When we got the long-awaited book, we were both so excited that we didn't have time to care about the dust that had left us behind, so we plunged headlong into the book and read it hungrily. In my mind, I already decided that this book of "The Witchcraft of Death" must be the key to solving the mystery, because it is so hard-won that it must be more precious than gold and silver jewelry. Sure enough, the poetic narration in the book made me linger. It tells a large part of the historical experience of a nation from the creation and reproduction, prosperity and prosperity to the demise of the Hanla Youer ethnic group in ancient times, but the time it has multiplied is seventy or eighty years, and the traces left in the long history are not too substantial, and it can be regarded as a nation that comes fast and does not go slowly, so the author only relies on unsatisfactory historical facts, plus some hearsay, to basically outline the approximate ins and outs of this nation. However, there is no way to verify the exact timeline of its existence in the world. But then again, this ethnic group has a unique folk customs that are very different from other ethnic groups, and the enthusiasm and belief in symbols have evolved to a deep-rooted level. Especially when this group is about to be wiped out by the plague, the symbol is metaphorized as a fairy in the form of a phoenix and a true spirit, who is above all things with great fanfare. In this race, symbols are the only artifact that saves them and transcends them. And these symbols are surprisingly and perfectly similar to the symbols on the little black and gold spinning top in my hand. I can't help but make my eyes shine brightly.

This symbol may have a similar meaning to the one engraved on the surface of the small black gold spinning top, and I continued to read the not-so-thick book as I thought. When I finally reached the end, the last words of the book were like a light in the night, and a piece of bread after a hunger lifted my spirits.

It describes it this way: The Hanla Youer are a people with a small history, but they are a magical people. When her soul flew away, she left behind many precious treasures, which are quietly waiting for the world to come. I hope you can smell her fragrance and smell her traces between casual glances. Oh! By the way, there is another point that is not repeated, this people also has another nickname - the Deonsi tribe, which is a name equivalent to the Dharma name obtained after praying to the gods and worshipping their ancestors when their plague is becoming more and more incorrigible, but it still does not play any role in hindering, and the plague still devours the group like a demon. According to my research, this once huge ethnic group did not even have half a figure left.

These inconspicuous words are enough to make my blood boil. I was so excited that these two different ethnic groups actually belong to the same nation after all. This is really in response to the old saying: there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them!

I hurriedly displayed the little black and gold spinning top on the table, and carefully compared and pondered the symbols imprinted on the little spinning top's body with Amanda.

♉☥♊☨♌☇♎☈♏✖♐⋚♑➹♒☢♓☧♍☦∷

I circled around the little black gold spinning top and counted twenty-one symbols, presumably part of the coding language that the Deonsi used for secret communication. At first glance, these symbols may seem easily recognizable, but when you dig deeper, you find that they contradict each other and have some obvious characteristics that are not related to each other.

In fact, in ancient times, there was a tradition of carving wood to remember. Wood carving is to carve many different symbols on the wood to help memorize and convey information. Deep nicks indicate major events, shallow nicks indicate minor events, and engraved lines, diagonal lines, cross lines, etc. indicate complex things. In my memory, I once found a carved piece of wood in Yunnan with the symbol "✖" engraved on it, which means three people meeting at the full moon and three packets of gifts. But here, the meaning of this "✖" is very broad, and the text repeats its three different meanings, which simply means the words "no, no, don't do", the Arabic numerals "5, 9, 0, 4", and the capital English letters "AESX". The sheer complexity of these symbols leaves readers in a dilemma for those who want to solve the mystery, not knowing how to make the right choice to accurately convey the meaning of each symbol.

Of course, in browsing we also found some symbols that have only a single symbol. For example, "" is the symbol of Keller ☧, "☦" represents the Orthodox cross, "☇" represents lightning, "☈" represents thunderstorm, "☢" means radioactive, and " ☨ " represents the cross of Lorraine. But whether these explanations are correct or not, I am a little skeptical. Take "☦ and" ☨ as an example, one represents the Orthodox cross and the other represents the Lorraine cross, why two crosses of different religions are placed together, this is certainly unreasonable! I'm a little confused.

