Chapter 12: The Conjuring
qvuuuuu smiled and said, "It's better if you don't see it." I've taken the picture, go back and study it. I'm curious, how did Fan Xiong draw it? Again, the animal's perspective. It's the devil's angle again. "
"Could she be seventy-two?" Huang Shanshan said.
Xie Ling laughed: "Seventy-two changes, it's a little interesting, maybe." His gaze fell to the corner of the room, where there was a low door. It looks like a storage room in a room. He walked over and pulled, the door locked.
The bell beckoned Huang Shanshan to take the key to open the lock, after the toss just now, we are already familiar with the environment here, and we are no longer so nervous. Huang Shanshan tried it with the key, but she couldn't open any of them. Unraveling the bell and telling her to back off, he took the key and tried it. Indeed, none of them can open this lock.
"If you can't open it, forget it." I say.
"Nope." Xie Ling and Huang Shanshan spoke in unison.
I shrugged, "What then?" "
Huang Shanshan said: "I have a hunch. We are getting closer and closer to Fan Xiong's secret. This is her very private studio, and there is such a secret door in the studio, what is inside?! If you don't open it, take a look. I'm afraid this knot will never be untied. "
"And which of us can pick the lock?" I asked.
"There's no way, I can only invite a master." Xie Ling said: "I'll make a call." "
He took out his phone and dialed the number. It didn't take long for the other side to connect, and the bell asked if the person had slept and where he was now. The man must have been around here, and I vaguely heard him say that he would be there soon. Xie Ling told him where he was and how to climb into the building, and then hung up the phone.
The rain outside was dripping, and the three of us were sitting in the studio, and no one was in the mood to chat. I looked at my watch, and it was not a short time, it was already past one o'clock in the night. Listening to the sound of the dripping rain, my eyelids became heavy and I became drowsy.
I struggled to wake up, and saw Xie Ling with his back to me, his eyes slightly closed as if he was calming his luck, while Huang Shanshan was playing with her mobile phone and scrolling through Weibo Moments. I saw that no one was paying attention to me, so I just stared at me for a while. I closed my clothes tightly and sat against the wall on a pile of broken cardboard, dozing off with my eyes closed. As soon as I closed my eyes, I immediately fell asleep.
In a daze, I couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, but I vaguely saw a woman in white walking around in the studio. As soon as this woman in white appeared, I immediately reacted, it was Huang Leilei! How did she get here? It just so happens that her sister is here, and the two of them can communicate.
I didn't feel anything abrupt or unreasonable, and I felt that this qiē happened as if it was logical. At this time, the woman in white slowly walked towards me, and my whole head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and I couldn't lift it, so I felt that she had come to my side. She leaned down slowly and whispered a few words in my ear, her voice was very thick and thick, and it took me a long time to react, she said "danger behind the door".
I was about to think about it when I was suddenly woken up by a flashlight in front of me. I covered my eyes and paused for a moment to get used to it, and I saw that there was someone else in the room at some point.
In addition to Huang Shanshan and Jieling, there is another slightly fat man. He was wearing a black rainproof single coat similar to the material of a jacket, carrying a bag on one shoulder, and showing his small white teeth when he smiled.
I felt familiar, and the fat man came over and pulled me up: "Daozi, don't you know me?" "
"Holy, you're a copper lock?" I say.
"Okay, the old classmate hasn't forgotten, and he still has a little conscience."
At first, I was able to get the mobile phone number to unlock the bell, which was helped by the copper lock. "Why are you here?" I immediately reacted, and he was the one who called the lockpicker.
Copper lock said: "Xie Ye has a life-saving grace for me, and I have to take a plane to come even if I am far away from the sky with a phone call." As he spoke, he blinked obscenely, Huang Shanshan's face turned red, and he scolded: "Stinky rascal." "
The brass lock said, "Who is this beauty?" How do you know that my nickname is a hooligan, shake hands and know each other. "
Xie Ling couldn't listen to it anymore, and coughed: "Work, work." "
Copper Lock has a sense of awe for the unraveling of the bell, and listens to him in particular. Xie Ling is like this, no matter how he lowers his posture, or even self-mocks, he can't help but have an invisible separation from him. Although the copper lock talked and laughed with him, it was polite and distant.
Copper Lock laughed dryly, threw the bag on the ground, looked at the door and said, "Is this it?" "
Xie Ling nodded. Claw Association each.
