Chapter 10: The Parchment

As soon as I heard that I could visit, I hurriedly got up to see Yin Li. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info came to his bedside and I saw that he was almost all over his body in bandages. When he saw me coming, he asked me if I was okay. I smiled and said, "It's just a few broken ribs, it's much better, but how did you tie it like a mummy." He didn't answer my words, but said with a gloomy face, "You didn't have to save me, I didn't have a few days to live." I looked at him with a frown and said, "Are you going to die tomorrow, and I'm going to treat you as if you're already dead today?!" He didn't say anything more, just tilted his head to look out the window.

I found a stool and sat on the edge of the bed and asked him if he wanted anything to eat, but he ignored me. I saw that he didn't seem to want to say anything to me, and just as I was about to get up and leave, he suddenly turned his head and stopped me and said, "I wanted not to tell you, but I thought about it, since I have already involved you in this matter, it seems unfair to hide something from you, and I have always been very guilty of involving you, but I am also forced to ...... "I heard that if it wasn't for his illness, I really wanted to beat him up, I held back my anger and said: "If you apologize, you will be spared, anyway, you are also trying to do good deeds." But now that everything has happened, tell me everything while you can still speak! ā€

He pondered for a long time and said, "Our box has a name, and my box is called Qi." As the name suggests, its function is to open its own void and other boxes, and your box is sealed, and the function is to seal the ghosts. But if you don't get the power of Qi, you can't fully use the power of sealing, but you have to pay a great price to use the power of Qi, have you ever thought about the connection between this? ā€

Yin Li's words aroused my interest, and I sat back on the stool and frowned, "What you said, I can probably understand, refers to the method of opening the box and the contents of the box, right?" ā€

Yin Li nodded and said, "That's right, the contents of the box are used to seal and eliminate the anger of those resentful ghosts, but this seal is eroding itself, including my box, and only after finally opening the state of becoming one with the void can I make and use something that can restrain ghosts." The soul seal on the stone I saw in Baiyan Village before must be combined with the Void Spirit to be able to make it. ā€

Suddenly, as if I sensed something, I interjected, "When I talk about it, I always feel like there's a link in the connection......

He smiled slightly and said: "This is what I want to say, I also got Yin Li's memory, only then did I know that there are three of these boxes, the first is Qi and the second is sealed, and I don't know the third, my intuition tells me that this third box must be the most critical one, and it is likely to be the key to unlocking the seal, I have been looking for this third box for the first two years but have found nothing so far." I've thought about it before, and it's very likely that the information about this third box is hidden in this second box. ā€

I looked at the sigil on my hand, and it had grown a lot more leaves, and I sighed to myself: maybe I will end up like him. "You can't find the third box with the help of the superior and the vain, let alone me." After saying that, I seemed a little lonely.

When he saw that I had no faith, he comforted me and said, "Don't you have a second box?" The parchment book inside can be used even if it is not combined with the void. At the very least, it slows down the growth of the sigils. In addition, I have learned to look at the face before, I see that your heavenly court is full and square, and you must be rich and noble, and you will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune. ā€

I laughed when I heard him say this, and said, "You said you would look at your face, and when you are discharged from the hospital, we will set up a hexagram stall, and I will collect money for you ...... fortune telling."

After that, we talked and laughed until late at night, and then I said goodbye to him and went back to my room to rest. The next day, I got up and went to Yin Li's hospital room to chat with him and take care of him. After a few days like this, after these days of getting along, I am like a brother to him. It didn't take long for me to be almost fine, so I simply went through the discharge procedures and stayed with Yin Li all day long, and he gradually got better and was able to go to the ground slowly.

But the good times didn't last long, this day I talked to him until the evening as usual, and after dinner, he said that he wanted to go to the roof of the hospital to have a look, to breathe. Although I vaguely felt something in my heart, I still helped him go.

When he came to the rooftop, he looked at the sky that had gradually darkened and said, "I haven't breathed the outside air for a long time." He took a deep breath, and I looked up at the sky and said, "yes, I haven't seen the sky like this for a long time." "Suddenly I felt something strange, and the hand that had been on my shoulder became lighter and lighter.