In ancient times, our ancestors used some physical objects to express a certain meaning. For example, choose a one-foot slender wooden stick, split at one end with chicken feathers, or a small point of fire rope and red pepper, as a letter to report an emergency. In order to convey information for a longer period of time, people use mounds and mausoleums as symbols of memory, and use boundaries, stone slabs, and fences as markers of the scope of property. Originally, the cognition of symbols should not be difficult compared to the metaphor of physical objects, but I did not expect that the symbols used by this Deanxi people are so profound and difficult to understand. This is a result we didn't expect!

We continued all the way and finally found the meaning of all the symbols. However, when we stared down at the work that had been done, there were a few wails in our hearts. We were already completely confused by our own translation.

A wry smile appeared on Amanda's face, "It seems that the symbol on the black gold spinning top is for people who are truly sceptical. ”

"That's right!" My brow furrowed. Obvious. I'm definitely not qualified.

In an instant, lightning and thunder roared, the wind swept the clouds, the rain rode the wind, and the whole sky was like a big stage where a singing was playing. I leaned in front of the window and looked up at the sky in a daze. Under the dark night, the rain pillars flew all over the sky, like thousands of sharp arrows shooting quickly into the earth, unstoppable. My mood also sank deeper and deeper with the torrential rain, as if I was about to slide into the abyss.

After a long day in the library, Amanda and I were disappointed that we had finally found a detailed account of the historical origins of the Deansi and had a deeper understanding of the symbols that the Deansi revered, but there was no particularly valuable breakthrough in putting these theories together. Just as I was listless, a high-pitched percussion exploded around me, and I couldn't help but shudder. I subconsciously searched for the source of the sound – it turned out that my phone was howling hysterically in my trouser pocket. I reached into my pants pocket with my right hand and pulled my phone out, and the sound stopped abruptly. The small screen of the mobile phone shows a familiar face smiling and groaning. Is this a sound picture that is very similar to a WeChat video a thousand years later?! It's so vivid and vivid that it's as if the interlocutor is sitting across from you, chatting with you.

I took a closer look, and it turned out that the person who sent me the text message turned out to be ...... It was Ms. Susan, who was a solidarity, and her subtle and kind voice and smile appeared in front of my eyes in an instant. We hadn't heard from each other in months, and she must have something important, so I hurriedly pressed the listen button.

The sound was very warm and cheerful, and I felt a refreshing warm current that I had not felt for a long time spread to my limbs.

"Hello! Xu Meng. I'm Susan, long time no see. I asked several people about your contact information. In between your hard work, I still have to bother you. Do you remember that note I gave you?! It was the little note that my brother regarded as a treasure. Through unremitting efforts, I have made a considerable breakthrough in the study of it. I heard you have two other little notes there, and that's great! I'd love to meet you and tell you a little bit more about some of my inspirations and unique thoughts on this little note. I think some of my ideas are very unique, and I hope to get your feedback and insights, which will be of great help to you and me. I eagerly look forward to seeing you at the Humble House as soon as possible. My address is No. 215, Luxi Courtyard, Hongbo District, where Sincere Solidarity is stationed. ”

These words were like a furnace burning in the bitter cold winter, and it instantly warmed my whole body. Anyway, this should be more or less good news. I turned around and handed my phone to Amanda, who was sitting not far away, hoping that the good news would make him feel more comfortable.

Amanda was playing thoughtfully with the little black gold spinning top, and when she saw me handing over her phone, he hurriedly took it and quickly glanced at it.

"She's the eldest sister who provided one of the three notes earlier, right?" He asked.

I nodded, "Yes, she's Lady Susan of Solidarity." …… Because one thing after another happened and made my head bigger, I have long forgotten all the things she entrusted to me. This meeting was a good opportunity for me to tell her about the three pieces of paper that I had put together and to hear her thoughts and insights. ”

"That's a good idea. But...... It's better for you to go alone, and I won't go. I think I'd better go back to the camp of the Fearless Faction to see what's going on, and then we'll make the next step. You tell me? ”

"Okay, that's what I mean."
