Chapter 14: The Black Box
It is said that there is no wind in the whole house, and the candles should burn more and more, but the evil thing is that the candlelight gradually weakens, and even finally becomes the size of a soybean.
I didn't know what was going on, so I hurried over and thought of a way to get the candle back lit.
But suddenly, the candle exploded with a thud, and the whole flame was extinguished. Without this candlelight, the whole room was darkened a lot in an instant, and Panzi and I were both frightened.
Pan Zi didn't have the heart to comb his hair, so he stood up in fright.
Lu Yufeng was not too afraid, when the candle burst, he hurriedly extinguished the talisman, and then took out a flashlight and shone it in front of the bronze mirror.
He also asked us both to come over and have a look. Just now, I had been thinking about the self-explosion of the candle in my heart, so I didn't pay attention to the bronze mirror, and when I was reminded by Lu Yufeng, I took a look at the mirror, and I almost opened my mouth in surprise on the spot.
On the frame above the mirror, a stream of blood was suddenly left, and this blood was particularly "strong", lying along the mirror until the bottom.
The whole mirror was originally nothing, but as soon as it was set off by this vertical blood, the terrifying atmosphere became a lot thicker.
On the way to Suiyuan Village, Pan Zi and I saw the stone stele, and at that time it also spewed out a stream of red water, and I wondered in my heart, could it be that there are any plants growing in the mirror? Is this blood the juice of plants?
But think about it, this analysis is not quite right, if there is really a plant growing in the frame, then it will not survive, this is not like a stone monument, next to the soil underneath.
Pan Zi asked Lu Yufeng, what happened just now. Lu Yufeng didn't answer, his whole mind was not on talking now, he just stared at the bronze mirror.
I have a lock-picking thing around my waist, and Lu Yufeng also has things hidden around my waist, but they are all gadgets, mini screwdrivers, and the like.
He looked at the bronze mirror for a while, then took out a small screwdriver and pried it back at the frame.
The two of us wanted to go over and help, after all, the frame looked quite sturdy, and he was a little busy doing it alone.
But we were intent to help, but he didn't let us get started, and he deliberately turned his back to us and pried there on his own.
I can say it in my heart, so let's just wait.
It is estimated that after touching half a cigarette, the frame card sounded, and the whole fell off the mirror, Lu Yufeng looked very happy, and said that it was done.
I found something strange in the bronze mirror, the frame came off, revealing a flat black box behind the mirror.
The box is only a few millimeters thick, but it is quite large, almost as wide as the mirror, Lu Yufeng took out a cautious look, pulled the mirror aside, and then put his face in front of the black box, fanned the wind with his hand, and sniffed it gently.
Just his actions reminded me of chemistry class, when the teacher smelled the chemical reagent, he was so fanned that he was afraid that he would inhale too much cold and poison people.
I said in my heart, is Lu Yufeng afraid that this black box is poisonous?
I looked at Lu Yufeng's expression, he was originally very vigilant, but then took out a look of indifference, and used a screwdriver to pry the black box open.
As soon as I opened it, I saw that it was full of small notes, densely stuffed. I guess this thing must be greasy, it should be the "ghost" that Lu Yufeng said.
Pan Zi and I took the initiative to come over, and this time Lu Yufeng did not avoid the two of us, he shone all the flashlights on these notes and flipped through them one by one.
Each note had a paragraph on it, and a date attached to it, the furthest I could see was five years ago, and the most recent was a few months.
I read the details again, but what puzzled me was that it didn't look like a cat at all, but more like a kind of prose.
For example, "For the sake of love, you have to give up something, what do you choose?" "That's the kind of thing you want. Panzi was similar to what I thought, and he couldn't help but smile, feeling bored.
Lu Yufeng glanced at the two of us, he looked very serious, and collected these notes.
This is also a patient job, I see that he still didn't let me and Pan Zi interfere, so I made a look at Pan Zi, and we didn't bother him.
In the end, he folded these notes into a pile and stuffed them all into his pocket, and beckoned us to tidy up the scene, in fact, the room was not so messy, that is, to assemble the bronze mirror, which was quite troublesome.
When we were done, he took the lead, and we all got out of the house and went back to where we lived.
After this period of buffering, I have a little aftertaste in my heart, I think of a saying, that is, the text password, I suspect that the note records are all words, either hidden poems, jumping words and the like, or invisible fonts, but Ah Feng treats that pile of notes as treasures, and it is impossible to borrow them from us again.
Lu Yufeng chatted with us casually again, and we went to sleep.
It's almost dawn, I guess when we wake up, won't we have to go at noon the next day?
But at about ten o'clock in the morning, Liu Hui knocked on the door to find me and Pan Zi and asked why we didn't go to class. I was so tired and confused that I forgot about the trainee teacher.
