Chapter 42: Father's Relic
"Do you have his contact information?" Qin Manjiang asked.
He looked at Qin Manjiang, as if thinking about something, and then nodded.
Qin Manjiang just asked casually, but he didn't expect this strange boy to really give him the doctor's contact information.
After pressing a string of numbers, Qin Manjiang looked at the phone screen, this string of numbers looked very strange, not only did the number of digits reach twenty, but there was no sign of any communication operator.
Soon, the phone rang.
The answer button was pressed over there.
"Hey." The voice of a strange man, listening to the voice is not too young anymore.
The voice on the phone was empty, and the conversation environment over there seemed to be in the basement or something.
Moreover, there was no doubt at all in the man's "hey" tone, as if he knew who was calling.
"You're Qin Manjiang, right?" The man over there said.
He really said Qin Manjiang's name directly.
“…… Be. Qin Manjiang replied, "Who are you?" ”
"Did you get something? You should have called a long time ago. ”
Stuff?
Qin Manjiang glanced down, was he referring to this?
"You sent it?" Qin Manjiang had already confirmed all the people he knew in this short period of time, and he could be sure that the voice on the phone was definitely not someone he knew.
"Yes and no. I sent the thing, but I didn't leave it for you, it was you...... Your dad left it for you. The male voice said.
Qin Manjiang frowned, he knew that the father in the other party's mouth would definitely not be Lao Qin.
"Do you know that person?"
"Colleague, also a friend, you are his son, I know."
The male voice said.
"Who is my biological father? What is your name? ”
Qin Manjiang asked.
"Now you know, it doesn't mean anything to you." The doctor replied.
Qin Manjiang couldn't figure out his intentions for a while: "This boy, why did you want him to come to me?" ”
"You can get rid of him. Stay safe, though. The male voice seemed to be patiently explaining.
Qin Manjiang was puzzled: "Why?" ”
"His name is Lin, and I asked him to protect you for a while, and I can pay off your father's last bit of favor." He said.
Qin Manjiang was silent for a moment: "I don't need protection." ”
"Yes," he paused, "it was true before, but now, it's guilty. ”
The other party's words made Qin Manjiang look down at the thing he was holding in his arms.
As if knowing that Qin Manjiang was staring at the package at the moment, the doctor's voice came from the other side of the phone:
"Turn it on."
Qin Manjiang entered the house, and Lin quietly followed him into the room.
Qin Manjiang found scissors and opened the bag.
After opening it layer by layer, what appeared in front of Qin Manjiang was a pure white metal box.
The whole body of this metal is cold, exuding a strange chill, this kind of cold only appears on the body of the box, and the cold is not felt at all through the air.
Qin Manjiang didn't even see the gap in the box, but when his hand touched it, the box had already opened by itself.
The first thing that catches your eye is a letter.
There was no name written on the envelope, but it was a very strange thing, looking at this letter, Qin Manjiang actually had a sense of familiarity.
Open the envelope and take out the white stationery, which is cold to the touch and seems to be specially made.
There are a few lines on it, which read:
"Hello,
My son, I don't want to bother you unless I have to.
Your fate worries me, and the rest of the content, please make sure that no one around you reads it again. ”
Qin Manjiang glanced sideways, and the boy named "Lin" had closed his eyes since he entered the house, sitting on the sofa, and didn't look at him at all.
He continued to look down:
"That game, it's going to find you."
Just this sentence made Qin Manjiang's pupils shrink.
That "father" who had never met knew what was going on with him at the moment?
"Because, I'm a gamer, too."
The content of the letter made Qin Manjiang's heart beat faster.
"I don't believe this game comes from a higher civilization, or the bad taste of ghosts."
"Its creator must be a human being just like us."
"It's just that the person has knowledge that we don't know, and uses some mysterious power to build such a platform for all players to serve him."
"I'm playing a game while I'm secretly investigating."
"Until...... I discovered their secrets, and I ...... Got it. ”
"Don't open it until you've got a permanent item."
"I found the door, but I couldn't find the key."
"The world behind the door is up to you."
The content of the letter ends here, not at all like a letter from a father to his future son, but more like a boss assigning tasks to employees.
Qin Manjiang crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the trash.
Perhaps hearing a voice, the doctor asked, "See?" ”
"To put it simply, your father had a baby who was remembered, and he died because of it, and you were entrusted to someone else to send him away, changed your name and surname, and barely survived, and now, I have returned to you what your father entrusted to me, of course someone will come to trouble you." The doctor said.
"Why didn't anyone trouble you?"
"Huh? Because I haven't opened the box. ”
The doctor said it as a matter of course.
"If you open the box, of course you will be aware of the signal, but don't worry too much, you can probably only make sure that you are in the Fucheng area."
Qin Manjiang was silent for a moment and said, "I'm not interested, I'll give it to Lin and let him return it to you, I have nothing to do with you." ”
Qin Manjiang's answer made the doctor stunned, he didn't seem to have thought that Qin Manjiang would react like this at all.
"That was your father's last request."
"My father's name is Qin Linghan."
"That thing is worth a fortune!"
“……”
Qin Manjiang didn't even bother to answer this time.
He closed the box and threw it to the strange boy Lin.
"Take it back and give it to the doctor."
Lin caught the box very lightly and looked at Qin Manjiang with a puzzled expression.
"I won't rent the house, please leave."
Qin Manjiang pressed Lin's shoulder and was about to send him away.
"Wait!" The doctor's voice on the phone finally became anxious, "Don't throw this trouble to me, it's your father left you!" ”
"I know you're complaining that your parents abandoned you, but they are also forced to do so, if you don't send you away, you will die!"
Qin Manjiang was unmoved.
"Don't you want to avenge them? The guy who killed your real parents? ”
"And your adoptive father and adoptive mother!"
Qin Manjiang's movements stopped suddenly: "What do you mean?" ”
After hearing Qin Manjiang's voice, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "It's literal, your adoptive father and adoptive mother are ordinary people in Xiajiang Village, aren't you curious, why after you were sent to Xiajiang Village, there were rumors of strange talk villages in that place?" ”
Of course, Qin Manjiang wanted to know, although he had recently learned from the Internet that Xiajiang Village was a strange village, he didn't think that this matter was related to him.
But now listening to this strange doctor, he vaguely felt that this matter really seemed to be related to him.
I am 20 years old this year, and I was sent to Xiajiang Village 20 years ago, and the unsolved cases and strange stories in Xiajiang Village have also lasted from 20 years ago to today.
To say that it is not related is to deceive yourself.
And...... Sister Qin said that on September 4, the day of her father's death, she must go to Mianshan Psychiatric Hospital to find her.
Qin Manjiang's thoughts flew far away, but he heard the doctor say, "What your father left you may be able to put an end to all this completely......
Qin Manjiang was silent for a moment.
Sure enough, this doctor, like Xi Wutong, is also an insider.
Qin Manjiang looked at the box, took it from Lin's hand again, and opened it.
Lying quietly inside is a mobile phone and a ...... A very ordinary, featureless phone.
When he picked up his phone, Qin Manjiang's eyes trembled.
There's something more down there!
It is a small and delicate long-life lock.
The longevity lock is attached, and there is a small note pasted on it, the same cold material as the letter.
There are not many words, and you can read them at a glance.
"Child, you have to grow up well, safe and smooth - mother."
Qin Manjiang's face was expressionless, he wanted to crumple it like kneading a letter paper, but he quietly stopped.
"I see."
