On the Brink of Despair: Chapter 15
After everyone unanimously decided to store these scalpels and the crossbows that Ferry and Qiao had gotten later, Ye Xi also took out what he found in the room yesterday.
A black compass, with complex symbols engraved on the front, and four overlapping black iron plates on the back, of course, the iron pieces are just a description of the aspect, in Ye Xi's words, she has no clue about the materials made of this exquisite compass.
"Na, that's it, it looks like a pretty beautiful craft~ But it's definitely not my work. Ye Xi gently held the edge of the compass with his fingers, and said softly while letting it slowly rotate: "I don't understand what it is used for at all, and I don't know much about such things as compasses." ”
Yang Rui suddenly said: "Then Wan Teng should know a little bit about it, right? He is a super-university-level oceanographer, and the original role of the compass is to play on the sea, right?"
"Show me. Wan Teng didn't shirk it, after all, this knowledge is indeed quite profound, he took the compass from the hand handed over by Ye Xi, began to look at it carefully, and explained to everyone at the same time: "Actually, the compass didn't appear in the first place to act on navigation, so don't expect too much from me......"
Cui Fan echoed: " I know this, the compass was originally used to detect feng shui, also called the compass, it was a common operating tool in my country's Li Qi Sect a long time ago, the main principle is related to the magnetic field, I didn't block it so deeply, and rote memorization is not helpful to everyone, so this paragraph will be skipped first, it is said that Wan Teng often comes into contact with the navigation compass, but because no one understands the compass now, the word compass will become seem to refer to the kind used in navigation, but Ye Xi's classmate seems to be......”
"Don't look like it. After looking at it for a while, Wan Teng slid the black compass back along the table to Ye Xi, shook his head and said, "This is not the kind I know, I can't understand it at all." ”
Ye Xiyou looked at Cui Fan: "Then Cui Fan, do you know this kind of compass?"
Cui Fan stood up and leaned over to take a look, then shook his head and said: "At least the books I have read have not recorded such a strange compass for you, neither the magnetic needle and scale of the navigation compass, nor the ten ways of Tianxin and the twenty-four squares of the compass, the lines on the front are like ghost paintings, and the lines on the back ......"
Kang Xiaofeng suddenly stretched out his hand and turned the compass over, looked at the four black iron pieces buckled behind his back, and raised his eyebrows at everyone: "I think it looks like a painting." ”
Draw?
"Although it seems to be just a jumble of lines, each of them has a different depth and brushstroke, and I can probably see something if I don't have much use to throw it away, wait a minute. Kang Xiaofeng took out two pencils and a blank piece of paper from his pocket, which everyone found together yesterday, as the only person among the people who had attainments in painting, he naturally took some.
I saw Kang Xiaofeng spread the white paper on the table, and then quickly sketched the outline on the paper that was exactly the same as Ye Xi's compass, but several times larger, and then randomly drew all kinds of messy lines and lines, and in less than half a minute, the paper had become completely messy and unrecognizable.
Yang Rui snorted: "Are you trying to tell us that the person who made this thing is also an abstract or stream-of-consciousness person?"
"No, no, no~" Kang Xiaofeng shook his head vigorously: "So now is the time to witness the miracle, everyone, please see~"
He suddenly flipped the paper over and slapped it vigorously on another sheet of paper that had been taken out from the beginning and put aside, and ......
When Kang Xiaofeng opened the piece of paper on which he had drawn a lot of messy lines that no one could understand, what caught the eyes of the other thirteen people was......
Four statically different but intriguing heraldic motifs!
On the upper left is a wolf roaring in the moonlight, carrying a heavy and exquisite saddle with two battle flags, one black and one white, standing proudly and proudly on the top of the mountains closest to the crooked moon!
At the bottom left is a slender black scythe, slanted in front of a small tombstone, covered with intricately carved lines, which looks noble and elegant, but in the black shadow that can clearly be seen as a pool of blood, this elegance of a weapon seems to roar and sigh the silence and extinction of all things.
On the upper right is a knight standing with a shield, his figure is tall and mighty, his whole body is shrouded in black armor, the fully enclosed knight's helmet makes people can't even see his face, and the heavy shield that can even completely hide it behind has a stronger presence than the knight itself, just looking at it is enough to make people feel suffocating pressure.
In the lower right corner, there is just an eye, a huge circle full of intricate geometric shapes and symbols, which may seem inconspicuous compared to the other three paintings, but there will always be a second or two that will make you feel that you are not just looking at an ordinary heraldic painting, but a real eye! An eye that watches everything without you noticing, an eye that makes countless lies and disguises invisible!
......
After a long lingering silence, Ye Xi finally whispered in disbelief: "This can't be the ...... behind my compass"
"That's right. Kang Xiaofeng sighed: "This is what the four pieces of iron that look like pieces of iron are hidden, I have to say that from the perspective of a quasi-artist, this is a miracle." ”
Everyone also expressed their amazement, on the one hand, there was such a breathtaking hidden content on this seemingly inconspicuous compass, and on the other hand, it was also because Kang Xiaofeng could almost rub it onto a piece of paper in an unimaginable way in just a few minutes, which made what was originally just a bunch of chaotic lines in everyone's eyes turned into a work that can almost be described as magnificent.
Kang Xiaofeng shook his head with a sad face: "Okay, okay, don't praise me, the more I praise me, the stronger the frustration, although the process of copying it against Ye Xi's compass is indeed not complicated, but if you want me to do it myself......
