The place where the demons were imprisoned was more like a small wall kitchen than a chamber, but a stone niche carved out of the solid stone wall, just big enough for a narrow desk. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a wooden box with countless fresh cracks on it, and the seal on the box was dull, apparently weakened by the years of mana, and then vigorously broken from the inside.

"Are we in the wrong place?"

Meow asked me.

I replied in the affirmative, "Absolutely." ”

"But this place can't be inhabited!"

The problem is, the monster outside is not a human but a ghost.

It was a drawer-like wooden box, and it looked like it was mostly used to hold the dirty laundry, which the demon had been living in. And this seal, it was impossible to be invalidated, I don't know what method that guy used to get out.

Oh, by the way, most likely it was the explosion that started with a bang that helped him a lot!

Meow and I discussed again how to find what the demon had said.

Because according to the meaning of the demon's words when he left, I was asked to "find it myself, and don't cry if I can't find it", which means that it should not be easy to find.

Since the place in front of you is very small, the thing you are looking for should not be very large, and if it is very conspicuous, do you still need to look for it!

I first looked and groped the entire inside of the alcove, from left to right, from top to bottom, and still found nothing. The whole alcove had obviously gone through a long time, but strangely it was exceptionally clean, even cleaner than the tables and stools that I had scrubbed with my heart when I was at home!

Looking at the box again, except for the broken places, it is also clean.

I turned back to Meow and said, "I suspect that this evil ghost has nothing to do during his time in captivity, so he can use that garment as a rag for hygiene." ”

I flipped the box and shook it gently, and it was empty.

Complaining is complaining, but there is really nowhere to look except for the box not looking inside.

As I spoke, I reached into the box and cautiously probed it.

The box couldn't be more empty.

But just as my hand reached the innermost corner of the box, a finger ached slightly, as if it had been lightly pricked by something sharp.

Meow'er saw my expression change slightly, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I guess I got a thorn in the ......"

As I spoke, I reached out my other finger to help, grabbed the thing that had been pierced into my finger, and carefully withdrew my hand.

Meow hurriedly approached to observe, but I frowned and raised my hand to take a closer look: "Hey, what is this?"

It turned out to be a bone spur smaller than a needle!

After careful scrutiny, Meow Er recognized it first: this was not a bone spur, but a fish spine.

Is this what the demons claim to have left behind to give me?

I looked it up again, and this time there was nothing else worth noting.

Now I was really laughed at by the evil spirit.

It's clearly a trap, or a prank!

Sure enough, evil ghosts are evil ghosts: their thinking is different from ordinary people, and their hearts are so small, they have nothing to do and set up a small mechanism to stab people for fun.

Thinking of this, I wanted to throw this fish bone into the ground.

But Meow didn't see it that way, and immediately stopped me: "Don't throw it, it's blind in the black light, and it will take a lot of effort to get it back if you throw it on the ground." ”

I'm even more confused. Listen to Meow'er, this little fish bone is still very important?

Meow explained to me that first of all, this fish bone could not have come from the demon's prison rations. Because the demon itself is already a soul body, it doesn't need to eat.

Secondly, even if he had eaten fish, the bones of the fish were thrown on the ground, so why did he hide them mysteriously in the box?

After listening to Meow'er's words, I subconsciously took the lamp and glanced under the desk and on the ground a few times, and really didn't find any extra fish bones or bones.

I asked Meow Er again, could it be because of age, exposed weathering and decay?

Meow asked him, what about dirty clothes, are they more likely to weathered than bone objects?

I scratched my head and giggled.

――I didn't think that when I entered here, my brain didn't seem to be very bright, and Meow is a cat after all, and her eyesight is super strong, but how did her brain become incredibly flexible?

Meow Er pointed to the four walls of the passage and asked me to take a closer look, only to see all kinds of strange pattern symbols everywhere.

Meow'er told me that the distribution and arrangement of these charms are in a certain way and law, and the function is to shield and blockade, and construct a specific space on the basis of the passage;

Therefore, as long as the rune array and space are not broken, everything in it is eternal, even the fish bone, the wooden box and the dirty clothes, and even the demon itself.

Explaining this, Meow'er sighed and said, "So despite more than 100 years of imprisonment, the evil ghost still has no change in temperament. ”

And once the demon leaves this space, it can't leave that dirty clothes for a moment, because that dirty clothes are also made up of rune space in nature.

Dirty laundry itself cannot be moved. If no one puts on dirty clothes and takes orders from the demons, then the demons will not be able to move an inch.

I understand: no wonder the evil ghost wants to threaten Wang Xinmei's father and trick Wang Xinmei into wearing dirty clothes.

It's no wonder that the police uncles were helpless before: knives or bows and arrows would only hurt Wang Xinmei's body, so the evil ghosts would have nothing to fear.

Then shift the focus to fish bones.

The evil spirit outside asked me to fetch the fish bone, so what is the mystery or secret of this fish bone?

Meow told me that he suspected that the fish bone had been taken from the demon's own body.

I was blown away by this!

Didn't Song Lao say, isn't that evil ghost a soul body? How can it have a body, and this is a fish bone? Could it be that the evil ghost is a fish?

Meow said, almost. In fact, most of the demons are fish-people, because they have certain fish characteristics: fish bones, such as fish bones, can survive underwater, breathe like fish, and of course can survive ashore.

"How do you know so clearly?"

"Because meows love fish!"

Oh, got it!

Meow Er judged that the dirty clothes should have a complete fishbone skeleton of the evil ghost in the space before his death.

The demon was able to escape smoothly this time, probably with the help of the power of this copy skeleton. Of course, the price he paid for this was not small, because the skeleton was incomplete because of the loss of this fish bone. For the fish-man ghost outside, it was deadly.

"Then why did he suggest that we should find it? Could it be that he still wants us to send him the fish bones?"

I said angrily.

"It really can't be ruled out that he has this calculation, because in his opinion, it is useless to give us this thing. Moreover, he can publicly declare that he wants you to come and get things in exchange for Wang Xinmei, but using this in exchange is his ultimate goal. ”

When I heard this, I said excitedly: "Since we and him both ask each other, does that mean that Amei's life will not be in danger?"

Meow groaned, "It should be like this." ”

However, if the skeleton of the demon was completely assembled, wouldn't it make him a great increase in strength, and would the evil spirit cause great harm to everyone outside?

Meow said, "It's better to do something with this fish bone." ”
