Chapter 008 Bracelet
Although I had a flashlight, it was of little use as I couldn't see anything in the dark fog.
I could only slowly find the coffin according to the approximate location I remembered, feeling the edge of the coffin with my hand, and I was extremely nervous.
I lay on the edge of the coffin and looked inside with a flashlight. It was so foggy inside that it was difficult to see people.
I suppressed my fear and hesitated for a while before reaching my hand in. At this point, I was ready to give it my all. After touching it again and again, I really touched a hand, and it felt smooth and greasy. When I was dating Wang Yue, we also held hands. At that time, I felt it was really delicate, but at this moment, I felt extremely disgusted and scared.
I took a deep breath and touched down. There was nothing on this hand, so I switched to the other hand. Suddenly, my whole body was shocked and I really touched a bracelet. The bracelet was tightly buckled on Wang Yue's right wrist, and it felt like it was made of metal.
I gently pulled it down, trying to take it off my wrist, but found that the bracelet was fastened tightly.
I tried to rub it several times but couldn't move it. I didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting Wang Yue's wrist. At this time, Li Daming asked in the dark: "Have you found it?"
I said, "I found it, but I couldn't take it off. It was too tight."
Li Daming didn't come over and was still in the dark. He thought for a moment and said, "Try another way."
I tried it again and it was indeed too tight, and I started sweating a little. At this moment, I suddenly felt a gap at the bottom of the bracelet, and my heart skipped a beat, thinking, "No way."
Isn't this bracelet meant to be worn but buckled on?
I tried to touch the gap. It was very thin, like a spider silk. I gently broke it with my hand. In the silence, I heard a crisp "click" sound. It seemed that some mechanism was opened. The bracelet actually fell off Wang Yue's wrist!
I quickly took the bracelet out of the coffin. At this moment, the recording on my phone continued to play: "Lin Cong, put it on!"
My throat moved and all the hairs on my body stood up. How did Wang Yue know that I would take off the bracelet at this time? She was so accurate.
"Li Daming, did you do it?" I asked.
"What? You mean recording?" Li Daming said, "I swear to God, I didn't even touch my phone."
"Then...how did she know that I took off the bracelet?" I felt a chill on the back of my neck.
"Don't worry about those things, just put it on first." Li Daming urged.
I was disgusted from the bottom of my heart, what was the secret of this bracelet, it didn't look like a good thing. I hesitated for a long time, and then reluctantly put the bracelet on my right wrist, pinched the two ends and pressed gently, and with a "click", it was tightly fastened, which could be said to be a perfect fit.
At this moment, my vision suddenly became clear, and I could see through the black fog. I clearly saw Li Daming sitting cross-legged on the ground not far away, staring at his phone on the ground with a frown on his face.
I looked at the coffin again, and the masked man in the coffin, everything was so clear.
Li Daming asked, "Have you put it on?"
He was still staring at his phone. I slowly walked towards him, but he didn't even look up, probably because he couldn't see me. I suddenly realized that this bracelet was indeed magical, it could help me break through the fog and enhance my vision.
At this time, Wang Yue's voice continued to play in the phone: "You put on the bracelet, very good! The bracelet is the first thing. If you walk in front of the wall with it, you will find the second thing."
I began to find it interesting, Wang Yue's design was really one thing after another. I turned on the flashlight and started walking along the four walls, raising my wrist to carefully observe the reaction of the bracelet.
I walked past one wall, and the bracelet didn't change at all. When I walked to the next wall, the pattern on the bracelet suddenly lit up. I raised my eyebrows. There were many strange patterns engraved on this metal bracelet. I couldn't tell what the pattern was. At that moment, the pattern seemed to be electrified.
I came to the wall and looked carefully. There was a very strange mural on it. A person was standing on a log on a cliff, surrounded by black smoke. This log was part of a huge and complex maze, which meant that the whole maze was suspended over a deep abyss. The person was in it, very lonely and dangerous.
I looked at it again and again but couldn't understand what it meant, and the light on the bracelet kept flashing.
I lifted up the bracelet and looked at it and the mural carefully. Suddenly, I was shocked. Could the texture on the bracelet be part of the maze in the mural?
It was as if a thousand ants were crawling in my heart, and my throat was moving up and down. I seemed to understand but not understand. Just as I was about to study it carefully, Li Daming suddenly asked, "Did you find it?"
