Chapter 96: The White Jade Bed 3
readx;? After a pause of about thirty seconds, the whistle sounded again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I couldn't communicate with that "person", and when my eyes swept to the map again, my heart moved, and I took a step across and leaned over to uncover the map.
The map is the only information document in the room, and if you take it out and compare it with the historical materials of World War II, you may be able to speculate on the significance of the existence of this small house.
The map was glued to the wall, and it was so flat that it was soaked but it was still difficult to lift the corners.
As I was picking at the corner of the map with my fingernails, another question came to mind: "How can the map be soaked in water for a long time when it is firmly glued to the wall......?" Unless the room was once filled with water and did not recede for a long time, it caused this strange situation. Could it be that the underground part of the 'Mirror Room' was once flooded?
The "man" didn't make any new noise, and although I sensed that he might be sitting on the edge of the bed and "glaring" at me, I couldn't do that much, so I took the map off first.
With a whirl, a whirlwind blew in the small room, from under my feet to the top of my head, and I couldn't open my eyes.
I had no choice but to stop and protect my eyes first.
There seemed to be a figure hidden in the whirlwind, and it swirled around with me, but I tried to open my eyes and search, but I couldn't see anything.
"Hey, this map is yours, and you don't want anyone to take it?" I whispered into the air.
As before, I received no response to my question, and the room was filled with air.
A figure flashed outside the door, and Tang came in and stood side by side with me.
"It's ...... What is it? Shouldn't it be another secret room? How can it be so small? and there is a strange smell?" Tang Wan asked four times in a row, but I couldn't answer any of them.
When she saw the map, she immediately leaned over and casually read out the names of places in Japanese.
"This is an old map, drawn in 1915, four years after the founding of the Republic of China. The Japanese had long coveted Chinese mainland, and at that time they had already drawn up a battle plan to attack from all sides. It's a pity, it's a pity, the Chinese warlords are so busy with internal strife and civil war that they don't realize that our eastern neighbor in Asia is actually a poisonous snake eyeing over. Looking at this map now, it still makes Chinese shudder. Tang Wan said.
"It's not just us in this room, there's an uninvited guestβ" I pointed to the cot and corrected myself, "maybe he's the host, and we're the uninvited guests." β
That "person" was Japanese, and there was a map of Japan attached to the room, so it was very likely that he "lived" in this small room.
Tang Wan looked at the small bed, and suddenly lost her voice and whispered: "This bed...... It's made of white jade!"
When I came in, I only noticed the map, but I didn't check the little bed, and I didn't know what it was made of.
Tang Wan leaned over again, brushed his palm on the edge of the bed, and added with great certainty: "This is a white jade bed from the East China Sea, Japan, South Korea, and North Korea have all had a precedent for the emperor's 'white jade bed'. It's strange, what is the purpose of the 'Mirror Room' to collect such a white jade bed here?"
I see, Robert said, that the soul is hidden in the white jade bed, so this small room is the habitat of the "man".
"Let's go, don't bother him. I said.
Tang Wan was puzzled, and bent down to sit down on the small bed.
I didn't have time to stop her, or I didn't even think there was anything wrong with the bed, and it wouldn't break it if I sat down.
Now, I just regret that I couldn't take that map down and take it with me.
Luckily, I had my phone in my pocket, so I immediately took it out and took four or five pictures of the map.
The resolution of the mobile phone camera is very high, it has reached more than 10 million pixels, as long as the picture is printed, according to the map, you will be able to find the identity clue of the "person".
"Let's go, let's go find another secret room, there is a good chance that we will find a staircase that leads to a deeper level......" I put away my phone and whispered to Tang Wan.
For some reason, Tang Wan didn't make a sound, just sat on the edge of the bed with his head down.
"Tang Wan, let's go. I said hello a second time, turned to look at her, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
I stepped in front of Tang Wan, squatted down slightly, and pressed her shoulders with both hands.
Tang Wan's face was very normal, and there was nothing unusual in his expression, but his eyes lost their original brilliance and became extremely hollow.
I held out my right index finger and shook it in front of her eyes.
Tang Wan's eyes didn't blink, and she was completely unaware of my existence.
"Tang Wan, Tang Wan?" I shouted twice, reaching into her midriff again, and carefully probing her snort.
Thankfully, her breathing was still normal.
I carefully put my arms under her armpits and slowly lifted her up.
Her whole body became extremely stiff, like a puppet at my mercy.
My heart sank suddenly, I knew that something was wrong, and I expected that Tang Wan's strange appearance must be related to this white jade bed.
"Senior, my friend has no intention of offending, if there is any rudeness, please forgive me. If it's convenient, please don't hurt my friend, if there is any trouble, I will bear it myself. I arched my hand towards the center of the bed, hoping that the "person" was still there and could help Tang Wan return to normal.
I didn't get any response, and there was only one Tang Wan left by my side who lost his soul in an instant.
Cold sweat seeped out of my forehead and gathered into beads of sweat the size of beans, falling to the ground one by one, making a "snapping" sound.
