Chapter 249 Clues
The piece of rag seemed to be floating between two worlds - Yu Sheng didn't know why he made such a judgment, but when he saw it shaking half-real and half-unreal in the corner of the wall, he couldn't help but have this association in his mind.
The other end of the rag did not seem to be fixed very firmly, and Yu Sheng did not feel much resistance when he pulled it over. He pulled it to "this side" and clearly saw that the surface of the cloth suddenly solidified, and the originally blurred edge outline became clear in an instant. At the same time, the wind swirling in the room also became a little stronger, but only for a moment, and the wind returned to normal.
Was it because his action of "pulling" the object to "this side" temporarily strengthened the connection between the two sides? Or was it just that the wind on the "other side" really got stronger for a moment? Yu Sheng had a brief thought in his mind, and his eyes fell on the rag.
It looks like it was torn from a larger piece of cloth, and the edges are jagged. The cloth itself is very light and soft, but very strong. It must have taken a lot of force to tear it off, which shows some kind of superb weaving skills.
Yu Sheng turned the cloth over again and saw that there were beautiful light gold patterns printed on the other side. Those golden patterns were arranged on the edge of the dark blue cloth like a series of artistic words, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
After studying it for a while, he took out his mobile phone and found the photo he had taken of the "iron lump". After zooming in, he observed the runes on the surface of the iron lump and compared them with the pattern on the cloth.
Yu Sheng felt that the two styles seemed somewhat similar, but he did not dare to jump to conclusions, after all, he was not a professional in this field.
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps finally came from the direction of the corridor, mixed with the noise of a puppet: "Hey, you said he just opened the door and left, we still have to run so far to the platform to open the portal... Your tail is blocking my face... Hey, why is it so cold, is the heating in the room turned off or the window... What the hell?!"
Yu Sheng turned his head and saw Hu Li appear at the door. The 66.6 cm tall Irene rushed out from between Hu Li's tail and skirt like a small rocket. She didn't see what was happening in the house at all. As a result, she slid forward on the ice and snow on the ground. The next second, she slammed into the opposite wall with a scream. The sound of her pia was so crisp...
After a while, Irene got up from the ground and took a deep breath. No. 66 Wutong Road was suddenly filled with the melodious sounds of birdsong and flowers. The puppet's mouth looked like it had been smeared with suppositories...
But she calmed down when Yu Sheng went over and picked her up.
"What the hell is going on? What's going on? What's going on..." Irene was hung in the air by Yu Sheng's collar, staring at the room with wide eyes, "This is even more outrageous than last time. I tell you, it's like a snowstorm blowing through the area, right...hiss!"
The little doll realized it belatedly and shivered, hugging his arms. He turned his head and looked at the image reflected in the mirror: "Lenglengleng, Yusheng, you still have to buy me two down jackets..."
"Where can I find a down jacket for a 66cm tall doll?" Yu Sheng glared at the little doll, "Besides, are you afraid of the cold as a doll?"
"If you're not afraid of the cold, then you can't be afraid of the cold?" Irene twisted her body. "I just won't freeze to death easily, but I'm not frozen... Ah, thank you, silly fox~"
A cluster of blue fox fire floated over and circled around Irene, quickly dispelling the coldness around them. Hu Li was surrounded by more blue fire. He walked into the house and looked around while replying, "I'm not stupid. You're much dumber than me."
"I just picked this up from the corner of the wall," Yu Sheng took out the cloth in his other hand and shook it before Irene and Hu Li started arguing. "I think its previous state was like floating between two worlds. I just compared it with the iron lump in the photo. The patterns on the two are somewhat similar."
As expected, Irene's attention was diverted instantly. She grabbed the strip of cloth in Yu Sheng's hand and began to study it - of course, she couldn't understand it.
"The guy who gave it to the Secret Service last time hasn't replied yet, and now there's another piece of rag," Miss Doll muttered, "What should I do? Should I give it to them? I always feel that they are not very reliable..."
"I can't find anyone more reliable. I can't just go out and find two 'masters' dealing in fake antiques," Yu Sheng shook his head. "Besides, it's hard to figure out this kind of 'strange thing' in a short time. It's normal that they didn't reply... Anyway, I have to show it to them later. Maybe they can figure out something by putting it together with the iron lump from before."
Irene uttered "oh" in a long tone, and Hu Li walked over from the side, looking curiously at the mirror that was reflecting the scene of the cave, and his expression gradually became a little serious.
"What are you looking at, silly fox?" Irene raised her head curiously, "Is there something strange in the mirror?"
Hu Li frowned and looked for a long time, as if he had really discovered something: "My benefactor, do you think these are footprints?"
"Footprints?" Yu Sheng was startled when he heard this and quickly walked over. "Where are they?"
"These," Hu Li pointed at the cave in the mirror with a serious face, "There is a big rock here, and there seem to be footprints on the snow next to the rock. There are also traces of cleaning here, which looks like someone has been here."
