Chapter 147: Candles

Zhao Ying fumbled in her breast pocket for a while, "Great, this one is still there." ”

Jiang Shan looked at it fixedly, and saw Zhao Ying's hand stretched out and took out a very thin ...... What's this, it seems a bit like a birthday candle?

"Before I came, I found a little candle to take with me, just in case." Zhao Ying's expression darkened, "This is my birthday a year ago, and I worked overtime at the scientific research institute, and a few of them ordered a cake for me." There are a few candles left. ”

It is no wonder that in the era of science and technology, there was no place to sell candles if you wanted to buy one, and only birthday candles and other special meaning were still produced by manufacturers.

Zhao Ying took out the lighter, hit it several times before flashing the pitiful fire core, and rushed to light it.

Even Jiang Shan, every year in the orphanage, she will receive a small cake with a candle on it to symbolize her age.

Although the candle was small, the bright light that lit it seemed to give Zhao Ying a reassurance. "Ah Shan, don't worry, I will definitely lead you to find a way out."

Jiang Shan looked at Zhao Ying, "Zhao Ying, you said those names that were named, such as the place where the demon was born...... Does this have a special meaning? ”

Zhao Ying's face showed a blank expression, "I haven't thought about it, we don't even know what the origin means, I think these names are more or less mysterious." ”

This kind of dumb riddle-like thing really makes people feel bad, and if you have the ability, you can say it directly, and the more you engage in this kind of concealment, the more people feel uncandid. And it's because of this mess that they came to the aquarium and were in prison.

Zhao Ying's expression was not good at first glance.

Jiang Shan looked at Zhao Ying, wondering if he was comforted somewhere in his heart.

The previous rhetoric about demons was really not Zhao Ying's thoughts, just a certain creature here.

"What's the matter, Ashan, why are you asking this?" Zhao Ying felt that Jiang Shan had something to hide and didn't say.

Jiang Shan shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just curiosity." ”

Just curious? Zhao Ying couldn't see Jiang Shan's expression clearly, but her careful heart made her feel that this matter was not simple: "Ah Shan, no matter the one before... Whatever the creature parasitic on me says to you, you have to remember that it's not me. ”

It doesn't mean that she Zhao Ying, and she will never say or do anything to hurt Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan smiled for the first time on his face: "Don't worry, I understand." ”

The two of them leaned on a thin birthday candle to light the way forward, and Zhao Ying said: "I suddenly had an idea, even if the place we are now has deviated from the original route, no matter where it is, it is still part of the aquarium. Remember what our mission says? ”

Search the entire aquarium to find everything that could be a clue.

Since it includes the entire aquarium, so does the place where they got lost.

Jiang Shan really hadn't thought about it this before, this was an unusual way, but she naturally trusted Zhao Ying as a road idiot and felt that what Zhao Ying said made sense.

"Then we'll search carefully as we go, wherever we go." Wherever you go, it counts.

Zhao Ying laughed: "That's right. "Leave everything to the arrangement in the dark, and the end of science is metaphysics.

In this way, the mentality of the two people is different, now they are a stable group, no longer in a hurry and just want to find the so-called exit, Zhao Ying held the candle and began to carefully observe every corner he walked through.

"The secrets of the cafeteria are hidden in the back kitchen, and the secrets of the school are hidden in the dormitory, so if you only stare at the countertop, you will never find it."

Jiang Shan's heart moved, the secret of the orphanage was hidden in the old nurse's utility room?

Or is it in the dean's forever locked office?

Jiang Shanxiao diverged his thoughts a little.

"There's a door here." Zhao Ying said suddenly.

I saw that on Zhao Ying's left hand, there was really a door obliquely, and Zhao Ying was holding a candle and trying to observe the door at this time.

"It's an electronic lock." Zhao Ying seemed to be a little lucky, and reached out to push the door, "There is a high probability that it will not be used......

The door slashed open at Zhao Ying's fingertips.

All electrons are fictitious.

I actually experienced the freshness of picking locks in the ancient sliding door.

Jiang Shan immediately looked inside the door, there was a lot of space inside, and there were two rows of neat cabinets.

This pattern looks familiar.

Zhao Ying said: "Go in and have a look." ”

Zhao Ying took the lead and walked in, holding a candle to shine around, and some oil dripped from the candle and burned Zhao Ying's fingers.

Even with gloves on, she subconsciously bared her teeth.

This kind of hot feeling has not been seen for a long time. Let Zhao Ying really realize a feeling of being alive.

When the days of the end pass day by day, many people fall into a state of unconscious numbness.

"I don't think there's a door number on the door just now." Or it was eroded even if it was pasted.

Looking at the rows of cabinets, a few names could be vaguely seen on the cabinet doors, "Is it a storage place for employees' personal belongings?" ”

Anyone who has ever worked knows that many times personal belongings cannot be brought to the workplace, and some companies will give you a place to store your personal belongings and pick them up after work.

In a special place like the aquarium, you will not be allowed to bring anything to work casually.

And these cabinet doors are almost always open. Some even dropped their keys on the ground.

It's mostly empty.

Occasionally, some ashes, which are no longer recognizable, remain on the bottom of the cabinet.

I always feel that everything in this room feels like a mess.

"It feels like fleeing the scene," Zhao Ying was dumbfounded, "I took away my valuables in a hurry, and I didn't even want to lock the door anymore." ”

In the aftermath of the accident, similar scenes can be seen almost everywhere.

It's all a mess, staggering.

Some even threw the children away.

Zhao Ying has seen it with her own eyes.

Jiang Shan kept walking forward, distancing herself from Zhao Ying, her eyes could clearly see the black spots on those cabinets.

It wasn't until she reached the last row that her eyes froze. There is a locked cabinet here.

This cabinet seems to have been deliberately chosen in such an imperceptible place. Blocked by a group of open cabinet doors, if you hadn't walked to the last row, you would have barely noticed that there was a locked cabinet door.

"Zhao Ying, there is a cabinet here that is different."

When Zhao Ying heard this, she immediately walked quickly to Jiang Shan's place with a candle.

Soon she saw the locked cabinet.

The door of the cabinet seemed to have a broken code, and an old latch had been added from the outside, and the lock head was firmly attached to it.

Strangely, this cabinet seems to be different from the others.

Zhao Ying touched the lock, hard, and tried to pull again, obviously this old-fashioned lock is still quite explained.

Jiang Shan said, "Let me come." ”

I saw Jiang Shan reach up, hold the lock, and pull it directly, and the lock body deformed and fell off like a noodle in her hand.

Strange power is good.
