Chapter 37: The Locked Room
"I definitely didn't fail the final exam this time!" Su Qiqi seemed to be very sure that in fact, she didn't have a final exam at all, and the end of the world had already come before the end of the term.
It seemed that asking her directly wouldn't reveal anything, so she was going to take a look at her room while her mother was away, to see if it was still full of notes, or if there was anything new to discover.
"Gone, gone. When you go home, read less extracurricular books. ”
Su's mother took all the dishes to zero, lined up to pay, and led Su Qiqi home.
When passing through the third floor, Su Qiqi paused for a while, glanced at the door of the east house that had been pasted with a big red couplet, and only then raised his feet and walked up the stairs under the urging of Su's mother.
Today is as simple as an ordinary day before the end of the world, tomorrow Su Mu will go to work, and there will be no holiday until Chinese New Year's Eve.
So tomorrow is a good time for Su Qiqi to check her room, if her room is still the long table, then how does she usually sleep?
And I'm going to visit Aunt Yu to see what information I can get from her.
Su Qiqi was so preoccupied that he lay on the bed, planning what he would do tomorrow.
Thinking about it, drowsiness came like a tide, and Su Qiqi fell asleep.
……
When Su Qiqi woke up, Su's mother had already gone out to work.
She was still a little sleepy, but she lost her sleepiness when she thought about what she was going to do next.
"It's safe to sleep in a bed you're familiar with." Su Qiqi patted the small bed that had been with him for more than ten years, feeling that he hadn't slept so soundly for a long time.
Even though she knew that this was just an illusion and that danger could lurk around her at any time, she still couldn't help but let her guard down.
Su Qiqi sighed, opened her door, and a tightly closed door appeared in front of her.
For as long as she can remember, it seems that her mother has always kept the door of her room closed, and not once has it been open.
However, she had often entered Su's mother's room before, and it was very ordinary, just a wardrobe and a bed.
I don't know when it became Sumu's laboratory?
Listening to what Aunt Yu said before she died, and judging from Su's mother's message, she has been in contact with things related to the end times for a long time, even before she was born.
Su Qiqi felt that her legs were a little heavy, she took two steps forward with some difficulty, held the handle of Su's mother's room, and twisted it hard,
Locked.
It's the same room as the one I went to in reality this morning, it's locked!
Su Qiqi's hands trembled slightly, and he summoned a dark blue flame, which entered through the gap in the lock cylinder, and easily fused it.
Su Qiqi pursed his lips and opened the door.
I saw that it was covered with paper, much more than in reality, and it was obvious that when Su Mu left, she took most of the notes with her.
So why did you leave those notes, you were in too much of a hurry to take them all with you? Or is that part unimportant?
Still is! That's what Su's mother left her?
Su Qiqi looked at everything around him in a daze.
She took a few steps forward and looked at the notes on the wall, there were many more experimental conditions for other monsters, from A to Y-level, and the notes left by Su Mu were all Y-level, that is, the most ordinary level.
What did she leave her with the conditions for the monster experiment?
Do you want her to create monsters? Or experiment with monsters?
Su Qiqi was puzzled and didn't understand Su Mu's true intentions.
The table here is full of test tubes, which contain liquids of all colors, and even a few of them are emitting white smoke.
Looking through the notes on the wall for a long time, Su Qiqi didn't find any new clues, and Su Qiqi didn't dare to poke at random with the liquid on the table.
If the liquid was lethally toxic, or if it contained a reagent that could create monsters, her momentary curiosity might cost her life.
Su Qiqi closed the door, and as for the lock cylinder that had been burned, she had no way to restore it, but she could just take a look at what Su Mu would do when she came home and saw that the lock was broken.
Back in his room, Su Qiqi changed his clothes, walked downstairs, and knocked on the door of the east house on the third floor.
"Aunt Yu, are you at home?"
"Who?" A teenager's voice came from inside.
"I, Su Qiqi." Su Qiqi replied.
"Squeak", the door opened, and a clean young man appeared at the door, and asked Su Qiqi in front of him with some doubts: "Sister Qiqi, is there something wrong?" ”
Su Qiqi looked at the young man in front of him, this person was Aunt Yu's son Hongyuan, a very polite and enthusiastic teenager, but unfortunately he turned into a monster in the end.
"I have something to do with Aunt Yu. Is Aunt Yu at home? Su Qiqi looked into the room as she spoke, and saw Aunt Yu waving her hand to her inside, letting her in.
Although Hongyuan was surprised that Su Qiqi could say anything to his mother, he still let Su Qiqi in.
"Aunt Yu, how are you doing when you come in?" Su Qiqi said hello to the middle-aged woman sitting on the sofa.
"Qiqi, what are you looking for me, don't stand, sit down." Aunt Yu patted the position next to her very enthusiastically and pulled Su Qiqi to sit next to her.
"That's Aunt Yu, didn't I just come home from vacation? I felt something strange about my mom. Su Qiqi frowned and said to Aunt Yu.
"Oh? What's wrong? Let's hear it. A woman of Aunt Yu's age likes to listen to such gossip the most, and when she heard Su Qiqi say that her mother was a little strange, she immediately pricked up her ears.
"My mom was always tinkering with weird things, and she couldn't come out of the room. Aunt Yu, do you know what happened recently? ”
Su Qiqi stretched out his hand to take the water handed over by Hongyuan, and after thanking him, he asked Aunt Yu with a puzzled expression.
"Harm, what are you talking about? What did I think? Aunt Yu patted her thigh and said.
"Huh? What's wrong with this? Su Qiqi was really puzzled this time, Aunt Yu's indifferent appearance must not know the truth of the matter, so what did she think?
"Your mother said she had a distant relative, an old Chinese medicine doctor. The old Chinese medicine doctor said that there was no one to inherit her medical skills, and she would pass them on to your mother. Aunt Yu smiled and took Su Qiqi's hand, and said to Su Qiqi with some blame: "Your mother probably forgot to tell you, you can ask directly if you have anything, what secrets can you mother and daughter have, right?" ”
It seems that the mother has found an excuse to cover up the past.
"But this old Chinese medicine doctor really has some ability, and prescribed me a few decoctions, although the taste of this medicine is really strange, but the effect is really good, I have been in pain for more than 20 years, and my waist is not painful!"
Su Qiqi suddenly felt that Aunt Yu was holding her hand so cold.