With the guidance of the fox girl, Yu Sheng finally noticed the details that he had once overlooked.
Shallow footprints and traces of melted snow were scattered around the cave entrance. Although they had become difficult to distinguish over time, there was no doubt that they were traces left by humans - and not for long.
"...There are people moving across here, and someone came here recently." Irene blinked, looked in the mirror, and then looked down at the rag. "And the strip of cloth this time, and the 'iron lump' I saw last time... What on earth is that cave? Does someone come here regularly to throw things in there?"
Of course Yu Sheng had no answer.
Just then, he noticed that the snowstorm in the room was rapidly weakening.
The cold air began to fade, and the snowflakes that appeared out of nowhere through the wall blew onto my face, turning into an illusion of only a slight coolness. The scene in the mirror seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and then the mist dissipated, and the cave scenery in the mirror disappeared - the cold wind in the room also stopped completely.
"... My benefactor, the snow and wind on the opposite side have stopped." Hu Li murmured softly.
Yu Sheng raised his head and looked towards the corner, and saw that the accumulated snowflakes were disappearing out of thin air, while the "cloth strip" in his hand remained the same as the mysterious metal parts last time.
"The connection is broken," Yu Sheng said thoughtfully, recalling the scene he saw in the room last time, and frowned slightly, "Could it be that... when a blizzard appears on the 'other side', the connection will be restored?"
No one could answer his questions.
Yu Sheng took Hu Li and the doll out of the room and locked the door carefully again.
"I'll have to buy a camera and install it in the room, facing the mirror," he said as he stood at the door, "one with cloud storage and playback capabilities."
"It's better to buy a few more and take pictures of all the corners," Irene said casually as she nimbly turned over and climbed onto Yu Sheng's shoulder. "I suspect that when the 'connection' is established, it's not just the mirror that will change. Did you notice that the snowflakes are 'blown' directly from the corners of the opposite wall and the roof... Of course, I suspect that even if a camera is installed, nothing useful will be captured."
"Anyway, install it first."
Yu Sheng muttered something, then turned back to the room, carefully spread out the strip of cloth that he had pulled from the "opposite side" on the bed, with the patterned side facing up, and took out his cell phone to take several photos in succession.
"You said Baili Qing is now..."
Yu Sheng had just finished speaking when Irene poked him on the head: "You must be sleeping. Are you a human being? It's four in the morning! At least find someone else to do it..."
"Well, that's true. She seems to have a lot of resentment." Yu Sheng thought about it and felt that what Irene said made sense, so he turned to open the "Border Communication" on his mobile phone, found the section for strange object exchanges, and posted a message like last time -
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I found another strange thing. It's the same mysterious object that appeared in the snowy room last time. It's a torn piece of cloth. The size is... There are patterns on the surface... For other details, please refer to my last post."
Yu Sheng's idea was quite simple. No one knew about this thing anyway, and sending it to the Secret Service would not yield any results in a short time. It would be better to cast a wide net and ask everywhere. Posting was free, so what if he could hook an expert one day?
It turns out that the master also goes to bed at four in the morning.
The post was sent out for nearly half an hour but there was not a single click.
As Yu Sheng waited, he began to feel sleepy. He lay down on the bed and prepared to take a nap. However, just as he was about to close his eyes, his cell phone buzzed.
Hu Li, who was about to turn around and walk towards the door, turned around and came back. He stared at the words that popped up on the phone screen with his big eyes, recognized them and nodded: "My benefactor, someone has replied to your message. It's called 'Three Thousand Evil Disciples'."
"It's really time..." Yu Sheng picked up the phone on the bedside table. Just as he was about to open it, he suddenly realized something and looked up at the fox girl in surprise, "Wait, do you know these words?!"
"Yeah," Hu Li nodded, "I have learned enough for daily use."
Yu Sheng: “…When did you learn this?!”
Hu Li took out the old mobile phone that Yu Sheng had given her before: "I learned a lot while fiddling with this, and I also learned a lot when I watched Irene swearing at people online."
Yu Sheng was completely shocked: "You... I was thinking of teaching you these things after the 'Fairy Tale' thing was over and I had time. Your learning ability is too strong, isn't it?!"
Hu Li said nothing, just scratched his hair and smiled foolishly at Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng then set his gaze on Irene, who was daydreaming beside him.
The IQ Depression at No. 66 Wutong Road had no idea what was going on. He turned his head and looked at Yu Sheng blankly and clearly: "What are you doing?"
Yu Sheng looked at the doll with a caring look and touched its head: "It's nothing, just play by yourself."
"oh."
Yu Sheng clicked on the message sent to him by "Evil Disciple Three Thousand" - this was the first time he had contact with this person since the other party replied to his last message in the previous post.
The other party only sent one picture.
It was another scrap of cloth—the pattern on its edge was exactly the same as the one on the strip in his hand.
