Chapter 20: The Key
"Is that Teacher Xinting okay?"
After a long time, Deadwood asked Xinting, whose crying had calmed down, and hoped to let him go if he could.
Xinting was silently hugging the dead wood at the moment and did not speak.
Xinting rubbed her crying red eyes, this is the first time she has seen her deceased mother in three years, there is no way to control her feelings, this statement Deadwood does not sound so accurate, because Xinting is indeed invisible, but she can still feel this, Deadwood did not expect it, originally in Deadwood's inner imagination, the meeting between the two was silent and could not communicate, but now it seems that she thinks too much.
Deadwood told Teacher Xinle the reason why he stayed here, Teacher Xinle's obsession had not yet been realized, so he could stay here, and it was also because of the appearance of Deadwood that Xinle was able to say his request, otherwise he might stay here until his soul dissipated.
"Did she tell who the killer was?" Xinting asked Deadwood.
"As I deduced myself, she has forgotten about who killed her." Deadwood told Xinting the truth.
Xinting told Deadwood that as long as she could help, she would do her best to help.
"Why are you helping my mother."
Now Xinting is full of curiosity and wants to ask Deadwood if she has any questions.
Deadwood also complained in his heart, "Why did you suddenly become curious about the baby, there are a lot of questions." But you can't say you don't want to answer.
Deadwood said that it was the heart that wanted to help the living soul to make it do so.
Xinting snorted, indicating that she understood.
Coming back to her senses, Deadwood wanted to know what Xinting was looking for, Xinting told Deadwood that it was an ordinary-looking, but actually not ordinary box at all, and it was originally commissioned in the office, but the commission was taken, so Xinting could only take out the box, and after the trustee completed the commission and sent the box back, Xinting didn't know where to put it.
Deadwood's eyes widened, and his eyes blinked, as if to say, are you qualified to say about me when it comes to losing things?
Xinting was going to continue to look for the box, and the dead wood was going to stay here for a while, and the two of them were separated, and when they were tomorrow, they would have something to discuss.
After Xinting left, Deadwood squatted on the ground and began to tap the floor regularly, which was a symbol of Deadwood calling out to the soul.
After a while, the beggar came.
"How's it going?" Now the dead wood wants to see what the beggars have to gain.
The beggar shook his head, not to mention human bones, not even animal bones.
Deadwood thought, this can at least deny that Xinle's body is not buried nearby, Deadwood did not expect things to develop in a more difficult direction, which means that Xinle's body may be farther away, and there can be no progress on the current suspicions, plus to expand the search range, this will make things even more troublesome.
"Can you only use your soul on a large scale?" In addition to using souls on a large scale, ask souls about their corresponding things. For the souls around the school was three years ago, and the souls around the Izumi Restaurant were a year ago, and Deadwood knew that souls were not so easy to find, and not everyone could stay in the world as a soul after death, and it would be difficult if the soul was unwilling to help......
There is no way for the dead wood, there are too many difficulties now, it is difficult to make progress in things, the only "person at the time" Teacher Xinle only vaguely remembers some things, and now the event has come to a node, as long as this node is broken, things will make great progress.
The time of the event is also a reason, and with the current ability of the dead wood, it can be said that there is nothing to be done.
Deadwood thought about sleeping first to relax his spirit, and when he was lying in bed, he found that he couldn't sleep at all because of so many thoughts, and his brain was full of doubts about how to solve the incident.
....................
The next day.
Deadwood was tormented by his own problems for a night, Fang Hua looked at the deadwood who was dreaming and wandering, and expressed his worries, these days Deadwood will leave school as soon as he gets out of school, it seems to be very tired, Fang Hua feels that in addition to studying, there should be nothing that will make a high school student work so hard, and Deadwood's grades have always been very good, and he will not be tired of studying at all.
