Chapter 128: The Troubles of the Spectre Mirror
"You know, what Wells sent out, never got it back. He would be very sad if he knew that you didn't want what he gave you. Pekney said it in all seriousness, but Wood couldn't imagine how sad Wells was anyway. If that's what Pekney said, Wood is really looking forward to seeing Wells sad.
"You just said that it was an old man who told you about the Ghost Mirror, do you know his name, or remember what he looked like?" Wood suddenly asked, since this thing Wells had the heart to give to himself, then he could not shirk it anymore.
"I guess how old he was at the time, I don't remember exactly what the other person looked like, but there is one thing I remember very clearly, that is, his body is a little bent. Generally, when people get old, their bodies will have some changes, but at that time, I just felt that his body was very unnatural and a little uncoordinated. I guess it was because he was sick because he was walking with a cane in his hand, and if he didn't have it, I think it would have been more difficult for him to walk. Pekney recalls the old man at the time, when he was afraid to look at the other man because of fear.
When the question was over, Wood didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"You..... How did you know I was here often?" it was Perkney who was the first to break the awkward atmosphere, although everyone was familiar with the affairs of the two siblings, but there were few people who could know their whereabouts. Being able to easily be known is a blow to those who love adventure.
"This, I heard Su Rui talk about it once, she said that you often appear in this area, so I just came here to try my luck, but I didn't expect to really meet you. Wood explained, fearing that Pekney would misunderstand something.
"Su Rui, she is a very smart girl, it seems that I will have to be more wary of her in the future, I don't even know when she found out. Perkney joked that it would be a surprise if everyone knew that Perkney would joke and say it so lightly.
Wood didn't expect Perkney to have such a side, and he was full of curiosity about Perkney, not knowing what kind of girl this was. Wood felt that Peckney had many facets, and what she showed to everyone was only the most inconspicuous side of her.
When I returned to the dormitory, it was already evening, and Mante was the only one left in the dormitory, and it looked like he had just woken up. Seeing Wood come in, Mante said hello sleepily, then got up and went to change his clothes. Such a scene reminded Wood of the previous scene again, because he was ashamed in his heart, when Wood saw Su Rui again, he always lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Su Rui's inquiring eyes.
"Wood, what's wrong with you today, is there something uncomfortable?" Even Mante, who was aware of the hindsight, noticed Wood's abnormality, and Su Rui could see it.
"It's nothing, it's just that we've been reading books all afternoon, and now we're a little sleepy, so let's hurry to eat, or we'll be hungry again." Indeed, Wood urged, they missed dinner several times because Mante often overslept.
Mante, who had just slept all afternoon, was already hungry with his chest pressed against his back. Fearing that he would starve at night, and ignoring Wood's abnormality, he waved his fat legs and trotted in the direction of the restaurant.
"What the hell is wrong with you today? Don't think I'm as foolish as Mante. Seeing Mante walking away, Su Rui suddenly asked, Wood was asked by Su Rui like this, and he was stunned and motionless.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Rui asked worriedly, looking at Wood's appearance.
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel a little unwell, you guys go eat, I want to go to bed early today." After saying that, Wood left without looking back, leaving Su Rui alone, standing there at a loss. Looking at Wood's hurried appearance, it seemed that he was in a hurry to go back to sleep, as if he was hiding from something.
"What about Wood, why are you alone?" Mante had already prepared dinner for the three of them in the dining room, but he saw only Su Rui alone, but he didn't see Wood, and couldn't help but ask.
"Wood is so strange today, it's like a different person. Su Rui said suspiciously, Wood today is indeed very strange, and it is not like usual at all.
"I thought Wood was a little weird today, he came back once this afternoon, but it wasn't long before he went out again. I didn't come back until just now, and I don't know if something happened to Wood that afternoon. Mante said as he ate, seeing that Wood did not come, he simply ate with Wood's dinner.
However, Su Rui's eyes were quick and blocked Mante's fat big hand: "Wood didn't eat dinner, let's take it back to him after eating." ”
Suri quietly wrapped Wood's dinner and put it in her pocket. Su Rui didn't have any taste at this meal, and she was thinking about Wood all the time.
When Mante returned, he found that Wood had indeed fallen asleep, and since he was silent about how to call Wood, Mante ate the dinner by dividing it by two.
In fact, Wood didn't fall asleep at all, he just didn't want to get up and face Mante. Knowing that several people around him were sleeping peacefully, Wood slowly opened his eyes. The moon outside the window was so bright that it shone into Wood's heart, and he felt a trace of warmth inexplicably. Wood took out the mirror and looked at the moon carefully.
The already crystal clear ghost mirror, under the background of the moonlight, looks more delicate and clear. It's just that the black smoke inside turned into a small black dot at this time, shrinking at the very bottom of the ghostly mirror. This small black dot is like a speck of dust and sand accidentally entered in the ghost mirror, which looks very abrupt.
In the moonlight, Wood whispered his mother's name in his mind. The reason why I read it in my heart is because Wood feels that in this way, even if he can't see any changes, it doesn't mean anything.
However, when Wood silently recited his mother's name in his heart, the black dot suddenly began to linger. From the size of the rice grain at the beginning, it slowly expanded, and in the end, the entire ghost mirror was rendered black. Wood held the ghostly mirror, and he didn't know how this could happen, he could only wait for the black smoke to dissipate as he had done at the beginning.
However, Wood waited for a long time, and the black smoke showed no sign of disappearing, but the color became heavier and heavier without Wood noticing.