I looked back at him and saw that Li Daming had actually stood up and was walking towards the coffin with a flashlight. He probably thought I was still there.
I quickly said, "Found it. But the situation is a little strange."
I clearly saw Li Daming in front of the coffin, reaching in to touch it. I felt unhappy. If you have any action, please discuss it with me. Why are you acting so rashly?
"Damin, what are you doing?" I shouted at the top of my voice.
Li Daming froze, and immediately retracted his hand outside the coffin, laughing: "I'm at the coffin, aren't you there?"
"I'm by the wall," I said.
Li Daming probably couldn't see me. He turned his head sideways and suddenly asked, "Can you see me?"
I said, "After putting on this bracelet, the black fog in front of my eyes disappeared. With the flashlight, the scene in the room is very clear."
Li Daming murmured something, which was not clear. He seemed to be saying, "So that's how it is."
His next words, his voice raised, “What did you find there?”
"I found a painting." I said, "The bracelet reacted when it came in front of the painting. There was light. Wait..."
I suddenly found something strange. The texture on the bracelet really matched a certain maze area in the mural. I leaned over to compare it and found that it was exactly the same. I thought about it and tried to move my hand on the mural. The direction and route were exactly the lines that lit up on the bracelet.
My fingertips slid gently along the clues, and when I reached the last end, I heard a few creaking sounds on the wall, and suddenly a dark shadow appeared. I reacted quickly and dodged, but fortunately I didn't get hit.
It turned out that there was a window in the wall, and a person was clearly visible in the "window". I was not prepared, and I was almost scared to death. It took me a long time to react. I looked carefully and found that the person in the window was me. In other words, there was a mirror in the window.
Although I knew it was a mirror, I felt uncomfortable looking at the figure inside, so I quickly looked away. At this time, a voice came from the phone: "Lin Cong, you found both things, very good. Now you have to find someone else. Only with him can you help us."
I was really annoyed and retorted, "I am helping you... I am on a pirate ship."
"Listen carefully." Wang Yue said on the phone, "He is in Room 506 on the fifth floor of Jingming Building. You'd better go visit him tomorrow morning and find a man named Uncle Zhong. Then show him the bracelet and he will take care of it."
I listened carefully, and the sound stopped and the recording was gone.
I walked over quickly and picked up the phone from the ground. There were only these few recording files. In other words, this was the only information I could get at the moment.
Li Daming came over in the dark: "Lin Cong, are you there?"
"You heard the recording just now." I said, "Now the matter stops here. We must find that Uncle Zhong."
Li Daming sighed: "What a shame. I have to catch a plane to Fujian early tomorrow morning."
To be honest, I really didn't like his behavior of touching the coffin just now. I didn't want too many people to get involved in the next thing, so I didn't say anything to keep him.
"You're going for a week?" I asked.
Li Daming nodded subconsciously, rubbing his hands and saying, "I'll try to get back as soon as possible. This is so interesting."
"Damin," I said, "We are not playing a game. This is very complicated and weird. In my opinion, this is a very serious matter. You'd better keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone."
Li Daming is a shrewd man. Hearing my tone, he snorted, "I am worried about you. Just stop shouting to call the police."
I told him that there was nothing to see here and we should wait until we find that person tomorrow.
We came to the bedroom door, and it was amazing that the door could be opened, as if Wang Yue was controlling everything behind the scenes. Opening the bedroom door meant that I had done everything she asked me to do . What to do next could only be decided in the next step.
The two of us came out of the bedroom, and Li Daming said, it's really strange, the black smoke didn't come out of the door, as if it was trapped in the bedroom .
He and I came to the living room, where there was light. Li Daming held my wrist and looked at the bracelet carefully. He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I think I have guessed what the black smoke is about."
I asked why.
He said: "When we lit the eternal lamp, we all smelled the smell inside. It is very likely that we were trapped by some kind of illusion, and the black smoke is part of the illusion. Only by wearing the bracelet can we break the fog illusion. So you will be fine if you wear it, but I can only be trapped in the black smoke." He pondered for a moment: "Perhaps this is a way for Wang Yue to protect himself."
"Damin, otherwise just don't get involved in what happens next." I struggled for a long time and said through gritted teeth.
Li Daming looked at me with a gloomy expression and was very unhappy.
I vaguely felt that what happened next might involve Wang Yue’s most secret privacy and should not be known to other people.