I beckoned Pan Zi to get up in a hurry, and I also looked at Lu Yufeng's bed by the way, his bed was empty, this man was in good spirits, it is estimated that he got up early to sell goods, after all, his external identity is a small commodity dealer.
Liu Hui criticized us, just saying that our internship attitude was not good, and Pan Zi and I were at a loss, so we nodded and admitted our mistakes. When she was relieved, she took us to school again.
We met Lu Yufeng halfway, this guy was sitting on a street, with a big cloth spread in front of him, and all the things to be sold were put on the table, and his business was good, and there were really many villagers coming around, picking this and that.
After seeing us, Lu Yufeng stopped the two of us in a loud voice, and he also stood up and ran over.
Liu Hui looked at Lu Yufeng's eyes wrong, but he didn't say much, Lu Yufeng ignored Liu Hui, and said to me, "Xiaobai, I know that you are a teacher, for the sake of the friendship of roommates, I will give you a pen." ”
After saying that, he handed over the pen. But when I heard this, I wondered in my heart, my heart said that it was not right, my name is Du Rui, and there is no white word in my name, why does he call me Xiaobai?
During my confusion, he forced the pen into my hand and made a small gesture to sneak a scratch on the back of my hand.
I'm quite sensitive, because I feel it, he's warning me that there must be something wrong with that pen.
Liu Hui was still next to us, so I didn't ask much, and I didn't even show any expression, I said thank you to him, and continued to walk with Liu Hui.
In the morning, it was still a math class, and Liu Hui was still talking, she just took advantage of the recess to bring us over, and I couldn't help if I didn't listen, so I had to sit in the back and listen to the class.
But while Liu Hui was lecturing, I studied this pen. It was a ballpoint pen, and when I unscrewed it, I found a note inside.
I read it secretly, and there was only one sentence on it, asking me and Pan Zi to find an opportunity to pry open the drawer of Liu Hui's desk and check the information inside.
This is the rhythm of letting the two of us be thieves again, but I don't think there's anything, doing tasks to dig up clues, not a little sneaky behavior, just if it's fair, then it's still a fart.
As soon as I summed it up, Liu Hui happened to be lecturing now, and it was definitely a good time to pry her drawer at this time, so I pretended to have a stomachache, covered my stomach and stood up and walked out.
I don't think there's anything wrong with this move, but when she passed Liu Hui, she deliberately emphasized, "Come back quickly." ”
I can say it in my heart, and I was still urged to "go to the toilet".
I thought of Pan Zi again, he was still in the office, let him do this, although he was not as good at picking locks as I was, but a drawer could not stop him.
I hurriedly ran over, Pan Zi was preparing for class with the big long face, I found that the expressions of these two people were not right, Pan Zi needless to say, let him memorize the Chinese textbook, a painful face, and the painful expression of the big long face was no worse than Pan Zi.
Think about it, just Pan Zi, if you want to make him into a material, that is not something that ordinary people can do.
I didn't go in, so I waved at the window to Pan Zi, Pan Zi was very clever, and knew that I was in trouble, so he made an excuse to come out.
I talked to Pan Zi about what Lu Yufeng explained, and handed over all the tools on my back to Pan Zi.
Pan Zi heard that it was not a difficult thing, and he responded in one bite. I didn't dare to stay outside for too long, for fear that Liu Hui would be bored and waiting, so don't come out to look for me.
I hurried back again, and then I listened to her lecture "seriously".
When it was time for lunch, I met Panzi, and when Panzi saw me, he looked proud, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "How is it?" Let's do things reliably, right? I took the opportunity to not only pry open the drawer, but also make a copy of the materials inside. ”
I really wanted to take this opportunity to praise him, but when I saw the "baba character" he wrote, I swallowed it back.
I'm curious about what Lu Yufeng asked us to check, although the words written by Pan Zi are difficult to recognize, I still read it carefully.
I didn't expect that this was Liu Hui's personal file, where she was born, when she went to school and work, and so on. I said in my heart, what does Lu Yufeng want this for? Do you check your account?
With a question, I asked Panzi to put the note away.
Originally, after school in the afternoon, Liu Hui wanted to take us to dinner, but I pretended to be in my heart, so I refused her. After returning to the residence, I found that Lu Yufeng had already returned, and he really couldn't change his habit, eating dried meat and drinking alcohol.
I really sighed from the bottom of my heart, he, a special informant, is a master of art and bold, and he doesn't pay attention to the rules that our informants usually have to quit drinking.
When he saw the two of us, he was anxious to ask how things were going, and Panzi took out the note.
I knew he cared about it, but I didn't think he could care so much. He suddenly laughed after reading the note, and beckoned us both and said, "Let's go, let's go somewhere!" ”
