Chapter 10: The Wood of Norpige
When the three of them walked out of the police station, it was already past the end of work and they could go home directly.
The two of them made a demon on foot through the streets. There are many high-end restaurants in this area, and the facades are decorated in the style of different countries, and many richly dressed men hug women who are equally richly dressed, but with much less fabric.
"Will that demon come to your house to trouble you again?" A magically powered taxi drove by, and without waving a hand, Naimo let the car pick up another group of drunken guests.
"I don't know. Rick looked at the ground and walked forward. He planned to walk home on his own feet, estimated to take an hour and a half.
Naimo tilted his head to look at Rick, "How about I go to your house for the night?"
"It's crowded, don't. 」
"That's right. Namo looked up. High-rise buildings obscured most of the sky, as did the moon. He could imagine what it was like for Rick to live. Namo said, "Why don't we go to Norpig's house?"
"Clams?" Rick raised his left eyebrow.
"His hometown is also in the city, anyway, it's still early, let's go and see?What does that sentence say? Know yourself and know your opponent, and win every battle?" Naimo said in a strange voice, took out a walnut, and dripped blood on it to cast a spell. The walnut grew to resemble a water tower, and then burst open, and four snakes crawled out of it with a turquoise body and a bright red tail. Half of the shell was gone, and the other half was carried by four snakes and tied to their backs with invisible spell threads, which was the vehicle that Naimo had prepared. Passers-by stared at this thing in amazement.
"Invincible. Nick suspected that Nemo had memorized the original sentence at all. He crossed his hand on his chest and said, "Can't you summon a normal mount?"
"When I was a kid, I was okay, but a few years ago I suddenly couldn't. Naimo pretended to be serious. He and Lisna pierced the wall directly into the walnut shell.
"You're not worried about running into him in Norpig's hometown?"
"An, just look at your face and know that kind of person will go anywhere, but she won't go back to her starting point. 」
Rick climbed into the walnut shell and headed for Norpig's hometown. At this time, the street lights on the street came on.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Nopige's hometown is in the essence of the city, it is a detached family, covering an area of more than 100 square meters.
It is a mansion with quite a long history. In this country, the upper class began to become popular to build more and more westernized houses. The house itself is built in modern fashion, and the layout resembles a foreigner's house, but the decoration is in a traditional style. The outermost edge is a ring of brick facades, covered with red tiles. Naimo put one hand around Lisina's waist and the other on Rick's shoulder, and the three of them entered directly through the wall.
They entered the yard, which was overgrown with weeds, and in the haystack he vaguely recognized a few precious flowers that had not been cared for. There should have been more beautiful plants in the past, probably all dug up and sold.
They cut through knee-high grass, went straight to the nearest wall, and went through the wall again into the room. Rick was busy plucking the seeds from under his robe. Naimo turns on the lights to illuminate the room. There is still a supply of electricity.
The air in the room was slightly cool, and there was no flow at all. Except for the smell of dust, all other smells have disappeared because of too much time. Xi Keguang knew that there had been no one living here for a long time, not even the homeless people who sneaked in to spend the night.
The first room they entered, with rows of iron cabinets and no windows, was lined with walls. The wooden floor was covered with a layer of dust, and several laundry baskets full of aprons were piled up in the corners. This was supposed to be the servant's lounge.
Namo casually opened two cabinets to look, and all that was left was empty bottles and cans that had been discarded.
After Rick had cleaned the seeds from his clothes, they continued on their way.
The part that is known about the Snowsan murder is that when Norpige was eighteen years old, he finished high school, and as a matter of course, he went on to go to college. Of course, he didn't go to an ordinary university, but to enter a mage university. At that time, invitations from all over the country and Shijie poured into Shi Sang's house like snowflakes, and the invitations could be lined up from the street to the end of the street. But one university did not give him an invitation. It is the country's premier mage university, recognized as the best and internationally renowned university in the country.
Shi Sang's family wrote to inquire, and the other party's reply was: Tuition-free treatment is only provided to students from poor families, and the school has no channel for exempt admission, and it will not be a special exception.
Shi Sanjia refused to accept the invitation of other universities just like that, insisting that the university give Norpig free admission without examination, and he waited for the invitation from that university.
As a result, the wait was over, and Norpige did not enter any university.
Two years ago, a year after Nopige had not been at home at school, he suddenly turned all the humans in the house, including his parents and sisters, relatives, servants, and guests into wood, and disappeared.