I subconsciously turned my head to look at his left hand on my shoulder, and I froze. His hands were peeling away piece by piece like broken pieces of glass, and the falling shards turned to dust as soon as they left his body.

I turned my head to look at Yin Li, who didn't seem to feel anything, still looking up at the sky. "Maybe that's what he's paying for." While thinking like this, he continued to accompany him to look at the sky, only to feel that the stars in the sky were brighter at this moment, as if they were welcoming Yin Li who was about to go to the sky.

In this way, neither of them spoke, just watched quietly. Just as I felt his body getting lighter, he turned to me and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, I'm sorry for dragging you into this, I hope you can forgive me for being selfish." I looked at him and nodded, holding back the tears in my eyes, choked up and said two words, "Let's go." ā€

As soon as I finished speaking, half of his body turned into dust in front of my eyes, and drifted in the air with the wind, and in an instant tears came out of my eyes, and I stood there for an unknown amount of time, until it was completely dark......

The next day, I went back to the hotel in Zhenkang County with a heavy heart, packed up the things I had brought with me, and then immediately set off for the city where I had lived. The first thing he did after going back was to hold a funeral for Yin Li, although there was no body and no one came to mourn, he only felt that he should do it.

As soon as everything was done, I began to look around for information about the box, and I searched all the libraries and museums in the city, but there were no clues. As the days passed, the marks on his hands grew bigger and bigger.

On this day, I took out all the relevant things, two boxes, one with a red seal engraved on the inside, which is Yin Li's, and the other with a black seal that is mine, as well as two booklets and a key. I sat on the couch and looked at these things in front of me in a daze, thinking, "I can't do it every day, I can't sit still like this." "I suddenly remembered what Yin Li said before, the parchment book I opened has the effect of delaying the growth of the seal.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned on the computer and searched for supernatural stories, horror stories. "Let's just copy one first, let's save it first." I said to myself as I took the parchment book, and then found a pen and began to copy it.

After a while, I was looking forward to what would happen next, but I was surprised to find that the words I had just copied were disappearing one by one, and the marks on my hand had not changed in the slightest.

"Did I make a mistake?" Thinking about it, I looked at it carefully again, and it wasn't wrong. I thought about it in front of the computer with the tip of my pen in my hand. In a few moments, all the words I had written in the parchment had disappeared without a trace. "Do you have to record a true story?" As I spoke, I looked for several more stories and copied them one by one. But every time I copied the story, as soon as I finished it, it didn't take me more than ten seconds to start disappearing, and after a while, it all disappeared completely.

"It seems that this is true, if the story I write is fictional, then I can't seal the ghost described in the story, because it doesn't exist, so it won't do anything to my seal at all. So how can I meet real ghosts? Naturally, you can see ghosts when you open the void, but it seems that it will cause me great harm, and Lao Yang has warned me not to use it unless I have to. What should I do...... then," I said to myself, lost in thought again.

Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration, and a word flashed through my head: "supernatural games". Thinking about this, I started searching online again.

There are many words such as Disc Fairy, Pen Fairy, Four Corners Game, and so on, and I find that many of them want to try it themselves. I thought to myself, "Since I have to experience real events firsthand now, why don't I go with them, especially if there are a lot of multiplayer games." ā€

Thinking of this, I started reaching out to people who had posted that they wanted to try it, and I found several but no one responded. Just as I was about to turn off my computer, a boy named "Little Boy in the Rye" contacted me and said he was interested in trying it out and asked me when I would start. I replied, "Is there two people who can play?" After a while, he replied: "Pen Fairy" I replied: "Okay, then you can leave your contact information, I will contact you when the time comes, when are you usually free?" He replied: "I'm free these days, my phone number is 13574......" I quickly wrote down his number, and then replied: "Okay, then I'll call you then, go first." With that, I turned off my computer.

I was about to save the number I had just written down on my phone, and I suddenly remembered that the phone had been broken before, and I hadn't used it for a few days, so I forgot it. "Looks like I'm going to have to buy a new phone tomorrow." As he spoke, he threw the broken phone aside.

Seeing that it was getting dark, I was about to take a shower and go to bed, but as soon as I took off my clothes, I was surprised to find that a black mark that was not big or small, like a sprint, had grown on my chest, and I didn't notice it at all.