The air in the fighting room became stiff and desperate, and I couldn't guess what happened to Tang Wan, and I only regretted in my heart that I shouldn't have broken into the seventh underground floor, leading the situation to a dead end that I regretted.
"Tang Wan, wake up, wake up......" I called out to Tang Wan while pinching her with my thumb nails. However, this method did not have the slightest effect, and she remained in an unconscious state with her eyes wide open.
"Senior, please spare my friend, even if we have never been here, we will never mention anything here to anyone. I bowed to the cot.
In normal times, it would never have been possible for me to bow to a Japanese person and pray. In other words, if something unfortunate happened to me, I would rather die than whisper to the Japanese.
Now, for the sake of Tang Wan, I am willing to do anything.
After about ten minutes, I realized that Tang Wan could not recover in a short time, so I had to help her out of the room.
Robert and Ekino are gone, and I hope Robal has convinced Ekino to leave the bomb in the power core of the "Mirror Room" without going crazy.
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the gate, and you didn't need to look up to know that it was the ghost bodhisattva and others who had arrived.
"Mr. Xia, are you okay? I'm so worried when I see you rushing down from the surveillance!" was Jaenna who rushed to my side first, her face full of concern.
I shook my head dejectedly and helped Tang Wan to sit down on the bench next to me.
"What about Robert? What about the outlaws who infiltrated the 'Mirror Room'? Didn't you stop them? It fucking drove me mad, all of us were there, and we were all there, and we were so embarrassed, what a shame!" the Ghost Bodhisattva screamed in frustration.
He didn't notice Tang Wan's strange appearance until Jian Na reminded: "Professor, look at Miss Tang, something is wrong with her?"
The ghost bodhisattva lowered his head, swept his gaze over Tang Wan's face, and immediately stretched out his right index and middle two fingers to probe Tang Wan's snort, and then probed the pulse on the side of her neck.
"Did she enter the secret room?" the Ghost Bodhisattva asked sharply.
I nodded feebly.
"The secret room is locked, how can she break in?" the Ghost Bodhisattva asked again.
I pointed to the chamber: "The door is open, I go in first, and she goes in again." At first everyone was fine, but she had been sitting on the cot for less than a minute before it became like this. β
The ghost bodhisattva paused: "It's over, it's over, she has sat on the 'Soul Snatching White Jade Bed', and her soul has been hooked away, how can this be born?"
Jane Na also shouted: "Mr. Xia, you can't enter that secret room, and you can't sit on that bed." You guys...... How could you have stumbled into it by mistake? So far, that bed has hooked the souls of nearly 100 people, and none of them have been able to recover. It's over, it's really over!"
My brain became swollen, and my thinking was extremely disordered, and I only heard other researchers talking nonsense, accusing me and Tang Wan of not doing it, saying that we were to blame.
"What about Robert? What about the mysterious man? They took all the materials from the 'Mirror Room', but they didn't keep the money. And what now? What do we deserve? Who gives us money? Who pays us that big amount of compensation......" Someone shrieked and chattered about the cooked duck flying again.
"Miss Janena, this matter must not be counted like this, everyone has worked hard in the 'mirror room' in order to obtain a large bonus and considerable dividends after the research has been achieved. Now, the research materials are gone, but you have to pay for our money. Go and call the investor and ask them to transfer the money to our account first. Otherwise, we will dismantle the 'mirror room' and split up...... "Some people are impatient and want to get the cash immediately and then fly away."
I don't have time to accuse this group of people for being stupid and ridiculous, only one voice in my head sounded repeatedly: "I hurt Tang Wan, I hurt Tang Wan, I hurt Tang Wan......"
"Enough is enough, don't make any noise, of course the money is indispensable to you, but now I have to report to the top and report our losses. I will inform you as soon as I can get the money. Don't worry, the sky is falling, with my old face on top, there won't be a penny missing everyone......" The Ghost Bodhisattva roared twice, but his voice was immediately drowned out by the shouts of others.
The "mirror room" is not far from Jinan Central Hospital and even closer to the Medical Research Institute of Shandong University, but I don't think those quacks can cure Tang Wan's "strange disease".
The ghost bodhisattva made it clear that the small bed was called the "White Jade Bed for the Soul and the Soul", and as long as it was touched, the soul would be hooked away. If you want to resurrect your soul, only someone like the official aunt can help.
Now, instead of seeking medical treatment, such as turning to the "impermanent".
"Mr. Xia, it's too chaotic here, why don't we help Miss Tang back to the office to rest first, maybe when she wakes up, her spirit will recover." Jaina whispered in my ear.
I shook my head: "No need, her soul was taken away by the small bed, and her body can't stay away, otherwise, her soul won't be able to find a home if she wants to come back." I have made up my mind that if her spirit does not come back, I will stay here for a long time and wait with her. β
According to folklore, when a person is frightened by a serious accident, the soul will instantly leave the body and leave the body temporarily.