When they returned through the side door, they saw a room full of people turned to wood, and the news reported the scene as follows: "A brilliant sculptor is in this room, framing everyday scenes with countless statues." 」
Those people were still doing their own thing. Sewing clothes, sweeping the floor, chopping vegetables, weeding, or chatting secretly, their expressions are either bored or laughing, but they are still on their faces, and they remain frozen in that moment and turn into wooden statues.
A reporter managed to slip through the blockade and photographed the daughter of the Shi Sang family sitting in a chair, holding a teacup in one hand, looking down at the other hand and turning the pages of a book. Her fingers gripped the handle slightly, and her other hand extended the arc of the paper, and her hair was softly draped over her shoulders, hanging down her waist and hanging on the back of the chair and armrests. Except that her skin was covered with wood grains and the color of her skin could no longer be seen, the wooden statue was lifelike. This photo made the newspaper a big seller and at the same time was fined a lot of money.
The two handymen were so frightened that they only remembered to inform the police, who were so shaky in the police station that they couldn't even speak clearly. The police saw that they looked panicked and came to check. At first, the police thought it was a special exhibition of portraits of people with families as a venue, and they walked around among the dead to see if anyone was injured. It wasn't until an expert was called in that everyone had to accept the fact that they were all alive, and they were dead.
No sculptor can carve such fine hair out of wood, and it is carved out of the same piece of wood as the statue, without splicing. The fibers of the wood are all in the same direction as the texture of a human, and it is impossible to find the structure it should have as a tree, and even gardening experts cannot make the tree grow into this shape.
After that, the house was tidied up, the wooden statues were removed, and they were cremated and buried.
Conversion can change materials, but cannot create life. Its ultimate vision is to transform one life into another, and it is impossible to cross from inanimate to animate. Even if an organism were to be created, it would only be a corpse.
It's a one-way street, and those who turn into death can't turn back.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The three of them looked around the room. Unlike the exterior, the interior is relatively new, so it has a more exotic feel. The floor is covered with imported woven patterned carpets, the windows are stained with inlaid glass, and the living room has a huge decorative fireplace.
"I wonder if all my belongings have been moved?" Naimo said. He remembered to turn off the lights along the way.
"I think there's still a lot left. Xi Ke stood in front of a wall covered with flower wallpaper, on which hung several photos, most of them scenic photos of Shijie's famous attractions, but also many empty hooks. The person who inherited the house probably knew that it couldn't be sold before Nopig Volfa, so he didn't clean it up very seriously.
"Who are the Silken family?" asked Namo.
"Parents, eldest daughter, eldest son, Nopige, second daughter is the one exposed in the photo, and a concubine. Xi Ke memorized the information, and he didn't need to take the note paper out to read it. The Congenital Mage has nothing to do with family genetics, only Nopig is the Innate Mage in this family, and the others are not even Mages.
They ran around the house, and on a bookshelf in a study, they found a covered family photograph of the members of the same family as Xi Ke had said.
The photograph was taken in a garden, and the Norpig family are all dressed in gorgeous banquet dresses, standing in the middle of a bright green meadow and smiling at the camera, with the same brightly colored blue sky and white clouds in the background, and the location of the photo may not be in China.
Norpige's father was slightly chubby, had a short beard, and had a prominent beer belly. His wife, who was a little older than her husband, held a parasol and pursed her lips trying to squeeze out a smile, but the dissatisfaction remained in the photo. The daughters of this family sat on two chairs in front of them, and the layers of skirts completely submerged the chairs and dragged them to the ground.
Nopige stood in the middle of the front row, about fourteen years old. At this time he looked like a shy boy with a slightly chubby face, round eyes and nose, and short, stiff hair. The sleeves of his gown had a special design, the same wide sleeves as the mage's robes. He imitated the mage's habit of burying his hands in his sleeves and looking at the camera with a slight bow.
There is also a person in the photo, which can be speculated to be a concubine. The woman was in the prime of her youth, standing to the right hand of Norpige's father. She has a perfect goose egg face, delicate and bewitching makeup, wearing a close-fitting and eye-catching fishtail gown, holding a crocodile leather bag, and smiling extremely presumptuously.
"The atmosphere in this home is probably not too good. Naimo raised an eyebrow. Rick thinks so, too.
It was written on the note that Norpig's mother was extremely disgusted with the concubine, and even threatened to kill Norpige's father to break up with the concubine, but Norpig's father was indifferent. After that, her status became even lower when she did not dare to realize the threat of suicide, and the concubine entered the house and appeared in front of the guests openly.