The copper lock handed the flashlight to Huang Shanshan: "The beauty helps me illuminate, and my brother will unlock the lock for you." "
"When did you learn this craft?" I was amazed to see from the sidelines.
"Learn. One more craft to defend yourself, and you won't starve to death in the future. He said, "What are you doing as a spy, sneaky, what kind of place is this?" "
Xie Ling said: "Don't ask, it's a long story, and I will have a chance to sue you in the future." "
I didn't look very carefully when I stood behind and saw that the copper lock had poked a few long copper skewers into the keyhole, and kept poking there. Xie Ling held the wax, Huang Shanshan played the flashlight, the light was relatively sufficient, and the time was not long, so I heard a gentle "click". The brass lock slowly twisted the handle, and the door opened with a "squeak".
The copper lock put away the tools, the bag was put on my back, and I said, "You're done with your work, you can go." "
"Rely on your sister, unload the mill and kill the donkey?" The copper lock scolded, and then sighed: "I also had an incredible experience before, which started by opening the lock of a family. Tsk, time flies, and the years come in cycles. "
Xie Ling walked over and pushed the door, and I held him down. He looked at me suspiciously, my heart was pounding, and I wanted to tell what I had just seen Huang Leilei in my dream, but I couldn't open my mouth.
Xie Ling looked at me: "Luo Dao, you have been a little strange lately, do you have something to say to me?" "
"It's fine." I shook my head: "I just think it's too dangerous here?" "
Xie Ling patted my hand and motioned for me to relax, and he slowly pushed the door open. As soon as the door opened, although I didn't see anything clearly, there was a warm smell inside, which was completely different from the temperature outside, and I thought that this should be the bedroom where I often lived.
The copper lock couldn't wait, took the flashlight from Huang Shanshan's hand and shone it inside. Inside is indeed a bedroom, and the first thing that catches your eye is a single bed with neatly folded quilts. Everywhere the light swept in, I saw a toilet and a washstand, which was a bit strange. There is no bathroom in the room, but the sanitary products are moved to the bedroom, sleeping here, excreting there, normal people don't do this.
At this time, the flashlight swept to something in the corner of the wall, and Xie Ling hurriedly said: "What is that, take a look at it again." "
The brass lock repositioned the flashlight on the object, and we were stunned when we saw it. It's a tall, big, big wardrobe. Xie Ling held a candle: "Let's go, go over and have a look." "
Somehow, I remembered the idea of the "gravitational machine" that Fan Xiong once produced, could it be that she really made it? My heart was pounding, and I followed them and walked over together.
The object was about two meters tall, and it was covered with a huge white cloth that was tightly wrapped inside. The copper lock grabbed the corner of the white cloth, and under the signal of the bell, it was lifted suddenly, and the flashlight was bright, and the whole picture was revealed.
At first glance, it looks like a large fish tank, surrounded by thick dark green glass, through which you can see that it is empty, only a few water pipes. I knocked, and the glass made a "clang" sound, and the copper lock said: "This is compression-resistant tempered glass, which is very strong." "
Huang Shanshan's voice trembled: "What is this?" Does Fan Xiong keep fish in his bedroom? "
Xie Ling said: "I'm afraid that it is not fish that are raised here, but people." "
"Huh?" I swallowed: "What do you mean?" "
Xie Ling walked to the side of this thing, lit it with a candle, and we leaned over to look, only to find that next to this "big fish tank", there was actually a wooden staircase. The highest point of the ladder is just on the edge of the cylinder port.
I was surprised and said, "Fan Xiong can't have walked up the stairs and jumped into the fish tank by himself, right?" "
Copper Lock laughed and laughed: "This Fan Xiong you are talking about is really wonderful, does she want to practice diving in the bedroom?" "
"Look again and see if there's anything else." Xie Ling said.
The bedroom is not very spacey, we went around separately, Huang Shanshan said, "There is a wardrobe over there that is more suspicious." "
In the other corner of the room, an old-fashioned wardrobe is erected. The two cabinet doors are carved with exquisite wooden boards, which are engraved with a very traditional three friends of the year, and the wood looks old, and the color seems a little dirty and deep.
Xie Ling held the handle of the wardrobe and slowly opened it, it was empty, there was nothing, just in the center, there was a futon.
