However, Angel also confirmed the method used by "people with stories" when presenting stories - curtain projection in the space of consciousness.
Angel personally prefers this presentation method.
Moreover, judging from the movements on Come's side, he did not know that his story had been captured.
Capture stories silently and play them back.
Not only is it convenient, but it is also very discreet.
While Angel was thinking about it, Com finally finished his work and came over with a somewhat broken ring and a bottle covered in mud.
These two objects were detected by the radio and were suspected to contain space-time information sources: "the ring sunk in the lake" and "the bottle buried under the holographic tree".
The explanation of "spatial and temporal information source" takes up a lot of space in the information flood, and it is a very profound concept.
But in fact, putting aside those obscure explanations, "space-time information source" can be simply understood as: the unique mark left by the power of emotion in time and space.
To put it more bluntly, it is: it carries the imprint of the user's strong emotions.
Any strong emotion cannot be generated overnight. The power of emotion must span time and space and be generated gradually.
To give a simple example, children will have a strong attachment to an inanimate object as they grow up. This attachment object is usually a soft blanket, an old piece of clothing, a doll or other soft objects that can provide comfort.
and a sense of security, helping children cope with separation anxiety and other emotional challenges.
This kind of thing, collectively called "Abebe", is actually an "item carrying strong emotions" and is also a so-called "space-time signal source".
There are many things like Abebe that "place their affection on things", and some even "place their affection on people", and all these objects or humans can be called spatio-temporal signal sources.
The ring and bottle that Comb just found are also sources of space-time signals and can be sensed by "story resonance".
Angel's eyes first looked at the ring that was obviously damaged and corroded.
"Resonate this ring." Angel ordered.
The radio, which was still in a daze, immediately erupted into a mysterious energy wave after receiving the command. When this wave spread to the ring, several chaotic voices sounded out of thin air.
"Sir, do you want to engrave something on the inside of the ring? Oh, are these two characters...Charlene, is this sir's fiancée?"
"What do you need to pay attention to when making a ring? Yes, you said it very well. It's up to you. We will use this customer's order as your graduation project... Let me see, Charlene's character should be engraved on the inside.
…”
"Charlene, I love you and I will always be with you..."
"Sink, I like you too."
"..."
"Charlene, why did you do this to me? Why did you do this?! You even wore the ring I gave you, you..."
"Sink, love is perfection."
"If love means fulfillment, why can't you fulfill me?"
"Hahaha, you both deserve to die, deserve to die!"
"don't want--"
These sounds come from different people, but it can be heard that they are basically the sounds surrounding the "ring".
The protagonists should be Charlene and Sink.
They seem to be lovers, and most of the audio signals come from the two of them, from falling in love to knowing each other, to the final betrayal and madness.
This ring witnessed this "sadistic love".
In the last few audio clips, Angel heard the sound of slashing, liquid splashing, women's screams, men's crazy voices, and the gurgling sound of falling water.
If nothing unexpected happens, the final ending has moved from a romantic drama to a criminal investigation drama.
Not to mention that Angel heard this, Com next to him was also dumbfounded and said with a stutter: "First of all, sir... this is..."
Angel didn't hide anything and said directly: "Through fashion magic, analyze and listen to the emotions this item carried in the past. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like a particularly beautiful story."
Comb felt his throat was a little dry. This was no longer a good or bad story, but a murder case. He needed to call the police!
Seeing the horrified look on Come's face, Angel threw the ring to him.
Comb was frightened and backed away at first, but when he saw the parabolic ring in the air, he still reached out and took it.
"Leave it to you. If you plan to call the police, this can be regarded as physical evidence. Although there is no audio, it is a bit difficult to turn it into conclusive evidence..." Angel: "But you have also heard the story. This thing is missing.
In Moonlight Lake, there is a high probability that the man named Sink has something to do with Modern High School. With these clues, it will be easy to solve the case."
Comb: "First, sir? Do you want me to report the crime?"
Angel shook his head: "No, the decision is up to you. You can also choose to sell it. Although it is a bit corroded, the price should not be too discounted."
Angel didn't care about the aftermath of this incident. Although the perpetrator did deserve to be punished,... this was just a copy after all.
While Com stared at the ring in silence, Angel's eyes turned to the bottle covered with wet soil.
The bottle has not been opened, but Angel has seen the contents of the bottle through God's perspective.
The things inside are very miscellaneous, including letters, pens, small toys, handmade works, and even some hair and clothes.
From the content of the letter, we can know that the person who wrote the letter is a girl named Serena. From the content of the letter, we can know that the bottle belongs to her, and it was her own idea to bury it by the Moonlight Lake.
She regarded the bottle as a "time capsule". After burying it, she wanted to open it ten years later to remember her youth.
Therefore, the things here are probably items that express youth for Serena, just so that she can recognize them ten years later.
Angel asked the radio to use "Story Resonance" on the bottle, and soon, an immature girl's voice came out of thin air.
This time, there was only one person speaking, and if nothing unexpected happened, it was Serena herself.
The general content is similar to what Angel guessed. This bottle is Serena's time capsule, left for her future self. But there are some subtle differences.
The main reason why Serena made this bottle for her future self is that she was "lost in love".
To be more precise, her crush failed and the boy she had a crush on got a girlfriend. She felt like her whole world was falling apart and her inner emotions were ups and downs.
A girl's feelings are always poetry, so the poem in Serena's heart at this time is a poem of emotion.
"I must remember the emotion of this moment. I can no longer have a crush on any man, especially the man named Tom! I must cut off my will!"