At that moment, the "Impermanent Person" can see the soul sitting on the ground, as long as he holds the soul with both hands in time and "helps" it to the person's body, the soul can automatically return to its place and will not cause any harm to the person. On the contrary, if the person who lost his soul left in a hurry and did not care about the soul that was paralyzed on the ground, it would become quite troublesome to come back and "call the soul" after a long time.
I hope that Tang Wan has only temporarily lost her soul, as long as she is given a little time, her soul will naturally return.
"That's impossible, Mr. Xia, there is no precedent for the soul to come back so far. You know, that white jade bed was made with Miao Jiang's witch curse technique, which is quite vicious, as long as it takes away the soul, it is equivalent to-" Jian Na smiled bitterly and didn't say any more.
I didn't want to speak anymore, and shook my head tiredly, signaling that Jane didn't need to be persuaded anymore.
"Xiao Xia, don't be stubborn, something has happened, even if you kill yourself on the spot, it's useless. Be sensible, be sober, and look away, no one wants this kind of strange thing to happen, but since it has happened, you have to face it correctly. I think so, you go up and rest first, and I'll take care of the things here, okay?"
I held Tang Wan's hand, I couldn't believe that the scene in front of me was real, I just hoped it was just a nightmare. As soon as you wake up, all bad luck vanishes and ceases to exist.
"Let it go, Mr. Xia. Jaena held my fingers, straightened them one by one, and then took Tang Wan's wrist away from my palm.
I'm a little at a loss, Aunt Guan has passed away, and although there are many "impermanence" in Jinan City, there are very few who can compare to her.
"Perhaps, if I advertise on major television stations and radio stations and recruit 'impermanence' with ability, I will be able to work together to get Tang Wan's soul back? Or, I will carry Tang Wan and order the others to carry the small bed out and follow me, and everyone will go to the ground together? In any case, Tang Wan and the bed cannot be separated, because her soul is on that bed......
I was thinking about it when a gentle and calm female voice rang out: "Don't make any noise, everyone, listen to me." β
The voice was unfamiliar, and the researchers were discussing it merrily, croaking like twelve excited wild ducks.
There was a snap, someone snapped their fingers, and the sound was sharp and crisp.
I immediately realized that the loudest voice had disappeared in an instant with the snap of my fingers.
The second and third snaps of the fingers were repeated, and two more voices stopped.
With this kind of experience, others quickly shut up, for fear that they would also be implicated.
When I looked up, the first thing I saw was a beautiful woman in a smoky khaki trench coat walking through the crowd towards me.
She had long, jet-black hair, half flying in the wind and half hanging down to her chest. As she strode forward, her long, bouncy oily hair shone with a fine silver glow as her body swayed, like a chain of black silver that was extremely thin, dazzling.
Behind her, the three researchers were still waving their arms, but they had been reduced to clay sculptures of wood, unable to move or shout again.
The woman's hands were raised above her shoulders, her thumb, index finger, and middle finger still together, ready to snap at any moment.
Everywhere they passed, all the researchers were silent, and a few of the most timid ones quietly moved backwards, for fear of being "frozen" by the woman's snapping fingers.
The woman had been five paces in front of me before she stopped, staring at me with those eyes as deep as a bottomless pool.
"I'm Qu Ling, I'm from the United States, and my specialty is mirror space system research. This time I came here to resolve the crisis of the 'mirror room', so please take care of us when we meet for the first time. β
She didn't reach out to me, but in my senses, she had taken my hand and gently shook it three times in a row.
"Fortunately. "I tried to hold on and respond politely.
"Fortunately, don't worry about your friend, give me a little time, everything will be fine. She said.
"Miss Qu Ling, I'mβ" The Ghost Bodhisattva said hurriedly.
Caught off guard, Qu Ling turned around and waved his arms, snapping his fingers in front of the ghost bodhisattva's face.
The voice of the ghost bodhisattva was cut off in an instant, and the whole person stood on the spot, motionless.
"When I speak, people try not to interject, it will seem very uncultivated. Qu Ling smiled gently.
Jana held the ghost bodhisattva, her face was full of shock and fear, but she didn't dare to attack.
Qu Ling bowed to me very politely and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Xia, I was invited by the 'Mirror Room' to solve the difficult and miscellaneous diseases in the process of scientific research. Before I came to Jinan, I always felt that work came first, and some problems had to be solved. However, when I arrived here and met Mr. Xia, I suddenly felt that being able to meet a super wise man like Mr. Xia in this small place in Jinan was the biggest gain of this trip. β
I didn't understand the other party's intention, so I had to answer briefly: "Welcome Miss Qu to Jinan, if there is a way to save my friend, then I am grateful to Xia Shi." β
Qu Ling smiled and pointed to the door of the room: "The bell must be tied to the bell, the problem is in the bed, so naturally we have to find the answer from the bed." Now, come on in, and I'll show you something interesting. As for the others, they should be dispersed!"
She struck four times in a row, each time with a different intensity and voice.
With the high-fives, the first three people and the ghost bodhisattva to be "fixed" immediately regained their freedom and became able to "move" and "speak".
