Wen Ling observed the jade platform from all directions, then straightened up, pointed at the baby and said, "Amber."
"Amber?" Qin Yin frowned, "What you mean is... I understand. Speaking of it, this little baby does seem to be sealed in the jade platform."
Just like the corpse of an ant wrapped in resin, the baby's body was also firmly trapped in the jade platform.
However, he is still breathing, he is still alive.
"And he can come out," Qin Yin said, "Didn't we see him at the top of the stairs?"
Wen Lingwai pondered, "Really?"
"Of course it's true," Qin Yin looked at Wen Ling's expression, "Didn't you see it too?"
Wen Ling shook his head slightly, stopped talking, and continued to ponder.
"Mr. Lu..." The manager wiped the sweat flowing to his forehead, "What should we do?"
"What should I do?" Lu Shoucai looked impatient.
"Should we keep him?" The manager hesitated for a moment and asked, "After all..."
"Didn't something happen?" Lu Shoucai glanced at the "amber" again, turned around and walked away, "What a fuss, let's go, Yiyi is still waiting for me down there."
"But Mr. Lu, last night, residents on the sixth floor also reported hearing sounds." The manager hurriedly followed, "Before, it was only around the eighth floor, but now it has spread to the sixth floor. I'm worried..."
Lu Shoucai stopped, turned his head and asked, "Is the voice still the same as before?"
"According to their description, it should be about the same. They are all in the stairwell," the manager said.
"No one saw it, right?"
"This...should not be."
"As long as no one sees it," Lu Shoucai said, "Let's go."
"We?" Wen Ling asked.
"We won't follow." Qin Yin knew what she was asking. "Let them go first. Let's investigate here. Anyway, the door doesn't seem to be locked, and Lu Yueyi has to go to school in the afternoon."
The secret door opened silently and closed silently.
"Okay, we are the only ones left," Qin Yin rolled up his sleeves, "Now I have to show off my talents."
Wen Ling quickly grabbed Qin Yin's hand and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Let's check here," Qin Yin said, "First, let's see what's hidden under those white cloths."
Qin Yin went to show off his skills, and Wenling looked up helplessly at the roof. Sure enough, there were four surveillance cameras set up on the four corners of the roof.
There are not a single surveillance camera in the corridor, but there are four here.
"Yin," Wen Ling pointed to the lenses, "Look."
Qin Yin also saw the camera, but the movements of his hands did not stop, "What's the point? The surveillance cameras can't capture us, so don't be afraid."
After saying that, she raised her hand and lifted the white cloth covering the first table.
Wen Ling held his forehead.
Indeed, you can't be seen, but the person on the other end of the surveillance can see the white cloth that suddenly flew up, and the suspended...
Seeing Qin Yin directly lift the things on the table, Wen Ling was so frightened that she immediately held down her hands, "Just watch!"
What Qin Yin holds in his hand is a piece of paper.
"I can't see clearly," Qin Yin pouted, "I thought it was something, but it turned out to be just a piece of paper."
The two of them bent down together and looked at the piece of paper.
That's not an ordinary piece of paper.
The paper is thick, has a rough surface, and is slightly yellowish in color.
"It's like that kind of paper used for drawing, what's it called..." Qin Yin said, reaching out and turning over the blank side of the white paper, "I remembered, sketching, it's like sketch paper."
The other side was revealed.
"Paint!" Wen Ling's eyes lit up.
On the other side of the paper, there is a messy pencil drawing.
"This... this shouldn't be a sketch," Qin Yin struggled to identify the content of the painting. "I remember that the sketches were all realistic. This is obviously... abstract."
There are messy black lines piled up on the drawing paper. No matter whether they look at it horizontally or vertically, neither of them can tell what the lines are.
"Look at the other ones," Qin Yin opened the second piece of white cloth, "Maybe it's a comic strip."
Under the second piece of white cloth, there is also a piece of paper like that.
The two tried to put the two paintings together, but found that they couldn't connect at all.
Qin Yin opened all the white cloths one by one.
"They are all paintings." The two of them squatted on the ground, playing with the paintings like a puzzle. "Don't tell me, after seeing too many of these paintings, it feels like it's a bit mentally polluting..."
Qin Yin pressed her temples, asking Ling to feel dizzy.
"No." Wen Ling said.