On the day Norpige's family was turned to wood, the concubine disappeared. Since the police investigation had a quarrel with Nopig's father before that day, she may have left on her own before that day.
They walked around, and when they entered a locked room through the walls, they saw a lot of boxes piled up in the room, full of photo albums and stuff. This room was originally a guest room, not a warehouse.
"Something that people don't want to see. Nai Mole hehe, changed his gloves and began to flip.
They found that the certificates of thanks, commendations, etc., that people from all over Shijie gave to Norpig, were really ironic compared to Norpig's current situation.
Naimo also flipped through a large newspaper clipping, and sat on the ground with Xike and read it.
On the back of one of the interviews was an advertisement for a textbook, which seemed to be published in an educational journal. It's a very common kind of interview where a child is very talented, so he interviews his parents and asks them what their educational policy is. The so-called "promising child" naturally refers to Norpig.
The previous headline said that the reporter saw Nopige as a "gentle, shy, and polite child, and although he had enough liliang to change Shijie, he would not hurt even an ant." 」
When asked by a reporter how Norpig's father taught his children to help others, Norpig's father said, "I have always told him since I was a child that his liliang was only there to help the weak and powerless people on Shijie. 」
Nemo and Rick both frowned.
"I told him that he is closely related to this shijie, so he should always be aware of his behavior, and he should set an example for those who are susceptible to bad influences, so that they know what is the right way to live. 」
Nemo and Rick's eyes narrowed.
Nopigue's father, Zuihou, said, "As long as he understands how important he is, he will not abuse liliang and will be able to serve others wholeheartedly. 」
The corners of Naimo and Rick's mouths pressed down with disdain.
"No one is important enough to be the center of Shijie. Naimo said, "It's no wonder that this kind of education based on lies succeeds. 」
Nick doesn't have a very clear reason for opposing it, but he also doesn't like this kind of education policy, he always thinks that children should have a child's life, instead of being born like a prime minister, and every word and deed must be magnified and explained. Norpige's father's requirements for Norpig's are difficult for even adults who have already entered the society to do, and he always feels that it is wrong to use this standard to demand children.
Naimo flipped to another report. This is not positive news, nor is it negative news, but a report that "someone reported negative news, and the Ssang family refuted it". From the beginning of the part you can see the general content of the negative news, it seems that Norpige asked a person who had received his help to thank him, but the other party refused, so Norpige poured the whole pot of hot water on the other party, fortunately the other party flashed quickly, the upper body dodged, and his feet were burned extensively.
A spokesman for Mr. Ssin's family said it was natural to be thanked for help, and that there was a reason why Nopige was angry. But they didn't say if they thought the cause was big enough to put a person at risk of death without shame.
"I've heard about it. Naimo said.
"Oh?"
"The man who was burned was already speaking quietly, and Norpig didn't hear him the first time he thanked him, and it is said that Norpig's tone of 'talking to stupid pigs' asked him to thank him loudly - of course he refused. 」
Rick's brow furrowed. It's one thing to say thank you after getting help, it's another thing to be verbally abused and asked to thank you after getting help - it feels like even if that person says thank you, Norpig won't return the daoqian he deserves. "How did that end?" asked Ricke.
"The person who was burned is daoqian. Norpige does not have a daoqian. Naimo raised an eyebrow, "If I had to say, there must have been more cases like this that were suppressed before they even hit the media. There are rumors circulating in the black market that he has robbed his classmates' belongings since he was a child, and he once touched his classmates to steal toys. Maybe he thinks it's all just a 'word of gratitude' to him?"
Naimo pulled out another wooden box and found Norpig's notebook inside. The notebook reads "Growth Diary" in the child's handwriting. He thought that this kind of name should only appear in the life notebook that parents made for their children, but when he opened it, he found that it was written by Norpige himself to his parents and teachers every day.
It reads, "Today...... Bad for me, I shouldn't be angry. People like me who have liliang can't get angry over trivial things...... I shouldn't be angry about the juice thing, the strong should be tolerant of the weak...... I have to be tolerant because they can't do better......
"Sounds like an enhanced version of the autosuggestion we listened to?" Rick said.
"Anyone will go crazy if they hear too much of this kind of thing. Naimo flipped through the instructions written by Norpig's father, and he had to show it to his parents, and he didn't know who came up with it.
Nopige's father wrote many compliments on it.