He laughed dryly, the pencil in his hand swirled and flew quickly on his fingertips, but his tone was helpless to the extreme: "I can't make any pair of them......
"Don't be discouraged, Kang Xiaofeng. Yao Qianhan encouraged: "After all, you are a painter, you have done a very good job in this regard!"
Bai Miaomiao also nodded and said, "That's right, it's all your credit to have this discovery, which is undoubtedly very important to us." ”
"Oh?" Kang Xiaofeng also cheered up a little, and asked with some confusion: "Do you know these patterns?"
"I don't know, I can even say I've never seen one. Bai Miaomiao stroked her smooth little chin intentionally or unintentionally and said: "But not knowing doesn't mean that there is no gain, at least through this incident we have a very important reference ......"
Ji Wutong was thinking about the four patterns at this time, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but ask, "What reference?"
Bai Miaomiao didn't know why, but she slightly turned her gaze away, stared at the delicate skeleton model in front of her, and said with great certainty: "These things that each of us got are definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface, and there are many details before that prove that these are definitely not bad jokes, maybe...... Hmmm......"
Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, raised her head slightly and looked at the people who were listening carefully: "Anyway, it's better for us to pay more attention, Ye Xi's special belongings are also finished, so the next thing is ......"
Although everyone felt that Bai Miaomiao was a little wanted to talk just now, she didn't have much of the mood to ask questions at this time, after all, when everyone was completely unsafe for their own lives, being able to gather here to concentrate on the discussion was already the limit of what these young people could calm down.
"I hope you don't get scared, of course, I'm not the kind of weapon they got from Ferry. Inan said lightly, then raised his hand and pressed it on the table, and a wooden tablet slipped from his cuff and stood firmly in front of everyone.
At first glance, you can see that the tablets are made of wood, many of which have rotted in many places, and have dark red blood stains on them, and they are dedicated to the dead...... There is a white border around it, and it looks like a bone no matter how you look at it...... There's even a small skull in the center of the top of the tablet.
"Ah......h
Yao Qianhan was also taken aback, but her nerves were still quite tough after all, she was quickly shocked, and asked, "What is this......?" Spiritual position?"
And the reaction of the others is not too big, Zhen and Yulin, who are also girls, did not react at all, Bai Miaomiao even got closer with interest, Yang Rui raised his eyebrows and whistled loudly, I don't know what it means.....
As for Jiang Dao, she has always been that gloomy appearance anyway.
Kang Xiaofeng actually reacted quite a lot at first, which can be seen from the fact that he grabbed Ji Wutong's hand suddenly, this super high-level painter is obviously not very resistant to this kind of thing, Ji Wutong was not startled, but he was almost pinched by the former and screamed......
Except for Kang Xiaofeng, whether it is the two brothers Fei Li and Qiao, or Cui Fan, Chang Xia and Wan Teng, there is no overreaction, of course, no one knows whether this calmness is real or pretended~
"I've warned you. Inan sighed, as if he had expected someone to be startled, and explained, "I have researched, this tablet is indeed wooden, and there should be nothing wrong with that, but the disgusting ornaments around it are not bones, but made of a substance I don't know, and the dark red on it is not blood, but paint." ”
Hearing this, Liu Li suddenly lay on the table, and after a long sigh of relief, he looked at Inan with a little annoyance and said, "Why don't you explain it clearly first and then take it out, it's scary, I don't know!"
"I don't think there's anything scary about it. Inan picked up the tablet on the table and put it in his hand to look left and right: "It's just made of wood, paint, and some unknown substance that is not bone anyway, even if there are really blood stains or human bones, is this kind of thing that is already dead things any threat to us as living people? ”
Ji Wutong glanced at Ye Xi, who was almost under the chair, and said with a wry smile: "Classmate Inan, it is normal for humans to be afraid of that kind of thing, darkness, silence, bloodstains and even ......"
Ye Xi and Liu Li trembled lightly again......
"Anyway, it's probably something like this, and it's still instinctively scary. Ji Wutong hurriedly choked back the word 'corpse' and changed his words: "You have to understand~~"
Inan shook his head: "It's hard to understand. ”
"Hey, aren't you a spirit medium?" Although Yang Rui himself was not afraid, he was still very unhappy because Yi Nan scared Ye Xi: "This is not afraid of that I don't understand, is it possible that a super university-level spirit medium is still an atheist?"
Inan shook his head and said, "I'm not an atheist, on the contrary, I firmly believe in the existence of souls in the world, but this does not seem to contradict the concept I just said. ”
"Ahem, okay, okay, Inan-san, have you found anything?" As a real surgeon, he naturally doesn't deal less with things like blood, bones, and even dead people, so he doesn't care about those who have it or not, and just asks impatiently.
Inan nodded: "The first discovery is that this tablet naturally seems to have something to do with my so-called super-university-level psychic medium......
"Isn't the tablet supposed to be a medium between the living and the imaginary dead who are still conscious?" Cui Fan said, "Burn a piece of paper on incense or something." ”
"That's not what I'm talking about. Inan explained, "I mean, this thing gives me the feeling that it is a medium of direct communication with the deceased, so I have to explain it in layman's terms...... It's like .....something like a phone......"
Well, this time, even Bai Miaomiao's face turned white, and Yang Rui and Yao Qianhan also shrunk their necks at the same time......
Ji Wutong also shuddered.
Why do you always feel ...... The topic seems to be getting more and more weird......
