "It's strange why I didn't hear the knock, is it because I was talking to Li Zhisheng with the door closed just now?" With that in mind, I walked over and took the envelope.

It's not like a small advertisement that's being distributed around, because it's not your average double-sided tape envelope, it's sealed with red fire paint. The pattern of the fire paint turned out to be the nine-star map, but nothing was written except for the fire paint on the seal.

"Don't you see what's inside?" Hu Fang asked curiously, and then Li Zhisheng, who came forward, also echoed: "Since there is a nine-star map printed on it, it must have nothing to do with you, open it and take a look." ”

I turned to sit down on the couch in the living room and said, "I won't have to open it without you telling me." As I spoke, I picked up the fruit knife on the table and picked up the fire paint, which contained a white piece of paper wrapped in a red cardboard card. It was written in black letters: "The third box is with me." ”

These sudden words caught my eyes, and I was immediately shocked. Li Zhisheng saw that my expression was a little wrong, so he asked, "What did you write?" I flipped the card over and pointed at him, and Li Zhisheng read it out word by word. He was also shocked after reading it, and looked at Hu Fang and the others.

"Nothing else?" Li Zhisheng asked again. I looked at the white paper wrapped in the card, and wrote an address in red letters. "There's an address......" I said. Hu Fang said worriedly: "Do you want us to accompany you to have a look?" ”

I thought to myself, "Since he mentioned the third box, he must have come for me." I will definitely go, but if any accident happens, I am afraid that I will ......" Thinking of this, I said to them, "I have marks and vanity on me, at least I am safer than you, so I will go by myself." ”

Li Zhisheng nodded in agreement, while Hu Fang said with a sad face: "Then you must inform us if you have anything." I nodded yes.

After that, seeing that it was still early, I got up and went out the door thinking that I would go back quickly. Along the way, I was inevitably a little uneasy and anxious, and I thought to myself, "Since the person who sent this letter knows my address, he must have been paying attention to me for some time." But why didn't he tell me at this time that he had a third box, and that he was so mysterious, there must be something strange about it. ”

Just thinking about it, the taxi stopped near a vegetable market, because I rarely come to this area, so I don't know if it's here, I just showed the address to the driver before getting on the bus. Before getting out of the car, I double-checked with the driver whether it was here. The driver said to me firmly: "I have been running a taxi for more than ten years, and I can't be wrong with the wrong navigation." "I couldn't say anything more when I heard him so sure, but I thanked the driver and gave the car money and got out of the car.

Standing on the side of the road, I looked around and looked at the address written on the paper, "No. 13, South Lane, Fuzhou Road". If that driver didn't lead the wrong way, this should be Fuzhou Road South Lane, but where is No. 13.

I went into the market and asked the vendors, but I didn't know how many I asked. Some said they didn't know, and some even said that there was no thirteenth at all. Finally, I finally learned from a grocery shopping lady, she said: "No. 13 is likely to be the previous house number, and now due to the reform, many house numbers have been replaced, and the original No. 13 is an old tube building opposite." ”

I looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, there was an old building on the other side of the road. I thanked my aunt and walked towards the building. It was an old-fashioned residential building that looked a bit like the early days of liberation, and for some reason it has not been demolished until now. The walls are overgrown with creepers, and since it is late autumn, the leaves have almost fallen off, and only yellowing vines are scattered all over the wall, which looks a little desolate.

As soon as I walked to the front of the building, I noticed a light blue door number that read Thirteen hanging next to the door of a family. It may be because of the years, and the metal door plate has long been covered with iron filings. Since there was only one nail nailed to the wall, the wind swayed as soon as it blew through the door number, making a "creaking" sound.

"I guess this is it." I said to myself, tentatively raising my hand to knock on the door as I spoke. Just as my hand touched the old wooden door, the door creaked open. As the wooden door opened, a lot of dust peeled off the door frame, and I choked and coughed.

I guess no one had been to the house for a long time, and by the sunlight shining through the doorway, I saw a thick layer of ash piled up on the inside of the house, and there was nothing in the middle of the room except an old wooden table.

I tentatively shouted, "Hello? Anyone? Seeing that no one responded, I tiptoed into the house, feeling like a thief had just broken into a house, for fear that someone would suddenly appear.

But in the next few minutes, I felt that my worries were unnecessary. Because I found that there was a very clear line of footprints on the ground where I had walked, but there was no trace of anyone in the room except for my footprints.

That's when my eyes were drawn to a table in the middle of the room. Because the light coming in from the doorway was very limited, only a red round object could be faintly seen on the table.

Driven by curiosity, I approached the old-fashioned wooden table. The red thing was right in the middle of the table, as if to tell me that it was waiting for me.

Standing in front of the table, I bent down slightly to take a closer look, and it turned out to be another envelope. The brown envelope melted with the dust on the table, so much so that only the bright red fire paint on the envelope could be seen.

I carefully picked up the envelope, and the moment I picked it up, my whole body froze as if it had been struck by lightning. "The room was covered in dust, but the envelope was clean, as good as new, and there was no sign of anyone since I entered. Who put this envelope here, and how did he manage to leave no trace? Thinking of this, a chill chilled from my head to the soles of my feet.
