Chapter 13 Diary

I concentrate on calculating the numbers on paper, and it is very likely that I will go astray. The hidden rules between numbers may be extremely simple, but it is hard to imagine. As long as I find the right path and the way, the crack will be in front of me.

The number 6 starts... Why is this happening? These numbers appear in the bardo realm. In order to trap the bardo body, is it related to Wang Yue himself?

Wang Yue herself... My thoughts were free and I recalled the time I dated her. What I remember most was that she had a birthday one time. After get off work that day, she was mysteriously taken to a private room in a restaurant. I thought it was just an ordinary meal, but I didn't expect that the light suddenly dimmed and a waiter came in with a birthday cake. I was extremely shocked at the time and asked her if it was her birthday. She nodded. I sighed and told her, why didn't I tell me in advance that I would prepare a gift. Wang Yue held my hand and said softly, Lin Cong, you are my best birthday gift.

After that day, I was completely immersed in a sweet feeling, that was when I was officially dating Wang Yue.

I shook my head and tried to recall the scene that day, and the days that day slowly emerged. Looking at the numbers on the paper, I suddenly realized something, opened my phone and entered the Du Niang, wrote down keywords in the search bar, and searched.

Ten minutes later, I breathed a sigh of relief and said to the others in the living room: "Two, I've cracked it."

Uncle Zhong and Li Damin looked up at me. Li Damin seemed to be a little unbelievable: "Have you cracked it?"

I nodded: "Wang Yue was born in 1995, and she is 24 years old this year. Her birthday is the sixth day of the fifth lunar month of the lunar calendar. The first 612 is her tenth year, that is, her birthday in 2005, the Gregorian calendar, June 12. The second 601 is her birthday when she was eleven in 2006, and June 1 on the Gregorian calendar. Inferred in turn, the set of numbers that are vacant are her birthday when she was thirteen, that is, the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, June 9, which is 609."

Li Damin went to take a closer look, slapped his head and said a few times: "It's true."

"The answer is very simple, it is her Gregorian birthday." I said.

Uncle Zhong said: "Now, when I go back to the room, I will let you enter the country, and you will tell her the cracking result."

Suddenly Li Damin waved his hand: "Wait!"

When we looked at him, he blinked and said, "I think it's strange. Since the answer is Wang Yue's birthday, then as the person involved, she should know more than anyone else. Why didn't she crack it herself?"

I said, "When I met Wang Yue in the bardo realm just now, she told me that she was also in the state of soul-lossing. Because she did not have the support of her body, many of her memories and abilities were stripped away. This is also the reason why she asked for help from outside."

Li Damin thought about it, but seemed to have wanted to say something but didn't say it out, and nodded.

The three of us returned to the room. It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night. After untiing the numbers, I was really tired, but I was still persisting. Uncle Zhong did it and I was in the mirror again. This time it was very strange that I didn't hear Wang Yue's recordings play. I walked forward ten steps directly, came to the wall, reached out to touch the groove and bracelet.

"Wang Yue, are you here?" I asked.

"At." A sound came from the other side of the wall.

"I've cracked the numbers," I said, "It's 609. It's the sixth day of your birthday, May 2008."

"Thirteen years old..." Wang Yue murmured, "My thirteen years old."

"I don't understand why you don't even know your birthday?" I asked, "Do you have no memory in the bardo realm?"

Wang Yue seemed to have thought of something, and was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "Lin Cong, thank you. You can come back tomorrow night and go and have a good rest first."

I was about to ask, but I heard a slight footsteps coming from the wall, as if Wang Yue had walked away. I struggled for a while, came out of the mirror, and told Uncle Zhong and Li Damin about the situation. An old man like Uncle Zhong was a little confused, so I could only talk about it tomorrow night.

It's past two o'clock in the middle of the night, and I was so sleepy that I just rested on the sofa in Wang Yue's living room, and fell asleep. As for how they solved it, I didn't care.

When I got up, it was over 10 o'clock in the morning. I slept well without nightmares, but I felt uncomfortable all over. Li Damin woke up very early. Seeing me get up, I brought a hot water cup. I swept around but didn't see Uncle Zhong. I asked where he was. Li Damin told me that Uncle Zhong answered his daughter's call early in the morning, hurried away, and came over again in the evening.