"Well," Qin Yin gave up, "Let's put it back, we still have to start with that child."
Wen Ling, who was arranging the drawing papers, was startled and asked, "Are you going to start?"
Qin Yin stepped forward confidently, bowed and stared at the baby in the jade platform, then reached out and tapped on the surface of the jade platform.
"Hey, little guy, wake up."
"Yeah!" The hair on Wen Ling's head stood up, "No!"
Two strange sounds came from the jade platform.
The sound was not like an ordinary knocking sound, but rather like water drops falling on ice cubes, gentle, cold, and with a slight echo.
"Don't be afraid, I didn't cause any damage," Qin Yin said, "Look, this child didn't react at all, and his sleep quality was excellent."
Wen Ling was a little scared, so she took Qin Yin's arm and said, "Let's go."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll look at another place." Qin Yin dragged Wen Ling to the other side of the jade platform, squatted down, and looked at the jade platform from the bottom up, "Look, he is hanging there.
, it really seems to be embedded inside, do you think it is vacuum inside?"
Wen Ling was forced to follow the train of thought and began to think.
"Anyway, when I knocked it just now, I felt that this thing was solid." Qin Yin touched the surface of the jade platform again, "Since it is solid, do you think he is breathing in it?"
Wen Ling blinked and couldn't figure it out.
"There is no air or water inside, but he can actually live," Qin Yin said in her mysterious voice, "He is definitely not a human being, at least not a living person."
Wen Ling's mouth opened a little, "Dead person?"
"I think this is probably Lu Shou's kid." Qin Yin said mysteriously.
"Little...little..." This is a proper term that Wen Ling has never heard of.
"Raising little ghosts," Qin Yin said, "I heard that many businessmen do this. It is said that raising little ghosts can bring good luck to the owner."
Wen Ling's eyes were wide open, with an expression that showed he had learned a lot.
"I didn't expect that Fatty Lu to actually do this kind of thing in this building, tsk tsk tsk..."
Wen Ling pointed at the baby and said, "Killed?"
"Killed? No, they won't kill the person," Qin Yin said, "If he was killed by them, how could he attract wealth for them? That's not a kid, that's a fierce ghost."
Qin Yin thought he had completed the exploration work, clapped his hands and stood up.
Before Wen Ling could stand up, he heard an ominous sound.
"Ah!" Qin Yin shouted, "I was hit to death."
It turned out that Qin Yin stood too fiercely and accidentally hit the lower edge of the jade platform with his shoulder.
Wenling helped Qin Yin rub his shoulders, and when their attention shifted from Qin Yin's bruised shoulders to the jade stand, they both screamed in surprise.
The jade platform was knocked over by Qin Yin.
The two made their judgment based on the baby's posture. Just now, the baby was facing away from them, but now it was facing them.
The baby's posture seems to have not changed, except that the front, back, left, and right are all upside down.
Wen Ling quickly turned to look at Qin Yin.
"Don't look at me like that," Qin Yin immediately defended, "You also saw that the jade platform didn't move at all just now. I didn't hit it."
"real?"
"You actually doubt me," Qin Yin put on a very sad expression, "If I did it, I will definitely admit it! It was obviously the big stone that did it on its own, but I suspect that it was the child who turned over.
Body, look...ah!"
Qin Yin pointed towards the jade platform, and he was so frightened that he jumped back half a step.
Wen Ling also looked at it.
The child was still huddled in the jade platform, but his eyes were open.
The eyes were dark and round, reflecting the appearance of the two people.
"This!..." Wen Ling also took half a step back, "Eye..."
"Run!"
Qin Yin grabbed Wen Ling's hand and ran away without saying a word.
The two of them had just taken a few steps when suddenly darkness fell.
"It's over!" Qin Yin turned around and hugged Wenling, "Wenling, hold on to me!"
"Hmm...hmm!"
The two hugged each other tightly, waiting for what would happen next.
However, the experience of gradually losing their five senses did not reappear. On the contrary, the two of them keenly felt that the ground under their feet suddenly became softer. Along with a sticky sluggish feeling, the two of them began to sink uncontrollably.
The two looked down and saw that their feet had sunk into the ground and were continuing to fall.
"Ah! We made a mistake!" Qin Yin let go of Wen Ling and turned to dig into Wen Ling's pocket, "It's not the baby, it's us who committed another foul. That person is here to punish us! Hurry up and give me the bridge."