Fang Hua came to Deadwood's side and asked about Deadwood's situation with concern, Deadwood looked up at the bald Fang Hua who was still a little unaccustomed. Deadwood, who hadn't been cared for for a long time, also responded to Fang Hua's concern in a friendly way, after all, he was still a little happy in his heart when he was cared for.
Fang Hua told Deadwood that he could share anything distressing with him.
"Huh? Something. Jiujiu's curious ears accurately captured the information and trotted over.
Looking at Jiujiu who came to look forward to it, Deadwood couldn't say it in his heart, first talking about his abilities, and now it was useless to tell them, and besides, they had no way to see the soul, and they couldn't let them talk to the soul, but for the sharing of friends' words, they also had to say something.
"Recently, I've encountered a thinking problem, there are a lot of things, and now the level has reached a difficult place, as long as I can solve this difficulty, I can win big, but now there is no way, what to do."
Deadwood used the game to tell the two of them what was going on now, and Deadwood knew that such a statement was easier for the two who were masters of the game to understand.
Both of them smile confidently and confidently, and the game understands this aspect, and it is easy for the two to be on the same page.
Jiujiu Fanghua told Deadwood, "This is because there are hidden levels, or when you reach the fork of divergence, Deadwood may be too aggressive, and you will go directly to the end of the level, and the clues may be in the previous level." Go back to where you went before, and maybe the clues are already waiting for you. ”
Fang Huajiujiu's opinion is really different, this is also the result of many people's thinking, sharing is indeed amazing, and now Deadwood's heart is also a lot easier, no matter whether it can succeed or not, at least now there is a way.
....................
After school that day, Xinting called Deadwood to her office.
Deadwood came to Xinting's office, and could only be said to be worthy of being the main invigilator, the documents on the desk were piled high, and the huge desk was only a little space, as a new teacher, Deadwood felt that the workload would not be too much.
Regarding the question of dead wood, Xinting's answer is to take advantage of the fact that she has just taken office and still has enthusiasm in her heart, and she should do more things when she is still young.
After chatting a few words, the two officially entered the topic.
The deadwood statue has been checked since three years ago.
Deadwood asked Xinting how much she remembered three years ago, and Xinting basically couldn't remember anything except for the disappearance of her mother. But I still remember what my mother said before she left.
Xinting said, "Her mother was suspicious for a few days, and kept checking the situation in the house, as if she was guarding against someone, and my mother asked me to find someone, as if it was a friend of my mother, and said that she had a box that could help me, and I couldn't understand my mother's words at that time, so I could only do it." ”
"Before leaving, my mother gave me a stone and told me to take it to the man."
Speaking of this, Xinting stopped.
Deadwood knew that this man was now the key to the incident.
Xinting took out the box she was looking for and put it in front of Deadwood's eyes.
The box in front of the dead wood is reddish-brown in color, composed of three parts, wide at the top and bottom, narrow in the middle, carved on the four sides, with four corners that protrude outwards at the top and bottom, and a regular cube with a keyhole in the middle.
No matter how you look at it, it's an extremely ordinary box, and there is no difference from the outside.
Xinting continued, she went to the man and handed the stone to the man, who told me to hurry away and gave me another black box.
"At that time, I felt that something had happened, and after doing what my mother had explained, I immediately went to my mother's school, but fortunately, my mother was still ......."
Speaking of this, Xinting choked up, remembering what happened last night, and the dead wood was only about the last time Teacher Xinting saw her mother.
Deadwood interrupted Xinting's words and asked Xinting to say the following things directly.
Xin Ting wiped her slightly red and swollen eyes, nodded and continued, "I immediately called the police after my mother disappeared, and went to find the person my mother asked me to find, but that person was no longer there and left the original place. ”
"At this point, all I have left is the black box that the man gave me."
Deadwood knows that the two boxes are not the same, but the starting box is obviously more important.
Xinting said that the black box had a device that would not be turned on until the time it was opened, and it was only a few days ago.
After three years, Xinting finally saw the contents of the black box, and the contents of the black box were the location of the red box.