I was a little stunned while drinking hot water. Fortunately, it was Sunday and I could still take a day off. If I pass the level like this in the next half of the night, I don’t know how long I can last. I’m tired during the day and can’t sleep at night to solve puzzles. No one is a big deal.

I told Li Damin about this concern, and Li Damin was surprised: "Do you still want to go to work? Just take a week's leave. Don't you still have annual leave? You are so immense. Have you ever thought that if you can't get through these seven days, your fate will become an idiot."

What he said makes sense.

We were both at Wang Yue's house for a day. Li Damin was excited to check every room and check the things inside, especially Wang Yue's study room. He read almost every book, and he was so busy watching it. I was not happy with his approach, but he didn't stop it. Maybe he could find any clues.

In the evening, Uncle Zhong came back and his face was not good-looking. Maybe he encountered something unpleasant. Although he was so capable, every family had difficult scriptures to recite, and he might not be able to handle all the things at home.

Uncle Zhong took us into the bedroom and started to do it. I entered the mirror again, came to the wall, tentatively touching the bracelet with my hands, and said, Wang Yue, are you there?

"At." Wang Yue immediately reacted.

"You are at the second level now?" I asked.

"Yes. I entered a new room, got stuck here, and couldn't get out," she said.

I had a question that I had been holding on for a day and finally asked: "What kind of space is there? Do I have rooms one by one?"

"I can't explain it clearly," Wang Yue said: "You can't understand it either. Simply put, this place is like a huge maze, with all kinds of spaces, not only rooms, but also outdoors, corridors, underground corridors, secret rooms, palaces, prisons, etc.."

My throat chuckled: "Is this designed?"

Wang Yue sighed: "Lin Cong, all things have the Lord of Creation, not only the realm of the bardo. Are you and I also created, they are all in the creation."

I shook my head gently, disagreed with her statement. This question was already a bit philosophical and I couldn't explain it clearly for a while. So I should hurry up and do the job, "Tell me, what should I do next?"

"There is a prompt switch in the room where I am, and there is a sentence on it." Her voice suddenly trembled: "That is the key to cracking."

I asked quickly, what do you mean?

“It says ‘The answer you need is in the person you hate the most.’” she said.

I was stunned, breathing rapidly, and asked what it meant?

"It means literally." Wang Yue said: "If you want to find the person I hate the most, the answer lies with him!"

I asked in confusion, "Who is the person you hate the most?"

Wang Yue was silent for a moment and said something inexplicable, "Do you want to know what happened when I was thirteen?"

I blinked quickly. The thirteenth birthday number was the key to cracking the first mechanism. I originally thought that after passing the previous level, the matter would be over, so why did Wang Yue raise it again?

Wang Yue said: "Lin Cong, there is a diary in my study, which records what happened when I was thirteen years old, and there is the person I hate the most! Lin Cong, remember, you only have one day to find him. Tomorrow night, you must tell me the answer. Otherwise, I will be trapped in this secret room and will never be able to get out."

Before I could ask, her voice disappeared. No matter how much I asked, there was no reply. I could only come back in a dull way, and Uncle Zhong held a candle in the black smoke and asked me how it was. I told all the things I had just happened and the conversation with Wang Yue.

"Diary?" Li Damin said from the side: "It seems that there is such a diary."

I quickly urged him to take it over. We came outside, Uncle Zhong and I were waiting in the living room. It was not long, and Li Damin came over with a diary. This diary has been around for a long time, and it was stapled with kraft paper, and there were some notes and newspaper clippings inside, like a hodgepodge with a strong taste of memories.

"Have you seen it? What happened when Wang Yue was thirteen years old?" I asked.

Li Damin smiled bitterly: "I saw this book during the day, but I didn't even realize it was a diary. After reading it, there was no date at all. I thought it was an essay. You also know that I am the least interested in reading such a whining thing, so I put it back to my original place."

"If you don't like to watch, you have to watch it," said Uncle Zhong: "Let's find out what happened when Wang Yue was thirteen years old."

He sat in the middle of the sofa with his diary. Li Damin and I sat on both sides. He flipped page by page, and the three of us looked together. After less than ten pages, Uncle Zhong was impatient: "It's too slow to see this."

"I have a way." Li Damin took the diary, took out a paper cutting knife from the drawer, and in front of us, he actually cut the diary several times, splitting the diary into three pieces from the middle, and cutting the whole one.

I was furious: "What are you doing?!"
