Chapter 12: The Mutilated Diary
After eating, Lu Ming was pushed into the bathroom by the girl.
"It's too dirty, don't go back to the room, wash it quickly!"
Lu Ming took the clothes handed by Yang Xin and closed the curtain in the bathroom.
Taking off his shirt, the figure in the mirror is thin, with wheat-colored skin, and the muscle lines in the abdomen are not obvious, and he is probably thin.
He's also a guy who isn't good at sports...
Lu Ming sighed, unscrewed the switch of the shower head, and the water poured down, cold from the top of his head to his neck, to his thighs and ankles.
[Hint: Players can start drawing skills!] 】
[Do you want to start drawing?] 】
[Yes / No]
A subtitle suddenly flashed in his field of vision, and Lu Ming was excited, and the so-called skills made him look forward to it.
"Extract!"
【Skill Extraction...】
[Detect Player Newcomer Quest Score: S]
Lu Ming felt a little uncomfortable, the last time this sentence appeared, the difficulty of the copy became higher.
The game seems to be aimed at highly-rated players, presumably to balance the gap between players.
Powerful people will naturally become more and more courageous, and vice versa.
[Drawing is complete!] 】
【Your Skill: Phantom (Lv.1)】
[Skill Overview: Move the shadow at will, the main body shares the shadow's sight, and you can restrain the opponent.] 】
[Next level: You can personify shadows!] 】
"Phantom..."Lu Ming lowered his head and looked at his shadow.
Suddenly, a black shadow split out of the shadows, wandering around Lu Ming like a pool of water.
Lu Ming tried to control it.
It worked.
He drove the shadows forward and backward, climbed up the walls, stopped at the ceiling.
The next step is to share the line of sight, Lu Ming closed his eyes, and the perspective quickly changed, and the line of sight changed to a downward view, and he could see that he was standing under the shower.
There is no real harm......
Lu Ming felt a pity, this skill could only be used for monitoring or probing for information at present.
After testing his skills, Lu Ming turned off the water, wiped his body, and put on a change of clothes.
Yang Xin had finished washing the dishes and was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"I'll go back to my room first." Lu Ming said.
"Well, I'm going to go to the church to pray later, don't forget the time..."Yang Xin turned his head to look at Lu Ming, with a helpless smile on his face: "Forget it, I'll call you, every time you will be late." ”
"Hmm." Lu Ming nodded, turned and walked up the stairs.
He didn't notice that the girl had been staring at his back.
There are three rooms on the second floor, and the door on the far right has a sign of Ling Changan, and Lu Ming pushes the door in.
The room is very tidy, with a small bookshelf on top of the desk, and a few books are placed crookedly on it.
Lu Ming opened the window next to the table, and the sea breeze blew slowly, accompanied by the cry of seagulls and the lapping of the waves.
The environment is quite nice.
On the table was a notebook with neat handwriting.
[Hint: An incomplete diary]
Lu Ming picked up the notebook and glanced at the cover a few times, it was a notebook that could be seen everywhere.
He turned the first page.
[Clue: The original owner seems to have always had the habit of keeping a diary.] 】
The handwriting on the first page is a bit immature, and it only writes about daily trivialities, and the following pages are like this.
Lu Ming sped up the speed of turning the page.
The original owner graduated from high school and was admitted to a university outside the island, and went to school part-time while working in the field...
[During the summer vacation of my freshman year, I returned to the island...]
Lu Ming stopped turning the page and leaned against the window to take a closer look.
[Yang Xin and Liang Shu came to pick me up today, they are still the same as before, there is not much change. 】
[Liang Shu kept asking me to talk about the outside world, obviously he chose to give up his studies at that time, and felt sorry for him... However, we are still dead friends and will never change! 】
[I went to worship my parents today, thank you Uncle Lin's family for taking care of me, Lin Xin too, although she is younger than me, she always looks like a little adult, which is very cute. 】
[In the afternoon, I prayed in the church, and the religion was saying that the monsters in the town were because there were demons among us, and I don't think there was such a thing as monsters, I was a materialist, and I was superstitious! 】
So far, it's almost the same as the plot, Lu Ming turned to the next page, and his shaking pupils suddenly stopped.
[I made an appointment with Liang Shu today, and I want to go to the monster-infested forest together at night, that guy actually said that he had seen monsters, and it seems that he needs to use practice to dispel his superstitions! 】
Lu Ming continued to flip back, but there was a blank space behind him.
Is it broken at this point?
Out of vigilance, Lu Ming carefully checked for any traces of being torn off.
However, no.
This is a ring-shaped diary, and even if it is torn off, there is no trace of it.
Lu Ming turned to the last page, which read: (Total of 361 pages)
He immediately counted the pages, and there were only 360 pages, and the diary was missing one page.
[Clue: The diary is missing a page (Ling Changan is not in the habit of tearing the diary, so who tore this page?] )】
At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Brother Chang'an, are you better?" Yang Xin's voice came through the door: "It's time to pray, it's time to leave." ”
"Here we are." Lu Ming took one last look at his notebook and put it on the table.
It only took five minutes to get to the town from the ring road, and there were motorbikes passing by from time to time.
"Xiao Xin." An uncle stopped the car: "Yo, Chang'an is also here, I haven't seen you for a long time, when did you come back?" ”
Time?
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled the date in his diary.
"It's only been three or four days since I've been back." Yang Xin smiled and replied for him: "Uncle Yan, let's go to the church first." ”
Without waiting for Lu Ming to speak, Yang Xin pulled him and continued to walk towards the town.
"Liang Shu will also go to church, right?" Lu Ming asked.
"Probably so." Yang Xin put his index finger to his lips and thought for a while: "His parents will pull him to church every time." ”
Lu Ming snorted and didn't say anything more.
Since the diary in the back has been torn up, I can only find the dead friend who has appeared on it, I hope there will be clues.
Suddenly, Lu Ming noticed that Yang Xin had been staring at him.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ming squinted.
Yang Xin stopped, stretched out his index finger to Lu Ming's mouth, pushed it up slightly, and forcibly hooked an unnatural smile.
Lu Ming frowned slightly, but did not resist: "How many times is the island drop?" (What the hell is going on)"
"You don't like to laugh anymore, you weren't like that before." Yang Xin's palm moved down and stopped on Lu Ming's chest: "Is there anything unhappy?" Or are you not feeling well? ”
Lu Ming felt that something was wrong, but the worry in the girl's eyes was indeed true.
"It's fine." Lu Ming smiled slightly, and half-jokingly: "I used to think I was too noisy, but now I don't like to laugh anymore?" ”
"When, of course not!" A flush appeared on Yang Xin's fair face: "Where do I think you're noisy..."
"The most you've said before is..."Lu Ming imitated her tone: "Don't laugh! I'm really! ”
Yang Xin was stunned for a moment and laughed: "How can it be so exaggerated... But you remember..."
Of course I don't remember ...
I saw it in my diary.