Take out the talisman!..."
Wen Ling suddenly realized it and hurriedly rummaged through his pockets. The two anxiously poured out everything in Wen Ling's pocket and finally found the crumpled talisman.
"Give it to you!" Qin Yin shouted, pressing the talisman into the mud at his feet, "Let us out quickly!"
The moment the spell entered the mud, the surrounding light burst out, and the sticky feeling under their feet disappeared instantly.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were back.
Qin Yin and Wen Ling leaned against each other and sat paralyzed on the snow-white ground, breathing heavily.
"Why is it another foul?" Qin Yin wiped his sweat roughly, "It's so annoying, we didn't do any sabotage!"
Wen Ling put the things on the ground back into his pockets in embarrassment and said aggrievedly, "It's gone."
Qin Yin sighed, "If it's gone, it's gone. The worst thing we can do is be careful and don't commit any more violations... But I still can't figure it out. What changes have we made to the world this time?"
As she spoke, she turned to look at the jade platform, looked at the baby in the jade platform, and fell silent.
The baby turned over again at some point, and followed the two of them with its clear eyes, full of curiosity.
It seems that this is the change.
"Forget it, let's leave quickly."
The two escaped from the room. There was no one in the corridor. It was quiet. The bright morning had arrived, and the morning light passed through the window and filled the entire corridor.
"It shouldn't be noon yet," Qin Yin closed the door and said, "Let's go downstairs and have a look."
On the first floor, the door of Lu Jieyi's house was open, and there was a lot of noise inside.
The two of them hid at the door and looked inside. It turned out that the construction team had arrived and was checking the doors and windows.
"There's nothing wrong here," a man in front of me who looked like a captain fumbled with the floor-to-ceiling windows a few times, and then said to Lu Shoucai, "Mr. Lu, it's impossible for anyone to break in here. It can't be opened from the outside."
"There are no signs of being opened outside," said a worker who was checking outside the window.
"That's not here either," Lu Shoucai scratched his forehead, "Have you seen the window of Yiyi's room?"
"I've seen it, and there's nothing wrong with it," the worker said. "The windows in the lady's room are all specially made and cannot be opened from the window."
"Where did the gangster come in?" Lu Shoucai said to himself.
"No traces of theft were found in other rooms. Only the lady's room was messed up." The manager reminded at the side.
"Yes," Lu Shoucai said, "That means...that means that the gangster came in from Yiyi's room."
"Even so, it's definitely not through the window." The worker said.
"It's not a window..." Lu Shoucai repeated.
"Mr. Lu," the manager suddenly remembered something, "Has the bathroom in the lady's room been searched?"
Lu Shoucai blinked, "What do you mean..."
"I remember that there is usually a trap door on the roof of the bathroom to facilitate inspection of the roof water tank," the manager said. "The water tank is connected to other pipe spaces. Is it possible that the gangster came in through the door on the roof of the bathroom?"
Lu Shoucai felt a chill go down his spine and hurriedly knocked on his daughter's door.
"Yiyi, open the door, it's dad!"
The door opened quickly, and it was Lu Jieyi who opened the door with a slightly unhappy face.
"What's wrong with dad? Isn't the examination finished?"
"I haven't finished checking yet, Yiyi, let these uncles come in and check the bathroom in your bedroom."
"Bathroom?" Lu Jieyi looked confused.
The workers found the door and neatly set up a small ladder. One worker raised his arm and gently opened the door.
Suddenly, a strange smell filled the air.
The smell was very complex, with the smell of a closed warehouse that had not been opened for a long time, and a strong smell of moisture. There was also a faint... rotten smell floating in it.
Lu Jieyi stood below covering her nose, "It smells so bad."
"There's something wrong with this smell," Lu Shoucai's eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Master, could you please go up and take a look inside?"
The worker didn't hesitate much, climbed a few steps, and climbed into the space above the toilet.
"Are there any traces inside?" Lu Shoucai asked.
"There does seem to be something... eh? There is something in front of me!" There was a rubbing sound, and the man was climbing. "That's... ah! ah! The head!..."
There was a crackling sound on the roof, and the worker climbed back with a pale face and almost fell off.
"What's up there?"
"Head! There's a head on it!" the worker yelled at the top of his lungs. "Call the police! There's a dead head on it!"