She left this bottle because she wanted to retain the emotions of this moment as a warning to herself ten years later.
It sounds like a special second grader.
But this is actually in line with the thoughts of little girls of this age. After experiencing a certain emotional setback, they want to remember it for a lifetime. But in fact, this kind of emotion often only becomes the main theme of life for a short period of time, and time will definitely change it.
Take these twists and turns away until they are forgotten.
It can be seen from the message left in the bottle that Serena buried the bottle three years ago. Although ten years have not yet passed, Angel believes that Serena at this time has probably forgotten that she buried the bottle in anger three years ago.
that night.
Perhaps Serena herself has forgotten her emotions at that time, but the time radio has not forgotten, the bottle that is the object of love has not been forgotten, and Mingzhi's "broken hair" inside has not been forgotten.
This is also the reason why "Story Resonance" can find the bottle.
After the incident of the ring and the bottle, Angel finally understood the general effect of "story resonance". Although compared with "people with stories", story resonance does not appear in the picture, it is just audio, but it can still be clearly understood.
Feel the strong emotions of the user at that time.
Angel personally feels that although "story resonance" may not be as expressive as "people with stories".
but!
It is not easy to extract such strong emotions from an inanimate dead thing.
After all, living people can definitely carry more information than dead things.
In short, Angel personally thinks these two abilities are pretty good.
…
Angel casually wiped away the magic circle ritual on the ground, and then buried Serena's bottle under the holographic tree again.
After doing all this, Angel walked to the side and patted Comb on the shoulder: "It's time to go."
Kang came out of his trance and subconsciously followed Angel outside.
Angel: "What are you going to do with this ring? Are you going to call the police or leave it alone?"
Comb was silent for a moment and said softly: "I still plan to hand it over to the sheriff."
Angel was not surprised by Com's choice.
Although Comb is occasionally a bit greedy for petty gains, it can be seen from some small details that he is a person with a strong sense of justice.
The choice he made was in line with his character.
It was precisely because Angel knew that Com was such a person that he gave the ring to him. Otherwise, Com would probably have troubled thoughts in his midnight dreams for a long time in the future.
"But I thought about it. If I go there in person, I can't explain it at that time. Besides, I don't want to involve the adults." A firm light flashed in Comb's eyes: "So, I am going to remain anonymous.
Call the police."
He would write the specific situation into a letter and give it to the people at the Sheriff's Department, so that it would not affect Angel.
Angel: "Then what if the person named Sink has now become a powerful person, or he has become a member of the Sheriff's Department, and your anonymous letter finally falls into his hands? What should you do?"
Comb: "Huh?"
Angel continued: "Also, we just heard some audio signals and did not actually see the scene. What if Zink did not actually kill Charlene?"
Comb looked confused: "Huh? No, it's unlikely, right?"
Angel did not answer and continued to ask: "What if, in fact, more than one person was killed at the scene?"
Comb: "But, in the audio just now, there was only Charlene's scream."
"That's because the ring belongs to Charlene, and it only records the sounds around Charlene. What if someone saw Sink murdering someone at that time, and then Sink chased him and killed that person? In this case, the ring will not record it.
.”
Comb was completely dizzy at this time and didn't know how to answer.
Angel: "Of course, the probability of occurrence of these situations I mentioned is not high, and there is a high probability that they will not occur... However, these possibilities cannot be completely ruled out, right?"
The reason why Angel suddenly extended the topic was because he just stopped by the archives of Modern Middle School to check it out.
Because he had checked Danni's information before, Angel was very familiar with the archives. It didn't take much effort to find the person named "Sink".
Ten years ago, he was a teacher at Modern Middle School, but later he resigned and disappeared.
It is worth mentioning that in the year he resigned, two teachers suddenly disappeared. One was named Charlene and the other was Blair. They disappeared almost at the same time. So far, this case has not been solved.
Angel didn't know if Blair, Charlene and Sink were related, but they disappeared at the same time, so there might be something fishy about it.
Maybe, he was also killed by Xin Ke.
Therefore, Angel gave Comb a warning, and also reminded himself: before doing anything, consider the problems you may encounter.
As for why you didn't tell Come directly? The main reason was that you didn't want to spoil the fun. Come would be attending a "scare" party later, so there was no need to add to the burden.
When they walked to the old teaching building, they heard bursts of exclamations coming from inside. Obviously, the influence of the Halloween party was still continuing, and from the crowd gathered outside the old teaching building, everyone seemed to be...
I was attracted by the scary makeup.
For young people, the more curious they are, the more attractive they are.
Angel found an open space and customized an illusion mask for Com.
"Go ahead."
Angel signaled to Com to move freely, then turned around and left with the radio.
…
Looking at the radio floating beside him, Angel thought for a while and asked: "Do you want to stay outside or enter the magic book?"
However, the time radio's answer was only a meaningless "ZZZZZZ" sound.
Angel: "..."
Angel also asked Turing this question before. At that time, Turing wanted to stay outside so that he could quickly access external information and enrich his own wisdom.
But the time radio is different from Turing after all, and Angel doesn’t know whether to leave it outside or put it away.
"Forget it, let's stay outside."
Although Angel doesn't know whether he can learn from Turing and increase his wisdom through external knowledge, he still has to try.
Angel was directly around the radio, covering it with a layer of nightmare, obscuring its figure.
After doing all this, Angel looked at the still ignorant radio and fell into thinking for a while.
"It's time to give you a name."
"Turing also has his own name, and you should have one too..."
